The  ideal  of  education  is  the  formation  of  moral 
character  and  the  culture  of  the  heart.  This  is  the  supreme 
end  of  education — or  rather  this  is  education  itself.

as  the  children  who  waited  on 
the  bank,  swim  back  with  the 
object  between  his  teeth.  A 
great  occasion  for  them  in 
their  simple  life  was  when  men 
from  nearby  towns  came  out  to 
their  hospitable  home  and  stay- 
ed days  at  the  time  and  hunted. 
These  were  exciting  days  for 
Josephus.  and  he,  boy-like,  long- 
ed for  the  day  when  he  would 
be  "big  enough'  'to  hunt. 
Early  Home  Training 
Their  early  home  life  was  a 
happy  one  and  just  before  mov- 
ing into  a  new  house,  their 
mother  became  a  Christian. 
This  exemplified  the  new,  clean, 
unsoiled  and  unsulhed  life  she 
was  to  live,  leaving  the  worn 
out,  the  cast  off  and  meager  life 
behind  for  the  fresh,  clean  and 
full  life.  "I  am  come  that  ye 
may  have  life,  and  have  it  more 


and  there  sweeps 
across  the  vast  expanse  wave 
after  wave  resembling  ocean 
billows.  This  may  be  termed 
one  of  God's  masterpieces, 
"When  I  consider  thy  heavens, 
the  work  of  thy  fingers,  the 
moon  and  the  stars,  which  thou 
hast  ordanied,  what  is  man.  that 
thou  art  mindful  of  him?  and 
the  son  of  man  that  thou  visitest 
him.  For  thou  hast  made  him 
a  little  lower  than  the  angels, 
and  hast  crowned  him  with 
glory  and  honor.  Thou  hast  put 
all  things  under  his  feet;  all 
sheep  and  oxen,  yea,  and  the 
beasts  of  the  field;  the  fowl  of 
the  air.  and  the  fish  of  the  sea, 
and  whatsoever  passeth  through 
the  paths  of  the  seas.  O  Lord, 
our  Lord,  how  excellent  is  thy 
name  in  all  the  earth!"

influence  and  care  of  his  mother  sed  with  their  personalities.  In

Four  years  later  their  home  young  boys  made  the  good  con- 
life  was  broken  and  in  1853  the  fession.  All  who  were  at  the 
family  set  out  in  a  covered  Hopwood  home  at  that  time 
wagon  for  the  prairies  of  lUinois.  saddled  their  horese  on  Sunday 
Josephus  and  his  brother  walk-  afternoon  and  rode  three  miles 
ed  along  behind  their  big  old  to  the  creek  to  witness  the  bap- 
wagon  as  they  passed  through  tism  of  these  three  friends.  Joe 
Lexington,  then  on  through  was  among  the  spectators.  This 
Frankford  and  then  came^o  the  act  was  symbolic  of  the  death, 
great  Ohio  River.  This  hquid  burial,  and  resurrection  of  the 
band  of  Nature  was  a  wonder  to  Man  of  Gahlee  and  the  scene 
them,  and  they  interpreted  it  in  deeply  impressed  itsejf  on  the 
terms  of  their  little  creek  at  mind  and  heart  of  eleven  year 
home,  grown  up.  After  crossing  old  Joe,  Scarcely  are  we  able 
the  Ohio  river  the  two  boys  ran  to  estimate  the  value  of  soul 
to  the  top  of  the  hill,  and  as  stirring  scenes  upon  a  youthful 
they  thought,  to  the  top  of  the  mind.  Can  we  not  remember

were  the  matchless  prairies  of  tjTed  Christiai)?  Stephen,  the 
niinois.  After  many  miles  of  man  of  strong  faith,  the  man

listen  to  the  howling  of  the  the  holy  rite  of  baptism  effect

faniilj',    from    Kentucky   to   the  Never   for    an    instant    did    the 


awareness  of  this  promise  leave 
him  though  many  years  elapsed 
before  he  fulfilled  this  promise 
to  his  own  satisfaction. 
Soldier 

When  only  eighteen  years  of 
age,  there  came  a  thrill,  uJi- 
known  to  him  before — the  eter- 
nal, enticing,  captivating  call  to 
arms!  So  Josephus  donned  the 
uniform  and  for  three  years  was 
engaged  in  war  and  its  inevit- 
able horrors  and  misfortunes. 
From  November  1863  to  March 
of  the  next  year,  he  spent  in 
the  Confederate  Prison  on  Belle 
Island.  Virginia.  The  hardships 
of  prison  life  need  only  be  men- 
tioned to  be  sympathetically 
evaluated.  Upon  release  Joe 
emerged  .not  the  strong,  ener- 
getic, robust  Joe  of  former  days, 
but  a  slender,  starving,  emaciat- 
ed form  of  114  pounds,  with  a 
deeper  glow  in  the  eyes,  and  a 
firmer  conviction  in  the  mind, 
and  a  wider  knowledge  in  the 
tieart.  Thus  are  the  lessons  of 
life  learned,  and  the  foolishness 
of  strife  and  hatred  among 
brothers  is  made  evident  and 
real  to  tone  experiencing  such 
days  as  composed  the  pages  of 
Josephus  Hopwod's'  life  during 
these  three  years.  During  this 
time  many  temptations  lay 
around  his  pathway;  curses 
could  be  heard  on  the  hps  of 
comrades,  chicken  stealing  be- 
came a  great  sport,  card-playing 
a  common  practice  and  drink- 
ing the  road  to  oblivion.  In  this 
period  of  his  hfe,  when  in  the 
service  of  his  country,  he  was 
plastic,  responsive,  and  hospit- 
able to  new  suggestions  and 
new  ideals,  but  Joe  kept  his 
mind  pure,  his  lips  and  soul 
clean  and  his  body  undefiled, 
for  always,  before  the  mind  of 
Joe.  burning  as  surely  and 
brightly  as  the  sun  that  shines 
by  day,  loomed  the  promise, 
"Lord.  I  will  become  a  Chris- 
tian." 

Meeti  Future  Wife 

Full  of  energy  and  the  vigor 
of  life  the  youthful  mind,  in 
accordance  with  Nature,  began 
to  feel  the  thrill  of  friendship, 
companionship,  ripening  into 
love.  The  object  of  his  affec- 
tions was  Miss  Sarah  Eleanor 
LaRue.  who  at  the  lime  was  at- 
tending school  in  Missouri.  The 
base  of  the  biological  triangle 
is   in   this   case  substantial,   for 


the  very  name  LaRue  implies 
French  ancestry  and  all  that 
goes  with  the  spirightly.  ver- 
satile, and  resourceful  French 
character.  Her  mother  was  a 
Hardin,  and  that  name  is  well 
known  for  its  varied  achieve- 
ment and  honorable  public  ser- 
vice in  the  Blue  Grass  State, 
The  beginning  and  realization  of 
this  courtship  were  eight  years 
apart  Letters  which  passed  be- 
tween Mr.  Hopwood  and  Miss 
LaRue  are  so  rare  in  character, 
and  unique  in  manner,  that  they 
command  attention.  Between 
the  lines  of  the  letter  which  fol- 
lows, you  may  read  the  very 
soul  of  the  writer: 

Sneedville.  Tenn. 
March  23,  1874. 
Miss  S.  E.  LaRue, 

Time,  Loved  one.  is  said,  to 
be  unrecokoned  in  that  beauti- 
ful world  which  is  to  be,  but 
in  this  temporal  world,  as  the 
adjective  shows,  time  is  an 
element  in  all  our  thoughts  con- 
cerning it.  We  think  about  it, 
we  try  to  measure  it  and  tr>' 
to  estimate  its  value.  I  thought 
of  the  days  and  the  mail  days, 
which  would  bring  me  a  letter. 
The  days  came,  the  mail  days 
came,  (this  is  one)  but  they 
brought  me  no  letter,  no  paper, 
hence  brought  no  gladness-  Such 
times  always  seem  to  me  or  to 
remind  me  of  a  hungry  human 
going  where  he  expects  food, 
yet  finds  none. 

However  you  have  doubtless 
had  some  such  experience  and 
know  the  feeUngs  in  spite  of  all 
our  philosophy.  And  yet,  I  often 
enjoy  a  sort  of  laugh  at  self,  like 
a  thinking  being  independent  of 
the  world  and  its  associations 
would  be  expected  to  do.  I  once 
heard  of  a  man  or  woman,  in 
Saint  Louis  who  died  and  said 
he  stood  about  and  looked  at  his 
own  body  same  as  those  around 
did.  Sometimes  we  see  our  own 
foibles  and  weaknesses  as  ho 
did  his  body. 

Another  week  has  gone.  How 
are  you?  What  has  been  done 
for  evil,  for  good?  What  for 
hope,  for  heaven?  Anything  for 
lave,  for  life?  Could  we  not 
enjoy  a  talk  along  there?  Would 
you  not  be  willing  to  talk  phi- 
losophy for  a  time?  Then  visit 
the  Y  o  s  e  m  i  t  e  Valley,  read 
Isaiah,  Paradise  Lost  take  a 
buggy  ride,  talk  of  lite,  its  work, 
its  hope,  its  charm,  doing  good, 
Heaven,  Love? 

How  long  did  your  friend  stay 
with  you? 

Tuesday.  P.  M. 

Have  written  a  letter  to  Prof. 
Thompson  tonight.  If  ever  you 
meet  him  you  will  call  him  a 
noble   man.     It  is  good   to  be- 


lieve there  are  some  such- 

The  weather  has  become  cold 
down  here  last  few  days.  I  ex- 
pect it  is  more  cold  at  your 
house,  but  then  those  flowers 
will  have  time  enough  to  grow, 
yet  our  school  will  be  half  out 
this  week — twelve  weeks  spent 
away  and  next  week  we  start 
another  twelve.  And  so  life 
goes,  by  weeks,  by  months,  by 
years,  and  old  people  coimt 
back  by  decades,  young  people 
count  forward  by  the  same,  but 
with  God  we  suppose  there  is 
not  count,  yet  we  cannot  under- 
stand that  thought 

Write  to  me.  I  love  you. 
hence  love  to  receive  your  let- 
ters. Many  good  thoughts  for 
your  folks  at  home. 

Good  by.  Does  it  not  mean 
"God  be  with  you"?        ' 

J.  H. 
Dedicated  To  Teaching 

The  child  is  father  of  the  man 
and  it  follows  as  the  night  the 
day.  that  manhood  found  the 
same  purity  of  mind,  cleanliness 
of  speech,  undauntednss  of  pur- 
pose, and  love  of  service  as  boy- 
hood. "His  strength  was  as  the 
strength  of  ten,  because  his 
heart  was  pure."  After  many 
internal  struggles  between  con- 
flicting impulses  and  possibiU- 
ties  of  service  to  God  and  man, 
he  definitely  reached  the  con- 
clusion to  dedicate  his  life  to 
eduction  in  the  South.  There 
cduld  have  been  no  appeal  to 
financial  compensation,  personal 
ease,  or  advancement  that  lured 
him  to  the  South  in  the  days 
following  the  War  between  the 
States.  Providence  guided  him 
to  one  of  the  neediest  counties 
in  the  nation  for  his  eearUest 
educational  efforts  in  the  south.

panels  then  follow  with  the  story 
of  the  fabulous  sea-girt  city 
which  enjoyed  a  charmed  life. 
With  her  government  and  popu-

faction:  Venice;  one  loyalty: 
Venice;  one  love:  Venice.

Fate  of  the  City 

After  the  discovery  of  Amer- 
ica, and  new  trade  routes  to  the 
Orient  were  opened  in  the  16th 
centup.-.  Venice  was  doomed. 
That  she  withstood  her  enemies 
in  war  and  trade  from  697  to 
1797  is  testimony  to  her  gr,eat 
strength.  But  by  the  mid- 
eighteenth  centur>'  Venice  was 
a  shell  of  her  former  self.  The 
masks  worn  at  her  brilliant  car- 
nivals seemed  to  symbolize  her 
false  position.  Then  in  1797  a 
handful  of  Napoleon's  troops 
put  an  end  to  the  once  proud 
state. 

The  exhititjon  was  perparcd 
under  the  direction  of  John 
Goldsmith  Phillips,  Associate 
Curator  of  Renaissance  and 
Modern  Art.  Metropolitan  Mus- 
eum of  Art  The  textual  com- 
mentary, also  by  Mr.  Phillips, 
quotes  freely  from  various  15th 
and  16lh  centur>-  writers  and 
describes  the  Republic  of  Venice 
at  the  height  of  its  power.

At  Boston  University^  * 

Back  to  Boston,  this  young 
lady  entered  the  Boston  Uni- 
versity School  of  Religious  Ed- 
ucation, and  after  some  study 
there,  transferred  to  a  job  in 
Washmgton,  D.  C. 

In  the  nation's  capital,  Mary 
worked  for  the  Women's  Inter- 
national League  for  Peace  and 
Freedom.  For  some  time  she 
was  private  secretary  to  Miss 
M  Young,  devoting  herself  to 
the  promotion  of  the  famed 
Children's  Theatre,  operating

young  couple  began  studying  at 
the  University  of  that  state. 
Mrs.  McKinney  continued  her 
religious  training,  while  her 
husband  earned  his  A.B.  degree. 
He  also  received  the  Master  of 
arts  and  doctor  of  philosophy 
degipes  in  chemistry  from  the 
University  of  Texas.  Later,  he 
taught  chemistry  at  his  alma 
mater  in  Austin. 

Mrs.  McKinney  jokingly  says 
"About  all  we've  done  during 
the  past  several  years  is  to 
move  about  the  country.  So 
next,  we  moved  from  Austin  to 
Roswell,  New  Mexico,  where 
Dr.  McKinney  had  employment 
as  a  research  chemist  for  the 
government." 

Their  First  ChUd

tin and  during  their  several- 
months  stay,  Mrs.  McKinney 
established  the  Toyland  Nurs-

girl,  Bonnie,  was  bom  in  Knox- 
ville. Then  came  a  skip  from 
Tennessee  to  Angola,  New 
York,  where  the  chemist  work- 
ed for  National  Analine  re- 
search. In  addition  to  her 
mounting  duties  as  a  mother, 
Mrs.  McKinney  found  time  to 
serve  as  chaplain  of  her  church 
Guild  and  to  teach  a  Sunday 
School  class. 

Back  To  Southwest 

Aubrey,  Mary  Louisa,  Loma 
and  Bonnie  again  traveled 
westward  and  this  time  stop- 
ped at  Dallas,  Texas.  Mary  took 
time  out  again  to  open  and  op- 
erate a  private  kindergarten 
which  she  appropriately  named 
"The  Bo  Peep  Nursery  School." 
She  also  found  time  to  be  rec- 
reational leader  for  an  adult 
Sunday  School  class,  a  Bible 
school  teacher  study  leader  for 
the  Women's  Society  of  Chris- 
tian Sen,'icc,  Her  husband,  too, 
taught  a  Bible  class  in  their 
church. 
They  Move  To  East  Tennessee 

The  family  came  to  Eliza- 
bethton  in  194C,  whore  Dr.  Mc- 
Kinney took  a  position  as  a 
chemist  for  the  American  Bem- '

Contributor  To  Periodicals 
As  a  writer.  Mrs.  McKiimey 
has  devoted  her  efforts  to  pro- 
ducing religious  articles  and 
works  dealing  with  juvenile 
problems.  Many  of  her  literary 
efforts  have  been  published  in 
leading  religious  journals  in  this 
country.  In  the  September.  1948 
issue  of  Workers  With  Youth

Student  At  Milligan 
Mary  McKinney,  now  a  citi- 
zen of  the  United  States,  en- 
rolled at  Milligan  in  September, 
1949.  Systematic  and  thorough 
in  her  work,  she  is  quite  at 
home  in  the  classroom,  although 
she  makes  clear  that  going  to 
school  is  a  secondary  interest  to 
that  of  being  a  devoted  wife 
and  mother.  Her  busy  day  be- 
gins early.  After  routine  house- 
hold chores  are  taken  care  of  she 
goes  for  the  maid  who  comes  to 
the  home  and  takes  care  of  two- 
year-old  David.  Then  Lorna  and 
Bonnie  must  be  taken  to  school. 
Next  she  takes  her  husband  to 
his  work,  and  then  shuttles  off 
in  the  family  car  toward  Milli- 
gan where  there  is  still  time  to 
spare  before  those  nine-o'clock 
classes.  Religion  is  Mary's  ma- 
jor field  of  study  at  Milligan, 
although  she  has  special  interest 
in  psychology. 

"Milligan  is  such  a  friendly 
school,"  the  industrious  house- 
wife and  student  remarks.  "I'd 
even  like  to  teach  someday  in 
such  a  college  at  this." 

Aubrey,  Mary.  Loma,  Bonnie 
and  David  McKinney  are. quite 
at  home  in  their  newly-acquired 
"River  Meadows"  1000  Syca-

POLICY 

To    promote    school    spirit,    good    sportsmanship,    and 
fair-play,  with  emphasis  on  Christian  Education 

IN  THE  FULNESS  OF  TIME 

An  Era  Begins 

The  new  semester  has  brought  with  it  a  vision  and  the 
beginning  of  reahty  for  a  period  of  progress  at  Milligan 
College.  The  spring  term  of  1950  was  opened  under  the 
ccmpetent  leadership  of  a  new  president.  He  comes  to 
impart  to  us  a  brand  new  outlook  lor  the  year  ahead,  and 
to  set  for  this  institution  of  learning  a  more  broadening 
horizon.  We  are  beginning  what  the  Stampede  believes 
to  be  a  new  era  in  Milligan  history. 

History  is  made  more  interesting  if  we  single  out  the 
countjess  incidents  when  great  men  were  Providentially 
sent,  it  seems,  to  become  leaders  of  a  worthy  cause. 

The  Southern  Appalachian  Highlands  needed  a  school 
where  men  and  women  could  be  trained  in  the  liberal  arts 
with  emphasis  on  Christian  education.  Josephus  and 
Sara  Hopwood  stopped  on  the  banks  of  Buffalo  Creek,  took 
over  Colonel  Barker's  infant  '"Male  and  Female  Academy" 
and  a  need  was  fulfilled.  From  that  time  to  the  present 
thousands  have  sacrificed  to  make  Milligan  what  she  is 
today. 

With  the  backing  of  that  multitude  of  friends,  and 
the  untiring  labors  of  nine  presidents  who  have  preceded 
Dr.  Walker,  Milligan  has  ridden  out  the  devastating  years 
of  three  wars  and  has  survived.  When  she  again  stood  at 
the  crossroads  in  recent  years,  her  right  course  seemed 
assured  in  the  person  of  an  outstanding  scholar,  teacher 
and  Christian  leader. 

With  the  coming  of  Dr.  Dean  Everest  Walker,  Mil- 
ligan faces  a  new  world  with  renewed  faith.  Under  his 
guidance  we  hope  to  push  ahead  to  a  new  unity,  and  a  new 
height  of  progress. 

The  time  is  right.  The  Leader  is  fitting.  Prospects 
are  good-

After  securing  the  helpmate, 
Sarah  Eleanor  La  Rue,  this  town 
became  the  object  of  their  fit-st 
project,  The  couple  had  antici- 
pated, as  their  wedding  trip,  a 
visit  to  Mamouth  Cave,  in  the 
bride's  own  state.  However, 
circumstances  preventing,  they 
hastened  to  Sneedville,  the  near- 
est railroad  station  being  28 
miles  from  the  town  itself.  Ar- 
riving at  their  destination  they 
got  off  the  train  and  awaiting 
them  was  a  charming  one  horse 
topless  buggy,  lined  with  green 
plush.  Such  a  night!  Perfectly 
elated  and  almost  oblivious  to 
the  steady  downpour  of  August 
rain,  the  bride  and  groom  drove 
28  miles.  Mrs.  Hopwood  crossing 
mountains  for  the  first  time  in 
her  life;  and  added  to  this  ex- 
perience the  Holston  and  Clinch 
Rivers,  which  they__  necessarily 
had  to  cross,  were  both  almost 
to  the  point  of  overflowing  their 
banks,  and  although  unable  to 
discern  the  opposite  shore,  they 
drove  the  horse  into  the  swell- 
ing flood,  and  came  out  safely 
on  the  other  side.  From  this 
night,  the  couple  lived  and 
moved  and  acted  as  one  indivi- 
dual, one  unit  in  the  kingdom  of 
God,  and  the  name  "Hopwood" 
conjures  up  in  the  minds  of 
hundreds,  nay  thousands  of  peo- 
ple not  just  Dr.  Hopwod  but  his 
yoke  fellow  for  more  than  a 
half  a  century,  Sarah  La  Rue 
Hopwood. 

"It  lakes  a  soul 

To  move  a  body;  it  takes  a 
high-souled  man 

To  move  the  masses  even  to 
a  cleaner  stye; 

It  takes  the  ideal  to  blow  an 
inch  aside 

The  dust  of  the  actual." 
Apostle  to  the  T^uIUunjuns' 

Upon  arrivial  in  Sneedville. 
the  couple  went  to  the  hotel  of 
the  town.  The  Cobb  Hotel,  and 
here  they  made  their  home  dur- 
ing the  year  which  they  lived 
in  Sneedville.  This  charming 
little  town  rested  at  the  foot  of 
Newman's  Ridge,  a  town  of  ap- 
proximately 500  inhabitants. 
The  topography  of  Sneedville 
was  flat  but  rising  at  its  imme- 
diate edge  like  an  impenatrable 
wall  ran  this  high  ridge  of 
mountains,  separating  the  town 
from  the  outside  world.  New- 
man's Ridge,  these  huge  masses 
of  creation,  were  literally  seeth- 
ing with  curious  specimen  of 
humanity,  a  mixed  breed  of 
Indian  and  whites  known  as  the 
Mullunjuns.  These  people  live- 
ed  in  the  most  primitive  fashion 
and  their  chief  means  of  live- 
lihood was  the  manufacture  of 
that  age  old  "liquid  fire,"  com 
whiskey.  The  revenue  officers 
remonstrated  whenever  possible, 
but  the  offenders  could  see  no 
justice  or  reason  in  paying  tax 
on  a  product  made  from  their 
own  corn  which  they  themsel- 
ves   plowed    and    harvested. 

As  a  typical  example  we  may 
cite  that  well  known  individual, 
Mrs.  Murry.  who  lived  alom-  in 
her  hut  on  the  side  of  the  moun- 
tain, and  who  sent  her  liquor 
to  Sneedville  to  be  peddled  on 
the  street,  sold  by  the  cupful, 
the  coffcepotful,  or  any  other 
vessellful  available  for  measure. 


This  sister  was  the  thorn  in  the 
nesh  to  the  revenue  officers  who 
felt  her  case  to  be  positively 
hopeless.  Finally,  a  young  am- 
bitious revenue  officer  was  .sent, 
and  after  a  week's  effort,  his 
results  were  stated  thus  in  a 
telegram  to  headquarters  "She's 
catchabte,  but  not  fetchable." 

The  year  at  Sneedville  v/as. 
taken  as  a  whole,  a  successful 
one,  Mr.  Hopwood  being  the 
only  teacher  whom  the  towns- 
people had  allowed  to  remain 
the  entire  school  year,  as  it  had 
been  their  cusom  whenever  the 
teacher  did  not  do  as  they  dic- 
tated to  run  him  off. 

One  of  the  characteristics 
which  made  him  great,  was 
brought  into  play  during  this 
year.  Realizing  that  every  heart 
contained  perfection's  germ,  yet 
believeing  this  germ  to  be  more 
capable  of  maturation  in  some 
individuals  than  in  others.  Mr. 
Hopwood,  at  the  end  of  the  first 
year  in  Sneedville,  felt  that  the 
Lord  had  larger  work  for  him 
to  do  and  so  he  left  the  town,  a 
practically  penniless  man  as  far 
as  material  wealth  is  concern- 
ed, riding  an  animal  bought  with 
a  promistory  note.  This  belov- 
ed little  horse  he  called  Morgan. 
His  words  following,  betray  the 
almost  human  aspect  in  which 
he.  as  well  as  his  wife,  consi- 
dered the  speechless  group  of 
the  Creator's  handiwork.  Tlie 
second  excerpt  is  a  fragment 
of  a  letter  to  Mrs.  Hopwood 
written  in  1877. 

MORGAN,  MY  HORSE 

In  July.  1875,  I  landed  from 
the  cars  at  Rockcastel  River. 
Kentuckj',  en  route  to  Sneed- 
ville. Tenn.  London,  Laurel 
County,  Ky.,  sixteen  miles 
away  was  the  first  point  to 
be  reached.  Seeking  convey- 
ance I  soon  found  a  horse  and  a 
hght  boy  and  was  ready.  As 
I  now  remember,  we  started 
after  2:00  P.  M.  and  reachd 
London  before  six  o'clock.  Never 
have  I  enjoyed  a  more  charm- 
ing horseback  ride  as  to  ease, 
and  grace  of  the  animal's  travel. 

I  though,t  "Oh,  if  I  could  own 
a  horse  with  this  pleasing  mo- 
tion." By  varied  means  of 
travel  fool,  wagon,  and  horse. 
over  the  mountains  and  across 
the  country,  in  a  few  days,  I 
was  at  Sneedville.  and  a  week 
later  ready  to  leave.  Though 
having  but  little  money,  a  gen- 
uine friend,  Isaac  W.  Campbell, 
offered  to  sell  me  a  three  year 
old  colt.  He  was  willing  to 
accept  the  statement  "I  will  give 
your  boy  his  tuition,  and  pay 
his  board  wherever  I  may  teach 
this  year"  as  more  than  pay- 
ment for  the  colt,  Morgan,  On 
the  first  trail.  I  discovered  in 
the  animal  that  charming  mo- 
tion so  enjoyed  in  the  other 
horse.  The  proposition  was  ac- 
cepted and  I  rode  away  to  seek 
a  new  work  in  a  strange  coun- 
try. 

The  colt's  easy  springing  half 
trot  and  running  walk  rapidly 
developed.  A  kind,  gentle  dis- 
position was  manifest  He  would 
wait  for  me.  He  would  follow 
me.  Travelling  alone  we  were 
soon  forming  a  close  firendship. 
Buffalo  Institute  was  reached, 
that  journey  ended.  But  our 
longer  sep-'ice  together  increased 
the  attachment. 

Time  gave  him  his  growth. 
Let  us  look  at  him.  He  was  a 
light  chestnut  sorrel,  fourteen 
hands  and  a  half  high,  with  a 


slightly  arched  necfe,  ears  just 
right,  and  a  finely  tapering  head 
with  large  brown  eyes  as  royal 
as  an  eagel's.  His  breast  was 
full  enought.  his  shoulders  and 
forelegs  shaped  for  a  traveller, 
his  body  only  medium  round, 
and  his  hips  steep  and  hind  legs 
more  than  usually  crooked,  the 
pastor  joints  conning  down  close 
to  the  ground,  giving  the  spring 
to  his  motion.  His  hair  was  soft 
like  plush,  his  mane  as  silken 
threads,  his  veins  on  the  sxir- 
face;  his  blood  full  of  both  gen- 
tleness and  energy.  Man's 
best  friend.  The  first  year  he 
made  small  circuits  around 
Buffalo  Institute,  the  second 
larger,  the  third  he  went  socres 
and  fifties  of  miles  away. 
Still,  that  energy  abounded-  He 
would  climb  a  mountain,  scale 
a  cliff,  swim  a  river,  or  make 
a  sixty-five  mile  travel  in  one 
day,  just  as  his  master  willed. 
As  he  sped  along  the  way  that 
pleasing  face  would  turn  back 
to  the  rider  for  bread  or  apple, 
which  was  both  given  and  re- 
ceived as  a  great  pleasure.  I 
am  sorry  now  I  ever  jerked  that 
bridle  rein  a  few  times,  so  gen- 
tle is  the  memory  of  him.  That 
horse  has  gone  with  me  to  the 
deep  forest  solitudes  and  heard 
what  no  human  on  earth  ever 
heard — the  soul's  deep  struggles 
to  be  free  from  sin  and  get  close 
to  God  who  loves  us.  He  has 
stood  there  by  me  in  the  day's 
heat  and  at  midnights'  hour, 
when  we  pass  those  places  now 
his  image  is  present  and  his 
nibble  at  the  leaves  almost 
heard.  Where  is  Morgan  today? 
Can  a  life  cease  to  be? 

Five  years  of  this  friendship 
and  CO  work  passed.  Its  plea- 
sures were  many.  But  the  fre- 
quent necessity  of  heeding  the 
injunction  to  "Turn  not  away 
from  him  who  would  borrow" 
was  felt  to  be  more  a  duty  than 
a  privilege,  so  strong  is  our  self- 
isness.  While  Morgan  and  I 
were  in  the  field,  there  was  a 
loving  power  at  home.  She 
welcomed  us  back  and  with 
gathering  friends  cheered  us  on 
for  greater  work. 

Morgan  Sold  For  Cause  of 

Christian  Education 
'The  building  is  too  smaU." 
"A  larger  one  must  go  up."  "God 
will  carry  us  through,"  were  the 
thoughts  born  midst  the  daring 
mountain  crags,  and  confirmed, 
we  beleieve.  in  the  courts  of 
Heaven.  It  was  begun.  It  took 
money.  We  knew  it  would-  It 
took  labor.  That  was  expected. 
It  took  more  money  and  more 
labor  and  called  gain.  It  took 
credit  The  time  soon  came  to 
meet  this.  Where  is  the  money? 
Where  the  power?  Friends 
gave,  but  the  cry  was  not  hush- 
ed. It  came  again.  Did  an>' 
conscientious  reader  ever  re- 
ceive a  letter  and  know  its  con- 
tents before  it  wiis  opened? 
Such  letters  came.  How  can 
this  one  be  met?  Can  I  part 
with  my  horse?  Can  I  sell  to 
strangers  the  ■  gentle  favorite 
which  finds  no  grass  so  sweet 
as  that  close  to  home's  door? 
and  no  food  so  good  as  bread 
from  my  loved  wife's  hand? 
Can  I  sell  my  friend?  Such  was 
duty's  call.  Braced  with  cour- 
age, without  telling  that  one  at 
home  the  full  of  it,  I  rode  him, 
for  the  last  time,  to  town,  and 
not  until  the  hand  was  placed 
on  his  soft  arched  neck  to  say 
goodbye  did  a  tear  fall.  I  walk- 
ed home  to  see  the  tears  on 
mother's  cheek  but  with  the 
happy  consciousness  that  one 
more  debt  was  paid.  I  would 
suffer  thus  again  to  pay  a  debt, 
but  not  to  be  governor  of  Ten- 
nessee for  honor's  sake.

'Time  Flies  And  Milligan 
Changes'  Says  Perpetual  'Student' 

Familiar  Figure  on  Campus  Links  Past  With  Present;  Boasts 
Friendship  of  Nine  Milligan  Presidents 


Andrew  Jackson  Jones,  nearing  the 
age  mark  of  three  score  and  five,  has  been 
an  integral  part  of  life  on  Milligan  Col- 
lege hill  for  the  past  forty-eight  event- 
packed  years.  This  interesting  personage, 
who  is  gradually  taking  his  place  among 
the  numerous  legends  of  East  Tennessee, 
is  'known  to  thousands  who  have  passed 
through  these  halls  of  learning,  and  to 
community  and  regional  people  as  just 
plain  "Crook."  Occasionally  it  is  Crook 
Jones." 

Soon  after  the  turn  of  the  centur>'. 
Crook  a  Bickley's  Mill.  Virginia  pioduct 
came  south  across  a  few  hills  and  stop- 
^  ped  at  the  home  of  Nathaniel  G  Taylor 
Nathaniel  was  a  prominent  figure  in  Ten- 
nessee's era  of  history  which  was  high 
lighted  by  the  famous  "War  of  the  Roses ' 
He  was  the  father  of  the  brothers-gover- 
nors Bob,  a  Democrat,  from  1887  to  1891 
and  1897-1899;  and  Alf.  Republican,  from 
1921  to  1923.  The  Taylors  were  great 
sportsmen  and  liked  especially  the  pas- 
time of  fox  chasing.  Sevenleen-year-oid 
Jones  decided  to  remain  with  the  Taylor 
household.'  ancf  put  his  talents  to  work 
in  the  training  of  fox  hounds.

Dr.  Thomas  Milligan 


Dr.  Thomas  MiUigan's  life  has 
been  very  full,  and  definitely 
varied— not  at  all  like  the  im- 
pression received  from  his  calm, 
cool,  and  collected  manner. 
Bom  near  Clinton,  Tennesse  ,he 
later  moved  to  Athens  where 
he  went  to  Tennessee  Wesleyan 
and  tied  for  first  place  in  schol- 
arship. He  then  went  to  Lincoln 
Memorial  University  where  he 
graduated  as  salutatorian.  Smart, 
eh?  He  took  up  public  welfare 
work  after  college  and  did  news- 
paper writing  on  the  side — 
feature  articles  and  a  devotional 
series.  When  his  job  seemed 
uncertain  because  of  the  chang- 
ing politics  in  government,  he 
entered  the  Southern  Baptist 
Theological  Seminary  in  Louis- 
ville with  the  idea  of  becoming 
a  minister.  His  health  prevent- 
ed foreign  mission  work  which 
he  wanted,  so  he  decided  to 
major  in  psychology  and  teach. 
Dr.  Milligan  got  his  degree  in 
1948  and  Milligan  College  came 
next.  He  and  his  family  (two 
younguns)  live  about  three 
fourths  of  the  way  into  John- 
son City. 

Students  seem  to  enjoy  his 
classes,  especially  those  sessions 
that  deal  with  the  psychology 
of  tracking  down  a  mate.  ^  (No 
definite  reports  can  be  had  as 
to  whether  it  works  or  not). 

ganization  of  the  association  is 
planned.

At  7:00  p.  m.  in  the  auditor- 
ium Professor  E.  Gordon  Warner 
will  lead  the  choir  in  a  presen- 
tation of  both  religious  and 
secular  music.  In  addition  to 
the  choir  repertoire,  there  will 
be  included  eight  special  num- 
bers: two  vocal  solos  by  con- 
tralto Miss  Betty  Osterland.  four 
selections  by  the  Male  Quartet, 
and  two  piano  arrangements  by 
Miss  Janet  Catlett

SID  HATHAWAY 


Buffs  Battle  Pioneers  In  Cheek  Gym  Tomorrow  Night 

Milligan  Record  to  Date:  1 1  Wins,  4  Losses — 5  Gaines  Remain  on  Roster 

By  MICHAEL  KOSTKO  

With  the  State  dc-feat  still  fresh  on  every- 
body's mind,  this  reporter  will  try  for  the 
moment  to  recapture  some  of  the  other 
games  that  have  been  played  since  the 
"Stampede"  has  been  to  press. 

After  a  record  of  5  wins  and  4  losses  the 
"Buffs"  hit  a  winning  stride  that  brought 
them  way  above  the  500  per  cent- mark. 
Their  first  victim  was  the  L.  M.  U.  Rail- 
splitters  and  they  were  defeated  to  the  tune 
of  64-49.  In  this  game  Hathaway  and  Hyder 
with  21  and  20  points  respectively  led  the 
Buffs  to  victory.  For  the  losers  McCarter 
was  high  with  14  points.  Traveling  to  the 
Virginia  side  of  the  state,  the  Buffs  en- 
countered a  strong  and  fighting  Emory  and 
Henry  team  and  fell  before  them  to  the 
tune  of  80-71.  In  this  game  the  Wasps 
kept  up  a  terrific  pace  and  never  let  up. 
pulling  ahead  in  the  final  four  minutes 
of  play.  For  the  Buffs  Hathaway,  Hyder, 
and  Forbes  hit  the  double  figures  in  scoring, 
17,  17  and  15  points  respectively.  For  the 
winners  Humphreys  had  19.  Following  their 
defeat  at  the  hands  of  the  Wasps,  the  Milli- 
gan cagers  got  hot  and  ran  the  Governors 

of  Austin  Peay  to  defeat.    The 

final   score  read  the  Buffs    104    shot  defeated    the    Herd.    64    to    At  Happy  Valley 
and  the  Governors  74.     This  is    63.      The    Herd    is   looking    for-    gtudents  Assiqned  For

Signs  With  Johnson  City 
Cardinals 

While  the  basketball  season 
is  still  dominating  the  sports 
pages  and  the  favored  conver- 
sation, baseball  rumors  and 
contracts  are  also  being  dis- 
cussed, Milligan's  Sid  Hath- 
away has  signed  at  1950  con- 
tract with  the  local  Johnson  City 
Cardinals.  Last  year,  Sid  play- 
ted  with  the  Elizabethton  Locals, 
hitting  a  lusty  323,  for  an  en- 
viable average  in  any  league. 
No  salary  terms  are  known,  but 
the  smile  on  the  athlete's  face 
offers  an  indication.  The  sign- 
ing of  Sid  is  expected  to  bol- 
ster Red  Bird  hitting  consid- 
erably. 

Local  school  fans  and  area 
fans  will  observe  the  approach- 
ing season  with  eyes  focused  on 
Sid.  Manager  Schodle  of  the 
Red  Birds  comments:  "Hath- 
away's  speed,  hitting,  and  all- 
round  defensive  ability  should 
help  the  home  team  immensely." 


Spring  Football 
Practice 


Begins 


Coach  Edwin  Olds  has  an- 
nounced that  on  Monday,  Feb- 
ruarj*  20,  spring  football  will 
commence.  He  urges  that  all 
who  are  interested  in  playing 
on  the  Varsity  next  season 
should  turn  out.  The  first  two 
weeks  will  be  devoted  to  con- 
ditioning and  fundamentals. 
The  following  two  weeks  will 
be  used  to  select  the  positions 
which  the  candidates  desire  and 
in  running  plays  from  these 
positions.  The  final  twelve 
days  will  be  given  over  to  train- 
ing in  actual  body  contact,  with 
timing,  blocking  and  attending 
to  the  more  detailed  points  of 
the  game.  According  to  Mr. 
Olds,  there  are  several  posi- 
tions open,  due  mainly  to  this 
year's  graduating  class.

PRIVILEGE— NOT  ABUSE 

The  library  is  intended  and  provided  for  the  use  of  the  en- 
tire student  body  at  Milligan.  and  not  for  the  exceptional  few. 
It  has  been  noted  that  several  of  the  students  seem  to  feel  that 
they  belong  to  this  group  of  the  exceptional  few.  It  has  become 
a  common  occurrpnce  for  students  to  take  magazines  and  reserve 
books  without  proper  authority,  when  they  are  pressed  to  do 
an  assignment. 

The  library  is  open  on  an  average  of  fifty  hours  a  week, 
which  ought  to  allow  ample  time  for  getting  assignments,  es- 
pecially since  all  reserve  books  have  privileges.  It  is  impossible 
for  the  librarian  or  any  of  the  student  helpers  to  stand  at  the 
doors  and  carefully  check  all  books  as  the  individual  leaves  the 
library  rooms. 

The  librarian  kindly  requests  that  you — each  of  you — be  fair 
and  thoughtful.   Use  your  library  privilege;  do  not  abuse  it.

Professor  Antonio  Arjibay.  Principal  of  Presbyterian  Schools,

newspaper  Heraldo  Christiano,  in  praise  of  Milligan-  The  com-

"A  SuRuner  In  Milligan  College" 

Milligan  College,  in  the  mountains  of  Tennessee,  is  a  place  of 
incomparable  beauty.  It  is  the  ideal  location  to  hve  in  eternal 
contemplation  of  the  physical  beauties  of  this  world. 

And  Milhgan  College  was  the  home  of  seventeen  Cubans 
during  the  summer  of  1949.  There  we  forgot  the  hot  summer  of 
our  land  and  truly  we  hved  in  a  fresh  spring,  using  light  blankets 
at  night,  although  it  seems  incredible. 

Milligan  College  is  a  Christian  college,  its  faculty  hves  a 
sincere  Christianity  without  pretense,  practicing  the  truths  of 
the  Bible,  while  all  the  students  live  in  a  wholesome,  elevated 
Christian  comradeship.  Its  rules  are  governed  by  a  high  prin- 
ciple of  liberty  without  extremes  and  with  an  affectionate  dis- 
cipUne  which  infiltrates  in  such  a  way  that  each  one  does  the 
right  thing  in  a  discipUned  way  without  there  existing  the  least 
desire  not  to  do  it. 

Milligan  College  was  a  summer  home  for  seventeen  Cubans. 
We  learned  to  love  that  piece  of  foreign  land  as  our  own  and 
upon  saying  goodbye  we  felt  that  we  were  leaving  something 
which  in  reahty  belonged  to  us,  as  when  one  leaves  his  home. 
We  left  with  the  certainty  that  one  day  we  would  return  to  live 
in  that  affectionate  land  for  which  reason  we  only  said,  "Until 
we  meet  again." 

Milligan  College  is  the  ideal  place  to  relax  physically  and  to 
elevate  oneself"  spiritually.  The  things  of  the  spirit  came  to  us 
with  the  atmosphere  and  we  felt  nearer  the  Creator,  "When  I 
contemplate  the  heavens  that  you  created  .  .  ." 

Several  things  impressed  us  at  Milligan  College,  among  them 
the  vesper  services  held  in  the  open  air  each  week. 

We  are  familiar  with  what  inspirational  vesper  services  are, 
and  for  that  reason  we  dare  to  mention  those  of  Milligan.  The 
talks  of  Chaplain  Elmer  Lewis,  who  was  a  chaplain  in  Europe 
during  the  past  war,  and  those  of  Dr.  York,  remain  engraved  in 
the  minds  and  hearts  of  all  of  us  who  had  the  privilege  of  listen- 
ing to  them.  We  Cubans  lifted  our  religious  songs  toward  our 
God;  we  sang  in  our  language,  and  at  the  same  time  they  sang 
the  same  hymns,  directed  to  the  same  God.  but  in  a  different 
language.  The  vesper  services  at  Milligan  are  an  unforgettable 
experience  for  the  group  of  Cubans  who  lived  in  that  place  .during 
the  summer  of  1949.

Bob  Brown  Entered  Radio 
'By  Accident'  At  Age  Of  14 

Milligan  Student  Is  Versatile  Maestro  at  the  Microphone 

True  to  the  earliest  experiences  of  many  a  radio  announcer, 
Robert  Brown,  Milligan  freshman,  and  son  of  English  professor 
Mrs.  Alma  Brown,  happened  into  the  radio  broadcasting  field 
by  downright  accident.  The  story  of  his  fascinating  job  in  com- 
munications begins  back  in  Knoxville.  Tennessee,  where  Bob's 
father,  Alva  Ross  Brown,  had  been  president  of  Johnson  Bible 
College.  At  the  age  of  fourteen  the  youngster  became  captivated 
by  what  to  him  was  the  glamor  of  the  radio  game.  He'd  skip 
off  from  school  and  pass  many  hours  observing  and  absorbing 
the  routine  workings  of  radio  station  WBIR,  Knoxville. 
Played  Part  On  Children's  Program 

In  those  days'  Irene  Hodges,  well-known  speech  instructor  in 
Knoxville,  conducted  a  children's  program  every  Saturday  morn- 
ing on  the  local  WBIR.  Once  on  one  of  such  programs  Irene  was 
desperately  in  need  of  someone  to  play  a  masculine  part,  so 
young  Brown,  caught  loitering  around  the  station,  was  thrust 
on  the  job.  His  voice,  developed  far  beyond  his  age,  became  an 
asset  to  the  regular  show,  and  lent  support  to  the  popular  pro- 
gram for  approximately  three  months  thereafter. 
Met  An  Emergency 

Then  one  morning  the  regular  staff  announcer  failed  toshow 
up  for  duty  because  of  illness.  As  the  programming  had  to  pro- 
ceed, the  schoolboy  here  met  his  great  opportunity.  Backing  up 
the  microphone  with  a  somewhat  unsteady  and  uncertain  voice, 
as  Bob  relates,  he  filled  in  for  three  hours  on  the  station's  reg- 
ularly scheduled  programs.  In  reference  to  this  memorable  inci- 
dent, the  MiUigan  student  recalls  "that  those  three  hours  seemed 
like  three  days."  A  fifteen-minute  newscast  seemed  like  an 
eternity,  he  vividly  remembers. 

Just  after  entering  Knox  High  School,  the  manager  of  WBIR 
recommended  Bob  for  a  job  on  the  newly-opened  Knoxville  out- 
let, WIBK.  The  boy's  duties  as  staff  announcer  extended  through 
his  high  school  days.  WorTt  was  at  odd  times  and  after  classes. 
Upon  graduating  from  Knox  High  one  summer  of  loafing  was 
tacked  onto  Bob's  career.  ; 

In  the  fall  of  1948  he  matriculated  at  the  University  of  Ten- 
nessee, where  his  mother  was  then  teaching  in  the  English  de- 
partment. The  university  freshman  soon  formed  a  friendship  with 
Ken  Wright,  director  of  the  Radio  Workshop  on^The  Hill.  Wright 
sent  his  student  to  WROL,  one  of  Knoxville's  larger  stations. 
There  he  performed  the  routine  duties  of  staff  announcer  and  soon 
became  known  over  the  Appalachian  listening  area  for  his  disc 
jockey  programs  of  "Saturday  Showdown"  and  the  nightly  "Con- 
cert Hall"  over  WROL's  frequency  modulation  transmitter. 
On  Network  For  Historic  Program 

On  March  19,  1949  the  eyes  of  the  world  were  focused  on  Oak 
Ridge.  Tennessee,  "The  Atomic  City."  On  that  day  this  center  of 
the  great  government  research  project  was  officially  declared 
an  open  city,  when  a  tape  across  the  main  gate  was  broken  by 
atomic  energy.  At  this  momentous  ceremony  high  officials  and 
dignitaries  took  part  on  the  program.  Major  radio  networks  car- 
ried the  description  of  this  event  coast-to-coast  and  to  the  world. 

Bobby  Brown,  again  on  an  emergency  assignment  because  an 
announcer  was  lacking,  went  to  work  for  the  special  events  de- 
partment of  WIBK.  This  station  kept  a  continuous  line  avail- 
able. But  before  the  marathon  pjirade  in  Oak  Ridge  got  under 
way.  Bob  went  on  the  air  interv-iewing  celebrities  at  the  Andrew 
Johnson  Hotel  in  Knoxville.  Cecil  B.  DeMille,  Adolph  Menjou. 
Marie  McDonald,  Adele  Jergens,  Rod  Cameron,  Lee  Bowman; 
"Queen  for  a  Day's"  Jack  Bailey,  Tennessee  Governor  Gordon 
Browning,  and  Vice  President  Alben  Barkley  were  among  those 
who  took  part  in  the  Ridge  City  ceremony. 

On  the  lengthy  and  giant  parade.  Bob  fed  thirty-five  minutes 
of  color  description  over  the  Mutual  Broadcasting  System. 
Meets  Many  People 

The  nineteen-year-old  Milligan  student  and  now  announcer 
for  WBEJ,  Elizabethton.  is  in  a  job  which  affords  opportunity  to 
meet  many  people,  some  of  whom  are  notables  in  the  entertain- 
ment world.  Guy  Lombardo,  Sammy  Kaye,  T.  Dorsey,  Les 
Brown  arc  some  of  the  outstanding  band  leaders,  and  vocalist 
Doris  Day,  whom  he  has  met  and  assisted  in  putting  their  pro- 
grams on  the  air.  Bob  recalls  the  memorable  evening  when 
Clark  Gable  came  to  Knoxville.  stopped  by  the  radio  studios  "for 
a  long  evening  visit  of  chatting  and  coffee  drinking." 
Comes  To  Milligan 

In  September,  1949,  Mrs.  Alma  Brown  came  to  Milligan  to 
teach  in  the  English  Department.  Her  son  left  WROL,  and  pass- 
ing up  an  offer  for  work  on  a  Lenoir  City  station,  then  under 
construction,  came  to  Milligan. 

January  24  of  this  year  Bobby  joined  the  staff  of  Elizabeth- 
ton's  WBEJ.  whore  he  has  gained  popularity  through  "Kertin 
Kapers."  and  Sunday  night  "Concert  Hall."

A  random  excursion  through 
the  cemetery  behind  Cheek  Ac- 
tivity Building  will  provide  as 
interesting  a  study  as  a  quest 
through  a  museum  or  art  giil- 
lery.  Mark  Twain  once  cin- 
ceiyed  the  idea  that  it  is  \\-\'- 
;ize  of  a  thing  that  tells  ' 
story,  but  slightly  aside  iiirt. 
the  famed  literarian's  view,  it 
would  seem  that  here  it  is  th<f 
pattern  rather  than  the  size 
that  conveys  the  story.  Even 
though  there  is  a  significant 
contrast  between  the  sizes  of 
markers  in  the  cemetery  behind 
Cheek,  the  most  noticeable  thing 
is  the  difference  in  make-up. 
Alongside  the  impressive  pol- 
ished marble  or  granite  mass 
are  the  humble  little  blocks  and 
slabs  of  stone  in  conservative 
style. 

People  have  long  been  aware 
of  the  seemingly  importance  of 
design,  even  when  it  comes  to 
thmgs  like  life,  death,  and  im- 
mortality. Those  who  direct 
study  to  the  several  designs  of 
monuments  find  that  even  the 
most  detailed  parts  of  the  sculp- 
tor's work  may  relate  a  story 
of  dedication  and  tribute. 
Symbolism  Is  Varied 

On  some  of  the  grave  markers 
out  in  the  pltrt  behind  the  Mil- 
ligan print  shop  is  to  be  found 
a  wide  variety  of  symbolism. 
There  are  first  to  be  noticed 
types  of  crosses,  variations  of 
the  Latin  design  of  two  arms. 
One  has  a  circle  at  the  inter- 
section of  the  arms.  This  is  an 
indication  of  immortality,  ac- 
cording to  religious  tradition. 
The  three-tiered  bases  of  these 
monuments  speak  of  the  three 
persons  of  the  Trinity.  Of  com- 
mon design  in  the  acanthus  leaf, 
more  commonly  known  as  the 
motif  of  the  capital  for  the 
Greek  Corinthian  column.  This 
embeUishment  of  the  stone- 
cutter, according  to  unwritten 
law.  is  representative  of  a 
heavenly  garden. 

Materials  Differ 

Gray  granite,  white  marble, 
and  the  characteristic  Tennessee 
pink  marble,  together  with  low- 
ly field  and  soapstone  comprise 
the  list  of  materials  which  have 
gone  into  the  making  of  these 
markers.  There  is  one  in  Ver- 
mont white  marble,  which  re- 
sponds well  to  the  intricate 
carving,  to  bear  the  delicate 
likeness  of  regal  lilies  and  the 
Rose  of  Sharon.  The  lily  is  a 
suggestion  of  purity,  while  the 
rose  is  befitting  the  quality  of 
perfect  love.  The  three  heart- 
shaped  leaflets  of  the  shamrock 
is  added  to  the  list  of  designs. 
This  flower,  adopted  by  St. 
Patrick,  illustrates  the  doctrine 
of  the  Trinity.  And  there  is  the 
every-linging  ivy  vine  speak? 
ing  of  the  virture  of  faithfulness. 

A  lone  gravestone  is  carved 
in  the  shape  of  an  arch,  in- 
dicative of  triumph  over  death. 
The  dove  in  flight  heralds  peace 
in  the  world  of  no  strive  nor 
setting  sun.  Of  special  interest 
are  three  works  in  massive 
granite.  One  is  partially  drap- 
ped  with  a  delicately-chiseled 
curtain,  indicating  that  in  this 
present  life  man  knows  only  in 
part,  but  that  in  the  future  the 
riddles  of  life  will  be  unravel- 
ed. On  the  next  one  is  to  be 
seen  an  opened  Book  of  Books. 
From  the  Living  Oracles  has 
been    torn    asunder    the    veil.

High  School  Seniors 
Get  Pre-CoUege  Foot- 
ball Training  Here 

Seven  seniors  from  Monlerc-> 
High  School,  Monterey,  Tennes- 
see, are  spending  a  few  days  in 
football  practice,  in  prospect  of 
their  joining  the  Buffalo  Herd 
next  September. 

The  young  athletes  are  Joe 
Tudor,  190  pounds,  quarterback; 
Dolan  Tudor,  190,  end;  Harvey 
Tudor,  175,  guard;  Van  Nickens, 
190,  center;  Buford  Sutton,  205, 
guard;  Richard  Milligan,  205, 
guard;  and  Gene  Peters,  160, 
quarterback.  All  have  played 
four  years  high  school  football. 

Bill  Stanfield,  Milligan  grad- 
uate of  last  year,  is  coach  at 
Monterey  High  School. 


which  at  one  time  covered  the 
light  of  truth.  On  a  rugged 
shaft  of  granite  is  a  cfTisled  en- 
trance with  two  gates  which 
swing  inward.  Beyond  these 
gates  thrown  ajar  is  planted  an 
anchor,  telling  of  the  hope  of 
the  human  soul  inside  the  har- 
bor of  the  Haven  of  Rest. 

Exploring  further  among  the 
resting  places,  one  can  locate  a 
marker  bearing  a  hand  with 
forefinger  upturned  —  heaven-" 
ward. 
Pioneer    Mother    Rests    Here 

Over  in  the  corner  of  the 
graveplot  leans  a  tottering  sheet 
of  granite,  lichen-covered  and 
dimmed  by  the  deceitful  hand 
of  time.     Inscription:  1839-1912. 

After  the  impediment  to  the 
eye  has  been  brushed  way.  the 
epitaph  proves  appropriate  to 
a  pioneer  mother  whose  re- 
mains have  mingled  with  the 
dust: 

She  opened  her  mouth  and 

judged 
Righteously 

And    plead    the    cause    of 
The  poor  and  needy. 

Lost  In  Time — Found  In 
Eternity 

But  there  are  also  sepulchers 
behind  Cheek  Hall  whose  mark- 
ers tell  interesting  stories  by  a 
strange  symbolism.  There  are 
approximately  twenty-four 
graves  whose  identifications  are 
lost.  .No  magic  of  the  graphic 
art  by  a  sculptor's  chisel  and 
mallet  enchances  the  monu- 
ments to  these  tombs.  If  in 
the  case  of  a  rough  fieldstone 
or  a  limestone  boulder — or  even 
nothing  at  all,  to  the  casual 
observer  there  is  no  story  of 
hope  or  reverence —  only  neg- 
lect and  oblivion.  Here  memory 
lends  a  hand.  Such  a  one  is 
the  final  resting  place  of  Jesse 
C.  Houck,  promising  young  sen- 
ior. Class  of  1890.  whose  dreams 
of  building  a  great  college  for 
his  mountaineer  people  in 
North  Carolina  ended  in  de- 
feat when  the  student  fell  be- 
fore the  typhoid  scourge.  He 
was  buried  near  his  Alma  Mater 
without  any  of  his  relatives'  at- 
tending the  funeral,  and  none 
of  them  have  ever  known  the 
location  of  the  grave. 

And  there  is  the  itinerant 
preacher,  who,  roaring  like  the 
prophet  Amos  out  of  Tekon. 
warned  the  people  of  God's  im- 
pending   vengeance    upon    tlie 


misbehavin'. 

Youngest    Student    In    Milligan 
History  Lies    Here 

A  beautiful  account  behind 
one  of  these  unmarked  but  re- 
membered graves  is  recorded 
in  the  memoirs  of  Founder- 
President  Josephus  Hopwood. 
Near  the  center  of  the  cemetery 
rearward  of  Cheek  Hall  is  a 
short,  almost  unnoticed 
mound,  which  some  thoughful 
neighbor  must  have  sometime 
recurited  with  earth.  Such  is 
the  place  of  rest  for  little  Jean 
Kinney,  whose  mother  brought 
the  eight-year-old  child  here 
from  Minnesota.  Even  though 
Jean  was  a  precocious  child. 
her  mother  was  disappointed 
that  Milligan  had  no  depart- 
ment for  a  student  of  such 
tender  age.  The  little  girl  show- 
ed unusual  aptitude  in  music 
and  was  allowed  to  audit  some 
preparatory  classes  for  her  own 
interest  and  profit.  The  moth- 
er, who  was  also  in  school  here, 
was  soon  surprised  to  learn  that 
Jean  took  high  rank  in  her 
classes  and  held  that  rank 
month  after  month  throughout 
the  year. 

But  at  commencement  time 
of  that  year,  the  little  girl  be- 
came violently  ill  with  dip- 
theria,  could  not  play  her  sel- 
ections on  the  program.  In  a 
short  time  the  child  was  taken 
by  death. 

"Above  her  httle  home,"  wrote 
Josephus  Hopwood.  "the  sweet- 
est songsbirds  made  music  all 
the  day  long,  and  close  by  are 
the  tall  maples  whose  waving 
shadows  play  over  the  grass 
where  Jean  loved  to  romp  .  .  , 
No  sweeter  vision  of  child  life 
ever  came  to  the  school  than 
that  which  vanished  from  our 
view  when  little  Jean  Kinney 
awoke  from  a  beautiful  earthly 
dream  into  the  radiance  of  a 
heavenly    morning."

To  Cement  The  Bonds  Of  Pan-American  Friendahips — 

IN  SUMMER  OF  1949  MILLIGAN  REGIS- 
TEFIED  LARGEST  NUMBER  OF  FOREIGN 
STUDENTS  IN  SCHOOL'S  HISTORY 

Last  June  when  Antonio  Arjibay  assumed  duties  as  teacher 
of  Spanish  for  summer  classes  here,  he  brought  along  his  family 
and  several  friends  from  the  island  republic  of  Cuba.  These  two 
photographs  show  the  professor  and  family  and  most  of  the  stu- 
dents who  were  enrolled  here  last  summer  for  a  special  course 
m  English  under  Miss  Marie  Smith. 

The  professor  from  the  West  Indies  islands  was  secured  to 
teach  the  special  courses  in  Spanish  in  an  intensive  endeavor  to 
offer  full  language  advantages  to  students  attending  the  summer 
session. 

The  trip  to  East  Tennessee  represented  the  first  visit  to  the 
United  States  for  the  professor's  family  and  most  of  the  students, 
although  Mr.  Arjibay  had  been  to  this  country  several  times 
before. 

Two  of  the  students  were  actually  teachers  in  different  schools 
back  home.  One  of  the  younger  boys  even  came  to  the  States 
with  the  purpose  of  attending  a  "Boys'  camp  in  North  Carolina" 
...  for  several  weeks.  The  trouble  was,  after  he  got  here  it 
turned  out  to  be  a  girls'  camp! 

All  the  Cubans  took  well  to  the  American  way,  so  much  in 
fact  that  some  of  the  visiting  students  plan  to  return  to  MiUigan 
this  summer,  along  with  Professor  Arjibay. 

While  here  last  summer  the  people  from  Cuba  presented  an 
assembly  program  which  was  broadcast  over  WJHL.  In  this 
special  radio  appearance  several  of  the  islanders  were  interviewed, 
then  they  all  sang  songs  native  to  Cuba,  and  ended  with  their 
national  hymn.

Wherever  its  name  has  gone.  Milligan  College  has  become 
renowned  for  the  incomparable  natural  beauty  of  her  campus. 
The  majestic  oak,  the  stately  maple,  the  pointed  pine;  dogwood, 
redbud.  weeping  willows,  the  Japanese  Cherries,  all,  have  long 
ago  earned  their  place  in  the  proud  heritage  of  this  educational 
institution.  The  evergreen  shrubs,  pink  azaleas,  the  wild  and  cul- 
tivated flowers,  are  also  a  lordly  part  of  the  familiar  scene. 

We  are  fortunate  indeed  in  having  an  administration  which 
takes  pride  in  Ihe  attractiveness  of  the  campus,  and  provides  a 
maintenance^  crew  for  the  mowing  of  the  grass,  the  grooming  of 
the  trees  andshrubs  and  the  care  of  the  flowers.  This  week  the 
workmen  erected  signs  asking  thou ghtfuln ess  in  connection  with 
making  paths  across  the  grass. 

It  is  the  concern  of  each  member  of  the  Milligan  family  to 
cooperate  in  maintaining  the  charm  of  the  natural  surroundings 
on  the  school  property.  Especially  is  it  important  to  refrain 
from  making  paths  across  the  grass,  pulling  or  breaking  flowers, 
or  damaging  the  trees  and  shrubs.  Let's  help  make  Milhgan 
better  by  keeping  her  campus  beautiful.  Please.

Life  indeed  was  full  for  these 
adventurers,  never- the-less  in 
1896  Dr.  Hopwood  became  the 
outstanding  figure  in  the  Pro- 
bition  movement  in  the  state 
of  Termessee.  an  account  of 
which  is  given  later  in  this  dis- 
sertation. 

Since  the  educational  advan- 
lure  in  Grundy,  Virginia  Dr. 
and  Mrs.  Hopwood  have  lived 
in  their  home  on  the  top  of  a 
cedar-covered  hill  overlooking 
their  first  educational  creation, 
Milligan  College.  "A  hght  set 
on  a  hill  cannot  be  hid"  and  its 
gleams  penterate  not  only  the 
institution  of  learning  on  the 
banks  of  the  Buffalo,  but  the 
wormth  of  the  glow  is  felt  in 
a  thousand  or  tens  of  thousands 
of  hearts  throughout  the  nation. 

After  climbing  the  mountain 
of  life  they  have  gained  the 
heights  and  are  basking  in  the 
sunlight  of  colse  communion 
with  God  the  Father.  Was  it 
not  on  the  mountain  top  that  the 
great  tables  of  stone  were  given 
by  God  to  humanity?  Did  not 
Jesus  the  Christ  often  choose 
the  mountains  for  prayer? 

"Great  things  are  done  when 
men  and  mountains  meet; 

These  are  not  done  by  jostling 
in  the  street." 

Dr.  Hopwood's  great  word 
was  "vision."  "No  man  has  ever 
become  great  without  an  ideal, 
and  the  faculty  which  gives 
birth  to  ideals  is  vision.  Vision 
is  the  faculty  which  enables 
man  to  realize  eternity.  The 
ordinary  conceptions  of  the 
mind  caimot  embrace  infinity 
or  God.  Vision  alone  enables 
man  to  transcend  the  fetters  of 
time  and  space,  to  see  the  eter- 
nal through  the  temporal,  the 
spiritual  beneath  the  physical, 
the  soul  underlying  all.  It  is 
vision  which  pentrates  through 
all  seeming,  through  the  wild 
whirlwind  and  storm  which  are 
part  of  every  live  and  everj* 
human  soul,  to  the  eternal  peace 
existing  at  the  heart  of  endless 
agitation.' " 

Dr.  Hopwood  wa.s  a  dreamer 
of  dreams,  and  a  see-er  of 
visions.  He  heard  voices  in  the 
air  constantly  beckoning  him 
and  the  world  on  to  a  better 
life.  He  was  a  visionary  in  the 
best  sense  of  that  word.  Un- 
doubtedly a  more  suitable  wife 
could  not  have  been  found  for 
Dr.  Hopwood  than  his  brilliant 
tactful,  and  resourceful  life 
companion.  The  life  of  neither 
without  the  other  could  be  com- 
plete. They  supplement  and 
complement  each  other.  "With 
them  there  has  been  no  differ- 
;nce  between  precept  and  ex- 
imple."  The  couple  all  through 
iieir  life  have  possessed  the 
spirit  of  faith  and  trust  in  God 
that  makes  people  happy  in 
life,  resigned  in  death  and  ready

THE  TELEGRAM 

By   William   J.  DeLaughter 

The  bicycle  stops  in  front  of 
our  house 

And  everything  is  as  still  as  a 
mouse. 

For  the  uniform  betrays  his  po- 
sition 

As  a  messenger  according  to 
tradition. 

Whistling  a  tune  of  popular 
trend 

He  comes  up  the  walk  as  we 
all  bend 

Our  necks  to  be  sure  and  see 

What  the  telegram  might  hap- 
pen to  be. 

The  door  bell  brings  us  to  our 

feet 
Then  slowly  we  sit  back  down 

in  our  seat 
As  father  gravely  opens  the 

door 
And  asks  just  who  the  message 

is  for. 

Before    he    answers,    ray    mind 

runs  wild — 
Does  Aunt  Gloria  have  another 

child? 
Or  is  grandfather  sick  in  bed? 
Or  is  Uncle  Willie  the  one  that's 

dead? 

0  why  does  he  not  blurt  out 
the  name? 

Why  must  he  keep  us  all  wait- 
ing in  pain? 

Does  he  have  to  look  from  one 
to  another 

And  finally  stop  to  gaze  at 
Mother? 

Slowly  he  pushes  his  hand  out 

to   her, 
No   one   in   the   rooin   dares  to 

stir. 
Sweat   comes  out  on  the  brow 

of  Mom's  head — 
What  if  her  son — ray  brother — 

is  dead! 

And   tears  creep  into  my   eyes 

and  drop 
On  my  hand  before  I  can  stop, 

1  turn  my  face  away  so  none 
can  see — 

O  what  will  it  be'.  O  what  will 
it  be! 

But  Mother's  face  breaks  into  a 

smile 
And  she  looks  at  Dad,  who  ail 

the  while 
Has  been  standing  nonchalantly 

by 
Watching,  as  the  rest  of  us  cry. 

For  Dad  sent  the  message  to 
Mom.  you  see 

And  what  else  could  that  mes- 
sage be 

But  HAPPY  BIRTHDAY  TO 
MY   LOVING   WIFE, 

THE  JOY.  THE  HAPPINESS 
OF  ALL  MY  LIFE!

THE  SAME  OLD 
TRYSTING  PLACES 

"Buffalo  Creek  has  been  idle 
too  long;  let's  put  it  to  work." 
So  Mrs.  Derthick  thought,  and 
she  did.  A  dam  was  built  to 
harness  the  energy,  and  then  a 
wheel  half-hidden  by  overhang- 
ing bows  and  vines  was  install- 
ed. The  wheel  forces  water 
through  pipes  supplying  a  foun- 
tain in  front  of  the  girls'  dor- 
mitory, and  in  another  direction 
to  a  lilv  pond  at  the  foot  of  the 
hilL 

Come  with  me,  and  let  us 
walk  down  the  Presidential 
Steps.  Now  we  shall  rest  a 
moment  in  a  graceful  pergola 
and  then  follow  a  winding  trail 
through  the  beds  of  flowers. 
Soon  we  shall  come  to  scats 
made  of  stone.  But  where  arc 
the  nymphs?  This  is  their  home 
but  they  are  shy  today.  What 
a  transformation!  How  lovely! 
The  entire  campus  seems  to  be 
the  fulfillment  of  an  artist's 
dream.  But  remember,  young 
people,  'tis  all  for  you  .  .  .  'tis 
all  for  you.  (Reprinted  from  the 
May,    1929  Milligan  Alumnus). 


Seen  And  Heard 
Along  The  Way 

Roger  Myron  elites  has  fig- 
ured out  a  system  whereby  cuts 
from  classes  may  be  accrued 
over  a  period  of  the  four-year 
college  career.  If  no  cuts  are 
indulged  in,  says  Roger,  the 
stacked  -  up  privileges  would 
cover  almost  half  of  a  semester. 
He  suggests  that  this  time  could 
be  used  for  the  last  nine  weeks 
of  the  senior  year — in  absentia. 
As  this  proposal  was  noised 
abroad  over  coffee  in  the  cafe- 
teria, nods  of  approval  were 
seen  to  come  from  all  who  were 
present 

Genial  S.  K.  Widner,  student, 
philosopher,  keen  observer  of 
human  nature,  loiters  between 
classes,  at  the  student  union  or 
at  the  dining  hall  to  leave  his 
daily  contribution  of  wit.  Here 
are  some  more  gleanings: 

The  government  has  put  a 
control  on  just  about  everything 
except  the  tongues  of  politi- 
cians. 

A  little  knowledge  has  taken 
more  lives  than  ignorance. 

Don't  part  with  your  ^  good 
manners;  they  may  come  into 
fashion  again  sometime. 

Most  wars  have  been  declared 
by  men  past  the  fighting  age. 

An  example  of  deep  reason- 
ing: "I  think  so  because  I  think 
so." 

Put  your  smiles  upon  the 
open  market  now  while  a  smile 
is  worth  a  thousand  frov/ns. 

Beauty  never  wears  thin  or 
faded  if  it  is  polished  by  intel-

the  "Gest"  published  around 
the  year  1500. 

According  to  popular  account 
Robin  Hood  inhabited,  with  his 
followers,  Sherwood  Forest  in 
Nottinghamshire,  and  the  Wood- 
lands of  Bamsdale,  adjoining 
West  Riding  of  Yorkshire.  This 
typical  hero  was  famed  afar  for 
his  skill  with  the  long  bow  and 
the  quarter  staff.  He  and  his 
lieutenants  hunted  deer,  levied 
toll  of  the  rich  and  distributed 
it  among  the  poor,  all  the  time 
taking  care  to  never  harm  wom- 
en and  children.  Robin  Hood 
was  known  for  his  lavish  and

against  a  backdrop  of  stately 
maples  and  towering  pine  on 
the  crest  of  the  campus  hill. 
Royal  Pair  Will  Reign 

High  on  the  agenda  of  the  an- 
nual May  Day  production  will 
be  the  coronation  of  the  King 
and  Queen.  The  selection  of  the 
campus  royalties  was  made  two 
months  ago  when  the  students 
met  in  called  assemblies  of  the 
four  classes,  nominated  the  can- 
didates, and  in  a  general  as- 
sembly chose  by  secret  ballot 
the  couple  to  reign.  The  names 
of  the  king  and  queen  have  been 
kept  a  mystery  since  the  elec- 
tion and  revelation  of  the  hon- 
ored two  will  be  made  May  1, 
at  a  specially  arranged  party 
in  Cheek  Activity  Building, 
8:00  p.m.  At  this  function  each 
of  the  active  student  organiza- 
tions will  contribute  to  a  pro- 
gram of  entertainment.  When 
the  King  and  Queen  seat  them- 
selves on  the  improvised 
"throne"  a  preview  of  the  May 
festival  will  be  given.

A  commission  of  22  is  col- 
laborating with  the  directors  in 
promoting  the  traditional  exer- 
cises May  13. 

The  May  festival  has  always 
received  special  emphasis  at 
Milligan.  In  1948  history  was 
made  when  for  the  first  time 
in  the  annals  of  May  Day  at 
Milligan,  the  King  and  Queen 
who  reigned  were  husband  and 
wife.  That  year  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Duard  Belmont  Walker  were 
the    reigning   royalties. 

Aacording  to  plans  of  the 
directors,  the  program  this  May 
promises  one  of  the  most  elab- 
orate and  colorful  productions 
in  the  past  several  years.

District  Judge,  and  member  of 
the  board  of  trustees  of  Milli- 
gan College. 

At  the  Fox  Hunters  Associa- 
tion meeting,  a  horn  blowing 
contest  was  held.  Andrew  Jack- 
son (Crook)  Jones  took  second

THE    STAMPEDE 


PAGE  THREE 


Josephus  Hopwood  . . . 

"Portals  Of 
Eternal  Youth" 

Stampede  Concludes 
Hopwood    Chronicle 

This  edition  of  the  student 
newspaper  terminates  the  bio- 
graphical sketch  of  Josephus 
Hopwood.  by  Lucille  Lumsden, 
of  the  Class  of  1929.  This  epic 
account  of  the  "Grand  Old  Man 
of  the  Mountains—"  College 
founder  and  president,  and 
preacher  of  the  gospel,  has  been 
published  in  the  last  five  issues 
of  The  Stampede.  This  sixth  in- 
stallment brings  to  a  close  the 
life  narration  of  Milligan's 
founder,  written  by  the  student 
of  1929  and  presented  in  par- 
tial fulfillment  of  the  require- 
ments for  a  bachelor  of  arts  de- 
gree in  English. 

After  the  launching  of  the 
Grundy  school.  Dr.  and  Mrs. 
Hopwood  returned  to  their  home 
on  the  hill  overlooking  the  cam- 
pus of  MiUigan  CoUege.  One 
climbing  this  hill,  long  the  wind- 
ing path  which  js  called"  the 
path  to  peace,''  may  find  at  the 
top  this'  grand  old  couple,  liv- 
ing in  joy  and  peace  and  close 
companionship  with  the  One  in 
whose  service  they  have  spent 
their  lives.  Every  Sunday  morn- 
ing finds  them  in  the  little  his- 
toric church  of  Milligan,  wor- 
shipping and  partaking  of  the 
Lord's  supper. 

Their  little  brick  home,  a  gift 
of  love  and  appreciation  of  the 
old. students  of  Milligan  College, 
is  a  place  in  which  may  always 
be  found,  comfort,  sympathy, 
inspiration— love.  As  a  man 
who  had  run  in  for  a  short  visit 
after  the  strain  of  his  life  in 
business,  said  "I  feel  like  a  good 
Moslem  who  has  just  visited 
Mecca."  God  has  spared  the 
lives  of  these  two  people  for 
many  years,  and  each  year  has 
been  an  added  blessing  to  the 
world.  This  month,  April.  Dr. 
Hopwood  clebrated  his  86lh 
birthday,  and  as  Mrs.  Hopwood 
remarked,  with  tears  in  her 
eyes,  "He  has  almost  reached  the 
spring  of  eternal  youth." 

This  dissertation  portrays  in 
no  adequate  manner  the  life  and 
work  of  Dr.  and  Mrs.  Hopwood, 
but  it  is  out  of  personal  appre- 
ciation and  admiration,  consci- 
ous of  my  incapability,  that  I 
write.  But  anyone  who  ha.s  ever 
known  the  Hopwoods  will  agree, 
that  just  as  they  are  living  now 
on  the  summit  of  this  cedar- 
covered  hill  in  view  as  I  write, 
so  have  they  always  lived  at 
a  spiritual  height  above  the 
common  folk,  and  yet  among 
them.  If  man  reflects  God,  our 
conception  of  Him  is  materially 
vitahzed  by  Dr.  Hopwood  and 
his  wife. 

"Oh.  we  have  had  a  royal 
life,"  said  Mrs.  Hopwood  re- 
cently, and  this  life  has  added 
a  touch  of  rayally  to  countless 
others, 

"Even  as  a  broken  mirrior, 
which  the  glass 

In  every  fragment  multiplies; 
and  makes 

A  thousand  images  of  one  that 
was, 

The  same,  and  still  the  more, 
the  more  it  breaks." 


PUERTO  RICANS  HAVE  BROUGHT  "SOUTH  OF 
THE  BORDER"  TO  MILLIGAN  SINCE  1939 

For  more  than  ten  years,  natives  of  Puerto  Rico  have  been 
enrolled  at  MiHigan.  During  this  time  fourteen  girls  and  one 
boy  have  come  here  to  study.  Of  this  number  four  girls  have 
married  American  boys,  whom  they  met  while  at  Milligan.  and 
some  have  returned  to  teach  in  their  native  island.  With  the 
exception  of  one,  all  these  students  have  been  from  San  Sebastian.

PERSONALITIES    TO    MILLIGAN    STAGE 

Miss  Ivor  Jones,  chairman  of  '

mittee for  the  coming  school 
year,  has  announced  that  five 
appearances  of  w.cll-known  mu- 
sicians, speakers,  and  drama- 
tists will  compose  the  schedule

open  here  Uctober  18.  when  the 
"Traveling  Ackermans"  of  Wil-

The  common  cold  and  sore 
throat  took  first  place  on  the 
roster  of  ailments  at  Milligan 
this  year,  reports  school  Nurse 
Shirley  Long.  The  statistics  on 
the  infirmary  books  show  that 
during  both  semesters  a  total  of 
306  patients  came  seeking 
treatment  for  sniffles  and  kin- 
dred maladies — almost  half  the 
summed-up  number  of  physical 
complaints,  which  mounted  to 
over  700. 

Close  to  the  top  of  the  list 
were  109  cases  of  nausea  and 
diarrhea,  and  third  down  was 
influenza,  with  81  victims  turn- 
ing up  for  remedial  measures. 

Most  disorders  were  of  a 
negligible  nature.  However,  a 
few  took  on  more  serious  pro- 
portions in  the  reported  cases 
of  three  major  operations,  per- 
formed in  local  hospitals.  Three 
more  operations  were  marked 
up  as  minor. 

Other  Ailments  Catalogued 

Mrs.  Long  chalks  up  eighteen 
other  bodily  disturbances,   with 


the  number  of  patients  seeking 
medical  care  for  each:  Oral  ul-

Health  Pecautions 
Urged  In  Control, 
Treatment  Of   Polb 

The  National  Foundation  for 
Infantile  Paralysis,  noting  that 
poho  is  striking  an  increasing 
number  of  teen-agers  and  young 
adults,  has  issued  a  message 
callmg  for  observance  of  simple 
health  precautions  by  college 
students  during  the  hot  polio 
months  just  ahead. 

Dr.  Hart  E.  Van  Riper,  med- 
ical director  of  the  National 
Foundation,  Baid  that  a  spot 
survey  of  the  1948  polio  epi- 
demic showed  25  percent  of  the 
patients  were  over  15  years  of 
age.  Of  this  total,  18  percent 
were  over  20  years.  Local  chap- 
ters have  assisted  hundreds  of 
college-age  polio  patients  dur- 
ing the  past  year. 

•'Only  3.7  percent  of  the  pa- 
tients were  over  15  years  of  age 
in  1916,  he  said.  "This  figure 
rose  to  seven  percent  in  1931 
and  15  percent  in  1944." 

The  National  Foundation  list- 
ed five  basic  precautions  for 
the  May-to-Deceraber  epidemic 
danger  season.  Dr.  Van  Riper 
said  they  are  based  on  the 
March  of  Dimes  agency's  exten- 
sive research  program  and  the 
findings  of  health  departments, 
physicians  and  hospital  officials. 
These  are  the  recommended 
precautions: 

Keep  children  with  their  own 
friends — Keep  them  away  from 
persons  they  have  not  been 
with  right  along,  especially  in 
close,  daily  living.  Dr.  Van 
Riper  said  many  persons  have 
a  polio  infection  without  show- 
ing any  signs  of  sickness,  yet 
may  pass  it  on  to  others. 

Try  not  to  get  over-tired— if 
you  have  the  virus  in  your  sys- 
tem, he  said,  becoming  exhaust- 
ed may  bring  on  serious  polio 
symptoms. 

Keep  from  getting  chilled- 
Chilling  also  can  lessen  your 
protection,  he  said;  don't  bathe 
or  swim  too  long  in  cold  water 
and  take  off  wet  clothing  quick- 
ly. 

Keep  Clean  —  Wash  hands 
carefully  before  eating  and  al- 
ways    after    Using    the    toilet 


Hands  may  carry  the  polio  in- 
fection into  the  body  through 
the  mouth.  Also  keep  food 
clean  and  covered. 

Watch  for  early  signs  of 
sickness.  Some  of  the  symptoms 
listed  are  headache,  sore  throat. 
upset  stomach,  sore  muscles, 
stiff  neck  and  back,  fever  and 
trouble  in  swallowing  or  breath- 
ing. Persons  coming  down  with 
polio  may  feel  nervous,  cross  or 
dizzy. 

In  the  event  polio  does  strike, 
these  steps  were  reconamended: 

Call  your  doctor  at  once  and, 
until  he  comes,  keep  the  patient 
quiet,  in  bed  and  away  from 
others. 

If  the  diagnosis  is  polio,  Dr. 
Van  Riper  advised,  the  local 
chapter  of  the  National  Foun- 
dation for  Infantile  Paralysis 
should  be  called. 

"Polio  is  a  very  expensive 
disease  to  treat,"  he  said,  "but 
r.o  patient  need  go  without 
care  for  lack  of  funds.  You  pay 
what  you  can  afford  and  your 
chapter,  supported  by  the  an- 
nual March  of  Dimes,  will  pay 
the  cost  ol  care  you  cannot 
•leet." 

He  warned  that  there  is  no 
"quick  cure"  for  polio  and  no 
way  as  yet  to  prevent  it 

■'With  good  care,  most  people 
cct  well,  although  some  need 
treatment  for  a  long  time."  he 
added.  "More  than  half, the  per- 
'ns  who  get  the  disease  recover 

.hout    any   criFfplirg."

First  Epistle  From  Hampsters  to  Homo  Sapiens 

DEAR  PEOPLE: 

Unskilled  in  the  art  of  \vTiting.  I.  "Pop"  Hamster  squeek 
greetings  in  behalf  of  "Nom"  Hamster  and  our  one  surviving 
offspring,  "Cannibal,"  to  you,  our  faithful  guardians  and  fond 
friends. 

We  Hampsters  have  but  recently  entered  these  United  States 
having  been  discovered  in  Syria  and  brought  to  this  country 
by  scientists  who  named  us  Cricelus  Auratus  Waterhouse.  They 
say  we  belong  to  the  rat  and  rodent  family,  a  fact  not  to  our 
liking  for  though  our  anatomy  might  resemble  theirs,  our  per- 
sonalities are  in  sharp  contrast. 

We  are  not  "sneeky"  but  are  extremely  sociable.  Our  table 
manners  are  beyond  reproach.  We  have  no  equals  in  the  field 
of  sanitation  for  we  wash  many  times  a  day  and  keep  our  nests 
free  from  filth.  Like  many  of  our  human  friends,  we  are  noc- 
turnal— meaning  that  we  sleep  all  day  and  stay  awake  all  night. 
We  are  a  worry-free  animal.  If  we  aren't  fed.  we  feast  upon 
our  relatives.  That's  how  Cannibal  acquired  his  name.  He  ate 
his  sister. 

Did  you  ask  why  we  are  here?  We  are  proud  to  say  that 
our  lives  have  been  dedicated  to  science.  Through  us  many 
new  and  practical  facts  about  life  have  been  and  will  continue 
to  be  learned.  Thus  far.  two  of  the  "kids"  have  paid  the  supreme 
sacrifice.  When  our  time  comes,  our  dying  words  will  be.  "Wc 
regret  that  we  have  but  one  life  to  give  to  science." 

Come  see  us.  won't  you?  Our  home  is  at  room  114  Admin- 
istration Building. 

Hamsterly. 
"POP" 


Out  of  the  Files  .  .  . 

Looking  through  old  records 
of  1887,  we  came  across  this  note 
concerning  sports  at  Milligan. 
It  reminds  one  of  the  intramural 
Softball  league  the  past  semes- 
ter (Lovelace's  Lovers,  Crack- 
pots. Rebels.  Bombers,  etc). 
'The  Students'  attention  was 
given  to  local  match  games, 
such  as  Prohibitionists  against 
Democrats.  Fat  Men  against 
Lean  Men.  or  One  Side  of 
Creed  against  The  Other  Side 
of  Creed." 


Hidden  Treasure 

Turning  to  more  serious  vein, 
this  obser\'ation  furnishes  an 
appropriate  ending  for  this 
column  in  tlie  final  edition  of 
the  Stampede  for  1949-50.  Down 
at  the  age-worn  postoffice. 
where  we  linger  to  receive  that 
communication  from  the  out- 
side world,  one  can  find  much 
of  interest  on  the  cluttered  wall 
above  the  shelf  with  the  ink- 
well. Nestled  in  obscurity 
beneath  the  "Wanted  for  bur- 
galry.  fraud,  murder"  bulletins, 
the  ancient  calendars  and  mis- 
cellaneous advertisements,  is  a 
gem   of  verse  by  an  unknown 


poet      For    all    who    chance    to 
find  the  yellowed  clipping,  here 
is  a  sound  philosophy  of  life: 
Give    me    clean    hands,    clean 

words  and  clean  thoughts 
Help  me  to  stand  for  the  hard 

right  against  the  easy  wrong; 
Save     me     from     habits     that 

harm. 
Teach  me  to  work  as  hard  and 

play   as  fair  as  in   Thy  sigh 

alone 
All  the  world  saw. 
Forgive  mc  when  I  am  unkind, 

and  help  me  to  forgive  those 

Who  are  unkind  to  me. 
Keep  me  ready  to  help  others  at 

some  cost  to  m>-solf.

Milligan-State  Week  Big  Success 

The  third  annual  Milligan-State  week  closed  Saturday 
evening  in  a  6  to  6  tie  football  game.  The  activities  of  the 
week  were  of  a  high  type  and  will  long  be  remembered  by 
the  students  of  both  schools. 

Before  the  week  activities  started  it  was  decided  by  a 
meeting  of  the  two  student  councils  that  certain  rules 
would  be  in  order  o  keep  activities  within  bounds.  Al-

'7Ue  ^iMt  *1Uaii,hiffUU*t<f,  MILLIGAN  ATHLETICS 


It  was  a  lovely  Thanksgiving  celebra- 
tion that  day  at  Plymouth  in  the  fall  of  1621. 
The  Pilgrims,  after  fasting,  prayer  and  a 
farewell  feast,  left  the  city  of  Leyden,  Eng- 
land, and  sailed  for  a  new  home.  A  year 
had  passed  in  this  new  world  and  they  were 
reaping  a  bountiful  harvest.  The  woods 
were  decked  in  resplendent  colors  and  game 
was  in  abundance.  It  was  truly  time  for 
Thanksgiving.  Thus  a  royal  feast  was  pre- 
pared on  the  first  aimiversary  of  their  land- 
ing. I  have  always  felt  that  when  these 
autumn  days  were  over  and  the  winter  skies 
hung  low,  these  Pilgrims  were  richer,  hap- 
pier, and  had  a  deeper  sense  of  security  be- 
cause they  had  taken  time  to  give  thanks. 

It  ii  only  to  those  who  have  willingness  lo 
receive  that  anything  can  be  given. 

There  is  something  heartfelt  and  ro- 
mantic about  this  first  Thanksgiving  Day 
and  I  never  want  to  forget  it.  They  were 
dreamers,  these  Pilgrim  fathers  who  had 
come  so  far  to  find  religious  and  economic 
freedom.  That  is  what  makes  the  story  so 
reverential.  They  dreamed  into  existence  a 
new  nation  "conceived  in  liberty  and  dedi- 
cated to  the  proposition  that  sdl  men  are 
created  equal."  It  is  good  that  we  perpetu- 
ate their  ideals  . . .  and  dream. 

We  are  thankiul  that  we  have  learned  to 
turn  our  defeats  and  disappointments  into  good 
accounts. 


With  the  State  game,  the  Milligan  Buf- 
faloes closed  a  most  successful  season.  True, 
the  Buffs  did  not  win  all  their  games  but 
considering  the  enrollment  of  the  various 
colleges  on  the  Buffaloes  schedule,  Milligan 
had  an  outstanding  team.  It  is  doubtful  if 
any  college  our  size  could  beat  us.  The  line 
stood  well  against  even  the  larger  teams 
and  the  offense  kept  Mihgan  in  the  game 
until  the  very  end.  As  for  basketball,  the 
Buffs  have  always  made  an  excellent  record 
and  from  all  indications,  this  year  will 
measure  as  high  as  the  teams  of  other 
years.  All  in  all,  this  year's  athletic  pro- 
gram is  of  a  high  caliber. 


A  GOOD  AMERICAN 

1.  A  good  American  cooperates  for  the  wel- 
fare of  the  whole  group. 

2.  A  good  American  practices  fundamental 
equality  and  human  brotherhood. 

3.  A  good  American  upholds  democracy. 

4.  A  good  American  believes  in  freedom  of 
worship,  freedom  of  thought,  freedom  of 
press,  freedom  of  assembly  and  freedom 
of  speech. 

5.  A  good  American  accepts  responsibility.

Figures  released  from  the  Veteran's  Ad- 
ministration show  that  a  majority  of  the 
nation's  15,300,000  World  War  II  veterans 
have  benefited  by  the  G.I.  Bill. 


Today  is  a  lovely  autumn  day.  The  trees  have  on  their 
coats  of  soft  tans  and  browns  and  reds.  And  in  the  spirit  of 
these  autumn  days,  I  must  record  two  enchanting  poems  by 
Mrs.  Alva  Ross  Brown,  our  English  Professor. 

HOLD  FAST  THIS  BEAUTY 

All  suddenly  the  lovely  summer  ends, 

And  like  a  queen  grown  weary  of  her  reign. 
Now  swiftly  from  her  golden  throne  descends, 

Nor  cares  to  mount  its  jewelled  steps  again. 
A  late  rose  blooms  beside  the  grassy  walk, 

The  air  at  noon  is  clear  as  crystal  glass 
A  drowsy  bee  falls  from  an  aster  stalk 

And  crickets  murmur  softly  in  the  grass. 

O,  heart  hold  fast  this  beauty  you  have  known 

For  summer  wealth  is  made  of  transient  things; 

Today,  a  scented  blossom,  bright,  full  blown, 
Tomorrow,  flown  as  birds  on  silent  wings, 

And  soon  this  wooded  fern — sweet  path  you  know 
Will  slip  beneath  a  weight  of  drifted  snow. 


SOFTLY  NOW  THE  AUTUMN  RAIN 

Softly  now  the  autumn  rain 

Falls  thru  fading  leaves 
For  summer's  sudden  passing 

The  lonely  garden  grieves. 

On  withered  stalk  of  poppy 

And  aster  falls  the  rain; 
Only  the  broken  stem  can  tell 

Of  summer's  lonely  train. 

Upon  the  walk  the  maple  leaves 
Lie  wet  and  pumpkin  bright; 

A  flash  of  blue  and  orchard  trees 
Marks  the  jay's  bold  flight. 

Against  the  misty,  troubled  sky, 

Fly  the  dusky  crows; 
The  cornfield  tents  to  which  they  wing 

Will  soon  be  roofed  by  snows. 


Oh,  autumn,  soon  the  gentle  snow 
In  sleep  will  fold  your  leaves 

And  thus  will  peace  as  softly  come 
To  heal  the  heart  that  grieves. 


CLASS  AND  CLUB  DIRECTORY 


Only  four  per  cent  of  all  verterans  who 
have  been  in  training — or  around  300,000 — 
have  exhausted  their  entitlement  to  further 
G.L  Bill  training. 


All  together,  the  veterans  spent  a  total 
of  95.000,000  months  in  classroom,  at  the 
work  bench  and  on  the  farm,  or  an  average 
of  about  15  months  of  training  per  veteran. 


Enrollment  Figures 

statistics  released  by  the  col- 
lege Registrar  show  Milligan 
has  students  enrolled  this  se- 
mester from  sixteen  different 
states.  Tennessee  comes  first 
with  91  students  and  Virginia 
second  with  52  enrolled.  Total 
for  each  state  as  follows:  Ten- 
nessee 91;  Virginia  52;  Ohio  16; 
Pennsylvania  15;  Indiana  12;  Il- 
linois 12;  Kentucky  6;  West  Vir-

4;  North  Carolina  4;  Florida  3; 
Wisconsin  1;  Mississippi  1;  Min-

Romance  is  on  the  campus 
again.  The  most  recent  engage- 
ment to  be  announced  is  that 
of  Charlotte  Garshaw  and 
Frank  Kelly.  Charlotte  and 
Frank  plan  to  be  married  next

Draft  Regulations 
Are  Clarified 

How  does  the  drafl  affect  you, 
Mr.  College  Student?  This  is 
partially  answered  in  bulletins 
issued  by  Lewis  B,  Hershey, 
national  director  of  Selective 
Service. 

The  following  is  contained  in 
material  sent  from  his  office: 
"Local  boards  may  consider  the 
following  conditions  when  all 
three  exist  in  the  case  of  any 
registrant  as  warranting  consid- 
eration for  occupational  defer- 
ment: 

1.  The  registrant  has  com- 
pleted at  least  one  academic 
year  of  a  full-time  course  of  in- 
struction at  a  college,  univers- 
ity, or  similar  institution  of 
learning. 

2.  The  college  or  university  at 
which  the  registrant  last  com- 
pleted an  academic  year  of  a 
luU-time  course  of  instruction 
certifies  that  the  registrant's 
scholastic  standing  placed  him 
among  the  upper  half  of  his 
class. 

3.  The  local  board  is  satisfied 
by  the  record  of  the  registrant's 
actions  in  making  normally  re- 
quired arrangements  that  he 
had  fully  intended  prior  to  Aug- 
ust 1,  1950,  to  enroll  in  a  full- 
time  course  of  instruction  at  a 
college,  university,  or  similar 
institution  of  learning  for  the 
academic  year  ending  in  the 
Spring  of  1951. 

"In  the  case  of  a  registrant 
meeting  the  above  conditions  to 
whom  an  order  to  report  for 
induction  has  been. issued,  the 
local  board  is  hereby  authorized 
by  the  Director  ...  to  reopen 
the  case  for  reconsideration." 

The  law  requires  all  men  to 
register  with  the  Selective  Ser- 
vice System  within  five  days 
after  their  18th  birthday.  The 
student,  on  becoming  18,  should 
register  with  his  local  board, 
that  being  the  one  nearest  his 
home.  The  student  away  from 
his  home  may  register  with  the 
board  nearest  the  school  and 
ask  that  his  registration  be  for- 
warded to  his  home  board. 

Anyone  who  has  received  a 
classification  card  has  a  Selec- 
tive Service  number  on  it.  This 
number  should  always  be  used 
in  any  correspondence  with  the 
board. 

A  student  should  at  all  times 
keep  his  home  board  informed 
of  any  change  of  address.  Any 
notice  mailed  out  from  the 
board  is  regarded  as  active  no 
matter  whether  the  registrant 
has  received  it  or  not.  He  should 
also  notify  the  board  if  he  mar- 
ries after  the  registration  date, 
as  his  classification  would  be 
changed. 

Anyone  receiving  a  notice  of 
induction  from  his  Selective 
Service  Board  may  report  at 
once  to  another  board  and  ask 
for  a  transfer  from  the  board 
where  request  of  transfer  was 
made. 

Persons  bom  before  August 
31,  1922,  are  not  required  to 
keep  their  local  board  informed 
of  change  of  address.  Their 
records  have  been  stored  and 
local  boards  have  no  informa- 
tion on  them.

SUNDAY:  "Life's  greatest 
tragedy  is  to  lose  God  and  not 
to  miss  Him." — Norwood. 

MONDAY:  I  saw  this  in  an 
old  book  today  and  it  reminds 
me  of  boys  I  know.  A  flea  and 
an  elephant  walked  side  by  side 
over  a  little  bridge.  Said  the 
flea  to  the  elephant,  after  they 
had  crossed  it:  "Boy,  we  sure 
did  shake  that  thing!" 

TUESDAY:  The  best  thing  I 
read  today:  "Some  people  try 
to  get  something  for  nothing 
and  then  kick  about  the  qual- 
ity." 

WEDNESDAY:  One  of  the 
girls  gave  me  this  one:  The  dif- 
ference between  love  sickness 
and  sea  sickness  is — lovers  will 
not  give  up. 

THURSDAY:    How's    this    for 
poetry: 
There  was  a  young    lady  from 

Siam. 
Who  said   to   her  young  lover, 

Kiam: 
"If  you  kiss  me,  of  course, 
You  will  have  to  use  force — 
But  I  bet  you  are  stronger  than 

I  am." 

FRIDAY:  "We  ought  every 
day  to  hear  at  least  one  little 
song,  read  a  good  poem,  see  a 
first-rate  painting,  and,  if  pos- 
sible, speak  a  few  sensible 
words." — Gothe. 

SATURDAY:  Prof.  Spraker: 
A  tourniquet  is  a  tight  band,  in- 
tended to  stop  circulation.  For 
example,  a  wedding  ring. 


Ministerial  Boys  Busy 

Several  MiUigan  ministerial 
students  are  fortunate  enough 
to  have  preaching  points  while 
doing  their  college  work.  Joe 
Sutherland  can  be  heard  any 
Sunday  at  the  Central  Christian 
Church,  Jonesboro;  Marshall 
Leggett  is  preaching  every 
Lord's  Day  at  the  Union  Church 
of  Christ;  Mel  Knapp  is  minis- 
ter for  the  Wood-Howell  Chris- 
tian Church  in  Virginia;  Bob 
Piatt  is  preaching  at  First  Chris- 
tian, Jonesboro;  Albert  Zim- 
merman is  regular  at  Cumber- 
land, Kentucky. 

Jerry  Holmquist  is  now  Youth 
Director  of  First  Church,  Bris- 
tol and  Tom  Archibald  is  music 
director  for  Fourth  Church, 
Johnson  City. 


MiUigan  Students 
Practice  Teaching 

Twenty-eight  MiUigan  stu- 
dents are  engaged  in  practice- 
teaching  at  Happy  VaUey  this 
semester,  in  order  to  meet  the 
requirements  to  obtain  a  teach- 
ing certificate.  These  students 
receive  six  hours'  credit  for  the 
semester's  work,  which  includes 
taking  a  one  hour  course  in  di- 
rected teaching  here  at  MiUigan 
plus  the  five  hours  per  week  of 
teaching  at  Happy  VaUey.   . 

Before  teaching  the  class,  the 
student  is  required  to  draw  up 
a  full  outline  of  the  subject  to 
be  taught.  In  addition,  he  is  to 
submit  a  list  of  the  objectives 
he  wishes  to  be  attained  during 
the  semester.  The  student  teach- 
er is  also  to  take  the  place  of 
the  regular  teaching  in  the  as- 
signment of  homework,  the 
making,  administration,  and 
grading  of  tests. 

Upon  his  arrival  at  the  class- 
room, the  student  teacher  first 
observes  the  classroom  proce- 
dure as  conducted  by  tlie  regu- 
lar teacher.  Then,  with  the 
teacher  remaining  in  the  room 
and  noting  criticisms  to  bo  told 
the  practice  teacher  at  a  later 
time,  the  student  conducts  the 
class. 

Those  students  who  are  teach- 
ing are  as  follows:  Physical  Ed- 
ucation: BUI  Beeler,  J.  A.  Beel- 
er,  J.  Frank  Edens,  Gene  Goff, 
Sidney  Hathaway,  Don  Lambert, 
Walter  Mathes.  Sam  Pridon. 
Joan  Thompson.  Health:  John 
Ammerman.  Biology:  WilUam 
Taylor,  Arlene  Bennett,  Marion 
Kincheloe,  Bookkeeping:  Vir- 
ginia Elliott.  Gene  Sutherland. 
Typmg:  Nell  Fritz.  Shorthand: 
Elnora  Holbrook.  Home  Eco- 
nomics: Anna  Holzer.  History: 
Paula  Johnson.  Billy  Sue  Hyder. 
Lydia  Serak.  English:  Evelyn 
Large.  Dorothy  Larson.  Buddy 
Lee  Smith.  Mathematics:  Gwen 
Mprelock,  Nelta  Hyder.  Science: 
Charles  Pardue,  Oscar  Peters. 


A  PREACHER  PROPOSES 
MARRIAGE 

Whenever  a  preacher  pro- 
poses to  the  future  Mrs.  Preach- 
er I  wonder  if  he  gets  up  as 
much  steam  as  he  does  when 
he  is  in  the  pulpit  preaching. 
Now  there's  Marshall  Leggett 
for  example.  II  MarshaU  were 
proposing  to  a  girl  I  imagine  he 
would  go  about  it  something 
like  this: 

"Well,  old  girl,  I'm  gonna  give 
you  the  first  chance  to  make 
yourself  Mrs.  MarshaU  Q.  Leg- 
gett. I'm  the  very  best  to  be 
had  in  the  matcrimonial  line, 
and  I  won't  take  "No"  for  an 
answer.  Plenty  of  women  are 
crazy  to  get  a  chance  at  me; 
since  you're  a  very  good  friend 
of  mine,  though.  I'm  making  you 
the  first  offer.  And  let  me  teU 
you  right  now  you'U  be  making 
the  biggest  mistake  of  your  life 
if  you  don't  grab  me  now  while 
you  can  get  me.  .  .  .  WeU, 
whadda  you  say?" 

A  Chinese  man  had  a  tooth- 
ache and  phoned  a  dentist  for 
an  appointment. 

"Two-thirty  all  right?"  asked 
the  dentist, 

"Yes."  replied  the  Chinese, 
"Tooth  hurtee.  aU  right.  What 
time  I  come?" 


MiUigan  On  The  Air 

Personnel  of  MiUigan  CoUege 
are  engaged  in  the  preparation 
and  presentation  of  two  radio 
programs  in  the  name  of  the 
school  One  of  the  programs, 
"MiUigan  Speaks,"  is  again  be- 
ing broadcast  after  a  two-year 
interruption-  Being  broadcast 
over  WETB,  Johnson  City,  on 
each  Monday  at  1:00  PM,  and 
opening  to  the  strains  of  our 
Alma  Mater,  "MiUigan  Speaks" 
is  not  a  promotional  project  for 
the  school,  but  a  project  to 
bring  educational  and  cultural 
programs  to  the  peoples  of  the 
surrounding  communities.  Thus 
far,  the  programs  have  included 
a  message  by  Dr.  Walker,  music 
by  Miss  White,  original  poems 
by  Mrs.  Brown. 

The  second  MiUigan  program 
is  presented  by  the  Ministerial 
association  over  WBEJ,  Eliza- 
bethton,  at  6:45  PM  each  Wed- 
nesday. The  time  for  the  pro- 
gram was  secured  by  Mr.  Coch- 
rane, an  alumnus  of  MiUigan 
CoUege,  and  now  an  official  of 
station  WBEJ.  The  aim  of  the 
program  is  to  "present  the  gos- 
pel in  song  and  sermon."  The 
first  program  was  on  the  theme 
of  love,  and  consisted  of  a  talk 
by  Prof.  Edwards  explaining  the 
purpose  of  the  program,  and 
music  by  the  MiUigan  CoUege 
Quartet  and  by  Miss  White.  The 
program  on  Nov.  22  wiU  feature 
a  talk  by  Prof.  Rhea. 


In  the  battle  of  life  we  cannot 
hire  a  substitute;  whatever  work 
one  volunteers  to  make  his 
own.  he  must  look  upon  as  his 
ministry  to  the  race. — Wright, 


An  education  should  include

Christmas   Vacation 
Begins    December    16 

Milligan  College  will  termi- 
nate its  class  schedule  at  noon 
on  Saturday,  December  16  as 
the  Christmas  vacation  official- 
ly begins.  Already  joyous  over 
the  previously  announced  three 
day  addition  to  the  holiday  sea- 
son, the  yuletide  spirit  continues 
to  mount  as  the  students  par- 
ticipate in  the  many  campus  ac- 
tivities of  the  Pre-Christmas 
Season. 

The  natural  destiiiation  for 
the  majority  of  students  will  be 
their  respective  homes  situated 
in  some  fifteen  states.  However, 
some  students  are  planning  to 
spend  all  or  part  of  their  vaca- 
tion elsewhere,  and  the  wanner 
clime,  particularly  that  of  Flor- 
ida seems  to  be  favored  in  these 
vacation  plans. 

Classes  are  scheduled  to  re- 
sume at  8  a.m.  Wednesday.  Jan- 
uary 3.  1951.  Dean  Sahli  also 
announced  that  any  class  ab- 
sence intmediately  preceding  or 
following  the  Christmas  recess 
would  constitute  a  triple  cut.

LET'S  KEEP  CHRIST  IN  CHRISTMAS 

Once,  on  a  clear,  starry  night  long  ago, 
a  child  was  born.  A  very  special  child  he 
was,  for  He  was  the  Son  of  God,  the  Saviour 
of  mankind,  and  untold  millions  have  paid 
Him  homage  as  such.  However,  our  tradi- 
tional Christmas  Day,  supposedly  the  an- 
niversary of  His'birth,  has  lost  all  semblance 
of  its  true  meaning  and  significance.  Once 
it  was  the  day  set  aside  to  commemorate 
^he  birth  of  a  King  and  men  realized  its 
implications.  It  was  a  day  of  worship  and 
a  day  of  reverence;  it  was  as  well  a  day  of 
joy  and  rejoicing.  Men  and  women,  inspir- 
ed by  the  unselfish  love  of  Christ,  began 
to  give  each  other  appropriate  gifts,  to 
share  their  blessings  with  their  loved  ones 
and  to  help  the  unfortunate. 

Today  the  spirit  of  Christmas  has  been 
debased;  it  has  been  saturated  with  com- 
mercialism. In  this  age  even  the  tempo  of 
Christmas  has  been  changed.  Individual 
sales  quotas  have  been  raised;  radios,  mag- 
azines and  newspapers  flaunt  the  latest  in 
sales  propaganda  before  our  eyes;  every  de- 
partment store  and  street-corner  has  its 
bewhiskered  St.  Nicholas,  supposedly  the 
embodiment  of  the  spirit  of  Christmas. 
Scarcely  has  our  Thanksgiving  dinner  been 
digester,  before  our  ears  detect  a  hearty 
laugh,  the  sound  of  prancing  feet  and  the 
jingle  of  sleigh-bells.  All  of  which  is  by 
way  of  informing  us  of  the  fact  that,  once 
again,  the  campaign  to  surround  the  picture 
of  the  Babe  in  a  manger  with  the  almighty 
dollar-sign,  to  fleece  a  gullible  public  of 
its  savings,  is  off  to  an  early  start.  Behind 
it  all  we  see  that  the  emphasis  is  in  the 
wrong  place.  Our  twentieth-century  acts  of 
giving  have  come  to  be  the  means  whereby 
we  enter  into  the  spirit  of  Christmas,  in- 
stead of  our  gratitude  to  God  for  His  un- 
speakable gift  and  our  love  for  our  fellow- 
men  being  the  basic  drive  which  urges  us 


YOU  WRECK  'EM,  WE  FIX  TM 
This  is  a  good  slogan  for  a  service  station 
operator,  but  it  doesn't  sound  good  to  a 
motorist.  During  the  recent  icy  weather 
there  was  nearly  two  hundred  deaths  re- 
ported. Undoubtedly  some  of  these  deaths 
could  have  been  prevented,  and  undoubted- 
ly more  deaths  were  avoided  when  other 
people  were  extremely  cautious  on  the  road. 
We  are  prone  to  become  careless  in  our 
driving  after  a  few  thousand  miles  without 
an  accident.  But,  if  we  remember  that  a 
couple  of  seconds  of  inattention  can  mean 
a  couple  months  of  doctor  bills  or  maybe 
eternity  for  someone,  then  driving  safely 
will  mean  something  to  us  besides  being 
another  slogan.  If  you  think  life  is  worth 
living,  "prove  it,  by  careful  driving.  Driv- 
ing is  fun  especially  when  we  are  heading 
for  home  and  a  big  CHRISTMAS  with  our 
loved  ones.  The  folks  are  expecting  us — 
will  we  get  there — in  one  piece,  that  is? 


Some  folks  say  that  winter  is  a  desolate  time, 

And  dread  to  see  it  come; 

But  with  all  my  imagination, 

I  oannot  find  desolation 

In  the  sparkling,  new-fallen  snow. 

True,  the  trees  are  bare; 

True,  the  grass  is  gone; 

But  still  wild  life  lingers  on. 

There  jumps  a  hare; 

There  chirps  a  jay; 

There  runs  a  squirrel,  up  and  away. 

The  trees  are  not  dead — only  sleeping; 

But  the  pine  still  remains  awake 

And  )vaits  only  for  someone  to  take  its  beauty  into 

their  memory. 
The  summer  time  is  truly  luscious; 
But  remember  not  to  forget 
That  winter  is  part  of  God's  world  also — 
Something  from  which  we  can  benefit. 

— Connie  Hutchinson. 


A   PAT  ON  THE   BACK 

To  the  students  who  participated  in  Mil- 
ligan-State  Week  and  survived,  we  com- 
mend your  self  control  in  not  carrying  a 
good  thing  too  far.  We  realize  that  the 
urge  is  sometimes  strong  to  make  the  best 
of  the  opportunities  that  come  our  way  in 
giving  our  State  friends  souvenirs  by  which 
to  remember  us.  But  in  keeping  our  heads 
(and  hair),  we  prove  ourselves  to  be  college 
students  and  not  overgrown  teenagers.  The 
administration  should  be  proud  of  the  stu- 
dents who  have  shown  a  desire  to  keep  the 
best  of  relations  between  the  BUFFS  and 
the  BUGS  in  preference  to  a  few  days  of 
hilarious  vandalism.  Let's  keep  up  this  type 
of  good  will,  and  State  Week  will  always 
be  an  -appetizer  before  the  big  game  with 
our  friendly  rival  E.T.S.C.  Thanks  again 
for  your  cooperation. 


PARDEE  HALL 


Most  of  the  men  in  Pardee  Hall  can  re- 
member the  condition  of  the  dorm  last  year 
and  appreciate  the  many  improvements  that 
have  been  made  since  that  time.  They  must 
realize  how  much  money  and  labor  was  put 
into  the  scraping  and  sanding  of  the  floors. 
painting  the  walls  and  making  other  addi- 
tions to  renovate  the  living  quarters.  It  is 
the  responsibility  of  every  man  living  in 
Pardee  to  keep  the  building  in  such  condi- 
tion. Already  this  semester,  the  dorm  shows 
lack  of  attention.  There  seems  to  be  much 
negligence  on  the  part  of  those  responsible 
for  the  care  of  the  building  along  with  those 
hving  in  the  dorm.  Perhaps,  the  Pardee 
Hall  Council  should  investigate  and  take 
the  necessary  steps  to  correct  this  matter. 
Let's  keep  Pardee  clean!

STUDENT  POLL 

The  Ideal  Teacher 

A  poll  taken  recently  among 
the  student  body  to  determine 
what  characteristics  they  con- 
sidered to  be  most  desirable  in 
a  teacher  revealed  the  follow- 
ing information: 

AN  IDEAL  TEACHER; 
Should     have     a     thorough 
knowledge    of    the    subject 

taught    51% 

Should  have  teaching  abil- 
ity  __ ,..- „ 48% 

Should    exhibit   fairness   in 

all  matters  „_ _ „..41% 

Should  have  a  sincere  inter- 
est in  the  teaching  profes- 
sion   40% 

Should  have  interest  in,  and 
understanding  of  young 

people    - „. 40% 

Should  be  a  Christian  -25% 

Should  have  a  pleasant  per- 
sonality     24% 

Should  be  a  firm  disciplin- 
arian     19% 

Should  possess  infinite  pa- 
tience    17% 

Should    have    a    sense    of 

humor    16% 

The  following  theme,  repre- 
sentative of  the  many,  that  were 
submitted  in  the  poll  and  from 
which  the  above  tabulations 
were  compiled  was  written  by 
Betty  Tunnell,  a  freshman  stu- 
dent. 

The  ideal  teacher  is  fully 
qualified  to  instruct  others  in 
his  particular  field  of  study.  He 
must  not  only  know  his  subject 
thoroughly,  but  he  must  also 
have  acquired  a  manner  of 
teaching  that  will  enable  his 
students  to  grasp  the  instructive 
ideas  which  he  has  to  offer 
them, 

Patience  and  consideration 
are  requisite  qualifications  sy- 
nonj»mous  with  the  ideal  teach- 
er. Ho  must  be  masterful  in  tact 
and  sane  judgment.  He  should 
cultivate  a  warm  feeling  of  in- 
dividual importance  which 
should  exist  between  him  and 
his  students-  His  classes  should 
be  characterized  by  a  friendly 
atmosphere. 

The  ideal  teacher  should  be 
wholeheartedly  sold  on  his  pro- 
fession. He  must  have  a  real 
desire  to  help  others  grow  in 
knowledge.  He  presents  the 
facts,  expresses  his  opinions  and 
beliefs,  but  does  not  insist  or 
demand  that  his  opinions  be  ac- 
cepted by  his  hearers.  He  should 
encourage  the  student  to  con- 
sider facts  and  others'  opinions, 
but  he  should  also  encourage 
the  individual  to  think  for  him- 
self and  arrive  at  his  own  con- 
clusions.

Christmas  comes  this  year  of 
1950  in  a  world  greatly  disturb- 
ed by  the  possibilities  of  an 
outright  conflict  engaging  the 
whole  earth.  It  seems  to  us  that 
no  other  time  has  been  more 
dangerously  threatened  from 
the  enemies  of  the  Lord  of  the 
day  whose  birth  hallowed  this 
season  for  so  much  of  the 
world's  people. 

Yet  it  may  rightly  be  said 
that  in  the  time  of  His  coming 
the  evil  which  threatened  to 
destroy  God's  earth  was  no  less 
blatant,  no  less  powerful,  than 
it  is  in  this  day.  In  that  time 
the  evil  was  taken  for  granted. 
Due  to  the  life  of  Jesus  of  Naz- 
areth today  the  evil  is  taken  as 
a  danger  to  be  averted,  a  con- 
quest to  be  defeated,  an  enemy 
to  be  destroyed.  This  change  in 
the  world's  -thinking  is  partly 
the  cause  of  gur^'  more  acute 
apprehension,  ih  a  day  of  dis- 
aster. 

As  you  go  to  your  various 
homes  for  vacation  time,  you 
will  carry  with  you  not  only  the 
sense  of  impending  danger  but 
also  the  sense  of  internal  peace. 
You  have  had  peace  on  the 
campus  of  MiUigan  this  semes- 
ter. You  have  done  well.  We 
have  had  few  occasions  to  sug- 
gest to  you  the  desirability  of 
alternative  courses  to  the  ones 
which  you  have  chosen  for 
yourselves.  We  have  believed 
that  if  you  as  students  have  the 
right  of  choice  that  you  will 
make  the  right  choice.  In  this 
we  have  been  largely  vindi- 
cated. Our  thanks  to  you  and 
our  hope  that  the  peace  which 
you  have  made  upon  this  cam- 
pus may  continue  in  the  un- 
folding months  to  come. 

You  have  seen  on  the  campus 
at  Milligan  a  subtle  "differ- 
ence" in  life  which  we  hope  you 
will  carry  with  you  throughout 
all  your  days.  It  is  possible  to 
be  a  Christian  in  these  times.  It 
is  possible  to  deal  honestly,  up- 
rightly,  fairly,  benevolently 
with  all  men  in  all  occupations 
you  may  choose.  It  is  possible 
to  do  so  in  your  college  work. 
You  have  seen  how  this  differ- 
ence   enriches    your    own  lives 


and  the  lives  with  whom  you 
deal.  You  have  seen  it  in  class- 
rooms and  in  the  varied  curricu- 
lar  activities  of  this  college 
campus.  It  is  our  desire  that  this 
difference  may  become  increas- 
ingly clear  to  you.  and  that  you 
will  find  the  greatest  sources  of 
your  satisfaction  rooted  in  this 
Christian  difference  which 
Christ  has  made  available  to 
every  person. 

When  you  reach  your  homes 
I  cherfth  the  hope  that  you  will 
find  it  possible  to  express  yoxir 
gratitude  to  Our  Heavenly 
Father  in  the  work  at  services 
in  your  respfective  churches.  I 
hope  you  will  find  it  possible  to 
tell  some  boy  or  girl  of  your  ac- 
quaintance of  the  difference 
which  Milligan  has  meant  to 
you.  Talk  to  your  minister  about 
this  same  creative  education 
which  you  are  absorbing  here 
at  this  school.  Tell  them  if  you 
will  of  the  threat  to  education 
which  mobilization  of  young 
men  brings  to  the  college  cam- 
pus. Ask  them  to  stand  reso- 
lutely as  friends  by  the  side  of 
the  Christian  college  that  the 
light  which  our  Saviour  brought 
into  the  world  may  not  be  dim- 
med in  this  time  of  wars  and 
threats  of  wars.  Carry  a  gift  to 
your  father  and  mother  and 
your  brothers  and  sisters  in 
making  your  life  a  benediction 
to  them.  Enjoy  their  company 
and  be  sure  that  they  enjoy 
yours.  Above  aU  let  the  joyous 
radiance  of  the  Christmas  Sea- 
son be  present  in  your  minds 
and  hearts  and  wills  and  you 
will  increase  the  sense  of  peace 
that  is  yours  through  that  which 
you  have  found  here  at  Milligan. 
The  days  will  pass  quickly 
-and  you  shall  be  back  on  cam- 
pus. We  shall  be  dehghted  to 
see  you  and  when  you  come 
back  filled  with  the  joys  of  a 
normal  Christmas  Season  we 
hope  that  the  vacation  will  have 
profited  you  to  the  point  that 
you  may  pursue  with  even  more 
zest  the  studies  and  the  ac- 
quaintances which  have  brought 
enrichment  to  your  personaUty. 
Mrs.  Walker  joins  me  in  wish- 
ing you  each  and  every  one  the 
happiest  Christmas  of  your  lives.

THE  STAMPEDE 


Wednesday,  December  13,  1950 


TRAGEDY! 


What  a  tragedy  that  MiUigan's  athletic  trophies  are 
being  treated  with  such  alarming  indifference  and  negli- 
gence! Instead  of  being  displayed  in  a  glass  show  case' 
they  are  now  residing  in  the  dust  and  dirt  of  the  old  store 
room  on  the  third  floor  of  the  administration  building. 

Every  school  should  be  proud  of  her  symbols  of  past 
prowess  in  the  sports  world;  one  wonders  about  MiUigan's 
achievements.  The  "Buffaloes"  have  won  their  share  of 
awards  in  building  an  athletic  reputation,  but  it  certainly 
is  not  evident,  for  the  trophies  are  placed  where  no  one 
ever  sees  them.  School  spirit  and  pride  is  instilled  in  the 
student  body  when  the  school's  accomplishments  are  held 
up  before  the  college. 

Before  the  trophies  collected  dust  in  the  store  room, 
they  were  situate;!  on  top  of  a  cabinet  in  the  dean's  office, 
certainly  hot  a-fitting  tribute  to  MiUigan's  athletic  teams 
of  the  past. 

Now  the  question  arises,  "What  can  be  done?"  A  glass 
case  can  be  purchased  or  an  enclosed  shelf  can  be  construct- 
ed and  situated  in  some  prominent  place.  This  would  be  an 
excellent  contribution  for  an  enterprising  club  or  class  as 
their  project.  Such  an  organization  can  point  the  way  to  a 
better  Milligan  College!

After  three  straight  losses. 
MiUigan's  Buffaloes  broke  into 
the  win  column  with  a  brilliant 
80-78  conquest  of  Union  College 
of  Kentucky  Saturday  night,  at 
Cheek  gymnasium.  This  victory 
added  a  much-needed  luster  to 
MiUigan's  record  after  a  dismal 
start. 

The  opening  contests  of  the 
hardwood  season  find  Milligan 
at  a  disadvantage,  due  to  the 
fact  that  five  of  the  Buffs'  seven 
pre-Christmas  opponents  do  not 
field  football  teams  and  there- 
fore have  been  devoting  time 
entirely  to  basketball  since 
school  commenced.  The  Herd 
started  practice  at  the  close  of 
the  pigskin  season  and  has  not 
yet  gained  the  smoothness  and 
accuracy  that  is  acquired  by 
practice  and  competition. 

In  their  debut,  the  Herd  lost 
a  free-scoring  game  to  Berea 
College,  of  Berea.  Kentucky. 
The  visitors  jumped  ahead  at 
the  outset  and  never  relinquish- 
ed their  lead,  nailing  down  an 
easy  101-67  triumph.  Two  of 
Milligan's  starters  had  been 
marooned  up  North  by  the  snow 
storm  during  the  Thanksgiving 
vacation  and  did  not  dress  for 
the  contest. 

The  game  was  a  rough  affair, 
with  73  fouls  being  called.  Berea 
led  44-26  at  intermission  and 
poured  points  through  Milligan's 
defense  lihe  water  through  a 
sieve  up  to  the  final  gun.  Don 
Brooks  copped  scoring  honors 
for  the  night  with  16  points.

counters,  followed  by  "Mad

Mountaineers,  semi -finalist  in 
the  N.  A.  I.  B,  tournament  last 
year,  the  Milligan  Buffaloes 
dropped  their  second  tilt  by  a 
79-64  count 

Milligan  played  a  much  better 
brand  of  ball  than  in  the  open- 
er, as  evidenced  by  a  36-34  lead 
ot  half-time.  The  Buffs  com- 
manded a  43-42  margin  with  12 


minutes  to  go.  but  ran  out  of 
steam.  The  thrilling  encounter 
was  deadlocked  eight  times,  but 
the  visitors  pulled  away  in  the 
last  canto. 

Big  Joe  Hunt,  stellar  Moun- 
taineer pivot  man,  played  out- 
standing ball,  rattling  the  hoops 
for  20  points.  Sid  Hathaway 
again  topped  the  Buff  cagers 
with  a  17  point  total,  while  Sam 
Pridon  racked  up  14  points  and 
played  a  bang-up  game  under 
the  back  boards.  Frank  Dumis- 
inecz  copped  12  counters  and 
stood  out  defensively  as  a  ball' 
hawk.  "Mad  Mack"  Wolfe  play- 
ed another  outstanding  ball 
game  with  his  set  shots  and 
floor  work. 

Traveling  to  Bristol,  the 
Buffs  dropped  another  game, 
this  time  by  a  close  margin.  57- 
56,  to  the  King  College  quint. 
The  Tornado  sewed  up  the  de- 
cision with  a  foul  shot  in  the 
minute  and  a  half  of  play  and 
then  "froze"  the  ball  the  re- 
maining seconds. 

The  contest  was  a  thriller  all 
the  way.  with  the  lead  changing 
hands  time  and  again.  King 
stretched  a  first  half  margin  to 
30-23,  but  the  Herd  stormed 
back  to  grab  the  lead  at  the  out- 
set of  the  second  half.  After 
minutes,  the  Buffs  led  35-24. 
and  padded  this  margin  to  a 
50-45  edge,  Here  disaster  befell 
Milhgan,  with  foul  shots  play- 
ing an  important  role. 

King  knotted  the  count  at 
52-52.  with  two  charity  tosses, 
as  the  clock  showed  three  min- 
utes to  play.  With  two  more 
foul  shots,  the  Tornado  took  a 
54-52  lead.  Milligan  surged 
back  to  deadlock  the  count  at 
54-54,  and  then  take  a  56-53 
edge,  but  here  King  took  the 
lead  in  the  nerve  -  wrecking 
drama  as  Moore,  scrappy  little 
guard,  drove  in  for  a  crip  shot 
to  tic  it  up.  Then,  at  this  tense 
moment.  Byrd.  the  outstanding 
man  on  the  court,  swished  the 
net  with  the  foul  which  spelled

Lambert,  and  Bob  Hillier.  The

As  football  turns  over  the 
sports  spotlight  to  basketball, 
I'll  give  one  last  glance  to  the 
pigskin  parade  and  then  put  the 
football  chatter  in  mothballs. 

I  turn  our  sports  telescope  to 
the  Tangerine  Bowl,  New 
Year's  Day,  at  Orlando,  Florida 
and  find  Emory  and  Henry,  the 
Smoky  Mountain  Conference 
goliath.  paired  v/ith  Morris- 
Harvey  of  Charleston,  West 
Virginia.  According  to  the  prog- 
nosticalors.  the  Wasps  are  a  12 
point  underdog,  but  I'm  pick- 
ing Emory  to  upset  the  dope, 
bucket.  Morris-Harvey  com- 
pleted its  season  with  an  un- 
blemished slate,  but  the  opposi- 
tion was  of  a  "weak  sister" 
variety.  It  is  interesting  to  note 
that  the  West  Virginians 
trounced  Concord,  27-0.  the 
same  eleven  the  "Buffs"  stam- 
peded to  the  tune  of  26-0.  Fll 
stick  with  Emory  and  Henry  to 
pull  this  one  out  of  the  fire,  but 
don't  bet  your  wife's  "pin 
money"  on  it- 
Bob  Miller,  "The  Emory  Ex- 
press," who  has  given  Milligan 
many  a  nightmare,  has  been 
named  to  the  first  Little  All- 
American  team.  The  shifty  left- 
half  does  everything,  and  does 
it  well.  He  finished  the  season 
with  a  sensational  114  points. 
the  sixth  highest  total  in  the 
nation.  Here  comes  the  head- 
ache, though — Miller  is  a  junior 
and  the  "Buffs"  must  face  him 
again  next  fall- 
Carl  Gouge,  former  Buff  hoop 
star,  entered  the  coaching  ranks 
with  a  bang.  His  Happy  Valley 
eleven  finished  its  season  unde- 
feated, winning  the  Watauga 
loop  croA'n.  Lynn  Goddard, 
punting  ace  of  "48.  led  his  Unaka 
Rangers  to  second  spot. 

Kenny  Hyder,  scoring  whiz 
of  the  past  three  hoop  seasons, 
and  Carl  Gouge,  another  stal- 
wart, are  cavorting  for  the  Paty 
Splinters,  crack  independent 
outfit- 

— a  thriller  if  there  ever  was 
one.  At  the  final  buzzer,  Milli- 
gan had  an  80-78  victor>-. 

Cox  led  Union  scorers  with 
22  points,  followed  by  Swim, 
versatile  Indiana  athlete,  who 
copped  17. 

Superlatives  could  not  de- 
scribe Sid  Hathaway,  who  play- 
ed one  of  the  finest  games  of  a 
4-year  career.  He  took  command 
of  the  game  in  the  last  half, 
setting  up  plays,  hitting  set 
shots,  drive-ins,  and  foul  tosses. 
Scoring  30  points  on  9  field 
goals  and  12  out  of  13  fouls,  Sid 
was  unbeatable.  Sam  Pridon 
turned  in  an  excellent  game  be- 
fore he  fouled  out,  sinking 
smooth  hook  shots  and  numer- 
ous fouls:  he  totaled  15  for  the 
night.  Frank  Duminisccz  added 
his  usual  fine  performance  as 
he  bagged  11  pounters  before 
fouling  out  soon  after  intermis- 
sion. Phil  Roush  and  "Mad 
Mack"  Wolfe  turned  in  valuable 
efforts  as  sutis  in  the  last  half. 

Milligan  hit  an  almost  unbe- 
lievable total  of  30  out  of  3!)  foul 
shots.  This  exceptional  perform- 
ance was  the  difference  in  ihc 
scoring  columns  of  the  two 
quintets.  This  was  one  victorj-

Milligan  Debaters  In 
Contest  At  Sewanee 

Milljgan  College  was  repre- 
sented by  one  team  in  the  Se- 
wanee pre-season  debate  tour- 
nament held  on  the  beautiful 
campus  of  the  University  of  The 
South  on  January  5  and  6.  These 
were  the  first  intercollege  de- 
bates engaged  in  by  a  Milligan 
team  in  many  years.  These 
were  also  the  first  interschool 
debates  that  either  member  of 
the  Milligan  team  had  ever  par- 
ticipated in,  or,  on  the  psirt  of 
one  of  the  debaters,  the  first  de- 
bates he  had  ever  seen.  Despite 
these  handicaps,  the  Milligan 
team,  composed  of  Bob  White 
and  Paul  Conkin,  won  two  of 
their  six  debates  over  a  Van- 
derbilt  and  a  Sewanee  team- 
Dean  D.  G.  Sahli  coached  the 
team  at  the  tournament  and 
acted  as  a  judge  for  several  of 
the  debates  between  other 
schools.  Everette  Smock  made 
=    the  trip  as  alternate. 

The  number  of  debates  won 
and  lost  does  not  tell  the  whole

FRANKLY  SPEAKING 
We  would  like  to  express  appreciation  on 
behalf  of  the  student  body  to  President  Wal- 
ker for  his  frankness  in  presenting  to  us  in 
Chapel  last  December,  facts  regarding  the 
condition  of  our  college.  Rimiors  aren't 
very  reliable  things  on  which  to  form  opin- 
ions or  to  provide  one  with  an  accurate  ac- 
count of  the  whole  story.  And  neither  is 
one's  imagination  a  good  source  for  drawing 
upon  w.hen  presenting  rumors  to  others  in 
the  form  of  the  straight  dope  in  respect  to 
our  future  here  at  Milligan. 

The  ideas  and  attitudes  of  many  students 
have  been  changed  since  there  is  no  doubt 
about  what  our  college  is  doing  and  trying 
to  do  for  us.  We  now  have  a  better  under- 
standing "of  what  is  to  be  done  to  improve 
our  oppertunities,  and  what  we  can  also  do 
to  give  our  support  in  removing  the  limi- 
tations under  which  we  operate.  There  have 
already  been  results  of  our  President's 
straightforward  talk.  Supplied  with  the 
facts  of  the  matter  some  students  have  not 
only  gone  ahead  on  their  own  to  enlist  as- 
sistance but  have  personally  given  what  lit- 
tle they  could.  With  a  leader  such  as  Dr. 
Walker  and  with  such  responsive  students 
as  Milligan  College  has  now,  the  future  of 
our  alma  mater  is  assured.  We're  not  only 
pulling  for  old  Milligan  but  we're  pushing 
too. 


SCUTTLEBUTT 
Most  of  us  today  are  concerned  about  the 
draft  situation  (even  the  girls),  and  we  are 
wondering  what  plans  to  make  for  the  im- 
mediate future.  Since  we  cannot  be  sdre  of 
our  position  in  such  matters;  probably  the 
best  move  for  us  to  make  would  be  not  to — 
until  the  picture  clears  up  a  little.  This 
veteran  during  the  last  war  faced  the  same 
condition  as  you  face  today — a  dark  future 
— uncertainty  about  what  plans  to  make — 
general  unrest  among  the  people.  There 
were  many  who  acted  first  and  thought  aft- 
erward and  vice  versa;  then  there  were 
those  who  did  what  I  did — nothing.  Not  ex- 
actly nothing — just  kept  on  working  and 
waiting  until  the  confusion  died  down — by 
then  there  was  some  semblance  of  order 
and  organization.  The  government  had  its 
plans  and  decisions  made  and  published  for 
the  benefit  of  all  concerned,  which  gave  us 
all  3.11  opportunity  to  know  where  we  stood 
in  relation  to  the  future.  It  was  possible  to 
approximately  figure  out  what  was  coming 
and  what  to  do  in  order  to  be  ready  for  the 
draft.  Besides,  the  longer  we  wait  before 
we  act  the  more  time  we  will  have  to  think 
over  all  the  angles,  and  the  wiser  we  will 
be  when  we  make  our  decision.  It's  our 
choice  to  make — whether  we  learn  by  our 
own  experience  or  by  the  experience  of 
others  that  is  for  us  to  determine.  Remem- 
ber the  old  maxim  or  adage  or  axiom  or 
proverb  or  gizmo — anyhow,  remember  this: 
"Haste  makes  waste."

THE  OTHER  HALF 

The  Choir  will  be  going  on  a  tour  soon. 
Gospel  Teams  have  been  going  out  all  se- 
mester, which  means  this;  The  Music  Dept. 
and  the  Bible  Dept.  will  receive  more  pub- 
licity with  the  result  that  these  sections  of 
Milligan  will  have  the  advantage  over  the 
restof  our  curriculum.  We  don't  object  to 
attracting  new  students,  but  why  give  the 
impression  that  these  two  fields  are  para- 
mount here.  No  one  will  disagree  with  us 
that  the  Choir  and  the  Gospel  Teams  are 
doing  a  commendable  job  and  that  they 
should,  by  all  means,  continue  to  go  out, 
but  our  prospective  students  should  also 
know  what  our  complete  program  is. 

Milligan  College  is  composed  of  more 
than  two  fields  of  learning,  for  instance, 
we  have  here  the  following  subjects:  Botany 
—  Biology  —  Chemistry  —  Physics  — 
Mathematics  (almost  all  brands)  —  Psychol- 
ogy {from  Abnormal  to  Child)  —  Language 
(except  Russian,  Chinese,  and  a  couple 
others). 

Already  we  have  those  among  us  who 
are  doing  something  about  this  condition. 
The  Pre-Med  Club  has  launched  a  cam- 
paign to  financially  assist  the  Science  Dept. 


NET   NEEDS 

Although  the  approach  of  sprmg  and  the 
tennis  season  is  several  months  hence,  now 
is  the  time  to  consider  the  deterioration  of 
the  tennis  facilities,  and  the  improvements 
which  might  be  effected. 

It  is  evident  that  both  the  tennis  courts 
and  the  nets  are  in  a  state  of  bad  repair  and 
nejglect.  The  courts  are  15  years  old;  during 
this  period  only  one  has  been  even  partial- 
ly repaired.  The  nets  were  purchased  five 
years  ago;  they  are  now  rotting  and  have 
developed  many  breaks  and  holes.  Such  is 
the  condition  of  the  tennis  equipment. 

We  must  realize  that  tennis  involves  two 
groups  of  students:  those  who  compose  the 
team  which  competes  intercollegiately,  and 
also  those  who  play  for  recreation  and  ex- 
ercise. Because  of  these  two  groups,  the 
tennis  equipment  is  possibly  the  most  util- 
ized recreationaJ  facility  on  the  campus. 
Therefore,  it  is  important  that  improve- 
ments be  made. 

Of  course,  we  realize  that  the  purchase  of 
new  courts  ($800  each)  or  the  resurfacmg 
of  the  old  ones  ($300  each)  is  beyond  the 
financial  reach  of  most  any  alumnus,  club, 
or  class.  However,  the  acquisition  of  new 
nets  would  be  a  vital  assist.  Four  of  the 
first  five  netmen  of  last  year  are  returning 
this  spring,  which  is  a  fine  nucleus,  certain- 
ly deserving  of  good  equipment.  Nets  may 
be  obtained  for  $45  apiece — a  price  not  be- 
yond the  means  of  an  alumnus  or  organiza- 
tion interested  in  the  welfare  of  the  tennis 
team  and  the  recreational  life  of  the  college. 

We  urgently  need  new  nets  for  the  tennis 
courts — will  tliis  need  be  supplied? 


FROM  A  TO  z 

How  is  one  to  accomplish 
something  when  one  has  to  keep 
his  eye  to  the  future — his  shoul- 
der to  the  wheel — his  nose  to 
the    grindstone? 

Who  is  the  one  R-eceiving 
W-rapped  articles  and  messages 
from  the  Cisco  Kid  ttiese  days? 

Score  to  date:  one  scratched 
door  (Stude)  ■ —  two  wrinkled 
doors  ('50  Ford) — one  bent  trunk 
hd,  folded  bumper,  dented  gas 
tank  {'40  Ford) — one  creased 
fender  (unidentified) — one  rear 
fender  crunched  ('46  Chev.). 
Wish  I  knew  something  about 
body  and  fender  work,  it  seems 
to  be  a  very  prosperous  racket 
around   Milligan. 

Could  be  we  lost  the  game 
with  King  College  because  Bill 
King  forgot  to  take  along  our 
basketballs,  huh?

Milligan  Men  Join 
Armed  Forces 

The  recent  increase  in  service 
personnel  demands  has  made  its 
influence  felt  around  the  Milli- 
gan campus.  It  has  been  report- 
ed that  since  the  Christmas 
holidays,  six  students  have  join- 
ed some  branch  of  the  armed 
services. 

Those  students  who  have  left 
school  for  the  service  are  as  fol- 
lows: Jack  Brummit,  Ray  Car- 
tor,  Dwight  Farmer,  Charles 
Mannes,  Ed  Spraker.  and  J.  T,

Milligan  Watches 
Barter  Production 
In  A  New  Light 

Milligan  can  possibly  claim  a 
first  in  regard  to  the  recent 
Barter  Theater  production  of  "A 
Comedy  of  Errors"  given  in  the 
college  auditorium.  The  play 
was  staged  for  the  first  time 
without  the  use  of  Barter's  spe- 
cial portable  light  bridge,  an 
ingenious  device  used  in  their 
stage- lighting  effects.  The  fail- 
ure to  use  their  special  equip- 
ment was  due  to  power  difficul- 
ties. 

The  opening  scenes  of  the 
drama  were  performed  in  the 
rather  inadequate  lighting  of 
the  permanent  installations  of 
the  Milligan  stage.  Often  the 
faces  of  the  players  were  undis- 
tinguishable  due  to  heavy  shad- 
ows cast  by  red  and  blue  foot- 
lights. Midway  in  the  first  act 
the  house  hghts  were  turned  on, 
not  only  giving  the  audience  a 
chance  to  sec  the  performers  but 
also  giving  the  latter  an  oppor- 
tunity to  distinctly  see  each 
member  of  the  capacity  house. 

The  Barter  cast  performed 
capably  under  adverse  condi- 
tions and  were  favorably  re- 
ceived by  a  very  patient  and 
s>*mpathetic  audience. 


JUST  A'THINKING 

By  T.  P.  JONES 
Yep::  I'll  agree!  That  word 
THINKING  is  quite  a  word! 
Sometimes  we  do  a  lot  of  it.  yet 
other  limes  I  wonder  if  we're 
not  immune  to  the  word  .  .  . 
h-m-m,  could  be.! 

Anyway  I  was  JUST  A'- 
THINKING that  we  ought  to 
do  a  httle  of  our  better  think- 
ing out  loud  .  .  ,  O.K..  O.K_! 
I'll  agree!  I  guess  maybe  some 
of  it  does  come  under  the  head 
of  griping  Be  that  as  it  may, 
I  sincerely  hope  that  you  and  I 
can  do  a  lot  of  "constructive 
thinking"  in  this  and  future  ar- 
ticles .  .  . 

.  .  .  ABOUT  FRIENDSHIP 
You  know,  there's  nothing  like 
spending  a  little  time  practicing 
friendship!  But  do  we  spend 
enough  time,  If  not.  maybe  we 
ought  to  examine  more  closely 
this  thing  called  Friendship. 

Contrary  to  beUef.  we  cannot 
"make"  friends,  we  have  to  cul- 
tivate them.  Yes,  "friendship  is 
like  a  plant  that  has  to  be  cul- 
tivated; it  must  be  watered  and 
tended  if  it  is  to  produce  sweet 
and  wholesome  fruit."  Thus, 
there's  more  to  friendship  than 
just  "liking"  someone.  We  have 
to  care  for  their  thoughts,  their 
feelings,  anS  their  sufferings. 
We  have  to  understand  people; 
their  hopes,  their  fears,  and 
their  aspirations.  Actually  to 
really  cultivate  friendship  we 
have  to  apply  the  "all  or  none 
principle."  That  is,  we  must  ac- 
cept a  person  in  his  entirety. 
We  must  accept  his  bad  points 
as  well  as  his  good  ones;  his 
dislikes  as  well  as  his  hkes;  his 
advice  as  well  as  his  queries; 
and  above  all  we  must  attempt 
to  aid  that  person  in  correcting 
his  less  desirable  traits. 

Yes,  in  order  to  be  a  friend, 
we  must  completely  "envelop" 
another  person,  accepting  him 
in  his  entirety,  but  forever 
mindful  of  the  mutual  aid  and 
benefit  that  may  result  from  a 
true  FRIENDSHIP. 

.  .  .  ABOUT  A  "STUDENT 
ADVISORY  COMMITTEE" 
Sounds  fantastic,,.  No!  I  don't 
think  so.  Don't  we  students 
have  ideas?  Don't  we  have  likes 
and  disUkes?  Don't  we  have 
opinions?  Of  course  we  do!  Well 
why  not  share  them  with  other 
people,  especially  the  adminis- 
tration? 

Such  a  committee  should  be 
selected  by  the  student  body  as 
a  whole  and  should  be  an  hon- 
est selection  based  upon  the  per- 
son's ability  and  sincerety  in 
transmitting  our  gripes  and  sug- 
gestions to  the  President. 

Such  a  body  as  this  could 
really  be  a  "lifesaver"  to  Milli- 
gan .  .  .  fir^t,  it  could  put  our 
legitimate  gripes  into  action. 
Second,  it  could  bring  about  a 
more  harmonious  atmosphere 
between  the  students  and  the 
faculty,  and  third,  it  could  cer- 
tainly make  Milligan  a  bigger 
and  better  college,  whose  at- 
tributes would  ring  loudly  in 
our  mouths  and  ears  long  after 
we  have  departed. 

If  you're  in  favor  of  such  an 
organization  why  not  prove  that 
"actions  speak  louder  than 
words"  and  drop  a  letter  to  the 
Editor  of  the  Stampodc  ex- 
pressing >*our  comments.

Survival   or  Conquest? 

by  Doan  E.  Walker 
Crises  lead  to  questionings. 
Questionings  may  be  answered 
with  pessimism  or  with  optim- 
ism or  with  realism.  The  place 
to  start  answering  questions  is 
with  a  realistic  survey  of  the 
situation.  If  the  data  is  unfavor- 
able, then  we  need  to  strengthen 
that  uncertamty  with  optimism. 
This  is  a  valid  procedure  only 
if  the  spirit  of  men  be  strong. 
I  am  confident  that  America  is 
strong  and  that  Milligan  Col- 
lege, as  a  part  of  the  American 
society,  is  strong. 

To  look  realistically  at  the 
world  situation  today  is  to  take 
into  full  account  all  of  the  fac- 
tors ranged  against  the  free  na- 
tions and  all  of  the  factors  on 
the  opposite  side.  While  I  am  no 
military  expert  nor  economic 
expert,  yet  a  candid  survey  of 
all  the  varipus  po^sitilities  leads 
one  to  the.  assurance  that  the 
combined  military  and  economic 
forces  of  the  free  nations  add  up 
to  a  much  more  efficient  total 
than  that  which  is  to  be  found 
on  the  side  of  enslavement.  Add 
to  this  the  intangible  but  most 
important  item  of  the  spirit  of 
men,  and  you  have  an  undefeat- 
able  combination  of  factors 
working  on  the  side  of  America 
and  our  allies.  It  will  take  he- 
roic measures,  but  our  nation 
has  heroic  spirit.  We  can  look 
with  confidence  to  the  future  of 
the  world,  not  merely  a  future 
of  survival,  but  a  future  of  con- 
quest. 

By  conquest  we  do  not  mean 
the  subjugation  of  our  enemies 
into  some  kind  of  colonial  en- 
slavement. We  mean  conquest 
in  terms  of  the  liberation  of  all 
men.  True,  we  cannot  liberate 
them  except  they  have  the  spir- 
it to  accept  liberty.  This  may  be 
slower  in  coming  to  certain  sec- 
tions of  the  world  than  to  others. 
Over  a  long  reach  of  time,  how- 
ever, we  may  be  confident  that 
increasingly  large  areas  of  the 
earth's  surface'  will  be  blessed 
with  the  institutions  of  free- 
dom. This  is  the  mark  of  prog- 
ress, and  progress  is  the  story 
of  the  liberated  soul. 

The  same  is  true  of  Milligan. 
Our  physical  assets  are  great. 
They  will  be  greater.  The  strin- 
gency through  which  we  pass 
this  year  is  no  new  experience 
in  the  life  of  colleges.  On  the 
contrary,  it  is  the  universal  ex- 
perience of  free  institutions. 
They  live  through  those  who 
have  confidence  in  their  services 
and  who  are  willing  to  risk  re- 
sources for  the  continuance  of 
those  services.  We  know  friends 
are  rallying  to  our  support.  We 
look  with  confidence  toward 
overcoming  this  present  diffi- 
culty. 

To  look  realistically  at  our 
condition  today  is  to  recognize 
the  tremendous  power  that  lies 
in  the  spirit  and  the  Ufe  which 
is  generated  at  Milligan.  No  one 
can  be  hero  for  four  years,  not 
even  two  years,  without  having 
imprinted  indelibly  upon  his 
character  those  qualities  that 
have  made  this  school  renowned. 
Survival   is   not  too  difficult 


It  IS  conquest  that  matters.  In 
education,  that  conquest  lies  in 
the  ability  of  the  faculty  to  in- 
sill  into  the  student  a  desire  to 
learn,  a  desire  to  serve,  a  desire 
to  live  worthily  of  life. 

The  conquest  toward  which 
we  look  is  not  one  of  mere  ex- 
istence. Rather  we  ask  at  Milli- 
gan for  a  conquest  of  ignorance, 
of  superstition,  of  evil,  of  pes- 
simism. We  believe  in  the  Prov- 
idence of  God  who  guides  the 
institutions  of  learning  which 
recognize  the  gospel  as  the  cen- 
ter, the  well-spring,  the  dyna- 
mite out  of  which  abundant  life 
proceeds. 

May  I  suggest  to  every  stu- 
dent  these    considerations. 

First,  use  all  the  time  you 
have  to  prepare  yourself  for 
life's  emergencies  in  the  college 
career.  You  will  be  tempted  to 
leave  many  times.  Discourage- 
ment comes,  the  crisis  of  war 
looms,  your  personal  resources 
diminish.  If  you  want  to.  you 
can  overcome  each  of  these  dif- 
ficulties. Not  long  ago.  a  Milli- 
gan graduate  told  me  that  he 
came  to  this  school  with  seven- 
ty-five cents  and  a  suitcase  full 
of  clothes.  He  stayed  four  years. 
He  graduated  with  distinction. 
His  career  has  been  worthy.  He 
is  proud  of  Milligan  and  grate- 
ful for  what  it  did  for  him,  and 
it  can  do  as  much  for  you  if  you 
have  the  willingness  and  the 
strength  of  soul  to  see  it 
through. 

Secondly,  let  me  suggest  that 
you  allow  others  to  help  you  in 
your  work  in  the  ways  which 
are  most  useful  to  you.  Let  your 
teachers  help  you.  They  want  to 
be  of  assistance  over  and  above 
the  noi-mal  course  of  duty.  Ask 
for  consultation.  Ask  for  special 
work.  Ask  for  guidimce.  Your 
fellow-students  can  help  you. 
Start  out  by  helping  one  of 
them,  then  you  have  a  claim. 
They  will  be  delighted  to  help 
you  if  they  think  their  help  is 
appreciated.  Let  your  Heavenly 
Father  help  you.  Pray  for  His 
guidance.  Worship  in  purity  of 
spirit.  Learn  the  spiritual  laws 
of  life.  Start  practicing  them. 
Finally,  set  your  eye  on  a  goal 
and  drive  toward  it.  In  so  doing, 
do  not  forget  that  many  things 
that  may  seem  irrelevant  to 
your  purpose  will  be  of  inval- 
uable aid  in  days  to  come.  The 
fact  that  English  grammar  may 
not  seem  too  important  to  an 
engineer  during  his  college  da>'s 
has  crippled  many  an  engineer 
after  his  college  days.  The  fact 
that  mathematics  seem  difficult 
to  a  ministerial  student  may 
cause  him  to  neglect  one  of  the 
most  beautiful  and  most  impor- 
tant factors  of  his  educational 
experience.  No  subject,  no  fact, 
no  principle  is  ever  without  use 
to  every  alert  mind  In  whatever 
career  he  may  follow.  Begin 
now  and  follow  it  through. 

We  have  just  begun  a  new 
year.  We  soon  begin  a  new  se- 
mester. This  can  be  the  most 
important  year  and  the  most 
significant  semester  of  your 
life.  It  will  be  such  it  you  set 
yourself  so  to  make  it. 

Best  wishes  in  this  endeavor.

A  recent  visitor  to  the  Milli- 
gan campus  was  Mrs.  Laura 
Clark  (Laura  Worrell).  Carroll 
Count>'.  Virginia.  This  is  Mrs. 
Clark's  first  visit  to  the  college 
in  48  years.  She  Is  an  aunt  of 
Mrs.  Stahl. 


Mrs.  Clark  was  31  years  old 
when  she  came  to  Milligan. 
Using  a  calf  from  her  farm  as 
security,  she  borrowed  five  dol- 
lars to  pay  her  first  expenses. 
She  obtained  work  in  a  nearby 
home  to  help  increase  her  in- 
come. When  her  income  became 
too  meager  to  meet  the'college 
expenses,  President  HopwoOd 
came  to  the  rescue.  In  a  letter 
to  her  mother,  September  22, 
1901,  Laura  wrote  the  following: 

"Professor  Hopwood  has  been 
over  several  times  and  he  is 
very  kind.  I  was  stringing  beans 
one  evening  when  he  came  and 
he  strung  beans  and  talked 
about  my  going  to  school.  He 
said.  ■'Girlie,  aren't  you  going 
to  school?  He  said  that  I  ought 
to  go  and  went  on  to  tell  about 
people  who  had  gotten  an  edu- 
cation after  they  were  25  and  30 
years  old.  Mrs.  Hopwood  shook 
hands  with  me  at  church  tonight 
and  said  I  must  come  up  often 
so  they  could  get  better  ac- 
quainted with  me.  Professor 
Hopwood  said  he  always  ,gave 
one  their  tuition  free  when 
there  were  as  many  as  twelve 
in  the  family.  So,  I  believe  that 
if  1  could  get  sewing  to  do  to 
pay  rent  for  a  room  and  some- 
thing to  live  on,  that  I  could  go 
to  school  all  right" 

Mrs.  Clark  had  two  sisters 
(Molly  and  Ola  Worrell)  and 
two  brothers  (Mont  and  Wise 
Worrell)  who  later  came  to 
Milligan.  In  recent  years,  two 
of  her  nephews  (Frank  and 
Jack  Cooley)  also  carried  on  the 
Milligan  tradition.

versity of  Tennessee  as  partial 
requirement  for  the  M.A.  de- 
gree. It  was  published  in  1950 
under  the  auspices  of  the  East

SPANISH  CLXJB 

A  rollicking  gay  fiesta  enliv- 
ened the  parlors  of  Hardin  Hall 
on  the  evening  of  January  10th, 
when  the  Milligan  College  Span- 
ish Club  entertained  the  Span- 
ish-and- all-things -Spanish  lov- 
ers of  East  Tennessee  State  Col- 
lege. The  parlors  were  all  deck- 
ed out  in  a  typically  colorful 
fashion,  and  a  fire  crackled 
brightly  in  the  fireplace.  Words 
of  welcome,  spoken  in  English 
by  president  Peggy  Young, 
greeted  State's  delegation  head- 
ed by  Jean  Wilson.  The  activi- 
ties of  the  evening  included 
Spanish  and  American  games, 
popping  popcorn  (a  pleasant 
custom  in  Spanish-speaking 
countries  too),  and  singing.  Now 
and  then  a  phrase  of  broken 
Spanish  managed  to  make  itself 
obvious. 

The  club  members  are  now 
working  on  plans  for  a  banquet 
to  be  held  in  March. 


Service  Seekers 

The  January  meeting  of  the 
Service  Seekers,  on  the  evening 
of  the  eleventh,  was  highlighted 
by  a  talk  by  President  Dean 
Walker  concerning  the  relative 
merits  of  technical  schools,  pro- 
fessional schools,  and  liberal 
arts  colleges.  President  Walker 
emphasized  the  superiority  of 
the  liberal  arts  college  in  offer- 
ing a  well-rounded  education  to 
the  young  person. 

Refreshments  were  served  at 
the  conclusion  of  the  talk,  as  the 
group  participated  in  an  infor- 
mal discussion  of  the  topic. 
Mary  Perry  presided  at  the 
meeting. 


Christian  Service  Club 

Turn-about  is  fair  play  and 
very  pleasant  too,  or  so  decided 
the  members  of  the  Christian 
Service  Club  as  they  sat  back 
at  the  meeting  last  Monday  (the 
22nd)  and  let  the  young  people 
from  the  East  Tennessee  Chris- 
tian Home  take  charge.  The 
service  was  inspirational  and 
well  attended;  and  the  club  is 
looking  forward  to  having  the 
group  back  again  soon. 


Phys.  Ed.  Club 

In  anticipation  of  the  many 
"hard  knocks"  ahead  of  the 
gr.iduating  students,  the  Phys. 
Ed.  Club  gave  its  senior  mem- 
bers an  appropriate  send-off  in 
the  form  of  a  roller  skating  par- 
ty, last  Thursday  night.  Januan.- 
18th.  In  spite  of  bruised  knees 
and    other    injuries    sustained.

in  Carter  County. 

Gene  Sutherland  resides  in 
Grundy,  Virginia.  His  major 
was  Business  Administration. 
Gene's  immediate  plans  are

Uncle  Sam  at  anytime.  However 
he  would  like  to  go  into  busi- 
ness as  soon  as  possible.

in  Milligan.  having  lettered  in 
football  and  baseball.  He  is  a 
World  War  II  veteran. 

those  who  participated  in  the 
fun  readily  agree  that  the  party 
was  a  hurting  success.

TRIP  WITH  VICTORY 

In  the  opening  contest  of  a

Bisons.  Lispcomb  is  considered 
the  top  quint  of  the  V.  S.  A.  C, 
especially  after  the  conquest  of 
the  tough  Vanderbilt  Commo- 
dores the  week  following  the 
Milligan  game. 

The  Bisons  jumped  to  an 
early  lead  and  were  never  head- 
ed, as  they  proved  that  they 
should  be  the  conference  lead- 
er. Scoring  honors  were  evenly 
divided  for  the  Nashville  quint, 
for  the  five  starters  all  collected 
more  than  ten  points  each ; 
Moneypenny,  the  big  pivot-man, 
led  the  way  with  15  counters. 

Sid  Hathaway  copped  scoring 
honors  for  both  quints  as  he 
bagged  20  points.  Milligan  sore- 
ly missed  the  efforts  of  Du- 
misinecz, stellar  guard,  who  sat 
out  this  contest  and  the  one' 
with  Cumberland,  due  to  a  leg 
injury. 

The  next  night,  the  Buffs 
dropped  a  64-58  decision  to 
Cumberland  University.  Midway 
in  the  first  half,  Milligan  held 
a  15-8  lead,  but  then  Bennett, 
Bulldog  sub,  hit  a  scoring 
splurge  and  pulled  his  team  up 
within  one  point,  32-31,  at  in- 
termission. 

The  Bulldogs  pulled  away  in 
the  last  half  to  ice  the  game. 
Bennett  and  Hathaway  each 
scored  23  points,  while  Pridon 
followed  Sid  with  15  counters. 

In  the  closing  game  of  the 
tour,  the  Herd  unleashed  a  wild 
scoring  spree  in  the  last  half  to 
overcome  the  Austin  Peay  Gov- 
ernors, 69-58. 

Dumisinecz  fired  the  Buffs 
off  to  a  fast  start  with  brilliant 
shooting,  as  he  peppered  the 
nets  with  12  points  in  the  first 
ten  minutes,  but  Austin  Peay 
grabbed  a  39-33  margin  by  half- 
time. 

It  was  a  different  slor>'  in  the 
second  half  as  the  Buffs,  led  by 


WIN  OVER   EMORY   AND   HENRY 

Back  in  the  friendly  confines  of  Cheek  gym,  Milligan 
trounced  Emory  and  Henry,  76-68,  for  the  second  S.  M.  A. 
C.  win  against  no  defeats. 

After  a  38-38  draw  at  intermission,  the  Buffs  wrapped  up 
the  victory.  The  Herd  was  paced  by  two  accurate  sharp- 
shooters. Hathaway  and  Dumisinecz,  with  23  and  19  points 
respectively.  Charlie  Harkins,  veteran  forward,  took  down 
16  for  the  Wasps. 

John  Ammerman  played  a  brilliant  defensive  game  as  he 
intercepted  pass  after  pass  and  : 

stole  the  ball  on  frequent  occa-  throws,  for  38  points!  Frank  Du-

losers  with  14  points  Union    had  vowed   to  win  this 


one  at  any  cost  because  of  the 
previous  upset,  and  it  seems 
they  did,  for  two  Buffs  received 
leg  injuries,  along  with  cut  lips 
and  a  black  eye.  A  total  of  79 
fouls  was  called — the  kind  of 
game  that  ought  to  be  played 
on  the  gridiron.  Milligan  com- 
pleted the  contest  with  only  4 
hoopsters  on  the  court  due  to 
fouls  and  injuries. 

"Woody"  Crum  led  Union  with 
19  points,  while  Frank  Dumis- 
inecz maintained  his  14  point 
per  game  average.  Sid  Hatha- 
way was  stopped  with  11  points, 
which  included  just  one  field 
goal,  as  he  was  battered  and 
fouled  under  the  bucket.  There's 
only  one  word  for  this  type  of 
ball — dirty! 

Travelling  to  Tusculum,  the 
Herd  stampeded  the  Pioneers  by 
a  72-54  count.  MUhgan  held  a 
32-25  half-time  advantage,  and 
then  pulled  away  in  the  last 
canto.  Paced  by  the  scoring  ef- 
forts of  Hathaway  and  Dumi- 
sinecz. who  tallied  27  points  be- 
tween them,  and  the  outstand- 
ing defensive  play  of  Ammer- 
man, the  Buffs  piled  up  a  lead, 
which  the  reserves  more  than 
maintained, 

The  second-stringers  played 
their  finest  ball  of  the  season 
as  they  padded  an  already  suf- 
ficient lead.  Glen  Boatright  led 
the  way  with  12  points,  as  ho 
continues  to  improve  with  each 
game. 

With  Sid  Hathaway  blistering 
the  hoops  for  32  points,  the  Buf- 
faloes smothered  the  Mar^-ville 
Highlanders.  90-61.  The  affair 
was  strictly  "no  contest,"  as  the 
Milliganites  rolled  to  n  51-26 
half-time  mnrgin.  Mar>'villo  at- 
tempted to  close  the  gap  in  the 
last  half,  but  to  no  avail, 

Milligan  even  appeared  slug- 
gish, never  being  pushed.  Pridon 
and  Dumisinecz  followed  Hath-

counters  apiece.

After  the  disastrous  results  of 
bowl  game  predictions,  I  have 
decided  to  devote  this  column 
entirely  to  sports  chatter  and 
leave  predictions  of  the  future 
to  those  who  gaze  into  crystal 
balls  or  read  lea  leaves. 

According  to  the  IstMt  N.  A- 
I.  B.  officisl  statiBtica,  Sid  Hath- 
away has  the  4th  highest  point 
average  per  game  in  the  nation. 
Over  350  schools  are  listed  in 
the  ratings.  Sid  ia  sporting  a 
sensational  24.5  average  for  11 
games.  He  has  compiled  a  field 
goal  percentag  e  ol  .482  and  a 
free  throw  percentage  of  .752. 
His  single  game  high  was  38 
against  L.  M.  U.  Here's  good 
luck,  Sid,  for  the  remainder  of 
the  season — keep  up  that  torrid 
pace! 

We  wish  to  acknowledge  loss 
to  the  armed  services  of  "Red" 
Mannes  from  the  basketball 
squad  and  Ed  Spraker.  Jack 
Brummit,  and  J.  T.  Moore  from 
the  "B"  outfit.  The  best  of  luck 
as  they  join  Uncle  Sam's  team. 

An  interesting  football  note 
(how  did  football  get  in  here?): 
Milligan  ranked  259th  in  the 
final  national  Williamson  Rating 
System.  The  Buffs  were  rated 
ahead  of  maior  colleges  such  as 
VPI,  Bradley,  Brigham  Young. 
Nevada,  and  NYU.  It  was  satis- 
fying to  note  that  our  rival.  East 
Tennessee  State,  was  mired  in 
596th  place.  338  notches  twlow 
Milliganl 

Are  just  professors  absent- 
minded?  Not  while  "Cat"  King 
IS  around.  Here's  a  prime  ex- 
ample— when  the  Buffs  trav- 
eled to  Bristol  for  the  King  Col- 
lege basketball  game,  manager 
Bill  King  went  along  to  keep 
things  moving  in  an  orderly 
fashion.  When  the  team  was 
ready  to  leave  the  dressing  room 
before  the  game,  Coach  Olds 
turned  to  Manager  King  and 
asked  for  the  basketballs. 
Startled.  Bill  replied.  "Coach,  I 
knew  I  forgot  something — I  left 
the  basketballs  at  home!"  Now 
you  see  why  coaches  get  old  and 
bald  before  their  time!

To  all  mermaids  and  mermen, 
here's  news  of  interest.  Heating 
coils  have  been  ordered  for  the 
swimming  pool  and  will  be  in- 
stalled as  soon  as  they  arrive. 

The  old  coils  were  no  longer 
usable,  due  to  the  fact  that  they 
were  corroded  by  acid  deposits. 
Realizing  that  the  swimming 
pool  plays  an  important  role  in 
the  physical  fitness  and  recrea- 
tional life  of  the  college.  Ray

Into  Thy  Hands 

Lord,  only  the  other  day 

Our  beloved  professor  Mathes  went  away. 

We'll  miss  his  friendly  counsel  and  his  broad  con- 
genial smile. 

And  being  only  human  would  have  held  him  yet  a 
while. 

But  Thou  in  Thy  eternal  plan 

Chose  to  take  this  humble  man 

To  ahappier,  greater  dwelling  place 

Where  someday  again  we'll  see  his  face. 

And  tho  he's  from  Milligan's  campus  gone 

His  dear  memory  will  linger  on. 

So  to  this,  Thy  servant,  we'll  say  good-bye 

Until  we  join  him  with  Thee  on  high.

"Crossing  The  Bar" 

Sunset  and  evening  star, 

And  one  clear  call  for  me! 
And  may  there  be  no  moaning  of  the  bar. 

When  I  put  out  to  sea. 

But  such  a  tide  as  moving  seems  asleep. 

Too  full  for  sound  and  foam, 
When  that  which  drew  from  out  the  boundless  deep 

■Turns  again  home.  > 

Twilight  and  evening  bell. 

And  after  that  the  dark! 
An  dmay  there  be  no  sadness  of  farewell, 

When  I  embark. 

For  though  from  out  our  bourne  of  Time  and  Place 

The  flood  may  bear  me  far, 
I  hope  to  see  my  Pilot  face  to  face 

When  I  have  crossed  the  bar.

missionary  to  India,  spoke  at  nn 
informal  gathering  in  the  par- 
lors of  Hardin  Hall  on  Feb.  9  at 
1  p.m.  It  is  most  unfortunate 
that  the  entire  student  body 
weren't  able  to  hear  the  vital 
message  that  he  presented  con- 
cerning the  work  of  Christ  that 
is  being  accomplished  in  far-off 
India.  Mr.  Schafcr  plans  to  leave 
for  this  foreign  land  within  tho 
next  several  months,  and  will

two  children.

Doraine  Renard  and  Ellis  Lu-

wherever  they  have  appeared. 
and  their  travels  have  taken 
them  through  twenty-three 
countries. 

These  young  artists,  in  a  few

WE  CANNOT  SEE  IT 

And  that  is  no  joke!  In  many  of  our 
classrooms,  the  light  (or  rather  lack  of  it) 
is  anything  but  conducive  to  either  atten- 
tiveness  or  study.  Psychologists  state  that 
90%  of  what  we  learn  is  through  what  we 
see.  If  this  be  true,  then  Milligan  students 
are  being  deprived  of  the  privilege  of 
learning,  especially  in  classes  where  ma- 
terial is  written  on  the  blackboard. 

We  realize  that  the  proper  spirit  and 
the  will  to  learn  are  very  important  in  a 
school,  but  we  also  know  that  a  school 
should  provide  at  least  the  bare  physical 
essentials  for  learning,  one  of  which  is  good 
lighting. 

Although  in  some  rooms  this  provision 
would  call  for  new  fixtures,  there  are  some 
rooms  in  which,  the  situation  could  be 
solved  merely  by  that  addition  of  floures- 
cent  tubes  and  higher  wattage  bulbs.  It 
probably  would  also  help  to  clean  the  re- 
flectors and  globes. 

Below  is  a  table  compiled  by  the  use  of 
a  photo-electric  meter,  and  giving  the 
measurement  of  the  light  in  each  room. 
Measurements  are  in  toot-candles,  being 
obtained  by  averaging  the  light  reflected 
from  a  book  toward  the  eyes,  in  at  least 
five  different  positions  in  the  room:  301 — 
L3.  304—1.2.  306—1.1. 307— .7.  308— .9.  114^ 
L2.  115— .8.  104—1.8.  106—1.6.  Economics 
Room — 1.4.  Business  Office — 1.8. 

Library:  Biography,  History,  Fiction

faithful  servant  in  the  education  of  youth. 
His  name  was  Mr.  James  A.  Tate,  a  mem- 
ber of  the  first  graduating  class  of  Milli- 
gan College.  Mr.  Tate  durmg  his  day  was 
a  well  known  educator  and  editor.  He  had 
many  friends  because  of  his  interest  in 
providing  a  good  education  for  the  future 
leaders  of  the  twentieth  century.  The 
James  A.  Tate  School  in  Shelbyville,  Ten- 
nessee stands  as  a  testimony  to  the  fact 
that  his  contribution  to  mankind  was  not 
insignificant. 

Similarly  the  contribution  of  Mr.  C. 
Todge  Mathes  will  not  soon  be  obscured 
by  time.  Many  folks,  young  and  old,  will 
carry  with  them  throughout  the  rest  of 
their  lives  something  of  Mr.  Mathes.  To 
really  serve  others  is  a  difficult  thing  to 
be  successful  in  achieving.  It  is  not  a  com- 
mon objective  among  the  majority  of  us, 
to  serve  others,  this  in  itself  makes  these 
two  educators  stand  out  head  and  shoul- 
ders above  the  multitude  of  their  constit- 
uents. It  isn't  the  ambitious,  go-getter  that 
thinks  of  helping  others,  nor  does  one  who 
is  constantly  striving  for  success  and  fame 
have  time  to  notice  the  good  which  he  can 
do  for  his  brother  along  the  way.  It  isn't 
praise  that  we  give  these  men  but  we  are 
giving  credit  where  credit  is  due. 


GONE,^  BUT  NOT  FORGOTTEN 

The  death  of  Professor  C.  Hodge  Mathes 
brings  to  mind  another  man  who  was  a 


ATTENTION! 

Some  of  us  at  one  time  or  another  are  in 
a  position  in  which  we  find  ourselves  the 
center  of  attention.  At  such  times  we  may 
have 'some  important  thing  to  say — im- 
portant to  us,  at  least — or  we  may  have 
something  we  want  to  get  across  to  our 
listeners.  We  expect  our  listeners  to  at 
least  show  some  attention  to  what  we  say 
whether  they  are  interested  or  not.  It  is 
somewhat  annoying  to  any  speaker,  in- 
cluding teachers,  to  have  some  people  in 
the  audience  who  create  a  disturbance  by 
talking,  heckling  and  bothering  some  oth- 
er member  of  the  audience.  It  would  be 
mighty  embarrassing  if  one  would  be  call- 
ed out  from  the  group  because  of  his  an- 
noying distractions. 

Another  angle  which  we  might  look  at 
briefly  is  the  consideration  of  our  fellow 
listeners.  Have  we  ever  been  listening  to 
the  radio,  reading  a  book  or  newspaper,  or 
trying  to  talk  over  the  telephone  with 
someone  pestering  us  for  our  attention? 
Well,  we  know  that  such  a  person  is  being 
rude  unless  there  is  an  emergency.  The 
same  principle  holds  true  m  any  kind  of 
an  audience.  The  least  that  is  expected  of 
us  is  to  refrain  from  being  a  nuisance. 
There  is  also  the  possibility  that  one's 
mental  growth  doesn't  permit  one  to  keep 
his  attention  upon  any  object  or  idea  with- 
out strain  for  more  than  a  few  minutes. 
Let's  have  some  semblance  of  attention  in 
chapel  and  classes.

How  To  Keep 

From  Growing 
Old 

Always  race  with  locomotives 
to  crossingn.  Engineers  like  iti  it 
breaks  the  monotony  of  their 
jobs. 

Always  pass  the  car  ahead  on 
curves  or  turns.  Don't  use  your 
horn,  it  may  unnerve  the  fellow 
and  cause  him  to  turn  out  too 
far. 

Demand  hall  the  road — the 
middle  half.  Insist  on  your 
rights. 

Always  speed;  it  shows  them 
you  are  full  of  pep  even  though 
an  amateur  driver. 

Never  stop,  look  or  listen  at 
railroad  crossings.  It  consumes 
time. 

Always  lock  your  brakes 
when  skidding.  It  makes  the 
job  more  artistic. 

In  sloppy  weather  drive  close 
to  pedestrians.  Dry  Cleaners  ap- 
preciate this. 

Never  look  around  when  you 
back  up,  there  is  never  anything 
behind  you. 

Drive  confidenlly,  just  as 
though  there  were  not  eighteen 
million  other  cars  in  service.

.   .    .    ABOUT    LEADERSHIP 

All  loo  often,  you  and  I  as 
students,  fail  to  give  much 
weight  lo  the  characteristics  of 
leadership.  More  often  than  not 
we  are  prone  to  sit  back  and  let 
someone  else  take  the  imtiauve. 
It's  easy  that  way. 

Yet,  sometimes  1  wonder  if  we 
are  not  overlooking  some  of  the 
values  of  leadership  that  could 
add  much  to  our  own  personal 
lives. 

Leadership,  it  is  true,  can  be 
an  innate  characteristic,  but  it 
can  also  be  developed  m  the  in-  , 
dividuaL  The  professions  and 
vocations  for  which  we  now 
strive  to  prepare  ourselves  will 
eventually  bring  us  into  contact 
and  association  with  scores  of 
people.  Thus,  regardless  of  our 
wishes,  someone  will  be  looking 
to  each  of  us  for  guidance  and 
example.  We  will  have  to  take 
the  imtiative  to  make  this  ex- 
ample a  good  one.  If  we  are  to 
influence  our  associates  in  a 
constructive  manner,  if  we  are 
to  help  other  people  realize  their 
ambitions  and  goals,  then  wc 
must  prepare  ourselves  NOW 
for  the  task.  In  order  to  realize 
some  of  our  ideab  and  objec- 
tives we  should  endeavor  to  as- 
certain and  develop  the  attri- 
butes peculiar  of  a  good  leader. 

Certainly,  here  at  Milligan, 
we  are  afforded  an  excellent 
opportunity  to  develop  leader- 
ship qualities,  and  by  so  doing 
we  will  not  only  enrich  our  own 
lives,  but  we  will  also  contribute 
to  the  solution  of  school  and 
student  problems. 

The  result  of  such  an  attitude 
on  the  part  of  our  student  body 
will  make  Milligan  a  more  en- 
joyable place  in  which  to  live 
and  study.

MILLIGAN    MEMENTOS 

by  KITTY  RAE  IRVIN 

Before  we  shed  our  winter  coats, 

Before  the  last  gray  snow  departs. 

A  sudden  thrills  runs  round  the  world — 

The  spring  comes  first  in  people's  hearts. 
We  know  that  it  has  only  been  a  short  while  since 
Christmas,  and  yet  it  seems  that  spring  has  already  come 
tripping  in.  The  class  rooms  and  dorms  seem  suddenly  to 
have  lost  their  attraction,  as  grassy  spots  lure  classes  out- 
doors and  broad  roads  fill  with  carloads  of  joy-riders. 
Morning  begins  again  to  dawn  with  the  chirping  of  birds. 
"Please"  signs  pop  up  out  of  nowhere!  The  bulbs  planted 
in  our  flower  beds  will  soon  spill  over  with  their  wealth  of 
bright  colors.  Just  so  a  heart  may  spill  over  with  a  love 
affair  which  has  been  planted  there  in  an  unguarded  mo- 
ment. These  are  the  signs  of  spring. 

With  all  this  lovely  time  and  space  around  us  every- 
where, why  should  we  clutter  up  our  lives  with  discontent, 
vexation,  and  worry?  Blue  belongs  in  the  sky  in  spring;  it 
is  ever  so  much  more  becoming  there.  If,  while  we  are 
cleaning  our  bureau  drawers,  we  would  take  time  out  to 
sit  down  and  clean  the  confusion  from  our  minds,  we 
might  discover  there  thoughts  as  long  mislaid  as  many  of 
the  articles  we  find  in  our  drawers.  Then,  as  we  toss  off 
our  jackets,  we  will  find  that  while  spring  comes  bringing 
gifts  for  all,  she  has  brought  her  magic  happiness  most  of 
all  to  us, 

tember  of  this  year. 

Now  a  junior.  Arthur  acquired 
a  record  of  all  "A's".  with  the 
exception  of  one  "B",  during  his 
first  two  years  at  Milligan. 

Arthur  has  been  given  a  $125 
scholarship  this  year  for  his  re-

Puerto  Rican  Royalty 
Now  Student  At 
MilUgan 

Let  us  project  ourselves  for 
awhile,  if  you  will,  to  the  sunny, 
romantic  isle  of  Puerto  Rico.  It 
is  June  of  1950,  and  we  are  in 
San  Juan,  the  seat  of  the  Puerto 
Rican  government.  The  capital 
has  just  recently  turned  its  at- 
tention to  the  lighter  side  of 
preparation  for  the  two  day 
celebration  of  the  Lion's  Club 
of  this  country.  Highlighting  the 
gala  occasion  is  the  selection  of 
"Queen  of  the  Island"  for  1950. 

Representatives  of  the  many 
clubs  throughout  the  Island  are 
arriving  with  their  respective 
candidates    who    will    soon    vie 


into  the  past  as  we,  exceedingly 
happy  that  Maria  is  the  new 
Queen  of  the  Island,  say  fare- 
well to  it 

Maria  Mayol,  Milligan  junior, 
is  one  of  four  Puerto  Ricans 
who  are  currently  enrolled  at 
the  college.  Although  Maria  is 
a  newcomer  to  East  Tennessee, 
she  has  already  endeared  her- 
self to  the  student  body  by  her 
sunny  smile  and  gracious  per- 
sonality. Maria's  fellow  Puerto 
Ricans  here  at  Milhgan  include 
Cayita  Pagan,  Ana  Traverzo, 
and  Joaquin  Segarra,  all  of 
whom  we  are  likewise  proud  to 
add  to  the  ever  increasing  num- 
ber of  students  who  have  come 
from  the  beautiful  isle  in  the 
West  Indies  to  become  members 
of  the  Milligan  family,  and  to 
share  in  the  rich  experience  of 
our  college  life,  as  we  search 
together  for  knowledge. 


STAMPEDE'S  STUDENTS  OF  THE  YEAR 

SENIOR  CLASS 


MARIA  LUISA  MAYOL 

for  the  coveted  place  of  honor 
as  "Queen  of  the  Island."  We 
are  particularly  interested  in 
the  candidate  from  San  Sebas- 
tian, for  it  is  our  own  Maria 
Luisa  Mayol  (Icha),  who  carries 
our  hopes  and  wishes  for  suc- 
cess. 

We  learn  that  Maria  has  ar- 
rived in  San  Juan  accompanied 
by  her  sister  and  brother-in-law. 
and  that  they  have  registered 
at  the  Carioe  Hilton,  a  new  ho- 
tel in  the  Hilton  Chain  of  Amer- 
ica. .  .  . 

The  hours  preceding  the  oc- 
casion for  which  Maria  has  come 
are  filled  with  many  activities, 
most  important  of  which  are 
luncheon  at  the  Escambrion 
Beach  Club,  and  an  afternoon 
modelling  date  sponsored  by 
several  of  San  Juan's  exclusive 
shops. 

Festivities  of  the  evening  are 
to  be  set  in  motion  by  the  for- 
mal introduction  of  some  twen- 
ty-five fair  daughters  of  the 
island,  all  candidates  for  the 
crown,  followed  by  the  corona- 
tion of  the  new  queen.  The  re- 
tiring queen  will  then  be  intro- 
duced, following  which  will  be 
the  presentation  of  a  beautiful 
bouquet  of  carnations  to  the 
new  queen. 

The  eagerly  awaited  moment 
arrives  as  the  governor  draws  a 
card  from  the  container  holding 
the  names  of  the  candidates.  A 
Hushed  silence  falls  on  the  huge 
gathering  as  he  announces  the 
name  of  the  1950  "Queen  of  the 
Island."  It  is  that  of  Maria  Lu- 
isa Mayol.  Immediately  Gisela, 
Queen  of  1949,  places  the  crown 
upon  the  head  of  "Icha."  her 
successor,  and  the  press  repre- 
sentative presents  our  new 
queen  with  the  bouquet  of  car- 
nations. Queen  Maria  steps  for- 
ward to  join  her  escort  of  the 
evening,  and  together  they  be- 
gin the  dancing  festivities. 

The  final  hours  of  the  Queen's 
stay  in  San  Juan  arc  busily  oc- 
cupied witli  personal  appear- 
ances at  special  parties  and  ban- 
quets given  in  her  honor.  The 
fleeting  moments  of  the  unfor- 
gettable occasion  are  fast- fading

FORMER   STAMPEDE 
EDITOR  EXCELS  IN  WORK 
AT  SYRACUSE  UNIVERSITY 

Recent  word  reaches  us  that 
Claude  Calloway,  class  of  1950, 
hos  been  recognized  in  the  syl- 
labus published  by  the  Syracuse 
University  School  of  Journalism 
in  which  appears  all  current 
reading  required  of  their  stu- 
dents in  the  field  of  Religious 
Journalism.  Claude's  contribu- 
tions include  two  papers,  one 
on  "Isaac  Errett"  and  the  other 
on  the  "Christian  Standard." 

This  news  is  of  unusual  note 
when  considering  that  Calloway 
is  a  comparative  newcomer  in 
this  field  and  yet  has  succeeded 
in  placing  his  work  among  that 
of  writers  of  long  experience. 
Such  an  auspicious  start  sen-es 
to  indicate  that  we  shall  be 
hearing  more  and  more  of  this 
young  journahst. 


Spanish  Club 

The  party-loving  Spanish 
peoples  have  nothing  on  our 
own  Milligan  College  Spanish 
Club,  which  just  had  another  of 
its  many  parties;  this  time  a 
"Fiesta  para  Amigos."  in  honor 
of  the  dub  members  who  have 
entered  the  service,  namely,  Ray 
Carter  and  Jim  T.  Moore.  The 
group  spent  part  of  the  evening 
addressing  post  cards  to  these 
two  absent  members;  then,  be- 
cause the  "fiesta"  appropriately 
fell  on  Quin  Segarra's  birthday, 
(Feb.  7).  the  club  made  merry 
in  his  honor,  with  the  help  of 
songs  and  cake,  plus  the  extras. 

Christian  Service  Club, 

Ask  anyone  who  knows,  an? 
he'll  tell  you  what  a  huge  suc- 
cess the  Christian  Service  Club 
banquet  turned  out  to  be!  Feb- 
ruary 12  was  the  night,  and  the 
place  was  the  Roan  Restaurant. 
The  tables  were  appropriately 
and  beautifully  decorated  in  the 
spirit  of  Valentine's  Day.  (the 
sentiment  of  which  without  a 
doubt  lent  much  atmosphere  to 
the  occasion!) 

Master  of  Ceremonies  was 
Marshall  Leggett.  and  Bob  Rhea 
led  the  group  in  spirited  sing- 
mg.  If  laughter  aids  digestion 
there  wasn't  one  upset  stomach 
in  the  group  after  the  guest  en- 
tertainer, Mr.  George  W.  Ann- 
brister.  from  Bristol,  performed 
several  pantomines  in  costume, 
ond  aimed  some  much-appreci- 
ated comments  in  the  direction 
of  the'  faculty  table.  (Could  the 
fact  that  Mr.  Armbrister  sat 
right  next  to  Prof.  Edwards  ' 
have  anything  to  do  with  the 
personal  touch  evident  in  these 
"comments"?) 

The  evening  was  highlighted 
by  a  brief  word  from  Pres.  Wal- 
ker concerning  Christian  living 
in  an>'  vocation.  E\'eryone  who 
attended  the  banquet  is  already 
anticipating  the  affair  next 
year. 


Service  Seekers 

The  Scn.'ice  Seekers  held  their 
February  meeting  on  the  eve- 
ning of  the  8th.  with  Mrs. 
Hedger  as  guest  speaker.  Mrs. 
Hedger  gave  her  \'iews  on  the 
place  and  work  of  the  church 
sccrctar>'.  a  subject  on  which 
she  ii.  well  qualified  to  speak.

THE  STAMPEDE 


TUESDAY,  MARCH  6,  1951 


BUFFS  CLOSE  HOOP  SEASON 


LET'S  CLEAN  HOUSE! 

Collegiate  basketball  needs  a  thorough  house-cleaning! 
This  fact  has  been  emphasized  by  three  major  scandals  this 
season.  Early  in  the  year,  Manhattan  College  was  involved 
in  a  scandal  and  now  City  College  of  New  York  has  become 
entangled  in  the  gamblers'  vicious  web. 

News  of  the  C.  C.  N.  Y.  disgrace  startled  hoop  fans  from 
coast  to  coast.  Last  year,  the  "Beavers"  were  the  toast  of 
the  basketball  world:  their  sophomore-studded  outfit  swept 
both  the  National  Invitational  and  N.  C.  A.  A.  tournaments. 
That  was  a  feat  never  before  accomplished  in  hoop  his- 
tory. The  C.  C.  N.  Y.  hoopsters  were  acclaimed  as  national 
champs — one  of  the  finest  cage  groups  ever  assembled. 
They  seemed  a  "shoo-in"  to  cop  national  honors  again  this 
season. 

However,  City  College  lost  ball  games — by  close  mar- 
gins. The  "Beavers"  dropped  out  of  the  lime-light  of  fame, 
only  to  be  thrust  back  into  the  light  of  infamy.  The  district 
attorney  of  New  York  revealed  that  Ed  Warner  and  Ed 
Roman,  two  outstanding  Ail-Americans,  and  Al  Roth,  all 
first-stringers,  had  been  "throwing"  ball  games.  What  hap- 
pened there  is  no  doubt  happening  in  other  instances. 

Gambling  has  so  cast  its  ominous  shadow  over  basket- 
ball that  teams  cannot  but  be  aware  of  the  "point  spreads" 
quoted  for  their  hardwood  contests  by  the  betting  gentry. 
Gamblers  approach  players  and  attempt  to  bribe  them — all 
that  the  player  has  to  do  is  see  that  his  team  doesn't  win 
by  more  than  the  number  of  points  specified  by  the  odds 
makers  or  make  sure  that  his  team  loses  by  more  than  the 
number  of  points  given  on  parlays.  It  is  just  that  simple — 
you  can  still  win  for  dear  old  alma  mater,  but  don't  win  by 
two  many  points! 

Gambling  thrives  in  New  York,  but  it  is  a  menace 
wherever  there  are  "bookies"  and  gamblers.  The  coUeges 
are  not  at  fault,  but  bigtime  gambling  is.  It  is  capable  of 
tightening  its  tenacles  so  that  the  true  spirit  of  basketball 
will  be  strangled,  because  athletics  are  becoming  big  busi- 
ness and  gambling  is  going  along  hand  in  hand  with  this 
trend. 

Why  can't  basketball  clean  house  and  return  to  a  fresh, 
competitive  basis? 


Being  eliminated  from  the 
Smoky  Mountain  Conference 
Tournament  by  Emory  and  Hen- 
ry, the  tired  Buffs  rang  down 
the  curtam  on  the  cage  season. 
Hampered  by  the  loss  of  play- 
ers, the  Herd's  strength  was  sap- 
ped, which  all  added  up  to  one 
thing:  a  mediocre  campaign. 

Since  the  close  of  last  year, 
Milhgan  lost  the  use  of  these 
eligible  performers:  Kenny  Hy- 
der,  Dick  Kennedy,  Ray  Forbes, 
Frank  Duraisinecz,  Sara  Pndon, 
Dick  Cook,  and  Pat  Ellis.  That's 
quite  an  ensemble!  This  left  a 
burden  on  the  shoulders  of  the 
subs  and  Capt.  Sid  Hathaway, 
the  only  returning  regular. 

Sid  climaxed  the  season  in  a 
blaze  of  glory  as  he  copped  66 
points  in  three  tournament 
games.  His  seasonal  total  was 
574;  his  four  year  total  amount- 


ed to  1,983,  the  8th  highest  total 
in  basketball  history. 

The  Buffs  will  need  some  new 
blood  next  year  to  improve  the 
9-16  record  of  this  past  season. 
However,  it  is  impossible  to 
count  on  anything  in  the  future 
due  to  the  international  situa- 
tion; Uie  manpower  of  every 
college  will  be  drained. 

Here's  the  solution  to  MiUi- 
gan's  problem!  Find  and  recruit 
five  potential  young  hoopsters 
over  6'  6"  (which  eliminates 
them  from  the  draft!)  and  there 
you  have  a  nucleus  for  a  whiz- 
bang  outfit,  according  to  modern 
collegiate  standards!  This  group 
would  be  able  to  control  both 
backboards,  sink  easy  crip  shots, 
block  passes  and  shots — in  short, 
everything!  Sounds  good  on  pa- 
per, doesn't  it?  Now,  just  find 
those  five!!

BID  HATHAWAY 


Mlilligan  bids  farewell  to  Sid- 
"ney  Hathaway,  one  of  the  finest 
athletes  evej-  produced  in  this 
area.  The  versatile  captain 
leaves  behind  an  enviable  rec- 
ord, so  it  is  only  fitting  that  he 
be  paid  due  tribute  at  the  close 
of  this  basketball  season. 

Sid.  a  native  of  Elizabethton. 
Tennessee,  has  overcome  the 
handicap  which  faces  every 
short  fellow  in  basketball,  the 
tall  man's  game.  He  is  only 
5'10",  but  his  170  pounds  are 
well-packed  on  that  frame. 
Even  though  he  is  small,  Sid  is 
blessed  physically,  being  well- 
coordinated,  shifty,  fast,  and 
possessing  a  strong  arm.  in  ad- 
dition to  an  accurate  eye.  This 
last  factor  has  made  him  a  high 
scorer  in  basketball  and  an  out- 
standing hitter  in  baseball 

Although  a  large  portion  of 
this  personal  portrait  will  be  de- 
voted to  Sid's  hoop  prowess,  his 
talents  in  the  realm  of  the  dia- 
mond must  be  mentioned.  His 
name  now  adorns  the  roster  of 
Rochester,  in  the  AAA  Interna- 
tional League.  In  his  first  two 
years  of  pro  ball,  he  has  consis- 
tently clouted  better  than  .325. 
Sid  is  not  a  long  ball  slugger, 
but  he  is  a  timely  clutch  hitter. 
His  fleotness  afoot  often  adds 
those  valuable  extra  bases.  Be- 
ing a  polished  glove  man  and 
nimble  on  the  field,  he  is  equal- 
ly at  home  in  the  infield  or  out- 
field. However,  he  displays  his 


talents  to  the  best  advantage  in 
the  center-field  slot.  The  con- 
sensus of  opinion  is  that  Sid  is 
destined  for  the  majors.  If  Uncle 
Sam  doesn't  get  him,  watch  out 
for  Sid  Hathaway  with  the  St 
Louis  Cards! 

It  is  fortunate  that  the  Smoky 
Mountain  Conference  allows 
professionals  in  one  field  of 
athletics  to  engage  in  amateur 
competition  in  another,  for  this 
has  given  Milligan  a  lift  in  bas- 
ketball, even  though  Sid  is  a 
pro  baseball  player.  In  fact,  Sid 
has  given  the  Buffs  such  a  lift 
during  his  4-year  career,  that 
his  name  is  almost  synonomous 
with  "Mr.  Basketball"  in  this 
sector. 

It  is  not  difficult  to  write  con- 
cerning Sid's  ability,  for  it  is 
easy  to  describe  his  exceptional 
talent.  First  of  all,  one  roust  not 
assume  that  because  of  his  bet- 
ter than  21  points -per -game  av- 
erage that  he  is  only  a  high 
scorer — that  is  far  from  the 
truth.  He  is  a  tight  defensive 
man,  an  aggressive  ball-hawk; 
he  follows  his  shots  up  for  pos- 
sible rebounds  (there  aren't  too 
many!);  he  is  a  sharp  passer  and 
floor  man;  in  other  words,  he  is 
a  versatile  ball  player!  His  ag- 
gressive style  is  an  inspiration 
to  his  team,  for  he  is  always 
pushing.  In  fact,  he  is  so  aggres- 
sive that  many  times  ho  leaves 
the  game  with  five  personals. 
This  is  not  stated  to  his  discredit 
— it  is  merely  the  result  of  his 


type  of  play  and  the  all-con- 
suming desire  to  win. 

His  versatility  is  carried  over 
into  the  scoring  column,  for  Sid 
has  mastered  many  different 
shots.  Varied  types  of  port-side 
shots  (he  is  a  southpaw)  have 
an  uncanny  knack  of  swishing 
the  nets  for  him.  He  bags  seem- 
ingly impossible  buckets  from 
impossible  angles  and  positions. 
During  his  first  three  years,  he 
played  the  comer  position  and 
used  to  advantage  his  most  po- 
tent weapon,  a  left-handed  hook 
shot  However,  this  season,  he 
has  proven  even  more  adept  at 
hitting  set  shots  from  far  out, 
one-handers  from  the  foul  cir- 
cle, and  "drive-ins"  under  the^ 
bucket  ' 

His  first  three  years  found 
him  teamed  up  with  Kyle  Mid- 
dleton  and  Kermy  Hyder  as 
knockout  blows,  while  this  sea- 
son he  and  Frank  Dumisinecz 
have  provided  the  scoring 
punch.  At  the  end  of  his  second 
year,  he  had  accumulated  935 
points.  He  added  473  points  in 
his  junior  year  and  this  season 
he  counted  491.  not  including 
the  Maryville  game  and  at  least 
four  games  in  the  two  touma- 
merits.  (He  scored  26  points 
against  State  in  his  debut  at  the 
V.  8.  A.  C.  tournament!)  His 
cumulative  total  far  exceeds 
1.900  points  for  his  4->'car  ten- 
ure, which  places  him  as  the  9th 
highest  scorer  in  the  history  of 
l>asketball!!!  His  name  will  be

In  the  spring  a  young  man's 
fancy  turns  to  thoughts  of — 
yes.  you  guessed  it! — baseball 
and  tennis.  Already  with  the 
first  warm  weather,  the  base- 
ball and  tennis  enthusiasts  her- 
ald the  approach  of  spring  and 
their    respective    sports. 

By  the  way.  here's  a  hot  tip! 
The  Buff  tennis  team  is  loaded 
this  year — keep  your  eye  on  this 
page  in  the  next  issue  of  'The 
Stampede"  for  the  inside  dope. 

David  Lipscomb  College  gain- 
ed prestige  for  the  Volunteer 
State  Athletic  Conference  by 
toppling  tough  Vanderbilt  The

ment 

The  Milligan  "Deacons"  pull- 
ed an  upset  by  lacing  Johnson 
Bible  CoUege,  53-47. 

The  girls  basketball  team,  op- 
erating unofficially,  challenged 
the  State  lassies — the  result  was 
a  thrilling  spectacle!  Don't  ask 
me  who  won! 

Kyle  Middleton,  *50.  a  four- 
letter  stalwart  is  now  cavort- 
ing for  the  Wrays  Shoppers  of 
Knoxville,  a  fast  independent 
outfit  He  is  now  employed  in 
Boy  Scout  work. 

Ray  Forbes,  whose  athletic 
career  was  side-lined  by  Cupid, 
is  now  manager  of  a  federal 
loan  office  in  Kentucky. 

The  Buffs  and  Middle  Teimes- 
see  collaborated  to  score  a  total 
of  199  points  in  one  game.  That's 
quite  a  rash  of  points  very  sel- 
dom seen  by  hoop  fans. 

Congratulations  to  T.  P.  Jones 
for  his  fine  work  as  editor  of  "P. 
E.  Talk" — he  makes  an  excellent 
contribution  to  the  Phys  Ed 
Department 

"Dumi"  and  T.  P.  show  great 
potentiality  and  promise  as 
whistle- looters.  There's  two 
budding  officials  who  won't  be- 
come blooming  idiots! 


Good  News! 

Another  suggestion  has  borne 
fruit!  The  minstrel  cast  has  de- 
cided to  perform  again  in  order 
that  sufficient  funds  might  be 
gathered  for  the  purchasing  of 
the  tennis  nets.  Since  this  must 
be  done  after  the  choir  returns 
from  tour.'  the  administration  is 
backing  the  project  by  obtain- 
ing the  nets  now  and  then  being 
reimbursed  by  the  minstrel 
profits  at  a  later  date.  This  plan 
has  been  completed  in  order 
that  the  tennis  nets  might  be 
available  as  soon  as  possible. 
Thanks  for  the  splendid  cooper- 
ation! 

entered  in  the  records  of  the  all- 
time  greats  at  the  conclusion  of 
this  hardwood  campaign. 

There's  no  doubting  the 
brightness  of  this  star  —  the 
name  of  Sid  Hathaway  will  long 
be  remembered  at  Milligan  Col- 
lege. Here's  good  luck  to  you, 
Sid!  May  you  be  just  as  suc- 
cessful in  the  game  of  life!

coming choir  tour  and  an  appearance  at  the  North  Amer- 
ican Christian  Convention  at  Springfield,  111.,  April  27. 
Members  of  the  quartet,  from  left  to  right,  are  Wm.

If  you  have  tieen  hearmg  ref-

College  Swimming  Club,  you'll 
know  it's  just  the  new  title  of 
the  Buffalo  Ramblers,  adopted 
just  after  their  memorable  hay- 
nde  of  March  7.  On  a  tractor-

about  twenty-five  optimistic

encountered  during  his  years  of 
practice. 

The  club  is  making  plans  for 
its  annual  banquet  to  be  held 
on  the  evening  of  April  28,  at 
the  General  Shelby  Hotel  in 
Bristol.  The  theme  of  the  event 
will  be  "Bones,"  and  the  menu 
will  feature  (you  guessed  it) 
T-bone  steaki 


A.A.C.  List  Includes 
Two  Milligan  Seniors 

According  to  Dean  Sahli,  Nel- 
ta  Hyder  and  Paul  Conkin  have 
been  nominated  by  the  College 
Faculty  for  inclusion  in  the  As- 
sociation of  American  College's 
list  of  prospective  college  teach- 
ers. 

This  honor,  which  goes  to  a 
very  limited  number  of  college 
seniors  annually  marks  them  as 
having  had  outstanding  college 
records  and  as  being  capable  of 
becoming  good  college  teachers. 
The  purpxise  of  this  recognition 
is  to  draw  tho  better  students 
into  college  teaching. 

When  an  institution,  such  as 
Milligan,  nominates  n  student 
for  this  position,  it  obligates  it- 
self to  use  special  cftbrt  to  gain 
admission  for  that  student  into 
one  of  tho  bettor  graduate 
schools  of  tho  country,  and  to 
assist  them  in  gaining  scholar- 
ship awards  from  these  schools. 

The  names  of  Nelta  and  Paul 
will  be  among  those  published 
in   a   forthcoming   issue   of   the 


Stuckenbruck 
Joins  Faculty 

Ear!  Stuckenbruck,  a  recently 
returned  missionary  from  Tu- 
bingen, Germany,  has  assumed 
the  role  of  teacher  of  German 
courses  here  at  Milligan.  Mr. 
Stuckenbruck,  who  returned 
with  his  wife  to  this  country  in 
December  of  last  year  is  filling 
the  position  left  vacant  by  the 
death  of  Prof.  Mathes. 

Mr.  Stuckenbruck,  who  was 
engaged  in  a  missionsiry  project 
for  the  European  Evangelistic 
Society  of  which  Dr.  Walker  is 
president,  was  working  toward 
the  establishment  of  a  school 
for  the  training  of  Christian 
Church  ministers.  The  school  is 
to  be  located  in  Tubingen,  Ger- 
many, which  is  a  favorable  lo- 
cation because  of  the  proximity 
of  the  University  of  Tubingen, 
renowned  for  its  Faculty  of  The- 
ology. This  location  will  allow 
any  ministerial  student  to  attend 
the  courses  in  the  Faculty  of 
Theology. 

Prof.  Stuckenbruck  states, 
"There  is  a  need  for  a  mission 
of  this  kind  which  proposes  to 
recall  Christendom  to  the  foun- 
dation of  the  Church  in  Christ 
because  so  much  of  Christianity 
has  acquired  elements  which  are 
alien  to  the  original  traditions 
of  the  church  according  to  the 
New  Testament  Our  plans  are 
to  encourage  churches  to  take 
an  active  interest  in  this  mis- 
sion so  that  it  may  have  ade- 
quate facilities,  particularly  the 
building  and  chapel  for  the 
school.  We  expect  to  return  to 
Tubingen  as  soon  as  this  pro- 
gram is  assured." 

Mr.  Stuckenbruck  acquired  his 
A.B.  degree  from  the  University 
of  Kansa-s.  and  in  1946  he  re- 
ceived his  B.D.  degree  from  But- 
ler University  School  of  Re- 
ligion. His  wife,  originally  from 
Florida,  received  her  A.B.  de- 
gree from  Butler  University. 
Previous  to  their  two-year  stay 
in  Germany,  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Stuckenbruck  studied  for  two 
years  in  the  University  o(  Bir- 
mingham in  England.  His  wife 
and  two  children  plan  to  join 
him  here  shortly.

spoke  from  his  own  experiences, 
citing  several  interesting  cases 


Spanish  Club 

The  Spanish  Club  all  but  look 
over  the  Johnson  City  Country 
Club  on  the  night  of  March  9 
for  its  banquet,  wkich  stands 
high  on  the  list  of  events  to  be 
remembered.  T.  P.  Jones  made 
an  unbeatable  toastmaster.  The 
varied  and  excellent  entertain- 
ment was  furnished  by  George 
Eiche  (of  local  radio  fame)  at 
the  piano,  a  group  from  Erwin 
specializing  in  pantomimes, 
(Benny  Smith.  Milligan  of  '50, 
was  in  this  group),  and  a  piano 
duo  from  State  College.

cluding alumni,  churches, 
schools,  and  prospective  stu- 
dents. 

Pres.  Walker  is  serving  as 
editor  of  the  paper,  and  is  be- 
ing assisted  by  a  committee  of 
the  faculty.  Prof.  Lewis  is 
handling  the  printing.  The  new 
publication,  which  is  expected 
to  contribute  considerably  In 
making  Milligan  well  -  known 
both  in  the  local  area  and  among 
its  more  distant  friends  is  to  be 
issued  six  times  during  the  cal- 
endar year. 

The  first  issue  includes  an 
editorial  by  Dr.  Walker,  a  finan- 
cial statement,  a  tribute  to  Prof. 
Mathes,  and  articles  on  tho  ar- 
rival of  Mr.  Stuckenbruck.  the 
choir  tour  and  the  district  tour- 
ney of  the  National  Forensic 
League,  which  is  to  be  held  here 
at  Milligan.  Among  other  in-

Concert  and  Lecture  Series,  and 
an  article  telling  of  the  various 
trips  taken  by  Dr.  Walker,  Dean

Milligan  Students 
Enjoy  Trip  To  Circus 

On  the  evening  of  March  19th, 
the  entire  student  body  of  Mil- 
ligan College  enjoyed  a  "Circus 
Party"  in  Cheek  Hall,  sponsored 
and  planned  by  the  various  club 
presidents.  The  party  was  car- 
ried out  in  true  circus  style,  and 
featured  barkers,  sideshows,  and 
clowns. 

The  Pre-Med  Club,  besides 
placing  Tom  Long  in  a  cage  as 
"Constance,  the  Snake-eater," 
was  responsible  for  a  weight- 
lifting  act.  The  Spanish  Club, 
which  promoted  a  side-show, 
was  also  responsible  for  a  fake 
disrobing  act,  which  kept  every- 
one, even  Cayita  Pagan,  in 
stitches.  And  a  rope-walking 
act  was  put  on  by  the  clowns: 
Tom  Hawes,  Janet  Catlett,  and 
Slick  Wall.  A  circus  band,  led 
by  Ringmaster  Robert  Perry 
Rhea,  lended  the  finishing  touch 
to  the  circus  atmosphere. 

A  $5  first  prize  award  went 
to  the  "M"  Club  for  its  "Variety 
Show"  which  featured  the  top 
performers  in  the  entertainment 
field,  and  a  $3  second  prize 
award  was  given  to  the  Pre-Med 
Club  for  its  "snake-eater"  act. 

Nelta  Hyder  is  the  one  to 
whom  the  greatest  amount  of 
credit  is  due  for  the  success  of 
this  long  -  to  -  be  -  remembered 
party.  She  was  assisted  by  a 
food  committee  consisting  of 
Marion  Elliott  and  Paul  Conkin, 
and  a  decoration  conrmiittee  con- 
sisting of  Peggy  Young  and 
Charlotte  Hobbs.  Special  men- 
tion is  here  given  of  the  fact 
that  the  entire  amount  of  pop- 
corn was  graciously  donated  by 
the  management  of  the  Majestic 
and  Liberty  Theatres  of  Johnson 
City. 


Cheerfulness  is  what  greases 
the  axles  of  tho  world.  Some 
people  go  through  life  creaking.

BORN  IN  CHINA 

Marjbel  Bare  was  born  in 
Kunming,  West  China,  on  July 
21,  1932.  Her  parents.  Dr.  and 
Mis.  Norton  H.  Bare,  were  med- 
ical missionaries  to  Tibet.  The 
lirst  eight  years  of  her  child- 
hood were  spent  in  various  mis- 
sionary stations  along  the  Chi- 
nese-Tibetan border.  This  mis- 
sion field  is  often  referred  to 
as  the  "Roof  of  the  world."  Two 
years  were  spent  at  Yen  Chin 
where  they  were  joined  by  oth- 
er missionaries.  Due  to  increase 
in  the  number  of  workers  for 
Christ  the  lama  priests  drove 
them  out 

Lamaism  or  Buddhism  is  the 
chief  religion  in  Tibet  There 
are  many  lama  priests  and  lam- 
aseries. 

Although  living  close  together, 
the  Tibetans  and  Chinese  speak 
different  languages.  Smce  the 
Chinese  government  offers  more 
protection,  marriages  between 
the  two  groups  are  frequent 
There  is  constant  tribal  warfare 
on  the  Chinese-Tibetan  border. 
Also  there  were  Communist 
scares,  even  at  the  time  when 
Maribel  lived  in  Tibet 

The  moimtain  roads  in  Tibet 
are  UtUe  more  than  narrow, 
treacherous  paths  In  reminis- 
cing about  traveling  these  moun- 
tain trails  Maribel  tells  of  an 
interesting  experience  with  the 
pack  horses.  One  of  the  horses 
was  loaded  with  a  stove  on  one 
side  and  a  box  containing  kitch- 
en utensils  on  the  other.  When 
lying  to  get  by  another  horse 
he  tumbled  dorni  the  mountain- 
side into  the  river.  Experiences 
of  this  type  are  frequent 

Although  the  summers  are 
short  and  the  winters  are  long, 
both  seasons  are  mild.  The 
clothing  of  the  men  and  women 
IS  similar  except  that  the  men 
wear  shorter  robes  than  the 
women.  Most  of  the  clothes  are 
of  homespun  wooL 

Tibet  is  famous  for  its  filth 
and  dirt  The  people  seldom,  if 
ever  bathe.  They  grease  them- 
selves with  yak  butter  and  other 
greases. 

Due  to  tho  war  condiUons  it 
was  necessary  for  the  mission- 
aries to  return  to  the  United 
States  in  tho  summer  of  1941.

THE  STAMPEDE 


THURSDAY,  MARCH  29,  1951 


SHOOT  THE  WORKS! 

With  the  loss  of  football  from  the  intercollegiate  pro- 
gram, Milligan  College  should  strengthen  the  remaining 
intercollegiate  sports  to  take  up  the  slack  created  by  drop- 
ping the  gridiron  game. 

The  value  of  a  winning  team  in  a  major  sport  to  a 
liberal  arts  college  must  be  realized.  Football  has  been  dis- 
continued, so  the  other  major  intercollegiate  sport,  basket- 
ball, must  be  pushed  and  expanded. 

Why?  Because,  first  of  all,  a  winning  team  gives  a 
student  body  a  spirit  and  sense  of  pride  that  can  be  achiev- 
ed in  no  other  way.  This  is  an  almost  indefinable  something 
that  adds  immeasurably  to  college  life.  Milligan  has  main- 
tained a  winning  tradition  down  through  the  years,  both 
on  the  gridiron  and  the  hardwood.  Now  it  is  up  to  basket- 
ball to  keep  alive  this  spirit  and  prides. 

Secondly,  it  is  evident  that  not  only  sectional,  but  even 
national,  fame  can  be  won  by  a  small  college  in  basketball. 
It  is  practically  impossible  to  achieve  this  in  the  pigskin 
parade,  because  it  is  completely  dominated  by  the  large 
schools.  However,  in  basketball,  it  is  a  different  story, 
Smaller  colleges  such  as  Marshall,  Hamline,  and  Beloit 
have  scaled  the  heights  in  the  past  five  years.  The  Buffs 
could  do  this,  for  they,  too,  have  played  large  universities 
such  as  Tennessee  and  William  and  Mary  within  the  same 
period.  It  is  possible  for  Milligan  to  again  schedule  larger 
schools  and  climb  to  national  prominence. 

What  does  this  all  mean?  A  nationally  known  institu- 
tion and  a  proud  student  body.  Milligan  College  should 
build  a  winning  basketball  team.  This  can  be  accomplished 
by  recruiting  the  best  high  school  hoopsters  and  college 
transfers  available  in  this  section  of  the  country.  Outbid 
larger  schools — this  is  possible  since  the  funds  formerly 
used  for  football  scholarships  can  now  be  applied  to  ten  or 
fifteen  basketball  scholarships.  That's  the  way  to  build  an 
outstanding  team — beat  the  bushes  until  the  ten  young 
men  are  found  that  can  be  moulded  into  a  winning  outfit. 

Milligan  College  can  have  an  outstanding  basketball 
team  if  it  wants  one  badly  enough.  How  badly  do  we  want 
it????? 


Buffs  Drop  Football  iFrom 
Intercollegiate  Program 

Other    Major    Sports    Not   Affected 
By  The  Action  Of  The  College  Board 

Dr.  Dean  E.  Walker,  president  of  Milligan  College, 
disclosed  on  March  20,  1951.  that  Milligan  has  temporarily 
dropped  football  from  its  intercollegiate  athletic  program. 

The  executive  committee  adopted  a  resolution,  stress- 
ing that  this  move  was  taken  because  of  necessity,  not  de- 
sire.   "Confronted    with    uncer-  

tainties  such  as  the  drait  and  gt.  Marys,  Corpus  Chrisli,  Amer- 
the  present  world  situatioa  the  Jcan  University.  High  Point,  and 
college  finds  it  necessary  to  Atlantic  Christian,  who  have 
abandon  football  temporarily,  gj^o  taken  this  step. 
We  all  look  forward  to  the  time  The  resolution  as  adopted  by 
When  this  fine  sport  can  be  re-  the  committee  is  as  foUows:  "In 
sumed."  Dr.  Walker  said.  Every  view  of  the  present  emergency 
possible  way  was  studied  to  faced  by  our  nation  and  by 
continue  footbaU.  "But,"  stated  higher  education  as  affected 
Dr,  Walker,  "we  are  driven  to  therein,  the  executive  commit- 
the  one  conclusion— that  it  was  tee  of  MiUigan  CoUege  regards 
necessary  for  us  to  give  up  jt  expedient  temporarily  to  dis- 
football  temporarily."  continue      intercollegiate      foot- 

No  other  part  of  the  athletic  ball  until  relaxation  of  ter^sions 
program  will  be  affected  and  a  now  present  may  create  condi- 
vigorous  intramural  plan  will  be  ^'""^  favorable  toward  the  re-

Two     days     later.     President  That  no  loss  may  result  to  the 

Leslie  Patton,  of  Tusculura  Col-  students,  either  in  the  develop- 

lege.  announced  that  Tusculum  ^^ent  of  the  health  and  fitness 

was  permanently  dropping  foot-  ^f  p^^son  or  in  the  creaUon  of 

ball,    thus    leaving    only    three  ^kiUs  i^  the  teaching  and  coach- 


teams  in  the  Smoky  Mountain 


ing    profession,    the    committee 


Conference.  Patton  stated,  "The  looks  toward  the  expansion  of

for  us.  He  said  that  the  nation-  program  into  which  all  students

do  with  it,  but  the  chief  reason  sized  that  the  interim  program 
was     financial  should  not  be  regarded  as  a  per- 

Milligan  shares  its  decision  manent  policy,  so  far  as  it  con- 
with  many  larger  institutions,  cems  intercollegiate  competition 
such    as    Duquesne    University,    in  sports." 


Hurlers  Hold  Key  To 
Buff  Baseball  Fortunes 

"What  1  wouldn't  give  for  two 
more  good  pitchers!"  Sounds 
like  Coach  Spraker,  doesn't  it? 
It  is — baseball  has  rolled  around 
again  and  with  it  the  worries  of 
a  coach  building  from  the  shat- 
tered remains  of  last  season's 
nine.  If  you  have  a  blazing  fast 
ball  or  a  tricky  curve,  you  can 
ease  the  coach's  dilemma. 

Departed  from  last  year's 
team  are  all  three  regular  out- 
fielders; Dick  Kennedy,  Jack 
Bible,  and  Sam  Pridon;  the  reg- 
ular infielders:  "Lefty"  Bowers. 
Kenny  Hyder.  Ernie  Ellenburg, 
and  Jim  Bentley;  gone  are  the 
two  aces-  of  the  mound  crew; 
Morris  Shanks  and  Bobby  Miles. 
That  means  a  lot  of  rebuilding! 

The  returning  lettermen  in- 
clude two  pitchers:  Kymen 
Grindstaff  and  "Rawhide"  Par- 
due;  two  catchers:  "Ace"  Ad- 
kins  and  "Red"  Riffe;  and  Hen- 
ry Bemat,  a  third  sacker.  Coach 
Spraker  plans  to  use  Adkins  at 
first  base  and  Pardue  in  center- 
field.  This  nucleus  will  be  aided 
by  Mack  Wolfe  and  Leonard 
Gallimore.  transfer  students, 
who  will  hold  down  infield 
slots;  "Snazz"  Edens.  a  return- 
ing portsidcr  from  last  spring's 
pitching  corps;  and  newcomers 
Tom  Hawks.  "Red"  Lyons.  Cliff 
Winters,  and  Lionel  Surrat 

Due  to  an  increased  teaching 
load,  Coach  Spraker  will  turn 
over  most  of  his  duties  with  the 
team  to  Sid  Hathaway.  Milli- 
gan's  representative  in  pro  base- 
ball. A  strenuous  14  -  game 
schedule  has  been  arranged, 
commencing  April  12  with  Car- 
son-Newman, at  Anglin  Field. 


Outside  Looking  In 

Jimmie  Smyth,  sports  editor 
of  the  Johnson  City  Press- 
Chronice,  recently  penned  some 
cleat  thinking  in  a  fine  editor- 
ial concerning  "why  small  col 
leges  quit  football."  Here  are  a 
few  representative  statements 
that  are  worthy  of  passing  on. 

"Football  has  become  big  bus' 
iness  in  many  ways,  with  the 
smaller,  not  so  colorful  schools 
being  undermined  by  the  tre- 
mendous proportions  the  larger 
ones  have  gained. 

Both  institutions  (Milligan  and 
Tusculum)  cut  a  wide  swath  in 
football  circles  while  they  were 
playing.  Milligan.  in  particular, 
was  tough  to  down  even  in  its 
last  year  of  competition.  The 
Buffs  never  shunned  tough  foes. 
As  an  indication  of  how  furious- 
ly Milligan  fought  to  stay  in  the 
upper  strata  of  small  college 
football,  the  Buffs  tied  their 
arch  rival.  E.T.S.C.  just  last  fall. 

Neither  of  the  colleges  can  be 
blamed  for  giving  up  football. 
Football  is  a  great  game,  but 
this  is  an  age  of  change.  Perhaps 
the  changes  that  are  occurring 
in  this  area  may  point  up  the 
need  for  some  positive  action  to 
keep  the  little  schools  operating 
on  the  proper  athletic  level. 

The  pendulum  is  top-heavy  on 
the  WTong  side.  It's  time  to  do 
something  to  balance  the  power 
of  big-college  and  small-college 
football.  The  value  of  the  latter 
may  become  too  de-omphasizcd, 
leaving  nothing  but  a  monster 
of  big  business  in  the  name  of 
coUego  footboll."  Amen!  Amen! 


By  JOE  SUTHERLAND 

Baseball  will  be  set  back 
twenty  years!  "Ace"  Adkin*  is 
going  to  try  his  hand  at  relief 
pitching.  Ho  say*.  "They  ain't 
teen  nuthin'  yet  what  can  be 
done  to  that  borsehide."  Talk 
about  spit  ballsl  His  Is  so  cov- 
ered with  tobacco  juice  thai  it 
drips  acxofis  the  platel  Batters 
don't  ttand  a  chance. 

A  final  check  on  Sid  Hatha- 
way's  collegiate  total  in  basket- 
ball revealed  2.016  points  in- 
cluding regular  season  tussles 
and  tournaments.  His  two  ef- 
forts in  the  Burley  Tournament 
of  1949  had  been  overlooked  in 
a  previous  total. 

It  would  be  nice  to  see  Bob 
HiUier  enter  the  Milligan  Re- 
lays, even  though  the  Buffs  will 
not  enter  a  team.  He's  a  fast 
440  man.  This  would  also  be  a 
good  idea  for  other  track  men 
here  at  Milligan. 

Congratulations  to  T.  P.  Jones 
and  Randy  Cooper,  two  Phys. 
Ed.  majors,  for  their -outstand- 
ing efforts  in  behalf  of  the  new 
student  union  building. 

The  Southern  Welding  Com- 
pany has  disclosed  that  the 
swimming  pool  coils  have  been 
ordered  since  November,  but  8 
scarcity  of  materials  has  delay- 
ed the  order.  They  estlmaled 
that  the  coils  would  arrive 
within  two  weeks. 

While  awards  are  being  passed 
out  to  the  best  personalit>',  best 
senior,  etc.,  why  not  nominate 
Mad  Mack  Wolfe  ai  the  most 
handsome  man  on  the  campus? 
He's   terrific!!

Tennis  Prospects  Bright 
For  Herd  Net  Squad 

Looking  forward  to  a  promis- 
ing season,  the  Buff  netmen  are 
preparing  for  their  opening  tilt 
at  Tennessee  Wesleyan.  April  6. 

With  four  capable  veterans  re- 
turning from  last  season,  the 
prospects  are  bright,  if  not  out- 
standing. Heading  the  list  is 
Paul  "Shorty"  Williams,  the 
brilliant  No.  1  man — you  can 
look  for  him  in  the  single  cham- 
pionships of  the  conference  this 
coming  May!  He's  tops  with  his 
slashing,  accurate  singles  game. 
Backing  him  up  will  be  Walt 
"Crooner"  Mathis.  who  held 
down  the  No.  3  position  last 
spring;  Marshall  "Fastball"  Leg- 
gott.  No.  4  man  Inst  year;  and 
Judson  "Dud"  Harris,  the  jo- 
turning  No.  5  man.  These  three 
will  be  fighting  it  out  for  the 
number  two  slot  vacated  by 
Fred  Wallenfclsz.  who  gradu- 
ated. 

These  four  will  be  aided  by 


two  who  will  be  chosen  by  elim- 
ination tournaments  from  Na- 
than Hale,  Joe  Sutherland. 
Doug  Morehead,  Phil  Roush, 
Randy  Cooper,  Becky  Harris, 
Bill  Rodefor,  and  Grant  Layman. 

Three  now  nets  will  be  avail 
able  for  the  tennis  campaign, 
which  will  greatly  improve  the 
tennis  facilities.  Taking  proper 
care  of  the  equipment  and  be- 
ing a  "jack  of  all  trades"  will 
be  the  new  manager,  Kara 
Bright,  a  senior  phys.  ed.  major. 

Coach  Mynatt  has  prospccLs 
of  top-notch  caliber,  but  must 
improve  doubles  play  and  the 
work  of  the  fifth  and  sixth  po- 
sitions, for  these  were  the  weak- 
nesses which  lost  several  9- 
point  matches  by  close  margins 
last  season.  If  there  are  any 
Jack  Kramers  in  school,  please 
report  to  Coach  Mj-natt  imme- 
diately!!

Important  Changes  In 
Curriculum  Effected 

According  to  information  from 
the  Dean's  Office,  three  im- 
portant changes  will  be  made  in 
the  scholastic  program  next 
year.  These  will  affect  many  of 
the  students  and  should  be  noted 
by  them. 

A  thorough  revision  of  the 
curriculum  in  the  religion  de- 
partment has  been  affected  in 
order  to  better  coordinate  the 
various  phases  of  the  depart- 
ment and  to  insure  all  religion 
students'  having  more  of  the 
fundamental  courses.  New  pre- 
requisites are  being  set  up  for 
some  of  the  subjects,  and  Church 
History  will  be  added  to  the  list 
of  required  subjects. 

The  B.  S.  Degree  will  once 
again  be*  conferred  upon  stu- 
dents of  Milligan.  This  will  al- 
low those  majoring  in  the  fields 
of  Business  Administration, 
Mathematics,  and  Health  & 
Physical  Education  a  choice  be- 
tween the  B.  A.  and  the  B.  S 
Degrees.  In  the  case  of  the  lat- 
ter, certain  prescribed  courses 
will  replace  the  requirements  in 
the  language  field, 

An  important  addition  to  the 
curriculum  of  the  college  is  that 
of  courses  in  Elementary  Edu- 
cation. These  will  enable  stu- 
dents to  obtain  the  knowledge 
necessary  to  acquire  a  teaching 
certificate  in  Elementary  Edu- 
cation. A  program  will  be  insti- 
tuted for  practice  teaching  in 
the  elementary  grades,  similar 
to  that  now  in  use  for  prospec- 
tive high  school  teachers. 

Several  other  new  courses  are 
being  added  to  the  curriculum. 
These  are:  Applied  Art.  Com- 
parative Economic  Systems, 
World  Geography.  History  of 
Russia.  Plant  Physiology,  Plant 
Ecology,  and  Radio  Broadcast- 
ing.

THURSDAY,  MAY  24.  1951 

YOU'RE  ON  YOUR  HONORl 

Christian  Education,  as  President  Walker 
pointed  out  in  his  inaugural  address,  is  more 
than  the  presentation  of  factual  material. 
In  addition,  "let  it  be  said  that  at  Milligan 
each  one  is  dedicated  to  self-improvement." 
Character  is  built  by  each  person  that  has 
it.  But  we  must  not  forget  that  a  Christian 
college  can  teach  character  building  traits. 

Our  classrooms  sometimes  imply  that 
some  of  our  teachers  either  lack  faith  in  this 
truth,  or  lack  energy.  When  a  teacher 
guards  his  students'  eye  movements  with 
the  same  watchfulness  that  a  policeman 
watches  the  hands  of  a  shoplifter,  you 
might  wonder  if  both  aren't  revealing  the 
same  distrustfulness. 

There  is  no  question  whether  we  have 
cheating  here  at  Milligan.  We  all  recognize 
that  we  do  have  it  in  varying  degrees 
among  some  of  our  students.  But  we  should 
be  slow  to  insist  that  we  have  anyone  who 
is  not  trustworthy. 

A  simple  thing  that  proved  a  lot  as  to  the 
difference  in  Milligan  and  most  other 
schools  was  Mrs,  Meacham's  candy  store. 
Everybody  made  their  own  change  and  the 
store  made  its  profit.  An  honor  system  has 
a  lot  that  Ccin  be  said  both  for  and  against 
it.  It  can  be  made  a  most  elaborate  spy  sys- 
tem, or  it  can  be  made  a  means  of  develop- 
ing honor,  honesty,  and  a  Christian  charac- 
ter which  is  one  of  our  goals  at  Milligan. 

A  workable  honor  system  is  possible  only 
when  at  least  ninety  percent  of  the  student 
body  and  faculty  thoroughly  understand, 
and  are  in  sympathy  with  its  principles  and 
methods.  It  cannot  be  hurried  into.  It  needs 
at  least  two  years  of  preparation. 

In   one   of   the   best   liked   systems,    the 


teacher  is  requested,  not  required,  to  leave 
the  room  during  the  tests  unless  the  nature 
of  the  test  requires  the  teacher  to  give  it. 
The  emphasis  must  be  on  the  prevention, 
not  the  detection,  of  cheating.  All  environ- 
mental conditions  which  allow  or  encourage 
dishonesty  must  be  carefully  removed.  The 
students  must  report  any  method  of  cheat- 
ing or  any  of  the  above  conditions  to  the 
teacher  without  revealing  the  person.  Then 
he  must  help  that  person  develop  the  prop- 
er attitudes,  and  help  remove  this  person's 
need  for  cheating.  Cheating  decreases,  it 
has  been  proven,  with  a  person's  years  in 
school,  average  increase  in  grades,  and  con- 
fidence in  the- subject  in  which  he  is  being 
tested. 

Milligan  students  have  an  unusually  good 
chance  to  make  their  system  work.  It  is  an 
honor  to  be  trusted,  and  a  privilege  to  be 
given  the  chance  to  develop  trustworthi- 
ness. We  should  try  the  honor  system  at 
Milligan. 


JUST  A'THINKING 

.  .  .  ABOUT  THE  STUDENT 
UNION  PROGRESS 
At  long  last,  our  new  student 
union  building  is  taking  shape 
very  rapidly.  As  a  result  of  ex- 
tensive planning  and  labor  on 
the  part  of  the  student  body, 
great  strides  have  been  made 
both  financially  and  structural- 
ly- 


THANKS.  CHIEF 

(Note:^The  following  tribute  to  STAMPEDE 
editor  Lee  Ernst  has  been  prepared  and  published 
in  this  issue  unknown  to  him.) 

This  year  has  seen  many  improvements 
here  at  Milligan,  and  it  has  also  seen  the 
continuation  of  many  activities  which  make 
our  life  more  enjoyable  and  better  informed. 
One  of  these  activities  has  been  the  publica- 
tion of  the  STAMPEDE.  It  has  come  at  dif- 
ferent times  during  the  year  to  inform  and 
entertain  us,  and  to  labor  for  the  betterment 
of  Milligan. 

The  editor  this  year  ha^  ueen  Lee  Ernst — 
as  hard-working  a  "chief"  as  any  paper 
could  ask  for.  Lee  was  given  the  editorship 
quite  a  few  weeks  after  school  started,  and 
he  was  also  given  the  job  of  assembling  a 
staff  to  aid  in  the  work;  for  there  was  no 
carryover  of  any  STAMPEDE  organization 
from  last  year.  There  was  also  no  scholar- 
ship given  as  in  past  years.  But  without 
the  obligating  power  of  a  scholarship,  and 
with  the  obstacles  mentioned  above,  he  pro- 
ceeded with  the  task. 

And  what  a  task  it  has  been!  Lee  has 
guided  the  issues  from  the  first  planning 
to  the  receiving  of  the  printed  copies  from 
the  hands  of  the  printer.  Any  many  times, 
we,  the  staff,  have  made  that  job  doubly 
hard  by  our  thousand  and  one  excuses. 

But  we.  as  that  staff,  and  as  representa- 
tives of  the  student  body,  wish  at  this  time 
to  say,  "Thanks,  Chief."  for  all  your  work — 
for  the  ceaseless  thought  and  the  midnight 
hours  which  vou  have  given  to  make  the 
STAMPEDE  a'  success. 


T.   P.   JONES 

I  would  like  to  take  this  op- 
portunity to  express  my  appre- 
ciation to  each  and  every  person 
who  has  contributed  in  any  way 
toward  the  attainment  of  this 
student  union.  For  the  past 
week  we  have  had  excellent  co- 
operation from  most  of  the  stu- 
dents, which  really  broadcasts 
their  desire  for  this  building. 
Thanks  for  pitching  in  and  help- 
ing us  out  in  a  pinch- 

During  the  time  from  now  un- 
til the  end  of  school,  we  are 
going  to  be  mighty  busy  over  in 
the  "hole."  and  we  certainly 
could  use  all  of  the  manpower 
that  can  be  mustered.  With 
good  luck,  we  should  have  a 
major    portion    of    the    building 


up  by  graduation.  To  do  this, 
each  of  us  must  give  freely  of 
our  time  and  knowledge  and 
most  of  all.  each  of  us  must  take 
it  upon  ourself  to  "SELL"  this 
building  to  everyone  with  whom 
we  come  in  contact.  We  need 
considerable  additional  funds  to 
finish  the  building,  and  to  ob- 
tain this  we  must  take  it  upon 
ourselves  to  contact  as  many 
people  as  possible. 

As  to  the  building  itself,  I 
would  Hke  to  state  that  every 
effort  is  being  made  to  make 
this  student  union  the  type  of 
building  that  you.  as  students, 
want.  We  are  attempting  to  take 
advantage  of  every  inch  of  floor 
space  and  it  is  our  hope  that 
every  group  on  the  campus  may 
be  attracted  to  the  building  in 
some  way.  Please  feel  free  at 
any  time  to  ask  questions  or  to 
give  suggestions.  This  is  your 
building,  and  we  want  you  to 
have  a  full  share  in  making  it 
one  of  which  you  will  be  proud. 
Won't  you  give  of  your  time. 
your  talents,  and  your  initiative 
in  order  to  insure  the  success  of 
the  student  union?? 

P.  S.  I  would  like  also  to  take 
this  opportunity  to  thank  the 
Stamptede  staff  for  their  excel- 
lent efforts  in  printing  the  EX- 
TRA covering  the  student  union 
project.  Thanks  for  a  job  well 
done!  Also  the  committees  re- 
sponsible for  the  affairs  of  the 
project  have  done  a  tremendous 
job.  and  they  should  be  com- 
mended for  their  time  and  ef- 
forts and  contributing  to  the 
new  student  union  building. 
Keep  up  the  good  work!!

Vacation  Again!  See 
You  In  September! 

My  congratulations  to  you. 
Students  of  Milligan.  upon  the 
completion  of  a  successful  year. 

Your  courtesy,  good  fellow- 
ship, hard  work  and  loyalty  to 
Milligan  College  in  a  most  dif- 
ficult time,  have  made  the  Ad- 
ministration r  e  s  p  0  n  s  ibilities 
light.  I  appreciate  this  more  than 
I  can  tell  you. 

We  are  on  the  up-grade  at 
Milligan,  in  quality  of  work, 
quality  of  student  body,  effi- 
ciency of  faculty,  loyalty  of 
alumni  and  interest  of  friends. 
For  all  this  we  are  profoundly 
grateful. 

Enjoy  your  vacation.  Make  it 
count  in  recreation.  Make  it 
count  in  assimilation  of  what 
you  have  learned  this  year.  Make 
it  count  in  preparation  for  your 
return  in  the  fall. 

Bring  another  student  back 
with  you.  That  is  the  best  serv- 
ice you  individually  can  render 
Milligan  just  now.  Pick  out  a 
good   one.    Tell  him   what  you 


have  gained  at  Milhgan.  Ex- 
plain to  him  the  prospect  for 
next  year.  Let  him  see  in  you 
something  of  the  Milligan  spirit. 

Milhgan  is  on  the  up-grade. 
Up-grades  require  steam  to 
move  along.  Add  yours  and 
watch  us  go! 

Drop  me  a  line  during  the 
summer,  telling  what  you  are 
doing  and  about  your  plans  for 
the  future. 

Would  it  not  be  a  fine  thing 
to  have  our  opening  reception 
in  the  fall  in  the  new  student 
building?  Remember  that  only 
vour  persevering  work  will 
make  that  possible. 

So.  Mrs.  Walker  and  I  togeth- 
er wish  you  a  very  happy  vaca- 
tion. Will  you  convey  our  greet- 
ings to  the  folk  back  home? 

See  you  in  September! 

Dean   E    Walker.  President. 


MANY    THANKS 

This  issue  of  the  paper  closes 
the  1950-1951  files  of  the  STAM- 
PEDE. With  a  sigh  of  rehef  and 
yet  one  of  regret,  we  place  this 
final  edition  in  your  hands. 

It  has  been  our  constant  ob- 
jective throughout  the  year  to 
publish  a  STAMPEDE  chucked 
full  of  reading  pleasure,  one 
that  you  could  say  was  truly  a 
representative  voice  of  the  stu- 
dent body  and  worthy  of  the 
best  Milligan  traditions. 

We  wish  to  extend  our  sin- 
cere thanks  and  express  our  ap- 
preciation to  all  who  helped  in 
any  way  in  producing  a  pubhca- 
tion  that  we  hope  you  can  say 
was  a  STAMPEDE  of.  by.  and 
for  the  students.

IT'S  A  FACT! 

Every  day  people  are  making 
statements  that  they  call  facts. 
Here  we  have  a  few  facts  about 
the  students  and  teachers  at 
MilligEm  College. 

It's  a  fact  that  we  have  eaten 
exactly  153.600  shces  of  bread 
and  exactly  706.200  beans  in  the 
cafeteria  so  far  this  year.  Won- 
der what  it  will  be  by  the  end 
of  the  school  year?  It's  a  fact 
that  Miss  M>-natt  breaks  a  bat 
everj-  time  she's  up  and  that 
Mrs.  Brown  is  always  late  for 
class.  It's  a  fact  that  Norma 
Spangler  doesn't  know  if  she's 
engaged  or  not;  it's  also  a  fact 
that  Bill  and  Lydia  reset  their 
wedding  date  after  argument. 
So  many  calls  have  been  made 
between  Hardin  and  Pardee 
Hall  that  the  telephone  com- 
pany has  threatened  to  take  out 
the  phone.  And  that  is  a  fact. 
Bob  Rhea  is  a  good  guy  but  it's 
a  fact  that  he  had  not  been  able 
to  answer  all  the  questions  ask- 
ed by  students  in  Botany  class. 
Bob,  have  all  the  questions  been 
about  Botany? 

Here  are  also  a  few  more 
facts:  you  may  use  Skip  Mar- 
tin's car  at  any  time.  Just  ask 
him;  Quin  eats  hot  dogs  as  fast 
as  Mrs.  Shepherd  can  fix  them; 
Dave  Brooks  is  always  late  for 
Botany  class;  Dr.  Walker  loves 
to  make  trips  to  see  the  coun- 
tr>*side;  Grant  Layman  has 
stacked  Rook  cards  at  least  9.999 
times;  Sall>'  Bonner  and  Becky 
Shortridge  have  had  too  many 
fights  with  Tom  Archibald  to 
count;  Everett  Smock  al- 
ways has  car  trouble  in  Corbin. 
Kontuckj';  Mr.  Edwards  won 
first  place  for  catty  remarks 
and  Dave  Crandall  won  second 
place;  Cayita  Pagan  always 
throws  things  when  she  gets 
mad;  Miss  Smith  never  turns 
red  in  class;  it's  a  fact  that  so 
mnny  books  have  been  overdue 
that  Annleah  hasn't  enough  fin- 
gers and  toes  to  count  them  on. 
These  are  just  a  tew  of  the  facts; 
but  it's  all  a  facL

STAMPEDE'S  STUDENTS  OF  THE  YEAR 


JUNIOR 


SOPHOMORE 


FRESHMAN 


SPANISH  CLUB 

The  Spanish  Club,  one  of  the 
most  active  groups  on  the  cam- 
pus, sponsored  an  outing  for  the 
entire  student  body  on  May  17, 
■at  the  Optimist  Club.  About  35 
students  joined  in  the  activities, 
planned  by  Jean  Ball.  Nathan 
Hale,  and  Qum  Segarra.  which 
consisted  chiefly  of  baseball. 
Steak  sandwiches  made  a  hit 
that  was  rivaled  in  popularity 
only  by  some  impromptu  croon- 
ing by  Don  Gonzales,  a  student 
at  State  College. 

The  club  members  took  time 
out  to  elect  officers  for  next 
year.  Peggy  Young  will  be 
President;  Jean  Ball,  Vice-Pres- 
ident; Harriet  Bullock,  Secre- 
tary; and  Anna  Price,  Treasurer. 


tain  last  Saturday  afternoon- 
Everybody  is  a  little  stiff  and 
sore  for  their  efforts,  but  each 
agreed  it  was  well  worth  the 
effort. 

The  Club  elected  officers  for 
next  year.  Dave  Crandall  will 
be  President;  Tom  Hawes.  Vice- 
President;  and  Secretary-Treas- 
urer will  be  Harriet  Bullock. 


SERVICE  SEEKERS 

The  May  meeting  of  the  Serv- 
ice Seekers  was  highlighted  by 
a  talk  by  Mrs.  Carl  Stucken- 
bruck.  wife  of  our  newest  fac- 
ulty member.  Mrs.  Strucken- 
bruck  spoke  on  life  and  work 
in  China,  where  she  and  her 
husband  have  been  teaching. 

The  club  members  also  elected 
officers  at  this  meeting.  Kitty 
Rae  Irvin  will  be  President  next 
year;  Dee  Sims,  Vice-President; 
Harriet    Bullock,    Secretary,

DRAMATIC  CLUB 

Once  again  the  Miiligan  Col- 
lege Players  will  do  their  share 
toward  making  the  weekend  of 
commencement  both  pleasant 
and  memorable,  for  both  stu- 
dents and  visitors  alike,  through 
the  presentation  of  a  three-act 
play,  on  the  night  of  June  2.  in 
the  college  auditorium.  The 
play.  "Icebound."  written  by 
Owen  Davis,  is  a  true-to-life 
story  of  the  Jordan  family  and 
the  in-laws,  who  are  all  selfishly 
waiting  for  the  death  of  the 
wealthy  Mrs.  Jordan. 

The  cast  includes  Mildred 
Fritts,  David  Crandall,  Connie 
Hutchinson.  Edith  Baker.  Mar- 
shall Legett.  Paul  Conkin,  Jean 
Ball,  Becky  Shortridge,  Everet 
Shock.  Jack  Pierce,  Irene  Par- 
ker, and  Thomas  Hawes. 

Jean  Fritts,  president  of  the 
club,  is  assisting  Prof.  Arthur 
Edwards  in  directing  the  pro- 
duction, which,  with  such  a  tal- 
ented cast,  promises  to  provide 
an  evening  of  truly  good  enter- 
tainment, as  well  as  a  message 
that  is  valuable  in  these  times 
of  greed  and  selfishness. 


Early  in  the  year  the  "Stampede"  conducted  a  fecial  balloting  to  determine  the  two  most  out- 
standing students  in  each  class.  The  Senior  selections,  Elnora  Holbrook  and  Marshall  Leggett, 
were  previously  pictured  in  the  March  6  edition.  We  now  proudly  present  the  Junior,  Sopho- 
more and  Freshman  duos.  Top  row.  left  to  right:  Cayita  Pagan,  Kitty  Rae  Irvin,  and  Mary

Echoes  From  The 
North  American 
Christian  Convention 

Several  of  the  faculty  and 
students  attended  the  North 
American  Christian  Convention 
held  April  25-29  in  Springfield, 
Illinois.  Many  of  those  attend- 
ing participated  in  the  program. 
Pies.  Dean  E.  Walker  spoke 
about  colleges  during  a  panel 
discussion  on  "Educational  Work 
Among  the  Churches."  Earl 
Stuckenbruck  took  part  in  a 
panel  discussion  concerning 
"Mission  Work  Among  the 
Churches." 

The  male  quartet— Bill  Rode- 
fer,  Tom  Archibald.  Lee  Ernst 
and  Joe  Sutherland — sang  Fri- 
day morning  and  evening.  They 
were  among  the  many  quartets 
who  presented  the  special  mu- 
sic during  the  course  of  the  con- 
vention. 

The  theme  for  the  12th  NACC 
was  "The  Church  Against  the 
World."  The  addresses,  given 
by  ministers  from  all  over  the 
United  States,  were  based  on 
this  idea.  It  was  shown  through 
these  messages  that  the  Church 
is  against  the  world. 

Joseph  Dampier,  minister  of 
First  Christian  Church  in  John- 
son City  was  president  for  this 
year.  Next  year's  session  at  Tul- 
sa, Oklahoma,  will  be  presided 
over  by  Ernest  E.  Laughlin, 
minister  of  West  Side  Church 
of  Christ.  Springfield.  111. 

Sunday  mommg  the  pulpits 
of  the  churches  near  Springfield 
were  supplied  by  the  visiting 
ministers. 

The  highlight  of  the  conven- 
tion for  those  attending  from 
here  was  the  Miiligan  College 
banquet  held  Friday  night  at  the 
Abraham  Lincoln  Hotel.  Facul- 
ty and  students  besides  those 
on  the  program — Prof,  and  Mrs, 


H.  F.  York.  Prof,  and  Mrs.  Ar- 
thur Edwards.  Mrs.  Honta  Hed- 
ger.  Bill  Radspirmer,  Shirley 
DeArmond.  Virginia  Snyder  and 
Gertrude  Archer  —  were  also 
there.  Burton  Thurston,  minis- 
ter of  Englewood  Church  in 
Chicago  was  the  speaker. 

Mrs.  Hedger  was  in  charge  of 
the  college  booth.  Through  this 
display  many  valuable  contacts 
were  made  and  several  new  stu- 
dents will  be  coming  to  Miili- 
gan next  year. 

Another  member  of  the  facul- 
ty. Prof,  and  Mrs.  Henry  Webb, 
also  attended  the  convention, 
but  were  unable  to  be  at  the 
banquet.

Picture,  if  you  can,  a  green, 
lined  on  one  side  by  a  hand- 
some brick  dormitory,  on  an- 
other by  trees  and  bushes,  on 
the  third  by  a  shaded  walk  with 
a  fishpond  at  the  end  where  it 
is  crossed  by  a  walk  lined  with 
boxwood  bushes  which  forms 
the  fourth  side.  The  sun  is 
beaming  down  on  people  in 
summer  attire  who  are  gather- 
ed around  conversing  pleasant-- 

ly. 

The  swell  of  march  music  fills 
the  air;  girls  in  lovely  pastel 
formals  carrying  flowers,  with 
fellows  in  white  dinner  jackets 
and  trousers,  a  red  carnation  in 
their  lapels,  come  from  the  dor- 
mitory and  from  a  pathway 
through  which  finally  passes  a 
very  striking  couple  which  is 
showered  with  smiles  and  curt- 
sies and  bows  as  they  proceed 
to  mount  a  large  platform 
whence  they  are  followed  by 
the  court.  A  man  and  woman 
make  their  way  to  the  platform 
and  place  sparkUng  crowns  on 
the  heads  of  the  couple  who  now 
reign  as  King  and  Queen  of 
May. 

The  music  stops  and  two  chil- 
dren come  to  sit  at  the  feet  of 
a  man  who  begins  to  tell  them 
the  fascinating  story  of  the  his- 
tory of  Tennessee.  As  he  tells 
them  of  the  first  inhabitants, 
the  Cherokee  Indians,  a  band  of 
braves  and  maids  comes  on  the

scene  in  paint  and  feathers  to 
make  the  words  more  realistic 
with  yells  and  war  dances.  The 
story  proceeds  to  the  place 
where  pioneer  men  and  women 
push  their  way  over  the  Appa- 
lachian Mountains  in  search  of 
more  and  better  land,  and  the 
Indians  are  replaced  by  women 
in  calico  bonnets  and  long 
dresses  and  strong,  tanned  men 
who  detract  them  from  their 
quilting  to  engage  them  in  sing- 
ing games.  Daniel  Boone,  that 
marksman  of  marksmen,  fells 
his  bear  and  carries  it  off.  Back 
to  the  stor>',  and  it  is  now  time 
for  that  famous  gubernatorial 
contest  between  Robert  and  Al- 
fred Taylor,  The  War  of  the 
Roses.  Colored  slaves  and  the 
slow,  plaintiff  melodies  of  the 
folk  songs  compose  the  next 
scene  which  is  a  picture  of  one 
side  of  plantation  life  in  Ten- 
nessee before  the  Civil  War. 
The  other  side  is  shown  in  the 
graceful  dancing  of  the  minuet 
to  the  strains  of  violin  music. 
With  1914  the  great  patriotic 
heart  of  'The  Volunteer  State" 
sent  forth  its  loyal  sons  in  the 
name  of  freedom.  The  scene 
now  is  that  of  SgL  York  and  a 
small  regiment  which  sings 
some  of  the  sentimental  songs 
of  World  War  I.  Life  in  the 
Great  Smoky  Mountains  is  typi-

THE  STAMPEDE 


THURSDAY,  MAY  24,  1951 


THANKS,  BUT  .  .  . 

Suggestions  in  this  year's  editorials  have  been  taken 
up  in  a  fine  way,  in  a  spirit  which  seems  to  be  exemplary  of 
the  student  body  this  year. 

The  suggestion  was  made  that  a  trophy  case  be  in- 
stalled— the  Spanish  Club  financed  the  installation  of  a 
beautiful  one  in  the  lobby  of  the  Administration,  building. 
It  was  suggested  that  new  nets  be  purchased  for  the  pres- 
ent tennis  season — this,  too,  was  soon  accomplished. 

For  this  splendid  cooperation,  we  wish  to  say, 
"Thanks."  However,  at  the  same  time,  we  propose  the  ques- 
tion, "What  is  being  done  about  basketball?"  This  was 
thoroughly  covered  in  an  earlier  issue,  but  it  must  be  em- 
phasized and  not  forgotten. 

All  concerned  with  Milligan  College  must  realize  that 
basketball  will  be  an  essential  factor  in  school  activities 
since  footbaJ  has  been  discontinued.  Opportunity  is  offered 
now  to  send  Milligan  to  the  top  in  small  college  circles  and 
by  the  same  move  fill  that  new  trophy  case.  Now  is  the 
time  to  forge  oui*  way  upward. 

There  are  two  necessary  factors  in  this  progression: 
(1)  that  a  coach  be  hired  who  specializes  in  basketball  and 
has  shown  the  ability  to  turn  ouf  winning  teams;  (2)  that 
the  cream  of  the  high  school  talent  be  brought  to  Milligan, 
for  the  Buffs  must  build  for  the  future  almost  from  the 
bottom.  This  last  plan  is  made  possible  by  the  fact  that 
thousands  of  dollars  formerly  used  out  of  the  athletic  fund 
for  football  scholarships  may  now  be  turned  toward  bas- 
ketball. 

There  may  be  those  who  axe  opposed  to  this  plan,  but 
they  should  be  reminded  of  one  thing.  Intercollegiate  ath- 
letics are  now  big  business;  not  that  this  is  right  and  just, 
but  that  we  are  forced  to  follow  that  plan  if  we  are  to  field 
even  a  respectable  team. 

We  offer  sincere  thanks  once  again,  and  hope  that  this 
last  suggestion  be  used  as  the  previous  ones  have. 

Let's  put  basketball  trophies  in  that  case  next  year"

"Bucky"  Harris  is  leading  the 
tennis  team  with  six  wins  and 
three  losses  in  singles  competi- 
tion. Ho  is  closely  followed  by 
"Shorty"  Williams,  who  sports 
a  4-3  slate.  "Shorty"  missed 
both  tussles  with  Tusculum  the 
last,  due  to  an  injury.

rather  than  over-cooked  and

Marshall  Leggett  and  Walt

oi  the  year  in  the  V.  S.  A.  C.

before  they  ran  afoul  of  Clarke

No.'l  seeded  duo,  which  won  the 
title.

"Shorty"  Williams  defaulted 
his  quarter-final  singles  match,

accident  smothered  his  bright

Trophy  Case  Installed 
By  Spanish  Club 

A  long*needod  trophy  case  has 
finally  found  its  home  In  the 
south  wall  of  the  lobby  of  the 
Administration  Building.  The 
case  was  presented  to  the  col- 
lege by  the  Club  Pan  Ameri- 
cana, the  school's  Spanish  Club. 

The  club  had  held'  the  project 
in  view  from  last  September  but 
was  not  then  financially  able  to 
undertake  the  project.  How- 
ever, they  continued  working  to 
acquire  the  necessary  funds, 
both  by  selling  the  plastic 
cushions  and  pins  at  the  football 
games,  and  by  the  collection  of 
club  dues. 


Due  to  an  editorial  in  Febru- 
ary denouncing  the  lack  of  a 
trophy  case,  the  club  was  given 
added  incentive  to  complete 
their  project.  At  that  time  their 
action  on  the  project  was  an- 
nounced, and  the  money  for  the 
materials  was  found  to  be  on 
hand.  The  materials  were  pur- 
chased and  the  case  was  install- 
ed by  the  able  hand  of  Mr.  Mc- 
Cracken,  Supt.  of  Grounds  and 
Buildings. 

The  club  plans  next  year  to 
place  a  bronze  plaque  at  the 
base  of  the  case  to  state  the 
presentation  of  the  case  by  the 
club.  They  are  also  assuming 
the    responsibility    of    keeping

Building  Together 

"Rat  liVeek"  is  novf  ofiicially  over.  The  freshmen 
have  been  duly  initiated  and  are  novf  coraplete  ineiTibers 
of  the  I'.'iilligan  faitily.  The  entire  body  of  students 
and  faculty  can  novj  work  together  as  a  unit  in  the 
interest  of  Christ  fii'st  of  all,  and  ,  secondly,  in  the 
interest  of  the  college.  Our  student  body  this  year  is 
manifesting  an  even  greater  regard  foi-  the  things  of  the 
Spirit  than  ■'.vas  shorni  last  year.  This  is  demonstrated  by 
the  increased  number  of  students  participating  in  gospel 
teams  and  by  a  greater  proportion  of  the  stuaents  attend- 
ing church  on  Sunday, 

\ie   now  have  two  professors  who  open  their  classes  in 
vrSijer,     These  /nen  are  to  be  cojmnended.  This  seems  like 
such  a  little  thing,  yet  it  means  a  great  deal  both  to 
teachers  and  students  to  unite  in  prayer  before  the  class 
begins.  There  should  be  no  difference  betvreen  classes  in 
religion  and  the  rest  of  the  classes  in  this  regard. 

Let  us  in  this  school  year  strive  to  create  an  atmos- 
phere that  will  bring  out  the  best  in  everyone.  This  • 
matter  is  directly  in  the  hands  of  the  students  and 
faculty..  This  can  be  the  best  year  that  Lilligan  has  seen. 
'Ue  have  the  quality  of  students  and  faculty  needed  for  such 
a  venture.  How  it's  full  speed  ahead  for  each  individual 
interested  in  making  J«iilligan  one  of  the  oest  Christian 
schools  in  our  countr--.

THOSE  BASEBALL  S'A'EATSRS  I 

llilligan  Ccll^jx:  down 
through  the  years  has 
alv/ays  been  able  to  boast 
of- a  good  athletic  pro- 
Cram. 

New  that  football 
has  been  dropped,  cut  of 
dire  necessity,  mere  em- 
phasis should  be  placed 
on  other  sports  such  as 
basketball,  tennis,  and 
baseball. 

Only  through  the  un- 
relenting efforts  of 
Coach  Spraker  v;as  base- 
ball made  a  certainty 
last  year.  Not  only  was 
he  faced  with  the  problem 
of  insufficient  funds, 
but  fi  preat  deal  of  v/ork 
had  to  be  done  on  the 
field.  First,  the  sod  had 
to  be  dug  off  the  infield, 
and  then  a  backstop  had 
to  be  erected. 

The  players  went 
dovm  evening  after  eve- 
ning, donatinf-;  time  that 
sho-uld  have  been  ussd  for 
conditi-r^ninfj  in  nrder 
that  they  :;iight  play  a 
sport  they  loved.  Vfell, 
the  work  was  done  and 
.Yalligan  fielded  a  ball 
club  -  true,  it  wasn'.t 
the  best  in  the  v;orld, 
but  it  v/as  a  ball  club  re- 
presenting iviillif-;an  Col- 
ic {je. 

It  is  unfair  nov; 
that  v/o  ask  for  sweaters 
for  having  made  the  na- 
tional past  tine  a  possi- 
bility here  last  spring? 

Coach  Bpraker  says 
the  names  have  been  turn- 
ed in.  In  fact,  these 
sv/'eaters  Wure  supp;.'scd  to 
have  been  ordered  l.?st 
sprin(_;.  Vfe  want  to  know 
something.  '.Vhat  happened 
to  those  orders?  Where 
are  those  sweaters?

STUDENT  UNION  L'CTVS 

The  members  of  the 
Solicitation  cOi-.-ur.ittee, 
v;hich  includes:  Frank 
Hannah,  chai-lman;  Ruth 
Brovm,  Becky  Harris,  Jer- 
r:,'  Lindel  and  Don  Taylor 
have  made  tentative  plans 
tov/ard  supplimenting  the 
.$7,500  raised  by  students 
of  Liilligan  last  year 
vdth  another  seven  fr- 
eight thousand. 

Plans  are  being  made 
for  5,000  letters  to  be 
sent  out,  each  viith  a  pic- 
ture of  the  Student  Union 
Building  as  it  nov/  standg 
making  a  strong  appeal 
f-..r  a  donation  of  $1.00. 
Each  letter  v/ill  contain 
a  stamped  self-addressed 
envelope  for  the  facility 
of  the  donator.  The  re- 
cent campaigne  wbdch  was 
conductod  in  Elizabethton 
vir's  successful  in  col- 
lecting $72.00  in  compar- 
with  the  |;7[i.00  rais- 
ed last  year  in  Johnson 
City. 

It  is  the  earnest 
hope  of  the  students  of 
Hilligan  that  the  restau- 
rant part  be  finished  by 
ChristEas  vacation  after 
v/hich  the  building's  in- 
torior  can  be  finished  by 
the  end  of  the  school 
y-ar. 

The  Student  Council 
and  Soliciting  Committee 
wish  to  thank  the  fresh- 
men class  for  its  zealous 
endeavor  and  support  to- 
v/ard the  building.  It  is 
our  hope  that  this  zeal 
vri.ll  not  depart'frcm  them 
until  the  building  is  conj- 
I leted  and  that  the  other 
Ailligan  students  v;ill 
follov,-  their  example. 


Christ  never  asks  us  to 
give  up  merely  for  the 
sake  of  giving  up,  but 
always  in  order  to  ^vin 
something  better,

WILLED  TO  BUILD 

Last  spring  two  of  our  Milligan  students  conceived 
the  idea  of  constructing  a  much-needed  Student  Union 
Building.  They  willed  to  build,  y/e,  as  a  student  body, 
promised  our  utmost  assistance  and  pledged  ourselves  to 
any  effort  vdiich  would  be  needed  to  execute  such  a  pl^n. 
"/.■e  also  v/illed  to  build. 

The  fact  that  we  have  succeeded  in  erecting  the 
exterior  of  the  edifice  should  alleviate  any  discourage- 
ment which  we  may  feel.  Te  knov;  that  some  day  there  v/ill 
be  a  Student  Union  Building  at  the  place  v/here  Dr,  'A'alkt;r 
turned  over  the  first  shovelful  of  ground.  It  is  just 
a  question  of  v/hen.  If  the  student  body  were  now  as  en- 
thusi'istic  about  the  project  as  they  were  last  spring, 
it  would  only  be  a  matter  of  a  few  months  before  v;e  would 
be  enjoying  the  advantages  of  the  new  structure,  .'.here 
is  the  zeal  -ihat  was  manifested  at  the  outset  of  this 
undertaking?  ';,e  do  have  the  power  to  see  this  through, 
but  we  must  retain  our  will  to  build.  If  we  are  tired 
of  hearing  about  the  work  that  is  yet  ahead  of  us,  we  can 
put  our  shoulders  to  the  plow  v;ith  the  idea  of  finishing 
the  job  in  short  order  as  quickly  as  possible,  this  is 
our  job.  Let's  show  the  faculty  and  the  surrounding 
area  that  we  can  see  it  throughi 

The  Student  Council  has  graciously  takun  over  this 
project,  but  they  can't  do  it  by  themselves.  They  can 
organize,  but  v;ithout  the  support  of  every  member  of  the 
student  body,  our  Student  Union  will  remain  in  the  far 
future.

STUDENT  UNION 
by 
Betty  Jean  festers 

Saturday, October  27th, 
the  students  had  a  big  e- 
vent  in  Johnson  City  called 
"Tag  Day'J  Orange  and  Black 
Tags  with  the  letters  S.U.B 
on  thpir:_,  (meaning  Student 
Union  Building)T,-ere  made  by 
tjie  students  and  given  to 
everyone  who  contributed  to 
the  Student  Union  lund.  A 
booth  v.'as  put  up  on  .Viain  St. 


morning  until  6:00  in  the 
evening,  there  were  groups 
working.  By  3:00  in  the 
afternoon,  the  majority  of 
people  in  Johnson  City  were 
wearing  tags.  The  total  a- 
mount  collected  was  $132.12 
which  was  double  of  what 
was  made  last  year  on  our 
day  of  solicitation  in  John- 
con  City. 

Another  big  event  v/as 
the  door  to  door  campaign 
held  all  day  Wednesday,  Oo- 
tober  31st,  also  in  Johnson 
cityo  Streets  were  laid 
out  on  large  maps  and  given 
out  to  different  groups  who 
v/ent  from  door  to  door  in 
that  area  telling  about  the 
Student  Union  Euildinr::, 
Frnnk  Hannah  v/as  in  charge 
of  this  campaign.  The  total 
amouht  collected  was 
$326.80. 

So  you  can  see  the 
student  body  is  really  en 
the  ball  and  v;e  nearly  have 
the  support  of  all.  But  if 
you  hovf.n't  been  helping,

orita  or  Iviadamoisclle 
Smith  is  trying  to  add 
some  atmosphere  by  put- 
ting scenes  of  the 
countries,  maracas, 
s-mbrcrcs,  pictures  of

and  even  flowers.  At

SADIE  HA'.VKi:;S  DAY 
by  pat  Hand 

Combining  the  better 
parts  of  track  and  foot^- 
ball,  the  ilillipan  girls 
ran  to  victory  Friday 
afternoon,  October  26,  in 
a  twenty-five  minute  con- 
test which  saw  only  one 
casualty.  Fifteen  boys 
were  caught  out  of  the 
seventeen  that  ran.  Two 
die  hards,  CPjJGK  BLEDSOE 
and  JOHN  CA  /COD,  took  to 
the  heights  of  a  poplar 
tree   to  escape, 

FRED  (he  never  had  a 
chance  )R.ADSPIKHER  had  the 
honor  of  being  caught 
first.  The  girls  left

tree.  He  v;as  reaching 
for  a  limb  7fhen  all  of  a 
sudden  it  gave  v/ay  and 
down  PHIL  came.  It  was 
found  out,  ho-.vever,  that 
the  girls  had  taken  pre- 
cautions beforehand  and 
sawed  the  branch  half  in 
two. 

The  boys  blam.ed

their  victory.   Governor 
' Kief t  declared  a  public 
Thanksgiving  in  February 
of  I6I4I1, 

Thwre  are  recorded 
instances  of  the  pre-Rcv- 
olutionarj'  colonies  de- 
claring Thanksgiving  hol- 
idays. During  the  Revolu- 
tion, the  Continental 
Congress  set  aside  eight 
days  during  the  vrar  as 
days  cf  Thanksgiving  for 
fhe  battles  won,  George 
Washington  first  declared 
it  a  legal  holidaj^  in 
1789,  setting  the  date  as- 
Ncvember  26.  So,  you 
see,  the  Pilgrims  are  not 
the  ■"'nly  r^rj.ginators  of 
our  observance  of  Thanks- 
riving. 


Traditionally,  v;hen 
vre  think  of  thanksgiving, 
we  are  automatically  re- 
minded of  the  Pilgrims 
who  came  over  on  the  May- 
flov;er  and  celebrated  the 
"first"  Thanksgiving  in 
1621.  Actually  the  idea 
v'as  not  original  v;ith 
them,  nor  was  it  institu- 
ted as  a  national  holiday 
merely  beacase  of  their 
celebration.  The  children 
of  Israel  were  commanded 
to  keep  a  feast  of  the 
harvest  which  was  on  the 
same  order  as  our  Thanks- 
giving in  that  it  was 
celebrated  to  thank  God 
for  a  bountiful  harvest. 

From  1621  to  I63I, 
there  were ro T hanksgtring 
celebrations  in  America  by 
the  Pilgrims  or  other 
groups.  In  the  latter 
year  mentioned,  the  Efess- 
acbusetts  Bay  Colony  suf- 
:fered  a  hard  winter. 
There  was  little  food  and 
their  number  was  being 
decreased  by  disease.  Due 
to  these  conditions,  the 
people  berated  their  lead- 
er and  befame  very  pessL-H- 
istic  tov/ard  the  life 
vjhich  they  were  living. 
The  leader  of  the  colony 
rebuked  the  people  for 
their  attitude,  reminding 
them  that  they  were  in 
a  land  v/hich  God  had  shown 
them  and  therefore  had  no 
reason  to  whimper  because 
of  their  hungar.  Ke  de- 
clared that  because  of 
their  lack  of  grateful- 
ness, they  would  be  made 
to  suffer  severe  hungar 
and  would  be  forbidden  to 
complain.  A  day  of  fast 
r/as  decreed;  but  before 
that  day  arrived,  a  ship 
from  England  came  into 
the  port  loaded  v/ith  sup- 
plies. The  result  was  a 
great  thanksgiving  fe-.'.t. 
Thirteen  years  later  the 
Dutch  people  in  New  Am- 
sterdam were  being  molest- 
ed by  Indians  and  found 
it  expedient  to  flrrbt. 
them.   In  thankfulness  of

NOT  iOR  BliEAD  aLONE 

(lith  the  possible  exception  of  favreden,  America 
is  the  most  prosperous  nation  in  the  viorld  today, 
kie  live  in  a  land  which  is  rich  in  natural  resources 
and  which  contains  a  vast  number  of  industries.  Ir- 
respective of  VJhere  one  stands  on  the  social  scale, 
he  has  a  right  to  demand  an  education,  -tor  the  av- 
erage American,  the  road  of  life  affords  a  fevr  jolts 
and  jars;  but  tl;ey  are  nothing  coiupared  to  those  on 
the  road  which  people  in  many  countries  have  to  tra- 
vel, ^.iaybe  this  is  the  reason  that  Americans  have 
become  an  ungrateful  variety  of  homo  sapiens o 

lr»e  need  only  to  look  about  us  to  be  convinced 
of  the  fact  that  God  truly  has  shed  His  grace  upon 
America.  How  tired  He  must  become  with  the  many 
cynics  and  pessimists  v/ho  walk  about  in  our  fair 
land  today  -  people  who  simply  would  not  be  happy 
being  happy  -  people  who  have  such  few  inner  resour- 
ces that  they  are  not  moved  by  the  many  beautiful 
things  which  we  term  the  "better  things  in  life." 
It  ought  to  make  us  humble  to  look  off  across  a 
clear  blue  sky,  but  a  stormy  sky  offers  beauty  also. 
Sorrows,  disappointments,  broken  hearts,  these  are 
all  part  of  a  full  life  as  well  as  , enjoyment,  plea- 
sures, and  satisfaction.  If  we  were  to  oalctilate 
the  ratio  of  satisfaction  to  sorrow,  \(e  would  find 
that  the  former  would  far  exceed  the  latter. 

As  we  sit  down  to  our  Thanksgiving  dinner,  may 
we  not  be  guilty  of  thanking  Dod  for  bread  alone, 
but  may  v,-e  also  be  thankful  for  every  ".vord  of  God  - 
for  the  v.'ord  by  i;hich  He  created  us  -  for  the  word 
which  brought  the  mountains,  lakes,  and  forests  into 
being  -  for  the  words  of  God  which  we  call  Scripture 
and  the  promises  contained  therein-  and  most  of  all, 
for  the  supreme  nord,  even  Jesus,  whom  God  has  made 
both  Lord  and  Christ.

rinkr.in:  at  /illigan 

ViC  at  :.illi^:an  have  a  liVirary  which  conparcs 
favorably  in  rct;aru  to  number  of  bboks-sm.th  sch(Si?2.s 
tv.lce  our  size.  Aside  from  tho  fact  that  we  are 
si: rhtly  lackinf  in  sh.lf  space,  we  have  a  library 
of  v;hich  to  p.,  proud.  The  only  difficulty  is  that 
y*en  som..;one  fjocs  to  the  library  to  avail  hins^-lf  of 
a  book  for  a  sp.:cific  assignment,  ho  often  finds  him- 
self utt„rly  unablvj  to  secure  the  i;riportant  volune 
for  which  he  is  s  .archint;,  ospi-cially  if  that  book 
happens   to  havj  been  placed  on  res^.;rve. 

The  reasons  for  the  existence   of  such  a   situatbn 
is     threefold.         First,      there     are       s..--eral     folk" 
who  feul  that  since     ";illi£an     Coll.:,:;e     only     has  an 

are 
?.are 


enrollment  of  four  or  fj.ve  students,  they 
justified  in  keeping  r„s^rve  books  until  th^,.;. 
weeks  and  even  nonths  over:iuo.  Secondly,  books  have 
cto.yelopcd  a  habit  of  runnint  av.'ay  vifch  bheir  cards 
still  in  th.iT?..  Tho  last  reason  is  that,  -sSace 
each  class  has  only  one  student  enrolled,  that  one 
student  cones  into  the  librarj'  and  checks  out  all 
of  the  resurved  books  on  the  sh-jlf  for  that  particu- 
lar cl-:iss,  Kovfever,  there  are  sorie  two  hundred 
students  at  ..illigan,  books  cannot  walk  out  of  the 
library  by  their  own  noti\ation,  an--?  no  nlas^-  -n +h 
one  student  :  s  in  cxirtixnce,  %  ^ 

May  we  rerrdnd  th'  o,,  self-satisfie'"!  individuals 
that  the  librar;>/  vdll  p:Ver  bacc'ina  efficient  to  the 
end   tJiat  ev  .ryone   can  havc    acci  :r   to   t;-.  ■  beck     which 


he  ncods     until 


they  r^jllnquish  tl..;ir  al-solute 
monarchy  cv..r  the  reserved  books,  Tl'iere  are  many 
volumes  out  at  tho  present  tine  vdiich  should  be 
returned  inmodiately.  Of  course,  a  lare.^  fine  can  be 
and  is  charred,  but  that  dc-sn't  raal-c.  th,,  book  any

World  Economic 
Stability  Hinges 
On  U.  S.  Policies 

NEW  YORK— The  economic 
stability  of  the  rest  of  the  world 
now  hinges  on  United  States 
policies  as  never  before.  This  is 
one  of  the  points  stressed  by 
the  Research  and  Policy  Com- 
mittee of  the  Committee  for 
Economic  Development  in  its 
recent  long-range  analysis  The 
Threat  to  Our  National  Security. 

In  a  comprehensive  study  de- 
signed "to  suggest  how  to  think 
about"  the  problems  likely  to 
be  faced  by  the  American  peo- 
ple and  their  allies  in  the  face 
of  Russian  moves  in  the  next 
few  years,  the  committee  says: 

"American  economic  power 
and  the  world's  economic  inter- 
dependence are  now  so  great 
that  our  domestic  policies  have 
an  enormous  impact,  intended 
or  unintended,  on  other  coun- 
tries. 
"Precariously  Balanced' 

"The  stability  or  instability  of 
employment  and  prices  in  the 
United  States  is  a  major  factor 
in  the  economic  health  or  sick- 
ness of  many  other  countries.  To 
the    domestic    consequences    of

The  Spirit  Of 
MUligan  Continues 

Any  college  which  contributes 
richly  to  those  who  choose  to 
become  a  part  of  her  spiritual 
and  traditional  heritage  is  per- 
mitted to  make  her  precious 
gifts  out  of  her  own  storehouse 
only. 

Nevertheless,  this  source  of 
valuable  benefits  can  not  bo  re- 
plenished sufficiently  to  provide 
8  constantly-increasing  bestowal 
unless  those  with  whom  the 
blessings  are  shored,  in  turn, 
contribute  more  than  they  re- 
ceive; unless  each  one  strives  to 
leave  the  school's  resources 
richer  than  they  were  when  he 
came. 

In  this  respect,  however,  the 
educational  family  at  Milligan 
have,  down  through  the  years, 
realized  that  sharing  one's  self 
with  others  is  a  noble  art,  that 
living  courageously  is  affiliated 
with  living  creatively  in  the 
midst  of  conditions  many  of 
which  may  be  adverse. 

Moreover,  the  academic  year 
of  1952-53  seems  to  be  no  ex- 
ceptipn  at  Milligan.  for  a  well- 
balanced,  cooperative  spirit  of 
optimism  is  activating  the  tra- 
ditional motivation  that  con- 
tinues to  enable  Milligan  to 
cEirry  on  effectively  in  behalf  of 
Christian  education. 

And  this  is  as  it  should  be, 
for  Milligan,  located  in  the 
bosom  of  extravagant  beauty 
here  in  East  Tennessee,  would 
find  it  difficult  not  to  accept  the 
help  of  nature  in  assisting  her 
to  maintain  her  noble  purpose 
which  has  to  do  with  serving 
those  who  constantly  look  to 
her  for  choice  gifts  with  which 
they  delight  to  enhance  their 
lives  of  consecration  and  ser- 
vices.

Founder's  Day 

The  second  annual  Founder's 
Day  will  be  celebrated  here  on 
Saturday.  November  1,  1952. 
This  occasion  was  brought  about 
when  Milligan  no  longer  had 
Homecoming  for  the  football 
season.  This  event  gives  the 
students  a  chance  to  choose  a 
queen,  in  the  person  of  a 
Founder's  Daughter,  and  the 
alumni  a  chance  for  a  home- 
coming themselves. 

Classes  will  continue  in  the 
morning  as  usual  and  the  board 
will  have  their  annual  meeting. 
The  afternoon  will  consist  of  an 
mformal  tea  at  4:00  In  Hardin 
parlors.  The  students  and  alumni 
will  be  recalling  their  days 
spent  at  their  old  Alma  Mater. 
Also  the  Intramural  Council 
has  some  play-off  games  sched- 
uled for  the  interest  of  every- 
one. 

Open  House  will  be  held  in 
each  of  the  three  dormitories 
from  1:00  to  5;00  p.m.  Students 
selected  by  the  dormitory  coun- 
cils will  be  on  hand  to  act  as 
hosts  or  hostesses  in  their  re- 
spective dormitories. 

The  night  is  the  highlight  of 
the  occasiorL  A  banquet  will  be 
served  in  the  Student  Union 
Building.  This  is  the  second 
such  event  held  in  our  unfin- 
ished building  as  the  alunmi 
dinner  of  1952  was  held  there 
last  May.  At  this  banquet  will 
be  presented  the  candidates  for 
Founder's  Daughter.  Each  per- 
son present  is  given  a  chance  to 
vote  for  the  queen  of  their 
choice. 

This  year  the  students  are  pre- 
senting eight  girls  who  have 
been  chosen  to  represent  their 
clubs  as  queen-  These  clubs  have 
proudly  selected  these  girls  for 
their  respective  clubs;  Louise 
Spurgin  —  Young  Republicans. 
Future  Teache^-s  Association  —

Meet   The   Bajkos 

By  ALICE  MacDONALD 

Just  in  case  you  haven't  met 
Adela  and  Paul  Bajko.  I  would 
like  to  introduce  them  to  you. 
They  are  two  of  the  nicest  peo- 
ple you'll  ever  know. 

The  Bajkos  are  from  Poland, 
but  they  met  and  became  en- 
gaged in  a  Displaced  Persons 
camp  in  West  Germany.  Adela 
left  Germany  and  went  to  Eng- 
land where  Paul  was  supposed 
to  meet  her.  but  somehow  their 
plans  didn't  work  out.  She  fin- 
ally went  to  Canada  and  Paul 
to  the  United  States.  This  was 
still  quite  a  distance  for  two 
people  in  love,  but  Paul  settled 
it  by  going  to  Canada.  They 
were  married  in  Toronto  on 
June  16,  1951. 

When  I  talked  with  them  the 
other  day,  I  was  interested  in 
finding  out  what  they  thought 
of  American  hot  dogs,  ham- 
burgers, and  chewing  gum.  Paul 
told  me  that  the  first  time  he 
saw  gum  was  when  the  Ameri- 
can soldiers  came  to  Europe. 
He  thought  they  looked  like 
cows  —  all  the  time  chewing, 
(Adela  tells  me  that  Paul  has 
now  acquired  the  habit  him- 
self.) Hot  dogs  were  also  new 
to  the  Bajkos.  They  couldn't 
imagine  anyone  "burning  up  a 
dog."  but  after  eating  one  they 
decided  that  hot  dogs  were  O.  K. 
Paul  was  astonished  when  first 
asked  if  he.wanted  a  hamburger. 
To  him.  Hamburg  was  only  a 
city  in  Germany. 

When  Paul  was  only  15  years 
old,  the  Nazis  took  him  to  work 
as  a  forced  laborer  in  their  fac- 
tories That  was  the  last  time 
he  ever  saw  his  family.  His 
father  was  a  minister  of  the 
Church  of  Christ  in  Poland,  but 
Paul  has  had  no  word  from  him 
and  fears  he  may  be  dead. 

In  Europe  students  can't  work 
and  go  to  school  as  they  do  here 
because  they  have  five  or  six 
hours  of  required  work  that 
they  must  take.  All  of  the  Uni- 
versities in  Poland  are  State 
Universities.  There  are  6  years 
of  public  school  and  6  years  of 
high  school  over  there.  You  must 
take  an  exam  to  enter  and  on- 
other  to  leave  high  school. 

Sports  are-  a  little  different  in 
Europe  than  they  are  here  in 
the  U.  S..  hut  volleyball,  bos- 
kctball,  ond  footballs  are  favor- 
ites there  also.  They  do  not  play 
baseball,  but  a  game  called  "pa- 
lant"  takes  its  place.  It  is  played 
with  a  bat  that  is  smaller  and 
flatter  than  a  baseball  bat. 

Christmas  in  Poland  is  much 
the  same  as  it  is  here.  On  the 
day  before  Christmas  the  chil- 
dren begin  watching  for  the 
first  star  of  the  evening.  When 
it  is  spotted,  all  work  stops  and 
the  family  gathers  together  for 
n  big  Christmas  Eve  supper. 
The  Catholics  put  straw  under 
their  tables  to  signify  the  man- 
ger in  which  Chrbt  was  bom. 

Professor  Stuckenbruck  met 
Paul  in  Germany  in  Januar>-  of 
1950.  He  recommended  him  to 
the  Elastem  Christian  Institute 
in  Orange.  New  Jersey.  After 
taking  work    there.   Paul  came

two  years.  He  taught  history  at 
Ohio  State  University  while 
working  on  his  graduate  de- 
grees. He  is  married  and  has 
three  daughters.  His  broad  ex- 
perience and  background  have 
equipped  him  for  the  place  of 
leadership  which  he  holds  in  the 
community.  He  is  a  member  of 
the  Phi  Alpha  Theta  and  Phi 
Delta  Kappa  fraternities,  the 
Near  East  Historical  Associa- 
tion, and  the  Masonic  lodge.  He 
has  been  honored  by  inclusion 
in  Who'i  Who  Among  Educa- 
tors, Who's  Who  In  The  South 
and  South-West  and  The  Di- 
rector of  American  Scholars. 

At  the  present  time  he  is  the 
president  of  the  Civitan  Club  in 
Johnson  City  and  an  elder  of 
Hopwood  Memorial  Christian 
Church.  Dean  Sahli  came  to 
Milligan  in  1948  and  served  as 
acting  president  prior  to  the 
inauguration  of  President  Wal-

they  came  to  Milligan  In  1951 
where  Mr.  Stuckenbruck  has 
taught  German  language  classes, 
and  philosophy,  and  assisted 
President  Walker  in  his  semi-

born  in  Germany. 

He  and  his  family  plan  to  re- 
turn to  Germany  in  the  near  fu- 
ture. 


lipperclassmen 

To  the  freshmen  and  new 
students  at  Milligan  the  Student 
Union  Building  is  something 
that  is  taken  as  a  matter  of 
course.  But  to  the  upperclass- 
men  it  represents  a  dream  come 
true,  full  of  the  memory  of 
hours  spent  soliciting  money 
and  doing  the  actual  work.  The 
date  of  the  Founders'  Day  Ban- 
quet is  approaching  when  the 
first  event  will  be  held  in  the 
Student  Union,  Therefore  it  is 
only  appropriate  that  we  review 
the  events  which  led  to  making 
this  possible. 

T,  P  Jones.  Class  of  '51.  and 
Randy  Cooper.  Class  of  '52,  both 
of  Radford.  Virginia,  had  long 
recognized  the  need  for  a  stu- 
dent union  building  on  the  Mil- 
ligan campus.  They  felt  that  it 
could  be  built  at  a  very  low 
cost  if  the  students  themselves 
would  do  the  unskilled  labor. 
Alter  working  zealously  over 
the  plans  until  they  were  suf- 
ficiently completed,  they  pre- 
sented them  to  President  Wal- 
ker After  he  had  studied  them 
the  plans  were  presented  to  the 
Board  of  Trustees  for  their  ap- 
proval. When  the  Board  had 
pledged  its  support  to  the  pro- 
ject a  faculty  meeting  was  call- 
ed, and  the  decision  of  the  Board 
was  seconded. 

On  the  morning  of  March  20, 
1951,  a  special  meeting  of  the 
Student  Council  was  called.  The 
proposal  was  placed  before  them 
and  immediately  approved. 
Within  the  next  hour  the  pro- 
posal was  made  to  the  students 
in  Chapel,  and  their  instantane- 
ous response  was  all  that  was 
needed  to  get  the  work  started. 
Immediately  the  students  began 
making  solicitations  of  money 
and  building  materials  from 
Johnson  City,  Elizabelhton, 
alumni,  and  friends.  Before  the 
first  month  was  over  approxi- 
mately $5,000  had  been  obtained. 

On  Monday,  April  23,  ground- 
breaking ceremonies  took  place 
at  the  building  site.  President 
Walker  turned  the  first  soil, 
and  then  the  golden  shovel  was 
passed  'to  Mr.  Frank  Hannah, 
Sr.,  President  of  the  Board  of 
Trustees.  Dr.  Donald  G.  Sahli. 
Academic  Dean  of  the  School, 
came  next,  followed  by  T.  P. 
Jones  and  Randy  Cooper,  and 
the  president  of  each  class.  Pro- 
fessor Sam  Hyder,  the  oldest 
facult>-  member  from  the  view 
of  years  of  teaching  here  and  the 
only  one  who  has  seen  all  of  the 
buildings  constructed,  concluded 
the  ceremony. 

From  then  until  now  the  storj" 
has  been  one  of  hard  work  on 
the*  part  of  everj'one  involved 
The  students  cleared  the  land, 
dug  the  basement,  helped  lay 
concrete  blocks,  and  assisted  In 
all  of  the  million  and  one  odds 
and  ends  that  are  continulaly 
needing  to  be  done.  Sometimes 
the  work  went  fast,  but  more 
often  than  not  it  was  slowed 
down  due  to  the  lack  of  funds.

World  Economic 

(Continued  From  Page  One) 
any  serious  depression  or  infla- 
tion in  the  Umted  States  must 
now  be  added  the  effects  upon 
the  precariously  balanced  eco- 
nomies of  other  countries  all 
around  the  world. 

"A  depression  here  would 
close  the  American  market  for 
foreign  goods  more  effectively 
than  a  high  tariff.  Inflation  in 
the  U-  S.  will  raise  the  prices 
paid  by  many  countries  for  es- 
sential imports,  not  only  di- 
rectly from  us  but  also  in  world 
markets.  In  either  case  the 
economic  stability  of  foreign 
countries  and  their  ability  to 
maintain  living  standards  and 
security  programs  would  be 
threatened. 
'Vital  to  Stability,  Seciirity' 

"The  present  world  sitixation 
therefore  makes  even  more  im- 
portant what  should  in  any  case 
be  the  objectives  of  United 
States  domestic  economic  policy. 
We  must  keep  the  United  States 
economy  free,  dynamic  and 
reasonably  stable.  This  has  now 
become  vital  to  the  stability  and 
security  of  the  whole  non-com- 
munist world. 

"It  is  essential  not  only  to 
maintain  reasonable  economic 
stability  in  the  United  States 
but  also,  so  far  as  possible,  to 
create  confidence  that  stability 
will  be  mamtained.  Fear  of 
American  economic  instability 
IS  an  obstacle  to  the  closer  eco- 
nomic and  pohticai  association 
of  the  non-communist  countries. 
And  the  behef  that  capitalist 
societies  are  inherently  and  vio- 
lently unstable  has  been  a  main 
point  of  communist  propaganda. 
Of  course,  absolute  stability  is 
not  to  be  expected  in  a  free, 
dynamic  society.  But  reason- 
able stability  is  achievable  and 
would  be  a  major  gain, 

"The  threat  to  our  security, 
and  the  measures  we  must  take 
to  meet  it,  make  the  objectives 
of  a  free,  stable  and  growing 
economy  more  difficult  to 
achieve.  Large  budgets,  for  ex- 
ample, create  a  danger  of  in- 
flation. Taxes  to  finance  these 
budgets  may  impede  economic 
growth-  And  a  general  con- 
sciousness of  danger  leads  to 
the  acceptance  of  crisis  meas- 
ures,   freedom-restricting   meas- 


ures, for  meeting  problems  that 
m    a    more   normal    atmosphere 
would  be  met  in  other  ways. 
Problemt    Can  Be  Met 

"These  are  real  difficulties, 
but  they  are  not  insuperable. 
Unless  security  programs  far 
exceed  the  amounts  now  plan- 
ned, or  unless  the  mtemational 
situation  deteriorates  seriously, 
we  believe  that  sound  pubhc 
policy  and  responsible  private 
action  can  overcome  these  dif- 
ficulties. 

"In  the  past  ten  years  CED 
has  issued  many  pohcy  state- 
ments on  aspects  of  this  prob- 
lem. These  statements  empha- 
size the  importance  of  ngorous 
control  of  governmental  expen- 
ditures, the  adoption  of  fiscal, 
monetary  and  credit  policies  to 
help  offset  tendencies  toward 
inflation  and  depression,  to  en- 
courage investment  and  streng- 
then incentives  to  increase  out- 
put; avoidance  of  direct  gov- 
ernment control  over  prices  and 
wages  except  in  extreme  emer- 
gency; and  self-restraint  by  or- 
ganized political  and  economic 
groups  m  pressing  their  de- 
mands upon  the  national  econ- 
omy" 


THE  KNOWLES  DUO 

The  first  number  in  the  1952- 
53  Milligan  College  lecture  and 
concert  series  will  be  a  delight- 
fully staged  concert  by  the 
Knowles  Duo.  This  team  con- 
sisting of  Adriana  Knowles, 
mezzo  soprano,  and  Paul 
Knowles,  tenor,  features  cos- 
tumed scenes  from  the  world's 
most  popular  operas,  operettas 
and  musical  comedies.  The  con- 
cert will  be  held  m  the  MiUigan 
College  auditorium  at  8:00  p.m., 
on  Monday,  November  3. 

This  will  be  the  first  in  a  se- 
ries which  will  include  the  pre- 
sentation of  'The  Late  Christo- 
pher Bean,"  by  the  Barter  The- 
atre, a  lecture  by  General 
Brougher,  dramatic  -scenes  por- 
trayed by  .Hal  and  Ruby  Hol- 
brook  and  concerts  by  Lloyd  La 
Vaux,  accordianist,  and  Lillian 
Kallir,  pianist. 

An  increasmg  number  of  peo- 
ple of  East  Tennessee  have  been 
sharing  the  enjoyment  of  the  tal- 
ent brought  by  these  Milligan 
College  series.  The  Knowles  con- 
cert will  be  open  to  the  public. 


GONE  WITH  THE  WIND 
(Better    KnowTi    A»   The    Draft) 

Major  J.  W.  Donnell.  U  S.M.C.. 
visited  the  campus  on  October 
21  and  spoke  to  an  assembly  of 
students  concerning  the  new 
officer  training  program  for  col- 
lege students-  Draft  deferment 
is  given  to  those  who  partici- 
pate in  the  program. 

The  present  policy  of  the  Se- 
lective Service  is  to  grant  defer- 
ment to  college  students  who 
place  in  the  upper-half  of  the 
male  population  of  the  fresh- 
man class  academically,  and  per- 
mit them  to  enroll  for  their  sec- 
ond year  in  college.  Their  de- 
ferment continues  if  they  place 
in  the  upper  two-thirds  of  the 
male  population  of  the  sopho- 
more class.  Also  m  the  junior 
year  it  is  slacked  to  the  upper 
three-fourths  of  the  male  popu- 
lation of  the  class.  Semors  de- 
siring to  attend  graduate  school 
will  be  deferred  if  they  were 
in  the  upper  half  of  the  male 
population  of  the  graduating 
class.  This,  however,  does  not 
mean  that  the  local  board  must 
observe  this  policy.  According 
to  Milligan's  academic  dean, 
the  experience  has  been  that 
local  boards  do  grant  defer- 
ments with  a  negligible  number 
of  exceptions. 

The  Selective  Service  has 
launched  a  testing  program  de- 
signed to  test  the  relative  quali- 
fications of  registrants  for  col- 
lege study  and  their  aptitude  for 
continued  college  work-  The  test 
is  called  the  Selective  Service 
college  qualification  test  and 
will  be  given  December  4,  1952 
and  April  23,  1953,  In  order  to 
take  the  test,  a  man  must  be  reg- 
istered with  Selective  Service, 
must  be  pursuing  a  full-time  col- 
lege course  (15  hours  at  Milli- 
gan). and  must  not  previously 
have  taken  the  test.  Applica- 
tion blanks  are  available  at  any 
local  Selective  Service  board. 
The  test  lasts  for  three  hours 
and  the  score  is  sent  to  the  local 
board  having  jurisdiction  of  the 
examineje.  The  test  is  not  com- 
pulsory, but  is  designed  to  give 
the  local  board  more  evidence 
upon  which  to  base  decisions. 
Complete  information  is  avail- 
able in  Dean  Sahli's  office.

Meet  The  Bajkos 

(Continued  From  Page  One) 
to  Milligan'  He  will  graduate  in 
June. 

Adela  is  from  Lodz.  Poland 
and  Paul  is  from  Pinsk.  They 
plan  to  stay  here  in  the  States 
until  they,  get  their  American 
citizenship,  and  then  (when  the 
iron  curtain  is  lifted)  they  want 
to  go  back  to  Europe  as  mis- 
sionaries to  their  own  people. 

There  is  one  other  member 
of  the  family  that  you  haven't 
met.  She  is  a  very  pretty  baby 
girl  named  Yvonne  (or  Iwonna 
in  Polish)  and  she  was  bom  in 
Toronto  on  May  23.   1952. 

Wo  feel  that  we  are  very  for- 
tunate in  having  the  Bajkos 
with  us  at  Milligan  this  year. 
If  you  haven't  gotten  acquainted 
with  them,  go  over  to  their 
apartment  and  have  a  chat  with 
them.  You  can  talk  in  any  one 
of  the  five  languages  that  they 
speak  so  fluently.  I  am  sure 
that  you  will  find  them  as 
charming  and  friendly  as  I  did. 
and  I  used  plain  old  English. 


CHOIR 

Those  noises  coming  from  the 
auditorium  around  1 1 :30  these 
days  are  nothing  about  which 
to  get  alarmed.  It  is  only  the 
new  choir  learning  some  of  the 
music  it  will  be  using  this  year. 
Miss  White  was  tickled  pink 
■  over  the  huge  response  she  had 
for  choir  members  this  semes- 
ter. Sixty-seven  students  sign- 
ed up  for  choir,  but  that  num- 
ber has  been  narrowed  down  to 
fifty-seven.  When  tour  time 
rolls  around  a  trailer  may  have 
to  be  hooked  on  to  the  bus  in 
order  to  get  everyone  on  board, 
but  right  now  things  are  look- 
ing good  for  the  '52-"53  edition 
of  the  Milligan  College  Choir. 

The  first  big  programs  ahead 
of  the  choir  will  be  the  Christ- 
mas pageant  here  in  our  own 
auditorium,  a  program  at  the 
Veterans  Administration,  and 
another  at  the  East  Unaka 
church  in  Johnson  City. 

A  girls'  sextette  and  two 
quartets  have  been  organized 
this  year.  You  will  be  hearing 
more  from  them  later. 


ANNUAL 

The  annual  staff  meets  each 
Wednesday  at  3:30  in  Room  108. 
All  members  of  the  staff  are 
urged  to  be  present  at  each 
meeting,  for  plans  for  the  "53 
annual  are  being  completed,  and 
the  help  of  each  person  is 
needed. 

The  staff  also  requests  that 
you  put  your  snapshots  in  the 
box  across  from  the  Registrar's 
office  or  give  them  to  Miss 
Smith  or  Karlyn  Marshall  as 
soon  as  possible. 


WHAT  HAPPENED 
TO  THE  d.  (L's? 


STUDENT  COUNCIL 

1  think  by  this  time  ever>- 
member  of  the  Student  Council 
is  knowTi  to  the  students,  but 
just  to  let  you  in  on  everything. 
I  will  give  you  some  more  in- 
formation about  each  class  rep- 
resentative. 

This  organization  was  formed 
to  promote  better  relationship 
between  faculty  and  students 
Through  this  group  the  faculty 
may  leam  of  the  students'  prob- 
lems and  interests. 

The  Student  Council  is  led  by 
a  senior  physical  education 
major  from  Lambsburg,  Vir- 
ginia, Tom  Hawks.  Another  sen- 
ior from  that  town  is  Randolph 
"Red"  Lyons,  who  is  also  major- 
ing in  physical  education.  Gene 
Click  from  Morehaven,  Florida, 
is  a  senior  whose  major  is  re- 
ligion. Jean  Ball,  physical  edu- 
cation major  from  High  Point. 
North  Carolina,  and  Kitty  Rae 
Irvin,  religion  major  from  Avis, 
Pennsylvania,  are  the  two  senior 
girls  on  the  council. 

Like  the  senior  class,  the  jun- 
iors have  two  boys  and  two  girls 
on  the  Council  Bill  Thomas 
from  Scranton.  Pennsylvania 
and  Tom  "Doc"  Hawes  from 
Columbus.  Indiana,  are  repre- 
sentatives majoring  in  religion 
and  physical  education  respec- 
tively. Sally  Bonner,  Paines- 
ville,  Ohio,  and  Gert  Archer.  St 
Joseph.  Illinois,  are  juniors 
whose  majors  are  elementary 
education. 

The  sophomores  and  freshmen 
have  two  representatives  on  the 
CouncU.  Margaret  Jane  Smith- 
son,  Bristol.  Tennessee,  is  a 
sophomore  whose  major  is  busi- 
ness administration  and  Bill 
Mahan,  a  business  administra- 
tion major  from  Appalachia, 
Virginia,  are  members  of  the 
Student  Council. 

Two  new  students  to  the 
campus  are  the  freshmen  rep- 
resentatives. Jerry  Wagner, 
whose  major  is  religion  is  from 
Canton,  Ohio,  and  Katie  Col- 
bert is  majoring  in  music  and  ii 
from  Fairfield,  Illinois.    In  case 


LIBRARY 

The  library  is  being  changed 
around  a  bit,  so  as  to  make  the 
books  more  accessible  for  the 
students.  All  the  t>ooks  that 
formerly  had  been  in  the  stack 
room  have  been  put  into  the 
southwest  room  on  the  shelves 
and  stacks  there.  It  had  been 
rather  difficult  for  the  students 
to  find  a  book  in  the  etack  room 
up  until  this  time.  The  maga- 
zines are  also  being  sorted  over 
and  prepared  for  binding. 

Books  of  value  that  formerly 
have  been  out  of  circulation 
have  been  shelved  again  for  use 
by  the  students.  This  makes  the 
shelves  rather  full  and  every 
available  space  has  been  used- 
There  are  several  boxes  of  books 
that  various  people  have  do- 
nated to  the  library  that  are 
still  in  storage  because  of  lack 
of  space.  It  is  hoped  that  soon 
space  will  be  found  so  that  these 
books  also  can  be  put  onto  the 
shelves  because  of  their  useful- 
ness. That  is  one  of  the  main 
purposes  for  this  move. 

The  job  of  moving  the  books 
is  one  that  will  take  several 
weeks  to  finish  and  until  that 
time  the  library  may  be  found 
in  somewhat  of  a  mess.  But 
when  this  has  been  accomplish- 
ed, then  it  is  hoped  to  be  one 
of  the  most  pleasant  places  on 
the  campus.

MILLIGAN'S  COACH  OPTIMISTIC 


CHRISTIAN    SERVICE 
CLUB   NEWS 

The  Christian  Service  Club  is 
off  to  a  very  fine  start  this 
year.  The  first  business  of  the 
year  was  the  organization  of 
sixteen  gospel  teams  which  will 
take  programs  out  to  surround- 
ing churches,  at  their  request. 
These  teams  are  composed  of 
five  or  six  members  each.  The 
club's  first  act  of  Christian 
Service  was  the  purchasing  of 
a  complete  outfit  for  a  needy 
second  grade  boy  from  Happy 
Valley. 

A  series  of  programs  is  now 
underway  for  the  Monday  night 
meetings  in  which  faculty  mem- 
bers of  the  various  departments 
bring  their  conception  of  the 
relation  of  their  major  field  to 
the  total  work  of  the  church. 
These  have  proved  very  helpful 
and  most  interesting.  Ever>'- 
body  and  anybody  is  invited  to 
meet  with  us  and  enjoy  the 
many  rich  blessings  which  come 
from  Christian  fellowship. 


SERVICE  SEEKERS 

The  first  meeting  of  the  Serv- 
ice Seekers  was  a  candlelight 
installation  service  held  in  the 
Prayer  Room.  Miss  Welshimer 
was  the  speaker,  and  after  the 
meeting  she  entertained  the 
girls  with  refreshments  in  the 
parlors  of  Hardin  Hall.  Mrs.  Ed 
Wood  was  the  speaker  for  the 
October  meeting. 

Members  of  the  Service  Seek- 
ers are  going  to  the  Christian 
Home  in  Ellzabethton  twice  a 
month  to  help  with  the  children 
there.  Anyone  wanting  to  go 
with  them  should  see  one  of  the 
officers  of  the  club. 

The  officers  of  the  Service 
Seekers  ace: 

President,  Alice  MacDonald; 
Vice-President.  Arlene  Seal; 
Secretary-Treasurer,  Sue  Dor-

THE  SPANISH  CLUB 
{CLUB  PANAMERICANA) 
Club  Panamericana  got  off  to 
a  good  start  with  plans  being 
made  for  a  successful  year.  The 
first  thing  will  be  the  annual 
party  for  the  new  members 
which  will  take  place  Monday, 
October  27.  Other  events  will 
be  a  banquet,  a  Panamerican 
Day.  and  a  joint  meeting  with 
"State."  With  the  help  of  each 
and  every  member,  the  club 
should  prove  to  be  helpful  and 
entertaining  to  those  who  take 
part. 

Jean  Ball,  a  senior,  is  presi- 
dent of  this  club. 


THE  HOBBY  CLUB 

The  hobby  club  is  for  those 
who  like  to  work  with  their 
hands.  It  is  especially  useful 
to  those  who  are  planning  to  be 
elementary  school  teachers  and 
those  who  plan  to  work  with 
youth  groups  o'f  any  kind.  This 
year  we  have  started  tinting 
pictures  and  textile  painting. 
We  also  plan  to  make  rugs, 
wood  -  work,  basket  -  weaving, 
figurine  painting,  and  any  oth- 
er crafts  on  which  the  members 
may  wish  to  work. 

The  hobby  club  is  open  to  any 
person  who  might  be  interested 
in  handicrafts.  Meetings  are 
held  each  Tuesday  afternoon  at 
Prof.  Hyder's  at  1:30  p.m. 

Arlene  Seal,  a  junior  from  Mc- 
Keesport.  Pa.,  is  the  president 
of  this  club.  Arlene  has  many 
things  that  were  a  project  of 
this  club.  If  you  would  talk  to 
her,  I'm  sure  she  could  tell  you 
of  the  advantage  to  learn  crafts. 


MINISTERIAL  ASSOCIATION 
The  first  meeting  of  the  year 
was  held  in  the  Prayer  Room 
on  September  19.  The  president 
appointed  Bill  Dever  to  serve 
as  the  pulpit  supply  commit- 
tee. Amon  McSwords  to  ser\'e 
as  the  membership  committee, 
and  Richard  Carpenter  to  serve 
as  the  publicity  committee.  The 
third  Tuesday  of  each  month  at 
C:30  p.m.  was  voted  as  the  reg- 
ular monthly  meeting  time.  The 
Constitution  was  read  to  the 
group  and  plans  were  made  for 
the  Installation  Service  for  the 
new  members.

PRE-MED  CLUB 

The  Pre-Med'Club  is  off  to 
an  exceptionally  good  start  for 
what  promises  to  be  a  busy  and 
profitable  year  The  club  met

esting programs  at  these  meet- 
ings including  speakers  and 
films  (dealing  with  some  phase 
of  medicine)  which  all  inter- 
ested students  and  faculty 
members  will  be  welcome  to  at- 
tend 

The  officers  elected  to  serve 
the  club  this  year  are  as  fol- 
lows: President,  Manbel  Bare;

Behind  The  * 
Sports  Scene 

By  "TUB" 

Well,  all  you  Buffalo  follow- 
ers, here  is  the  start  of  a  new 
school  year.  The  leaves  are  fall- 
ing, the  sky  is  blue  and  the 
clouds  are  white,  so  why  don't 
all  of  us  give  that  ol"  Buffalo 
yell  and  start  the  year  off  right? 

Yes,  I  believe  the  year  looks 
good  for  the  sports  minded  per- 
sons. Just  hop  down  to  the 
football  field  about  4:30  on  Mon- 
days. Wednesdays  or  Fridays. 
You  will  see  good  sports,  playing 
good  football.  Even  though  they 
are  playing  only  touch  ball  the 
game  can  get  pretty  rough,  just 
ask  Amon  if  you  need  proof. 

You  may  also  see  a  good  bas- 
ketball program  at  Cheek  gym 
on  Wednesdays  and  Fridays. 
There  have  been  two  games 
each  night.  One  scheduled  for 
6:30,  another  at  7:30.  The  fel- 
lows playing  would  surely  like 
to  have  a  big  audience,  so  why 
not  take  time  out  from  your 
studies  and  drop  over?  You  can 
yell  and  have  a  big  time. 

The  intramural  program  is 
sponsored  by  th^  Physical  Edu- 
cation Club.  Leonard  Gallimore, 
from  Floyd,  Virginia,  is  presi- 
dent of  -this  club.  He,  Tom 
Hawks  and  Bob  Williams 
work  together  in  the  planning 
and  setting  up  of  this  program. 

Tom.  who  is  from  Lambsburg. 
Virginia,  is  in  charge  of  foot- 
ball. He  planned  the  schedule. 
saw  that  there  were  referees  to 
officiate  the  games  and  was  on 
hand  himself  to  straighten  out 
any  difficulties. 

Bob.  a  native  of  Radford,  Vir- 
ginia, set  up  the  basketball 
teams,  scheduled  the  games  and 
saw  that  there  were  referees  to 
call  the  games. 


PREACHING  CLINIC 
A  new  feature  made  its  de- 
but on  Tuesday  evening,  Octo- 
ber 14  on  the  campus.  Under 
the  leadership  of  Professor  Ed- 
wards, head  of  the  religion  de- 
partment, twenty  ministerial 
students  met  at  Hopwood  Me- 
morial Christian  Church  at  7:00 
p.m .  to  inaugurate  a  program 
which  will  be  a  regular  weekly 
event.  The  purpose  is  to  give 
the  students  the  benefit  of  shar- 
ing in  group  discussions  and 
criticisms  of  preaching.  Three 
men  are  permitted  to  preach 
each  session  and  pick  a  partner 
to  read  the  Scripture  for  them. 
In  this  way  it  is  hoped  to  im- 
prove the  students'  talents  and 
develop  self-criticism.  The  key- 
note sermon  was  preached  by 
Glenn  Barton  of  Wilkinson,  In- 
diana. Jim  Burgett  of  Green- 
wood, Ind..  and  Rolond  Nagle 
of  Columbus,  Ohio,  completed 
the  program.  Max  Harrison  of 
Shell  Creek,  Tcnn ,  and  John 
Worrell  of  Danville,  Ind..  read 
the  Scripture.  Those  attending 
were  impressed  with  the  quality 
of  the  preaching,  and  the  three 


MISS  SMITH 

In  case  anyone  has  noticed 
the  growth  on  Miss  Marie 
Smith's  3rd  finger  of  her  left 
hand  and  is  wondering  about  it. 
let  us  hasten  to  explain.  The 
growth  appeared  this  summer, 
and  we  have  been  assured  that 
it  is  both  serious  and  permanent. 
Authorities  on  the  subject  say 
that  it  stems  from  some  kind  of 
heart  trouble.  Miss  Ruth  White, 
another  member  of  the  faculty, 
is  suffering  from  the  same 
disease. 

Mr.  Gene  Rentz.  Spanish 
prof  at  Duke  University,  has 
studied  the  situation  thorough- 
ly (being  a  very  close  friend  of 
Miss  Smith),  and  he  tells  us 
that  he  expects  Miss  Smith's 
ailment  to  get  worse  next  sum- 
mer and  another  growth  to  ap- 
pear on  the  same  finger. 

As  Miss  Smith  has  been  an 
excellent  teacher  and  a  good 
friend  to  all  of  us,  we  will  hate 
to  see  her  leave  MilHgan  next' 
year,  but  we  strongly  advise 
that  she  get  something  done 
about  that  finger. 

The  girls  in  Hardin  and  Cheek 
have  been  admiring  Miss 
Smith's  growth  and  wondering 
if  they  would  get  a  similar  one 
if  they  went  to  Duke  next  sum- 
mer. 

preachers  were  appreciative  of 
the  helpful  observations  of  their 
audience. 

The  next  clinic  will  be  held 
on  OcL  2B  at  which  time  Jerry 
Wagner  of  Canton.  Ohio,  Max 
Johnson  of  Lynn.  Ind.,  and  Max 
Harrison  of  Shell  Creek,  Tcnn.. 
are  scheduled  to  preach.  These 
sessions  arc  open  to  anyone  who 
may  be  interested.

Jack  Robinson^ 
Ail-American 

By    LEONARD   GALLIMORE 

While  spending  a  few  days  at 
home  this  summer.  I  chanced  to 
attend  a  Youth  Rally  or  Cru- 
sade for  Christ  meeting  at  the 
American  Legion  Auditorium  in 
Roanoke,  Virginia. 

The  first  thing  I  noticed  was 
that  the  place  was  jammed — the 
next  was  the  smooth,  sincere 
way  the  youthful  minister  was 
delivering  the  message. 

I  later  learned  that  this  fel- 
low. Jack  Robinson,  had  been 
an  All  -  American  basketball 
player  for  two  years  and  had 
also  played  in  the  Olympic 
games  in  London  in  1948. 

Jack  was  not  only  the  "great- 
est high  school  basketball  play- 
er in  interscholastic  league  his- 
tory." at  his  Paschal  High  in 
1945,  but  also  received  14  let- 
ters in  baseball,  football,  and 
track  In  1947.  while  at  Baylor 
University  on  a  scholarship. 
Jack  received  the  Jack  Demp- 
sey  "Outstanding  Athlete 
Award."  In  1946  and  1948  he 
was  named  to  one  of  the  All- 
American  teams. 

It  was  in  1948  when  Jack  was 
a  member  of  the  American 
Olympic  team  that  he  had  a 
chance  to  preach  to  the  entire 
American  crew  while  on  their 
way  to  England  on  the  S.  S. 
American.  Jack  also  delivered 
the  Olympic  sermon  that  year 
that  was  broadcast  over  all 
major  networks. 

He  has  turned  down  numer- 
ous offers  to  play  professional 
basketball  because  he  was  led 
by  God  to  preach.  He  is  still  at- 
tending school  working  on  a 
doctor's  degree  and  holding 
meetings  like  this  one  in  Roa- 
noke during  the  summers. 

Religion  and  Athletics  supple- 
ment each  other,  according  to 
Jack.  Maybe  that  is  why  many 
of  the  great  names  in  the  sports 
field  have  been  connected  with 
some  part  of  the  church.  You 
only  have  to  start  thinking 
about  the  sports  great  to  re- 
member some  of  the  greatest 
men  of  God. 

Truly,  Jack  Robinson  should 
be  an  example  to  all  of  us,  a 
really  great  man  whose  head 
was  never  turned  to  the  lure  of 
big  money  but  whose  heart  and 
soul  was  steadfastly  devoted  to 
something  bigger  and  better 
than  worldly  gain — a  life  de- 
voted to  living  and  preaching 
God's  work  and  the  ultimate  re- 
ward of  eternal  life  at  the  end 
of  earth's  joumeyings. 


PHI  ETA  TAU 

The  newest  club  on  campus  is 
the  Phi  EU  Tau.  It  is  made  up 
of  all  girls  who  are  majoring  or 
minoring  in  physical  education. 
Girls  who  show  a  vital  interest 
in  physical  education  may  be- 
come honorary  members  of  the 
club. 

Mrs.  Vest  is  the  sponsor  of 
the  Phi  EtQ  Tau.  and  the  offi- 
cers are: 

President,  Joan  Ball;  Vice- 
President.  Betty  Jo  Mise;  Secre- 
tary. Pat  Wilson;  Treasurer, 
Ruth  Owens;  Reporter.  Sue 
Jackson.

Coach  Optimistic 
About  Season 

Perhaps  Coach  Walker 
doesn't  want  to  step  off  the  deep 
end  this  early  in  the  season- 
But  who  can  blame  him?  He 
says  he  is  optimistic  about  the 
coming  season  on  the  hard- 
wood and  would  "not  comment 
further.  Perhaps  he  is  a  smart 
man  not  to  count  his  chickens 
before  they  are  hatched.  After 
all,  he  has  only  seen  the  fresh- 
men in  a  few  intramural  games, 
so  he  does  not  know  for  sure 
with  what  he  will  have  to  work- 
What  he  has  seen  must  look 
hopeful  or  he  would  not 
have  ventured  as  far  as  he  did. 
Coach  seems  to  think  that  the 
new  set-up  in  g>'m  classes  is 
pleasing  to  ever>'one.  There  has 
been  an  increased  interest  in 
archery  and  in  horseshoes.  The 
archery  targets  have  been  placed 
in  front  of  Cheek,  and  the 
horseshoe  pits  are  located  on 
the  west  side  of  the  gym.  Coach 
was  also  seen  placing  some 
stakes  for  horseshoes  beside  the 
store  on  Saturday.  He  invites 
the  couples  on  the  campus  to 
pitch  a  few  games.  Why  not  try 
it? 

Interest  has  also  been  shown 
for  speedball.  Goals  have"  been 
erected  on  the  football  field  for 
this  fine  sport. 

The  fall  colors  have  a  new 
meaning  for  Coach  and  Mrs. 
Walker.  They  love  the  red  and 
gold  of  the  leaves  and  the  cool 
mornings.  The  campus  seems  to 
hold  a  new  meaning  when  the 
leaves  change,  especially  since 
there  is  a  pair  of  new  eyes  in 
the  Walker  household  since  last 
fali 

Here  is  a  warning  from  the 
Coach  to  the  boys:  Varsity 
players  may  not  participate  in 
intramural  basketball  after  the 
first  half  of  the  program  is 
over.  The  first  half  is  over  about 
the  second  week  in  November. 
These  three  men  deserve  a 
lot  of  credit  for  the  work  they 
have  done:  let's  all  give  them  a 
big  hand! 

Basketball  practice  began  on 
October  20  There  seems  to  be 
much  enthusiasm  from  everj'- 
one  concerning  prospects  for  a 
good  team  %iis  year.  There  are 
six  lettermen  back:  Sam  Greer, 
captain  of  last  year's  team;  Phil 
Roush,  one  of  our  leading  scor- 
ers last  year;  Grant  La\-man. 
Doug  Morehead,  Pat  Hand  and 
Bill  Castcel.  These  six  along 
with  the  freshmen  hoopsters 
should  be  able  to  show  a  good 
season  on  the  hardwood.    , 

A  good  basketball  team  de- 
serves a  good  cheering  section. 
I  certainly  think  that  everyone 
could  find  time  to  come  out  to 
see  their  school  team  in  action- 
All  of  you  who  yell  about 
"school  spirit"  should  get  be- 
hind the  rest  and  get  them  to 
come  to  see  the  games.  Basket- 
ball con  be  a  big  thing  here  at 
MiUigan  if  only  we  can  get  some 
support  So  come  on.  let's  all 
bet  on  the  Buffs  and  back  our 
bets  by  being  at  all  the  home 
games. 

It  is  too  early  yet  for  the  pub- 
lishing of  the  years  schedule  in 
basketball.  It  will  be  about  the 
same  as  last  year,  according  to 
Coach  Walker.  He  has  not  yet

THE  STAMPEDE 


FRIDAY,  OCT.  31.  1952 


Selective  Senice 
Qualification  Test 
Deadline  Is  Nov.  I 

Selective  Service  officials  to- 
day reminded  college  students 
that  the  deadline  for  submitting 
applications  for  the  Decemtter 
4  Selective  Service  College 
Qualification  Test  is  midnight 
November  1  (Saturday),  and 
that  applications  postmarked 
after  that  time  cannot  be  con- 
sidered. Local  draft  boards  have 
an  adequate  supply  of  test  ap- 
plication blanks  on  hand  for 
draft-eligible  students. 

Students  are  to  mail  their 
completed  applications  to  Edu* 
cational  Testing  Service  of 
Princeton.  New  Jersey. 

To  be  eligible  to  apply  for  the 
college  deferment  test  a  student 
must  (1)  intend  to  request  de- 
ferment as  a  student;  (2)  Ije  sat- 
isfactorily pursuing  a  full-time 
course  of  instruction;  and  (3) 
must  not  have  previously  taken 
the  Selective  College  Qualifi- 
cation Test. 

Another  test  will  be  held 
April  23,  1953  but  General  Her- 
shey  emphasized  that  increasing 
manpower  demands  make  it  im- 
portant that  each  draft-eligible 
student  who  has  not  taken  the 
test  to  do  so  as  soon  as  possible. 

Students  whose  academic  year 
will  end  in  Januar>'  1953  have 
been  urged  to  lake  the  Decem- 


ber 4,  1952  test  so  they  will  have 
a  test  score  in  their  cover  sheets 
before  the  end  of  their  academic 
year,  at  which  time  their  boards 
will  reopen  and  reconsider  their 
cases  to  determine  whether  they 
should  be  deferred  as  students. 

The  present  criteria  for  de- 
ferment as  an  undergraduate 
student  are  either  a  satisfactory 
score  (70)  on  the  Selective  Serv- 
ice College  Qualification  Test  or 
specified  rank  in  class  (upper 
half  of  male  freshman  class,  up- 
per two-thirds  of  the  male  soph- 
omore class,  or  upper  three- 
fourths  of  the  male  junior  class). 

Students  accepted  for  admis- 
sion or  attending  a  graduate 
school  prior  to  July  1,  1951  sat- 
isfy the  criteria  if  their  work  is 
satisfactory.  Graduate  students 
admitted  or  attending  after  July 
1,  1951  must  have  been  in  the 
upper  half  of  their  classes  dur- 
ing their  senior  year  or  make  a 
score  of  75  or  better  on  their 
test.  It  is  not  mandatory  for 
local  boards  to  follow  the  cri- 
teria. 

(General  Hershey  has  empha- 
sized many  times  that  the  cri- 
teria are  a  flexible  yard  stick 
and  that  the  standards  may  be 
raised  anytime  necessity  for 
manpower  demands. 

The  two  forthcoming  admin- 
istrations of  the  College  Quali- 
fication Test  represent  the 
eighth  and  ninth  testing  dat«s  of 
the  program.  In  the  first  series 
of  tests  64  per  cent  of  the  stu- 
dents achieved  a  score  of  70  or 
better.   In  the  second  series  58 


Dream  Come  True 

(Continued  From  Pag*  On*) 
Even  now  there  is  quite  a  bit 
of  work  that  needs  to  be  done, 
both  in  obtaining  more  money 
and  in  doing  the  actual  con- 
struction work. 

Yes,  to  the  upperclassmen 
this  is  a  dream  come  true,  but 
it  is  also  a  dream  that  is  only 
partially  finished.  At  the  pres- 
ent time  the  first  floor  is  al- 
most finished:  hard  wood  floors, 
knotty  pine  walls,  a  beautiful 
stone  fireplace.  However,  a 
modem  kitchen,  soda  fountain, 
bootlis,  etc.,  have  yet  to  be 
bought.  Little  work  has  been 
done  as  yet   in  the  basement, 

per  cent  of  the  students  made 
70  or  better-  The  tests  in  all 
three  series  are  equivalent  in 
difficulty. 

Use  of  tests  by  the  Selective 
Service  System,  along  with  class 
standing,  was  originally  based 
on  recommendations  of  the  six 
Scientific  Advisory  Committee 
appointed  in  1 948  by  General 
Hershey.  The  Committee's  re- 
port, presented  by  Dr  M.  H. 
Trytten,  Chairman,  was  made 
in  the  fall  of  1950.  After  a  sub- 
committee had  prepared  general 
specifications  for  a  suitable  test 
of  scholastic;,  aptitude.  Educa- 
tional Testing  Service  was  de- 
signated as  the  testing  agency 
to  carry  out  the  construction  of 
the  test  and  its  nation-wide  ad- 
ministration. 


but  that  will  come  in  due  time. 

Money  is  the  important  fac- 
tor at  the  present-  Approximate- 
ly $10,000  has  been  spent  on  the 
building,  but  $5,000  more  is 
needed  to  finish  the  job  proper- 
ly, even  on  a  moderate  scale. 
Obtaining  the  necessary  funds 
to  complete  this  project  is  the 
item  most  necessao'  right  now. 
There  have  been  many  plans 
suggested  for  doing  this;  pre- 
sented here  is  one  of  the  most 
logicaL  Each  of  the  classes  and 
each  club  can  pledge  themselves 
to  obtain  the  money  necessary  to 
buy  a  necessary  item.  For  ex- 
ample, the  sophomore  class 
might  decide  to  build  the  porch 
or  buy  a  grill,  or  the  Spanish 
Club  might  decide  to  buy  a 
booth.  They  could  obtain  the 
money  by  writing  to  their  re- 
spective home  churches  or  by 
any  other  way  that  they  might 
want  to. 

When  finished  the  Student 
Union  will  fill  a  definite  need 
on  the  Milligan  campus.  The 
first  floor  will  be  divided  into 
two  units.  One  unit  will  include 
such  facilities  as  a  soda  foun- 
tain, booths,  sandwich  grill, 
modem  kitchen,  and  provision 
for  the  sale  of  school  supplies 
and  sundry  items-  The  other 
unit  will  provide  adequate  fa- 
cilities for  banquets,  socials, 
club  meetings,  and  in  general 
become  the  center  of  student 
and  alumni  affairs.  The  base- 
ment will  contain  a  game  room, 
lounge,  rest  rooms,  and  a  heat- 
ing plant 


Ar.y&ne  v.*ho  can  sid  financial- 
ly should  contact  either  Prof- 
Hyder,  faculty  advisor  for  this 
prcjecl.  or  Frank  Colhns,  stu- 
dent in  charge  of  solicitations, 
or  Bill  Morelock.  treasurer  of 
the  project-  Those  who  desire  to 
help  manually  should  see  Phil 
Roush,  Bill  Casteel  or  Bill  Rad- 
spinner.  who  head  the  work 
committee.  It  is  up  to  us.  the 
present  students  of  Milligan.  to 
finish  the  task  that  has  been 
given  us.  Whether  the  new  Stu- 
dent Union  is  to  be  finished  is 
a  decision  which  rests  with  ev- 
er>'one  here.  Let's  make  the 
right  one.

MILLIGAN  COLLEGE,  TENNESSEE.  FRIDAY,  DECEMBER  12,  1952 


NUMBER  2 


Christmas  Pageant  Friday  Night 
Nativity  Portrayed  By  Choral  Group 


i 


This  year  the  MiUigan  College 
Choir  will  again  present  a  Chrisl- 
mas  pageant  Friday  evening.  De- 
cember 12  at  eight  o'clock  in  the 
College  auditorium. 

That  the  partition  of  time  might 
be  removed  and  we  be  carried 
back  through  the  ages  some  1,952 
years,  is  the  object  of  this  pre- 
sentation. The  script,  which  was 
first  written  by  Mrs.  Fred  Clark 
of  AtlanU,  Georgia,  was  later  re- 
written by  Miss  White  and  so 
constructed  as  to  make  the 
Christmas  story  as  vivid  and 
nearly  real  as  the  first  Christmas 
Eve. 

Miss  White  has  produced  this 
pageant  eight  times  and  each 
year  she  has  improved  the  mes- 
sage so  that  more  forcefully  im- 
prints this  Christmas  story  on  the 
minds  of  the  listeners.  Now,  in 
this  day  of  commercial  Christmas, 
MiUigan  seeks,  in  this  way,  to 
keep  Christ  in  Christmas. 

This  is  the  third  time  this 
pageant  has  been  given  at  MiUi- 
gan and  it  has  become  another 
of  the  school's  cherished  tradi- 
tions. This  year  promises  to  sur- 
pass all  previous  productions. 

Frank  Hannah  is  in  charge  of 
lighting  effects  and  all  reports 
indicate  that  this  will  be  a  very 
outstanding  part  of  the  pageant. 
With  the  combined  work  of  the 
choir  and  other  interested  stu- 
dents, this  Friday  evening  pa- 
geant will  be  one  of  the  year's 
most  sacred  experiences. 


Ministerial  Association

The  annual  InstaUation  Service 
of  the  College  Ministerial  Asso- 
ciation was  held  Tuesday  evening,

morial Church.  President  Walker 
delivered  the  Installation  sermon.

Elizabethton,  spoke  to  the  Asso- 
ciation at  its  regular  monthly 
meeting,  November  18. 

Fifteen  of  the  Association's  36

Christmas  isn't  toys  and  gadgets  'round  a  Christmas  tree, 
Lights  and  holly  hanging  high  for  everyone  to  see. 
Christmas  isn't  cards  and  candy,  gifts  and  cakes  and  tarts. 
Christmas  is  a  giving  spirit  in  the  human  heart. 

When  at  Christmastime  you  shop  for  friends  that  you  have 

made, 
There    are    gifts   you    cannot    purchase    in    the    busy    marts 

of  trade. 

For  in  the  Christmas  spirit,  things  play  so  small  a  part — 
Christmas  is  not  found  in  things — it's  found  within  your  heart.

Dr.  itahli. 

This  year's  debating  topic  will

that  ("ongress  of  the  United  States 
shoul.d  enact  a  compulsory  fair 
emplt  lyment  practices  law,"

On  New  Constitution 

Mr.  Tom  Hawks,  president  of 
the  Student  Council  has  appoint- 
ed Frank  Hannah,  Jr.,  Kitty  Rae 
Irvin  and  Jean  Ball  to  act  as  a 
committee  to  draw  up  a  constitu- 
tion for  the   Student  Council 

A  need  for  a  written  constitu- 
tion has  been  felt  for  several 
years  and  the  Council  this  year 
has  decided  that  something  be 
done  about  it.  As  soon  as  the 
constitution  is  ready  it  will  be 
presented  to  the  Council  for  ap- 
proval and  then  submitted  to  the 
entire  Student  body  for  adoption. 

It  is  hoped  that  when  this  con- 
stitution is  adopted,  it  will  enable 
the  Council  to  perform  a  better 
service  to  the  college.

talism and  Nationalism. 

Two  casts  have  been  chosen  for

terest is  being  shown  in  the  reg- 
ularly scheduled  practices.

Two  Girls  Make 
Highest  Grades 

The  boom  was  lowered  on  cam- 
pus last  week  by  such  stalwarts 
as  Professors  Jones,  Fairbanks, 
and  Lewis  (to  mention  only  a 
few).  The  boom  consisted  of  pages 
and  pages  of  mimeographed  ques- 
tions which  were  entitled  "Mid- 
Term  Exam."  When  the  screams, 
sighs,  and  groans  died  out  and 
the  smoke  cleared,  we  found  that 
two  students  of  Milligan  College 
came  through  the  first  nine  weeks 
with  straight  A's.  It  is  noteworthy 
to  mention  that  both  of  these  stu- 
dents were  girls.  This  is  indica- 
tive of  something,  but  we  won't 
say  what. 

All  kidding  aside,  our  hats  are 
off  to  Leann  Inskeep  and  Gail 
Willoughby.  Both  of  these  girls 
are  active  in  the  affairs  of  the 
school  and  still  find  time  for  ex- 
tra-curricular activities.  Leaim  is 
from  Mt,  Vernon  Illinois,  and  she 
works  each  afternoon  in  Johnson 
City,  Gail  is  from  Toronto,  Ohio, 
and  she  works  in  the  office  here 
at  Milligan- 


Students  Attend  Concerts 

Many  Milligan  students  attend- 
ed the  first  concert  of  the  Elliza- 
bethton  Concert  series,  Luis  Pich- 
ardo,  tenor.  Miss  White  took  her 
advanced  Sight  Singing  students 
to  hear  "The  Messiah"  given  at 
State  College,  Sunday  evening, 
December  7. 


Hardin  Christmas  Party 

The  Milligan  dormitory  girls 
held  their  annual  Christmas  pa- 
jama  party  in  .  Hardin-  parlors, 
Sunday  night  at  ten.  December  7. 
Gifts  were  exchanged  and  as 
usual,  Santa  was  on  the  job. 

At  the  close  of  the  party  the 
boy3  from  Pardee  paid  their 
Christmas  respects  by  singing 
Christmas  carols.  Grant  Layman's 
solo  was  especially  enjoyed  even 
though  Grant  was  not  able  to  be 
in  classes  Monday. 


Semester  Examinations 

Within  two  short  weeks  after 
vacation  days  are  over,  the  first 
semester  ends.  Officially  the  date 
is  January  24.  Examinations  are 
scheduled  to  begin  Januarj-  21 
and  grades  will  be  due  in  the  Reg- 
istrar's office  about  a  week  or 
ten  days  later. 

Advanced  registration  will  be 
held  before  the  semester  ends  so 
that  the  first  classes  for  the  new 
semester  will  begin  at  8:00  am., 
Monday  morning,  January-  26. 
This  saving  of  the  usual  registra- 
tion day  will  help  make  up  some 
of  the  time  of  the  extended  va- 
cation period.

Station  WETB  (790) 


Wednesday  evening,  December 
10,  the  Barter  Theatre  of  Virginia 
paid  its  annual  visit  to  the  Milli- 
gan campus  playing  this  year,  the 
always  popular  "The  Late  Chris- 
topher Bean." 

The  cast  for  this  play  included 
a  number  of  the  Barter  veterans 
who  have  not  appeared  in  former 
presentations  at  Milligan. 

Mr.  Owen  Phillips,  who  played 
Dr.  Haggert,  is  one  of  the  busiest 
members  of  the  Barter  company, 
serving  in  the  dual  capacity  of 
director  as  well  as  actor.  He  has 
appeared  in  many  Warner  Broth- 
ers movies  and  was  a  member  of 
the  Stuart  Walker  Repertory 
Theatre, 

A  native  of  Cincinnati,  Ohio, 
he  was  managing  director  of  the 
Actor's  Guild  and  head  of  the 
drama  department  at  the  Cincin- 
nati Conservatory  of  Music 


Rover  Gallico,  who  played 
Davenport,  is  the  son  of  the  cel- 
ebrated author.  Paul  Gallico  and 
for  two  seasons  has  thrilled  Bar- 
ter audiences  with  his  versatility 
and  character  interpretations. 

Charles  Quilivan,  was  Tallant. 
He  was  chosen  by  Miss  Cornelia 
Otis  Skinner  as  the  most  promis- 
ing young  actor  of  1950.  Before 
coming  to  Barter,  he  appeared 
with  Paulette  Goddard  and  "Cea- 
sar  and  Cleopatra,"  Shelly  Win- 
ters in  "Born  Yesterday,"  and 
Maurice  Evans  in  "Devil's  Yester- 
day." 

Cleo  HoUaday,  who  played  Su- 
san Haggert,  is  a  new-comer  to 
the  cast.  Miss  Hatladay  is  a  native 
of  Suffolk  and  is  winner  of  the 
Virginia  Award  for  the  best  ac- 
tress among  the  drama  majors  of 
Virginia  Universities  and  Colleges 
for  1951. 


Christmas  Vacation 
Workers 

It  would  be  impossible  to  tell 
where  all  our  students  will  be 
working  during  the  Christmas 
vacation  period,  but  we  have  ask- 
ed a  few  at  random  to  tell  us 
where  they  will  be  employed. 

Since  the  Republicans  are  in 
power  again  three  of  our  good 
Republican  friends  are  talung 
over  the  U.  S.  post  offices  in  Fort 
Wayne,  Indiana;  Neenah,  Wiscon- 
sin, and  Radford,  Virginia.  They 
are  Sue  Jackson.  Wally  Johnson, 
and  Bob  Williams,  rcspectivelj*. 

Pat  Ward  will  be  cheering  up 
the  patients  at  the  West  Suban 
Hospital  in  Oak  Park,  Illinois. 
E)on  t  you  fellows  wish  you  could 
have  your  tonsils  out? 

Bob  Walther  reports  that  he  is 
spending  his  vacation  sleeping.  It 
must  be  nice  to  have  enough 
money  to  be  able  to  steep. 

It  looks  as  if  Clarabelle  ^\^lite 
has  an  eye  for  the  future.  She  is 
working  at  Hahn's  Jewelry  Store 
in  Liberty,  Indiana. 

Jerry  Hughes  will  be  at  the 
Midwest  Heating  and  Service 
Company  in  Indianapolis. 

Arlenc  Seal  and  JNierrill  Bolkin 
will  be  clerking  in  department 
stores,  but  one  will  be  way  up  in 
Yankee-land  and  the  other  down 
in  sunny  Tennessee.  Arlcne  will 
be  at  the  Famous  Dcpt  Store  in 
McKeesport.  Pa.  Merrill  is  plan- 
ning to  work  at  Miller  and  Brew- 
er Dcpl.  Store  in  Harriman.

More  Meat   On  The   Menu 

A  student  walked  into  my  office  the  other  day  and 
asked,  "Why  do  I  have  to  go  to  orientation  class  and  if  it 
is  so  important  why  isn't  credit  given?"  These  questions 
introduced  a  pleasant  visit  after  which  the  student  sug- 
gested that  through  he  Sampede  I  tell  other  students 
some  of  the  points  brought  out. 

You're  now  asking  what  orientation  has  to  do  with 
"More  Meat  on  the  Menu."  Well,  think  of  modern  college 
education  as  a  trip  through  an  academic  cafeteria.  One 
can  choose  a  course  here  and  one  there  and  accumulate 
the  necessary  hours  for  a  degree.  However,  the  choices 
may  not  represent  a  balanced  diet. 

Perhaps  the  most  valid  and  often  heard  criticisms  of 
college  education  today  is  that  it  is  possible  for  one  to 
graduate  from  college  in  a  world  of  military  and  ideolog- 
ical wars  and  yet  not  have  a  comprehension  of  the  basic 
principles  of  the  American  Way  of  Life. 

This  criticism  is  valid  because  there  are  many  students 
who  chose  only  academic  appetizers,  salads  and  desserts 
and  leave  off  the  meat  course.  There  are  others  who 
valuing  the  meat  courses,  find  it  difficult  to  digest  them 
because  their  academic  background  is  one  of  having 
been  "milk  fed." 

The  Orientation  course  is  a  serious  attempt  to  insure 
that  in  the  future  every  student  graduating  from  Milli- 
gan  has  had  a  consideration  of  the  basic  concepts  and 
principles  of  his  country  brought  to  his  attention. 

You  ask  again,  "Then  why  not  give  credit  for  such'  an 
important  course?"  The  answer  is  that  to  give  credit  for 
chapel  services  or  orientation  assemblies  would  make  of 
them  ordinary  courses  and  they  are  not  such.  The  chapel 
and  orientation  assemblies  are  the  real  fibre  of  an  edu- 
cation. 

The  fact  that  many  students  do  not  appreciate  the  diet 
does  not  make  it  less  valuable.  Education  is  perhaps  the 
only  thijig  in  the  world  which  people  seem  anxious  to 
pay  for  and  then  resist  the  attempt  of  the  merchant  to 
deliver  the  goods. 

You  have  before  you  a  wholesome,  nourishing,  strength- 
ening academic  experience.    Don't  reject  the  meat. 
—DONALD  G.  SAHLI,  Dean. 


Remember  To  Put  Milligan  On  Your  Gift  List 

It  is  trite  to  repeat  our  Lord's  word  at  Christmas-time, 
"It  is  more  blessed  to  give  than  to  receive."  To  leave 
Christ  out  of  Christmas  is  to  eradicate  man's  most  pre- 
cious Christmas  gift,  God  gave  us  Christ  and  Christ 
gave  us  life  more  abundantly.  We  can  give  Christ  to 
men  by  supporting  our  school  which  stresses  "Christian 
Education  as  the  hope  of  the  world." 

Milligan  College,  a  dream  of  Josephus  Hopwood,  was 
made  a  reality  in  1882.  Since  its  conception,  Milligan  has 
surged  forth  to  serve  the  needs  of  many.  Its  influ- 
ence has  been  felt  from  Cuba  to  Canada.  Its  Alumni 
have  become  leaders  in  the  fields  of  Medicine,  nursing. 
Teaching,  Engineering,  law  and  the  Ministry. 

Your  giving  to  Milligan  will  be  shared  by  many.  So 
put  Milligan  on  your  gift  list.

My    Impression    Of    Milligan 


I  came  to  Milligan  to  standard- 
ize my  degree  from  Kentucky 
Christian  College,  The  atmo- 
sphere here  is  much  the  same  as 
that  found  in  the  Bible  college. 
There  seems  to  be  a  friendly, 
helpful  relationship  between  the 
students  and  between  the  students 
and  faculty  as  we  strive  for  an 
education  with  a  Christian  orien- 
tation. There  are  activities  to 
suit  all  students  regardless  of 
their  Interests  and  future  work; 
yet  all  are  people  of  like  ideas. 
for  there  is  a  common  bond  of 
Christian  fellowship.  The  cam- 
pus truly  la  one  of  the  most  beau- 
tiful I  have  seen.  In  all  I'm  thank- 
ful for  the  opportunity  of  being 
a  part  of  Milligan  College. 

— Mary  Frances  Denune. 


Arriving  from  a  Bible  college 
to  Milligan  to  standardize  my  de- 
gree proved  to  be  a  pleasant  ex- 
perience to  me.  In  a  Bible  col- 
lege one  has  that  unsurpassed  un- 
derstanding with  students  and  a 
faculty  who  are  interested  m  the 
same  life's  work  that  one  is  seek- 
ing. At  Milligan  not  only  does 
one  have  that  same  understand- 
ing with  many  of  the  religion 
majors  and  professors  but  also 
many  of  the  liberal  arts  majors 
are  from  Christian  homes  and  are 
vitally  interested  in  bringing 
Christ  into  their  particular  pro- 
fession and  field,  I'm  grateful 
for  the  fact  that  the  Christian 
college  affords  the  opportunity  to 
be  a  training  ground  for  effective 
church  workers  —  lay  or  minis- 
terial—  and  also  that  it  trains  our 
business  men  and  women  of  to- 
morrow In  Christian  leadership.

Good  Old  Life  At  Milligan 

We  here  at  Milligan  are  fortunate  in  that  our  secluded  area 
here  in  East  Tennessee  removes  us  from  some  of  the  most  com- 
mon problenis  faced  by  other  young  people  of  other  colleges 
throughout  the  country. 

Now,  Just  for  instance,  what  would  you  do  if: 

1  You  found  yourself  with  two  dates  for  7:00  P.  M.? 

a.  Give  Tri-Cities  Airport  a  call? 

b.  Get  a  bottle  of  poison  from  the  lab? 

c.  Acquire  a  case  of  exanUtls? 

d.  Break  a  leg? 

2  Stahl  decides  college  is  not  the  place  for  you? 

a.  Dig  a  tunnel  from  Lexington  to  Ft  Knox? 

b.  Explain  that  Grandma  just  had  an  operation  for  the 
removal  of  her  cocyx.  and  the  doctor's  bill  took 
everything  that  you  made? 

c.  Take  a  Job  reprocessing  chalk  dust  to  usable  form? 

d.  Give  Tri-Cltiea  Airport  a  call? 

3  Your  gal  (or  guy)  doesn't  write? 

a.  Shoot  Mrs,  Taylor? 

b.  Look  In  the  mirror  and  write  yourself? 

c.  Send  Truman  a  wire  and  tell  him  his  post  office 
Isn't  very  efficient? 

d.  Give  Tri-Cities  Airport  a  call? 

4  She  (or  he)  starts  dating  another? 

a.  Take  it  out  on  your  roommate? 

b.  Let  the  air  out  of  their  tires  while  they  are  in 
the  movies? 

c.  Load  up  on  shot-gun  shells? 

d.  Give  Tri-Cities  Airport  a  call? 

Like  I  said,  wc  don't  have  to  worry  about  these  things — much 
— but  if  they  should  come  up,  a  pretty  good  Idea  is  to  call  Tri- 
Cities  Airport! 


ToOiir  Benefactors 

That  there  Is  a  Milligan  Col- 
lege family  is  evident.  Besides, 
that  family  is  constantly  growing 
and  becoming  an  ever  -  greater 
reality.  This  reality  is  continual- 
ly manifesting  itself  in  good 
works  which  are  generously 
shared  with  cverbody  who  has 
the  good  fortune  of  being  within 
the  radiuii  of  Milligan's  warm  and 
benevolent  influence. 

Nor  are  those  who  share  as  well 
as  those  who  participate  in  the 
benefits  derived  from  the  sharing 
( unfined  to  the  immediate  cam- 
pus upon  which  the  school  activ- 
ities are  carried  on  and  where 
the  academic  program  is  pro- 
moted and  administered.  This  Is 
true  because  there  is  an  ever-in- 
creasing number  of  people  who  as 
a  result  of  their  genuine  interest 
in  Chrsitian  education  have,  in  a 
very  true  sense  of  the  term,  al- 
ready become  sons  and  daughters 
of  Milligan.  This  Alma  Mater  has 
embraced  them  with  her  WEirm, 
malemalistic  spirit  of  affection, 
and  is  in  many,  many  ways  utiliz- 
ing their  contributions  just  as  ef- 
fectively as  if  they  had  been  grad- 
uated or  were  in  the  process  of 
receiving  scholasitc  honors  from 
this  college. 

GIFTS  TO  MILLIGAN 

Such  good  folk  as  George  E, 
Walker  of  Canton.  Ohio,  and  the 
Paxton  Avenue  Christian  Church 
of  Chicago,  Illinois,  because  of 
their  recent  bestowal  of  lounge 
furniture  and  drapes  for  Pardee 
Hall,  are  receiving  an  unusual  ap- 
proval and  praise  at  the  hands  of 
everyone  who  is  privileged  to  ad- 
mire and  use  these  wonderful 
gifts. 

And  it  goes  without  saying  that 
the  on-campus  members  of  the 
Milligan  family  mean  to  bestow 
the  best-possible  care  upon  these 
gifts  BO  that  the  off-campus  gen- 
erosity may  not  have  been  lavish- 
ed in  vain. 

STUDENT  UNION  BUILDING 
Furthermore,  we  all  are  proud 
as  well  as  grateful  for  the  bene- 
ficence of  those  who  have  so  gen- 
erously contributed  to  the  erec- 
tion of  the  new  Student  Union 
Building,  which  is  in  its  final 
stages   of   completion. 

If  there  are  those  whose  gen- 
erosity prompts  them  to  think  in 
temu  of  floor  lamps  and  table 
lamps  for  the  lounge  at  Pardee 
Hall,  we  assure  you  that  we  shall 
not  t>o  unappreciative  of  your 
thoughtfulness. 

MILLIGAN'S  PROGHAM 

All  in  all.  these  kindnesses, 
these  sharings.  these  apprecia- 
tions, and  determinations  to  util- 
ize wisely  the  benefits  of  all  these 
devotions  coiistitute  proof  posi- 
tive that  Milligan's  family  be- 
lieves whole  heartedly  in  the 
creation  of  a  spiritual  arsenal  of 
Christian  achievement  which  will 
continue  to  merit  the  admiration 
and  intelligent  goodwill  of  cver>'- 
one  who  comes  to  know  the  de- 
termination of  Milligan  College  to 
place  beyond  the  possibility  of 
misunderstanding  her  abiding  de- 
.lirc  to  keep  her  appointment  with 
destiny. 


Teacher — Can  you  tell  me  any- 
thing atfout  the  great  chemists  of 
the  seventeenth   century? 

Boy — They're  all  dead. 


Sarge:  "Arc  you  happy  in  the 
army?" 

Pvt:  "Yes  sir." 

Sarge:  "What  were  you  before 
you  joined?" 

PvL:    "Much  happier!" 


The  sermon  had  lasted  an  hour 
and  a  half  already — an  hour  and 
a  quarter  given  to  major  prophets, 
and  the  preacher  hod  not  got  a 
third  of  the  way  through  the 
minor  ones  yet  At  last,  he  paused 
imprcssivel>'.    and    exclaimed. 

"And  Habakkuk  —  where  shall 
we  put  him?" 

A  man  rose  in  the  back  row. 
"Be  can  have  my  seat.  Mister!" 


"Did  you  sec  that  letter  that 
he  got  from  the  draft?  He  was 
reclassified  as  1-A."  Such  is  life. 
Now  if  you  would  write  to  your 
Congressman  .  .  . 

"I'll  sure  be  glad  when  they  get 
the  Student  Union  Building  fin- 
ished. It's  a  good  thing,  but  it's 
not  doing  anyone  any  good  just 
half  finished."  That's  the  way  we 
feel  about  it  too.  but  it  lakes  work 
and  money.  If  you  reallj'  want  to 
get  it  done,  how  about  helping 
out  a  little  bit  in  one  of  these 
ways?

I  HEARD  THE  BELLS   ON 
CHRISTMAS  DAY  -  -  - 

"I  heard  the  bells  on  Christmas  day 
Their  old  familiar  carols  play. 
And  wild  and  sweet  the  words  repeat 
Of  peace  on  earth,  good  will  to  men. 

"And  in  despair  I  bowed  my  head: 
'There  is  no  peace  on  earth,'  I  said, 
'For  hate  is  strong,  and  mocks  the  song, 
Of  peace  on  earth,  good  will  to  men.' 

Then  pealed  the  bells  more  loud  and  deep: 
'God  is  not  dead,  nor  doth  He  sleep; 
The  wrong  shall  fail,  the  right  prevail, 
With  peace  on  earth,  good  will  to  men!" 
—Henry  Wadsworth  Longfellow. 


This  and  This  and  That 

Since  many  of  the  studonts  keep  their  STAMPEDE  as  a 
memory  book,  this  column  contains  notices  of  many  erents 
that  have  happened  since  last  isaue. 


Thanks  Republicans 

The  Milligan  College  Young 
Republican  Club  feels  a  geunine 
pride  in  the  results  of  the  recent 
election  and  wishes  to  thank  each 
of  its  constituents  for  their  sup- 
port and  votes. 

Our  only  regret  is  that  the 
election  held  no  surprises  and  we 
all  like  the  unusual.  However,  in 
this  instance,  we  were  glad  to 
forgo  this  small  pleasure  in  order 
to  vanquish  the  forces  of  corrup- 
tion, communism,  graft,  log-roll- 
ing, pork- barrelling,  favoritism, 
mink  coats  and  deep  freezes. 

Now  we  look  forward  to  unpre- 
cedented prosperity  for  these 
United  States  as  well  as  the  en- 
tire world.  The  capabilities  of  the 
men  just  elected  promise  along 
with  the  lessening  of  world  ten- 
sion and  domestic  improvements.

Judge  (to  mBn  who  had  been

— What  are  your  name  and  occu-

Prisoner — My  name  is  Sparks. 
I  am  an  electrician,  and  I'm

The  newly  organized  Future  Teachers  of  America  gave  the

Leland  Terrill.  President  of  Winston-Salem  Bible  College  in 
North  Carolina,  spoke  in  chapel  also.  We  were  very  glad  to 
have  Mr,  Terrill  back  with  us  to  tell  us  of  his  work  among  the 
Negro  brethren  there. 


The  other  day  I  was  roving 
around  Hardin  Hall  with  nothing 
much  to  do.  It's  surprising  how 
much  you  can  leam  in  a  place 
like  that.  One  topic  of  conversa- 
tion was  how  Betty  Mise's  hair 
got  to  be  so  red.  Jody  told  me 
that  Mrs.  Mise  washed  Betty's 
hair  when  she  was  little.  They 
forgot  to  dry  it,  so  it  rusted.  Betty 
was  running  around  the  other 
night  with  a  bottle  of  Chlorox 
and  a  big  box  of  Tide,  saying  that 
she  was  going  to  wash  her  hair 
Maybe  that's  how  she  keeps  it 
that  way. 

Shirley  and  Margaret  Jane  have 
been  complaining  because  Charles 
Smythers  won't  speak  to  them. 
Oh  Weill  Some  boys  are  like 
that.    Don't  feel  bad.  girls. 

All  the  girls  agree  that  Bob 
Whit  gets  along  fine  with  just  one 
arm.  They  are  worried  about 
what  he'll  be  like  after  he  gets 
that  cast  off.  With  all  this  prac- 
tice, he  should  be  an  expert  one- 
£irm  driver. 

Jeanette  Brown  woke  up  half 
of  second  floor  the  other  morn- 
ing. She  was  screaming  about 
something  being  so  beautiful. 
When  we  got  her  calmed  down, 
we  discovered  that  it  was  the 
first  time  our  Florida  gal  had 
ever  seen  snow.  She  loves  it! 

Rollie  ought  to  make  the  base- 
ball team  this  year.  Goodness 
knows  he's  had  enough  practice 
and  he  gets  it  by  throwing  rocks 
at  Jan's  window. 

Frank  Hannah  surprised  every- 
one by  appearing  at  the  LaVaux 
Concert  without  a  date. 

When  the  lights  went  off  Fri- 
day night.  I  thought  I  heard 
Sally.  Sam,  Pat  and  Doc  com- 
plaining because  they  couldn't 
see  to  study.  Everyone  else  seem- 
ed to  enjoy  the  candlelight. 


Boy — When  1  marry  I'm  going 
to  marry  a  girl  who  can  talie  a 
joke. 

Girl — Don't  worry.  It's  the  only 
kind  you'll  get 


LOVE 

Love  is  a  peculiar  affliction  that 
makes  a  girl  forget  there  are  over 
a  billion  other  men  in  the  world. 


We  doni  go  much  for  bragging 
to  folks,  but,  come  to  think  of  it, 
we  never  walked  home  through 
the  alley  after  catching  a  large 
fish. 


November  seemed  to  be  the  month  for  missionary  visitors  to 
the  campus.  We  were  very  pleased  to  have  Miss  Dorothy  Nichols.' 
a  missionary  recruit  to  India,  visit  with  us  for  about  a  week. 
She  was  a  guest  of  her  cousin,  Manbel  Bare,  who  has  also  lived 
on  the  mission  field. 


Amon^  the  new  things  on  the  campus  is  a  new  Mercury  owned 
<?)by  Dix  Archer.  If  you  see  a  green  flash,  that  is  probably  an- 
other member  of  that  Illinois  family  driving. 


Bob  Ban  Lew  and  Dick  Moore  have  been  recent  visitors  to  the 
campus.  It  seems  as  though  the  last  of  these  two  left  something 
behind.  Ask  Betty  Jeanne  Snodgrass  what  that  sparkling  thing 
is  on  her  third  finger.  Bob  left  one  here  last  summer  before  he 
graduated — right.  Harriet? 


Many  of  the  students   and  faculty  attended  the  famed  Marine 
Band  Concert  given  at  State  in  November. 


Knowles  Duo  gave  a  concert  here  in  our  auditorium  for  the 
first  of  the  series.  Paul  Knowles"  father  and  grandfather  were 
both  ministers. 


The  Club  Panamericano  gave  their  first  party  of  the  year  in 
Hardin  Hall.  Plans  were  suggested  for  the  formal  banquet  to 
be  held  after  Christmas. 


Several  students  bought  tickets  for  the  Mikado  which  was  to 
be  held  at  Kingsport  Alter  being  unable  to  have  the  perform- 
ance, this  operetta  has  been  postponed  until  next  spring. 


There  were  many  alumni  and  former  students  on  the  campus 
during  the  Thanksgiving  holidays.  Among  them  were  Charlotte 
Hobbs.  Dot  Dixon.  Nathan  Hale.  .Jim  Nash,  Bob  Rhea.  Roger 
elites.  Sara  White  Pardue.  Sam  Pridon.  Bett>*  Adams. 


Among  the  necessary  evils  were  Mid-term  exams.    Luck>"  up-

Lloyd  La  Vaus,  aecordianist.  presented  the  second  concert  of 
the  Bcries. 


"All  I  have  to  worr>'  about  now  Sargc:  "How  come  you  didn't

THE    STAMPEDE 


FRIDAV,  DECEMBER   12.  1952 


Report  From  Coach  Walker 

DECEMBER  8,   1952— 

A  win  over  Tusculum  College  December  9,  would  have 
put  us  in  a  more  favorable  position  to  even  accounts  with 
East  Tennessee  State  this  season.  In  any  event,  the  out- 
come of  the  game  should  be  a  good  indication  of  our  chances 
in  the  Smokey  Mountain  Conference  this  season.  In  add- 
tion  to  Milligan,  the  SMAC  is  composed  of  Tusculum  of 
Greeneville;  Carson-Newman  of  Jefferson  City;  Lincoln 
Memorial  Universitj'  of  Harrogate;  Union  College  of  Bar- 
bourville,  Kentucky;  and  Emory  and  Henry,  of  Emory, 
Virginia. 

Union,  L.  M.  U,.  and  Tusculum  will  be  fighting  for  first 
place  (with  Milligan,  of  course).  All  teams  in  the  SMAC 
seem  to  be  somewhat  stronger  than  last  year.  Tusculum, 
especially,  has  a  added  wealth  of  material  and  will  be  dif- 
ficult for  any  team  to  handle. 

In  the  other  conference  in  which  we  are  a  member,  the 
Volunteer  State  Athletic  Conference,  the  competition  is 
even  stiffer.  Its  members  are:  Milligan,  East  Tennessee 
State,  L.  M.  U.,  Austin  Peay  State,  David-Lipscomb,  Union 
(Tenn.),  and  Bethel.  In  close  competition  in  last  season's 
VSAC  tournament,  David-Lipscomb  nosed  out  a  game  East 
Tennessee  State  team  for  the  Championship.  We  played  one 
of  our  best  ball  games  in  losing  to  Austin  Peay  State  in 
the  opener.  So  thorough  was  our  drive  from  behind  and 
our  almost  overtaking  A.P.S.C.  that  they  were  forced  to 
freeze  the  ball  the  major  part  of  the  last  quarter. 

In  cumulative  totals  to  this  date  (Dec.  8),  three  of  our 
boys  have  above  a  ten  point  total  per  game  average:  Bud 
Gaslin,  15.7;  Sam  Greer.  13.0;  Jim  Burgett,  10.7.  Three  others 
have  above  nine  point  averages:  Joe  Dickey,  9-9;  Glen 
Barton,  9.0;  and  Phil  Roush,  9.0. 

The  above  statistics  shouldn't  be  taken  too  seriously,  for 
two  reasons:  1 — the  averages  could  have  been  higher  had 
I  played  them  longer  in  each  game  (for  instance,  I  played 
them  only  two  quarters  each  in  the  first  game);  and  2 — 
the  averages  could  have  been  much  lower  if  other  mem- 
bers of  the  team  had  not  made  it  possible  for  them  to  re- 
ceive the  ball  in  an  attempt  to  score.  At  the  present  time 
we  have  only  three  boys  who  are  shooting  field  goals  at 
,300  per  cent  or  better.  (Divide  the  number  of  attempts 
into  the  number  of  field  goals).  Hitting  .333  would  mean 
scoring  one  time  for  every  three  attempts.  Bud  Gaslin 
is  leading,  temporarily,  at  least,  with  a  .509  pet.;  Sam  Greer 
follows  with  .375;  Glen  Barton  is  the  third  above  .300  with 
.361  pet. 

In  free  throwing  percentage,  the  team  is  somewhat  bet- 
ter. Gaslin  leads  with  .900  pet.;  Greer,  .842;  Roush,  .777; 
Barton,  .714. 

For  team  totals  for  games  to  date,  our  Buffaloes  have 
tallied  300  points  for  an  average  of  75  points  per  game. 
Our  opponents  have  scored  260  points  for  a  65  point  per 
game  average.  Our  shooting  percentage  of  .303  for  field 
goals  is  lower  than  our  opponents  ottals  of  .340. 

Joe  Dickey  and  Glen  Barton  are  tied  at  present  in  the 
rebounding  department,  each  have  a  total  of  50  credited 
to  them. 

The  continued  interest  and  moral  support  of  the  students 
and  faculty  is  greatly  needed  and  similarly  appreciated. 
If  you  don't  have  a  schedule  of  the  all  the  games— see  me. 

Here  is  a  suggestion  to  everyone — If  you  expect  to  rate 
around  here,  don't  expectorate  in  the  gym. 

— Coach  Walker. 

Pioneers    Win   In    Overtime    Period 


Game  Sununaries 

By  "KOZAH"   HAND 


DECEMBER  9 

Tusculum  Pioneers  of  Greene- 
ville defeated  MiUigan  Buffs  at 
Cheek  Gym.  Tuesday  evening,  in 
a  thrilling  neck-and-neck  battle 
which  took  overtime  to  decide  the 
outcome. 

At  the  end  of  the  regular  play, 
the  score  stood  at  82-82.  Chief 
official  McNabb  called  for  a  five 
minute  overtime  period  when  the 
Pioneers  forged  ahead  to  win  96 
to  92. 

In  this  overtime  play  MiUigan 
was  somewhat  handicapped  in 
not  having  its  first  team  through 
excessive    fouling    while    Tuscu- 


lum lost  the  service  of  only  one 
of  its  first  team  members. 

The  scoring  for  the  overtime 
period  netted  Tusculum  14  points 
to  Milligan's  10  for  the  final  totals 
of  96  ot  92. 

Green  of  Tusculum  was  high 
scoring  man  of  both  teams  with 
53  points.  Joe  Dickey  and  Sam 
Greer  of  the  Buffs  scored  19  and 
17  points,  respectively.  Dickey 
was  the  only  one  of  Milligan's 
first  five  to  finish  the  game. 

Foul  shooting  was  a  deciding 
factor  against  Milligan  having 
made  only  12  points  out  of  32 
throws  while  Tusculum  captured 
28  out  ot  42. 


Buffs  Blast  Skylanders 

The  Milligan  College  Buffaloes 
literally  blasted  the  Steed  Tech 
Skylanders  from  the  hardwood  at 
Boones  Creek  on  Saturday  night, 
as  six  Skylanders  left  the  court 
via  the  personal  foul  route,  and 
the  Buffs  ran  up  an  86-54  score. 

The  Buffaloes  were  hampered 
on  their  fast  break  somewhat  be- 
cause of  the  small  court.  The 
game  was  played  in  a  gym  usual- 
ly used  by  high  schools.  But  the 
Buffaloes  made  up  for  this  by 
coming  down  and  settmg  up,  and 
working  the  ball  into  Greer,  who 
burned  m  seventeen  points  to 
take  high  scoring  laurels  for  the 
mght's  game. 

Coach  Duard  Walker  was  able 
to  clear  the  pine  bench  and  ev- 
ery man  of  the  fourteen  man 
traveling  squad  earned  at  least 
one  quarter  toward  their  letter. 


Milligan  Saws  Paty 

DECEMBER   3 

The  Milligan  College  Buffaloes, 
in  their  initial  home  game  in 
Cheek  g>"m,  ran  Paly  Lumber  Co. 
through  a  buzz-saw  as  they  stam- 
peded the  Lumbermen  to  sawdust 
with  a  73-59  score. 

Coach  Duard  Walker's  fighting 
freshmen  carried  the  brunt  of  the 
attack  in  hustling  and  scoring, 
but  veterans  Greer  and  Rouih 
came  through  and  were  not  out- 
done by  them.  Greer  slammed-m 
fourteen  points,  and  Roush  spot- 
ted the  nets  for  thirteen  points 
on  -set  shots,  tip-ins  and  hook 
shots. 


Buffs  Handed  First  Loss 

DECEMBER   5 

Concord  College  of  Athens,  W. 
Va.,  handed  the  Buffs  their  first 
loss  of  the  1952-53  season.  83-67 
here  in  Cheek  Gym.  Milligan, 
cold  from  the  start,  could  not 
seem  to  get  its  defense  chcking- 
All  the  spark  and  fighting  spint 
was  present  in  the  team  but  it 
always  showed  up  just  a  second 
too  late.  The  Buffs  hit  only  2691- 
of  their  shots,  while  the  Concord 
Mountain  Lions  hit  40%  through- 
out the   game. 

Ken  Gaslin  hit  17  points  for 
the  Buffaloes  but  this  was  not 
sufficient  for  the  cause. 


Buffs  Calm  Tornadoes 

DECEMBER   B 

After  a  cold  night  against  Con- 
cord, the  Milligan  Buffaloes  were 
out  for  blood  against  the  King 
College  Tornadoes.  This  thirst 
coupled  with  the  will  to  win,  re- 
sulted in  a  69-54  victory  over  the 
Tornadoes,  the  first  tmie  in  three 
years,  on  King's  court. 

Ken  Gaslin.  freshman  from 
Kentucky,  spearheaded  this  at- 
tack. Ken,  helped  by  his  team- 
mates, racked  up  20  points,  fol- 
lowed by  Jim  Burgett  and  Glen 
Barton  with   14  points  each. 

Trailing  at  hall-time  bv  a  score 
of  41-34.  Coach  Walker  switched 
his  men  from,  a  man-to-man  de- 
fense to  a  zone  defense.  Although 
the  Buffs  had  not  practiced  this 
defense  before,  they  turned  the 
tables  against  King  Phil  Roush 
and  Barton  turned  in  a  superb 
floor  game  from  this  point  for- 
ward. 

At  the  end  of  the  third  quar- 
ter, the  Buffaloes,  leading  now  by 
one  point,  poured  on  the  steam 
and  won  the  game  by  a  five- 
point  margin.  Joe  Dickey  showed 
a  remarkable  ability  to  control 
the  backboard  by  securing  27  re- 
bounds in  the  last  half. 


Girls'  Basketball 

The  Milligan  College  Girls' 
Basketball  team  was  defeated  in 
their  first  game  Tuesday  night  by 
a  team  from  Cloudland  High 
School.  The  final  score  was  28- 
17.  The  Cloudland  team  was 
coached  by  Charles  Shell,  a  form- 
er Milligan  student 

Honeycutt  was  high  scorer  for 
Cloudland  with  a  total  of  17 
points.  Mise  scored  11  points  for 
Milligan. 

Before  the  gome  the  rooting 
section  (which  was  made  up  al- 
most entirely  ot  men  was  led  in 
a  few  yells  by  that  famous  cheer- 
leading  team  of  Morehcad.  Will- 
iams, Gaslin.  Barton,  and  Wor-

LET'S  FACE  IT 

By   LEONARD   GALLIMORE 

As  I  sat  in  the  gymnasium  over  at  Bristol  Saturday  night 
watching  the  game  between  Milligan  and  King  Colleges, 
I  could  not  help  but  be  impressed  by  the  enthusiasm  of 
both  the  team's  fans  who  had  journeyed  out  to  see  the  game. 

True,  the  crowd  was  small,  but  as  the  teams  were  battling 
down  to  the  line,  usually  trading  basket  for  basket,  one 
was  impressed  by  the  fact  that  here  were  two  schools  play- 
ing just  for  the  'kicks'  and  for  the  honor  of  good  'Ole  Alma 
Mater.' 

There  were  no  paid  athletes  on  these  two  ball  clubs — in- 
stead there  was  a  group  of  boys  who  believed  that  Chris- 
tian education  was,  and  still  is,  the  hope  of  the  world- 
They  were  playing  because  they  loved  the  game. 

These  same  fellows  will  throughout  the  season  play  teams 
many  times  their  own  enrollment;  schools  with  scouting 
systems  set  up  to  lure  the  cream  of  the  high  school  athletes 
into  their  field  and  with  money  to  give  them  everything 
but  the  kitchen  sink,  if  they  can  produce  the  necessarj' 
winning  record  that  the  coach  must  have  in  order  to  hold 
his  job. 

Now,  is  it  fair  to  pit  these  small  college  teams  supported 
by  the  churches  against  tax  supported  schools?  Why  don't 
we  do  something  about  it? 

At  best,  the  Smok>*  Mountain  Conference  is  a  joke  any- 
more and  the  V.S.A.C.,  is  only  slightly  better.  Why  can't 
the  church  supported  schools  of  this  area  unite  and  form  a 
conference  of  their  own?  It  would  certainly  make  for  more 
even  competition  and  in  time  should  grow  to  become  one 
of  the  strongest  ever. 

At  least  they  would  have  something  in  common  that  is 
currently  lacking  in  both  conferences  of  this  area  at  the 
present  time.  They  would  have  Christian  education  in  their 
schools  and  above  all.  the  love  of  God  in  their  hearts. 


THE  TEAM  NEEDS  YOUR  SUPPORT 

Roses  for  the  cheerleaders  this  month!  They  have  done 
a  swell  job  at  the  games  this  year;  but  without  the  fans, 
what  good  would  the  cheerleaders  be?  As  long  as  the  fans 
turn  out,  I'm  sure  that  the  girls  and  "Doc"  will  be  there 
to  help  you  yelL  I  notice  that  there  were  several  over  at 
King  College  Saturday  night  The  crowd  from  Milligan 
was  small  but  they  really  had  the  spirit!  Many  thanks  to 
two  of  our  best  fans:  Jackie  Harrison  and  George  Davis. 
These  two  pulled  for  the  team  every  minute. 


BEHIND  THE  SPORTS  SCENE 

By  'TUB" 


Well,  Sport  fans,  since  the  last  time  we  were  together, 
our  Buffaloes  have  hit  the  victory  traiL  It  seems  that 
Coach  Walker  had  every  right  to  be  optimistic  at  the  first 
of  the  season.  One  word  of  caution  to  the  boys  on  the 
team:  Do  not  become  over-confident;  over-confidence  has 
lost  many  a  ball  game. 

Here  is  a  roster  of  team  members,  their  class  and  home- 
town; Phil  Roush,  Junior,  Hillsboro,  Ohio;  Sam  Greer, 
Jimior,  Mountain  City,  Tenn.;  Grant  Laj-man,  Junior,  Hills- 
boro, Ohio;  Douglas  Morehead,  Junior,  Radford,  Va.;  Tom 
Neff,  Junior,  Danville.  Indiana;  Jim  Fox,  Sophomore, 
Greeneville,  'Tenn.;  Pat  Hand,  Sophomore,  Farragut,  Tenn.; 
Bill  Casteel,  Sophomore,  Floyd,  Va.;  Glen  Barton,  Freshman, 
Wilkinson,  Ind.;  Joe  Dickey,  Freshman,  Avon,  Ind.;  Jim 
Burgett,  Freshman,  Greenwood.  Ind.;  Ken  Gaslin.  Fresh- 
man, Louisville,  Ky.;  Don  Williams.  Freshman.  Jonesville,. 
Va.;  Merril  Botkin,  Freshman,  Harriman,  Term.;  Norman, 
Held,  Freshman,  WUliamsport,  Ind.. 

I  wish  to  welcome  to  the  paper  this  week  a  writer  with* 
whom  everyone  is  acquainted,  Pat  "Kozar"  Hand.  Else- 
where on  this  page  will  be  found  his  write-ups  of  the 
Steed-Milligan,  and  Patj--Milligan  games.  I  hope  we  might 
have  more  of  his  work. 

Coach  Duard  Walker  has  also  contributed  a  fine  piece 
of  work.  Perhaps  he  too  will  be  with  us  in  a  later  edition. 

Leonard  Gallimore.  who  is  now  assistant  sports  editor, 
has  given  us  one  solution  that  may  help  church  supported 
schools  to  have  a  better  sports  program.  There  must  be 
many  schools  that  have  rough  competition  because  of  the 
tax-supported  schools  in  the  conferences.  Perhaps  there 
are  others  of  you  readers  who  have  thoughts  along  this  line. 
Let  me  hear  from  you.  After  all,  this  is  your  paper,  you 
know!  Perhaps  this  column  can  be  some  place  we  can. 
hash  out  your  sports  problems  We  can  at  least  try.

Annual  Spring 
Recital  May  14th 


prospective  students. 

Jim  Patton  is  the  proud  owner 
of  a  new  Oldsmobile.  Maybe  we 
should  say  that  it's  new  to  him — 
a  '41.  I  believe. 

We're  certainly  glad  to  see  Tom 
Beasley  out  and  going  again  after 
his  operation.  I  hear  that  he  rath- 
er liked  living  in  the  girls'  dorm. 

If  anyone  Knows  of  a  person 
who  lost  a  bat  please  notifv  Sally 
Bonner  at  once.  It  seems  that  she 
found  one  in  her  room  Sunday 
night. 

A  new  romance  that  is  in  the 
beginning  stages  is  that  of  Wally 
Johnson  and  Gorda  Crowder. 
Could  something  develop  from 
this? 

Billy  Jo  Johnson  is  the  girl  we 
can't  figure  out.  Sometimes  she's 
walking  with  John  Worrell, 
sometimes  -  with  Jimmy  Fox. 
sometimes  with  Norman  Held, 
and  sometimes  just  walking. 

I  wonder,  are  Eileen  and  Dick 
mad  or  happy  today?  You  have 
to  keep  up  with  this  romance 
daily  because  they're  so  unpre- 
dictable. It  must  be  love  because 
it  never  runs  smooth,  that's  for

THE     STAMPEDE 


Tuesday.  May  26,  1953 


The    Stampede 


This  is  your  STAMPEDE.  We  hope  you  like  it.  This  paper 
was  made  possible  by  nine  studentB  and  three  faculty  members. 
The  faculty  members  were.  Miss  Marie  Smith;  MLsb  Haxel 
Turbyville — proofreader — and  Chaplain  Elmer  Lewis,  technical 
advifior.  Other  than  these  duties,  the  faculty  did  nothing  .  .  . 
Therefore  THIS  IS  a  paper  for  students,  by  students.  I  agree 
with  you  that  there  should  have  been  a  paper  before  this,  but 
this  paper  was  like  the  weather— "everybody  talks  about  it,  but 
no  one  bothers  to  do  anything  about  il." 

I  sincerely  appreciate  the  invaluable  aid  that  has  been  given 
to  me  by  these  nine  reliable  students:  These  were:  Mary  Speer, 
Gene  Click,  Girmy  Snyder,  Bill  CaaleoL  Everett  Smock,  Jim 
Fox,  Katie  Colbert;  Sarah  Zacharias,  and  Jim  Hawes. 

I  hope  you'll  appreciate  the  efforts  made  by  these  people, 
and  we  hope  you'll  thoroughly  enjoy  your  STAMPEDE.  If 
you  do,  let  ua  know. 

Sincerely, 
PAT  HAND. 

Editing  A  Neivspaper  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  struck  on  our  own  stuff. 
If  we  stick  to  the  job  all  day,  we  ought  to  be  out  hunt- 
ing 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  appre- 
ciate true  genius;  and  if  we  print  them,  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. 


Highlighls  of  the  Year — 
Milligan  In  Review 

REMEMBER?? 
[Continued  From  Page  One) 
5th       when*   everyone      enjoyed 
themselves,    and    ate,   slept,    and 
got  fat. 

And  then  after  Christmas  when 
just  about  every  girl  came  back 
with  an  engagement  ring,  and 
how  it  seemed  it  was  the  fad 
for  everyone  to  get  married  this 
summer. 

Then  first  semester  exams  and 
everyone  wore  a  grim  counten- 
ance for  the  duration  of  the 
exams.  And  how  nice  it  was  to 
see  the  smiles  when  the  magic 
words  came,  "You've  Passed!' 
But  some  of  the  girls  dropped 
out  of  school  anyway  to  get  mar- 
ried.   Ail,  Love. 

Aminos,  the  Spanish  Club  Ban- 
quet, where  we  had  so  much  fun 
listening  to  Dix  Archer  and 
Susie  Smith,  and  discovered  that 
the  black  olive  on  the  salad  was 
just  for  show,  and  not  to  eat. 
What  a  taste! 

The  first  school  play  produced 
by  the  dramatic  club,  "American 
Passport,"  and  how  well  the 
freshmen  and  Dave  Brady  acted 
their  parts.  Also,  it  was  the  first 
time  we  ever  saw  Jackie  Harri- 
son kissed  in  public.  (?). 

Valentine's  Day,  and  the  party 
in  the  gym,  and  the  Parisian 
theme — with  Bill  Dever  and  his 
immaculate  pronounciation  of 
words  as  master-of-CExemoftiies, 
When,  the  Future  Teachers  of 
America  won  the  award  for 
having  the  best  skit.  It  was 
about  a  Roman  Joe  who  wanted 
to  be  with  his  babe,  but  he 
couldn't  get  through  a  hole  in  the 
wall  so  he  killed  himself  out  of 
sheer  despair,  and  the  babe  can't 
stand  it  without  her  man  so  she 
calls  it  quits  also.  Very  sad. 

The  Talent  Show,  for  the  bene- 
fit of  the  Annual,  where  Jay 
Cooper  introduced  a  new  type 
of  English  (?)  to  Milligan,  and 
Johnny  "Pat"  Ray  "cried"  out 
his  troubles.  Just  about  every- 
one in  school  was  in  the  talent 
show — even  the  faculty  and  John 
Worrel. 

March  5th,  when  Rod  Strong — 
dancer  —  and  Boris  Gregory  — 
concertinest — presented  what  ev- 
eryone thought — and  was — the 
best  concert!  Man,  it  really  rock- 
ed the  joint! 

Tommy  Overton  and  the  Chris- 
tian Service  Club  Banquet,  when 
all  the  girls  wore  their  formats 
and  loolu^  so  beauitful,  and  we 


all   ate    good   home-cooking   and 
had  a  good  time. 

Spring  vacation  from  March 
27th  to  April  7th,  and  we  all  ate 
and  got  fat  again,  and  either 
mowed  grass  or  shoveled  snow, 
depending  on  where  we  lived. 

^*The  Robe,"  presented  by  Er- 
win  High  School,  and  we  thought 
it  was  pretty  good  acting  for  a 
high  school  group. 

The  National  Forensic  League 
on  May  4th.  and  how  Jim  Fox 
almost  went  wild  with  all  the  fe- 
male debaters  running  aro.md  the 
campus  for  two  days. 

May  Day,  and  how  impressed 
the  "Rebels"  were?  And  every- 
one else,  because  it  was  so  beau- 
tiful and  so  much  fun.  How  lovely 
the  May  court  looked — especially 
the  King  and  Queen;  and  it  had 
all  the  pomp  and  pageantry  and 
entertainment  to  make  the  big- 
gest social  event  of  the  year. 

And  that  just  about  winds  up 
the  highhghts  of  this  year  at  Mil- 
bgan.  Of  course,  we  have  missed 
some,  such  as  the  time  you  had 
that  particular  first  dale,  or  a 
swell  party,  or  that  basketball 
game  that  was  so  hot,  but,  nev- 
ertheless, you  have  your  own 
memories  anyway,  and  we  hope 
you  have  enjoyed  your  year  at 
Milligan.  It's  been  fun.  sad,  and 
hard,  and  you're  probably  glad 
that  the  end  of  the  year  is  here; 
but  I  imagine  that  before  the 
Eununer  is  half  gone  that  you'll 
be  looking  forward  to  coming 
back  to  Milligan. 

We  still  have  a  lot  of  things 
yet  to  do   besides  a   term   paper 
for  Miss  Jones,  and  here  they  are: 
May  22— Choir  Concert  at  MiUi- 
gan. 
23 — Freshman  Picnic. 
24— Milligan    Day    at    First 
Christian  Church  in  J.  C. 
27 — Exams  start! 
29— Senior  Farewell. 
30 — Commencement      Play 

and  Lawn  Paryt 
31 — Baccalaureate. 
June  1 — Commencement. 


Long  Distance 

Two  chorus  girls  were  discuss- 
ing a  certain  theatrical  producer. 

"That  man,"  said  one  of  them, 
"has  the  longest  body  of  any  man 
1  ever  met" 

The  other  girl  looked  at  her. 

"Whatever  do  you  mean  by 
that?"  Bhe  Inquired. 

The  first  one  shrugged. 

"Well,"  she  explainea,  'this  will 
give  you  a  rough  idea.  His  office 
is  on  the  10th  floor.  And  you'll 
alwavs  find  him  with  his  feet  on 
the  desk  and  big  minrf  in  the  gut- 
ter." 


72nd  Annual 
Commencement  At 
Milligan  June  1st 

PRESIDENT  WALKER  TO 
CONFER  DEGREES  TO  33 
SENIORS 

At  10:00  a.m.,  Monday,  June  1st, 
Thirty-three  seniors,  led  by  their 
distinguished  faculty,  will  walk 
down  the  front  lawn  of  the  Ad- 
ministration Building  to  hear 
Lawrence  Derthick,  commence- 
ment speaker,  deliver  the  com- 
mencement address  and  then 
walk  across  the  platform  to  re- 
ceive their  degrees  from  Presi- 
dent Walker,  and  also  congratu- 
latory handshakes  from  Prasi- 
dent  Walker,  Dean  Donald  G. 
Suhli,  and  William  Bowman, 
president  of  the  Alumni  Associa- 
tion. 

This  wiU  be  the  crowning  point 
of  glory,  the  goal  they  have 
striven  for  at  Milligan.  Not  every 
Senior  has  spent  four  years  at 
Mil-'igan,  but  their  time  (whether 
one  year  or  four)  has  surely 
profited  them.  As  President  Wal- 
ker has  said  at  previous  com- 
mencements, and  will  probably 
say  at  this  one — "You  do  not 
graduate  out  of  the  Milligan  Man- 
ner, vou  graduate  into  trie  Milli- 
gan Manner." 

This  graduating  class  of  1953, 
sponsored  by  Professor  Guy  Oaks, 
will,  on  June  1st  .launch  thirty- 
three  outstanding  personalities 
into  the  fields  of  teacning,  minis- 
try, music,  chemistry,  history, 
home  economics,  and  business  ad- 
ministration. Perhaps  some  the 
most  outstanding  would  be:  Belts 
Still,  president  of  the  graduating 
class,  recommended  to  "Who's 
Who."  and  May  Queen;  and  Paul 
Bajko  from  Poland;  Maribel  Bare, 
voted  Most  Intellectual  by  the 
student  body  and  also  recom- 
mended to  represent  Milligan  in 
the  1952-53  edition  of  "Who's 
Who  In  American  Colleges  and 
Universities";  Jean  Ball,  who  was 
also  chosen  to  represent  Milhgan 
in  "Who's  Who'';  Tom  Hawks, 
who  is  outstanding  in  baseball, 
tennis  and  was  president  of  the 
Student  Council,  was  also  chosen 
to  "Who's  Who";  Kitty  Rae  Irvin. 
voted  to  "Who's  Who":  Karlyn 
Keyes  Marshall,  who  was  editor 
of  the  year-book  and  also  a  rep- 
resentative to  "Who's  Who";  Bill 
Morelock,  who  was  business  man- 
ager for  the  year-book,  which 
came  out  on  top  with  additional 
money  to  start  next  year's  annual; 
and  Louise  Spurgin,  who  was  out- 
standing in  music. 

To  all  the  Seniors,  we  give  them 
our  best.  Good  bye  and  good  luck. 

WHAT  GOES  ON 
HERE— Confidential 

(Continued  From  Page  One) 
there  is  a  sweet  little  girl   from 
Cheek    that    would    be    very    in- 
terested. 

Did  everyone  know  that  our 
own  Tootsie  had  a  steadv  at  Geor- 
gia Tech?  I  gather  that  this  means 
the  end  of  Tootsie  and 'Joe.  but 
incidentally,  I  don't  think  that 
Joe  is  letting  any  grass  grow 
under  his  feet.  The  latest  report 
has  it  that  he  thinks  that  nurses 
are  pretty  swell. 

This  business  of  graduation 
really  present  Milligan  with  sev- 
eral problems.  Louise  is  leaving 
Herbie.  However,  both  are  from 
Illinois,  you  know.  I'm  still  some- 
what in  the  dark  on  this  Galli- 
more-McDonald  twosome.  It  was 
rumored  that  he  was  coming 
back  next  semester,  but  what 
then? 

Has  everyone  hear  that  J.  B. 
Shepherd  was  engaged?  He 
stated  sue  ha  fact  in  one  of  his 
classes. 

What  is  it  with  the  Milligan 
girls  that  "Doc"  has  to  go  out  to 
Stale  to  find  one.  I  hear  she's 
cute  though,  in  spite  of  being 
from  State.  We'll  have  to  forgive 
him  this  time,  but  don't  let  it 
ever  happen  again. 

The  grapevine  has  it  that 
Maribel  and  Jim  are  finished, 
through  and  for  certain.  I  must 
say  that  it  was  a  sweet  and  verj*. 
very  short  lived  affair. 

Jackie  got  the  shock  of  her  life 
when  Mr.  Frank  DeVault  Han- 
nah, Jr.,  called  her  from  Memphis 
to  inquire  about  her  health.  I 
don't  know  if  she  was  thrilled  or 
angry  but  anyway  she  talked  to 
him.  It  seems,  however,  that  she 
has  forgotten  all  about  him  and 
has    become    mlcrcsted    in    Bob 


By  SARA  ZACHARIAS 

The  1953  Spring  Choir  Tour, 
given  by  our  College  Choir,  was 
a  hu)»e  success.  The  work  done 
by  Miss  White,  our  most  capable 
director,  and  the  careful  planning 
that  went  into  it  had  gratifying 
results.  The  tour  extended  over 
a  period  of  two-and-a-half  weeks, 
and  covered  about  three  thousand 
miles.  We  were  privileged  to 
sing  before  seventeen  different 
audiences,  including  two  major 
Christian  conventions,  the  South- 
em,  at  Atlanta.  Georgia,  and  the 
North  American,  at  Canton,  Ohio. 

The  membership  of  this  year's 
Choir  is  the  largest  in  the  his- 
tory of  the  school — being  fifty- 
five  voices  strong.  We  had  as  our 
accompanists  two  of  our  own 
students,  Jay  Cooper,  a  junior 
from  Scranton,  Pennsylvania,  and 
Arlene  Seal,,  from  McKeesport, 
Pennsylvania,  also  a  junior.  Our 
soloists  were  RoUie  Nagle,  Louise 
Spurgin,  Grant  Layman,  and 
Jerry  Lindell,  who  narrated  one 
of  our  numbers.  Miss  Welshimer 
went  along  to  speak  in  behalf  of 
the  school.  We  had  also  a  most 
versatile  business  manager,  Tom 
Archibald  not  only  handled  the 
finances,  was  narrator  and  soloist 
in  part  of  the  program,  but  he 
also  filled  in  witn  the  quartet  for 
several  pragrams  when  Dave  De- 
Armond  had  a  case  of  laryngitis, 
and  for  Miss  Welshimer  when  she 
was  attending  the  Convention. 

We  left  school  on  Wednesday 
morning.  April  8th,  in  a  caravan 
of  nine  cars  bound  for  Atlanta, 
Georgia.  We  were  to  sing  by  in- 
vitation before  the  Southern 
Christian  conventon.  We  arrived 
there  in  time  to  attend  a  Youth 
Banquet  given  by  the  Atlanta 
Christian  College,  after  which  we 
sang  in  the  Wesley  Memorial 
Auditorium  where  the  Convention 
was  being  held.  The  next  day 
some  of  us  took  time  to  tour 
Grant  Park  and  visit  the  Cyclo- 
rama  Building  which  houses  the 
mammoth  circular  painting  of  the 
Battle  of  Atlanta. 

Our  next  stop  back  home  where 
we  stayed  for  one  night  —  just 
enough  time  to  pack  a  few  last 
minute  articles  and  start  out  again 
on  Friday  afternoon.  This  time, 
however,  we  had  two  huge  Ten- 
nessee coaches  and  our  drivers, 
Ed  Hensley  and  Frsmk  Jennings. 

We  gave  a  program  in  Jones- 
ville,  Virginia,  which  is  the  home 
of  a  number  of  our  students.  From 
there  we  travelled  north  to  Cov- 
ington, Kentucky,  and  since  we 
had  no  concert  that  Saturday 
night,  a  few  of  us  ventured  across 
the  river  into  Cincinnati.  After 
our  program  on  Sunday  morning, 
we  came  on  down  to  Louisville 
for  an  evening  concert  at  the 
Church  where  Olin  Hay  is  min- 
ister and  where  Mary  Perry,  a 
Milligan  graduate,  is  Minister  of 
Youth.  We  saw  also  Milligan 
alumni  Bob  Van  Lew  and  Dick 
Moore.  Louisville  is  the  home  of 
Bud  Gaslin  and  many  of  us  met 
and  talked  with   his  folks  there. 

By  noon  on  Monday  we  were  in 
Franklin,  Indiana,  and  most  of  us 
took  advantage  of  this  afternoon 
off  to  go  to  a  movie  or  to  shop 
and  add  to  our  growing  collec- 
tion of  hats,  stuffed  animals, 
greeting  cards,  trick  devices,  and 
literature  (Pogo,  Bugs  Bunny, 
Archie,  etc.) 

Our  concerts  in  Indiana  were 
given  in  Greenewood,  Washing- 
ton, Spencer,  Indianapohs.  Dan- 
ville, the  home  of  John  Worrell 
and  Tom  Netf,  and  in  Plainfield 
It  was  during  our  stay  in  one  of 
these  places  that  Miss  Welshimer 
almost  had  to  share  a  house  with 
an  old  torn  cat.  Of  course,  the  cat 

somebody  in  Ohio. 

When  is  Amon  going  to  wake 
up  and  give  the  girls  aroimd  here 
a  break?  There  is  one  in  particu- 
lar that  would  be  very  interested, 

Jim  and  Helen  are  back  to- 
gether in  spite  of  a  broken  mir- 
ror and  a  wounded  fist.  For  par- 
ticulars, see  Jim. 

Cur  own  muscle  man  seems  to 
have  settled  himself  at  last  Not 
mentioning  any  names,  but  I 
tnink  she  is  the  new  secretary  for 
Miss  Hale.  When  they  spend  4 
hours  at  tho  fish  pond  (talking), 
it  must  be  love. 

Evidence  reveals  that  Phil  and 
Sue  have  ever>;'thing  patched  up 
now.  We're  mighty  glad,  'cause 
there  were  a  couple  oi  long  faces 
around  here  for  a  couple  of 
Weeks. 

Let  us  remember  that  this  is 
exam  week  and  we  must  study 
lest  we  fail   Famous  last  words! 


lost  the  decision,  but  I'll  bet  he'll 
never  forget  it.  In  Indianapolis, 
however,  Miss  Welshimer  was  the  . 

Croud  recipient  of  a  perfectly 
eautiful  bouquet  of  flowers  from 
Paul  Jones,  which  made  her  very 
happy.  Miss  White  also  received 
some  extra  inspiration  along  the 
way.  G.  B.  joined  us  in  Danville. 
It  was  in  Danville,  too,  where  we 
picked  up  our  distinctive  Milli- 
gan College  trademark,  our  Chin- 
ese coolie  hats.  This  was  prob- 
ably the  most  widely  used  form 
of  publicity  promoted  by  the 
members  of  the  Choir,  since  by 
merely  walking  down  the  street 
wearing  our  chapeaus  we  contact- 
ed many  people  who  asked  which 
institution  we  represented. 
(Wasn't  that  the  right  thing  to  do. 
Dean  Sahli?) 

I  don't  know  what  Indiana  does 
to  people,  but  it  was  while  in 
that  state  that  Gail  Willoughby 
acquired  a  most  peculiar  taste  in 
clothes.  Right  before  a  concert, 
Gail  was  scouting  desperately  for 
her  shoes  and  when  she  opened 
her  suitcase  it  was  packed  full  of 
apparel  of  very  definite  mascu- 
line nature;  in  fact,  they  looked 
like  Norman  Held's  clothes.  What 
could  have  happened? 

After  visiting  Indianapolis  once 
more  where  we  were  happy  to 
see  Patty  Bishop,  we  left  fediana 
and  crossed  over  into  Ohio  and 
stopped  in  Cincinnati,  Jan  Wal- 
ker's home  town.  Other  stops  in 
Ohio  included  the  cities  of  Ports- 
mouth, from  where  Dave  Brady 
hails,  Lancaster,  Martin  Ferry, 
the  home  of  Amon  McSwords  and 
Glenn  Cunningham,  and  Canton, 
where  Bob  Walther.  Bill  Lewis, 
and  Jerr>'  Wagner  live. 

We  were  able  to  spend  a  half 
a  day  at  the  Northern  Christian 
Convention  and  I  don't  think 
there  was  one  of  us  who  failed  to 
see  at  least  one  friend  there — 
some  saw  even  relatives.  ((Oracle, 
for  instance,  had  a  reunion  with 
brother  Byron.)  In  the  evening  a 
banquet  was  given  in  honor  of 
Milligan  College;  among  those 
present  were  Dr.  Walker,  some  of 
our  professors,  and  a  number  of 
alumni.  The  numbers  given  by 
the  Choir  that  night  seemed  to  be 
well  received  by  the  audience, 
and  all  of  us  were  benefited  and 
enriched  by  our  fellowship  with 
other  Christians. 

The  last  place  on  the  toiu-  was 
Cumberland,  Maryland,  and,  as 
was  the  case  on  several  other 
nights,  we  had  some  special 
guests  with  us.  They  were  Miss 
White's  parents  and  friend  was 
journeyed  down  from  Pennsyl- 
vania to  Cumberland.  Mr.  White 
was  celebrating  his  birthday  and 
since  a  surprise  was  in  order.  Miss 
White  ordered  a  big  birthday 
cake  and  presented  it  "To  Dad 
White  from  Blossom  and  the 
Choir."  So  we  all  took  part  in 
wishing  him  well 

The  next  morning,  which  was 
Saturday,  we  embarked  on  the 
long  journey  back  to  school.  We 
stopped  in  Salem,  Virginia,  where 
we  were  served  refreshments  and 
had  an  opportunity  to  meet  her 
family.  Later,  when  we  stopped 
for  supper,  we  said  goodbv  offi- 
cially to  our  drivers,  Eci  and 
Frank,  who  would  be  leaving  us 
in  Bri.'^tol.  We  arrived  home  on 
campus  at  11  o'clock  verv  tired 
but  eargerly  awaiting  next  year's 
tour.

Milligan  Players  to  Present  Commencement  Play  ''Spring  Fever' 


On  May  30,  1953,  at  8:00  p.m.,  in 
the  college  auditorium,  the  com- 
mencement play — under  the  di- 
rectorship of  Miss  Lucy  Price — 
will  be  presented  to  students,  fac- 
ulty, graduating  seniors,  their 
parents,  and  the  parents  of  those 
people  in  the  play.  This  play 
should  be  received  well  as  it  de- 
picts the  plight  of  three  seniors 
who  are  afraid  they  won't  grad- 
uate because  they're  in  quite  a 
mess,  but  here  is  the  play  in 
brief: 

Mrs.  Spangler  keeps  a  rooming- 
house  at  Brookfield  College,  and 
she  says,  "I  never  know  if  they're 
in  or  out.  They  come  and  go  so 
fast  you  couldn't  keep  track  of 
them  if  you  were  a  paid  spy." 
That's  more  than  true  on  the  day 
before  Commencement;  for,  in 
addition  to  her  regular  college- 
boy  roomers,  their  girls  keep  pop- 
ping in  and  out,  a  few  parents 
and  an  aunt  show  up,  and  the 
"Prexy"  and  Professor  Bean  find 
occasion  to  call  several  times. 
And  things  happen!  Spring  fever 
has  hit  Brookfield. 

Ed  Burns,  a  chemistry  student, 
has  turned  his  room  into  a  labo- 
ratory, where  he  experiments 
with  a  substitute  for  dynamite; 
Vic  Lewis,  an  art  student,  sets  up 
his  dais  and  easel  in  the  living 
room;  Howard  Brant,  a  senior 
types  frantically  at  a  term  paper 
on  zoology.  He  will  be  graduated 
the  next  day  if  he  can  get  it  in 
on  time. 

Lou  Herron,  a  journalist  stu- 
dent, breezes  in  every  now  and 
then  to  use  the  lypewriler  and — 
maybe — see  Ed.  Ann  Purcell, 
Howard's  "heart-interest"  (and 
she's  that  way  about  Howai-d), 
has  forgotten  to  reserve  rooms  at 
the  hotel  for  her  millionarie 
father  and  her  mother.  She  can 
take  care  of  her  mother  in  the 
girl's  dorm,  but  not  her  father, 
so  she  persuades  Howard  to  put 
her  father  up  in  his  room. 

But  when  the  dignified  and 
elegant  Mr.  Purcell  arrives,  Vic 
thinks  he  is  the  art  model  en- 
gaged to  pose  for  a  picture  of  a 
Russian  Bolshevik.  Only  the 
agency  has  phoned  that  the  fel- 
low is  erratic  and  does  not  want 
.to  pose  as  a  Bolshevik;  so  Vic 
and  Ed  grab  Mr.  Purcell,  gag  him. 
strip  him  of  most  of  his  clothes, 
put  a  smock  on  him.  tie  him  to  a 
natrack,  and  intimidate  him  with 
an  explosion  from  Ed's  laboratory 
— all  so  Vic  won't  fail  in  his  first 
commission  for  a  picture.  The 
mistake  is  discovered,  but  Mr, 
Purcell  departs  in  great  fury  and 
withdraws  his  offer  to  present  a 
new  science  building  to  the  Col- 
lege. 

In  the  meantime.  Howard's 
Aunt  Maude,  who  has  put  him 
through  college  and  who  will 
send  him  to  Europe  when  he  is 

fraduated,  arrives  unexpectedly. 
he  is  put  in  Howard's  room. 
learns  of  his  failure  to  pass  his 
zoology  course,  and  decides  to 
pose  as  a  famous  zoologist,  get  on 
the  good  side  of  Professor  Bean. 
and  persuade  him  to  "pass"  How- 
ard. Mrs.  Purcell  comes  search- 
ing for  her  husband,  who  she 
thmks  is  being  kept  prisoner  in 
the  house  in  a  kidnap  plot. 

Anne  Purcell,  aiaea  by  her 
chum,  Vivian,  Vic's  girl,  and  by 
Vic,  posing  as  a  doctor,  puts  on 
a  deathbed  scene  in  order  to  get 
hdr  father  to  sign  a  paper  promis- 
ing the  science  building  if  How- 
ard is  allowed  to  graduate.  But 
Vic's  mustache  comes  off  and  the 
deception  is  discovered!  Howard 
has  left  with  the  paper,  however, 
to  hand  it  to  President  Dixon. 
He  decides  he  can't  go  through 
with  the  trick  and  comes  back  to 

fiack  his  things.  He  will  pull  out, 
eaving  his  girl,  his  disappointed 
aunt,  and  his  diploma  behind. 

But  why  tell  more?  It's  all 
fast  and  furious  and  funny — with 
loud  explosions  every  now  and 
then  from  Ed's  "stinkum  stink- 
torium"  for  good  measure — and 
it  all  ends  entirely  to  everybody's 
satisfaction. 

Says  Ed,  "I  wish  college  was 
always  like  this."  So  do  we! 
We've  had  one  day  of  spring 
fever,  and  we  think  it's  swell! 
This  is  the  concensus  of  opin- 
ion of  the  members  of  the  cast. 
We  think  you'll  agree  with  thorn 
after  you've  seen  "Spring  Fever," 

Speaking  of  the  members  of 
the  cast  we'll  just  give  you  a  run 
down  on  the  list  of  characters.

A  lovely,  sunny  day  was  the 
weatherman's  gift  to  Milligan's 
annual  May  Day  program  which 
was  presented  Saturday  after- 
noon. May  9lh,  on  the  lawn  in 
front  of  Hardin  Hall. 

To  reign  over  the  festivities, 
Miss  Elizabeth  Still,  Norton,  Vir- 
ginia, and  Wallace  Johnson,  Nee- 
nah.  Wisconsin,  were  crowned 
May  Queen  and  King  by  Miss 
Ruth  Brown,  Queen  of  1952.

Attendants  to  the  King  and

John  Worrell  from  the  Freshman 
Class;  Betty  Jo  Mise  and  Jim 
Patton,  from  the  Sophomore 
Class;  Betty  Jean  Snodgrass,

carry  out  the  theme  of  the  pro- 
gram entitled  "Memories  of  the 
Old  South."

THE     STAMPEDE 


Tuesday,  May  26.  1953 


Sports  In  Review  As  I  Saw  It— From  the  Bench 


BASKETBALL 

The  basketball  rendition  of  the 
Milligan  College  Buffaloes  pound- 
ed the  hardwood  and  ripped  the 
nets  for  a  successful  season.  Al- 
though not  as  spectacular  as  past 
teams,  such  as  the  one  that  won 
the  SMAC  six  straight  times,  nev- 
erless  they  had  their  stars  and 
their  moments.  There  were  the 
two  steady  men— the  veterans- 
Sam  Greer  and  Phil  Roush,  co- 
captains,  of  this  squad.  From 
there,  freshmen  took  charge.  It 
was  Jim  Burgett,  bali-handlmg 
wizard,  that  awed  the  crowd  and 
the  opposition  with  his  almost 
flawless  ball-handling.  Bud  Gas- 
lin,  a  "go  for  broke"  guard,  who 
was  hell-on-wheels  until  an  ill- 
fated  accident  forced  him  out  of 
Basketball.  Glen  Barton,  a  ball- 
hawking  guard  who  could  re- 
bound both  boards  with  devas- 
stating  effectiveness  to  the  oppo- 
sition; and  Joe  Dickey.  ^  b\ 
center,  who  played  basketball 
hard  and  good,  and  came  out  on 
top  in  scoring.  And  then  for  the 
scrubs,  there  was  capable  Doug 
Morehead;  and  sharp  -  shooting 
Donme  WiUiams;  Norman  Held, 
a  fighting,  ball-hawking  little 
guard,  who  finally  broke  into  rec- 
ognition late  in  the  season;  Grant 
Layman,  Jim  Fox.  Bill  Casteel, 
Pat  Hand,  and  Tom  Neff  also 
showed  up  well  at  various  times 
throughout  the  season. 

To  persons  outside  of  MiUigan 
this  would  not  seem  a  success- 
ful season  as  compared  to  other 
teams,  but  to  the  men  who  have 
played,  to  the  students,  faculty, 
and  other  friends  who  have 
watched  these  Milligan  Men  play 
this  game  called  basketball,  and 
know  the  coach  who  directs  these 
men  on  and  off  the  hardwood, 
the  kind  of  man  who  teaches  high 
moral  standards,  such  as  telling 
his  men,  -You're  in  Milligan  first 
of  all  to  study  and  make  your 
grades,  and  then  to  play  basket- 
ball"; to  the  men  who  play  here, 
without  financial  aid,  only  spirit- 
ual aid  and  help  they  receive 
from  the  teachers;  to  the  girls  of 
these  men  who  have  shared  their 
happiness  at  winning  a  game, 
and  their  disappointment  and 
heart-break  when  they  lost;  to 
these  people  it  was  a  successful 
season.  And,  a  ten-eleven  record 
is  nothing  to  be  ashamed  of.  Four 
games  could  have  gone  either 
way  but,  unfortunately  for  Mil- 
ligan. they  went  the  other  way. 
However,  not  a  single  man  will  be 
lost  by  graduation;  and  with  new 
freshman  talent  coming,  the  Buf- 
faloes of  '53-'54  should  be  ready 
to  stampede  the  opposition  once 
more  as  in  the  past. 

These  men  deserve  all  the  rec- 
ognition they  can  get,  because 
basketball,  although  a  game, 
takes  a  terrific  toll  on  the  men 
who  play.  This  paper  cannot  at- 
tempt to  give  them  all  the  recog- 
nition they  deserve,  and  all  we 
can  say  is  "Good  job,  men!  Well 
done." 

We  want  to  give  recognition 
especially  to  those  men  who  were 
the  ones  to  carry  the  front  of  the 
attack.  Those  were  the  first  six 
men,  and  here  are  their  scoring 
percentages. 

This  covers  the  21-game  season: 

Barton— 238  points 

Burgett— 216  points 

Dickey — 311  points 

Gaslin — 188  points* 

Greer— 260  points 

Roush— 185  points. 

•Gashn  only  played  in  13 
games  before  he  fractured  his 
wrist.  Looks  like  the  old  num- 
ber 13  jinx  had  him.  Joe  Dickey 
ended  up  as  highest  scorer,  with 
Sam  Greer  taking  second  highest; 
with  Barton,  Burgett,  Gaslin.  and 
Roush  in  htat  order. 

Barton  played  his  best  game- 
as  far  as  points  are  concerned — 
against  Emory  and  Henry  when 
he  tallied  twenty  -  two  points. 
Greer  tickled  the  tassels  for  nine- 
teen points  against  Maryville  to 
make  that  game  his  highest  scor- 
ing game.  Dickey  poped  the  cords 
for  twenty-five  points  against 
Emory  and  Henry  to  make  that 
game  his  highest  scoring  game. 
Burgett  hooked  for  twenty-three 
points  against  Maryville  to  make 
that  his  highest  game.  Roush 
needled  the  net  lor  nineteen 
points  against  Maryville  to  col- 
lect his  highest  scoring  game, 
Gaslin  bombarded  the  hoop  with 
twenty-six  points  again  Austin 
Peay  to  notch  that  one  as  his 
highest  scoring  one. 

These  men,  and  you.  might  have 
ideas  about  which  game  was  the 
best  and  which  game  they  played 


the  best  in,  but  this  is  merely 
their  points  as  scored  in  a  single 
game. 

This    was    the    regular    season 
schedule: 

Milligan  91 Steed  56 

Milligan  73  _  Paty  Lumber  Co.  59 

Milligan  67 Concord  81

Total  1,573  1.540 

So  there  is  one  consolation  af- 
ter aU,  the  Buffaloes — through 
their  overall  record — did  outscore 
the  opposition! 

And  now.  with  the  regular  sea- 
son out  of  the  way,  the  Buffaloes 
got  tournament  fever,  so  on  Feb- 
ruary 19,  1953,  the  Buffaloes 
journey  to  Clarksville,  Tennes- 
see, to  participate  in  the  VSAC 
tourney  benig  held  in  the  Austin 
Peay  fieldhouse.  The  Buffaloes 
met  Austin  Peay  State  in  the  first 
game  of  the  tourney,  but  the 
Governors  knocked  the  Milligan 
Men  out  with  a  92-76  score.  The 
Buffaloes  could  never  hit  their 
hot  streak,  as  it  seemed  the  odds 
were  against  them  as  a  jeering 
crowd  and  physically  handicap- 
ped (blind)  referees  added  to  the 
discomfort  of  the  team.  In  this 
game  Greer  scored  10;  Burgett 
went  wild  with  22;  Dickey  re- 
bounded for  13;  Roush  set  for  10; 
and  Barton  drove  for  15.  Inci- 
dently,  Greer  and  Dickey  were 
named  to  the  SMAC  first  ten. 

With  the  tournament  lever  still 
in  their  blood  the  Buffaloes  next 
went  to  Jefferson  City.  Tennessee 
to  take  part  in  the  SMAC  tour- 
ney. The  Buffaloes  hit  a  red-hot 
L.  M.  U.  team  in  the  first  game 
which  sent  Milligan  home  on  the 
first  night.  Men  for  L.  M.  U.,  who 
probably  never  even  thought 
about  shooting  before,  hit  the 
bucket  that  night  with  amazing 
accuracy.  The  tournament  jinx 
was  on  also,  and  the  Buffaloes, 
although  they  hit  a  hot  streak  in 
the  third  quarter,  never  could  get 
going-  Tournament  nerves.  I 
guess,  out  the  men  profited  by  the 
experience  and  will  be  gunning 
for  the  opposition  next  year  for 
sure.  In  this  tournament  Greer 
scored  11;  Burgett  tallied  11; 
Dickey  bounced  the  boards  for  11 
points;  Roush  stripped  the  nets 
for  14;  Barton  also  unclothed  the 
nets  for  9. 

Their  total  tournament  record 
gives  Greer  21;  Burgett  35; 
Dickey  24;  Roush  24;  and  Barton 
24. 

Well,  this  winds  up  this  year's 
season  in  basketball.  Hope  you'U 
give  these  boys  the  credit  that's 
due  them,  and  be  around  next 
year,  if  you  can.  and  watch  the 
Buffaloes  really  ROLL!

'Em  Out  By  The  Dozen"  Oaks, 
catcher;  Art  "Speedy"  Edwards, 
lef  field;  and  Ray  "Home-Run 
King"  Stahl,  "Duck"  BVown  ask- 
ed for  a  furlough  from  his  Army 
base  to  play  with  the  faculty  at 
this  annual  affair,  and  he  handled 
first  base  like  a  veteran.  (Inci- 
dentally, Duck  is  a  former  stu- 
dent of  Milligan  and  has  had  two 
years  experience  on  Milligan's 
baseball  team.  It  was  sure  good 
to  see  Duck  around  again.)  Jim 
"Errorless"  Fox  was  on  third 
base;  Jack  Dixon  piddled  around 
^U  over  the  place;  Pat  "Take 
Five"  Hand  roamed  the  center- 
field  pasture.  Fred  "Evil-EIye" 
Whitaker  was  behind  the  plate 
calling  the  balls  and  strikes.  (The 
way  he  called  them,  it's  doubtful 
whether  he'll  pass  this  year  or 
not.)  The  student's  team  was 
comprised  mostly  of  the  3rd  floor 
"Wildcats,"  with  such  notables  as 
"Old-Man  River"  LindeU;  Tommy 
Hawks;  BiU  Cast-iron;  "Slim^' 
Stallard;  and  other  outstanding 
performers.  The  battle  went  hqok 
and  claw  until  the  bottom  of  the 
sixth  inning  when  the  students 
finaUy  deciphered  Duard  Wal- 
ker's   "crazy    ball"    and   started 


Baseball 

At  the  beginning  of  the  base- 
ball season  things  were  looking 
up  for  Milligan's  squad.  We 
thought  we  had  two  fine  pitchers 
for  the  basebaU  wars,  in  Dana 
Cox  and  Herb  GiUen.  We  were 
looking  for  a  catcher  also,  but 
Joe  Dickey,  Jim  Fox  and  Harry 
Bibb  soon  put  an  end  to  Coach 
Walker's  search.  In  the  other  po- 
sitions we  had  a  veteran  back 
from  last  year  in  every  position 
except  left  field,  which  was  taken 
over  by  Don  WiUiams  and  Jim 
Burgett,  with  Don  having  the 
slight  edge.  Adding  to  the  out- 
field positions  were  Frank  Hakws 
and  George  Davis,  who  assisted 
Red  Lyons  and  Jim  Fletcher. 
Around  the  infield,  starting  at 
first  base,  were  Tom  Hawks,  lb; 
Fred  Whitaker,  2b;  Don  Taylor, 
and  Pete  Miller  at  ss;  and  last, 
but  by  no  means  least,  Leonard 
Gallimore  at  3rd.  With  this  team, 
there  should  have  been  a  wnning 
team,  but  you  can't  expect  one 
pitcher  to  win  all  of  the  games 
and  have  to  pitch  two  and  some- 
times three  times  a  week. 
Dana  Cox  was  ruled  ineligible  by 
the  administration,  thus  forcing 
Herb  to  more  than  his  share.  Al- 
tering out  of  the  ineligibUity  of 
Cox  it  seems  as  if  the  team  went 
to  pieces,  not  giving  Herb  the 
kind  of  support  they  were  capable. 
Man  for  man,  the  squad  was  bet- 
ter than  any  other  team  in  the 
Smoky  Conference,  but  they  just 
couldn't  seem  to  get  to  working 
together  until  it  was  too  late. 

As  the  season  went  on  and  the 
team  continued  their  losing  ways, 
and  Kerb's  arm  grew  tiieder  anci 
tireder,  something  had  to  be  done. 
Just  whenever  Jim  Burgett  and 
Jack  Dixon  started  to  learn  about 
pitching  part  of  the  game,  Jhrj 
Fox,  starting  catcher,  lore  a  car- 
tiledge  in  his  knee  and  had  to 
be  replaced,  Jim's  strong  throw- 
ing arm  was  missed  considerably 
by  thr.  team,  but  Joe  and  Harry 
did  a  good  job  of  replacing  him. 

The  season  went  on  and  Milli- 
gan still  hasn't  won  a  game.  But 
on  Wednesday,  the  20th  of  May. 
Herb  will  have  plenty  of 
rest  and  Jim  Fox's  knee  is  well 
enough  to  play  the  team  should 
put  away  their  equipment  with 
win.  There  is  just  one  cry  com- 
ing out  of  the  dressing  room  and 
that  is  BEAT  STATE!!!!  So  good 
luck  boys  and  I  say  BEAT 
STATE!!!

ever, the  students  now  had  the 
faculty  at  a  disadvantage  as  the 
faculty  was  on  the  short  end  of  a 
20-9  score.  But.  the  faculty  came 
back  in  grand  style  and  when  the 
smoke  of  battle  had  cleared,  the 
faculty  were  on  the  long  end  of  a 
25-20  score.  But.  the  students

Track 


The  only  thing  about  the  tracV; 
team  that  can  be  said  is  probably 
"at  least  MiUigan  was  represented 
on  the  cinders."  True!  MiUigan 
was  represented  in  track  by  a 
number  of  men — each  playing  his 
part.  These  men  had  intestinal 
fortitude  (guts)  to  run  track.  If 
you  have  ever  been  associated 
with  track,  you  will  undersatnd. 
These  men  trained,  some  longer 
than  others,  and  some  not  at  all, 
but  came  the  day  of  the  meet  and 
everyone  was  trying, 

The  track  team  had  two  track 
meets — both  with  Mars  Hill  Jr. 
College — and  both  times  were  de- 
feated. However,  the  men  had 
fun  and  enjoyed  the  friendship  of 
of  the  students  there  and  really 
received  something  although  they 
didn't  win. 

This  is  a  summation  of  both 
meets:  Joe  Dickey  was  top  man 
in  points  as  he  swept  4  first  places 
and  tied  first  place  with  Gaslin 
in  the  high  jump  and  tied  second 
with  Mars  HiU  for  second  in  the 
high  jump.  Sam  "The  Arm" 
Greer  threw  the  javelin  and  putt 
the  shot  for  a  total  of  six  points. 
Bub  Gaslin  ran  the  100-yd.  dash 
and  220-yd.  dash  and  high  jump- 
ed for  a  total  of  9  points.  Red 
"Jumping  Jack"  Lyons  won  the 
broad  jump  the  first  time  with  a 
tremendous  leap  of  20'3"  and  the 
second  time  with  a  leap  of  19'6". 
He  also  placed  3rd  both  times  in 
the  100-yd.  dash  and  220-yd.  dash, 
which  gave  him  a  total  of  16 
points.  Glenn  Barton  was  another 
"jumping  jack"  as  he  placed  in 
the  pole  vault  and  received  first 
place  in  the  high  jump  in  the 
first  meet  and  placed  again  in  the 
pole  vault  and  high  jump  in  the 
second  meet,  Jim  Fox  put  the 
shot,  threw  the  javelin,  and  hurl- 
ed the  discus  in  both  meets;  how- 
ever, he  only  placed  in  the  Zna 
meet  to  take  4^/z  points.  Don 
Williams  placed  in  the  880-yd. 
dash  to  receive  2  points;  Fred 
Whitaker  and  Pat  Hand  received 
2  points  each  in  the  440-yd,  dash. 
Wally  Johnson  took  2  points  in 
the  two  mile. 

There  were  other  men  who  ran. 
but  didn't  place;  but  nevertheless, 
they  tried  and  gave  the  best  they 
had.  Every  boy  on  the  squad  en- 
tered into  more  than  one  event — 
some  as  many  as  five  events,  but 
this  record  is  for  the  boys  that 

E laced.  We  don't  classify  these 
cys  that  didn't  place  as  "also 
ran' ,  but;  rather  as  the  boys  that 
reaUy  tried  hard  to  win.  These 
were  George  Davis,  Glenn  Cun- 
ningham, Jim  DeVault,  Dick 
Koeber,  Tom  Hawes,  and  Tom 
Neff. 

This  was  a  successful  season 
only  in  the  fact  that  Milligan  had 
a  track  team.  This  took  interest 
on  the  part  of  the  men  who  par- 
ticipated and  the  coach.  Duard 
Walker,  who  promoted  the  idea 
in  the  first  place. 

To  these  men  who  tried  so  hard 
and  gained  so  little,  we  say, 
thanks.  Men."  for  at  least  Iry- 
mg. 


Tennis 

The  tennis  team  this  year  did 
not  do  very  weU.  due  to  lack  of 
experience  for  the  most  part. 
They  won  one  match  and  tied 
one.  At  Mars  Hill,  the  boys  all 
came  from  behind  to  win  their 
matches  and  to  win  the  match  it- 
self, 5-4.  The  tie  was  with  Tus- 
culum at  home.  Both  teams  won 
4  matches  apiece  and  the  match 
lay  !n  ;he  hands  of  the  No.  1 
doubles  team  of  Phil  Roush  and 
Dog  Morehead.  This  author  has 
never  seen  a  more  determined 
pair.  The  score  of  the  first  set 
was  13-U  in  favor  of  MiUigan. 
while  they  lost  the  2nd  set.  Then 
with  the  3rd  set  tied  with  4  games 
each,  the  rains  came  and  ended 
it  with    the   match   all    tied    up. 

Besides  having  Phil  Roush  as 
No.  1  and  Doug  Morehead  as  No. 
3,  the  team  consisted  of  Grant 
Layman.  No.  2;  Leonard  Galli- 
more. No  4;  Tom  Hawks.  No.  5; 
and  Wally  Jnhnson,  No.  6.  Round- 
ing out  the  team,  were  RoUie 
Nagle  and  Al  Blevins.  who  show- 
ed a  very  determined  spirit. 

The  individual  records  are  not 
available  now  so  this  editor  would 
like  to  say  to  the  tennis  team: 
"WeU  done,  boys!"  and  as  the 
old  saying  goes,  "We'U  get  'em 
next  scnicsler." 


Milligan's  Man 
Of  The  Year 

By  BILL  CASTEEL 

Coach  Walker  would  be  at  a  big 
loss,  in  hi5  busy  schedule  with- 
out the  help  of  someone  who  is 
just  as  interested  in  athletics  as 
Coach  himself.  This  someone, 
this  person  who  has  an  equaUy 
important  job  in  the  athletic  de- 
partment and  who  has  as  equally 
full  a  schedule  as  anyone  else  at 
Milligan  College  is  my  candidate 
for  Milligan's  Man  of  the  Year; 
He  is  Bob  WiUiams,  manager  of 
the  Buffalo's  bal]  teams,  basket- 
ball. basebaU,  and  tennis;  friend 
of  athlete  and  fan  alike. 

As  manager  of  the  Buffaloes, 
Bob  has  taken  a  terrific  interest 
in  everything  that  is  connected 
with  keeping  the  team  in  shape; 
the  equipment  and  the  player. 
Everyday  of  basketbaU  season. 
Bob  could  usually  be  found  in 
the  afternoons  at  Cheek  gymna- 
sium. He  was  there  to  open  the 
cage  for  practice;  he  was  there  to 
issue  fresh  equipment;  he  was 
there  to  wrap  an  ankle,  rub  a  sore 
muscle,  or  to  crack  a  joke.  Many 
a  night.  Bob  has  stayed  in  the 
dressing  room,  labeling  socks 
shorts  and  T-shirts,  cleaning  the 
balls,  and  at  least  once  this  year, 
painted  the  dressing  room  floor. 
On  the  side.  Bob  has  managed  to 
carry  a  fuU  schedule  with  two 
lab  periods  a  week. 

Bob,  a  sophomore,  after  grad- 
uation from  Radford  High  School 
Radford,  Virginia,  in  1945,  spent 
a  year  in  the  army.  He  is  a  Phy- 
sical Education  major  with 
science  as  a  minor.  During  the 
summers  he  has  been  taking 
classes  at  Radford  CoUege. 

There  have  been  manv  amusing 
incidents  in  Bob's  career  as  a 
manager,  such  as  tl:e  time  he  was 
mistaken  for  Coach.  This  is  a  re- 
sult of  his  habit  of  dressing  so 
"sharp." 

AU  year  Bob  was  kidded  about 
the  possibiUty  of  forgetting  the 
balls  or  uniforms  on  a  roatf  trip, 
so  he  always  made  it  a  point  to 
double-check  the  cage  before 
leaving.  On  one  trip.  Bob  evident- 
ly had  something  else  on  his 
(he  never  did  say  what);  any- 
way, the  team  dressed  out  and 
started  to  go  up  for  warm-up. 
When  asked  for  the  warm-up 
suits.  Bob  slapped  his  head  and 
said,  "Doggone  it!  AU  the  way 
down  I  felt  that  we  left  some- 
theing!"  He  had  forgotten  the 
warm-up  suits! 

All  in  aU,  though.  Bob  has  done 
a  wonderful  job  with  the  Buffa- 
loes. This  is  to  let  him  know 
that  his  work  has  not  gone  un- 
noticed. On  behalf  of  the  team, 
Bob:    Thank  you   very   much.

ARTIST  CONCEPTION  OF  PROPOSED  STUDENT  UNION 


DREAM  OF  TWO  STUDENTS 
RECEIVES  CHANCE  FOR  REAUTY 

On  March  20,  1951,  President  Dean  E.  Walker  announced 
in  the  chapel  service  a  proposal  to  erect  a  new  student 
union  building  through  the  use  of  volunteer  student  labor. 
This  announcement  climaxed  weeks  of  extensive  planning. 

Here  is  the  story  of  the  idea 
up  to  the  point  of  Dr.  Walker's 
announcement:    T,

their  spontaneous  response 
placed  the  final  stamp  of  ap-

Of  course  the  completion  of 
a  student  conceived  and  built 
student  union  poses  many  prob- 
lems. The  greatest  of  these  is 
the  acquiring  of  adequate  fi-

WHAT  A  STUDENT  UNION  WILL 
MEAN  TO  MILLIGAN 

^  It  vrill  fill  an  existing  need: 

Furnishing  adequate  facilities  for  students,  alumni  and 
faculty  activities. 

■^  It  will  afford  opportunity  for  Belf-expresslon: 

Providing  an  outlet  through  which  students,  alumni, 
and  friends  of  the  college  can  participate  personally  to- 
ward a  greater  Milligan. 

ic  It  will  add  to  the  great  tradition  of  Milligan: 

Standing  as  a  lasting  monument  to  the  united  efforts  of 
a  student  body,  who  visualize  this  building  not  merely 
as  an  addition  to  campus  facilities  but  rather  symbolic 
of  the  indomitable  spirit  of  Milligan. 

■^  It  will  present  an  endless  challenge  to  all  who  follow: 
The  spirit  which  motivated  this  effort  and  the  manner 
in  which  it  was  achieved  will  present  a  lasting  challenge 
to  a  future  Milligan. 


Hyder  And  McCracken 
To  Head  Construction 

Prof,  Sam  Hyder  has  been 
selected  by  the  Student  Coun- 
cil as  the  General  Building  Su- 
perintendent for  the  Student 
Union  project,  and  Dean  E. 
McCracken,  Maintenance  Super- 
intendent of  the  college,  has 
been  appointed  as  Construction 
Superintendent. 

by  groups  of  students,  directed 
and  co-ordinated  by  the  Student 
Council. 

With  full  confidence  in  this 
undertaking  the  students  ex- 
press their  earnest  hope  that 
the  friends  of  Milligan  every- 
where will  share  in  the  realiza- 
tion of  this  dream. 


Virginia  Legislator 
First  To  Contribute 
To  Building  Fund 

Ted  Dalton.  Virginia  State 
Senator  and  a  resident  of  Rad- 
ford, Va.,  became  the  first  con- 
tributor to  the  Student  Union 
Building  Fund  when  he  present- 
ed his  check  for  one  hundred 
dollars  to  T.  P.  Jones. 

Mr.  Dalton,  although  a  grad- 
uate of  William  and  Mary,  has 
watched  with  keen  interest  the 
activities  at  Milligan.  taking 
particular  delight  in  being  able 
to  participate  In  this  venture. 


OFHCIALLY  SPEAKING 


Dean  E.  Walkor,  Preiident  Mil- 
ligan CoUegs: 
"The  proposed  arrangement  for 
the  Student  Body  itself  to  give 
Milligan  College  a  much  needed 
addition  to  its  facilities,  has 
given  me  the  greatest  satisfac- 
tion of  anything  that  has  hap- 
pened during  my  administra- 
tion. One  of  the  best  contribu- 
tions to  the  campus  that  I  can 
think  of  is  Just  the  sort  of  build- 
ing that  is  being  proposed.  It 
will  solve  many  oodol  prob- 
lems. It  will  give  added  space 
for  necessary  activities.  It  will 
help  greatly  in  serving  the 
alumni  as  they  return  in  In- 
creasing numbers  to  the  cam- 
pus. The  idea  of  the  building 
being  constructed  by  the  labor 
of  the  students  shows  that  the 
Milligan  spirit  Is  still  as  vigor- 


ous in  1951  as  it  was  before  the 
turn  of  the  centry.  I  believe  that 
this  is  the  most  significant 
movement  that  has  been  under- 
taken here  for  many  years." 
Mr.  Frank  Hannah,  Chalimani 
Board  of  Tnutfrei 

'The  Board  of  Trustees  of 
Milligan  College  is  unanimously 
in  favor  of  this  fine  project 
This  is  the  greatest  thing  that 
has  happened  to  Milligan  Col- 
lege and  we  are  backing  the 
students  to  the  fullest,  even 
helping  ourselves  if  It  be  neces- 
sarj'.  This  is  a  great  project  In 
that  it  wlU  unite  the  student 
body  in  an  effort  in  which  we 
are  wholeheartedly  in  favor.."

"A  student  union  is  something 
that  Milligan  has  needed  for  as 


Student  Union  Project 
Cost  Estimate  S15,000 

Since  the  initial  presentation 
of  the  proposed  plan  to  construct 
a  student-built  Student  Union, 
and  its  immediate  acceptance, 
many  new  developments  have 
been  materializing  relative  to 
this  tremendous  undertaking. 

The  Student  Council  has  been 
busUy  engaged  in  setting  up  the 
framework  whereby  the  entire 
program  will  be  guided  to  its 
successful  conclusion,  the  pro- 
ducing of  a  Student  Union,  fi- 
nanced and  built  through  the 
efforts  of  a  student  body.  A  five 
committee  setup  has  been  form- 
ed to  handle  everj-  aspect  of 
the  entire  program.  These  com- 
mittees include;  Building  and 
Coordinating,  Publicity.  Finance, 
Alumni,  and  Labor,  each  being 
composed  of  students  and  a  fac- 
ulty advisor. 

The  finance  plan  devised  in 
order  to  underwrite  the  pro- 
gram will  be  primarily  based 
on  a  solicitation  campaign,  aim- 
ed at  reaching  alumni  and 
friends  of  Milligan  In  this  can- 
vassing by  the  students,  dona- 
tions of  money  or  construction 
material  will  be  invited. 

A  huge  portion  of  the  labor 
involved  in  the  actual  construc- 
tion of  the  unit  will  be  furnished 
by  Milligan  students.  Through 
this  plan  of  student  labor  a  con- 
siderable reduction  in  the  total 
cost  of  the  building  will  be 
achieved. 

The  proposed  structure  has 
been  carefully  planned  with 
both  present  and  future  needs 
considered.  Plans  call  for  a  two 
unit  structure,  built  of  brick 
and  designed  to  fit  into  the  gen- 
eral architectural  plan  of  the 
campus.  One  unit  will  include 
such  facilities  as  a  soda  foun- 
tain, booths,  sandwich  grill, 
modern  kitchen,  and  provision 
for  the  sale  of  school  supplies 
and  sundry  items.  The  second 
unit  will  provide  adequate  facil- 
ities for  banquets,  socials,  club 
meetings,  and  in  general  become 
the  center  of  student  and  alum- 
ni affairs.  Additional  features 
of  this  unit  will  include  a  fire 
place  at  the  east  end  of  the 
room,  and  at  the  west  extrem- 
ity, huge  windows  will  domi- 
nate, affording  an  unobstructed 
view  of  Buffalo  Mountain.  A 
full  sized  basement  will  be  pro- 
vided that  will  contain  recrea- 
tional equipment,  a  lounge,  rest 
rooms  and  a  heating  plant. 

The  emphasis  on  producing  a 
low  cost  structure  will  be  strict- 
ly adhered  to,  however  ever%*  ef- 
fort will  be  made  to  construct 
a  unit  that  will  be  adequate  in 
every  detail,  taking  its  place 
among  the  other  colorful  land- 
marks on  the  Milligan  campus. 

far  back  as  I  can  remember.  It 
is  something  from  which  the 
students  of  Milligan  can  derive 
much  benefit.  I  feel  that  the 
student  body  is  to  be  commend- 
ed for  their  bravery  in  under- 
taking such  a  tremendous  task. 
I  shall  watch  their  progress 
with  keen  interest" 
Prof.  Sam  Hyder,  General  Build- 
ing Superintendent: 

"This  is  certainly  a  much 
needed  addition.  I  am  confident 
that  the  effort  will  succeed."

ing. You  may  ask  the  boy  of  your 
choice — unless  he  belongs  to 
someone  else — for  a  date.  In 
fact,  you  may  ask  him  for  as 
many  times  as  you  care  to  do  so, 
but  just  like  anything  else,  there 
is  a  catch  to  it.  You  have  to  pay 
for  both  your  date  and  yourself, 
That  IS  even  more  expensive  than 
"going  dutch"  but  it  has  its  ad- 
vantages. In  fact,  the  good  time 
you  have  more  than  offsets  the 
financial  burden. 

For  the  benefit  of  those  who 
may  not  know  just  what  this 
week  is,  the  letters  stand  for  'The 
Woman  Is  Requested  to  Pay." 
This  involves  making  the  date. 
furnishing  the  transportation, 
and  paying  for  the  entire  evening. 
Transportation  may  present  a 
problem  but  you  can  beg,  borrow, 
or  steal  a  car.  If  these  methods 
are  against  your  scruples  or  are 
impossible,  maybe  you  can  per- 
suade the  fellow  to  take  his  car. 
But  the  girl  has  to  pay  for  the 
gas.  This  doesn't  mean,  fellows,

Autos  Reg,istered 
At  Millisan  —  45 


There  are  -15  cars  that  have 
been  registered  in  the  Dean's  Of- 
fice. That  means  there  are  45 
cars  and  45  drivers  on  the  cam- 
pus one  time  or  another.  The  poor 
man  (that  is — one  without  a  car- 
Diamond  rings  don't  count)  will 
have  to  be  45  times  as  alert  as  he 
usually  is. 

However,  there  are  certain  reg- 
ulations protecting  the  innocent 
&S  well  as  the  motorist,  so  please

College  Concerts 

This  year,  as  m  years  past,  the 
students  at  Mjlligaii  will  have  the 
opportunity  of  hearing  some  of 
the  better  stars  of  the  entertain- 
ment world.  In  previous  years,

known  and  sought  for  concprls 
everywhere,  for  to  him  was 
awarded  the  1953  Metropolitan 
of  the  Air  Award. 

A  very  advantageous  oppor- 
tunity has  been  given  the  stu- 
dents in  being  able  to  hear  them. 
for  arrangements  were  made  be- 
fore Mr.  McFerrin  won  the  award

Yes,  you— and  I  mean  you— are  one  of  244  students  en.

are  a  member  of  a  Great  Milligan  Family  that  is  slowly

It  seems  that  football  was  the  big  drawing  power  in  the 
past,  but  with  football  gone— it  seems  the  College  Choir

Korean   Veterans 
Among  Enrollees 

DICK   BARTON 

This  year  we  have  several  Ko- 
rean veterans  enrolled  at  Milli- 
gan. It  is  doubtful  that  they  are 
known  to  all  on  the  campus. 
Some  are  local  men  and  known 
by  the  comhiunity.  Those  from 
Elizabethton  are:  Glen  Boalrighl, 
Angel  Talsom,  Charles  Hazel- 
wood,  and  Willard  Stout.  Elmer 
Coins  is  a  Kingsport  man.  Jim 
Hamilton  is  another  Tennessee 
man.  coming  from  way  down

back  for  your  second,  third,  and 
last  time. 

Out  of  this  224.  you  will  find 
you  are  one  of  137  men,  or  one

Hopwood      Memorial      Christian

Concert  Series 


The  Student  Council  was  on 
hand  to  welcome  the  freshman 
class  on  Monday  morning,  the  7th 
of  September,  Students,  both  up- 
perclassmen  and  freshmen,  kept 
arriving  all  day,  which  added  to 
the  confusion  of  the  first  day 
back  at  Milligan,  At  10:00  a.  m,, 
the  freshmen  met  in  the  auditor- 
ium for  Orientation.  They  were 
addressed  by  Dr.  Walker,  intro- 
duced to  all  the  teachers,  and 
then  given  a  test.  On  the  after- 
noon of  the  same  day,  they  were 
taken  on  a  conducted  tour  of  the 
campus  becoming  acquainted 
with  our  beautiful  "w  inter 
home" 

On  the  8th  there  was  a  rather 
informal  gathering  in  Hardin 
Parlors  to  renew  old  acquain- 
tances and  try  to  remember  the 
names  and  faces  of  all  the  new 


students.  Not  only  are  there  a 
lot  of  freshmen  this  year  but  so 
many  transfers!  We're  so  proud 
of  our  large  enrollment  this  veart 
Roily  Nagle,  Miss  White  and  Sue 
Ellis  furnished  the  entertainment 
for  the  evening. 

Registration  took  on  a  new  air 
this  year  under  the  capable  lead- 
ership of  Dean  Oakes.  All  upper- 
classmen  and  professors  met  in 
the  gym  at  8:30  on  the  morning 
of  the  9th  to  begin  the  dreaded 
registration.  Much  to  the  amaze- 
ment of  everyone  concerned,  it 
wasn't  nearly  as  terrible  as  ex- 
pected and  it  seemed  to  work  out 
even  better  than  last  year. 

In  the  evening  of  the  same  day 
the  Annual  All-bchool  Picnic  was 
held  on  the  football  field.  After  a 
big  picnic  supper  (including 
watermelon)  the  grils  tried  to  out

POLICY 

To  promote  school  spirit,  good  sportsmanship,  and 
iair  play,  with  a  emphasis  on  Christian  Education 


WELCOME! 


We,  the  staff  of  the  STAMPEDE,  extend  a  cordial 
"welcome  to" — and  "welcome  back" — to  Milligan.  It 
appears  that  this  year  at  Milligan  is  going  to  provide 
opportunities  that  we  have  not  had  before.  There  will 
be  club  meetings,  parties,  basketball  games,  and  various 
other  activities  that  you  should  take  delight  in  and  also 
participate  in.  There  are  several  clubs  on  the  campus 
that  invite  your  membership  and  the  STAMPEDE  is 
one  of  those  organizations.  Its  membership  is  open  to 
freshmen,  sophomores,  juniors,  and  seniors  alike.  We  in- 
vite you  to  become  a  member  of  this  organization 
either  as  a  staff  member  or  by  submitting  copy  for  press 
whenever  you  have  something  "hot."  These  positions 
are  open  for  you:  reporting,  proofreading,  copywriter, 
feature  writing,  and  circulation.  Please  express  your 
desire  to  join  the  staff  to  the  editor. 

Also,  all  clubs  and  other  departmental  organizations 
are  invited  to  submit  copy  for  printing  whenever  the 
occasion  occurs  that  you  have  copy  for  print.  A  special 
.  reporter  or  your  publicity  chairman  should  do  this. 
Just  have  the  copy  in  on  the  deadline,  which  is  posted 
on  the  bulletin  each  month. 

The  faculty  is  invited  to  submit  copy  for  press  also 
whenever  interesting  activities  occur  in  your  group 
throughout  the  year. 

May  I  say  in  closing,  that  the  STAMPEDE  is  the  stu- 
dent paper  of  Milligan  College.  Therefore,  it  is  a  pub- 
lication for  and  by  students  and  it  is  your  job  to  sup- 
port this  paper  and  make  sure  it  makes  the  "deadline"  of 
each  month.  It  is  not  easy  working  on  a  newspaper,  but 
the  knowledge  and  understanding  of  facts  and  people 
that  you  receive  from  this  organization  is  well  worth 
your  effort. 


Education  makes  a   people  easy   to   lead    but   difficult   to 
drive;  easy  to  govern,  but  impossible  to  enslave.

PARTICIPATION 

PARTICIPATION—what  does  it  mean  to  you?  Engag- 
ing in  an  ahtletic  event?  Working  on  the  school  paper 
or  annual?  Joining  in  a  class  discussion?  Yes,  all  of  these 
are  acts  of  participation.  But  this  in  itself  is  not  what 
is  meant  by  that  word. 

Funk  and  Wagnalls'  Standard  College  Dictionary  de- 
fines participation  as:  the  state  or  act  of  sharmg  in  com- 
mon with  others.  This  would  seem  to  imply  that  it  is 
more  than  just  the  act  of  playing  the  game,  but  rather 
the  way  in  which  you  play  the  game,  the  attitude  you 
have  towards  it.  Thus,  whether  or  not  you  participate 
in  life  depends  upon  whether  or  not  you  share  what  you 
have  with  your  fellow-man. 

This  does  not  necessarily  mean  that  you  must  share 
only  your  material  things,  but  in  effect,  every  thing  which 
you  are.  To  do  something  for  t^e  common  good  of  all 
would  be  one  way  of  phrasing  it.  It  follows  that  college 
is  not  only  a  testing  ground  of  how  one  is  to  participate 
in  life,  but  also  a  means  to  develop  and  enlarge  the  means 
by  which  one  may  participate  in  life  more  fully. 

Taking  the  latter  aspect  first,  it  would  be  well  to  point 
out  that  as  one  is  here  to  learn  how  to  do  whatever  his 
choice  of  vocation  is,  one  should  avail  oneself  of  every 
opportunity  to  learn  of  the  practical  side  of  that  voca- 
tion as  well  as  the  theoretical  side  which  he  learns  in 
the  classroom.  Thus  if  you  are  entering  the  teaching 
profession,  talk  over  your  plans  with  one  of  your  pro- 
fessors, preferably  the  one  in  your  field.  If  you  are  plan- 
ning on  a  medical  career,  try  to  work  in  a  hospital  or 
some  such  institution.  Or  if  you  feel  a  journalistic  urge, 
learn  all  you  can  about  newspaper  work,  if  only  in  the 
capacity  of  a  copy  boy.  And  while  we're  on  the  sub- 
ject of  obtaining  a  look  at  the  practical  side,  in  passing 
we  might  mention  that  a  counselor  is  given  you  for  the 
purpose  implied — to  counsel.  He  is  chosen  for  his  abil- 
ity to  aid  you  with  your  personal  problems  as  well  as 
those  which  pertain  directly  to  your  studies.  Thus,  if 
you  are  to  participate  in  life  to  the  best  of  your  capabil- 


By  JOHNNY  BYRD 

Note:  In  a  series  of  articles.  I 
am  going  to  write  the  truth  about 
Communism,  as  I  see  it.  I  am  do- 
ing this  for  three  reasons: 

CD  Communism  is  the  great- 
est single  influence  on  life  m  the 
20th  Century  because,  in  its 
struggle  with  other  ideologies, 
there  is  danger  that  civilization 
may  even  be  wiped  out.  There- 
fore. 1  think  It  IS  of  the  utmost 
importance  that  everyona  know 
something  of  this  opposing  force 
— its  history,  how  it  operates,  the 
methods  it  is  using  to  conquer 
the  world,  and  how  far  it  has 
progressed  toward  the  goal  of 
world-wide  Communism. 

(2)  Communism  is  anti-Chris- 
tian. In  this  sense  it  is  another 
type  of  enemy  and  its  nature 
should  be  made  known. 

(3)  The  picture  painted  of 
Communism  has  often  been  one- 
sided. For  example,  in  the  Milli- 
gan College  Library,  there  are 
about  thirty  books  on  Russian 
Communism  and  Communist-So- 
cialist theory.  Twenty  of  these 
books  are  more  or  less  favorable 
to  Communism.  Five  are  anti- 
Communist,  while  the  other  five 
present  both  views  and  are  not 
definite  on  their  position.  This  is 
not  brought  up  to  criticize  the  li- 
brary, but  to  point  out  that  if  a 
student  reads  a  book  on  Commun- 
ism, the  chances  are  four  to  one 
that  this  book  would  favor  Com- 
munism. And  it  is  not  impossible 
that  this  book  would  influence 
the  student's  attitude  toward 
Communism,  especially  if  the  stu- 
dent had  no  strong  pohtical  con- 
victions before  hand.  This  con- 
dition which  has  probably  beeo 
brought  about  by  library  policy 
in  years  past,  was  not  intended  to 
exist,  I  am  sure.  But  it  is  indi- 
cative of  an  attitude  which  exists 
in  our  country  as  a  whole.  This 
is  why  1  think  the  "anti"  view  of 
Communism  should  be  presented. 

This  description  of  Communism 
is  written  from  the  viewpoint  of 
one  who  believes  that  all  men 
should  enjoy  certain  rights  and 
more  than  this  they  have  certain 
responsibilities  to  carry  out.  It 
cannot  be  said,  then  .that  this 
description  is  unbiased. 

HISTORY  OF  COMMUNISM 
The  Ideas  Of  Karl  Marx 

Karl  Marx,  a  German  writer, 
has  been  called  the  "Father  of 
Communism."  He  wrote  in  1848: 
The  Communist  Manifesto,  which 
has  been  called  "the  Communist 
Bible."  Among  the  different 
theories  he  presented,  the  most 
important  was  a  thing  called  the 
class  struggle.  This  theory  con- 
tained two  basic  ideas.  First,  he 
maintained  that  the  proletariat 
(working  class)  was  continually 
suppressed  by  the  bourgeoisie 
(capitahsts).  As  time  passed,  cap- 


ital would  become  concentrated 
in  the  hands  of  a  few;  competi- 
tion would  disappear,  the  rich 
would  become  richer,  and  poor 
would  sink  deeper  into  poverty. 

In  the  second  phase  of  this 
struggle,  the  workers  would  rise 
up  in  a  great  revolution  and 
throw  off  the  chains  of  capital- 
ism. A  completely  new  society 
would  then  develop,  in  which 
there  would  be  no  classes;  in  fact, 
everyone  would  be  equal.  In  this 
Utopia,  everything  would  be  own- 
ed in  common  by  ever>*one,  pro- 
duction would  be  carried  on  for 
use  instead  of  profit,  and.  since 
men  were  living  together  in  a  co- 
operative society,  all  need  foe 
government  would  disappear. 

Here,  in  Marx's  own  words,  is 
his  fundamental  idea  of  Com- 
munism: "The  theory  of  the  Com- 
munists may  be  summed  up  in 
the  single  sentence:  Abolition  of 
private  property." 
Tha  Development  of  Communtim 

As  we  can  see.  Marx  was  not 
a  very  good  prophet.  The  work- 
ing class  has  not  revolted  against 
the  capitalists.  Capitalism  stood, 
and  is  standing,  the  test.  When 
his  followers  became  aware  of 
this  /act,  they  decided  that  priv- 
ate property  and  capitalism  must 
be  abohshea  and  a  Utopia  set  up 
by  a  different  method.  It  was  this 
question  of  methods  that  caused  a 
split  in  the  followers  of  Marx  in 
the  late  1800's.  There  were  the 
conservatives,  who  favored  or- 
ganizing political  parties  and  es- 
tablishing a  Utopian  state  by 
democratic  means  in  their  respec- 
tive countries.  They  called  them- 
selves socialists.  This  movement 
IS  still  gonig  strong  today;  there 
are  the  Socialist  parties,  such  as 
the  British  Labor  Party,  and 
there  are  also  movements  which 
are  not  so  obvious,  such  as  the 
supporters  of  a  "welfare  state"  in 
this  country. 

The  radical  branch  of  the 
Marxian  Communists  favored 
using  tactics  which  would  bring 
about  quicker  and  more  effective 
results.  Moreover,  they  advocated 
Communism  should  be  on  a 
world-wide  basis  —  not  just  in 
each  country.  These  radicals  call- 
ed themselves  Communists  and, 
of  course,  Soviet  Russia  today  ex- 
emplifies the  results  of  their  ef- 
forts. 

Thus,  it  is  evident  that  the  basic 
principle  of  Marx's  teachings  still 
exist  today.  It  is  also  plain  thai 
the  two  movements.  Socialism 
and  Communism — though  be;aring 
different  names  and  sometimes 
appearing  to  be  wholly  different 
in  objective — have  a  common  aim 
and  are.  in  fact,  the  same  thing.

Try  Your  Luck .  • . 
Write  Poetryl 

The  NATIONAL  POETRY  AS- 
SOCIATION announces  the  tenth 
annual  competition  of  College 
Students'  Poetry. 

The  closing  date  for  the  sub- 
mission of  mss,  bv  all  college  stu- 
dents is  NOVEMBER  FIFTH. 

ANV  student  attending  either 
junior  or  senior  college  ;s  eligible 
to  submit  his  verse.  There  is  no 
limitation  as  to  form  or  theme. 
Shorter  works  are  preferred  by 
the  Board  of  Judges,  because  of 
space  limitations. 

Each  poem  must  be  TYPED  or 
PRINTED  on  a  separate  sheet  and 
must  bear  the  NAME  and  HOME 
ADDRESS  of  the  student,  as  well 
as  the  name  of  the  COLLEGE  at- 
tended, jjm 

In  iy52,  some  20.000  mss.  were 
received  in  the  college  competi- 
tion, from  practically  EVERY 
COLLEGE  in  the  country. 

There  are  absolutely  NO  FEES 
or  CHARGES  for  either  accep- 
tance or  submission  of  verse.  AU 
work  will  be  judged  on  merit 
alone.  j 

MANUSCRIPTS  should  be  sent 
to  the  OFFICES  of  the  ASSOCIA- 
TION. NATIONAL  POETRY

Angeles  34,  Calif. 


ities,  you  must  make  sure  beforehand  that  you  are  go-  , 
jng  to  be  in  a  field  which  you  will  enjoy. 

As  for  the  point  that  College  is  the  testing  ground  for 
the  manners  in  which  you  will  participate  in  life,  allow 
me  to  say  just  one  thing;  there  is  a  right  and  wrong  way 
to  go  about  it.  As  each  person  lives  differently  from  his 
neighbor,  and  as  every  one  places  a  different  emphasis 
upon  various  things,  for  one  to  say  precisely  that  one 
way  of  living  here  at  Milligan  is  better  than  any  other 
would  be  ridiculous. 

Most  of  us  at  one  time  or  another  have  heard  from 
some  well-meaning  individual  that  to  have  a  well-round- 
ed personality  and  to  avoid  being  a  misfit  one  must  de- 
velop along  four  lines:  Physical,  Mental,  Social,  and 
Spiritual.  But  each  time  we  hear  it,  the  tendency  is  to 
say  "so  what?"  The  only  thing  wrong  with  that  atti- 
tude is  that  the  "well-meaning  individual"  is  usually 
right.  If  one  neglects  any  one  of  these  fields,  it  hinders 
his  capacity  to  participate. 

This  writer  is  in  no  way  obligated  to  Milligan  College 
from  a  financial  standpoint,  so  don't  think  that  he  is  just 
giving  another  pep  talk  in  favor  of  it  because  of  that 
reason.  But  it  is  true  that  Milligan's  program  offers  suf- 
ficient variety  so  that  none  of  these  aspects  are  ignored. 
Thus,  one  may  participate  in  sports,  in  classroom  discus- 
sions, in  religious  activities,  and  in  the  various  functions 
of  the  school's  social  life  in  whatever  manner  he  desires. 
Each  and  every  student  at  Milligan  has  something  to 
contribute  to  the  other  students,  whether  it  be  because  of 
a  musical  talent,  playing  basketball  or  baseball,  working 
on  the  school  paper  or  annual,  leading  devotions,  cheer- 
ing at  the  ball  games,  or  working  on  the  Student  Union 
building,  or  just  tielng  around  to  say  a  cheerful  word. 

In  these  various  ways  each  of  us  is  participating. 
Each  helps  to  make  college  life  more  worthwhile  to 
himself  and  to  the  rest  of  the  students.  Each  has  helped 
to  be  a  part  of  Milligan.  —JIM  HAWES. 


A  Little  Fun 


A  woman  went  to  a  doctor  to 
complain  about  her  husband's  de- 
lusion. "It's  terrible.  Doctor."  she 
said.  "All  the  time  he  thinks  he's 
a  refrigerator." 

"Well."  consoled  the  medical 
man.  "that  isn't  too  bad.  Quite  a 
harmless  delusion.  I'd  say." 

"The  delusion  I  don't  mind. 
Doctor.  But  when  he  sleeps  with 
his  mouth  open,  the  little  light 
keeps  me  awake!" 

--John  Etraley. 

"Phog"  Allen,  University  of 
Kansas  basketball  coach,  gave

above  the  ears  and  get  any- 
where." 

A  Milligan.  senior  recently  re- 
ceived from  his  fiance  s  snap- 
shot taken  on  a  beach  and  show- 
ing two  couples  smiling  content- 
edly while  his  girl  sat  at  one  side. 
forlorn  and  lonely.  The  accom- 
panying letter  exp'lained  vhat  this 
was  how  she  was  fretting  away 
the  time  until  his  graduation. 

At  first  the  senior  was  delight- 
ed, displaying  it  proudly  to  sev- 
eral on  the  campus.  That  night, 
however,  after  studying  it  a  long 
time  in  silence,  he  turned  to  his 
roommate.  "Carl."  he  said,  "I 
wonder  who  took  that  picture!" 

One  of  the  most  sickening 
things  to  watch  is  a  couple  who 
marry  and  make  a  goo  of  it.

"I  would  rather  —  and  I  say 
this  carefully  and  deliberately — 
see  a  college  full  of  young  an- 
archists, all  of  them  bickering  and 
Quarreling  and  thinking  among 
themselves  than  a  college  full  of 
driven  sheep  as  we  saw  Hitlerism 
and  Fascism  produce  through 
control." — James  B.  Carey  in  a 
speech  at  Howard  University. 

Two  Ohio  boys  got  lost  driving 
through  Tennessee.  Along  the  de-

The  man  stared  at  them  and 
then  asked;  "Where  you  boys 
from?" 

"Ohio." 

"I  thought  so."  he  soid.  "Wal,

find  it  again."

THE   STAMPEDE 


PAGE  THREE 


Magazine  Views 
American  Women, 
Inside  And  Out 

The  October  issue  of  MADEM- 
OISELLE magazine  takes  a  good 
look  at  the  American  woman,  in- 
side (who  she  is.  what  she  thinks, 
where  she's  going)  and  out  Cwhat 
she  wears  and  where  she  buys  it 
to  achieve  her  highly  individual, 
made-to-order  look). 

The  modern  young  woman's 
doubts  and  confusions  about  her 
femininity  are  discussed  by  Mark 
Benney  in  "Who  Is  She?"  "It  is 
precisely  in  America,"  the  author 
says,  "where  women  have  enjoyed 
more  freedom  than  elsewhere, 
that  the  difficulties  of  adjust- 
ment are  most  poignantly  felt." 
He  asks,  "Can  she  accept  the 
many  and  sometimes  conflicting 
tasks  society  has  imposed  on  her 
and  forge  from  them  a  aingle 
stable  self?"  His  answers  mdicate 
that  out  of  her  uncertainties  the 
modern  young  woman  is  shaping 
a  new  femininity. 

The  story  of  one  young  Ameri- 
can woman  who.  on  her  own, 
found  herself  unable  to  make  the 
adjustment  of  which  Mr.  Benney 
speaks  is  told  by  Lorna  Slocombe. 
In  "Should  You  Be  Psychoan- 
alyzed?" Miss  Slocombe  details 
her  own  case  history,  from  the 
time  she  went  to  the  psychoan- 
alyst's office  burdened  with 
worry  and  depression,  to  the  end, 
when  she  emerged  confident  ol 
her  ability  to  make  a  happier  life 
for  herself.  Her  vivid  personal 
account  of  her  analysis  is  a 
striking  example  of  how  modern 
science  can  help  the  modern  wo- 
man. 

For  those  of  you  who'd  like  to 
switch  your  campus  for  the 
Champs  Elysees  and  coke  for 
cDffe  espresso.  MADEMOISELLE 
presents  a  report  on  "Junior  Year 
Abroad."  Featuring  information 
on  European  colleges  and  univer- 
sities, the  various  junior  year 
plans,  and  the  expense  involved, 
the  article  also  t)rlng  enthusiastic 
comments  and  reports  from  stu- 
dents, now  abroad,  on  the  aca- 
demic and  nonacademic  rewards 
of  foreign  study. 

"Beginners  in  radio  and  TV 
make  out  better,  faster,  in  cities 
that  are  not  production  hubs," 
says  MLLE's  Jobs  and  Futures 
Department  in  an  article  "Radio- 
TV.  Not  New  York.'  The  more 
you  know  about  all  the  angles 
of  radio-TV,  the  beter  you  are 
prepared  to  develop  your  own, 
and  the  small  studio  is  the  best 
place  to  grasp  the  over-all  pic- 
ture of  station  operations. 'There 
you  can  become  a  specialist,  and 
It's  the  specialist  who  gets  the 
big  radio- "TV  jobs. 

The  department  of  dressing  up 
the  American  girl  is  handsome- 
ly represented  this  month  by 
Items  from  the  American  bouti- 
ques. The  term  boutique  has 
come  to  mean  a  shop  within  a 
shop  where  they  sell  "imagina- 
tiofv,  beauty,  nonsense,  and 
thrills."  Here's  where  to  go — "if 
you  haven't  a  thing  to  wear."  Fea- 
turing separates  and  accessories — 
the  best  system  ever  devised  for 
creating  the  most  clothes  with  the 
smallest  capital — boutiques  are  a 
particular  boon  for  the  college 
girl. 

Bud  Gaslin  was  heard  to  say  in 
Miss  Mynatt's  hygiene  class  that 
"hygeine  is  keeping  clean  when 
it's  not  essential." 

They  say  Don  Williams  is  so 
dumb  that  when  he  won  his  letter 
at  college,  somebody  had  to  read 
it  to  him. 

Two  Korean  veterans  were 
braegmg  about  Iheir  respective 
outfits  at  the  College  Store  the 
other  day.  "When  we  presented 
arms,"  said  one,  "all  you  could 
hear  was  slap,  slap,  click." 

"With  us."  said  the  other,  "it 
was   slap,    slap,   jingle." 

"Jingle?  What  was  that?" 

"Our  medals." 

"Thomas,"  said  the  church- 
school  teacher  Eeverely.  "you 
shouldn't  talk  like  that  to  your 
playmate.  Have  you  ever  thought 
of  heaping  coals  of  fire  on  his 
head?" 

"No.  miss,  I  never  have:  but 
say — it's  a  fine  idea,"

PRisuexT's  orrics 


The  users  of  the  Milligan  Col- 
lege Library  are  noting  a  u.-finite 
trend  toward  a  more  efficient  ar- 
rangement of  the  available  facil- 
ities in  relation  to  usability.  Un- 
der the  leadership  of  the  new  Li- 
brarian. John  W.  Neth,  Jr.,  and 
his  staff  of  several  Student  as- 
sistants, books  are  being  rear- 
ranged, shelves  are  being  reset, 
periodicals  are  relocated  and  the 
general  arrangement  and  atmo- 
sphere of  the  fibrary  is  taking  on 
an  air  of  interest. 

Not  only  has  there  been  change 
in  location  of  books,  periodicals 
and  reference  material,  but  these 
changes  have  been  accompanied 
by  correspondingly  necessary 
rules.  As  yet  a  set  of  rules  has 
not  been  published  and  therefore 
just  a  few  will  be  given  here: 

1  Reference  books,  both  indi- 
vidual titles  and  volumes  in  sets 
do  not  circulate,  This  means  that 
they  cannot  be  checked  out  but 
must  be  used  in  the  librarj'  dur- 
ing normal  library  hours. 

2.  Periodicals,  magazines,  and 
other  library  continuation  mater- 
ial does  not  circulate  and  there- 
fore must  be  used  in  the  library 
as  reference  tools. 

3.  The  bringing  of  soft  drinks

namely  cokes,  into  the  library  is

4.  Return  of  circulated  books 
on  or  before  the  due  date  will  be 
e.xpected.  Fines  will  be  levied. 
In  extreme  violations,  permission 
to  draw  books  from  the  library 
will  have  to  come  after  inter 
view  with  the  Librarian. 

5.  The  last  resort  in  any  re 
search  problem  is  seeking  the  as- 
sistance of  the  Librarian.  The 
Card    Catalog,    the    encyclopedia 


and  dictionaries,  the  special  ref- 
erence collection  and  periodical 
indexes,  and  then  finally  cor\sutt 
the  Librarian.  However,,  no  one 
should  leave  the  library  without 
an  answer  to  the  question  at  hand 
until  all  the  above  have  been  con- 
sulted. 

6,  The  Librarian  or  any  assist- 
ant will  explain  any  procedure  on 
request.  Do  not  hesitate  to  ask. 
These  represent  a  few  rules 
only.  The  library  ip  not  a  morgue, 
nor  a  rumpus  room.  Students  may 
discuss  subjects  relative  to  their 
search  but  should  hold  other  dis- 
cussions outside  the  limits  of  the 
library. 

The  use  of  the  library  is  an 
important  factor  in  the  process  of 
education.  Students  are  urged  to 
make  use  of  its  facilities.  These 
will  be  expanded  and  developed 
as  time  and  facilities  permit.  The 
library  Is  the  hub  about  which 
the  academic  wheel  of  education 
turns.  It  is  as  much  a  tool  in  the 
process  of  gaining  knowledge  as 
is  any  other  individual  tool  in 
that  program.  Study  the  diagram 
of  Milligan  College  Library  and 
come  and  use  it  as  often  as  time 
permits.  It  is  your  Library-  and 
will  grow  in  usefulness  to  the  ex- 
tent it  is  utilized  by  Milligan  Stu- 
dents. 


Christian  Service 
Week  Brings  To 
Light  Successes 

The  week  c[  October  12th  to 
ICth  was  designated  CHRISTIAN 
SERVICE  WEt.K  at  Milligan  Col- 
lege. It  IS  an  attempt  to  call  at- 
tention to  the  opportunities  of 
ser\'ice  to  Jesus  Christ  through 
the  various  business  and  profes- 
sional services  that  Milligan  stu- 
dents are  now  preparing  for. 

THEME  FOR  THE  WEEK:  My 
Reasonable  Christian  Service! 
"I  beseech  you  therefore, 
brethren,  by  the  mercies  of 
God,  to  present  your  bodies  a 
living  sacrifice,  holy,  acceptable 
to  God,  which  is  your  reason- 
able service."  (Romans  12:1). 

There  were  five  special 
chapel  addresses  from  .  various 
Christian  business  and  profession- 
al men  relative  to  the  theme  of 
the  week.   The  speakers  were: 

Monday  October  12 — Howard 
McCorkle  of  the  Johnson  City 
Public  School  System. 

Tuesday,  October  13 — Olin  Hay. 
Minister  of  the  South  Louisville 
Christian  Church,  Louisville. 
Kentucky. 

Wednesday.  October  14  —  Lt, 
Col.  D.  W.  Love,  formerly  of  the 
U.  S.  Army;  now  in  reserve.  At- 
present,  Assistant  Supply  Officer 
at  the  Veterans'  Administration, 
Mountain  Home. 

Thursday,  October  15 — OrviUe 
Stevens  of  the  Goodale  Abstract 
Co..  Angola,  Indiana. 

Friday,  October  16— Ed  Stohler, 
Manager  of  Memorial  Hospital  of 
Johnson  City,  Tenn. 

Last  year  this  u-eek  was  called 
the  "Week  of  the  Mmisln.-"  and 
was  conducted  in  the  same  way. 
There  will  be  no  night  meetings 
this  year,  at  least  this  was  the  de- 
cision as  we  go  to  press. 

The  chapel  periods  for  the 
week  will  be  50  minutes  long.  Op- 
portunities-for  questions  and  dis- 
cussion will  be  offered. 

This  "Week  of  Christian  Ser- 
vice" is  not  only  for  those  enter- 
ing the  ministry  but  to  those  go- 
ing out  in  the  fields  of  teaching, 
coaching  and  medicine.  It  is 
meant  to  interest  each  student  at 
Milligan — a  Christian  institution. 


STATE  OF  THE  UNION 


By   DICK   RANDALL 

"We  may  be  using  the  first 
floor  (of  the  Student  Union 
Building)  before  the  Christmas 
holidays."  is  the  most  recent  news 
from  Professor  Sam  J.  Hyder. 
who  has  been  continually  work- 
ing for  the  completion  of  the  cen- 
terpiece of  the  campus. 

Recently  the  exterior  roof  gut- 
ters were  installed;  at  present  the 
Scruggs  Equipment  Company  of 
Knoxville  is  preparing  an  esti- 
mate for  the  cost  of  the  kitchen 
equipment;  and  sponsors  arc  be- 
ing secured  to  purchase  the 
twelve  sets  of  tables  and  chairs, 
each  costing  eighty-two  dollars 
and  five  cents. 

Any  church,  Bible  School  class, 
student  organization  or  individ- 
ual sponsoring  one  of  the  five- 
piece  table-and-chairs  sets  will 
have  attached  to  the  table  a 
plaque  indicating  the  donor. 

The  floors  need  to  bo  sanded 
and  the  walls  are  in  need  of  fin- 
ishing but  both  of  these  jobs  can 
be  done  as  projects  of  student 
organizations.  "Then  with  the 
completion  of  the  kitchen  inter- 
ior, at  an  expense  of  three  hun- 
dred dollars,  the  Union  will  be 
ready  to  begin  operation. 

Alumnus  John  Hart  has  prom- 
ised to  furnish  the  lighting  sys- 
tem. 

The  kitchen  and  grill  will  be 
student  operated  and  will  handle 
the    usual   candy,   beverage,   and 


short-order  lines,  :ind  Milligan 
stickers  and  sporting  goods. 

The  Milligan  Student  Union 
will  function  as  do  others  across 
the  nation;  that  it.  as  the  center 
for  leisure-time  activities,  club 
meetings,  and  banquets. 

The  Milligan  building  is  en- 
tirely a  student  idea.  Former 
students  T.  P.  Jones  and  Randy 
Cooper  gave  birth  to  the  project 
and  worked,  many  times  until 
early  morning  hours,  with  the 
erection  of  a  building  which  they, 
as  students,  would  never  gel  to 
use. 

In  April  of  1951  President  Wal- 
ker gave  to  the  Johnson  City 
Press  a  release  making  public  his 
endorsement  of  the  Union  enter- 
prise. 'The  announcement,  in  part, 
follows; 

"The  doctrine  of  freedom  in  en- 
terprise is  not  only  taught  at 
Milligan  College,  but  is  practiced 
by  student  activities.  That  is  the 
conclusion  that  must  be  drawn 
from  the  recent  spontaneous  stu- 
dent move  to  secure  u  Student 
Union  Building. 

"1  would  like  to  record  as 
president  of  the  College  my  pleas- 
ure in  formally  bikI  publicly  giv- 
ing my  endorsement  to  this  stu- 
dent enterprise." 


"Jack,  dear."  said  the  bride, 
"let  us  try  to  make  the  people  be- 
lieve we've  been  married  a  long 
time." 

"All  right,  honey,"  came  the 
reply,  "but  do  you  think  you  can 
carry  both  luitcasesT" 


Bits  Of  Humor 

Inhuman  Ecpiation 

The  professor  wrote  an  In- 
volved algebraic  equation  on  the 
blackboard  and  it  seemed  to  Jim, 
who  was  at  the  bottom  of  tne 
class,  that  it  contained  every  let- 
ter from  a  to  z.  As  he  feared,  the 
professor  called  upon  him  to  ex- 
plain it.  He  stalled  and  then  fin- 
ally blurted  that  it  was  beyond 
him. 

"Beyond  you?"  stormed  the 
prof.  "I've  spent  the  whole  se- 
mester explaining  it  What  excuse 
can  you  offer  for  not  understand- 
ing It?" 

"Well,"  replied  the  unhappy 
student  as  he  looked  at  the  equa- 
tion again,  "I  guess  I'm  just  one 
of  the  unlettered." 

He  could  neither  read  nor  write, 
but  when  a  distant  relation  died 
and  left  him  a  small  fortune  he 
started  to  make  a  splash.  He  ac- 
quired a  check  book,  but  instead 
of  signing  his  name  on  checks  he 
put  two  crosses,  and  the  bank 
paid. 

Then  one  day  he  handed  the 
cashier  a  check  signed  with  three 
croses. 

"What's  this?"  demanded  the 
cashier.  "You've  put  three  crosses 
here." 

"I  know,"  was  the  replv^  "but 
my  wife's  got  social  ambitions. 
She  says  t  must  have  a  middle 
name." 

The  policeman  stopped  the  man 
going  down  the  street  clad  only 
m  a  barrel.  "Are  you  a  poker 
player?"  the  voice  of  the  law  de- 
manded, 

"No.  I'm  not."  the  culprit  re- 
plied, "but  I  just  left  a  group  of 
fellows  who  are." 


Higher  Education 
Means  Freedom 

DICK  RANDALL 

Your  pursuit  for  higher  educa- 
tion IS  fundamentally  a  strategic 
play  for  a  lifetime  of  freedom. 
When  you  find  truth  you  become 
free  through  the  overcoming  of 
the  obstacles  of  ignorance. 

Just  last  week.  Nathan  Marsh 
Pusey  began  his  duties  as  Har- 
vard s  fourth  new  president  since 
1869.  Pusey.  age  46.  says  that  to 
him  it  is  an  "obvious  truth  that 
the  intellectual  life  of  an  individ- 
ual is  colored  by  his  convictions, 
and  that  having  some  kind  of 
faith,  good  or  tiad,  is  inescapable. 

Most  people  have  gone  through 
college  without  having  had  call- 
ed to  their  attention  the  great 
treasures  of  religious  experience." 

The  new  Harvard  president  al- 
so has  some  important  ideas  con- 
cerning our  American  culture  and 
our  interlectual   experiences, 

"American  culture."  he  says. 
"as  young  people  grow  up  in  it, 
is  not  maliing  them  excited  about 
ideas.  The  good  Lord  gave  them 
intelligence  and  vitality:  it  must 
therefore  be  the  supplementary 
work  of  teachers  to  lead  them 
somehow  into  a  world  where 
ideas  are  exciting.  Early  in  the 
college  career,  you  have  to  make 
intellectual  experience  come 
alive. 

"Formal  education  has  first  to 
make  young  people  see  that  the 
values  they  have  abstorbed  almost 
automatically  from  their  culture 
are  not  necessarily  the  highest 
values.  Youn^  people  must  be- 
come dlisalUfied  with  the  culture 
they  accept  and  this  is  why  it  is 
neccssarj'  first  to  start  revolu- 
tions in  their  minds  and  spirits." 

A  youngster  was  recently  call- 
ed upon  by  his  father  to  account 
for  some  unsatisfactor>'  school 
grades.  He  launched  his  own  in- 
quisition as  youngsters  will  do. 
much  to  his  father's  embarrass- 
ment: "Daddy,  were  they  caused 
by  heredity  or  environment?" 

Each  one  of  us  lives  in  a  rath- 
er email  world,  the  limitations  of 
which  arc  cither  extended  or  con- 
fined by  the  combustion  each  of 
us  accelerates  within  his  own 
mental  and  enviroruncntal  cylin- 
ders. The  truth  is  ever-present 
but  is  there  within  us  the  present 
desire  for  freedom?

Oct.  6 


The  Josephus  Hopwood  Chap- 
ter of  the  Future  Teachers  of 
America  held  their  installation 
Service  in  Hardin  Hall  Tuesday, 
October  G,  This  was  the  first 
meeting  of  the  club  for  the  new 
year  and  thirty-two  future  teach- 
ers were  present. 

The  new  officers  were  installed 
by  Sally  Greer,  the  retiring  pres- 
ident. Those  participating  m  the 
candielighting  service  were: 
Betty  Jeanne  Snodgrass  —  presi- 
dent; Jackie  Harrison — vice-pres- 
ident; Norma  Dever — Secretary; 
Suzanne  Rowe — treasurer;  Gert 
Archer — librarian,  and  Mary  Jane 
Kincheloe — historian.  Then  the 
entire  group  stood  and  repeated 
together  the  Purposes  of  the  Fu- 
ture Teachers  of  America  Move- 
ment. These  six  purposes  are 
found  in  the  handwork  and  ex- 
press the  need  for  teachers  and 
teacher  training. 

Dean  Guy  Oakes,  the  sponsor, 
gave  an  address  on  the  Ten 
Commandments  for  teachers. 
These  emphasized  the  love  for 
God  and  fellow  man.  A  teacher 
needs  a  sense  of  humor  as  well  as 
a  sense  of  duly  He  needs  to  real- 
ize that  each  child  is  an  individ- 
ual and  should  be  understood 
and  treated  as  such.  Dean  Oakes 
expressed  his  hopes  for  this 
group  and  showed  them  what  a 
challenge  there  is  really  involved 
in  this  field  of  education. 

Following  the  business  meet- 
ing conducted  by  the  new  presi- 
dent, refreshments  of  chocolate 
cake  and  cokes  were  served. 


By  "GALLEY" 

Intramuial  football  is  racing 
along  at  a  lively  clip  with  all 
teams  showing  a  great  deal  of 
enthusiasm.  This  step-up  in  play- 
er and  also  fan  interest  could  be 
traced  to  the  fact  that  this  year 
the  teams  are  divided  into  state 
(or  states)  outfits  instead  of  the 
usual  methods  of  selection. 

At  this  writing  the  combined 
forces  of  Ohio  and  Pennsylvania 
are  resting  m  the  league  lead, 
closely  followed  by  Virginia 
which  has  suffered  only  one  loss. 
Tennessee  is  in  third  place  with 
two  wins  and  two  losses  and  is 
making  a  bid  for  the  champion- 
ship. Indiana  and  Illinois  are 
holding  down  the  cellar  posi- 
tions. 

By  far  the  most  impressive  ex- 
hibition of  precision  passing,  un- 
canny passing,  and  all  around 
good  play,  goes  to  Jimmy  Fox 
and  his  Tennessee-Kentucky  agr 
gregation  in  their  rout  of  Indi- 
ana to  the  tune  of  33-7. 

We  want  to  take  time  out  to 
extend  to  Calvin  our  lieartfelt 
wishes  for  a  speedy  recovery  and 
return  to  our  Alma  Mater.  Cal- 
vin was  an  outstanding  basket- 
ball player  in  high  school  making 


All-Regional  and  All-Sectional 
and  we  all  look  forward  to  see- 
ing him  in  the  Orange  and  Black 
of  Coach  Walker's  Buffs. 

Going  out  on  a  limb  now.  I'll 
say  that  basketball  prospects 
should  be  on  the  up  this  year 
despite  such  losses  from  the 
squad  as  Sam  Greer  and  Joe 
Dickey,  who  were  counted  on  to 
carry  a  large  part  of  the  hopes 
of  Milligan  to  return  to  the  top 
of  the  basketball  ladder;  a  posi- 
tion they  have  been  noted  for  in 
small  college  circles  despite  re- 
cent disappointing  seasons. 

Several  outstanding  high  school 
players  have  made  Milligan  their 
collcee  home  this  year  and  all  in 
all,  r  predict  a  good,  fast,  ball 
club  with  a  good,  strong  bench. 

Did  you  know  that  Miss  Mynatt 
is  now  indulging  in  the  sport 
of  golf?  Also  saw  Carolyn  Wal- 
ker taking  a  club  around  and 
taking  an  occasional  whack  at 
the  ball  the  other  day! 

Don't  know  who  originated  the 
idea  of  the  sweetheart  tennis 
tournament  this  year  but  I  no- 
ticed the  duo  of  Harrison  and 
Sweeney  on  the  listl  Records  for 
this  pair  are  unobtainable  at  the 
present,  but  it's  understood  they 
bring  a  rare  talent  to  the  courts. 


College  Concerts 

(Continued  From  Page  One) 
eluded  in  the  program  are  Schu- 
mann's "Holiday  Song";  Verdi's 
"La  Donna  E  Mobile  (Rigoletto)"; 
a  Gershim  fantasy,  "Deep  River"' 
Richard  Rogers'  "You'll  Never 
Walk  Alone,"  from  "Carousel". 
"There  Is  Nothing  Like  a  Dame,.' 
from  "South  Pacific";  as  well  as 
many  other  delightfully  arranged 
numbers.  As  each  member  of  the 
quartet  is  a  soloist  in  his  own 
right,  there  will  be  solos  inter- 
spersed in  the  program. 

Irene  And  Sylvia  Rosenberg 

No  advance  publicity  has  been 
received  on  this  violin  and  piano 
combination  scheduled  to  appear 
on  Tuesday,  January  12.  How- 
ever, each  has  been  on  solo  tours 
for  the  past  two  years,  and  as 
they  each  received  muiJh  acclaim 
on  those  tours,  together  they 
should  supply  all  who  hear  them 
with  an  evening  of  entertainment 
well  worth  the  time  given. 
Nelson    And    Neal 

On  Monday,  February  8.  this 
Australian  -  American  two-piano 
team  will  grace  the  stage  of 
Milligan's  auditorium  to  present 
a  program  which  is  assured  to  be 
one  of  the  highlights  of  this  sea- 
son's concert  series.  The  Aus- 
tralian prodigy.  Allison  Nelson, 
and  versatile  American  pianist, 
Harry  Neal,  were  trained  at  the 
Curtis  Institute  by  Rudolph  Ser- 
kin  and  Isobelle  Vengerova.  They 
met  and  were  married  in  Phila- 
delphia, where  for  eighteen 
months  they  presented  the  only 
television  program  (at  that  time) 
devoted  entirely  to  classical  mu- 
sic. Since  then  Nelson  and  Neal 
have  played  over  two  hundred 
concerts  in  Australia,  New  Zea- 
land and  North  America,  intro- 
ducing many  new  works  and 
specializing  in  original  literature. 

Individually  or  together,  they 
have  played  over  thirty  engege- 
ments  with  major  symphony  or- 
chestras from  Sidney  to  Philadel- 
phia. It  was  our  good  fortune  to 
have  Harry  Neal  here  at  Milligan 
as  a  soloist  on  the  annual  concert 
series  a  tew  years  ago.  Incidental- 
ly, they  will  have  two  beautiful 
matching  nine  •  foot  concert 
grands  with  them  on  their  tour 
this  season.  These  are  the  same 
pianos  that  Luboshutz  and  Nem- 
enoff  had  on  tour  this  past  season.

and  territorial  Selection  Commit- 
tees for  final  selection.  These 
committees  are  composed  of 
prominent  citizens  and  naval  of- 
ficers. The  Navy  expects  to  en- 
ter about  2,000  students  into  the 
program  commencing  with  the 
fall  term  of  college,  1954. 

Students  finally  selected,  if  ac- 
cepted by  the  NROTC  college  or 
university  of  their  choice,  will  be 
enrolled  and  appointed  Midship- 
men, USNR.  They  then  receive 
retainer  pay  at  the  rate  of  $50.00 
per  month  to  assist  in  defraying 
such  expenses  as  board  and  room. 
The  government  pays  tuition,  the 
cost  of  textbooks,  and  other  fees 
of  an  instructional  nature. 

Students  commissioned  from 
this  program  are  obligated  to 
serve  on  active  duty  for  three 
years  and  those  selected  'as  career 
officers  at  the  expiration  of  this 
period  continue  their  profession- 
al growth  concurrently  with  their 
Naval    Academy   contemporaries. 

Applications  are  available  at 
high  schools,  colleges,  and  Navy 
Recruiting  Stations. 

Mr.  Guy  Oakes,  Dean  of  Milli- 
gan College,  who  is  acting  as  the 
local  civilian  representative,  will 
be  pleased  to  provide  specific  in- 
formation about  the  program,  in- 
cluding the  time  and  place  of  the 
competetive  examination,  the 
method  of  making  application, 
and  the  specific  age  and  scholas- 
tic qualifications.  This  informa- 
tion may  also  be  obtained  at  any 
of  the  U.  S.  Navy  Recruiting  Sta- 
tions listed  in  the  NROTC  Bulle- 
tin of  Information.

that  you  are  to  get  a  full  tank, 
either. 

The  date  doesn't  have  to  be  a 
movie  date,  You  may  ask  the  boy 
to  eat  with  you  or  even  go  for 
a  walk.  You  can  really  have  a 
good  time  this  week. 

There  is  always  a  li^t  of  rules 
posted  at  the  beginning  of  the 
week  for  both  groups — Boys  and 
girls — to  follow.  Don't  worr\', 
Frosh.  as  they  aren't  like  those 
posted  for  your  benefit  a  few 
weeks  ago,  The  upperclassmen 
have  to  abide  by  these  rules  as 
well. 

Now  that  you  know  what  it  is 
all  about,  you  are  wondering  just 
when  this  will  take  place.  The 
Junior  Class  has  charge  of  it.  The 
date  has  not  been  definitely  set; 
it  will  probably  be  October  18-24. 
Dick  Carpenter,  the  class  presi- 
dent, told  me  that  there  are  com- 
mittees working  to  make  this 
week  a  success.  When  you  see 
little  paper  hearts  posted  around, 
then  you  will  know  that  this  big 
week  has  arrived.  Anyway,  you 
girls  have  time  to  get  up  your 
nerve  to  ask  the  fellows.  Boys, 
here  is  your  chance  to  go  out  ^^'ith 
the  girl  whom  you  were  afraid 
to  ask  and  it  won't  cost  you  one 
cent. 

I  might  add  that  some  of  the 
couples  here  had  their  first  date 
during  TWIRP  WEEK  in  the 
previous  years.  The  percentage  is 
low,  so  don't  worry  or  get  your 
hopes  up,  which  ever  the  case 
may   be.

challenging  message  of  the  eve- 
ning and  Professor  Henry  Webb 
gave  the  charge.  Each  of  the  old 
members  stepped  forward  with  a 
candidate  and  lit  his  candle  from 
a  large  central  candle,  then  lit  a 
candle  for  the  candidate  from'his 
own.  'This  was  to  signify  the  re- 
ceiving of  light  from  a  greater 
source  and  sharing  it  with  the 
new  member.  The  members  form- 
ed a  semicircle  around  the  front 
of  the  auditorium-  Professor  El- 
mer C.  Lewis  then  gave  the  bene- 
diction; and  while  the  recessional 
was  being  played,  the  members 
filed  out  in  two  files  while  the 
audience  remained  standing. 

The  purpose  of  the  organization 
is  to  form  a  closer  fellowship 
among  the  ministerial  students 
and  to  provide  them  with  some 
practical  help  to  aid  them  in  their 
ministry.  A  project  of  the  asso- 
ciation is  a  preaching  clinic  which 
meets  three  Tuesdays  a  month  to 
give  these  students  practical  ex- 
perience for  sermon  delivery  and 
preparation  and  to  obtain  con- 
structive criticism.  At  the  month- 
ly meetings  an  outside  speaker  is 
invited  to  speak  on  some  practical 
.aspect  of  a  minister's  work  every 
other  meeting.  On  the  other  meet- 
ing niphts.  ministers  of  various 
denominations  are  invited  to  pre- 
sent a  talk  on  their  particular 
faith.

An  elderly  gentleman  was 
walkint:  post  a  post  office  when, 
without  warning,  a  young  man 
dashed  ojit,  took  a  flying  leap  in 
the  air  with  his  legs  astride,  and 
fell  in  a  heap  in  the  gutter,  The 
older  man  hurried  over  to  him. 
"Dear,  dearl"  he  said  symonthc- 
tically,  "Arc  you  hurt?"  "No." 
was  the  shorp  reply.  "But  I'd 
like  to  meet  that  sonavgun  who 
moved  my  bicycle!" 


She  was  so  beautiful,  when  he 
took  her  home  in  a  taxi,  he  could 
hardly  keep  his  eyes  on  the  meter.

There  was  much  activity,  fun. 
and  food  at  the  Gym  Party  on 
Saturday  night,  the  12th.  Pat

September  14-18— RAT  WEEK' 
What  a  week  it  was  —  all  the 
freshmen  going  around  in  those 
funny  lookin'  clothes,  carrying 
funny  lookin'  articles,  doing 
funny  errands,  and  finding  out 
ror  themselves  what  Rat-Week 
means  at  Milligan  College.  It 
ended  rather  abruptly  on  Friday 
but  I  think  most  of  the  freshmen 
enjoyed  it.  That  was  the  point  of 
it  at  least- 

The  Chamber  of  Commerce  en- 
tertained the  freshmen  of  Milli- 
gan and  State  Saturday,  the  19th, 
with  a  breakfast  at  the  John  Se- 
vier Hotel  in  Johnson  City.  They 
were  served  coffee,  toast,  grits, 
bacon  and  eggs.  They  were  wel- 
comed to  the  city  and  wished  a 
successful  year  here  m  East  "Ten-

showing  of  about  150  of  our  stu-

they  didn't  pull  any  fast  ones.  In 
the  fellowship  hall  after  the  ser- 
vice everyone  introduced  himself 
(including  Pat  Kozar)  and  then 
the  entertainment  began.  Our 
own  Pat  Masters  sang  beautiful- 
ly for  us  as  did  Carole  Wardle. 
State  had  two  specials,  also,  but 
we  all  think  that  our  specials 
were  much  better.  Incidentally. 
Jay  showed  his  ability  on  the 
organ  in  the  church  service. 

NIonday  night,  the  28th,  was 
the  installation  service  of  the 
Ministerial  Association,  the  mes-

Mr.  Webb.  18  new  members  were 
installed  into  this  worth-while 
organization.

was  held  at  Hopwood  Memorial 
Christian  Church  on  Wednesday 
night,  the  30th  of  September.  An

things  out  by  a  rousing  (?)  song

79.54  Reports'. 

By    JAY   COOPER 

Perhaps  the  most  popular  and 
widely  known  organization  oti 
campus  is  the  College  Choir.  This 
group  is  fortunate  to  have  as  its 
director  for  the  fourth  consecu- 
tive year.  Miss  Ruth  White. 

This  year  the  choir  is  made  up 
of  sixty-two  members.  Of  this 
number  approximately  half  are 
upperclassmen  who  have  been  in 
the  choir  before.  Coupling  the 
experience  of  these  "veterans" 
with  the  talent-laden  additions 
from  the  freshman  class  and  the 
transfer  students  it  is  almost  a 
sure  prediction  that  this  year  will 
be  the  greatest  for  the  College 
Choir. 

Another  personality  who  wjll 
be  a  great  asset,  is  Miss  Ona  Wei- 
mer. Miss  Weimer,  professor  of 
applied  music,  is  a  graduote  of 
Westminster  Choir  School  in 
Princeton,  New  Jersey,  and  will 
be  accompanist  for  the  choir  this 
year. 

The  choir  is  already  hard  at 
work  in  preparation  for  a  pro- 
gram to  be  given  shortly  at  the 
opening  of  the  new  television 
station  in  Johnson  City.  This  will 
be  a  new  experience — and  a  great 
honor— and  the  thought  of  ap- 
pearing on  "TV"  has  already  in- 
5l>ired  the  choir  members. 

During  the  year  the  choir  will 
give  performances  at  Milligan 
and  at  various  churches  and 
schools  throughout  this  area. 
Work  has  already  begun  on  the 
music  for  the  beautiful  annual 
Christmas  Pageant,  and,  of  course 
everyone  looks  ahead  to  the  choir 
tour  with  great  anticipation. 

These  are  in  brief,  a  summa- 
tion of  the  tentative  plans  for 
the  College  Choir  this  year.  Lis- 
ten at  11:30  a,  m..  each  day  and 
you  will  hear  them  rehearsing. 
Rehearsing  to  give  programs  and 
performances  before  many  audi- 
ences, but  always  with  one 
thought  in  the  heart  of  each  in- 
dividual— that  being  to  sing  to 
the  glory  of  God.  praising  Him 
for  the  talents  with  which  He 
has  so  richly  blessed  us.

Founder's  Day  will  be  held  Saturday.  November  28.  in  Cheek  Hall. 
This  tradition  was  started  three  years  ago  when  Milligan  dropped 
football.  Homecoming  had  played  such  an  important  role  in  the 
life  of  Milligan  personnel,  especially  the  alumni,  that  this  annual 
celebration  was  adopted  to  invite  former  students'  return  to  their 
Alma  Mater.  About  three  hundred  alumni  are  expected  for  this 
event,

(ConUnuod  On  Page  Two)                (Conllnued  On  Page  Thrte)  was  considered— "a  small  but  val- 


uable work  from  one  of  our 
brethren  in  Virginia."  Knowing 
of  the  lost  Haggard  pamphlet. 
Neth  concluded  that  this  might 
be  a  reprint.  After  much  research, 
which  included  reviewing  many 
books  and  an  extensive  corres- 
pondence, he  verified  the  title  in 
Davidson's  History  of  the  Presby- 
terian Church  in  Kentucky.  Dav- 
idson gave  the  title,  a  note  of  the 
contents,  and  indicated  that  Hag- 
gard was  the  writer. 

Working  in  conjunction  with 
the  Disciples  of  Christ  Historical 
Society  for  the  past  few  months, 
the  search  for  an  original  copy 
was  put  forth-  with  great  zeal. 
The  announcement  of  the  location 
and  procurement  of  a  First  Edi- 
tion was  made  by  the  Society 
in  the  October  H&xbinger  and 
DicipUana. 

The  location  of  the  Haggard 
pamphlet  is  considered  one  of  the 
greatest  discoveries  in  Restora- 
tion literature  in  this  cenlur>\  Its 
influence  is  yet  to  be  determined. 
It  was  published  during  the  same 
year  as  The  Last  WUl  and  Testa- 
ment and  antedates  the  Declara- 
tion and  Address  by  nearly  five 
years-  Rice  Haggard  has  been 
intimately  associated  earlier  with 
the  Christian  movement  in  Vir- 
ginia and  North  Carolina  under 
the  leadership  of  James  O'Kelly.

IN  MEMORIAM 


I  have  nothing  to  add  to  Mr.  Mack  Morriss'  editorial. 
It  is  written  accurately  and  authentically.  It  tells  the 
facts  simply  and  plainly,  but  in  a  way  softening  the  blow 
that  print  sometimes  gives,  BUT,  not  living  here  on.  cam- 
pus he  could  do  nothing  bat  publish  the  facts  as  he  heard 
them.  He  could  not  see,  as  I  saw,  the  heartbreaking 
drama  that  enveloped  the  campus  for  seven  days  and 
six  nights.  He  mentioned  prayer  meetings  had  been  in 
progress  for  several  days,  but  he  could  not  know  that 
these  prayer  meetings  were  prayer  watches  and  that  they 
extended  for  se%'en  days  and  six  night.  The  entire  stu- 
dent body,  from  a  special  prayer  meeting  on  Wednesday, 
October  14,  established  prayer  watches  at  day  and  at 
night.  The  men  would  watch  at  night,  two  men  to  an 
hour  shift,  asking  God  to  be  merciful,  and  then  the 
women  praying  by  daylight  and  at  all  times  everyone 
breathing  silent  prayers  asking  that  a  boy,  whom  many 
did  not  know,  since  it  happened  so  close  to  the  first  of 
school,  be  spared  and  returned  to  the  Milligan  family. 

True,  he  spoke  of  a  New  Orleans  specialist  saying 
everything  had  been  done,  EXCEPT  the  specialist  went 
on  to  say,  "What  you're  doing  NOW."  He  meant  the 
prayer  watches. 

Nor  did  he  speak  of  the  students  who  volunteered  their 
blood  so  that  this  boy  might  live,  or  of  the  special  services' 
rendered  by  Marge  Saunders,  Kitty  Wert,  Tom  Hicks 
and  Dick  Barton. 

Pessimists  might  ask,  "Why  did  he  die  if  Milligan  stu- 
dents had  such  faith?"  And  we  answer,  "Who  can  ex- 
plain the  Mystery  of  God?"  Who  can  say  why  a  boy's 
life  is  taken  away  before  he  has  had  a  chance  to  live  it? 
We  can  only  say  while  he  lived,  CaKan  Dougherty  lived 
in  Christ — and  I'm  sure  whatever  the  reason  he  was 
taken  from  us  by  our  Creator,  it  was  not  because  Milli- 
gan students  didn't  have  enough  faith. 

On  Friday  morning,  October  23,  a  memorial  service  was 
held  in  the  Milligan  Chapel.  The  gloom  and  despair  was 
evident  in  the  eyes  and  faces  of  the  faculty  and  students 
and  in  their  hearts  as  they  spoke.  After  the  service  Dean 
E.  Walker,  President  of  thp  College,  who  had  attended 
the  funeral  in  Indiana,  was  asked  if  he  would  relate 
something  of  what  he  had  seen  or  heard  in  Indiana.  He 
said:  "The  people  of  Calvin's  home  church  and  his  parents 
do  ftot  blame  Milligan  College  or  its  students.  Calvin's 
father  said,  'I'm  glad  my  son  came  to  Milligan.  If  we  had 
it  to  do  over  again  we  would  send  him  to  Milligan.  Our 
other  son  will  go  to  Milligan'." 

No,  I  find  no  fault  with  Mr.  Morriss'  editorial.  But, 
he  could  only  publish  the  facts.  Sometimes  the  facts 
aren't  enough. — Pat  Hand. 


A  WELCOME  TO  ALUMNI 

It  is  always  a  wonderful  experience  to  return  to  a  place 
that  is  well  loved.  This  return  brings  back  old  and  be- 
loved memories.  Thus  it  is  with  the  alumni  of  Milligan 
College  when  they  return  to  our  beautiful  campus.  Soon 
we  celebrate  the  third  annual  Founder's  Day  at  the  col- 
lege. This  day  always  brings  a  great  host  of  alumni  to 
our  halls.  As  you  return  for  this  occasion,  we  open  our 
doors  to  you  and  ask  that  you  enjoy  fellowship  with 
the  present  student  body  of  the  college.  In  behalf  of  the 
student  body,  it  is  my  pleasure  to  sincerely  welcome  all 
alumni  of  Milligan  College  to  the  campus  as  we  mutually 
celebrate  the  founding  of  this  Christian  College  and 
pray  together  that  the  ideals  upon  which  it  was  founded 
may  continue  to  exist,  believing  that  CHRISTIAN  EDU- 
CATION IS  THE  HOPE  OF  THE  WORLD. 

Sincerely.  BILL  THOMAS.  President  Student  Council.

"Take  the  happiest  man.  the 
one  most  envied  by  the  world," 
says  William  James,  "and  in  nine 
cases  out  of  ten  his  inmost  con- 
sciousness is  one  of  failure.  Eith- 
er his  ideals  in  the  line  of  his 
achievements  are  pitched  far 
higher  than  the  achievements 
themselves,  or  else  he  has  secret 
ideals  of  which  the  world  knowi 
nothing,  and  in  regard  to  which 
he  inwardly  knows  himself  to  be 
found  wanting."

By  DICK  RANDELL 

The  Milligan  College  Student 
Council  recently  undertook  a  di- 
rect mail  program  for  securing 
additional  funds  for  use  toward 
the  completion  of  the  Student 
Union  building.  According  to  Miss 
Dianne  Walker,  secretary  of  the 
funds  drive,  two  thousand,  two 
hundred  seventy  dollars  and  fifty 
cents  has  been  acknowledged 
since  October  thirteenth. 

Of  that  amount  fifteen  hundred 
dollars  was  contributed  by  John 
M.  Hart  and  was  designed  for  the 
lighting  equipment.  All  funds 
are  kept  in  account  by  the  Ham- 
ilton Bank  of  Johnson  City  and

the  Milligan  faculty. 

Arrangements  are  complete  for 
the  finishing  of  the  main  story 
walls  and  floors  and  the  lighting 
installations.  Then  after  the  funds 
lor  kitchen  equipment  have  been 
secured  other  funds  will  be  di- 
rected for  serving  tables;  each 
table  complete  with  chairs  will 
cost  eighty-two  dollars  and  five 
cents.

THE   STAMPEDE

Who  Will  Be  Founder's  Day  Daughter  ?  ! 


By  PAT  HAND 

Yes.  v/ho  will  be  Founder's  Day 
Daughter?  Will  it  be  Sara  Zacha- 
rias?  or  Kitty  Wert?  Or  will  it 
be  Nancy  Gehrum?  What  about 
Betty  Jo  Mize?  and  Sue  Jackson? 
Or  Katie  Colbert?  Or  Suzie  El- 
lis? It's  hard  to  say  who  will  be 
Founder's  Daughter;  but.  who- 
ever wins,  she  will  have  won  out 
of  a  field  of  worthy  candidates. 

It's  too  bad  that  the  students 
of  Milligan  can't  elect  the  can- 
didate of  their  choice  instead  of 
alumni  and  students  combined, 
because  who  does  the  alumni 
know?  The  students  know  the 
candidates  and  many  feel  that 
they  only  should  elect  the  Foun- 
der's Daughter. 

I  don't  know  about  it  myself, 
because  I'm  only  an  unbiased 
newspaper  editor,  but.  they  might 
have  something  there. 

Following  are  a  few  publicity 
notes  that  the  various  campaign 
managers  cared  to  put  in.  Please 
note— that  the  STAMPEDE  DOES 
NOT  ENDORSE  ANY  ONE  can- 
didate. 


Kitty  Wert  Sponsored 
By  Pre-Med  Club 

Miss  Kitty  Wert  is  the  Pre- 
Med  Club's  candidate  for  Found- 
er's Day  Daughter  of  1953  at 
Milligan  College.  This  5"  2",  blue- 
eyed,  blonde  from  Lock  Haven, 
Pennsylvania,  is  a  junior  at  the 
college  majoring  in  nursing-arts 
The  personable  young  girl,  the 
college  nurse,  is  one  of  the  out- 
standing candidates  because  of 
her  winning  smile  and  friendly 
attitude. 

Kitty  is  a  familiar  sight  on  the 
campus  in  her  favorite  clothes — 
a  blue  sweater  and  a  gray  skirt. 
Her  favorite  meal  includes  steak, 
French  fries,  and  apple  pie.  She 
likes  semi-classical  music,  and 
her  favorite  date  consists  of  a 
good  movie  with  her  best  beau 
followed  by  a  snack. 

Now  that  you  are  better  ac- 
quainted with  Kitty,  the  Pre-Med 
Club  feels  sure  you  will  want  her 
as  Founder's  Day  Daughter  of 
1953. 


JSancy  Gehrum  Choice 
Christian  Service  Club 

Nancy  Gehrum  is  the  choice  of 
the  members  of  the  Christian 
Service  Club  to  receive  the  back- 
ing of  this  organization  as  their 
candidate  for  Founder's  Daugh- 
ter. 

Nancy,  a  popular  and  attractive 
member  of  the  freshman  class,  is 
a  native  of  Canton,  Ohio.  She  is 
majoring'  in  English. 

We  feel  sure  that  she  clearly 
displays  the  personality  and 
characteristics  for  which  the 
honor  of  Founder's  Daughter 
stands.  Your  enthusiastic  support 
will    be   greatly   appreciated. 

The  publicity  manager  for 
Nancy  in  this  campaign  is  John 
Worrell.

recently  at  the  Halloween  party  trying  to  talk  with  their  mouths 
full  of  marshmallows.  From  left  to  right  are:  John  Worrell, 
Gordie  Fairchild,  Barbara  Hay,  Randy  Osborne,  Pat  Bonner, 
Alice  MacDonald,  Nancy  Gehrum.  Kitty  Wert. 


Suzie  Ellis  Sponsored 
By  Commerce  Club 

Suzie  Ellis,  a  native  of  this 
area,  and  an  up  and  coming 
freshman  has  been  chosen  to 
represent  the  Commerce  Club  as 
their  candidate  for  Founder's 
Day  Daughter. 

Miss  Ellis,  recent  second-place 
winner  in  the  GE  Ultra-Vision 
contest  in  East  Tennessee,  is  a 
lovely  and  very  talented  young 
lady. 

From  our  acquaintance  with 
Suzie,  we  are  sure  that  she  pos- 
sesses the  qualities  and  trails  that 
become  a  Founder's  Daughter. 

Jim  Patton,  senior,  is  managing 
her  campaign.  Your  vote  and  in- 
fluence will  be  greatly  appre-

class,  hails  from  Fairfield,  Illi- 
nois. Her  major  is.  of  course,  mu- 
sic. 

Pat  Hand,  campaign  manager, 
publicity  chairman,  etc.,  said  in 
a  recent  press  interview:  "Your 
vote  and  influence  for  Katie  Col- 
bert will  be  a  vr>te  for  Katie  Col- 
bert for  Founder's  Daughter  and 
will,  therefore,  be  greatly  appre-

Keys  Memorial  Organ 
Has  Been  Repaired 

(Contlnuvd  Tram  Paga  Ona) 
son,    he    builds    them    from    the 
ground  up! 

In  September  he  was  called  to 
come  and  estimate  the  cost  of  re- 
pair. Then  November  10  he  re- 
turned and  began  his  work  He 
found  it  in  bad  need  of  repair. 
There  were  broken  wires,  broken 
magnets,  three  runs,  which  made 
it  unplayable,  worn  out  leather 
so  that  it  had  to  be  completely 
redone.  He  took  three  gallons  of 
water  out  of  the  chest,  which 
could  have  meant  destruction- 
After  all  this  work  is  completed 
and  it  has  been  tuned,  he  believes 
it  will  be  in  perfect  shape. 

This  Wurlitzer  organ,  a  gift  of 
Mrs.  Carla  Keyes  of  Johnson  City, 
was  worth  $28,000  when  it  was 
purchased.  With  the  new  parts 
today,  this  organ  is  well  worth 
$60,000. 

The  sound  effects  on  the  organ 
include:  Chimes,  harp,  bass  drum, 
snare  drum,  kettle  drum,  sleigh 
bells,  bird  whistles,  siren,  railroad 
bell,  doorbell,  horse  trot,  and 
others. 

Mr.  Cozatl  says  that  we  are  in- 
deed fortunate  in  having  such  an 
organ  and  it  is  certainly  one  of 
which  we  should  be  proud.  K.  T. 


FT  A   Meeting 

The  Future  Teachers  of  Amer- 
ica of  Milligan  College,  Josephus 
Hopwood  Chapter  held  its  No- 
vember meeting  in  the  Admin- 
istration building  on  Tuesday, 
November  17,  1953  at  7:30  p.m. 

During  the  business  session. 
Jim  Patton  reported  on  the  radio 
program,  which  tiie  members  had 
given.  Sue  Jackson  was  chosen 
the  F.  T.  A.  candidate  for  the 
Founder's  Day  Daughter.  Plans 
were  discussed  for  the  members 
of  the  F.  T.  A.  to  serve  the 
Founder's  Day  banquet.  Jackie 
Harrison  was  appointed  to  be  in 
charge  of  the  F.  T.  A,  newspaper. 

The  program  for  the  evening 
was  a  panel  on  "How  to  Get  a 
Job."  Members  of  the  panel  were 
Mr.  Sam  Hyder,  Principal  of  the 
Elizabethton  High  School,  Eliza- 
bethton,  Tennessee;  Mr.  Hassel 
Evans,  Superintendent  of  Unicoi 
County  Schools,  and  Dr.  Dean 
Walker,  President  of  Milligan 
College, 

Dr.  Walker  spoke  on  the  quali- 
fications of  teachers.  Importance 
of  the  leaching  profession  was 
stressed  by  Mr.  Evans.  Mr,  Hyder 
spoke  on  the  importance  in  mak- 
ing the  child  feel  wanted.  Ques- 
tions were  asked  the  panel  by 
the  F.  T.  A.  members. 


Student  Council  Adopts 
SB  Constitution 

(Contlnuad  From  Pag*  Ona) 
this  constitution  must  be  correct- 
ed and  approved  as  one  of  tis 
first  tasks.  Several  special  meet- 
ings were  held  and  much  discus- 
sion took  place,  but  finally  the 
constitution  for  student  govern- 
ment at  Milligan  College  was 
completed  as  far  as  the  Student 
Council  was  concerned.  It  was 
then  submitted  to  "the  President 
of  the  College  for  his  approval. 
After  approval  by  Dr.  Walker,  the 
constitution  was  presented  to~the 
student  body  in  a  Friday  morn- 
ing assembly.  The  acceptance  by 
them  was  unanimous  and  immed- 
iately, on  the  23rd  day  of  Octotter 
the  first  Milligan  Student  Gov- 
ernment Constitution  went  into 
effect. 

We  feel  that  it  is  a  great 
achievement  for  the  Student 
Council  and  hope  that  we.  the 
students  of  Milligan  College,  can 
fulfill  the  ideals  set  forth  in  the 
preamble  of  this  document:  that 
through  the  united  efforts  we  can 
achieve  common  purposes  and 
solve  problenns.  that  we  shall  as- 
sume the  responsibilities  in  the 
management  of  student  affairs. 
that  we  shall  strive  to  coordinate 
better  student-administrative  re- 
lations, and  thus  continue  to  pre- 
serve and  foster  the  principles  of 
Christian  education  and  democ- 
racy in  order  to  make  a  greater 
Milligan.  This  is  our  purpose. 
Will  you  help  us.

Freshmen  To  Establish 
Dougherty  Memorial 

(Cantlnoad  From  Pag*  On*) 
At  a  meeting  this  week  the 
class  voted  that  this  memorial  be 
in  the  form  of  Librar>'  Ekjuip- 
ment.  A  card  catalog  file  is  in 
great  need,  so  this  will  be  the 
first  piece  of  equipment  purchas- 
ed. Mr.  Neth,  librarian,  has 
stated  that  a  good  library  should 
have  three  cards  for  each  volume. 
Our  library  has  nearly  20,000 
volumes,  but  only  28.000  cards.  A 
new  file  would  correct  this  de- 
ficiency. Later,  if  funds  permit, 
other  equipment  will  be  added. 

Plans  for  the  raising  of  money 
have  not  been  completed,  but  the 
main  source,  it  is  hoped,  will  be 
donations  from  churches  and  in- 
dividuals who  hold  Milligan  Col- 
lege close  at  heart  A  talent  pro- 
gram is  being  arranged  with  the 
hopes  of  using  it  to  raise  funds 
for  this  worthy  project. 

Dr.  Owen  Crouch  is  sponsor  of 
the  class. 


BOOKS  AND  CHRISTMAS 
All  books  in  circulation  will  be 
due  in  the  Library  December  10. 
Books  will  not  be  allowed  to  cir- 
culate in  the  hands  of  the  stu- 
dents except  by  special  permis- 
sion of  the  Librarian.  Students 
are  urged  to  plan  their  work  to  be 
done  in  the  school  period.

with  about  85  in  attendance.  The 
Dixie  put  out  an  excellent  meal 
of  fried  chicken,  baked  beans, 
slaw,  hot  rolls,  cherry  pie,  and 
iced  tea.  Our  own  male  quartet. 
Randy  Osborne,  and  Jim  Devault, 
and  Marcella  Cole  from  State, 
furnished  the  entertainment  for 
the  evening.  Mr.  John  Paul  Jones, 
from  Hillsboro,  Ohio,  flew  down 
to  be  the  speaker  of  the  evening. 
He  had  a  very  inspiring  message 
and  everyone  was  glad  to  gel  to 
meet  this  man  that  we've  heard 
so  much  about.  He  did  a  fine  job 
and  everyone  enjoyed  the  whole 
evening,  including  Earl  VanDine 
who  got  the  top  of  his  convertible 
down  and  couldn't  get  it  back  up. 
He  had  a  rather  airish  ride  back 
out  to  school. 

The  Chanticleers  presented  a 
concert  on  November  6  which  was 
really  something.  Not  only  were 
they  a  good  quartet  but  they-wete 
all  good,  soloists.  A  reception  was 
held  afterwards  in  Hardin,  so  all 
the  students  could  meet  them.  An 
interesting  observation  made  was 
that  none  of  the  men  were  mar- 
ried. 

On  the  9th,  the  Music  Depart- 
ment presented  a  TV  show  in 
Johnson  City,  from  9-9:30  p.m.

and  Sophia;  Katie  and  her  ac- 
cordion; Jerry  and  his  clarinet, 
and  Miss  Weimer  at  the  piano, 
assisted  by  Gail  Shephard.  The 
crew  at  the  station  commended 
them  on  the  fine  job  they  did. 

The  same  night  here  on  the 
campus  there  was  a  baby  shower 
held  for  Mrs.  Eugene  Price.  She 
received  some  ver>'  adorable  lit- 
tle gifts.  Punch  and  cookies  were 
ser\'ed. 

On  November  1 0,  the  Zelotai 
Club  met  at  the  home  of  Mrs. 
Owen  Crouch  in  Johnson  City.

THE    STAMPEDE 


Friday,  November  27,  1953 


COACH'S  CORNER 


Those  of  you  who  followed  us 
through  the  basketball  season 
closely  last  year  know  that  we 
won  10  and  lost  II  games  during 
the  regular  season.  Those  of  you 
who  were  closer  observers  know 
it  could  very  easily  have  been  a 
14-7  record  had  it  not  been  for 
these  four  reversals:  a  96-92  over- 
time loss  to  Tusculum;  a  71-72 
loss  to  Austin  Peay  State;  a  loss 
at  Emory  and  Henry,  83-85;  and 
a  73-75  defeat  on  Carson-New- 
man's court.  Of  course,  there  are 
a  lot  of  "ifs"  in  basketball  as  well 
as  in  anything  else.  But,  well  .  .  .  . 

Still  referring  to  last  season's 
team,  it  might  be  surprising  to 
some  to  know  that  we  averaged 
74.9  points  in  21  games. 

Looking  ahead  now  to  the  season 
which  is  so  close  upon  us,  I  am 
"on  the  fence"  between  optimism 
and  pessimism  with  a  heavy 
leaning  toward  the  former  as  far 
as  our  winning  either  conference 
championship  is  concerned.  We 
can  have  a  good  season  without 
winning  either  championship, 
but  with  a  lot  of  work  on  the 
part  of  the  squad  we  can  have  a 
better  season  with  the  top  spot 
.in  either  VSAC  or  SMAC. 

At  the  present  time  we  have  a 
sixteen-man  practice  squad,  10  to 
12  of  which  will  compete  in  the 
regular  games.  Nine  of  the  16  are 
new  to  Milligan  basketball.  Of  the 
others,  one  is  a  senior,  one  is  a 
junior,  and  the  remainder  are 
sophomores.  Seven  of  the  above 
16  were  on  last  last  year's  15-man 
squad.  Joe  Dickey,  6'4"  center 
was  unable  to  return  to  Milligan 
this  fall.  Five  other  members  of 
the  '52-"53  squad  are  still  in 
school  here,  but  are  not  on  the 
-  sqasri-Iliis  yedr.  The  sixteen  boys 
working  now  are  to  be  commend- 
ed for  their  efforts,  and  they  de- 
serve your  support.  The  squad  is 
as  follows:  Jim  Burgett  and  Bud 
Gaslin,  co-captains;  Glen  Barton, 
Phil  Roush,  Norman  Held,  Don 
Williams,  Pat  Hand.  Jim  Crouch, 
Duard  Aldridge,  Al  Covel,  Jim 
Wilhoit.  Ted  McKeehan,  Roy 
Sparks,  John  Hall.  Bob  VanBuren 
and  Scott  Lewis. 

Bob  Williams  and  Joe  Hill  are 
doing  good  work  as  team  man- 
agers. 

From  all  indications  we  won't 
be  hurting  from  any  superiority 
complex.  On  the  contrary,  we 
will  have  a  good  psychological  ad- 
vantage over  our  opponents.  In  a 
national    ranking,  similar    to  the 


Litkenhous  ratings  m  football,  we 
are  supposed  to  defeat  only  two 
of  the  colleges  on  our  '53-'54 
schedule — King  and  Carson-New-

Shots  At  Sports 

By  "GALLEY" 

Sports  interest  at  Milligan  is  on 
the  rampage  as  teachers  and  stu- 
dents alike  await  the  official 
opening  of  the  1953-54  basketball 
season  at  Cheek  Gymnasium  De- 
cember 4,  with  Appalachian  Slate 
Teacher  College. 

Coach  Walker  will  rely  upon  a 
team  composed  almost  entirely 
of  sophomores  and  freshmen  as 
he  faces  "the  always  formidable 
force  from  Boone,  North  Caro- 
lina. Phil  Rousch,  senior,  and  Pat 
Hand,  junior,  round  out  the  team. 

Also  seen  in  action  will  be  sev- 
eral additions  to  the  cheering 
squad — Pat  Bonner,  Sue  Sparks, 
Anne  Miller,  and  Larry  Craig 
showed  up  extremely  well  in 
tryouts  and  along  with  lettermen 
Betty  Snodgrass  and  "Doc" 
Hawes  should  give  the  cheering 
section  a  boost. 

The  "Goons"  are  back  on  the 
hardwood  and  basketball  has 
reached  a  new  low.  Clad  in  bright 
red  trunks  and  employing  "if 
they  wait,  we'll  catch  them"  sys- 
tem the  boys  exhibit  a  type  of 
basketball  not  seen  often  in  these 
parts  (or  any  other). 

After  warmup  games  with  the 
"deacons,"  they  boldly  challenge 
the  girls  club  of  Miss  Con- 
ffKTio-  Mynatt.  Anybody  taking 
bets? 

I  understand  that  this  year's 
girl's  team  is  seeking  to  schedule 
several  games  with  other  colleges. 
Be  good  to  see  the  girls  perform 
in  oiir  own  gymnasium.  Last 
year's  team,  coached  by  Mrs.  Vest 
played  in  the  City  League  in 
Johnson  City  and  wound  up  in 
third  place  in  the  gold  medal 
tournament.  Now  that  the  girls 
have  a  year  of  experience  and 
with  the  addition  of  several  new- 
comars  this  year's  team  should  be 
able  to  provide  some  exciting 
moments.  - 

Question  of  the  week:  Who 
will  be  Founder's  Day  Daugh> 
ler?

By  "GALLEY" 

The  football  forces  of  Virginia 
rolled  up  a  season  record  of  4 
wins,  1  loss,  and  one  tic  to  take 
first  place  in  the  intramural 
football  program  headed  by 
Coach  Walker. 

One  of  the  main  features  of  the 


successes  of  the  Virginia  team 
lies  in  the  rugged  line  play  ex- 
hibited by  such  stalwarts  as  Bill 
Sayers,  Bob  Williams,  Doug 
Morehead,  Sam  Elam.  Chad  Boil- 
ing, and  Bob  Whitt.  Not  to  be  de- 
nied was  the  work  of  such  men 
in  the  backfield  as  "Bum"  Sproles 
and  "Razz"  Fletcher. 


SHEPHERDS  IN 
OUR  MIDST 

Clarence  Ros.=  and  Sid  Walker 
are  freshmen  members  of  our  Mil- 
ligan circle  who  have  experience 
in  a  field  not  known  to  many. 
Anyone  who  knows  the  program 
of  the  4-H  or  F.  F.  A.  will  be  m- 
terested  in  the  following  com- 
ments: 

Ross  became  an  F.  F.  A.  mem- 
ber in  high  school  days  in  Lex- 
ington, Ohio.  Sheep  raising  was 
one  of  his  projects  along  with 
dairy  and  grain.  During  the  sum- 
mer months  he  showed  his  sheep 
in  various  county  and  state  fairs. 
Ross  said  that  he  had  received 
about  five  shoe  boxes  full  of  rib- 
bons from  these  contests. 

Ross  was  conferred  the  honor- 
ary degree  of  State  Farmer  of 
Ohio  at  a  banquet  m  which  Gov- 
ernor Lauche  gave  the  address  to 
an  audience  of  over  4.000  people. 
The  degree  was  given  to  those 
among  the  top  two  hundred  Fu- 
ture Farmers  of  America  mem- 
bers. These  members  displayed 
the  most  efficiency  in  their  proj- 
ects during  the  four  high  school 
years. 

Clarenco-Ross  is  a  member  of  a 
family  that  buys  and  sells  sheep. 
They  have  on  their  farm  one  of 
the  few  Montadale  sheep  herds  in 
the  United  States.  It  is  the  sev- 
enth flock  brought  to  Ohio. 

Sid  Walker,  the  other  fresh- 
man, hails  from  the  Woodbine 
Farms  of  Gambier,  Ohio.  He,  too, 
was  affiliated  with  the  F.  F.  A.  in 
the  Mt.  Vernon  High  School.  Wal- 
ker was  an  officer  in  the  F.  F.  A. 
for  four  years,  having  Sentinel, 
Treasurer,  Vice-President  and 
Treasurer  offices  respectively. 

Sid  grew  up  on  the  sheep  farm 
and  has  a  great  amount  of  ex- 
perience in  sheep  raising.  Before 
college  he  raised  Corriedales.  The 
whole  flock  had  grown  to  467  at 
the  time  Walker  came  here  to 
Milligon.  There  are  obout  eight 
flocks  of  that  size  in  Ohio. 

Walker  said  that  he  had  shown 
the  Corriedales  in  many  county 


THE  ALL-STAR  TEAM— Front  row  (L  to  R):  Scott  Lewis. 
Bill  Sayers,  Sid  Walker,  Bob  Whitt,  Al  Covel.  Bob  Williams. 
Sam  Elam.  Back  row  (L  to  R):  Pat  Hand,  James  Fox,  James 
Fletcher,  George  Davis.

LIBRARY   NOTES 


Investigation  in  the  Library  in- 
dicates Vliat  the  student  and  cui- 
lege  publications  have  undergone 
many  changes  in  both  name  and 
content  with  the  passing  years. 
The  earliest  issue  that  we  have  is 
known  as  THE  MILLIGAN  ERA, 
dated  December.  1898,  and  edited 
by  J.  and  S.  E.  L.  Hopwood,  This 
number  is  Vol.  Ill,  vvhich  indi- 
cates the  publication  began  in 
1896.  By  1901,  THE  MILLIGAN 
LIGHT  was  in  publication  by  the 
same  editors.  We  have  only  the 
July  issue  of  that  year.  From 
other  sources  we  learn  of  THE 
NEW  HORIZON  issued  sometime 
during  the  first  decade  of  the 
20th  century.  We  have  no  copies 
of  this.  By  the  middle  of  the  sec- 
ond decade,  we  find  THE  LIGHT, 
published  by  the  Hopwoods  dur- 
ing his  second  Presidential  per- 
iod, of  which  we  have  February 
and  July  numbers  without  the 
year  dates — probably  in  1915,  Fol- 
lowing World  War  I,  THE  PERI- 
SCOPE enjoyed  a  few  years  of 
prosperity  but  by  1924  it  gave 
way  to  THE  TRIDENT.  We  have 


fairs  and  in  state  fairs.  The  fam- 
ily has  the  coveted  G.  A  T. 
trophy.  In  fact,  there  are  enough 
trophies  in  the  Walker  home  to 
fill  the  reserve  book  shelf  in  the 
library;  moreover  Sid  said  that 
he  had  enough  ribbons  to  hne  his 
room  all;  over. 

The  process  of  getting  sixteen 
or  eighteen  sheep  ready  to  show 
in  a  fair  involves  a  period  of 
about  one  month.  The  sheep  must 
be  washed  or  cleaned,  blocked, 
and  covered  with  a  sheep  blanket. 
"One  method  of  washing  sheep," 
Ross  said,  "is  to  use  "Gold  Dust" 
and  water."  Walker  has  a  secret 
method  of  cleaning  the  sheep's 
wool.  The  blanket  keeps  the 
wool  clean  and  tight  Blocking  a 
sheep's  wool  is  similar  to  giving 
a  "flat  top"  hair  cut.  except  that 
the  sheep  has  four  sides  when 
finished.  DICK  BARTON 


no  record  of  the  period  of  publi- 
cation of  THE  TRIDENT,  but  by 
1935  THE  STAMPEDE  was  is- 
sued. Except  for  the  Navy  V-12 
period  of  World  War  II,  it  has 
survived  thru  the  current  num- 
ber, November  1953.  Perhaps 
there  were  other  publications  we 
have  missed? 

THE  ^ULLIGAN  ALUMNUS  of 
1928-1929  to  ??.  was  superceded 
by  THE  BUFFALO  RANGE 
which  sent  news  of  the  college 
and  alumni  over  the  MiUigan 
family.  This  ceased  with  the 
Navy  V-12  era.  We  have  copies 
of  another  issue.  Fall,  1947,  which 
was  published  after  the  war.  It 
has  now  been  replaced  by  THE 
\aLL-AGENDA,   started  in  1950. 

Have  you  heard  of  these 
papers?  What  about  extra  copies? 
We  would  like  to  complete  our 
Librar>'  files.  This  would  be  an 
area  of  service  to  Milligan  Col- 
lege. Perhaps  your  father,  moth- 
er, or  friends  attended  Milligan 
in  years  past.  Do  they  have  old 
papers,  pictures,  and  college 
items  that  could  be  made  avail- 
able to  the  college? 

Any  annuals  prior  to  1921 
would  be  most  welcome.  We  need 
1923.  1926.  1928.  1933.  1934,  1935, 
1936.  1937,  1942.  and  1946  to 
make  a  complete  run.  Your 
Christmas  vacation  would  be  a 
good  time  to  talk  about  Milligan 
and  interest  alumni  in  our  pro- 
gram.

He  drew  the  image  for  all  to  see... 


Jt  was  in  New  York  City,  on  Christmas  Eve,  1822,  that  Clement 
Clarke  Moore  in  the  quiet  hour  before  dinner  set  himself  to  writing 
a  simple  Christmas  jingle  to  read  as  a  present  to  his  children.  His 
quill  pen  slowly  scratched  out  the  coords: 

"  'Twas  the  night  before  Christmas,  when  all  through  the  house  .  .  ." 

The  children  squealed  with  delight  when  he  read  it  to  them  after 
dinner,  especially  at  the  parts  about  St.  Nick's  rosy  cheeks,  and 
twinkling  eyes,  and  white-as-snow  beard  and  his  "little  round  belly 
that  shook,  when  he  laughed,  like  a  bowlful  of  jelly."  When  they 
were  safely  tucked  away,  with  visions  of  sugar-plums  dancing  in 
their  heads,  modest  Clement  Clarke  Moore  buried  his  poem  in  the 
silence  of  his  desk. 

But  his  children  would  not  let  it  rest  there,  and  soon  its  simple 
verses  swept  through  the  land  and  into  the  hearts  of  all  the  people, 
and  Clement  Moore's  image  of  St.  Nick  became  the  best-known, 
best-loved  man  in  America. 


There  are  those,  mostly  oldsters  of  6  or  more,  who  quibble  at  times 
about  whether  he  actually  exists.  There  are  those  who  say  he 
doesn't  REALLY  come  down  the  chimney  .  .  .  that  he  isn't  flesh 
and  blood,  after  all.  You  can't  actually  SEE  him,  they  say.  You 
can't  SEE  love,  either  ....  or  freedom  ...  or  hope. 

But  again  this  year  ten  miUion  pretty  neu)  dolls  will  suddenly  ap- 
pear under  the  Chri-^tmas  trees.  And  a  whole  great  new  fleet  of 
electric  trains  will  whistle  at  the  tunnels,  and  go  clickety-clack, 
clickety-clack  down  the  bock  straightaway.  He  has  been  called  a 
myth  ...  a  hoax,  even.  But  in  all  the  universe  is  there  a  HAPPIER 
hoax,  or  a  myth  that  accomplishes  so  many  physical  miracles?  We 
have  believed  in  the  possibility  of  a  lot  of  things  in  America  which 
couldn't  at  first  be  PROVED.  Wires  that  talk  .  .  .  drugs  that  cure 
.  .  .  Libert!/  and  Justice  for  all.  We  have  never  PROVED  that 
there  is  a  Santa  Clans.  But  the  BELIEF  in  him  is  constant  in  (he 
minds  0/  children,  for  as  we  grotc  to  the  ancient  age  of  S  and  dis- 
believe, we  are  replaced  by  others  who  "see"  him.  sharp  and  clear, 
for  the  first  time.

Freedom    Of    Destiny 


There  was  once  a  nation  which  for  several  thousand 
years  underwent  extensive  preparation  so  that  one  man 
could  use  four  years  to  fulfill  his  mission  on  earth.  The 
man  came.  Heknew  what  he  was  here  for  and  he  ac- 
complished his  mission. 

His  parents  were  predetermined;  ours  also  were. 
Also  predetermined  was  his  nationality  and  several 
other  things.  However,  these  fixed  things  were  not 
nearly  so  important  in  determining  his  contribution  to 
men  as  were  the  things  which  he  determined  by  his 
own  will. 

Because  he  maintained  the  highest  ideals  in  his  con- 
tact with  man  and  God  and  because  he  operated  his  life 
under  a  long-range  plan  he  finally  declared  that  the  hour 
had  come  —  mission  accomplished! 

What  is  the  "manifest  destiny"  of  your  life?  When 
will  you  be  able  to  say,  "My  hour  has  come;  this  accom- 
plishment, this  contribution  to  mankind  is  that  result 
of  a  long-rang  life  plan  which  was  launched  in  my 
youth"? 

Could  a  Christian  young  person  ask  for  a  better  time 
or  for  a  better  situation  for  launching  that  idea  or 
calling  which  possesses  his  soul?  You  are  in  a  youthful 
and  a  free  nation.  You  are  in  a  church-related  college. 
You  have  freedom  of  your  will.  That  means  that  you 
can.  if  you  will,  set  your  own  destiny  and  then  mani- 
fest it. 

Carlyle  once  said  that  "life  is  but  a  span  of  time  be- 
tween two  eternities";  this  age  and  this  day  is  your  own 
precious  nugget  of  time. 

This  is  the  age  he  chose  for  me 
Between   creation   and    eternity; 
My   golden   hour  —  my   precious  span 
In  all  the  years  allotted  man. 

This  is  the  age  he  chose  for  me; 
This  is  my  era  of  destiny. 
I  have  a   piupose  to  fulfill  — 
The  consummation  of  his  will. 

This  is  the  age  he  chose  for  me 

I  shall    match   this  hour  with  effort  supreme 

Between  creation  and  eternity. 

To  consummate   his  ageless  dxeam!— Miller.

NOTE:  Last  month,  I  gave  a 
brief  history  of  Communism, 
showing  Karl  Marx's  ideas  and 
how  they  have  developed  to 
the  present  day.  It  was  also 
pointed  out  thai  Socialism  and 
Communism  are  practically  the 
same,  the  only  difference  being 
in  the  methods  used  to  bring 
them  into  existence. 

Since  the  world  is  now  most 
concerned  with  Russian  Com- 
munism, a  brief  history  will 
now  be  given  of  the  rise  of 
Communism  in  Russia. 

The  comment  and  criticism 
of  the  first  article  is  greatly 
appreciated.  My  only  hope  is 
that  these  articles  will  be  in- 
formative and  that,  perhaps,  an 
interest  will  be  developed  in 
this  very  timely  and  important 
subject. — J.  B. 

RUSSIAN  COMMUNISM 

The  Development 

Communism  in  Russia  may  be 
divided  into  four  periods,  the 
first  being  from  1917-22,  For 
hundreds  of  years  prior  to  l!tt7, 
the  Russian  people  had  lived 
under  the  despotic  rule  of  one 
family  which  went  by  the  title  of 
Czar.  It  was  not  until  1905  that 
the  Czar  allowed  the  formation 
of  any  type  of  representative  gov- 
ernment which  was  in  the  form 
of  a  two-chamber  parliament, 
called  the  Duma.  The  Duma,  how- 
ever, was  verj'  weak,  but  it  last- 
ed until  March,  1917.  when  in  a 
dramatic  revolt,  it  overthrew  the 
Czar.  Then  for  several  months. 
two  parties  engaged  in  a  grim 
struggle  to  gain  control  of  the 
government.  By  October,  the 
more  radical  element  led  by  two 
Marxists.  Lenin  and  Trolsky.  had 
won  out.  Soon  a  constitution  was 
drawn  up.  and  then  Lenin  start- 
ed the  "great  experiment"  —  a 
movement  which  is  almost  un- 
equalled in  its  world-wide  conse- 
quences. ALL  land,  buildings, 
railroads,  factories,  in  fact.  EV- 
ERYTHING of  value,  was  confis- 
cated by  the  government.  Distri- 
bution of  wealth  was  made  ac- 
cording to  the  needs  of  the  peo- 
ple. This  philosophy  of  Commun- 
ism in  its  purest  form  was  in  ef- 
fect for  about  five  years. 

The  second  period  of  Russian 
Communism  started  in  1922.  when 
a  slight  retreat  was  made  back 
into  Capitalism  by  the  adoption 
of  the  New  Economic  Policy. 
Why  was  this  done?  Lenin,  him- 
self, said  this  "strategic  retreat" 
was  made  because.  "If  we  had 
not  transformed  our  economic 
policy,  we  should  not  have  lasted 
many  months  longer."  This 
proved  one  thing — pure  Com- 
munism will  not  work  because 
there  is  always  the  danger  that 
the  oppressed  people,  deprived  of 
any  initiative,  will  revolt.  The 
New  Economic  Policy  was  in  af- 
fect for  about  five  years. 

However,  in  1928.  a  return  was 
made  to  Communism.  Lenin  had 
died  in  1924.  and,  for  the  next 
three  years,  a  struggle  for  his  po- 
sition was  made  by  two  men.  It 
was  thought  the  Lenin's  partner, 
Trotsky,  was  the  most  likely  con- 
tender. But  Trotsky  was  opposed 
by  an  almost  unknown  individual 
who  had  come  up  through  the 
part>'  ranks,  Joseph  Stalin.  Sta- 
lin verj'  easily  won  out  and  had 
Trotsky  expelled  from  the  coun- 
tr>-  in  1927,  later  to  be  murdered 
by  one  of  Stalin's  agents  in  Mexi- 
co City  in  1940.  So  in  1928,  the 
Russian     economy     reverted     to 


Communism  by  the  adoption  of 
Stalin's  first  Five- Year  Plan. 
Whereas,  such  a  move  had  failed 
in  the  early  ■20's,  this  one  u'as 
successful  for  one  reason — Stalin 
now  had  the  military,  with  which 
to  back  his  orders  up.  Now,  any 
revolt  of  the  people  against  the 
tyrannical  rule  was  quickly  dis- 
couraged. 

This  third  period  in  the  devel- 
opment of  Russian.  Communism 
covers  the  year  from  1928-45. 
These  seventeen  years  are  mark- 
ed by  three  important  character- 
istics. The  growth  of  the  military 
to  carry  out  the  orders  of  the 
state  has  already  been  mention- 
ed. This  growth  of  the  military 
brought  about  a  second  charac- 
teristic— slaver,'-  Slavery  is  the 
only  thing  which  has  kept  Rus- 
sian Communism  from  collaps- 
ing as  it  did  in  the  early  '20's.  It 
has  been  estimated  that  during 
the  '30's,  there  were  as  many  as 
eighteen  million  slave  laborers  in 
Russia. 

The  third  characteristic  ol  Rus- 
sia from  1928-45  is  that  of  war. 
German  aggression  has  been  the 
only  real  threat  to  the  continu- 
ance of  Russian  Communism;  and 
had  it  not  been  for  the  industrial 
might  of  the  United  States, 
which  supplied  Russia  with  bil- 
lions of  dollars'  worth  free  war 
goods,  the  "great  experiment" 
would  have  met  a  sudden  death. 
But  as  it  happened,  she  managed 
to  survive  World  War  II  and  to 
come  out  of  it  as  one  of  the  groat 
world  powers. 

The  fourth,  and  by  far  the  most 
important,  period  of  Russian 
Communism  includes  the  years 
from  1945  to  the  present.  It  is 
during  these  years  that  the  af- 
fairs of  the  United  States  and 
Russia  become  so  entwined  that 
an  Assistant  Secretary'  of  the 
Treasury  is  found  to  be  a  Rus- 
sian spy!  This  will  be  the  sub- 
ject of  next  month's  article. 


Chatter  From 


Cheek 


By  BARBARA  WILLIAMS 

This  literar>'  endeavor  is  writ- 
ten to  prove,  beyond  the  shadow 
of  a  doubt,  that  there  is  never  a 
dull  moment  at  Cheek  Hall. 

Saturday,  November  21,  Marga- 
ret Butler.  Carol  Hamilton  and 
Barbara  Williams  decided  to  pop 
com  in  Mrs.  Nice's  kitchen.  With 
the  help  of  Pat  Lindsey  and  Anne 
Robinson,  the  party  was  soon 
under  way.  Later  in  the  evening 
the  girls  entertained  such  digni- 
taries as  Jim  Kohls.  Scott  Lewis, 
Dave  Crandall  and  Dick  Bevan 
and.  last,  but  not  least,  Marilyn 
Smith  and  Jerry  Wagner.  A  good 
time  was  had  by  all. 

Tuesday,  November  24.  six 
girls  gave  a  surprise  birthday 
party  for  Carol  Hamilton  with 
cokes,  presents,  and  all  the  trim- 
mings. 

On  Wednesday,  several  of  the 
Cheek  girls  set  out  for  home. 
June  Tapp  went  to  Erwin,  Anne 
Miller  to  Harriman,  Jane  Carpen- 
ter to  Hayscde,  Virginia,  and 
Alice  Jermyn  went  home  with 
Prankie  Simcox  to  Mountain 
City. 

Wednesday  night  six  girls  spent 
a  quiet  evening  (after  the  lights 
came  back  on)  tearing  up  beds, 
hiding  bedding,  and  UTiting  notes 
to  those  who  dared  to  sleep. 

Thanlcsgiving  dawned   and  the 

Cheek    Yankees   crawled    out    of 

their  warm  (?)  beds  and  went  to 

view  the  snow.  The  telephone  was

Debate  Teams 
Make  A  Good 
Showing  At  Boone 

By  JOHNNY  BYRD 

MilHgan  was  represented  by 
four  debaters  at  the  13th  Annual 
Appalachian  Mountain  Forensics 
Tournament  at  Appalachian  State 
College.  Boone,  N.  C.  Dec.  3,  4, 
and  5.  Other  colleges  participat- 
ing, were:  Maryville.  Lenoir- 
Rhyne.  East  Tennessee  State. 
Mars  Hill,  Carson-Newman,  and 
Appalachian  State. 

Accompanied  by  Miss  Lucy 
Price,  the  debate  teams  consisted 
of  Jim  Hamilton  and  Johnny 
Byrd.  first  and  second  affirmative 
speakers,  and  Randy  Osborne  and 
Jim  Hawes,  first  and  second 
speakers    for    the    negative    side. 

The  question  for  debate  was. 
"Resolved:  That  the  United  States 
Should  Adopt  a  Policy  of  Free 
Trade."  The  affirmative  team 
were  in  six  debates,  while  the 
negative  team  participated  in 
seven.  The  results  of  these  thir- 
teen debates  are  very  encourag- 
ing, considering  the  fact  that 
Hamilton  and  Osborne  had  never 
been  in  a  debate  before  two  weeks 
ago.  The  affirmative  side  won 
four  out  of  six  and  the  negative 
four  out  of  seven,  for  a  total  of 
eight  wins  and  five  losses.  Since 
this  was  only  a  practice  tourna- 
ment for  the  "big  ones"  which 
will  take  place  in  March  and 
April,  it  is  evident  that  with  a 
little  more  experience,  the  two 
teams  could  develop  into  formid- 
able contenders  against  the  col- 
leges of  this  area. 

In  addition  to  debating,  seven 
other  speaking  contests  of  various 
types  were  held,  each  with  divi- 
sions for  women  and  men.  Hawes 
and  Byrd  entered  extemporan- 
eous speaking  with  the  latter 
taking  third  place,  Byrd  also  won 
first  honors  in  oration. 

The  tournament  was  greatly 
enjoyed  by  the  entire  group.  The 
two  veterans  renewed  many  ac- 
quaintances, while  the  two  "rook- 
ies" made  new  acquaintances 
among  those  "hot-air"  throwing, 
arm-waving  individuals  who  call 
themselves  debaters. 

Besides  the  forensic  contests, 
there  were  other  interesting  ac- 
tivities. Thursday  night  there  was 
a  concert  given  by  the  Davidson 
(N.C.)  College  band.  This  is 
known  as  one  of  the  finest  small 
college  bands  in  America  and. 
from  the  quality  of  its  music,  this 
is  undoubtedly  true.  Appearing 
with  the  band,  as  soloist,  was 
Sigurd  Rascher.  a  Swedish  saxo- 
phonist, who  has  played  with 
such  orchestras  as  the  London 
Philharmonic. 

On  Friday  night,  a  banquet  was 
held  for  all  the  visiting  colleges. 
Besides  the  good  food,  we  had 
the  opportunity  to  enjoy  the  af- 
ter-dinner speaking  contests. 

There  arc  two  interesting  things 
which  should  be  noted.  The  two 
teams  from  Milligan  debated  Ap- 
palachian five  times  and  were 
victorious  in  four  of  those  con- 
tests. Between  this — losing  four 
out  of  five  debates — and  losing 
two  basketball  games,  all  in  three 
days.  Appalachian  was  getting 
tired  of  ^^I^igan.  You  can't  blame 
them. 

Another  interesting  fact  is  that 
Milligan  debated  East  Tennessee 
Slate  twice  and  won  both  con- 
tests. Is  this  an  indication  of 
what  might  happen  in  a  more 
popular  competitive  activitj-  later 
this  winter?  Wc  hope  so.  The 
debaters  have  done  it,  so  Buffa- 
loes, you  do  it!

THE    STAMPEDE 


PAGE  THREE 


FoiiTider^s   Day   Banquet   Brings 
Memories  To  Old  Grads    .... 


Milligan  College  was  the  scene 
of  the  third  annual  celebration 
of  Founder's  Dav  on  Saturday, 
November  28.  1953.  Open  House 
was  held  in  the  dormitories  and 
the  administration  building.  This 
was  followed  by  a  reception  in 
Hardin   Hall. 

The  big  event  was  that  night 
when  a  banquet  was  held  in 
Cheek  Hall,  President  Walker 
presided  over  the  evening's  ac- 
tivities. Many  alumni  and  guests 
were  present.  Mr.  E.  E,  Hawkins, 
a  Milligan  graduate  and  retired 
teacher,  gave  the  main  address. 
He  had  lived  with  the  founder  of 
Milligan  College.  Josephus  Hop- 
wood  and  his  wife,  Sara  LaRue 
Hopwood.  He  related  some  of  his 
experiences  as  well  as  Professor 
Hopwood's  ideal  of  education. 

During  the  banquet,  selection 
was  mode  of  the  Founder's 
Daughter  of  1953.  Miss  Kitty 
Wert  was  chosen.  A  junior  from 
Lock  Haven.  Pennsylvania,  this 
registered  nurse  was  the  candi- 
date of  the  Pre-Med  Club.  Other 
candidates  were  Katie  Colbert — 
Milligan  College  Players;  Suzy 
Ellis — Commerce  Club;  Sara 
Zacharias— Phi  Eta  Tau;  Sue 
Jackson— F.  T.  A.;  Betty  Mise— 
"M"  Club  and  Physical  Education 
Club;  and  Nancy  Gehrum — Chris- 
tian Service  Club. 


Milligan  College  is  learning 
more  and  more  about  its  founder- 
In  the  library  is  a  copy  of  one  of 
Milligan's  early  school  newspa- 
pers dated  September.  1892.  It 
was  called  The  Light  or  The 
Milligan  Light.  Mr.  James  B.  Ly- 
ons of  Bristol  sent  us  this  paper. 
It  was  his  uncle.  Rev.  W  G.  Bar- 
ker, who  began  Buffalo  Institute 
in  old  Buffalo  Church  in  1868. 
Mr,  Lyons  enrolled  in  the  college 
in  1875  when  Dr.  and  Mrs.  Hop- 
wood  came  to  Buffalo.  Five  years 
later  plans  were  made  for  an  ad- 
ditional story  to  their  two-story 
building.  Upon  the  day  of  dedi- 
cation of  the  corner  stone,  Dr. 
Hopwood  made  the  statement 
that  named  Milligan  College.  He 
was  heard  to  say.  "Henceforth 
this  institution  will  be  known  as 
Milligan  College." 

Mr,  Lyons  was  able  to  tell  us 
something  about  our  evening 
speaker.  He  remembered  Mr. 
Hawkins's  coming  to  this  section 
from  North  Carolina,  We  can 
readily  see  why  Dr.  Hopwood 
chose  him  to  live  with  the  Hop- 
woods  and  to  go  to  school  when 
we  know  that  he  had  a  Christian 
background  and  possessed  those 
qualities  for  which  Dr.  Hopwood 
was  looking.  Dr.  Hopwood  did  not 
just  pick  any  boy  at  random  but 
one  who  could  fulfill  his  am- 
bitions. 


STATE  OF  THE  UNION 


Miss  Mary  Keefauver  "has  giv- 
en the  first  generous  contribution 
towards  the  heating  system." 
states  Sam  J.  Hyder,  faculty  ad- 
visor of  the  Student  Union  Build- 
ing program.  He  added  an  addi- 
tional word,  saying  that  "we  ex- 
pect to  place  an  order  for  the 
heating  system  within  the  next 
ten  days." 

The  modem  florescent  lighting 
system  has  been  installed  and  is 
in  operating  order,  excepting  the 
downstairs  meeting  room.  Those 
installations  will  be  finished  dur- 
ing the  next  several,  days. 

Work  is  now  in  progress  on  the 
sanding  and  polishing  of  the 
hardwood  floors  and.  also,  on  the 
completion  of  the  flooring  and 
walls  of  the  kitchen  interior. 

The  downstairs  section  will  in- 
clude rostroom  and  laundering  ac- 
commodations. The  partitions  for 
these  facilities  will  be  completed 
this  month. 

Among  those  who  have  finan- 
iially  aided   the   Union   Building 


since  the  last  report.  November 
20.  are  Mr.  and  Mrs.  A  R,  Mor- 
gan, Thomas  B.  Fowler,  Harry 
Smith,  and  Mr.  and  Mrs,  Lyle  De- 
Witt^ach  having  given  ten  dol- 
lars. 

Persons  who  donated  five  dol- 
lars each  are  Chastine  Kirby.  O, 
F.  Kilborne.  Annie  and  Mabel 
Anderson.  Mrs.  Hiram"M.  Frakes. 
Emory  G.  Johnson.  Lawrence  G, 
Derthick.  Mabel  Lacy  Hall.  Miss 
Audrey  P.  Quillin,  and  J.  Norton 
Arney, 

The  Kentuckiana  Chapter  of 
the  Milligan  Alumni  Association 
contributed  twenty-five  dollars 
and  the  same  amount  was  given 
by  H,  C  Price,  Fifteen  dollars 
was  contributed  by  Dr.  Nicholas 
C-  Cavallaro, 

Milligan  students  are  proud  of 
their  student  activities  building 
and  are  grateful  to  alumni  and 
other  interested  people  who  are 
playing  such  a  big  part  in  ready- 
ing the  Union  facilities  for  utili- 
zation. 


Pardee  Palaver 

By  JIM  FOX 

What  Do  The  Boys  In  Pardee 
mean  when  they  say,  "Yea, 
Leach"?  Well,  in  case  you  don't 
know,  our  boy  "Leach"  is  none 
other  than  Ron  Sowers,  If  you 
look  in  the  parlors  at  the  Xmas 
Lrees,  just  remember  it's  not  San- 
ta Claus  any  more,  it's  "Leachy 
Claus." 

Thursday  night  after  the  ball 
game  with  Tusculum  is  the  time. 
Up  in  Room  201.  old  "Leachy 
Claus"  will  come  sliding  down 
the  radiator  pipe.  There  is  a 
great  party  in  store,  with  all  the 
Irimmings,  including  refresh- 
ments and  gifts  for  everyone. 

Just  about  everything  has 
"leach"  in  it.  So  we  think  it 
ivould  be  proper  to  say  we  hope 
you  have  a  "Leachy  Xmas."  By 
the  way,  as  a  Xmas  present  for 
names  in  the  paper,  here  they 
ire:  "Mole"  Hill.  "Nose"  Worrell, 
"Tinkie"  Craig,  "Ears"  Fox.  "Kid" 
Saslin,     "Kozar"     Hand,     "Doc" 


Hanes.  "Jazz"  Thomas.  "Bucket" 
Burgelt.  "Moocho"  Barton,  "High- 
pockets"  Barton,  "War  Daddy" 
Davis,  "Hot  Lips"  Fairchild, 
"Heckle"  Roush.  "Cat  Man"  Wil- 
hoit.  and.  of  course.  "Yea  Leach." 


Chatter  From  Cheek  Hall 

(Continued  From  Pag©  Two) 
kept  busy  by  long  distance  calls 
to  Carol  Hamilton,  Marilyn  Smith, 
Pat  Lindsey,  and  Barbara  Will- 
iams, That  evening,  after  an  af- 
ternon  in  Johnson  City,  several 
of  the  girls  gathered  in  Anne 
Robinson's  room  to  eat  their  sack 
lunches  and  try  to  cure  the  cases 
of  homesickness. 

Founder's  Day  found  the  girls 
beaming  with  pride  on  their 
shining  rooms.  However,  their 
pride  was  slightly  hurt  when  one 
of  the  Men  of  Pardee  went 
through  the  rooms  with  a  white 
handkerchief  uncovering  hidden 
dust.  In  the  voting,  the  room  of 
Alice  Jermyn  and  Frankic  Sim- 
cox  won  first  place  as  the  best 
room. 

Among    the   visitors   at    Cheek 


By  KATIE  COLBERT 

Saturday.  November  28th  was 
mdeed  a  busy  day  here  at  Milli- 
gan College  All  day  graduates 
kept  flocking  in,  Jean  Fritts.  Red 
Lyons,  Amon  McSwords,  Tom 
Hawks,  Louise  Spurgin,  Betts 
Still,  Kitty  Irwin.  Dotty  Dixon, 
Janet  Catlett,  Leo  Ernst.  Harriet 
and  Bob  VanLew,  Joe  Suther- 
land, and  others  1  can't  remem- 
ber. We  had  several  visitors  on 
campus  for  the  event  other  than 
alumni.  Several  from  Canton — 
Carabelle  White.  Doug  Crowder. 
Carole  Wickes'  mother,  and 
grandparents.  The  banquet  went 
off  real  well  and  our  congratula- 
tions go  to  MISS  KITTY  WERT. 

Jimmy  Buckles  spent  t  h  e 
Thanksgiving  holidays  in  Knox- 
ville. 

Then  came  the  first  of  Decem- 
ber finding  everyone  trying  to 
get  that  term  paper  done  before 
Christmas  vacation.  There  are 
not  many  days  left  now  and  still 
no  term  paper  for  most  of  us. 

Monday  night  there  was  a 
practice  basketball  game  and  our 
boys  really  did  look  good.  We 
won,    of   course! 

It  was  Tuesday,  I  believe,  that 
the  organ's  motor  gave  away.  It 
seems  there  is  always  something, 
Mac  got  right  to  work  on  it, 
though,  and  it  was  ready  for  the 
organ   recital. 

Wednesday  night  our  basketball 
team  went  to  Appalachian  State 
for  our  first  game  of  the  season. 
From  all  we  hear  it  was  a  good 
game  with  a  final  score  of  88-64. 
The  bell  sounded  off  about  11 
p.  m.  that  night- 

In  preparation  for  the  game  we 
had  a  Pep  Rally  at  10  o'clock 
that  morning  with  Doc  Hawes  in 
charge.  We  had  a  list  of  yells  with 
our  cheerleaders  in  charge.  Then 
there  was,  "What's  the  good 
word?"  sounding  off  several 
times.  The  Pep  band  with  Miss 
Weimer  at  the  piano  went  wild. 
After  several  yells  the  Pep  Band 
wound  up  the  session  with  the 
Alma  Mater, 

Also  on  Wednesday  night  the 
Commerce  Club  had  their  Christ- 
mas party  in  Hardin.  They  sang 
Christmas  carols,  Pat  Masters 
sang  "White  Christmas"  and 
"Blue  Christmas"  and  Carole 
Wickes  did  a  beautiful  chalk 
drawing.  Jimmy  Buckles  really 
went  all  out  for  refreshments — 
there  was  punch,  ice  cream,  cake, 
peanuts,  sandwiches  and  mints. 
Mr.  and  Mrs.  Price  and  Miss  Tur- 
beville  were  the  sponsors  pres- 
sent,  Mrs,  Nice  gave  the  Christ- 
mas story. 

Friday  in  the  regular  chapel 
period  the  freshman  class  had  a 
talent  show  for  Calvin  Dougher- 
ty. Marvin  Sweeney  was  the 
M.  C.  of  the  program.  Don  Miller, 
the  little  boy  with  o  great  voice, 
did  an  excellent  job  of  "Ole  Man 
River."  The  Harmonicats  almost 
stole  the  show  with  their  soloist, 
Owen  Crouch's  presentation  of 
"Turkey  In  The  Straw."  The  au- 
dience was  overwhelmed,  so 
Crouch  and  Fairbanks  did  a  duet 

Hall  for  Founder's  Day  were  Bar- 
bara Hay's  mother  from  Steuben- 
villo,  Ohio,  our  own  Mary  Perry, 
'51.  and  an  acquaintance  (?)  of 
June  Tapp's  named  George. 

These  are  just  a  few  examples 
of  the  fun  and  fellowship  that 
take  place  at  Cheek  Hall.  All  the 
girls  think  it's  really  terrific  and 
we  all  have  a  wonderful  time. 
Now  this  windy  character  has 
run  out  of  things  to  say  except  to 
bring  everyone  22  warm,  heart- 
felt wishes  for  a  Merry  Christmas 
and  a  Happy  New  Year  from  the 
girls  of  Check  Hall! 


that  brought  down  the  house.  Dr. 
Crouch  declared  afterward  that 
it  took  more  out  of  him  to  play 
for  two  minutes  than  to  preach 
for  35.  "Tex"  Williams  afipear- 
ed  m  "Grand  Ole  Opery"  style 
doing  a  popular  hill-billy  classic. 
He  plucked  out  "Chattanooga 
Shoe-Shine  Boy"  in  royal  fashion 
as  an  encore.  Then  a  freshman 
quartette,  plus  Bill  Hall,  sang  a 
Negro  spiritual  Sophie  Myers 
finished  up  the  program  with  "An 
American  in  Paris."  Jack  Lem- 
bach,  president  of  the  freshmen 
class  then  told  of  the  purpose  of 
the  program.  Quoting  from  the 
letter  that  he  read  that  is  sent 
out  to  schools  and  churches,  he 
read:  "We,  the  freshman  class, 
consider  it  an  honor  and  privil- 
ege to  start  a  Calvm  C.  Dougher- 
ty Memorial  in  memory  of  our 
beloved  classmate  who  so  inspir- 
ed us  with  his  smiling  courage 
before  passing  on.  The  memorial 
will  be  in  the  form  of  improved 
library  facilities.  The  funds  are 
being  raised  by  the  freshmen 
through  soliciting  from  churches, 
and  from  clubs,  business  men, 
anr  friends."  Signed.  Jack  C. 
Leinbach  and  Owen  L.  Crouch, 
sponsor  of  the  freshmen  class. 
After  a  free-will  offering  was 
taken,  the  assembly  sang  the 
Alma  Mater, 

Friday  night  was  our  first  home 
game!  About  six.  the  cheerlead- 
er started  rounding  up  the  kids 
to  start  the  snake  dance  and  bon- 
fire The  snake  dance  started  at 
Hardin,  picking  up  a  few  at 
Cheek  and  going  on  through  Par- 
dee and  ending  at  the  bonfire  in 
front  of  the  store.  The  Pep  band 
was  there  and  furnished  the  mu- 
sic (?)?  for  the  "Dragnet"  yell. 
The  Pep  club  then  formed  the 
"Bunny  Hop"  line  and  hopped 
around  for  a  while  with  "Fight, 
fight,  fight."  thrown  in.  After 
this,  they  dismissed  to  go  to  the 
game  It  was  certainly  evident  in 
the  first  quarter  that  Appala- 
chain  State  was  ready  for  us  but 
we  showed  'em.  We  had  a  good 
cheering  section  and  our  cheer- 
leaders 3id  a  swell  job.  The  Pep 
band  played  at  half-time  their 
famous  "Hucklebuck."  We  beat 
'em. 

There  was  supposed  to  be  a 
Christmas  tree  up  in  Hardin  by 
Saturday  night  but  there  was 
some  difficulty  in  getting  the 
tree  and  great  difficulty  in  get- 
ting the  decorations  so  that  was 
delayed  until  Monday  afternoon. 

Several  of  the  students  went  to 
the  game  ^  at  Concord  Saturday 
night,  George  Davis,  Marge  San- 
ders, and  Dr.  Crouch  took  cars.  It 
was  a  good  game  for  Concord  but 
somewhere  along  the  way  we  lost 
out.  Better  luck  is  just  around 
the  corner. 

Finally  the  organ  was  ready, 
the  decorations  ready,  and  Miss 
Weimer  was  ready,  and  at  4  p.m. 
on  Sunday.  December  6,  the 
organ  recital  began.  Miss  Ona 
Weimer  played  three  groups  of 
Christmas  selections.  Included  in 
these  were:  "Savior  of  the  Heath- 
en. Come,"  "O  Thou.  Of  God  the 
Father."  'The  Journey  to  Beth- 
lehem," and  as  a  finale.  "Fan- 
tasia On  Veni  Emmanuel."  About 
150  attended  the  concert. 


Christma.s  Party 
Of  Commerce  Club 
Big  Success 

The  Commerce  Club  opened  its 
social  season  Thursday  evening. 
December  3.  at  7:30  p.m..  in  the 
parlors  of  Hardin  Hall,  with  its 
annual    Christmas    party. 

The  party  got  underway  with 
Diane  Walker,  chairman  of  the 
Social  Committee,  presiding.  The 
group  joined  in  singing  Christ- 
mas carols,  with  Katie  Colbert 
and  her  accordion.  Patsy  Masters 
accompanied  by  Suzy  Ellis,  sang 
two  vocal  solos.  "White  Christ- 
mas" and  "Blue  Christmas." 

With  the  lights  low  and  plenty 
of  recorded  Christmas  music. 
Carol  Wickes  did  a  very  beauti- 
ful chalk  drawing.  Mrs.  Nice  end- 
ed the  entertainment  with  a  very 
inspiring  Christmas  story. 

Refreshments,  carrying  out  the 
Christmas  theme  in  decorations, 
consisted  of  open-faced  sand- 
wiches, punch,  cake,  ice-  cream, 
mints  and  nuts,  were  served  to 
approximately  25  members  and 
guests  of  the  club,  and  the  spon- 
sor. Mr,  Eugene  Price  and  Mrs. 
Price, 


ENCOREI 

A  hillbilly  and  his  bride  went 
to  New  York  for  their  honeymoon 
and  bought  tickets  for  one  of  the 
Broadway  plavs.  At  the  end  of 
the  first  act,  the  hillbilly  pre- 
sented himself  at  the  box  office 
and  paid  $1.40  extra  to  have  his 
scats  changed  from  the  balcony 
to  the  orchestra  floor.  Ten  min- 
utes after  the  second  act  started, 
he  was  back  at  the  box  office. 

"Give  me  our  money  back," 
he  demanded.  "That's  the  same 
bum  show  that's  playing  up- 
stairs." 


Christmas  Pageant 
To  Be  Colorful 

And  Inspiring 

By  JAY    COOPER 

The  pageant  which  you  will 
see  tonight  in  the  college  audi- 
torium represents  an  end  to  an 
accomplishment  that  was  brought 
about  only  through  long  and 
hard,  but  self-satisfying  hours  of 
rehearsal.  Miss  White  is  to  be 
complimented  in  this,  the  fourth 
year  of  this  presentation.  This 
drama  is  one  of  the  most  out- 
standing programs  of  the  school 
year.  It  has  become  more  elabo- 
rate and  beautiful  through  the 
years  and  serves  as  a  high  point 
of  inspiration  to  those  of  us  who 
witness  it  as  we  tr>'  to  capture 
again  the  events  of  the  Nativity. 

The  choir  will  provide  a  thema- 
tic musical  background  of  fami- 
liar Christmas  songs  throughout 
the  pageant.  This  is  not  only  a 
project  of  the  music  department 
and  the  choir.  Much  acknowl- 
edgement and  thanks  must  be 
given  to  the  members  of  the  stu- 
dent body  who  are  in  the  play 
and  also  those  who  are  respon- 
sible for  the  stagework. 

This  has  been  our  main  ob- 
jective in  this  Christmas  season 
but  we  have  had  other  obliga- 
tions also.  For  instance,  the  choir 
made  its  debut  at  the  banquet  on 
Founder's  Day.  An  extra  heavy 
schedule  prevented  us  from  mak- 
ing another  TV  appearance  be- 
fore Christmas,  but  on  Decem- 
ber 9  we  did  present  a  concert  at 
Mountain  Home.  Among  the 
lighter  numbers  which  wc  per- 
formed were  "Winter  Wonder- 
land," "Twns  the  Night  Before 
Christmas."  and  Miss  Wcimer's 
own  arrangement  of  "Jingle 
Bells."  which,  by  the  way.  takes 
us  to  South  Amcrcia,  Vienna,  ond 
to  the  days  of  the  gay  nineties, 
in  a  one-horse  open  sleigh. 

I  guess  that's  the  Milligan  Col- 
lege Choir  for  1953.  We  hope  you  " 
enjoy  listening  to  us  as  much  as 
we  enjoy  singing.  Our  oim  for 
1954  —  to  do  bigger  and  better 
things  in  the  choir. 

And  now.  from  the  Milligan 
College  Choir,  to  the  students, 
faculty,  alumni,  and  friends  — 
Best  wishes  for  a  Happy  Holiday.

WHAT  GOES  ON  HERE? 

By  KATIE  COLBERT 
Everyone  came  back  after  vacation  Christmas  with  full  stomachs 
and  energy  enough  to  last  until  Spring  Vacation.  About  the  first 
big  thing  that  happened  after  we  all  got  back  was  the  St.  Louis 
Symphony  Orchestra  out  at  Stale  College.  There  was  a  large  group 
from  Milligan  and  everyone  thought  they  were  wonderful.  The 
"     ■"' ' '  time   they    played   jazz,   Joe   Hill 

woke  up  and  listened  the  rest  of 
the  time  for  fear  he  would  miss 
something.     After    it    was    over, 
John  W.  Neth.  Jr.,  Librarian  of    everyone  went  to  the  Dixie  and 
the  girls  were  a  little  later  than 
10:30  but  just  five  minutes  or  so.

tive and  colorful  occasion  on  May

Mrs.  Fred  Snodgrass  of  Elizabeth- 
ton  and  Mr.  Leonard  Gallimore,

tively. This  year's  celebrities

include:  Seniors,  Eileen  Suther- 
land of  Greeneville,  Tennessee;

Indications  are  that  this  year's

sen theme  which  will  be  announc- 
ed later,  will  prove  to  be  a  gala 
occasion  for  everj-one. 


Pardee  Hall  Has 

Neiv  Furniture 

By   DICK  BARTON 

George  Walker,  from  Canton. 
Ohio,  solicited  $500  to  be  used 
for  furnishing  the  parlors  of  Par- 
dee HalL  Mr.  Walker  is  the  father 
of  Diane  Walker,  a  student  at 
Milligan, 

President  Deafi  Walker  asked 
the  men's  dormitory  council  to 
decide  what  was  needed  most 
urgently  and  it  was  decided  that 
the  money  shuld  be  spent  to  buy 
tables  and  lamps. 

A  committee  was  appointed  and 
on  Saturday.  January  23,  Pete 
Miller,  Marvin  Sweeny  and  Ma* 
moru  Ishikawa  along  with  Mrs. 
Duard  Walker  and  Mrs.  Dean 
Walker  went  to  Johnson  City  and 
purchased  the  desired  lamps  and 
tables  from  Siler's  Furniture 
Store. 

Some  of  the  furniture  was  de- 
livered consisting  of  three  blonde 
finished  end-tables  and  three 
wrought  iron  lamps.  This  furni- 
ture is  to  be  on  trial  for  the  ap- 
proval of  the  dormitory  residents. 

The  other  furnishings  will  be 
delivered  soon,  including  three 
more  end-tables,  some  lamps  and 
a  wrought  iron  chandelier  for 
each  of  the  two  parlors. 

This  furniture  is  very  beauti- 
ful and  very  much  appreciated  by 
the  Men  of  Pardee.  We  consider 
it  not  only  "just  another  service 
rendered  to  the  Men  of  Pardee," 
but  also  a  blessing  because  it  can 
serve  as  a  quiet  study  hall  with- 
out benefit  of  "overhead  music." 


By  RICHARD  RANDALL 

The  Student  Union  building  is 
now  finished,  both  as  to  the  ex- 
terior and  interior  surfaces:  also 
the  lighting  and  heating  systems 
are  in  operation.  But  furnishings 
such  as  kitchen  appliances  and 
the  tables  and  chairs  are  yet  lack- 
ing; only  one  table-and-chairs' 
outfit  is  now  on  the  premises. 

This  project  was  launched  on  a 
pay-as-you-go  basis  and,  continu- 
ing to  use  that  policy,  progress  to- 
wards utilization  of  the  building 
follows  a  system  which  is  basic- 
ally sound.  The  Milligan  College 
administration  has  financed  the 
project  to  the  extent  of  more 
than  three  thousand  dollars  and 
countless  individuals  and  off- 
campus  groups  have  heavily  con- 
tributed toward  the  erection  of 
this  much  needed  structure. 

President  Walker  guesses  that 
"we  may  begin  operations  in  the 
building  sometime  in  March."  He 
believes  that,  "if  we  had  at  least 
two  thousand  dollars  in  sight,  we 
could  complete  the  job." 

Appliances  will  cost  about  fif- 
teen hundred  dollars  and  the 
cost  of  the  remainder  of  the  table 
ad  chairs'  combination  will  slight- 
ly  exceed  a  thousands  dollars.

JSew  Chapel  System, 
Is  Incaigurated 

A  new  series  of  Chapel  Pro- 
grams has  been  inaugurated  at 
Milligan  College  and  although  it 
follows  along  the  religious  theme 
of  the  half-hour  periods  it  does  so 
now  in  a  more  religious  manner 
as  it  simulates  a  church  service. 
The  program  is  now  more  organ- 
ized and  is  more  inspiring  than 
it  has  been  in  the  past.  It  is  the 
idea  of  Owen  Crouch,  who 
thought  that  a  more  religious 
manner  should  be  attained  so 
that  the  students  and  faculty 
would  appreciate  the  half-hour 
periods  more. 

Following  is  a  typical  chapel 
program:

Chaplain   Leicis 
Establishes  Practical         > 
Preaching-Clinic 

The  Sunday  evening  church 
ser\'ice  at  the  Jonesboro  Chris- 
tian Church  has  been  so  organiz- 
ed under  the  direction  of  Profes- 
sor Lewis,  who^  is  the  minister,  as 
to  afford  opportunity  for  minis- 
terial students  of  Milligan  to  have 
actual  practice   in  preaching. 

A  different  young  ministerial 
student  preaches  each  Sunday 
evening.  Jerry  Wagner,  the  as- 
sistant minister,  has  charge  of  the 
music. 

The  church  is  enjoying  this 
plan,  as  they  get  an  opportunity 
to  hear  Milligan  ministerial  stu- 
dents. Recently  the  following 
have  preached:  John  Worrell. 
Glenn  Barton.  Bill  Thomas.  Dick 
Carpenter,  and  Lawrence  Kepler. 

The  Milligan  Girls"  Trio.  Don 
Miller,  and  Margaret  Butler  have 
recently  furnished  special  music. 
The  Jonesboro  church  is  also 
helping  with  the  expenses  of  an>* 
of  their  young  people  who  may 
attend  Milligan.

please  take  notice. 

First  of  all  we  want  to  know  WHY  the  Student  Union 
project  has  come  to  a  standstill  again?  You  will  probably 
say,  "why  don't  ou  find  out  yourself?",  but  the  fact  is  we 
just  don't  have  time  to  go  around  chasing  rainbows.  This 
project  has  been  extended  over  a  period  of  four  years  and 
it  looks  like  il  might  go  another  one  or  two  years.  We 
want  to  know  why  something  isn't  being  done  and  why 
it  can't  be  done?  Why  isn't  someone  appointed  to  look 
into  this  project  and  make  an  oral  or  written  report  to 
the  school  so  as  to  satisfy  our  curiosity?  WHY? 

Secondly,  WHY  is  there  so  much  controversy  over  the 
dining  hall,  a  lot  of  gripes,  accusations  on  both  sides, 
bad  feelings,  and  nothing  done  about  it?  Is  this  issue  like 
the  weather?  WHY  isn't  someone  appointed  to  look  into 
this  and  make  an  oral  or  written  report  to  the  school? 
Why  isn't  something  done?  Why  hasn't  something  been 
done?  What  is  being  done  now?  Why  are  we  subject  to 
blame?   WHY? 

Third,  WHY  is  the  chapel  problem  just  a  lot  of  gripes 
and  no  action?  Why  are  we  subjected  to  boring  speakers 
and  no  deviation  from  the  schedule?  To  be  religious  is 
fine  we  agree,  but  couldn't  we  laugh  once  in  awhile, 
couldn't  we  enjoy  ourselves  or  do  we — the  students — fail 
to  recognize  the  importance  or  purpose  of  these  chapel 
programs?  Do  we  have  no  basis  to  complain?  Are  we  to 
be  the  recipients  of  everything  the  faculty  or  administra- 
tions dreams  up — bad  or  good?  Have  we  no  voice  (What 
about  htis  President  Bill  Thomas  of  the  Student  Council?) 
Why  has  no  one  looked  into  the  pro  and  cons  of  this  sub- 
ject? Why  has  no  one  explained  to  us  the  importance  of 
this  or  the  reason  for  not  having  ony  other  kind  of  pro- 
gram? WHY? 

Are  there  any  answers  to  these  questions?  Who  will 
answer  them?  If  anyone  desires  to  answer  these  ques- 
tions in  a  written  report,  space  in  the  STAMPEDE  is 
open  to  them.   Why  won't  someone  answer?   WHY?

The   Chapel    '''Problern^^ 


I  think  it  can  be  safely  said  that  there  is  a  chapel 
"problem"  when  many  of  the  students  consider  the  two 
half-hour  programs  each  week  a  complete  waste  of  time, 
Personally,  that  is  not  my  opinion;  but  the  opinion  of  the 
majority  of  the  students  should  be  considered. 

It  is  realized  that  a  program  could  not  be  designed  to 
please  everyone.  But  a  compromise  might  be  worked  out 
by  having  outside  speakers  bring  a  talk,  with  emphasis 
on  religion,  only  one  day  a  week;  the  other  day  would 
bring  faculty  members,  students,  and  others,  with  talks 
which  might  or  might  not  be  of  a  religious  nature. 

This  is  merely  a  suggestion.  If  the  students  feel  that 
the  present  programs  should  be  improved,  they  should 
voice  their  opinions.  I  would  like  to  make  it  clear  that 
I  om  not  passing  judgment  on  the  chapel  programs;  but 
I  do  believe  that  this  principle  should  exist;  the  chapel 
programs,  with  their  wonderful  opportunity  for  fellow- 
ship, should  not  be  such  that  the  students  consider  them  ' 
a  waste  of  time  and  dread  for  10  A.  M.  to  come  on  Tues- 
day and  Thursday. 

If  you  want  a  change,  speak  up!

any  opinion  to  voice.   This  is  a  student  newspaper.

entire  economy  and  the  activities 
of  the  people.  Unlike  Great  Bri- 
tain, in  Russia  the  people  are  vir- 
tual slaves  of  the  all-powerful 
government.  This  system  is  the 
ultimate  in  the  relations  of  the 
government  to  the  economy  and 
the  people  in  it. 

Something  remains  to  be  said 
concerning  the  relationship  be- 
tween these  four  theories  of  gov- 
ernment. History  has  shown  that 
the  trend  is  always  toward  a  more 
powerful  government.  No  democ- 
racy or  government  of  the  people, 
has  lasted  more  than  200  years. 
They  give  way  to  a  government 
over  the  people. 

Up  to  this  point  I  have  only 
given  focts.  Now  I  shall  present 
some  of  my  own  opinions  on  these 
facts.  First.  I  believe  that  a  cen- 
tralized government  is  undesir- 
able, whether  it  is  Socialism  or 
Communism.  All  men  are  created 
with  certain  rights:  life,  liberty, 
the  pursuit  of  happiness.  1  be- 
lieve a  government  can  and  would 
take  away  these  rights  if  it  be- 
came greatly  centralized.

Are   You   An   "Index   To   Others"? 

"One  all-important  factor  in  the  group's  acceptance  or 
rejection  of  an  individual  is  the  extent  to  which  he  con- 
forms to  the  opinions  and  ways  of  the  group.  Fads  be- 
come extremely  important,  and  refusal  to  accept  them 
may  mean  group  exclusion. "• 

From  this  study  of  college  youth  it  seems  that  most 
college  students  dare  not  refuse  the  enticement  of  sign- 
ing-up  for  a  four-year  popularity  insurance  policy.  The 
initial  payment,  of  course,  is  that  the  student  surrender 
his  right  to  be  an  individual;  then  payments  are  made 
by  the  conformity  method.  That  is,  staying  in  line  with 
the  current  vogue  of  opinions,  signature  usage,  dress,  or 
dating. 

This  insurance  seems  to  really  work:  the  policy  of 
conformity-to-social-pressure  is  giving  him  a  lift  in  the 
social  world.

WHAT  GOES  ON  HERE? 


(Continued  From  Page  One) 
you  never  saw  such  long  faces 
as  Betty  Jo,  Kitty,  Sue,  Marilyn 
and  the  score  keeper's  girl,  Nancy 
—those  four  days.  As  for  basket- 
ball, one  might  say  that  we  had 
some  tough  tuck;  but  those  fal- 
lows were  fighting  all  the  time — 
we'U  ail  bet  on  that.  Then  IJie 
fatal  blow.  To  think  .  those  fel- 
lows (at  least  some  of  Ihem) 
wanted  to  eat  more  than  see 
their  girls!  Can  anyone  imagine 
that?  Well,  whether  you  can  or 
not,  it's  true.  No  drastic  out- 
comes because  of  it.  but  there  for 
awhile  it  looked  pretty  bad  for 
some  of  the  fellows.  We  all  hope 
there'll  never  be  another  "night 
of  January  17th"  like  that. 

Happy  Birthday  to  little  Eu- 
gene Price,  Jr.,  who  was  born  on 
January  IS.  And  no  cigars  to 
celebrate  his  arrival.  No  sir.  we 
all  got  the  cutest  little  suckers 
from  Mr.  Price.  Congratulations 
to  the  Prices. 

Oh.  happy  day — Dick  made  the 
big  purchase  and  gave  Eileen  a 
diamond  on  the  I6th  of  January. 
It's  just  beautiful  and  they're  not 
going  to  fight  ever  again.  Con- 
gratulations and  the  best  of  ev- 
erj'thing  to  you. 

The  crowd  was  a  little  bit 
smaller  for  the  Maryville  game 
than  usual,  but  then,  since  it  was 
the  night  before  semesters,  it  was 
understandable.  We  beat  'em  and 
it  was  a  good  game  so  those  who 
weren't  there  just  missed  some- 
thing. 

Then  came  the  three  days  of 
long  faces  and  sleepy  eyelids — 
semesters — and  to  make  thifigs 
even  worse,  we  had  a  game  with 
State  Saturday  and  we  lost. 
We've  got  to  hand  it  to  our  fel- 
lows, 'cause  they  didn't  let  'em 
io  it  without  some  effort. 

No  school  Monday,  and  believe 
me.  everybody  needed  that  day 
3f  rest.  Several  new  students  ar- 
rived on  campus  and  got  all  reg- 
istered and  ready  to  go.  There 
are  five  girls  in  Hardin  and  one 
in  Cheek.  About  four  new  fellows 
tor  Pardee.  Besides  these,  are 
several  new  day  students. 

January  28th.  Mary  Speer  lost 
something  in  the  back  of  her 
Lhroat  and  I  don't  mean  food. 
Her  tonsils,  of  course. 

The  week-end  of  the  29lh.  Joe 
Sutherland  and  Dick  Moore 
brought  two  loads  of  kids  up  from 
Louisville  to  look  over  the  school. 
They  got  to  see  us  lose  to  Austin 
Peay  but  they  didn't  beat  us 
much,  so  they  know  we've  got  a 
good  team  down  here. 

The  first  of  February,  we  had 
J  game  at  Lincoln  Memorial  and 
we  won!  That  cowbell  sounded 
off  four  times  that  night;  the  last 
time  was  about  2  in  the  morning. 
At  least,  they  let  the  girls  know 
Ihat  they  woi;i-  Gee.  thanks,  fel- 
lows. 

Our  game  with  Tusculum  had  a 
little  bit  different  story.  We  had 
1  big  crowd  and  o  good  cheer- 
,ng  section-  It  was  a  terrific  game 
3ut  in  those  last  minutes  we  just 
jot  too  excited.  Bob  Rhea  was 
;ven    rooting    for  Tusculum. 

Kathy  and  Margaret  Sanders 
A'ere  both  in  the  hospital  some- 
;ime  the  first  week  of  February. 
Margaret  got  better  but  Kathy 
A-asn't  so  lucky.  Her  folks  came 
ifter  her  the  last  part  of  the  week 
:o  take  her  home  for  a  rest.  We 
fiope  she'll  be  back  with  us  soon 
ind  feeling  fine  again. 

February  the  6th.  The  wandcr- 
ng  boy  came  home  and  guess 
A'hat?  He  brought  Christine  a 
liamond  ring.  Is  it  pretty?  Just 
;ake  a  look  for  yourself.  Congra- 
Lulations.  We  hear  it's  going  to

Hale's  secretary.

to  all  the  students  and  everyone 
was  disappointed  to  see  him 
leave. 

The  Youth  of  First  Church  m 
Johnson  City  had  charge  of  the 
evening  service  and  Dave  Brady 
was  the  speaker.  He  did  a  fine 
job  and  we  were  certainly  nil 
very  proud  of  him. 

Jean  Munson  accepted  the  posi- 
tion at  Fourth  Church  in  John- 
son City  as  assistant  to  Dr. 
Crouch, 

On  the  8th.  the  Juniors  had  a 
TV  party  down  at  Walkers!  Ev- 
eryone had  a  big  lime  and  especi- 
ally enjoyed  "dum,  dum,  dum, 
dum" — "Dragnet"  to  all  that  don't 
understand, 

On  the  9th.  Carson-Newman 
came  up  for  a  bout  and  we  knock- 
ed them  out.  What  I  mean  to  say 
is  that  we  had  a  basketball  game 
and  won.  What  a  team  they  had! 
The  five  on  the  floor  and  the 
referee,  too.  The  Fellowship  Ban- 
quet was  that  night  and  there 
were  men  all  over  the  place.  Af- 
ter they  had  eaten  supper  they 
all  came  over  to  the  game  What 
a  night  it  was.  After  the  game 
we  really  had  a  bout  and  that  is 
using  the  term  loosely.  The  kids 
on  third  in  Hardin  started  throw- 
ing water  down  on  second,  so 
someone  pulled  the  fuses  from 
the  third.  Third  came  down  in 
what  one  might  call  an  army 
ready  for  attack.  Second  held 
their  ground  and  the  commanding 
officer  from  first  came  up.  It  was 
thought  for  a  while  that  three  or 
four  might  be  put  on  MP  but  it 
all  blew  over,  new  fuses  were 
bought,  and  everyone  spoke  the 
next  day. 

A  little  blue  slip  appeared  on 
the  bulletin  board  the  next  day 
saying.  "A  meeting  of  all  girls  of 
Hardin  today  at  1  o'clock.  MW." 
Everyone  had  their  say  and  the 
meetmg  was  adjourned  and  ev- 
erybody became  friends  again. 

On  the  llth.  we  went  out  to 
State  and  boy,  did  we  ever  play 
ball?  Don't  think  for  a  minute  wc 
don't  have  a  team — we  had  them 
so  scared.  Why,  we  played  better 
ball  all  the  way  around,  but  then 
those  last  few  minutes  we  had  to 
get  all  excited.  Maybe  someday 
we'll  beat  "em. 

The  Sweetheart  Banquet  at 
First  Church  was  not  as  well  sup- 
ported this  year  as  last  by  Milli- 
gan  students,  but  there  were  sev- 
eral there.  The  Pat,  Pat.  Carol 
trio  sang.  There  was  a  religious 
movie  and  a  pantomime. 

Saturday,  February  I 3th,  our 
last  home  game  of  the  season  was 
called  "Phil  Roush  night,"  Right 
before  the  game,  Bill  Thomas,  as 
president  of  the  Student  Council, 
presented  Phil  with  a  beautiful 
identification  bracelet.  Emor>' 
and  Henry  was  our  guest  and  they 
walked  off  with  top  score.  After 
the  game  everyone  went  out  to 
Patrick's  Grill  at  Pan-am.  The 
fellows  had  great  big,  enormous 
steaks.  Gobs  of  people  were  there 
and  seemed  to  have  had  a  great 
big  time. 

The  14th.  Mr.  Neth  preached 
down  at  Hopwood. 

Tuesday,  the  16th,  wc  had  the 
Valentine  Parly  in  the  Gym.  Each 
class  hod  a  skit  and  nil  of  them 
were  cute.  "Oh,  if  wc  only  hud

on  the  cow."  Marilyn  Smith,  El- 
len Sample.  Margaret  Sanders, 
and  Mary  Jane  Kincheloe  were 
chosen  as  campus  beauties.  Miss 
White.  Pal  Masters,  and  Grant 
Layman  sang  solos.  Jerry  Wag- 
ner led  group  singing,  accom- 
panied by  Sophia  on  the  piano. 
She  was  so  nervous — she  had  a 
visitor  for  four  or  five  days.  We 
can't  fail  to  mention  the  decora- 
tions because  they  were  really 
pretty.  Little  hearts  and  cupids 
all  over  the  place  It  really  look- 
ed as  if  it  might  be  St.  Valentine's 
Day  in  spite  of  the  fact  that  it  was 
a  few  days  late. 

On  the  same  night,  Milligan 
started  their  weekly  TV  program 
on  Tuesday  night  at  6:30-6:45,  The 
quartette  sang  on  the  first  pro- 
gram. 

On  the  18th  there  was  a  fenc- 
ing match  here  with  L.  M.  U,  Sue 
Jackson,  Lorenna,  Pat  Reitzel, 
Anne  MacDonald,  Margaret  San- 
ders, all  made  a  good  showing 
but  we  tied  with  them  for  a  score 
of  9  to  9-  Jim  Fox  was  the  referee 
of  the  match  or  whatever  you  call 
that  person  in  fencing. 

On  the  same  day  we  played 
Union  at  the  V,  S.  A.  C.  tourna- 
ment out  at  State.  Its  was  so-o-o 
exciting  and  we  were  just  sure  to 
win  there  for  a  white  but  the 
final  score  ended  up:  Union  64, 
Milligan  60. 

The  19th  was  quite  a  week-end 
around  Milligan,  State  won  the 
tournament  Saturday  night.  Bud 
Gaslin  went  home  to  get  his 
brother  married.  Joe  Hill,  Jim 
Hawes.  Helen  Lewis,  June  Jaynes, 
Betty  Alderman.  Ruthie  Cagle, 
Pat  Masters.  Donnie  Williams. 
Bill  Davis,  and  Shad  Bowling  all 
went  home  for  the  week-end. 
Doug  Crowder  spent  the  week- 
end with  Gorda.  Bob  Rhea  and 
Roger  elites  visited  the  campus 
on  Sunday.  Carolyn  Green 
sprained  her  ankle  and  had  to 
stay  in  bed;  she's  been  hobbling 
around  ever  since,  Barbara  Will- 
iams had  a  week-end  guest,  Ar- 
lene  Seal  has  SCARLET  fever 
and  a  big  red  sign  was  put  on 
her  door.  Sam  and  Sally  have 
scarlatina  and  can't  come  to 
school  for  a  week.  None  of  the 
kids  that  have  Sunday  School 
classes  could  teach  them  because 
they  too  might  have  the  germ, 
Mr.  Neth  preached  at  Hopwood. 

A  petition  was  circulated  on 
the  22nd  about  the  food  in  the 
cafeteria.  Starting  then  THERE 
WILL  BE  ONLY  ONE  TRAY 
PUSHED  THROUGH  BY  EACH 
PERSON,  NO  EXCEPTIONS! 
That  was  the  final  word! 

On  TV  this  week  Pat  Musters. 
Pat  Bishop,  and  Carol  Wurdle 
and  the  Quorleltc  had  a  noon- 
hour  rehearsal.  It  was  real  cule. 
The  Walkers  and  Dean  Oukes 
hove  a  full  house  each  Tuesday. 

The  game  at  Carson-Newman 


really  proved  to  be  quite  interest- 
ing. From  all  the  accounts  it  was 
a  rather  rough  game,  one  might 
say.  It  was  rumored  that  Glen 
got  his  head  bashed  in  and  Al  got 
two  teeth  knocked  out  but  they 
came  back  alive  anyway,  We  won. 
too — 90-91. 

The  fellows  went  on  to  Mary- 
ville from  Carson-Newman  and 
came  home  with  another  win  for 
usT    We're  so  proud  of  them. 

Friday  night,  the  26th,  Milli- 
gan had  a  30-minute  TV  pro- 
gram from  9:30  to  10:00.  The 
quartette  and  sextette  sang  sev- 
eral numbers,  Pat  Masters  and 
Donnie  Miller  sang  solos.  Then 
Pat  Masters,  Barbara  Rice  and 
Susie  Ellis  did  an  old-fashioned 
scene  that  was  real  cute.  Miss 
While  and  Miss  Wiemer  are  real- 
ly doing  a  fine  job. 

A  whole  gang  of  kids  went  to 
the  game  at  Emory  and  Henry 
Saturday  night,  the  27th.  Old 
Tommie  Hawkes  was  there  to  see 
the  game.  We  had  a  pretty  rough 
game  and  had  to  bow  to  them 
with  a  score  of  82-75. 

Mr.  Neth  preached  at  Hopwood 
the  28th, 

Monday.  March  1st.  Girls  start- 
ed screaming  at  7  o'clock  in  the 
morning.  One  would  think  there 
was  six  feet  of  snow  instead  of 
six  inches.  These  rebels  just  don't 
see  snow  much,  so-  they  don't 
know  how  to  act.  The  electricity 
was  off  so  after  first  period 
classes  were  over  school  dismiss- 
ed for  the  day.  Diane  Walker, 
Jackie,  Barbara  Williams,  Bob 
Walther.  Bob  VanBuren,  Gordy, 
and  a  few  others  were  really  hav- 
ing a  time  out  in  front  of  Hardin 
there  for  a  white.  It  wasn't  safe 
to  stick  your  head  out  the  door. 
The  front  window  at  Cheek  got 
broken  but  there  were  no  other 
casualties.  We  had  a  fire  in  the 
fireplace  at  Hardin,  popped  pop- 
corn, and  played  a  new  game — 
flinch. 

Sometime  Monday,  Bill  Mahan 
was  taken  to  Memorial  Hospital 
and  not  released  until  Tuesday 
afternoon.  He's  better  but  he  has 
to  lake  it  easy  for  a  while. 

Monday  morning  before  chapel. 
Jeanette  Brown  fell  on  the  ice  in 
front  of  Hardin  and  fractured  her 
skull.  She  was  taken  inot  Ma- 
morial  Hospital  and  cannot  have 
any  visitors  for  two  weeks;  Let's 
all  send  her  a  card  instead!  Wo 
certainly  hope  you're  back  with 
us  real  soon.  Jcanelte. 

Wc  hear  by  way  of  the  grape- 
vine that  Mr,  Neth  has  been  ap- 
proved by  the  board  nt  Hopwood 
for  the  minister  there. 


Valentine   Party 
Rated    Huge    Success 

The  annual  Valentine  Party  of 
Milligan  College  look  place  on 
February  18.  1954.  It  was  rated  a 
success  by  all  who  attended.  It 
was  a  be,Tutiful  scene  as  it  dipicl- 
ed  a  sidewalk  cafe  with  quartet 
tables  and  a  central  theme  of 
Clouds  with  Silver  hearts  com- 
mg  out  of  them.  This  signified 
the  "Rain  of  Hearts."  Red  and 
while  streamers  and  a  large  red 
heart  with  red  lights  sprinkled 
about  it,  carried  out  the  Sweet- 
heart theme  fully. 

Various  skits  were  presented 
during  the  evening  adding  to  the 
delightful  atmosphere  of  the  oc- 
casion. While  refreshments  were 
served.  Katie  Colbert  and  her  ac- 
cordion students  played  numerous 
selections  for  the  entertainment 
of  the  guests.  By  popular  request, 
Katie  played  several  selections  of 
her  own  in  her  wonderful  style. 

After  refreshments  were  served 
the  selection  of  Sweethearts  of 
Milligan  College  took  place.  Four 
beautiful  girls  were  selected  from 
the  four  classes.  Marilyn  Smith 
was  selected  from  the  Freshman 
Class;  Ellen  Sample  from  the 
Sophomore  Class;  Marge  Sanders 
from  the  Junior  Class;  and  Mary 
Jane  Kincheloe  from  the  Senior 
Class. 

Everyone  thoroughly  enjoyed 
the  party  and  looks  forward  to 
next  year's  party  with  the  beauti- 
ful Sweethearts.

stage — as  they  should — so  as  not 
to  detract   from  the  service.  The 
Chapel    Choir    is    another    factor 
that  adds  to  the  service. 

This  is  a  fine  service  and  puts 
religion  on  an  order  that  leaves 
nothing  to  be  desired  in  the  way 
of  an  inspiring  and  beautiful 
service-  The  only  thing  lacking — 
sometimes — is  a  good  speaker. 


The  chorus  girl  was  telling  the 
other  girls  in  the  dressing  room 
about  her  birthday  party. 

"You  should  have  seen  thp 
cake,"  she  told  her  companions.. 
"It  was  marvelous.  There  were 
seventeen  candles  on  it — one  for 
each  year." 

There  was  a  disbelieving  sil- 
ence for  a  moment  or  two,  then 
her  best  friend  smiled. 

"Seventeen  candles,  eh?"  she 
purred,  "What  did  you  do — burn 
them  at  both  ends?"

SHOTS  AT  SPORTS 


By  "GALLEY" 

Now  that  the  basketball  season 
is  completely  over,  it's  time  to 
turn  dur  thoughts  to  the  coming 
baseball  season — 

My  guess  is  that  most  candi- 
dates for  the  team  will  begin  con- 
ditioning as  soon  as  the  weather 
permits — 

One  consolation  about  this 
year's  prospects — they  only  have 
one  way  to  go— 

This  year's  season  and  sched- 
ule will  be  somewhat  marred  by 
the  fact  that  spring  vacation 
starts  about  the  time  games 
should  get  into  full  swing 

In  looking  back  over  the  past 
basketball  season,  we  can  all  say 
that  we've  thoroughly  enjoyed 
watching  the  Buffs  give  a  very 
good  account  of  themselves 
against  all  competitors  in  spite  of 
lack  of  height. 

We  all  feel  we  have  a  much 
better  club  than  the  record  shows 
and  will  be  looking  for  and  ex- 
pecting some  of  those  beautiful 
and  elusive  trophies  to  be  brought 
home  next  year. 

With  the  final  regular  season 
game   of   the   year,   Phil   Roush, 


only  senior  on  the  club,  per- 
formed for  the  last  time  as  a 
member  of  the  fighting  Buffaloes 
— and  what  a  performance  that 
was! — Phil  stunned  the  Emory  &t 
Henry  Wasps  with  a  total  of  nine 
field  goals  in  twelve  attempts — 
and  all  coming  from  different 
shots  and  different  angles  topped 
off  by  a  beautiful  left-hand  hook 
shot  while  going  full  speed!  Yes. 
though  we  lost,  it  was  a  great 
game  and  a  great  individual  per- 
formance turned  in  by  a  good 
guy! 

At  this  writing,  not  very  many 
people  have  signed  up  for  var- 
sity tennis.  All  those  wishing  to 
try  out  for  the  team  are  urged  to 
sign  the  paper  available  in  the 
lobby  of  Pardee  Hall. 

It  seems  that  Miss  Mynatt  has 
uncovered  some  hidden  talent  in 
her  g>'m  classes.  We  did  not  know 
there  was  a  fencer  on  the  cam- 
pus until  their  rousing  defeat  of 
L,  M.  U.  to  the  tune  of  13-3.  How- 
ever, L.  M.  U.  atoned  some  what 
for  their  feeble  showing  by  hold- 
ing the  lassies  to  a  draw  in  the 
return  bouts. 


Milligan    Loses    Out   In   SMAC  To   Carson  -  Nenman 

—  Jl^tuffi  Home  After 

First  Game 

Jefferson  City— The  Buffaloes 
of  Milligan  sadly  retraced  their 
tracks  back  to  Johnson  City 
Thursday  night.  March  -Ith,  after 
losing  a  heart-breaking  and  thrill- 
ing game  in  the  first  round  of  the 
Smoky  Mountain  Athletic  Confer- 
ence Tournament  by  the  score  of 
63-62.  A  heart-breaking  game  to 
the  valiant  men  of  Walker  and  a 
thrilling  game  for  the  Eagles  of 
Netcher. 

The  score  stood  in  the  lost  four 
minutes  with  Milligan  59-50  and 
then  Shields  Smith  of  Carson- 
Newman  came  into  the  game  to 
spark  the  Eagles  with  eight 
straight  points!  Mellinger.  Ayer, 
and  Bivcns  then  made  up  the  dif- 
ference with  a  foul  shot  and  two 
buckets  to  take  the  game  away 
just  as  the  buzzer  went  off  to  end 
the  game. 

This  game  cannot  be  blamed  on 
an>one,  as  Coach  Walker  and  his 
men  played  hard  to  win,  but  the 
Eagles  played  harder!  It  was  a 
gallant  tribute  that  the  Eagles 
gave  their  Coach  who  was  in  the 
hospital  and  couldn't  be  with  his 
boys.  The  Eagles  proved  that  they 
were  really  fired  up  the  next 
night  CFriday)  as  they  pushed 
first-ranked  Emory  and  Henry  in- 
to an  overtime  only  to  lose  by 
four  points.

The  average  man  remains  with 
his  wife  through  thick  and  thin, 
but  he  prefers  her  thin. 

Judge:  "Your  wife  claims  that 
you  haven't  spoken  to  her  in  five 
years.  Have  you  any  explana- 
tion?"

According  to  Dorothy  Dix  some 
men  lack  even  the  initiative  to 
propose  marriage. 

At  Northwestern  University,  a 
recent  ruling  permits  students  to 
kiss  their  dates  goodnight  at  the 
dormitory  door— out  only  as  long 


as  the  couple  keeps  all  four  feet 
on  the  ground.

beautiful'?" 
Little  boy:    "Past." 


Money  may  not  go  as  far  as  it 
used  to,  but  we  have  just  as  much 
trouble  getting  it  back. 

'Pears  to  me  there  are  three 
kinds  of  people:  The  few  who 
make  things  happen;  the  many 
who  watch  things  happen,  and 
the  big  majority  who  have  no 
idea  what  has  happened. 

Jed  Tolliver's  boy  says  tying 
himself  to  one  woman  isn't  what 
bothers  a  fella  getting  married 
.  .  .  it's  separating  himself  from 
all  the  others. 

Seems  a  lot  of  men  are  so  busy 
learning  the  tricks  of  the  trade 
that  they  never  learn  the  trade.

Due  to  the  combined  efforts  of 
Miss  Mynatt  and  "Doc"  Hawes. 
Milligan  hopes  to  inaugurate  into 
the  athletic  program  of  the  school 
an  active  swimming  team  to  com- 
pete with  other  colleges  of  like 
size. 

The  team,  composed  entirely  of 
freshmen  with  the  exception  of 
"Doc"  and  Jim  Hawes.  should 
help  us  to  keep  a  variety  of  ac- 
tivity in  our  school  program  in- 
stead of  leaning  toward  the  one- 
sport  program  so  prevalent  among 
small  colleges.  Also,  this  will  en- 
able students  with  athletic  abil- 
ity to  earn  a  varsity  letter  in  a 
sport  that  is  more  and  more  com- 


'Big  Time'  School 


Ing  to  the  front  in  the  sports 
world  and  one  that  is  certainly 
universal  in  appeal. 

A  few  matches  have  been  ar- 
ranged and  the  team  hopes  to 
present  a  swimming  show,  clowns 
and  all.  in  the  near  future  for  the 
entertainment  of  the  student 
body. 

The  team  is  composed  of  the 
following:  "Doc"  Hawes,  actm^g 
as  coach;  Jim  Hawes,  Sid  Walker, 
who  promises  to  be  a  fine  swim- 
mer; Gordon  Fairchild.  swimming 
man  from  high  echool;  Bill  Eun-

Atlantic  City.  N.  J— Sixteen 
thousand  members  of  the  Ameri- 
can Association  of  School  Ad- 
ministrators, gathered  here  in 
convention  this  week,  heard  from 
their  Educational  Policies  Com- 
mission a  plea  that  big-time  high 
school  athletics  be  abolished. 

"High  -  pressure  competition, 
with  overemphasis  on  the  impor- 
tance of  winning,  should  not  be 
sanctioned,"  the  commission  de- 
clared. It  called  for  eliminating 
high  school  championships,  tour- 
naments, long  seasons  and 
"bowls."  and  urged  financing  of 
school  sports  from  general  funds 
rather  than  gate  receipts! 

Present  "hysterical  overempha- 
sis" on  a  winning  team,  the  com- 
mission held,  means  that  teach- 
ers are  often  forced  to  pamper 
the  star  athlete,  coaches  forget 
good  sportsmanship  and  the 
piipils  suffer  mental  or  emotional 
damage.  Instead,  all  pupils  should 
be  helped  to  take  part  in  sports. 

The  commission's  report  caused 
considerable  controversy  among 
the  school  administrators.

A  Farewell  To  Voices 

Soon  the  choir  will  leave  on  their  annual  tour  of  the 
churches  on  their  mission  of  music,  bringing  to  the  people 
that  hear  them  all  the  labor  and  fruits  of  their  practice 
and  devotion  of  music,  God,  and  school.  We  wish  them 
success  and  hope  that  through  them  the  people  that 
hear  them  will  get  a  clear  picture  of  this  school  called 
Milligan  and  understand  more  fully  the  ideals  and  pur- 
poses of  this  great  college. 

May  these  people  understand,  also,  that  the  liberal 
arts  college  offers  a  great  opportunity  for  teachers,  law- 
yers, doctors,  ministers,  as  well  as  musicians.  May  they 
realize  that  each  profession  is  represented  in  this  great 
body  of  voices. 

To  this  end  we  hope  that  you,  the  choir,  and  its  mem- 
bers, may  achieve  this  goal  that  through  you  as  indi- 
viduals, the  members  of  these  churches  may  realize 
■more  fully  that  Milligan  College  does  indorse  "Christian 
Education,  The  Hope  of  the  World."  We  pray  that  it  will 
show  in  your  personality  as  well  as  your  music. 

Good  luck  to  you  and  God  bless  you,  each  and  every 
one. 

Sincerely,  Pat  Hand.

Would  You  Be  The  Turtle 
Or  The  Harried? 

A  certain  college  president  used  to  keep  beside  him 
three  symbols  of  office — an  eight-ball,  which  he  sat  be- 
hind; a  cryslal  ball  with  a  red  cover  over  it  and  a  big 
"No"  visible  at  the  bottom;  and  finally,  a  drawing  of  a 
turtle,  with,  the  motto:  "Behold  the  turtle.  He  makes 
progress  only  when  his  neck  is  out." 

These  symbols  represented  the  main  way  in  which  a 
man  could  handle  any  situation.  He  could  accept  the 
eight-ball  philosophy — pessimism,  or  defeat,  or  getting 
into  a  defensive  positiorL 

Or  he  could  crystalize  the  situation  by  procrastinating, 
fretting,  or  daydreaming.  This  is  the  man  who  visualizes 
the  huge  oak  of  the  futtire  without  comprehending  that 
that  same  oak  must  today  be  pruned  again  and  again. 
But  to  this  alternative  President  Conant  asserts  a  posi- 
tive "No!" 

"Suppoif  your  task,  my  little  man. 
Is  very  hard  to  get, 
WiU  it  make  if  any  easier 
For  you  to  sit  and  frelT 
And  wouldn't  it  be  wiser 
Than   waiting  like  a   dunce. 
To  go  to  work  in  earnest 
And  leam  the  thing  at  onceT" 
— Phoede  Cahy. 

The  only  other  alternative  he  has  is  to  take  in  hand 
the  rein5  of  the  situation  and  assert  himself  positively, 
many  times  without  any  assurance  that  the  results  will 
be  counted  favorable. 

Having  lived  with  these  three  symbols  for  many  years, 
Mr.  Conant  dismissed  the  first  two  as  alternatives  and 
retained  them  only  as  reminders  of  what  not  to  do. 
— Richard  Randall.

time   to  get  used    to   this   winter 
weather    we're    having. 

Come  Monday,  the  8th,  "Doc" 
started  the  Senior  Life-Saving 
Course,  Diane,  Anne  Mac,  Loren- 
na.  Dave  Marsh  and  Brady,  Sid, 
Marvin,  Randy,  Jim  Kohls,  Bill 
Mahan,  and  Eunson.  Jerry  Kan- 
nell,  and  Dick  Bevin  were  the  vic- 
tims. Eleven  laps,  float  one  min- 
ute, tread  water  30  seconds,  stand- 
ing front  dive — what  a  way  to 
make  a  living!  Three  hours  a 
night  and  5  nights,  plus  a  writ- 
ten test  on  Saturday  afternoon. 
Don't  let  anybody  kid  you,  that 
Doc  is  a  slave  driver. 

Coach  Walker  went  to  the  hos- 
pital today  to  get  his  leg  operated 
on.  They  took  the  funniest  little 
dried  up'scrimp  out  of  his  knee — 
it's  on  display  in  his  room.  He 
expects  to  be  back  with  us  by 
Thursday  or  Friday.  Wilhoit  is 
going  in  Wednesday  as  the  staff 
at  the  hospital  didn't  think  that 
they  could  stand  to  have  both  ot 


them  there  at  the  same  time.  Af- 
ter WUhoit's  operation,  he  and 
coach  are  going  to  get  together 
and  compare  scrimp. 

Kathy  has  recuperated  and 
came  back  to  us  on  Monday,  the 
8th.  She's  a  lot  better  and  is  all 
set  for  the  rest  of  this  year. 

Our  Tuesday  TV  show  this 
week  was  Helen  Fife  and  the 
quartette  at  a  noon-hour  rehear- 
sal. Helen  did  an  especially  nice 
job  on  "My  Hero."  The  quartette 
did  "Tramp,  Tramp,  Tramp,"  up 
in  fine  fashion. 

On  the  Friday  night  TV  show, 
Susie  Ellis  appeared  as  Snow 
White  singing,  "Someday  My 
Prince  Will  Come,"  with  the  two 
male  quartettes  and  the  two  trios 
With  Susie,  Jane,  Helen,  Sophia, 
and  Gail  in  the  background. 

On  Saturday,  the  13th,  Pat  Mas- 
ters, Pat  Bishop,  Carol  Wardle, 
Eileen  and  Dick,  Momoru  and  Dr. 
and  Mrs,  Walker  went  to  HilLi-

The  library  at  Milligan  College 
has  always  been  a  center  of  in- 
formation and  guidance  for  the 
student  body  and  faculty.  The  col- 
lege, growing  out  of  a  need  for 
education,  fostered  in  the  Buffalo 
Creek  Christian  Church,  has  been 
developed  by  men  of  vision  from 
a  Common  School  through  to  its 
present  Liberal  Arts  college  pro- 
gram. It  had  its  beginning  in  the 
decade  just  preceding  1840  and 
has  long  since  passed  its  hundred 
years  of  service  to  men  and  God. 

Books  have  always  been  neces- 
sary for  a  complete  education. 
Our  Bible,  the  Word  of  God,  is  a 
book  or  as  it  is  termed  "The  Book 
of  Books."  We  might  call  it  our 
spiritual  library.  The  library  at 
Milligan  College  holds  this  book 
as  central,  but  has  ever  recogniz- 
ed the  need  for  related  knowledge 
in  arts  and  sciences, 

"Josephus  Hopwood.  founder  of 
Milligan  College,  elevated  it  to 
this  status  in  1881,  added  to  the 
original  small  brick  building  and 
it  was  this  building  which  we  now 
refer  to  as  the  "Old  Administra- 
tion building"  that  the  library 
grew  and  served.  By  1916  under 
the  leadership  of  Mrs.  B.  H.  Hay- 
den,  it  boasted  4,000  volumes,  a 
fine  library  for  that  era.  Then,  as 
sometimes  happens,  the  old  Ad- 
ministration building,  on  the 
night  of  November  16.  1918.  burn- 
ed to  the  ground.  The  library 
shared  in  the  conflagration.  When 
the  new  Administration  building, 
our  present  one,  rose  almost  im- 
mediately on  the  same  site,  two 
large  rooms  were  designated  for 
the  library.  Under  the  direction 
of  Mrs.  W.  O.  Boyd,  a  new  library 
collection  was  begun.  The  college 
Ubrary  was,  is  and  will  be,  Hhe 
hub  of  the  educational  program, 
It  was  soon  serving  the  needs  of 
the  students  and  faculty.  During 
the  decade  of  1920  to  1930  the 
field  of  librarianship  was  up- 
graded from  a  clerical  status  to 
that  of  3  profession.  By  1929, 
Tabitha  Smith,  a  professionally 
trained  librarian,  was  guiding  the 
Milligan  Library.  For  nearly  ten 
years  she  worked  diligently  to 
expand  ^he  facilities  of  library 
service.  In  1937,  Elizabeth  M. 
England  continued  the  work  of 
her  predecessors  so  that  by  1941 
the  library  contained  "approxi- 
mately 15,000  books  .  ,  ,  .  classi- 
fied and  fully  cataloged." 

In  1942  the  college  closed  its 
doors  to  its  normal  student  body 
and  became  the  only  college  in 
the  U.  S.  devoted  fully  to  the 
Navy  V-12  program.  In  that  year 
a  new  Ubrarian.  Eugenia  Adam- 
son,  took  her  place  at  the  head  of 
the  library.  Sixteen  thousand 
volumes  were  recorded  as  fully 
cataloged  under  the  Dewey  Deci- 
mal system. 

In  1948,  after  the  college  had 
returned  to  its  normal  peace- 
time activity  of  education.  Gret- 
chen  B.  Smith  was  called  to  guide 
the  destiny  of  this  growing  pro- 
gram.  Seventeen  thousand  books 

ices  Dt  Paul  Jones'  Church. 

As  we  go  to  press,  Jeanette  is 
muth  better  and  has  started  to 
complain,  so  she'U  soon  be  back 
with  us. 

The  Choir  is  really  getting  a 
workout,  thus  getting  ready  for 
the  big  tour  starting  next  week. 
Dave  Brady  is  the  Business  Man- 
ager, and  is  getting  ready  for  the 
big  job  ahead.  The  first  week 
they  will  cover  600  miles,  the  sec- 
ond 800.  We  hate  to  see  thorn 
leave  but  we  do  hope  they'll  have 
a  nice  time. 


were  recorded  and  at  least  100 
current  periodicals  were  available 
for  students  and  faculty.  Accord- 
ing to  the  1949-50  college  cata- 
log, the  librarian  is  elevated  for 
the  first  time  to  the  faculty  rank 
ot  assistant  professor.  This  indi- 
cates again  the  value  of  the  li- 
brary in  our  educational  program 
as  well  as  the  recognition  of  the 
scholarship  of  the  profession  of 
librarianship.  In  1951.  Mrs,  Alma 
Brown  served  one  year  as  librar- 
ian in  addition  to  her  duties  as 
professor  in  the  English  depart- 
ment. 

On  September  1,  1953,  the  pres- 
ent librarian  and  author  of  this 
sketch,  assumed  the  duties  of  li- 
brarin  with  faculty  status.  At 
the  time  of  this  writing,  March  15, 
1954,  the  library  has  passed  the 
19.000  number  of  accessioned 
books.  Some  few  have  been  lost, 
worn  out  and  not  replaced,  or 
otherwise  misplaced.  However,  a 
fair  estimate  of  the  books  now 
available  for  reference  use  and 
circulation  would  be  at  least  18,- 
500.  There  are  also  several  gift 
collections  in  the  library  which 
have  not  yet  been  processed  for 
use.  Every  effort  is  made  to  as- 
sist the  student  in  procunng  de- 
sired material. 

"A  library  is  most  useful  when 
most  used"  might  be  our  motto. 
We  are  committed  to  the  empha- 
sis that  Education  is  the  Hope  of 
the  World  but  would  not  be  satis- 
fied without  the  whole  being  per- 
mitted by  the  teaching  of  the 
Great  Library  or  Book  of  Books, 
our  Bible.  Hence  we  understand 
this  education  to  mean  that 
"Christian  Education  is  the  Hope 
of  the  World." 


Chatter  From  Cheek 

(Continued  From  Page  One) 
home  of  many  TV  celebrities  such 
as  Helen  Fife.  Sophie  Myers, 
Carol  Wardle,  Gale  Shepherd  and 
Pat  Lindsey,  It  is  also  the  home 
of  "hospitality,"  In  return  for 
Hardin's  hospitality  in  January 
the  girls  at  Cheek  gladly  let 
Jackie  Harrison  take  a  "hot 
shower." 

The  latest  news  event  at  Cheek 
Hall  is  Alice  Jermyn's  trouble  in 
keeping  ti;ack  of  her  purse.  It's 
so  tiny  that  it's  understandable. 
Also  the  girls  basketball  team  and 
the  Deacons  played  host  to  the 
young  people  of  the  Jonesboro 
Christian  Church  on  March  12. 
There  resulted  two  good  games 
in  the  g>'m. 

The  latest  couples  as  seen  from 
Anne  Robinson's  room  are  Mari- 
I>'n  and  Jerry,  Helen  and  Jim, 
Alice  and  Dave,  Carol  and  Tom; 
and,  last  but  never  least,  Mar>iyn 
and  Al.  The  question  of  the 
month  is:  Why  does  Carol  Wardle 
enjoy  zoology  lab  so  much? 
Speaking  of  couples,  on  March  5, 
Quinton  Owen  of  Harriman,  Ten- 
nessee, made  one  oT  his  frequent 
visits  to  Milligan.  I  wonder  if  he 
and  Anne  Miller  could  be  serious? 

About  the  most  exciting  things 
that  happen  at  Cheek  are  prepara- 
tion for  choir  tour  and  plans  for 
spring  vacation.  Pat  Lindsey's 
midnight  phone  calls,  the  three 
mysterious  parties  who  poured 
cold  water  on  Jane  Carpenter  and 
Carol  Hamilton  looking  eagerly 
out  the  window  awaiting  the  ar- 
rival of  George  (her  brother,  that 
is)  and  the  weekly  trudges  to 
Pardee  for  the  laundry  (777). 

But  now  I  must  go— Fve  run 
out  of  things  to  say.  as  I  seldom 
talk  much.  So  long  from  Check

tour  besides  the  official  choir  is 
Dave  Brady,  who  is  acting  in  the 
capacity  of  business  manager 
and  publicity  chairman.  Dave  has 
done  a  tremendous  job  of  getting 
the  business  end  in  shape.  Dave 
has  written  to  the  churches,  pre- 
pared posters,  news  releases, 
chartered  the  bus,  and  arranged 
for  places  for  the  choir  members 
to  stay.  Dave  is  to  be  congratu- 
lated on  his  work.

Music  Department  Offers  Much 
To  Students  At  Milligan  College 


By    PAT  HAND 

The  Music  Department  of  Mil- 
ligan offers  much  to  Milligan  stu- 
dents as  it  offers — at  one  time  or 
another  during  the  year — various 
courses  to  improve  the  education 
of  the  music  major  and  minor. 

Such  courses  as  Music  Appre- 
ciation; Beginnmg  and  Advanced 
Harmony;  Keyboard  Harmony; 
Conducting;  Beginning  and  Ad- 
vanced Sight  Singing;  Music  in 
the  Elementary  School;  and 
Church  Music  History,  are  being 
offered  this  semester  in  the  Mu- 
sic Department. 

A  faculty  of  three  teaches — 
Miss  Ruth  White.  Miss  Ona  Wei- 
mer  and  Miss  Betty  Jo  Riddle 
teach  the  subjects  offered  in  mu- 
sic (see  other  column  for  details 
on  these  three). 

Also  offered  are  special  classes 
in  organ,  piano  and  voice.  The 
Music  Department  has  13  pianos 
— 10  in  the  administration  build- 
ing and  1  each  in  the  three  dorms. 
There  is  also  the  gigantic  Wur- 
litzer  organ — valued  at  $60,000 — 
in  '  the  Administration  Building 
Five  of  these  pianos  are  new,  hav- 
ing been  received  this  year  as  a 
gift   from  various  churches. 

The  voice  teacher  is  Miss  Ruth 
White,  and  a  recital  is  held  each 
year  to  exhibit  her  pupils'  efforts 
and  is  always  one  of  the  biggest 
social  events  on  campus.  Miss 
Weimer  and  Miss  Riddle  teach 
piano,  as  well  as  Miss  White,  and 
a  separate  recital  is  also  held  each 
year.  Miss  Weimer  teaches  organ, 
but  since  the  organ  has  been  out 
of  pommission  up  to  this  year,  it 
Is  not  known  whether  a  recital 
will  be  held  for  this. 

Undoubtedly,  the  Music  Depart-

ment  contributes  much  to  the 
liberal  arts  college,  just  as  the 
.college  contributes  to  the  Music 
Department — a  fine  institution 
within  a  great  institution. 

Although  the  choir  is  consider- 
ed a  part  of  the  Music  Depart- 
ment, it  draws  its  members  from 
the  other  professions  in  the  col- 
lege, It  includes — as  well  as  mu- 
sic majors — students  .preparing  to 
be  doctors,  teachers,  ministers, 
coaches,  chemistry  majors,  secre- 
taries— all  blending  together  their 
talents.  These  people  total  sixty- 
one  and  number  31  freshmen,  18 
sophomores,  9  juniors  and  3  sen- 
iors. Various  singing  groups  are 
taken  from  the  choir  and  these 
are:  the  trio,  sextet,  sophomore 
quartet,  senior  quartet,  women's 
ensemble,  and  men's  ensemble. 

Two  women,  who  are  active 
with  the  choir,  but  will  not  make 
the  tour,  are  Pat  Bishop  and  Gail 


Willoughby,  who  sing  m  the  trio 
and  sextet.    Both   are  altos. 

Another  project  of  the  Music 
Department  is  the  two  television 
programs  each  week  over  chan- 
nel eleven,  in  Johnson  City,  This 
is  not  exclusively  a  Music  De- 
partment project,  but  so  far  the 
task  has  been  up  to  them.  The 
program  is  light  and  happy,  but 
with  a  certain  religious  emphasis 
throughout,  combined  with  secu- 
lar music.  There  is  only  simple 
advertising  of  the  college  at  the 
beginning  and  end  of  each  pro- 
gram. 

Any  suggestions  to  improve  the 
program  are  welcome  and  other 
departments  are  urged  to  partici- 
pate and  sponsor  programs  from 
their  departments. 

This  is  only  one  department  of 
this  college,  but  time  and  space 
do  not  allow  us  to  expound  on 
other  departments  in  this  issue.

faces,  you  can  tell 
they're  looking  for-

too. 

Came  the  day,  however,  when 
his  overambitious  traininer  at- 
tempted to  teach  him  analytic 
geometry  and  brought  out,  in-

MORNING  SONG 

When  I  was  one  and  twenty 
And  bursting  with  elan, 

I  rose  up  early  every  morning 
And  worked  to  get  my  man. 

Now   I  am  one  and  thirty, 
And  fate  must  have  its  quirk: 
I  rise  up  every  morning 
And  get  my  man  to  work! 


POSTED 

A  young  man  was  walking 
through  the  woods  with  his  gun 
on  his  shoulder  and  his  bag  full 
of  game  which  he  had  shot.  But 
he  was  not  satisfied  with  what  he 
had  obtained  and  was  looking 
for  more  when  an  excited  man 
with  a  tin  badge  on  which  was 
inscribed  the  word  "Sheriff." 
came  running  upto  him  and  de- 
manded: 

"Haven't  you  seen  the  signs 
which  I  put  up  on  the  trees  in 
these  woods?" 

"Oh,  yes,  I  saw  them,"  answer- 
ed the  young  man.  "They  said  'No 
Hunting'  but  I  found  some."

The  Basketball  Season  In  Review 


A  SECOND  LOOK 


By  JOHNNY  BYRD 

The  basketball  season  is    over. 

The  Buffs  won  9 — lost  14. 

From  all  appearances  it  would 
seem  that  the  season  was  not  too 
successful.  However,  before  pass- 
ing any  hasty  Judgment  on  the 
coach  and  players,  I  think  four 
things    should    be    considered : 

1. — From  the  se  a  s  on's  rec-' 
ord  elsewhere  In  this  paper,  it 
is  evident  that  in  several  games 
the  only  difference  between  de- 
feat and  victory  was  three  or  four 
points.  AJso,  many  of  the  games 
were  much  closer  than  the  score 
indicates. 

2, — Every  team  which  the  Buffs 
met  represented  schools  with  a 
larger  enrollment  than  MilUgan. 
Examples  are  East  Tennessee 
State,  with  2.500;  and  Appala- 
chain  State,  with  1500  (we  beat 
'em  twice).  Many  of  these  schools 


also  scout  high-school  players 
and  provide  scholarships. 

3. — The  Buffs  played  as  well  as 
East  Tennessee  State  for  three 
quarters  and  caused  the  Bucs  to 
play  as  hard  as  they  played  all 
year, 

4. — What  is  the  purpose  of  bas- 
ketball at  Milligan,  anyway?  To 
make  money,  to  win  games?  I 
think  not.  To  develop  character. 
to  learn  how  to  take  it,  in  other 
words — to  make  men — this  is  our 
purpose  in  playing  basketball. 

The  words  of  Henry  Ward 
Beecher  are  appropriate: 

"It  is  defeat  that  turns  bone  to 
flint,  and  gristle  to  muscle,  and 
makes  men  invincible,  and  form- 
ed these  heroic  natures  that  are 
now  in  ascendency  in  the  world 
— Do  not  be  afraid  of  defeat — You 
are  never  so  near  to  victory  as 
when  defeated  in  a  good  cause." 


Tennis  Season  Gets  Underivay 


The  varsity  tennis  team  has 
started  practice  with  eleven  men 
trying  out  for  the  six  positions 
on  the  team.  Every  afternoon 
that  isn't  too  cold,  you  can  hear 
the  "twang"  of  racquet  against 
ball  as  these  men  try  to  get  in 
shape  for  the  first  game  on 
April  1st. 

A  tournament  ladder  has  been 
set  up  by  Constance  Mynatt,  head 
tennis  coach,  and  it  finds  the  re- 
turning veteran  and  fine  player. 
Phil  Roush  in  the  number  one 
slot,  with  that  strong  net  man, 
Grant  Layman,  another  veteran, 
in  the  numtter  two  slot.  Both  of 
these  men  are  Seniors  and  are  ex- 
pected to  make  their  last  year 
one  of  their  finest  on  the  courts. 

The  other  men  on  the  ladder 
stand  as  follows  on  March  16; 
Jerry  Hughes,  No.  3,  a  sophomore; 
Jim  Fox,  No.  4,  junior;  "Doc" 
Hawes  is  holding  down  the  No.  5 
spot.  "Doc"  is  a  senior,  but  this 
is  his  first  year  at  trying  for  a 
position  on  the  team.  Don  Will- 
iams   is    currently    in   the   No.    6 


slot,  a  sophomore,  Pat  Hand  is 
at  No.  7 ;  Marvin  Swiney.  No. 
8;  Bob  Williams  at  No.  9  position; 
Bud  Gaslin  in  No.  10,  and  Leonard 
Gallimore  at  the  No.  11  slot. 

It  is  not  the  job  of  this  writer 
to  make  predictions,  so  I  can  not 
say  who  will  be  the  six  men  to 
make  the  team.  There  are  some 
good  men  out  and  he  who  makes 
the  team  made  it  the  'hard  way." 

Following  is  the  tennis  schedule 
released  by  Coach  Mynatt:

Hey!    Hey!    Take   it   awfly! 

Hey!    Hey!   Take  it  away! 

If  you  were  in  earshot  of  Milli- 
gan some  night  of  one  of  our 
home  basketball  games,  that's  the 
war  chant  you'd  probably  hear. 
I  think  the  gang  of  Milligan  did 
a  wonderful  job  in  investing 
spirit  in  the  Buffs. 

Our  hardwood  sport  is  over  for 
'54;  as  I  look  over  the  season,  I 
see; 

Co-captain  Bud  Gaslin  attained 
honor  of  all  V.  S.  A.  C,  Confer- 
ence Way  to  go.  Bud,  Bud  was 
high  point  man  for  the  Buffs,  a 
terrific  dribbler,  too.  Our  other 
guard,  Phil  Roush,  is  the  only 
senior  on  the  squad,  for  which  we 
had  "Phil  Roush  Night."  I'll 
never  forget  the  look  on  Phil's 
face.  Phil's  a  set  shot  artist,  got 
the  majority  of  his  points  that 
way. 

How  about  thai  Globe  Trotter 
Duet,  composed  of  Jim  "Buckets" 
Burgett  and  Glen  "High  Pockets" 
Barton.  Glen  was  our  leading  re- 
bound man  and  excellent  on  'tip- 
ins,'  Jim,  our  playmaker.  famous 
for  his,  "How  did  he  do  it"  passes, 
was  third  highest  in  scoring,  and 
leading  in  assisted  scoring. 

"Jumping  Jack"  Al  Covell  held 
honors  in  mid-season  for  hfgh- 
scoring  over  the  nation.  He  had 
an  average  of  over  fifty  percent. 
Al  has  a  dead  jump  shot.  He  fin- 
ished  second    highest   tallier, 

Jim  "Hyme"  Crouch,  one  of  our 
centers,  is  hot  on  comer  shots 
and  "tip-ins."  He  played  a  great 
game  in  the  tournament  against 
Union. 

Duard  "Elbows"  Aldrich,  our 
other  center  played  a  great  deal 
of  ball.  In  there  hustling  all  the 
time.    Slick  hook-shot.  too. 

Norm  "Eagle-Eye"  Held,  a  boy 
who  can  drive  and  dribble.  Also 
hits  one  hand  shots  from  out.  He 
plays  topnotch  ball. 

Bill  'Lightning"  Gouge  came  in 
to  the  season  late,  but  proved  to 
be  one  of  the  trickiest  ball  hand- 
lers and  a  constant  driver.  This 
boy  is  fast, 

Don  "Wormy"  Wjlliams,  I 
would  like  to  present  to  this  cage- 
man  the  1954  Basketball  Award. 
the  W.  T.  D.  A.  F.  Citation.  The 
best    actor    on    the    court.     Don 


played  a  reliable  forward  posi- 
tion. 

Jim  "Cat  Man"  Wilhoit.  I  call 
him  just  plain  "unlucky."  Jim  in- 
jured his  knee  in  practice  after 
Christmas.  He's  an  outstanding 
dribbler  and  jump  shot  artist-  He 
had  his  knee  operated  on.  See  you 
m  the  cage  next  season  Jim. 

If  I  were  to  pick  the  game  of 
the  year,  I'd  have  to  nominate  our 
game  with  State  on  their  home 
floor.  It  was  a  physical  loss,  but 
a  moral  victory. 

Our  game  record  was  9  wins 
and  14  losses,  I  guess  we  all 
realize  that  we  can't  win  ball 
games  by  crying  about  losses,  but 
only  win  by  looking  ahead,  cor- 
recting mistakes  and  cheering  our 
hearts  out,  and  voices  too. 

Well,  that's  the  organization  we 
call  the  "Buffs."  I  know  I  speak 
for  the  entire  body  of  Milligan  in 
saying,  "Nice  going"! !  We're 
proud  of  you — "all". 

The  tank  Reason  went  along 
quite  undeveloped,  we  had  two 
meets  scheduled,  but  neither  ma- 
tured. 

The  baseball  season  should 
prove  to  be  a  fine  one.  We  have 
a  lot  of  material.  Let's  wait  and 
see. 

On  the  tennis  fourts.  Phil 
Roush  returns  as  No.  1  man  again 


this  year.  Grant  Layman  is  No.  2 
and  Jerry  Hughes.  3rd.  The  only 
Freshman  is  Marv  Sweeney.  Here 
is  a  team  that  has  possibilities. 

If  at  some  lime  you  happened 
to  glance  at  the  football  field  and 
saw  a  couple  of  guys  running 
around,  it  was  probably  Scott 
Lewis  and  myself,  training  for 
our  spring  sport-track.  Scot  high 
jumps  about  S'lO".  broad  jumps. 
throws  shot  and  discus  and  runs 
almost  a  one-man  track  team.  Un- 
fortunately, no  track  team  is 
scheduled  this  year. 

That  about  winds  sports  up  to 
date.  I'll  be  talking  to  you  in  the 
next    STAMPEDE.

Just    A    Bit    Of    Humor 


Concluding  his  lecture  a  college 
professor  started  to  dismiss  the 
class  when  a  student  called  out: 

"Professor  have  you  any  docu- 
mentary proof  to  support  the 
things  you've  been  telling    us?". 

Since  the  talk  had  been  about 
life  on  other  planets,  the  profes- 
sor admitted  ne   hadn't. 

"Until  you  produce  proof."  said 
the  brash  student,  "do  you  mind 
if  I  call  you  a  lia!r?" 

"Not  at  all,  but  tell  me.  were 
you  bom  a  human  or  an  animal?" 

"A  human,  of   course." 

"Have  you  your  birth  certificate 
with  you?" 

"No.  but—" 

"Well,  until  you  produce  it,  do 
you  mind  if  I  call  you  an  imperti- 
nent jackass?" 

The  only  trouble  is  that  when 
the  country  does  get  back  on  its 
feet,  it  will  be  on  the  taxpayer's 
neck. 


A  traveling  salesman  ran  out  of 
gas  one  evening  on  a  lonely  road 
and  asked  at  the  onlv  farmhouse 
in  sight,  "Can  you  put  me  up  for 
the  night?" 

"I  reckon  I  can."  said  the  farm- 
er, "if  you  don't  mind  sharing  a 
room  with  my  young  son." 

"Good  heavens,"  gasped  the 
salesman,  'Tm  in  the  wrong  joke." 

Karl:  "Dad.  I  put  a  sUCk  of 
dynamite  under  the  teacher's 
chair  today," 

Dad;  "Well,  you  go  right  back 
to  school  and  apologize  this  min- 
ute!" 

Karl:     "What  school?" 

"Mv  uncle  had  a  terrible  acci- 
dent. '  said  Jones,  "and  the  doc- 
tor told  him  he  would  have  him 
on  his  feet  in  a  month." 

"And  did  he?"  queried  his  com- 
panion, 

"Yeah,"  replied  Jones.  "When 
the  doctor  sent  his  bill,  my  uncle 
sold  his  car." 


STATE  OF  THE  UNION 

Fund  Raising  Activities  Begin  To  Flourish 


By  DICK  RANDALL 

The  Milligan  Christian  Service 
Club  has  formulated  plans  for  a 
plantation-themed  stage  produc- 
tion as  a  money-raiser  for  the 
Student  Union  Building,  The  pro- 
duction— Student  Union  Review 
— will  be  staged  in  the  college 
auditorium  the  evening  of  April 
eighth.  Incidontly.  the  produc- 
tion's title  abbreviated  spells  Sir 
in  the  genuine  Southern  style. 

Delegations  from  several  near- 
by congregations,  including  the 
Greeneville  one.  are  planning  to 
be  present  for  the  Review.  It  is 
under  jthe  management  of  Profes- 
sor Elmer  C.  Lewis,  who  is  rich- 
ly endoi.ved  with  play-manage- 
ment  experience. 

Central  Christian  Church  of 
Jonesboro  has  designated  the  first 
Sunday  in  April  as  Student  Union 
Day  and.  at  that  time,  will  honor 
Professor  Sam  J.  Hyder  for  the 
invaluable  service  which  he  has 
rendered  as  godfather  of  the  Stu- 
dent Union  project 

During  the  service  an  offering 
will  be  given  for  use  in  furnish- 
ing the  structure.  Profesaor  Jjewls 


is  minister  of  the  congregation 
and  the  assistant  minister  is 
Jerry  Wagner. 


Just  after  Luke  was  admitted  to 
the  hospital,  he  heard  a  knock  on 
the  door  of  his  room.  He  called 
out  for  whoever  it  was  to  come  in 
and  in  comes  a  snappy  little  wo- 
man. 

"I'm  your  doctor,"  she  said  to 
Luke.  "Take  your  clothes  off, 
please." 

Luke  asked  her  if  she  meant  all 
of  them  and  she  told  him  that's 
just  what  she  Aid  mean. 

Se  he  took  all  his  clothes  off 
and  she  examined  him;  nose, 
throat,  chest,  stomach,  thighs, 
feet.  When  she  got  through  she 
announced,  "You  may  get  into 
bed.  Do  you  have  any  questions?" 

"Just  one,"  said  Luke,  'Why  did 
you  knock?" 

Perpetual  latecomer  enters 
class  about  five  minutes  after  the 
bell  has  rung  with  the  remark, 
"started  a  litlJe  early  this  morn- 
ing,, didn't  you?" 

Professor  answers,  "No.  we 
started  on  time.  Why  don't  you 
try  it  occasionally?" 

One  American  marriage  in  ev- 
ery five  ends  in  divorce.  The 
other  couples  fight  it  out  to  the 
bitter  end.

Thanks 

The  things  I  would  say  at  the  close  of  a  school  year 
have  already  been  written  by  Johnny  Byrd  in  a  grand 
manner.  Therefore,  there  is  no  need  for  me  to  expound 
further  on  the  joys  we  have  shared  together  this  year, 
except  I  want  to  thank  you  all  for  being  my  friends  this 
year,  for  giving  me  congratulations  and  thanks  for  edit- 
ing a  paper  and  giving  me  that  boost  when  I  thought  I 
had  failed. 

It's  been  a  good  year  in  all  respects.  I  have  enjoyed  it 
and  I  hope  you  have  also.  I  hope  you  considered  the 
STAMPEDE  a  part  of  Milligan  and  were  proud  to  show 
it  to  your  friends  and  family. 

You  know,  the  editor  gets  a  little  praise  but  the  writer 
of  this  paper  gets  even  less,  so  if  you  would,  would  you 
express  your  thanks  to  them  for  helping  make  the 
STAMPEDE  possible?  I  know  it  would  be  greatly  ap- 
preciated. 

Best  of  everything  always — and  I  hope  to  see  you 
again — sometime. 

Sincerely, 
PAT  HAND. 


A    Fareivell 

In  a  few  days  we  will  be  leaving  Milligan.  For  some 
of  us  these  few  days  will  be  the  last  at  Milligan.  Others 
will  return  in  the  fall 

When  we  leave  here  we  will  go  in  all  directions;  to 
Cuba  and  Pennsylvania,  to  Texas  and  Iowa,  to  Johnson 
City  and  Elizabethton.  Some  will  travel  five  miles;  others 
five  hundred  miles.  Some  will  go  to  big  cities — Pitts- 
burgh, Chicago.  Others  will  go  to  small  villages  and 
farms. 

We  will  do  different  things.  Some  will  preach,  some 
will  loaf,  some  will  work  for  parents,  some  will  work  for 
Uncle  Sam,  some  will  work  in  service  stations,  some 
will  work  in  plants  with  five  thousand  employees.  Some 
will  associate  with  college  graduates,  people  with  cul- 
ture; others  will  associate  with  people  with  a  fourth- 
grade  education.  Some  will  not  enter  a  church  door; 
others  will  go  three  times  a  week. 

Yes,  many  things  will  be  different  when  we  leave 
here.  But  all  of  us  have  one  thing  in  common— we  will 
have  memories-  Surveying  the  wide-eyed  Freshmen  in 
September,  snowball  fights  in  front  of  Hardin,  ah  11:00 
snack  at  the  Dixie,  waiting  for  the  evening  mail,  the 
dull  penetration  of  the  prof's  voice  through  sleepy  senses 
in  a  first  period  class,  the  expedition  to  Pardee  for  the 
laundry,  hitch-hiking  to  J.  C.  on  Saturday  night,  the 
blood-curdling  scream  of  Jim  Buckles  in  chow-line,  a 
frantic  last-minute  search  for  earrings,  a  midnight  bull 
session,  long  walks  .  .  . 

But  even  more  deeply  imprinted  on  our  memories  than 
these  nostalgic  recollections  will  be  thoughts  of  things 
of  a  deeper  nature:  the  general  atmosphere  at  Milligan 
—good-will,  cooperation.  Christian  love.  To  some,  this 
Christian  atmosphere  was  taken  for  granted.  It  was 
something  they  were  used  to  and  which  they  thought  all 
men  should  live,  but,  to  others,  this  atmosphere  was  one 
in  which  they  had  no  intimate  part;  it  was  a  relation- 
ship which  they  felt  it  would  be  good  to  enter  some- 
time, but  not  now,  later.  And  as  each  of  us  go  our  way, 
may  we  remember  that  the  fellowship  enjoyed  here  was 
possible  only  because  the  Spirit  of  Christ  was  here  and 
if  we  want  to  get  the  fullest  enjoyment  out  of  life  away 
from  here,  then  Christ  should  go  with  us  in  our  hearts. 

These  lines  by  J.  G.  Percival  seem  fitting  now  at  the 
end  of  the  year: 

There  are   momenti   of  life   thai   u'c   tici'TT  jorget. 
Which  brighten,  and  brighten,  as  the  time  steals  away; 
They  give  a   neiir  charm   to   the   happint   lot. 
And  they  shine  on   the  gloom  of  the  loneliest  day.

STATE   OF    UNION 


By  RED  WAHNOCK 

II  you  have  visited  the  Student 
Union  Building  lately,  you  prob- 
ably have  noticed  that  the  floors 
have  been  sanded,  finished  and 
waxed,  and  the  heating  and  light- 
ing systenns  are  in  operation.  This 
completes  the  construction  but 
the  furnishings  such  as  kitchen 
appliances,  and  the  tables  and 
chairs  are  still  lacking.  It  is  now 
almost  certain  that  the  Student 
Union  will  be  in  operation  next 
fall. 

The  beautiful'  lighting  system 
was  donated  by  a  former  student 
of  Milligan  College,  Mr.  J.  M. 
Hart  and  his  wife,  Pearl.  A  bronze 
plaque  has'  been  erected  and 
reads: 

THE  LIGHTING  SYSTEM  OF 

THE  STUDENT  UNION 

'BUILDING 

IS  IN  HONOR  OF 

PRESIDENT  EMERITUS  AND 

MRS.  HENRY  J.  DERHTICK 

WHO  FROM    1917  Through   1949 

LIVED.  LOVED.  LABORED, 

AND  SACRIFICED 

FOR  MILLIGAN  COLLEGE 

THEY  STAND  FORTH  AS 

PATRONS  OF  YOUTH 

PRESENTED  1954 

BY    AN    APPRECIATIVE 

STUDENT  AND  HIS  WIFE 

JOHN  M.  AND  PEARL  HART 

We  are  extremely  grateful  to 
these  people  for  this  wonderful 
contribution. 

The  history  of  this  construction 
dates  back  to  March  20,  1951.  On 
this  date  President  Dean  Walker 
announced  in  the  chapel  period  a 
proposal  to  erect  a  new  student 
union  building  through  the  use  of 
volunteer  student  labor.  This  an- 
nouncement climaxed  weeks  of 
extensive  planning. 

Here  is  the  story  of  the  idea  up 
to  the  point  of  Dr.  Walker's  an- 
nouncement: T.  P.  Jones,  then  a 
senior,  and  Randy  Cooper,  then  a 
junior,  both  from  Radford,  Vir- 
ginia, had  long  recognized  the 
need  for  a  student  union  building 
upon  Milligan  campus.  These  two 
came  to  the  conclusion  that  such 
a  building  could  be  erected  at  a 
very  low  cost  if  the  students 
would  be  willing  to  do  that  part 
of  the  construction  which  would 
not  require  constant  skilled  labor. 
Together  they  labored  over  the 


specifications  and  plans,  with 
Randy  drawing  up  an  exterior 
view  and  a  view  of  the  floor 
plans  with  the  tentative  positions 
of  the  equipment  and  furnishings. 

When  these  plans  were  suffi- 
ciently completed,  they  were  pre- 
sented to  Dr.  Walker  for  his  per- 
sonal opinion.  Both  Dr.  Walker 
and  the  Board  of  Trustees  gave 
their  whole-hearted  approvel.  On 
the  same  morning  of  Dr  Walker's 
announcement,  the  proposal  was 
approved  by  the  Student  Council 
and   the  entire  student  body, 

The  completion  of  a  student- 
conceived  and  built  student  union 
posed  many  problems.  The  great- 
est of  these  was  acquiring  ade- 
qunate  financial  and  material  aid 
to  insure  that  such  an  enterprise 
could  soundly  begin  and  be  com- 
pleted; for  a  half -completed 
building  would  scar  both  the 
beauty  of  the  campus  and  the 
hearts  of  those  students  to  whom 
the  dream  had  become  so  vivid. 

Since  that  time  the  Student  Un- 
ion building  has  encountered 
many  obstacles  but  through  the 
untiring  efforts  of  many,  especial- 
ly Professor  S.  J.  Hyder,  the 
dream  has  come  true.  It  is  now 
for  uS,  those  who  will  return  here 
for  the  rest  of  our  college  careers, 
to  enjoy,  the  fruits  of  a  dream  of 
those  who  unselfishly  gave  their 
time  and  efforts  realizing  that 
they  themselves  would  not  be 
students  here  to  enjoy  it 

We,  the  students  of  Milligan 
College,  wish  to  offer  our  grati- 
tude to  all  those  who  helped,  con- 
tributed, and  prayed  that  we 
might  have  this  addition  to  our 
beautiful  campus.

rapidly.  A  speedy  recovery  to 
you,   Miss  Jones. 

Did  you  ever  hear  of  so  many 
Contests?  Horace  Heidt,  the 
speech  contest,  P.  T  A,  Talent 
Contest  in  Bristol.  Miss  ojhnson 
City,  Miss  TV  Contest.  Now  if 
somebody  just  had  the  time  to 
go  to  a  contest! 

The  Annuals  came  in  April  this 
year — early — huh?  The  presenta- 
tion was  made  in  chapel  April  29 
by  Betty  Jean,  the  editor,  "Miss 
White  through  her  work  with  the 
choir  and  her  participation  in 
church  activities  and  community 
affairs,  has  contributed  toward 
the  growth  of  Milligan."  It's 
great  and  for  days  everybody  was 
getting  writer's  cramp  from  writ- 
ing in  them  but  at  last  that  has 
died  down. 

The  Pre-Med  Club  had  their 
annual  banquet  the  other  night 
and  what  a  formal  affair  it  was. 
It  seems  that  some  drunk  thought 
it  was  a  wedding  party. 

The  F.  T.  A.  entertained  some 
Erv/in  students  with  a  film, 
speaker,  and  reception.  Gordy, 
Dick,  and  Marvin  entertained  at 
the  reception  which  was  held  in 
Hardin.  They  received  some 
static  from  the  girls  in  the  bal- 
cony who  were  supposedly  trying 
to  sleep.  Goodness,  it  was  only 
9  o'clock 

The  first  day  of  May  was  so 
warm  and  nice  that  the  choir 
members  all  went  in  swimming 
on  their  picnic.  Oh,  someone  just 
corrected  me,  it  was  rain  that 
made  them  look  like  drowned 
Buffaloes. 

The  Juniors  were  hosts  to  the 
Seniors  at  a  picnic  up  at  Watauga 
Lake.  Jackie  was  the  chief  cook. 
Steaks,  too. 

Another  May  Day  has  come  and 
gone  but  this  one  will  be  marked 
as  one  of  the  very  best.  Jimmie 
finally  caught  Chris,  Marcic  con- 
vinced Earl,  Randy  married 
Nancy  and  they  all  lived  happily 
ever  after.  The  day  was  chilly  but 
the  spirit  was  warm  and  the  girls 
looked  lovely. 

The  heated  campaign  begins. 
For  president  in  the  first  election 
were  Sam,  Jimmie,  Dick  and 
Johnny  and  for  vice-president 
were  Omer  and  Bill.  Majority 
rules  and  there  is  no  majority,  so 
we  must  vote  again  and  Johnny 
V.-.Td  wins  and  Omer  is  the  vice.

What  in  this  world  happened  to 
that  Student  Union  Variety 
Show?  That  was  the  talk  of  the 
town  there  for  a  while  and  no- 
body was  going  to  interfere  with 
it  but  it  just  sorta'  died  down. 

The  enemy  has  been  captured! 
Yessir.  the  boys  of  the  "2021  Rat 
Trappers"  have  killed  the  educat- 
ed rat — they  say  he's  been  here 
so  long  that  he  hos  o  B.  S.  in

General  Clean-Up 

Visitors  to  the  Milligan  cam- 
pus this  year  have  been  attracted 
to  the  beautiful  appearance  of  the 
grounds.  Credit  for  these  im- 
provements go  to  Arnold  J-  Milam 
foreman  of  Maintenance  and  his 
crew  of  men, 

A  new  set  of  columns  for  Har- 
din Hall  will  be  placed  before  the 
Commencement  Season.  Painters 
are  hurrying  to  give  all  the  out- 
side woodwork  on  the  major 
buildings  a  coat  of  paint. 

Also  on  the  scene  are  men  who 
are  trimming  the  trees  and  bushes 
and  also  the  men  with  the  lawn- 
mowers  are  turning  the  lawn  into 
lovely  carpets  of  green. 

Much  credit  goes  to  the  kitchen 
staff  for  the  washing  of  the  walls 
in  that  department  and  the  paint 
ing  of  the  food  lockers  which  im- 
prove the  appearance  grealty. 


Memorial  ToF.  A.  Pruitt 

The  Third  Christian  Church, 
Philadelphia,  Pennsylvania  has 
recently  sent  a  gift  of  S350.00  to 
furnish  a  room  in  the  dormitory 
in  memory  of  the  late  F.  A. 
Pruitt.  Mr,  Pruitt  had  served  a 
number  of  years  as  a  member  of 
the  Board  of  Trustees  of  Milligan 
College.  He  was  a  friend  of  youth 
— through  his  teaching  and  the 
example  of  his  life  many  young 
jjeople  have  been  inspired  to  a 
life  of  Christian  service.  Milligan 
is  honored  to  have  this  opportun- 
ity to  pay  tribute  to  Brother 
Pruitt. 

Glenn  Barotn  couldn't  be  out- 
done so  he  just  went  home  and 
brought  him  back  a  new  one,  too. 
These  cars,  incidentally  aren't 
new,  but  they're  new  to  the  proud 
owners. 

Barter  was  here  and  most  all 
of  the  kids  attended  that  were 
still  on  the  campus.  It  seems  that 
gobs  of  kids  spent  the  week-end 
elsewhere.  After  the  play  Pat- 
ricks entertained  at  the  Grill  with 
free  cokes  fo  reverybody.  Doc 
and  Jackie  got  the  folk  dancing 
started  and  then  several  others 
joined  in.  It  was  one  of  the  big 
events  of  the  year! 

Milligan  Day  at  First  Church 
was  another  big  event  and  ever>-- 
body  was  really  exclaiming  over 
all  the  good  food  and  *how  much 
there  was  of  it.  The  choir  ap- 
peared in  the  afternoon  and  it 
was  said  to  have  been  one  of  the 
best  concerts. 

We  no  longer  have  a  Mr.  Henry 
Webb  on  our  faculty.  We  sent  him 
to  Louisville  and  they  sent  us 
back  a  Dr.  Henry  Webb.  Congrat- 
ulations to  you.  Dr.  Webb. 

The  choir  presented  a  magni- 
ficent concert  here  at  the  college 
on  Saturday  night  Jay  Cooper 
and  Grant  Layman  acted  as  stu- 
dent directors  since  they  are  both 
seniors  and  will  be  leaving  us 
this  year.  Mrs.  Norma  Dever  is 
also  a  senior  member  and  has 
been  very  helpful  to  the  choir  for 
her  four  years  here.  The  whole 
program  was  one  of  entertain- 
ment and  inspiration  to  the  big 
crowd  that  attended. 

All  the  recitals  over  over,  the 
seniors  have  passed  out  of  the 
chapel,  the  juniors  have  taken 
their  place.  Classes  have  had  their 
picnics.  Awards  Day  is  over,  the 
Stxident  Council  for  next  year  has 
taken  over,  the  Annual  has  come, 
the  last  issue  of  the  paper  has 
gone  to  press  and  the  year  is 
drawing  to  a  close.  We've  studied, 
we've  played,  we've  laughed, 
we've  cried,  we've  fought,  we've 
made  new  friends,  we've  had  a 
wonderful  fellowship  here  at 
Milligan  College,  thus  ending  an- 
other year  at  that  College  that 
believes  and  teaches  Christian 
education  .  .  .  the  hope  of  the 
world. 


Professor  Sisk  Puhlishes 
Science  Article 

Professor  Lone  Sisk  of  the 
chemistry  and  physics  depart- 
ment has  published  an  article  on 
"The  Effect  of  Spinach  on  Bone 
Formation"  in  the  March  issue  of 
the  journal  of  School  Science  and 
Mathematics.  In  the  article  Pro- 
fessor Sisk  proved  that  spinach 
was  not  as  good  as  turnip  greens 
for  bone  formation. 

Professor  carried  .on  a  research 
in  which  for  37  days  one  group 
of  rats  was  fed  turnip  greens  and 
another  group  fet  spinach.  After 
37  days  on  diets  with  the  same 
amount  of  calcium  the  rats  fed 
on  turnip  greens  were  one-sixth 
heavier  than  the  rats  eating  spin- 
ach, thus  proving  turnip  greens 
were  more  healthful  than  spin- 
ach. 

In  this  research  three  groups  of 
rats  were  used.  Each  group  was 
fed  a  diet  in  which  the  amount  of 
calcium  was  controlled.  One 
group  was  used  as  a  control  and 
was  fed  the  Sherman  modified 
diet.  Another  was  fed  half  the 
Sherman  diet  an  dgiven  enough 
Spinach  to  make  up  the  amount 
of  calcium  in  the  control  diet. 
The  last  group  was  given  half  the 
Sherman  diet  and  endugh  turnip 
greens  to  supply  sufficient  cal- 
cium to  equal  the  amount  in  the 
control  diet.  The  animals  were 
photographed,  X  -  rayed  and 
weighed  at  the  beginning  and 
close  of  the  expierimental  period. 
They  were  weighed  weekly  there- 
aftr. 

The  foods  used  in  this  experi- 
ment were  purchased  direct  from 
the  Grocers  shelves  as  offered  for 
human  consumption.  U.  S.  De- 
partment of  Agriculture  analysis 
was  used.

for    a    caveman,     Thu    scream    of 
Chris  as  Jimmy  ran  after  her  will 
go  down  in  our  book  of  memories. 

From  the  cave  we  go  to  a 
touching  love  scene  between 
Ulysses  and  Penelope,  The  other 
suitors,  Frank  Hawks,  Clarence 
Lamb,  and  Charlie  Smithers,  all 
tried  to  win  the  love  of  penelope. 
Alice  MacDonald.  but  the  only 
one  capable  was  Ulysses.  Tom 
Hawes.  After  the  return  of  Ulys- 
ses to  Penelope  there  was  much 
frolic  and  folk  dancing. 

Cyrano  de  Bergerac  was  really 
a  sight  to  behold.  He  looked  like 
he  was  all  nose.  Jim,  we  didn't 
know  you  had  a  nose  like  Cyrano! 
The  Musketeers  really  formed 
quite  a  choir. 

We  were  all  reminded  of  our 
English  and  Literature  classes 
when  Elizabeth  Barrett  and  Rob- 
ert   Browning    came    upon    the 


Craig^  Lasteel, 
Dougherty  And 
Elam  As  Captains 

What's  all  the  rivalry  about 
here  lately?  For  the  answer  visit 
the  baseball  field  at  4:00  o'clock 
or  5:30.  It's  intramural  soflball. 
Milligan  provides  Inlramurals  all 
year  through  all  sports  and  now's 
Softball  sport. 

Many  of  the  boys  at  Milligan 
have  signed  up  to  play  softball. 
Of  these  four  teams  have  been 
chosen.  Sam  Elam.  Jack  Dougher- 
ty, Bill  Casteel  and  Turky  Craig 
are  captains  of  the  squads,  Elam's 
Indians  are  supported  by  Bud 
Gaslin,  Don  Williams.  Phil  Roush. 
John  Worrell.  Sid  Walker.  Gor- 
die  Fairchild,  Clarence  Lambe. 
Joey  Martinez.  George  Davis,  Ted 
McKeenan  and  Kepler 
Dougherty's  Dodgers  consist  of 
Jim  Fox.  Jack  Gardner,  Bill 
Gouge.  Frank  Hawks.  Charlie 
Smythers,  Jim  DeVauIt.  Bob  Van 
Buren,  Ken  Lawyer.  Jim  Patton. 
Bill  Hall  and  Johnny  Byrd. 

Casteel's  Giants,  or  "Cool  Cats" 
have  Leonard  Gallimore.  Fred 
Menear.  Will  Stout.  Roger  Wea- 
ver. Scott  Lewis.  King  Kohls. 
Doc  Hawes.  Joe  Hill.  Randy  Os- 
borne. Orin  Remsnyder  and  Jim 
Anderson. 

Craig's  Braves  have  Jim  Bur- 
get.  Duard  Aldridge,  Jude  Mc- 
Cracken,  Norm  Held,  John  Hall, 
Pat  Hand,  Bill  Ferrell,  Burley 
Williams,  Glenn  Cunningham, 
Jerry  Kennel  and  Dave  Crandall. 

All  teams  are  in  for  a  barrel  of 
fun  and  good  recreation,  you 
can  be  sure.  Let's  go  out  to  the 
ole  ball  game  and  'Live  it  up.' 


scene.  Patsy  Masters  did  a  swell 
job  on  her  solo. 

From  the  sweet  love  scenes  of 
the  Browning's  the  tempo  of  the 
music  suddenly  changed.  All  at 
once  there  was  a  loud  blast  which 
turned  out  to  be  the  "pep  band." 
They  really  were  full  of  pep.  One 
couldn't  help  but  pat  his  foot 
while  Diane  and  Sue  did  the 
"Charleston"  Sue  could  win  a 
beauty  contest  in  that  classy  dress 
she  was  wearing. 

Have  you  ever  wanted  to  live  in 
the  Dogpatch  community?  Satur- 
day we  were  eye-witnesses  of 
life  in  the  famous  village.  Al  Co- 
vell didn't  look  like  himself  with 
black  hair,  Marilyn,  do  you  like 
him  better  as  a  blonde  or  a  brun- 
ette? Maybe  the  next  time  Earle 
will  pass  around  his  jug. 

Finally,  the  "modern  lover" 
brought  us  back  to  reality.  This 
scene  is  one  often  seen  on  the 
campus  of  Milligan.  The  special 
music  was  enjoyed  by  all. 

From  the  familiar  scene  of  the 
college  set  we  took  a  peek  into 
the  future.  Girls,  how  would  you 
like  a  modern  wedding  with  a 
honeymoon  to  the  moon?  Maybe 
Randy  and  Nancy  will  tell  you 
about  their  ride  in  the  space  ship. 
It  seems  funny  that  Pat  Topping 
was  the  leader  in  the  dance  for 
the  celebration  for  the  newl>'- 
weds.  The  bride  was  beautiful  in 
her  original  broadcloth  space  suit 
with  a  finger-tip  veil  of  illusion. 
The  maid  of  honor  was  attired  in 
a  pale  blue  space  suit  styled  like 
that  of  the  bride.  The  traditional 
jazz  wedding  march  was  played 
by  Miss  Ona  \Veimer  at  the  piano. 

The  traditional  May  Pole  Dance 
was  the  climax  of  the  e\-ents  of 
the  day.  It  was  a"  colorful  scene 
watching  the  ribbons  wind  in  and 
out. 

At  the  close  of  the  activities,  a 
reception  was  held  in  the  parlor 
of  Hardin  in  honor  of  the  Ma)' 
Court.

GOD  ON  THE  COLLEGE^  CAMPUS 

By  RED  WARNOCK 

God  may  be  found  on  the  college  campus  as  He  is  foimd  in  all  of  life's 
situations:  in  private  and  public  worship,  in  reading  the  Bible  and  in 
performing  acts   of  Christian  service. 

These  alone  may  leave  you  cold,  bewildered  or  indifferent.    Therefore, 
.  we  urge  you  to  enter  Milligan  College  determined  to  find  Gqd  as  your 
first  and  best  Friend. 

College  students  are  a  part  of  that  larger  group  in  the  human  race  who 
demand  understanding  and  meaning  in  their  lives.   The  program  of  study/ 
here, at  Milligan  College  is   designed  to  aid  you  in  your  search  for  God 
and  His  teachings,  as  a  basis  for  a  well-rounded  philosophy  of  life.    ■ 

Search  for  God  in  the  discipline  of  study,  for  surely  ignorance,  in  the 
presence  of  opportunity  for  knowledge,  is  a  sin.  It  is  our  obligation  to 
God  to  know  what  is  going  on  in  His  world  and  for  casting  our  weight 
on  the  side  of  justice  and  love.  And  we  can't  begin  to  do  battle  for  right 
until  we  understand  and  recognize  the  enemy. 

W^  urge  you  to  make  use  of  all  religious  facilities  on  and  off  the  cam- 
pus. Direct  your  lives  so  that  you  will  be  a  shining  exafnple  to  all  you 
meet  now  and  in  the  future. 

BEST  WISHES!  HERE  WE  GO! 

To  all  of  you,  Frosh  and  upper  classmen  alike,  a  hearty  welcome  to 
Buffalo's  banks. 

Your  new  acquaintaiices  will  soon  be  old  friends. 
■    Your  _old  friends  will  fill  a  place  in  your  lives  never  to  be  outgrow^i, 
though  you  live  to  be  as  old  as  Methuselah. 

Your  professors  are  interested  in  YOU — for  yourself — not  as  a  unit 
in  mass  producljion.      ' 

Mrs.  Walker  and  myself  count  it  a  privilege  to  have  you  down  at  our 
house — any  hour — for  any  reason — talk,  recreation,  in  groups  or ,  alone. 
Don't  wait  [for  formal  invitations. 

Speak  to  your  neighbor  on  every  meeting  .  .  .  that's-  the  Milligan 
tradition.    You  may  like  him! 

When  you  don't  know — ask. 

See   anyone  lonely?    So   are  you.    Put   the  two.together.    Get   out   on 
the  field.    Ask  Coach  or  Miss  Mynatt  to  give  you  a  work  out..    Join  in 
•  the  activities — whatever  015  wherever. 

And,  after  all,  crack  a  book — work  a  problem — think. 

You  are  on  the  way.    Let's  stay  together.    We'll  arrive.    Best  wishes. 
DEAN  E.  WALKER,  President. 

WELCOME      FRESHMEN! 

By  JOHNNY  BYRD 

This  salutation  may  rightly  seem  a  bit  inappropriate  at  the  present.  I  was 
first  asked  to  write  this  welcome  on  Tuesday,  the  14th  of  September.*  I 
thought  then  it  would  be  all  right,  but  singe  we  have  been  here  together  for 
over  a  week,  I  think  the  necessity  for  a  welcome  has  decreased. 

Why? 

Certainly  not  because  we  are  not  glad  to  have  you  here  with  us.  We  feel 
that  each  of  you  has  added  a  worthy  contribution  to  the  life  here  at  Milligan. 
The  reason  I  think  that  a  formal  welcome  is  not  fitting  now  is  because  you 
have     already    made    yourselves     at 


home.  Yoti  are  entering  into  the  life 
here  in  an  enthusiastic  manner. 

You  have  come  from  different 
states,  from  different  backgrounds, 
from  different  types  of  homes,  with 
different  hopes  and  aspirations  and 
ideals;  but  even  with  these  many  dif- 
ferences, all  of  you  are  fitting  into 
this  distinctive  atmosphere. 


From  all  signs — the  enthusiasm  at 
parties,  the  wonderful  singing  in 
chapel — it  looks  as  if  this  will  be  a 
great  year. 

If,  at  any  time,  you  need  advice, 
encouragement,  or  any  other  help,  feel 
free  to  seek  the  counsel  of  the  faculty, 
the  administration,  the  Student  Coim- 
cil,  or  any  of  the  upperclassmen.  Any-

Speaker. 

"We  live  in  a  crowded  hour  of  life! 
Someone  has  offered  the  startling  ob- 
servation that  our  present  generation 
has  seen  and  made  more  history  than 
any  other  generation  before.  Truly,  our 
times  come  to  us,  reflecting  the  alchemy 
of  many  tremendous  events.  Therefore, 
in  such  a  crowded  hour,  we  are  cojnpell- 
ed  to  7nake  a  choice  as  to  what  shall  be 
crowded  in,  and  what  shall  be  crowded 
out." 

"All  moral  and  spiritual  illumination 
cojfies  from  the  Word  of  God.  Every 
page  in  the  Word  of  God  is  a  landing 
strip  for  the  soub  of  men!  Whe?}  God 
si  involved,  the  battles  of  the  centuries 
are  not  necessarily  won  with  chariots,  or 
planes,  or  bombs."

THE     STAMPEDE 


Page  Three 


Female  Fiddle-F addle 

By   MARTHA   GREEN   AND 
THELMA  SPEER 

I  Timothy  5:13— "And  'withal  they 
learn  to  be  idle,  wandering  about 
from  house  to  house;  and  hot  only 
idle  but  tattlers  and  busy  bodies, 
speaking  things  which  they  ought 
not." 

It  is  good  to  see  that  the  freshmen 
girls  in  Cheek  Hall  are  upholding  the 
Christian  principles  for  which  Milli- 
gan  College  stands.  These  coeds  are 
also  showing  that  they  are  the  most 
recent  to  come  out  of  the  primary 
department  in  Bible  schools  as  'they 
try  to  carry  out  one  of  the  commands 
learned  then:  "Love  one  another." 
Even  though  a  little  over  one  week  of 
school  has  elapsed  the  main  hall  in 
Cheek  Activity  Building  has"  already 
beeruquite  busy  with  activity.  Maybe 
this  is  not  the  activity  tKat  Mr.  J.  O. 
Cheek  expected  to  be  carried  on  but 
if  he  had  known  the  Class  of  '59  girls 
he  would  have  had  a  revised  idea  of 
the  type  of  recreation  expected.  Not 
only' do  the  frosh  believe  in  loving 
onp  another  but  tlie  upper  classmen 
have  also  been  seen  walking  a  few  of 
the  Cheek  Cliff  DweUers  home. 

One  of  the  problems  that  seems  to 
be  arising  at  Cheek  is  the  lack  of 
curtains.  If  anyone  has  any  old  ma- 
terial that  could  be  used,  such  as 
musty  shrounds,  burlap  bags,  hairy 
dog  blankets,  or,  old  blue  gymsuits, 
all-  donations  will  be  freely  thrown 
away.  It  seems  that  the  male  com- 
pany when  on  the  main  floor  have  not 
learned  to  face  away  from  the  top  of 
the  stairs  but  insist  on  turning  away 
from  the  parlor.  (Maybe  the  girls  will 
learn  to  wear  a  few  clothes  in  tra- 
versing the  halls).  Then  comes  the 
dilemna  of  the  curtain-hungry  win- 
dows on  the  Pardee  side  of  the  build- 
ing. We  realize  that  the  boys  will  not 
donate  any  needed  draperies,  but  are 
there  not  some  sympathetic  girls  in 
Hardin? 

Parties  have  started  again  in  Cheek 
even  this  early  in  the  school  year.  A 
popcorn  feasts  kept  quite  a  few  fresh- 
ies  and  an  occasional  upper  class- 
man (who  followed  her  nose)  from 
pangs  of  hunger.  Coffee  was  poured, 
not  by  Mrs.  Van  Snoot,  but  down  the 
drain. 

A  preview  of  the  talent  that  will 
blossom  from  the  freshman  class  was 
given  by  Dianne  Barnes  from  Herrin, 
Illinois,  as  she  sang  in  a  trio  for  the 
first  combined  prayer  meeting. 

Joyce  Wagner  from  Akron,  Ohio, 
gave  a  party  for  the  girls  of  Hardin 
Hall.  Everyone  enjoyed  steaming  hot 
tea  and  fresh  homemade  cookies  that 
melted  in  your  mouth.  (Carol  Hamil- 
ton must  have  robbed  a  bakery.)  At 
the  party  many  of  the  Freshmen  got 
acquainted  with  some  of  the  upper 
classmen.  Some  of  these  were  Lue 
Davies,  Vanessa  Rollins,  Roxie  Hen- 
derson, Mary  Speer,  Jane  Carpenter, 
Anne  Robinson,  Marilyn  Smith,  Shir- 
ley Holthouser,  Jackie  Harrison,  and 
many  others  who  dropped  in  later. 


IT'S  NEW 

The  Crouch  Memoriaf  building  is 
being  remodeled.  A  nice  apartment 
has  been  built  upstairs  for  rent  to  the 
faculty  or  students. 

A   new   reading   machine   has   been 
purchased  and  put  in  the  Ubrary  for 
the  benefit  of  increasing  your  reading  " 
speed  and  comprehension. 

Two  basement  rooms  have  been  re- 
modeled in  Pardee  Hall,  and  the 
shower  room  is  being  remodeled. 

Work  has  begun  on  the  remodeling 
of  the  labs  in  the  ad  building,  especi- 
ally the  chemistry  lab  in  the  base- 
,ment.         • 

The  microscopes  are  being  rebuilt. 

The  fish  pond  on  the  athletic  field 
has  been  fiUed  with  water  again. 

New  electrical  fixtures  are  being 
installed   in  Pardee  Parlors.  , 

The  gym  floor  is  being  refinished. 
It  certainly  will  be  nice  when  the 
job  is  completed. 

Asphalt  tile  has  been  installed  in 
the  lobby  of -Cheek 'Activity  building. 


Stampede  May  Join  Ranks 
Of  The  Intercollegiate  Press 

By  TED  JANEWAY 

The  Stampede^  has  received  an  in- 
vitation to  join  The  Intercollegiate 
Press.  If  we  accept  membership  in 
this  organization,  it  will  enable  The 
Stampede  to  present  news  of  campus 
activities  of  member  colleges  and 
universities  that  will  be  of  general 
collegiate  interest  ot  us  at  Milligan. 

It  is  believed  hy  The  Stampede 
staff  that  we  can  best  serve  Milligan 
by  becoming  a  member  of  The  Inter- 
collegiate Press.  The  purpose  of  a 
college  paper  is  to  present  news  of 
interest  to  students,  alumni,  and  fac- 
ulty, ,ahd  to  promote  the  reputation 
of  the  institution.  The  interests  of 
Milligan  College  are  not  confined  to 
the  campus  alone. 

The  Stampede  is  being  sent  to 
alumni,  colleges,  and  schools  all  over 
the  nation.  The  fact  that  The  Stam- 
pede would  be  a  member  of  The  In- 
tercollegiate Press  would  do  much  to 
increase  the  prestige  of  The  Stam- 
pede, as  well  as  that  of  Milligan  j3ol- 
lege.  By  joining  The  Intercollegiate 
Press,  the  name  of  Milligan  will  reach  . 
more  ears. 

It  is  The  Stampede's  intention  to 
bring  you,  the  students  and  alumni 
of  Milligan  College  a  better  paper 
than  ever  before,  and  to  promote  the 
interests  of  Milligan.  Joining  The  In- 
tercollegiate Press  is  a  step  in  that 
direction.

The  New  Stampede 

No  doubt  you  have  noticed  a  change 
in  The  Stampede.  This  year's  Stam- 
pede will  be  published  semi-monthly

the  hope  of  the  staff  that  new  fore- 
mat  will  be  accepted  by  you,  the 
student  body. 

We  welcome  any  suggestions  that 
will  improve  our  paper. 


Stage  Craft  And 
Dramatic  Clubs  Merge

complete  calendar  of  social  events. 

Anyone  interested  in  joining  this 
club  should  contact  either  Prof.  Niles

lawn  in  the  front  ot  the  new  Stu- 
dent Union  Building.  A  planned  pro-

Student    Council    Sponsors 
Parties 

Freshman  week  started  off  with  a 
bang  Monday  evening  as  the  Student 
Council  entertained  with  a  "get  ac- 
quainted" party  in  Hardin  Parlors. 
Games  were  played  which  gave  each 
one  an  opportunity  to  find  out  the 
name  of  that  good  looking  boy  or 
girl,  he  had  been  wanting  to  laiow. 
After  the  games  everyone  gathered 
around  the  piano  and  learned  a  few 
of  the  Milligan  favorites.  This  was  all 
followed  by  refreshing  drinks  and 
doughnuts. 

Tuesday  evenfng  the  Student  Coun- 
cil entertained  once  again  with  an- 
other informal  gathering.  Jackie  Har- 
rison was  in  charge  of  the  games.  We 
played  "zip-zap,"  had  a  'scavenger" 
hunt,  and  were  entertained  with  an 
accordian  solo  by  Katie  Hand  and  a 
solo"*  by  Carol  Wardle,  accompanied 
by  Anne  Robinson.  Hot  dogs,  potato 
chips,  and  cokes  were  served  in  the 
cafeteria.

'  STUDENT  UNION  TO 
OPEN  SOON!! 

By  RED  WAHNOCK 

The  news  that  the  new  student  un- 
ion building  would  be  open  this  fall 
was  welcome  news  to  everyone.  It 
is  not  definite  as  to  the  opening  date, 
but  it  seems  that  the  arrival  of  the 
kitchen  appliances  is  the  only  thing 
which  might  forestall  the  opening. 

The  beautiful  lighting  system  was 
donated  by  a  former  student  of  MiUi- 
gan  College,  Mr,  J.  M.  Hart,  and  his 
wife,  Pearl.  A  bronze  plaque  has  been 
erected  denoting  this  gift,  and  we 
are  extremely  grateful  to  these  peo- 
ple for  this  wonderful  donation. 

The  history  of  this  construction 
dates  back  to  March  20,  1951.  On  this 
date  President  Dean  Walker  announc- 
ed in  the  chapel  period  a  proposal  to 
erect  a  new  student  union  building 
through  the  use  of  volunteer  student 
labor.  This  announcement  climaxed 
weeks  of  extensive  planning. 

Here  is  the  story  of  the  idea  up  to 
the  point  of  Dr.  Walker's  announce- 
ment: T.  P.  Jones,  then  a  senior,  and 
Randy  Cooper,  then  a  junior,  both  of 
Radford,  Virginia,  had  long  recogniz- 
ed the  need  for  a  student  union  on  the 
-MiUigan  campus.  These  two  came  to 
the  conclusion  that  such  a  building 
could  be  erected  at  a  very  low  cost  if 
the  students  would  be  willing  to  do 
that  part  of  the  construction  which 
would  not  require  skilled  labor. '  To- 
gether they  labored  over  specifica- 
tions and  plans,  with  Randy  drawing 
up  an  exterior  view  and  a  view  of  the 
floor  plans  with  the  tentative  positions 
of  the  equipment  and  furnishings. 

When  these-  plans  were  sufficient- 
ly completed,  they  were  presented  to 
,  Dr.  Walker  for  his  personal  opinion. 
Both  Dr.  Walker  and  the  Board  of 
Trustees  gave  their -whole-hearted  ap- 
proval. On  the  same  morning  of  Dr. 
Walker's  announcement,  the  proposal 
was  approved  by  the  entire  student 
body. 

The  completion  of  a  student-con- 
ceived and  built  student  union  build- 
ing posed  many  problems.  The  great- 
est of  these  was  the  acquisition  of 
adequate  financial  and  material  aid 
to  insure  that  such  an  enterprise 
could  soundly  begin  and  be  comp^<;ted; 
for  a  half-completed  building  would 
scar  both  the  appearance  of  the  cam- 
pus and  the  hearts  of  those  students 
to  whom  the  dream  had  become  so 
vivid. 

Since  that  time  the  student  union  . 
building  has  encountered  many  ob- 
stacles but  through  the  untiring  ef- 
forts of  many,  especially  Professor  S. 
J.  Hyder,~the  dream  has  become  a 
reality.  It  is  now  for  us,  those  who 
will  return  here  for  the  rest  of  our 
college  careers,  to  enjoy  the  fruits  of 
a  dream  of  those  who  unselfishly  gave 
their  time  and  efforts,  realizing  that 
they  themselves  would  not  be  here  as 
students  to  enjoy  it. 

We,  the  students  of  Milligan,  \vish 
to  offer  our  gratitude  to  those  who 
helped,  contributed,  and  prayed  that 
we  might  have  this  addition  to  our 
campus.

No.  2 


Milligan   Convocation  Held  September   23rd 

Principal  Haddon  Of  Neiv  Zealand  Speaker 

By   BABBARA  WILLIAMS   and  EUNICE   COMPTON 

The  fall  Convocation  of  MiUigan  College  took  place  at  seven-ithirty  Thurs-

Campus 
Epidemic  .(?)  On  Milligan 

By  RED  WARNOCK 

Last  week  an  epidemic  broke  out 
on  the  Milligan  campus.  A  disease' 
called  "infantile  regression"  started 
abruptly  Monday  morning  at  6:30 
a.m.^  and  ended,  without  any  medical 
treatment,  at  10:00  p.m.,  Wednesday., 
Professor  Fife,  psychology  professor, 
was  quick  to  diagnose  the  cas?  and 
declared  it  not  too  dangerous.  He  says 
that  infantile  regression  is  a  complex  ■ 
from  which  upperclassmen  suffer  who 
feel  themselves  so  inferior  to  fresh- 
men that  they  are  forced  to  humiliate 
them  in  order  to  feel  equality. 

If  you  ares  so  slow  as  to  catch  the 
gist  of  the  preceeding  paragraph,,  it 
is  merely  a  highfalutin'  way  of  say- 
ing Freshman  JWeek  started  at  Milli- 
gan last  week.  After  a  long  session 
and  much  debate  the  Student  Coun- 
cil voted  the  regulations  for  its  con- 
trol so  as  to  prevent'  any  injury  to 
anyone,  physically  or  mentally. 

On  Wednesday  morning  the  fresh- 
men presented  a  talent  show  that  is 
still  iDeing  talked  about.  It  was  very 
well  done  and  provided  the  utmost 
in  entertainment.' 


Macbeth  Rides  Again 

On  the  night  of  August  22  an  event 
took  place  which  remain  highlighted 
in  the  minds  of  MiUigan  students  for 
a  long  time  to  come— the  presenta- 
tion of  Macbeth  by  the  touring  Bar- 
ter Theatre  of  Virgmia. 

Making  good  use  of  all  the  dramatic 
genius   of   William   Shakespeare    and 


strains  of  Pomp  and  Circiunstance. 

A.L.  Haddon,  speaker  for  the  eve- 
ning, is  principal  of  the  College  of  the 
Bible,  Glen  Leith,.  New  Zealand,  and

came  up  with  a  brilliant  interpreta- 
tion of  the  time-honored  Macbeth. 
What  they  lacked  in  scenery  they 
more  than  made  up  for  with  their  ex- 
cellent stage  performance. 

The  play  was  directed  by  Owen 
-Phillips,  with  Albin  Aukerland  doing 
an  ingenious  job  with  the  lighting. 
The  setting  and  eostumes  were 
handled  by  Mack  Statham  and  Tom 
McKeehan,  respectively.  Taking  the 
parts  of  the  three  witches  were  Tom 
McKeehan,  Dorothy  LaVerne  and 
Frederick  Combs!  Macbeth  and  Ban- 
quo  were .  played  by  Paul  Lukather 
and  Seymour  Salamanowitz,  respec- 
tively, while  Jennie  Davis  took  the 
part  of  Lady  .jMacbeth.  Duncan  was 
played  by  Owen  Phillips,  Macduff  by 
Lauren  Farr,  Malcolm  by  Tom  Bur- 
rows, and  Donalbain  by  George  Spel- 
vin.  Playing  smaller  roles  were  Na- 
thaniel Doolittle  as  a  porter,  Fred-

lins, as  Flenance,  Tom  McKeehan  as  a 
doctor,  and  Dorothy  LaVern  as  a

THE     STAMPEDE 


Wednesday,  October  13,  1954. 


Hardin  Holler 

Greetings  from  Hardin  Hall!  There's 
a  feeling  of  fall  and  Freshman  Week 
in  the  air.  Among  the  little  creatures 
in  Hardin  are  Roxy  Henderson,  Joyce 
Wagner,  Thelma  Speer,  Melissa  Mc- 
Kinley,  Ginny  Harris,  Helen  Childers, 
BiUie  Blankenship,  Phyllis  Wright, 
and  many  others. 

Since  the  year  has  just  begun  not 
many  new  couples  are  seen  playing 
checkers  (?).  However,  the  old  faith- 
fuls are  still  around,  such  as  Helen 
Lewis  and  Jim  Hawes,  Roberta  Dick 
and  Glenn  Cunningham,  Pat  Reitzel 
and  Bill  Casteel,  and  Jieanette  Brown 
and  Ken  Hanks. 

On  Wednesday  night,  September  29, 
about  ten  o'clock.  Freshman  Week 
was  officially  over.  The  "frolics"  were 
ended  "With  a  party  in  the  Student 
Union  with  cokes  and  donuts  for  all. 
As  a  special  treat  Jackie  Harrison 
and  Barbara  Williams  entertained  ev- 
eryone by  "jumping"  in  the  fishpond. 

Pat    Masters    had    an    out-of-town, 
guest  over  the  weekend  of  September 
25.    They  teU  me  his  name  was  Bill 
Holland;  he,  I  understand,  is  a  very 
good  friend  of  Pat's. 

Do  you  know  that  Carol  Wardle  is 
going  to  move  her  clothes  and  bed 
to  the  telephone  booth?  It  seems 
Carol  gets  so  many  long  distance  calls 
from  a  certain  young  man  that  slie's 
worn  a  path  from  her  room  to  the  ^ 
phone  booth. 

As  the  weekend  approaches  Marcy 
Williams  is  eagerly  awaiting  the  ar- 
rival of  her  boy  friend  from  home  to 
whisk  her  away  to  Virginia  for  a  ti^o 
days'  vacation. 

Pre-Med  Club 

Friday,  September  24,  found  all  old 
and  new  members  of  the  Pre-Med 
Club  at  Professor  Sisk's.  What  was 
the  big  attraction?  Why  food,  of 
course,  and  what  could  be  better  than 
a  hamburger  fry  over  an  outdoor 
grill.  Not  only  hamburgers  were  ser- 
ved, but  aU  the  trinmiings:  relishes, 
cheese,  baked  beans,  potato  salad,  tea, 
lots  of  coffee,  apple  pie,  and  roasted 
marshmallows.  If  you  have  been 
wondering  what  the  pre-med  students 
have  been  talking  about,  it  was  the 
wonderful  food  and  fu^i  they  had  at 
their  first  party. 

The  second  meeting  of  the  Pre-Med 
Club  did  not  prove  to  be  much  fun 
for  the  new  members. 

If  you  happened  to  pass  the  biology 
lab  Monday  evening,  October  4,  and 
heard  loud  moans  it  was  only  the 
new  members  being  initiated.  If 
you've  never  tasted  a  green  persim- 
mon, just  ask  Julie  Green,  Gorda 
Crowder,  or  Yvonne  Bowman  how  it 
is.  Hasque  Peters,  Bob  Cox,  Gene 
Stevenson  and_'Don  Showalter  had 
quite  a  time  chewing  saltine  crackers 
and  whistling. 

Those  helping  with  the  initiation 
were  Ken  Hanks,  Jim  Hamilton,  Ray- 
mond ICisner,  Kitty  Wert,  Gracie 
Lambert,  and  Professor  Sisk. 

The  Pre-Med  Club  meets  every 
second  Tuesday  of  the  month.  The 
officers  for  the  year  54-55  are  Jim 
Hamilton,  president;  Dick  Barton, 
vice  president;  and  Kitty  Wert,  secre- 
tary and  treasurer.

SPORTS  -  ITORIAL 

By  PHIL  BRADFORD 

Long,  long  ago,  when  America  was  just  a  baby,  and  the  great  plains  were 
stiU  plain,  there  lived  the  strongest  and  bravest  of  all  buffaloes.  'This  buffalo 
had  an  immense  and  powerful  body  with  eyes  like  two  balls  of  fire.  When  he 
moved  his  feet,  the  vejy  earth  shook  beneath  him.  His  strength  surpassed  even 
that  of  the  legendary  Babe,  of.Paul_Buny,an  fame,  although,  of  course;  this 
buffalo  is  no  bull. 

This  was  also  a  very  wise  animal,  and  in  the  course  of  the  pioneer  travel 
westward,  he  became  curious  as  to  the  origin  of  these  strange  creatures  which 
were  increasingly  traveling  the  plains.  Being  young  and  full  of  curiosity,  he 
set  out  in  the  direction  from  which  these  strange  animals  seemed  to  be  com- 
ing. Now  being  the  wise  buffalo  that  he  was,  he  decided  that  the  best  place 
for  him  to  go  would  be  in  that  direction  where  the  fewest  creatures  were 
coming  from,  since  that  would-logically  be  the  best.  Finally  he  started  "hoof- 
ing-it'  straight  East.  Picking  up  the  queer-sounding  language  as  he  went,  he 
could  converee  with  just  about  anyone. 

Being  so  wise  already,  and  growing  wiser  as  time  went  on,  he  knew  that 
he  could  not  roam  forever.  One  day  in  the  course  of  his  travels  he  happened 
on  some  acreage  in  what  we  know  now  as  eastern  Tennessee,  and  is  supposed 
to  have  uttered  these  words:  "I'U  never  have  to  mill  again;"  from  which^the 
present  name  of  Milligan  is  derived.  Rushing  to  the  proper  authorities,  he 
was  granted  title  to  this  piece  of  land,  and  soon  began  to  feel  at  home. 

Because  he'  was  so  wise,  he  naturally  saw  the  ignorance  of  the  humans 
around  him,  for  no  one  could  even  approach  the  wisdom  of  this  wisest  of  all 
living  creatures.  Finally  he  established  Milligan,  where  he  sought  in  a  small 
way  to  educate  those  humans  who  were  wise  enough  to  want  to  learn. 

Now  being  the  large  and  powerful  buffalo  that  he  was,  he  needed  daily 
exercise  to  keep  his  immense  body  in  good  condition.  At  first  he  did  this  by

"Let  Gratitude  Not  Be  An  Incident 


?? 


By  RED  WARNOCK 

In  the  last  two  chapters  of  the  Book  of  Acts,  we  read  of  Paul's  journey 
to  Rome  as  a  prisoner.  On  the  way,  he  was  shipwrecked  with  the  loss  of  all 
possessions,  but  without  loss  of  lite.  In  this  situation  we  read  that  Paul 
thanked  God  and  took  courage."  When  the  night  was  .darkest,  when  a  prison 
term  and  possibly  execution  were  facing  him,  instead  of  complaining,  he 
thanked  God  and  took  courage. 

Today,  some  people  ask,  "What  have  I  to  be  thankful  for?"  We  can  be 
thankful  for  the  church  and  for  what  it  is  doing  to  relieve  the  pain  -and  suf- 
fering in  God's  world.  We  can  be  thankful,  in  the  midst  of  turmoil  and  con- 
flict, that  many  are  earnestly  giving  themselves  in  the  consecrated,  devoted 
service  of  the  Lord. 

As  I  was  reading  in  a  magazine  the  other  day,  I  read  of- a -family  at 
mealtime.  The  children  having  dipped  too  heavily  into  the  serving  plate  were 
cautioned  by  the  father,  "Look  on..your  plate."  This  is  wise  counsel  for  us 
who  pray.  Instead  of  asking  God  for  more  and  more,  we  should  take  note  of 
what  we  already  have.  There  is  wisdom  in  the  Psalmist's  reminder,  "Bless 
the  Lord,  O  my  soul,  and  forget  not  all  his  benefits."  The  number  of  benefits 
are  limitless,  but  among  them  are  the  beauty  and  fruitfulness  of  the  out-of- 
doors,  the  lov£  and  companionship  of  famUy  and  friends,  the  functioning  of 
the  marvelous  mechanism  of  our  bodies.  We  have  today  many  benefits  which 
were  unknown  to  the  Psalmist.  Consider  the  advance  in  the  fields  of  medicine, 
scientific  research,  transportation,  and  communication.  All  these  show  how 
much  more  we  sing  today  "Bless  the  Lord,  O  my  Soul,  and  forget  not  all  his 
benefits."  Happiness  sings  in  the  soul  which  can  thank  God  each  day.  If  we 
had  no  other  reason  for  thanldng  God,  we  could  thank  Him  for-each  new  day. 
Who  other  than  God  is  entitled  to  or  worthy  of  the  praise  of  J3ur  hearts?  Is  it 
not  from  Him  that  we  receive  kindness,  care,  protection,  shelter,  food,  and 
Life?  God's  greatness  is  worthy  of  praise.  His  love  SB  a  Father  deserves  our 
worshipping  Him  each  day.  God  deserves  our  praise  even  at  the  hour  when 
sorrow  "knocks,  at  our  doors  and  when  our  lives  are  tested.  It  is  then  that 
we  feel  His  presence  fortifying  and  inspiring  us.  The  experience  of  Job  is  a 
marvelous  experience.  In  the  hour  of  greatest  abandonment,  of  greatest  lone- 
liness and  suffering,  he  was  yet  faithful  to  God  and  would  not  spurn  Him. 

The  health  of  our  souls,  as  well  as  our  bodies,  demands  tliat  each  day  we 
lift  to  Him  hymns  of  thanksgiving. 

Our  daily  thought  should  be,  "Let  gratitude  not  be  an  incident,  but  an 
attitude  of  Life." 


Reception  At  Hopwood 

By  EUNICE  COMPTON 

Tuesday  night,  September  21,  an  in- 
formal reception  was  held  in  the  base- 
ment of  the  Hopwood  Memorial  Chris- 
tian Church.  The  purpose  of  the  re- 
ception was  to  help  the  students  to 
become  acquainted  with  the  members 
of  the  Church. 

The  meeting  was  opened  with  Pro- 
fessor Fairbank's  leading  the  group 
in  singing  the  hymn,  "Onward  Chris- 
tian Soldiers."  A  welcome  address 
was  then  given  by  John  Neth,  Jr., 
minister  of  the  Church.  Professor 
Fairbanks  then  led  the  group  in  a 
medley  of  old  favorites  which  con- 
sisted of:  "Down  by  the  Old 
MiU  Stream,"  and  "Let  Me  Call  You 
Sweetheart."  He  'was  accompanied 
by  Gale  Shepard. 

Jim  Devault  and  Randy  Osborne 
played  a  delightful  medley  of  songs 
with  Jim  playing  the  ukele  and  Randy 
on  the  banjo.  The  medley  consisted 
of  "Dear  John,"  "Lovely  Night,"  "Sam 
the  Old  Accordion  Man;"  and  "Please 
Don't  Talk  About  Me  When  I'm 
Gone."  Two  solos  were  sung  by  Miss 
Donna  Andre:  They  were  "ItaUan 
Street  Song,"  and  "Summertime." 
She  was  accompanied  by  John  von 
Spreckelsen.  An  accordion  solo  was 
played  by  Mrs.  Pat  Hand. 

Refreshments  of  pimch  and  cookies

at  the  conclusion  of  the  program.    .

Tennis  Team  Fapes  Good 
Season;  2, Matches  Set 

'  At  this  writing,  the  prospects  for  a 
a  successful  season  look  mighty  good 
for  the  MiUigan  tennis  team.  Two 
matches  with  King  CoUege  of  Bristol 
have  been  tentatively  set  for  the  14th 
and  25th  of  October.

der is  kept  open  all  year,  so  that  at 
any  time  a  player  may  chaUenge  one 
or  two  positions  abov?  him,  and,  it 
he  wins,  thus  advance  his  position  on 
the  team.  "    ,

himself,  but  after  a  time  found  that  it  was  more  fun  romping  with  some  of 
t-he  humans  who  he  taught.  After  bringing  the  games  down  to  their  mental 
level,  he  organized  them  into  teams  and  taught  them  to  play  against  each 
other.  As  time  went  on,  humans  went  away  from  MiUigan  and  established 
other  colleges,  and  so  a  system  of  inter-coUegiate  sports  was  brought.  There 
were  many  games  played  by  the  MiUigan  buffalo  and  his  followers — basket- 
ball, baseball,  tennis,  track,  and  swimming  were  only  a  few,  and  sometimes 
even  football  entered  the  picture.  — 

Each  game  came  to  have  its  own  particular  season,  and  lo,  these  many 
years  have  passed  with  the  buffalo  and  his  friends  still  going  strong.  They  don't 
always  win,  for  it  is  an  oft-taught  lesson  that  those  who  are  taught  some- 
times excel  the  teacher,  but  they  are  always  to  be  found  in  the  middle  of 
things,  fighting  their  hearts  out  for  the  MiUigan  Buffalo,  and  that's  no  buU, 
either,  , 

To  some,  the  MiUigan  Buffalo  will  never  grow  old,  to  others  he  is  already 
dead,  and  to  still  others,  he  is  a  living  symbol  of  all  they  believe,  growing 
stronger  as  the  year  pass.  But  it  is  certain  that  every  year  he  can  be  found 
roaming  his  old  grounds,  looking  for  competition,  and  fighting  hard  when  he 
finds  it.  Sometimes  he's  over  at  Cheek,  sometimes  on  the  tennis  courts  or 
Anglin  Field,  but  always  in  the  hearts  of  those  who  foUow  him,     - 

How  will  he  do  this  year?  No  one  is  certain,  not  even  the  MiUigan  Buffalo 
himself,  although  his  best  is  always  the  goal.  How  will  you  do  this  year? 
That's  not  certain  either,  but  how  about  following  the  MiUigan  Buffalo,  and 
doing  it  his  way?   You'll  come  out  on  top,  if  only  in  your  heart.

Twirp  Week 


"On  Top  Of  Old  Smoky"  Is  Theme 
Song  Of  142  Milligan  Students 

By  JIM  BUCKLES 

For  two  weeks  there  had  been  much  talk  about  the  Smoky  Mountain  trip, 
an  annual  affair  taken  by  the  students  of  Milligan .  College  during  the  fall 
season.  Monday,  October  18,  was  that  day.  The  students,  after  having  break- 
fast and  getting  the  lunches  which  had  been  prepared-for  them,  were  ready 
to  stal-t  the  all-day  trip.  At  eight  o'clcok  four  buses  left  the  campus  with  ap- 
proximately 142  people  aboard.  It  wasn't  long  until  the  singing  started,  and 
for  the  most  part,  this  continued  throughout  the  day. 
At  11:15  a.  m.,  we  arrived  in  Gatlinburg,  our  first  stop.  We  regretted  hav- 
ing to  leave  one  of  our  students  who 
had  become  ill  during  the  ride.  The 
doctor  stated  that  she  would  soon  be 
able  to  travel  again,  but  at  that  time 
she  was  unable  to  continue  the  trip 
with  us.  We  ate  lunch  in  Gatlinburg, 
and  afterwards  we  visited  shops, 
bought  souvenirs,  and  took  in  all  the 
sights. 

We  were  soon  traveling  agaip,  this 
time  on  our  way  up  the  mountains. 
The  scenic  mountains  were  beautiful  _ 
to  look  upon  and  cameras  clicked ' 
away,  capturing  some  of  this  beauty. 
Three  bears,  living  in  their  natural 
habitat,  added  to  the  interest  of  the 
trip.  This  was  the  first  time  some  of 
the,  students  had  ever  seen  a  live 
bear.  We  were  allowed  a  few  min- 
utes at  Newfound  Gap  and  then  we 
went  on  to  the  top  of  the  mountains, 
Clingman's  Dome.  This  was  as  far  as 
the  buses  could  take  us,  so  the  ma- 
jority of  the  crowd  decided  to  hike  on 
to  the  top.  On  the  highest  peak,  an- 
other "first"  for  some  of  our  students 
seeing  snow  for  the  first  time  in  their 
lives.  After  the  hike  we  were  on  our 
way  back  down  the  mountains,  stop- 
ping at  Cherokee  where  we  visited 
the  Indian  Reservation.  Some  of  the 
Indian  customs,  such  as  the  carrying 
of  the  papoose  on>the  back  of  the 
squaw,  were  witnessed  by  the  stu- 
dents. More  souvenirs  were  bought, 
and  then  we  began  to  get  hungry 
again.  By  6:00  p.  m.  we  were  in  Ashe- 
ville.  North  Carolina,  where  we  ate 
our  supper.  Most  of  the  students  ate 
at  either  the  Chinese  Restaurant  or 
the  S  &  W  Cafeteria. 

It  was  in  AshevUle  that  we  realized 
that  we  liad  left  two  of  our  students . 
on  top  of  Clingman's  Dome.  After  a 
few  phone  calls,  we  learned  that  they 
had  made  their  way  back  do\vn  to 
Gatlinburg  and  then  Coach  Walker 
drove  and  got  them. '  After  our  stay 
in  AsheviUe,  we  were  on  our  way 
back  to  Milligan. 

The  trip  was  thoroughly  enjoyed 
by  everyone.  For  the  majority  of  the 
group,  especially  the  freshmen,  it  was 
a  new  experience;  for  others  it  was  a 
renewal  of  appreciated  experiences 
that  one  can  get  only  by  taking  such 
a  trip  as  this.  Fall  was  nearing  its

Gills,  I  hope  all  of  you  were  on  the 
ball  last  week.  Did  you  ask  that  cute 
boy  who  sits  beside  you  in  English 
for  a  date?  If  you  didn't,  I'm  afraid 
you  passed  up  the  chance  of  a  life- 
time! 

Many  of  the  girls  did  take  this  op- 
portunity to  have  loads  of  fun,  and  I 
saw  a  number  of  them  with  their 
dates  on  the  Smoky  Trip.  There  was 
Lee  Moothart  and  Wesley  Umburger 
taking,  pictures  on  top  of  "Old 
Smoky." 

Did  you  ever  see  anyone  spread  a 
picnic  lunch  on  the  main  street  of 
town?  Well,  that's  what  I  saw- Lauretta 
Pluskiss  and  Ken  Baker,  and  Margie 
Ewbaiik  and  Bill  Byrd  doing  in  Gat- 
linburg. These  gals  and  guys  were 
having,  lunch  in  style!  Alice  Tyrell 
and  Bob  Van  Buren  seemed  to  be 
having  a  good  time  along  with  Libby 
Warnick  and  John  Von  Spreckelson.  , 

Last .  Tuesday  night,  .  the  men  of 
Pardee  had  a  visitor  who  was  very 
inquisitive,  namely  me.  I  learned

day evening,  October  5,  1954.  This  im- 
pressive -service  may  well  be  con-

worthy  activities  of  the  college  year

organ  prelude  played  by  Miss  Ona

The    STAMPEDE    Staif    sincerely    regrets    the    necessity    of    having    to 
print  the  following  letter — the  resignation  of  the  Editor-in-Chief.  " 

October   19,   1954. 
To  the  Stampede  Staff: 

In  order  that  I  might  continue  my  schooling,  it  was  necessary  for  me  to 
obtain  employment  off  campus  again  this  year.  This  work  along  with  my 
studies  takes  the  larger  part  of  my  time.  Therefore,  I  am  forced  to  resign 
as  Editor-in-Chief  of  the  Stampede.  This  has  been  a  hard  decision  to  make 
but  I  feel  that  all  concerned  will  be  benefited  as  I  can  not  spend  the  neces- 
sary time  to  put  forth  the  work  and  effort  the  job'  requires. 

I  hope  that  aU  of  you  will  continue  to  give  my  successor  the  best  of  support 
like  you  have  given  me. 

Sincerely, 

LAKIN  ''RED"  WARNOCK. 

As  yet,  the  election  to  select  a  new  Editor-in-Chief  has  not  been  held. 
The  results  of  the  election  will  be  posted  as  soon  as  results  are  known.

Miligan  Faculty  Entertained 
By  Mrs.  Carla  Keys 

Mrs.  Carla  Keys  ehtertained  the 
MUligan  College  Faculty  Club  at  her 
home  on  East  Watauga  Avenue  on 
•   Thursday  evening,   October   14. 

At  the  request  of  the  club,  Mrs. 
Keys,  a  trustee  of  the  coUege,  gave  an 
account  of  her  recent  trip  to  Europe 
and  the  Near  East.  She  was  one  of  a 
group  of  American  press  and  radio 
executives  who  made  a  tour  of  four- 
teen foreign  nations.  Mrs.  Keys  re- 
counted the  visits  to  these  countries, 
particularly  her  meeting  and  enter- 
tainment by  President  Adenauer  of 
Germany,  the  Shah  of  Iran,  the  King 
and  Queen  of  Greece,  and  Marshall 
Tito  of  Yugoslavia.  She  mentioned 
that  the  highlight  of  her  trip  was  see- 
ing the  Peacock  throne  in  Iran.  Mrs. 
Keys  has  made  an  extensive  collec- 
I  tion  of  Associated  Press  photographs, 
foreign  newspapers,  and  souvenirs  il- 
lustrating some  unique  opportunities 
granted  to  the  party  during  the  trip. 

Following  the  program,  refresh- 
ments were  served  to  the  club.  Mrs. 
Dean  E.  Walker  and  Mrs.  Keys  pre- 
sided at  the  tea  table.  Autumn  flow- 
ers were  arranged  in  the  reception, 
dining,  and  living  rooms.  The  tea 
table  centerpiece  was  an  arrangement 
of  chrysanthemums.  The  candelabra 
were  lighted  with  yellow  tapers. 

The  faculty  club  elected  for  the 
year  Dr.  Henry  Webb  as  president, 
Constance  Mynatt  as  secretary-treas- 
urer, and  Mrs.  Duard  Walker  as  pro- 
gram chairman.  Members  of  the  club 
who  attended  the  meeting  were  Pres- 
ident and  Mrs.  Dean  E.  Walker,  Dean 
and  Mrs.  Guy  Oakes,  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Ray  Stahl,  Professor  and  Mrs.  S.  J. 


Radio  Programs 

The  people  of  the  Tri-Cities  area 
are  kept  informed  of  the  activities  of 
the  students  and  administration  of 
Milligan  by  means  of  a  weekly  radio 
program  over  radio  station  WETB, 
Johnson  City.  "Milligan  College 
Speaks"  is  heard  every  Monday  after- 
noon at  5:30;  during  the  winter 
months,  the  program  is  usually  heard 
at  4:30  p.  m. 

"Milligan  College  Speaks"  is  de- 
signed to  acquaint  the  listening  audi- 
ence with  the  programs,  events,  and 
activities  of  Milligan  College.  The 
broadcasts  range  from  sermons  to 
programs  of  general  informative  na- 
ture. It  is  stressed  that  MiUigan  is 
an  institution  of  Christian  principles 
and  ideals.  It  is  the  intent  of  these 
broadcasts  to  let  the  people  know 
what  goes  on  af  Milligan. 

Many  of  the  broadcasts  present  the 
individual  talents  of  students,  or  en- 
semble groups.  Some  programs  are 
interviews  of  students  and  faculty, 
others  are  discussions  of  the  histori- 
cal back  ground  of.  Milligan.  The 
theme  of  the  broadcast  is  the  edu- 
cational concepts  and  purpose  of  Mil- 
ligan. 

Mr.  John  W.  Neth.  Jr.,  Librarian  of 
Milligan,  has  been  in  charge  of  the 
program  since  the  fall  of  1953.  Mr. 
Neth  is  being  assisted  by  John  Von 
Spreckelson  and  Donna  Andre,  dur- 
ing the  term  of  1954-55.

Active  Agenda  Ahead  For 
Milligan  Musical  Groups 

By  TED  JANEWAY 

During  the  first  semester  of  the 
1954-55  year,  the  mijsical  organiza- 
tions of  MiUigan  CoUege  wiU  have  an 
active  schedule  under  the  leadership 
of  Miss  Ruth  E.  White,  Miss  Ona  R.  . 
Weimer,  and  Miss  Gloria  Gaddis. 

Television  programs  are  already 
underway,  and  wiU  continue  to  be 
viewed  each  Friday  afternoon  at  4:15 
to  4:30.  These  programs  wiU  include 
the  "Millettes" — the  girls  trio,  and  the 
"Gospelaires" — the  male  quartet.  Al- 
so appearing  on  the  TV  program  wiU 
be  vocal  soloists,  instrumental  soloists,  ' 
or  other  ensemble  groups. 

Once  each  monrn,  in  addition  to 
the  regular  Friday  afternoon  program, 
a  30-minute  program  will  be  viewed 
late  in  the  evening. 

The  Choirs  wUl  be  working  for 
concerts  this  semester;  each  choir  wiU 
have  its  own  responsibilities,  in  sep- 
arate concerts. 

The  climax  of  the  semester's  ac- 
tivities will  be  the  annual  Christmas 
Pageant,  in  which  the  choirs  and 
other  musical  talent  will  join  hands. 

Many     musical    groups    leave    the  , 
campus  each  week  to  serve  churches 
and    other   organizations   in  the   'Tri- 
,Cities  area.    , 

The  activities  of  the  musical  groups 
on  campus  should  be  even  a  greater 
success  than  in  past  years  with  the 
large  amount  of  talent  that  i^  in  the 
Freshman  class  this  year. 

The  TV  programs  and  Chapel  solos    . 
are  only  a  sample  of  the  good  things 
in  music  yet  to  come.

Physical  Education  Club 

The  Physical  Education  Club  of 
Milligan  College  promises  to  be  one 
of  the  most  active  groups  in  the 
school,  if  it  continues  to  grow  as  it 
has  already  this  year.  The  club  is 
composed  of  all  those  students  magor- 
ing  or  minoring  in  any  phase  of  physi- 
cal education  who  want  to  associate 
themselves  with  such  a  group.  Their 
regular  meetings  are  held  every  Wed- 
nesday evening  at  6:00  p.  m.,  in  the 
Administration  Building. 

Elected  as  club  officers  for  this 
school  year  were  Don  Williams  as 
president,  Duard  Aldridge  as  vice- 
president,  Dianne  Walker  as  secre- 
tary, and  Alice  Jermyn  as  treasurer. 
Chosen  as  sponsors  of  the  group  were 
Duard  Walker  and  Miss  Constatice 
Mynatt. 

The  Physical  Education  Club  spon- 
sors all  of  the  intramural  sports 
events  which  are  held  here  at  Milli- 
gan. Already  this  year  they  have  had 
the  intramural  football  games  and 
basketball  games.  At  the  present  time 
they  are  cotiducting  a  table  termis 
tournament  and  a  sweetheart  tennis 
tournament.  According  to  President 
Don  Williams,  the  club  is  making 
tentative  plans  to  obtain  moving  pic- 
tures of  some  of  the  more  popular 
sporting  events,  which  will  be  shown 
to  the  whole  school.  This  is  still  in 
the  idea  stage,  however,  so  nothing 
definite  has  been  done. 

With  the  hustle  already  shown  by 
the  Phys.  Ed.  Club  this  year,  they 
are  certain  to  become  a  successful  or- 
ganization. Here's  wishing  them  the 
best  of  luck  in  this,  the  1954-55 
school  year!!

The  feel  of  fall  is  in  the  air  these  days,  and  perhaps  you've  noticed'a  few 
tennis  balls  floating  around  too.  For  the  first  time,  fall  tennis  is  being  played

SPORTSITORIAL 

By  PHIL  BRADFORD 

Parodying  a  well-known  line  from  Gilbert  and  Sullivan,  one  might  weU  say 
that  "a  manager's  life  is  not  a  happy  one."  This  would  be  none-the-less  true  if 
transferred  from  Broadway  to  MiUigan,  for  the  job  of  any  kind  of  a  manager  is 
just  plain,  hard  work,  with  little  visible  satisfaction  to  offset  it.  I  can  speak 
from  experience  about  the  work,  for  I  was .  the  manager  of  my  higii  school 
basketbaU  team  for  a  year  —  and  one  year  was  enough. 

You  might  question  me  and  say,  "Just  who  is  MiUigan's  basketball  man- 
ager? What  does  he  do  and  why  does  he  do  it?  What  does  h»  get  out  of  it 
anyway?"  If  you  stopped  to  think  about  it,  these  and  other  questions  might 
come  to  your  mind. 

First  of  aU,  Coach  Duard  Walker  has  two  very  able  assistants  in  Manager 
Jack  Leimbach  and  Assistant  Manager  Bill  "Andy'  Anderson. 

As  far  as  the  manager's  job  is  concerned  I  might  give  you  some  idea  of  the 
work  involved  if  I  told  you  of  some  of  the  things  I  did  as  a  high  school  man- 
ager. I  attended  aU  afternoon  and  evening  practice  sessions,  and  was  respon- 
sible for  aU  of  the  equipment.  I  traveled  with  the  team  on  all  their  games 
away  from  home,  and  was  present  at  all  their  home  games.  I  cleaned  basket- 
balls, took  uniforms  to  the  cleaners,  and  walked  the  town  putting  up  posters, 
plus  irmumerable  other  small  jobs  which  came  up  from  day  to  day.  I  usually 
took  a  large  amount  of  ribbing  from  the  players,  too.  I  would  imagine  that 
the  manager's  routine  here  at  Milligan  is  somewhat  the  same,  and  you  must 
take  into  consideration  the  fact  that  all  this  is  in  addition  to  studying  the 
uncouiitable  other  things  which  come  to  plague  even  the  average  student's  life. 

I  mentioned  before  that  there  was  not  much  visible  reward  for  the  hard 
life  which  the  manager  leads.  That,  for  the  most  part,  is  true,  but  there  is  a 
certain  inner  satisfaction  which  comes  from  knowing  that  you  are  taking  a 
lot  of  responsibility  and  doing  a  good  jobr  and  that  you  are  doing  a  service 
for  others  which  doesn't  go  entirely  unnoticed.  There  is  also  that  feeling  of 
"being  in"  on  something  which  few  other  people  know  about.  If  you  are  in- 
terested, you  can  learn  the  game  of  basketbaU  inside  and  out.  3y  being  with 
the  players  almost  every  day  you  can  soon  pick  out  the  good  ones,  and  the 
ones  who  are  "just  there."  "This  is  all  a  part  of  the  personal  satisfaction  that 
you  can  get  out  of  being  a  manager. 

At  this  time  I  would  like  to  express  to  you.  Jack  and  "Andy,"  the  gratitude 
of  the  entire  school  for  the  wonderful  job  which  you  have  done  and  wiU  con- 
tinue to  do.

Kick-Off  Supper 
Given  At  J.  C. 

By  EUNICE  COMPTON 

On  October  6th,  at  6:30.  p.m;,  a  sup- 
per was  given  by  the  First  Christian 
Church  of  Johnson  City  for  the  stu- 
dents of  MilUgan  and  East  Tennessee 
State  Colleges.  The  supper  was  served 
buffet  style  in  the  banquet  room  of 
the  church.  The  room  was  decorated 
with  footballs  for  the  occasion. 

Entertainment  for  the  night  was 
special  music  by  students  of  East  Ten- 
nessee State  College.  Both  school 
songs  were  sung  to  help  the  students 
feel  closer  together. 

After  the  supper  everyone  went  to 
the  auditorium  for'  a  special  service 
which  was  conducted  by  Bill  Deyer, 
a  senior  at  Milligan  College.  'A  spe- 
cial number  was  sung  by  the  choir  of 
the  First  Christian  Church. 

On  behalf  of  the  student  body  of 
Milligan  College  we  should  like  to 
give  a  warm  "Thank  You"  to  the 
members  of  the^  First  Chris,tian 
Church  for  a  very  enjoyable  evening 
at  the  annual  College  Night  supper.

ker from  a  large  candle  in  the  middle 
of  the  table,  and  in  turn  given  to 
President  Dick  Carpenter  who  hand- 
ed them  to  the  old  members.  They 
■  then  gave  light  to  the  candles  of  the 
new  members,  -and  both  the  old  and 
new  members  lined  the  walls  of  the 
auditorium.  Where  once  there  was 
darkness  there 'now  was  light. 

The  candlelighting  service  was  con- 
cluded by  the  singing  of  the  Lord;s 
Prayer  by  John  Von  Spreckelson. 
Then  the  benediction  was  given,  and 
the  recessional  took,  place  while  the

Leggett-Fritts  Vows 

In  a  candlelight  ceremony  on  Sat-

Elizabeth  Fritts  became  the  bride  of 
Marshall  James  Leggett,  minister  of

'  Immediately  following  the  cere- 
mony a  reception  was  given  in  the 
church,  after  which  the  couple  left 
for  a  wedding  trip  to  Florida.  They 
will  make  their  home  in  Canton,  Ohio.

Twirp  Week 

(Conlinued  From  Page  One) 

some  very  interesting  things  while 
talking  to  some  of  the  boys.  Did  you 
know  that  Dave  Poorman,  Gordon 
Ellis,  Dave  Patterson,  and  John  Mills 
had  a  date  every  night? 

David  Sayers  wasn't  dated  up  every 
night,  but  you  girls  surely  did  pre- 
sent a  problem  for  him.  He  had  to 
turn  down  five  dates  for  Thursday 
night.  Jim  DeVault  was  one  of  those 
urifortunate  ones  to  have  a  date  ev- 
ery night  except  one.  Too  bad,  Jim, 
if  you  had  let  it  be  known,  you  prob- 
ably would  have  had  one  that  other 
night. 

The  girls  were  using  their  .  sweet 
little  pointed  heads  last  Wednesday 
night.  They  asked  the  boys  to  din- 
ner, but  did  it  cost  them  anything? 
No,  because  these  smart  little  crea- 
tures had  a  "dinner  party"  right  in 
the  cafeteria.  Among  those  present 
were:"  Jackie  Harrison  and  Jim  Kohls, 
Roxy  Henderson  and  "Flash"  Ellis, 
Lee  Moothart  and  Marvin  Sweeney, 
Thehna  Speer  and  Wesley  Umburger, 
Maggie  Butler  and  Jerry  Kannel  and 
your  reporter  and  Jerry  Hughes. 

While  sitting  out  on  the  front  steps 
of  Hardin  the  other  day,  I  asked  sev- 
eral people  who  passed  what  they 
thought  of  "Twirp  Week."  Here  are 
some  of  the  answers  I  got: 

Bertie  Watson — "I  think  it  gives  a 
girl  a  break." 

Virginia  Harris — "It's  my  one  and 
only  chance." 

John  Mills — "It's  fun." 
-Yyoime  Bowman^"Best  thing  that 
ever  happened  to  Milligan." 

Ronald  Daugherty — "I  think  it's 
loads  of  fun." 

Pat  Topping— "I  think  ifs  a  won- 
derful thing." 

Scott  Bartchy — "I  suppose  it's  O.  K. 
It's  cheaper  anyway." 

Shirley  Holthouser — "It'll  do  in  a 
pinch." 

Now  that  "Twirp  'Week"  is  over 
maybe  things  will  be  normal  again, 
but  it  was  fun  while  it  lasted  as  you 
have  probably  found  out  by  now. 
Just    remember  '  one    thing    though. 


Pardee  Party  Line 

By  KING  KOHL 

This  week  the  big  question  at  Par- 
dee is  "How  many  twirps  have  you 
had?"  This  is  tiie  time  of  the  year  the 
men  don't  have  to  open  doors,  or  pay 
for  show  fares.  We  don't  even  have  to 
help  the  ladies  on  with  their  wraps. 
Yep,  it's  "twirp  paradise" — too  bad 
it's  only  a  week. 

You  all  know  that  long',  cold  walk 
between  Hardin  or  Cheek  and  Par- 
dee? Well,  ordinarily  the  men  are  re- 
quired to  escort  their  ladies  to  their 
dorm  .  .  .  that's  all  banished,  men. 
The  feminine  species  of  Milligan  has 
the  privilege  of  making  that  long, 
hard,  cold,  barren,  and  laborious 
trudge 'through  the  inclement  weath- 
er of  Tennessee  from,  Hardin  or 
Cheek  to  Pardee. 

Yes,  Mom  and  Dad,  this  is  the  week 
of  calls  and  letters  saying,  "Please 
send  more  money — I'm  dating  the 
most  darling  boy!!" 


The  annual  Halloween  party  spon- 
sored by  the  men  of  Pardee  will  be 
held  on  the  29th  of  October.  We'll  see 
you  all  there — let's  live  it  up!!!

FOURTH  ANNUAL  FOUNDER'S  DAY  TO  BE  HELD  NOV.  27 


Faculty    Displays    Talent    (?) 

On  Wednesday  November  3.  the  faculty  presented  an  informal  chapel  pro- 
gram for  the  enjoyment  of  the  student  body.  The  production,  which  was 
under  the  direction  of  Miss  Ona  Ruth  Weimer,  was  given  m  the  form  of  a 
television  program  with  Miss  Turbeville  acting  as  an  announcer. 

Each  member  of  the  audience  was  asked  to  imagine  himself  as  having  the 
initials  J  A.  and  seated  in  front  of  a  television  set  in  a  hall  which  was  not 
named  The  "Wheezin'  Three  and  the  One  Who  Gives  a  Toot  Quartette, 
played  "The  Oakes  Crouched  on  the  Fair  Banks  and  Fifed"  Sonata.  Needless 
to  say,  this  group  was  made  up  of  Messrs.  Fairbanks,  Crouch,  Oakes  and  Fife.

Jared  Reed  Gives  Concert 

On  Thursday  night,  November  18, 
Jared  Reed,  the  well-known  folk 
singer,  gave  a  concert  in  the  audi- 
torium of  Milligan  College. 

Jared  Reed  was-  born  in  South 
Carolina,  and  .was  reared  in  a  family 
-which  has  been  active  for  genera- 
tions in  gathering  and  preserving 
folklore,  but  also  a  family  which  was 
active  in  the  arts  and  all  forms  of 
the  theatre.  This  circle  of  artists  in- 
cluded many  composers  and  musi- 
cians. 

Mr.  Reed  has  been  featured  in  a 
number  of  Broadway  shows,  long  and

Edwards 

then  gave  the  most  athletic  oration 
about  a  woman,  a  man,  and  a  mouse 
that  the  auditorium  has  witnessed  in 
some  time.  His  graceful  presentation 
of  a  real  mouse  to  the  audience  added 
to  the  effect  of  his  oration.  "The 
Thrashing  Three,"  Miss  Gaddis,  Miss 
White,  and  Miss  Weimer  presented 
some  gyrations  not  seen  heretofore  on 
the  Milligan  stage.  The  performance 
undoubtedly  had  something  to  do 
with  the  fact  that  Miss  Gaddis  and 
Miss  Weimer  are  now  serving  as  spon- 
sors of  the  cheerleaders.  Dr.  Owen 
Crouch,  lecturer,  started  out  in  Ten- 
nessee and  ended  up  in  the  Seelbach 
Hotel  in  Kentucky— the  audience

What  Goes  On?  Men 


Of  Pardee  Fight 


Fire   And   Water,  Night  Of   Nov.   15 


An  old  familiar  saying  might  be 
modified  to  read,  "It  didn't  rain,  but 
it  poured."  That  was  certainly  the 
case  on  the  night  of  November  15  in 
Pardee  Hall,  where  a  most  hectic  eve- 
ning was  spent  by  its  occupants. 

Following  an  accident  on  Tennes- 
see 67  which  cut  off  all  the  electricity 
in  the  surrounding  area,  a  small  fire 
broke  out  in  room  307,  on  the  third 
floor  of  Pardee.  Bill  Hall  and  Bill 
Casteel  were  the  victims  of  this  minor 
catastrophe,  which  set  off  a  section 
of  the  sprinkler  system  and  literally 
flooded  part  of  the  third  floor  and 
the  sections  of  the  second  and  first 
floors  below  the  damaged  area. 

The  fire  was  evidently  caused  by 
a  candle,  whicrt  was  left  burning 
when  the  occupants  of  the  room  went 
out  for  the  evening.  Sometime  be- 
tween i0:15  and  10:30  the  occupants 
of  the  adjoining  room  heard  water  ' 
rushing  through  the  sprinkler  system, 
and  when  they  went  out  in  the  hall 
to  investigate,  they  saw  smoke  com- 
ing out  of  307.   A  panel  was  knocked 


out  of  the  door  in  order  to  gain  en- 
trance to  the  room.  Fire  extinguishers 
were  needed  to  completely  put  the 
fire  out,  for  the  sprinkler  was  in  the 
middle  of  the  room  and  the  fire  was 
in  the  corner. 

Most  of  the  damage  was  done  to 
Bill  Casteel's  property;'  with  practi- 
cally all  of  his  books  being  burned, 
and  records  and  a  record  player  be- 
ing completely  destroyed. 

Sam  Elam  and  Jim  Hamilton  were 
the  first  two  to  enter  the  room,  and 
should  very  definitely  be  commended 
for  the-  job  they  did  in  locating  and 
extinguishing  the  blaze,  small  though 
it  may  have  been  at  the  time. 

The  fire  may  have  been  localized, 
but  the  water  from  the  sprinklers 
certainly  was  not.  It  seeped,  or  rath- 
er, poured,  through  the  leaky  floors 
of  Pardee  Hall,  and  some  of  it  even 
found  its  way  into  Coach  Walker's 
apartment.  The  plaster  was  definite- 
ly weakened  in  several  places,  and 
actually  fell  from  the  ceiling  of  one

Celebration  Begun  In  1951 

By  JIM  BUCKLES 

The  Fdunder's  Day  is  an  event 
scheduled  each  year  and  takes  the 
place  of  Homecoming,  since  Milligan 
has  dropped  intercollegiate  football 
from  their  schedule.  Instead  of  a 
Homecoming  Queen,  a  Founder's 
Daughter  is  chosen.  Josephus  Hop- 
wood,  founder  of  MiUigan  College,  is 
a  name  that  is  always  linked  with 
this  event  for  it  is  his  life's  work  that 
is  recalled  by  the  speakers  for  this  , 
occasion. 

Plans  are  being  completed  on  the 
Milligan  campus  for  the  fourth  such 
Founder's  Day,  which  is  to  be  held 
November  27,  1954.  The  faculty  and 
alumni  who  liave  a  part  in  planning 
are  enthusiastic,  much  as  they  were 
in  December,  1951,  when  the  first 
Founder's  Day  was  observed.  George 
KeUey,  editor-in-chief  of  the  Press- 
Chronicle,  and  an  alumnus  of  Milli- 
gan CoUege,  delivered  an  address  on 
the  afternoon  of  December  8,  at 
which  time  David  Sinclair  Burleson, 
now  deceased,  was  hqnored  with  the 
degree  of  Doctor  of  Laws.  A  tea  fol- 
lowed that  afternoon  in  Hardin  Par- 
lor. The  day  was  climaxed  by  a  gala 
banquet  in  the  gynrnasium  for  all 
guests  and  the  entire  faculty  and  stu- 
dent body.  The  feature  of  the  ban- 
quet program  was  a  series  of  toasts 
given  by  President  Walker  and  mem- 
bers of  the  alumni,  of  which  the  fea- 
tured one  was  Federal  Judge  Robert 
L.  Taylor.  Mary  Lou  Oakley  of  Illi- 
nois had  the  honor  of  being  chosen 
the  first  Founder's  Daughter.  '    , 

The  second  Founder's  Day  got  un- 
derway with  a  banquet  -in  the  gym- 
nasium in  November,  1952.  Several 
alumni,  including  Professor  J.  C.  Gil- 
bert, Edwin  Crouch,  Robert  Wilson, 
and  Marshall  Leggetf  delivered 
speeches  praising  the  work  of  Milli- 
gan's  founder  and  expressing  appre- 
ciation of  the  times  they  spent  here. 
Alice  MacDonald  of  Johnson  City  won 
the  title  of  Founder's  Daughter  for 
1952. 

Professor  .E.  E.  Hawkins  of  John- 
son City  was  the  principal  speaker 
here  for  the  third  annual  Founder's 
Day  held  in  the  gymnasium  in  No- 
vember, 1953.  Professor  Hawkins  was 
a  student  at  Milligan  during  the  time 
of  Josephus  Hop\yood  and  recalled 
many  interesting  experiences  he  had 
under  his  administration.  The  high- 
light of  the  banquet  that  evening  was 
the  crowning  ,of  Kitty  Wert,  the 
school  nurse,  as  Founder's  Daughter.

Quartet  Goes 
To  Florida 

JBy  BILLIE  BLANKENSHIP 

During  the  week  of  October  25, 
while  everyone  here  at  school  was 
busy  studying  and  about  to  freeze 
when  it  snowed,  our  wonderful  quar- 
tet was  taking  it  easy  and  having  a 
good  time  down  in  sunny  Florida. 

The  first  night  of  their  trip  was 
spent  in  Jacksonville,  where  they  had 
a  refreshing  swim  also. 

In  Deland,  which  was  their  second 
stop,  they  sang  at  the  First  Christian 
Church. 

The  First  Christian  Church  in  Fort 
Pierce  was  their  third  stop,  where 
they  sang  before  going  on  to  the  con- 
vention. 

They  arrived  in  Miami  gust  in  time 
to  sing  for  the  Evangelistic  meeting 
and  banquet. 

This  was  Jerry  LindeU's  first  op- 


portunity to  see  the  ocean  and  also 
to  taste  salt  water.  He  said,  "Miami  is 
a  fabulous  city,  it  Is  different  from 
anything  I  have  ever  seen." 

The  fifth  stop  the  quartet  made  was 
at  Sarasota.  From  there,  they  went  to 
Lenat,  Alabama,  to  sing  for  a  prayer 
meeting. 

I  asked  Jerry  Wagner  what  he 
thought  of  the  trip,  and  he  said,  "It 
was  terrific."  John  Von  Spreckelson 
said,  "I'm  ready  to  go  again."  So,  all 
in  all,  I  think  the  quartet  thoroughly 
enjoyed  the  trip  and  received  a  bless- 
ing from  it. 


The  fifth  annual  presentation  of 
Handel's  Messiah  will  be  given  on 
Sunday  afternoon,  December  12,  in 
the  Memorial  Gymnasium  at  Tennes- 
see Tech. — Taken  from  The  Tennessee 
Tech  Oracle,  October  1,  1954.

Jim:   "No." 

Bob:  "Suddenly  it  dawned  upon 
him."

WELCOME,  ALUMNI!  ^  ^ 


^ 


We  are  delighted  to  see  you  back  home  at  Milligan.  We  hope,  you  will 
enjoy  your  visit  as  much  as  we  do. 

Some  place  on  the  campus  is  particularly  dear  to  you.  Pay  it  a  visit.  Let 
imagination  people  it  as  jnemory  dictates.  Remember,  for  others  too,  this 
may  be  a  sacred  spot. 

Your  friends  from  days  on  the  Buffalo  banks  are  here.  Many  of  them  want 
to  greet  you.  Take  time  to  talk  beyond  the  question  and  answer  stage — 
catching  up  on  families  and  work.  Amazingly,  the  Milligan  tradition  is  so 
deep  that  you  will  find  your  possession  of  it  enriched  in  exchanging  it.  See 
how  much  alike  you  are  because  of  Milligan. 

New  friends  are  here  on  Buffalo's  banks  awaiting  to  know  you.  They,  too, 
have  the  Milhgan  tradition  in  their  hearts.  Get  acquainted  with  some  of  the 
students.  '  New  members  of  the  faculty  likewise  are  eager  to  know  you. 
You  win  hke  them. 

The  campus  may  change  in  appearance  from  time  to  time.  You  want  it  to 
change.  We  hope  you  will  find  some  improvements.  Life  makes  things  grow. 
Milligan  is  alive.  So,  naturally  the  campus  will  change  some  from  one  year 
to  the  next.  Nevertheless,  the  design  and  purpose  remain  constant  in  physi- 
cal appointments  just  as  they  do  in  the  intellectual  and  spiritual  life  of 
the  college. 

Alumni,  we  are  proud  of  you.  We  like  to  boast  of  your  achievements  and 
your  courage,  and  your  character,  and  the  stamp  of  Milligan  upon  you.  Tell 
us  more  about  yourselves. 

We  are  forging  ahead.  For  example:  oUr  endowment  is  growing.  We  must 
keep  it  growing.   You,  as  alumni, 'have  a  big  stake  in  raising  the  endowment. 

Not  that  money  makes  the  college,  but  without  money  Milligan  cannot  live. 
Money  represents  work.  Work  is  life  expended  in  production.  Endowment 
is  money;  that  is,  work;  that  is,  life, — directed  toward  the  production  of 
other  folk  with  ideals,  knowledge,  and  character  such  as  distinguish  your- 
selves. This  world  needs  more  people  like  you. 

We  regret  we  have  not  as  much  unoccupied  room  to  devote  to  your  com- 
fort as  we  had  in  the  past  years.  You  will  be  glad  of  this  because  it  means 
that  our  facilities  are  crowded  with  students. 

Our  welcome  is '  warm.    Our  admiration  is   high.    Our   comradeship   is 
precious. 

We  hope  you  will  come  often  and  stay  long. 

Alumni  welcome  back  home  to  Milligan.       — DEAN  E.  WALKER,  President.

the  least,  before  they  could  be  re- 
moved from  the  areas  of  leakage. 

As  soon  as  the  fire  had  been  put 
out  and  the  water  shut  off,  the  men 
of  Pardee  pitched  in  with  many  a 
willing  hand  to  clear  the  rooms  and 
halls  of  water.  A  wigmaker  would 
have  gazed  with  envy  at  the  multi- 
tude of  mops  which  could  be  seen.  A 
quantity  of  elbow  grease  was  charged 
up  to  experience,  and  the  floor  could 
even  be  seen  in  spots  when  the  boys 
got  through. 

Prologue  to  a  minor  catastrophe:  as 
confusion  was  descending  from  his 
throne.  Miss  Weimer  could  be  seen 
doing  her  bit  with  a  small  piece  of 
Kleenex,  Miss  Gaddis  and  Carolyn 
Walker  were  wielding  mops  with  the 
best  of  the  men  of  Pardee,  and  that 
old  standby,  Jim  Anderson,  was  in- 
dulging in  his  favorite  pasttime. 
<Guess  what?).  A  sight  like  this  could 
certainly  have  meant  nothing  but  that 
it  was  all  over,  and  time  to  go  to  bed.

Work  On  1955  Buffalo 
Progresses  As  Annual  Staff 
Looks  Toward  Good  Year 

By  January  1,  1955,  approximately 
one  half  of  the  pictures  and  copy  of 
the  1955  BUFFALO  will  have  been 
delivered  to  the  S.  B.  Newman  &.  Sons 
of  Knoxville,  Tennessee,  who  is 
printing  the  annual  for  the  school 
this  year. 

Jackie  Harrison,  Editor-in-chief,  re- 
ports that  individual  class  pictures, 
most  of  the  club  pictures  and  many 
scenery  shots  have  been  made  and  in 
a  few  days  will  be  laid  out  and  made- 
up  according  to  the  lay-out. 

Jim  Buckles,  Business  Manager, 
says  that  the  advertising  campaign 
held.  October  18,  was  quite  a  success. 
The  sixteen  people  wlio  canvassed 
Johnsoji  City  and  Elizabethton, 
brought  in  a  total  of  $^95  in  ads, 
bringing  the  total  to  5510.00.  More 
afternoons  of  selUng  ads  are  planned  - 
which  we  hope  will  bring  our  ad  sales 
to  a  total  of  $800.00,  which  is  the 
amount  called  for  in  our  budget. 

Our  annual  this  year  carries  out  a 
modermstic  theme.  The  covers  have 
been  selected.  So  far  this  project  has 
moved  along  very  smoothly  and  we 
feel  that  the  students  have  cooperated 
very  nicely  in  getting  our  pictures 
made  and  meeting  schedules.  ' 

Knickerbocker  Concert 

One  of  America's  newest  vocal  en- 
sembles was  heard  at  MUligan  Col- 
lege on  Friday,  November  5.  The  pro- 
gram was  given  at  8:00  P.  M.  in  the 
college  auditorium. 

Two  of  the  members  of  this  quar- 
tet come  from"  south  of  the  Mason- 
Dixon  hne,  and  the  other  two  are 
from  New  England. 

Loraine  Donahue,  soprano,  has 
achieved  many  high  goals  in  the  field 
of  music,  including  a  win  on  the 
Arthur  Godfrej'  Show.  She  is  former- 
ly from  New  England  and  has  appear- 
ed on  television  and  given  many  con- 
certs. '-"-'_ 

Richard  Brode,  baritone,  is  from 
the  Louisiana  University  opera  work- 
shop, and  Tanglewood.  He  was  a  win- 
ner of  both  the  Baton  Rouge  and  New 
Orleans  Opera  Guild  scholarships 
Last  year  he  appeared  in  the  New 
York  production  of  the  opera,  "East- 
ward in  Eden." 

Ruth  Pitts,  alto,  is  from  North  Care- 
Una.  She  has  divided  her  time  be- 
tween opera,  television,  summer  stock 
and  club  work.  In  1951  Miss  Pitts  ap- 
peared with  the  Rodgers  and  Ham- 
merstein  shovv,  and  she  has  been  with 
Fred  Waring's  "Festival  Of  Song." 

Adam  Petroski,  tenor,  has  attefaded 
the  New  England  Conservatory, 
where  he  won  a  three  year  scholar-' 
■  ship.  He  has  sung  the  leading  role 
in  "The  Rake's  Progress,"  by  Stravin- 
sky. 

The  Knickerbockers  are  under  the 
very  capable  direction  of  Donald 
Smith,  and  their  staging  is  handled 
by  Gene  Bayliss. 


Sadie  Hawkins  Conquers  Campus 

Dogpatch  ruled  the  Milligan  campus  all  day  Saturday,  November  6,  when 
the  Freshmen  class  sponsored  a  full-scheduled  Sadie  Hawkins'  Day. 

The  girls  received  their  instruction  sheets  and  the  "Snag  List"  (of  the  next 
day's  activities)  at  supper  Friday  night,  and  began  at  once  to  get  a  boy  to 
sign  beside  each  activity  to  which  he  would  take  her. 

In  the  afternoon  Field  Day  games  and  races  were  held  on  Anglin  Field. 
These  were  climaxed  by  the  traditional  Big  Race.  At  supper  that  evening 
the  girls  displayed  their  "Catch."      . 

The  grand  finale  of  the  day  was  the  "Dogpatch  Party"  held  in  the  Student 
- Union    Building    that    evening.    The 


MUligan  At  Miami 

President  and  Mrs.  Walker,  in  the 
company  of  Warren  Mathis,  minister 
of  the  Fountain  Square  Church  in 
Indianapolis,  and  Herbert  Wilson 
minister  of  the  Danville,  Indiana 
Church,  attended  the  National  Evan- 
gelistic Association  and  the  Inter- 
national Convention  of  Disciples  of 
Christ  in  Miami,  Florida,  Octboer  22- 

Dr.  Walker  is  President  of  the  Euro- 
pean Evangelistic  Society,  which  held 
its  annual  meeting  in  connection 
with  the  Convention.  Former  profes- 
sor Earl  Stuckenbruck  is  representa- 
tive of  the  society  in  Germany. 

The  "Milligan  quartet.  Bill  Dover, 
John  Von-Spreckelson,  Jerry  Wagner, 
and  Jerry  Lindell,  accompanied  by 
Miss  Ruth  White  and  Mi.ss  Ona  Wei- 
mer,  sang  at  two  sessions  of  the  Na- 
tional Evangelistic  Association  and  at 
their  dinner  meeting.  The  quartet  was 
enthusiastically  received  by  the. audi- 
ences.    ' 

The  Committee  on  Time  and  Place, 
of  which  Dr.  Walker  is  a  member,_an- 
nounced  no  convention  for  next  y.ear 
since  the  World  Convention  ~of 
Churches  of  Christ  will  be  meeting  in 
Toronto,  Canada. 

The  Associates  "  in  the  Christian 
Mission  also  met  during  the  conven- 
tion to  explore  further  plans  to  de- 
velop a  more  effective  Christian  wit- 
ness, especially  by  laymen  in  the 
Church. 

Convention  registrations  exceeded 
nine  thousand.  Of  special  interest  to 
Milligan  was  the  emphasis  laid  on 
Christian  education  at  one  of  the  ses- 
sions. The  college-age  population  of 
the  United  States  is  expected  to  dou- 
ble within  the  next  decade.  Educators 
are  troubled  with  the  problems  of 
providing  increased  facilities  for  this 
vast  increase.  It  is  particularly  diffi- 
cult for  private  institutions  to  find 
the  means  of  enlarging  their  campuses 
and  teaching  equipment.  The  conven-.- 
tion  urged  4hat  Christian  colleges  ex- 
plore plans  whereby  they  can  make  a 
Christian  education  availatjje  to  those 
who  desire  it.  This  policy'  is  already 
under  study  at  Milligan. 


Pat  Hand  Added  To  Staff 

Senior  Pat  Hand  is  a  very  recent, 
and  a  very  welcome,  addition  to  the 
staff  of  your  Stampede.  Pat  is  taking 
over  the  sport's  ee^torsbip.  which  was 
vacated  when  Phil  Bradford  became 
editor.  We  would  like  to  urge  your 
cooperation  and  encouragement  for 
the  wonderful  job  that  we  know  Pat 
will  do. 

—THE  STAMPEDE  STAFF, 


building  was  decorated  with  larger- 
than-life  cutouts  of  Dogpatch  "crit-. 
ters,"  and  Kickapoo  Joy-Juice, 
Schmoo  Special,  and  Dogpatch  Hain 
Hocjcs  were  served  for  refreshments. 

In  the  full  evening  of  entertain- 
ment, Duard  Aldrich  and  Pat  Roberts 
received  first  prize  as  the  best  Dog- 
patch couple,  and  Scott  Bartchy  and 
Diane  Walker  received  second  prize 
in  the  same  category.  Alice  MacDon- 
ald  was  voted  "Best  Daisy  Mae,"  and 
George  Posten  received  a  special -re- 
ward as  "Marryin'  Sam."  Ruth  Eason 
won  (?)  the  prize  for  having  the 
greatest  variety  of  names  on  her 
"Snag  List." 

Special  recognition  should  be  given 
to  the  committees  who  made  the  day 
a  success  and,  we  hope,  began  another 
tradition  at  Milligan.   They   are: 

Field  Day  Games:  Chairman,  Dick 
Calvert,  Dave  Patterson,  C.  A.  Harris, 
and  Billie  Blankenship. 

Refreshmenls:  Ro.xanne  Henderson, 
plus  several  willing  helpers.

'  Instruction     sheets:     Lois     Ferrell, 
Shirley  Stacy. 

Prizes:  Carolyn  Walker,  Liz  De- 
Armond,  Judy  Reutebuch. 

John  Mills  acted  as  general  chair- 
man of  the  party,  Scott  Bartchy  was 
in  charge  of  the  Race,  and  Barbara 
Scott  made  the  publicity  posters. 

The  Freshmen  class  would  like  to 
thank  all  Freshmen  and  upper  class- 
men who  helped  make  our  first  Sadie 
Hawkins'  Day  a  success. 


I  Know  Something  Good  About  You 

-Wouldn't  this  old  world  be  better; 

If  the  folks  we   meet   would  say; 
"I  know  something  good  about  you," 

And  then  treat  us  just  that  way! 
Wouldn't  it  be  fine  and  dandy, 

If  each  hand-clasp  warm  and  true. 
Carried   with   it  this   assurance; 

"I  know  something  good  about  you!" 
Wouldn't  things  here  be  more  pleasant 

If  the  good  that's  in  us  all 
Were  the  only  thing  about  us 

That  folks  bothered   to  recall! 
Wouldn't  life  be  lots  more  happy 

If  we'd  praise  the  good  we  see. 
For  there's  such  a  lot  of  goodness 

In  the  worst  of  you  and '  m.e ! 
Wouldn't  it  be  nice  to  practice  _ 

This  fine  way  of  thinking  too — 
You  know  something  good  about  me, 

I  know  something  good  about  you!"

THE     STAMPEDE 


Monday,  November  22,   1954 


Stampede 
SPORTS    SECTION 

SPORTS  EDITOR PAT  HAND 

RINGSIDE    SEAT 
With  Pat  Hand 

Well,  the  Buffaloes  are  playing  on 
a  brand  new  hardwood  floor  this  sea- 
son. Anyway  it  has  a  brand  new  fin- 
ish on  it,  even  if  the  wood  is  twenty 
years  old. 

From  where  I  sit  it  looks  like  that 
new  floor  is  going  to  be  proud  of  its 
first  year  down  there  on  Cheek's 
foundations.  Milligan  certainly  has 
the  horses  this  year,  or  "Buffaloes," 
and  although  not  too  strong  in  height. 
Barton,  Covell,  Aldridge  and  Crouch 
notwithstanding,  Milligan  should  give 
a  fine  showing  of  a  well-rounded 
team.  Of  course,  this  remains  to  be 
seen. 

By  the  time  this  paper  comes  off 
Mr.  Folsom's  printing  press,  Milligan 
will  have  played  three  games.  One 
team,  Belmont,  sporting  a  6'8"  center, 
and  Bethel,  last  year's  runner-up  in 
the  V.  S.  A.  C. 

However,  on  November  t,  the  Milli- 
gan Men  open  up  on  their  home  hard- 
wood against  Appalachian  State  of 
Boone,  North  Carolina,  and  that's 
when  I  hope  the  Buffs  do  open  up. 

From  where  I  sat  last  year  I  watch- 
ed Milligan  defeat  Appalachian  two 
times  with  not  as  strong  a  team  as 
they  have  now.  So,  going  out  on  a 
limb  to  make  a  prediction,  I  pick  Mil- 
ligan to  defeat  Appalachian  on  Dec.  1 
and  Dec.  4. 

As  to  Lincoln  Memorial  University 
on  December  8,  well,  it's  hard  to  say. 
Milligan  did  defeat  them  twice  last 
year,  but  L.  M.  U.  is  featunng  a  nuc- 
leus of  nine  returning  lettermen  and 
three  men  from  their  unbeaten  fresh- 
man team  last  year.  Also,  they  have 
twenty-two  freshmen  prospects  to 
choose  from.  Only  Tom  Roberts  was 
lost  by  graduatien.  Tom  is  a  friend  of 
Glen  Barton.  Milligan  has  eight  re- 
turning lettermen,  and  some  very 
good  prospects  in  Dennis  Greenwall 
and  Fred  Menear.  So,  you, can  see  it 
is  almost  a  toss-up,  because  you  just 
can't  go  on  last  year's  records.  One 
thing  is  certain,  however,  this  un- 
doubtedly will  be  one  of  the  best 
games  of  the  year. 

The  last  game  before  the  Christmas 
holidays  wUl  be  at  Berea  College  in 
Kentucky.  This  is  such  a  fine  school 
I  wish  everyone  could  see  it  because 
it  is  the  thing!!  But  to  get  back  to 
basketball,  if  I  were  allowed  to  be  a 
betting  man,  I  would  have  to  forsake 
loyalty  ties  and  place  my  money  on 
Berea.  For  the  last  three  years  Berea 
has  defeated  Milligan. '  Although  that 
doesn't  make  it  an  established  fact  on 
Berea's  home  court,  it  might.  The  fac- 
tors of  a  long  trip,  Berea's  home 
court,  one  yell  for  you,  but  how  they 
can  yell  against  you!  and  the  Christ- 
mas season  makes  it  doubtful  for  the 
Buffs.  However;  don't  take  my  word 
as  an  expert,  and  expert  being  a  man 
who  makes  a  prediction  on  Thursday 
before  the  game  on  Saturday,  which 


Junior  Buff's  Win  One  And  Lose  One; 
Two  Games  Set  With  State  College 

This  year  for  the  first  time  Coach  Walker  is  working  rather  extensively 
with  those  boys  who  didn't  make  the  varsity  s(iuad.  He  has  formed  a  "B" 
team  which  is  showing  considerable  promise,  and  should  continue  to  do  so 
during  the  remainder  of  the  year.  They  have  played  two  pick-up  games 
already  this  year,  and  have  two  games  definitely  scheduled  with  State, 
which  will  be  played  at  the  same  time  as  the  Varsity  games.  No  other 
definite  games  have  been  set  up,  but  Coach's  boys  are  always  looking  for 
competition. 

On  the  night  of  November  9,  the  Milligan  "B"  team  lost  to  Happy  Valley 

High_School  by  a  score  of  42  to  36. 

Milligan  Pulls  2nd  Net  Win 

When  the  smoke  of  battle  had  been 
cleared  away  on  October  25,  Milligan 
was  on  top  in  the  match  with  King 
College  with  a  score  of  6  to  1. 

In  the  number  1  singles,  Don  Wil- 
liams was  hard  pressed  by  Law  of 
King  before  wirming  6  to  2,  2  to  6, 
and  13  to  11.  In  the  number  2  slot. 
Norm  Held  won  going  away  over 
Wood  6  to  2  and  6  to  2.  Charlie  Syth- 
ers  defeated  Edgar  8  to  6,  2  to  6,  and 
6  to  4.  J[erry  Hughes  turned. in  his 
usual  winning  game  as  he  s,troked  by 
Cevin  6  to  2  and  6  to  0.  Gordon  Ellis 
fell  by  the  wayside  in  the  last  two 
sets  to  Hm  of  King  1  to  6  and  5  to  7, 
after  winning  the  first  set  8  to  6.  That 
congenial  gentleman  of  the  courts. 
Bob  Waites,  put  too  much  "english" 
on  the  ball  for  English  of  King,  win- 
ning 6  to  4  and  6  to  1. 

In  the  only  doubles  match,  Williams 
and  Held  of  Milligan  outscored  Law 
and  Edger  of  Kmg  7  to  5  and  6  to  3. 


Joe  Bowling  was  the  high  man  for 
Milligan  with  12  points,  while  FerreU 
tanked  10  tallies  to  take  the  Happy 
Valley  scoring  honors. 

The  MiUigan  Bee's  won  their  game 
of  the  Johnson  City  Boy's  Club  by  a 
score  of  55  to  52.  Bowling  again  took 
high  point  honors  for  the  Junior  Buffs 
with  16,  and  Shown  and  Hugh  Berry 
piled  up  14  points  apiece  for  the  Boy's 
Club.  These  boys  are  playing  their 
hearts  out  for  Milligan  just  as  much 
as  any  other  team,  so  let's  get  behind 
them  and  give  them  our  fuU  support. 


Cheerleaders 
For  1954-19555 

After  several  tense  tryouts  the  fol- 
lowing-people were  selected  to  strain 
their  tonsils  for  the  Buffalo  cause  this 
year  during  the  basketball  season: 
Roxanne  Henderson,  a  cute  freshman 
from  Gatorland,  holds  down  a  posi- 
tion on  the  first  team;  Pat  Bonner, 
that  leather-lunged  veteran,  is  back 
for  the  basketball  wars;  Joyce  Wag- 
ner Audree  McFarland,  and  Dianne 
Barnes,  all  first  year  women,  help  to 
make  this  team  a  strong  one;  Gordon 
EUis  holds  down  the  end  spot  on  the 
first  team;  and  Captain  Tinkie  Craig 
of  the  yell-leaders  is  back  again  this 
year  to  strengthen  the  team. 

While  having  a  strong  first  •  team, 
the  cheerleaders  also  have  a  ready  re- 
serve of  good  voices  in  Kitty  Wert, 
Pat  Reitzel,  and  Dianne  Walker. 

It  looks  like  a  mighty  good  year  for 
all  concerned,  and  it  will  be  if  we 
really  organize  to  yell  this  year  in 
one  concerted  effort.   GO!  GO!  GO!! 

gives  him  Friday  to  get  out  of  town. 

Anyway,  that's  how  the  first  part  of 
the  season  looks  to  me,  and  ^with  us 
out  there  yelling  for  them,  I  know 
they'U  come  through.  (Another  pre- 
dictian.) 


Phys.  Ed.  Club 

The  -Physical  Education  Club  met 
Wednesday,  November  10,  to  discuss 
big  plans  for  the  coming  month.  The 
first  order  of  business  was  to  select 
Dianne  Walker  as  the  club's  candidate 
for  Founder's  Day  Daughter.  Bud 
Gaslin  was  chosen  for  her  formal  es- 
cort for  the  Banquet  November  27, 
as  the  candidate's  escort  has  to  be 
from  the  club  of  which  she  is  a  mem- 
ber. Alice  MacDonald,  Sue  Roush, 
and  Pat  Hand  were  elected  as  cam- 
paign managers.  y 

The  next  point  of  business  was  dis- 
cussed by  Pat  Hand,  chairman  of  the 
basketball  program  committee.  He 
stated  that  the  paper  for  the  programs 
has  been  ordered,  and  due  to  the  fact 
that  there  would  be  a  charge  for  them 
it  would  be  wise  to  charge  a  small  fee 
to  offset  this.  However,  the  programs 
will  contain  eight  pages  full  of  infor- 
mation of  both  teams  and  pictures  so 
it  will  be  a  treat  to  have  one.  Also, 
the  Club  holds  the  concession  stand 
franchise  for  the  games  this  year,  and 
the  student  body  and  the  public  is 
urged  to  buy  their  popcorn,  candy  and 
apples  from  them. 


GAME  SCORES 

In  their  first  game  of  the  1954-55 
basketball  season,  the  Buff's  of  Milli- 
gan College  were  defeated  last  Thurs- 
day night  by  a  powerful  Belmont 
quintet,  88  lo  72. 

Playing  at  McKenzie,  Tennessee,  on 
the  nights  of  November  19  and  20,  the 
Buff's  faced  a  strong  opponent  in 
Bethel  College.  They  were  downed 
by  the  Bethel  five  85  lo  68  on  Novem- 
ber 19,  and  lost  again  to  the  same 
team  on  November  20,  84  10-73. 

The  Buff's  will  play  Appalachian 
State  here  on  December  1,  and  away 
on  the  4th.  They  will  tangle  at  home 
with  L.  M.  U.  on  the  8th,  and  then 
travel  to  Berea,  Kentucky  on  the 
11th  of  December.

J  Hardin  Holler 

i  By  BAHBARA  WILLIAMS 

'  Here   I   am   a^ain   to   tell   you   the 

latest  goings-on  in  Hardin  Hall! 

"You  gotta  F-I-G-H-T  !  This  was 
the  sound  that  was  heard  for  at  least 
a  week  prior  to  cheerleading  tryouts. 
There  was  much  practice  and  plan- 
ning by  the  aspirant  cheerleaders  of 
Hardin.  And  to  show  the  truth  of 
the  statement  "Practice  makes  per- 
fect," Roxie  Henderson,  Joyce  Wag- 
ner, Audree  MacFarland,  and  Pat 
Bormer  came  out  with  the  top  honors 
with  Kitty  Wert,  Dianne  Walker,  and 
Pat  Reitzel  acting  as  alternates. 

Is  there  anything  as  nice  as  a  box 
from  home?  There  were  sixteen  girls 
who  thought  not,  as  they  crowded  into 
Pat  Masters'  and  Barbara  Williams' 
room  to  partake  of  the  latest  arrival 
of  "eats"  from  Ohio. 

On  November  4,  Mother  Nature 
treated  Milligan  to  a  light  blanket  of 
snow.  It  seems  that  Don  Miller,  Dave 
Patterson,  and  Jackie  Harrison  were 
not  so  tired  out  from  play  practice 
that  they  couldn't  enjoy  a  nocturnal 
snow  ball  fight. 

That  same  night  as  the  wind  whist- 
led around  the  corners  of  Hardin  and 
the  moon  cast  eerie  shadows  on  the 
snow,  six  girls  sat  in  Helen  Lewis' 
room  and  told  stories  so  scarry  that 
even  Nancy  Gehnun  and  Grade  Lam- 
bert lost  their  bravery. 

Now  the  time  has  come  for  me  to 
say  "So  long,"  again,  but  before  I  go 
let  me  encourage  you  all  to  tune  in  on 
-  the  fabulous  new  disc  iockey  on 
WJHL's  "Open  House."  You'll  be  glad 
you  did. 


Cheek    Chatter 

By  MARTHA  GREEN 

The  girls  of  Cheek  welcome  Miss 
Floyd  mto  the  noisy  halls.  Good  to 
have  you  with  us  in  this  wonderful 
place.  Miss  Floyd. 

Great  changes  have  been  wrought 
on  the  west  end-  of  third  where  four 
girls  have  taken  three  rooms  and  put 
into  practice  the  division  of  labor 
between  the  rooms.  Margy  Hastings' 
room  is  now  an  'attractively  arranged 
area  for  study — it  has  been  question- 
ed whether  the  right  room  was  chosen 
for  this  activity.  All  of  the  girls  at- 
tempt to  sleep  in  the  corner  room 
which  was  Marilyn  Dunlap's  and 
Betty  Jean  Stout's.  To  find  out  how 
this  arrangement  is  working  just  ask 
the  girls  who  live  below  them.  Many 
dressers  and  toilet  articles  are  in  the 
end  room  formerly  occupied  by  Don- 
na Turpen.  That's  the  sweet  Cheek 
suite! 

Accidents  wiU  happen,  but  a  certain 
Cheek  cliff-dweller  is  hoping  that  it 
won't  happen  again.  It  wasn't  a  high- 
way catastrophe  but  it  was  a  colli- 
sion. Barbara  Smith  and  Margie  Eu- 
banks  met — pow!  The  result  was  a 
beautiful  shiner  on  Barbara's  right 
eye.   Anyway,  it  makes  a  good  story. 

Well,  we  leave  you  now  to  your 
own  devices.  Ours  are  putting  people 
in  waste  barrels,  short-sheeting  girls' 
beds,  setting  alarm  clocks  for  owlish 
hours,  and  stuffing  newspapers  in  pil- 
lowcases. 


Pardee   Party   Line 

By  "KING"  KOHLS. 

I've  noticed  lately,  and  maybe  you 
have  too,  that  on  Saturday  nights 
there  are  very  few  residents  left  in 
Pardee.  I've  delegated  myself  to  seek 
out  the  stimulus  for  the  previously 
stated  condition,  and  in  going  about 
drawing  a  conclusion,  I  have  inter- 
viewed some  of  the  men  of  Pardee. 
These  are  some  of  the  comments  on 
the  question,  "Why  is  the  dorm  so 
empty  on  Saturday  nights?" 

Sam  Elam:  "Never  been  here  on  a 
Saturday  night!!" 

Joe  Bowhng:  "I  always  go  to  a  tea 
party," 

Bill  Davis:  "The  Rebels  want  to 
howl!!" 

Bud  Gaslin:  "I  get  away  from  the 
darn  place!!" 

Don  Miller:  "Get  in  a  little  bood- 
lin'." 

Gordon  "Flash"  EUis:  "Nobody 
there."  (?). 

Fred  "Zeke"  Menear:  "Go  to  State 
and  get  'em  a  girl!!" 

Bill  "Terrible"  Ferrell:  "I  go  to  see 
my  future  mother-in-law's  daughter!" 

The  Dirty  Four:  "Watch  submarine 
races!!" 

Don  "Wormy"  Williams:  "Get  away 
so  I  can  learn  something." 

Hyder's  Pitter-Pat 

By  PAT  TOPPING 

Y'all  come!!  That  is  usually  our 
motto,  _and  the  response  has  been 
wonderful. 

Prof.  Hyder  didn't  know  there  were 
so  many  boys  on  campus  until  Ruth 
Eason  began  to  bring  them  up  for  a 
visit.  Even  though  he  is  about  well 
now,  she  keeps  him  well  supplied 
with  company. 

Wow!!  The  love-bug  has  Carolyn! 
A  certain -fellow  in  Florida  must  own 
Daytona  Beach  to  afford  all  the  phone 
calls  he  makes.  It's  really  'quite  a 
habit. 

Sue  just  seems  to  walk  in  a  dream 
sometimes.  I  guess  you  would  too,  if 
you  received  seven  letters  in  one  day 
from  the  love  of  your  life. 

It's  no  secret — I  mean  about  all  the 
wonderful  food  that  Mom  Hyder 
cooks  for  us,  (cookies,  pies,  and  waf- 
fles, for  instance).  She  and  Prof,  have 
spoiled  all  of  us  with  aU  the  com- 
forts of  home.  Why,  I've  already  gain- 
ed five  pounds  this  year.  This  is  the

found  that  traveling  is  broadening

Mary  Perry  and  Mr.  Warren  Fair- 
banks rendered  a  serious  duet — so 
serious  that  they  did  not  sing  it — 
Miss  Ruth  White  and  Mr.  Robert  Fife 
did.  The  program  concluded  with 
"Swinging  Niles  Styles"  conducted  by 
Carl  Niles,  maestro.  The  pepsi-bottle 
orchestra  was  composed  of  faculty 
members  Dean  Walker,  Fife,  Jones, 
Hale,  Floyd,  Stahl,  Neth,  Sisk,  Duard 
Walker,  and  Ford.  They  gave  a  vigor-

to  their  training. 


KLUB  KORNER 

Qub  Editor — Lee  Moothart 

The  Pre-Med  Club  met  recently  and 
disctissed  plans  for  a  formal  banquet 
to  be  held  after  the  Christmas  holi- 
days for  all  members  and  their  dates. 
They  decided  to  make  a  directory  of 
the  alumni  and  what  they  are  doing 
now.  Two  movies  were  shown  after 
the  business  meeting. 

The  following  people  have  formed 
a  Diapason  Club:  Jack  Pratt,  Betsy 
Eunson,  Anne  Robinson,  Marylyn  Ro- 
zell.  Gale  Sheperd,  Venessa  Rollins, 
Marjorie  Eubanks,  and  Frankie  Sim- 
cox.  They  have  elected  as  their  offi- 
cers: Jack  Pratt,  president;  Marylyn 
Rozell,  secretary;  Anne  Robinson,  pro- 
gram chairman;  Marjorie  Eubanks, 
publicity  'chairman;  and  Miss  Gloria 
Gaddis,  sponsor. 

The  objectives  of  the ,  club  are  to 
study  the  organ  in  general,  to  hear 
other  organists,  and  to  g^resent  organ 
recitals. 

The  club  members  journeyed  to 
Knoxville,  Tuesday  16,  to  an  organ 
concert. 

The  installation  of  new  members 
and  officers  was  recently  held  by  the 
Service  Seekers  Club.  The  following 
officers  were  installed:  President, 
Marylyn  Rozell :  Vice-President,  Mar- 
garet Butler;  secretary  and  treasurer, 
Diane  Walker.  Mary  Perry  was  the 
speaker,  and  Anne  Robinson  and  Mar- 
garet Butler  sang  "Living  For  Jesus." 
After  the  meeting  Miss  Welshimer 
served  refreshments.

At  a  recent  meeting  of  the  Dramatic 
Club  Professor  Niles  gave  a  demon- 
stration on  make-up.  The  few  strange 
looking  students  you  saw  walking 
around  on  the  campus  were  the  vic- 
tims of  the  demonstrations.  That 
make-up  doesn't  come  off  very  easily 
does  it.  Jack?  Refreshments  were 
served  and  enjoyed  by  everyone. 

October  31,  the  Buffalo  Ramblers 
hiked  up  Buffalo  Mountain.  "Boy,  am 
I  tired  but  wasn't  it  worth  it!"  This 
was  a  comment  from  almost  everyone 
as  they  came  off  the  mountain.  Any- 
one who  hasn't  been  up  Buffalo 
Mountain  has  missed  a  wonderful  ex- 
perience. 

Saturday,  November  20,  the  Buffa- 
lo's hiked  to  Salt  Peter  Caves.  Every- 
one enjoyed  the  wiener  roast  that  fol- 
lowed.

other  half  this   afternoon."

EXPECTATIONS  FOR  1954-55  FOUNDER'S  DAY  HIGH  AS 


j_ 


Dramatic  Club  Debuts  With  Comedy; 
To  Be  Given  Friday,  December  3 

The  first  production  of  the  year  by  the  new  Dramatics  Club  will  be  the 
three-act  comedy  "Down  To  Earth,"  which  will  be  presented  Friday,  De- 
cember 3. 

Directed  by  Professor  Carl  Niles  with  Marcella  Williams  as  assistant  direc- 
tor and  Wesley  Umberger  as  stage  manager,  the  play  has  been  in  rehearsal 
several  weeks  and  promises  to  provide  a  full  evening  of  fun. 

Written  by  Betty  Knapp,  the  coftiedy  concerns  the  trials  of  two  angels, 
AGNES  (Jackie  Harrison)  and  WILFRED  (Don  Miller),  who  come  to  earth 
after  two  souls  and  find  themselves  accompanied  by  PILONE  (Gordon  Ellis), 
a  sort  of  half-angel  hitch-hiker. 

The  two  elderly  souls  who  are  to 
be  picked  up  are  AUGUSTA  APPLE- 
GATE  (Barbara  Williams),  a  wealthy 
and  sarcastic  spinster,  and  HERMAN 
HOWELL  (Dave  Patterson),  a  kindly, 
retired  sailor  who  lives  nearby.  Her- 
man is  ready  to  go,  but  Augusta  hates 
to  part  with  her  money. 

Willing  to  reUeve  her  of  it  are  her 
two  nieces,  MILLIE  BROMSLEY 
(Joyce  Wagner)  and  ORPHA  TEEL 
(Barbara  Scott).  Millie's  inventor 
husband,  BAXTER  (Gary  Gray), 
needs  money  to  build  his  newest  in- 
vention, and  Orpha  hopes  to  use  the 
money  to  find  a  wealthy  husband  for 
her  daughter  RUTHIE  (Barbara  Rice). 

Millie  and  Baxter's  daughter  JUNE 
(Ruth  Johnson)  is  engaged  to  marry 
RICHARD  WHITE  (Bob  Peoples),  and 
the  couple  want  Augusta's  money  to 
buy  a  photography  shop. 

Orpha  finally  snags  wealthy  ROB- 
ERT HANLEY  (Earl  Estes)  for  her 
daughter,  only  to  find_that  Pilone, 
through  his  prowess  in  making  people 
fall  in  love  by  kissing  them,  has 
caused  Ruthie  to  fall  in  love  with 
June's  fiancee,  Richard! 

Using  his  same  power,  Pilone  causes 
a  romance  to  spring  up  between  Au- 
gusta and  Herman,  almost  stranding  , 
Agnes  and  Wilfred  on  earth:  and  he 
falls  in  love  himself  with  Augusta's 
n^uch-jilted  maid  DIANA  OLUMP 
(Doima  Turpen). 

How  the  various  romances  get  un- 
tangled and  how  Pilone  receives  his 
final  reward,  makes  ..an  interesting  fi- 
nale to  an  absorbing  and  amusing 
play. 

Come  to  the  play  "Down  to  Earth" 
on  Friday,  December  3 — ^you  will  like 
it.

Founder^ s  Day  Open  House 

By  LEE  MOOTHART 

Hardin,  Cheek,  and  Pardee  will  hold 
open  house  from  two  to  five  o'clock 
on  Founder's  Day.  All  rooms  must  be 
spic  and  span!  Whether  they  have 
ever  been  cleaned  or  wUl  ever  be 
again,  they  should  be  cleaned  for  this 
one  time. 

The  day  before  open  house  is  al- 
ways a  scramble.  Everyone  is  trying 
to  get  his  furniture  out  in  the  hall  at 
the  same  time  so  that  he  can  get  the 
floors  mopped  and  waxed.  This  is  the 
only  time  in  the  year  that  there  aren't 
enough  mops  to  go  around. 

Girls,  beware  of  Dave  Brady!  It  is 
said  that  he  goes  out  of  his  way  to 
find  dust.  Don't  forget  to  dust  all 
pipes,  window  casings,  and  anything 
else  that  might  catch  the  eye  of  those 
critical  boys. 

Boys,  here's  your  chance  to  see  if 
your  best  girl  is  a  good  housekeeper. 
Let's  not  disappoint  them,  girls.  Each 
boy  gets  to  vote  on  the  room  he 
thinks  is  the  most  attractive  in  both 
Cheek  and  Hardin. 

Girls,  you  also  have  the  opportunity 
to  go  through  the  rooms  at  Pardee 
and  see  what  that  favorite  boy's  room 
looks  like.  You  had  better  proceed 
with  caution,  because  some  boys  are 
just  not  cut  out  to  be  good  house- 
keepers. 

Open  House  is  all  in  fun  so  be  a 
good  sport  and  clean  house.  Some  of 
the  faculty  and  alumni  like  to  roam 
through  the  dormitories  and  recall 
old  memories.  Tea  will  be  served  in 
Hardin  Parlors  for  the  faculty,  alum- 
ni, and  visitors,  and  a  register  book 
will  be  placed  in  the  hall. 

Miss  Welshimer,  Mrs.  Nice,  and 
Mrs.  Carolyn  Walker  are  in  charge  of 
the  Open  House.  The  girls  in  the  dor- 
mitories wUl  serve  as  hostesses  to  the 
guests. 


FACULTY  COMMITTEES 

The  general  chairman  for  this,  the 
1954-55  Founder's  Day  celebration,  is 
Duard  Walker,  and  his ,  assistant  is 
Dean  Guy  Oakes.  The  various  com- 
mittees for  the  annual  affair,  which

Floyd. 

this  time  three-minute  campaign 
speeches  for  each  of  the  candidates 
win  be  made.  Omer  Hamlin,  Jr.,  will 
be  the  Master  of  Ceremonies.

Prayer  Opens

By  JIM  BUCKLES  "     -■ 

Although  Saturday,  November  27,- 
1954,  was  a  cold,  dreary  day,  it  didn't 
stop  the  larger-  part  of  the  student 
body  from  turning  out  for  the  short 
dedication  ceremony  of  the  new  Stu- 
dent Union  Building,  which  has  been 
under  construction  since  March,  1951. 

Dean  Guy  Oakes,  acting  as  master 
of  ceremonies,  introduced  the  MilU- 
gan  Trio,  who  sang  "The  Lord's 
Prayer."  Gene  Click,'  52,  led  the  group 
in  prayer  and  afterward,  Mr.  Hyder, 
who  has  worked  long  and  hard  to  see 
this  project  become  a  reality,  intro- 
duced 'r..  P.  Jones,  one  of  the  team 
who  fostered  this  idea.  T.  P.  told  the 
group  of  the  enthusiasm  that  the  stu- 
dent body  had  when  the  project  was 
first  started  and  how  hard  students 
worked  on  it,  some  of  them  working 
all  night  at  times.  He  told  of  how,  at 
times,  they  began  to  .think  .that  it 
would  never  be  finisjjed.  He  then  in- 
troduced Randy  Cooper,  '52,  who" 
showed  the  original  drawing  that  he 
made  of  the  building  in  March  of 
1951,  and  commented  that  this  was 
one  idea  that  he  and  T.  P.  had  car- 
ried out.  Randy  said  that,  when  one 
had  an  idea,  he  should  investigate  it 
and  carry  it  through  to  become  a 
reality.

to  be  worked  out,  plans  are  set  to 
begin  construction  on  the  new  build- 
ing not  later  than  March  1  of  1955, 
provided  no  imexpected  circiunstances 
arise. 

The  buUding  will  be  of  four  stories, 
with  modern  kitchen  and  dining  hall 
on  the  ground  floor.  It  will  be  con- 
structed of  brick  and  block,  with  the 
architectiure  following  the  general 
lines  of  the  campus.  They  wUl,  how- 
ever, be  more  simple  and  modernis- 
tic. The  $200,000.00  dormitory  wiU 
■have"  approximately  fifty- two  rooms 
which  will  cost  about  $400.00  apiece  to 
furnish.  Student  help  is  definitely 
encouraged  for  this  part  of  the  project, 
for  it  is  part  of  the  "Milligan  way"  to 
get  up  and  push  a  little  when  a  push 
is  needed. 

President  Walker  has  described  the 
project  as  an  indication  of  the"  con- 
tinuing growth  at  Milligan.  The  com- 
pletion of  the  b'uilding  wUl  enable  the 
coUege  to  Increase  its  enrollment  by 
one  third.  It  wUl  also  lower  the  per- 
capita  ■  cost,  thus  increasing  the 
school's  efficiency  and  benefiting  ev- 
eryone on  campus.  It  will  also  give 
Milligan  a  sound  basic  readiness  for 
the  increase  in  the  number  of  coUege 
age  young  people  which  is  bound  to 
come  within  the  neJct  ten  years.

Little  Wheels  Make  Big  Wheels  Run 

You  are  all  familiar  with  the  big  Wheels,  spokes,  axles,  etc.,  that  make 
up  the  machine  of  life  here  at  Milligan,  or,  for  that  matter,  anywhere  else. 
You  see  and  hear  them  everyday,  for  they're  the  ones  who  are  out  in  front, 
leading  the  parade.  These-are  the  people  who  get  the  glory  in  the  basketball 
game,  the  lead  in  the  school  play,  or  the  editorship  of  the  school  paper.  But 
what  about  those  little'  wheels  that  make  the  big  ones  run?  Where  are  4hey 
and  what  are  they  doing?  Why  don't  you  see  and  hear  them  ^  you  do  the 
big  wheels?  .  .  .  because  they  are  hidden  by  the  big  wheels  and  are  too  busy 
helping  them  get  their  jobs  done. 

Iwant  to  pay  tribute  here  to  those  little  wheels,  the  people  who  work  be- 
hind th'fe  scenes  all  the  time.--  They  don't  get  much  credit — most  people  don't 
even  know  who  they  are.  They're  the  ones  who  make  posters,  work  on  the 
stage  crew  in  the  play,  manage  the  basketball  team,  or  maybe  they  write 
stories  which  the  editor  gets  credit  for.  There  isn't  any  use  on  mentioning 
names  here,  for  I  would  probably  miss  some  one  and  hurt  their  feelings, 
but  you  know  who  you  are.  Pat  yourselves  on  the  back,  or  better  yet,  come 
to  me  .  .  .  I'll  be  glad  to  do  it.  You  deserve  that  and  much  more,  for  the 
world  couldn't  get  along  without  you. 

Perhaps  you're  the  kind  of  pierson  who  can  be  a  big  wheel  and  a  little 
wheel  at  the  same  time.  If  you  are,  congratulations!!  Few  jjfeople  have  what 
it  takes  to  do  that  .  .  .  they  haven't  got  the  axle  for  the  job.  Finally,  I'd 
like  to  say,  "keep  running,  little  wheels,  and  if  you  want  any  lubrication,  CVil 
be  glad  to  get  it  for  you!! — P.  B.

Most  High:  and  to  his  kingdom  there 
shall  be  no  end. 

And  Mary  and  Joseph  went  to  be 
taxed  into  Judea,  which  is  Bethle- 
hem. 

And  it  came  to  pass  while  they 
were  there,  the  days  were  fulfilled 
that  she  should  be  delivered.  And  she 
brought  forth  her  first  born  son;  and 
wrapped  Him  in  swaddUng  clothes, 
an4  laid  Him  in  a  mangA,  because 
there  was  no  room  for  them  in  the 
Inn."

Christian  Service  Week 
Brings  4  Atlanta  Speakers 

By  JIM  BUCKLES 

An  airline  captain,  a  physician,  a 
minister  and  a  coach  were  the  princi- 
pal speakers  who  participated  in  "The 
Week  of  Christian  Service  at  MiUigan 
College"  from  Monday,  November  22, 
through  Friday,  November  26,  with 
the  exception  of  Thanksgiving  Day. 
These -four  men  were  from  Atlanta, 
Georgia,  and  were  aU  members'of  the 
East  Pomt  Christian  'Church  there. 

Captain  Carl  Hoffman,  who  is  a 
pilot  for  Delta-C&S  Airlines,  was  the 
first  speaker  of  the  week.  "Christian 
character,  a  college  education  and 
■youth  are  the  principle  qualifications 
looked  for  in  an  applicant  by  the  air- 
lines," said  Hoffman. 

The  opportunities  for  Qhristian  ser- 
vice in  the  medical  profession  were 
discussed  by  Dr.  Byron  Harper,  a 
physician  in  the  field  of  internal 
medicine.  Dr.  Harper  spoke  of  the  re- 
lation of  prayer  and  faith  in  regard 
to  the  medical  profession.  Speaking 
to  the  students  on  Tuesday,  Dr.  Har- 
per discussed  the  sponsorship  of  a 
nurse's  home  under  the  direction  of 
the  Christian  Church. 

Dr.  Robert  O.  Weaver,  minister  of 
the  East  Point  Christian  Church  in 
Atlanta  for  the  past  16  years,  was  the 
speaker  for  the  Wednesday  morning 
program.  Among  other  things,  he  told 
of  the  opportunities  for  service  in  the 
church  and  church-related  institu- 
tions. ,  ,,.,,. 

T.  P.  Jones,  a  graduate  of  Milligan 
and  teacher  of  physical  education  in 
one  of  the  Atlanta  schools,  was  the 
last  speaker  of  the  week.  JJe  made  it 
clear  just  how  one  could  bring  Christ 
into  teacliing  and  youth  activities. 

Each  dav,  following  the  speakers 
addresses,  a  panel  of  students  ques- 
tioned each  one  on  the  employment 
opportunities  and  the  opportunities 
for  Christian  service  through  therr 
line  of  work.^ 

The  essential  purpose  of  the  week 
was  to  place  an  emphasis  on  the  fact 
that  everyone  is  a  minister  of  Christ 
through  his  own  profession,  whatever 
it  may  be. 

Sisk   Presents  Paper 

Lone  L.  Sisk,  professor  of  chemis- 
try at  MiUfgan  College,  presented  a 
paper  on  "Academic  Preparation  of 
High  School  Chemistry  Teachers"  at 
the  Tennessee  Academy  of  Science 
meeting  in  Nashville  on  November  26. 


Eunson  will  be  the  stage  manager, 
and  the  whole  program  will  be  staged 
under  the  very  capable  direction  of 
Miss  Ruth  White. 

It  is  sincerely  hoped  by  aU  those 
concerned  that  this,  the  1954  Christ- 
mas pageant,  will  leave  the  audience 
with  a  fuller  and  deeper  understand- 
ing of  the  real  meaning  of  Christmas, 
the  birthday  of  our  eternal  King.

HYDER'S    PITTER-PAT 
By  PAT  TOPPING 

Donna  is  slowly  drifting  back  to 
earth  since  h^r  family,  has  returned 
home;  but  do  you  know  what  they 
brought  from  Ruth's  folks?  I  could 
tell  you  there  were  pumpkin  pies, 
date*  pudding,  cookies,  nuts,  peanut 
brittle,  tangerines  .  .  .  but  it  might 
make  you  hungry,  so  I  won't.  Was  it 
good?  Just  ask  us. 

Isn't  Eva  Jo  the  lucky  one  to  go 
home  for  Thanksgiving  and  every 
week-end?  Or  is  she?  Weren't  the 
Founder's  Day  Banquet  and  Pageant 
wonderful? 

"Gimmie  a  kiss,  you  Stinker,  I  love 
you,  you're  so  pretty,  Merry  Christ- 
mas." Does  that  sound  crazy?  It  is 
part  of  "Pretty  Boy  Hyder's"  vocabu- 
lary. 

Have  you  noticed  the  tall,  nice- 
looking  soldieijon  campus?  He  is  none 
other  than  Phil  Roush — Sue's  husband 
(sorry — he's  taken).  Welcome  back, 
Phil!! 

Joyce  keeps  us  in  a'  dither.  Who  is 
waiting  downstairs  this  .time? 

Poor  Carolyn!!!  She's  going  to  have 
to  put  up  with  IT  (me)  during  the 
Christmas  vacation. 

PARDEE    PARTY    LINE 
By  KING  KOHL 

Have  you  wondei-ed  what  Pardee 
was  like  on  the  eve  of  Founder's  Day? 
Stop  wondering!!  These  are  the  facts! 
T.  V.  Anderson  was  on  the  job,  as 
usual.  "Red"  and  Spotts  were  memor- 
izing the  chemistry  handbook.  Eunson 
gave  cut-rate  haircuts.  "Terrible" 
Ferrell,  Ron  Dougherty,  and  Jack 
Gardner  were  studying — cards. 

Did  you  hear  that?  It  was  Patter- 
son, Mills,  and  Ferdy  kicking  each 
other  off  the  bunks.  And  that  odor? 
Tink  <was  cooking  for  Worrell,  Gas- 
lin,  and  guest. 

Bob  Peeples  and  Dee  and  Leach 
Sowers  enjoyed  the  music  from  Tex 
.•in  a  reclining  sort  of  way.  The  other 
music  was  from  Phil's  typewriter  (al- 
ways in  use). 

President  Sweeny  of  the  Astrono- 
mer's Club  and  the  members  Buch- 
ana  and  Konzolman  were  studying 
the  features  of  heavenly  bodies 
through  a  high  powered  telescope. 

Jeep  tried  to  protect  Fred  from  be- 
ing swindled  by  Smythers.  The  ob- 
ject was  a  shapeless  hat(?). 

CHEEK   CHATTER 
By  JULIE  GREEN 

Room  206  is  a  prize  room!  It  won 
the  honor  for  the  past  two  Founder's 
Days.  Dianne  Barnes  and  Donna  Fry 
were  the  winners  this  year. 

Judy's  visitor  was  an  old  friend 
from  Indiana.  They  spent  most  of 
their  time  talking  (?)  over  the  past 
and  making  up  for  lost  time. 

A  disarming  odor  now  greets  -  all 
who  enter  the  lobby  of  Cheek.  Many 
guesses  have  been  made  as  to  the 
origin — such     as     limburger     cheese 


Milligan  College  Player's  Debut  With  Bettye  Knapp's 
'^'Down  To  Earth";  Audience  Reception  Good 

By  PHIL  BRADFORD 

The  Milligan  College  Players  won  the  heart  of  its  audience  last  Friday 
night  as  they  presented  "Down  To  Earth,"  a  play  in  three  acts  by  Bettye  Knapp. 

Gordon  Ellis,  Don  Miller,  and  Jackie  Harrison  were  three  of  the  most 
devilish  angels  you  would  ever  want  to  meet.  "Flash,"  with  sincerity  and  good 
facial  expression,  was  the  character  hit  of  the  play.  Don's  stage-wise  poise 
helped  to  smootii  out  the  play  all  the  way  through,  and  Jackie,  as  usual, 
bubbled  with   unangelic  exuberation. 

Donna  Turpen  turned  in  an  excellent  character  portrayal  as  Augusta 
. Applegate's   much-jilted  maid. 


(which  has  given  in  to  death  and  re- 
minds everyone  of  it.)  The  main 
point  is  to  rid  the  lobby  of  the  stench! 
He  who  does  it  and  proves  it,  the 
same  shall  be  rewarded. 

There  will  be  no  more  straining  of 
mind  for  Ginny  Weaver  trying  to  re- 
call the  likeness  of  her  one  and  only. 
The  undersized  poster  on  the  dresser 
is  the  reason. 

HARDIN   HOLLER   - 
By  BARB  WILLIAMS 


,  Barbara  Williams  and  Dave  Patter- 
son were  both  convincing  in  two  of 
the  hardest  parts,  although  Barbara 
did  seem  to  lose  some  of  her  age 
after  the  first  act.  Dave  added  spice 
to  the  play  with  his  salty  portrayal 
of  an  old  sailor. 

Barbara  Scott  was  as  motherish  as 
could  be,  and  Barbara  Rice  and  Ruth 
Johijson  both  gave  good  accounts  of 
N.  themselves  in  their  parts. 

Bob  Peeples  did  a  fairly"  good  job, 
although  his  inexperience  showed  in 
spots.  Gary  Gray  showed  very  good 


Hi    there!    Here's    the    latest    from      character    as    an    eccentric,    money 
Hardin!   Probably  the  nicest  incident    *  o..=kv,:„™  :„,,„„.„,.    ,.,i,;i.   t •iTr-_ 


that's  happened  lately  is  Kenny'.^.  sur- 
prise arrival  frorn  Germany.  Carol 
Wicks  floated  on  a  pink  cloud  for  a 
few  days.  No  wonder!' 

Thanksgiving  was  a  welcomed  holi- 
day— snow  and  all.  At  10:00  the  sleep- 
ers held  devotions  in  the  parlor.  Bar- 
bara Rice  and  Lu  Davis  were  the 
sponsors.  Everyone  appreciated  it. 

After  filling  up  gm  turkey  and  all 
the  trimmings  most  of  Hardin's  girls 
attended  the  saddest  movie  in  J.  C. 
(buckets  of  tears!). 

Carol  Hamilton  was  honored  by  a 
birthday  party  at  Helen  Bowman's.  It 
was  her  third  party — and  third  cake!! 

Another  birthday  party  recently 
was  for  Marcy  and  Patterson  during 
play  practice.  That  sheet  cake  was  de- 
licious!!! 

Founder's  Day  found  all  rooms 
spotless — and  refreshments  in  the 
parlor,  too! 

Bye  now!  I  must  leave  until  after 
the  holidays.  Hardin  girls'  wish  all 
students,  faculty  and  administration 
a  very  Metry  Christmas  and  a  Happy 
New  Year!!

ing the  part  of  Gary's  wife. 

As  Robert  Hanley,  Earl  Estes  con- 
vinced even-me  that  he  was  crazy. 

Having  seen  much  of  the  heartache, 
sweat,  and  toil  put  into  long  weeks  of 
practice,  I  can  truthfully  say  that  no 
amount  of  critical  comment  from  any- 
one could  express  the  wonderful  feel- 
ingthat  "Down  To  Earth"  gave  to  the 
audtence,-Mr.  Niles,  all  I  can  say  is, 
"Congratulations  —  congratulations 
and  many  thanks  for  a  job  well 
done!!"

Walker  chosen  as  Founder's  Daughter. 
Diane  was  sponsored  by  the  Physical 
Education  Club  and  was  escorted  by 
Bud  Gaslin. 

As  to  the  main  part  of  the  evening's 
program,.  The  Milligan  College  Choir 
and  a  large  cast  of  faculty  and  stu- 
dents presented  the  pageant,  "This  Is

Miss  Ona  Weimer,  and  included  ori-

Point,  Georgia,  gave  to  us  in  chapel 
on  November  26.  I  know  I  did,  not 
only  because  I'm  a  pTiysical  education 
major,  but  also  because  of  the  fact 
that  he  told  us  some  truths  that  we 
can  carry  with  us  while  we  are  doing 
anything,  anywhere.  As  he  stated,  all 
of  us  are  in  this  game  of  life,  and  the 
comparison  to  a  game  of  tennis  -was 
very  good  ...  .  to- Love  All;  to  Serve;  • 
to  keep  ourselves  above  ^the  Net  of 
Evil.  I  don't  know  if  you  have  ever 
particularly  noticed  the  significance 
of  the  hymn.  Guide  Me,  O  Thou  Greal 
Jehovah,  but  to  me  it  seems  especial- 
ly characteristic  of  coaches  and  of 
teachers  and  what  the  youth  in  our 
schools  are  saying:  "Guide  Me."

I  don't  know  if  you  noticed  a  1950 
convertible  with  a  guard  rail  in  it 
that  was  towed  by  a  wrecker  the  oth- 
er day  down  at  Happy  Valley  or  not. 
It  was  the  result  of  a  wreck  that  took 
place  around  KnoxviUe  about  two 
months  ago.  The  occupants  of  the 
car  were  boys  and  girls  of  high  school 
age.  They  were  on  their  way  to  a 
football  game,  and  on  their  way  be- 
came involved  in  a  race.  They  passed 
a  car  that  was  already  going  a  hun- 
dred miles  an  hour,  and  the  convert- 
ible, while  passing,  got  out  of  control, 
hit  a  ditch,  ran  the  guard  rail  through 
the  motor  on  through  the  length  of 
the  car,  and  then  plunged  over  an  em- 
bankment. The  guard  rail  impaled 
one  of  the  riders,  and  the  remaining 
occupants  of  the  car  also  died.  The 
car  is  touring  high  schools  to  put  an 
emphasis  on  safety,  and  that  is  why 
I'm  telling  you  this. 

If  you  follow  the  Buffaloes  on  some 
of  their  off-campus  games  this  year, 
by  all  means  drive  safely.  Leave  soon 
enough  from  MUligan  to  get.  to  the 
game  on  time  without .  going  like  a 
hai,  and  dpn't  have  that  victory  spirit 
after  the  game  so  much  that  you  want 
to  be  the  first  to  get  back  and  ring 
the  bell,  so  endangering  the  lives  of 
yourselves  and  others.  Please  drive 
safely,  because  we  love  you  all  too, 
much  to  lose  you  from  the  Milligan 
family. 

Before  you  start  making  plans  for 
attending  the  ball  games,  both  home 
and  away,  check  elsewhere  on  the 
sports  page  for  a  schedule.  The  ones 
printed  before  have  all  been  loused  up, 
so  we're  trying  to  get  a  correct  sched- 
ule for  you.

An  interesting  fact  you  might  want 


to  know  about  Belmont  and  their 
6'7"  center  ...  he  made  34  points 
against  the  Buffaloes,  and  he  aver- 
aged 21  points  a  game  last  year.  Also, 
they  ■  are  building  him  up  for  AU- 
American  honors.  (I  just  wanted  you 
to  know  that  the  Buffs  were  playing 
against  "class.")

Another  interesting  fact:  the  men 
on  the  basketball  team,  although  los- 
ing their  games  on  the  first  road  trip, 
never  gave  up  and  w^e  out  there- 
fighting  for  the  ball  at  the  last  whis- 
tle. They  came  out  of  those  games 
>vith  a  good  attitude,  and  the  only 
thing  they  were  beaten  by  was  the 
score.  Casey  Jones  Vinson,  coach  of 
Bethel  said,  "That  is  the  scrappiest 
group  of  men  I've  ev£r  been  up 
against.'  That  is  a  fine  compliment 
from  as  nice  a  gentleman  and  coach 
as  you  could  ever  meet.  So  let's  hus- 
tle right  along  with  the  team  and 
support  it  as  well  as  the  schooj.  It 
can't  be  done  enough!!

varying  from,  "I  was  really  sur- 
prised," to  "I  don't  know,  I  don't  feel 
a  bit  different."  We,  ~at  MiUigan  are 
proud  to  say  that  we  know  people 
like  you.    Congratulations!!

By    THE    ROVING    REPORTER 

This  column,  which,  it  is  hoped, 
will  become  a  regular  feature  of  the 
Stampede,  is  an  attempt  to  get  a  cross 
section  of  the  views'  of  the  student 
body.  The  questions  which  are  asked 
will  be  of  campus  interest  and  also 
on  topics  of  national  scope. 

The  current  question  is  a  natural 
follow-up  to  a, current  phrase  g;ping  • 
around;  namely,.  "Hark,  the  herald 
angels  shout — thi'ee  more  days  and 
we'll  be  out!!"  Why  all  this  commo- 
tion about  Christmas  vacation?  What 
is  there. to  look  forward  to?  .  .  .  Thus 
the  following  question:  "What  are  you 
looking  forward  to  most  during 
Christmas  vacation?" 

"Flash":  "Bemg.  away  from  the 
wrestling  of  my  two  roommates,  Pos- 
ton  and  Poorman." 

Carolyn  Greene:  "Seeing  Glenn." 

Raymond  Kisner:  "Getting  away 
from   those   blasted  books." 

Gene  Stephenson:  "Seeing  old 
friends  again." 

Pat  Topping:  "Plenty  of  sleep, 
Christmas  day,  and  goLijg  to  Florida.'! 

Roxy:  "Good  food,. sleep,  warm- days 
in  Florida,  and  entertaining  Pat  Top- 
ping-." 

Bill  Davis:  "Not  washing  dishes. 

■  Mamoru:  "Studying  and  working  on 

a  paper  for  the  Social  Science  Club." 

Omer  Hamlin:  "Working  on  the 
farm." 

Mary  Speer:  "Visiting  friends,  rest- 
ing, and  having  a  happy  birthday." 

Gorda:  "Enjoying  all  those  nice 
things  that  go  along  with  being 
home." 

Stuffy:  "California,  here  I  come  (I 
hope)." 

Dr.  Crouch:  "Ha-ving  some  un^ter- 
rupt'ed  study  and  no  classes,  to  bother 
with."  ~" 

As  for  me,  I  won't  go  to  Florida, 
Mexico,  or  California.  I  probably 
won't  work,  and  Lknow  I  won't  study. 
I'll  probably  carry  myself  back  to 
ole  Virginny,  freeze  to  death  and  get 
homesick  (for  Milligan,  of  course). 

So,  with  best  wishes  for  a  IJappy 
Christmas  and  a  Merry  New  Year, 
I  remain, 

-Tenderly,

to  T.  P„  who  presented  the  keys  of  the 
Student  Union  Building  to  Johnny 
Byrd,  president  of  the  Student  Coun- 
cil. Johrmy  remarked  that  he,  not 
only  speaking  for  the  present  student 
body,  but  for  past 'ones  and  future 
ones  to  come,  would  always  cherish 
the  memories  and  experiences  that 
have  come  about  as  a  result  of  this 
project.  Johnny  then  passed  the  keys 
on  to  Dr.  Walker  who"  said  that  he 
would  "open  the  door"  and  hoped 
that  the  students  would  enjoy  it  as  a 
center  of  campus  life.  _Dr.  Walker 
closed  his  talk  by  stating:  "Never 
should  one  enter  the  door  of  the  Stu- 
dent Union  Building  without  think- 
ing of  the  unselfish  time  and  labor 
given  during  its  building  by  Mr.  MiUi-

"V^l.  19  MILLIGAN  COLLEGE,  TENNESSEE,  TUESDAY,  FEBRUARY   9,   lOSJ" 

DERTHICK  MEMORIAL  SERVICE  HELD  HERE  JANUARY  17 

Dr.   Eyler  Was   Speaker 

Dx.  C.  M.  Eyler,  superintendent  of 
schools  in  Bristol,  Tennessee,  and 
former  dean  of  Milligan  College,  was 
the  speaker  at  the  memorial  service 
for  the  late  Pearl  J.  Derthick,  wife 
of  Milligan's  President-Emeritus,  Dr. 
Henry  J.  Derthick,  which  was  held  in 
the  college  auditorium,  Monday,  Janu- 
ary 17,  1955.  Mrs.  Derthick  died  on 
December  11,  1954,  of  a  lingering  ill- 
ness. A  number  of  the  Derthick's 
dose  friends  and  former  students 
were  present  for  the  service. 

Following  an  organ  prelude,  the 
Milligan  College  girl's  trio,  composed 
of  Patsy  Masters,  Carol  Wardle,  and 
Diaime  Barnes,  opened  the  program 
by  singing  "In  The  Garden,"  after 
which  President  Walker  read  scrip- 
ture selections  and  gave  the  morning 
prayer.  The  trio  again  sang,  this 
time  "Have  Thine  Own  Way,"  a  fa- 
vorite song  of  Mrs.  Derthick. 

Dr.  Eyler  brought  a  very  commem- 
orative message  concerning  the  life 
and  work  of  Mrs.  Derthick  while  she 
was  at  Milligan.  She  shared  twenty- 
three  years  here  with  President  Der- 
thick and  in  those  years,  her  service 
as  assistant  to  the  President  and  dean 
of  women,  and  her  care  of  the  build- 
ings and  grounds  was  unmatched,  as 
Dr.  Eyler  pointed  out  in  his  address. 
Among  other  things,  he  related  sev- 
eral incidents  that  pointed  out  the

Wanted:  Occupant  For  New  Semester; 
Supply  References  From  Last  Semester 

You  can  wipe  those  "sweat-drops  of  blood"  off  your  foreheads  now — the 
semester's  end  is  at  last  upon  us,  and  a  new  one  is  ready  to  fill  the  vacancy. 
Sure,  this  last  semester  has  had  its  heartaches,  its  hard  work,  its  cares — but 
there  have  been  plenty  "of  bright  spots  to  even  the  scale,  too.  Don't  let 
this  last  week  get  you  down,  for,  after  all,  those  grades  you  make  aren't 
the  last  step  in  your  life — they  are  just  stepping  stones  to  bigger  things.  Who,

ing  semester  with  eager  minds  and 
hearts,,  ready  to  paint  each  picture 
of  life  as  the  Master  Artist  directs. 

There   aye   about   fifteen  new   stu- 
dents coming  to  Milligan  this  semes- 
ter— let's  show   them,   and  ourselves,   ■ 
too,   that  Milligan  stands  for  every- 
thing the  catalogs  say  it  does. 

Of  course,  this  is  all  "old-hat"  to  the. 
upper  classmen,  but  for  the  freshmen, 
it's  the  end  of  their  first  semester. 
How  about  it,  freshmen?  What  have 
you  done  this  last  semester?  Step 
back,  and  take  a  look  at  what  you've 
painted — maybe  it's  smeared  in  spots, 
and  possibly  crumpled  or  dirty,  but, 
all  in  all,  don't  you  think  it's  a  good 
picture?  If  you  have  been  weighed 
in  the  balance  and  found  wanting  for 
this  last  semester's  work,  try  a  little 
harder  now.  Make  some  "new-semes-

'Raiders^  Alias  "^Prospects' 
Visit    Milligan 

By  JIM  BUCKLES 

On  Monday  afternoon,  January  10, 
five  students  walked  into  the  halls  of 
the  administration  building.  Realiz-- 
ing  that  someone  was  talking  to  Miss 
Hale,  the  Registrar,  they  browsed 
around  reading  the  bulletin  boards. 
When  Miss  Hale  was  finished,  they 
came  over  and  introduced  themselves 
as  prospects  from  Memphis  and  Penn- 
sylvania. They  had  some  story  about 
one  of  their  fathers  being  stationed  in 
Memphis,  and  they  had  all  been  to 
see  him  and  were  on  their  way  back 
to  Pennsylvania  and  were  looking 
over  schools.  Miss  Hale  talked  with 
them  and  I  got  them  some  _  materials 
such  as  catalogs,  etc.  Miss  Jones 
came  in  and  they  had  to  tell  their 
story  over  again  to  her  because  no 
one  could  seem  to  remember-just  how 
they  had  told  it.  Soon  they  had  met 
Dean  Oakes,  and  then  Dr.  Walker 
w,as  called  from  the  faculty  meeting 
to  talk  with  them.  They  seemed  very 
impressed  with  what  they  had  been 
told.  All  the  faculty  had  to  ^o  to  their 
meeting,  so  Miss  Hale  asked .  me  to 
show  them  around  the  campus.  I 
started  by  giving  them  a  little  his- 
tory that  is  associted  with  the  build- 
ings, etc.  They  told  me  that  they  had 
been  out  to  State  College  and  wanted 
to  know  if  we  ever  played  them  in 
any  sports.  I  told  them  we  did  and 
that  they  were  our  biggest  rivals.  The 
discussion  led  on  to  "State  week"  and 
about  all  the  times  and  things  that 
precede  the  weeks  prior  to  games  be- 
tween the  two  schools.  We  went  into 
the  gymnasium,  jwhere  they  saw  the 
Buffalo.  They  wanted  to  know  if 
they  might  get  a  closer  look,  so  I  took 
them  over  and  .  they  really  got  a 
close  look.  They  remarked  something 
about  having  a  bull  dog  back  in 
Pennsylvania  and  that  when  he  died, 
they  would  have  him  stuffed  like  that. 
We  went  to  see  the  dining  hall  and 
they  said  then  that  they  would  have

Plans  Progressing 
For  Neiv  Dormitory 

The  new  Milligan  dormitory  is  stiU 
a  few  months  away  from  becoming 
a  concrete  reality,  but,  have  no  fears, 
there  is  no  chance  that  this  long- 
sought  dream  wiU  fade  away.  In  a 
recent  interview.  Dr.  Walker  stated 
that  "the  contractor  is  up  to  his  neck 
in  specifications  now,  and  bids  are 
expected  to  be  delivered  within  a 
short  period  of  time." 

The  site  for  the  dormitory  has  now 
definitely  been  chosen.  It  will  be 
erected  on  the  hiU  in  back  of  Pardee 
Hall,  close  by  where  the  reservoir  is. 
This  spot  had  been  spoken  of  very 
favorably  before  the  actual  choice 
was  made.  Commenting  on  the 
choice  of  this  particular  location.  Dr. 
Walker  stated,  "aside  from  the  im- 
mediate reasons  in  favor  of  this  spot, 
it  was  chosen  with  far-sighted  regard 
for  the  futxire  development  of  the 
Milligan  campus."  In  conclusion.  Dr.  , 
Walker  exhibited  a  very  optimistic

NEW  STUDENTS".  .  .  . 

If  you're  among  the  fifteen  new 
friends  who  are  joining  the  Milligan 
family  this  semester,  step  out  and  in- 
troduce yourself — we  want  to  know 
who  you  are.  If  you  have  been  here 
for  a  few  days,  you  probably  already 
know  more  about  Milhgan  than  I 
could  teU.  you.  If  you  are  newer  than 
that  to  the  Milligan  campus,  you'U 
make  friends  rapidly,  for  Milligan  is 
a  friendly  place.  Of  course,  there  are 
those  few  cubes*  who  are  willing  to 
give  any  place  a  bad  name,  but,  thank 
goodness,  they  are  few  and  far  be- 
tween. As  I  said  before,  step  out,  and 
make  yourself  known  .  .  .  make  your- 
self a  real  part  of  the  Milligan  family 
life  .  .  .  you'U  be  glad  you  did.

THE   STAMPEDE  THAT 

MIGHT  NOT 

Remember  that  buffalo  I  told  you 
about  earlier  in  the  year?  Well, 
among  his  many  ventures  here  at  Mil- 
ligan was  the  organization  of  a  real 
honest-to-goodness  Stampede,  design- 
ed to  furnish  "Buffalo  power"  for  the 
pushes  and  pull  that  Milligan  would 
need  in  the  future.  That  Stampede 
has  had  its  ups  and  downs  in  the 
past,  and  again  needs  the  help-  of 
some  more  of  you  MiUigan  "buf- 
faloes." If  V  you  can  push  a  pencil, 
carry  a  typewritter,  or  throw  the  bull- 
whoops!!  ...  I  mean  buffalo,  see  me 
in  Pardee  Hall.  If  I'm  not  in  my  room, 
I'U  be  out  on  the  campus  somewhere 
with  my  "news-nose"  on.  Seriously, 
the  Stampede  does  have  a  big  need 
for  reporters.  If  you're  interested  let 
me  know. 

EDITOR'S  MAIL  BOX  .... 

If  you  are  capable  of  forming  an 
opinion,  you  ought  to  be  able  to  write 
it  down.  If  you  are  so  inclined,  give 
it  to  one  of  the  buffaloes  on  the  Stam- 
pede staff,  or  mail  it  to  Box  53,  Mil- 
ligan College,  Tennessee.-  There  will 
always  be  space  reserved  in  the  Stam-

praises,  etc.  All  letters  must  be  sign-

Believe,  it  or  not,  the-  Stampede 
staff  has  a  problem;  Namely,  whether 
to  continue  with  this  size  paper,  or 
to  revert  to  the  size  used  in  previous 
years.  For  those  of  you  who  have 
never  seen  one,  last  year's  paper  was 
11  1/2  inches  wide  and  17  1/2  inches 
long,  with  5  columns.  With  the  money 
allotted  the  Stampede,  we  can  either 
put  out  a  paper  like  the  present  one 
once  every  two  weeks,  or  put  out  the 
bigger  paper  not-so-often,  with  pic- 
tures, cuts,  more  news,  etc.  If  you 
have  any  opinions  regarding  the  mat- 
ter, let  us  know.  We  would  appre- 
ciate having  someone  make  up  our 
minds  for  us.

at  the  service  ■  of  others,  whether  it 
was  in  the  ^ield  of  giving  sympathy

whether  it  was  cheering' from  the 
sidelines  for  the  basketball  boys  while 
they  were  out  on  the  court. 

He  paid  high  tribute  to  her  friend-

also  pointed  out  how  the  Milligan 
Cqllege  of  today  is  carrying  out  the 
traditions  and  programs  started  by 
people  like  President  and  Mrs.  Der- 
thick, and  their  predecessors.

EDITOR'S 
MAILBOX 

Dear  students: 

Ahem!  Ahem!  I  say  there!  Pardon 
me,  but  would  you  lend  me  a  minute 
of  your  time  and  hear  me  out?  I 
have  an  awful  ache,  and,  perhaps, 
discussing  it  with  you  might  help. 
Yes,  a  terrible  ailment.  No,  it's  real- 
ly not  my  "health  condition  that's 
bothering  jne.  It's  something  deeper 
than  that.  No,  it's  just  something  in- 
side I  can't  seem  to  satisfy,  -and  it's 
not--  one  single  pain  or  complaint, 
either,  but  a  continuous  sort  of  dis- 
comfort. 

For  an  example — I  just  don't  feel 
like  taking  part  in  activities  like  I 
used  to.  I  don't  believe  I've  attended 
a  Wednesday  assembly  in  eons — not 
even  for  pep  rallies;  and,  for  that 
matter,  I  have  even  suffered  at  a 
B.  B.  game.  Shucks,  I  was  feeling 
fine  when  Prof  F.  took  me  out  on 
the  floor  for  a  fine,  rousing  cheer  the 
other  night,  (by  the  way,  I  think  he 
enjoyed  doing  it.)  and,  boy,  I  was 
jumping  most  of  the  time^  and  then 
something  happened.  We  were  near- 
ing  the  100th  point  in  fine  style,  and 
just  about  the  time  J.  Hall  did  his 
bit,  I  found  a  part  of  this  body  just 
.hurting  for  all  it  was  worth.  No  mat- 
ter how  hard  the  fella's  and  the 
cheerleaders  yelled,  I  wasn't  doing  my 
best  supporting  them — something  like 
a  house  divided  against  itself  .  .  . 

Now,  careful,  that's  a  sore  bruise 
you're  touching  when  /ou  mention 
the  Buffalo  affair  at  the  Tusculum 
game.  Hands  off  that,  you  hear? 

Say  now,  when  school  started  X  was 
feeling  fine.  I  even  got  some  new 
clothes  from  some  of  the  clubs  around 
here — Drama,  Ministerial  Association, 
Athletic,  and  Christian  Service,  to 
mention  just  a  few.  But  trouble  again 
— the  material  isn't  holding  together — 
holes  aU  the  way  through  them — and 
with  exams  and  term  papers,  I  just 
haven't  had  time  to  patch  them  up 
right  now,  too,  when  it's  cold  outside. 

Oh,  but  I  do  have  my  ointments, 
my  crutches,  my  better  days.  Why, 
the  most  soothing  thing  cooled  my 
fevered  brow  the  other  day  (dramatic, 
aren't  I?).  Willingly,  a  student — a  fine 
pianist — volunteered  his  time  to  play 
for  Mr.  Derthick  when  he  learned 
that  this  gentleman  had  recently  pur- 
chased a  new  piano.  Then  he  also 
went  about  to  find  another  to  go 
along  and  sing,  as  additional  en- 
couragement and  entertainment.  And 
I  felt  I  was  in  my  earlier  youth  the 
evening  of  Founder's  Day.  Groups  of 
students  and  teachers  had  made 
posters,  worked  hard  on  the  program 
and  settings,  (with  play  practice  to 
boot),  been  waitresses,  worked  on 
makeup,  etc.,  and  many  with  little 
or  no  formal  credit.  Came  the  happy 
announcement  of  the  new  dorm,  and 
I  tho't  old  man  sickness  was  heading 
north  for  good  (pardon  me,  Yankees 
— I  mean  way,  way  north.)  But  I 
guess  I  was  wrong.  ' 

Yet,  when  I  sit  in  our  beautiful  new

THE     STAMPEDE

KLUB  KORNER 

Lee  Moothart— Ciub  Editor 

SPANISH  CLUB 

On  Thursday,  January  13,  approxi- 
mately fifty  Spanish  students  slid  off 
in  the  snow  and  ice  for  Knoxville  to 
attend  the  Spanish  movie,  "Dona 
Perfecta." 

Most  of  us  arrived  at  the  IJniver- 
sjty  around  noon  and  enjoyed  a  de- 
licious lunch  in  the  coUege  cafeteria. 
Then  we  made  a  tour  of  the  campus. 
One  of  the  most  beautiful  buildings 
on  campus  was  their  brand-new  Stu- 
dent Center.  It  is  lavishly  furnished 
and  well  equipped  for  just  about  any- 
thing imaginable.  Later  in  the  after- 
noon we  visited  the  Carousel  Thea- 
ter and  watched  them  rehearse  "Angel 
Street."  While  we  were  there  we 
were  taken  through  the  make-up  room 
and  work  shop.  From  the  theater  we 
went  to  the  Spanish  movie. 

The  film  was  produced  by  a  Mexi- 
can Company.  A  Spanish  American 
setting  in  Santa  Fe,  Old  Mexico,  was 
used,  and  very  good  acting  was  por- 
trayed by  Delores  Del  Rio  as  Dona 
Perfecta;  Esther  Fernandez  as  Rosa- 
rio,  Dona  Perfecta's  only  daughter; 
and  Carlos  Navarro  as  Pepe  Rey, 
Dona  Perfecta's  nephew.  The  story 
is  of  the  revolt  against  the  narrow  re- 
ligious beliefs  during  the  second  half 
of  the  nineteenth  century,  and  Dona 
Perfecta,  an  arrogant  and  energetic 
widow,  whose  actions  and  Words  ruled 
the  lives  of  the  town's  people. 

Several  car  loads  stayed  that  eve- 
ning to  see  the  baUet  presented  by 
the  London  Company,  from  London, 
England.  It  seems  they  enjoyed  it 
very  much,  as  they  returned  with 
glowing  accounts  of  the  presentation. 

DRAMATICS  CLUB 

This  semester  we  want  to  enlarge 
the  membership  of  our  club  to  its 
maximum.  After  seeing  our  success- 
ful activities  of  this  past  semester  we 
know  the  group  of  students  desiring 
to  be  a  part  of  the  Dramatics  Club 
will  be  a  large  one. 

The  latest  concern  of  the  club  is  to 
acquire  the  old  store  for  a  workshop 
to  fit  the  needs  of  the  growing  organi- 
zation. Mr.  Niles  has  reported  that 
perhaps  in  the  near  future  we  wiU 
have  this  or  some  other  locality  for 
the  development  of  stage  properties 
and  meeting  of  the  club  members  in 
work  of  a  profitable  basis  for  the 
furthering  of  the  department.  This 
building  will  give  us  a  central  loca- 
tion for  play  production  that  we  now 
lack. 

This  wiU  be  the  last  time  news 
will  appear  in  the  STAMPEDE  under 
the  heading  of  the  "Dramatics  Club." 
A  new  name  is  being  chosen  and  a 
pin  which  may  be  worn  by  the  mem- 
bers of  the  Club  will  be  designed. 

Milligan's  chapter  of  Alpha  Psi 
Omega  is  being  revived.  This  is  a  na- 
tional fraternity  for  those  outstand- 


ing members  of  the  Club.  Points  are 
earned  by  playing  a  major  or  sup- 
porting role,  by  assisting  in  directing, 
by   assisting   in  play   production.  . 

Rehearsals  are  imderway  for  our 
next  play,  "A  Bill  of  Divorcement." 
This  one  will  be  on  the  serious  side. 
The  cast  is  strenoiiously  striving  for 
perfection  in  this  production.  We're 
just  waiting  to  hear  the  date  an- 
nounced! 

PRE-MED  CLUB 

The  annual  banquet  of  the  Pre-Med 

Club  w^s  held  at  the  Roan  Restau 

■  rant,  January  8.    It  was  formal  too! 

When  they  plan  something  you  can 

be  sure  it  won't  be  anything  small. 

The  favors  and  place  cards  were 
even  of  the  medical  design.  Each 
person  present  had  his  name  painted 
on  a  shingle  for  a  place  card.  Just 
like  a  real  doctor!  The  favors,  better 
known  as  sucker  scopes,  were  minia- 
ture stethoscopes  with  suckers  for  the 
disc.  — 

Solos  by  Helen  Fife  and  a  cello  solo 
by  Julie  Green,  both  accompanied  by 
Miss  Weimer  on  the  autoharp,  served 
as  the  entertainment  for  the  gala  af- 
fair. 

Dr.  Bowman,  a  pediatrician  and 
former  student  of  MiUigan  was  the 
speaker.  He  spoke  on  three  phases  of 
medicine: ,  the  heritage,  the  practice, 
and  the  progress. 

Everyone  had  such  a  wonderful 
time,  and  the  food  was  delicious!  We 
were  all  sorry  that  Ron  and  yvonne 
could  not  attend.  What  a  time  for 
Ron  to  be  sick! 


Cheek  Chatter 

By  JULIE  GREEN 

Winning  basketball  games  has  been 
the  main  activity  at  Cheek  Hall  since 
Christmas  vacation.  Of  course,  there 
has  been  "some  study  and  chatter 
thrown  in  just  for  the  kicks  (or  for 
the  marks??) 

A  few  new  couples  have  been  seen 
leaving  the  lobby  or  coming  home 
from  their  date.  Among  them  are  Dee 
and  Freddy!! 

These  people  who  live  close  to 
home,  or  have  roommates  that  do, 
surely  have  it  easy.  Liz  DeArmond 
and  Judy  Reutebeugh  took  a  pre- 
exam  trip  to  Knoxville.  Liz's  home 
town. 

Going  home^  seemed  to  help  most 
of  the  girls.  Marg  Hastings  doesn't 
make  those  midnight  calls  to  In- 
dianapolis anymore,  and  Dianne 
Barnes  averages  a  little  better  than 
five  hours  of  sleep  a  night  now.  Home 
sweet  home  is  great,  but  so  is  our 
Cheek  HaU.

longer,  study  those  few  extra  minutes, 
and,  when  you  play,  play  cleanly,  and 
play  for  all  you  are  worth. 

Then,  at  the  end  of  the  year,  you 
will  truly  be  proud  of  yourself.  You'll 
know,  and  God  will,  too,  that  you've

The  girls  at  Hardin  arrived  by  bus,

earliest  arrivals  were  Marilyn  and 
Barbara  Smith.  The  door  was  locked

sounding through  the  halls  could  be 
heard  loud  cries  of  "Happy  New 
Year!"  (At  six  o'clock  in  the  morn- 
ing, yet)  ' 

At  Hardin  also,  diamonds  are  spark- 
ling— the  third  floor  practically  glows 
since  Joyce  Wagner  came  back  with 
hers.  Billie  Blankenship  had  a  big 
Christmas — she  got  a  ring  from  that

Vacation  time  seems  a  long  time 
ago  but  its  memories  are  still  fresh. 

You  probably  know  by-  now  that  I 
went  to  Florida.  Roxy  did  just  what 
she  said  she  would  (look  it  up  in  De- 
cember issue),  i  also  met  Carolyn's 
dream  man.  He  reaUy  gave  her  a  rock 
to  sport  around,  didn't  he?!!  I  guess 
she'ii  be  wearing  the  other  one  for 
good,  starting  August  1.  O  Happy 
Day!!! 

Donna  really  went  far  from  Milli- 
gan — all  the  way  to  Oregon.  Her  folks 
recently  moved  there.  Guess  what!! 
She  learned  (almost)  to  ski.  She 
doesn't  even  have  a  broken  bone  to 
show  for  it. 

We're  glad  to  have  Sue  back  with 
us  after  about  a  week's  absence.  She 
flew  over  mOes  and  miles  of  snow. 
Boy!  ru  bet  that  was  a  beautiful  sight 
on  which  to  focus  one's  eyeballs. 

Y'aU  come.  We'll  make  you  feel 
right  at  home.  Bye,  now!!

THE     STAMPEDE 


Tuesday,  February  9,  1955 


CONCERNING  CHURCH 
COLLEGES  —  AND  YOU 

(In  as  much  as  Milligan  is  a 
church  college,  it  might  be  well  if 
we  understood  a  few  facts  con- 
cerning these  colleges.  This  article 
is  the  first  in  a  series  of  three  de- 
signed to  acquaint  you  with  some  of 
the  facts.) 

The  church  colleges  of  this  nation 
are  trying  to  impress  on  the  minds  of 
their  students  that  a  country  like  ours 
needs  more  than  big  machines  nm  by 
little  men.  At  a  time  when  we  need 
free  men  in  a  free  society,  when 
democracy  draws,  not  on  catchwords 
and  established  rules  and  customs, 
but  on  deep  and  strong  beliefs  in  God 
and  man  himself,  there  is  a  definite 
appreciation  for  any  education  that 
has  at  its  heart  the  informing  power 
of  faith. 

A  church  college  holds  in  common 
with  the  church  that  life  was  not  a 
mere  accident  in  time — that,  rather, 
there  is  an  intelligence  behind  the 
world,  an  intelligence  whose  highest 
quality  is  love.  It  holds  that  there  was 
a  great  event  in  history,  when  God  was 
revealed  in  Jesus  Ciirist  and  life  tri- 
umphed over  death.  It  holds  that  God 
works  through  history  and  men,  men 
given  the  creative  gift  of  freedom  and 
Uie  great  gift  of  mercy. 

These  beliefs  are  great  and  magm- 
ficient.  They  are  the  central  behef 
which  no  man  or  institution  can  logi- 
cally hold  without  placing  them  at 
the  center.  A  church  college,  then,  is 
a  traitor  to  its  own  essence  if  it  does 
not  place  these  beliefs  at  the  center 
of  all  Its  functions. 

So  it  is  that  one  of  the  great  philo- 
sophers of  the  day  has  said,  "Secular- 
education  believes  that  life  is  secular. 
Religious  education  believes  that  life 
is  sacred.  All  the  difference  is  there." 

Why  not  let  the  government  sup- 
port the  colleges  with  the  necessary 
funds  and  let  the  churches  have  de- 
nominational houses?  Why  doesn't  the 
church  pull  out  of  education,  stop 
spending  large  amounts  of  money  that 
do  not  produce  the  direct  results  that 
we  can  achieve  through  other  church 
activities? 

These  are  fair  questions.  They  are 
alarmingly  valid  if  the  church  col- 
lege is  no  no  more  than  what  a  lot 
of  its  friends  think  it  is — a  college 
with  chapel  services,  rules,  and  some 
required  courses  in  Bible  and  relig- 
ion merely  added  on. 

Chapel  services,  decent  standards 
of  living,  and  required  religious  study 
are  def mitely  valuable  features  of  a 
church  college.  But  they  alone  do  not 
justify  the  high  cost  of  the  church 
being  in  the  business  of  higher  edu- 
cation. One  can  have  chapel  more 
cheaply  than  that.  One  can  set  up  a 
Sunday  School  and  give  religious  in- 
struction for  a  lot  less  money— cer- 
tainly without  setting  up  scientific 
laboratories,  collecting  large  libraries 
and  building  a  group  of  academic  de- 


partments. If  chapel,  rules  and  re- 
ligious instruction  were  all  a  church 
college  was,  then  it  would  be,  in  the 
words  of  Dr.  Frank  Caldwell,  a  "con- 
cept of  addition  that  can  be  devastat- 
ing when  applied  to  Christianity. 
For  Christianity  is  no  little  'plus'  add- 
ed on  to  secular  life  and  thought.  It  is 
no  thin  icing  spread  over  the  outside 
of  a  black  cake  to  make  it  look  white. 
It  is  normative.  It  has  to  do  with  the 
essence  of  life  and  the  whole  of  life." 
A  church  college  is  more  than  a  pro- 
gram grcifted  onto  itsell  It  is  more 
than  a  few  random  hits  at  ethics  and 
religion.  It  is  the  demonstration  that, 
Christianity  is  one  of  the  live  options, 
good  for  every  part  of  life.  The  church 
college  is  not  a  PART  of  a  religious 
program  —  it  IS  a  religious  program. 

The  justification  of  a  church  college 
lies  in  the  unity  of  its  work,  in  its 
chance  of  being  a  community  quietly 
demonstrating  that  the  mind  of  the 
world  is  the  mind  of  God,  and  that 
the  truth  of  the  world  is  His  truth 
at  every  point. 

A  church  college  has  a  more  com- 
mon responsibility  to  treat  fairly  all 
sides  of  every  question.  It  is  not  a 
nervous  or  bigoted  experiment  in 
propaganda,  or  a  plot  against  intelli- 
gence. Its  role  is  not  to  change  or 
depress  the  known  facts.  Its  role  is, 
rather,  to  go  on  to  the  higher  step  of 
thinking  about  the  known  facts,  in 
terms  of  man's  highest  and  deepest 
questions,  in  the  light  of  all  we  know 
as  men,  and  in  the  light  of  Christian 
thought  and  revelation.  Because  it 
does  insist  that  the  examination  of 
things  be  thus  full,  because  it  does 
ask  that  learning  be  concerned  with 
our  highest  aspirations.  Christian 
Education  may  well  turn  out  to  be 
the  truest  form  of  liberal  education. 

The  church  college  is  Ukened  to  the 
laboratory  process  that  is  Christian 
living.  It  suggests  that  Christianity 
is  not  to  be  understood  merely  by  be- 
ing studied.  Religion  is  caught  by  ex- 
Eunple  and  must  be  lived  in  order  to 
be  comprehended.  The  Christian 
community  of  a  church  college — pro- 
fessors, students,  deans,  trustees, 
president,  and  other  employees — 
should  teach  in  many  ways  beyond 
the  classroom.  In  such  a  community 
a  student  may  happily  come  to  see, 
regardless  of  the  mistakes  and  im- 
perfections the  college  may  have,  that 
Christian  living  is  more  than  just  a 
theory.  It  is  a  life.  It  arises,  in  the 
most  cultivated  and  in  the  most  hum- 
ble person,  out  of  work  well  done, 
prayer,  love,  and  help  of  one's  feUow 
man,  out  of  the  difficult  but  possible 
art  of  trying  to  do  the  wiU  of  the 
Father  in  heaven.  And  at  the  heart 
of  such  an  effort  in  the  spirit  of 
Christ. 


Ron  SpoUs  111 

Ron  Spotts  left  with  his  parents  on 
January  23  for  a  three  to  four  week 
rest  at  his  home  in  Beech  Creek, 
Pennsylvania.  Ron  had  been  very  ill 
previously,  due  to  a  liver  infection, 
and  this  was  the  cause  of  his  "forced" 
rest.  The  hopes  and  prayers  for  a 
speedy  recovery  go  forth  from  aU  the 
students  here  at  MUligan — "Come 
back  soon,  Ron  ...  all  is  forgiven."

will  be  happy  to  go  if  Lloyd  Deyton 
goes,  and  Chad  Bowling  and  Razz 
Fletcher  don't  go.  Bobby  Waites  said, 
"I'm  not  worried,  (jeorgia  just  seceded 
from  the  Union."  John  Worrell  would 
like  to  know  if  they  have  rifles  with 
a  notch  for  his  nose.  "Chubby"  Fair- 
ciiUd  boasted,  "they  won't  take  me 
unless  they  want  to  end  it  quick." 
Oh,  there  were  many  other  comments 
that  have  been  made,  however,  they 
were  not  stated  in  good  grammatical 
English,  thus  unquotable.  Editorial

THE     STAMPEDE 


Page  Five 


Faculty  "Came  As  It 
Was"  On  January  17 

Dean  Ookes'  home  was  the  scene 
of  the  Faculty  Club  party  on  Monday 
night  January  17. 

The  party  was  a  "come  as  you  are" 
affair,  and  since  the  party  committee 
delivered  the  invitations  at  different 
hours  of  the  day,  there  was  great 
variety  in  party  dress.  Prof.  Fair- 
banks was  caught  in  the  act  of  drying 
dishes  in  his  wife's  apron.  Mary 
Perry,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Neth,  and  Dean 
and  Mrs.  Oakes  were  attired  in  their 
"dreamland  best'V  or  their  pajamas, 
in  other  words,  when  they  were 
handed  an  invitation  at  6:30  in  the 
morning. 

"Passmg  the  apple  from  neck  to 
neck,"  and  charades  were  among  the 
entertaining  games  played. 

Square  cake,  ice  cream,  and  mints 
were  served  with  the  idea  of  "square 
eats  for  the  squares." 

The  entertainment  committee  for 
this  month,  which  consists  of  Miss 
Wiemer,  the  Duard  Walkers,  and  Mr. 
and  Mrs.  Fife,  did  a  grand  job  in 
planning  the  party. 


The  ROVING  REPORTER 

By  The  Roving  Reporter 

The  question  set  forth  this  week  to 
obtain  a  cross-section  of  student  opin- 
ion was,  "What  one  event  have  you 
enjoyed  most  at  MiUigan  this  year?" 
The  answers  were  entirely  spontan 
ecus,  and  they  seem  to  reflect  one 
thing — a  student  enjoys  the  thing 
which  he  does  the  most  and  gets  the 
most  out  of. 

Alice  Jermyn:  "Prayer  meeting  op 
the  Wednesday  night  of  Twirp  Week." 

John  Mills:  "The  honor  of  being 
elected  vice-president  of  the  Fresh- 
man class." 

Ruth  Eason;  "Sadie  Hawkins  Day." 

Jim  Crouch:  "Playing  on  a  bas- 
ketball team  that  has  won  six  out  of 
the  last  eight  games." 

Jack  Leimbach:  "Managing  the  bas- 
ketball team  that  will  win  the  Smoky 
Mountain    Conference." 

Palma  Bennett:  "Twirp  Week  and 
its  consequences." 

Ross  Stills:  "Saturday  night  of 
Twirp  Week." 

Al  Brockman:  "Greek  class." 

Betty  Stout:  "Seeing  what  sloppy 
housekeepers  the  boys  were  on 
Founder's  Day."  (And  they  were!)

March,  1955. 

You  might  read  ifito  "the  far-sight- 
ed regard  for  the  future  development 
of  the  MiUigan  campus"  many  things, 
but  one  thing  is  certain  .  .  .  Milligan 
is  growing,  and  we  must  all  adapt  our 
minds  to  that  fact,  and  grow  with  her. 

The  true  test  of  civilization  is  not 
the  census  nor  the  size  of  cities,  nor 
the  crops — no,  but  the  kind  "of  man 
the  country  turns  out.

KNOWLEDGE  OF  SOCIAL 
SCIE5fCES  IS  RESPON- 
SIBILITY  OF   YOUTH 

By  MAMORU  ISHIKAWA 

When  we  look  at  the  world  today, 
we  realize  the  complicated  shape  of 
the  progress  of  present  history.  The 
difference  in  economical  systems  has 
divided  this  world  politically  into  two 
blocks,  West  and  East,  and  this,  more 
and  more,  increases  the  critical  feel- 
ing toward  war.  Moreover,  that  mar- 
velous development  of  science  since 
the  beginnmg  of  the  twentieth  cen- 
tury, which  finally  resulted  in  the 
utilization  of  atomic  energy,  proposes 
a  more  serious  crisis  to  us. 

In  this  total  pictiu-e  of  the  world 
condition,  it  would  be  well  to  stop 
and  consider  what  role  youth  can 
play.  We  dare  not  be  ignorant  of  the 
happenings  of  the  current  world. 
Energy  and  enthusiasm  are  inherent 
in  youth;  when  youth  learns  to  har- 
ness and  channel  these  qualities  in  a 
creative  and  constructive  way,  much 
will  be  contributed  to  a  better  world. 

For  the  college  student,  the  search- 
ing for  truth,  whenever  or  however 
it  is  to  be  found,  is  his  first  task. 
Therefore,  one  great  way  that  we  can 
assume  the  tremendous  responsibil- 
ities for  our  day  is  through  an  im- 
derstanding  of  social  sciences  such 
as  philosophy,  economics,  political 
science,  and  sociology. 

Out  of  the  realization  of  this  neces- 
sity, the  Social  Science  Clijb  was  or- 
ganized. From  a  humble  beginning, 
we  aspire  toward  the  realization  of 
these  high  purposes.  We,  the  mem- 
bers of  the  Social  Science  Club,  cor- 
dially invite  each  and  every  student 
to  come  to  our  meetings  held'  at  5:30 
every  Saturday  in  Pardee.

Sub  and  look  across  the  football  field 
to  Buffalo  Mountain,  bow  my  head  in 
chapel  as  someone  gives  thanks  for 
many  blessings,  hear  the  clang_of  the 
dinner  bell  as  it  rings  out,  announcing 
another  haird-fought  victory,  run  down 
the  court  with  the  energetic  girl's 
basketball  team,  or  stand,  as  a  group 
singing  the  Alma  Mater,  then  I  just 
hate  to  think  I  was  wrong. 

Hey!!  .  .  .  and  I'm  sensitive.  I  get 
kicked  around  all  the  time;  in  the 
dorms,  in  the  classrooms,  in  the  Sub, 
in  the  shower  rooms,  in  the  dining 
hall,'  and  (naturally,  when  I  should 
be  studying)  in  the  hbrary.  Of  course, 
if  everyone  keeps  talking,  someone 
may  brightly  come  up  with  a  cure. 
You  know,  all  sorts  of  happy  medi- 
cines and  preventions  for  my  par- 
ticular ailment  are  suggested  inside 
the  front  cover  of  the  1955  Milligan 
catalog.  But  something  has  done 
gone  wrong — I  feel  awful,  awful ! !  Do 
you  know  what  I  can  do  to  feel  bet- 
ter? Any  ideas  forthcoming  from 
you?  If  I  don't  get  to  feeling  better, 
I  may  have  to  start  pulling  teeth.  Till 
then, 

Limpingly  yours, 
P.  M.  and  A.  B.  S.,  I.  and  E. 


New  Buffaloes  Run 
Wild  On  Stampede 

If  the  staff  box  looks  rather  large 
to  you  this  time,  don't  let  it  scare  you 
— it's  just  another  evidence  that  the 
STAMPEDE  staff  is  beginning  to  act 
like  they  are  putting  out  a  newspaper. 
Several  new  members  have  been  add- 
ed to  the  staff,  and  several  new  po- 
sitions have  been  created  to  fill  the 
growing  needs  of  the  STAMPEDE). 
Although  their  jobs  have  been  in  ef- 
fect some  time,  we  would  like  to  give 
official  recognition  at  this  time  to  Pat 
Topping,  as  our  gossip  editor,  Lee 
Moothart,  as  our  club- editor,  and  Bil- 
lie  Blankenship,  as  our  exchange  edi- 
tor. Barbara  Scott  is  now  the  feature 
ediotr  of  the  STAMPEDE,  and  Jim 
Buckles  has  been  elevated  ot  the  po- 
sition of  news  editor.  "Flash"  Ellis, 
and  Girmy  Weaver  have  been  added 
to  the  staff  as  reporters. 

Congratulations  to  you  new  mem- 
bers of  the  STAMPEDE,  and  one  last 
word  to  all  of  the  staff  ...  "I  hope 
you  give  back  to  me,  during  the  re- 
mainder of  the  year,  as  much  work  as 
I  hand  out."

Raiders 

(Continued  From  Page  One) 
to  go.  They  stated  that  they  would 
like  to  make  Roanoke  that  night  and 
asked  me  the  way.  I  told  them,  and 
they  shook  hands,  thanked  me  and 
were  on  their  way.  Before  they  left, 
they  asked  if  they  might  be  permitted 
to  drive  around.  I  told  them  it  was 
O.  K.,  and  went  back  to  my  work. 
About  an  hour  later,  after  supper,  I 
passed  them  leaving  the  campus.  I 
thought  they  had  been  watching  the 
team  practice  and  were  just  leaving. 

On  Wednesday  morning,  I  learned 
the  truth  from  Miss  Weimer.  They 
were  a  group  of  students  from  Tus- 
culum  College  who  had  come  up  to 
"steal"  the  Buffalo.  They  had  tried  it 
after  they  left  me  that  afternoon,  but 
someone  caught  them  trying  to  take 
it,  so  they  were  forced  to  abandon 
their  efforts  then.  But  they  had  stay- 
ed around  close,  for  after  the  game 
that  night  with  LMU,  they  had  come 
back  and  taken  it.  They  had  driven 
only  a  short  distance  from  the  cam- 
pus when  they  ran  out  of  gas. 

What  got  them  the  most  was  the 
fact  that  we  had  not  missed  it  until 
they  brought  it  out  x>n  the  floor  at 
half-time.  Some  of  our  students  even 
thought  Tusculum  had  a  buffalo  too. 

We  may  have  been  taken  in,  but 
anyway,  the  buffalo  is-  back  on  cam- 
pus, Milligan  won  the  ball  game,  and 
I  wouldn't  be  surprised  if  we  get  two 
or  three  of  Tusculum's  students  from 
our  recruiting. 

EAR-RING 

All  through  the  football  game  an 
excited  fan  had  been  cheering  his 
home  team  to  victory.  Suddenly  he 
became  silent,  turned  to  his  comi>an- 
ion  and"  whispered,  "I've  lost  my 
voice." 

"Don't  worry,"  was  the  reply. 
"You'U  find  it  in  my  left  ear."

THE    STAMPEDE

STAMPEDE 

SPORTS  SECTIOIS 

Sports  Editor— PAT  HAND 

RINGSIDE  SEAT 


Welcome,  welcome  back  to  the 
printed  pages  of  history  being  made 
by  the  STAMPEDE,  and  a  run-down 
of  the  games  that  have  been  played, 
.  but  haven't  been  told  to  you  yet  in 
my  sparkling  style.  I  wiU  Endeavour 
to  give  you  news  and  notes  that  you 
otherwise  would  not  find  in  our  chief 
"rivals,"  the  Press-Chronicle  and  the 
Star.  However,  for  particulars  of  the 
games — such  as  who  won — I  ask  you 
to  refer  to  our  competitors.  Also,  ex- 
cuse any  bad  English  or  sentences 
that  you  happen  to  run  across;  I  done 
it  on  purpose.  Now  that  I've  'written 
a  preamble,  let's  get  on  with  the  story. 

Tusculum  No.  1  .  .  .  . 

On  January  5  of  this  year,  the 
"Buffaloes"  nudged  the  Tusculum 
"Pioneers"  by  all  of  two  points,  thus 
rewriting  the  pages  of  history  where 
the  pioneers  always  knocks  off  the 
buffalo.  It  has  been  so  long  ago,  and 
since  I  don't  get  paid  for  this,  I've 
forgotten  the  score,  but  it  was  a  very 
exciting  game,  and  a  clean  one,  de- 
spite what  you  saw,  and  a  big  sur- 
prise to  Tusculum.  I  don't  believe  that 
their  coach  moved  for  five  minutes 
after  the  final  buzzer. 

Emory  and  Henry  .  .  . 

On  Jan.  7  came  the  safari  to  Emory 
and  Henry.  "Hundred  to  Henry,"  was 
a  brainchild  conceived  by  Will  Stout, 
Jack  Leimbach  and  Bob  Waites,  and 
they  put  it  into  effect  by  having  Bar- 
bara Scott  paint  some  signs  as  pretty 
as  she  is,  and  then  talking  it  up,  but 
the  Kentucky  Wildcat,  "Tinkie,''  told 
me  that  approximately  137  were 
there.  I  wasn't  there  due  to  domestic 
duties,  but  from  what  I  heard  the 
safari  turned  into  a  SNAFU.  After  the 
game  people  wondered  if  there  would 
be  "Ten  for  Tusculum." 

L  M.  U.  .  ,  . 

Jan.  10  found  the  boys  from  Cum- 
-berland  Gap  (liMU)  going  home  with 
the  short  end  of  a  79  to  77  score.  That 
all  happened  when  Greenwell  split 
the  bucket  with  the  two  game-win- 
ning points  on  foul  shots  as  cleanly  as 
Abe  Lincoln  split  those  rails.  Need- 
less to  say,  Jim  Crouch's  19  points 
were  appreciated  also,  as  were  Co- 
veU's  16,  Greenwell's  15,  and  Gouge's 
12.  Coach  Walker  was  given  one  of 
those  victory  rides  on  the  shoulders 
of  his  jubilant  players. 

Tusculum  ISo.  2  .  .  .  . 

Two  days  later,  on  Jan.  12,  the 
"Buffaloes"  were  again  roaming  the 
range,  and  they  ended  up  ip  Tuscu- 
lum's  gym  to  do  battle,  and  they  did. 
From  the  very  first  Milligan  dominat- 
ed the  play,  and  when  it  ended,   it 


With  PAT  HAND 


was  Milligan  trotting  off  the  floor 
with  an  81  to  71  victory.  It  was  rath- 
er close  in  the  first  half,  but  the  sec- 
ond half  was  a.  cake  walk,  with  Green- 
well  and  Aldridge  providing  the  icing 
with  22  and  18  points,  respectively. 
Barton  and  Covell  hit  12  each,  and 
Gouge  hit  10.  The  Tusculum  players 
celebrated  their  loss  by  burning  parts 
of  their  athletics  equipment  after  the 
game.  During  the  half,  "Old  One  Eye" 
came  wandering  in  on  the  shoulders 
of  the  students  of  our  beloved  rivals, 
and  it  appears  that  the  "Buffalo  wool" 
had  been  puUed  over  our  eyes.  I  did 
have  a  scoop  on  this,  but  "tempus  fu- 
gits,"''and  most  people  know  the  story, 
So  I'll  only  give  the  barest  of  details 
and  let  JIM  BUCKLES  fiU  in  what- 
I  left  out.  It  seems  that  about  five 
boys  came  up  on  Monday,  Jan.  10, 
acting  as  prospective  students.  Of 
course,  in  the  Milligan  way,  we  were 
nice  to  them.  They  were  given  mater- 
ial about  our  school  and  treated  far 
nicer  than  they  treated  us.  They  were 
shown  around  the  classrooms,  grounds 
buildings  and  the  gyrn  where  "Old 
One  Eye"  hangs  in  majestic  splendor. 
Thsy  had  come  to  the  end  of  their 
journey!  Bidding  farewell  tenderly, 
they  departed,  or  so  we  thought,  and 
traveled  in  a  360  degree  circle  right 
back  to  our  field  houses  and  our 
"ALLAH  O  MIGHTY  BUFFALO," 
where  they  proceeded  to  help  the 
"kid"  down  the  back  stairs,  (since 
he  don't  walk  so  good  no  more.)  They 
were  disturbed  by  approaching  foot- 
steps (probably  Don  Williams  com- 
ing over  to  put  soft  drinks  in  the 
cooler  and  pull  the  plug  on  the 
nickel  Pepsi  machine).  Anyway,  they 
gave  lip  the  ghost,  or  Buffalo  and  de- 
parted a  second  time,  orJy  to  heist 
hirh  from  us  on  January  12,  take  him 
to  the  Tuscidum  Institution,  and  pre- 
sent it  to  the  MiUigan  "Rouser  Club" 
to  the  sickening  strains  of  "Home  On 
The  Range,"  which  some  of  us  mis- 
took for  their  Alma  Mater.  He  was 
drug  from  the  floor  of  battle  by  King 
Kohls,  carried  back  to  MiUigan  by  an 
associate  flatfoot  in  his  Ranch  Wagon, 
and  hung  to  fry  in  his  familiar  place 
in  the  gym  by  Mr.  Neth,  and  he  hangs 
there  today— unless  State  got  him — 
smiling  his  smUe  and  inspiring  us  to 
win  games,  and  also  do  something 
about  his  appearance.  (That  would 
be  a  good  project  for  the  P.  E.  Club.) 
By  the  way,  there  were  more  than 
"■Ten  for  Tusculum."  Not  only  that, 
but  one  and  a  half  sections  were  fill- 
ed by  the  rabid  (that  means  mad) 
Milligan  fans. 

Austin  Peay  .... 

January  14  was  John  Hall  night,  as 
he,  one-"handily"  delivered  the  shot 


that  made  it  Milligan  00 — Austin  Peay 
69,  which  is  to  say,  Milligan  100 — 
Austin  Peay  69.  And  not  only  did  J. 
L.  Hall  score  two  points,  he  scored 
three,  making  it  101  to  69.  This  was 
the  first  time  in  four  years  that  a 
Milligan  team  has  gone  over  the 
hump,  which  just  goes  to  show  that 
you  just  can't  hardly  get  them  no 
more.  Hitting  48%  of  their  shots  in 
the  first  half,  the  Buffaloes  jumped 
into  a  wide  lead  and  were  never  head- 
ed. They  coasted  through  the  second 
half  with  reserves  carrying  the  load. 
However,  Al  Covell's  22  points  and 
rebounding  helped  the  cause  im- 
mensely, as  did  Gouge's  15,  Barton's 
13,  and  Gaslin's  11,  not  to  mention 
HaU's  3. 

Not  Much  About  Something  .  .  . 

Western  CaroUna  101— MiUigan  95, 

and  that's  aU  I  know  about  that  game. 


Maryville 


Maryville  College  made  a  long  trip 
up  here  on  January  18  only  to  become 
the    second    team   that   MiUigan   has 

fone  over  the  hump  with  this  year, 
he  "Scotties"  were  the  victims  of 
bad  passing,  lack  of  hustle,  and  a  wide 
open  "defense  which  aUowed  Green- 
weU  to  score  34  points.  Gouge  17,  and 
Aldridge  12,  to  aid  in  the  105-95  vic- 
tory. MiUigan's  defense  wasn't  exact- 
ly air-tight,  as  Keny,  their  big  center, 
managed  31  points,  with  Blair  hittmg 
for  20. 

Carson-Newman  .  .  . 

As  the  paper  said,  (our  rivals),  the 
"Buffs"  did  spank  Carson-Newman  on 
January  22  with  a  90-65  score,  which 
was  really  surprising  on  C-N's  small 
court.  It  was  also  a  big  surprise  when 
C-N  beat  Western  Carolina.  Of  course 
the-  53%  shooting  average  which  the 
Buffs  had  didn't  hurt,  and  the  28% 
average  that  the  Eagles  had  did. 
Leading  our  defense-minded  Buffa- 
loes, who  have  averaged  2  points  per 
game  better  than  State,  was  "Lil'  Al" 
CoveU  with  19  points,  Dennis  Green- 
well  with  16,  and,  as  usual,  BiU  Gouge 
figured  in  the  scoring  column  with 
15  points. 

Echoes  From  Elsewhere 

FACULTY  VISION 

A  truck  driver  stopped  suddenly  on 
the  highway  and  the  car  behind  him 
crashed  into  the  truck.  "Why  didn't 
you  hold  out  your  hand?"  asked  the 
driver  of  the  car. 

"Well,"  replied  the  truck  driver,  "if 
you  couldn't  see  the  truck,  how  could 
you  possibly  see  my  hand?"

Each  speaker  was  a  master  in

had  visions  of  growing  weary  by 
sitting  through  twoi  dry  addresses, 
wc  can  say  that  he  was  so  wrong! 
The  speakers  held  the  audiences 
captivated,  as  they  brought  the 
message  of  God  in  their  own 
particular  ways  and  through 
their  own  particular  fields.  It 
was  truly  a  great  thing  that  the 
churches  of  Johnson  City  did  for

TALK  OF   TRADITIONS 


By  BARBARA  SCOTT 
And    thou.    When    thou    Pray- 
est  .  .  . 

This  is  the  first  in  a  series  of 
articles  on  ih©  outstanding 
tradilions  carried  on  through 
Ihe  years  on  the  campus  of  Mil- 
ligan  College. 

"Christian.  Education,  the  Hope 
of  the  World"  ,  .  .  The  prayer  life 
of  Milligan  College  has  two  ac- 
knowledged centers.  One  is  the 
prayer  room,  pictured  below,  and 
the  other  is  Prayer  Hill,  of  the 
two,  the  prayer  room  has  been 
longer  in  existence. 

About  thirty  years  ago.  in.  the 
days  of  President  and  Mrs.  Der- 
thick,  a  prayer  room  was  -estab- 
lished on  the  third  floor  of  the 
Administration  Building,  where  it 
Is  today. 

,  Professor  Carpenter,  now  re- 
tired, was  at  that  time  the  head 
of  the  Bible  Department  here  at 
Milligan.  He  met  in  the  room 
every  Monday  night  with  a  group 
of  students  who  gathered  there 
to  pray. 

The  group,  outgrew  the  Prayer 
Room  and  moved  to  Hardin  Par- 
lor, where  it  still  meets  every 
Monday  night  as  the  Christian 
Service  Club. 

Although  it  no  longer  met  In 
the  prayer  room,  the  club  main- 
tained the  room  for  the  use  of 
the  student  body.  In  1948,  the 
group  redecorated  the  room, 
Spending  $600  on  it* 

The  room  is  used  constantly, 
with     students     going     there   to 

frayer  individually  or  in  groups. 
n  times  of  an  unusual  need  of 
spiritual  guidance,  the  room  is  in 
constant  use.  The  Service  Seek- 
ers and  the  Ministerial  Associa- 
tion use  the  Prayer  Room  for 
their  monthly  meeting  place. 

At  this  time,  the  Service  Seek- 
ers are  painting  and  cleaning  the 
room.  This  Prayer  Room  is  cer- 


tainly for  the  use  of  the  entire 
Milligan  College  student  body,  so 
take  advantage*  of  it. 

PRAYER  HILL  ... 

The  men  of  Milligan  have  their 
'  own  place  for  mediation.  It  is  a 
hill  just  off,  the  Milligan  Campus 
known,  since  1948.  as  Prayer  Hill, 
In  that  year,  two  students,  Bob 
Rhea  and  John  Hasty,  had  been 
looking  around  the  campus  for  a 
quiet  place  for  prayer,  and  one 
night  they  found  the  exact  eput. 
Standing  on  the  hill,  they  looked 
in  one  direction  and  saw  ihe 
lights  of  Milligan,  and  farther 
away,  the  lights  of  Johnson  City; 
but  turning  their  backs  to  these 
lights,  all  they  could  see  were 
the  mountains  and  the  trees 
lighted  by  the  stars.  Here  on  this 
hill  they  saw  all  life; — on  one 
Bide,  the  lights  of  the  world;  on 
the  Other  side,  nature  and  God, 
they  knelt  there  with  their  backs 
to  the  world  and  prayed  aloud. 

This  experience  so  impressed 
them  that  they  returned  the  next 
night,  bringing-  with  them  three 
other  students,  Bill  Small,  LeRoy 
Wright,  and  Eldon  King. 

Permission  was  granted  by  the 
owners  for  the  men  of  Milligan 
to  use  the  hill,  and  since  then  the 
tradition  of  "men  only"  for  Pray, 
er  Hill  has  arisen. 

Men,  if  you  go  to  Prayer  Hill, 
go  there  in  reverence.  Turn  first 
toward  the  valley,  and  then  turn 
and  look  into  the  face  of  God  and 
pray  aloud  to  Him  on  your  knees 
The  spoken  prayers  of  the  many 
students  who  have  used  the  hill 
have  hallowed  it.  Prayer  there 
will  strengthen  you.  Take  ad- 
vantage Of  your  opportunities  to 
f[o  there  and  talk  with  God.  Prob- 
ems  fade  away  and  decisions  be- 
come easy  in  the  light  of  this 
communion  with  God  .  .  ,  don't 
let  these  traditions  die.  for  they 
are  an  integral  part  of  the  Mil- 
ligan campus,  and  therefore,  part 
of  you. 


Milligan  College  Prayer  Room  ...  In  Use 


well,,  that's   life    with    a    house- 
wife! 

During  the  v,'eek  of  February 
13  Shil-lt-y  Halthauser  had  a  cute 
little  guest  named  Linda,  v/ho 
won  the  hearts  of  all  who  met 
her.  She  even  had  the  distinc- 
tion of  singing  with  the  concert 
choir.  (We  could  use  her  in 
about  thirte&n  years). 
/  The  appetites  of  the  girls  of 
Hardin  were  not  up  to  par  on 
February  14,  due  to  the  Valentine 
candy  consumed, 
-On  the  evening  of  that  same 
day  there  was  a  big  splash  heard 
on  second,  when  Carol  Wickes 
received  the  traditional  "bath" 
upon  receiving  her  diamond. 

Yvonne  Bowman  smiled  her 
brightest  smile  in  three  weeks  on 
Saturday  morning,  February  19, 
when  Ron  came  back  from  Penn- 
sylvania. 

On  February  16  Marlene  Wells 
smelled  smoke  and  decided  that 
something  MUST  be  burning. 
Little'  did  she  know  that  the 
"something"  was  her  bed!  Lucki- 
ly, she  wasn't  in  it  at  the  time. 

With  that  last  "hot"  bit  of 
news,  I  end  this  literary  attempt 
unfil  next  lime.  Note;  If  any  girl 
in  Hardin  has  some  news  to  in- 
clude in  this  column,  kindly 
bring  your  contribution  to  room 
103.  Hardin  Hall.  All  efforts  will 
be  greatly   appreciated. 

Cheek  Chatter 

By  Julio  Groftn 

The  first  girl  was  out  on  the 
roof  to  try  to  acquire  a  tan  on 
the  eighteenth  of.  February.  From 
what  I  ha-ve  heard  this  is  three 
days  later  than  last  year's  first 
sun  worshipper.  (Let's  keep  the 
telescopes  in  the  closets,  please, 
thou  men  of  Pardee,) 

Operation  evacuation  occurred 
over  the  weekend  of  the  20th. 
Marg  Hastings  left  her  favorite 
shower  stall  and  took  a  joy  ride 
home  to  Indiana.  Barbara  Smith 
took  a  very  long  trip  over  the 
weekend  to' visit  her  sister  Mari- 
lyn. Hope  that  you  had  a  safe 
trip,  Smittie!  Judy  Reutebuch. 
Ruth  Johnson,  and  Liz  DeArmond 
took  off  for  Knoxville  after  get- 
ting permission  and  signing  out. 
Judy  didn't  even  get  a  chance  to 
throw  in.  her  bobby  pins. 

Valentine's  Day  is  a  time  of 
joy  andgifts,  especially  in  a  girls' 
dorm.  The  most  ostentatious  of 
gifts  was  a  dozen  red  roses  wired 
from  Louisville  to  Dianne  Barnes, 
(Herrin,  Dlinois.  is  her  home.) 
Lots  of  calories  were  devoured 
in  the  form  of  .chocolates  -found 
in  many  red  heart-shapped  boxes. 
Along  with  the  coming  of  cupid's 
hey-day,  furious  knitting  ceased 
on  the  part  of  Gmny  Weaver. 
Mighty  nice  tie  Palma  has  now! 

A  meeting  was  called  by  the 
girls  to  discuss  general  dormi- 
tory discipline  ana  rules.  Souhds 
dull  and  uninteresting?  Shirley 
Stacy  didn't  think  so  because  all 
the  girls  sang  "Happy -Birthday" 
and  served  dorm-baked  cake.  We 
had  fun  showing  Miss  Welshimer 
what  good  times  we  can  have  all 
together  with,  just  a  few  burnt 
crumbs  to  celebrate  with. 

Shirley  ,  Stacy's  "little"  sister, 
Anna  Ruth  came  to  enjoy  dorm 
life  for  a  day  or  so.  When  this 
gossip  monger  saw  her  she  was 
doing  just  that:  paddling  in  the 
shower  room  and  playing  "Rook" 
on  the  floor  in  Barb's  room. 

Well,  I  guesa  the  supply  of  gos- 
sip from  Cheek  has  been  ex- 
hausted; and.  besides  the  sun  is 
coming  from '  behind  that  nasty 
cloud.  Excuse  me  while  I  turn 
over  and  soak  it  up 

Hyder's  Pittcr  Pal 

-     By  Pat  Topping 

Lorna  wanted  to  know  what 
Donna  and  Jim  do  after  Saturday 
ball  games  or  movies.  They  hold 
hands  and  talk,  of  course,  (That 
is  what  Dr.  Crouch  said.  I've 
heard). 

I  hope  Ruth  Eason  doesn't  send 
Dave  Crandall's  letters  to  John 
or  Jcrrj-.  Wc  wouldn't  want  a  war 
among  our  service  men.  would 
wc? 

Spring's  early  arrivals  make 
nice  davs  for  lying  in  the  sun. 
I've  noticed  beauties  (?)  all  over 
the  roofs — that  lucky  old  sun. 

"Peaches"  Osborne  (as  her  men 
friends  call  her)  has  frequent 
Sunday  afternoon  visitors.  Some- 
times she,  doesn't  return  until 
late.  Is  it  always  steak  for  sup- 
per? 

Have  you  been  to  any  of  our 
■  T-V  Parties"?  If  you  haven't 
blame  only  yourself.  Our  invita- 
tion atill  holds — Y'oli  comeir: 

We  surely  miss  Eva  Jo  but  we 
are  all  very  happy  for  her.  She's 
"coming  to  get  us  to  eat  some  of 
her  cooking  soon.  Yum  yum  .  .  .

The  project' committee,  Shirley 
Dougherty,  Bud  Gaslin,  ^nd  Sue 
Roush  met  earlier  and  discussed 
projects  for  the  year, 

■The  club  decided  to  buy  a

teaching  of  folk  dances.  Another 
project  of  the  club  is  to  buy  a

A  Hobo  Party  was  recently 
given  by  the  Community  Recrea-

Those  tramps  and  bums  that 
were  hanging  around  the  Student 
Union  were  really  students — be- 
lieve It  or  not:  Some  of  them 
were  even  teachers  in  disguise. 

A  prize  was  given  to  I^Css  My-

the  best  dressed  hobos.

Really,  I  should  say,  mixed., It 
was  quite  hilarious  when  they 
had  to  keep  going  to  Buffalo  Inn 
for  more  brownie  mix.  They

weren't  .allowed  to  even  taste.

led  to  a  thousand  others,  and 
they  finally  agreed  to  settle  the 
matter  by  a  pistol  duel  in  the 
park. 

At  7:00  on  the  appointed  morn-

his  pistol,  his  second  and  his

a  messenger  arrived  with  a  note

SOCIAL  SCIENCE 

CLUB  ...

banquet  Saturdav,  February  19, 
for  members  and  guests.  It  took' 
place  in  the  Erwin  church  base- 
ment. 

We  hear  that  Moby  Dick.  Pat 
Rietzei,  and  Mamoru  Ishikawa 
did  a  splendid  job  cooking  T-bone 
steaks  and  all  the  trimmings. 
Maybe  we  can  draft  some  nettv 
cooks  for  the  cafeteria. 

Mrs.  Alford  of  Erwin  entertain- 
ed with  violin  music.  Dr.  Donald 
G.  Sahli  delivered  an  address  on 
"Communism  in  Russia,"  He  gave 
a  description  df  life  under  the 
Czars,  pointed  out  the  attempts 
of  revolution,  and  described  life 
under  the  Communist  system 
during  the  thirty-eight  years  of 
its  history.  He  concluded  by  show- 
ing the  failures  of  communLsni 
and  suggested  that  these  failures 
will  eventually  result  in  ihe" 
downfall  of  this  totalitarian  wa*^ 
of  life. 

Special  guests  were  ^Ir.  and 
Mrs,  Giickfield.  Mrs.  Fife,  and- 
Mrs.  Webb.  Mr.  Fife  and  Dr^

THE    STAMPEDE 


TuMday,  March  1,  1955 


SPORTS  SECTIOIS 

STAMPEDE 

.   .   .   fVith  PAT  HAND 

RINGSIDE  SEAT 

Well,  here  you  are  .  .  .  and 
here  I  am  .  .  .  and  here's  a  story 
.  ,  ,  To  take  up  where  I  left  off, 
I'H  go  back  to  January  29  of  this 
year'  to  fhe  first  State  game  , 
andl  will. 

It  was  said  that  ETSC  "rolled" 
over  Milligan  96  to  74,  but  to  roll 
over-  anything  you  have  to  be  a 
whefel  .  .'.  and  you  can  also  as- 
sociate "rolling  over"  with  little 
dogs,  so,  in  other  words,  I  don't 
believe  that  State  actually  "roll- 
'  ed"  over  MiUigan.  However,  they 
did  do  a  pretty  good  job  of  win- 
ning, as  Creech  and  Cooper  of 
State  led  their  scoring  with  20 
and  13  px^ints  and  did  some  fine 
rebounding  to  pace  State  to  th?ir 
twelfth  straight  win  over  the 
Buffs,  We  are  always  being  re- 
minded how  many  straight  times 
State  has  beat  MilUgan;  I  wojld 
like  to  know  how  many  straight 
times  MiUigan  beat  Stata  back 
there  when  there  wasn't  a  tax  of 
two  cents  on  every  dollar. 

Milligan  hit  well  from  the  field 
for  a  39,8  percentage,  as  State 
only  sank  36  out  of  107  for  3-1.6 
percent.  So  where  was  the  game 
won  ...  at  the  foul  line?  Regard- 
less of  where  it  was  won,  Ald- 
ridge  and  Greenwel!  hit  for  16 
points  each,  while  Crouch  sank 
13  and  Covell  10.  Gouge  recorded 
ft  while  holding  Bowman  down 
with  good  defensive  work.  Bar- 
ton rounded  out  the  scoring  with 
8  arid  the  Buffaloes  looked  for- 
ward to  their  February  1  en- 
counter  with    Carson-Newman. 

The  Buffaloes,  on  February  1, 
clipped  the  Carson-Newman 
Eagles'  wings  with  a  score  of  a 
century  and  one  td  mnety-onf, 
which  is  to  say,  101  to  91.  It  \yas 
a  nip-and-tuck  ball  game,  beins 
tied  eight  times  before  Green- 
well,- Barton,  and  Crouch  put  the 
game  on  ice  for  good  with  a 
shower  of  points— it  was  slightly 
closer  here  on  the  homo  court 
than  .  at  Carson-Newma.i  fboth 
clubs  hit  42%).  Milligan  did  have 
a  well-rounded,  offense;  Covell, 
although  playing  only  part  of  the 
game,  .scored  24  pomts.  Green- 
well  19,  Held  18,  Gouge  13,  and 
"Steady'  'AJdridge,  with  U  pomt^ 
rounded  out  the  double  figure 
scoring.  El9ewhe'-^°r  J^^  A'?°^- 
Crouch,  hooked  and  fa^^d  'f"^.f' 
and  ■Williams  contributed  his 
u.sual- 1.  ;_.,■'       J      lii 

Ntallinger.  of  C-N,  made  23 
rpoints  in  a  (ine  scoring  e)chibi- 
tion.  and  Butch,  Ayers  added  16 
point;s  to  the  cause. 

Interesting  note;  i^e  beat  t--rJ 
the  same  night  that  Dick  McNabb 
.became  the  mayor  of  Erwin.--^

"^^  a"' red-hot  Union  ^'vc  used  to 
good  advantage  an  orcan.ied  fast 
break,  plus  height  .advantage,  to 
stop  the  Buffaloes  hOf^V^^^^^ 
S^i^ng  streak  at  six,  bun  had  to 
do  it  n  nn  overtime.  Ii  U,  naan  i 
been  for  Duard  Aldrldges  hook 
Kot  and  2  foul  points,  thpjc 
wouldn't  have  been  any  overtime 
fir  MilWan.  In  the  overtime, 
Unioh  grabbed  8  straight  Do.nts 
before  tlie  Buffs  could  get  a  pho 
off  However.  Greenwcll  hit  2  of 
hie  ?q  rtoinls  to  make  the  scltg 
Si  to^srwhile  Covell  and  Barton 
Lrimmed  it  to  95-97,  Then  a 
ch^lTy  toss  by  Union  wrapped  up 
the  scoring  and  the  garne, 

Besides  Grccnwell  s  29,  Aia- 
ridge?cored  20,  Covell  18.  Barton 
12:  and  Crouch  10  to  furn.^h,  as 
usual,  a  well-rounded  attack. 

Prewltt  of  Union  hit  for  28. 
while  Bnyassee  followed  in  the 
scoring  column  with  24. 

Uni?n  hit  for  51%  while  Mil- 
ligan netted  only  36.  out  the  w.n- 
nmg  difference  came  ^r^^"^.  ^,|^2"-. 
fcuf  line,  as  Union  i^ieshcd  ,  hree 
more  charity  tosses  than  Milligan 
for  the  win.  So  there  you  are.. 

The  King,  College  "Tornadoes 
came  breezing , Into  t-wn  «r^  ^^,^r 
mary  8  of  this  year,  and  l>lov 
right  out  again  on  the  short  end 
of  a  68  to  67  score,  and  her','3 
the  wav  it  happened.  .  . 

It  seems  that  those  cats 
from  Bristol  came  over  with  the 
idea  of  playing  some  frantic 
basketball,  and  they  really  went 
veal  gone  crazy,  as  they  pushed 
into  the  lend  right  quick  and  held 


it  off  and  on  tUroughout  the 
game,  until,  with  the  clock  tick- 
ing away  in  the  final  seconds. 
(Norm  Held  pushed  dorwn  the 
floor  with  a  one-hander  that  hit 
at  the  sEime  time  the  buzzer  went 
off.  But,  in  making  himself  the 
hero  of  the  game.  Held  also  foul- 
ed by  charging,  and  it  looked  like 
an  overtime.  Edgar  of  Kinf* 
stepped  up  to  the  foul  Vine,  ana, 
instead,  of  making  the  whole 
thing  dramatic,  he „  missed  '.he 
first  shot  and  hit  the  second  cne, 
so  Milligan  won. 

Besides  Held's  two  game-win- 
ning points,  Greenwell  scored  17, 
and  AJdridge  and  Gouge  helped 
out  with  14  and  11  respectivr^ly. 
Edgar  was  high  (point-man  that 
is)  for  King,  with  18  points, 

It_  seems  that  Ferrell  Bowman 
13  still  giving  his  old  high  school 
a  lot  of  publicity,  even  tnough  he 
has  graduated,  as  our  "rival" 
paper  insists  on  stating  that  if  it 
wasn't  for  the  fact  that  Bowman 

fraduated  from  Science  Hill, 
tate  wouldn't  be  where  they  are 
now.  (Wouldn't  they?)  Anyhbo, 
this  kid.  Bowman,  scored  29 
points  to  break  open  a  "tight" 
ball  game  in  the  third  quarter 
of  the  February  12  garhe  With 
East  Tennessee  State  College  at 
Cheek  Gymnasium.  He  broke  it 
open  all  the  way  wi  to  t00-7il  in 
favor  of  State,  and  I  will  have  to 
agree  that  much  of  the  credit  be- 
longs to  him.  However,  Bowman 
was  just  the  spark  that  ignited 
the  point-making  inferno,  as 
Creech  and  Cooper,  (two  Knox- 
ville  boys)  hit  for  23  and  20 
points  to  provide  a  good,  all-over 
blaze.  Credit  is  due  Gouge, 
Greenwell,  Aldridge,  and 
Crouch,  however,  as  Gouge  and 
Greenwell  held  the  regular  State 
guards  to  4  points  apiece,  and 
Waycaster,  center  for  State,  only 
made  8  points. 

Barton  hit  for  17  points,  Ald- 
ridge hit  for  16,  Covell  managed 
12,  and  Greenwell  and  Gouge 
rounded  out  the  double  figure 
scoring  with  11  and  10  points. 
Crouch  hit  for  8,  and  Calvert 
thrilled  the  crowd  with  his  driv- 
ing 2  points. 

The  write-up  on  the  Emory  and 
Henry  game  will  be  found  else- 
where on  this  page,  written  by 
"Flash"  Gordon,  but  I  would  like 
to  make  these  comments,  if  I 
may. 

This  game  marked  the  fourth 
time  that  MiUigan  has  gone  over 
a  hundrtKl  points  m  defeatirg  a 
foe  aiii  the  sixth  time  that  tticj 
have  been  in  a  game  in  whif-h 
one  hundred  or  more  poirit3  have 
been  scorea.  Now  I  ask  you,  if 
that  isn't  a  record,  isn't  it  a  pretty 
good  average?  Someway,  we 
ought  to  get  national  recognlhsn 
for  this,  because ,thi3  is  big  stutf. 
I  might  add  that  this  team  set 
a  new  scoring  record  for  the 
school  by  scoring  113  points,  Con- 
gratulation!— also  to  Glenn  Bar- 
ton, Co-captain,  for  loading  the 
way  with  twenty-five   points. 

Since  it  Is  the  close  of  this  sea* 
son  of  basketball  let's  review 
some  of  the  things  *ve  left  out, 

I'm  in  favor  of  giving  John 
Worrell  a  gold  plated  pencil  for 
two  years  of  meritous  service  on 
the  score -"keeping  staff  of  the 
Milligan  College  Buffaloes.  John 
has  se%Ted  well,  nas  recorded  do- 
feat  as  well  as  victory  and  in  the 
1953  game  with  Carson-Newman 
saved  us  from  defeat  by  noticing 
an  error  In  the  opponents  score- 
book  and  arguing  so  hotly  about 
it  that  the  game  had  to  be 
stopped.  But,  back  to  thii  year 
.  ,  .  Hats  off  to  the  boys  who  sit 
across  the  way  and  keep  the  inci- 
dence charts.  I'm  speaking  of 
Scott  Bartchy.  Randy  Osborne, 
Jim  DeVault  and  Omer  Hamlin, 
These  boys,  and  one  man,  desci-ve 
a  lot  of  pt-ai.'ie,  as  they  are  some 
of  the  men  behind  the  scenes  who 
do  a  lot  of  un-noticcd,  but  worthy 
and  helpful,  work  throughout  the 
bnsketball  season.  Also,  a  word 
of  gratitude  to  the  man  behind 
the  horn  this  season,  or  in  plam 
words,  the  chubby  boy  who  kept 
the  light  flashing  on  the  score 
board  nil  season— Harold  Mc- 
Crackcn.  "Jute"  did  a  fine  job 
this  vcar  and  we  arc  indebted  to 
him-^nd  to  the  rest  of  these 
guj's.  so  you  tell  them  so,  and  I 
ki\ow  they  will  be  sincere  in 
their   thank-yous. 

It  certainly  was  good  to  see  old 
grads  at  the  State  ball  gflmo,  such 


Milligan  Buffaloes  Set  New  Scoring 
Record  In  Stampeding  E  &  H  113-96 


Virginia  Intermont 
Tops  Buftettes  In 
26-25  Victory 

On  February  17,  1955,  the  V.L 
girls  team  of  Bristo),  Virginia, 
barely  pushed  past  the  Milligan 
College  Buffettes  in  the  last  12 
seconds  of  a  good  ball  game  by 
a  score  of  26  to  25. 

Although  the  score  was  low, 
there  was  plenty  of  fast  action 
on  both  sides,  as  Carter  of  V.I. 
Scored  14  points  for  high  girl  for 
her  team,  and  Stout  of  Milligan 
carried  the  attack  for  Milligan 
with  17,  "Little  Aldridge"  Rob- 
erts and  Alice  Jermyn  also  con- 
tributed to  the  cause,  and  Shir- 
ley Doughert>'  was  outstanding 
on  defense  for  Milligan.  The  rea- 
son for  the  loss  can  be  explained 
thusly:  V.I.  is  an  all-girl  schonl; 
Milligan  is  a  co-educ<itiunaI 
school;  hence,  V.I.  has  a  larger 
selection  of  girls  to  choose  from. 
All  of  this  led  to  defeat,  plus  the 
fact  that  they  had  one  more  point 
at  the  end  of  the  game  than  ihe 
Buffettes  did. 


Tri-Cities  Turn  Out 
For  J.  C.  Mission 

(Continued  From  Page  One) 
are  truly  waiting  for  their  return 
in  the  coming  years. 

Many  of  the  Milligan  students 
turned  out  for  the  Preaching  Mis- 
sion, On  Friday  night,  February 
18,  the  Milligan  College  Concert 
Choir  sang  in  the  State  gym- 
nasium under  the  direction  of 
ML-JS  Ruth  White,  and  in  Ihe 
same  evening.  Dr.  Henry  Webb, 
led  the  people  in  prayer," 

Similar  Preaching  Missions 
were  carried  on  in  King^port  and 
Bristol,  using  the  same  speakers 
on  alternate  evenings.  AH  three 
of  these  missions  met  with  great 
success, 

Milligan  College  enjoyed  its 
Share  of  the  speaKers  by  having 
two  of  them  on  Monday  and  Fri- 
day In  their  regular  chapel  ser- 
vices. 


as  Galleymore,  Tommy  Hawks, 
Jim  Patten  and  many  others,  I 
hope  that  they'll  come  back 
often. 

Don't  know  how  many  of  the 
boys  will  make  the  S.M.A,C,  All- 
Star  team,  but  I  know  of  at  least 
two  who  should,  and  I  place  four 
on  the  second  squad.  Ill  let  you 
draw  your  own  conclu.iioas, 

Dr.  Crouch  made  a  slip,  in 
chapel  on  February-  21  when  he 
said  we  ought  to  honor  Duard 
Aldridge,  when  he  meant  Duard 
WaUter,  but  In  another  way,  he 
didn't,  as  Aldridge,  In  my  opinion, 
is  the  most  Improved  and  mo-it 
consistent  player  on  the  teom  this 
year,  with  Gouge  as  the  steadiest, 
Greenwell,  the  one  with  the 
guns,  and  Crouch  has  been  on- 
other  stondv  performer,  as  well 
as  Barton.  With  nil  of  this  whnt 
did  the  Buff'.s  lock?  Ask  the 
players  thomsclvos,  I  don't  know 
what  to  tell  you. 

It  did  my  heart  good  to  see 
little  Dick  Calvert  score  six 
points  in  the  Emory  game  before 
nc  fouled  out.  Looks  like  this 
"thirty  second  kid"  has  a  guod 
future. 


Barton  Is  High 
With  25  Points 

By  'Tlash"  Gordon 

The  Milligan  BuffS,  on  their 
home  floor,  set  a  new  team  scor- 
ing; record  over  a  major  fpe.  This 
feat  was  accomplished  on  the 
night  of  February  14,  1955,  by  the 
defeat  of  the  Emory  Wasps. 

The  Buffs'  attack  was  led  by 
the  sharp-shooting  of  Milligan 
forward.  Glen  Barton.  With  good 
team  support  and  fine  tip-ins 
Glen  scored. a  total  of  23  points. 
Dennis  Greenweii  ranked  second 
on  the  Buffs'  quintet  with  a  total 
of  18  points.  Jim  Crouch,  though 
not  £n  the  greater  part  of  the 
game,  played  a  very  fine  all- 
around  game.  Coach  Walker 
showed  the  fine  material  we  have 
backing  up  our  team  by  sub- 
stituting quite  freely.  The  whole 
squad  played  fine  precision  ball 
against  the  Emory  boys. 

The  game  itself  was  closer 
then  the  score  relates.  At  the 
half  Milligan  only  led  by  one 
point,  50-49.  The  Wasps  fought 
all  the  way  to  the  final  buzzer  to 
give  the  fans  a  fast  and  furious 
contest  that  proved  one  of  the 
highlight  games  of  the  year. 

With  this  defeat  of  Emory  and 
Henry,  our  team  finished  second 
in  the  Smoky  Conference.  Our 
record  was  a  fine  one  of  6  wins, 
2  losses.  We  the  student  body. of 
MilUgan  College,  owe  Coach

Recent  Survey 
Gives  Suggestions 
For  Ministry 

"What  will  help  me  make  a 
success  of  my  ministry?"  is  a 
question  asked  by  every  student 
minister.  One  answer  is  suggest- 
ed in -a  survey  recently  made  of 
the  forty-five  Christian  churches 
and  churches  of  Christ  Which  re- 
ported 100  or  more  baptisms  dur- 
ing a  twelve-month  period. 

In  this  survey,  as  in  every  such 
survey  conducted  annually  for 
the,  past  ten  years,  the  ministers 
declared  the  church's  Sunday 
morning  Bible  school  to  be  its 
number  one  evangelistic  agency. 
""  '  '  the  Bible  school  and  you

derful talk  about  "An  Infectious 
Smile"  relating  incidents  in  his 
lifetime  that  have  lead  to  his 
success  as  a  favorite  of  all  that 
he  meets. 

After  Dr.  Derthick's  talk.  Miss 
White  again  sang.  This  time  she 
was  doing  a 'duet  with  F^rof essor

gram. Randy  Osborne  and  Jim 
DeVauIt  gave  the  group  several 
numbers  on  the  Uloilele.  Scott 
Bartchy  ended  the  program  with 
two  piano  solos.  After  he  played 
"May  The  Good  Lord  Bless  and 
Keep  You,"  Glenn  Barton  gave 
the  benediction.

American  Colleges  And  Universities 


NEW  YORK,  March  25,  1955— 
The  visit  of  eleven  Soviet  student 
editors  to  the  United  States  has 
aroused  interest  on  the  American 
college  campus,  the  Institute  of 
International  Education  announc- 
ed today. 

Student  councils  .campus  news- 
papers, faculty,  and  administra- 
tive officers  at  44  colleges  ond 
universities  in  23  states  and  the 
District  of  Columbia  have  in\'itcd 
the  Russian  delegation  to  visit

Association  has  also  expressed 
interest  in  the  tour. 

The  geographic  range  Of  these 
institutions  is  wide.  It  includes 
New  York  and  New  England,  the 
midweat,  the  deep  south,  and  the 
far  west.

banded  together  last  fall  to  ex- 
tend a  direct  Invitalioti  to  the

puses, "These  collcRCS  also  urged 


the  State  Department  to  grqjit 
visas  to  the  Russian  editors.  Tno 
Swarthmore  College  Student 
Council  acted  as  coordinatdr  for 
this  collegiate  group.  At  the  same 
time  a  number  of  other  colleges 
invited  the  editors  to  visit  their 
respective  campuses  or  endorsed 
the  visit  independently.  All  of 
these  groups  welcomed  the  March 
10  decision  ot  the  State  and 
Justice  Departments  1o  grant

the  State  department  to  adminis- 
ter the  visit,  is  planning  an

MiUigan  Chuckled 
At  'Don  Pasqtiale' 
Given  By  NGROC 

The  National  Grass  Roots 
Opera  Companv  presented  Dorii- 
cetti's  "Don  Pasqiiale"  in  the 
Milligan  College  Auditorium  on 
Thursday,  March  17.  at  8:00  pjn. 
This  was  the  last  of  the  Milligan 
Concert   Series. 

The  opera,  which  was  given 
in  English,  was  a  famous  comedy 
which  was  enjoyed  very  mucn 
by  the  autiience  present.  It  was 
sung  with  marvelous  clarity  and 
diction  and  with  voices  blendid 
and  balanced  in  an  especially 
pleasing  manner. 

"Don  Pasquale,"  played  by  Wil- 
liam Beck,  displayed  a  polishfrd 
stage  technique  and  musician^ip 
which  made  him  a  fine  comic 
lead.  ^ 

Pasquale's  nephew,  Ernesto 
(Edward  Jefferson).  Dr.  Malates- 
ta  (Alec  Dantre)  and'  Norine 
(Vera  ScammonI  turned  in  equal- 
ly fine  performances.  They  shoiv- 
ed  excellent  stage  actions  and  an 
amaiing  blend  of  voices  in  duels 
and  recitative  sections. 

Jefferson  had  a  smooth  golden 
tenor  voice  with  which  he  vrr>n 
theaudience  upon  his  entrance  to 
the'  ."itage.  Dantre's  clear  tenor 
voice  and  fine  acting  cave  the 
audience  a  comical  viilan  and 
manv  deep  chuckles.  Miss  Scam- 
mon  s  fine  voice  made  the  transi- 
tions smoothly  from  lower  to  up- 
per ranges. 

Minor  characters.  The  Notary 
and  the  Maid,  were  played  by 
John  MiUer  and  Mar>'  Jennings, 
who  furnished  additional  comic 
relief.  The  company  provided  the 
audience  with  a  most  pleasant 
evening's  entertainment.

OUR  HOME  AWAY  FROM  HOME 

By  tED  JANEWAY  ,       , 


Now  that  spring  Is  in  the  air 
•nd  the  trees  are  starting  .to  pop 
out  with  buds,  much  more  of 
our  time  is  spent  in  the  out-of- 
doors,  The  long  hard  winter  is 
behind  us.  Our  minds  and  hearts 
are  again  joyous  with  the  many 
blessings  and  beauties  that  God 
has  given  us.  This  is  the  time  ot 
year  in  which  we  can  begin  to 
most  fully  enjoy  and  appreciate 
the   many  treasures  of  nature. 

Now  that  spring  is  here,  we 
are  often  likely  to  forget  that 
others  want  to  enjoy  God's 
blessings  too.  This  time  of  year 
frequently  makes  us  forgetful  of 
our  obligations  to  others.  Spring 
brings  many  visitors  to  the  Mil- 
llgan  campus,  and  first  impres- 
sions are  quite  frequently  the 
most  lasting  ones.  Visitors  are 
quite  certain  to  wonder  just  what 
kind  of  people  we  are  here  at 
Milligan  when  some  of  the  first 


things  they  see  upon  arrival  on 
the'  campus  are  paper  and  trash 
lying  on  the  roads,  paths,  and 
lawns  of  the  campus. 

We  are  all  anjrious  to  open 
that  letter  from  home  (especial- 
ly if  we  are  expecting  a  check), 
but  the  throwine  of  the  envelope 
upon  the  ground  does  not  make 
the  opening  of  that  letter  any 
faster.  A  package  from  that  boy 
in  the  Marines  or  Air  Force  or  a 
package  from  your  girl  can  just 
as  easily  have  its  wrappmga 
thrown  in  a  waste  basket  or 
trash  can.  Remember,  too,  that 
all  the  paper  and  trash  we  throw 
on  the  ground  has  to  be  picked 
up  by  someone  else  who  can 
otherwise  be  engaged  in  a  more 
constructive  type  of  work  for  the 
improvement    of  our  campus. 

Milligan  is  your  home.  Milli- 
gan is  my  home.  Let  us  both  tr>' 
to  treat  Milligan's  campus  as  our 
home.

ETCHINGS 


By  PHIL  BRADFORD 


If  you  will  search  deeply  into 
the  dark  recesses  of  your  minds 
you  might' perhaps  recall  a  mail- 
ing list  which  was  mentioned  in 
connection  vrith  the  STAMPEDE 
some  time  ago,  A  letter  was  sent 
by  the  STAMPEDE  staff  to  68 
schools  in  an  attempt  to  begin 
an  eTxhange  of  papers  between 
Milligan  and  her  friends.  We  have 
had  a  great/  deal  of  success  in 
this  .venture,  and  the  resiilts  of 
the  letter  are  still  coming  in.  As 
of  this  writing  I  have  received  12 
Written  replies  from  as  many' 
schools,  and  have  received  stu- 
dent publications  from  more  than' 
twice  that  number.  Some  of  the 
schools  which  were  contacted 
with  this  letter  were  already  ex- 
changing newspaper?  with  the 
STAMPEDE,  and  we  have  renew- 
ed and  revitalized  our  friendship 
with  these  schools.  We  have  made 
many  new  friends,  too,  and  we 
hope  to  keep  them.  To  mention 
only  the  ones  from  whom  a  writ- 
ten answer  was  received,  there 
is  the  Berea  Pinnacle  from  Berea 
College,  Kentucky;  the  Chapman 
College'  Review,  from  Chapman 
College,  California;  The  ChrLs- 
lian  Roundup  from  The  College 
of  the  Scriptures.  Kentucky;  the 
Pegasus  from  Eureka  College, 
Illinois,  Lincoln  Bible  Institute; 
Pugct  Sound  College  of  the  Bible; 
San  Jose  Bible  College;  Boise 
Bible  College;  Atlanta  Christian 
College;  Johnson  Bible  College: 
Kentucky  Christian  College:  and 
Dakota  Bible  College. 

Some  of  the  smaller  colleges 
■which  the  letter  was  sent  to  are 
naturally  not  in  a  position  to 
print  a  student  publication,  but 
manvof  those  schools  replied  to 
the  letter.  Most  of  them  sent  to 
us  the  paper  which  is  published 
by  the  administration  or  the 
alumni,  expressing  the  hope  that 
they  would  be  able  to  send  us  a 


student   publication   sometime  in 
the  future, 

I  believe  that  I  experienced  the 
biggest  thrill  of  my  life  from  the 
letter  which  I  received  from  the 
College  of  the  Scriptures  in  Louis- 
ville, Kentucky  This  school  had 
not  previously  had  a  student  pub- 
lication, but  when  they  received 
the  letter  and  STAMPEDE  which 
were  sent  to  them,  a  group  of  the 
students  decided  to  begin  the^r 
own  newspaper.  Here  is  the  body 
of  the  letter  which  the  advisor 
of  their  paper  sent  to  me  .  .  . 
Dear  Phil, 

We  appreciated  so  much  your 
college  paper.  It  was  an  inspir- 
ation to  our  student  body  ...  so 
they  decided  that  they  too'  could 
put  out  a  paper. 

This  Is  not  elaborate,  and 
please  excuse  the  mistakes,  but 
we  assuse  that  the  next  one  will 
look  much  better.  Keep  sending 
us  your  paper. 

Yours  in  Christ, 

ED  HYATT,  Advisor. 

■  Their  first  paper  was  a  three 
page  mimeographed  issue,  but 
the  size  and  quality  of  the  paper 

aon't  make  much  difference,  for 
lose  things  will  come  with  lime. 
The  important  thing  is  that  a 
small  group  of  students  at  this 
college  are  so  dedicated  in  their 
work  for  Christ  that  they  have 
the  courage  to  try  to  bettor  them- 
selves when  they  see  the  oppor- 
tunity. 

When  I  saw  "Volume  I— No.  I" 
\'.Titten  across  the  top  of  the  front 
page,  jt  thrilled  me  through  and 
through  to  realize  that  I  and  tlie 
rest  of  the  STAMPEDE  Staff 
might  have  had  even  a  small  part 
in  the  beginning  of  thLs  news- 
paper. A  time  like  this  doesn't 
come  ver>'  often  but  when  it 
does,  you  realize  tnut  all  the  work 
and  sweat  and  worry  that  you 
have  spent  in  workmg  toward 
a  desired  goal  is  paid  back  n 
hundred  fold-  Receunng  a  letter 
like  this  was,  to  me,  worth  nil 
the  work  that  T  have  spent  on 
the  STAMPEDE  this  year. 

Here's    a    poem    I    ran    across 


THE  ROVING 
REPORTER

The  Roving  Heportor 
Oh,  hum,  move  over  and  let  me 
soak  up  aome  more  of  this  love- 
ly, lovely  sunshine.  Do  I  look 
well  done  on  this  side?  Looks 
like  spring  fever  has  really 
taken  over  the  Milligan  crowd, 
— only  a  few  more  days  until 
Spring  vacation  and  then  we  can 
forget  the  term  paper  deadlines, 
newspaper  deadlines,  and  then 
we  can  sleep,  Oh,  surely  you 
kndw  what  sleep  is  .  .  I  had 
to  look  it  up  ntyself  to  find  out 
wliatwt  is.  Webster  is  under  the 
impressloti  that  it  ,  is  (and  I 
quote)  "to  take  rest  by  suspension 
of  the  voluntary  exercise  of 
bodily  and  mental  powers,  and 
apathy  of  the  organs  of  sense;  to 
slumber."  Say,  gang— how's  that 
for  an  idea????  I  think  ^that's 
what  I'll  do  on  my  spring  vaca- 
tion! 

Marylyn  Rozell  thinks  shell 
write  (ugh)  a  term  paper.  (This 
being  a  very  touchy  subject  with 
me  since  I  have  just  completed 
one).  After  that,  she  thinks  that 
she'll  just  have  fun.  Dave  Poor- 
man  thinks  he'll  work  and  play 
tennis,  while  Mary  Speer  thinks 
that  she'U  just  go  home  if  she 
can't  go  home  with  Roxy.  Ted 
Janeway  is  traveling  to  New 
York  City  and  Baltimore.  (Sounds 
good  to  me).  Doris  Masters  is  ter- 
ribly ambitious.  She's  going  to 
eat  some  good,  old  avacodoes, 
(huh?),  sleep,  and  read  comic 
books.  If  her  mother  then  throws 
her  out,  she  thinks  she'll  look  for 
a  summer  job.  Maggie  Butler  is 
going  to  do  a  lot  of  church  work 
during  her  vacation,  filling  in 
for  Jerry  Wagner  and  then  pos- 
sibly working  at  a  meeting. 

Our  hats  off  to  you  fellows  who 
arte  going  to  work,  but  I  suppose 
the  rest  of  us  will  just  be  lazy 
(as  per  UfiUfll).  eat  some  home 
cookin"  and  havq  a  good  time 
with  the  gang.  Whatever  you  re 
going  to  do,  have  a  good  time  at 
it  and  we'll  see  you  after  it  s  all 
over  with!

Their  season  mark  stood  at  10 
win's  and  5  losses.  This  was  a  very 
good  record  considering  the  tough 
■  competition  the  other  schools 
brought  forth.  Such  schools  as 
E.T.S.C.  used  varsity  men  to  give 
their  team  an  advantage.  We  did 
so  once  or  twice  but  not  as  ex- 
tensively. „.„ 

Such  players  at  Pat  Hand,  Bill

SPEAKING 
FREELY 


By  JOHNNY  BYRD 


THE  PLAY  .  .  . 

The  biggest  doin's  in  these 
parts  lately  was  the  play.  "Bill 
of  Divorcement."  From  where  I 
watched  (that  is,  in  the  wings 
performing  the  curtain  pulling 
duties)  I  got  a  different  impres- 
sion than  did  the  average  person 
in  the  audience.  So  here,  for  the 
first  time  in  public  print,  is  the 
startling,  eve-witness  exposure 
entitled,  "The  Curtain  Puller 
Views  the  Play." 

T  think  that  it  can  be  said  with- 
out reservation  that  the  play  was 
a  success.  The  audience  reaction 
certainly  seemed  to  prove  this. 
It  should  be  considered  that  this 
type  of  play  does  not  so  easily  ap- 
peal to  the  average  college  audi- 
ence as  would  a  side-splitting 
comedy.  This  play  was  received 
as  good,  or  better,  as  any  of  the 
lighter  ones  produced  here  in  the 
last  three  or  four  years. 

Other  than  audience  reaction, 
here  is  my  opinion,  for  what  it 
is  worth.  Watching  the  actors  and 
actresses  as  they  prepared  to  go 
on  stage  and  as  tney  performed. 
one  thing  was  ,  evident — confi- 
dence. There  were  no  examples 
of  extreme  nervousness,  and  if  a 
line  was  missed  it  was  covered 
up  with  ease.  There  seemed  to 
be  a  type,  of  professional  ease 
with  which  the  play  was  carried 
out.  'I  realize  that  the  above 
statement  may  be  a  little  bit 
rash  in  the  light  of  the  amount 
of  experience  which  the  actors 
had  had,  but  summing  every- 
thing up,  1  think  it  was  a  top- 
rate  performance. 

Congratulations,  Mr.  Niles, 
Stagecraft  Club,  and  Footlighters 
for  a  job  well  done!! 

TAXES  AND 

THE  SENATE  .  . . 

At  the  present  time,  the  1956 
tax  bill  is  being  debated  in  the 
Senate.  The  bill,  which  has  been 
passed  by  the  House  and  will  he 
voted  on  within  the  next  few 
davs,  includes  a  provision  cutting 
$20.00  from  the  tax  load  of  each 
individual. 

This,  of  course,  .is  of  impor- 
tance to  us  because  college  stu- 
dents frequently  earn  over  $600.- 
00  per  year,  and  thus  would  be 
benefitted. 

I  have  two  opinions  regarding 
this  cut  in  taxes  ,  .  .  first,  I  do 
not  think  that  it  should  be  pass- 
ed. In  the  fiscal  year  1954-55.  the 
government  spent  three  and  one- 
half  billion  dollars  more. than  it 
collected  ih  revenue.  (This  isn't 
too  bad.  considering  the  fact  that 
the  deficit  the  year  before  was 
nine  billion  dollars).  Since  there 
is  no  sign  that  spending  will  de- 
crease next  year,  this  $20.00  cut 
will  mean  a  loss  of  900  million 
dollars  in  revenue.  In  other  words 
thi&  roducHon.  even  though  it 
seems  desirable,  would  put  lh« 
government  almost  another  bil- 
lion dollar*  in  lh«  r»d.  There- 
fore, I'm  against  it.  Once  the 
budget  is  balanced,  such  a  cut 
ought  to  be  made,  but  not  until 
then.  , 

Secondly,  it  is  my  opinion  that 
this  proposal  will  not  pass  the 
Senate.  Why?  Because  enough 
sensible  Southern  Democrats 
(George  of  Georgia;  Byrd  ot  Vir- 
ginia, etc.)  will  put  principle 
above  party  and  will  vote  with 
the  Republicans  to  defeat  the 
bill. 

NOTICE  . .  . 

Since  the  above  article  was 
written,  the  Senate  has  voted  on 
the  tax  bill.  The  $20.00  per  per- 
son deduction  was  dcfenti-d  50--1-1. 
with  forty-five  Republicans  and 
five  Southern  Democrats  voting 
against  it.   .  ^ 

THE  YALTA  PAPERS  .  .  . 

Since  the  lost  i.i-iuo  of  the 
STAMPEDE,  two  situation.-)  have 
dovclopcd,  wliich,  uro  of  impor- 
tance to  every  American,  The 
first  of  these  is  the  rch-vise  of 
the  papers  describing  the  p^ro- 
ceedings  at  the  Yalta  Conference, 
which  was  ■  held  in  February, 
1945.  nt.  the  town  of  Yalta  on  the 
Blnck  Sea.  This  conference  be- 
tween ■  Roosevelt,  Chun;hiU  and 
Stalin  was  to  determine  it  course 
of  action,  since  it  was  a  certainty 


that  Germany  and  Japan  would 
be  defeated  in  the  near  future 
(Germany  capitulated  in  May 
and  Japan  in  August). 

The  decisions  readied  at  this 
meeting  and  the  results  of  those 
decisions  have  caused  an  earth- 
shaking  impact.  Since  I  could 
not  be  considered  an  "expert"  on 
the  subject,  I  will  give  the 
opinions  of  two  men  whom  I  do 
consider  to  bo  authorities. 

The-  first  is  Eugene  Lyons,  a 
reporter  who  spent  several  years 
in  Russia.  In  tne  April.  1945.  is- 
sue of  the  American  Mercury,  he 
described  the  Yalta  Conference 
with  these  prophetic  words:  "The 
crime  of  Crimea  was  the  virtual 
surrender  of  Europe  to  totJili- 
tarianism." 

William  Knowland,  U.  S.  Sena- 
tor from'  California,  says  this: 
"Unfortunately  the  history  of 
these  conferences  (Yalta.  Munich, 
etc.)  has  been  that  it  is  always 
the  fre.e  world  that  gives  up  ter- 
ritory and  surrenders  human  be- 
ings to  the  control  of  the  Com- 
munists. It  is  never  the  other 
way  around." 

"These  two  gentlemen  express 
my  opinion  on  what  went  on  at 
Yalta — a  tragedy  which  has  the 
■world  standing  on  the  brink  ot 
destruction. 

RAT  WEEK  .  . 
(Reprinted  from  Rawls  Mor- 
gan's  column  in  Iho  East  Ten- 
nessee Stale  College  Collegian 
in  hopes  that  someone  al  Milli- 
gan might  road  it). 

"I'o  Ratweek — 

"As  State  grows,  let's  hope  she 
leaves  behind  one  inveterated 
tradition  which  today  has  left  a 
person  completely  unhappy  and 
flooded  with  ill  will  toward  the 
Student  Senate, 

"Ratweek,"  a  silly,  juvenile, 
and  nothing  less  than  farsciaj 
space  of  several  days,  has  in 
reality  contributed  almost  noth- 
ing to  school  spirit,  pride,  charac- 
ter, integrity,  or  any  other  virv 
ture  which  you  might  deem,  com- 
plimentary to  the  College.  In 
fact,  "Ratweek"  instills  in  fresh- 
men a  sense  of  resentment,  a  re- 
bellious spirit  and  as  patiences 
ebb,  a  desire  to  direct  any  sopho- 
more to  the  nearest  bridge  and 
suggest  his  descension  by  gravity. 
Of  course,  there  always  exists 
the  perennial  good  Joe  and  Jil\^ 
whose  angers  are  latent  and  pass- 
ive to  the  weightiest  insult.  These 
congenials  are  labeled  "good 
sporti'.  (Too  many  sophomores 
have  taken  advantage  of  S  fresh- 
man's congenial  disposition  and 
weilded  their  authoritj'  unwisely.) 
But  now  I  must  assure  that  it  la 
not  for  those  people  I  wTite;  for 
they  will  continue  to  follow  the 
crowd  and  abide  by  the  majority, 
whether  it  is  for  Russian  roul- 
ette or  sword  s\vallowing.  Dear 
reader:  this  is  written  especially 
for  those  douTitroddens  wno  dur- 
ing the  course  of  "Ratweek"  have 
been  unduly  embarrassed,  humi- 
liated, constantly  harrassed.  or 
branded  by  the  infamous  "Black- 
list." .

"It  is  not  the  %'artegated  co1ot3i 
the  cheerful  sounds,  and  the 
warm  breezes  which  enli\'en  ua

prophetic  spirit  of  endless  hope, 
a  presentiment  of  many  happy 
days,  the  anticipation  of  higticr

Campus  Scenes  .  .  . 

Working  in  clubs  and  on  pro- 
jects has  its  advantages.  The 
STAMPEDE  staff  now  has  a  ro- 
mance on  its  hands.  Our  editor 
did  need  extra  help  on  the  paper, 
though — now  it  is  twice  as  nice, 

Actora.  singers,*  etc. — we  now 
know  that  M.  C.  has  her  share  of 
beauties.  \Phyilis  Wright  won 
second  place  in  the  recent  Miss 
Erwin  contest.   Congrats! 

It  looks  like  the  "weather  is 
breaking."  You  know  what  that 
means,  don't  you?  The  new  dorm 
will  soon  be  reaching  for  the  sky. 
Anyhow,  that's  what  I  heard  sev- 
eral months  ago.  I  hope  I  wasn't 
dreaming!.'! 

One  of  the  boys  we  lost  last 
fall  from  Milligan  is  now  q  proud 
father.  Who  is  he?  None  other 
than  Pete  "Smiley"  Miller.  It's 
a  girl!!! 

Spring  seems  to  be  approaching 
and  the  girls  thoughts  are  turn- 
ing to  what  the  boys  have  been 
thmking  of  all  the  time — love!!! 

V.  K.  takes  on  strange  actions 
when  Shirley  D's  boy  friend 
Visits,  Chick  says  she  must  be 
howling  at  the  moon. 

Kitty  must  have'  knocked 
Glenn's  teeth  out;  anyhow,  she 
said  she  has  made  a  pair  of  false 
teeth.  Her  Kamping  Klass  pro- 
ject started  out  as  a  horse  but 
now  it  looks  more  like  a  bear 
(?)  The  Klass  really  has  some 
good  "articles." 

Have  you  hiard  the  .  rumor, 
about  Patsy  M.?  I  haven't  either, 
hut  I  hear-ther^is  one. 

Jtmmie  Buckles  says  that  the 
last  week  of  school  he'S'  going  to 
date  every  night!  Hurrah  for  the 
lucky  girls!!!  Ask  Jimmie  for  de- 
tails. (About  a  'contest). 

Dave  Poorman  told  Mrs.  Find- 
lay  that  he  and  his  date  had  "car 
trouble/'  BIG  JOKE!! 


the  weekend  of  the  nineteenth 
and  the  twentieth.  Linda  and 
John,  and  Dianne  and  Tink  were 
together  quite  a  bit  those  few 
days.  Linda,  who  is  from  Herrin, 
lUmois,  is  thinking  of  attending 
Milligan  when  she  finishes  high 
school. 

Term  papers,  sherm  papers! 
Staying  up  until  the  miadle  of 
the  early  morning,  meeting  some- 
one going  down  the  hali  in  the 
wee  hours,  and  not  being  able  to 
recognize  the  girl  behind  the  bags 
under  the  eyes  were  the  usual 
thing  that  week  before  research 
papers  were  due.  It's  mighty 
funny  that  when  there  are  two 
months  to  work  on  an  assign- 
ment it's  left  until  the  last  few 
days.  Just  call  this  place  FYo-

I'm  sure  that  all  you  have  heard 
the  expression,  "Juet  another  ser-

Hardin  Holler 

By  BARB   WILLIAMS 

Things  are  unusually  calm  in 
Hardin  Hal!.  There  has  been  no 
•water  throwing,  fires,  or  low- 
door  slamming  in  many  a  day. 

On  the  first  floor  we've  lost  a 
■true  friend,  Shirley  Wills.  She 
is  missed  by  all,  especially  Kitty. 
Now  that  basketball  season  is 
over,  'Kitty  has  put  away  her 
scoresheet  and  taken  up  her 
books  again.  Thelma  Schlapia 
should  get  the  prize  for  the  best

Carol  "Wardle  is  still  counting 
days  to  vacation  and  Kathy  is 
very  efficiently  seeing  that  the 
mail  goes  through.  She  even  has 
an'  assistant  now.  It  Seems  that 
a  certain  young  man  has  been 
commissioned  to  help  carry  mail, 

Barb  Hice  is  back  from  her 
worldly  travels  and  Pat  and  Barb 
are  still  not  speaking  before 
breakfast.  Helen  Childers,  quiet 
and  sweet,  is  still  saying  cheerful 
"hello"  to  all  she  meets. 

Up  on  second  Carol  is  hard  at 
work  on  a  mural  while  her  room- 
mate, Pat.  is  quite  busy  with  the 
Acts  of  the  Apostles.  Jackie  and

J.  O  Cheek  of  NashviUe.  a 
member  of  a  Christian  church 
there  owned  a  restaurant  he 
callecl  Maxwell  House.  Theodore 
Roosevelt  often  ate  there,  and  al- 
ways, commented  on  how  good 
the  coffee  was.  Mr.  Cheek  decided 
if  his  Coffee  was  this  good,  per- 
haps it  could  find  a  market  with 
the  general  public.  He  began 
grinding  it  under  the  restaurants 
name— Maxwell  House— and^  used 
Roosevelt's  assertion  that  it  was 
"Good  to  the  last  drop'  as  his 
selling  slogan.  The  conclusion  ot 
this  little  tale  is  obvious—  the  cup 
of  coffee  grew  into  a  multi-mil- 
lion dollar  business. 

Now  Milligan  College  enters 
the  picture.  Dr.  Derthick  heard. 
through  Mr.  Cheek's  church  con- 
nections, about  the  mnns  wealth; 
and,  hoping  he  would  see  nt-  to 
put  to  use  some  of  his  money.  Dr.

He  told  him  of  his  hopes  to  build 
an  activity  building  on  the  Mil- 
ligan College  campus.  This  build- 
ing would  include  in  it  a  gym- 
nasium, a  .swimming  pool,  and 
limited  dorm  space.  Mr.  Chock 
responded  whole-heartedly  to  Dr. 
Derthick's  plea  and  In  1926  the 
building  WBS  completed. 

Todav.  OS  ever  since  that  day,

If  you  nave  not  been  attending    visas  at  that  time.  The  visas  were 

C.  E,.  we  urge  you  to  think  over  turned  down  because  American 
universities  were  not  then  in  ses- 
sion. T'he  Soviets  claimed  that  it 
was  the  United  States  that  had 
the  Iron  Curtain,  not  the  U.S.S-R. 
Last  year  Russia  allowed  a  group 
of  American  student  editors  to 
visit  there. 

The  visit  of  the  student  editors 
is  at  the  expense  of  the  So^-iets. 
It  is  in  no  way  a  U,  S.  Go\'em- 
ment  project. 

Editorial  comment  in  the  na- 
tion's press  has  endorsed  the  pro- 
jected visit  of  the  Soviet  student 
editors.  A  New  York  Times  edi- 
torial stated.  "If  the  Russian  Gov- 
ernment is  willing  to  expose 
eleven  student  editors,  aged  25 
to  39,  to  a  close-up  view  of  higher 
education  in  this  countn,-,  it  ts 
wise  for  us  to  accept-  the  chal- 
lenge." 

"William  Randolph  Hearst,  Jr., 
editor-in-chief  of  the  Hearst 
newspapers,  has  advocated  the 
idea  of  admitting  Russian  stu- 
dents to  the  United  States  so  that 
they  may  obser\'e  American  life. 
Mr,  Hearst,  who  has  just  return- 
ed from  a  trip  to  |he  Soviet 
Union,  made  this  statement  in

and  Los  .Angeles.

Well,  here  we  go  again  .  .  . 

I  don't  know  where,  we  left  off 
last  time,  and  care  less,  but  I 
believe  "we"  had  just  beaten 
Emory  and  Henry  113-96  and 
were  on  the  way  to  Nashville  to 
the  V.S.A.C.  which  is  the  Volun- 
teer Slate  Athletic  Conference 
because  Tennessee  is  The  Volun- 
teer State,  and  there  you  aref 

As  I  -said  before,  I  don't  get 
paid  for  this  job  and  as  it  was 
a  few  days  ago  I  seem  to  have 
forgotten,  but  this  I  believe;  Mil- 
ligan  hog-tromped  Austin  Peay 
to  move  into  the  tournament.  It 
'  seems  that  every  time  the  Bulfs 
play  in  the  V.SJV.C.  tourney  they 
play  Austin  Peay  in  the  first 
game;  for  they  have  in  the  four 
years  I've  been  here,  except  last 
year  when  they  (Buffs)  played 
Union,  Anyway,  after  beating 
Austin  Peay  they  (Buffs)  ran  into 
a  taller,  but  not  scrappier.  Bel- 
mont fi^fe  who  tried  to  run  away 
with  the  ball  game  but  it  took  all 
they  had  to  sneak  out  a  64-60 
victory  and  send  the  Buffs  home. 

So.  home  they  came  to  engage 
the  King  College  Tornadoes  in  a 
breezy  game  at  Bristol  and  won 
by  a  larger  score  in  King's  crack- 
er barrel  (similar  to  a  cracker 
box)  better  than  they  did  ,at  Mil- 
ligan  where  there  is  a  lot  of 
room.  For  particulars  of  the  game, 
such  as  the  score.  I  refer  you  to 
the  old  press  clippings  on  the 
bulletin  board.  ' 

At  the  Smoky  Mountain  Ath- 
letic Conference  Tournament  in 
the  new  Isnberger-Siled  field 
house  at  Morristown,  Tennessee, 
on  March  5,  I  got  a  "bench-eye 
view  of  the  game  betv/een  L.M.U. 
and  MiUigan.  It  started  off  fast 
and  both  teams  showed  "tourna- 
ment nerves"  at  the  first.  L.M-U. 
scored  first  on  a  lay-up  and  then 
Greenwell  hit  on  a  set  to  put- 
the  Buffs  in  the  scoring  bracket; 
and  then  immediately  thereafter, 
if  not  sooner.  Dennis  slipped  up, 
or  was  tripped  up,  and  got  a . 
beauty  of  a  bad,  swollen  ankle 
which  put  him  out  of  commis- 
sion for  the.rest  of  the  night;  and 
I  don't  believe  he  is  able  to  play 
basketball  yet.  Anyway.  John 
Hall  and  Jack  Leimback  rushed 
him  over  to  a  whirlpool  bath  and 
tried  to  help  the  Ukeable  fellow 
out.  but  not  much  could  be  done. 
Norm  Held  went  into  the  game 
and  plaved  a  bang-up  ballgame. 
Donnie  Williams  played  a  good 
ball  game  as  a  sub  also.,  and  at 
half  time  the  score  was  all 
knotted  28-28  due  to  the  efforts 
of  Barton.  Crouch.  Covell  and 
Aldridge,  as  well  as  Held  and 
Williams. 

In  the  second  half  L.M.U..  with 
their  tall  timber,  out-jumped,  not 
out-rebounded,  and  out-scored 
Milligan  to  take  the  game  64-60. 
This  was  the  same  score  as  the 
one  bv  which  Belmont  defeated 
the  Milligan  men  in  the  V.S.A.C, 
tourney.  Barton  had  good  posi- 
tion, as  usual,  as  did  Crouch  ana 
Aldridge.  but  L.M.U..  with  their 
taller  men.  didn't  need  position 
as  them  "long-armed"  men  took 
the  ball  off  the  board  like  a  golf 
club  hitting  a  ball  on  a  tee, 
thundered  down  the  lumber,  and 
crammed  it  in.  It  was  a  dam, 
good  game!  Milligan  should  have 
won  that  game  and  the  tourney. 
but  you  can't  blame  Coach  Wal- 
ker or  his  valiant  players  as  they 
tried  and  tried  hard!  Anyone  will 
tell  you  that,  who  w.as  there,  and 
I  was  there!  Look  for  MiUigan 
to  lake  evervthing  next  year. 
They've  got  what  it  takes  and 
they'll  get  it:  -      ^       „ 

Congratulations  to  Al  Covell 
for  making  the  V.S.A.C.  first 
team.  A  worthy  honor  to  a 
worthy  guy.  Look  for  a  lot  of 
Milligan  men  to  make  both  con- 
ference teams  next  year. 

Here  are  some  excerpts  yon 
might  be  interested  in.  Despite  a 
twelve  won.  thirteen  loss  overall 
record,  the  Buffs  finished  with 
an  offensive  average  of  80  points 
a  game  for  a  total  of  2001  points 
in  25  games!  And  four  times  the 
Buffs  topped  the  century  mark 
and  two  more  times  they  were  in 
games  of  a  100  and  105.  but  they 
lost  although  scoring  95  and  76 
points  in  these  games.  The  Buffs 


fave  up  a  defensive  average  of 
1  points  a  game  for  a  total  of 
2026  points  -for  the  opponents. 

Dennis  Greenwell  led  the  scor- 
ing parade  with  344  points,  fol- 
lov/ed  by  At  Covell  with  331,  and 
Bill  Gouge  with  274, 

Greenwell  and  Gaslin  had  the 
top  averages  per  game  with  13,78 
per  cent  and  12,08  per  cent  re- 
spectively, Gaslin,  I  think,  de- 
serves'  credit  here  as  he  some- 
times didn't  start,  and  his  season 
was  cut  short  by  a  brokeh  thumb.

Not  bad'  for  a  team  with  no 
height,  eh!  Some  of  you  grand- 
stand qubrterbacks  who  thought 
the  coach  substituted  wrong  men 
at  v.Tong  times  just  remember 
that  he  thought  he  was  doing  the 
right  thing  to  win  the  game  and 
help  the  players.  After  all.  re- 
member, he  was  with  them  six 
days  a  week  in  practice  and  knew 
what  they,  were  capable  of,,  while 
the  majority  of  us  only  sav/  them 
in  game  conditions.  But,  I  guess 
it  is  an  American  tradition,  or 
MiUigan  tradition,  to  second 
guess  the  Coach.  But,  also  re- 
member, a  liability  oh  the  floor 
is  an  asset  on  the  bench. 

I  don't  have  much  information 
on  baseball  as  yet  but  _I  should 
have  by  the  next  time  the  Stam- 
pede thunders  to  press.  I  do  know 
that  there  are  27  boys  out  with 
returning  lettermen  Covell,  Ald- 
ridge; Williams,,  Fletcher.  War- 
nock,  and  DeVault  back,  but  that's 
all  I  know,  I  don't  know  what 
kind  of  team  or  record  baseball 
will  produce  this  year,  but  if 
some  of  these  players  play  as  well 
as  they  Ulk,  MiUigan  wlU  be  in 
the  World  Series  next  fall.  Not 
that  talking  it  up  hurts  any  but 
I  feel  Mke  Charlie  Smythers  ex- 
pressed it.  He  said  "I'm  getting 
tired  of  hearing  these  boys  say 
how  well  they  hit  in  high  school 
with  their  488  per  cent  batting 
averages,  etc.,  when  they  can't 
hit  one*  out  of.  the  infield."  And 
that  sums  up  this  sermon  in 
three  words:  "Seeing  is  believ- 
ing!"

CORNER 

Have  you  ever  wondered  just 
how  Wednesday  assembly  is  ar- 
ranged? It  is  designed  to  meet.* 
the  currenljieeds  of  the  student 
body;  as  such,  it  is  not  unusual 
to  have  a  last  minute,  switch  In 
the  agenda.  To  show  you  what  I 
mean,  the  following  programs 
were  tentatively  (we  always  say 
that  for  good  measure)  arranged: 
March  16,  Scott  Bartchy  on  the 
piano;  March  22,  "Plato"  by  a 
Chicago  lawyer;  and  March  30, 
another  "Faculty  Fracas."  How- 
ever, as  circumstances  demanded, 
changes  were  made.  Miss  Wie- 
mer  favored  us  with  "Opera- 
tion O"  the  sixteenth,  the  law\'er 
can't  come,  and  we've  now  had 
Bartchy  at  the  piano.  The  point 
of  all  this  is  if  you  have  an  Idea 
or  see  a  need  for  a  Wednesday 
program,  Just  let  it  be  known. 
and  it  will  most-  assuredly  be 
given  consideration. 

You  may  or  may  not  have 
known  that  the  Council  meets 
regularly  every  other  Tuesday 
evening,  at  which  time  we  en- 
,deavor  to  round  up.  Dean  Oakes. 
Miss  Welshihier.  and  fourteen 
often-forgetful  members,  to  settle 
down  to  a  little  serious  business. 
Chief  attention  on  February  22 
was  given  to  a  consideration  of 
the  Student  Union  Building.  Phil 
Bradford,  editor  of  this  paper. 
appeared  before  the  Council  in 
an  endeavor  at  some  positive  ac- 
tion to  back  up  his  editorial — 
which  you,,  no  doubt,  cussed 
and  discussed,  to  use  loosely  a 
well-known  saying — appearing  in 
the  last  issue  of  this  paper.  The 
Council  passed  a  recommenda- 
tion, to  be  given  the  Administra- 
tive CouncO.  that  a  student  he 
hired  to  keep  the  SUB  clean. 
Included  in  the  recommendation 
was  a  request  that  the  responsi- 
bilities of  the  Student  Body,  the 
Student  Council,  and  the  Ad- 
ministration be  more  clearly  de- 
fined for  Us  as  regards  the  gen- 
eral use  of  the  building.  As 
President  Walker,  chairman  of 
this  committee,  is  now  "out  of 
town"  an  immediate  reply  can- 
not be  expected.  However,  I  am 
happy  to  report  that  arrange- 
ments have  been  made  to  hire 
the  needed  student  help.  ,_  What 
say  we  do  our  own  little  bit,  also, 
in  keeping  this.  OUR  Student 
Union  Building  clean!

EDIT'OR'S 
MAILBOX 

Oh.  so!!  Mr.  Tree  Squeaker— 
oops,  I  mean,  Mr.  Free  Speaker 
seems  to  think  that  I'm  not  ill. 
Does  he  think  I'm  just  acting? 
or  throwing  a  tantrum?  or  talking 
to  hear  myself?  Apparently  he 
does. 

Wellf  let's  see.  He  says  that 
enthusiasm  flows  over  the  cam- 
pus like  the  waters  of  the  Buf- 
falo. Now.  that  does  sound  quite 
healthv  and  vital-like,  doesn't 
it?  WeVe  had  enough  enthusiasm 
to  result  in  a  fine  play,  redeco- 
rated prayer  room,  and  a  fine 
tennis  and  baseball  team  turn- 
out. It  all  sounds  real  good,  but 
before  we  let  ourselves  get  blind- 
ed by  that  "baU  of  fire",  also 
mentioned,   let's  reconsider. 

Now,  I  certainly  can  see  all  of 
that_school  spirit  showing  up  in 
finc"slyle  when  the  Wednesday 
assemblies  roll  around  (Even 
when  "the  jazz  band  goes  to 
work).  And  isn't  that  wonderful 
cooperation  which  is  being  shown 
in  the  chow  line?(Now  lhe_Slu- 
dent  Council  has  Co"  stoop  to 
coddle  with  cartoons).  I'm  stire 
that  it  was  through  the  efforts 
of  all  the  Footlighters  that  the 
play  was  such  a  success.  Or  was 
it  the  presence  of  so  many  stu- 
dents at  the  performance  which 
did  it?  I  wonder  if  so  many.  or. 
I  should  say.  so  few.  will  bother 
to  show  up  to  support  the  base- 
ball team,  this  spring.    , 

So  all  this  proves  that  life  here 
is  a  "bed  of  roses,"  If  so.  then  I 
think  I  have  to  be  sick;  but  I 
know  I  have  been  when  I'm  told 
that  "no  griping  ever  takes  place 
on  this  campus."  But  before  I 
submit  myself  to  the  doctors  for 
a  complete  head  examination,  I 
desire  to  ask  two  things.  If  that 
isn't  griping,  then  what  is  it?;  if 
it  is-griping.  so  what? 

When  my  enthusiasm  and  unity 
become  so  transparent  and  my 
hypocrocies  can  be  so  readily 
seen,  then  I  am  sick — ailing  from 
nothing  short  of  malnutrition.

The  primary  purposes  of  any 
international  educational  ex- 
change should  be  educational. 
After  analyzing  the  goals,  of  stu- 
dents and  sponsors  the  Commit- 
tee has  written,  "It  is  apparent 
that  the  sponsoring  groups  em- 
phasize first  broad  social  goals: 
international  underit  a  nd- 
ing,  friendship  for  the  United 
States,  economic  and  social  de- 
velopment of  other  nations.  The 
applicants  themselves,  on  •  the 
other  hand,  are  primarily  per- 
sonaUy  oriented  toward  definite 
academic  achievement  and  pro- 
fessional developrpent." 

Whatever  the  emphasis  of  pro- 
gram sponsors,  the  fundamental 
goal  must  be  education.  A  satis- 
factory educational  experience 
for  each  exchange  is  essential  to 
the  achievement  of  any  subsidi- 
ary goal  of  either  the  exchange 
or  the  sponsor.  Thus,  understand- 
ing and  liking  <for  the  United 
States  become  a  secondary-  objec- 
tive of  exchange  programs,  best 
achieved  through  indirect  means. 

"Belief  that  exchange  of  per- 
sons programs  are  one  of  the 
most  effective  ways  of  sending 
knpwledge  where  it  is  nwst  need- 
ed, and  of  creating  new 
knowledge  which  can  benefit  aU, 
is  a  firm  and  valid  foundation 
upon  which  to  plan  and  support 
them."  The  report  continues.  "The 
broad  social  and  political  goals 
of  exchange  programs — creating 
international  understanding*  de^ 
veloping  favorable  attitudes  of 
nations  toward  the  United  States 
— can  be  attained  but  they  must 
be  recognized  as  long-range  and 
indirect 


Foresighl  Sees  Farther 
Than  Hindsight  In 
Viewing  Marriage  Of 
College  Students 

(Continued  From  Page  One) 
sociate  professor  of  socinlo'gj*  and 
instructor  of  the  class. 

Since  World  War  U.  student 
marriages  have  become  quite 
common  Dr  Hertz  explained,  but 
have  created  some  problems  for 
students,  parents  ,and  college  of- 
ficials .There  are  approximately 
62  married  students  among  Whit- 
tenberg's  1023  member  student 
body.  Some  of  these  are  older 
students  who  were  married  be- 
fore coming  to  college. 

In  the  majority  of  ca^es,  only 
one  of  the  marriage  partners  at- 
tends school,  usually  the  husband. 
However,  there  are  somp  cases 
where  thii  procedure  is  reversed 
and  others  where  both  the  hus- 
band and  wife  are  attending 
classes. 

Two  problems  which  the  Wit- 
tenberg students  discussed  were 
whether  the  student  coupla 
should  have  children.' The  couple 
should  be  prepared  to  meet  the 
situation  before  they  make  up 
their  minds  to  get  married,  the 
students  agreed.  The  husband 
must  be  prepared  to  take  care  of 
the  baby  w-hile  the  uiother  works 
— and  mother  must  realize  that 
hers  will  be  more  than  just  an 
eight -hour -a -day  job. 

Dr.  Hertz  says  the  student  mar- 
riage pattern  of  today  indicates 
a  wilUngness  of  young  people  to 
sacrifice  and  change  roles.  ITle 
professor  believes  that  coUege 
marriages  in  themselves  have 
ver>'  bttle  to  do  \vith  break-up 
of  marriages.  Echoing  the  words 
of  the  students,  the  Rev.  Ralph 
^L  Krueger.  college  pastor,  said, 
"There  must  be  a  consciousness 
of  the  responsibUities  that  mar- 
riage wiU  bring.  Marriages  can 
never  be  taken  lightly.  If  a  stu- 
dent gets  married,  he  or  she  may 
lose  some  of  the  normal  experi- 
ence of  college  life,  particularly 
in  the  areas  of  social  and  extra- 
curricular life."  •

ETCHINGS

By  PHIL  BRADFORD 

Ah!  Sweet  Mystery  of  Life,  At  Last  I've  Found  You  .  .  . 
■  That's  the  song  being  sung  by  the  more  poetic  hearts  on  cam- 
pus these  days.  With  the  coming  of  the  Angel  of  Spring  and 
her  flowing  train  of  flowers  and  greenery,  hearts  are  throb- 
bing and  minds  are  saying  to  their  imprisoning  masters, 
*'Free  me  from  this  deplorable  condition  .  .  .  let's  get  out  into 
the  bright  sunshine  where  we  can  run  and  leap,  where  we 
can  play  to  our  hear't  content  in  the  open  air." 

.  But,  alas  and  alack!!  The  call  of  classroom  duty  is  heard 
iechoing  and  reechoing  through  the  trees  and  shrubbery  .  .  . 
sounding  the  call  of  doom  to  the  poor,  freedom-loving  heart. 
A  deep  voice  speaks  from  within  the  dark  recesses  of  your 
sub-conscious  .  .  .  "Go,  go,  to  the  classroom  and  fulfill  your 
natural  being.  Man  (and  woman,  too)  was  made  to  study 
and  to  wear  his  (or  her)  nose  off  at  the  proverbial  grindstone.' 
You  don't  deserve  any  rest,  you  insolent  pup,  you." 

And  so  it  is  that  these  two  natures  of  man  fight  it  out 
oh.  Spring's  beautiful  battleground  for  the  attentions  of  the 
suffering  student.  What  is  the  poor  guy  {or  girl)  to  do?  Bur- 
dened by  the  yolk  of  this  intense  battle  within  himself  (or 
herself),  the  student  will  yield  sometimes  this  way,  some- 
times'the  other  way  ...  or,  as  is  more  often  the  case,  he  (or 
she)  is  subjected  to  a  strange  form  of  temporary  paralysis 
which  ties  him  (or  her)  to  their  beds  when  those  early 
morning  classes  call.  By  the  time  the  doctor  has  been  sum- 
moned and  arrives,  the  paralysis  has  worn  off  (or,  more  likely, 
the  patient's  first  period  class  is  over.) 

All  of  this  presents  a  very  grave  problem  ...  or  at  least 
the  problem  would  be  grave  if  the  gi;ound  were  too  hard  to 
dig  in.  But  what's  the  use  of  worrying  about  it?  There  are 
only  four  weeks  of  school  left,  anyway. 

THAT  OL'  SPRING  FEVER  BUG  .  .  . 

All  of  this  spring  fever  that  is  floating  around  in  the 
air  makes  a  person  think  (at  least  it  does  if  a  person  happens 
to  be  talerited  in  that  capacity).  We  must  realize  even  more 
when  the  warm  weather  rolls  around  that  there  are  goals 
which  must  be  reached  in  every  endeavor  which  life  offers 
if  the  problems  of  life  are  to  be  met  and  the  jobs  of  life  are 
to  be  done.  The  end  to  all  jobs  must  be  sighted  and  a  pur- 
pose for  them  designated  if  they  are  to  be  completed  in  the 
best  possible  manner.  The  act  of  tying  your  shoelaces  doesn't 
ordinarily  require  much  forethought,  for  it  has  come  to  be 
one  of  those  acts  which  we  perform  almost  by  a  second  na- 
ture; but-,  the  more  complicated  courses  of  action  which  we 
find  in  life  do  require  more  thought.  The  publication  of  a 
newspaper,  for  example,  rec^uires  a  great  deal  of  planning 
and  organization  before  it  can  be  properly  carried  out.  The 
professor  needs  to  set  a  goal  foj-  his  classes,  determine  the 
purpose  of  them  in  his  own  mind,  and  then  act  on  his  plann- 
ing in  the  classroom.  The  student  also  needs  to  ,set  certain 
goals  in  his  work,  although  these  goals  are  already  determin- 
ed largely  by  the  nature  of  his  assignments. 

This  brings  to  mind  the  fact  that  certain  standards  must 
be  reached  in  and  out  of  the  classroom.  We,  as  students,  are 
either  paying  for.  or  are  being  paid  for,  in  our  college  educa- 
tion. Therefore  we  are  only  cheating  ourselves  or  our  par- 
ents when  we  get  a  little  bit  lazy  and  don't  do  that  assign- 
ment. We  find  life  so  much  easier  when  we  can  lay  out  on 
the  lawn  and  sunbathe,  or  play  tennis  all  day.  But  these 
goals  which  we  have  to  reach  and  these  standards  which  we 
have  to  stick  to  will  be  found  in  all  of  life,  and  if  we  aren't 
able  to  reach  them  now,  it  won't  be  any  easier  ten  or  twenty 
years  from  now.  So  put  forth  a  little  more  effort  now,  even 
though  it  is  spring,  and  it  Is  only  common  sense  that  you  will 
be  making  it  easier  for  yourself  later  on  in  life.

THE  ROVING 
REPORTER 

By  The  Roring  Reporter 

As  the  weeks  pass  on  by.  we 
seem  to  see  juat  a  httle  bit  of 
nostalgia  creep  into  the  faces  o£ 
Milliganites.  For  some  of  you. 
summer  will  be  a  well  deserved 
vacation  and  toY  others  of  you 
it  will  be,  simply,  a  vacation. 
Whatever  it  is,  it's  going  to  be  a 
pretty  lonely  one  witnoat  the 
fun,  the  serious  talks,  the  classes, 
and  the  occasional  serenading 
from  Wolf  Hall.  Lots  of  you  will 
be  glad  to  rest  from  classes  for  a 
while,  but  come  fall,  and  you'll 
be  ready  to  trudge  through  again! 
Just  I  when  school  is  about 
through,  you  start  thinking  back 
about  all  the  fun  and  friehds 
th^t  you've  had  through  the 
year.  This  brought  up  the  ques- 
tion of  the  things  that  you  most 
enjoyed  during  your  year  at  Mil- 
ligan.  While  we  "roved"  over  the 
campus  we  came  across  some 
pretty  rare  jieces  of  Homo  Sapl- 
en«  that  told  us  what  they  liked 
most  about  school  this  year. 

Ronald  Dougherty:  "Keeping 
company."  (He  didn't  say  with 
whom,  but  we  know.) 

Billie  Blankenship:  "Working 
on  the  Stagecraft  and  playing 
tennis." 

Bill  Davis:  "Collecting  laundry 
bills." 

Stuffy:  "French  Class."  (Now — 
about  that  "A",  prof.) 

Ethlyn  Basham:  "I  liked  the 
interesting  people  that  I  have  met 
and  the  sweet,  but  corny,  room- 
ies that  I  have  had. 

Wherever  you  go  there  is  some- 
one who's  enjoyed  something.  In 
many  cases,  it  was  hard  to  de- 
cide which  was  the  most  enjoyed 
of  all.  We  enjoyed  just  being 
here  and  being  a  part  of  a  tradi- 
tion— a  great  tradition.

Sixth  Annual 
Guest  Day  Held 

(Continued  From  Page  One) 
isters  on  the  campus.  Mrs.  Dale 
Long,  who  now  lives  in  Johnson 
City,  is  president  of  the  organiza- 
tion. 

Music  for  the  afternoon  will  be 
furnished  by  the  Girl's  Ensemble. 
After  the  meeting  in  the  audi- 
torium, there  will  be  a  conducted 
tour  of  the  campus,  which  will 
point  out  the  major  historic  spots 
of  the  campus  as  well  as  the  more 
scenic  ones.  Follwjng  thq  tour,  a 
tea  will  be  given  at  the  home  of 
President  and  Mrs.  Walker. 

Mrs.  DeLong  reports  that  in 
former  years,  this  occasion  was 
referred  to  as  "Woman's  Day." 
but  that  this  year  it  was  changed 
to  Guest  Day,  so  as  to  give  the 
men  of  the  surrounding  area  a 
chance  to  participate  in  the  day's 
activities. 


FLEETING  TIME  .  .  . 

Well,  here  we  go  again  after 
Spring  Vacation,  and  time  is 
growing  mighty  short.  It  won't 
be  long  until  some  of  us  leave 
this  institution  and  go  out  to  face 
the  cold,  cruel,  world. 

You  know,  it's  a  strange  thing, 
but  time  seems  to  go  faster  and 
faster,  I  would  say  that  the  ma- 
jority of  seniors  doesn't  fully 
realize  that  they  are  about  to  end 
their  college  careers — four  years 
which  looked  like  a  lifetime  when 
we  were  freshmen- 

Maybe  William  P^nn  was  right 
when  he  wrote  these  words: 
"There  is  nothing  of  which  we 
are  apt  to  be  so  lavish  as  of  time, 
and  about  which  we  ought  to  be 
more  solicitous,  since  withoirt  it 
we  can  do  nothing  in  this  world. 
Time  is  what  we  want  most,  but 
what,  alas!  we  use  worst." 

A  MAGAZINE 

WORTH  REAHING  .  .  . 

There  is  a  magazine  in  the  li- 
brary called  Facts  Forum  News. 
If  you  want  to  know  what  is  hap- 
pening in  the  v/orld  today,  but 
all  the  news  is  just  sort  of  a  mass 
of  humble-jumble  to  you,  then 
this  is  the  magazine  that  you 
ought  to  read.  It  presents  a  fair 
treatment  of  both  sides  of  impor- 
tant questions.  There  are  also 
quotations,  poems,  etc.,  which 
make  interesting  reading.  Here 
is  a  poem  which  appeared  in  the 
March  issue,  viritten  by  Lynn 
Landrum.  "columnlator"  of  the 
Dallas  Morning  News:

sible  way.  I  may  get  a  lot  of 
credit  for  putting  out  this  paper, 
but  if  I  didn't  have  the  STAM- 
PEDE Staff  to  lean  on.  X  would 
fall  flat  on  my  face.  We  have 
a  wonderful  cooperation  on 
the  paper  this  year,  as  has  been 
true  probably  -ever  *  since  the 
STAMPEDE  began  to  roll  off  the 
presses.  I  would  like  to  take  this 
opportunity  to  express  my  thank- 
you's  for  all  the  work  that  the 
STAMPEDE  Staff  has  done  this 
year. 

The  staff  of  an  organization  is 
its  backbone,  without  which  it 
might  fold  up  and  go  out  of  busi- 
ness— so  if  you  havfe  liked  the 
STAMPEDE  this  year,  tell  the 
people  on  the  staff  who  have 
been  responsible  .  ;  .  the  report- 
ersi  feature  writers,  etc,  who 
have  made  it  possible  all  year  for 
the  STAMPEDE  to  be  published. 

Of  course  we  have  our  bad 
moments  and  our  bad  days,  and 
the  staff  has  had  to  take  a  lot 
from  me  this  year.  We  some- 
times get  our  "deadline  dol- 
drums" when  that  day  rolls 
around,  but.  all  in  all,  the  co- 
operation from  each  and  every 
one  of  the  staff  members  has 
been  wonderful.  And  I'd  hate  to 
think  that  I  didn't  mean  every 
word  of  this.

AN  EDUCATION  .  .  . 

All  of  us  at  Milligan  have  at 
Itast  one  thing  in  common— we 
are  getting  an  education.  But 
what  is  an  education?  How  do 
we  know  when  we  are  educated? 
Is  the  possessor  of  a  diploma  an 
educated  man? 

Men  who  are  truly  educated 
are  few  and  far  between.  Even 
many  of.  those  people  (teachers) 
who  attempt  to  miparl  an  educfi- 
tion  to  others  arc  not'  usually 
iruly  educated.  Therefore  it  would 
be  valuable'  to  e-xamine  some  of 
the  characteristics  of  an  "educat- 
ed" man,  since  educated  men  do 
seem  to  be  such  a  rdre  species. 

It  should  be  kept  in  mind  that 
this  "educated"  man  becomes 
truly  educated  because  he  takes 
advantage  of  every  opportunity 
to  grow  in  knowledge.  Few  of  us 
(including  myself)  rarely  take  the 
time  or  effort  involved  in  such 
an  undertaking. 

The  -educated  man  is  lifceraKy 
educated.  Although  he  may  be 
a  specialist  in  a  particular  field 
(physical  education,  business,  re- 
ligion, -elementao-  education,  mu- 
sic, etc.,  etc.)  he  nas  a  knowledge 
of  the  people  and  world  about 
him  and  how  these  people  and 
this  world  came  to  be  what  they 
are.  In  other  words  he  has  an 
acquaintance  "with,  the  arts  and 
sciences.  He  has  an  understanding 


of  the  many  aspects  of  his  biologi- 
cal and  chemical  envixonmenta. 
He  has  a  command  of  the 
language'he  speaks.  He  isable 
to  appreciate  beauty  and  creative 
ability,  whether  it  is  in  nature, 
literature,  art,  or  music.  He  is 
able  to  view  ithe  present  with 
more  comprehension  because  ho 
is  acquainted  with  the  past.  The 
liberally  educated  man  also  has 
a  knowledge  of  God  as  revealed 
through  the  Bible. 

The  educated  man  has  a  thirst 
for  further  knowledge  and  self- 
improvehient.  This  is  particularly 
true  in  his  vocation,  in  which  he 
informs  himself  of  the  latest 
techniques  and  developments 
which  occur.  Periodicals  and 
books  continue  to  be  his  text- 
books outside  of  college. 

'I'he  educated  man  is  aware  of 
current  happenings  In  his  lo- 
<;ality,  nation  and  world — especi- 
ally those  events  which  greatly 
influence  his  fufUre.  The  affairi 
of  the  government  that  he  hai 
helped  to  choose  are  known  to 
him.  He  can  talk  and  vote  in- 
telligently on  vital  issues. 

The  educated  man  can  clearly 
transmit  his  thoughts  to  others. 
He  uses  logic  in  his  thinking  and 
clarity  in  his  words,  whether  on 
paper,  in  conversation,  or  from 
a  public  platform. 

The  educated  man  is  tolerant 
and  receptive.  He  can  get  along 
with  people  of  another  nationali- 
tv  or  race,  and  he  judges  a  man 
only  on  his  abilities  and  capa- 
bilities. He  respects  the  opinions 
of2  others.  He  does  not  discard 
ideas  simply  because  they  are  not 
his  own.  He  weighs  these  new 
ideas  and  places  them  against 
v/hat-he  considers  to  be  the  truth, 
and,  if  necessary  in  view  of  over- 
whelming evidence,  he  even 
changes  his  convictions. 

The  educated  man,  even  though 
being  open-minded,  has  definite 
principles  and  beliefs  on  which 
he  bases  his  life.  He  is  not  sway- 
ed by  every  new.  doctrine  or 
philosophv.  He  does  not  wander 
aimlessly  in  life,  but  strives  to 
reach  definite  goals. 

The  eduoeted  man  is  free.  He 
is  his  own  master.  He  does  not 
conform  to  ever>-  vogue  of  society. 
He  does  nothing  merely  because 
everyone  else  does  it.  but  has  a 
mind  and  reason  of  his  own-  Ha 
is  responsible  for  his  own  welfare 
and  security,  not  yielding  to  the 
Utopian  promises  of  a  give-away 
government.  - 

The  educated  man  is  convmced 
that,  above  ■  ever>-thing  eUe,  he 
is  required  to  pay  allegiancfe  to 
his  Creator.  He  realires  the  great 
significance  of  the  death  of  Christ 
on  the  Cross  and  the  implicationa 
that  this  death  has  for  him.  The 
entire  life,  therefore,  of  the  edu- 
cated  man  is  buiU  on  the  solid 
rock.  When  the  storms  come,  tlua 
life  will  be  indestructible,  both  • 
now  and  forever. 

Are  you  educated?

Cheek  Chatter 

By   JULIE   GREEN 

All  the  girls  hove  been  exposed 
to  it!  Everyone  knew  something 
would  happen!  On  April  Fools' 
Day  Bob  gave  Terry  the  box  con- 
taining a  piece  of  paper  reading 
the  usual  "April  Fool".  However, 
that's  not  all  to  the  story;  for  the 
next  day  Terry  got  the  sparkler 
on  her   third  finger  lelt  hand, 

Larger  rings  hE(ve  been  passed 
from  one  person  to  another 
around  Cheek.  Lois  Ferret)  and 
Betty  Jane  Stout  are  carrying 
their  left  shoulders  a  little  lower 
.than    their  right   ones  now. 

Scrambling  over  mountains  and 
mounds  of  l6ggage,  duffle  bags, 
bedding,  and  general  stuff,  we 
spied  Marg  Hastings  one  Satur- 
day night.  We  have  all  missed 
Mag  since  she  left  about  a  month 
ago  for  Indianapolis.  Heh  shower 
stall  has  been  empty,  the  rafters 
haven't  rung  with  her  scattered 
screams,  nor  have  the  second 
floor  girls  shuddered  at  what 
sounded  like  a  baby  hippopota- 
mus tumbling  down  the  third 
floor  hall.  Marg  has  left  us  phy- 
sically, but  we  in  Cheek  still 
think  of  her. 

The  Cheekites  are  -almost  rest- 
ed from  their  vacations  at  dif- 
ferent places.  Dianne  Barnes 
helped  with  a  revival  meeting  at 
her  home  church  by  the  life  re- 
cruits of  that  church.  Judy  Reute- 
buch  and  Liz  De  Armond  travel-

Farland  took  her  bird  and  v,ent 
to  Pat  Robert's  home  in  Newport

The  students,  accompanied  by 
Professor  Niles,  went  to  U.  T.  on 
Fr,iday.  April  15,  and  were  for-" 
mally  initiated.  A  banquet  fol-

The  four  members  who  met 
the  requirements  for  entrance 
into  the  fraternity  were  Pat  Bon-

and  Hope  Irwin. 

The  entire  ceremony  was  con-i

On  April  21.  Jim  Hamilton 
journeyed  to  State  College  to  a 
Pre-Med  meeting.  State  invited 
all  of  our  pre-med  students  to  a 
joint  meeting,  but  Jim  was  the 
only  one  who  was  able  to  attend 


They  are  trying  to  start  a  Pre- 
Med  Club  again. 

Another  film  has  been  ordered 
and  will  be,  shown  at  a  future 
meeting. 

CHRISTIAN     - 
■      SERVICE  CLUB  .  .  . 

The  Christian  Service  Club  had 
a  very  unusual  biJt  delightful 
meeting  April  18.  The  members 
and  anyone  else  v/ho  cared  to  go 
met  at  Hardin  Hall,  piled  in  three 
.cars  so  graciously  provided  for 
the  occasion,  and  traveled  to  the 
home  of  Dr,  Derthick  in  Eliza- 
bethton. He  was  sitting  on  his 
front  steps  patiently  waiting  for 
us  to  arrive. 

After  a  warm  and  friendly  wel- 
come, we  were  permitted  to  roam 
through  his  home.  He  showed  ub  . 
pictures  of  his  wife  and  even 
some  pictures  made  when  he  and 
his  wife  were  married. 

In  his  living  room,  we  had  one 
of  the  most  inspirational  meet- 
ings of  the  year.  Pat  Reitzel,  with 
Pat  Topping  at  the  piano,  led  us 
in  some  songs.  Dr,  Derthick  told 
of  some  of  ms  experiences  while 
he  was  teaching  at  Milligan. 

To  top  this  evening  off.  re- 
freshments of  punch,  cookies,  and 
nuts  were  served  in  "help  your- 
self" style.  I'm  sure'  everyone 
had  a  most  wonderful  time

SPORTS  SECTlO!S 

.   .   .   With   PAT  HAND 


As  everybody  should  know  by  now,  this  is  the  season  of 
the  year  when  the  girl's  thoughts  turn  to  what  the  boys  have 
been  thinking  about  all, winter— BASEBALL! 

MilHgan's  hard-ballers  ended  their  famine  by  snapping 
up  Kiag  College,  and  also  added  Carson -Newman's  fine  club 
to  their  feast  by  a  score  of  5-2,  before  having  a  gastric  up- 
heaval and  losing  to  State  College,  It  seems  that  thfey  have 
momentarily  gone  on  a  diet  again  after  the  L.M.U.  game,  but 
they  are  looking  for  something  to  bite  into. 

Elsewhere  on  this  page  will  be  found  a  detailed  write-up 
of  the  games-to-date  written  by  that  famous  sports  writer, 
John  Hand. 

Meanwhile,  let  us  read  into  some  nosey  news  from  be- 
hind the  scenes.  While  hanging  around  the  locker  room  try- 
ing to  steal  the  broken  bats,  I  canie  across  these  items  of  in- 
'terest  with  the  assistance  of  Coach  Walker.  For  instance,  did 
you  know  that: 

The  first  erjcor  of  the  year  was .  made  by  Bill  Gouge 
against  Emory  and  Henry? 

Covell  (Lil'  Al)  got  the  first  hit  this  year? 

Jim  Devault  made  the  first  out  at  bat?  and  the  first  put- 
out  was  from  Covell  to  Aldridge  at  first  base? 

The  first  stolen  base  was  by  (of ■  all  people)  Razz  Fletcher 
against  King  in  the  second  inning? 

The  first -Milligan  man  to  score  a  run  this  year  was  Dave 
Poorman  against  King?  . 

The  first  winning  pitcher  for  Milligan  in  two  years,  since 

Howard  Jarrett  did  it  in  1951,  was  Duard  Aldridge 
against  King?  Also,  the  first  and  only  balk 'was  made  by 
Aldridge  against  King,  He. dropped  the  ball!! 

Gouge  gave  up  the  first  base  on  balls?  Yep!  First  inning 
in  tjie  Emon,'  and  Henry  game. 

The  first  walk  was  taken  by  Poorman  in  the  first  inning 
against  King? 

The  first  man  to  strike  out  was  Jack  Gardner — by  Emory 
and  Henry  in  the  second  inning? 

The  first  pitcher  for  Milligan  who  made  a  batter  fan  the 
breeze  was  Bill  Gouge?— Second  inning  against  Emory  and 
Henry. 

The  first  RBI  (run  batted  in)  was  by  Covell,  who  batted 
in  Poorman- 

Donnie  Williams  made  the  first  sacrifice?— First  inning 
against  Carsort-Newman. 

"Red"  Warnock  was  the  first  man  to  get  a  single  base 
hit? — against  Emory  and  Henry, 

Al  Covftll  got  the  first  double?  He  did  this  while  getting 
the  first  hit  of  the  year— it  was  right  down  the  left  field  line. 

The  longest  extra  base  blow  (on  record)  goes  to  Al  Covell 
with  a  triple? 
Well,  these  are  just  about  all  the  "firsts"  that  I  found. 

ELSEWHERE  IN  THOUGHT  ... 

I  saw  "A  Man  Called  Peter"  last  Tuesday  night,  and  why 
I  say  this  is  that  it  reminded  me  of  the  basketball  season 
and 'of  a  faith  that  a  lot  of  men  had.  Nothing  impressed  me 
more  about  the  team  this  year  than  what  they  did  at  the 
S.M.A.C.  tournament.  Before  going  out  onto  the  floor,  the 
team  joined  hands  in  a  tight  circle  and  prayed.  I  was  further 
impressed  by  finding  out  that  this  had  happened  before  every 
ballgame.  You  might  say,  "Why  not  pray?"  but  they  didn't 
pray  to  win.  They  asked  for  safety  for  both  teams  and  that 
the'better  ti^am  might  win.  There  was  nothing  selfish  about 
it  at  all.  May  God  bless  a  group  of  men  like  thisi!

Iowa  State 
Has  Largest 
Men's  Dormitory 

AMES,  la,— (LP.)—  With  the 
link  now  completed  between 
Iowa  State's  two  men's  dormi- 
tories, Friley-Hughes  Hall  holds 
the  dubious  distinction  of  being 
the  largest  men's  dormitory  un- 
der one  roof  in  the  United  States. 
"Friley-Hughes  Hall  is  bigger 
than  85  per  cent  of  the  towns  in 
Iowa  arid  the  home  of  an  organi- 
:;ation  which  is  equalled  in  very 
few  places  in  this  country,"  de- 
clares Richard  Wiggins,  president 
of  the  Men's  Residence  Associa- 
tion. 

"It  also- produced  added  prob- 
lems in  government,"  he  said.  "In 
an  organization  as  large  as  this, 
our  main  problem  is  to  keep  the 
mdividual  man  at  the  front." 
Each  resident  of  the  hall  is  in- 
vited to  join  the  MRA.  The  $5 
a  year  dues,  when  added  to  the 
$8,000  budget,  provides  activities 
such-  as  Camera  Club,  Weight- 
lifters  Club  and  Bridge  and  Toast- 
masters  Clubs. 

Stu'dies  are  being  made,  he  said, 
in  regards  to  student  fees.  He 
pointed  out  that  among  land 
grant  colleges  and  universities'  in 
the  nation,  only  10  change  home 
state  students  higher  fees,  than 
those  prevailing  at  North  Car- 
olina's three  institutions.  Of  this 
10  only  Virginia  is  in  the  South, 
and  Virginia  charges  are  less  than 
one  dollar  per  student  more. 

President  Gray  says  "There  is 
no  absolute  magic  figure  for  stu- 
dent fees,  nor  even  a  relative 
one,"  and  indicates  that  in  the 
future  the  decision  must  be  made 
as  to  whether  to  raise  fees  "or 
to  cut  back  our  program." 


Milligan  Buffs  Win  Two  To  Snap 
Losing  Streak;  Aldridge,  Gibbs  Win 

The  MilhgiAn  Men  of  the  Diamond  have  snapped  a  two 
year  losing  streak  by  beating  the  King  College  Tornado  5-5. 

Duard  Aldridge  gave  up  only  3  hits  in  becoming  the  first 
winning  pitcher  for  Milligan  in  two  years. 

He  was  given  good  support  at  the  plate  by  Al  Covell, 
who  had  3  singles  and  a  double,  and  "Red"  Wamock,  who 
pulled  two  singles  out  of  the  bag. 

Keen,  of  King,  was  the  losing  pitcher. 

MILLIGAN /'SHAKES"  CARSON-KEWMAN  5-2- 

Carson-Newman  got  "shook"  by  the  Milligan  College 
Buffs  5-2  for  MiUigan's  second  win  in  three  starts, 

Nolan  Gibbs  hurled  a  five-hitter  to  become  Milligan's 
'second  winning  pitcher  of  the  year.  This  win  can  be  con- 
sidered quite  a  feat  in  our  little  baseball  world  since  our 
beloved  rivals  conquered  U.  of  Cincimiati  2-1. 

Gibbs  was  backed  to  the  hilt  at  the  plate  by  John  Hall, 
Duard  Aldridge,  Jack  Gardner,  Dennis  Greenwell,  Al  Covell, 
"Red"  Wamock  and  Don  Williams. 

;  Payne  was  the  losing  pitcher  for  darson-Newman. 

Frosty  Holt,  the  Carson-Newman  baseball  coach,  said 
after  the  game  that  "he  didn't  believe  it,  and  that  his  team 
could  beat  Milligan  seven  day's  out  of  the  week."  Looks  like 
an  eighth  day  slipped  in  there  somehow. ' 

Milligan  has  also  lost  three  games  as.of  this  writing,  but 
these  have  already  been  v/ritten  up  in  our  rival  school  papers, 
so  the  heck  with  saying  anything  more  about  it.

TIRED  MOTHERS 

(Printed  in  Ihe  Chicago  Tribune"  About  50  Yean  Ago.) 

A  little  elbow  leans  upon  your  knee. 

Your  tired  knee  that  has  so  much  to  bear; 
A  child's  dear  eyes  are  looking  lovingly 

From  underneath  a  thatch  of  tangled  hair. 
Perhaps  you  do  not  heed  the  velvet  touch 

Of  warno,  moist  fingers,  folding  yours  so  tight; 
You  do  not  prize  this  blessing  overmuch. 

You  almost  are  too  tired  to  pray  tonight. 

But  it  is  blessedness!    A  year  ago 

I  did  not  see  it  as  I  do  today — 
We  are  so  dull  and  thankless;  and  too  slow 

To  catch  the  sunshine  till  it  slips  away. 
And  now  it  seems  surpassing  strange  to  me 

That  while  I  wore  the  badge  of  motherhood, 
,  I  did  not  kiss  more  oft  and  tenderly 

The  little  child  that  brought  me  only  good. 

And  if  some  night  when  you  sit  down  to  rest 

You  miss  this  elbow  from  your  tired  knee; 
This  restless,  curly  head  from  off  your  breast; 

This  bsping  tongue  that  chatters  constantly; 
If  from  your  own  the  dimpled  h'ands  had  slipped, 

And  ne'er  would  nestle  In  your  lap  again; 
If  the  white  feet  into  their  grave  had  tripi»ed. 

I  could  not  blame  you  for  your  heartache  then. 
I  wonder  so  that  mothers  ever  fret 

At  little  children  clinging  to  their  gown; 
Or  that  the  f&otprints  when  the  days  are  wet 

Are  ever  block  enough  to  make  them  frown. 
If  I  could  find  a  little  muddy  boot. 

Or  cap  or  jacket  on  my  chamber  floor; 
If  I  could  kiss  a  rosy,  restless  foot. 

And  hear  it  palter  in  my  house  once  more; 

U  I  could  mend  a  broken  cart  today, 

Tomorrow  make  a  kite  to  reach  the  sk>' — 
There  ir  no  woman  in  God's  world  could  say 

She  was  more  blissiilly  content  than  I. 
But,  ah!  the  dainty  pillow  next  my  own 

Is  never  rumpled  by  a  shining  head — 
My  singing  birdling  from  its  nest  is  flown: 

The  little  one -I  used  to  kiss  is  dead. 

— Mary  Louise  Riley  Smith

A  Challenge  To 

Next  Year's 

Freshmen 

By  BARBARA  SCOTT 

The  Fresliman  Class  this  year 
has  been  so  active  and  has  ac- 
complished fio  much  that  we  feel 
we  will  continue  to  be  as  success- 
here.  We  ai'&  proud  of  our  class 
and  we  know  that  as  we  climb 
together  up  the  academic  ladder 
we  will  continue  to  be  as  success- 
ful a,s  we  have  been  this  year. 
We  have  been  well-guided  by  our 
officers— President,  Scott  Bart- 
chy;  vice-president.  John  Mills: 
-secretary,  Barbara  Scott;  ana 
treasurer,  Thelma  Speer.'  Coach 
Duard  Walker  has  done  a  fine 
job  in  the  unenviable  position  as 
Freshman  Class  advisor. 

I'hc  primary  accomplishment 
of  the  Freshman  Class  this  past 
year  was  the  organization  ot  the 
class  project,  which,  upon  com- 
pletion, will  be  a  definite  addi- 
tion to  the  beauty  of  the  campus. 
The  project  is  a  Wrought-iron 
archway  on  stone  pillars  which 
will  be  erected  at  the  main  en- 
trance of  the  school. 

.Toward  accomplishing  this  goal, 
the  class  has  sponsored  many  ac- 
tivities during  the  year. 

On  November  6.  Sadie  Haw- 
kin's  Day  was  observed,  climaxed 
by  a  Dogpatch  Partj-  in  the  Sub. 

The  Freshman  Class,  along  with 
the  other  classes  at  Milligan,  sold 
Burley  Bowl  tickets  just  before 
Thanksgiving. 

We  held  a  work  day  on  May 
14  of  this  year  which  netted  a 
considerable  amount  for  our 
archway  fund. 

A  box  social,  which  we  hope 
will  become  an  annual  affair,  was 
enjoyed  in  the  gymnasium  by  a 
small  but  select  group. 

We   chose  Barbara   Smith   and 
Dick    Calvert    to    represent    the 
Freshmen   on   May  Day   and  se-

CAMPUS  SCENES  .  .  . 

Many  of  the  students  will  not  be  returning  next  year  for 
'arious  reasons.  They  will  be  missed  but  I  know  that  we  all 
,fish  the  best  of  happiness  to  them.  Don't  forget  ole  M.  C. 

Congratulations  to  all  the  new  officers  of  the  clubs  and 
he  Student  Council.  We  know  Omer  and  his  workers  will  do 
good  job,  so  be  on  hand  to  give  them  your  cooperation!!! 

These  last  two  weeks  are  wonderful  except  for  the  exams 
Dr  the  unfortunate  classes.  The  picnics,  suppers,  receptions, 
'arewell,  -and  practices  have  been  fun.  It  is  something  to  be 
smembered  and  cherished  all  your  life.  If  you  are  one  who 
jst  complains  about  all  of  it — don't  worry— you'll  do  that 
11  your  life. 

I'll  bet  some  of  you  were  surprised  to  learn  about  the 
iris'  chorus.  The  performah(;e  was  given  after  much  work 
it  keeping  from  learning  (he  music,  it  seems)  .  .  .  Girls,  next

)  the  Lake.  (Well,  but  natch,  it  is  in  good  ole  N.  C)  The  trip

Talk  of  Traditions 

BY  BARBAflA  SCOTT 
"HEMEMBERING"   i   .   . 

In  this  column  thi.s  year  wc 
have  fried  to  present  to  you  the 
back|rounda  of  many  of  the- 
buildings  and  other  spots'  of  in- 
terest on  the  Milligan  compus. 

Here,  in  this  last  article  of  the 
year,  let's  mention  a  few  of  the 
familiur  things  that  are  tradi- 
tionally connected  with  Milligan 
College.  ' 

Let's  begin  with  the  familiar 
and  basic  motto — "Christian  Edu- 
cation,  the  Hope  of  the  World/' — 
,a  Milligan  standard,  and  a  good 
one. 

On  the  hghter  side,  there  is  an- 
other phrase  almost  equally 
familiar:  "Just  another  service 
rendered  by  the  Men  of  Pardee." 

And  there  are  the  little  things: 
the  Hopwood  stump,  the  peace- 
fulness  of  the  banks  along  the 
Buffalo,  the  line  in  the  chow 
hall,"  the  gab  sessions  In  the  dorm, 
the  stillness  of  prayer  in  the 
chapel,  the  pairing-off  that  "hap- 

fiens  every  spring,"  the  care  go- 
ng to  surrounding  churches  on 
Sunday,  the  desperate  cramming 
before  finals,  the  clanging  bell 
cheering  a  winning  team,  the 
spring  fever  that  stacks  rooms 
and,  throws  people  In  fishponds, 
the  Presidential  Steps,  the  Prayer 
Room  and  Prayer  Hill,  and  the 
Sub. — a  new  gathering  place. 

There  are  so  many  more — you 
can  add  to  the  list  with  private 
memories,  but  all  of  them  mean 
one  thing — Milligan.  And  they'll 
always  mean  that  to  you  wher- 
ever you  go.  That's  another  Mil- 
ligan   tradition — remembering.

Hyder^s  Pitter-Pat 

By  PAT   TOPPING 

Everyone  has  a  great  desire  in 
life  and  the  Hyder  Gang  is  no 
exception.  (I'll  admit  that  some 
are  a  little — off  ... 

When  I  asked  them  what  they 
Would  like  to  happen  in  their 
life  between  now  and  next 
OHristmas.  there  were  various 
answers!!!  .    ^ 

Peaches  said,  "Dh,  my  good- 
ness!!" (I^ow  I  say,  What  could 
that  mean?") 

Red  Warnock  (a  frequent  visi- 
ttor)  said,  "I  won't  answer  on  the 
grounds  that  it  might  incriminate 
me."  We  know,  don't  we?) 

Carolyn'  wants  someone  t6 
"sweep  her  off  her  feet".  I  tried 
but  I  guess  the  broom  wasn't 
strong  enough.  She  is  also  look- 
ing forward  to  a  certain  guy  com- 
ing to  her  graduation  (if  he  is 
out  of  the  army  by  then). 

Ruth  refuses  to  give  an  answer 
-but  we  all  have  a  pretty  good 
idea.  She  does  have  a  hard  time 
making  up  her  mind  (?)  though. 
,  We .  all  know,  of  course,  that 
Sue  and  Donna  want  td  be  with 
the  men  they  love.  (They  weren't 
on 'hand  for  questioning,  but  this 
is  a  pretty  good  guess.) 

Recently  at  the  Ryder's  40th 
wedding  anniversary  where  there 
were  many  celebrities  (Milligan 
Profs.)  we  were  the  servers.  We 
all  brought  home  a  piece  of  cake 
for  our  roommates  (who  were  all 
there).  Redi  broke  his  camera 
Irving  to  make  us  book  beauti- 
ful for  a  picture.  When  a  picture 
of  all  Prof's  "in-laws"  were  made 
guess  who  was  on  the  front  row!! 

Our  one  little  "Rat"  up  here 
will  have  her  little  hands  full 
(of  breakfast  trays)  during 
SENIOR  WEEK.  We  mean  to  take 
full  advantage  of  any  service  any- 
one wishes  (?)  to  give  us. 

This  will  be  my  last  writing 
for  you  find  I  must  admit  It  has 
become  worser'  and  worser — but 
I've  tried!!  I  hope  this  and  Mil- 
ligan Stew  hove  brought  you 
some  bit  of  gossip  that  you  didn't 
already  know. 

Mbv  God  bless  everyone-  of  you. 
I  mean  you,   too,  Ruth.  I'll 


It  seems  that  everyohe  wants  to  have  that  last  picnic  or 
banquet  before  the  Seniors  graduate.  If  you  are  in  more  than 
(?ne  club,  you  are  really  having  a  time  trying  to  attend  all 
of  the  activities  or  else  you  are  trying  to  decide  which  one 
you  should  go  to.  i 

Another  big  issue  of  the  social  life  on  campus  is  elect- 
ing the  students  that  will  do  the  best  job  as  officers  of  the 
clubs  for  the  next  semester. 

,  FTA 

The  Futtire  Teachers  have  decided  to  take  time  off  from 
their  books  and  enjoy  a  hamburger  fry  at  Watauga  Lake 
Monday  evening.  I  don't  think  there  is  anything  better  than 
a  nice  juicy  hamburger  cooked  over  an  outdoor  grill.  Mrs. 
Oakes  is  baking  some  delicious  pies  to  top  those  hamburgers. 
DIAPASON  CLUB 

The  Diapason  Club  was  just  organized  this  year,  but 
they  have  had  a  pretty  good  year.  The  only  trouble  is  getting 
members.  The  members  must  be  taking  organ  lessons.  It 
makes  it  kind  of  hard  to  have  to  talk  students  In  to  taking 
organ  lessons  just  so  they  can  become  a  tnember  of  the  club. 
The  members  met  May  19,  and  voted  to  keep  the  same  of- 
ficers until  next  year.  The  officers  now  are:  president.  Jack 
Pratt;  secretary,  Marylyn  Roiell;  and  program  chairman, 
Ahhe  RobinSon. 

PRE-MED  CLUB 

Guess  what  the  pre-meder's  are  up  to  now.  You  guessed 
it!  Ahother  One  of  those  stomach-filling  hamburger  frys  at 
Professor  Sisk's.  I'm  sure  everyone  that  went  had  a  wonder- 
ful time.  A  short  business  meeting  was  held  to  elect  the  of- 
ficers that  will  lead  the  club  next  year.  Jim  Hamilton,  presi- 
dent; Ken  Hanks,  vice-president;  and  Julie  Green,  secretary 
and  treasurer,  will  hold  offices  next  year. 

SERVICE  SEEKERS 

Election  of  officers  was  the  main  topic  at  the  last  meet- 
ing of  the  Service  Seekers.  They  really  plaui  to  get  things 
off  to  a  good  start  next  y«ar.  The  following  were  honored 
with  an  office:  Ann  Robinson,  president;  Hope  Irvin,  vice 
president;  and  Carol  Decker,  secretary  and  treasurer. 
FOOTLIGHTERS 

If  you  didn't  attend  the  Footlighters'  banquet,  you  t-Gally 
missed  a  good  steak  supper  and  a  well-plarmed  program. 
'  When  the  Footlighters  have  something,  they  certainly  go 
out  for  it.  Hal  Youngblood  of  Johnson  City  was  the  speaker. 
He  has  signed  a  contract  with  the  RKO  motion  picture  ahd 
will  be  leaving  some  time  soon.  The  girls'  trio,  Pat  Masters, 
Carole  Wardle,  and  Dianne  Barnes,  sang  a  few  numbers. 
Also  on  the  program  were  George  Poston  and  his  accordion 
and  Burley  Williams  and  his  guitar. 

The  highlight  of  the  evening  was  the  announcement  of 
the  officers  for  the  coming  year  of  both  the  Footlighters  ahd 
Alpha  Psr  Omega.  Th^  Footlighters'  officers  are  president, 
Ruth  Eason;  vice  president,  Margaret  Butler;  secretary,  Helen 
Hyder;  and  treasurer,  Lu  Davis. 

The  officers  for  the  Alpha   Psi  Omega  are  president,

THE    STAMPEDE 


Thursday,  June,  2,  1955 


RINGSIDE  SEAT 


:  ;-     STAMPEDE 

\SPORTS  SECTIOf^    ' 
.  i  .   With   PAT  HAND 

Here  goes  the  lost  attempt,  bt  c 
writing  for  a  school  newspaper. 
Tm  closing  out  four  years  here 
at  MJlligan  of  writing  for  a 
school 'paper  and  I  won't  have  to 
worry  about  deadlines  anymore 
...  at  least,  not  on  a  school 
paper. 

There  will  be  other  deadlines, 
of  course,  for  others  things,  but 
rU  always  remember  the  dead- 
lines I  had  to  meet  at  Millifian: 
The  10:30  deadline  in  the  girl's 
dorm,  which -I  haven't  thought 
too  much  about  for  almost  a 
year;  the  6:00  o'clock  deadline  at 
the  chow  hall;'  the  8;00  o'clock 
class  deadline  every  morning  for 
four  years;  the  deadlines  for  term 
papers,  or  the  deadline  -for 
getting  to  a  game  or  practice  on 
time.  All  of  these  have  been  an 
important  part  in  my  life,  and 
I'll  miss  them.  But  time  marches 
on.  and  we  must  make  room  for 
the  men  of  tomorrow,  which  aU 
of  us  were  yesterday. 

I'm  not  juat  saying  goodbye  to 
a  school,  but  to  a  lot  of  friends 
that  I  may  never,  or  seldom  ever, 
see  again  after  seeing  them  every 
day  for  4,  3,  2,  and  1  years. 

That  is  what  breaks  my  heart, 
and  if  vou  see  tears  on  this  page, 
weep  with  me,  friend— I'm  un- 
happy, 

Bui  before  I  pencil  my  last 
"30"  I'll  relate  a  few  news  Items 
to  you  .  .  . 

I  guess  it's  up  to  me  to  com- 
mend the  track  team,  since  it 
hasn't  been  done  as  far  as  I  know. 
I  won't  mention  any  names, 'be- 
cause I'm  afraid  I'll  leave  some- 
one out,  but  to  you  trackmen. 
I'll  say,  "Thank  you  .  .  ■  thanks 
for  running,  for  even  trying,  for, 
as  the  coaches  say,  "It's  the  spirit 
that  counts."'  ,     "-      t 

That's  about  all  you  had,  1 
guess.  Condition  would  have 
helped,  but  we  got  started  too 
late.  Milligan  had  a  practice  meet 
with  State,  Tusculum,  and  Wm. 
Jennings  Bryan,  and  one  more 
with  Mars  Hill  and  Tusculum. 
We  didn't  win  either,  but  the 
benefits  gained  from  it  were 
such  as  to  compensate.  For  ex- 
ample, the  best  thing  we  learned 
was  what  not  to  do,  Milbgan  will 
be  lucky  to  have  a  track  team 
next  year.  Spirit,  even  the  strong- 
est quits  after  being  whipped 
■too  many  times,  and  especially 
if  it  is  kicked  while  it  is  down. 
There  is  a  rather  abstract  way 
of  saying  that  there  will  prob- 
ably not  be  a  track  team  when 
such  a  team  could  be  assured 
of  Mot  gaining  any  recognition 
for  its  work,  even  jt  it  wasn  t 
the  best,  ,     ,  .      ,. 

But,  in  spite  of  this.  I  v e  en- 
joyed Milligan  and  all  that  it 
stands  for.  I've  enjoyed  other  ac- 
tivities,  as  Well  as  sports,  and 
I  earnestly  believe  that  the  world 
does  not  stop  and  go  with  ath- 
letics any  more  than  it  dbes  with 
anything  else.  While  on  the  sub- 
ject of  sports,  I  would  hke  to  say 
that  if  the  school  would  stoop  so, 
low  as  to  give  academic  credit 
for  such  classes  as  tumbling  and 
-camping,  I  would  stoop  lower  to 
take  Ihcm.  and  on  either  count 
1  don't  think  the  school  or  my- 
self would  have  to  bend  over 
even  slightly!    !    ! 

But  to  get  back  on  the  mam 
subject.  I  would  Uke  to  say 
thanks  and  congratulations  to  the 
track  team— valiant  men  they 
were— and  to  the  sports  heroes  of 
tomorrow's  basketball  squad,  the 
Freshman  basketball  squad.  We 
enjoyed  you  .this  year  more  th>i 
you  thought  we  did,  and  wo 
earnestly  hope  that  you  rnake 
the  big  team  someday,  But,  u 
you  don't,  take  the  advice  of  an 
old  Hand,  "don't  let.  it  throw 
VOU-"  As  it  has  been  said  by  far 
wiser  men  than  us  (in  their  own 
modified  English)  "It  am  t  how 
you  win  or  lose  that  counts,  its 
how  you  played  the  R«rne,,„,P"*'' 
it  clean  and  square.  Milligan, 
and  vou'U  never  regret  it— and 
it  doesn't  do  any  good  to  gnpe, 
Bo  transfer. 

I  could  go  on  and  on  about 
games,  parties,  club  meetings, 
plnys  Saturday  night  movies. 
Dairy  Queen  trips,  swimming. 
buU  sessions,  lousy  chow,  po<\ 
chow,  good  chopel  speakers, 
lousy  chapel  speakers,  profes- 
lors,      friends,      enemies,      good 


courses,  "I  wonder  what  it's  all 
about"    courses,    good    ballgames. 

bad    ballgames,    good    night    !  ' ! 

ballgames,  old  student  union,  new 
student  union,  old  teachers,  new 
teachers;  and  so  on  until  late 
in  the  night. 

And  so  here  itls — the  twilight 

of  my  college  career.  You  know, 
you  never  appreciate  the  spring- 
time until  you  see  the  winter.

For  the  seventeenth  time  the 
old  doctor  was  making  his  way 

to  the  cabin  in  the  woods  where 
the  family  was  ready  for  another 
addition.  As  the  doctor  approach- 
ed the  house,  a  duck  crossed  his 
path.  The  doctor  come  up  sharp. 
then  said  to  himself: 

"Just  a  duck.  For  a  momenti 
thought  it  was  a  stork  with  his 
legs  worn  down." 


A  couple  who  liked  pets  ac- 
quired an  octupus  named  Elmer, 
a  winsome  creature  who  won 
them  over  quickly  with  his  warm 
personality.  What'a  more,  he  did 
the  housework  (using  8  mops) 
and  quickly  became  an  accom- 
plished, pianist,  ■ 

Since  he  loved  music  so,  the 
couple  at  Christmas  gifted  Elmer 
with  a  Scotch  bagpipe,  thinking 
he  could  ma.ster  the  pipes  easily. 
With  a  glad  cry.  Elmer  seized  It 
and  scurried  off  to  his  cellar  den. 

For  a  few  days,  the  couple 
waited  in  vain  to  hoar  rrtustc  in- 
dicating Elmer  had  mastered  the 
instrument:  Finally  the  husband 
called  down-stairs,  "Elmer  what's 
wrong?  We've  been  waiting  to 
hear  frbm  the  bngpipo." 

"It  ain't  no  use.  Elmer  called 
back  sadly.  "She  won't  say  noth- 
ing. All  week  long  I've  been  try- 
ing to  get  her  to  marry  mc."

mean  all  right,  but  he's  fair."

were  a  few  stragglers  caught  in  the  library  returning  late 
books,  and  the  office  staff  was  winding  up  the  year's  official 
business.  On  first,  the  bulletin  board  had  one  lone  notice  on 
it  ,  .  .  "GO  HOME!!"  He  wandered  over  to  the  typing  room 
and  carefully  looked  in.  He  was  not  quite  sifre  of  himself 
here,  for  this  was  where  all  of  those  horrible  stampedes  had 
started.  He  certainly  didn't  want  to  get  run  over'  .  .  . 

"Glad  that's  over,"  he  mumbled  absentmindedly  as  he 
slowly  made' his  way  down  the  road.  One  last  trip  to  check 
the  mail  and  he  would  be  through.  The  post  office  was  closed, 
but  he  could  see  that  his  relatives  had  forgotten  to  write 
again.  "Juat  when  I,  needed  that  check,  too,"  muttered  01' 
Buff. 

"Well,  that's  that.  Guess  I  might  as  well  be  on  my  way." 

He  paused  on  the  bridge  for  one,  last  look  at  his  nine- 
month  home,  and  choked  up  when  he  tried  to  say  goodbye. 
There  were  just  too  many  things  he  wanted  to  say,  and  he 
didn't  have  the  space  to  say  them  in.  "Well,"  he  finally  man- 
aged, "I  guess  I  can  sum  it  all  up  by  saying,  "Thanks,  God, 
for  Milligan." 

A  tear  or  two  was  lost  to  sight  in  the  waters  of  the  Buf- 
falo as  he  trotted  on  across  the  bridge  .  .  .  but  don't  be  sad, 
or  Buff,  for  it  isn't  goodbye  .  .  .  it's  just,  "See  you  next 
period."

it,  would  be  good  to  enter  sometime,  but  not  now,  later.  And 
as  each  of  us  go  our  way,  may  we  remember  that  the  fellow- 
ship enjoyed  here  was  possible  only  because  the  Spirit  of 
Christ  was  here,  and  if  we  want  to  get  the  fullest  enjoyment 
out  of  life  away  from  here,  then  Christ  should  go  with  us 
in  our  hearts. 

These  lines  by  J,  G.  Percival  seem  fitting  now  at  the 
end  of  the  year: 
'There  are 'moments  of  life  that  we  never  forget, 

Which  brighten,  and  brighten,  as  the  time  steals  away; 
They  give  a  new  charm  to  the  happiest  lot, 
And  they  shine  on  the  gloom  of  the  loneliest  day.'  "

STAGECRAFT 

The  Stagecraft  took  time  out 
from  their  work  and  had  a  skat- 
ing party.  I  think  a  few  of  them 
thought  skating  was  as  hard  as 
the  work  they  do.  After  they  all 
wore  themselves  out  skating. 
they  journeyed  to  Miss  Whites 
apartment  for  hamburgers  and 
for  the  election  of  officers.  Next 
year's  officers  are  president  Lo- 
rena Stofferan;  vice  president. 
Billie  Blankenship;  and  secretary 
and  treasurer,  Margaret  Butler. 

SPANISH  CLUB 

Here  is  a  club  that  wanted  to 
have  a  party  but  couldn't  find 
time  to  nave  it.  Everyone  must 
really  be  busy  if  they  don't  have 
time  for  another  partv.  Although 
the  Spanish  Club  dit^n't  have  a 
party,  they  met  and  elected  of- 
ficers for  ncKt  year.  The  follow- 
ing people  will  take  over  at  the 
beginning  of  school  next  year: 
president,  Hope  Irvin;  vice  presi- 
dent, Melissa-  McKinley;  secre- 
tary, Bertie  Watson;  and  treas- 
urer, Don  Miller, 

MINISTERIAL 
ASSOCIATION 

The  future  ministers  met  May 
3,  and  elected  their  officers  for 
1955-56.  President.  Glen  Barton;

work  planning  bigger  and  better 
things  for  the  club  for  next  year. 

A  social  meeting  has  been 
planned  for  May  30.  The  new  of- 
ficers are  in  charge  of  this  meet- 
ing. Plans  for  next  year  will  be 
discussed. 

The  club  wants  to  express 
their  thanks  to  Dick  Carpenter 
for  his  fine  leadership  in  the 
club  last  year. 

SOCIAL  SCIENCE  CLUB 

I  haven't  heard  too  much  about 
the  Social  Science  Club,  but, 
nevertheless,  they  have  been 
holding  regular  meetings.  At 
their  last  meeting.  May  21,  they 
elected  their  officers  for  the  com- 
ing year.  They  are  Jerrj'  Wag- 
ner, president;  Roberta  Dick,  vice 
president;  and  Pat  Rietzel.  secre- 
tarj-  and  treasurer. 

CHRISTIAN  SERVICE 
CLUB 

The  Christian  Service  Club  has 
been  slowing  down  a  little  after 
a  year  of  good  and  faithful  work. 
The  last  meeting  of  the  Club 
was  held  on  the  lawn  in  front 
of  Hardin. 
'  At  the  meeting  for  the  elec- 
tion of  officers  Bob  Walther  wai 
elected  president;  Andy  Ander- 
son, vice  president;  and  Vera 
Hamilton,  secretary'  and  treas- 
urer. 

BUFFALO  RAMBLERS 
The  Buffalo's  haven't  rambled 
too  much  this  year,  but  maybe 
next  year  they  will  get  off  to  a 
good  start.  At  the  last  meeting 
the  officers  were  elected.  BiQ 
Elunson  will  act  as  president; 
Ronald  Daugherty,  vice  presi- 
dent; and  Betty  McClure,  secre-

EDITORIAL  ETCHINGS  By  PHIL  Bradford 

(Reprinted  from  the  October  13.  1954  edition  of  the 
Milligan  Collego  STAMPEDE.) 
Long,  long  ago,  when  America  was  just  a  baby  and  the 

great  plains  were  still  plain,  there  lived  the  strongest  and 
ravest  of  all  buffaloes.      This  buffalo  had  an  immense  and 
powerful  body  with  eyes  like  two  balls  of  fire.    When  he 
moved  his  feet  the  very  earth  shook  beneath  him.       His 
Strength  surpassed  even  that  of  the  legendary  Babe,  of  Paul 
Bunyan  fame — although,  of  course,  this  buffalo  is  no  bull. 
This  buffalo  was  also  a  very  wlsa  animal,  and.  In  the 
course  of  the  pioneer  travel  westwardi  he  became  curious 
as  to  the  origin  of  these  strange  creatures  which  were  In- 
creasingly traveling  the  plains.       Being  young  and  full 
of  curiosity,  he  set  out  in  the  direction  from  which  these 
strange  creatures  seemed  to  be  coming.    Now  being  the 
wise  buffalo  that  he  was,  he  decided  thai  the  best  place 
for  h<m  to  go  would  be  in  that  direction  where  the  fewest 
creatures  were  coming  from,  since  that  would  logically 
be  the  best.   Finally  he  Started  "hoofing  It"  straight  East. 
Picking  up  the  queer -sounding  language  as  he  iwent,  he 
could  soon  converse  with  just  about  anyone. 
Being  so  wise  already,  and  growing  wiser  as  time  went 
on,  he  knew  that  he  could  not  roam  forever.    One  day  in  the 
Course  of  his  travels  he  happened  on  some  acreage  in  what 
"We  know  now  as  East  Tennessee,  and  is  supposed  to  have  ut- 
tered these  words:  "I'll  never  have  to  mill  again,"  from  which 
the  present  name  of  Milligan  is  derived.     Rushing  to  the 
proper  authorities,  he  was  granted  title  to  this  piece  of  land 
lind  soon  began  to  feel  quite  at  home. 

Because  he  was  so  wise,  he  naturally  saw  the  Ignor- 
'    ance  of  the  humans  around  him,  for  no  one  could  even 
approach  the  wisdom  of  this  ^sest  of  all  living  creatures. 
,    Finally  he  established  Milligan.  where  he  sought  In   a 
,  small  way  to  educate    those    humans    who    were   wise 
enough  to  want  to  learn.  , 

Now  being  the  large  and  powerful  buffalo  that  he  >vas, 
ihe  needed  daily  exercise  to  keep  his  immense  body  in  good 
condition.  At  first  he  did  this  by  himself,  but  after  a  time 
he  found  that  it  was  more  fun  romping  with  some  of  the 
humans  whom  he  taught.  After  bringing  the  games  down  to 
their  mental  level,  he  organized  them  into  teams  and  taught 
them  to  play  against  each  other.  As  time  went  on,  humans 
■went  away  from  Milligan  and  established  other  colleges,  and 
so  a  system  of  inter-collegiate  sports  was  brought  about. 
TiTiere  were  many  games  played  by  the  Milligan  Buffalo  and 
his  followers — basketball,  baSeball,  tennis,  track  and  swim- 
ming were  only  a  few,  and  sometimes  even  football  entered 
the  picture. 

Each  game  came  to  have  Its  own  particular  season, 
and  lo,  these  many  years  have  passed  vrith  the  Buffalo 
and  his  friends  still  going  strong.   They  don't  always  win, 
for  It  is  an  oft-taught  lesson  that  those  who  are  taught 
sometimes  excel  the  teacher,  but  they  are  always  to  be 
found  in  the  middle  of  things,  fighting  their  hearts  out 
for  the  Milligan  Buffalo— and  that's  no  bull'  either. 
To  some,  the  Milligan  Buffalo  will  never  grow  old,  to 
others  he  is  already  dead,  and,  to  still  others,  he  is  a  living 
symbol  of  all  they  believe,  growing  stronger  as  the  years 
pass.     But  it  is  certain  that  every  year  he  can  be  found  roam- 
ing his  old  grounds,  looking  for  competition  and  fighting  hard 
when  he  finds  it.    Scrmetimes  he's  over  at  Cheek,  sometimes 
on  the  tennis  courts  or  Anglin  Field,  but  always  in  the  hearts 
of  those  who  follow  him. 

How  will  he  do  this  year?  No  one  Is  certain,  not  even 
the  Milligan  Buffalo  himself,  although  his  best  Is  always 
the  goal.  How  will  you  do  this  year?  Thai's  not  certain 
either,  but  how  about  following  the  Milligan  Buffalo  and 
doing  It  his  way?  You'll  come  out  on  top.  If  only  in  your 
heart.

One  Wpy  Is  Best  Way 

There  are  more  automobiles  on  the  Milligan  campus  this 
year  than  ever  before;  there  are  more  students  than  in  pre- 
vious years. 

Put  thesie  together  and  you  could  have  a  dangerous  sit- 
uation. 

The  Milligan  College  campus  has  a  regular  school  zone 
speed  limit  of  15  miles  per  hour:  observe  it. 

The  every  day  rules  of  courtesy  and  respect  for  the 
rights  of  others  should  prevail  on  the  road  as  they  should 
anywhere  else;  observe  them  as  other  intelligent  people 
would. 

To  the  end  thkt  safety  should  take  precedence,  on  the 
Milligan  campus,  a  one-way  road  system  has  been  evolved 
to  better  circulate  the  cars  which  travel  the  school  area — 
Yours  included. 

Combine  a  dark  night,  a  narrow  road,  a  curve,  an  dtwo 
Cars  meeting  head  on  on  what  is  supposed  to  be  a  one-way 
road  .  .  .  your  roorfimate  might  have  a  dead  roommate. 

YOUH  Ilfo  is  precious  . . .  ALL  life  Is  jlireclous. 

Think  whon  you  aro  driving  and  you  will  Hvo  to  think 
and  drlvo  again.

MUlIgan  Faculty  Meots 

The  administration  of  Millig4n 
College  started  its  work  for  the 


More  Wood  To  The  Fire  Of  Welcome 

Who  has  welcomed  you  to  Milligan?  You  probably  have 
heard  from  Dean  Oakes,  Miss  Hale,  Omer  Hamlin,  Bill  Davis 
or  Margaret  Butler,  Dr.  Walker,  your  big  sister  or  big  brother, 
and  any  one  elSe  who  had  a  three-cent  stamp  and  your  ad- 
dress. This  rnay  seem  to  be  an  anti-climax  to  the  many 
words  that  have  been  written  to  tell  you  how  glad  we  are 
that  you  decided  to  come  and  join  us  here  at  Milligan,  but 
the  Student  Council  wishes  to  say  that  they  too  are  pleased 
that  your  path  lead  to  our  school.  We  do  not  plan  to  sit 
back  and  watch  you  get  started  as  students,  but  we  really 
desire  to  help  you  in  the  beginning^of  your  college  experience. 

To  attain  our  goal  in  assisting  you  we  have  worked  many 
hours  in  planning  a  program  for  just  you  freshmen.  We 
have  many  aims  in  the  program,  but  they  all  center  around 
you  and  your  new  career  at  Milligan  College,  Christian  life, 
which  is  our  primary  standard  at  Milligan,  includes  many 
things;  among  these  is  cooperation,  a  trait  which  we  hope 
will  develop  in  yourselves  as  days  pass.  Service  to  God 
and  our  fellowmen  is  a  characteristic  found  in  most  Milligan 
students;  we  will  try  to  help  you  serve  in  your  first  days  on

Freshman  Week  Theme  Is  SERVICE 

Many  times  in  li^  there  can  be  found  a  constructive  and 
a  destructive  way  of  doing  the  same  thing.  So  it  is  with  the 
integration  of  new  students  into  college  life. 

It  has  been  found  at  Milligan  College  that  hazing  is  de- 
structive, sometimes  both  physically  and  mentally.  In  some 
individuals,  this  type  of  "initiation"  will  inspire  a  feeling  of 
belonging,  of  comradeship  with. the  school  and  all  that  it 
stands  for;  but -in  others  it  will  provide  occasion  ifor  a  loss 
of  respect  for  the  school  and  the  people  in  it. 

This  year  the  Milligan  College  4^reshman  Week  is  based 
on  a  theme  of  service — of  service  to  surrounding  churches, 
the  communities  about  us,  and  to  the  school  itself.  This 
threefold  plan  of  service  is  a  positive,  constructive  way  of 
making  the  student  feel  at  home  in  the  family  which  is  Mil- 
ligan. It  will  help  to  manifest  the  true  purpose  of  the  col- 
lege— learning  to  serve  God  in  the  best  possible  way  through 
Christian  education  in  all  phases  of  life. 

The  idea  of  service,  first  to  God,  then  to  your  country 
and  others,  and  finally  to  yourself  is  a  familiar  one  and  might 
possibly  have  a  connection  here.  First  of  all;  you  will  be 
able  to  serve  God  through  service  to  the  churches.  Your 
country,  indirectly,  and  other  people,  more  directly,  will  be 
helped  through  services  in  the  c6himunit>-.  Finally,  you  will 
be  able  to  help  yourself  attain  greater  heights  and  more  op- 
portunities for  sen'ice  through  service  to  the  school,  for  Mil- 
ligan will  be  your  home  for  four  years,  and  you  will  be  a 
member  of  Milligan'College  all  of  your  life. 

And  through  it  all,  you  will  better  be  able  to  find  a  place 
for  yourself  and  your  ideals  among  the  ideals  which  make 
up  Milligan.

Concerning  Church 
Colleges — and   You 

By  LAKEN  WARNOCK 
(Heprinled   from    th«    Febru- 
sry  9.  1955  sdllion  of  the  Mil- 
Ugtm  college  STAMPEDE.) 

I'he  church  colleges  of  this  na- 
tion are  trying  to  impress  upon 
the  minds  of  their  studenta  that 
a  country  bke  ours  needs  more 
than  big  machines  run  by  little 
men.  At  a  time  when  we  need 
free  men  in  n  free  society,  when 
democracy  draws,  not  on  catch- 
words and  established  rules  and 
customs,  but  in  deep  and  strong 
beliefs  in  God  and  man  himself, 
there  is  a  definite  appreciation 
for  any  education  that  has  at  its 
heart  the  informing  power  of 
faith. 

A  church  college  holds  in  com- 
mon with  the  church  that  life 
was  not  a  mere  accident  in  time 
— that,  rather,  there  is  an  intel- 
ligence behind  the  world,  an  in- 
telligence whose  highest  quality 
is  love.  It  holds  that  there  was  a 
great  event  in  history  when  God 
was  revealed  in  Jesus  Christ,  and 
life  triumphed  over  death.  It 
holds  that  God  works  through 
history  and  men,  men  given  the 
creative  gift  of  freedom  and  the 
great  gift  of  mercy. 

These  beliefs  are  great  and 
magnificent.  They  are  the  cen- 
tral beliefs  which  no  man  or  in- 
stitution can  logically  hold  with-' 
out  placing  them  at  the>  center. 
A  church  college,  then,' is  a  trai- 
tor to  its  own  essence  if  it  does 
'not  place  these  beliefs  at  the  cen- 
ter of  all  its  functions.  So  it  is 
that  one  of  the  great  philosoph'ers 
of  the  day  has  said,  "Sectriar  edu- 
cation believes  that  life  is  secu- 
lar. Religious  education  believes 
that  life  is  sacred.  All  the  dif- 
ference is  there." 

Why  not  let  the  government 
support  the  colleges  with  the 
necessary  funds,  and  let  the 
churches  have  denominational 
houses?  Why  doesn't  the  church 
pull  out  of  education  and  stop 
spending  large  amounts  of  money 
that  do  not  produce  the  direct 
results  that  can  be  achieved 
through  other  church  activities? 
These  are  fair  questions.  They 
arfe  alarmingly  valid  if  the  church 
college  is  no  more  than  what  a 
lot  of  its  friends  think  it  is — a 
college  with  chapel  services^ 
rules,  and  some  required  courses 
in  Bible  and  religion  added  on. 

Chapel  services,  decent  stand- 
ards of  living,  arid  required  re- 
ligious study  are  definitely  valu- 
able features  of  a  church  college. 
But  they  alone  do  not  justify  the 
high  cost  of  the  churcR  being  in 
the  business  of  higher  education. 
One  can  have  chapel  mor^  cheap- 
ly than  that.  One  can  set  up  a 
Sunday  school  and  have  religious 
instruction  for  a  lot  less  money — 
certainly  without  setting  up  sci- 
entific laboratories,  collecting 
large  libraries,  and  building  a. 
group  of  acddemic  departments. 
If  chapel,  rules,  and  religious  in- 
struction were  ,all  a  church  col- 
lege was,  then  it  would  be.  in  the 
words  of  Dr.  Frank  Caldwell,  "a  . 
concept  of  addition  that  can  be 
devastating  when  applied  t6 
Christianity,  For  Christianity  is 
no  little  'plus'  added  on  to  secular 
life  and  thought.  It  is  no  thin 
icing  spread  over  the  outside  of 
a  black  cake  to  mbke  It  look 
white.  It  is  normative.  It  has  to 
do  with  the  essence  of  life  and 
the  whole  of  life."  A  church  col- 
lege Is  more  than  a,  pVogram 
grafted  on  to  itself.  It  Is  more 
than  a  few  random  hits  at  ethics 
and  religion,  It  Is  the  demonstra- 
tion that  Christianity  is  one  of 
the  live  options,  good  for  ovcr>-

HAHDIN  HALL  (above)  was  erected  in  1913  to  hoqse  the  ever- 
increasing  population  of  women  commg  to  Milligan  College.  Mr. 
Hardin  was  instrumental  in  roising  funds  for  the  1913  building 
program,  and  the  building  was  named  after  both  he  and  Mrs. 
.  Hardin  in  1922  after  his  death.  The  cafeteria  for  college  person-

THE  STUDENT  UNION  BUILDING  of  Milligan  College  (below) 
is  the  newest  building  on  the  Milligan  campus.  It  was  dedicated 
in  a  ceremony  on  November  17,  1954,  as  part  of  the  annual 
Founder's  Day  celebration.  Many  hours  of  student  labor  went  to 
make  this  one  of  the  finest  buildings  of  its  kind.  The  College 
Store  is  located  in  the  "Sub,"  and  there  are  recreation  and 
clothes  washing  facilities  in  the  basement.  The  building  is 
equipped  with  a  large  fireplace  on  both  floors,  and  the  rooms 
are  usfed  to  good  advantage  as  meeting  places  by  many  of  the 
clubs  and  organizations  at  Milligan.

R  AMBLINGS      ^enms  Has  H^  Courtesles- 
With  Jim  Crouch  Rundown  ott  Possible  Top  6- 

As  Milligan  comes  to  life  in  preparation  fqj  a  new  school 
year./there  will  be  niany  who  look  forward  with  eagerness 
to  the  athletic  activities  of  the  coming  seasons.  The  spirit  of 
the  Buffalo  will  be  represented  in  competition  with  other 
schools  on  the  basketball  floor,  the  baseball  diamond.'and  the 
tennis  court  Just  as  important  in  the  pdrt  they  play  will  be 
the  intramurals — football,  softball,  basketball,  and  others. 

What  is  there  about  sports  which  make  them  an  integral 
part  at  Milligan?  Is  an  athletic  program  such  as  ours  carried 
on -just  for  the  entertainment  of  the  spectators?  Do  athletes 
train  and  discipline  themselves  for  months  just  for  the  fun 
of  it?  There  are  other  means  of  entertainment.  There  are 
-easier  ways  of  having  fun.  Does  a  boy  play  just  for  the  sake 
of  his  health?  If  that's  the  case,  why  not  just  do  calisthenics 
for  an  hour  a  day  and  do  away  with  competitive  sports? 

There  is  the  answer  to  my  question.  It'^'  found  in  the 
competitive  aspect  of  the  sport.  For  you  see,  life  is  a  game. 
All  the  joys  and  sorrows,  happiness  and  defeats  found  in  the 
sports  World  will  be  met — just  on  a  larger  scale — in  the  game 
of  life.  If  I  may,  I'd  like  to  pass  on  a  thought  set  forth  by  Jack 
Kofoed,  columnist  and  feature  writer  for  the  Miami  Herald, 
in  his  book  THRILLS  IN  SPORTS.  "In  the  process  of  getting 
away  from  ourselves  .  i  .  uncouTlted  millions  'have  found  the 
supreme  stimulant  in  sport.  It  holds  the  thrill  of  the  battle- 
field .  .  ,  the  romance  of  the  stage  .  .  .  the  ambition,  joy  and 
sorrow  of  life  itself." 

The  job  in  life  is  not  to  get  ahead  of  those  about  you,  but 
ahead  of  yourself.  What  keeps  the  athlete  "hustling"  is  not 
to  beat  the  other  fellow,  but  to  beat  his  own  record.  In  every 
contest  there  must  be  a  loser.  We  should  play  to  win,  not 
to  beat,  - 

I'd  like  tp  close  this  "sermon"  with  a*familiar  poem. 
When  the  Great  Recorder  comes- 

To  write  against  my  name. 

He  writes  not  that  I  won  or  lost,     \ 

But  how  I  played  the  game. 

Although  tennis  is  primarily  a  spring  sport  at  Milligan, 
quite  often  a  match  or  two  is  scheduled  in  the  fall.  In  all 
probability,  according  to  Coach  Mynatt,  those  who  have  never 
witnessed  a  college  tennis  match  will  soon  have  an  oppor- 
tunity to  see  the  Buffs  take  on  ICing  College. 

Although  each  sport  has  its  courtesies,  those  of  tennis 
_are  more  pronounced  and  evident  than  those  of  othe^  sports. 
I  would  especially  urge  those  of  you  who  are  new  to  the  game 
to  learn  these  courtesies  and  observe  them  while  a  match  is 
in  progress.  \ 

Here  is  a  short  run-down  on  last  year's  top  six.  Only  one 
lelterman,  Charlie  Smythers,  was  lost  by  graduation,  so  the 
iennls  outlook  for  Milligan  this  year  is  very  good. 

Don  Williams — "Wormle"  is  the  team's  old  reliable.  Al- 
though small  in  size,  he's  long  in  spirit  and  is  as  Consistent 
as  they  come.  With  one  year's  experience  at  number  one 
position  he  should  be  hard  to  beat  this  year,  'although  it  will 
take  some  hustling  to  improve  on  last  year's  fine  12-4  record. 

Norman  Held — In  his  fi-rst  year  on  the  team.  Norm  suc- 
cessfully held  down  the  number  two  position  while  compiling 
a  won  lost  record  of  6-10.  With  the  valuable  experience  gain- 
ed he  should  easily  retain  his  position  and  improve  last  sea- 
son's record. 

Jerry  Hughes — "Silent"  Jerry  was  one  of  the  most  con- 
sistent players  on  last  year's  team.  Although  he  broke  no' 
records  and  set  no  houses  afire,  Jerfry,  in  winning  10  and 
losing  P  ":ns  the  only  other  player  to  have;  a  better  tha^  .500 
average. 

Bobby  Waites — Every  team  seems  to  have  a  hard  luck 
player  and  Bobby  was  "it"  last  season.  While  plagued  witha 
serious  j-'ury  (a  pulled  wisdom  tooth)  he  compiled  a  3-13 
record,  losing  several  very  close  matches.  Inconsistency  seem- 
ed to  be  Bob's  worst  problem  .and  whether  or  not  he  can 
overcome  that  will  be  a  big  factor  in  Milligan's  chances  for 
a  successful  season. 

•  Gordan  Ellis — If  one  has  trouble  keeping  up  with  the  faft 
game  of  tennis,  Flash  is  the  man  to  watch.  He's  famous  all 
over  East  Tennessee  for  his  slow  game.  Seriously,  Flash  is 
a  consistent  player  and  quite  often  his  slow  game  works  to 
his  advantage  as  tvhen  he  won  the  only  match  against  State 
6-0,  6-3.  As  a  freshman  last  year  he  won  3  while  losing  5, 

Randy  Osborne — Although  Randy  started  out  slowly  last 
year,  he  came  on  in  the  middle  of  the  season  to  knock  EDis 
out  of  sixtth  position  and  compile  a  3-6  record./  Randy  and 
Ellis  seemed  to  have  the  only  doubles  combination  last  year 
which  was  at  all  effective. 

All  in  all  Milligan'  .<;hnuld  have  a  good  season,  with  the 
big  question  looming  as  to  whether  we  can  irnprove  in  our 
doubles  matches.  If  so.  the  Buffs  can  easily  improve  on  last 
year's  5-11  record,

Concerning  Church 
Colleges — And  You 

(Continued  From  Pago  Three) 
part  of  Jife,    The   church    college 
is  not  a  PART  of  a  religious  pro- 
gram— it  IS  a  religious  program. 

The  justification  lies  in  the 
unity  of  its  work,  in  its  chance 
of  being  a  community  quietly 
demonstrating  that  the  mind  of 
the  world  is  the  mind  of  God,  and 
that  the  truth  of  theJA-orld  is  His 
truth  at  every  point. 

A  church  college  has  a  more 
cornmon  responsibility  to  treat 
fairly  all  sides  of  every  question. 
It  is  not  a  nervous  or  bigoted  ex- 
periment in  propaganda  or  a  plot 
against  intelligence.  Its  role  is 
not  to  change  or  depress  the 
known  facts.  Its  role  is,  rather,  to 
go  ,on  to  the  higher  step  of  think- 
ing about  the  known  facts  in 
terms  of  man's_  highest  and  deep- 
est questions,  in  the  light  of  all 
v/e  know  as  men,  and  in  the  light 
of  Christian  thought  and  revela- 
tion. Because  it  does  insist  that 
the  examination  of  things  be  thus 
full,  because  it  does  ask  that 
learning  be  concerned  ,  with  our 
highest  aspirations.  C  hrtstian 
education  may  well  turn  out  to 
be  the  truest  form  of  liberal  edu- 
cation. 

The  church  college  is  likened 
to  the  laboratory  process  that  is 
Christian  living.  It  suggests  that 
Christianity  is  not  to  be  under- 
stood merely  by  being  studied. 
Religion  is  caught  by  example 
and  must  be  lived  in  order  to  be 
comprehended.  The  Christian 
community  of  a  church  college — 
professors,  students,  deans,  trus- 
tees, president,  and  other  em- 
ployees— should  teach  in  many 
ways  beyond  the  classroom.  In 
such  a  community  a  student  may 
happily  come  to  see.  regardless 
of  the  mistakes  and  imperfections 
the  college  may  have,  that  Chris- 
tian living  is  more  than  just  a 
theor>-.  It  is  a  life.  It  arises,  in 
the  most ,  cultivated  and  in  the 
most  humble  person,  out  of  work 
well  done,  prayer,  love,  and  help 
of  one's  fellow  man,  out  of  the 
difficult  but  p<»s5lble  art  of  tr>-- 
ing  to  do  the  will  of  the  Father" 
in  Heaven.  And  at  the  heart  of 
such  an  effort  is  the  spirit  of 
Christ.

rhe  Men  of  Pardee  were  a 
tie  backward  about  putting 
the  annual  Haloween  party 
is  year — so  baclcward,  in  fact, 
rt  they  confused  everyone  else,

which  was  to  break  the  bal- 
)ns  tied  to  the  ankles  of  other 
ople  in  the  game,  looked  like 
cross  between  an  el^hant 
impede  and  an  Apache  war 
nee.  Just  about  everyone  came 
t  of  that  game  with  sore  feet 
d  tired  legs. 

Jim  Ivanoff  and  Jim  "Speedy"

the  evening  with  a  skit  de-

such  en  obvious  place.  You  must-take  your  opportunities  for 
service  wherever  and  whenever  they  come  to  you  in  life,  and 
use  your  God-given  talents  and  abilities  to  best  advantage. 

It  may  sound  facetious  to  say  that  if  you  can  read  and/or 
write,  the  STAMPEDE  needs  and  wants  you  .  .  .  but  it  is 
true.  No  one  person  can  accomplish  the  task  of  publishing  a 
newspaper — it  is  the  staff  which  is  the  backbone  of  such  an 
organization.  And  YOU  are  (or  can  be)  part  of  the  STAM- 
PEDE staff. 

Reporters,  typists,  proofreaders  —'  these  are  among  the

If  you  are  interested,  or  think  you  might  be  interested, 
drop  into  the  typing  room  on  the  first  floor  of  the  adminis- 
tration building  between  2:00  ani  4:00  P.M.  on  Mondav  aft-

Student  Council 
G)rner 

The  Student  Council  is  formed 
to  represent  you.  the  students,  in 
necessary  matters  on  the  campus. 
Our  work  inTolves  many  things, 
some  of  which  you  know  and 
others  which  may  go  unseen.  Our 
meetings  are  usually  interesting 
ii?ith  people  reporting  on  various 
,  topics  and  representatives  brlng- 
flig  before  the  councfl  different 
matters  which  need  considera- 
tion. Sometimes  situations  are 
out  of  our  jurisdiction,  but  we 
usually  cjm  ask.  recommend,  or 
State  our  opinion  on  different 
subjects  which  are  brought  to 
our  attention. 

At  one  of  our  first  meetings 
It  wns  suggested  that  a  hand 
rail  should  be  placed  on  the  out- 
Bide  steps  at  Cheek  Hall  because 
6f  the  dangerous  situation  which 
arises  when  these  steps  Ice  over 
In  the  winter  time.  Since  that 
^me  it  has  been  taken  up  by 
the  proper  authorities  and  a  hand 
rail  is  planned  for  Cheek  in  the 
near  future. 

Maybe  yoii  have  noticed  the 
addition  to  the  flag  pole — a  flag 
On  sunny  days.  The  Student 
Council  took  the  duty  of  raising 
and  lowering  the  flag.  Vera  Ham. 
ilton  and  Hope  Irvin  are  sup- 
posed to  raise  the  flag,  and  Mar- 
garet Butler  and  Julie  Green  are 
to  take  It  down  before  sun  down. 

Scott  Bartchy'has  been  work- 
ing very  diligently  on  a  ques- 
tion which  is  of  interest  to  a 
great  many  students  on  campus. 
The  question  is,  "Where  is  th 
washing  machine?"  Never  fear! 
Don't  lose  heart!  Don't  gi%'e  up 
tHfe  ship!  Soon  we'll  have  a  long- 
awaited  automatic  washing  ma- 
,  chine.  Many  things  have  held  up 
the  installation  of  the  prize,  but 
terminal  operations  are  almost 
in  view.  Soon  you  T,viU  be  able 
to  have  clean  clothes  with  ease, 
exF>edience,  and  inexpense. 

As  most  of  you  know,  the 
Council  is  in  charge  of  the  Wed- 
nesday assembly.  The  programs 
for  these  chapels  are  a  constant 


problem  for  the  members.  Cer- 
tain activities  have  to  be  taken 
cafe  of  in  that  period,  but  there 
are  the  rest  of  the  programs 
which  we  would  like  to  be  in 
your  distinct  favor.  We  would 
like  suggestions  aS  to  what  you 
would  like  to  have.  Maybe  you 
have  a  roommate  or  buddy  who 
has  a  talent  not  known  on  cam- 
pus. Some  of  the  students  have 
slides  of  interest  to  our  student 
body.  Let  your  r^resentatrves 
know  of  the  prtgrams  which  you 
desire  for  the  third  period  on 
Wednesday  each  week. 

As  representatives  we  want  to 
carry  out  faithfully  our  duties 
and  responsibilities  to  you.  Let 
us  hear  your  opinions  on  what  is 
going  on.  Don't  gripe  to  your 
friends  but  to  your  Student 
Council  representative.

continue  this  spirit '  throughout

The  ROVING 
REPORTER 

By  The  Roring  Reporter 

What  are  the  first  characteris- 
tics or  attributes  you  are  looking 
for  in  the  person  you'  will  desire 
,to  marry? 

With  this  question  I  betooTt  my" 
self  to  the  lunch  line  to  see  If  I 
would  be  able  to  find  any  brave 
souls  willing  to  have  such  an 
opinion  put  on  record.  I  found 
that  the  best  method  was  not  to 
tell  my  victims  that  this  was  for 
publication  until  they  had  answ- 
ered the  question.  This  did  get 
a  little  embarrassing,  I  must  ad- 
mit, when  it  came  to  asking  the 
boys.  Still.  I  had  a  lot  of  fun, 
and  I  hope  you  have  as  much 
fun  with  the  answers  as  I  did. 

Thrfma  Spear  said,  "Oh,"  (and 
you  know  Thelma's  "oh's"),  "he 
must  be  tall  and  handsome,  yes, 
and  dark  too." 

Margie  Anglin,  who  was  next 
in  line,  contributed,  '*He  must 
have  a  good  character, — and,  — 
and, — be  of  good  physical  build." 
CHmmm!) 

Archie  Paine  and  Jan  Shaffer 
seemed  to  be  in  cahoots  for  a 
while.  They  both  requested  that 
their  "futures"  be  Christians, 
considerate,  and  lovers*  of'  chil- 
dren. Archie  is  also  requesting 
that  her  man  like  to  sail  and  go 
to  horse  races.  Jan's  must  like 
to  travel.  Well.  I  left  that  group 
as  it  was  trying  to  decide  wheth- 
er Archie  wanted  a  "shrimper" 
or  a  "shrinp." 

Poor  Bruce  Trent.  He  just 
stopped  dead  when  I  asked  him. 
So  I  offered  some  suggestions. 
Must  she  be  pretty?  "No.^looks 
aren't  that  important."  Must  she 
have  a  good  personality?  "Ah. 
that's  it,  she  must  have  a  humor- 
ous personality,"  Now,  just  what 
is  a  humorous  personality?  He 
went  on  to  say  that  it  wasn't 
necessary  for  her  to  have  a  lot 
of  book  knowledge  — ■  general 
knowledge  was  sufficient. 

"Flash"  Gordon  insisted  he  was 
going  to  be  a  bachelor.  Bdt  he 
finally  did  say  that  he  preferred 
"one  of  those  '56  models  with  an 
automatic  transmission.'  " 

Marvin  Swiney  says  he  wants 
a  "Christian — and  all  the  other 
desirable  attributes." 

John  Worrell  wants  a  perfect- 
ly abnormal  girl.  She  must  have 
two  eyes,  two  ears,  one  nose,  etc., 
I  think  this  boy  is  hurting  for  he 
also  requests  that  she  be  living. 

Jack  Dixon,  the  true  Casanova, 
almost  got  scared.  In  fact,  he 
wasn't  sure  he  could  answer  it 
all  by  his  little  self,  so  he  called 
on  John  Vicars  to  help.  John  was 
a  big  help.  ^He  hinted  that  Jack 
hkes  athletics,  preferably  fishers. 
Or  was  that  just  one  fisher? 

John  Vicars  isn't  choosy.  He 
just  prefers  a  Virginia  girl.  What 
was  that  Jack?  Did  you  say 
something  about  Hillsville?  Why 
John,    you're  blushing, 

All  for  now,  but  you  know,  I 
think  John  has  something  there. 
Virginia  does  seems  to  be  a  pret- 
ty nice  state.

groans    are    nothing    more    than 
exercises      which      Miss      '^'hite 
diligently  Gives  the  choir. 

The  musical  programs  present- 
ed by  the  Milligan '  Choir  are 
centered  around  the  religious 
life  of  Milligan.  Wherever  we 
go,  whatever  we  do,  no  matter  if 
our  message  be  in  speech  or  song, 
it  is  the  Milligan  tradition  to 
portray  to  the  world  that  "Chris- 
tian Education  Is  the  Hope  of 
the  World."  In  no  organization 
on  the  campus  are  the  religious 
ideals  of  or  college  more  vividly 
revealed  as  they  are  than  in  the 
presentations  of  our  choir.

lETCimiNejf 

By  PHIL  BRADFORD 


What  do  you  do  when  your  plans  have  fallen  through  and  life 
doesn't  seem  to  be  worth  living  anymore?  What  happens  to  you  , 
when  your  responsibilities  become  so  heavy  on  your  shoulders  that 
you  try  to  laugh  them  off,  sleep  them  off.  or  do  almost  anything  to 
get  rid  of  them?  What  do  you  do  when  the  things  around  you  seem 
to  bear  down  on  your  mind  and  you  can't  find  a  way  out?  What 
do  you  do  when  you  have  been  broken  do_wTi  by  the  storms  of  life 
and  had  your  face  ground  into  the  dirt  of  despair? 

Perhaps  this  is  figurative  language,  but  the  problems  described 
are  just  as  real  as  the  head  which  you  have  at  the  end  of  your  neck. 
They  are  problems  that  all  of  us  have  to  face  at  one  time  or  another, 
for  we  are  only  human  and  we  sometimes  ^et  lost  in  the  com- 
plexities of  life. 

The  way  in  which  a  persbn  reacts  to  situations  such  as  these 
is  very  indicative  of  that  (arson's  real  character.  Almost  anyone 
can  be  happy  when  things  are  going  his  way.  but  it  takes  strength 
to  be'  content  in  the  face  of  adversity.  One  person  might  try  the 
route  of  escape,  while  another  might  dig  in  and  do  his  best  while 
facing  his  troubles.  The  weak  individual  will  bury  his  mind  in  a 
book,  a  show,  or  countless  other  things  which  would  take  his  mind 
away  from  the  irrimediate  circumstances  of  his  life.  But  the  person 
who  has  the  strength  of  character  to  face  life  will  come  to  grips 
with  his  problem  and  attempt  to  solve  it  to  the  best  of  his  ability. 

How  do  these  situations  arise  in  the  first  place?  Many  times 
we  forget  bow  to  use  the  word  "no."  a9d  the  first  thing  we  know 
we  have  so  many  things  to  do  that  we  can't  do  any  of  them  right. 
Then  we  have  two  alternatives — we  can  leave  things  the  way  they 
are,  fall  behind  in  our  studies,  fail  to  carry  out  responsibilities,  and 
find  our  lives  in  a  mess;  or  we  can  choose  those  of  our  activities 
which  will  be  most  important  to  us  in  the  building  of  our  Uves  and 
summon  sufficient  intestinal  fortitude  ("guts"  to  the  less  polite)  to 
dispose  of  responsibility  in  those  activities  which  are  merely  "time- 
takers". 

"The  best-laid  plans  of  mice  and  men  ofttimes  go  astray."  Now 
this  might  not  be  so  hard  on  the  mice,  but  because  human  beinga 
are  endowed  with  intelligence  and  the  ability  to  think,  things  like 
this  make  them  worry.  When  a  suggfestiqn.  which  you  thought  waa 
absolutely  marvelous  isn't  adopled.  plans  for  a  date  fall  through,  or 
a  pet  idea  of  yours  just  doesn't  seem  to  work,  don't  follow  the 
^mouse  into  his  small  comer  of  the  world  .  .  .  this  would  only. make 
you  seem  all  too  small  to  those  about  you.  Instead,  take  from  this 
the  lesson  that,  after  all,  you  are  only  one  of  the  "important"  peo. 
pie  on  this  campus,  and  the  ideas  and  plans  of  others  are  just  as 
important  as  yours 

What's  that  you  say?  All  t^is  is  fine,  but  what  can  you  do  when 
life  becomes  burdensome?  The  best  advice  that  I  have  had  is  to 
take  a  walk,  to  play  a  game  of  tennis,  to  do  somethingto  relieve 
your  mind  of  the  tension  that  is  there  .  .  .  not  to  escape  from  life, 
but  to  give  you  the  strength  to  Tace'iae.  Trying' to  tackle  ^prob- 
lem with  your  mind  full  of  other  things  won't  do  you  a  bit  of  good, 
so  try  a  change  of  pace  in  order, to  renew  your  mind  and  your  spirit 
for  the  work  that  lies  ahead.  Go  dou-n  the  hall  and- talk  to  some- 
body'else  for  a  while  .  .  .  find  out  what's  bothering  them,  for  every- 
one has  problems.  You'll  be  ashamed  that  you  ever  worried  about 
your  own,  for  the>'  now  seem  amall  and  insignificant  beside  the 
WOTxies  of  your  neighbor. 

Finally,  make  tHe  best  of  whatever  happens  to  you,  and  this 
will  help  to  make  the  best  of  you.

From  Cheek  Hall  I've  learned  that  the  latest  couple  is  Glen

It  seems  that  the  most  popular  indoor  sport  at  Cheek  is  room-

Here  we  are  again  and  over  two  weeks  of  basketball  practice 
have  gone  by  already.  Yes,  that's  what  I  said — basketball.  And  H 
I  stay  around  here  very  long  that's  all  you'll  hear  until  March — 
basketball,  basketball,  and  more  basketball. 

The  prospects  this  year,  in  my  humble  opinion,  are  very  good," 
and  Milligan  should  have  her  first  winning  team  in  years.  (There  I 
go  out  on  a  limb  already.)  Of  course  the  first  few  practice  sessions 
have  been  rugged  and  pretty  raw  in  some  spots,  but  in  another 
week  or  so  the  team  should  be  shaping  up  very  well.  Coach  wasted 
no  time  this  year,  and  before  the  first  week  was  out  had  cut  the 
squad  down  to  a  good  working  number.  Here  are  the  returning  let- 
termen:  Barton,  Covell,  Hall.  Williams,  Held,  Aldridge,  Gaslln,' 
Greenwell,  and  yours  truly.  The  new  boys  who  will  definitely 
strengthen  the  club  this  year  are  Harris,  Ritchie,  Creamer,  Size- 
more,  and  Chambers. 

In  just  a  little  over  two  weeks-you  girls  will  be  wondering  who 
those  big.  handsome  he-men  are  on  the  campus.  For  your  informa- 
tion, those  big,  handsome  he-men  will  be  from  a  school  known  as 
Bethel  at  the  other  end' of  the  state.  And  you  can  take  my  word 
for  it.  they  won't  be  here  on  a  picnic.  Their  sole  purpose  will  be 
to  dump  MiUi^an  as  quickly  as  possible  and  return  home.  If  you 
still  don't  get  the  picture.  Bethel  defeated  East  Tennessee  State  in" 
the  V.  Si  A.  C.  tournament  last  year  by  about  fifteen  points.  Last 
November  the  Buffs  traveled  to  Bethel  and  out-hustled 'their  rangy 
opponents  all  the  way.  But,  you  know  in  this  game  one  has  to  out 
score  the  other  felIo\VL  also  and  in  that  department  Milligan  failed 
miserably,  But.  unless  I  miss  my  guess,  things  will  be  different  this 
year.  How  about  coming  out  on  the  limb  with  me  and  we'll  both 
do  a  little  predicting.  When  those  boys  go  home  they'll  be  in  a  hur- 
ry, all  right,  but  they'll  know  that  they've  been  up  against  a  ball 
team. 

Official  congratulations  (?)  are  in  order  for  two  team  members 
who  fell  by  the  wayside  during  the  summer.  The  old  married  men 
are  Glen  Barton,  who  heard  his  doom  pronounced  on  June  17,  and 
Bud  GasIin,iwho  received  his  sentence  on  September  9. 

Look's  like  Virginia  isn't  going  to  let  any  other  states  win  the 
intramural  football  championship.  Congratulations,  boys,  but  look 
out!  A  Yankee  team  will  win  one  of  these  years. 

The  intramural  basketball  league  this  year  was  the  best  in  my 
experience  at  Milligan.  The  squads  had  more  depth  and  ability 
than  formerly  and  any  one  of  the  top  three  teams  could  have  won 
the  tournament.  This  is  especially  noticeable  when  one  realizes 
that  the  winning  team  lost  two  games  and  the  Hillbillies  lost  only 
one  game  and  didn't  even  get  to  the  finals.  Congratulations  and  a 
hearty  well  done  to  everyone  who  participated.

LOST  HOPWOOD  PAPERS  FOUND 

There  has  been  great  excitement  in  the  Library  for  the 
past  few  days  over  the  location  of  the  lost  Hopwood  letters 
and  records.  It  will  take  some  time  for  a  complete  inventory 
to  be  made.  The  1876  financial  record  book  of  Josephus  Hop- 
wood  soon  after  his  arrival  to  the  Buffalo  Male  and  Female 
Institute,  his  various  registers  of  college  patrons,  letters  from 
that  early  date,  both  business  and  personal  pictures,  and 
many  other  items  were  located  by  our  librarian  John  W. 
Neth,  Jr.  when  he  was  invited  by  the  Maintenance  Foreman, 
Mr.  Arnold  Milam  to  inspect  some  old  books  and  papers 
which  were  uncovered  in  the  corner  of  the  garages  near  the 
Post  Office.  More  detailed  information  on  this  "Find"  will 
be  published  in  the  next  issue.

but  there  was  no  bridge  where 
she  insisted  upon  crossing.  No 
sooner  had  the  look  of  distress 
appeared  on  her  face  than  three 
boys  leaped  into  the  chilly  wa- 
ter to  provide  a  bridge  for  the 
girl.  So  you  see.  the  Men  or  Par- 
dee are  striving  day  by  day  to 
prove  that  chivalry  is  not  dead 
at  Milligan,  just  twisted  and  dis- 
torted   beyond    recognition. 

The  Men  of  Pardee  aren't  with- 
out their  sense  of  humor,  either. 
Many  of  the  Pardee  doors  are 
individualized  by-  their  owners 
with  suitable  names  and  half- 
witticisms.  On  Bob  and  Andy's 
door,  for  example,  there  is  the 
following;  "Greek  is  a  wide- 
spread language,  as  any  man  can 
see;  It  killed  off  all  the  Greeks, 
and  now  it's  killing  me!!  An- 
other one  on  Gene  Garllchs  and 
Jim  Hall's  door  reads,  "Shhh!

study!"

Milligan    Nehnen 
Drop    Two    Matches 
To   Stale   College 

The  Buff  netmen  to  date  have 
lost  two  fall  matches  to  ETSC. 
both  by  the  identical  score  of 
3-6,  but  even  in  defeat  have 
shov/n  improvement  and  have 
given  indication  that  brighter 
days  are  ahead  on  the  Milligan 
courts.  "Wormie"  Williams  has 
remained  at  the  top  of  the  list 
and  as  number  one  man  has 
dumped  his  opponent  both  times. 
Bob  Waites  at  number  four  posi- 
tion has  shown  tremendous  im- 
provement over  last  year  and 
has  won  both  -  of  his  matches. 
Norm  Held  and  Jerry  Hughes 
have  teamed  up  to  provide  the 
Buffs  with  their  only  effective 
doubres  combination  to  date. 
Norm  and  Jerry  have  also  won 
both  of  their  matches. 


Pardee  Is  6n  the  lookout  for  a 
way  to  revenge  himself  upon 
Mamoru.  It  seems  that  he  has 
mastered  the  fine  art  of  short- 
sheeting.  Better  watch  out, 
Mamoru  i 

Congratulations  are  in  order 
for  ground  floor  man  Dave  An- 
drews. Just  one  word  from  the 
Pardee  Chapter  of  the  Socred 
Order  of  Batoholorhood:  "You 
should  have  stayed  away  when 
you  had  the  chance.  Dave." 

A  woi-d  to  all  those  who  ven-

For  the  third  straight  year 
Virginia  walked  off  with  the  In- 
tramural football  honors  by 
compiling  a  record  of  three  wins. 
no  losses,  and  three  ties.  With 
captain  Wormie  Williams  call- 
ing the  signals  the^  boys  from 
Virginia,  aided  by  those  from 
Pennsylvania,  defeated  each 
team  once  and  tied  each  team 
once  and  by  so  doing  upset 
everyone's  dope  bucket.

place  and  had  they  succeeded  in

Intramural   Baoketball 

The  "Gallopin'  Ghosts,"  cap- 
tained by  Jack  Gardner,  took  an 
early  lead  and  led  all  the  way 
against  the  Whiz  Kids  on  Tues- 
day, October  18.  to  win  65-43 
and  cop  the  Intramural  Basket- 
ball Championship.  With  Ald- 
ridge ^  rebounding  and  Sizcmore 
pacing  the  fast  break,  the  Ghosts 
steadily  pulled  away  from  the 
game,  but  outmanncd  Whiz 
Kids.  Aldridge  with  22.  Crouch 
with  15.  and  Menear  with  12.  led 
the  Ghosts'  scoring,  while  the 
only  effective  Whiz  Kid  was 
Greenwell  with  21. 

The  third  ranked  Ghost  gain- 
ed the  finals  by  trouncing  the 
Jets  61-20  and  upsetting  the  top 
ranked,  previously  unbeaten 
Hillbillies  48-47:  The  semi-final- 
game  was  a  real  thriller  with 
Crouch  scaring  two  field  goals 
and  Curtis  dropping  in  two  free 
throws  in  the  last  sixty  seconds 
to  climax  an  uphill  battle.  Ald- 
ridge again  led  the  Ghosts  v.*ith 
17  points. 


The  Whiz  Kids  reached  the 
finals  by  beating  the  Wildcats 
43-37  with  Gaslin  and  Green- 
well scoring  17  and  12  points  re- 
spectively.

you  know  of  such? 

THE  MILLIGAN  ALUMNUS 
of  1928-1929  to  ???  was  super- 
seded by  THE  BUFFALO 
RANGE  which  sent  news  of  the 
college  and  alumni  to  the  Mil- 
ligan Family.  This  seems-to  have 
ceased  with  the  Navy  V-12  era. 
However,  we  have  copies  of  an- 
other issue,  Fall,  1947,  which  was 
published^  after  the  war.  It  has 
now  been  replaced  by  THE 
MILL-AGENDA,  started  in  1950 
and  being  published  currently. 

Have  you  heard  of  these 
papers?  What  about  extra 
copies?  We  would  like  to  com- 
plete our  "Library  files.  This 
would  be  an  *  era  of  service  to 
Milligan  College.  Perhaps  your

tended Milligan  in  years  past  Do 
they  have  old  papers,  pictures, 
and  college  items  that  could  bo

Freshman  Class  To  Preserve  Hopwood 
Stump  As  Class  Project;  Book  Covers, 
Car  Washing  Include  Other  Activities 

By  GENE  GARLICHS 

In  an  early  meeting  of  the  new  Freshman  class  the  sub- 
ject of  a  class  project  was  discussed.  Many  ideas  of  various 
nature  were  brought  before  the  class.  All  suggestions  com- 
ing before  the  group  for  discussion  were  taken  up  and  the 
subjects  were  soon  narrowed  to  one.  That  suggestion  was  to 
preserve  the  memorable  Hopwood  Stump. 

All  types  of  questions  were  asked  about  how  the  class 
would  achieve  this  and  why  the  project  was  to  be  under- 
taken. 

Reasons  for  preserving  the  stump  were  numerous.  It  is 
an  important  factor  in  the  long  and  interesting  history  of 
our  own  MilUgan  College.  People  know  all  about  the  story  of 
how  the  tree  came  into  being  when  Mrs.  Hopwood  struck 
her  riding  stick  into  the  ground  as  she  and  her  husband, 
Josephus,  looked  over  the  present  campus. 

The  tree  grew  and  gave  a  beautiful  look  to  the  campus 
and  shade  to  all  who  passed  by.  As  the  years  passed,  the  tree 
soon  (£ed,  but  the  stump  was  Jeft  as  a  reminder  of  the  beau- 
tiful^hade  tree.  At  the  present  time  the  stump  is  in  bad 
shape,  for  it  is  rotting  away  at  the  top  and  especially  un- 
derground. 

If  something  is  not  done  soon,  one  of  the  great  tradi- 
tional landmarks  of  Milligan  will  be  gone. 

The  Freshman  class  does  not  want  to  see  this  happen, 
so  they  thought  that  their  project  should  be  to  stop  this 
from  taking  place.  Tradition  plays  a  great  part  in  the  life 
of  Milligan,  therefore  the  "Hopwood  Stump"  has  found  its 
own  place  with  our  traditions. 

The,  top  of  the  stump  will  be  cut  off  by  about  two  feet. 
This  wood  will  be  cut  and  made  into  miniature  gavels  to  be 
sold  to  alumni  or  any  one  else  who  would  like  a  gavel  as  a 
keepsake  of  their  Milligan  College.  The -proceeds  received 
from  the  sale  of  these  gavels  will  help  pay  for  the  expense 
of  preserving  the  tree. 

The  bottom  will  be  cut  out  and  cemented  to  prevent 
further  damage  being  done.  After  this  is  done,  a  thick  glass 
case  will  be  set  over  the  stump  and  a  plaque  will  be  put  on 
the  case  telling  the  history  of  the  tree  stump. 

This  task  is  to  be  done  by  the  Freshman  class  of  1956 
so  that  fuutre  students  and  returning  alumni  will  still  be 
able  to  view  the  remains  of  a  great  Milligan  tradition  .  .  .

CAR  WASHING  BIG  SUCCESS  .  .  ■ 

At  the  beginning  of  this  school  year  during  Freshman 
Week,  some  of  the  Freshmen  got  the  idea  of  washing  cars 
for  points.  After  seeing  the  big  success  this  venture  turned 
out  to  be,  it  was  decided  by  the  whole  class  to  continue  with 
the  car  washing  for  a  nominal  fee  of  $1.00. 

The  car-washing  time  on  the  first  day  was  quickly  filled, 
for  there  were  many  cars  to  be  washed.  The  small  group  of 
diligent  workers  started  at  10  o'clock  in  the  morning  and 
finished  at  2:30  in  the  afternoon. 

On  the  following  Saturday,  cars  and  car  washers  again 


THEROVING 
REPORTER 

Everyone  knows  that  there 
are  no  people  quite  so  wise  as 
upper  classmen.  After  all.  they 
have  been  around  for  at  least  a 
year  now  and  they  know  the 
ropes.  If  you  don't  believe  them, 
Just  ask  them.  Which,  of  course, 
I  did. 

"What  advice  would  you  like 
to  give  the  Freshman  from  your 
years  of  experience  -in  college?" 
were  my  exact  words  and  here 
are  the  answers.  Gather  around, 
Freshman,  and  read: 

Ronald  Dougherty  said:  'Tell 
all  the  Freshman,  boys  not  to 
get  involved  with  one  special 
girl.  It's  miich  better  to  play  the 
field."  Now,  Bertie,  is  that  the 
way  you  hear  it? 

Along  this  same  line  we  have 
Bob  Walther  contributing,  "As 
President  of  the  Milligan  Bache- 
lor Club  I  say — stay  away  from 
women."  There  have  been  ru- 
mors that  he  is  thinking  of  ab- 
dicating this  thankless  honor. 
Maybe  we'd  better  watch  him. 
He  also  said,  "Be  very  diligent 
with  two  hours  preparation."  I 
forgot  what  he  suggested  you 
should  prepare  for, 

Marylin  Rozell  offers  this, 
"Have  fun  when  you're  a  Fresh- 
man because  it  gets  harder  every 
year."  And  all  the  people  said, 
"Amen." 

When  things  really  get  rough 
remember  the  following  sage 
advice  from  Jim  Hamilton.  "No 
matter  what  happens,  don't  get 
shook — it  ain't  gonna  do  no 
good." 

Roxy  Henderson  has  a  varied 
bit  of  advice.  First  she  said, 
"Don't  let  your  studies  interfere 
with  your  college  education." 
Then  a  couple  days  later  she 
came  back  and  asked  me  to  add, 
"Always  keep  Christ  as  the  cen- 
ter of  your  life."  Add  those  two 
together  and  you'll  have  quite 
a  philosophy. 

Dave  Patterson  said  to  be 
sure  and  tell  you,  "To  quit  now 
or  forever  hold  your  peace." 

Which  is  exactly  what  I'm  go- 
ing to  do.  So  long.

valuable      facts      were      brought

It  is  evident  that  the  Students

evidence  enough  of  the  interest

Hopwood  Papers  Throw  Light 
On  Hopwood  And  Early  Life 
At  Milligan  College 

By  JOHN  W.  NETH,  JR.,  Librarian 

Josephus  Hopwood  died  January  29,  1935,  aged  91  years, 
9  months  and  one  day.  He  was  buried  in  Happy  Valley 
Cemetery  on  February  1,  1935.  The  principle  cause  of  his 
death  was  listed  as  "cerebral  hemorrage  and  paralysis"  with 
the  contributing  causes  being  arterio  selerosis  and  infirmi- 
ties of  extreme  old  age."  This  information  is  found  on  the 
certificate  of  his  death  found  among  his  papers  and  per- 
sonal letters  located  recently  by  Mr.  Neth,  the  college  li- 
brarian. 

At  the  time  of  the  death  of  the  founder  of  Milligan  Col- 
lege, these  records  were  apparently  transferred  "^to  the  col- 
lege for  storage  and  future  reference.  No  record  of  their  con- 
tent had  been  made,  and  as  years  passed  the  huge  boxes  were 
moved  about  until,  in  the  memory  of  those  present  at  the 
college,  they  were  lost.  Many  thought  that  this  material  had 
been  destroyed. 

A  few  months  ago  the  garages  near  the  Post  Office  build- 
ing were  being  remodeled  for  use  as  a  work  shop  and  ware- 
house. Mr.  Milan,  the  superintendent  of  buildings  and 
grounds,  invited  my  attention  to  some  old  papers  and  books 
located  in  a  corner  under  other  stored  material.  He  had  noted 
the  name  of  Josephus  Hopwood  on  a  letfer-  Immediately  on 
investigation,  I  had  the  boxes  of  material  moved  into  the  li- 
brary so  that  further  destruction  could  be  halted.  The  mice, 
rats,  and  silverfish  had  taken  a  dreadful  toll.  Dampness  had 
added  to  deterioration.  A  sorting  and  repacking  of  the  ma- 
terial into  small  cardboard  cartons  resulted  in  13  cartons  be- 
ing filled  with  letters  and  papers  dating  as  far  back  as  1868. 
Some  are  evidently  letters  exchanged  between  Josephus  Hop- 
wood  and  Sarah  Eleanor  La  Rue.  prior  to  their  marriage 
which  took  place  on  August  19,  1874.  The  letters  and  papers 
cover  the  period  of  most  of  his  public  life,  and  when  studied 
carefully  should  reveal  much  of  the  man  and  his  65  years  of 
active  work  in  the  field  of  education. 

Two  of  his  Honorary  degrees  were  found,  the  Master  of 
Arts  conferred  by  Abingdon  College  in  the  year  1883.  and 
the  Doctor  of  L^ws  by  Transylvania  -^University  in  1930.  Al- 
though the  degree  was  not  found,  the  first  commencement 
program  for  Atlantic  Christian  College,  Wilson.  North  Caro- 
lina, lists  Josephus  Hopwood  as  the  candidate  for  an  Honor- 
ary Doctor  of  Laws  degree  in  1903. 

Since  he  was  known  as  Doctor  Hopwood  in  the  earlier 
years  of  the  century,  we  assume  that  he  received  this  degree. 
His  familiar  black  bow  tie  was  pressed  neatly  among  the 
papers  and  in  a  good  state  of  preservationv 

College  papers  published  as  early  as  1883  were  found.  The 
Milligan  Mentor,  Vol  I.  No.  4,  October  1883.  J.  Hopwood.  editor  and 
publisher,  Cave  Spring,  Tennessee  was  the  earliest.  It  was  to  be  a 
monthly  to  cost  $40  per  year.  "It  is  devoted  to  education,  temt^r- 
ance  and  the  truth  of  any  other  subject  where  its  voice  will  do  good.. 
It  e\'idently  began  with  Milligan  College.  A  great  number  of  subse- 
quent papers  were  found,  such  as  the  Milligan  U^ht.  The  Milligan 
Era,  and  The  Light.  A  number  of  cbpies  of  The  Light  published  at 
Virginia  Christian  College,  now  Lynchburg  College,  for  the  years 
1904  thru  1910  were  found.  The  story  of  Dr.  Hopwoods'  departure 
from  Milligan  College  in  1903  and  the  founding  of  Virginia  Chris- 
tian College  will  be  better  understood.  Some  early  term  papers  of 
Ethics  Class  of  1900,  including  that  of  Landon  C.  Bell,  are  preser\'ed 
in  excellent  condition. 

Among  the  most  notable  records  found  were  such  items  as  the 
contract  agreement  between  Josephus  Hopwood  and  C.  D.  M.  Show- 
waiter  dated  January  25,  1894.  in  which  a  six-year  agreement  wag 
made  to  keep  the  college  in  active  operation.  Mr.  Hopwood  was  to 
be  president  with  certain  rights,  and  Showwalter  was  given  a  first 
lein  mortgage -deed  on  all  the  college  property.  J,  L.  English  was  also 
in  the  contract  with  Mr.  Showalter.  Perhaps  the  most  valuable  his- 
torical item  is  the  record  book  of  the  financial  transactions  of  Jo- 
sephus Hopwood  relative  to  the  Buffalo  Male  and  Female  Institute 
The  records  date  from  September  7.  1876.  and  are  with  such  men  as 
Joshua  Williams,  who  gave  the  land  for  both  church  and  college;  P. 
P.  Williams.  George  Williams.  Anthony  Ferguson,  Joshua  Patton, 
John  Anderson,  William  Smalling.  J.  C.  Hardin,  and  many  others. 
This  record  book  is  in  comparatively  good  condition.  A  number  of 
small  notebooks  filled. with  names  and  addresses  date  back  to  1882. 
'These  were  probably  friends,  donors,  or  prospects.  Last  but  not 
least  there  were  a  number  of  pictures,  many  of  which  need  to  be 
identified.  About  75  copies  of  Hopwoods  autobiographj-.  Journey 
Through  the  Years,  also  came  to  light. 

Much  of  the  material  had  been  destroyed  by  mice  rats  and  silver 
fish.  An  electric  sweeper  was  used  to  remove  the  loose  dirt,  and 
insect  powder  was  used  to  kill  the  silverfish.  All  this  is  now  stored 
in  the  library  awaiting  time  and  space  for  closer  inspecton. 

An  exhibit  of  some  of  this  material  will  be  available  for  your 
inspection  on  Founder's  Day.  Friday,  November  25,  1955.

NO  "BREATHERS" 
PRACTICE   GAMES   ... 

With  Jim  Crouch         BTEAM  wins  .  .  . 

As  you  read  this  column  you  are.  no  doubt,  already  aware  of 
the  outcome  of  at  leest  MiUigan's  first  two  ball  games.  But  as  I 
write  to  meet  this  deadline  the  first  game  with  Bethel  is  still  a 
fi.w  days  away  and  obviously  I  can  make  no  comments  on  its  out- 
Liitne  at  this  time.  I  can_  mention,  though,  that  Bethel's  starling 
five  averages  almost  6-4.  In  fact,  our  center  is  shorter  than  one 
I  f  their  guards.  Don't  misunderstand  though,  I'm  not  making  ex- 
luses.  The  Buffs  usually  make  up  in  spirit  what  they  lack  in 
lu-ight.  Besides,  if  we  start  maJung  excuses  about  being  on  the 
ihort  end  of  the  deal  so  early  jn  the  season,  that's  all  we'll  do  all 
year  t>ecause  very  seldom  will  Milligan  take  the  floor  against  a 
smaller  team. 

Scanning  on  over  the  schedule,  it  looks  like  some  good  games 
are  in  store  for  the  home  crowd  before  Christmas — Union,  Berea, 
King,  and  LMU.  Come  to  think  of  it,  the  away  games — King  and 
Maryville — are  close  enough  to  tempt  some  of  the  more  loyal  fans. 
You  know,  one  thing  about  Milligan's  schedule  is  that  we  have  no 
games  that  one  could  call  breathers.  Oh,  I  know  that  some  look 
upon  King  as  an  easy  game,  but  only  too  vivid  in  my  memory  is 
our  slim,  one-point  victory  on  our  home  floor  last  year  over  that 
"breather,"  If  I  remember  correctly  {with  the  aid  of  my  scrap- 
book).  Held  made  a  bank  shot  as  the  game  ended  to  give  us  the 
victory.  I'he  only  thing  I  have  to  say  is  that  it  is  a  good  thing  that 
it  was  an  "easy"  game. 

Since  the  last  issue  of  the  STAMPEDE,  Bill  Gouge  has  come 
out  for  the  squad.  Bill,  a  two-year  lettcrman,  is  rapidly  working 
into,  shape  with  the  rest  of  the  team  and  will  probably  see  quite  a 
bit  of  action  before  Christmas. 

_  The  team  had  a  chance  to  work  out  some  of  their  first  game 
nervousness  the  other  day  against  Paty  Lumber  Company,  Of 
course  it  was  rugged  and  pretty  wild  in  some  places  but  it  served 
its  purpose  in  that  it  gave  some  much-needed  experience  in  a  game 
situation.  Aldridge,  by  the  way,  was  red  hot,  giving,  indication  that 
our  forward  wall  will  be  much  stronger  this  year.  In  case  you 
haven't  heard,  the  regulation  game  ended  with  the  Buffs  holding 
a  slim,  one-point  lead. 

Mention  should  also  be  made  of  the  B-team  victory  over  Happy 
Valley  High  School.  Our  near  neighbors  always  have  a  good  high 
school  ball  team  and  beating  them  is  no  easy  job.  Although  I  didn't 
see  the  game,  it  was  reported  to  me  that  Van  Buren  looked  especi- 
ally good  and  I  wouldn't  be  surprised  if  some  varsity  boys  hadn't 
better  start  hustling  a  little  more.  Especially  to  be  congratulated 
IS  Bud  Gaslm,  who  has  been  coaching  the  B-te^m  and  working  with 
them  every  evening. 

While  the  congratulations  are  being  passed  out  we  shouldn't, 
overlook  Duard  Aldridge  and  Glen  Barton  who  have  been  elected; 
co-captains  for  the  coming  season.  This  is  the  second  year  as  co- 
captain  for  both  of  these  boys  and  I  know  the  team  has  the  ut- 
most confidence  in  them.  The  way  in  which  they  already  have- 
proven  themselves  as  problems  have  arisen  within  the  team  has 
given  indication  that  they  are  equal  to  the  job  and  will  make  fine 
leaders  for  the  1955-58  Buffaloes. 

Coach  Walker  and  Glen  Barton,  along  with  Coach  Madison 
Brooks,  Jim  Fleenor.  and  Herb  Edmonds  of  ETSC,  presented  the 
program  at  the  Rotary  Club  in  Johnson  City  last  week.  Glen  told 
me  later  that  it  sounded  like  the  Mutual  Admiration  Society  in 
session.  Seriously  though,  it  seems  that  Milligan — State  relations 
have  been  improving  the  last  few  years  and  are  definitely-  on  the 
upgrade.  If  we  could  just  beat  them  once  in  the  next  two  years 
everything  would  be  Just  fine.  By  the  way.  we  had  some  visitors 
from  Tusculum  last  week.  Aside  from  the  fact  that  they  painted 
up  the  campus,  I  have  but  one  thing  to  say — let's  guard  the  Buffalo 
this  year. 

In  closing,  let  me  express  a  team  member's  appreciation  of 
what  the  Varsity  Voices — or  Jolly  Peppers — are  trying  to  do.  It 
sounds  to  me  like  a  good  idea  and  I  think  I  can  speak  for  the 
team  when  I  say — we're  with  you  and  keep  it  up. 


For  the  second  straight  year 
Glen  Barton  and  Duard-  Ald- 
ridge have  been  elected  co-cap- 
tains by  the  MiUigan  College 
basketball  squad. 

Glen,  a  21-year  old  senior,  is 
begmning  his  fourth  year  on  the 
Milligan  College  varsity.  Stand- 
ing 6'1"  and  weighing  185 
pounds,    he    is    majoring    in    re- 


ligion. Glen  played  four  years 
of  high-school  ball  in  Wilkenson, 
Indiana,  but  now  makes  his 
home  in  Johnson  City. 

Duard  is  20  years  old,  a  junior, 
and  is  beginning  his  third  year 
on  the  varsity.  He  is  6'3"  tall 
and  weighs  170  pounds.  Duard 
played  his  high-school  ball  at 
Lamar,  Tennessee,  and  is  major- 
ing in  Physical  Education. 


the  Wildcats  drive  forward  again 
to  tie  the  score  at  77  all  with 
five  and  one-half  minutes  to  go 
in  the  game.  The  pace  ran  fast- 
er and  faster,  and  neither  team 
seemed  to  be  able  ot  colltrol  the 
ball  consistently.  With  two  min- 
utes to  go,  the  score  stood  in 
Milligan's  fa\'or  at  85  to  81,  and 
It  was  88  to  87  with  only  27  sec- 


onds left.  These  last  27  seconds 
told  the  story  as  far  as  the  game 
was  concerned.  A  Bethel  goal 
made  the  score  89  to  88  and 
gave  the  Wildcat's  a  one-point 
edge  .  ,  ,  the  Milligan  heart  sank 
in  despair.  But  the  gleam  of 
hope  again  shone  bright,  in  the 
eyes  of  the  Buffalo  as  the  refe-

weekend  of  November  13.  How  are  things  in  Canton,  Jean? 

The  scoop  of  the  week  is  the  pizza  pie  that  Wanda  Clarke  con-

stick  to  American  food!

The  elusive,  much-soughl  goal

ince  for  candidacy  by  the  Ac-

outhern  Association  have  bright-  ' 
ned  Milligan's  hopes  for  an 
arly  accreditation, 
Afk-r  a  h&aring  before  the 
lommittee  on  December  5",  Pres- 
lent  Dean  E.  Walker  reported 
J  the  student  body  in  chapel 
hat  the  most  favorable  decision 
n  the  power  of  the  Committee 
id  been  given  Milligan.  Dr. 
)onald  G.  Agnew.- executive  sec- 
c-tary  of  the  Southern  Associa- 
ion,  has  indicated  that  he  would 
e  here  on  campus  for  a  pre* 
iminao'  inspection  of  Milligan's 
acilities  and  program  during  the 
econd  week  in  April.  He  will  re- 
'iew  the  academic  program, 
■isit  students,  and  examine  the  , 
■xtracurricular  system  to  de- 
ermine  the  educational  tone  of 
he  organization  of  the  college. 
3r  Agnew  will  then  inform  us 
ivhtther  there  are  any  necessary 
;hanges  before  we  meet  the 
standards  of  the  Association.  If 
le  were  to  find  the  program  and 
facilities  satisfactory,  he  would 
:hen  recommend  that  we  be  ac- 
;epted  in  October.  (Actual  ad- 
mittance would  not  be  until  a 
year   from    that    October.) 

To  prepare  for  Dr.  Agnew's 
visit,  faculty  meetings  are  bo- 
ling  held  once  a  week  to  study 
requirements  which  must  be  met. 
Outside  speakers  who  have  had 
experience  with  the  Southern 
Association  and  accrediting  prob- 
lems will  be  invited  occasionally 
to  advise  the  faculty  on  neces- 
sary steps  to  be  taken. 

Among  the  important  prere- 
quisites for  accreditation  are  a 
tainimum  endowment —  §100,000 
fpr  each  one  hundred  students — 
proper  library  facilities,  adequate 
laboratory  equipment,  minimum 
faculty  degree  requirements;  and 
an  academic  program  which 
meets  the  needs  of  the  student 
body.  Many  of  these  problems 
have  been  met,  but  others  still 
pose  considerable  difficulty  for 
the  administration.  Increasing 
Size  of  the  student  body  foreseen 
in  the  next  year  will  mean  a 
proportionBl  increase  in  the 
minimum  endowment  . 
-  Much  credit  must  bo  given  the 
alumni  and  the  friends  of  the 
college  who  have  made  the  en- 
dowment drive  and  the  ojcpand- 
ed  building  program  a  success. 
TiVithout  these  two  factors  Mil- 
ligan could  not  consider  applica- 
tion for  admission  to  the  South- 
ern Association.

THE  SOPHOMORE  CLASS  is  slo>vly  (unfortuhatoly),  but  sure- 
ly, advancing  toward  its  project  goal.  The  archway,  according  to 
present  plans,  will  become  a  reality  in  a  year.  With  $343.77  on 
bandas  of  February  1,  the  class  has  two  sub-projects  underway 
which  will  nearly  double  that  amount  when  they  are  completed. 
Pictures  of  landmarks  on  camp'us  are  being  sold  by  alf  members 
of  the  class.  These  are  recommended  as  gifts  tor  former  or  future 
Milligan  students,  or  for  a  welcome  enclosure  in  a  letter  home. 
See  the  poster  in  the  lobby  of  the  Ad.  Building  for  samples.

where  they  are  being  made.  These,  too.  you  can  buy  from  any 
class  member.  The  buffaloes  make  good  gifts,  and  are  usable  as 
paperweights  or  bookends,  or  just  as  figurines.  You'll  want  one

DOGGEREL  FROM  A  BUSTED  PEN— 

Buffalo,  buffalo  on  the  wall, 

Who  can  but  tell  that  you're  all 
Tired  and  worn  from  hordes  of  kids. 

Why  don't  you  tell  them  you're  on  the  "skids?" 

Tell  them  to  fix  your  busted  eye 

"And  clean  you  up  and  shine  you;  why, 

You  could  be  like  new  with  hardly  effort  at  all, 
Buffalo,  buffalo  on  the  wall 

It*s  just  a  shame  the  way  you're  carried 

Upside  down  and  all.  and  harried 
Like  your  kin  of  old — 

They've  sure  left  you  in  the  cold! 
Anyone  can  see  that  THEY'RE  the  fool  — 

Why,  you're  the  one  who  founded  this  school! 

If  they  had  as  much  pride  as  they  made  out, 
They'd  fix  your  eyes  and  ears  and  snout 

And  wash  and  comb  your  hair  so  dirty, 
And  you'd  wind  up  so  nice  and  perty! 


THE   ROVING

By  Tho  Horlng  Reporter 
Now  that  the  bustle  of  exams 
is  over  everyone  has  had  time 
to  ait  back  and  take  stock  of  the 
semester's  work.  Realizing  that 
we  have  gained  more  than  a  few 
hours  of  credit  toward  our  di- 
ploma, I  asked  numerous  stu- 
dents in  different  fields  what 
benefit  they  had  received  from 
a  few  months  stay  at  Milligan. 
Everyone  agreed  that  he  had 
found  a  better  way  of  life  since 
entering  these  stately  halls.  I 
should  like  to  quote  some  of  the 
replies  I  received  as  to  what 
Milligan  has  meant  to  various 
students. 

Mamoru  Ishikawa:  I  could  get 
an  education  at  a  state  school, 
but  not  the  christian  education 
like  I  am  obtaining  here.  At  Mil- 
ligan I  am  learning  what  my  pur- 
pose is  in  life. 

Roberta  Dick:  I  have  learned 
to  get  along  with  others  while 
iiving  in  confined  quarters  such 
as  we  have  in  the  dormitory- 
Jim  Hamilton:  I  got  tangled  up 
with  the  "abominable'.'  music  de- 
partment in  an  indirect  manner. 
Bobbi  (who  wishes  to  remain 
anonymous):  I  have  met  a  lot  of 
nice  people  and  have  confirmed 
my  previous  beliefs  that  minis- 
terial students  are  Casanovas. 
More  important  than  these,  I 
have  learned  how  to  survive 
without  electricity,  heat,  water, 
and  other  modem  conveniences. 
Donna  Andre;  A  ring! 
Ray  Gurley:  I  have  gained  a 
new  concept  of  life,  and  a  reali- 
zation of  the  minuteness  of  my 
own  knowledge  and  my  insig- 
nificance as  a  person.

THE  CHOICE  {,)  THAT  IS  (,)  LIFE 

There  was  once  an  elderly  man  who  always  gave  to  his 
friends  the  appearance  of  being  happy.  His  friends  were 
curious  as  to  the  cause  of  the  smile  which  greeted  them  every 
morning  as  they  met  the  old  man.  They  questioned  him  .  .  . 

"How  can  ye  be>«o  cheerful!  ALL  of  the  time?"  they  ask-- 
ed  him.  "How  is  it  that  every  morning  we  see  a  smile  on  your 
face?"  * 

"Well,  you  see,"  said  the  old  man,  "every  morning  when 
I  awake,  I  know  that  I  have  a  choice.  I  can  go  through  the 
day  with  a  sour  expression  on  my  face,  concerned  with  my 
own  little  troubles;  or,  I  can  be  happy  and  cheerful,  and 
spread  to  others  the  happiness  that  I  possess.  I  always  choose 
the  latter." 

God  has  endowed  every  human  being  with  the  power  to 
choose,  and  the  above  story  illustrates  only  one  of  the  choices 
that  each  of  us  can  make  each  day  of  our  lives ^,  .  .  and  it  is, 
perhaps,  one  of  the  more  important  ones. 

What  do  we  mean  when  we  use  the  word  "choice?" 
Webster  gives  several  definitions — "act  of  choosing;  power 
of  choosing;  the  best  part;  that  which  is  chosen;  an  alterna- 
tive." 

Now  that  we  have  some  idea  of  what  a  choice  is,  just 
what  is  a  "choice  life?"  In  my  mind  it  is  this — that  which  re- 
sults from  wise  use  of  the  power  of  choice. 

Each  of  us  has  every  day  opportunities  to  make  decisions 
when  perhaps  several  alternatives  are  involved.  When  we 
are  using  our  power  of  choice  wisely,  we  make  those  decisions 
which  will  correspond  with  and  help  strengthen  the  more 
important  decisions  that  we  have  made  or  will  make. 

Ever>'  choice  has  two  sides,  much  the  same  as  the  two 
sides  of  a  mirror.  One  is  positive:  something  constructive 
may  be  accomplished  by  looking  into  it;  and  the  other  is  nega- 
tive: it  usually  has  a  dark  face,  and  you  won't  see  much  in  it. 
The  result  of  a  choice  can  be  beneficial  ,  .  ■  or  it  can  be  de- 
structive. 

The  greater  part  of  the  choices  we  make  here  at  Milli- 
gan are  in  connection  with  our  daily  life  as  students — these 
make  up  the  framework  for  the  greater  choices  we  have  made. 

We  have  chosen  to  take  the  name  of  Christ,  or  to  keep 
our  own;  to  serve  God,  or  serve  ourselves;  or  we  might  even 
have  chosen  NOT  to  make  a  choice — to  drift  ■with  the  cur- 
rents of  life  without  committing  ourselves  to  a  decision. 

Within  this  framework  of  the  purpose  which  we  ha%-e 
selected  for  our  lives,  there  are  the  daily  decisions  which  we 
make — the  ones  which  constitute  our  "routine" — the  way  in 
which  we  live.  We  can  choose  to  get  up  in  the  morning,  or 
to  stay  in  bed;  to  go  to  class,  or  to  go  to  the  Sub;  to  check  the 
mail,  or  not  to  check  the  mail;  to  go  to  town,  or  stay  at  school; 
to  go  to  the  basketball  game,  or  study-.  .  .  and  on  we  could 
go  naming  everything  done  by  everyone. 

Many  of  our  decisions  are  made  automatically  or  "un- 
consciously," (the  latter  is  all  too  often  the  case>-^for  the 
modern  world  tells  you  that  if  you  stop  to  think  about  what 
you  are  doing,  you  will  be  trampled  into  the  dust  of  your 
own  hesitation. 

It  is  said,  ''A  rolling  stone  gathers  no  moss."  And  many 
people  gives  me  the  impression  of  rolling  stones  which  are 
plummeting  down  the  hill  of  life  to  their  destruction.  But 
they  aren't  gathering  any  moss,  are  thfey? — and  the  choice 
they  seem  to  have  made  is  that  they  DONT  want  to  gather 
any  moss.  Perhaps  these  are  the  "grind -stones"  that  start 
roUing  when  they  are  pushed  a  little  too  hard  by  that  "facial 
peninsula"  called  the  nose. 

This,  then,  is  not  the  "choice  life",  for  ^"rolling  stones" 
are  not  using  their  power  of  choice  wisely. 

Someone  has  said  that  the  truly  wise  man  is  the  one  who 
has  chosen  Christ — the  one  who  has  made  the  decision  to 
give  his  life  in  obedience  to  the  ■ft'ill  of  Christ  and  makes  all 
other  decisions  in  accordance  with  this  one. 

This  decision  would  certainly  be  a  wise  use  of  the  power 
to  choose — so  this,  then,  is  the  "choice  life" — Christ,  because 
he  is  the  "best  part"  of  life;  and  your  decision  of  obedience 
to  Christ,  because  it  gives  you  the  love  of  Christ. 

The  choices  that  YOU  make  decide  the  pattern  of  your 
life— have  you  chosen  Christ,  THE  choice  (,)  that  is  (,)  life?

half  to  two  days  to  make  the  trip. 
The  cattle  are  held  in  a  corral 
during  the  night  for  rest  and  wa- 
ter. The  horses  are  fed  and- wa- 
tered, and  then  tied  in  a  bam 
together. 

The  next  morning,  the  horses 
are  fed.  watered,  and  saddled 
before  breakfast.  After  breakfast 
the  herd  is  moved  out,  and  most 
of  them  are  willing  to  go  because 
they  are  hungry;  they  eat  on  the 
way.  When  they  arrive  at  the 
winter  rgnge,  the  cattle  are  turn- 
ed out  to  feed  on  bunch  grass. 
During  the  winter  a  man  rides 
.  most  of  the  time.  He  looks  for 
stray  cattle;  and  maybe  the  fence 
is  down,  so  he  rides  the  fence 
line.  Since  he  has  to  do  a  lot  ot 
riding,  this  is  a  good  opportunity 
to-  break  a  colt. 

At  first,  the  colt  is  taught  to 
lead.  Then  he  is  saddled  and  left 
in  the  corral  to  get  used  to  some- 
thing on  his  back.  After  he  is 
use  to  the  feel  of  something  on 
his  back,  the  cowboy  mounts  him 
in  a  small  corral  and  teaches  him 
to  neck  rein.  After  the  colt  is 
walked  in  the  corral,  he  is  taken 
out  on  short  rides.  If  it  can  be 
avoided,  the  .  colt  must  never 
buck;  but  sometimes  it  can't  be 
helped.  Once  in  a  while  a  horse 
will  buck  his  rider  off,  but  this 
is  no  disgrace.  As  the  saying  goes, 
"There  vras  never  a  rider  that 
couldn't  be  throwed.  and  there 
was  nevef-  a  horse  that  couldn't 
be  rode." 

The  cowboy  makes  short  rides, 
and  win  come  back  at  noon  to 
change  horses.  A  good  cowboy 
will  change  horses  every  other 
day.  He  will  take  care  of  his 
horses  as  if  they  were  all  he  had. 
When  the  winter  is  hard,  the 
cattle  have  to  be  brought  in  and 
fed  hay.  Sometimes  the  hay  is 
spread  out  on  the  ground;  or  the 
cattle  may  be  fed  at  a  hay  bam. 
The  hay  is  slacked  in  the  bam, 
which  has  lofting  sheds  on  each 
side.  These  bams  usually  range 
from  100  to  200  feet  in  length; 
the  place  where  the  hay  Is  kept 
is  about  20  feet  wide,  and  the 
lofting  sheds  are  about  15  feet 
wide  on  «H:h  side.  This  protects 
the  cattle  from  the  weather. 

On  about  the  first  of  February, 
the  cows  start  calving;  and  this 
is  a  bus>*  time  of  the  year  for  a 
cowboy.  He  has  to  take  care  of 
the  calves.  Sometimes  he  has  to 
feed  a -small  coif  that  %von*t  eat, 
or  a  cow  will  fall  down  and  he 
has  to  help  her  up.  He  finds  that 
he  should  have  been  two  or  three 
people  at  once,  so  that  he  could 
take  care  ot  cverj-thing  that 
needs  to  be  done.  The  cattle  are 


left  on  the  range  until  the  mid- 
dle of  May;  then  they  are  round- 
ed up  to  be  taken  to  the  summer 
range  'again. 

During  vaccination  time  my 
brother  and  I  always  liked  to 
ride  the  bigger  calves.  We  had  a 
bull-rigging,  which  is  a  braided 
rope  used  for  riding  bulls.  This 
was  put  around  the  calf,  and  one 
of  us  would  get  on,  take  a  hold 
with  one  hand,  and  turn  the  calf 
out-  It  was  awfully  hard  to  stay 
on  the  calf,  and,  at  the  same 
time,  keep  the  calf  from  being 
on  top  of  you. 

I  have  always  liked  to  ride  a 
good  cow-horse.  They  are  used 
for  separating  cattle.  A  smart 
cow-horse  will  cut  out  an  animal, 
and  all  the  rider  has  to  do  is 
hang  on.  I  remember  one  time 
that  a  cow  got  away  and  went 
out  of  the  corral  on  the  run,  I 
took  out  after  her,  and  when  the 
cow  tuj-ned,  the  horse  turned — 
but  I  forgot  to.  and  I  hit  the 
ground  pretty  hard  and  got  the 
wind  knocked  out  of  me.  Some- 
times a  horse  will  fall  and  roll 
over  a  cowboy,  but  he  usually 
manages  to  come  out  alive.

It  is  time,  then,  for  the  wallers 
to  wake  up  and  stop  objecting  to 
their  education,  especially  to 
English.  As  painful  as  its  study 
may  be  in  some  cases  to  some 
people,  it  is  undeniably  essential 
to  any  iwofession.  No  matter  how 
practical  that  profession  may  be, 
English  is  even  more  practical. 
In  fact,  it  is  an  integral  part  of 
that  profession.

BUFFALO 
UMBLINCS 

With  Jim  Crouch 

The  ways  of  athletics  are  strange.  What  it  it  that  makes 
player  a  champ  one  game  and  a  chump  the  next?  Why  do 
ayers  and  teams  have  slumps?  I  realize  that  it  is  the  human 
sment  in  a  person,  but  what  makes  the  human  factor  act 
d  react  as  it  does?  Is  it  a  regular  series  of  ups  and  downs 
at  one  goes  through?  Is  it  as  the  Turks  say.  Kismet?  He 

10  could  solve  that  problem  would  indeed  be  the  man  of 
ages.  I  dent  think  it  is  necessary  to  explain  my  line  of 

Dught  because  the  Buffaloes  are  presently  in  a  slump  and 
the  time  of  this  writing  have  lost  three  straight  games, 
lat  was  once  a  respectable  9-4  record  has  degenerated  into 
mediocre  9-7  record  with  two  more  formidable  foes  to  face 
fore  this  paper  even  comes  out — and  then  there's  always 
St  Tennessee  State  College. 

What  is  to  be  done?  Or  is  there  anything  that  can  be 
ne?  Some  people  think  that  one  can  do  nothing  about  it, 
1  he  must  wait  until  he  snaps  out  of  his  slump  naturally, 

1 1  disagree.  -With  our  problem  the  main  burden,  of  course, 
an  the  team,  and  what  we  do  the  remainder  of  the  season 
dependent  mainly  on  the  team  spirit.  But  there  is  another 
e  to  the  picture.  Everyone  will  agree  that  one  should  nevei^ 
e  an  individual  when  he  is  in  a  slump,  but  many  times 
IS  fail  to  see  that  the  same  thing  holds  true  with  a  team, 
anis — as  teams — get  just  as  discouraged  as  do  individuals, 
i  when  they  are  down,  stepping  on  them  will  not  help 
■m  get  up.  My  own  personal  opinion  is  that  before  this 
je  of  the  STAMPEDE  comes  out  the  low  point  will  have 
!n  reached,  and  after  the  State  game  (possibly  before)  the 
ffs  will  start  coming  out  of  the  slump.  Whatever  the  case, 

•  understanding  and  support  of  the  fans  will  definitely 
p.  Here  is  a  rundown  on  the  games  played  since  Christ- 
s.  The  Union  game  will  be  found  elsewhere  on  this  page. 
The  Buffaloes  opened  their  post  season  slate  with  a  72-58 
tory  over  Emory  and  Henry  in  a  sluggish  and  poorly  play- 
game. Both  teams  showed  the*  effects  of  a  long  Christmas 
:ation,  but  the  higher  shooting  percentage  of  the  Buffs  on 
ir  own  floor  gave  them  the  victory.  Greenwell,  Aldridge 
1  Barton  led  Milligan's  usual  well-rounded  scoring  attack 
h  15,  14,  and  13  points,  respectively.  The  Milligan  B  team 
'pped  the  preliminary  67-66  in  the  final  20  seconds. 
On  January  9,  Ralph  Home  "and  Company"  from  Tus- 
um  took  the  Buffaloes  into  camp  to  the  tune  of  86-76.  Mil- 
m  led  42-39  after  a  hectic  first  half,  but  went  completely 
Meces  after  the  intermission.  Home  scored  23  for  the  Pio- 
rs,  which,  if  it  will  make  anyone  feel  better,  was  his  low- 
scoring  effort  of  the  season.  Greenwell  led  the  Buffs  with 
Aldridge  turned  in  a  good  night  on  the  boards  with  16 
punds  to  his  credit,  but  the  Pioneers  as  a  team  topped  the 
Efaloes  in  that  department  also. 

The  Buffs  then  took  their  annual  West  Tennessee  road 
)  and  split  two  games.  On  Friday  night  they  got  even 
h  Union  (Tenn.)  for  several  previous  close  losses  and 
nped  the  Bulldogs  78-62.  Milligan  led  all  the  way  in  a  much 
>er  game  than  indicated  by  the  final  score,  and  played 
y  well  under  pressure  when  Union  threatened  to  over- 
e  the  shorter  Buffaloes.  Greenwell  again  led  the  Buf- 
)es  with  15  points.  On  the  following  night,  though,  the 
e  was  on  a  different  foot,  and  Austin  Peay  gave  their  East 
messee  visitors  a  95-71  trouncing.  The  only  bright  spot 
in  otherwise  dull  evening  was  Del  Harris's  20  points. 
After  returning  home  the  Buffaloes  traveled  to  Emory 
I  Henry  and  trimmed  the  Wasps  83-70.  It  is  always  diffi- 
t  to  defeat  Emory  and  Henry  on  their  home  court,  and 
ligan  turned  in  one  of  itS;best  performances  of  the  sea- 
.  Harris  lead  the  individual  scoring  with  31  points,  follow- 
by  Gaslin  with  15.  Although  Covell  and  Gouge  scored  only 
nd  8  pdints  respectively,  they  both  turned  in  fine  per- 
nances  when  the  Wasps  threatened  to  overtake  the  Buf- 
es.  Covell  got  several  timely  rebounds,  and  Gouge  hand- 
the  ball  well  and  made  several  defensive  saves, 
hen  came  the  State  game,  and  what  started  out  to  be  a 
I  thriller  bogged  down  into  a  95-63  trouncing,  with  State 
king  50  per  cent  of  their  shots.  Greenwell,  with  12,  and 
Itis,  with  11  led  Milligan's  somewhat  scanty  scoring 
|iimn. ' 

j(  After  a  week's  lay-off  the  Buffaloes  traveled  to  LMU  and 
Wfered  th^ir  second  straight  severe  defeat,  94-75.  Coach 
Hiker  juggled  the  starting  lineup  somewhat,  which  led  the 

!iil  newspaper  to  believe  that  the  whole  team  was  either 
d  or  dying.  Aldridge  came  through  for  Milligan  with 
looints. 

Carson-Newman  then  came  to  Milligan  on  January  31, 
L  dealt  the  Buffaloes  their  third  straight  set-back,  74-69, 
s  Buffs  were  definitely  off  and  played  only  in  spurts.  As 
Jal  Milligan  had  a  well-balanced  scoring  attack  with  Gas- 
]14,  Aldridge  13,  and  Harris  12. 


BUFFALOES  EDGE  UNION  COLLEGE  84-82;  END 
A  4-GAME  LOSING  STREAK;  ALDRIDGE  HIGH  MAN 

After  losmg  to  invading  Ausfin  Peay  98-81  on  Friday,  February  4.  the  Milligan  Col- 
lege Buffaloes  snapped  a  four  game  losing  streak  on  Monday,  February  6,  to  upset  Union 
College  (Ky)  84-82.  The  Buffaloes,  playing  away  from  home,  revenged  an  earlier  season 
game  that  went  to  Union  by  four  points. 

The  Buffs  jumped  off  to  an  early  lead  that  was  never  threatened  until  the  closing  min- 
utes of  the  game,  despite  a  34-point  output  by   Shannon   Sloan,   Union's   only   lead   was 

82-81,  and  the  Milligan  Men 
quickly  erased  that. 

Aldridge  led  Milligan's  well- 
rounded  scoring  attack  with  17 
points,  followed  by  Covell  with 
15  and  Harris  with  12.  Barton 
and  Covell  led  the  Buffalo  re- 
bounding with  14  and  13  re- 
spectively, while  Gaslin  and 
Greenwell  chipped  in  with  the 
most  assists.  Don  "Williams,  while 
playing  less  thein  11  minutes, 
played  a  fine  ball  game  and 
grabbed  7  rebounds  much  better 
than  usual,  and  this  was  one  of 
the  main  factors  contributing  to 
the  win. 

The  Buffaloes  now  have  a  rec- 
ord of  10  wins  and  8  losses.

WHO    WRITES     THE    RECIPES 

NORMAN,  Okla.  — (ACP)— The 
Oklahoma  Daily's  wcwnen's  page 
has  an  all-male  staff  for  the  first 
time  in  history. 

Th  e  Uni  V  ersity  of  Oklahoma 
pubhcations  board  has  named 
men  to  ten  of  13  major  staff  posi- 
tions for  the  last  half  of  the  fall 
semester. 

The  board  changed  the  "So- 
ciety page"  to  the  "Campus 
page,"  and  picked  John  Lacky, 
Norman  junior,  as  campus  edi- 
tor. His  assistant  campus  editor 
is  Pat  Keenan,  Tahlequah,  sopho- 
more. 

Lackey  was  a  staff  writer  for 
the  Society  page  during  the  first 
half  of  the  semester,  and  Keenan 
served  as  sports  editor  last  spring. 


Girls'  Basketball  News 

By  ARC  IE  LEE  PAYNE 
"Ouch,  my  bacJ;:  I  can't  move!" 
"Who  won  last  night?"  "Do  we 
play  tomorrow  night?"  "Spizzer- 
inctum!"  These  are  some  of  the 
comments  that  may  be  drifting  to 
your  ears  as  you  noticfe  small 
groups  of  girls,  congregating  in 
the  halls,  in  the  sub,  or  else- 
where on  the  campus.  For  girls 
intramural  basketball  is  in  full 
swing,  and  the  so-called  weaker 
sex  is  having  a  time  with  "secret 
plays."  "kill  the  referee."  etc. 

The  girls  intramural  basket 
ball  games  started  right  after 
Chri^mas  recation.  There  are 
six  teams  composed  of  freshmen, 
sophomores,  juniors  and  senior 
girls.  Team  4,  whose  captain  is 
Alice  Jerman,  is  in  the  lead  at 
this  writing,  having  played  4 
games  and  lost  none. 

Doubtless  none  of  the  girls  are 
considering  taking  basketball  up 
professionally  but  the  game  pro- 
vides plenty  of  exercise  and  is 
fun  for  all.

MORAL:    DONT    FIGHT 
CITY  HALL 

WILMORE.  Ky.  _(ACP)—  A 
student  at  Asbury  College  was  re- 
cently arrested  by  a  traffic  of- 
ficer for  speeding.  He  decided 
to  uphold  his  democratic  rights 
and  carry  his  case  to  a  trial  by 
jury. 

As  the  Asbury  Collegian  re- 
marks, perhaps  we  need  more 
people  with  such  resoluteness. 
But  thoy  aren't  sure  just  what 
he  gained.  The  usual  fine  for 
speeding:  $13.50.  The  student's 
fine  after  the  trial:  $65.50.

duties. 

The  cards  which  had  been  fill- 
ed out  had  to  be  adphabetized, 
sectioned  according  to  course 
number,  and  then  alphabetized 
according  to  the  student's  last 
name.  Rolls  had  to  be  typed  for 
every  class,  grade  cards  made. 
envelopes  addressed,  etc.  This 
was  ONLY  the  registrar's  part, 
and  not  all  of  her.  dtities  have 
been  mentioned. 

This  day  was  January-  30.  1956, 
and  it  marked  the  beginning  of 
a  new  semester  which  meant  one 
all-overpowering  thing  .  .  .  . 
REGISTRATION.  Throughout 
the  day  it  was  in  force.  New 
schedules,  new  courses,  new  faces 
— all  this  means  registration. 

The  tiring  procecdure.  the 
hours  of  waiting  in  line,  and  all 
the  hard  work  are  received  with 
smiling  faces  at  Milligan  for  we 
all  know:  "It's  just  part  of  our 
college  days,  being  a  part  of  the 
'Milligan  Family'  outweighs  the 
dreaded   day   of   registration."

tion plaque  for  the  Freshmen. 

It  is  always  good  to  announce 
an  accomplishment  which  affects 
some  people  very  much.  After 
some  discussion  the  road  between 
Cheek  and  Pardee  Is  now  a  two- 
way  thoroughfare. 

If  you  have  seen  something  on 
campus  which  you  think  should 
be  taken  care  of  for  the  benefit 
of  the  students,  don't  just  think 
about  it  or  tell  your  roommate, 
unless  he  is  on  the  Student  Coun-

been  overlooked  until  you  looked 
it  over.

A  FINAL  VERSE 

MANHATTAN.  Kan.  —(ACP) 
— With  finals  looming  ominously 
ahead,  Ann  Weathers  sat  down 
and  penned  a  short  verse  in  her 
"Over  the  Ivy  Line"  column  in 
the  Kansas  State  Collegian.  It 
reads: 

Tests,  tests,  everywhere,         ^ 

With  drops  and  drops  of  ink; 
And  never  a  prof  who'll 
leave  the  room 
And  allow  a  guy  to  think. 


ON  THE  LIGHTER  SIDE 

ST.  PETER.  Minn.  — (ACP)— 
Gustavus  Adolphus  columnist 
Charles  Hendcrickson  listed  these 
in  his  Old  Manse  column  in  the 
Gustavian  Weekly. 

A  propcrous  looking  man  driv- 
ing a  baby-blue  Cadillac  eased 
his  gar  to  a  halt  at  a  stop  sigrL 
An  old  Fgrd  rottled  up  alongside 
and  the  driver  rolled  own  his 
window  and  yelled  to  the  man  in 
the  Cadillac.  "Hi  stupid,  what 
quiz  question  did  you  miss?" 


ELEPHANT   BOY 

RICHMOND.  Ind.  — (ACP)— 
One  of  the  foreign  students  at 
Earlham  College  is  Nicholas  As- 
sare,  whose  home  is  in  the  town 
of  Mamfe  on  Africa's  Gold  Coast. 
When  he  first  arrived  at  Earl- 
ham. he  was  immediately  be- 
sieged with  questions  from  arm- 
chair explorers  all  asking  about 
the  wild  animals  of  his  native 
land. 

To  everyone's  surprise,  Nich- 
olas confessed  that  he.  had  never 
seen  a  wild  animal  in  Africa,  in- 
dicating that  at  least  part  of  the 
countrj'  is  more  civilized  than 
most  people  think.  His  American 
friends  made  up  for  Nicholas" 
lack  of  knowledge,  however,  They 
immediately  trotted  him  off  to  a 
local  zoo  to  show  him  some  of 
the  ferocious  beasts  that  are  sup- 
posed to  be  so  prevalent  in^  Af- 
rica. The  zoo-keeper  even  let  him 
ride  an  elephant  so  that  he  would 
have  something  exciting  to  tell 
the  folks  back  home. 


GUILTY  OR  NOT  GUILTY 

When  the  editor  of  a  small- 
town newspaper  was  hard  press- 
ed for  material  with  which  to 
fill  his  columns  one  week,  he  ran 
the  Ten  Commandments  without 
editorial  comment  Soon  after  he 
received  a  letter  from  a  reader 
who  said,  "Cancel  my  subscrip- 
tion— you're  getting  too  per- 
sonal!" 


"Viewing  with  gloom  is  only 
to  be  expected  in  the  spring  of 
an  election  year.  The  truth  is, 
wo  do  not  have  a  depression. 
And  what's  more,  as  I  said  time 
and  again,  your  Government 
\vill  continue  to  use  its  full 
powers  to  make  sure  that  wo  do 
not  have  one." 
—President   Dwight   Eisenhower. 


And  then  there's  the  educator 
who  came  up  with  this  one:  "I 
shall  now  illustrate  what  I  have 
on  my  mind,"  Said  the  professor 
as  he  erased  the  blackboarcl. 
I 


Young  wife  lo ,  husband  on  a 
streetcar:  "If  we  miss  two  pa>'- 
ments  on  the  washing  machine 
and  one  on  the  refrigerator, 
we'll  have  enough  for  a  down 
pa>Tncnt  on  a  television  set" 


Sitting  in  the  lobby  of  her  re- 
sort hotel,  o  lad>'  drew  a  small 
slip  of  paper  from  an  envelope, 
gazed  at  it  and  said,  "My  hus- 
band writes  he's  feeling  fin*, 
business  is  good  and  that  he 
loves  mo  very  much." 

"All  that  on  such  a  small  piece 
of  paper?"  her  friend  asked. 

"Yes,"  she  replied.  "You  see, 
it's  a  check  for  a  hundred  dol- 
lara."  ,

MISS  WHITE 

Within  the  pages  of  Webster's 
H  OoUegiate  Dictionary,  on 
e  93.  the  definition  of  a  blos- 
\  is  found-  Here  It  is  defined 
(1)  a  stage  of  development 
(2)  to  flourish  and  prosper. 
tlss  Ruth  White,  the  music  di- 
tor  at  Milligan  College,  Ten- 
see,  has  been  described  by 
definitions  quite  vividly 
I  adequately.  Why?  To  all 
se  who  know  her  personally 
I  to  the  "MiUigan  family"  es- 
ially,  she  is  referred  to  as 
ossom."  This  nickname  Is  lit- 
and  proper  foj-  the  college's 
sic  director. 

hinking  about  Miss  White  in 
iiparison  with  the  first  delini- 
i,  it  can  be  quickly  obsen.'od 
t  she  has  become  the  Instru- 
nt  with  which  the  music  do- 
tment  of  Milligan  has  been 
ter  developed. 

"he  stage  of  music  of  any  col- 
is  usually  found  within  the 
[odious  voices  of  Its  choir,  And

an  intinerary  of  a  "dream", cruise 
over  part  of  the.  United  States- 
In  reahty  it  is  a  list  of  the  states 
which  the  Milligan  College  Choir 
has  had  the  opportunity  of  tour- 
mg  during  past  years. 

March  18.  1956,  marks  the  date 
when  the  college  choir  will  ocnce 
again  go  on  its  annual,  tour  to 
present  concerts  In  v  a  r  i  ou  3 
churches. 


The  schedule     of     the     choir's 
tour  this  year  is  as  follows: 
Maj'ch  18  Washington,  D.   G. 
March  18  Bel    Air,   Maryland, 
MarcTT  19  Bloomsburg.  Penna. 
March  20  Alfoona,    Penna-

March  22  Blanchard,  Penna. 
March  23  Hubbard.-  Ohio. 
March  24  Hillsboro,    Ohio- 
March  25  Indefinite. 

When  the  day  arrives  for  the 
tour  to  begin,  there  will,  no 
doubt,  be  happy  hearts  and  a 
great  deal  of  anticipation  within 
the  hearts  of  every  member  of 
the  choir.  And  with  them,  they 


have  as  their  bus  driver 
Grady  Kelton,  who  was  also  the 
driver  last  year^  Grady  hasrfound 
a  place  of  fond  feeling  ■  in  the 
heart'  of  the  choir  collectively 
with  his  friendly,  likeable'  traits. 

The  time'  will  soon  arrive  when 
the  choir  ~*111  have  a  daily  rou- 
tine of  a  "choir  on  tour."  They 
will  look  forward  to  hearing 
Miss  Perry  say  in  that  irresis- 
tible southern  drawl  of  hers, 
"Now  if  'you  air  will  keep  yoiu- 
seats.  I'll  give  you  your  lunch 
money."  Then  there  will  be  the-

Class  Of  1956 

Has- everyone  noticed  that  you 
no  longer  need  a  flashlight  to 
find  your  way  Jn  the  library  at 
nighl?  Candles  can  once  again 
become  obsolete — at  least  as  long 
as  the  power  holds  out.  The  senior 
class  can  be  thanked  for  this  wel- 
come addition.  We  who  do  visit 
the  library  at  night  for  studying 
purposes,  appreciate  the  lighting 
system.  Getting  the  lights  in- 
stalled has  been  the  highlight  of 
the  Senior  class  activities  of 
1955-56.  We  are  now  patiently,

Milligan  College  Is  . . . 

By  JIM  FTSHEH 

Go  ahead!  FDl  it  inl  It  would  be  interesting  to  see  what  yo\l 
think  Milligan  College  is.  Being  asked  to  write  the  Judgment  I 
have  formed  in  the  short  time  I  have  known  Milligan  has  challeng- 
ed my  imagination.  What  Is  Milligan  College? 

An  educational  InsUtutlon  can  only  b«,-Ss  good.as  its  instruc- 
tors The  faculty  under  whom  we  sit  are  not  aU  the  best  m  their 
field;  there  are  many  deplorably  weak  fields  in  which  there  is  an 
inadequate  number  of  professors,  or  none  at  all.  On  the  other  hand, 
Milligan  can  boast  of  outstanding  strength  in  many  fields  with  a 
quality  of  leadership  worthy  of  recognition.  I  came  to  this  college 
on  the  strength  of  my  knowledge  of  its  faxnilty  alone,  and  I  have  not 
been  disappointed.  The  knowledge  presented  here  can  be  presented 
in  the  Ught  of  understandmg  because,  for  the  most  part,  it  is  pre- 
sented in  that  light,  not  in  the  distorted  light  of  mans  bi«otry  and 
misunderstanding.  .        . 

If  an  educational  institution  can  be  as  successful  as  its  aims, 
Milligan  is  on  the  right  track.  This  is  a  Christian  school  in  its  aims. 
Never  have  1  heard  anything  presented  which  was  contrary  to  the 
New  Testament.  .         .       , 

Actually  I  think  that  there  are  two  MUligans  appearing  simul- 
taneously one  as  MiUigan  appears,  and  one  as  MUhgan  is. 

Eveo-one  sees  Milltgan- as  it  appears-through  its  .deals  its 
faculty,  and  the  students  who  go  out  from  Milligan.  Because  of  he 
rich  heritage,  the  sacrifices  which  went  into  the  bmldmg  of  the 
SoorMimgan  appears  strong.  With  the  fac^ty  Milligan  has  had 
Se  school  appears  capable.  Through  the  students  who  have  gone 
out  of  Milligan.  the  school  appears  to  have  done  a  good  job. 

But  MUligan  College  is  not  a  heritage,  or  a  faculty  or  grad- 
uates; MiUigan  is  the  sum  of  individuals  who  rjake  up  ^^jf^] 
right  now.  The  things  which  have  passed  before,  leavmg  us  a 
vaKiable  inheritance,  only  have  value  as  they  become  incorporated 
Into  the  individual  Uves  on  MilUgan's  campus-  Milligan  is.  at  this 
moment,  what  we  as  members  of  MilUgan  are  at  this  ^^^^^^ 
Students  and  faculty,  good  and  bad.  MiUigan  changes  «very  tune 
eaS  of  us  changes;  Milligan  grows  as  each  o£  us  grows;  MiUigan 
tS  Z  each  of  us  fails.  What  MiUigan  CoUege  is  today  is  what 
MilUgan  CoUege  wlU  appear  to  be  tomorrow. 

*  Perhaps  this  picture  gives  the  impression  that  MiUigan  CoUege 
resembles  an  amoeba,  with  each  particle  of  protoplasm  bulging  out 
S^™  own  particular  direction.  The  only  thing  that  prevents  tWs 
Snoeba-like  confusion  is  the  purpose  which  gmdes  us  ^  individ- 
Ss  and  as  a  coUege-to  be  more  Uke  Jej.u^-  Even  as  ^^^^^J 
growing  physically,  we  must  grow  as  individuals  spiritually  and 
SentSfy  so  that  the  school  can  continue  to  grow.  There  can  be  no 
SatdSg  stUl.  We  cannot  remain  the  same  sinful  human  bemgs  that 
we  are  and  hope  that  MiUigan  wiU  continue^o  ^ow 

Perhaps  this  interpretation  is  too  ideaU^c,  but  1  do  noir  tiimk 
so.  Nothing  is  so  practical  as  ideaUsm-when  the  ideal  is  Jesus 
Christ.  .  ^ '. 


Miss  White 

(Continued  From  Page  One) 
and  prospering  of  Christian  in- 
fluence through  music- 

The  four  R's  of  education  at 
MiUigan  have  become  quite  in- 
complete without  the  heartwarm- 
ing characterized  in  "Blossom's" 
choir.  You  hear  a  message;  you 
feel  the  warmth  and  sincerity 
of  every  song  which  is  sung  by 
the  choir  as  both  choir  and  di- 
rector have  their  hearts  and 
minds  turned  to  the  middle  "c" 
of  life,  Jesus  Christ. 
,  For  the  benefit  of  those  who 
have  not  met  her,  a  brief  sketch 
of  her  life  is  ^ven  in  the  fol- 
lowing paragraphs. 

Miss  White  was  bom  In  Ho^v- 
ard,  Pennsylvania,  and  her 
lKin)eto\vn  Is  in  Beechcreck, 
Pennsylvania. 

After  graduating     from     high 

school,     she     attended    JuiUiard 

,  School   of   Music   in   New   York 

City  for  three  winters  and  two 


summers  and  received  a  profes- 
sional diploma. 

While  she  was  a  student  at  this 
music  school,  she  was  a  soloist 
for  a.  radio  program  in  New 
York  City  for  26  weeks.  She  al- 
so attended  Westminister  Choir 
College  and  afterwards  taught 
music  in  public  schools  for  one 
year. 

Before  MiUigan  had  the  privi- 
lege of  having  her  as  Its  choir 
director,  she  was  Minister  of  Mu- 
sic at  E  n  g  1  e  w  o  o  d  Christian 
Church  in  Chicago.  lUinoIs. 

September,  1950,  was  the 
month  and  year  she  became  a 
part  of  the  MiUigan  faculty- 
Beaming  with  an  unusuaUy 
wonderful  personality  and  love 
for  her  work  In  the  realm  of 
music,  the  students  felt  that  no 
otHer  person  deserved  the  an- 
nual's dedication  In  1954  so  much 
a^  Miss  White, 

Over  a  period  of  these  past 
five  years,  she  has  appeared  in 
musleala,  worked  with  the  choir 


Miss  Perry 

(Continued  From  Page  One) 
sippi.  has  become  her  hometown. 
Within  the  boundaries  of  our 
college,  she  has  become  known 
as  "our  Southern  gal"  with  the 
winning  personality  and  Chris- 
tian characteristics. 

This  year  finds  Mary  engaged 
in  many  activities  and  concerns 
of  her  professional  career.  Be- 
sides all  the  energy  exercised 
with  the  freshman  English  clas- 
ses, she  holds  the  position  of 
youth  director  at  the  First  Chris- 
tian Church  in  Kingsport,  Tenr 
nessee.  Coach  of  drama  for  the 
coUege  and  sponsor  of  Alpha 
Psi  Omega  are  two  more  of  her 
many  tasks. 

As  spring  is  in  the  air  and  the 
month  of  March  has  become  a 
reality,  we  can  find  Mary  "up 
to  her  ears"  in  filling  the  duties 
called  for  as  the  business  man- 
ager for  the  college  choir  tour. 
This  job  is  one  that  takes  seem- 
ingly endless  hours  of  work'  and 
unlimited  patience. 

As  the  business  manager  for 
the  choir,  Mary's  duties  can  be 
classified  thus:  (I)  planning  pub- 
licity, (2)  managing  finances,  (3) 
assuming  speaking  responsibili- 
ties at  the  churches  where  the 
college  concerts  are  presented, 
(4)  contacting  prospective  stu- 
dents, and  (5)  being  a  one-per- 
son Chamber  of  Commerce  for 
the  college. 

These  duties  present  Mary 
with  a  hard  job.  and  needless  to 
say,  she  has  her  share  of  the 
headaches  Involved  with  the 
problems  which  are  presented 
with  the  annual  choir  tour. 

For  example,  there  are  the  fi- 
nancial problems  which  Include 
the  expenses  of  pubUcity  ma- 
terials, transportation,  meals  for 
the  personnel  on  tour,  and  medi- 
cal supplies  or  attention  if  need- 
ed. 

As  another  example,  there  is  a 
lot  involved  with  the  planning  of 
the  publicity.  Posters  have  to  be 
planned    and    choir    pictures    of 

and  ensembles,  done  evangelistic 
work,  taught  vocal  music  at  the 
coUege,  and  maintained  radio, 
and  television  programs. 

"Moments  with  Milligan",  the 
weekly  T.  V.  presentation,  caUs 
for,  "Blossom"  to  be  script  ^^Titer, 
rehearser,  and  onnounccr. 

A  member  of  -  Delta  Kappa 
Gamma,  the  Federated  Music 
Club,  and  the  Little  Theatre  in 
Johnson  City,  Tennessee,  she 
exercises  her  social  abiUties. 

The  choir  tours  bring  with 
them  the  Job  of  planning  where 
to  go.  rehearsals,  and  directing 
the  choir,  and  "Blossom"  fills  her 
position  expertly  at  this  time 
also. 

With  aU  with  whom  she  comes 
into  contact,  the  Uves  of  these 
people  are  enriched  by  her  choir 
presentations  and  her  Christian 
characteristics. 


Milligan  CoUege  is  a  living  manifestation  that  God  works 
through  man. 

We  do  not  believe  that  God  is  merely  the  transcendant  First 
Cause  which  created  the  world  and  placed  man  in  it  to  live  or  to 
die;  or,  to  the  other  extreme,  a  pious  puppeteer  who  pulls  strings  , 
to  make  men  stop  and"  go. 

Since  we  do  not  believe  that  God  is  an  exereme,  v/hat  position 
does  He  take  (if  we  may  take  the  liberty  of  placing  Him  in  a 
position)? 

Paul,  in  the  fifth  verse  of  the  fourth  chapter  of  his  letter  to 
the  Philippians.  exhorts  the  brethren  to  make  their  moderation,  or 
forbearance,  knov/n  to  aU  men.  Would  God  have  given  to  us  a  rule 
of  faith  and  practice  such  as  Uiis,  even  though  Paul,  if  He  did  not 
plan  to  respect  and  to  practice  it? 

The  primary  meaning  of  the  word  "moderation"  is  that  state 
characterized  by  reasonable  limitations  and  restraint-  The  road  and 
the  gate  to  heaven  are  narrow,  and  few  there  will  be  who  will  open 
their  eyes  to  the  Ught  that  shows  the  way. 

So  man„J3  neither  alone  nor  a  puppet.  CSod.  created  man  in  His 
spiritufi  arA  volitional  image,' and  He  works  in  the  world  through 
men  wlio  reaUze  that  salvation  comes  to  them  in  their  realization 
of  God  in  them,  not  by  effort  of  their  own  carnal  natures. 

And  Milligan  CoUege  lives  as  an  example  to  the  world  that  men 
can  organize  this  image  of  God  in  themselves  and  teach  it  to  others. 

Since  man  has  been  made  in  the  image  of  God,  God  has  fused 
his  image  into  man,  and  the  two  cannot  be  separated.  Even  if  man 
falls  from  God  through  sin,  God  as  a  loving  Father  does  not  separate 
himself  from  man.  but  "for  aU  this  his  anger  is  not  turned  away, 
but  his  hand  is  stretched  out  still."  (Isa-  5:25). 

So  God  must  be  manifested  not  only  in  the  way  He  has  re- 
-vealed  himself  through  his  Holy  Word  and  through  Christ,  but  also 
in  the  way  that  He  has  shown  himself  to  us  through  creation- 

An  author  cannot  be  separated  from  his  writing;  neither  can 
a  scientist  be  separated  from  his  research  or  a  carpenter  from  his 
trade.  So  why  must  we  try  to  separate  God  from  that  which  He 
has  created? 

At  Milligan  we  strive  to  learn  of  the  development  of  the  world 
and  the  universe  as  God's  creation— science;  we  strive  to  under- 
stand the  story  of  the  experience  of  mankind — history;  and  we  en- 
deavor to  synthesize  all  knowledge  in  our  faith  in  God  through 
religion. 

Man  will  receive  perfection  only"  when  he  receives  fully  the 
glory  of  which  he  has  been  made  heir  through  Christ,  so  the  work 
of  man  is  not  perfect.  MiUigan  has  faults  because  men  have  faults, 
and  the  reflection  of  MilUgan  whjch  others  see  is  brighter  when 
men  bring  God's  light  a  little  closer  to  the  mirror — the  mirror  in 
this  case  being  MUligan. 

The  imperfection  of  man  is  of  this  world,  but  man  has  come  to 
think  of  God  as  being  "above";  man,  in  the  image  of  God,  haa 
"high'i  ideals.  If  your  mind  is  set  on  God,  you  wiU  see  God;  if 
your  mind-is  set  on  the  things  of  this  world,  you  wiU  see  the  thinga 
of  this  world. 

Young' men  and  women  come  to  Milligan  hoping  to  find  God — 
but  they  have  their  eyes  on  the  ground.  They  cannot  see  God  be- 
cause they  are  watching  their  own  footsteps,  and  they  become  dis- 
couraged;-then  they  say  that  they  are  disappointed  in  MilUgan 
CoUege. 

But  -Milligan's  ideals  and  standards  are  of  God,  and  you  have 
but  to  look  up  to  find  them- 

When  are  YOU  going  to  look  up?       \ 


the  group/*ensembles.  Miss' Ruth 
White,  the  choir  director,  and 
herself  have,  to  be  distributed. 
Newspaper  articles  about  the 
tour  have  to  be  written,  and  pub- 
licity packets  consisting  of  twelve 
posters,  newspaper  articles,  and

churche^ 

Pages  an'd  pages  of  written  ma- 
terial would  inadequately  de- 
scribe the  life  of  Mary  Perry. 
Perhaps  this  one  statement  will 
summarize  her  life  into  a  vivid 
picture  for  a  life-like  personality 
to  those  who  do  not  personally 
know  her.  "She  Is  outstanding  in 
the  capacities  of  mental,  physical, 
social,  and  rcUgious  aspects  of 
her  life,  and  for  many  she  has 
become  the  'pattern  to  a  better 
life." 


Father:  "Now,  children,  tell  me 
who  has  been  the  most  obedient 
during  the  last  month  and  done 
everything  Mother  asked  them 
to  do?"

STEW 


SALTED  BY  BARBARA  WILLIAMS 

The  time  has  come  once  more  to  peek  into  Hardin.  Cheek,  Wei- 
aer's,  Hyder's  and- Pardee. 

The  very  nicest  news  from  Hardin  Is  the  return  of  Miss 
Velshimer.  She  was  greeted  by  a  big  "Welcome  Home"  sign  made 
y  two  industrious^'young  ladies  (who  will  remain  anonymous)  at 
rather  late — or  should  I  say  early — hour  (?) 

The  nation's  capitol  (that's  Washington.  D.  C. — not  Richmond) 
,'af.  graced  with  a  visit  from  five  Milligan  girls.  Hope,  Pat  Bonner. 
hirloy,  Lue,  and  Jane  (and  that  luscious  new  Ford  Victoria)  spent 
everal  days  seeing  the  historical  sights  and  making  history!  I  un- 
erstand  Washington  is  still  getting  over  the  shock!!! 

Not  to  be  outdone  by  the  Men  of  Pardee,  Julie  took  a  bunch 
f  girls  to  Indiana.  Nanc>'  Jo  Spears  and  the  Smith  sisters  (1  and  2) 
nade  the  journey  to  Hoosierland. 

Trips  seem  to  be  the  big  news  these  days.  The  Melodears  trio 
ifenl  to  Chattanooga  along  with  Jack  Pratt  (to  play  piano)  and 
'Iffi-FiBher  aa' speaker.  I  hear  thatthepeople  irf- thrf^Hi^hland  Park 
■^lly  loved  the  girls  and  Jim  and  that  they  did  a  fine  job.  The 
inly  thing  that  caused  a  stir  was  while  Pat  Roberts  was  searching 
ilhe  suitcases  for  the  bell  to  her  jumper  she  came  to  the  terrible 
'j'onclusion  that  not  only  had  she  forgotten  the  belt  but  the  jumper 

I' Is  well.  But  Jack  saved  the  day  by  running  through  the  neighbor- 
lood  to  find  one  charcoal  jumper, 
Now  let's  leave  Hardin  and  go  oh  down  the  road  to  Cheek.  As 
rjve  close  the  front  door  behind  us  we  hear  faintly  in  the  distance 
jhe  coughing  of  one  of  our  numerous  cold  victims,  the.  clatter  of 
;>ick-up-sticks,  and  John  Worrell  trying  to  make  a  financial  deal 
vi'h  his  opponents  in  a  Monopoly  game  !!! 

At  Check  they  are  having  very  unusual,  dorm  meetings.  The 
asl  one  they  had  the  girls  from  third  floor  came  dressed  in  some 
nifihty  weird  costumes.  Halloween  again,  ladies???  Poor  Rae  Fisher 
vas  the  victim  of  some  large  scale  water  throwing  as  she  went  up 
he  stairs  at  Cheek  blissfully  unaware  of  her  fate. 

The  Oheek-dwellers  had  a  birthday  part/  for  Barb  Fisher  and 
ihirley  Stacy.  Happy  Birthday,  girls!   (Better  late  than  never!) 

Congratulations  to  Rae  and  John  and  to  Ruth  and  Bill,  who 
ire  the  latest  "steadies." 

Up  the  hill  a  bit  to  the  Weimer  domain  where  all  are  anxiously 
(Waiting  Spring  Vacation.  (So,  who  isn't???) 

Jan  spent  four  days  chasing  a  mouse  in  her  room.  After  using 
ivery  good  and  scientific  method  of  mouse  hunting  she  met  with 
rurprising  results — the  mouse  got  away.  Hope  Ona  had  luck  with 

Jack  Pratt's  mother  sent  a  chicken  to  him  -and  he  put  it  in 
he  refrigerator  at  Ona's.  One  has  no'  idea  how  quickly  a  chicken 
!an  disappear  when  left  in  Ona's  refrigerator.  It  had  just  been  rest- 
ng  there  a  short  time  when  Argie  Lee,  Jan,  Bill  Lewis,  Ona  and 
fack  had  themselves  a  delicious  chicken  supper. 

Now  to  Hyder's.  Well,  how  about  that?  I  walked  up  on  the 
)orch  and  knocked  at  the  door  and  waited  very  patiently— nobody 
lome.  Better  luck  next  time. 

Wonder  if  there  will  be  anyone  at  home  at  Pardee,  I'here 
isually  is — 

Yep,  we  are  here  .  .  .  which  inspires  me  to  write  those  immortal

On  February  25  the  Pre-Med  Club  had  its  annual  banquet  for 
members  and  their  guests  at  the  Roan  Restaurant. 


little  odd.  For  example:  "Fresh- 
men, shall  remain  seated  in  cha- 
pel while  the  upperclassmen  and 
faculty  pass  out."  I  wonder  if 
the  freshmen  ever  tried  to  speed 
up  the  coming  of  unconscious- 
ness which  allowed  them  to 
move.  It  would  seem  that  fresh- 
men didn't  last  very  long  in 
those  days.  Another  rule  states: 
"Freshmen  shall  '  wear  green 
caps  from  first  of  school  until 
Thanksgiving  day,  when  they 
will  be  disposed  of  at  a  cere- 
mony." And  lastly,  this  gem: 
"Freshmen  are  not.  allowed  to 
stand    or    sit    on   the    cannon,"

SPRING  IN  THE  AIR? 


WHAT.  A  ROCKETl? 


ANNUAL  PICTURE  TIME 


IT'S   ABOUT   TIME! 


The  Red  Menace 

When  wUl  it  strike?  Where 
will  it  strike?  Who  will  it 
strike?  Nobody  knows  .  .  .  ex- 
cept HIM! 

Lurking  in  some  mysterious 
place  on  the  Milligan  campus  is 
the  RED  MENACE. 

What  .is  it?  No  one  seems  to 
know,  except  that  it  comes  in 
various  sizes  an<f  shades  of  red 
(different  species;  some  would 
call  them). 

Where  "did  it  come  from?  No 
one  knows  that,  either;  but  the 
suspicion  is  that  it  was  smuggled 
in  around  Christmas  time  one 
year  a  long  time  ago. 

The  REX)  MENACE  is  highly 
dangerous,  but  seems  to  concen- 
trate on  students.  An  attack  re- 
sults in  increased  blood  pressure, 
a  high  degree  of  perspiration, 
and  a  drop  in  the  morale  of  the 
student. 

It  has  been  seen  many  places  in 
the  Milligan  area,  but  has  so  far 
restricted  its  mischievous  bo- 
havior  to  the  college  Adminis- 
tration Building.  It  is  known  to 
love  animals  and  tends  to  be 
quite  a  cut-up  when  in  their 
company. 

Freshmen  are  more  frequent- 
ly the  victims  of  these  attacks  by 
the  RED  MENACE,  but  upper- 
clansmen  have  been  known  to 
come  under  its  spell  also. 

Will  you  be  one  of  the  next 
victims?  Let's  hope  not.  Take  all 
nccessarj'  precautions  when  in 
the  Administration  Building  area 
.  .  .  safety  bolt,  dark  glassse,  as- 
bc-stos  suit,  fire  helmet,  and 
baseball  gloVe  are  vital  for  de- 
fense against  the  RED  MENACE. 
One  encouraging  word  ...  if 
you're  out  of  its  class,  you're 
safe.

THE     STAMPEDE 


Friday.  March  16,  1956 


STAMPEDE 
SPORTS  SECTION 

JIM  CROUCH,  Sporl!  Editor 

BUFFALO 

RAMBLINCS    Spo^s  At  MUUgan  , 
With  Jim  Crouch         Basketball  Poelry  . 


Basketball  is  over.  Baseball  and  tennis  have  not  yet  begun.  In 
the  present  liril,  perhaps  it  will  be  well  tg  discuss  the  sports  aspect 
here.  Although  Miiligan  College's  athletic  program  is  not  subsidized, 
there  is  definitely  a  purpose  in  that  program.  What  is  this  purpose? 
Let  me  first  point  out  that  aJI  things  at  Milligan  College  are  in 
keeping  with  the  ideal  that  Christian  education  is  the  hope  of  the 
world.  If  one  is  to  find  the  purpose  of  the  athletic  program  here, 
he  must  look  for' it  along  this -line;  for  if  there  is  no  contribution 
made  by  sports  to  the  preparation  for  Jife.  then  there  is  no  purpose 
in  such  a  program.  Professionabathletes  offer  much  better  enter- 
tainment. In  searching  for  the  purpose  of  athletics  at  Milligan  Col-' 
lege,  I  can  find  no  beUer  way  of  expressing  my  feelings  on  the 
subject,  than  to  repeat  a  portion  of  thts  column  from  the  September 
16.  1955,  issue  of  the  STAMPEDE, 

"what  is  there  about  sports  which  made  them  an  integral  part 
at  Milligan?  Is  an  athletic  program  such  as  ours  carried  on  just  for 
the  entertainment  of  the  spectators?  Do  athletics  train  and  discip- 
line .themselves  for  months  juat  for  the  fiin  of  it?"  There  are  other 
means  of  entertainment-  ITiere  are  easier  ways  of  having  fun.  Does 
a  boy  play  just  for  the  sake  of  his  health''  If  that  is  the  case,  why 
not  just  do  calisthenics  for  an  hour  a  day^and  do  away  with  com- 
petitive sports? 

"There  is  the  answer  to  my  question.  It  is  found  in  the  com- 
petitive aspect  of  the  sport.  For.  you  see.  life  is  a  game.  All  the 
joys  and  sorrows,  happiness  and  defeats  found  in  the  sports  world 
will  be  met— just  on  a  larger  scale— in  the  game  of  life.  If  I  may, 
I  would  like  to  pass  on  a  thought  set  forth  by  Jack  Kofoed,  column- 
ist and  feature  writer  for  the  Miami  Herald?  in  his  Book  Thrills  in 
Sporls,  "In  the  process  of  getting  away  from  ourselves  .  .  .  uncount- 
ed millions  have  found  the  supreme  stimulant  in  sport:  It  holds  the 
thrill  of  the  battlefield  ...  the  romance  of  the  stage  .  .  .  -the  ambi- 
tion, joy  and  sorrow  of  life  itself.' 

"The  job  in  life  is  not  to  get  ahead  of  those  about  you,  but 
ahead  of  yourself.  What  keeps  the  athletfe  "hustling"  is  not  to  beat 
the  other  frtlow,  but  to  beAt  his  own  record.  In  every  contest  there 
must  be  a  loser.  We  should  play  to  win,  not  to  beat." 

Since  basketball  season  is  over  for  another  year,  I  will  close 
with  this  "authentic"  account  of  the  origin  of  that  great  sport. 

"The  gods  of  war  one  night  for  pleasure 
While  resting  at  their  ease  and  leisure. 
Wondering  what  to  do  when  there's  no  war. 
Dec+ded  that  instead  of  lighting 
Dubious  wrongs  like  knights,  a-righting. 
They'd  like  to  watch  some  others  fight  a  war. 

"So  they  watched  the  mortals  battling. 

Listened  to  their  weapons  rattling, 

As  they  killed  each  other  off  in  war. 

Fighting,  fighting,  always  fighting. 

And  seldom  any  wrongs  a-righting. 

Till  the  gods  themselves  grew  weary  of  war. 

"Then  they  pondered  and  heated, 
And  they  thought  and  meditated. 
And  their  brains  responded  to  the  call. 
'  So  at  last:  they  all  con^nted. 

Let  a  new  game  be  invented 
A  new  game  to  be  known  as  basketball, 

"And  thus  It  came  about  to  pass 
That  basketball  was  bom  at  last. 
Little  did  they  dream  what  was  in  store. 
They  couldn't  see  beyond  the  present, 
They  had  brains  just  like  a  peasant, 
I  Even  though  they  were  the  gods  of  war. 

t  "How  could  they  foretell  the  future? 

To  them  a  stitch  was  like  a  suture, 

In  those  dim,  dead  days  beyond  recall. 

Could  they  but  see  just  what  was  coming, 

While  their  busy  busy  brains  were  humming. 
I  We  might  not  even  know  of  basketball. 

"Those  gods  don't  know  how  much  they  started. 
They  thought  the  game  would  be  lighthearted. 
They  didn't  know  how  victors  we'd  adore. 
To  them  the  thought  would  be  quite  funny, 
To  see  us  paying  so  much  money — 
But  to  us  the' game's  as  serious  as  war. 

"Now  here  we  are.  our  voices  hoarse. 

Too  much  cheering-  No  remorse 

When  one  team  beats  the  other  to  the  floor 

For  each  victor>''s  in  vain. 

There'll  always  be  another  game, 

When  the  other  team  might  conquer  with  a  roar. 

"Ah,  alas,  alack — hooray! 
Basketball  is  here  today.      • 
'  And — as  in  those  glorious  days  of  yore. 

Though  mortals  have  advanced  much  further 
Basketball  is  strictly  murder — 
_  Maybe  better  wc  should  have  a  war?

MILUGAN  COLLEGE,  TENNESSEE,  FRIDAY,  MAY  18,  1956 


NO.  8 


Milligan  Celebrates  "Diamond  Anniversary"  May  Day 


Feafher,  Payne 
To  Head  1956-'57 
Stampede  Staff 

Helen  "Dink"  Feather  and 
A,rgie  Lee  Payne  have  been  elect- 
ed editor  and  business  manager, 
wspectively,  of  the  1956-'57 
STAMPEDE  staff.  Both  girls 
lave  been  active  on  the  paper 
Lhis  year,  and  their  selection 
:ame  as  no  great  surprise  to 
those  acquainted  with  their  work 
and  interest  in  this  year's  STAM- 
PEDE. 

The  new  editor  replaces  Phil 
Bradford,  who  has  done  a  com- 
mendable job  in  editing  the  pa- 
per for  two 'years.  "Dink"  is  a  na- 
live  of  Kentucky,  Corbin,  no  less. 
Her  high  school  record  is  itself 
an  outstanding  recommendation. 
A.S  a  sophomore,  she  wrote  for 
the  school  paper,  as  a  junior  she 
ivas  associate  editor,  and  during 
tier  senior  year  she  served  as  edi- 
tor. Other  positions  filled  by  this 
;apable  journalist  were  special 
:orrespondent  to  the  National 
Student  Press,  press  representa- 
;ive  for  her  high  school  at  the 
State  Youth  Assembly  in  Frank- 
fort, Kentucky,  and  assistant 
editor  of  her  school's  annual.  In 
addition,  "Dink"  was  senior  class 
president  and  valedictorian.  Dur- 
ing her  freshman  year  here  at 
Milligan  she  has  been  the  STAM- 
PEDE'S dependable  front-page 
editor.  This  brief  sketch  of 
"Dink's"  high  school  accomplish- 
ments partially  reveals  the  ca- 
pabilities inherent  in  her. 

The  STAMPEDE'S  new  busi- 
ness manager  hails  from  Swan 
Quarter,  North  Carolina.  Argie 
Lee  also  has  a  fine  high  school 
record,  having  served  as  art  edi- 
tor of  her  school  paper  for  all 
four  years,  and  as  art  editor  for 
the  annual  during  her  junior  and 
senior  years.  Also  in  her  senior 
year  Argie  Lee  was  secretary  of 
her  class,  Last  year  she  attended 
Roanoke  Bible  College  at  Roan- 
oke, North  Carolina.  This  year 
as  a  sophornore  at  Milligan  her 
activity  as  a  reporter  for  the 
STAMPEDE  has  been  well 
known.  A  friendly  manner  and 
an  unquenchable  energy  are  two 
liltributea  certain  to  make  for 
Argie  Lee's  success  as  the  new 
STAMPEDE  business  manager. 

It   is   with  confidence  that  we 
I  view    the    coming      school      year

SHOWN  ABOVE  are  Don  Williams  and  Margaret  Jane  Smithson,  who  reigned  Saturday,  May  12, 
as  the  King  and  Queen  of  the  1958  Milligan  College  May  Day.  This  royal  pair,  both  Seniors,  are 
active  in  many  college  activities,  and  certainly  deserved  this  honor  accorded  them  by>  the  stu- 
dents of  Milligan.   Congratulations  to  King  Don  and  Queen  Margaret  Janel        (Photo  by  Ivanoff) 

JIM  KOHLS  AND  SCOTT  BARTCHY  WILL  HEAD

The  balloting  is  over  ...  the 
votes  have  been  cast  .  .  .  the  stu- 
dents' question  "Who  are  they?" 
has  been  answered  .  .  ,  the  1956- 
'57  President  and  Vice-  President 
of  the  Student  Council  have  been 
announced. 

Days  of  zealous  campaigning 
are  ended.  For  weeks  the  Milli- 
gan students  saw  campaign  signs 
facing  them  on  all  sides.  In  the 
cafeteria,  the  parlors  of  Hardin 
and  Pardee,  and  the  Administra- 
tion Building  were  signs  reading: 
"When  you  go  to  the  polls,  vote 
for  Kohls."  "To  get  ahead,  vote 
for  'Red'.  "Hoot  mon,  it's  Scott 
Bartchy  for  Veep."  "Check  this 
for  Ron  Spotts  for  Vice-  Presi- 
dent." 

Then  came  the  designated  day 
tor  registering  to  vote.  Diligently 
the  students  signed  the  paper 
which  granted  to  them  the  privi- 
lege of  voting  for  the  candidate 
of  their  choice. 

Who  are  they?  The  student 
body's  majority  ot  votes  went  to 
Jim  Kohls,  who  will  be  a  senior 
next  year;  Scott  Bartchy  who 
will  be  R  junior  next  year,  was 
L-lected  Vice-President.  Their  of- 
ficial duties  will  begin  In  the 
195G  fall  term  of  school. 

Since  Jim  and  Scott  w^ere 
elected  to  hold  these  high  posi- 
tions, it  was  only  fitting  and 
proper  that  they  be'  intervncwed 
BO  the  student  body  might  have 
a  brief  summary  of  their  accom- 
plishments in  college  thus  far. 

Jim's  major  is  religion,  with 
minors  in  .psychology  and  social 
science.  He  is  very  active  in 
church   Work   and  has   preached 


at  the  First  Christian  Churches 
in  Jonesboro,  Erwin,  and  Eliza- 
bethton.  He  has  also  preached 
at  Hopwood,  Hammon's  Chapel, 
Boone's  Creek,  Elk  Mills,  and 
Union.  He  will  be  assistant  min- 
ister of  the  First  Church  in  Er- 
win  beginning  the  1956-57  school 
year. 

For  intervals  of  one  to  two 
years  he  has  been  a  member  of 
the  Christian  Service  Club,  Phy- 
sldal  Education  Club,  and  So- 
cial Science  Club.  For  two  years, 
he  has  been  a  member  of  the 
track  team  and  managed  base- 
ball. Jim  is  a  member  of  the 
Ministerial    Association    also. 

His  speaking  ability  has  been 
exemplified  when  he  was  master 
of  ceremonies  at  the  Valentine 
Party,  Sports  King  event,  and 
the  Junior  Carnival. 

Jim's  responsibilities  as  Presi- 
dent of  the  Student  Council  will 
include  presiding  over  the  meet- 
ings, executing  policies  determin- 
ed by  the  Student  Council,  ap- 
[Minting  all  committees,  making 
reports  provided  for  by  the 
Council's  Constitution,  organiz- 
ing the  freshman  class  of  1956- 
'57,  presiding  over  the  Judicial 
Board,  presenting  all  petitions  to 
the  College  President,  and  acting 
as  commissioner  of  elections. 

One  of  the  reporters  for  the 
STAMPEDE  asked  Jim  if  ho 
wished  to  make  any  comments 
concerning  hi?  election  as  Presi- 
dent; and  Jim  replied,  "I  am 
deeply  honored  by  the  privilege 
to  sen,'o  the  students  of  Milligan 
as  President  of  the  student  body. 
You  honored  me  greatly  by  nomi- 


nating me.  However,  I  was  humb- 
led even  more  by  the  returns  of 
the  elect! orL  I  extend  my  sincere 
appreciation  to  all  who  partici- 
pated in  the  election. 

I  think  my  opponent  ran  a  very 
honorable  race. 

I  propose  with  the  .,  assistance 
of  God  that  I  will  be  able  to  ful- 
fill the  position  for  which  I  have 
been  chosen — with  the  greatest 
amount  of  understanding,  sin- 
cerity, and  ever  holding  high  the 
ideals  of  Christian  education." 

Jim  also  said  that  he  extended 
personal  "thank  you's"  to  his  two 
campaign  managers,  John  Wor- 
rell and  Barbara  Scott,  and  to 
their  committee.  His  apprecia- 
tion was  also  extended  to  anyone 
else  who  helped  in  unofficial  ca- 
pacity. 

Scott  Bartchy's  major  is  re- 
ligion, with  minors  in  Greek  and 
history.  During  his  stay  at  Mil- 
ligan, Scott  has  demonstrated 
various  talents  and  abilities.  He 
is  now  serving  as  assistant  min- 
ister at  the  Volley  Forge  Chris- 
tian Church.  He  has  held  this 
position    since    January    1955. 

Appearing  on  "Moments  With 
Milligan,"  the  college's  weeldy 
television  program,  Scott  has 
given  of  his  talents  as  a  pianist 
and  singer.  Last  year  he  was  a 
member  of  the  freshman  choir, 
and  he  now,  takes  his  place  as  a 
member  of  the  concert  choir  of 
the  college. 

Scott   has    participated    In   the 

field  of  sports  as  a  member  d 

the  track  team  for  two  years.  He 

is  also  a  member  of  the  Harmon-

College's  75t-h 
Year  Celebrated 
In  Song,  Dance 

At  two  o'clock  in  the  aftemooa 
on  May  12,  1956,  the  time  arrived 
when  the  annual  May  Day  pro- 
gram was  presented-  This  event 
has  been  looked  forward  to  each 
year  with  a  rising  anticipation  aa 
the  months  pass.  To  most  Milli- 
gan students,  the  month  of  May 
means  near  .  completion  of  an 
eventful  school  year  with  a  color- 
ful occasion  close  at  hand,  tha 
May  Day. 

The  month  of  May  brought 
with  it  this  special  occasion  just 
as  it  has  done  in  previous  years^ 
After  weeks  ^f  vigorous  practice, 
vjirious  students  presented  a. 
spectacular  program  of  tmiquft 
ideas. 

Every  year  a  suitable  theme  ia 
selected,  and  the  May  Day  pre- 
sentation is  built  around  the 
theme.  "Our  Diamond  Anniver* 
sary  Albiun''  was  chosen  for 
this  year's  theme. 

After  the  entrance  of  the  May 
court  and  the  crowning  of  the 
queen,  Margaret  Jane  Smithsoi^ 
and  the  king,  Don  Williams,  en- 
tertainment for  the  royal  pair 
was  presented  by  various  stu- 
dents as  they  stepped  through 
diamond-shaped  frames. 

Six  dancing  jeweb  ushered  ia 
the  court  in  a  colorful,  unforget- 
able  way.  The  king  and  queen 
were  presented  with  four  beauti^ 
ful  gifts. 

The  May  Day  presentation  fea- 
tured dances  as  far  back  in  the 
generations  when  grandma-. did- 
the  '3room  Drill";  and  mom  and 
pop  cut  loose  with  the  "Charles- 
ton." The  final  phase  featured 
daughter  and  son  in  the  very 
latest  of  transportation  and  mu- 
sic. 

These  changes  in  music,  psysl- 
cal  education,  and  transportBtjon 
during  Milligan's  se\-enty-fivft 
years  as  an  educational  institu- 
tion imparted  a  memorable  pic* 
ture  to  each  person  attending  the 
annual  occasion. 

And  finally,  from  a  large  jewel 
box  came  a  part  of  the  program 
which  warmed  the  hearts  of  all 
— precious  gems  of  tradition 
which  Milligan  itself  has  pro- 
duced during  the  years  were 
shone  forth. 

l-he  "Alma  Mater"  added  the 
final  touch  of  Milligan  spirit  be*

THE     STAMPEDE 


Friday  M>y  18,  1956 


lEIDIirCICIAIL 
lEirCIHINSJf 

„  By  PHIL  BRADFORD 


The  shade  is  about  nine-tenths  of  the  way  down  on  an- 
other nine-month  year,  and  what  have  YOU  accomplished? 

It  is  good  to  evaluate  your  experience,  so  far  as  the  chaff 
may  be  separated  from  the  wheat,  the  unprofitable  from  the 
profitable.  -  " ' 

I  myself  am  thinking  in  terms  of  what  I  might  have  done 
with  and  for  the  STAMPEQE.  We  have  just  about  had  it 
for  this  year  unless  sopieone  can  dig  up  quite  a  few  spare 
hours  in  which  to  publish  another  edition  of  t^e  STAMPEDE. 

As  a  matter  of  fact,  part  of  the  reason  that  I  am  writing 
this  editorial  now  is  the  doubtfulness  of  the  issuance  of  an- 
other STAMPEDE  this  year,  (the  other  part  of  the  reason  be- 
ing the  lack  of  mental  material  in  my  meandering,  maltreated 
mentality.) 

Just  the  other  day- 1  was  cleaning  out  a  stack  of  unim- 
portant-looking mail  on  my  well-fiUed  desk  when  I  happened 
upon  a  small  manlla  envelope.  The  finding  of  such  an  item 
is  nothing  unusual,  for  I  find  many  of  them  on  desk  at  vari- 
ous times.  But  this  paiticular  envelope  was  addressed  to  me 
(which  is  unusual),  and  it  was  marked  "Important!"  (which 
is  even  more  unusual).  I  suppose  it  was  important  in  a  way, 
for  it  started  my  thinking  along  this  line,  and  thus  provided 
me  with  an  editorial 

Inside  the  envelope  was  a  nine  by  six  inch  booklet  .with 
the  title,  '"Newspaper  Guidebook,"'  the  content  of  which  was, 
in  the  main,  an  evaluation  of  the  four  STAMPEDES  publish- 
ed last  fall,  which  I  had  hopefully  sent  in  to  the  Associated 
Collegiate  Press  for  their  critical  service.  When  I  had  filled 
out  the  form  for  ftiis  critical  service,  I  had  marked  the  box 
for  a  monthly  publication  in  a  school  of  any  enrollment,  for 
It  was  the  lowest  category  and  the  one  which  came  the  closest 
to  classifying  the  STAMPEDE.  Our  work  (that's  an  editorial 
"our")  has  been  so  irregular  that  the  STAMPEDE  couldn't 
even  be  classified  as  a  monthly. 

This  critical  service  offered  by  the  Associated  Collegiate 
Press  is  a  non-cotnpetitive  evaluation  of  the  student  news- 
paper, providing  newspaper  staffs  with  the  opportunity  to 
see  their  mistakes  and  to  correct  them.  The  scores  for  the 
STAMPEDE  were  little  better  than  average,  which  is  more 
than  I  had  expected  in  the  light  of  the  conditions  under  which 
we  have  been  working  (that's  what  is  called  "rationalization"). 

From  what  little  investigation  1  have  made,  it  seems  to 
me'that  the  publication  of  the  STAMPEDE  has  almost  always 
been  sporadic  .  .  .  sometimes  good,  sometimes  not  so  good, 
and  sometimes  hardly  at  all.  I'm  afraid  that  this  year's  STAM- 
PEDE has  been  just  a  little  more  more  often  than  "hardly 
at  all." 

I  suppose  that  this  may  seem  like  an  apology,  and, 
in  a  way,  it  is,  for  Milligan  deserves  a  better  newspaper  than 
she  has.  But  a  better  newspaper  is  only  one  of  the  many 
things  which  Milligan  needs,  and  maybe  it  will  come  with 
time. 

What  can  start  the  ball  rolling  is  the  establishment  of  a 
well-defined  journalism  department  with  the  backing  of  ex- 
perience. This  would  entail  a  class  from  which  the  newspaper 
staff  would  be  able  to  function.  The  establishment  of  such  a 
department  would  bring  about  better  organization,  which  had 
been  noticably  lacking  in  the  STAMPEDE  under  my  editor- 
ship. 

This  lack  of  organization  makes  the  publication  of  the 
STAMPEDE  too  much  of  a  one-person  responsibility,  and  I 
feel  sorry  for  anyone  who  has  the  job  (including  myself.) 

As  I  said  before,  this  need  may  be  filled  in  time,  along 
with  many  other  needs  which  burden  Milligan. 

I  have  not  been  able  to  give  all  of  what^ittle  I  kno\* 
about  journalism  because  of  a  small  item  in  my  schedule  gen- 
erally known  as  studying,  and  if  what  has  come  off  the 
presses  has  been  in  any  way  satisfactory,  it  is  no  fault  of 
mine. 

This  Isn't  even  a  good  editorial  .  .  .  it's  an  apology,  a  com- 
plaint, and  a  hope  for  better  things  to  come. 

But  is  isn't  all  bad,  for  I  have  the  faith  that  these  "bet- 
ter things"  will  come,  and  that  STAMPEDE  editors  in  the 
future  won't  find  it  necessary  to  write  editorials  like  this. 

Don't  Guess.  Look  For  The  Answer! 


ECHOES  FROM 
ELSEWHERE 

By  DALE  ALDRIDGE 

U  anyone  has  a  passion  for  pre- 
senting gifts  to  exchange  editors, 
I'll  take  a  gadget  for  -removing 
staples  from  newspapers.  After 
I  finally  ^et  the  staples  out  of  a 
newspaper,  the  paper  is  so  torn 
up  that  I  can  hardly  see  to  copy 
the  wordage  which  makes  up 
this  column.  Just  a  small,  nickel- 
plated  staple- taker- outer  would 
be  a  wonderful  gift  for  a  finger- 
nail-less exchange  editor. 

The  first  quote  of  fifty-four 
words  from  a  remarkably  well- 
preserved  paper — the  Appalachi- 
an of  Appalachian  State  Teachers 
College  in  Boone,  North  Caro- 
lina. 

"The  chief  strode  into  the 
foc'sle  and  shouted.  'O.  K.  you 
lazy,  halfwitted  jerks,  muster  on 
deck  on  the  double!' 

"The  men  grabbed  their  hats 
and  mustered — all  except  one, 
who  lay  in  his  bunk  blowing 
smoke  rings, 

"  'Well!'  roared  the  chief. 

"  'Well,'  said  the  sailor,  'there 
certainly  were  a  lot  of  them, 
weren't  there?" 

The  Highland  Echo  of  neigh- 
boring Maryville  College  comes 
wrapped  up  conveniently  in"  a 
piece  of  paper  with  no  staples. 
One  issue  contained  this  remark 
which  someone  overheard:  "Fat? 
Why,  she's  fat  in  places  where 
most  girls  don't  have  places." 

A  student  at  Union  Collegej  re- 
ports the  Orange  and  Black,  ask- 
ed his  professor  for  the  afternoon 
off  to  go  on  a  shopping  tour  with 
his  wife. 

Professor:    "No," 

Stud^t:,  "Thanks,  _very  much." 

Here  Is  a  "third-hand"  quote 
from  the  Highland  Echo:  "Am  I 
the  first  guy  to  ever  kiss  you?" 

"Of  course,  silly,  and  why  do 
all  you  guys  ask  the  same  thing?" 

Just  by  reading  jokes  in  the 
GrapuTchat  of  Radford  College, 
Virginia.  I  can  tell  that  the  col- 
lege is  populated  only  by  women. 
Why?  Read  the  following  fillers 
which  I  have  lifted  from  only 
one   issue  of  the  Giapurchat: 

1.  It  isn't  tying  himself  to  one 
woman  that  a  man  dreads  when 
he  thinks  of  marriage:  it's  sep- 
arating himself  from  all  the  oth- 
ers. * 

2.  A  little  boy  asked  his  mother 
this  question:  "If  the  Lord  gives 
us  our  daily  bread,  and  Santa 
Claus  brings  the  Christmas  pres- 
ents, and  the  stork  brings  the 
babies,  then  what  Is  the  use  of 
having  Daddy  around?" 

3.  it  may  be  true  that  there  is 
a  sanctuary  in  a  man's  heart  that 
only  one  woman  can  fill,  but 
there  are  several  ante-rooms  that 
are  seldom  vacant. 

So  here  is  a  rebuttal  which  I 
have  taken  from  the  Adraaco  of 
Hiram  College,  Hiram,  Ohio.  It 
is  titled  "She": 

She  doesn't  wink. 
She  doesn't  flirt. 

She  tells  no  gossip, 
Spreads  no  dirt; 

She  has  no  line, 

.    She  plttys  no  tricks. 

But  give  her  time, 
She's  only  six! 

The  Dniry  Mirror  of  Dniry  Col- 
lege, Springfield,  Missouri,  re- 
lates a  Drury  student's  answer  to 
a  sophomore  exam  question: 
"What  has  been  Iho  principal 
contribut,ion  of  the  automobile 
ago?"  Answer:  "It  has  practically 
stopped  horse  stealing." 

With  that  brilliant  obsor\'atioTV 
this  column  abruptly  stops. 


"Draffee"  Teachers  Would  Fill 
Positions,  Not  Needed  Soys  Editor 


(ACP)— John  Fischer,  the  editor 
of  Harper's,  has  advocated  that 
young  women  be  drafted  to  teach 
in  the  public  schools  to  solve  the 
teacher  shortage.  The  editors  of 
the  Aiibum  Plainsman  printed 
this  guest  editorial  from  the 
Florida  Flambeau  in  reply  to 
Fischer's  proposal; 

In  the  current  issue  of  Har- 
per's editor  John  Fischer  advo- 
cates the  diafting  pf  young  wom- 
en to  teach  in  the  public  schools, 

There  is  a  precedent  in  Selec- 
tive Service,  by  which  young 
men  are  drafted  to  answer  the 
military  emergency,  Fischer 
writes.  As  to  education,  "The 
emergency  is  plain  enough  and 
nobody  else  has  yet  come  up  with 
a  feasible  idea  for  meeting  it," 
he  argues, 

"It  should  not  be  impossible  to 
work  out  a  practical  -scheme  for 
drafting  women  college  grad- 
uates for  a  six-month  course  in 
basic  training  for  teaching,  plus 
eighteen  months'  service  in  the 
schools.  Such  a  system  would 
not,  of  course,  produce  lirst-rate 
teachers — but  second-rate  teach- 
ers are  better  than  nc^ne  at  all. 
And,  like  the  Army,  the  Teaching 
Draft    Boards   prestmiably    would 


select  the  best  fitted  girls  and 
take  only  enough  to  fill  a  given 
quo^a?" 

Is  some  education  indeed  bet- 
ter than  none?  We  wonder.  What 
could  be  the  effects  up>on  young 
people  exposed  to  unwilling,  hos- 
tile, resentful,  and  frustrated 
draftees?  1'here'd  be  no  control 
unless  the  system  were  made  as 
rigid  andv  arbitrary  as  the  mili- 
tary. 

But  we  submit  that  the  answ- 
er to  the  drastic  shortage  of  teach- 
ers lies  not  in  force  of  persua- 
sion, but  in  the  elevation  of  the 
teacher  to  the  dignity  he  should 
possess. 

Teachers'  salaries  may  have 
risen,  but  not  in  comparison  with 
those  paid  in  other  walks  of  life. 
The  teacher,  according  to  recent 
and  exhaustive  reports,  occupies 
a  less  favorable  economic  posi- 
tion than  he  did  some  years  ago.  ' 
Not  only  in  wealth  does  he  or 
she  suffer.  We  treat  our  teachers 
like  glorified  baby-sitters.  And 
this  type  of  treatment,  this 
negligence  in  matters  of  salary, 
is  hardly  calculated  to  draw  in- 
to the  profession  those  whom  it 
needs. 

To  quote  one  of  our  professors, 

"A  teacher  must  want  to  teach." 


Milligan  May 
Day  Traditional 

By  VIRGINIA  HARRIS 
As  nearly  as  I  can  guess.  May 
Day  was  first  established  in  1931, 
I  can  on]y  hazard  a  guess  at  this, 
as  I  could  not  find  any  record  to 
back  up  the  assumption.  How- 
ever, I  did  find  in  a  March  issue 
of  the  STAMPEDE  in  1933  that 
it  had  been  a  feature  at  Milligan 
for  two  years,  and  I  quote:  "One 
of  the  charming  features  of,  MU- 
ligan's  social  life  has  been,  for 
the  past  two  years,  a  May  Festi- 
val," Thus  my  assumption  that 
the  tradition  was  established  in 
1931. 

The  first  ^May  Day  program  of 
which  there  is  a  record  took 
place  in  1932.  They  chose  as  their 
theme  Hawthorne's  "Maypole  of 
Merrymount,"  In  1933  the  theme 
was  an  adaptation  of  Brownings- 
"Pippa  Passes,"  In  1941  Shake- 
speare's play  within  a  play, 
Pyramus  and  Thisbe  was  pre- 
sented. 

In  1948,  our  own  Carolyn  and 
Duard  Walker  were  queen  and 
king  of  May  Day.  They  were  the 
"Roving  Royalty"  and  visited 
different  sections  of  the  United 
States  in  make-believe.  Their 
trip  included  a  piano  recital  at 
Carnegie  Hall,  a  stage  show,  and' 


a  -tiallet  recital  going  from  New 
York  to  the  West  Coast  where 
they  visited  a  ranch.  From  the 
west  they  went  South,  encounter- 
ing a  caravan  of  gypsies 
on  the  way.  After  arriving  in  the 
South,  they  visited  a  plantation. 

In  1951  the  story  of  the  history 
of  Tennessee  was  presented.  In 
1953  "Memories'  of  the  Old 
South"  was  chosen  as  the  theme. 
In  1954  the  theme  was,  "Lovers 
Through   the  Ages." 

Last  year  the  theme  was  "Over 
the  Rainbow."  It  was  divided  up 
into  six  parts — each  representing 
a  color  of  the  rainbow.  Red  was 
the  pixies;  orange — the  scare- 
crows; yellow — a  solo  number; 
green — the  tumbling  class;  blue 
— the  blue-bells;  and  purple — a 
modem  dance. 

Traditionally  May  Day  is  a  day 
of  dancing,  singing,  and  genera) 
festivity.  This  year  was  no  excep- 
tion. Since  this  was  the  sevent>--

MILLIGAN 
STEW 


II  (SALTED  BY  BAHBAHA  WILLIAMS) 

:!'here'H  a  familiar  cry  that  rings  through  the  halls  of  Hardin — 
SPRING!!!  And  truer  words  were  never  screamed — er-  I  mean 
n.  Ever  since  the  return  from  Spring  Vacation  of  the  Herdin- 
Ithat  greatest  of  all  seasons  has  been  on  its  way  and  is  finally 
This,  of  course,  is  obviously  due  to  the  fact  that  tlie  sun 
|.  is  full  of  hopeful  tan-seekers. 

;tuffy  is  thankful  that  Spring  is  here — 'specially  since  she  had 
itor  from   Uncle  Sam's  Army.   Also  Nancy  Joe  Spears  had   a 

■her  brother. 

lappy  Birthday  to  Roxy  and  "Shep,"  who  were  given  parties 
,e  7th  and  26th  of  April  respectively. 

Jo  Jong  trips  have  been  taken  lately  y/ith  exception  of  Lue 
Shirley,  who  went  to  Haysi  with  Jane. 

guess  the  most  obvious  sign  that  Spring  is  approaching  is  the 
of  wedding  plans  heard  in  the  air  Liz  is  the  first  to  be  a  bride 
lummer,  foUowedi  closely  by  Diane  Walker.  All  brides  are  beau- 
and  certainly  the  June  bride  of  Jerry  Wagner  will  be  no  ex- 
jnl  Here's  a  wish  for  much  happiness  from  the  girls  of  Hardin 
Hossom"  and  Jerry.  I  hear  that  Donim  Lynn  is  declaring  Aug- 
1-  a  national  holiday.  Wonder  why???  All  this  talk  about  wed- 
reminds  me  to  offer  congratulations  clear  to  Texas  to  Tom 
and  awish'  of  many  happy  years  to  Libby  and  Tom.  That  sure 
ring — but  I'm  told  everything  is  bigger  in  Texas. 
Vlth  May  Day  past,  the  Steak  Fry  over,  and  comprehensives 
ill  swing  it  seems  like  another  year  is  drawing  to  a  close — 
jh  it  hardly  seems  possible. 

This  report  from  Yours  Truly  has  been  called  many  things — 
year  I  believe  it  will  be  "Screams  from  Sutton"!!  Well,  its 
rent,  anyway. 

;ts  time  I  wander  down  the  road  to  Cheek.  I  hear  from  a  very 
ale  source  that  Rae  Fisher  has  become  a  perfume  taster.  How 
ou  like  it,  Rae?? 

also  understand  that  the  track  team  has  a  new  member,,  Jo 
ips  was  seen  jumping  the  hurdles  recently.  Way  to  go,  Jo,  One 
I't  see  too  many  female  hurdle- jumpers  around. 
roAime  Cardwell  had  company  over  the  weekend  of  the  28th 
pril.  Her  mother  and  dad  came  tp.  pay  a  visit  Also,  theFishers 
•tained  their  brother  recently.  Oddly  enough  everyone  thought 
as  a  double  tot  John  Hall!!!  How  about  that!! 
seems  like  Louise  Snyder  has  found  her  a  V.  P.  I.   graduate. 
se  isn't  seen  too  much  on  weekends  anymore. 
A.t  the  Weimer  household  the  sunbathing  bug  has  hit.  Every- 
comparcs  bums  each  night.  Two  of  the  Weimer  irunates  spent 
week-end  sunning,  swimming,  sleeping,  laughing  and  eating  in 
lanooga  at  Jack  Pratt's  home. 

Who  is  the  mysterious  visitor???  Someone  has  been  placing 
ers  in  a  Pepsibottle  and  leaving  them  in  the  Weimer  Domain, 
information  leading  to  the  apprehension  of  this  mysterious 
on  would  be  greatfuUy  received.  I  honestly  believ*  someone  has 
Tet  crush  on  Jan  and  is  scared  of  Jim  Fisher. 
Now  for  the  news  from  Hyder's.  I  was  beginning  to  think  that 

yone  In  the  big  white  house  , 

left  for  parts  unknown,  but 
ist  I  have  heard  from  them,

into  space.  Dink  is  worried

The  gals  at  Hyder's,  although 
like  school  (?)  (poor  things), 
looking  forward  to  vacation,

they  will  be  looking  for-

MYMILLIGAN 

By  ARGIE  LEE  PAYNE 
My  MiMJgan  Is  .. .  .  _the  roar  of 
a  water  fall  .  .  the  green  of  a 
weeping  willoW  as  it  sweeps  the 
ground  .  .  .  the  smell  of  lilacs  and 
of  freshly  'cut  grass  .  ,  ,  a  world 
turned  into  a  fairy  wonderland 
by  a  snowfall.    ' 

It  js  the  clasping  of  the  hands 
of  friends  or  the  moonlit  walks  of 
lovers  .  ,  .  the  weekly  chapel  ser- 
vices and  a  seat  thai  sometimes 
seems  a  little  too  hard  .  ,  .  the 
endless  heads  in  the  lunch  line 
.  .  .  a  group  sitting  at  a  lunch 
table,  happy,  carefree,  and  gay 
...  a  game  of  pick-up  sticks  in 
one  corner  of  Hardin  Parlor  .  .  . 
lovers  in  the  other  .  .  .  the  tink- 
ling pf  nickles  being  put  into  the 
pepsi  machine  ...  a  group  around 
the  piano  and  words  that  put  a 
smile  on  your  lips  or  frost  around 
your  heart. 

Milligan  is  the  quiet  of  a  mid- 
night dark  and  melancholy,  when 
one  has  "The  Term  Paper  Blues" 
and  he  feels  as  though  he  is  the 
only  one  up  .  .  .  until  he  gazes,  at 
another  dorm  ,  ,  the  yelling 
and  chattering  of  kids  in  the 
dorm  when  he  Isjrying  to  study 
for  a  test  .  .  .  the  shouting  of 
kids  at  a  basketball  game  and 
the  strains  of  "Dixie"  and  "Yan- 
kee Doodle."  ' 

It  is  irrepressible  youth  with 
limited  experience  .  .  .  upper- 
classmen  with  heads  a  bit  higher 
.  ,  .  chip  on  shoulder  a  bit  softer 
.  .  .  walk  a  bit  more  cocky  .  .  . 
proof  that  absence  makes  the 
heart  grow  fonder — of  .  someone 
else  .  .  .  love  that  is  a  bit  deep- 
er .,  .  friendships  that  are  never 
ending. 

My  Milligan  is  Christianity  in 
a  new  and  different  setting  .  .  , 
the  story  of  a  man  and  a  dream 
.  .  ,  and  the  woman  who  helped 
make  this  dream  come  true  .  .  . 
It  is  a  place  where  I  have  learn 
ed  to  see  the  world  in  a  different 
light,  so'  that  the  future  takes  on 
a  new  meaning.

With  Jim  Crouch  Baseball 


.  ■  spring  Is  here  again,  and  it 
the  season  for — no,  not  love — ten- 
nis, track,  and  baseball;  and  for 
the  sports  enthusiast  plenty  of 
each  is  being  provided  on  the 
Milligan  campus. 

Perhaps  the  biggest  surprise 
among  the  sports  activities  is  the 
success  of  the  track  team,  which 
to  date  has  won  2  and  lost  2. 
F\jrthermore,  the  outlook  is 
bright  for  some  time  because  the 
team  is  predominately  freshman. 
Elsewhere  on  this  page  there  is 
a- list  of  the  individual  scores  for 
the  team  mefnbers.  Of  the  top 
nine  scorers,  eight  are  freshmen, 
and  one  is  a  sophomore.  The  fu- 
ture is  indeed  bright  for  the 
prospects  of  track  at  Milligan. 
Pei*hHps  our  longing  for  a  new 
trophy  in  the  trophy  case  will  be 
fulfilled  via  the  cinders — who 
knows? 

.  One  notices  a  glaring  weakness, 
though,  in  glancing  over  the 
statistics.  Practically  all  of  our 
points  are  in  the  track  events, 
while  we  are  utterly  lacking  in 
the  fielji  events.  Only  Sizemore 
has  been  consistently  effective, 
and  he  in  the  high  jump  and 
broad  Jump.  In  the  pole  vault, 
javelin  throw,  discus  throw,  and 
shot  put.  we  have  yet  to  come 
up  with  a  consistent  winner.  This 
was  forcefully  demonstrated  in 
the  loss  to  Maryville.  In  the  track 
events  .  Maryville  outscored  the 
BOffs  44  to  32,  while  in  the  field 
events  the  slaughter  was  to  the 
tune  of  42>A  to  12'/^.  In  the  Lees 
McRae  meet  the  Buffs  outscored 
their  opponents  45  to  27  in  the 
track  events,  yet  lost  the  meet 
by  four  points.  The  key  to  the 
future  success  of  the  team,  there- 
fore, seems  to  be  in  whether  or 
not  we  can  find  a  couple  of  husky 
players  to  throw  the  discus,  jave- 
lin, and  shot  put. 

,  Looking  on  the  brighter  side, 
.we  find  that  we  have  a  good  mile 
relay  team  in  Phil  Worrell,  Dick 
Van  Buren,  Larry  Phillips,  and 
Scott  Bartchy.  They  have  won  3 
out  of  4  races. 

It  might  be  interesting  to  no- 
tice that  p^Iilligan  has  a  record 
holder  in  the  V.S.A.C.  Two  years 
ago,  Scott  Lewis,  a  freshman, 
traveled      to      the     V.S.A.C.    and 


single-handed  tallied  11  points.  In 
the  high  jump  he  tied  with  Truett 
of  Union  for  the  conference  rec- 
ord of  6  feet  1  inch.  Those  were 
the  days  when  Milligan  never 
won  a  meet,  yet  Scott  always 
scored  from  15  to  30  points.  I 
can  remember  one  meet  in  which 
he  copped  5  or  6  first  places.  One 
often,  wonders  what  kind  of  a 
team  we  would  have  now  if 
Scott  had  come  back  to  school. 

Milligan's  glory  this  year  is  in 
her  tennis  team,  To  date  the 
Buff  netrnen  have  a  record  ot  5 
wins,  1  loss,  and  1  tie.  The  tie 
came  as  a  result  of  a  rained  out 
doubles  match  at:  Carson  New- 
man. This  is  definitely  Milligan's 
year  in  tennis.  If  we  do  not  do  it 
this  year,  the  process  of  building 
will  have  to  be  begun  all  over 
again.  Perhaps  the  big  factor  lies 
in  the  doubles  matches.  Although 
the  doubles  teams  are  much  im- 
proved over  last  year,  we  are 
never  as  certain  of  'them  as  of 
the  singles  matches.  \ 

The  outstanding  play  on  the 
court  has  come  from  Milligan's 
number  one  man.  Don  Williams. 
Don's  record  thus  far  is  6-1.  and 
yet  his  greatest  match  was  that 
one  loss,  Perhaps  Don  has  play- 
ed better  tennis  than  against 
Lowe  "of  E.T.S.C.,_  but  never  with- 
more  heart.  I  was  never  any 
prouder  of  a  friend  after  he  had 
lost  a  match  than  after  "Wor- 
mie's"  6-3,  7-9,  5-7  match  with 
Lowe.  Without  making  excuses 
about  that. match,  I  will  predict 
that  the  next  time  the  two  meet 
— on  Milligan's  court — Williams 
will  be  the  winner. 

Perhaps  the  biggest  factor  in 
Milligan's  improvement  is  the 
individual  improvement  of  Norm 
Held  and  Bob  Waites.  Both  are 
winning  more  consistently  than 
last  year.  The  biggest  'surprise 
lies  in  Bill  Buchanan's  rise  to 
take  over  and  hold  the  number 
4  position.  Although  Jerry 
Hughes  has  not  reached  his  peak 
of  last  season,  he  is  placing  good 
tennis  at  number  5  position.  Num- 
ber "6  position  was  held  tor  a 
while  by  Marviri  Sweeney,  but 
Jack  Willis  is  currently  holding 
the  position. 

'What  can  one  say  about  base- 
ball?   Milligan  has   the  potential,

fore    the    May    court    performed 
the  May  Pole  Dance. 

The  entire  presentation  was 
under  the  supervision  of  Lourena 
Stofferan,  student  director,  and 
the  faculty  advisors,  Miss  Ona 
Weimer  and  Mrs.  Gloria  Gattis 
Andrews.  y 

tlie  -desire  to  win,  yet  when  the 
chips  are  down  we  do  not  come 
through.  One  thing,  though,  has 
been  very  apparent  in  my  three 
years  at  Milligan — lack  of  pitch- 
ing. In  these  three  years  we  have 
won  3  games.  Duard  Aldridge 
has  won  2  of  them  and  Nolan 
Gibbs  the  other,  Although  we  can 
not  blame  it  all  on  pitching,  that 
seems  to  be  the  key  to  the  prob- 
lem. Other  statistics  on  baseball 
appear  elsewhere   on   this  page. 

Recognition  should  be  made  of 
AI  Covell's  signing  a  contract 
with  the  New  York  Yankees.  He 
is  currently  playing  Class  D  ball 
in  McAlister,  Oklahoma.  We  all 
wish  him  the  best  of  luck. 

Say.  if  anybody  tries  to  tell 
you  that  baseball  is  a  new  game, 
he  does  not  know  what  he  is 
talking  about,  They  even  played 
baseball  in  the  Bible.  If  you  do 
not  believe  me,  here  Is  an  au- 
thentic account  from  the  April 
16,  1956,  issue  of  the  ROTATOR 
in  Johnson  City. 

"In  the  big  inning,  God  let 
Adam  get  on  first.  He  was  ribbed 
and  then  Eve  came  up  to  bat.  She 
stole  first  and  Adam  stole  sec- 
ond. Then  a  base  hit  was  made 
by  Coin  pn  Abel,  Abraham  sac- 
rificed. Jacob  shut  out  Esau,  while 
Ruth  had  a  big  day  in  the  field. 
Rebecca  worked  the  pitcher  for  a 
walk.  Then  Goliath  was  struck 
out  by  David.  The  first  time  up 
Samson  lost  his  eye,  but  tho  .'lec- 
ond  time  he  cleared  the  bases. 
Moses  worked  Pharoah  for  a 
pass.  Pharoah  was  charged  with 
nino  balks  and  was  sent  to  the 
showers.  Jonah  played  a  whale 
of  a  game,  but  was  finally  put 
out.  Daniel  played  a  cagey  game 
and  came  out  with  the  lion's 
share  of  the  glory.  The  prodigal 
son  made  a  homo  run.  Then  the 
rains  came  and  Noah  gave  out 
the  rain  checks."

Mars  Hill  Only  Victory 
For  Buffaloes  In 
Baseball  Drought 

Poor  hitting,  irregular  pitching, 
and  untimely  bad  breaks  have 
combined  to  give  the  Milligan 
College  baseball  team  a  weak  1-8 
record  to  date.  The  lone  victory 
was  a  9-7  win  over  Mars  Hill 
with  Duard  Aldridge  gaining 
credit  for  the  U-in.  The  losses 
have  been  to  Emory  and  Henry, 
E.T.S.C.  L,M.U.,  Tusculum,  Car- 
son Newman  (2);  and  Maryville 
(2). 

The  team  batting  average  is 
.210  with  only  four  players  above 
the  .200  mark.  Don  Williams,  with 
a  hefty  .385,  is  the  only  Buffalo 
batting  above  .300.  Jack  Gardner 
is  second  with  .294.  Duard  Ald- 
ridge, with  the  lone  Milligan  win, 
is  the  leading  pitcher. 

Following  are  the  batting  aver- 
ages based  on  15  times  at  bat: 

Williams     _._ _„ .385 

Gardner  - „_ .294

Creamer      .133 

Aldridge    ...^ ,..'..„_„".__.„  .100 


With  perhaps  the  best  tennis 
team  in  several  years,  the  Milli- 
gan College  has^  at  this  writinj, 
compiled  a  record  ot  7  wins  and 
one  tie  against  only  one  lost. 
The  Buffalo  "racketeers'*  have 
done  a  tremendous  job  on  the 
courts  at  home  and  away,  and 
their  spirit  has  certainly  mani- 
fested the  finest  in  sportsman- 
ship and  ability  to  do  their  best. 

The  team  record  stands  as  fol-

aires  Quartet.  Last  year  he  was 
a  member  of  the  Christian  Ser- 
vice Club,  and  for  two  years  he 
ha?  been  a  member  of  the  Minis- 
terial Association. 

To  be  president  of  a  class  is  a 
distinguished  honor,  and  Scott 
has  twice,  attained  this  honor 
since  he  has  been  enrolled  at 
Milligan. 

As  Vice-President  of  the  Stu- 
dent Council,  Scott  will  have  the 
responsibilities  of  being  ready  at 
all  times  to  assume  the  presiden- 
tial responsibilities,  acting  as 
chairman  of  student  polling  com- 
mittee, helping  with  freshman 
week,  and  acting  as  chairman 
for    the    election   of  cheerleaders. 

Scott's  reply  to  the  question  ot 
how  he  feels  about  his  election 
as'  Vice-President  was:  "My  sin- 
cere appreciation  goes  to  all  who 
in  any  way  effected  my  election- 
Extra  bouquets  go  to  the  won- 
derful campaign  managers  who

proud,  but  has  also  humbled  me 
in  a  sincere  desire  to  truly  serve 
you  in  an  effort  to  fulfill  that 
faith  and  trust.  With  your  con-

can  have  another  good  year  at 
M.  C.  Thanks  again!" 

The  lives  of  these  two  boys 
thus  far  in  their  college  career 
have  portrayed  growth  not  only 
in  their  willingness  and  ability 
to  be  leaders  but  also  to  be  fol- 
lowers. T'hey  stand  at  the  doorway 
opening  to  a  college  year  when 
they  will  be  leaders  of  the  Mil- 
ligan student  body,  and  they  have 
attained  the  authority  and  ability 
to  do  many  noteworthy  things 
for  the  college.  The  students  feel 
that  they  have  their  choice  in 
positions  of  high  esteem,  and, 
working  together,  the  year  igSff- 
57  will  be  added  to  years  past 
as  One  which  will  be  highly  suc-

Sizemore  And  Phillips  Top 
Scoring  For  Buff  Cindermen 


(Answer  To  "What's  It?") 
A  Slice  of  Broad.  Naturally! 


Once  again  Milligan  has  field- 
ed a  track  team,  and  the  results 
are  beyond  anything  that  observ- 
ers expected.  With  a  predomin- 
ately freshman  team,  the  Buf- 
falo cindermen  have  split  four 
dual  meets  to  date.  After  drop- 
ping an  86^i-44'ii  meet  to  Mary- 
ville, Milligan  sprang  back  to  top 
a  well  regarded  Tusculum  team 
by  the  score  of  72Vi-58',.5.  Highly 
encouraged  by  this  success,  the 
team  traveled  to  Mars  Hill  to  win 
by  the  tune  of  79-52.  They  then 
lost  ft  hcartbreaker  to  Lces-Mc- 
Rae  67H-63Va. 

Leading  the  individual  scoring 
is  Roger  Sizemore.  with  12 
firsts,  2  tics  for  first,  and  2  sec- 
ond.s,  and  a  grand  total  of  74 
points.  Roger  has  yet  to  be  beaten 
in  the  120-ynrd  high  hurdles  and 
the  220-yHrd  low  hurdles, 

Second  In  individual  scoring  is 
Larrj-  Phillips  with  42H   points. 


In  individual  events  he  has  7 
firsts  and  1  second,  and  he  has 
yet  to  be  beaten  in  the  mile  nin. 
He  is  also  a  member  of  the  mile 
relay  team  which  has  won  3  of 
its  4  races.  Running  with  thillipa 
in  this  race  are  Phil  Worrell, 
Scott  Bartchy  and  Dick  Van

Milligan  and  You — 

iTie  "welcome  mat"  Is  out,  and  Milligan  sttldfentS  are  ex- 
:jjtriencing  the  beginning  of  another  great  year  at  a  small 

S allege.  Freshmen  are  experiencing  the  newness  of  the  Mil- 
gah  spirit.  Sophomotes  are  remertibering  their  freshman 
year  and  are  anticipating  the  "upperclassnien"  fe*llhg. 
Juniors  are  looking  forward  with  eagerness  for  the  com- 
pletion of  this  year's  studies  when  they  can  t6ke  their 
places  as  Seniors.  Ahd  seniors— perhaps  ttote  seribuS  with 
mixed  emotions  o{  gayness  and  sadness — bwalt  thit  tline 
When  they  must  bid  acileu  to  the  Milligan  famuy. 
;  But  to  each  of  us,  Milligan  is  the  plsce  where  We  are 
.  liylhg  a  foundation  for  a  choice  U<e.  As  we  stand  upon  the 
threshold  of  anothei-  college  year,  I  would  like  to  tell  yoU 
ft-efehmen  about  yoUr  Milligan— a  cbllege  toiall  ih  Size  but 
;  big  in  Splint 

As  a  member  of  this  student  body,  you  will  be  a  name 
...  not  a  number.  This  fSitt  alohe  titeftiplifies  the  spirit  of 
fellowship  and  unity  which  you  will  find  at  MiUigan.  Walk 
across  the  campus  ...  go  to  the  "Sub"  and  chat  with  your 
friends  ...  enter  the  Administration  Building  willing  to 
.Study  .  .  .  spend  heartwarming  inoments  with  fellow  stu- 
fletits  by  participating  in  cainpus  Activities . . .  Jbtn  With  others 
«s  heads  are  bowed  and  a  prayei-  is  whispered  In  the  hush 
moments  of  meditation  .  .  .  and  you  will  fihd  that  you  6rt 
«ot  only  a  name  .to  students  and  faculty  bui  also  ftn  In- 
dividual. They  are  interested  In  you.  YoUf  likes,  dislikes, 
imbitions,  happiness,  and  disappointments  do  hot  beloHg 
to  you  only  because  we  want  to  know  you  The  faculty  is 
Interested  in  helping  you  become  not  jUst  a  Scholar  of 
excellence  but  a  person  of  excellence. 

Because  Milligan  is  a  Small  college,  you  Will  find  timple 

opportunities  to  exertlse  yout  abilities  by  partlclpatlHg  in 

the  activities  of  the  Organizations.   Ahd  If  We  do  not  havfe  & 

'  club  organized  already  that  meets  your  interests,  discuss  it 

with  the  president  of  the  student  council,  Jim  Kohls. 

One  of  the  greatest  gifts  of  life  shall  be  presented  to  vou 
here  at  Milligan.  Have  you  an  idea  of  what  it  shall  be? 
Your  answers  would  be  worded  differently,  I  am  sure;  but 
they  would  all  "boil  down"  to  one  main  advantage— charac- 
ter development.  The  true  character  development  of  Milll- 
gan's  studentbody  is  brought  forth  because  ol  the  college's 
concerh,  rooted  in  religion,  for  the  youth  as  they  plan  their 
futures. 

You  will  find  a  way  to  make  a  living,  but  greater  than 
this  is  the  fact  that  you  will  find  a  way  of  life  Milligan 
strives  for  perfection  in  helping  you  to  develop  your  abilities 
to  their  maximum  capacities.  This  college  which  is  small 
in  size  and  big  in  spirit  .prepares  you  for  a  life  of  service 
with  Christ. 

Perhaps  four  years  from  now  you  will  be  >  handed  a  di- 
ploma  certifying  that  you  are  ready  to  take  your 'place  In 
the  world  as  a  small  college  graduate.  And  as  one  profes- 
sor says  it  .  .  .  "You  shall  be  a  hand-tooled  and  not  a 
machine-made  product," 


Frosh  Week  At  Milligan  College  .  .  . 

—WRITTEN  TO  THE  FRESHMAN 
From  SCOTT  BARTCHY 

This  famous  week  opened  this  year  on  Monday,  Septem- 
ber 17,  with  an  All-School  Picnic  on  the  football  field,  and 
closes  with  the  very  impressive  Convocation  Service  Friday 
night.  The  purposes  of  the  week  are  many,  but  primarily  it 
is  geared  to  help  you'  new  students  reaUze  that  membership 

in  the  Milligan  Family   also ' — -- 

includes  responsibility. 

During  Frosh  Week,  which  is 
known  as  the  "Week  of  Wakan- 
dagi"  (the  Indian  word  for  "ser- 
vice"), the  "major  projects"  give 
the  various  teams  an  opportunity 
to  improve  the  appearance  of  the 
campus,  and  thus  begin  sharing 
■with  the  upperclassmen  that 
duty.  Being  divided  In  teams  of 
about  twenty  gives  a  chance  to 
you  "frosh"  to  see  where  yotw 
leadership  is.  Thia  is  the  time 
when  you  will  first  see  the  quali- 
ties of  those  who  will  be  j-cur 
Student  CouncU,  class,  club,  and 
publication  officers.

Our  Hearts  Are  Open  .  .  ■ 

.  I  speak  for  faculty  and  students.     My  first  word  is 
"please  feel  at  home  in  Milligan.'' 

Open  your  hearts  to  the  beauty  that  speaJcs  to  you 
through  the  campus.  Let  it  help,  you  think  and  form 
judgments.  Touch  the  time  refined  walls  of  old  Milli- 
gan's  buildings.  Alumni  now  distinguished  walked 
through  them  before  you. 

Take  time  for  play  in  the  gym  and  on  the  field. 
Sports  help  straighten  out  many  problems. 

Enter  the  arena  of  the  classroom  and  the  laboratories 
with  zest.  Your  teachers  are  there  to  help  you  master  the 
manual  of  learning. 

Enjoy  the  home-life  of  your  dormitory.  You  will 
find  friendship  there  for  your  treasure  the  rest  of 
your  life. 

Ascend  to  the  Prayer  room  frequently.  Speak  free- 
ly to  youf  Heavenly  Father,  Reflect  on  the  words  of 
the  open  Bible  before  you. 

WTienever  you  like  and  for  whatever  reason,  be  sure 
that  Mrs.  Walker  and  myself  will  be  happy  to  see  you 
in  our  home.     Our  doors  are  always  open. 

Milligan  is  very  old  as  well  as  very  young — a  dy- 
namic college  made  wise  through  decades  of  service — 
miade  young  by  your  incoming — vigorously  alert  to 
keep  the  warmth  of  the  Christian  heart  the  common 
possession  of  both  old  and  new. 

We  do  not  "attend"  Milligan.  We  do  not  "work 
at"  Milligan.  We  are  members  of  Milligan.  Some  of  us 
are  somewhat  seasoned  scholars.  Some  of  us  are  learn- 
ing the  ways  of  scholarship.  We  are  m&mbers  together 
in  the  pursiiit  of  wisdom.    Each  esteems  the  other. 

Wfe  hope  you  will  like  our  family.  We  believe  you 
win  give  us  cause  to  like  you.  Welcome,  freshmen,  to 
the  warmth  of  bur  hearts  at  your  new  home  in  the  Mif; 
llgfen  family.

From  The  President  Of  The  Student 
Council;  An  Intimate  Letter  To  A 
Freshman . . .  "What  Is  A  Student?" 

Between  the  Innocence  of  childhood  and  the  maturity  of 
full  growth,  we  find  a  delightful  creature  called  a  student 
Students  come  in  assortfed  sizes,  weights,  and  colors;  but  they 
all  have  one  creed  —  to  enjoy  every  minute  of  every 
hour  of  every  day  by  hook  or  crook  and  at  one's  own  expense. 
They  are  bound  ana  determined  to  cut  classes  or  sleep  in  the 
class  room  when  IJie  privilege  is  granted  to  the  professor. 
They  are  found  on  top  of.  swinging  to,  jtimping  on.  under- 
neath of,  beside  of,  and  running  around,  bothering  Shep- 
pards,  harassing  upperclassmen,  running  into  the  local 
movie,  beating  the  piano  at  Hardin,  or  arguing  with  Miss 
Hale. 

Mothers  love  them,  hi^  school  girls  adore  them„store 
clerks  hate  them,  upperclassmen  tolerate  them,  and  the 
faculty  attempts  to  educate  them. 

But  after  a  year  elapses,  you  can  look  them  over  and  a 
notable  change  seems  to  be  in  them — that  is  thqy  suddenly 
realize  how  little  they  really  know.  It  is  to  this  end  that  this 
letter  is  written: 

I  am  writing  to  YOU,  the  1956-'57  student.  Most  of  you 
graduated  last  spring  or  previously  back  in  your  high  school 
you  were  looked  up  to  for  guidance,  and  you  were  self-as- 
sured and  confident — maybe  even  cocky.  This  year  you  are 
In  a  new  environment — a, new  world — and  you  desire  to  be 
looked  up  to.  You  desire  achievement,  advancement,  dignity, 
and  prestige — and  I  sincerely  believe  Milligan  College  is  the 
best  place  for  you  to  strive  toward  this  end.  Now  there  is  a 
sprinkle  of  advice  I  would  like  to  suggest  which  will  help 
you  win  your  goal. 

Conformity  at  first  will  acquire  for  you.  as  soon  as  any- 
thing, the  warmth  and  fellowship  of  Milligan  College.  'l 
mean  lim.ited  conformity.  Follow  the  few  traditions— co- 
operate in  the  upkeep  of  property-  and  with  the  planned 
program. 

I  do  not,  by  any  means  advocate  that  you  be  a  number 
or  just  one  of  the  crowd.  I  consider  the  personalit\'  a  sacred 
virtue  and  instrument,  and  I  believe  it  should  be  expressed. 
But  by  conformity,  I  prescribe  a  willingness  and  eagerness 
to  adapt  yourselves  to  Milligan  College  and  to  let  us  adopt 
you  as  part  of  the  family.  Also  a  characteristic  of  persever- 
ance is  vital  to  your  college 
career.  This  is  the  ability  and 
the  desire  to  hitch  your  col- 
lege career  to  a  star.  Use  your 
education  as  a  stairway  "to  a 
Christian  life  on  a  high  plane. 
.^Txi  when  the  lijht  turns  green 
and  sars  GO  but  the  odds  say 
NO!  ,  .  .  You  can  ne\T»r  do  It  .  .  . 
It's  impossible;  yxxi'll  make  the 
climb  to  the  plnacle  of  your  am- 
bitions If  you  ha\*e  pcrservance 
or  splrerinctum.  But  don't  ex- 
pect to  do  It  tonight— tomorrow 
--TWTt  >-«flr— (Hid  if  It  tckes  you 
twCTit>'  year?,  that  will  not  be 
to?  scxm,  and  don't  expect  to  do 
It  eny  sooner.

;eptember  tenth,  marks 

u/IILLIGAN'S  76TH  YEAR 

I  Pre-registration  figures  from  Miss  Hale's  office  revealed 
|iat  170  new  and  transfer  students  from  fifteen  states  have 
■  nrniled  for  the  fall  semester  at  Milligah  College.  The  sub- 
;antial  increase  over  last  year's  new  enrollment  was  made 
.ossible  by  the  opening  of  Sutton  Hall,  the  new  girls'  dorra- 

Iory. 
In  keeping  with  the  tradition  of  drawing  students  from 
wide  area  (in  1950  the  enrollment  also  came  from  fifteen 
-lifferent  states)  Milligan  has  again  attracted  Christian  stu- 
ents  from  a  large  part  of  the  United  States.  This  fact  in- 
icates  an  ever- expanding  sphere  of  MiUigan's  influence 
id  prestige  in  the  field   of

My  Milligan 

Bt  ARGIE  lee  PAYNE 

(Rcprlnittd  from  thi  May  IB.  1956 
•dlHon  c^  the  STAMPEDE) 

My  Milligan  is  .  .  .  the  roar  of 
a  water  fall  .  .  .  the  green  of 
weeping  willow  as  it  sweeps  the 
ground  .  .  .  the  smell  of  lilacs 
arid  of  freshly  cut  grass  .  .  .  i 
world  turned,  into  a  fairy  won^ 
dferland  by  a  sriowfall. 

It  is  the  clasping  of  the  hands 
of  friends  or-the  nuaonllt  walkE 
of  lovers  .  .  .  the  weekly  chapel 
■'services  and  k,  seat  that  sometimes 
seems  a  little  too  hard  .  .  .  the 
endless  heads  in  the  luhch  line 
...  a  gt«up  sittln'g  at  a  lunch 
table,  happy,  carefree,  and  gay 
...  a  game  of  pick-up  sticks  In 
one  comer  of  Hardin  Parlor  .  .  , 
lovers  in  the  other  .  .  .  the  tink- 
ling of  nickles  being  put  into  the 
p>epsi  machine  ...  a  group  around 
the  piano  and  words  that  put  a 
smiTe  on  your  lips  or  frost  around 
your  heart.  ' 

Milligan  is  the  quiet  of  a  mid- 
.ght  dark  and  melancholy,  when 
one  has  "The  Term  Paper  Blues" 
and  he  feels  as  though  he  is  the 
only' one  up  ...  .  until  he  gazes 
Jt  another  dorm  .  .  .  the  yelling 
and  chartering  of  kids  in  the 
dorm  when  he  is  trying  to  study 
for  a  test  .  .  .  the  shouting  of 
Icids  at  a  basketball  game  and 
the  strains'  of  "Dixie"  and  '"Yan- 
kee Doodle." 

It  is  irrepressible  youth  with 
limited  experience  .  .  .  upper- : 
classmen  with  heads  a  bit  higher 
,  ,  .  chip  on  shoulder  a  bit' softer 
.  .  ,  walk  n  bit  more  cocky 
proof  that  absence  makes  the 
heart  grow  fonder — of  someone 
else  .  ,  .  love  that  Is  a  bit  deeper 
.  .  .  friendships  that  are  never 
ending. 

My  Millignh  is  Christianity 
a  new  and  different  setting  . 
the  story  of  a  man  and  a  dream 
.  .  .  and  the  woman  who  helped 
make  this  dream  come  true  ,  .  . 
It  is  a  place  Where  I  have  leorned 
to  see  the  world  in  a  different 
light,  3o  that  the  future  takes  on 
a  new  meaning. 


Happenings  At  Milligan  College

signature — the  Dean's  signature  along  with  those  of  Dr.  Walker  and 
Mr.  Stahl — a  bill — six  little  white  card^  to  be  filled  out — and  tirwl 
and  weary,  the  upperclassmen  were  registered  for  the  first  school 
semester.  The  freshmen  were  also  introduced  and  initiated  to  this

A  Thought 
For  The  Freshman 

"You  "fiave  each  been  given  a 
bag  of  tools. 
A  formless  nx-k  ond  o  book 
of  rules; 
And  each  mUst  make,  ere  life 
has  flown, 
A  atumbllh^-bluck  or  a 
stopping-stone," 


Attention  Frosh 
And  Upperclassmen! 

A»  Ihe  student  body  of  MlUi- 
gan  College,  you  aro  needed  ir 
several  organic  a  lions,  and  hence- 
foTlh  I  am  asking  that  thoso  in- 
terMted  in  newspaper  work  wlUi 
Join   the   STAMPEDE   itafl. 

The  work  is  hard  .  .  .  co-opera- 
tion from  othert  in  giving  you  in- 
formation will  be  varied  .  .  . 
lomellme*  you  wUl  got  dligutled 
.  .  .  Irani  per  lation  will  prore  to 
be  a  problem  for  soliciting  ad- 
▼ertlsementt  and  proofreading 
.  .  .  criliciami  will  pop  up  at 
timet  .  .  .  there  will  be  a  deadline 
to  meet  .  .  .  and  Tarlous  othfrr

hard  work  and  worrf :  bM\  be-  j

problems.  If  you  want  to  know 
what  Ihe  rewardi  are — why  not 
Join  Ihe  iJBff  and  find  out? 


CHUCKLES 

Sg  often  was  the  local  wea- 
ther man  wrong  in  his  pre- 
dictions that  he  became  the 
laughing  stock  of  the  town. 
The  teasing  became  unbear- 
able and  he  applied  for  trans- 
fer to  another  station. 

"\Vhy,"  wrote  headquarters, 
■'do  von  wish  to  be  trans- 
ferred?" 

"Because,"  the  forecaster 
replied,  "the  climate  here 
doesn't  agree  with  me." 

"Young  man,"  said  the 
angr>*  father  from  the  head 
of  the  stairs,  "didn't  I  hear 
the  clock  strike  four  when 
you  brought  my  daughter 
home?" 

"You  did,"  admitted  the 
boy,  "It  was  going  to  strike 
eleven,  but  I  grabbed  it  and 
held  the  gongs  so  it  wouldn't 
disturb  you." 

The  father  muttered:  "Daw- 
gone!  Why  didn't  I  think  of 
that  in  my  day!" 


MILLIGAN  STEW 

SoIIcjd  By  Barbara  Williami 

HI  everybody!  It's  good  to  be 
greeting,  you  again.  For  those 
who. are  new  to  dear  old  M  C, 
this  is  called  a  gossip  column. 
"Webster  defines  gossip  as 
"gi'oundless  rumor"  which  I 
wish  to  'assure  you  this  column 
is  not.  Ht  also  defines  it  as  "shat- 
ter." I  like  that  word  much  bet- 
ter, This  column  will  never  be 
used  (or  revenge,  blackmail,  or 
to  report  the  troubles  of  Milli- 
gianites.  Rather  it  will  be  a 
column  thai  tells  of  the  happy 
times  had  here  at  Milligan, 

Seems  like  everyone  has  ar- 
rived that's  going  to.  The  fresh- 
men started  arriving  on  Satur- 
day and  thus  began  q  steady 
stream  of  incomers  until  Tuesday. 

The  Student  Council  began  per- 
forming all  those  additional  first 
week  functions  right  away. 

Speaking  of  freshmen  (we 
were,  weren'i  we?)  There  are  a 
great;  nimrber  of  them.  If  first 
impressions  are  lasting  ones,  the^' 
seem  like"  a  pretty  fine  bunch, 

I  guess  about  the  hardest  thing 
the  upperclassmen  have  to  do  is 
to  remember  that  Marilyn  Smith 
is  Marilyn  Waites,  Diane  Walker 
is  Diane  Bartchy.  Ruth  White  is 
Mils,  Wagner,  Donna  Andre  is 
Donna  Crc»ueh,  and  Maryljm 
Rozell  is  Maryl>*n  Covell.  This 
summer  was  full  of  ^veddings! 

Since  the  J'ear  is  yet;  new  this 
masterpiece  mast  be  short,  but 
there  will  be  more  in  later  is- 
sues. My  parting  remark  is  that 
Jim  Ivanoff  is  using  Julie  Green's 
picture  for  advertising  '  purposes 
Onlrll  '    ,, 

Now  I  murt  go  back  to  tossing 
boxx-;.  moving  trunks,  sliding 
furniture,  cleaning  -windows  and 
j'u^t  being  Very 'glad  to  be'  back 
'in  East  TenTiessee.

the  "dinks,"  the  striving  for  the 
plaque,  the  "Victors  Supper,"  the 
closing  Convocation — all  bind  to- 
gether— air  give  a  united  feeling 
to  the  fledging  Milliganites.  The 
upperclassmen  not  only  are  able 
to  get  many  odd  (and  even)  jobs 
done,  but  primarily  begin  form- 
ing lasting  friendships  with  you

Tennis  .  .  . 

How  many  of  us  remember  the  VSAC  tennis  play-off  last  year? 
It  Is  certain  that  anyone  who  saw  the  match  will  still  have  a  sparkle 
m  his  eye  when,  he  recounts  tho.'ie  tense  moments  when  the  state 
championsliip   weighed    in    the    balance    of    every    shot.     The  score 
wavered  back  and    forth  so  much    that  everv'  other  serve  seem(^_ 
to  be  match  point.  Don  Williams,  our  number  one  man,   and  Bob 
Waites    were   on   the   court   facing    the  best    doubles   team    in    the 
state.    The    matcK    was    tied    and    the   deciding    factor    in    the    title 
was  the  number    one  doubles.  Although  interest  in  tennis  wag  at 
a   mediocre    level    befo|^   that    memorable   day,    it    reached    an'  all 
tirhe   high    with    Don    Williams'    final    serve,    The    trophy    and    the 
story    behind    it    are    well    worth    the    hearing,    so  you  freshmen 
seek    out    gome    tipperclassnian    and    have    him    tell    you   about    it. 
^      Due   to  the   loss  of  Don  Williams  and  Norman   Held,   our 
lenniG  team  will  really  feel  !h«  Btrain  of  comp«tilIon  this  year. 
Also  a  oouple  of  the  others  will  not  return  and  this  loaves  open- 
ings in  the  lower  ranks.  If  Bob  Wailes  is  at  his  usual  best  next 
spring  and  a  few  other  returning  lettermen  gei  on  the  ball,  we 
wUl\again  produce  a  championship  team.  Honor  and  glory  were 
hoapod  in  the  lap  of  ole  M.  C.  by  last  year's  le-am. 

By  the  way.  if  you  want  a  really  play  by  play  account,  ask 
either  Dean  Oakfes  or  Dr.  Crouch,  Out  of  all  the  spectators  present 
that  day^  I'm  certain  that  they  lost  the  most  Weight 

Basketball ... 

All  through 'the  halls  of  Pardee,  Sutton,  Cheek,  and  Hardin, 
came  that  oid  familiar  cry  "Hey,  what's  the  good  word?"  That 
standby  reply— -BEAT  STATE!" 

1  Yes,  this  year  unlike  any  before,'  the  crop  of  freshmen  athletes 
is  enough  to  scare  the  basketball'  shoes  off  E.T.S.C.  Last  yea-T  the 
"Buffs"  suffered  defeat  at  the  hands  of  the  "Bucs."  This  .  .  , 
revenge. 

A  number  of  returning  lettermen  have  shown  Ihat  they  aie 
capable  to  represent  old  M.  C.   in  the  field  of  sports.  In  fact, 
I  heard  that  Duard  Aldridge,  John  Hall,  and  Dennis  Greenwell 
could  not  be  evicted  from  last  year.  Duard.  one  of  last  year's 
co-captains,    play^^g   the    position    of    center,    John   Hall   plays 
guard,  while  Dennis,  or  "Red  Eye"  lo  moat,  placed  on  the  Vol- 
unteer State  Athletic  Conference  first  five  last  year  at  guard.  , 
Among  the  others  back  to  suffer  .food  problem  while  in  train; 
ing  are  Del  Harris,  Roger  Sizemore.  Jatnes  .(Goose)  VanBuren  and 
the  possibility  of  JLm  Crouch. 

In  regard  to  the  previous  sports  record  ot  many  of  the  fresh- 
men, it  seems  that  quite  a  few  have  earned  a  letter  in  either  basket- 
ball or  track.  Although  many  more  of  them  played  football.  I 
couldn't  iTKrlude  th^m  in  this  article  at  the  time  due  to  the  fact  that 
we  don't  have  an  inter-collegiate  football  Squad. 

Thoae  who  have  given  us  their  namsB  as  having  earned  a 
letter  were:  John  Garland,  forward  and  one-year  lotterman  and 
Lucian  Robinson,  center  and  one-year  lelterman, 

Not  being  able  to  account  for  everyone,  I'm  sorry  if  I  left 
tho&e  out  who  ax©  other  poasibilitles. 
I'm  certain  that  from   what  I  have  been  able  to  find  out  we 
will  have  a  record  to  be  proud  of,  or  as  it  says  in  the  locker  room: 
"It  is  not  so  much    whether  you    win  or  lose,   but  how  you  play 
the    game." 

Track  ... 

Freshman  prospects  for  this  year's  track  team  are  very  good. 
In  the  process  of  inlerviewLng  the  "group  in  Cheek,  numerous 
men  were  found  wTio  will'be  able  to  gain  many  needed  points  in  the 
field  events.  This,  in  itself,  is  the  greatest  neu-s  in  ages  to  those 
few  who  are  trying  to  put  Milligan  on  the  map  in  the  track 
world. 

Last  year  in  running  against  the  various  schriols,  wc  were 
always  swanaped  in  the  field  events,  gi\'ing  up  twenty-one' points 
and  better  in  the  shot  put  discus,  and  Javelin  e\'L'r>'  meet.  In 
order  to  make  these  points  up  we  practically  had  to  gain  all  three 
places  in  the  running  events. 

Our  track  Jeam  was   spoar-headod  by  Roger  Siiemoro,  who 
averaged   bettor   than   fifteen   points   per    moot.    Lorry    Phillips, 
last  year's   captain   has    gone   to   Purdue.  LaJry   contributed   an 
average   of   nine   jjoints   per   meet   to   help   pace   Iho   team   to   a 
few   wins.   Phil   'Worroll,   another    of   Inst   year's   freshmen,   also 
scored  better  than  six  points  Jo  hold  the  number  three  position. 
Wc  held  great  hopes  that  some  of  these  freshmen   coming  in 
unll  be  able  tb  fill  the  caps  and  add  depth  to  the  team.  Who  knows? 
With    the    right    people    to    handle    the    pole   vault  nnd  discus,  our 
chances"  of  taking  victories  at  the  future  track  ovonrts  will  be  in- 
creased, 

State  reci^rds  nnd  nil  reconls  will  be  publish«l,at  a  later 
date.  Milligan  participates  in  the  V.S.A.C.  nnd  S.M.AC.  and  waS

Never  bcfure  has  there  been  so  nuich  interest  in  cheerleading.

From  The  President  Of 
The  Student  Council 
To  A  Freshman ... 

(ConJinued  From   Page   Two) 

With  Jiyh-M.'i  at  the  helm  of  your 
ship,  you'll  never  taste  defeat  re- 
gardless of  your  field  o(  study. 
Be  Q  majil  ...  be  a  wioman'  ,  .  . 
Be  big!  ...  Be  humble!— in 
Christ. 

A  Uttle  boy  selling  newspapers 
one  linie,  his  clothes  ragged — an 
indication  of  his  poverty,  was 
oonfrontod  by  a  rather  well-to-do 
prosp>ective  purchaser  of  the 
newspaper.  The  rrum  said,  "Son, 
I'll  flip  you  for  the  paper.  Should 
the  coin  land  'heade,'  I'll  pay  you. 
Should  the  coin  land  'tails,'  I  get 
the  paper  free." 

Ihe  boy  immediately  repHed, 
"Mister,  I  can't  afford  to  lose." 

I  would  like  to  liken  your| 
stay  here  at  Milligan  College  like 
that  of  the  Uttle  boy.  Your 
clothes  may  not  be  So  thread- 
bare, but  you  too  can  flip  the 
coin — 'Heads'  I'll  make  good! 
Tails'  I'll  study  next  year!  To 
YOU  with  the  ambition  and  for- 
titude and  a  determination  bo 
make  the  best  of  your  abilities, 
the  coin  will  always  land  'heads,' 

In  the  past  .week  you  have  wit- 
nessed Dean  Oakes  plead  with 
you  to  study.  Dr.  Walker  has  told 
you  of  the  advantages  of  study, 
teachers  on  the  faculty  have  at- 
tempted to  encourage  you  to 
study  by  making  each  course  in- 
teresting and  as  informative  as 
possible,  and  they  have  appealed 
tb  you  that  "it's  your  money." 
Should  none  of  these  approaches 
appeal  to  you  Vhy  hot  try  it  just 
for  the  timll — for  an  adventure. 
Study  and  learn  just  to  prove 
you  can — just  to  prove  to  your 
egocentric,  self  that  there  is  a 
place  for  you  in  a -student  body. 
If  you  have  never  ventured  to 
discover  the  field  of  applying 
one's  self,  let  it  no  longer  remain 
an  unexplored  territory.  With 
your  books  in .  hand  and  willed 
determination  in  mind,  strive  to 
make  this  a  conquest.  The  vic- 
tory will  be  gratifying  upon  the 
completion  of  each  course.  You 
will  feel  the  energy  w^s  weU- 
spent  and  you  will  exhilerate 
with  the  emotion' of  that  new  ex- 
perience, the.  romanct  of  lemm- 
ing. You  will  never  forget  this 
humbling  experience  of  achieve- 
ment. 

I  personally  make  this  plea  as 
one  who  appreciates  the  institu- 
tion of  learning  and  realizes  the 
value  of  khowlege.  I  exhort  you 
to  fasten  in  mind  e\-er>'  morsel 
you  can.  Better  yourself.  Better 
Milligan.  Now  freshmen,  liken 
yourself  to  a  little  boy  •  on  the 
comer  selling  ne'A'spapers — only 
>-ou  are  selling  yourself  to  the 
idea  of  learning.  You  are  selling 
yourself  in  every  course  you  en- 
counter, Now  flip  that  coin.  Ask 
yburself,  "Can  I  afford  to  lose." 
Look  deep  do\vn  into  your  heart 
A:sk  again.  "Can  I  afford  to  lore?" 
I  cannot  prescribe  a  sure  flro 
method  to  success  chiefly  be- 
cause I  do  not  know  of  any.  But 
I  can  make  the  assurance  o^  one 
thing,  "On  the  road  of  hard  \^*ork, 
there  ^  ne\'ej-  defeat," 

The  paragmph  at  tho  begin- 
ning of  this  ai-ticle  v.'as  indeed  a 
bit  cnvistic,  but  it  is  my  anticipa- 
tion that  you  will  take  heed  not 
to  fall  into  its  catcgorj'. 

In  recent  time  I  have  leomed 
to  have  0  certain  pride  in  learn- 
ing ;md  that, is  the  pride  of  own- 
ership). You  .u-o.  once  the  gray 
nwttcr  housed  in  \-ovir  cranium 
hns  fastened  on  some,  knowledge, 
it  belongs  to  you,  And  more  won- 
derful than  any  material  pOEses- 
sion,  it  can  not  be  taken  awoy, 
It  belongs  to  you;  it  Is  tmtlrely 
to  be  utilircd  at  >'our  discretion. 
You  sec,  >-ou  arc  in  &  new 
\\'y>rld — on  the  threshrftd  of  ad- 
venture. Your  life  here  is  guided 
by  ytni  alone.  It's  up  to  you!  Make

A  Peek  At  The 
Diary  Of  A 
Milligan  Freshman 

By  NANCY  SHUSTER 

Well,  dear  diary,  our  room  ia 
finally  settled.  I  evesn  got  to  get 
to  lunch  today,  with  only  a  slight 
climb  over  two  tninks,  six  suit- 
cases, ten  boxey,  three  bags  and 
a  dustmop.  How  delightful  it  waa 
to  find  that  door  and  get  to  the 
food.  The  weather  is  a  bit  cool 
"hyar"  in  Temnessee.  1  slept  with 
three  blankets,  a  bedspread  and 
my  throwrug  over  me  last  night, 
biit  once  those  icicles  fall  off,  it 
isn't  half  bad  .  ,  .  Dozc-d  off  to 
the  melodIo\is  notes  of  a  drippy 
fauoet.  This  noise  annoyed  me 
Uttle  until  water  splashed  in  my 
dainty  ear.  That  called  for  an 
investigation.  Niagara  Falls  has 
slid  down  a  few  states  to  the 
third  floor  of  Sutton  Hal).  The 
above  room  had  plumbing  that 
wasnt  quite  up  to  par  .  ,  -  Packed 
a  lunch  and  started  my  trsk  to 
dheAd.  Biiilding,  Td  ne%-er  try 
mountain  climbing  like  that 
without  grub,  A  person  could 
starve  to'  death  and  never  be 
found  .  .'  .  Was  taught  the  history 
of  MiHigan- .  I  liked  ,  the  story 
about  the  Maxwell'  House  boys' 
dorm.  That  is  good  to  the  last 
drip,  but  that  Oakwood  stunip 
tale  is  a  tall  one  indeedy.  Oh, 
well,  rn  play  their  sUly  gam,e. 
Made  my  maiden  voyage  to  the 
S.  U.  B.  today.  Ha.  fooled  ya,  but 
don't  feel  bad,  I  thought  it  waa 
a  boat  at  first,  too  .  .  .  Bowed  to 
a  senior  for  the  tenth  time  in  one 
day.  A  gal  has  to  be  careful,  with 
freshman  week  drawing  so  near. 
.  ,  .  Finished  tfie  day  without  any 
fatalities,  except  for  catching  my 
hair  in  the  car  door  when  bum- 
ming a  ride  up  the  hill  .. .  .  Must 
hold  a  wake  tomorrow  for  those 
three  hairs.  What  a  way  to  die! 
Oh,  yea,  nearly  forgot  the  high- 
light of  the  day  .  .  .  'Went  to  din- 
ner in  my  bare  feet.  Something 
has  to  be  done  about  thi^  lack  of 
mirrors.  'Well,  time  has  drawn 
owtr  to  dive  under  my  mass  of 
kivers  and  get  my  rest  so  that 
I'p  be  fresh  to  get  into  lots  of 
trouble  tomorrow.  Night,  y'all.

THE  SUTTON  STORY... 


SUTTON    MEMORIAL    DORMITORY  /or  women  picluTcd  here,  contains  housing    space  for  approximately  100  gtrts      The  mam  floor  features  a  cafeteria  and  dining  hall 
with  a  beautiful  parlor  on  either  end.  The  basement  is  s  recreation  room  for  dormitory     entertainment. 


Then  .  .  . 

(Reprinted  from  lh»  Decem- 
iMr  9,  1&54,  •dllion  of  lh« 
STAMPEDE). 

For  the  first  time  in  a  long 
time  Milligan  really  sat  up  and 
took  notice.  Enthusiasm  ran  ram- 
pant among  all  those  within  hear- 
ing range,  and  still  threatens  to 
take  material  form.  What  was  the 
occasion  for  all  this?  .  .  .  Dr. 
Walker's  announcement  at  the 
conclusion  of  the  Founder's  Day 
banquet,  of  course. 

At  the  close  of  the  Founder'B 
Day  pageant.  Dr.  Walker  an- 
nounced to  the  assembled  alumni, 
Students,  and  guests  that  Milligan 
had  received  a  gift  of  $100,000 
from  an  anonymous  donor  which 
Is  to  be  used  toward  the  immedi- 
ate construction  of  a  new  girl's 
dormitory.     Although    there    are 


still  many  details  to  be  worked 
out,  plans  are  set  to  begin  con- 
struction on  the  new  building 
not  later  than  March  1,  of  1955, 
provided  no  unexpected  circum- 
stances arise. 

The  building  will  be  of  four 
stories,  with  modem  kitchen  and 
dining  hall  on  the  ground  floor. 
It  will  be  constructed  of  brick 
and  block,  with  the  architecture 
following  the  general  lines  of  the 
campus.  They  will,  however,  be 
more  simple  and  modernistic.  The 
$200,000  dormitory  will  have  ap- 
proximately fifty-two  rooms 
which  will  cost  about  $400  apiece 
to  furnish.  Student  help  is  defi- 
nitely encouraged  for  this  part  of 
the  project,  for  it  is  part  of  the 
"Milligan  way"  to  get  up  and 
push  a  little  when  a  push  is  need- 
ed. 

President  Walker  has  described 
the    project    as    an    indication    of 


the  continuing  growth  at  Milli- 
gan. The  completion  of  the  build- 
ing will  enable  the  college  to  In- 
crease its  enrollment  "by  one- 
third.  It  will  also  lower  the  per- 
capita  cost,  thus  increasing  the 
school's  efficiency  and  benefiting 
everyone  on  campus.  It  will  also 
give  Milligan  a  sound  basic  readi- 
ness for  the  increase  in  the  num- 
ber of  college  age  young  people 
which  is  bound  to  come  within 
the  next  ten  years. 

/Vow?  .  .  . 

Difficulties  have  been  over- 
come, blueprints  have  been  com- 
pleted, construction  has  been  un- 
derway since  August  1,  1955,  and 
Sullon  Hall  now  provides  living 
quarters  for  girls  of  Milligan 
College.  A  need  ...  a  donation 
.  .  .  a  goal  ...  a  college  striving 
to  go  forward  .  .  .  and  a  new 
girls'  dormitory    has    been    con- 


structed. 

Resting  upon  the  scenic  cam- 
pus of  our  college  stands  Sutlon 
Hall,  simple  and  modernistic. 

The  dormitory  conimitte«  was 
composed  of  Mrs.  Carla  B.  Keys, 
Henry  C.  Black,  Dr.  J-  R.  Bow- 
man, Steve  Lacy,  W.  Z.  Gilbert, 
Judge  Raymond  Campbell,  and 
Jack  Covington— members  of  the 
Board  of  Directors.  This  Com- 
mittee gave  concentrated  con- 
sideration to  the  planning  of  this 
dormitory.  The  building  was  so 
planned  that  it  now  blends  har- 
moniously with  the  rest  of  the 
campus  and  overlooks  ,th6  entire 
area. 

On  this  piece  of  ground  of  the

I  Speak  For  Sutton  , . , 

■    r  A  Positive  Approach  Wilh  Positive  Results  , . . 

J  Oftentimes  you  can  find  many  truths  in  proverbs  and 
sajyings  handed  down  to  you  throughout  the  ages.  Possibly 
one  that  comes  before  you  many  times  is  the  phrase  "a  house 
is  not  a  home."  Certainly  this  is  true,  therefore  taking  a  posi- 
tive attitude  toward  a  problem  at  Sutton,  this  phrase  can  be 
applied  very  fittingly.  It  gives  "food  for  thought"  to  those 
who  sincerely  and  honestly  want  to  approach  a  problem  to 
solve  It  and  arrive  at  a  conclusion  which  will  be  unbiased 
and  rewarding. 

To  reach  your  goal  of  application  to  an  existing  family 
problem  at  Sutton,  first  consider  the  meaning  and  portrayal 
of  truth  in  the  phrase — "a  house  is  not  a  home."  Reword  the 
phrase  to  best  apply  with  attaining  your  goal.  Thus  you  have 
^'Sutton  as  a  building  is  not  the  home  but  the  girls  living 
there  as  a  family  make  it  a  home." 

No  family  is  without  its  problems,  but  a  true  family 
'iplrit  prevails  when  these  problems  are  discussed  and  each 
opinion  is  voited.  When  something  causes  a  family  to  meet 
one  another  when  differing  opinions,  no  one  expects  you  to 
be  quiet  and  not  voice  your  opinion.  It  is  the  approach  to 
differing  opinions  and  the  application  of  sincere  discussion 
4nd  compromising  (plus  a  lot  of  understanding)  that  coimts. 

Taking  the  offensive  side  in  an  argument  causes  much 
tribulation;  and  taking  the  defensive  side.  likewise,  has  no 
merit.  Arguments  never  cease  to  be  anything  but  "one-sided" 
Opinions  of  each  individual.  Each  person  walks  away  from 
&  scene  of  argument  thinking,  "I  am  right.  The  other  per- 
son is  wrong."  Therefore  with  this  fact  existing,  what  has 
been  accomplished?  There  can  be  but  one  answer  to  this 
question— there  is  no  accomplishment, 

Something  can  be  accomplished  though  when  the  parties 
involved  in  a  discussion  take  upon,  themselves  an  attitude 
of  positive  approach  to  "iron  out"  their  differences. 

First,  why  do  you  differ?  Do  both  parties  understand 
exactly  the  cause  of  their  disagreement?  Have  both  sides' 
viewpoints  been  presented  in  a  fair  way  and  discussed  ac- 
cordingly? 

Now  that  you  have  these  questions  before  you  for  con- 
tentrated  thought,  apply  them  to  Sutton  Hall  as  your  home. 
Consider  your  surroundings  spiritually  ot  her  than  ma- 
terially. Undoubtedly  you  shall  find  that  you  own  much  here 
at  Sutton — the  friendships  of  the  girls  .  .  .  the  meditations 
of  unity  at  prayer  meetings  ...  a  feeling  of  warmth  and  se- 
curity as  you  bask  in  the  sunshine  of  wonderful  fellowship 
with  the  girls  •  .  .  the  presence  of  Jesus  Christ  as  you  live 
each  day  according  to  His  will  ...  the  "heart-to-heart"  talks 
with  your  roommates  and  the  ifulfillment  of  knowing  there 
is  someone  with  whom  you  can  confide  yDur  secrets  .  .  .'the 
knowledge  that  when  you  flip  your  light  switch  at  night  and 
all  is  darkness,  there  is  the  inner  light  of  Christ  and  Chris- 
tian companionship  shining  upon  your  daily  life.  This  is  home 
at  Sutton.  This  is  the  Milligan  family  attitude  and  positive 
approach  in  action! 

The  material  things  still  give  you  headaches?  No  mir- 
rows  .  ,  .  no  trash  can  at  the  end  of  your  hallway  ...  a  closet 
'that  seems  too  full  at  times  .  .  ,  visitors  when  you  forgot  to 
put  away  your  shoes  and  a  bed  only  half-made?  Funny  how 
they  cease  to  be  problems  when  you  look  at  them  in  a  new 
light! 

Remember  that  you  are  a  member  of  a  family — not  just 
any  family  but  one  with  faculty  acting  as  parents  who  will 
listen  to  your  materialistic  problems  and  help  you.  They 
will  meet  you  half  of  the  way,  because  that  is  the  way  to  do 
things  at  Milligan.  "Not  a  building."  your  Sutton  Hall,  but 
"a  home  away  from  home-" 

But  it  shall  not  be  a  home  away  from  home  unless  a 
J-ight  approach  is  used,  so  why  not  try  a  littl(»  cooperation  if 
you  feel  that  there  are  problems?  There  Is  a  lot  of  adjust- 
ing to  be  done  by  the  girls  at  Sutton  Hall,  but  being  a  mem- 
.  ber  of  the  MiUigon  family,  each  girl  shall  take  a  positive  ap- 
proach and  get  a  positive  reaction. 


FAREWELL 

By  NANCY  K.  SCHUSTER 

Each  season  unveils  her  beauty, 
then  quietly  tiptoes  out  of  sight 
for  a  spell.  Autumn  has  rushed 
upon  us  now,  painting  a  vibrant 
picture  of  reds  and  golds.  We 
are  dazzled  by  her  crisp  fresh- 
ness, yet  hesitant  to  see  another 
lovely,  lazy  summertime  die. 

girange  how  each  season  is- so 
different,  but  so  magnificant.  We 
hate  to  see  the  beauty  of  one 
pass:  we  are  thrilled  by  the  ar- 
rival of  the  splendor  of  another 

So  it  is  of  people  and  of  life. 
There  is  morose  sadness  in  the 
death  of  all^  that  is  around  us. 
and  still  there  follows  extreme 
joy  and  gladness. 

The  death  of  our  Saviour  held 
such  tragedy  that  even  the  sun 
became  enshrouded  in  a  crepe 
of  black.  Three  short  days  later, 
great  beauty  and  eternal  rejoic- 
ing filled  the  heart  of  every 
Christian. 

That  which  is  great  and  beau- 
tiful never  dies  but  instead  lives 
over  and  over  again.

talk  of  MilUgan  tradition.  The 
dream  for  its  construction  became 
a  reality  in  1954  when  an  anony- 
mous donor  gave  $100,000  to 
i  "start  the  ball  rolling."  This  is 
Milligan  tradition  that  the  col- 
lege keeps  with  the  new  demands 
of  each  school  year.  As  the 
months  pass,  Milligan  is  taking 
its  place  of  prestige  among  the 
colleges  of  the  nation  which  are 
experiencing  continual  growth. 

The  abundance  of  youth  of  col- 
lege age  makes  for  an  increase  in 
needed  college  facilities,  and  Mil- 
ligan is  helping  to  fill  that  need 
with  the  completion  of  its  new 
women's  dorm.  Here  Christian 
girls  make  their  living  quarters 
for  the  forthcoming  college  years, 
and  within  these  walls  individ- 
ual Tives  will  portray  ideals  of 
Christian  education — ideals  for 
which  Milligan  College  stands. 

Tomorrow  .  *  . 

The  work  has  ju3t  begun,  how 
ever,  for  the  future  holds  many 
things  yet  to  be  accomplished. 
Some  of  these  things  will  only 
be  gained  by  trial  and  error, 
some  only  by  cooperation,  and 
some  only  with  time. 

The  landscaping  h 
be^n  completed,  and  though  the 
building  in  itself  is  beautiful,  the 
grass  and  shrubs  will"  add  those 
finishing  touches  that  will  com- 
plete the  picture. 

A  dream  will  really  come  to 
life  when  the  road  up  to  "the 
hill"  is  hard  surfaced  and  the 
parking  lot  is  paved  and  marked 
off.  The  situation  has  improved 
greatly  since  school  opened  in 
September,  but  there  is  still  room 
for  great  improvements. 

Therecreation  room  has  not  yet 
been  equipped.  It  is  rumored 
thaf  one  of  the  classes  plans  to 
place  ping-pong  tables,  addi- 
tional soft  drink  machines  and 
furniture  in  the  recreation  room. 

The  parlors,  likewise,  are  not 
furnished.  Besides  sofas,  tables, 
lamps,  and  pictures  there  is  a 
great  need  for  pianos.  The  drap- 
eries have-not  yet  been  acquired 
either.  •   ■   . 

Recently  a  path  was  made  from 
the  old  collegt  Store  and  lamp 
posts  have,  been  erected  along- 
side the  path.  It  is  now  groveled, 
but  it  will  bo  ^vcd  In  the  fu- 
ture. 

Yes,  the  work  is  just  Starting, 
but  one  can  look  forward  to  that 
day  when  he  can  stand  back 
with  pride  and  lift  his  eyes  to 
that  which  has  been  created  .  .  .

The  Roving  Reporter  , 

Bt  pat  ROBERTS 

Well,  here  we  are  back  at  dear 
old  M  C.  again-  In  fact  we've 
been  here.  long  enough  already 
to  be. snowed  under  with  outside 
reading,  themes,  term  papers, 
end  countless  other  activities.  A 
lot  has  happened  since  we've 
been  back,  and  I  suppose  that 
the  topic  that  has  dominated 
-more  conversations  than  any- 
thing else  is  the  new  dorm,  Sut- 
ton Hall.  Therefore.  I  thought  it 
would  be  very  proper  and  fitting 
that  a  poll  be  taken  to  get  var- 
ious students'  reactions  to  this 
newest  addition  to  the  Milligan 
campus.  Here  are  some  of  the 
answers  that  I  received  when  I 
asked  the  question,  "What  do  you 
think  of  Sutton  Hall?" 

Blanca  Sanllago:  I  like  it!  It's 
certainly  beautiful. 

Ruth  Eaton:  Sutton  is  nice.  I 
really  like  the  new  furniture. 
The  constant  heat  is  wonderful, 
and  WOW!  '.  .  .  we're  free  from 
soot! 

John  Milli:  I'm  looking  forward 
to  seeing  the  public  address  sys- 
tem installed. 

Laura  Osbom:  It's  rather  in- 
convcnientl/i  located,  but  I  sup- 
pose the  view  makes  up  for  that. 

Pal  Bonn«r:  A  lorge  hotel  with 
no  mirrors! 

Jim  Fox:  I  have  no  interest  up 
there,, So  my  opinion  cannot^ be 
fexpresScd^  ; 

■  Th«lma  Sp«tr:  It's  nice,  -but  I 
mlsB  Hordin  Parlor, 

WttUy  t/mburgen  I  think  it 
will  take  time  for  the  newness  to 
wear  off.  When  it  does.  Sutton 
will  be  as  much  a  part  of  Milli- 
gan tradition  as  any  other  build- 
ing on  the  campus.

Sudents  Escape 
brious 

>n  the  evening  of  October  14, 
jaicnic  was  held  at'  Watauga 
tee.  After  the  picnic,  six  Mil- 
I  in  students  escaped  serious  ifi- 
)y  when  their  car  wrecked  en- 
r  te  to  school.- 

"his  article  was  written  by  an 
c  upant  of  that  car. 

■^le  night  was  quiet  ,  .  .  One 
c  those  nights  that  seem  unreal 
-  beautiful,  peaceful  night.  We 
ire  driving  along  the  lake  road, 
l-dng,  laughing,  all  us  non- 
[ilantly   taking  life  easy. 

;Tien  suddenly  we  were  skid- 
t  g.  You  could  hear  a  bumping 
imd,  a  crash,  then  smoke.  All 
I  knew  was, to  get  out  and  get 
[.  quicldy.  Although  one  door 
luld  not  open,  we  got  out  of 
t  otherone  in  record  time.  We 
:n't  know  at  the  time  that  if 
I  had  ojjened  the  other  door  we 
luld  have  been  set  off  balance 
[1  have  rolled  down  a  hill  for 
out  twenty  feet  The  door 
luld  not  open.  What  held  it? 
[d  .  .  .  Fate  .  .  .  Destiny?  Who 
ii  tell?  ' 

\s  the  smoke  cleared  away,  I 
[fan  to  notice  the  night  around 
[—the  eeriness  of*  the  quiet 
fiuty.  The  stars  were  clear 
Uinst  the  dark  blue  of  the  sky, 
\i  the  moon  was  floodinng  the 
ha  with  soft,  silent  light.  Yqu 
Hid  see  the  lake  and  majestic 
(luntains  in  the  distance.  All  we 
Hid  hear  were  the  sobbing 
Imds  from  a  girl  crying  and 
li  sounds  of  the  night  filling  in 
I  background  music.  The  scene 
I  stamped  in  my  mind.'  • 
•The  decisions  we  made,  the  Im- 
Irtance  of  our  decisions,  and  th^ 
iietness    It  seems  like  a  weird 

ic^ome    quiet  dream    It's  most 


portunity  to  get  an  education 
they  otherwise  might  not 
have  obtained  had  their  par- 
ents lived. 

According  to  the  law,  the  vet- 
eran father  or  mother,  as  the  case 
may  be,  must  have  died  of  a  dis- 
ease incurred  or  aggravated  in 
the  line  of  duty  in  active  military 
service.  Further,  if  death  oc- 
curred after  military  service,  the 
veteran  must  have  been  dis- 
charged under  conditions  other 
than  dishonorable  ones. 

Generally  the  students  who  re- 
ceives this  aid  must  be  between 
the  ages  of  18  and  23,  unless  he 
has  graduated  from  high  school 
before  the  age  of  18.  Up  to  36 
months  or  the  equivalent  of  36 
months  of  schooling  is  provided 
for  such  qualified  students. 

Milligan  College  qualifies  as 
one  of  the  schools  jn  which  a  stu- 
dent may  get  an  education  and 
come  within  the  requirements  of 
this  particular  law.  There  are 
three  students  currently  receiv- 
ing such  benefits  from  this  new 
program.  It  is  possible  that  there 
may  be  other  students  in  the  col- 
lege who  will  qualify  for  such 
financial  aid.  If  any  of  the  Mil- 
ligan students  desire  to  know  the 
nature  of  the  program,  this  in- 
formation can  be  obtained  either 
through  the  Business  Office  or 
the  Registrar's  Office. 


F.T.A.  Club  Meets 

The  first  F.T.A.  meeting  of  the 
year  was  held  Tuesday  night, 
October  16,  1956.  Sponsors  of  the 
club  are  Miss  Floyd  and  Dean 
Oakes. 


unreal  experience  I  ever  had  and 
I  will  never  torget  it.  The  mem- 
ory of  the  night  continues  to 
wake  me  with  its  stillness.  It  was 
a  qiiiet  autumn  night  which  I 
shall  long  remember  as  a  time 
when  hfe  "was  granted  In  place 
of  death 


The   Student 
Council  Acts 

I  ask  you  what  is  the  Student 
Council?  Is  it  not  ycrar  voice  in 
the  government  of  Milligan  Col- 
lege? You  can  answer  these  ques^ 
tions  in  your  own  ■  mind.. '  but 
while  you  are  thinking  them  over. 
I  would  like  to  tell  you  sonie  of 
the  things  that  your  Student 
Council  is  trying  to  do  for  you 
this  year.' 

We  tried  to  organize  the  Fresh- 
man-Week Program  this  year  so 
that  it  would  be  the  best  pos- 
sible. We  feel  that  the  Program 
was  a  great  success  and  we  owe 
a  big  THANKS  to  the  Freshmen 
and  upperclassmen  who  are  the 
ones  who  made  the  success  pos- 
sible. We  also  have  taken  sugges- 
tions and  criticisms  of  the  week 
and  passed  them  on  as  sugges- 
tions for  improvements  on  next 
year's  week  ,  .  .  here's  hoping 
that  it  too  will  be  a  great  success. 

We  all  are  aware  that  there 
were  and  still  are  many  problems 
to  bte  faced  in  the  cafeteria  this 
year.  All  of  us  realize  that  the 
food  isn't  exactly  Uke  "Mam- 
ma's", but  we  ALL  are  trying  to 
improve  it  and  make  meals  more 
like  those  at  home.  We  have  ask- 
ed for  your  cooperation  in  other 
matters  in  the  dining  room,  such 
as  forming  lines  and  line  cutting. 
Thanks  for  your  cooperation. 

We  have  offered  to  those  who 
stay  on  Campus  on  Saturday  eve- 
nings the  recreation  and  fun  at 
Cheek  Hall,  and  the  entertain- 
*ment,  food,  and  fellowship  at 
Hardin  aiterward.  "Come  up  and 
join  us  some  time",  we  have  a 
BALL!  Seriously,  how  do  you 
like  the  parties?  We  would  like 
to  know  what  you  think  about 
them.  Do  you  want  to  continue 
having  them,  or  make  them  few- 
er? Let  us  know  what  you  truly 
think  about  them. 

We  have  had  ONE  of  the  "Bull 
Sessions"  that  we  hope  will  help 
you  have  an  even  stronger -Voice 
in  the  government  of  Milligan. 
In  these  meetings  we  want  you 
to  feel  free  to  bring  up ,  your 
problems. 

We,  the  Student  Council,  are 
to  serve  you  6nd  do  oiiV  best  to 
solve  those,  problems  that  are 
troubling  you.  We  want  to  do  our 
part  in  keeping  the  Family  of 
Milligan  a  contented  one.  We  ex- 
tend to  you  an  invitation  to  bring 
to  us  your  suggestions  and  com- 
plaints, and  we  will  do  our  best 
to  solve  and  act  upon  them.  We 
truly  are  striving  to  be  your  voice 
in  Student  affairs.

SALTED  BY  BARBARA  WILLIAMS 


Greetings  all  of  you  earth  people.  It's  time  for  another 
edition  of  that  much  talked  about  column.  (And  you  should; 
hear  what  they're  saying).  ,  ' 

First  of  all,  let  me  issue  an  invitation  to  any  ambitiouis 
young  man  who  would  like  to  have  the  job  of  writing  the 
news  from  Pardee,  to  come  and  see  me.  (Flash!  Gord  E.  Fair- 
child  has  answ£red  my  call  for  help.)  I  really  hate  for  the  gals 
of  Hardin  and  Sutton  to  monopolize  this  column.  I'm  sure 
that  there  are  some  things  that  happen  in  the  Hall  of  Pardee 
that  are  printable. 

Since  the  girls  are  really  on  the  ball  I'll  have  to  tell  all 
the  Isitest  from  Hardin.  It  seems  so  far  away  but  it's  still 
a  very  big  part  of  the  life  of  Milligan.  Now,  at  last,  the  19 
residents  thereof  are  over  that  first  little  pang  of  homesick- 
ness and  are  slowly  learning  the  rules  of  dorm  life.  And 
loving  it  I  understand.  There  are  seven  states  represented 
in  Hardin.  There  are  5  girls  from  Indiaria;  4  from  Virginia; 
3  from  Ohio;  3  from  Tennessee;  2  from  Illinois  and  Kentucky 
and  Pennsylvania  have  1  each.  , 

The  girls  are  happy  that  Mrs.  Dowdy  is  back  with  us  to 
be  their  housemother- 

With  a  rumble  of  moving  furniture  up  and  down  stairs 
and  from  room  to  room;  a  clang  of  the  piano;  a  friendly 
"Hello"  and  a  loud  scream  of  "Shut  up,  girls  it's  quiet  hours" 
the  Hardinites  are  beginiTing  to  feel  right  at  home  and  to  look 
forward  to  a  wonderful  year. 

•        «        • 

Two  girls  were  elected  dorm  council  representatives 
from  Hardin.  These  gals  are  Averil  Lease  and  Mildred  Tur- 
ner. 

-  Janet  Gilbert  is  among  those  who  make  up  the  cheer- 
leading  squad  for  this  season.  Linda  Morgan  and  Ruth  Ham- 
mack  are  alternate  cheerleaders.  Congratulations,  girls — let's 
get  out  there  and  yell  !  !  ! 

,*        •        • 

Cupid  has  really  painted  his  arrow  on  the  h^rts  of  the 
Hardin  girls  as  Joann  Ritz  and  Linda  Morgan  have  already 
received  diamonds  from  Dick  VanBuren  and  Jim  Ensell.  (Ed. 
note:  Have  these  girls  had  their  cold  shower  yet??)  Mildred 
Turner  has  been  seen  with  Glenn  Osborne  lately,  and  Averil 
Lease  has  found  an  interest  in  a  guy  named  Pete  (??).  Marcia 
Ford  seems  to  "bubble  over"  when  a  certain  "big  guy"  walks 
by.  (This  one  has  really  got  me  baffled).  A  very  handsome 
foursome  is  Ruth  and  Bob  and  Earlene  and  John  A.  Williams. 
Then  there  are  those  people  who  are  faithful  to  that  "guy 
back  hom&"  lik^  JoAnn  Swinford.  Glad  to  hear  that  is  still 
being  done.  Say,  It  is  time  I  went  out  through  the  big  front 
doors,  down  the  steps,  and  up  that  BIG  hill  to  Sutton. 

Sutton  can  boast  ,spme  ("heer leader?;  ton  Poxy,  Dianne 
and  Pat  are  the  veterans  who  are  returning  to  the  squad.  Jan 
Rinnert,  who  was  an  alternate  last  year  and  Wanda  Storrefan 
are  the  newcomers  from-Sutton.  Way  we  go  !  !!  ! 

The  big  colossal  news  in  Sutton  is  the  arrival  of  a  big 
.huge  red.  white  and  blue  Pepsi  machine  which  is  adominff 
the  big  empty  room,  in  the  basement.  Sure  wish  there  was 
some  way  to  get  some  company  for  the  po<?r  thing.  It  looks: 
so  lonely  there.  CThat's  a  subtle  hint). 

A  couple  weeks  ago  there  was  a  party  held  for  Donna 
Ward.  Since  the  surprise  leaked  out  the  girls  decided  to  come 
dressed  in  rather  unusual  costumes  (!!)  Even  though  the  party 
was  not  a  surprise  to  Donna,  surely  those  outfits  would  sur- 
prise anyone. 

More  recently  Billie  Blankenship  was  surprised  (and  X 
do  mean  surprised)  by  a  birthday  party  given  at  the  home 
of  a  "friend"  of  Billie's  who  lives  up  the  road, 'A  good  time 
was  had  by  all. 

-    Congratulations  to  "Charlie"  and  MarWn — they're  goings 
steady — in  case  you  didn't  know. 

Seems  like  these  Sutton  gals  are  really  getting  to  be  the- 
travelers.  Dianne  and  Patsy  took  a  trip  to  Radford,  Va.  Never 
did  find  out  why!!!  Julie  and  Ethlyn  accompanied  the  "Way- 
farers" to  North  Carolina  so  that  Julie  could  take  a  peek  at 
Bowman-Grey  Med  School.  Maybe  the  bovs  were  singing 
there??? 

There  seems  to  be  a  new  club  on  campus.  It'stlie  Dic- 
tionary Club  dedicated  to  the  brightening  up  of  Sutton  Hall 
and  to  bring  a  bit  of  joy  unto  the  girls  of  Sutton  which  is  a 
very  fine  ambition.  Of  course,  the  club's  most  famous  mem- 
ber is  a  little  gal  who  makes  everyone's  heart  a  little  lighter 
by  doing  a  grand  slam  impersonation  of  Ehis  Presley  com-- 
plete  with  tennis  racquet  for  a  guitar. 

'•""•■-•'  ..._-_ 

Visitors  are  in  abundpnce  this  season.  Among  the*;e  were 
Connie  Strickland's  parents,  brother,  and  friend.  Kurt.  Also 
Toni  Larcom's  mother  and  "Turtle's"  mother  and  brother. 
Several  illustrious  alumni  have  been  back  to  see  us.  JerrV 
Lindell  got  a  leave  from  Uncle  Sam  and  dropped  in  for  a: 
while.  Don  Williams  got  n  oarole  from  the  Pennington  Gap, 
Va..  jail  and  paid  us  a  visit.  And  Maggie  Butler  runs  over 
from  Boone's  Creek  even.-  once  in  while  in  that  nfew  car  of 
hers.  It  really  pays  to  graduate. 

I  think  with  this  last  statement  I'd  better  quit  while  I'm 
still  able  to-  So  1  shall  make  my  way  dowm  the  hall  to  the 
stairs  and  proceed  to  the  dining'hall  where  I  might  possibly 
get  some  big  news — who  knows?  ?T  Bye.  bye  for  now.

"M"  Club  Organized  On  Campus; 
Officers  Elected  For  1956-'57  Term 

The  "M"  Club  is  once  again  on  the  Milligan  campus  as 
an  organized,  "initiating"  club.  Perhaps  the  word  '.'i^tiatmg 
means  nothing  to  the  reader  .  ■  .  this  initiation  is  a  sort  of 
Ste  in  which  all  members  of  the  club  must  participate  in 
order  to  be  enrolled.  This  initiation  is  as  vita  to  the  club  as 
its  constitution  Th&  "M"  Club  was  onginaUy  founded  on 
December  3,  1921.  with 
twenty-one  charter  member^ 

In  1950  it  became  dormant  and 
wntU  this  year  has  not  been  or- 
ganized in  any  way.  The  name 
<jf  the  club  is  self-explanatory.  A 
male  or  female  must  earn  a  let- 
ter in  an  intercollegiate  varsity 
sport  to  be  eligible  for  club  mem- 
bership. This  adds  significance  to 
the  sports  monogram  as  well  as 
making  such  a  cliSb  possible. 

The  club  has  several  objectives 
to  accomplish,  and  in  general 
they  are  as  follows:  to  foster  fel- 
lowship, good  sportsmanship,  and 
athletic  Interest  in  the  school. 
Perhaps  most  important  is  its 
aim  to  promote  good  will  in  and 
for  Milligan  and  to  uphold  the 
fine  standards  contained  therein. 

The  club  has  a  few  requests 
which  it  submits  to  the  students, 
asking  their  cooperation  with 
them,  since  it  cannot  use  physi- 
cal force  to  enforce  said  requests. 
These  are  that  the  students  re- 
frain from  wearing  high  school 
monograms  on  campus  (athletic 
or  otherwise),  and  that  students 
do  not  wear  their  "M's"  on  a 
white  sweater.  The  white  sweat- 
er is  the  sign  of  a  graduate  or  an 
undefeated  season.  Since  we  as 
students  are  not  graduates,  and 
since  wo  as  a  school  have  not  any 
recent  undefeated  seasons,  we 
think  It  is  not  unreasonable  to 
ask  that  the  students  with  mono- 
grams wear  them  with  a  black 
sweater  until  they  have  grad' 
uBted. 

The  only  other  measure  we  as 
a  club  wish  upheld  is  for  those 
outside  of  the  club  who  have 
monograms.  This  is  that  the  "M" 
bo  treated  with  respect  and 
honor  and  that  it  not  be  worn  or 
displayed  by  a  person  who  by  his 
acts  is  causing  the  "M"  to  bo 
looked  upon  with  dishonor.  These 
three  things  we  ask  of  the  stu-

Bt  DUARD  AI-DRII>GE 
The  class  of  '57  chose  as  its 
project  a  memorial  to  Calvin 
Doughertyi  After  much  discus- 
sion and  a  lot  of  hard  work,  the 
class  decided  to  place  in  the  li- 
brary a  new  Card  Catalogue  with 
a  bronze  plaque  designating  its 
dedication  to  the  school  as  a  me- 
morial to  Calvin  Dougherty.  The 
class  also  plans  to  continue  add- 
ing to  the  Calvin  Dougherty 
Memorial  Fund  after  the  class  of 
1057  has  graduated. 

The  project  was  completed  at 
the  end  of  the  1955-50  school 
year,  and  was  dedicated  in  one 
of  the  chapel  programs.  Any 
money  the  class  has  in  the  treas- 
ury at  the  present  time  will  be 
paid  into  the  fund  for  future  use. 


dents,  and  we  feci  that  none  of 
them  are  either  unreasonable  or 
impossible  to  perform. 
,  The  club  has  as  its  officers  for 
the  1956-'57  school  year  the  fol 
lowing:  President,  John  Hall; 
Vice-President,  Duard  Aldridge; 
Secretary-Treasurer,  Marvin  Swi 
ney,  and  Sergeant- at- arms,  Jim 
Fox. 

The  plana  being  made  for  this 
year  consist  of  several  banquets. 
Including  a  large  athletic  banquet 
in  the  spring  for  members  and 
invited  guests. 

The  "M"  Club  hopes  to  pre 
sent  to  Milligan  the  fine  spirit  of 
enthusiasm  and  manhood  that 
will  command  the  respect  of 
those  about  us  and  will  unite  the 
student  body  in  the  one  big  slo'

Barter  Theatre 
Gives  Presentation 
At  Milligan 

Milligan  College  was  again 
honored  with  the  presentation  of 
another  great  Barter  Theatre,  pro- 
duction on  Friday,  October  5. 
ITieir  presentation  of  The  Living 
ThsBtrs  portrayed  the  theatre  of 
live  actors,  lively  audiences,  and 
vital  human  plays,  comedlea.  j 
tragedies,  dramas  and  farces  and, 
illustrated  how  the  theatre  has 
been  the  favorite  form  of  enter- 
tainment for  over  three  thousand 
years,  ^e  Barter  players  pre- 
sented a  panorama  of  entertain- 
ment from  the  Golden  Age  of 
Greece  to  the  Aspirin  Age  of  to- 
day. 

Given  the  elements  of  a  stage, 
an  actor,  and  an  audience;  they 
drew  the  most  pot«nt  scenes  from 
the  world's  best  writing — the 
cream  of  the  world's  theatre. 

The  group  used  as  their  thesis 
the  fact  that  the  theatre  is  fun, 
is  necessary  and  is  alive — and 
that  it  will  remain  so  for  a  long, 
long  time. 

Their  program  included  selec- 
tions from  among  the  following: 
Anllgon«,  Ertryman.  Vennlc* 
PreMmd,  Th«  Rivali,  Punch 
and  Judy,  JuiHc*,  and  Dsalh  of 
a  Saleiman. 

The  company  of  the  Barter 
Theatre  were  as  follows:  Jerry 
Hardin,  who  functioned  as  actor, 
director  and  M.  C;  Del  Close,  co- 
director;  Marcia  Hubert,  who  was 
Julie  Harris'  choice  for  the  1956 
Barter  Award;  Annette  Hunt, 
who  plays  the  leading  role  in 
Paul  Green's  WUd«m*ai  Road,  an 
outdoor  drama  presented  annual' 
ly  at  Berea.  Kentucky;  Richard 
McKcnzlc,  who  has  been  with 
Barter  for  two  seasons;  and  Mitch 
Ryan,  who  was  the  founder  of 
the  successful  Carriage  House 
Art  Theatre  in  Louisville.  Ken- 
tucky. 


,n  that  counts,  but  the  way  we 
play  to 


Most  men  arc  pessimists  when 


remembrance   that    it  is  not   the  , they  arc  making  up  their  minds 


to  buy — but  they  like  to  buy  from 
an  optimist. 


Twirp  Week  Enjoyed  At  Milligan; 
Women  Requested  To  Pay 

"Girls,  we  think  you  will  agree  that  it  just  isn't  as  easy 
to  find  boys  as  it  used  to  be." 

So  began  the  TWIRP  booklet  and  so  began  a  week  of 
every  woman  for  herself. 

Looking  back  from  this  side,  it  was  quite  a  week:  A  para- 
dise for  the  men  of  Pardee,  Cheek,  and  Wolf,  and  a  time  of 

free-spending    for     the    gals.  — 

The  final  word  from  the  dis- 
taff side  seemed  to  be  "I  sure 
do  feel  sorry  for  the  guys, 
having  to  spend  money  like 
this  the  year  round!" 

Sponsored  by  the  Junior  Class, 
TWmp  Week  this  year  was  real- 
ly full  to  over-flowing. 

Sunday,  the  week  started  in 
church,  morning  and,  evening. 

Monday,  the  Freshmen  spon- 
sored Sadie  Hawkins  Day—  a 
very  essential  matter  in  these 
waning  days  of  Leap  Year,  Chris- 
tian Service  Club  that  evening 
offered  a  panel  discussion  as  Its 
program. 

Tuesday  night  was  the  first 
real  chance  for  the  girls  to  take 
advantage  of  their  extra  night 
out  which  Miss  Welshimer  and 
Dean  Oakes  granted  us. 

Wednesday  night  everyone  was 
urged  to  attend  prayer  meetings 
in  the  area, 

Thursday  evening  featured  an 
all-campos  prayer  meeting  and, 
later,  a  movie  sponsored  by  the 
Junior  class.  The  Sutton  Theatre 
did  a  land-office  business  even 
though  the  movie  distributors  did 
forget  to  lend  the  Mister  Magoo 
cartoon!  (To  you  all,  our  humble 
apologies') 

Friday  evening  ushered  In  the 
County  Fair.  What  a  great  eve- 
ning! Sawduit  and  candy  apples 
and  concessions  and  Madame  Zo- 
ra  and  an  unequaled  beauty  con- 
test and  talent  all  over  the  place 
— the  Seniors  really  outdid  them- 
selves for  the  ,TWTRP  Week 
special. 

Saturday  night  Milligan  was  on 
the  town.  Johnson  City  drew 
most  of  us,  but  Bristol  and  Kings- 
port  and  Betsy  all  saw  Milligan- 
ites,  too.

Annual  Smoky 

Trip  Taken 

By  M.  C.  Students 

On  October  23  five  busses  filled 
with  eager  mountain  enthusiasts 
left  the  Milligan  College  campua 
enroute  to  the  Great  Smoky 
Mountains — one  of  the  most 
beautiful  places  in  the  United 
States  in  the  fall.  The  first  rest 
stop  was  at  Asheville.  North 
Carolina.  Later  the  students 
stopped  at  the  Cherokee  Indian 
Reservation  for  a  two-hour  sight- 
seeing tour. 

The  climax  of  the  day — the  ac- 
tual trip  over  the  mountains — 
was  iilled  with  beauty,  fun,  and 
excitement.  Although  the  view 
from  the  top  of  the  Smokies  was 
poor  because  of  a  heavy  mist,  the 
many-colored  trees  were  clearly 
vbible  along  side  the  road  up 
the  mountains. 

After  crossing  the  mountains, 
the  last  stop  was  made  In  Gatlin- 
burg,  Tennessee,  or  "The  Gate- 
way to  the  Smokies"  as  it  is  call- 
ed. Following  the  e\-enlrtg  meal, 
one  bus  began  the  return  trip  to 
Milligan,  while  about  190  "Mil- 
liganites"  remained  in  Gatlin- 
burg  to  enjoy  an  outstanding  dra- 
matic production.  "The  Glass 
Menagerie." 

"The  Glass  Menagerie,"  which 
was  written  by  the  well-known 
American  playwright.  Tennessee 
Williams,  was  presented  by  the 
Gateway  Players.  Twice  a  recipi- 
ent of  the  Pulitzer  Prize,  Wil- 
liams has  written  several  success- 
ful plays,  among  which  are  "A 
Streetcar  Named  Desire"  and 
"The  Rose  Tattoo." 

The  last  bus  arri%'ed  home  at 
Milligan  at  2:15  a.m.,  Wednesday.

Book  Store  And  Business  Office 
Moved  To  New  Location,  Hardin  Hall 

One  day  Mr.  Stahl  was  seen  eagerly  trudging  back  and 
forth  from  the  Administration  Building  to  Hardin  Hall.  After 
recruiting  some  husky  followers,  he  spent  the  next  few  days 
in  moving  books  from  the  book  store  and  filing  cabinets  from 
the  Business  Office,  and  everyone  soon  knew  the  gcwd  news. 
Milligan  College  had  so  expanded  as  to  once  again  merit  a 
moving   of   the  Business  Of-  " 


fice.  This  represents  the  un- 
questionable growth  of  MilU- 
gan  College  and  the  Christian 
Education  as  a  whole. 

Mr.  Ray  Stahl,  the  Execu- 
tive Secretary,  and  Mr.  Joe 
McCormick,  the  Vice-Presi- 
dent, then  moved  into  their 
newly  painted  office  in  the 
basement  of  Hardin  Hall. 

Mrs.  James  Devault  made 
the  change  with  Mr.  Stahl 
and  Mr.  McCormick  and  is 
now  in  charge  of  the  new 
book  store.  The  book  store 
provides  the  necessary  text 
books,  laboratory  paper,  lab- 
oratory manuals.  Bibles  for 
those  students  taking  religion 
subjects,  and  the  required  ap- 

garel  for  gymnasium  classes, 
dissecting  kits  are  also  made 
available  for  the  students 
through  the  book  store. 

Mrs.  Arlene  Mahannah  re- 
mains secretary  to  Mr,  Stahl, 
and  Mrs.  Nancy  Dixon  is 
bookkeeper  of  the  Business 
Office. 

Miss  Judie  Spurling,  a 
sophomore,  has  charge  of  the 
mailing  list.  Beth  Kinney,  a 
sophomore.  Mildred  Turner, 
a  freshman,  and  Malissa  Mc- 
Kinley,  a  junior,  are  switch- 
board operators,  Nancy  Stur- 
gill,  a  sophomore,  is  being 
trained  for  switchboard  ser- 
vice, too. 

We  are  all  pleased  at  this 
increase  and  expansion  of 
Milligan  College  and  look  for- 
ward to  the  time  when  Mr. 
Stahl  will  move  to  the  first 
floor  of  Hardin  as  well. 


Christian  Service  Week

Monday,  November  12,  be- 
gan our  annual  Christian  Ser- 
vice week. 

At  the  close  of  each  speak- 
er's message,  there  was  a  dis- 
cussion. Questions  were  asked

audience  participating. 

On  Monday,  our  speaker 
was  a  graduate  of  Milligan,  a 
cousin  of  Dr-  Owen  Crouch. 
Dr.  Edwin  Crouch,  of  Colum- 
bus, Ohio  is  a  lawyer.  He  is 
gerieral  counselor  for  the  Col-

Do  You  Know  What  You  Have  Here? 
Your  Home  -  The  Fold  Or  The  Sty? 

In  1845  two  German  lads  came  to  the  United  States.  The 
older  brother  had  learned  to  be  a  sauerkraut  maker  in  Ger- 
many. He  was  soon  caught  by  the  lure  of  the  West,  so  set  out 
in  a  covered  wagon  for  California,  He  established  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  labora- 
tory in  New  York  City.  At  the  end  of  three  years,  he  finished 
hia  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 — sauer- 
kraut or  gold.  Here  at  Milligan  you  are  going  to  find  that  for 
which  you  are  looking.  If  you  haye  come  to  college  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  Milligan 
Without  being  fitted  for  any  important  task,  On  the  other 
hand,  if  you  are  earnestly  seeking  knowledge  and -have  a  de- 
sire 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  ac- 
cepted. -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  swihe  to  the  sty,  so  it  will  be 
when  you  go  out  into  the  world— what  direction  you  will  go 
in  will  depend  on  whether  you  have  learned  to  be  at  home, 
In  the  fold  or  the  sty.— Mildred  Welshimer. . 

What  Are  Your  Chances?  • 

As  you  consider  the  many  fields  which  you  would  Uke  to  have 
added  to  our  small  liberal  arts  college,  probably  one  of  the  most 
demanded  Is  the  field  of  home  economfci.  In  this  modem  age,  with 
the  countless  gadgets  and  machines  to  add  to  our  convenience,  we 
need  this  course  to  learn  to  open  cans  and  to  push  the  button  to 
the  dishwasherl 

Seriously,  every  girl  does  need  to  know  how  to  run  a  home  ef- 
ficiently and  to  perform  the  basic  and  fundamental  tasks  of  home- 
making.  Not  only  would  such  an  added, field  delight  the  girls,  but 
the  boys  as  well,  since  they  would  be  rather  "indirectly"  benefitted. 

There  are  numberless  opportunities  and  jobs  open  for  girls  who 
are  home  economics  majors.  To  name  a  few,  there  are  teaching, 
home  demonstration  work,  radio.  TV,  dietetics,  food  research,  bak- 
ery work,  4-H,  FHA,  and  countless  others.  It  invades  the  field  of 
art,  Including  interior  decorating,  textile  and  fashion  designing,  etc. 

Other  things  included  are  nutrition,  architectural  drawing, 
various  types  of  economics  and  budget  courses,  home  management 
and  child  care.  It  also  Involves  a  lot  of  science,  and  who  says  that  . 
is  easy?

1937  Student  Council  PreaidenL 

Freshman  Student  Council  Members 
Installed;  Jim  Kohls  Sets  Forth 
Council's  Purpose  To  Milligan  Family 

"Now  it  is  a  new  academic  year  ancf  we  are  taking  on 
new  blood — a  transfusion  is  needed  because,  of  the  loss  of 
last  year's  seniors.  The  new  group  is  made  up  of  Freshmen. 
We  are  assimilating,  a  new  faction  into  the  Milligan  Family. 
We  must  have  leadership  fcom  this  new  group.  They  must 
have  a  voice  in  their  Student  Government  It  did  not  take  me 
long  to  realize  the  potential  of  this  new  addition  and  I  do 
not  believe  it  did  you  either.  They  are  loaded  with  talent  and 
leadership  and  are  presently  making  a  great  contribution 
to  MiUigan. 

"They  have  chosen  their  leadership  to  the  Student  Coun- 
cil and  I  do  not  believe  they  could  be  better  represented  than 
by  David  McCord,  president;  and  Euphon  Sumner,  Repre- 
sentative. 

"Upon  the  acceptance  of  these  representatives,  their  am- 
bassadors. Freshmen,  I  ask  you  to  feel  no  longer  an  addition 
to  Milligan  as  a  new  faction  or  an  outside  force,  but  upon 
this  formal  declaration  of  your  acceptance  of  us  and  ours  of 
you  we  ail  unite  as  one — one  Milligan  Family. 

"This  is  a  Student  Government — to  govern  means  to  reg- 
ulate, to  control,  to  restrain  or  to  rule,  but  under  this  concept 
we  do  not  merely  function,  but  we  act  chiefly  upon  tradi- 
tions and  ideals  that  are  Indicative  to  a  Christian  community. 

"The  success  or  failure  of  any  government  can  only  de- 
pend upon  that  which  it  governs.  Our  success  is  because  of 
your  attitudes  and  your  cooperation.  You  chose  us  and  we 
were  greatly  honored  and  accepted  the  responsibility.  Your 
everj-  wish  is  our  command,  in  so  far  as  it  is  in  accord  with 
the  traditions  of  Milligan  and  the  ideals  of  Christianity.  We 
are  not  puppets  changed  by  pulling  strings — but  we  act  as 
ambassadors  well  informed  for  the  benefit  of  the  majority, 
and  upholding  the  Constitution  of  the  Student  Government 

"To  yoii,  the  Student  Council,  I  charge  you:  to  faithfully 
execute  the  policies  of  this  constitution,  to  initiate  the  proper 
decorum  as  elected  leaders,  to  earnestly  strive  to  represent 
your  constituents  to  the  Council,  to  realize  sincerely  and  in- 
corporate in  your  life  the  purpose  of  this  Body — to  exert  your- 
selves to  promote  student  desires  and  their  welfare  and  to 
promote  an  intimate  student-faculty  relationship. 

"It  is  the  aim  of  this  Student  Council  and  my  prayer  and 
strength  that  when  1956-'57  passes  into  the  clouds  of  time, 
history  will  write  of  it  in  the  sands  of  time,  'In  the  many  fine 
years  of  Milligan's  existence  there  never  has  been  a  finer, 
more  active  Student  Council".  Then  the  reason  it  will  give  is, 
'It  had  this  year  the  greatest,  most  efficient  Student  Body  to 
support  it,  supplemented  by  a  competent  faculty'.  " 

After  this  Dr.  Dean  E,  Walker,  President  of  the  College, 
issued  the  following  pledge  to  Jim.  '1  sincerely  pledge  to  up- 
hold the  constitution  of  the  Student  Body  of  Milligan  College 
and  to  discharge  faithfully  the  duties  incumbent  upon  my 
office." 

Jim  reciprocated  by  delivering  the  following  speech  of- 
acceptance: 

"I  most  sincerely  and  reverently  accept  this  obligation. 

I  feel  it  a  great  privilege  to  have  this  opportunity  of  service. 

"Last  May  you  honored  me  greatly  in  the  election  to  this 
office,  and  I  was  even  more  humbled  than  honored-  This  sin- 
cerity of  purpose  was  not  an  after-election  fancy.  This  feel- 
ing has  grown  in  me  until  I  have  become  obsessed  with  the 
ambition  to  expend  all  of  my  energies  in  any  way  in  which 
I  can  better  render  myself  a  more  effective  seni'ant.  My  heart 
contains  a  deep  humility  and  gratification  which  I  can  only 
express  overtly  by  the  <:onstant  incentive  to  live  the  office 
of  your  election."

Founder's  Day

Mllllgan  and  has  won  a  place 
in  the  hearts  of  all.  It  was  not 
founded,  as  some  have 
thought,  to  replace  the  foot- 
ball homecoming  celebration, 
although  in  practice  it  may 
have  accomplished  similar  re-

Dr.  Dean  E.  Walker,  presi-

stated  that  "the  Founder's

friends — to  illustrate  the  fact 
that  the  founding  principles

CHRISTIAN  SERVICE  CLUB 

The  Christian  Service  Club  had  Mr.  Robert  Fife  speak  to  them 
Monday  night,  November  12,  on  "Courtship  and  Marriage."  Profes- 
sor Fife  pointed  out  the  two  most  important  decisions  a  person 
must  make  in  his  life;  first,  the  decision  concerning  God;  and  sec- 
ond, the  decision  concerning  a  'life  mate.  He  stressed  the  fact  that 
real  love  must  first  be  of  the  spirit,  and  that  the  physical  aspects 
should  take  second  place. 

The  purpose  of  courtship  is  for  companionship  and  understand- 
ing of  the  other  person  involved.  Courtship  gives  an  opportunity 
to  become  acquainted  with  the  other's  character,  ideals,  and  senti- 
ments. If  there  is  a  satisfactory  spiritual  and  mental  relationship, 
the  other  aspects  of  love  develop  naturally  and  gradually.  ■ 

M!r.  Fife  gave  a  few  measures  by  which  one  can  analyze  a  court- 
ship. Is  God  present  in  the  character  and  nature  of  the  courtship? 
What  does  the  other  make  of  you?  Does  the  relationship  build  you 
up  or  drag  you  down?  How  do  your  parents  view  the  courtship?  Do 
you  have  the  same  ideals?  What  effect  does  separation  have  upon 
your  feeling  for  one  another?  Do  you  respect  the  other  person?  By 
these  and  other  standards  a  courtship  can  be  measured. 

In  closing  Professor  Fife  expressed  the  thought  that  love  is  a 
sentiment,  an  ideal,  surrounded  by  emotions.  The  manner  in  which 
these  emotions  are  expressed  shows  the  true  feeling  of  love  one 
has  for  another. 

In  the  November  19,  meeting  of  the  Christian  Service  Club 
there  was  a  panel  discussion  on  courtship.  The  panel  consisted  of 
Miss  Welshimer,  Dianhe  Bartchy,  Al  Covel,  Del  Harris,  and  Barbara 
Smith.

THE    MILLIG AN    STAMPEDE 


Thursday,  November  42,  1856 


The 
Stampede^s 


SPORTSECTION 

PHIL  BRADFORD,  Sports  Editor 


Why  do  we  have  an  athletic  program  at  MUligan  Col- 
lege? Why  does  the  school  go  to  all  the  trouble  of  hiring  an 
athletic  director  —  "coach"  to  you  vemacular-ites — buying 
equipment,  and  providing  a  proper  physical  environment  for 
the  various  sports?  Are  we  as  spectators  relating  ourselves 
to  something  which  Is  meaningful  when  we  manifest  our 
'fanatical  team  support  in  what  wfe  call  school  spirit?  In  my 
'  opinion  there  are  positive  answers  to  these  and  related  ques- 
tions. 

God  has  given  each  of  us  a  spirit,  a  mind,  and  a  body 

with  which  to  serve  Him.    Just  as  it  is  true  that  we  will  lose 

a  talent  or  the  knowledge  of  a  fact  if  we  do  not  use  them,  it 

,  is  true  that  if  we  do  not  exercise  our  spirits,  our  minds,  and 

our  bodies,  we  "will  lose  the  use  of  them. 

Worship  is  that  provision  which  has  been  made  for  the 

exercise  of  our  spirits.    We  pray,  we  sing,  we  gather  at  the 

-    Lord's  table  in  order  to  worship  God,  and  In  the  continuance 

of  these  activities  of  worship  we  find  that  we  are  able  to  grow 

closer  to  God,  that  we  are  able  to  grow  in  our  spiritual  rela 

,  tionships  as  Christians. 

Thought  and  study  are  exercises  intended  for  the  de- 
velopment of' our  minds.  We  study  to  accumulate  knowledge, 
and  we  think  in  order  to  relate  the  different  elements  of  that 
knowledge.  Someone  has  jokingly  said  to  me,  "Why,  I'm'  intel 
^igent,  but  I  just  can't  think.  "But  the  fact  is  that  if-you  are 
intelligent,  you  will  think,  and  thereby  exercise  the  mind 
,  that  God  has  given  you. 

That  brings  to  the  more  obvious  element  of  physical 
exercise,  which  is  the  means  by  which  we  develop  the  bodies 
in  which  we  reside.  Possibly  because  our  bodies  are  the  more 
obvious  elements  of  our  make-up,  we  tend  sometimes  to 
overemphasize  the  exercise  of  the  body  in  our  daily  activi^ 
ties. 

But  if  we  are  to  be  the  well-rounded  personalities  that 
I  think  God  intends  us  to  be,  we  must  not  place  too  much 
emphasis  on  any  one  of  these  three  aspects.  Spirit,  mind, 
and  body  must  balance  if  we  are  to  develop  into  complete 
beings  which  are  reflections  of  the  image  in  which  we  have 
been  created. 

Here  at  Milligan  we  have  the  opportunity  to  develop 
into  mature,  complete  personalities  ...  we  worship,  we  study, 
and  we  play;  and  herein  I  believe  lie  the  positive  answers  to 
my  beginning  queries.  Our  athletic  department — and  here 
I  include  both  participants  and  spectators — is  the  manifesta- 
tion of  the  physical  exercise  which,  when  added  to  our  wor- 
ship and  our  study,  can  make  us  well-rqunded  men  and 
women. 

T^        *        * 

CADILU^C  OR  MODEL  T? 

By  the  time  this  copy  is  hot  off  the  presses,  Milligan's 
first  game  with  King  will  be  only  a  lukewarm,  memory.  But 
according  to  plan,  you  should  be  reading  this  the  day  after 
the  Buff's  second  game,  an  encounter  with  Union  College  on 
the  local  hardwood.  Due  to  insurmountable  difficulties  en- 
countered with  the  grandfather  clock,  I  can't  tell  you  about 
that  game,  but  if  you  have  any  "school  spizzerinctum"  in 
your  system  at  all,  you'll  know  at  least  the  outcome  of  the 
game,  and  it  should  be  apparent  to  all  enthusiasts  whether 
the  Buffs  are  starting  out  their  '56-'57  schedule  with  the 
power  of  a  new  Cadillac  or  that  of  a  Model  "T". 

Rebounding  won't  be  as  big  a  problem  this  year  as  it  has 
been  at  times  in  the  past.  The  overall  height  of  the  team  has 
increased,  with  six  boys  who  stretch  the  tape  to  6  ft.  2  in.,  or 
over.  Coach  Walker  is  also  trying  to  put  "kangaroo  shoes" 
on  the  team  In  practice  sessions.  Roger  Sizemore  is  only  5 
ft  9^  inches,  but  he  seems  to  have  been  taking  his  kangroo 
lessons  for  quite  some 'time.  He's  a  mertnber  of  the  "dunker's 
club,"  basketball  style. 

The  Buffaloes  are  missing  five  men  out  of  their  regular 
twelve  from  last  year — Glen  Barton,  Bud  Gaslin.  Norman 
Held,  and  Don  Williams  were  graduated,  and  Al  Covell  is 
still  with  us,  but  ineligible  to  play  for  the  first  semester,  and 
it  is  still  uncertain  whether  he  will  be  able  to  play  second 
semester. 

Last  season's  record  stands  at  U  won,  and  11  lost,  plus 
two  tournament,  games  in  the  lost  column.  Milligan's  point 
total  was  1923,  and  "her  opponents'  was  1966,  which,  accord- 
ing to  the  calendar,  is  ten  years  from  now.  .Greenwell  led 
the  Buff  scoring  with  308  points;  Harris  was  second,  scoring 
291  points  as  a  freshman,  and  hitting  his  best  against  Emory 
and  Henry  with  31;  Aldridge  Stood  third  in  the  point  totals 
with  287.     . 

"Sonny"  Smith,  a  junior  transfer  from  Holmes  Junior 
College  of  Goodman,  Mississippi,  averaged  15  points  per  game 
for  the  1955-'5&  season,  and  so  far  this  season  seems  to  know 
what  the  game  is  all  about,  io  put  it  mildly. 

Dermis  Greenwell  and  Duard  Aldridge  are  co-captain- 
ing a  team  this  year  which  is  three-fourths  Tennessean.  Only 
3  out  of  12  are  from  out  of  state — Van  Buren  from  Pittsburgh, 


Hale  Coaches  'B'  Squad: 
18  Games  On  Schedule 

By  PHIL  WORRELL 

The  reserve  team  ot,  as  it  is  more  commonly  called,  the  "B"  team,  has  begun  practice 
and  shows  promise  of  a  successful  season.  Under  the  direction  of  Coach  Nathan  Hale,  who 
shows  much  interest,  the  hopes  and  morale  of  the  well-balanced  squad  are  high. 

The  team  now  stands  at  17  men,  all  of  whom  are  capable  of  playing  good  basketball- 
It  is  composed  of  11  freshmen,  2  sophomores,  and  4  juniors.  Having  previous  "B"  team 
experience  are  sophomore  guards  Gary  Weaver  and  Phil 
Worrell,  along  with  junior  forward  Ron  Daughter^'.  Don 
Hyde,  a  junior  guard,  has  previous  college  experience  having  • 
played  two  years  at  Muskinghum  College.  Ohio. 

Five  of  the  freshmen  members  of  the  team  have  high 
school  varsity  experience;  these  are  Teeter  Robinson,  Clay- 
ton Banks,  Richard  Teaster,  John  Garland,  and  Johnny  Mc- 
Kamay. 

All  the  other  members  have  had"  experience  as  members 
of  YMCA,  church,  or  independent  teams.  They  are  freshmen 
Eric  CritCE,  Jim  Ensell,  John  A.  Williams,  Maurice  CruU, 
Charles  Sams,  and  Ray  Campbell;  and  juniors  Lloyd  Deyton 
and  Bob  Kroh.  Student  manager  for  the  team  is  Dick  Hawes. 
The  complete  schedule  has  not  yet  been  drawn  up,  but 
it  is  expected  that  the  "B"  team  will  have  15  to  18  games, 
most  of  which  will  be  played  as  preliminary  games  before 
the  varsity  home  games. 


Girls''  Vollyball 
Nets  Eight  Teams 

By   EARLENE    ORRMAN 

"Get  up  to  the  net!"  ."Watch 
that  holel"  Yes,  these  are  the 
cries  you  hear  in  the  gym  on 
Tuesday  and  Thursday  evenings 
at  6:00  P.  M-,  arid  following  pray- 
er moeling.  The  girls'  intramural 
volleyball  games  are  going  again, 

The  girls  who  signed  up  to  play 
have  been  divided  alphabetically 
into  eight  teanis.  Four  teams  play 
each  night,  with  two  games  be- 
ing played  at  the  same  time. 

Ten  games  have  been  played 
so  far.  There  are  four  poor  little 
teams  which  haven't  won  a  game, 
They  are  teams  one,  four,  six, 
and  seven.  Team  two  has  won 
one  game.  Team  three  has  won 
two  games,  and  teams  five  and 
eight  have  won  three  games-each. 
Team  two  need'  not  feel  so  proud 
of  their  single  win,  because  it  was 
a  forfeit.  When  there  is  a  forfeit, 
the  opposing  team  receives  the 
victory,  but  there'  are  always 
extra  girls  (and  some  boys)  who 
are  more  than  willing  to  play 
just  for  the  fun  of  playing. 

See  you  at  the  next  onel 


Penn.;  Harris  from  Plainfield; 
Indiana,  and  Sizemore  from 
Steubenville,  Ohio.  Crouch  is 
a  transplanted  Hoosier,  cur- 
rently residing  with  his  new 
Mrs  not  far  from  the  college. 

Crouch  and  Aldridge  are 
seniors  and  have  played  three 
years  together.  Hall,  Green- 
well,  and  Menear  are  also 
seniors  this  yeaf,  John  and 
"The  Menace"  with  2  years 
under  their  belt,  and  Fred 
with  some  previous  varsity 
experience. 

Harris,  Sizemore  and  Van

with  the  Buffs,  joined  by  Jim 
Fox,  who  "played  Sophomore 
ball  with  Milligan,  and  is  this 
year  returning  from  a  season 
or  so  with  Uncle  Sam.  Arwood 
managed  the  team  last  year, 
and  has  shown  a  marked  im- 
provement so  far  this  year  in 
his  play.  Burleson  is  the  only 
freshman  member.  This  is  the 
first  year  for  quite  a  few  that 
there  has  been  only  member 
on  the  squad  from  the  ranks 
of  freshman. 

Six  men — Crouch,  Aldridge, 
Harris,  Smith,  Van  Buren  and 
Menear— can  be  fitted  into 
the  forward  and /or  center 
slots,  but  Coach  Walker  has 
intimated  that  Crouch  and 
Aldridge  will  see  most  of  the 
pivot  duty  this  season.  All 
twelve  Buffs  are  destined  to 
see  plenty  of  action  as  the 
season  progresses.       '

There  are  at  least  three 
changes  in  the  rules  for  this 
year,  two  of  which  you  might 
have  noticed,  the  other  not  so 
obvious.

KNOW  THE  BUFFS 

By  JERRY  WILLIS 
The  Milligan  College  Buffaloes  are  just  beginning  their 
1956-'57  basketball  season  with  one  of  the  toughest  schedules 
in  years.  This  issue  of  the  STAMPEDE  begins  a  series  of 
personality  sketches  of  each  of  the  twelve  Milligan  cagers, 
taken  alphabetically,  with  four  players  each  issue. 

DUARD  ALDRIDGE,  75-inch-tall  center,   has  been  co- 
captain  of  the  Milligan  Buffaloes  for  the  past 
two  yfears.  and  is  again  co-captain  this  year. 
He  has  received  three  letters  in  basketball  , 
at  MUligan.  At     Lamar,     Tennessee,     High  i 
School    he    played    basketball    four    years.  I 
Duard,  who  is  a  senior,  thinks  the  squad  is  [ 
stronger  this  year  than  it  has  been  in  the 
past,  but  that  this  year's  schedule  will  be  I 
rougher. 

GLENN  ARWOOD,  sophomore  from 
Blountville,  Tennessee,  plays  in  the  guard 
position  for  the  MiUigan  cagers.  Last  year  he  lettered  in 
track  and  baseball  for  Milligan.  In  high 
school  he  played  varsity  basketball  for  two 
years,  and  lettered  in  baseball  and  track.  Jim 
says  that  "the  Buffs  will  beat  East  Tennessee 
State  this  year." 

JIM  BURLESON,  six-foot  freshman  from 
Roan  Mountain.  Tennessee,  plays  guard  for 
the  Buffs,  At  Cloudland  High  School  in  Roan 
Mountain  he  played  basketball,  football,  and 
baseball.  Jim  thinks  that  Milhgan  will  have 
Arwood  a  good  team  this  year. 

JIM  "JAIME"  CROUCH,  six-ft.  three-inch  forward  for 
Milligan,  has  lettered  in  bas- 
ketball here  for  three  years. 
At     Angola.     Indiana,     High  ^ 
School  he  played  varsity  bas- 
■ketball  for  two  years-     Jim, 
who  is  a  senior,  thinks  that  | 
the  Buffs  will  have  an  aver- 
age team  this  year. 

Milligan  basketball  fans  I 
should  be  seeing  a  lot  of  these  | 
boys  this  year.  BurI««on  Crouch 

Be  sure  to  attend  all  the  games  you  can,  for  the  Buff 
schedule  promises  some  exciting'contests. 


throw  lines  into  the  out-of- 
bounds  area. 

{2}.  The  defensive  team  is 
now  allowed  both  inside  posi- 
tions in  a  free  throw  situa- 
tion. This  is  intended  to  de- 
crease the  rebounding  dis- 
advai>tage  of  the  smaller 
teams., 

(3)  Players  must  keep  their 
feet  on  the  floor  and  on  the 
outside  of  the  free  throw  lines, 
although  their  hands  and 
arms  can  be  extended  into 
this  area. 

Deadline  is  calling  me  and 
my  typewriter  is  burning  up, 
so  all  I  can  do  is  close  with  a 
bit  of  wisdom  stolen  from  the 
Stagecraft  Club  (although 
they  probably  .won't  recog-> 
nize  It) — if  you  can't  play,  you 
can  at  least  help  ring  down 
the  curtain  on  all  the  Buff 
games  this  season.  P.  B. 


CLUB  NEWS 

(Continued  From  Page  3) 

in  1948.  at  the  November 
meeting  this  year- 

"Calling  was  the  subject  for 
several  short  skits,  in  which 
club  members  demonstrated 
the  right  and  wrong  ways  to 
make  personal  calls  on  the 
sick,  strangers  in  town,  or  to 
in\'ite  someone  to  church.  Di- 
ane Bartchy  led  the  discus- 
sion which  followed,  in  an  at- 
tempt to  solw  problems  which 
arise  in  making  calls. 

This  program  was  the  first 
of  a  series  which  will  aim  to 
illustrate  opportunities  for 
Christian  service.  It,  along 
with  the  other  acti\ities  of 
the  club,  should  make  club 
members  realize  their  motto 
— "We  Seek  to  Sen.*e."

tion of  the  STAMPEDE. 

(3)  To  act  as  a  public  relations  instrument  for  Milligan  Col-

To  Promote  School  SpIHl,  Good  Sporltmanshlp  and  Fair 
Play,  With  Emphasis  on  Christian  Education, 

DINK  SAYS: 

The  Return  to  Milligan ... 

You  look  at  the  hands  of  the  clock  and  see 
them  pointins  to  that  hour  which  marks  the  time 
for  vour  departure  from  home.  A  week  of  the  new 
year  has  passed,  and  once  more  it  is  time  for  vou  to 
resume  vour  studies  at  Milligan. 

Thinking  back  over  the  events  of  the  past 
three  weeks  gives  vou  a  feeling  that  is  very  special. 
You  remember  the  day.  vou  arrived  home  for  the 
Christmas  vacation — the  ioyous  greeting  vou  je- 
ceived  from  vodr  family  .  ■  ■  the  aroma  of  'your 
mother's  "home-cooking  filling  every  room  in  the 
house  ...  the  familiar  high  school  pictures  hanging 
on  the  walls  in  vour  room  .  .  .  the  melodious  sound 
of  our  family  talking  to  one  another  in  the  kitchen 
.  .  .  and  the  overwhelming  thought  that  This  is 
home. 

You  remember  how  long  those  last  few  days 
at  school  seemed  to  be.  The  lectures  that  the  pro- 
fessors gave  seemed  to  be  two  hours  instead  of  one 
hour  .  .  .  the  chapel  periods  giving  you  a  sad  kind 
of  feeling  when  Christmas  carols  were  sung  . . .  and 
all  those  last  minute  things  vou  had  to  do  before 
vou  could  get  going  on  that  special  trip  to  your 
home — yes,  they  finally  passed  and  at  last  you  ar- 
rived home!  > 

And  now  that  you    have   been   home   three 
weeks,  you  could  stay    three   more   weeks.    The 
dreaded  thought    of    due    term    papers,    "pops, 
lengthly  assignments,    and   semester   tests   seeps 
slowly  into  your  realm  of  thinking. 

You  have  forgotten  a  lot  that  vour  professors 
had  been  drilling  into  that  cavity  of  gray  matter: 
you  really  meant  to  study  all  those  subjects  while 
you  were  on  vacation, iut  somehow  you  just  could 
not  work  them  into  your  holiday  schedule.  There 
was  just  too  much  to  do.  Why  all  the  parties  and 
happy  reunions  (and  on  and  on  you  could  go)  took 
all  your  time!  So  now  you  are  dreading  all  that 
studying  that  awaits  you  back  at  Milligan! 

But  you  stop  and  analyze  your  problem,  and 
doing  this  gives  you  a  much  better  outlook  on  life. 
You  have  so  much  for  which  to  return  that  almost 
instantly  you  wish  you  were  already  on  campus. 
The  second  semester  of  campusology  and  courses 
in  co-education  await  you. 

You  look  at  the  hands  of  the  clock  again  and 
realize  that  you  have  to  hurry  and  get  back  to  col- 
lege. But  it  is  not  lust  getting  back  to  college  that 
is  so  important  to  vou  now:  it  is  getting  back  to 
MiUigan  College. 

You  can  hardly  wait  to  get  back  to  that  cam- 
pus which  holds  the  greatest  warmth  to  college 
students — a  faculty  and  student  body  having  a 
family  spirit  and  a  Christlike  approach  toward 
their  future  lives. 

>  Perhaps  no  other  words  are  more  fitting  as 

these  for  the  way  you  feel  as  vou  return  to  school: 
"I  belong  to  Milligan,  and  Milligan  belongs  to  me." 


DESTINY 

As  you  enter  the  massive 
portico,  you  step  onto  a  soft 
billowing  carpet  of  sterile 
whiteness.  In  front  of  you 
there  is  a  glow  of  indescrib- 
able beauty.  The  sight  gives 
you  a  feeling  of  extra-sensory 
warmth  and  weU-bei(;tg  that 
you  know  will  never  pass. 
Directly  to  your  right  a  small 
door  is  ajar  and  appears  to  be 
awaiting  your  arrival. 

Inside,  you  see  a  tall,  thin 
gentleman  sitting  on  a  stool 
with  his  head  bowed  over  a 
giant  volume.  He  turns,  smiles 
kindly  and  absently  dipping 
a  quill  into  a  flask  of  golden 
fluid,  appears  to  study  the 
book  more  attentively. 

Exploring  the  room  from 
your  position,  you  find  your 
eyes  falling  on  a  second  book 
of  similar  proportions.  Curi- 
ous, you  glance  down  at  the 
fascinating  title— DESTINY. 

The  leaves  hold  '  nothing 
new  to  you.  It  seems  to  be  a 
complete,  detailed  history  of 
the  world.  But  then  you  find 
something  odd.  It  is  a  passage 
which  relates,  only  in  part, 
things  you  already  know. 

"Then  the  peoples  of  the 
earth  entered  an  tra  of  world- 
wide hostility  and  hunger  for 
power.  Poison  gas  was  em- 
ployed in  warfare.  People  be- 
came afraid.  They  thought  it 
would  wipe  out  civilization, 
so  they  stopped  using,'it.  The 
atomic  bombs  inspired  such 
fear.  All  were  destroyed.  It 
is  not  feasible,  now,  that  a  hy- 
drogen bomb  will  ever  be 
utilized.  The  people  of  earth 
are  too  far  advanced  to  make 
such  fools  of  themselves 

.  .  .  You  turn  the  page — the 
next — and  the  next.  You 
search  frantically  for  some  as- 
surance. YOU  despair  of  find' 
ing  hope  for  your  sons  .  . 
ALL  THE  PAGES  ARE- 
BLANK  .  .  . 

Now  you,  O  Christian,  take 
up  your  quill,  yes  I  mean  the 
quiil  of  your  life.  Now  write 
and  what  you  write  will  show 
upinlhe  files  of 4ime.  under 
the  heading- YOUR  LIFE.  It 
is  you  the  youth  of  today,  the 
soldiers  of  Jesus  Christ,  who 
are  to  mould;,  the  future  of 
America. 

I  can  think  of  no  more  ap- 
propriate way  of  leading 
America  Christ-ward  than  by 
manifesting  Christ  in  our 
lives,  and  giving  every  day 
of  the  year.  You  see,  we  have 
no  way  of  knowing  actually 
upon  which  day  Jesus  was 
bom,  it  could  be  on  any  day 
of  the  year.  With  this  in  view, 
we  ought  to  be  prepared  to 
celebrate  the  Ix)rd's  birthday 
on  any  day  of  the  year.  Do  I 
mean  that  we-  should  give 
gifts  every  day?  Yes,  I  mean 
exactly  that,  in  fact  as  Chris- 
tians we  are  obligated  to  give 
more  than  a  gift  of  a  mone- 
tary value  but  all  of  what  we 
really  possess.  That,  O 
CHRISTIAN.  IS  YOUR  LIFE.

Council,  Jim  Kohls. 


DOG'S  BEST  FRIEND 

The  teacher  asked  her  small 
pupils  to  tell  about  their  acta  of 
kindness  to  dumb  animals.  Many 
hands,  were  raised  as  the.  chil- 
dren told  their  hoart-stirrinfi 
little  stories. 

"And  what  did  you  do.  Tom- 
my?" the  teacher  asked  one  eager 
hand-raiser. 

"Well,"  replied  the  youngster 
proudly.  "I  kicked  a  boy  for 
kicking  his  dog."

IS  THERE  A  SANTA  CLAUS? 

Christmas   Without   Him? 

Look  back  over  the  years  and  try  to  remember  one  of 
the  most  disappointing,  heartbreaking  moments  that  you  have 
ever  experienced.  More  than  likely,  you  found  that  perhaps 
such  a  moment  of  dispair  came  when  you  were  told  that  there 
is  no  real  Santa  Claus. 

The  years  pass,  and  it  seems  that  when  you  took  Santa 
out  of  your  Christmas,  you  took  away  the  very  essence  of 
the  season  and  its  sentiment,  doesn't  it?  For  what  is  Christ- 
mas without  that  symbol  of  one  who  cares  for  you  and  gives 
to  you  simply  because  he  loves  you.  That  jolly  ole  man  with 
his  twinkling  eyes  puts  a  spirit  of  giving  unselfishly  and  a 
spirit  of  ^ayity  into  a  time  of  snow,  gifts,  shopping,  home- 
cooking,  family  reunions,  and  prayedful  meditations.  Yes, 
this  was  Christmas,  but  someone, tore  down  your  "castle-in- 
air,"  so  to  speak,  and  something  wonderful,  but  fleeting  has 
been  taken  from  you. 

Is  that  how  you  feel  now  that  you  are  a  college  student? 
If  Santa  means  so  much  to  Christmas,  then. put  him  back  into 
it  as  a  symbol  of  "giving  not  to  receive." 

Remember  this  as  you  lift  your  heart  in  prayer  and  give 
thanks  for  the  greatest  gift  of  all,  Jesus  Christ;  there  are 
twinkling  eyes  of  forgiveness  watching  over  you  this  Christ- 
mas and  every-  day  of  the  year.  You  ask  of  Christ;  you  re- 
ceive from  Him. 

You  can  say  that  there  is  no  Santa  Glaus.'  This  never  can 
be,  and  it  shall  never  be.  You  see,  Santa  Claus  is  God.— D  F.

"Temptation  Knocks  The  Door  Down" 

By  SCOTT  BARTCHY 

"Opportunity  knocks  but  once,"  so  we  hear,  and  is  very 
polite  in  knocking.  This  tidy  maxim  is  thrown  out  to  us  sup- 
posedly to  keep  us  on  our  toes.  This  adage  is  repeated  to 
goad  us  into  a  constant  state  of  being  prepared.  The  Boy 
Scouts  (a  group  to  which  most  girls  over  14  also  belong)  have 
a  motto  which  challenges  them  to  be  ever  readv,  quite  pos- 
siUy  even  for  the  so-called  once-appearing  Opportunity.  I 
say  so-called  because  that  seemingly  elusive  Opportunity  has 
found  places  in  other  sayings  also.  This  sentence  sermon 
caught  my  eye  a  few  days  ago:  "Ooportunity  usually  knocks 
but  once;  Temptation  knocks  the  door  down."  Well,  well,  it 
sounds  somewhat  like  the  same  story,  except  possibly  for  the 
"usually."  But  what  about  "Temptation,"  a  new  character,  at 
least  in  this  connection  anyway?  He  is  not  quite -as  mannerly 
as  his  fellow  subject  in.  this  compound  sentence,  is  he?  Hor- 
rors! In  this  phrase,  he  is  most  vociferous  (which  is  just 
plain  LOUD  ,underlined  three  times),  as  he  does  not  even 
await  your  answering  the  door  before  he  is  basking  in  the 
same  easy  chair  you  thought  you  threw  him  out  of  just  yes- 
terday. He  is  a  sly.  masquerading,  pseudo-gentleman  who 
would  have  much,  rather  slipped  in  the  back  door  than  to 
have  poundeH  down  the  front — but  he'wanted  you  to  think 
he  had  some  dignity  (we  must  keep  up  appearances,  you 
know).  But  don't  cry  Joe,  this, story  is  not  completely  sad, 
because  Temptation  did  not  come  in  alone  Who  is  with  him'' 
Yes.  you've  guessed  it—Opportunity,  But  he  was  only  sup- 
posed to  knock,  once  and  then  give  uo.  Yet  Temptation  left 
an  open  door  which  admitted  Opportunity  following  on  his 
very  heels.  Maybe  this  Oooortunitv  is  not  the  biggest  one 
you  will  ever  see.  But  I  will  guarantee  you  this  .  .  .  that  the 
Opportunity  is  just  as  big  as  the  Temptation.  For  whenever 
you  are  tempted,  you  have  the  liberty  to  do  right. 

We  all  agree  with  this  last  statement,  I  hope.  And  it 
shows  itself  to  be  true  here  at  school,  where  most  of  us  have 
had  our  first  experience  in  real  communitVi  ""ng:  and  in 
particular,  Christian  community  li\'ing.  We 'all  have  many 
petty  annoyances  and  maybe  some  not. so  sfnall  which  tempt 
us  to  react  In  an  irritated,  negative,  selfish  way.  'When  the 
oressure  is  on— term  paners  due— pops  expected— exams  in 
the  offing— a  sharp,  unkind  retort  (even  when  apparently 
lustifiable)  is  but  a  victory  for  Temptation.  Hastv.  thought- 
less, careless,  actions  and  reactions  rack  up  points  for  this 
ambitious  door-pounder.  We  are  amused  bv  a  little  girl's 
prayer:  "O  God,  make  the  bad  people  good,  and  the  good  peo- 
ple nice!  Yet.  we.  as  newr  men  and  women  in  Christ,  by  our 
careless  and  sometime  resentful  words  and  acts  make  such  a 
prayer  very  pointed. 

Jesus  Christ,  the  Son  of  God.  said  that  we  are  known  by 
our  fruits.  And  our  good  friend  in  Christ,  the  Apostle  Paul 
witnesses  that  the  fruit  of  the  Spirit  is  love,  jov.  peace  long- 
suffering,  kindness,  goodness,  faithfulness,  meekness  and 
self-control.  There  is  not  much  room  for  harbored  irritation, 
erudge-holding,  and  weak  character  in  this  definition  is 
there?  Truly.  Temptation  may  appear  to  visit  vou  more 
often  than  Opportunity.  Yet,  remember  that  everr  tempta- 
tion is  an  opportunity  to  return  hate  with  love,  sadness  with 
joy.  discord  with  peace,  revengefulness  with  longsuffering, 
rnalice  with  kindness,  wickedness  with  goodness,  lindependa- 
bility  with  faithfulness,  self-worship  wil,h  meekness,  and 
impetuosity  with  self-control. 

"Singing  Those  Mid-Term  Blues 

The  card  was  handed  to  you  .  .  .  vou  closed  vour  eyes 
wondering  what  was  written  on  that  little  white  card  .  .  .  you 
took  two  of  three  gulps  of  air  .  .  .  you  were  now  prepared  for 
what  was  written  there — or  were  you? 

Glanting  at  the  card,  you  saw"that  some  of  vour  grades 
were  really  below  par. 

So  NOW  you  are  one  of  those  students  (one  of  the  many) 
who  is  singing  the  "mid-term  blues." 

The  moral  to  this  little  article  is:  "It  is  all  right  to  sing 
the  mid-term  blues,  but  remember  the  semester  grades  are 
the  ones  which  really  count,  so  do  not  be  one  of  those  who 
has  to  sing  the  "semester  blues."

Tin  Pan  Alley  in  New  York  is 
the  street  famous  for  musical 
publishers.  It  was  the  noise  of 
many  pianos  being  played  at

name. 

The  expression  "Pin  Money"

scarce. 

All  eggs  have  virtually  the

PAST  SIXTY-FIVE 

It  was  in  a  populous,  if  not 
popular.  Eastern  prison  that  the 
new  young  warden  tried  out  his 
theory  of  rehabilitation.  Today 
he  had  proof  of  his  idea  working. 
He  arose  to  bid  farewell  to  the 
aged  culprit  who  stood  before 
him  shining  in  his  going-home 
suit. 

"You  know,  Tom,  you've  been 
here  five  times  now,  and  this  last 
stretch  has  been  ten  years  long." 
he  said.  "But.  it's  been  months 
now  since  you've  even  spoke  of 
crime.  What  are  your  plans?" 

Tom  squeaked  In  his  new 
shoes.  "Got  it  laid  out  to  a  T* 
warden,"  his  face  wrinkled  into 
a  pmile.  "My  sis  owns  n  little 
poultry  upstate,  and  I'm  as  wel- 
come there  as  rain.  So.  I  guess 
it's  mo  and  the  chickens  from 
here  on  out." 

"That's  great,  Tom/'  smiled  the 
warden.  "It  doas  my  heart  good 
to  see  a  once  hardened  criminal 
reforming  ..." 

Tom  snatched  his  hand  away 
and  blazed  at  the  warden.  "Re- 
forming!" he  roared.  "Who  said 
anything  about  reforming —  I'm 
retiring!"

SALTED  BY  BARBARA  WILLIAMS 

Brrr!  The  weather  outside  is  frightful  but  the  fire  is  so 
delightful.  Yes,  it's  almost  time  for  old  St.  Nick  to  come 
down  from  wherever  he  comes  down  from  bringing  Christ- 
mas gifts  for  one  and  all. 

Many  Milliganites  are  making  Christmas  lists  like  mad. 

I  saw  one  from  Hardin  as  it  went  into  Santa's  mailbox. 
Here's  what  the  Hardin  girls  would  like  to  find  in  their 
stockings  on  Christmas  morning: 

Mildred  Turner  would  like  a  piece  of  hair  to  fill  up  the 
gap  she  accidently  cut  out  while  trimming  her  hair.  Ellen 
Wicoff  would  like  to  have  a  toy  mouse  to  scare  her  roommate. 
(Ed.  note — Nov/  I  ask  you,  is  that  nice??)  Yvonne  Shaeffer 
would  like  to  have  a  new  Parker  fountain  pert  (Now  there's 
loyalty  for  you).  Janet  Gilbert  and  Betty  Bee  would  like  to 
have  a  stepladder  to  lower  the  food  that  they  bring  from 
home  out  the  window  to  the  fellers  waiting  below.  -And 
oJease.  dear  Santa,  leave  a  fella  in  each  stocking  at  Hardin 
^'or  the  girls. 

Sure  are  mighty  big  stockings  if  they  will  hold  steplad- 
ders  and  fellas. 

Believe  it  or  not,  there  was  even  a  small  list  from  the 
men  of  Pardee.  Most  of  the  men  wanted  a  solid  gold  Cadil- 
lac but  here  are  the  most  unusual  requests:       ^ 

Ray  Campbell  wants  to  get  out  of  the  Mariiies.  Jim  Fish- 
er would  like)  a  book  on  "How  To  Be  Intellectual." 

Jim  Stidham  and  Bob  Griffith  would  like  heat  in  Wolf 
Hall,  Flash  wants  a  sturdy  pair  of  shoes  to  wear  while  de- 
livering Johnson  City's  Christmas  mail.  Wes  Umberger  got 
his-ffift  a  bit  early — his  deferment. 

The  Christmas  season  has  sent  the  girls  high  on  Sutton 
hill  even  higher.  They're  very  busy  making  lists — and  long 
ones  too. 

Helen  Fife  wants  a  round  trip  ticket  to  Memphis  (or  is 
■*■  opp-^"flv??V  Nancv  Schuster  wants  a  book  on  "How  To 
■°hvme."  Gale  Sheoard  would  like  an  unabridged  dictionary. 
Shirlev  Stacy  wants  three  weeks  of  peace  and  quiet.  Rae 
p'isher  want"!  a  two-wav  walkie-talkie  from  Room  335  to 
Germanv.  M?r?e  Eubanks  wants  a  loud  fire  alarm  siren  to 
announce  the  beginning  and  the  end  of  noisy  hours.  Lonely 
Ruth  Eason  asked  only  for  a  red  wig  (or  at  least  some  red 
rinse).  She  has  always  been  fond  of  red  hair.  Myma  Sue  asks 
+hat  Santa  stop  that  ''coffin."  Guess  what-Glnny  Byrd  wants? 
A  candalabra  of  course!!!  And  the  rest  of  the  gals  want  a 
*^o]id  Gold  Cadillac!  fWhat  is  this?  A  fad!!!) 

Oh  ves.  I  almost  foreot.  In  the  mail  from  over  Betsv  way 
fame  this  urgent  plea.  Poor  Mary  Alice  Allen  would  deeply 
rinnrp'-iate  a  red  wheelbarrow  in  which  to  carry  all  those 
annual  oictures.    ^ 

As  for  me — well.  I  want  too  much  to  write  here  but  I 
do  want  everyone  from  M.  C.  to  have  a'  great  vacation  and 
omp  bprk  ready  to  tackle  another  semester.  May  the  true

Class  Of  '59  Chooses  Class  Project 

The  Class  of  '59  this  year  has  chosen  for  a  major  project 
the  lighting  qf  the  tennis  courts.  After  much  discussion  and 
balloting,  under  the  capable  leadership  of  the  class  officers, 
an  almost  unanimous  decision  was  reached.  With  quality  and 
usefulness  in  mind,  it  was  decided  that  the  lights  would  be 
used  by  most  everyone. 

Furthering  the  "Home  Economic"  trend,  the  Class  also 
decided  to  "restore"  the  laundry  room  in  the  basement  of 
Hardin  Hall.  The  room  will  be  cleaned  up,  and  the  windows 
supplied  with  curtains,  and  for  the  studious  minded,  there 
will  be  desks  provided  for  studying  purposes. 

The  supreme  ideals  of  any  class  consist,  to  some  extent, 
of  fund  raising  programs.  With  this  in  mind,  the  Class  of  '59 
has,  as  this  year's  project,  decided  to  put  on  stage  a  minstrel 
•^how.  The  show,  planned  for  a  March  date,  is  designed  in 
such  a  way  that  ever\'  member  of  the  class  has  an  oppor- 
tunity to  participate.  Tryouts  for  parts  have  been  held,  the 
scrint  chosen,  and  work  is  under  way  towards  a  big  time  for 
all.  The  production  will  be  headed  by  Suzie  Deever.  Director; 
Bruce  Shields,  Business  Manager:  Rose  Marie  Klein,  Pub- 
Mcitv:  Rav  Ross,  Stage  Manager.  These  committee  chairmen

Girls' VoUeybaU   IKNOW  THE  BUFFS 


IHA  READ,  Sportfl  Editor 


At  last,  the  Buffs  have  found  their  shooting  eyes.  They 
beat  Union  of  Kentucky,  Dec.  4th,  with  a  brilliant  shooting 
display, featuring  a  30-point  outburst  by  Del  Harris  and  a  21 
point  production  by  Dennis  Greenwell.  The  team  shot  449? 
as  a  unit,  winning  the  fairly  close  game,  83-79.  It  was  the 
■finest  offensive  display  shown  to  date  by  the  Buffs,  who 
have  been  hounded  by  inconsistency  and  seemingly  out  of 
favor  with  Lady  Luck. 

The  Buffaloes  opened  at  King  and  were  surprised  by  a 
■vastly  improved  King  team  which  won  76-69.  Harris  fired 
an  26  points  in  this  game  but  little  Bobby  Helton  of  King 
stole  the  show  with  fine  shooting  and  superlative  floor  play. 

Union  of  Kentucky  came  next,  and  the  Buffs  opened 
their  home  season  with  an  87-75  win  showing  rennarkable 
scoring  balance  and  an  improved  defense.  This  was  the 
Thanksgiving  Day  game,  and  the  many  alumni  on  hand  for 
Foiinder's  Day  were  impressed  by  Milligan's  fine  showing. 

Tennessee  Wesleyan  proved  Milligan's  downfall  in  the 
next  game  as  Gorman,  their  6-6  center  poured  in  28  points. 
Greenwell  led  the  Milligan  scoring  with  21  in  addition  to 
plaving  a  fine  floor  game.  The  Buffs  fell  87-72. 

'Then  Tusculum  came  to  Milligan  bringing  their  great 
€'5"  center.  Home,  and  Milligan  responded  with  their  finest 
defensive  game  in  two  years,  but  failed  as  Tusculum  hit  54 f^ 
of  their  shots  over  against  Milligan's  24'^r.  This  was  the^ame 
that  Charles  (Sonnv)  Smith  made  outstanding  not  only  bv 
holding  Home  to  22  points  but  dropping  in  17  himself  with 
as  fine  a  iob  of  offensive  rebounding  as  this  writer  has  ever 
seen-  Milligan  behind  all  the  way,  closed  the  gap  to  two 
points  with  about  10  minutes  left  but  fell  back  as  Tusculun- 
got  red  hot  winning  finally  by  a  71-58  margin. 

On  the  credit  side  this  year  has  been  an  improved  defense 

"better  rebounding  and  better  spirit.     However,  they  have 

.  not  worked  the  ball  in  for  good  shots  often  enough,  and 

screening  has  been  inadequate.  With  Harris  and  Greenwell 

two  of  the  finest  shooters  not  only  in  the  region,  but  in 

•the  nation,  getting  good  screening  they  will  be  hard  to  stor. 
Aldridge,  as' yet  is  not  hitting  as  well  as  of  old.  but  Duard  is 
a  slow  starter.  Sizemore,  driving  well  and  hawking  nicely 
is  an  asset,  and  experience  should  make  quite  a  ball  playe^ 
out  of  him.  Crouch  is  playing  his  usual  fine  game,  and  Smith 
has  lived  up  to  his  fine  notices-  Van  guren  ranks  most  im- 
proved and  has  impressed  with  his  fine  rebounding.  It  all 
points  UD  to  a  good  season,  even  though  they  face  a  formi- 
dable schedule '__

There  is  only  one  volley  ball 
team  that  can  still  boast  that 
they  J  are  undefeated-  That 
team  is  Team  Five. 

Right  now,  Team  Three  is 
saying,  "Ha!  Ha!  Hal"  to  Team 
Eight,  which  was  undefeated 
until  December  3  when  Team 
Three  won  the  contest. 

It  will  not  be  long  now  un- 
til the  tournament  starts.  Thi' 
should  be  very  interestihg 
since  the  players  have  to  play 
volleyball,  as  well  as,  "fight 
off"  the  wasps  that  are  trymg 
to  get  into  the  game. 

Come  see  it.  Okay?

"Ho,  ho,  ho.  and  what  do 
you  want  for  Christmas, 
young  fellow?"  These  were 
the  words  I  heard  as  I  rushed 
madly  about  the  streets  of 
Johnson  City.  There  was  San- 
ta himself  standing  on  the 
street  corner.  Since  '  I  was 
quite  tired,  I  decided  to  stop 
and  listen  to  some  of  Santa's 
interviews.  Here  are  some  of 
the  answers  to  the  old  ques- 
tion, "What  do  you  want  for 
Christmas?" 

Dick  McBride:  I'd  like  for 
my  folks  and  brother  to  come 
down. 

Nancy  Hayes:  I  donT  get 
anything  'cause  I've  been  bad. 

Jim  Burleson:  A  Hammack. 

Roxy  Henderson:  A  white 
Christmas  for  Florida. 

"Satch"   Smith:    I    want 
new   battery   for  my   car   so 
that  I  won't  have  to  push  it 
any  nfore. 

Barbara  Fisher;  A  new  bat- 
tery for  Rae's  hearing  aid.  I'm 
hoarse  from  shouting. 

John  Orr:  A  400-day  clock. 

Mary  Jo  Phillips:  I  want 
elevator  service  in  Sutton.' 

"Dee"  Heyser:  Some  sleep- 
ing pills  for  Rae  so  I  can  get 
some  sleep. 

Roger  Sizemore:  An  extra 
glass  of  milk — free, 

Argie  Lee  Payne:  Sound- 
proof walls  for  Sutton. 

Jim  Stidham:  A  solid  gold 
Cadillac. 

Nancy  Livesey:  Some  home- 
cooked  meals. 

Dick  Hawes:  The  key  to  the 
cafeteria. 

Charlene  Cameron:  A  lot  of 
good  rest. 

Bill  Anderson:  Peace  on 
earth. 

MERRY  CHRISTMAS. 
EVERYONE! 


He  didn't  want  to  attend  the 
reception,  but  Mrs.  Edisoh  talkccl 
him  into  going.  To  make  it  worse, 
as  far  as  the  inventor  was  con- 
cerned, it  was  a  dress  affair.  Un- 
comfortable in  his  white  tie  and 
lAils,  he  could  find  no  one  to 
whom  he  enjoyed-  talking,  and 
after  less  than  an  hour  informed 
his  wife  that  he  had  had  enough 
and  was  going  home. 

He  stopped  at  his  house  just 
long  enough  to  change  to  a  loose- 
fitting  suit,  then,  with  the  ^ress 
clothes  under  his  arm,  Edison 
headed   for  his  Iaborator>'. 

On  his  return  from  the  party 
Mrs.  Edison,  seeing  lights  there, 
dropped  in.  Her  husband  had 
completed  a  new  experiment: 
with  hammer  and  noils  he  had 
spread-eagled  his  dress  suit, into 
n  mural   for  one  wall. 

And  there  it  remained  through 
the  years,  o  constant  reminder 
that  Thomas  Edison  would  have 
no  part  of  any  shindig  which 
would  require  him  to  wear  for- 
mal otiirc. 


Sports  Personalities 

By  JERRY  WILLIS 

This  issue  of  the  STAMPEDE  continues  the  personali- 
ty sketches  of  four  more  members  of  the  Buffs  who  are  Jim 
Vox,  Dennis  Greenwell,  John  Hall,  and  Del  Harris. 

JIM  FOX,  five-foot  ten  guard,  hails  from  Greeneville, 
Tennessee.  He  is  majoring  in  Physical  Education  and  is  a 
Junior  this  year.  Jim  has  lettered  one  year  in  basketball 
and  also  lettered  two  years  each  in  baseball,  tennis,  and  track. 
He  says  about  the  team,  ''Every  team  we  play  will  know  they 
have  been  in  a  ball  game." 

DENNIS  GREENWELL,  top-notch  six-foot  Milligan 
guard,  is  from  Johnson  City.  He  is  a  senior,  and  is  majoring 
in  Physical  Education.  Last  year  Dennis  made  all-conference 
in  the  VSAC  and  also  in  the  SMAC.  Also  the  year  before, 
he  made  all-cnnference  in  the  SMAC.  He  has  lettered  two 
years  in  college  basketball  and  four  years  in  high  school 
basketball  at  Lamar  High  School.  He  lettered  one  year  in 
baseball  Un  college  and  two  years  in  football  in  high  schooL 
Dennis  thinks  Milligan  will  outpoint  the  Union  University 
team  tonight. 

,  JOHN  HALL,  six-foot  guard  for  Milligan,-  hails  from 
Elizabethton.  He  has  lettered  two  years  in  basketball,  two 
years  in  baseball,  and  a  year*in  track.  At  Elizabethton  High 
School'  he  played  football  a  year.  John,  who  is  a  senior,  is 
planning  to  become  a  coach.  His  opinion  about  the  results  of 
tonight's  game  with  Union  University  is  that  the  Buffs  will 
win. 

The  only  forward  among  these  four  Milligan  players  is 
six-foot  three  DEL  HARRIS  who  is  from  Plaii^ield,  Indiana. 
He  played  on  the  Buff  basketball  team  last  year  and  also 
played  baseball  for  Milligan  last  year.  Del  (or  Kelly  as  some 
call  him)  played  basketball  in  high  school  four  years  and  also 
four  years  of  baseball.  Del's  ambition  is  to  become  a  teacher 
of  religion,  psychology,  or  history  in  a  school  such  as  Mil- 
ligan. Del  says.  "My  reason  for  playing  ball  at  Milligan  is  to 
+ry  to  be  an  example  for  Christ  and  to  show  that  Christians 
can  be  found  in  other  places  besides  in  church  life."  Concern- 
ing toniPh^'s  game  here  with  Union  University,  whose  team 
'<!  fomino  from  Jackson,  Tennessee,  he  thinks  we  can  win  if 
we  play  our  best  ball. 

Come  out  and  root  for  the  Buffs!! 


Cheerleading  Squad 

Continued  From  Pago  One 

attivities,  especially  In  music, 
She  has  spent  two  previous 
years  in  the  choir  and  with 
the  Millettes-  In  previous 
years  she  has  been  connected 
with  dramatics.  This  year  she 
is  an  assistant  to  Dr.  Crouch 
at  Poplar  Ridge  Christian 
Church  and  is  secretary  to 
Dean  Qakes. 

When  asked  about  the 
school  spirit  from  the  cheer- 
leader's viewpoint,  Dianne 
said:  "I  think  it  has  definitely 
shown  improvement  since  the 
beginning  of  the  year,  and  as 
the  season  progresses  I  think 
the  spirit  will  get  better." 

The  sophomore  class  is  rep- 
resented by  Jan  Rinnert, 
from  Mount  Vernon.  Indiana. 
Jai"!  was  an  alternate  cheer- 
leader last  year.  Jan  is  major- 
ing in  education  and  minor- 
ing  in  religion.  She  enjoys  her 
activities  as  a  member  of  the 
Service  Seekers,  gospel  team; 
and  Christian  Ser\'ice  Club. 
She  has  also  been  a  candidate 
for  founder's  Day  Daughter 
and  last  year  she  was  elected 
Class  Bea'uty  of  the  Freshmar 
Class.  Jan  holds  the  office  of 
treasurer  in  the  Footlighters. 
She  finds  time  to  teach  a  Sun- 
day School  class  at  Poplar 
Ridge  Christian  Church. 

Jan's  comment  on  school 
spirit  was  short  and  to  the 
point:  "It  was  fine  ...  at  the. 
start."  / 

We  have  two  freshmen  on 
the  squad  this  year:  Wanda 
Stofferan  and  Janet  Gilbert. 
Wanda  comes  to  us  from 
Sheldon,  Iowa,  with  two  years 
of  experience  in  high  school 
cheerleading.  She  is  a  physi- 
cal education  major,  and  is.  of 
course,  a  staunch  member  of 
the  Physical  Education  Club 
She  also  is  in  the  freshman 
choir  and  a  member  of  the 


Suttonaires  trio.  Wanda 
[thinks  that  the  school  spirit 
is  in  need  of  improving.  Janet 
!  hails  from  Orrville,  Ohio. 
She,  too,  was  a  cheerleader  in 
high  school,  for  four  years 
Janet  is  active  in  intramural 
sports.  She  is  interested  in 
teaching  elementary  educa- 
tion. Janet  has  found  outlet 
for  her  interests  in  Footlight- 
ers, Buffalo  Ramblers,  Chris- 
tian Service  Club,  Service 
Seekers,  and  as  a  member  of 
the  annual  staff.  ' 

Janet  has  definite  ideas 
about  school  spirit  "I  think 
It  could  really  be  improved. 
It  seems  to  be  at  a  low  ebb 
when  we  are  losing,  and  that 
is  the  time  when  the  team 
needs  the  most  backing." 

We  have  three  alternates 
this  year:  Roger  Ramsey, 
Ruth  Hammock,  and  '  Linda 
Morgan.  Roger,  who  is  from 
Mountain  City.  Tennessee, 
was  a  cheerleader  in  high 
school  also.  He  is  a  member  of 
the  freshman  choir,  a  male 
quartet,  and  various  other 
clubs.  Roger  is  a  little  more 
pleased  with  the  school  spirit. 
He  thinks  it  is  better  than 
what  he  witnessed  in  high 
schooL  Ruth,  from  Radford, 
Virginia,  also  with  Ti  i  g  h 
school  cheerleading  as  a  back- 
ground, is  a  religion  major 
and  physical  education  minor. 
She  is  on  the  staff  of  the 
STAMPEDE,  a  member  of 
Service  Seekers,  Physical  Ed- 
ucation' Club,  and  Footlight- 
ers. As  each  game  comes  and 
goes.  Ruth  sees  improvement 
in  the  school  spirit  but  would 
like  to  see  even  more  improve- 
ment as  the  season  progresses. 
There  seems  to  be  a  general 
altitude  of  disappointment  in 
the  student  body  as  far  as 
supporting  the  team  at  games 
is  concerned.

No.  5 


"New  Semester 
Begins  With 
Few  Changes 

January  28  th 
Marks  Dale  Of 
Second  Semester 

A  dash  of  Miss  Hale's  riew 
Mercury  is  the  signal,  and 
they're  off  and  running!  A 
Tiodem  "Buffalo  Stampede" 
is  witnessed,  but  these  are  the 
two-legged  sort.  The  pup  tents 
Df  the  all-night  campers  are 
folded  and  stored  until  Sep- 
tember, and,  with  a  note  of 
excitement,  the  great  day  is 
begun. 

By  this  subtle  introduction, 
you  have  surely  guessed  that 
here  is  an  account  of  one  of 
the  "greats"  in  the  life  of  a 
college  student  This  is  Regis- 
tration Day,  in  all  of  its 
glory. 

Of  course,  the  second  se- 
mester is  incomparable  to  the 
first  semester,  so  far  as  con- 
fusion and  disorder  is  con- 
cerned. By  now,  the  ''green 
freshman"  is  merely  chart- 
reuse, and  he  realizes  that 
there  is  more  to  college  than 
standing  in  line.  However,  he 
begins  to  doubt  this  after  he 
joins  the  upperclassmen  in 
the  second  semester  ritual. 

From  all  comers,  from  each 
hanging  light,  one  may  d^ 
tect  the  grumbles  of  a  stu- 
dent struggling  through  his 
schedule,  for  it  is  hard  indeed 
to  find  space  to  ait  In  such 
chaos. 

Due  to  the  fact  that  the 
Btork  is  hovering  over  her 
classroom,  Mrs.  Glickfield  is 
retiring  from  her  position  in 
the  English  Department.  Miss 
Welshimer  is  going  to  conduct 
the  American  Literature 
classes,  and  Mr.  Simkins  Is 
going  to  conduct  the  English 
Literature  classei.  We  are  re- 
luctant to  part  with  Mrs. 
Glickfield,  for  she  has  been  a 
great  asset  to  our  English  De- 
partment, but  rejoice  in  the 
reason  for  her  departure'. 

In  the  Business  Adminis- 
tration Department,  Mr.  Price 
will  be  introducing  a  new 
course,  Advertising.  Another 
new  course  is  Psychology  of 
Personality,  to  be  taught  by 
Miss  Floyd. 

Milligan  is  anticipating  the 
arrival  of  some  fifteen  new 
students,  one  of  whom  is  Joe 
Templer  from  Uvalde,  Texas, 
who  has  been  visiting  here 
since  our  return  from  Christ- 
mas vacation.  Welcome,  pod- 
nah! 

The  following  teachers  will 
be  teaching  this  semester:

Opinions  Of  Cheerleading  Squad  Voiced  By  Milligan 
College   Studentbody;  "Good  Spirit-"   Emphasized 

General    Opinion    Given    That    Cooperating    Spirit    Among 
Cheerleaders    Themselves    Is    Needed  For  Successful  Sports  Season 


Professor   Has 
Many  Admirable 
Interests  In  Life 

A  devoted  Christian  and  an 
executive- of  two  athletic  con- 
ferences, Lone  Sisk  is  now  in 
his  ninth  active  year  as  a  pro- 
fessor of  chemistry  and  phy- 
sics at  Milligan  College. 

Professor  Sisk  is  a  native 
Tennessean;  and  came  to  Mil- 
ligan in  1948  after  a  period 
in  the  air  force.  He  has  re- 
ceived degrees  from  Carson- 
Newman,"  East  Tennessee 
^tate,  Peabody,  and  the  Uni-  , 
versity  of  Tennessee. 

He  has  been  interested  in 
athletic  activities  all  of  his 
life,  having  played  football 
and  baseball  in  high  school, 
and  football,  baseball  and 
basketball  in  college.  After, 
coaching  in  high  school  for* 
/ive  years,  he  became  the 
faculty  manager  of  athletics 
for  the  Johnson  City  High 
School. 

Not  long  after  coming  to 
Milligan,  Professor  Sisk  be- 
came the  chairman  of  the  fac- 
ulty committee  on  athletics, 
and  has  a  vital  interest  tzk 
sports  at  the  college. 

In  1949,  he  was  selected  as 
secretary-treasurer  of  the  Vol- 
unteer State  Athletic  Con- 
ference, in  which  position  he 
still  occupies  a  place  on  tbe 
executive  conimission  of  the 
conference. 

Just  recently,  in  1956,  Mr. 
Sis)c  became  president  of  the 
Smoky  Mountain  Athletle 
Conference. 

Surpassing  ev«n  his  inter- 
est in  athletics  is  his  devotio* 
to  the  work  of  the  church. 
He  has  served  two  terms  es 
chairman  of  the  board  in  the 
Central  Baptist  Church  t» 
Johnson  City  and  has  been  » 
Sunday  School  teacher  since 
1930. 

Another  interest  for  P*n>- 
fessor  Sisk  has  been  readings 
although  his  busy  life  now 
leaves  little  time  for  this  ac- 
tivity. 

As  sponsor  of  the  Milligan 
College  Pre-Med  Oub.  he  has 
been  host  to  many  of  their 
activities  at'  his  Pinecrest 
home.  '' 


In  the  last  issue  the  cheer- 
leaders were  given  an  oppor- 
tunity to  express  their  opin- 
ions concerning  the  spirit  and 
enthusiasm  shown  by  the 
student  body.  .  Now  we  give 
the  students  the  same  oppor- 
tunity to  tell  how  they  feel 
about  the  spirit  and  cheer- 
leading  form  of  our  cheer- 
leaders. 

In  answer  to  the  question: 
"What  do  you  think  about  tho 
spirit  and  choorloadlng  form 
shown  by  our  choorleadors?" 
some  members  of  the  student- 
body  gave  their  opinions. 

Barbara  WllUams  says,  "I 
know  from  what  I  have  heard 
.that  the  team  needs  the  sup- 


port of  the  school  at  games. 
It's  very  important  to  them. 
I  feel  that  in  many  ways  we 
have  not  shown  as  niuch 
school  spirit  as -we  should. 
The  cheerleaders  are  doing 
their  very  best,  but  they  can't 
do  the  job  by  themselves — 
they  need  the  studentbody." 

"I  think  the  cheerleaders 
have  added  to  the  school 
spirit  and  that  a  lot  of  peo- 
ple do  not  realize  how  fortun- 
ate wo  are  that  we  do  have 
[!ood  cheerleaders,"  Wwley 
Umberger  said  in  gi\nng  us 
his  opinion. 

Barbara  Scott  feels  that  the 
cheerleaders  are  really  work- 
ing  together  well   this  year. 


"Tink"  surelv  is  missed 
though!  She  thinks  that  the 
team  needs  enthusiastic,  and 
sincere  support  behind  them 
— it  makes  winning  (and  los- 
ing) easier.  She  also  thinks 
the  team  would  appreciate 
better  support  at  away  games, 
from  both  the  cheerleaders 
and  the  rest  of  us. 

"I  think  we  have  by  far  the 
best  cheerleaders  and  a  bet- 
ter school  spirit  than  any  of 
the  teams  we  have  played.  I 
think  that  the  backing  could 
be  a  little  better,  though," 
adds  Phil  Worrell 

JuU*  Gr««n  is  of  the  opinion 
that     the    cheerleaders     are

Dink  Says  . .  • 

The  Modem  Scholar  and  Semester  Exams 

It  was  two  o'clock  in  the  wee  hours  of  the 
morning.  A  Hght  cast  a  dreary  shadow  upon  the 
scene.  It  was  a  dismal  time,  and  the  air  seemed  to 
be  full  of  a  heavy,  smoldering  thickness  of  clouds 
or  dreariness.  The  clock  was  on  a  nearby  desk, 
slowly  ticking  away  the  seemingly  long  seconds. 

.  The  only  sounds  in  the  room  were  those  of  a  person 
sighing  deeply,  and  those  of  the  pagesof  a  book  be- 
ing turned  (sometimes  rapidly  but  more  often  slow- 
ly). There  was  the  sound  of  an  occasional  yawn 
and  twice  some  sort  of  mystic  babbling  was  heard. 
The  pepsi  machine  belched  up  many  bottles, 
full  of  refreshing  drink  for  the  modem  scholars  . .  . 
its  money-holder  was  overflowing  with  nickels, 
And  then  the  young  co-ed  put  a  quarter  into  the 
machine.  Perhaps  there  was  a  way  out  of  this  mis- 
ery! Mechanically  calcalating,  the  pepsi  machine 
blinked  his  "Nickels  Only"  sign.  If  only  he  had 
realized  the  outcome  of  this  act.  Immediately  he 
felt  his  precious  blue-colored  sides  being  beaten'and 
kicked  with  an  energy  of  one  who  was  filled  with 
anger.  Would  it  ever  cease!  Some  time  later,  he 
found  himself  being  filled  again  with  nickels  . 
more  nickels  .  .  .  and  even  more  nickels!  Why  did 
this  happen  twice  every  year  at  the  same  time? 

;  Was  there  no  rest  for  the  pepsi  machine? 

Meanwhile,  back  in  the  room  .  .  .  the  young 

'  scholar  sat  in  a  state  of  stupor,  stumbling  furiously 
over  statistics  compiled  in  notes  written  in  the  pre- 
vious weeks  of  classes.  Down  the  hall,  an  alarm 
clock  screamed  into  the  thoughts  of  the  scholar.  It 
■was  the  beginning  of  third  shift  for  one  of  the  fel- 
low classmates.  Arising  from  the  chair  of  thought, 
the  student  walks  to  the  bathroom  .  .  .  turns  the 
hot  water  on  full  blast .  .  .  and  prepares  to  indulge 
in  the  tenth  cup  of  Sanka'  Instant  Coffee. 

Meanwhile  at  the  professors'  homes,  scenes' of 
blissful  laziness  are  seen.  A  refrigerator  reveals 
"ham  and  eggs  ready  to  be  cooked  on  the  dawning 
of  the  next  day  (which  I  remind  you  is  already  here: 
time,  four  o'clock).  Yes,  the  professors  are  nestled 
all  snug  in  their  beds  while  visions  of  F's  are  danc- 
ing in  their  heads.  (What  heads?) 

Finally  the  magnificent  obsession  catches  the 
young  "thinker"  and  he  remembers  that  he  has  torn 
up  those  notes  of  six  of  the  class  meetings.  All 
night,  he  has  searched  for  them;  but  to  no  avail.  He 
finally,  drops  off  to  forced  sleep;  but  ten  minutes 
later,  it  is  time  to  "rise  and  shine." 

'■  The  big  day  is  here.  Semester  exams  will  be- 

gin in  a  matter  of  minutes.  .  .  .  Dress  .  .  .eat  .  .  . 
hurry ,.  .  .take  tests  .  .  .  and  be  sent  home  for  in- 
subordination— namely  not  being  able  to  think. 


"Som6l>ody   Up 
There  Likea  Me" 

By  SCOTT  BARTCHY 

We  all  recognize  that  the 
title  of  this  article  has  also 
been  the  title  of  a  recent  film 
and  its  accompanying  top 
tune.  What  we  may  not  recog- 
nize is  that  apart  from  the 
film  or  the  .song,  these  few- 
words  typify  the  hazy,  un- 
certain, indefinite  ideas  that 
folks  around  us  or  that  even 
we  ourselves  may  have.  And 
because  many  of  us  are  of 
the  "Somebody,  Up  There 
Likes  Me"  variety,  we  have 
never  come  really  face  to 
face  with  some  of  the  most 
important  things  we  say  we 
know  about  and  even  profess 
to  believe  in.  Spiritually  we 
may  be  compared  to  the  wom- 
■an  on  a  Milwaukee  trolly, 
who  in  discussing  washday 
with  her  companion,  said,  "I 
ain't  gonna  wash  Monday  un- 
til Tuesday — and  then  if 
something  else  has  gotta  be 
done  Tuesday  I  ain't  gonna 
wash  this  week  till  next 
week." 

Let's  take  it  apart.  "Some- 
body" —  Who  is  this?  Well, 
you  say,  "Don't  be  ridiculous. 
Everyone  knows  it  is  God!" 
Yet  do  we?  Have  we  really 
come  face  to  face  with  the 
realization  that  this  IS  GQD!? 
.  -  .  He  who  made  and  set  in 
motion  this  terrific  universe 
...  He  who  laid  down  the 
laws  of  chemistry  and  nuclear 
physics  ...  He  who  gave  the 
ability  to  talk  and  be  under- 
stood. Talk?  That's  right  .  .  . 
He  who  made  man  and  who 
is  still  making  men  ...  He 
who  is  able  to  make  those 
men  his  own  sons — and  you 
either  are  or  can  be  one  of 
those  men — yes,  one  of  those 
SONS. 

"Up  There"  —  Up  where? 
Could  it  be  that  God  is  re- 
siding in  some  particular 
place  in  the  upper  stratos- 
phere? Again  you  say,  "That's 
absurd!"  But  have  we  let  the 
eternalness,  the  power,  the 
"greater  than  the  things  of 
this  world"  aspect  of  God 
grow  stale  to  us?  Perhaps  it 
is  because  we  never  really 
opened  our  eyes  to  the  true 
and  living  God  apart  from  our 
own  time  and  space  set-up. 
This  same  God  has  promised 
to  share  this  wonderful  free- 
dom, this  closer  presence- 
yes,  this  "eternal  life" — with 
YOU.  That  is,  if  you  are  one 
of  His  SONS. 

"Likes  Me"  —  Likes  me? 
Likes  you?  Oh,  YES.  "God 
likes  me"  is  the  understate- 
ment of  the  ages!  And  you 
say,  "Sure,  I  know  what  you 
are  going  to  say:  "God  is 
Love."  You  are  exactly  right. 
But  do  you  really  know  that 
God  IS  Love.  Have  you  ever 
really  considered  that  God  is 
by  nature  Love,  and  that  He 
loves  YOU?— Not  this  "wishy 
washy"  sort  of  *'like"  busi- 
ness, but  "love"  so  great  that 
He  demonstrated  it  by  becom- 
ing one  of  us.  If  you've  open- 
ed your  heart  to  this  real 
Love,  you  will  find  that  your 
"love-energy,"  which  before 
was  turned  IN  on  yourself  or 
was  on  the  wrong  things,  has 
now  become  an  overflowing 
love  embracing  every  other 
man  and  woman  in  this  world 
— because  Christ  died  for 
them,  too! 

As  our  wonderful  friend  In 
Christ,  the  Apostle  John,  has 
written,  ''If  God  loved  U3  as 
much  as  that,  surely  we,  in 
our  turn,  should  love  each 
other!" 


THE  HUNGARIAN  CRISIS 


By  JIM  KOHLS 

In  1492  a  small  ship  landed  on  the  shores  of  a  new  un- 
known land.  It  was  followed  years  later  by  men  who  had  a. 
vision,  who  lived  for  a  brighter  tomorrow,  and  who  wanted 
to  have  a  change  in  life.  They  wanted  to  own  property.  They 
wanted  to  have  the  possibility  to  advance  in  life,  to  be  able 
to  walk  down  the  street,  and  to  shout  to  the  wind,  "I'm  a  free 
man."  They  wanted  to  belong  to  the  club  with  the  boys,  and 
to  go  down  to  the  comer  drugstore  to  have  a  soda.  They 
wanted  to  have  change  in  their  pockets  that  they  could  caU 
their  own  to  be  able  to  walk  around  the  block  with  a  young 
lady;  they  wanted  something  better  for  their  children  ...  a 
better  place  to  serve  God  in  any  way  that  they  wanted.  They 
came  and  they  made  their  homes,  and  a  powerful  nation 
across  the  sea  threatened  to  destroy  this  dream.  But  men 
rallied  to  the  cause  ,  .  .  fought  .  ,  .  suffered  .  .  .  and  died 

In  the  cold  winter  at  Valley  Forge,  hands  and  feet  were 
frozen,  limbs  maimed — never  to  be  used  again.  And  a  man's 
tracks  were  not  marked  by  newly  cut,  new  sewed  shoes,  but 
they  were  marked  by  round  blotches  made  by  men's  feet 
wrapped  in  cloth  and  rags;  and  spots  of  blood  from  frost- 
bitten feet  marked  the  trail  of  the  soldiers. 

We  won  this  war  mainly  because  of  a  radiant  vision— a 
dream  in  a  man's  heart — a  cry  of  freedom — pursuit  of  happi- 
ness— a  driving  divine  will  to  be  free  as  God  had  created 
man.  Yes,  it  all  spelled  victory.  And,  you  know,  we  might  not 
have  won  this  war  had  not  a  strong  nation  like  France  help- 
ed us. 

Again  years  later  the  country  was  torn  in  two  because 
man  was  in  bondage.  The  desire  for  all  men  to  be  free  and 
equal,  as  God  created  them,  again  rose  within  man's  heart, 
and  man  was  made  free.  Years  later  through  two  World 
Wars,  the  United  States'  flag  led  the  way  for  freedam.  By 
the  grace  of  God,  with  this  vision  of  freedom,  the  United 
States  has  stayed  free. 

Today  .  .  .  tonight  .  .  .  this  very  moment,  hundreds  of 
people  are  fleeing — they  cry  in  the  night — not  knowing 
whether  their  next  step  will  be  their  last. 

Come  with  me  a  minute.  Look!  I  see  a  field;  and  a  wom- 
an carrying  child  runs  half-bent,  rimning  through  the  high 
weeds,  gasping  for  breath.  She  is  running  toward  a  barbed- 
wire  fence — the  one  that  divides  freedom  from  bondage. 
.She  nears  and  her  hand  grasps  out  to  reach  the  barbed-wire; 
and  as  she  does,  just  inches  away  her  fingers  firmly  grasp 
after  the  wire.  In  seconds  she  will  be  under;  she  will  be  free. 
Then  suddenly  the  crack  of  a  rifle  pierces  the  dark  night  air. 
A  dull  thud;  and  a  body  fall^  to  the  ground  limp,  fingers 
grasping  the  barbed-wire. 

A  little  boy.  a  little  girl,  a  girl  like  yourseli,  a  boy  like 
yourself,  fathers,  mothers,  men,  women  all  running  .  .  . 
crawling  .  .  .  walking  frantically  with  this  dream — "Men 
must  be  free!  Men  MUST  be  free."  Yes,  they  are  people  like 
you  and  like  me.  They  have  two  hands  and  two  feet,  two 
eyes  and  two  ears.  They  are  the  same,  only  they  are  on  the 
other  side  of  the  world. 

Now  take  your  average  day.  You  get  up  out  of  a  warm 
bed,  putting  on  your  shoes  and  clothes.  You  eat  breakfast, 
and  go  to  class.  You  have  some  change  in  your  pockets.  You 
have  clean  clothes  and  comfortable  shoes.  You  are  cheerful 
and  you  laugh.  You  go  through  a  busy  day  at  school  and 
perhaps  attend  a  club  meeting  after  class.  There  are  lots  of 
friends.  You  take  a  walk  around  the  campus,  or  maybe  you 
drive  home.  You  know  at  the  end  of  a  busy  day  when  you 
get  tired,  there  is  a  room  for  you  to  go  where  you  can  relax 
and  friends  to  whom  you  can  take  your  cares  and  troubles. 
And  if  anything  happens  to  you  here,  if  you  lose^even.'thing 
you  own,  and  you  lose  all  your  friends;  you  are  alwa'ys  as- 
sured that  there  is  one  place  to  go— that  is  your  home.  And 
if  no  one  will  befriend  you,  and  you  are  despised  and  hated — 
you  will  bask  in  the  warmth  of  the  love  which  you  will  r&. 
ceive  at  home. 

Now  let  us  go  to  the  other  side  of  the  world.  When  you 
got  up  out  of  bed  this  morning,  you  had  your  breakfast  Now 
look  at  the  other  side  of  the  world— if  they  had  a  bed  to  get 
up  out  of — much  less  breakfast — where  was  therft  to  go?  lb 
whom  could  they  go? 

Now  look  down  at  your  feet  You  have  shoes  on  your 
feet  .  .  .  you  can  put  your  hand  in  your  pocket  and  feel  some 
change  .  .  .  when  you  go  to  lunch,  you  have  a  warm  meal 
awaiting  you.  Today  when  you  get  your  tray,  think  how 
lucky  you  are  to  have  a  bite  to  eat — not  to  be  wonting  from 
where  the  next  bite  will  come.  How  dare  we  be  fuss>'!  To- 
night on  your  way  home,  think  about  those  people  over'there. 
There  is  no  place  for  them  to  go.  Now  stop,  put  yourself  in 
their  place.  Put  yourself  in  their  shoes — that  is,  if' they  have 
shoes.  If  you  had  no  place  to  go  and  in  your  heart  burned 
that  desire  for  freedom  and  to  worship  God  as  you  chose,  I 
know  you  would  pray  \o  God.  I  belie\^e  that  some  Christian 
people  on  the  other  side  of  the  world  would  come  to  your 
aid  I  think  you  would  pray  to  God  and  help  would  be  gi\-en 
you. 

Let  us  baek  this  newly  bom  nation  in  their  search  for 
freedom.  Let  us  back  them  In  our  prayers,  In  our  hopes,  and 
in  our  support.

'<',  ■ 


By  NANCY  KAT  SCHtTSTEB-  Tr-tliman 
C&ntoa,  Ohio     .  >  '  . 


The  winds  and  the  raini;beat 
mercilessly  againsf  the  battered 
remains  of  the  once-fabulous 
mansion.  Traces  of  wealth  and 
one-time  liixuriousness  were  evi- 
dent throughout  this  hull  that 
once  put  every  home  in  the  couH' 
tryside  to  shame.  The  ancient 
New  English  style  furniture  had 
seated  many  guests  of  great 
■wealth  and  prestige,  and  the 
threadbare  carpets  were  of  a  fine 
weave. 

This  mansion,  sitting  atop  a 
rocky  hill,  was  like  Julie  her- 
self. Once  beautiful,  once  mag- 
nificent, they  both  now  shared 
the  infirmities  of  old-age  and  a 
shade  of  lost  beauty,  hidden 
among  dust,  remorse,  cobwebs 
and  hatred. 

The  winds  howled  furiously, 
and  the  trees  cried  protestingly; 
the  ocean  waves  became  more 
harsh  as  the  night  drew  on.  and 
Julie  and  her  pent-up  emotions 
completed  the  picture.  She  had 
taken  her  nightly  vigil,  standing 
Upon  the  highest  rock,  grasping 
e  twisted  tree  with  all  of  the 
strength  old  age  can  possess. 
Her  tired,  faded  blue  eyes  scan- 
ned the  waters,  and  she  seemed 
to  be  searching,  waiting,  expect- 
ing. 

Turning  slowly,  Julie  crept 
wearily  up  the  path  and  entered 
her  home,  welcoming  the  warm- 
th of  the  soaring  fire  in  the 
study. 

She  tossed  her  rain-soaked 
shawl  over  a  chjur.  and  began 
to  brew  tea  and  to  set  a  tiny  table 
for  two.  Two?  Ah,  surely  Julie 
hod  not  forgotten  that  she  was 
alone.  How  could  fifty  years  of 
solitude  be  brushed  away?  Yes. 
this  bitter  old  woman  was  well 
aware,  even  too  well  aware  of  her 
aloneness.  However,  the  table 
must  be  set  for  two,  jost  as  everj" 
table  was  set  for  two,  for  Julie 
felt  she  dare  not  risk  excluding 
David  from  her  meals,  -from  her 
mind,    nor  from  her  lile. 

She  sat  down  to  b4r  tea  and 
memories,-  and  held  the  old  pho- 
tograph of  a  very  handsome,  very 
young  maji  close  to  her  bosom, 

A  deep  stgh  came  from  the 
depths  of  her  soul,  and  she  set- 
tled back  comfortably  in  her 
rocker,  arid  "became  liill^  to 
llecp  by  the  ^ong  the  winds  car- 
ried to  her  ears. 

Dreams,  all  -  but  -  forgotten 
forms,  imagined  music,  all  of 
these  things  rushed  about  in-  her 
tired  old  mind,  and  her  thoughts 
raced  back  to  youth,  love,  and 
David.  David — the  most  '  won- 
derful thing  in  her  life;  the  only 
thing  that  had  ever  and  would 
ever  matter 

She  was  young  again^  and  her 
blue  eyes  danced  in  her  pretty 
little  head,  making  a  most  de- 
lightful contrast  to  the  jet  black 
hair  that  enshrouded  lovely 
white  shoulders.  No  one  dared 
deny  that  Julie  Roberts  was  the 
most  beautiful  girl  that  had  ever 
charmed  the  hearts  of  the  men 
of  her  town.  She  was  rich,  a  bit 
vain,  a  bit  spoiled,  a  bit  self- 
centered,  and  more  than  a  bit 
lovely.  She  had  been  wooed  and 
pursued  until  the  Roberts  man- 
•lon  Itself  began  to  chuckle  at 
the  foolish  younp  men  who  laid 
their  heart*  at  the  dainty  feet  of 
this  beauty  who  ao  enjoyed  danc- 
ing on  them. 

They  were  all  the  same  to 
Julie,  and  after  twenty  years,  ih# 
was  tired  of  this  foolish  game  of 
eat  and  mouse.  She  was  bored. 

Then  t)nvid  entered  her  life, 
and  suddenly  the  sun  began  to 
■htne  brighter,  and  the  birds  be- 
gan to  sing  cweeter.  and  for  the 


first,  time,   Julte^  kaiew  A€  w^ 

helplessl/in  love.  ™- 

David  was  different  in  every 
way.  He  was  from  a  poor  family, 
and  had  put  himself  through 
school,  studying  the  law  in  his 
every  idle  moment.  David  was 
handsome,  rugged,  determined, 
and  everything  about  him  sug- 
gested a  challenge. 

He  was  the  only  man  who  did 
not  fall  in  love  with  Julie,  but 
rather  lifted  them  both  up  to 
love.  He  was  the  first  person  to 
ever  deny  her  anything,  and  she 
loved  everything  about  him.  She 
loved  the  dignified  way  he  car- 
ried his  tall,  dashing  self.  She 
loved  the  twinkle  in  his  brown 
eyes,  and  the  dimples  in  his  rosy 
cheeks. 

Yes.  David  was  a  battle  for 
Julie,  for  he  would  not  be  won 
easily. 

Their  times  together  were  few 
and  brief  at  first,  a  walk  here  and 
there,  or  an  evening  by  the  fire- 
place, but  the  reward  was  well 
worth  the  struggle.  David  was 
wonderful! 

Her  family  was  quite  disturbed, 
for  David  was  no  fit  mate  for 
Julie.  He  was  not  rich,  he  had 
no  polish,  he  was  not  a  proper 
gentleman,  and  Julie  was  not  to 
marry  him. 


word  from  Davjd.    "''■^     \        ;'" 

The  suinmer  days  Bxirrendord 
their  beauty  to  a  brisk  autumn, 
which  in  turn,  welcomed  the  cold 
winter.  Spring  leaped  upon  her 
like  a  cloud,  and  soon  a  year  had 
elapsed.  A  year  of  torture,  for 
there  was  never  a  bit  of  evidence 
as  to  the  disappearance  of  David. 
At  first,  Julie  had  tried  to  con- 
sole herself.  Perhaps  he  was  sick, 
perhaps  he  had  been  called  away, 
perhaps  .  .  .  perhaps  ...  he  had 
left  her. 

Julie  found  herself  bitter  and 
depressed,  and  in  no  mood  to 
chatter  gaily  and  hide  her  grief 
Like  the  shelt*red,  pampered 
child  she  was,  she  demanded  to 
be  left  alone,  for  sh«  wanted  no 
part  of  a  family,  of  friends,  of 
love.  She  wanted  nothing  but 
'Tempest",  her  beloved  man- 
sion. 

At  first  solitude  was  difficult 
There  was  always  someone  to 
annoy  her  with  a  pitying  glance, 
but  her  bitterness  soon  became 
widespread,  and  there  was  noth- 
ing and  no  one  to  bother  with. 

As  the  years  slowly  passed, 
changes  came  about,  as  they  al- 
ways do.  Her  parents  and  many 
of  her  friends  had  passed  on  to 
the  better  world,  but  Julie  had 
not  been  affected-  She  had  kept 


How  clever  of  Julie  to  shed  aiher  home  the  same,  and  she  had 
tear  or  two  and  cry  loudly,  con-  stayed    the    same.    She    had    for- 


fessing  her  deep  and  everlasting 
love  for  her  charming  young 
man. 

'  Their  wedding  day  dawned 
bright  and  clear,  and  the  garden, 
the  scene  of  the  ceremony,  was 
even  more  colorful  and  fabulous 
than  ever.  Everyone  was  anxious 
and  nervoas,  and  the  home  It- 
self seemed  gay  and  excited. 
Julie  had  never  been  so  happy, 
and  she  had  never  looked  more 
beautiful 

The  guetti  came  in  by  the 
hundreds,  and  It  ceemed  there 
would  loon  be  no  room  (or  the 
bride  and  pwmi  themselves.  The 
groom,  yes,  where  was  David? 
The  wedding  was  to  begin  at 
four  o'clock  and  the  clock  had 
chimed  three  long  ago.  The  min- 
utes ticked  endlessly  by.  and 
four  o'clock  came  and  passed, 
and  the  groom  was  nowhere  in 
sight  Poor,  precious  Julie  be- 
came worried  to  the  point  of  In- 
sanity,   and    still   there   wai   no 


gotten  people:  she  had  forgotten 
God.  Her  Bible  was  left  untouch- 
ed on  the  mantle.  Her  thoughts 
were  centered  around  one  desire. 
David  must  be  watched  for  and 
awaited,  for  he  would  surely  re^ 
turn  for  her.  He  had  told  her  that 
he  loved  her  as  he  had  never 
loved  before,  with  the  ultimacy 
of  his  capacity,  and  she  knew  he 
would  come  back.  He  must  come 
back  I 

A  loud  crash  awakened  Julie 
from  her  memory  trance,  and 
she  was  quick  to  investigate  the 
sound.  That  is,  as  quick  as  her 
aged  limbs  would  carry  her.  Lan- 
tern in  hand,  she  opened  the  mas- 
sive front  door  to  be  greeted  by 
the  cold  storm  and  darkness,  not 
David.  What  had  the  sound  been? 
A  twig  from  one  of  the  gnarled 
trees  had  seen  fit  to  tap  her  win- 
dow. 

So  went  the  days  of  late  win- 
ter  and  early  spring.  Soon  sum- 
mer greeted    Julie    once    more. 


Julie  was  particularly  nnd  of 
summer,  if  one  might  iay  she 
was  fond  of  anything.  At  least, 
summertime  was  pleasant,  and 
the  setting  sun  provided  a  glow- 
ing light  by  which  to  search  fo^ 
David  each  evening. 

Julie  was  becoming  feeble,  and 
she  knew  her  health  was  nothing 
of  which  to  boast,  but  she  felt 
she  could  not  die.  She  could 
never  give  up  the  dream  of 
David's  return.  She  must  be  in- 
finite so  she  could  fondle  his  pic- 
ture, and  the  white  violets  he  had 
given  her.  She  had  carefully 
pressed  them,  and  at  times 
thought  them  to  be  her  most 
prized  possession.  She  felt  she 
must  live  forever  for  their  re- 
union. 

The  highlight  of  her  life  was 
the  celebration  of  her  wedding 
day.  This  was  to  her  what  Christ- 
mas is  to  a  child.  Each  year,  she 
donned  her  dusty  white  gown 
and  veil  and  sat  by  the  fireplace. 
Then  and  only  then  was  she  near 
to  happiness,  for  it  was  then  that 
she  was  closest  to  her  love  of 
yesteryear. 

It  was  a  cool  day  for  June, 
and  the,  wind  danced  gaily  around 
"Tempest"  and  her  surroundings. 
Julie  sat,  quietly  rocking  and 
celebrating  her  fiftieth  anniver- 
sary, when  she  heard  her  door 
blow  open  and  footsteps  pene- 
trate the  darkness.  She  was  en- 
raged to  think  anyone  would 
burst  into  her  home  so  late  in 
the  evening,  especially  on  such 
a  special  night  She  rose  and 
definitely  "thriist  forth  her  chin, 
looking  much  like  a  banty  roost- 
er prepared  for  war,  until  she 
saw  her  visitor.  Surely  her  old 
eyes  deceived  her,  but  no.  It  was 
David,  for  his  old  familiar  voice 
was  calling  softly  to  her.  For  the 
first  time  in  half  a  century,  Julie 
ran.'  She  ran  to  the  arms  of  the 
man  she-loved.  David  held  her  at 
arms,  length   and    spoke   p&ssion- 


.angel  to  everyone. 

The  dijrJUlie  Roberta  died, 
she  was  found  with  her  Bible  in 
one  hand  and  a  bouquet  of  white 
violets  in  the  other.  She  had  had 
no  visitors,  and  it  was  the  middle 
of  December.  PYom  whence  came 
the  violets  she  loved  so  much? 
Had  David  returned  to  carry  her 
home?  Or,  perhaps  David  had 
never  come.  Perhaps  his  visit  was 
the  fiction  Of  an  old  woman's 
mind. 

Here  is  where  my  pen  ends, 
and  your  imagination  begins.

THE  ROVING  REPORTER 

By  PAT  ROBERTS 
Do  you  know  what  a  fou- 
mart is?  Have  you  ever  seen 
one?  Are  you  fond  qf  them? 
If  you  had  a  foumart,  what 
would  you  do  with  it?  This 
question  was  asked  several 
distinguished  Milliganites  — 
none  of  whom  had  any  ink- 


ling of  what  the  word  meant. 
But,  like  all'  good  Milligan 
students,  each  one  bluffed  his 
way  through  an  answer. 

Donna  Crouch:  I'd  give  it 
to  Jim  for  a  graduation  gift 
if  it  weren't  too  expensive. 

Ira  Read:  I'd  eat  it 

Charlie  Bledsoe:  I'd  prob- 
ably wear  it. 

Mary  Alice  Allen:  I'd  use  It 
in  the  too-late-to-classify  sec- 
tion of  the  annual. 

"Judge"  Carmack:  I'd  take 
it  to  bed  with  me. 

Barbara  Scott:  I'd  wear  It 
around  my  neck. 

Bill  Eunson:  I'd  put  It  away 
and  save  it  for  a  rainy  day. 

John  Nichols:  I'd  play  with 
it. 

Lois  Ferrell:  I  would  feed 
it  to  Dennis. 

Don  Miller:  I'd  lock  it  up  In 
a  cage  so  that  it  wouldn't  hurt 
anyone. 


Barbara  Main:  I'd  probably 
hire  a  good  manager  for  it. 

Dave  McCord:  I'd  bathe  it 
every  day,  brush  its  fur,  and 
sleep  with  it. 

Wanda  Clarke:  I'd  throw  it 
at  "Blondie"  and  my  room- 
mate. 

Clarence  Ross:  I'd  preach 
about  it  next  Sunday. 

John  Vickers:  I'd  give  it  to 
Judy. 

Argie  Lee  Payne:  I  would 
psychoanalize  it  for  Miss 
Floyd. 

Ray  Campbell:  I'd  go  to  bed 
and  take  an  aspirin  to  try  to 
get  over  it. 

Bilhe  Blankenship:  If  it  is 
anything  like  American  his- 
tory, I'd  get  as  far  away  from 
it  as  I  could. 

Flash"  Ellis:  I'd  use  It  for 
an  excuse  to  beat  the  draft. 
Julia  Woolard:  I  would  eat 
it. 

Phil  Wofrell:  I'd  hide  It  be- 
fore Mr.  Stahl  charged  me  for 
it. 

Everyone  would  be  wise  to 
take  Billie's  ad\ice  and  get 
as  far  away  as  possible  from 
a  foumart.  A  foumart  Is  n 
European  polecat. 


Sophomore  Class 
Begins  Work  On 
Minstrel  Show 

Although  a  defmite  dale 
has  not  yet  been  set  for 
"Minstrel  Jubilee,"  the  sopho 
more  class  has  been  working 
on  the  show.  It  will  be  given 
sometime  during  March,  but 
committee  heads  are  busy  al- 
ready. The  script  committee: 
headed  by  Jan  Rinnert  and 
George  Carmack  have  select- 
ed a  two-hoiir-long  show  full 
of  songs,  action,  and  jokes  (?) 
Ginny  Byrd  and  her  music 
committee  have  chosen  a  cast 
from  the  members  of  this 
talented  class.  The  selection 
of  the  cast  i^  still  incomplete,

SPORTSECTION 


IRA  READ,  Sports  EdJlor 


SPORTS  DESK  - 

Coach  Duard  Walker's  Buffaloes  are  now  5  and  7.  having 
won,  3  and.  lost  4  since  our  last  edition.  However,  almost  all 
of  these  games  have  been  marked  by  steady  improvement 
and  in  a  couple  of  losing  causes  they  have  played  unusually 
fine  ball.  Opening  with  Tennessee  Wesleyan,  they  started 
playing  outstanding  ball,  beating  Wesleyan  75-68  behind  the 
great  first  half  scoring  of  Dennis  Greenwell  and  the  second 
half  scoring  of  Duard  Aldridge.  Greenwell  and  Aldridge  had 
22  and  20,  respectively  with  Aldridge  helping  out  in  holding 
Pat  Gorman,  Wesleyan's  6'  8"  center  to  a  paltry  U  points. 
After  losing  a  ten  point  decision  to  Tusculum  they  traveled 
to  Carson-Newman,  losing  a  thriller  81-80,  in  what  has  been 
described  as  their  finest  game  of  the  year.  The  team  shot 
50  percent  as  a  unit,  but  Carson-Newman  hit  55  percent  in 
winning  the  narrow  decision.  Smith  and  Harris  led  the  Mil- 
hgan  attack.  The  next  night,  back  on  their  home  floor,  they 
annihilated  Union  University  99-84  as  the  team  shot  over  50 
percent  using  reserves  a  considerable  portion  of  the  game. 
The  feature  of  the  game  was  a  forty-foot  set  shot  by  John 
Hall.  Smith  once  again  stood  out  with  24  points.  Following 
the  Christmas  vacation  the  Buffs  headed  for  Nashville,  meet- 
ing Belmont  their  first  night  and.  playing  well  after  their 
long  layoff,  upset  them  to  the  tune  of  86-73. 

■  Harris  playing  his  finest  game  up  to  that  time,  scored  35 
points,  hitting  "an  amazing  13  out  of  18  shots  driving  for  lay- 
ups  when  the  defense  pressed  and  popping  jump  shota  when 
the  defense  sagged.  The  next  evening  Milligan  played  the 
vaunted  Middle  Tennessee  Raiders  and  for  one  half  played 
them  off  their  feet,  outshooting.  outrebounding,  and  out- 
hustling  them.  In  the  second  half  the  accumulation  of  the 
long  road  trip  plus  the  Raiders'  incredible  height  proved  too 
much  for  them 

Jerry  Hurst,  a  6-8  center  and  transfer  from  the  Univer- 
sity of  Tennessee,  scored  26  points,  and  with  the  other  two 
6-8  boys  in  the  forward  wall  controlled  the  backboards.  Har- 
ris and  Greenwell  scored  22  and  20,  hitting  between  them  17 
out  of  24  attempts.  Playing  their  worst  game  of  the  season 
as  a  unit,  they  were  beaten  by  L.M.U.  92-78.  only  the  fact 
that  Harris  was  blazing  hot  kept  the  game  that  close.  Har- 
ris scored  29  points  in  the  second  half,  to  close  the  half-time 
margin  somewhat,  and  ended  up  with  38  points,  a  career  high 
for  him. 

The  team  haa  progressed  well  as  a  wh'ole,  and  tt  must  be 
remembered  they  are  playing  the  toughest  achedulo  they 
have  attempted  in  some  time.  The  remainder  of  the  schedule 
is  difficiilt.  but  Milligan  on  a  given  night  is  capable  of  beat- 
ing anyone  on  their  schedule  and  this  includes  East  Tennes- 
see State,  who  have  proved  recently  they  are  not  invincible 
Undoubtedly,  well  coached,  superbly  conditioned,  experi- 
enced and  smart,  they  lack  the  depth  necessary  to  make 
them  a  great  team.  A  very  good  team,  but  not  a  great  team 
they  can  be  beaten  if  they  slack  off  in  any  game. 

It  is  often  easy  to  overlook  the  players  who  do  not  score 
in  high  figures  but  whose  play  is  just  as  important  to  a  good 
basketball  team.  Three  boys  on  the  Milligan  team  who  have 
all  been  starters  at  one  time  or  another  deserve  an  accolade, 
these  being  Jim  Crouch,  Roger  Sizemore  and  Jim  Fox.  All 
of  these  boys  have  made  heavy  contributions  toward  the  suc- 
cess of  the  team. 

Milligan's  basketball  team  has  two  pressing  problems 
One  is  immediately  evident,  the  other  will  become  so  in  a 
year  or  two.  The  first  is  a  woeful  lack  of  height.  Game  after 
game.  Smith,  Aldridge,  Harris,  and  Crouch  have  fought  off 
superior  height  by  simply  outjumping  and  outhustUng  their 
opponents  until  eventually  they  were  worn  down  and  re- 
duced to  watching  tall  boys  play  volleyball  under  the  boards 
until  one  of  them  scored.  A  classic  example  of  this  was  the 
aforementioned  Middle  Tennessee  game.  The  other  problem 
is  not  yet  with  us,  but  the  fact  that  this  year's  freshman  class 
is  the  poorest  in.  years  regarding  basketball,  and  this  lack  of 
ability  will  reflect  itself  in  a  year  or  two. 

Why  don't  we  have  tall  boys  and  a  surplus  of  good  fresh- 
man prospects.  Simply  because  they  are  all  being  siohoned 
off  by  other  colleges  with  basketball  scholarships.  There  is 
only  one  way  to  counteract  this  trend  and  that  is  by  a  limit- 
ed scholarship  policy,, say  two  local  and  one  non-local  scholar- 
ship. It  is  well  and  good  to  say  we  are  doing  all  right  now 
without  basketball  scholarships,  which  is  true.  However,  if 
this  trend  continues  the  school  will  no  longer  be  able  to  floor 
a  ball  club  of  which  the  college  may  be  proud. 

All  advertising  costs  money,  scholarships  would  too,  but 
it  will  eventually  become  necessary  if  we  are  to  maintain  a 
respectable  athletic  orograrfl.  There  are  undoubtedly  several 
alumni  who  would  he  happy  to  contribute  to  the  program, 
but  If  it  comes,  it  should  definitely  be  administered  by  the 
■  school  and  kent  on  a  restricted  basis.  The  object  is  not  to 
build  a  basketbeU  dvnasty.  but  to  maintain  teams  of  which 
students,  faculty,  and  alumni  can  be  proud.

SUTTON  HALL  CHRISTMAS  PARTY 


Opinions    Of 
Cheerleaders 

Continued  From  Page  One 

want  to  lead  the  students  to 
cheer  the  team  on  to  victory. 
She  stated  that  ever  since  the 
Varsity  Voices  has  been  or- 
ganized the  spirit  has  been 
much  better  than  before,  but 
yet  she  thinks  that  we  have 
receded  since  last  year  in  our 
enthusiasm. 

"I  think  that  the  spirit  and 
the  cheerleading  form  of  our 
cheerleaders  on  the  average 
is  pretty  good.  '  Although 
when  the  team  needs  them 
most,  they  are  sometimes 
weak.  If  the  studentbody 
were  more  spirited,  the  team 
would  be  greatly  encouraged," 
says  Chuck  Milla, 

Nancy  Llvesay  stated,  "Our 
cheerleaders  are  really  doing 
a  fine  job  this  year.  They 
show  the  true  spirit  and  we 
should  help  them  by  show- 
ing more  school  spirit.  We 
need  to  really  yell  and  help 
those  boys  win  the  game." 

"The  spirit  of  the  cheer- 
leaders  is  unquestionably 
good."  says  Ira  Reed.  'If  there 
is  any  lack  of  school  spirit, 
which  I  doubt,  it  can  hardly 
be  attributed  to  the  cheer- 
leaders." 

'  Joyce  Critofl  answers,  "Yes, 
T  feel  the  school  and  cheer- 
leaders have  the  right  spirit. 
The  team  appreciates  our 
lacking,  but  I  think  the 
cheerleaders  should  travel 
vith  the  te$m  more." 

A  member  of  the  team,  Del 
Harria.  gives  his  opinion.  "I 
hink  the  cheerleaders  do  a 
'ine  job,  and  the  team  ap- 
preciates their  support.  I  es- 
oecially  enjoyed  the  group  of 
fellas  that  played  in  the  pep 
land  at  some  of  the  games  in 
ast  year.  I  would  like  to  see 
hem  do  it  again." 

Donna  Ward  tells  us.  '^I 
^hink  the  cheerleaders  do 
^ine  job  in  boosting  the  school 
spirit  at  the  games.  I  think 
hey  are  exceptionally  good^ 
this  year  in  coordination." 

'Tootor"  Robinson  says, 
"We  have  a  terrific  cheer- 
'eading  squad.  Of  course, 
there's  always  room  for  im 
orovement.  As  the  sa^•ing 
ooes — 'Let's  make  the  best, 
Setter.'  It  is  up  to  the  cheer- 
leaders to  get  the  cheerlead- 
'ng  form — and  we  the  stu- 
dentbody can  create,  the  spirit 
Let's  back  the  cheerleaders; 
how  about  it?" . 
"Tonl"  Larcom  says,  "I  think 
♦he  cheerleaders  are  tops. 
They  have  some  very  cute 
cheers,  and  they  cheer  togeth- 
er verv  well,  although  I  rfo 
think  they  could  stand  a  little 
more  pen  in  their  cheers."

"I  think  the  cheerleaders  of 
this  season  are  very  good. 
They  are  showing  some  new- 
ideas  in  cheering  form  that 
are  very  eye-catching." 

"Rooming  with  one  of  the 
cheerleaders  I  know  perhaps 
better  than  others  that  more

made  if  all  the  cheerleaders 
would  attend  each  practice

the  cheers  lack  polish  be- 
cause they  are  trite.  The  form 
could  be  a  bit  more  graceful 
A  suggestion  would  be  that 
we  do  more  acrobatics  and 
fewer  of  the  unique  finishes."

Between  the  innocence  of

a  coed. 

Coeds  come  equipped  with 
assorted  pedal  pushers  and 
hairdos,  but  they  all  uphold 
the  same  creed:  to  enjoy 
every  minute  of  every  hour 
of  every  college  day. 

Teachers  fluster  them, 
mothers  protect  them,  littlt 
sisters  idolize  them,  and  boyi 
worship  them. 

They  can  be  found  in  all 
places;  lounging  on,  draping 
around,  leaning  against,  bust- 
ling to,  and  traipsing  from.

She  has  the  eating  habits  of  a 
canary  and  displays  the  en- 
ergy of  a  mountain  trout.  To 
her  admirers  she  has  the  mind 
of  EinETteln.  the  looks  of  Kixa, 
the  F>er5onaltty  of  Grace,  and 
the  figure  of  Marilyn.  To  Ihe 
other  coeds,  she  has  the  form 
of  a  pop  bottle,  the  personal* 
tty  of  a  wet  mackereL  and 
the  mind  of  a  beetle. 

The  coed  loves  weekends, 
formal  dances,  cashmere 
sweaters,  red  convertibles  and 
men. 

The  coed  is  here  to  stay 
with  all  her  curiosities.  She 
may  remain  a  bobby  soxer  or

"Difife"  Says . . . 

The  Senior's  Visons 

Dr.  Walker  calls  your  name,  and  the  air  seems  to  be  fill- 
ed with  a  terrible  quietness.  Does  anyone  notice  that  your 
Imees  are  just  a  little  shaky,  and  you  can't  seem  to  swallow 
just  right? 

You  take  the  first  step  forward  to  receive  your  diploma. 
And  with  that  step  you  can  all  at  once  see  four  year  at  Milli- 
gan fleetingly  passing  before  your  eyes.  With  each  step  for- 
ward you  see  an  event  which  calls  forth  to  Jrou  something 
which  belongs  to  you  and  Milligan. 

Freshman  week  with  all  its  newness  (a  touch  of  home- 
sickness those  first  few  daj-s)  ...  the  freshman  picnic 
concerts  .  .  .  parties  .  .  .  vacations  .  .  .  examination  weeks 
prayer  meetings  .  .  .  bull  sessions  .  .  .  hay  rides  .  .  .  steak 
fries  .  .  -faculty  dinner  .  .  ,  required  chapels  .  .  .  May  Day 
.  .  .  ball  games  .  .  .  yes,  they  all  become  vivid  pictures  as  yoU 
take  each  step.  And  with  these  visions  comes  the  thought 
that  you  will  no  longer  be  at  Milligan  to  take  part  in  such 
activities  again.  The  professors  you  have  come  to  love  and 
admire  sitting  before  students  who  have  become'  an  integral 
part  of  your  life — both  will  become  part  of  your  past. 

■  A  tear  comes  to  your  eye,  but  somehow  you  keep  it  from 
escaping  down  your  cheek  to  reveal  how  you  feeL  For  you 
know  that  these  professors  and  students  are  a  part  of  you 
that  time  and  a  change  in  environment  could  NEVER  take 
from  you.  You  are  part  of  a  big  family — the  Milligan  family— 
'  and  the  miles  between  you  and  the  college  in  the  future  will 
not  really. change  the  fullness  of  life  which  the  college  has 
given  you. 

Proudly  you  walk  forward  and  with  a  twinkle  in  your 
eye  and  a  song  of  happiness  in  your  heart,  you  take  the 
diploma — your  passport  to  the  future. 

Students  Voice  Their  Opinions  Concerning 
Improvements  At  Milligan  College 

If  you  want  to  kno\v  what  is  wrong  with  Milligan,  just 
ask  the  students.  The  students,  faculty  and  Student  Council 
might  well  heed  the  suggestions  made  by  some  of  the  stu- 
dents when  they  wre  asked,  "How  would  you  improve  Mil- 
ligan?" 

Suzie  Deved:  Milligan  is  losing  the  family  spirit  it  is  so 
proud  of.  I  think  the  new  dormitory  is  largely  responsible. 
The  Student  Council  parties  are  helping  to  combat  cliques, 
and  I  think  it  would  help  to  place  the  tables  in  the  dining 
hall  together.  Also,  officers  in  classes,  clubs,  etc.,  should  be 
rotated  each  year. 

Barbara  McPeak:  Milligan  needs  to  become  an  accredit- 
ed school,  and  I  wish  the  t>*pewriters  and  other  office  ma- 
chines were  available  for  student  use. 

"I\'y":  New  maps,  for  Miss  Jones. 

Linda  Elliott:  Milligan  needs  a  school  niu'se. 

Eric  Crites:  Get  rid  of  Thelma  Dodson. 

Altwain  Larcom:  Milhgan  needs  more  money.  Every- 
"body  should  mind  his  own  business  concerning  other's  per- 
sonal matters. 

John  Heaton:  Make  provision  for  HOT  water  in  Pardee. 

Julie  Green:  Have  a  co-operative  student-organized  book 
store  with  standard  prices  for  used  books.  More  emphasis 
should  be  placed  on  liberal  arts,  rather  than  ministerial 
study.  Have  caterers  submit  estimates  to  supply  cheap  and 
good  food,  then  renew  the  contract  each  year. 

"Dink":  Build  a  music  building,  put  lockers  in  the  Ad. 
building. 

Donald  Crytzer:  I  don't  know. 

Ralph  Conrad:  Clean  up  the  administration  building. 

Bob  Davis:  A  paved  driveway. 

Rocky  Myers:  We  have  the  faculty  and  the  studnts.  Now 
"we  need  facilities,  especially  a  "Q.  E.  D."  stamp  for  Prof. 
Hyder. 

Wanda  Clarke:  A  platform  lift  to  Sutton,  and  better  up- 
keep of  the  campus.  * 

David  Shiek:  A' "quiet  please"  sign  for  Miss  La%vson.

1957  May  Day 
Presentation 

The  May  Day  Program  of 
1957  was  ushered  in  by  bal- 
loons, clowns,  and  a-  host  of 
people-filled  animals.  The  Big 
Top  reigned  supreme  on  this 
sunny  day. 

The  queen,  Bertie  Watson, 
entered  the  lawn  of  Hardin  in 
a  billowy  white  gown  that  re- 
minded one  pf  a  wedding 
dress.  The  contrast  of  her  jet 
black  hair  and  the  red  rose 
bouquet  she  carried,  against 
this  white  dress  was  breath- 
taking. Her  hand  rested  upon 
the  arm  of  Duard  Aldridge, 
perhaps  ''Mr.  Epitome"  of  the 
Senior 'Class. 

On  either  side  of  the  imag- 
inary path  down  which  they 
walked  to  their  thrones  stood 
the  courts. 

Scott  Bartchy  directed  £ 
band  "composed  of  Milligan 
Students  that  put  the  finish- 
ing "note"  to  the  program. 
,  After  the  circus  people  had 
perforrned  for  the  court,  the 
traditional  dance  around  the 
May  Pole  took  place. 

The  various  pastel  shades 
of  the  girls  dresses  looked 
very  much  like  a  garden,  in 
ftill  bloom. 

Behind  the  scenes,  decked 
out  in  jeans  and  dirty  hands 
from  hard  work  were  the  un- 
sung heros  of  the  affair,  the 
committee  chairriien. 

Indeed,  with  the  combined 
efforts  of  all  these  people, 
Milligan  witnessed  a  most  un- 
usual and  delightful  program. 


What  Is  Spring? 

Spring  is  the  birth  of  all 
that  is  beautiful;  the  meta 
morphosis  of  the  world. 

Spring  is  the  green  grass 
that  has  slumbered  a  season 
under  its  fluffy  white  com- 
fort, suddenly  aroused  by  the 
glistening  sun- 
Spring  is  tiny,  purple  vio- 
lets, smiling  at  the  sparkling 
raindrops  that  gently  kiss 
their  dainty  petals. 

Spring  is  the  rushing  water 
of  a  rhythmic  stream,  dancing 
a  ballet  upon  the  rocks,  freed 
at  last  of  the  ice  that  has  held 
her  in  bondage  for  so  long. 

Spring  is  the  big  oak  tree 
with  the  bright  green  buds, 
its  branches  stretched  wide  to 
welcome  home  the  robin  who 
said  a  sad  farewell  in  the  fall 

Spring  is  that  exotic  frag- 
rance that  cannot  be  bottled 
and  sold  in  even  the  most  ex- 
clusive of  stores. 

Spring  is  the  season  in 
which  God  has  chosen  to 
waken  the  world  and  its 
treasures.

ONLY  THE  VALIANT 

I  have  often  wondered  what  the  thoughts  of  a  doomed 
man  were.  Most  of  us  have  seen  the  movie,  "Marty,"  This  is. 
my  creation  in  speculation  .as  to  what  its  sequel  v/ould  be. 

As  we  look  in  on  Marty,  we  ,see  him  pacing  back  and 
forth  in  a  little  room  which  resembles  a  cell  more  than  any- 
thing. All  Marty  could  think  of  was  how  did  he  get  himself 
into  a  rhess  like  this.  He  thought,  "I'm  not  a  bad  guy,  why 
did  this  have  to  happen  to  me?" 

The  day  of  reckoning  had  come,  and  Marty  knew  it.  His. 
handkerchief  was  sopping  wet  from  the  perspiration  from 
his  brow. 

He  had  no  idea  six  months  ago  things  would  end  up  like 
this.  Marty  reminisced  back  to  the  night  of  his  downfall.  He 
and  his  steady,  Mary,  were  coming  home  from  a  movie.  They 
had  taken  the  subway.  They  were  alone  in  the  car  except 
for  the  conductor,  who  was  engrossed  in  a  discarded  nev/s- 
paper.  Marty  wanted  to  say  something  to  Mary,  but  the  en- 
chanting combination  of  exotic  perfume  and  a  dim  light  on 
her  pink  throat  seemed  to  hold  him  in  a  spelL  Was  some- 
thing wrong  with  his  mind? 

Driven  by  some  uncontrollable  force,  Marty  reached 
behind  Mary  and  placed  his  hand  on  her  throat.  Suddenly 
the  lights  of  the  car  went  out  as  the  subway  car  plunged 
into  the  murky  blackness  of  a  tunnel.  It  happened.  Marty 
had  done  it.  The  whole  thing  was  over  in  less  than  a  minute. 

Now  as  Marty  sat  staring  at  the  barren  walls,  he  thought 
of  the  fun  he  had  had  in  the  past  two  years.  He  remembered 
Ihe  dances,  fishing  trips,  ball  games,  golf  games,  tennis 
matches,  late  parties,  and  all  the  different  outings.  These 
were  all  gone  now. 

It  was  still  for  Marty  to  realize  how  he  had  gotten  him- 
self into  a  predicament  like  this.  He  went  to  church  on  Sun- 
day; every  Sunday  when  fishing  season  was  closed.  Swearing 
and  drinking  to  him  were  ^nilgar.  He  sat,  a  slumping  figure 
of  dispair  in  the  chair,  muttering  to  himself,  "It's  too  real 
to  be  true.  How  could  it  happen  to  me?" 

Marty  moved  slowly  to  the  window,  all  outside  was  still 
and  a  grey  gloominess  was  overcast. 

"Very  appropriate,"  Marty  thought,  "the  calm  before  the 
storm."  He  looked  at  his  watch,  "almost  time  for  the  slaugh- 
ter," he  remarked  with  a  smile  of  cynicism  appearing  on  his 
daggered  face.  Outside,  below  in  the  courtyard,  his  old 
friends  were  arriving. 

'Fine  friends  they  are.  Just  when  I  need  them,  they're 
^own  there  as  if  nothing  is  about  to  happen,"  he  remarked, 
and  mopped  his  brow  again. 

"Look  at  them  down  there.  Well,  if  it's  a  show  they  want, 
I'll  give  it  to  them.  So  they  want  to  see  Marty  walk  the  Last 
Mile;  well  o.k!  I  won't  be  a  coward." 

These  last  words  seemed  to  strengthen  Marty,  for  he 
straightened  up' and  regained  a  composure  he  had  not  had 
for  days. 

A  sudden  rapping  on  the  door  made  Marty  start.  His 
throat  was  like  cotton,  his  lips  were  foreign  to  his  commands 
^'C-c-c-come  in,"  he  stammered. 

The  door  swung  open,  revealing  the  pastor  and  two  other 
men.  The  pastor  was  carrying  his  black.  Bible  as  usual. 

"Is-is  it  t-t-time.  Pastor?"  Martv  forced  out. 

"It's  time,  Marty"  returned  the  sj-mpathetic  and  soothine 
voice  of  the  Pastor. 

Turning,  the  Pastor  started  toward  the  stairs.  Marty 
mopped  his  face  and  followed  in  step.  He  braced  his  should- 
ers and  held  his  head  high. 

"I'm  too  young!"  blurted  Marty,  "I  haven't  lived  yet  " 

"What's  that  my  son?"  requested  the  Pastor  in  tones  of 
'Digger  O'Dell.' 

Nothing,  sir,"  replied  Marty.  "I  was  just  thinking  out 
loud!    He  smiled  nervously  and  said  "Let's  get  it  over  with'" 

Just  as  he  was  half  way  down  the  stairs,  strains  of  Men- 
delssohn emanated  up  the  aisle.  It  was  too  late.  Why  did  he 
propose  to  her,  anyway?  Dum,  dum,  da  dum,  dum,  dum,  dum  ■ 
Marty  could  not  panic  now.  He  braced  himself,  and  with  lees

MILLIGAN  STEW-Salled  by  Barbara  Williams 

While  I'm  congratulating  ever>one  I  must  not  forget  our 
good  friend,  Prof.  Gervin,  who  became  Dr  Gen,-in  a  few 
weeks  ago.  We're  proud  of  you  sir!  And  of  course,  congrat- 
ulations to  all  the  newly  elected  officers  for  next  year. 

I  would  love  to  read  the  report  handed  to  Dean  Oakea 
concerning  the  North  American  Christian  Convention  bv  Sue 
Crumley.  I  hear  she  really  profited  by  her  trip  to  Pittsburgh. 

Now  comes  the  time  that  I  have  pondered  over  a  Ion? 
time.  It  s  tune  to  say  "Good-bye':.to  the  STAMPEDE  to  books 
classes,  term  papers.  Dean  Oakes,  and  all  mv  friends  who 
have  graciously  taken  their  valuable  time  to  read  this  chatter

Publication  Of 
M.  C.  Catalogue 

A  new  catalogue  with  116 
pages  and  a  new  format  with 
complete  revision  of  all  the

The  cover  is  midnight  blue 
with  reverse  plate  on  the 
front  cover  with  solid  back- 
ground and  white  lettering. 
It  is  arranged  to  serve  a  two-

The  new  features  are  very 
commendable  and  we  express 
our  thanks  to  Dr.  Walker, 
Dean  Oakes  and  Mr.  Stahl

than  two  months  were  taken 
to  redesign  the  new  catalogue. 

There  are  several  new  sec- 
tions to  be  brought  to  atten- 
tion. One  of  these  is  the  ar- 
ticle on  "Milligan  Communi- 
ty" which  every  student 
would  profit  from  reading.  It 
serves  to  give  an  explanation 
to  one  of  the  most  distinctive 
features  to  Milligan  Ufe — the 
people  who  make  up  the  Mil- 
ligan family. 

Students  applying  for  ad- 
mission will  note  that  stricter 
recommendations  have  been

and  introduction  to  fields  of 
study  as  well  as  individual

Terms  of  Admission,  Items  of 
cost,  Special  Fees  and  Re- 
funds, and  similar  items  are

Millignn's   Duard   Walker   Family 


INTKODUCING  tAe  DUABD  WALKER  FAMILY:  Seated.  L. 
to  R..  Tresa  and  'Cmdy";  Standing;  Coach  Walker,  "Buff  and 
Carolyn. 

Winning  no  real  recognition,  being  modest  and  humble  in 
all  accomplishments,  being  a  friend  to  all  Milligan  students, 
giving  a  ray  of  gayness  when  life  seems  dark,  smiling  when 
frowns  seem  to  take  the  upper  hand,  having  a  word  of  praise 
when  it  is  needed,  giving  a  life  of  service  and  high  goals— 
.this  is  a  brief  summary  of  the  life  of  Milligan's  Duard  Walker. 

i'  In  the  fall  of  1951  Duard  Walker  and  Carolyn,  his  wife, 
■came  to  be  part  of  Milligan's  family.  Since  that  time,  their 
dynamic  personalities  have  been  great  assets  to  the  college. 
As  coach  of  basketball  and  baseball,  Duard  has  exemplified 
a  true  Christian  example.  With  Coach  Walker  in  command, 
-the  "Buffs"  do  not  always  win  in  points,  but  they  take  first 
place  honors  in  presentation  of  good  sportsmanship.  The 
patience  and  qualities  of  leadership  which  our  coach  displays 
in  his  actions  gives  an  air  of  dignity  and  respect  to  the  whole 
■college  Always  seeking  to  secure  sportsmanship,  he  has  cap- 
tivated the  hearts  of  all  of  us  by  realizing  everybody  is  do- 
ing his  best— players  and  referees  alike. 

Coach  Walker  is  in  charge  of  Pardee  Hall  and  is  the 
■sponsor  of  the  class  of  '58.  His  religious  activities  show  forth 
in  service,  too,  as  he  is  on  the  board  of  Hopwood  Memorial 
Church  By  his  side,  Carolyn  is  also  active  in  church  work. 
As  an  organist  and  willing  worker,  she  is  frequently  called 
upon  to  render  her  talents  in  the  church.  And  it  is  not  an  in- 
frequent happening  to  find  Coach  Walker  taking  his  place 
with  the  choir  members  at  Hopwood. 

The  Walker  children— "Cindy,"  age  six;  Teresa,  age  four 
•and  little  five-month  old  Duard  "Bull"  Belmont,  Jr.  do  not 
take  a  back  seat  either.  Cindy  and  Teresa  serve  the  school  s 
little  cheerleaders  and  help  keep  the  players  from  becoming 
disappointed  when  the  victory  is  not  always  theirs.  Duard 
Belmont's  name  alone,  "Buff,"  will  make  the  team  title,  the 
"Buffs"  become  more  well-known  throughout  his  life.  Just 
as  a  little  tot,  he  is  already  contributing  to  Milligan  In  this 
indirect  way.  Cindy  and  Teresa  also  contribute  to  the  college 
by  always  helping  by  participating  in  May  Day  and  num- 
erous other  school  presentations. 

And  at  the  ball  games,  there  they  will  be-i-smiling  and 
radiating  a  warmth  of  goodness  to  all  with  whom  they  as- 
sociate—the Duard  Walker  Family.  Their  life  is  full  and  the 
path  they  are  leaving  tor  Milligan  is  paved  with  good  and 
service  to  the  Milligan  family. 

They  give"to  Milligan  a  philosophy  of  lite  something  like 
the  paragraph  by  Chalmers  which  follows: 

"Live  for  something.  Do  good  and  leave  behind  you  a 
monument  of  virtue  that  the  storm  of  time  can  never  destroy. 
Write  your  name  in  kindness,  love,  and  mercy  on  the  hearts 
of  thousands  you  come  in  contact  with  year  by  year;  you 
will  never  be  forgotten.  No,  your  name,  your  deeds  will  be 
as  legible  on  the  hearts  you  leave  behind  as  the  stars  on  the 
brow  of  the  evening.  Good  deeds  will  shine  as  the  stars  of 
heaven." 


Ro\ing  Reporter 

By  Pat  Roborts 

Since  there  are  evidences 
of  spring  everywhere  one 
turns  these  days,  the  roving 
reporter  question  kept  pace 
with  the  season.  Here  are  the 
replies  that  Milligan  College 
students  gave  when  asked. 
What  do  you  Uke  best  about 
spring?" 

Mickey  Lemmon:  "All  the 
plants  come  out — such  as  poi- 
son ivy,  so  I  like  to  walk  in 
the  woods  (on  a  botany  field 
trip). 

Laura  Osborne:  As  far  as 
publication  is  concerned,  I  like 
to  see  the  green  grass  and  the 
trees — and  the  couples  stroll- 
ing about  the  campus. 

Jack  Johnson:  The  grass 
and  the  tr&es. 

Nyle  Bowman:  I  like  the 
spring  because  I  can  wear 
summer  clothes.  I  just  don't 
like  scratchy  winter  clothes. 
I  guess  it's  because  I'm  from 
Florida. 

Ron  Spotts:  ETHLYNI 

June  Harrmjn:  That's  when 
we  get  out  of  school. 

Stanley  Johnson:  Romance 
is  in  the  air.  It  makes  one  feel 
better  all  over.

ful flowers.  They  seem  to 
freshen  everything  after  win- 
ter.

too  hot  to  sleep.

flowers,  the  trees,  and  the 
nice,  fresh  smell  of  country 
air.  You  can  tell  that  I'm

MiUigan  Represented  At 
Christian   Convention. 

The  Southeastern  Christian 
Convention  was  held  in  Atlan- 
ta. Georgia.  April  24.  25.  26. 

Professor  Robert  O.  Fife  ap- 
peared on  the  program  and 
Mr.  Stahl  was  the  college  rep- 
resentative with  a  display 
booth  on  Milhgan. 


Tennis 

After  winning  both  the  V.S.A.C  and  S.M.A.C.  in  1956, 
little  was  expected  this  year  of  the  Milligan  termis  team.  At 
this  writing,  although  losing  the  S.M.A.C  crown,  they  have 
won  the  easterii  division  of  the  V.S.A.C.  title.  Their  record 
to  date  is  6  and  8  although  only  two  regulars  of  last  year  have 
returned.  Bobby  Waites  who  returned  to  play  the  No.  1  posi- 
tion this  year  has  compiled  an  8  and  6  mark  and  Marvin 
Swiney  playing  No.  3  is  slightly  under  the  .500  mark.  The 
other  two  returning  lettermen  are  Gordon  Ellis  playing  No. 
5  and  Wes  Umberger  at  the  No.  4  position.  Ellis  has  a  9  and 
5  mark,  the  second  best  on  the  squad  and  Umberger  com- 
piled a  6  and  8  record.  Two  others  making  the  first  six  are 
Freddie  Menear  playing  at  the  No.  2  position  and  Jim  Crouch 
at  No.  6.  Crouch  has  the  best  record  of  any  man  on  the  squad 
with  10  wins  and  only  2  losses.  Sonny  Brown  playing  the  No. 
7  position  has  a  3  and  4  record  although  being  "'sacrificed" 
at  the  No.  2  position  a  couple  of  times. 

The  high  point  of  the  season  was  the  victory  over  State 
which  won  the  eastern  division  title  for  Milligan.  The  score 
was  6-3  as  Swiney,  Umberger.  Ellis,  and  Crouch  won  singles 
while  the  Nos.  2  and  3  doubles  teams  won  their  matches. 

Four  of  the  starting  six  are  graduating  seniors,  only  Um- 
berger and  Ellis  returning,  but  the  rest  of  the  squad  are  uh-* 
derclassmen  returning  next  season.  These  boys  have  played 
on  the  B  team  which  has  won  3  matches  against  only  one 
defeat.  Next  season  doesn't  look  particularly  bright,  but 
things  didn't  look  too  well  for  this  year,  either. 

The  team  was  under  the  able  direction  of  Dr.  Hugh 
Thompson  who  returned  this  year  after  a  lengthy  stay  at 
Tusculum  College. 

Track 

The  Milligan  College  track  team  broke  even  this  year  in 
regular*  meets  winning  four  and  losing  four  meets.  They  fin- 
ished third  in  the  V.S.A.C.  meet  as  Roger  Sizemore  scored 
19"^  points  and  the  team  garnered  49  points.  Incidentally, 
Sizemore  set  a  new  conference  record  as  he  ran  the  120  highs 
in  15.4. 

The  leading  scorers  for  the  season  were  Sizem.ore  who 
ran  the  hurdles,  high  jumped,  broad  jumped,  threw  the  jave- 
lin and  pole  vaulted  and  about  anything  else  anybody  cares 
to  mention.  John  A.  Williams  was  the  second  high  scorer 
running  the  dashes  and  broad  jumping.  Others  were  Sonny 
Smith  in  the  dashes,  Phil  Worrell  in  the  220  and  440.  George 
Ritchie  in  a  host  of  events.  Ron  Dougherty  in  the  high  jump 
and  weight  events,  and  Ray  Campbell  in  the  pole  vault.  Oth- 
ers scoring  enough  to  win  letters  were  Kast,  Templer.  Spotts 
running  the  two  mile,  Parker,  Mills.  Sheek,  Bartchy,  and 
Fred  McAnnich  the  able  manager. 

All  of  these  boys'  return  next  year  insuring  another  fine 
track  team.  Nathan  Hale  was  the  coach  this  year  and  in  his 
first  year  did  a  fine  job. 

Baseball 

Although  wirming  only  two  games  this  year,  it  can  be 
called  a  successful  season  as  one  of  those  two  victories  was 
over  East  Tennessee  9-8  in  the  most  exciting  game  of  the 
season.  The  other  victory  was  over  Marj-v-ille  3-2.  Gibbs  and 
Harris  took  both  of  the  victories.  In  some  respect  the  team 
should  be  better  next  year  as  almost  the  entire  pitching  staff 
returns.  However,  there  are  several  losses,  three  out  of  the 
infield,  two  out  of  the  outfield  and  the  catcher  Jim  Fox.  The 
other  five  starters  lost  are  John  Hall,  Laken  Warnock,  Den- 
nis Greenwell,  Jack  Gardner,  and  Duard  Aldridge  plus  Nolan 
Gibbs,  a  starting  pitcher. 

The  leading  hitter  this  season  was  Aldridge  hitting  a  fine 
.377,  and  John  A.  Williams,  the  fine  frosh  prospect  from  Rad- 
ford, Virginia  was  second  at  .289.  Those  on  the  pitching  staff 
returning  are  Harris,  Dudley.  White,  McKamey  who  also 
doubles  in  the  infield,  Lloyd  Deyton.  Other  lettermen  return- 
ing are  Williams,  Love,  Campbell.  Orr,  Shore  and  Burleson. 

From  The  Editor's  Desk ... 

Perhaps  the  greatest  injustice  of  the  year  to  this  writer 
was  the  fact  that  Sizemore  was  not  acclaimed  most  \^uable 
at  the  V.S.A.C.  track  meet  He  scored  more  points  and  scor- 
ed more  events  than  the  boy  who  was  chosen  most  valuable. 
Will  Roger  have  to  win  all  six  of  the  events  he  enters  to  win 
the  award?  At  any  rate,  this  column  would  like  to  honor  him 
as  the  finest  all-around  track  man  in  this  section  of  Tennes- 
see.  Last  year  Poe  of  State  was  probably  the  best  but  now 
that  he  is  gone  there  is  really  no  contest. 

It  is  interesting  to  look  at  some  of  the  records  compiled 
by  1957  graduates  of  Milligan  in  athletics.  Don  Williams 
coaching  at  Drj-den.  Virginia,  won  13  and  lost  8  in  his  first 
basketball  season,  and  the  girls  team  he  coached  lost  only 
three  games  all  season.  Ken  Gaslin  at  nearbv  Er\\-in  had  a 
winning  season  although  he  got  off  to  a  poor  start  Norm 
Held,  coaching  at  E.  Lynn,  Illinois,  had  a  9  and  U  rword  in 
the  regular  season.  Incidentally.  Zast  Lynn  is  the  smallest 
school  in  the  state  of  Illinois,  having  only  17  boy  students

,  .During  the  course  of  thlsiiyear,  we  hope 'to  alter  the 
'  format  of  this  paper.  Since  by  the  inirequency  of  its 
publication  It  can  not  serve  as  a  newspaper  In  the  ordi- 
nary tQx\s^  of  the  word,  we  are  going  to  make  it  serve  as 
a  combined  newspaper-magazine.  There'  is  ^ little  pre- 
cedent set  for  this  sort  of,  thing  and  difficulty  is'  sure  to 
ensue.  However,  we  see  no  point  In  trying  to  print  dead 
news.  If  we  can  give  you  news  we  will,  if  you  have  news 
we  will  print  It,  but  we  will  not  print  that  which  haa  al- 
ready been  thoroughly  discussed  and  knowri. 

There  is  no  surety  that  such  an'issue  will  be  any  Im- 
provement over  old  issues,' but  whetjher  It  Is  or  not  we 
Intend  to  stick  to  that  basis  until  such  time  as  it  Is  proven 
not  feasible.  You  are  Invited  to  contribute  anything  at 
all  which  may  seem  to  you  worth  While,  whether  it  be 
poetry,  short  essay,  or  simply  a  letter  to  the  editor.  ^    '

A  basic  misconception  exists  concerning  the  status 
of  the  Student  Council  They  are  considered  by  many  a  , 
governing  body,  when  in  actuality  they  are  only  a  recom- 
mending body  in  the  sphere  where  they  accept  the  most 
abuse.  This  is  not  to  be  construed  as  a  defense  of  their 
actions  and  principles.  It  merely  points  out  the  fact  that 
a  new  type  of  governing  body  is  needed  with  defined 
powers  more  explicitly  stated  through  the  Constitution. 
•  Our  purpose  In  saying  this  Is  to  point  out  that  cer- 
tain things  could  be  done  to  improve  the  campus.  One 
particular  thing  needed  is  a  used  textbook  service.  This 
could  be  provided  by  either  the  Administration  or  by  the 
Student  Council.  It  doesn't  matter  who  provides  the  ser- 
vice, just  so  the  service  Is  provided.  It  would  help  al- 
leviate the  early  semester  problems  of  no  textbook  thus 
helping  the  Individual  student,  and  it  would  provide  a 
profit  for  whoever  undertakes  the  project. 
•        •        • 

It  should  not  be  necessary  to  point  but  that  there  Is 
to  be  no  applause  after  a  religious  number.  At  the  FYesh- 
man  Talent  show  there  was  applause  after  many  num- 
bers which  are  customarily  considered  religious.  While 
these  songs  were  perhaps  quaal-religious  in  nature,  still 
no  applause  should  have  been  given.

Don't  bother  to  read  kny  furthei'  'If  you  are  looking  for 
entertainment  or  ^nlightment  of'what  not.  This  is  a  space 
filler  and  this  iasue  needs  a  lot,  besides  It  looks  better  than 
having  a  blank  space.'  This  ar title  won't  be  vague  like  the 
editorials  but  wiU  iiave  something  in  common  with  It,  It  won't 
say  much  either.  If  you've  bothered  to  go  this  far,  we  have 
a  few  little  words  of  advice  for  everyone  particularly  fresh- 
men. Most  of  you  have  never  learned  how  to  really  impresa 
people.    We  wish  to  offer  you  this  service  in  our  first  issue. 

The  first  thing  to  remember  is  that  you  should  everyone 
feel  a  little  inferior  to  you.  i  Don't  go  to 'sleep  In  class,  just 
alt  there ^wlth  a  bored  expression  on  your  face  in  an'attltudo 
of  knowlngness.  Don't  allow  a  teacher  to  ask  you  questions. 
This  sometimes  get  embarrassing.  It  is  better  to  ask  the  teach- 
er questions.  Remember,  keep  them  on  the  defensive.  Find 
.  your  professors  weak  points  and  exploit  them.  A  good  de- 
vice here  is  to  ask  a  question  you  already  know  the  answer 
to  and  then  say  something  like,  "Might  this  explain  it,"  then 
go  on  and  answer  the  question  yourself. 

Occasionally  you  will  find  yourself  In  a  situation  where 
you  know  nothing  about  what  other  people  are  talking  about. 
For  example  if  they  are  talking  about  history,  run  the  sub- 
ject down  and  say  it  is  of  little  value  to  the  modern,  educated 
man.  After  that,  sit  around  In  feigned  Indifference.  Or  you 
can  say,  "Oh,  we  discussed  that  in  the  sixth  grade,  and  I 
don't  regard  It  a^  particularly  Important,  so  I've  forgotlea 
about  it." 

You  must  select  a  good  although  not  large  vocabulary. 
You  will  find  the  words  moot,  mundane,  psuedo-lntellectu^, 
quasi-Intellectual,  ephmeral,  ethereal,  stilted,  trite,  prosaic 
and  maybe  three  or  four  more  will  suffice, 

If  forced  to  answer  a  question  In  class,  quickly  get  off 
the  subject  by  bringing  in  material  from  a  field  you  are  well 
acquainted  with.  Also,  be  an  expert  in  one  field,  an  admir- 
able one  might  be  early  fourth  century  Byzantine  architec- 
ture. 

Last  but  hardly  least,  don't  make  the  low  honor  roll. 
Either  have  all  "As"  or  stay  off  all  together.  It  shouldn't  be 
hard,  the  teachers  will  probably  hate  you,  but  your  fellow 
students  will  not  notice  your  name  on  the  Dean's  List,  or  if 
they  should  they  will,  think  It  has  been  left  off  by  mistake.

I'm  writing  this  in  the  hope 
that  next  year's  Student  Coun- 
cil won't  make  the  same  mis- 
take this  year's  Council  made. 
I  have  to  come  back  next  year 
and  I  don't  care  to  hear  the 
Alma  Mater  forty  times  a  day. 
It  is  disgusting  and  cheapens 
the  song.  Incidentally,  why 
doesn't  somebody  malce  a  de- 
termined effort  to  find  a 
slightly  more  original  Alma 
Mater.  I  had  this  one  in  grade 
school  and  high  school.  Just 
think  what  would  happen  if 
I  took  graduate  work  at  Cor- 
nell.

is  still  a  scoop  when  the  paper  comes  out:

hit  campus  in  the  persons  of  Barb  Scott  and  Bruce  "Trent.

Bridge,  A  Social 
Necessity 

"Today,  bridge  is  regarded 
as  almost  a  social  necessity, 
it  is  estimated  there  are  25 
million  bridge  players  in  the 
United  States."  This  is  what 
Th«  Inform«tlj>n  Pl«a»«  Al- 
manac haa  to  say  about 
bridge.  My  opinion  of  it  is 
somevyhat,  different. 

I  think  that  bridge  should 
be  eliminated  on  the  grounds 
that  it  is  a  social  evil.  In  the 
early  medieval  period,  shuf- 
fleboard  was  outlawed  be- 
cause the  men  spent  more 
time'  playing  shuffleboard 
than  they  did  practicing  arch- 
ery, and  the  kings  thought  an 
able  army  more  desirable  than 
top  -  notch  shuffleboard 
team.  This  example  will  give 
a  good  general  notions  of  what 
should  be  done  with  bridge, 

The  facility  with  which 
bridge  can  work  Itself  Into 
one's  daily  existence  is  phe- 
nomenal, and  is  surpassed 
only  by  smoidng.  as  a  sheer 
ha  bit- forming.  It  can  affect  a 
change  in  a  person  in  a  com 
paratively  short  time. 

Perhaps  some  readers  are 
familiar  with  the  nice  young 
girl  who  goes  away  to  college 
and  returns  as  a  perpetually 
bored.  p««udo-sophisticate. 

This  resulted  from  spending 
all  her  spare  time  playing 
bridge  with  evil  companions. 
Of  course,  we  all  know  this 
could  never  happen  at  Milli- 
gan. .    .- 

I  must,  however,  admit  my  petitiorv  of  a  game  of  mumbly- 
grudglng  admiration  for  the  P^g-  "  developes  keen  pow- 
5olse  and  the  indifference  to|  f."_°,L^.'?!l^'i^.f"l'^_..l"^!^!" 
surroundings  which  mark  the 
bridge  addict.

'    DR.  GERVm 

(Double  Stamp  Day  on  Friday) 


'  The  Hollywood  documen' 
tary  of  the  sinking  of  the  Ti- 
tanic showed  passengers  play- 
ing bridge  at  a  time  when 
more  normal  persona  were 
vesting  themselves  in  kapok 
and  contemplating  ■  a  ■  moon 
light  dip.  Of  course,'  if  there 
were  slam  poselbllities  one 
can  hardly  blame  them. 

Nevertheless,  it  must  be  ac- 
knowledged'  that  bridge  has 
its  advantages.'  The  average 
bridge  game  occupies  little 
more  space  than  a  medlum- 
•^iZed  mud  puddle.  It  is  low 
enough  to  the  ground  that  two 
people  can  easily  talk  over 
the  heads  of  the  participants. 
As  a  matter  of  fact, 'it  can  be 
stated  as  a.  general  principle 
that  it  is  not- at' all  hard  to 
talk  over  the  head  of  a  bridge 
player. 

Bridge  is  a  quiet  game,  yet 
it  has  all  the  super-charged 
excitement   and    fierce    com- 


tive  Instinct  that  can  quickly 
strip  the  Pinky  Lee  Show  of 
all  its  mental  challenge. 

But,  best  of  all,  bridge  re^ 
duces  to  virtual  silence  a 
group  of  people  who.  Judging 
by  their  card-playing  tena- 
city, would  be  insufferable, 
argumentative  bores  if  turn- 
ed loose  in  normal  society. 

Nevertheless,  it  Is  a  social 
evil.  So,  do  your  part.  Help 
stamp  out  bridge!  The  best 
thing  to  do  is  to  go  around 
destroying  every  pad  of  paper 
marked  "We"  and  "They." 
When  your  host  suggests 
bridge,  set  the  group  on  their 
heels  with  a  burst  of  impas- 
sioned denouncement.  If  you 
are  not  that  type  of  person, 
suggest  a  rousing  game  of 
"Authors." 

One  Important  thing,  don't 
bother  writing  your  congress- 
men. What  do  you  think  they 
do  with  all  their  spare  time 
in  Washington?  There  is  only 
room  for  three  other  people  in 
President  Eisenhower's  golf 
foursomes.

8  Girls  Compete 
For  Founder's 
Daughter  Title 

Five  senior  girls,  two  jun- 
iors, and  one  sophomore  are 
competing  for  the  honor  of 
being  chosen  Founder's 
Daughter  of  1957.  An  excel- 
lent form  of  campaigning  has 
been  carried  on  by  means  of 
pictures,  posters,  and  signs  to 
make  the  election  more  color- 
ful and  effective. 

The  annual'  introduction  of 
candidates  in  Student  Coun- 
cil Chapel  has  added  much  to 
the  "spirit"  of  the  election  by 
the  presentation  of  skits» 
stunts,  and  introductory 
speeches. 

Miss  Ruth  Eason,  member 
of  the  Senior  Class,  is  from 
Indianapolis,  Indiana,  and  is 
representing  the  Christian 
Service  Club.  Mr.  Bill  Ander- 
son is  her  escort,  and  Mr. 
Teeter  Robinson  is  her  cam-.. 
paign  manager. 

Miss  Roxann  Henderson  is 
from  Enterprise,  Florida,  and 
IS  a  member  of  the  Senior 
Class.  She  is  being  sponsored 
by  the  Physical  Education 
Club  and  the  "M"  Club.  Del- 
mar  Harris  is  her  escort,  and 
Janet  Gilbert  is  her  campaign 
manager. 

Miss  Barbara  Scott  is  spon- 
sored by  the  Ministerial  As- 
sociation and  the  Christian 
Service  Seekers.  She  is  from 
Walhonding,  Ohio,  and  a

Milligan  Receives  Complete  Library 
Of  The  Late  Dr.  Welshimer  Of  Canton 

The  gift  of  the  library  of 
the  late  Dr.  P.  H.  Welshimer 
to  Milligan  College  was  re- 
cently announced.  The  li- 
brary, consisting  of  several 
thousand  volumes,  was  pre- 
sented to  the  college  by  Miss 
Mildred  Welshimer  and  her 
brother,  Ralph  Welshimer,  of 
Canton,  Ohio. 

The  late  Dr.  Welshimer  was 
the  minister  of  the  First 
Christian  Church  of  Canton 
which  is  the  largest  Christian 
Church    In    the    world.    The 


books  are  especially  valu- 
able  because  of  the  notes 
which  he  made  in  them.  His 
personal  observations  thus  re- 
corded will  be  invaluable  to 
ministerial  students  for  years 
to  come. 

In  addition  to  the  books 
there  were  also  presented 
more  than  two  hundred  of 
Dr.  Welshimer's  sermon  out- 
lines and  other  personal  notes. 
Also  included  were  several 
of  the  works  of  Dr.  Welshi- 
mer's daughter,  the  late  Helen 
Welshinjer. 


Two   New   Clothes 
Dryers  And   Washer 
Coming   He^e    Soon 

Due  to  the  combined  effect 
of  a  petition  from  the  Student 
Body,  the  fine  treatment  of 
present  equipment  by  this 
year's  students,  and  the  pre- 
paration of  a  comprehensive 
report  on  the  washing^situa- 
tion  by  the  Student  Council 
submitted  to  the  Administra- 
tion, three  units  are  soon  to 
be  added  to  the  campus's 
laundry  facilities. 

After_the  need  was  clearly 
defined,  a  new  gas  quick-re- 
covery water  heater  was  in- 
stalled, which  should  mean 
hot  water  at  any  hour.

Dr,  Derthick  Celebrates  Birthday  At 
Milligan  College  For  85th  Birthday 


Dr.  Henry  J.  Derthick, 
President  Emeritus  of  Milli- 
gan College,  celebrated  his 
eightyJifth  birthday  on  Octo- 
ber 23  at  Milligan  College. 

Eighty-five  years  does  not 
seem  like  such  a  long  time 
when  one  is  accustomed  to 
looking  back  over  long  spans 
of  history,  and  to  say,  "Dr. 
Derthick  is  eighty-five,"  seems 
not  at  all  reiyiarkable.  Yet 
when  we  compare  it  with  our 
own  ages,  or  consider  the  pos- 
sibility of  development  dur- 
ing eighty-five  years,  we  can 
find  much  that  is  marvelous. 

Dr.  Derthick  Is  almost  half 
as  old  as  our  country.  He  was 
bom  just  as  the  nation  had 
become  a  nation  in  the  fullest 
sense  of  word.  The  ClvU  War 
had  just  been  fought  the  West 


was  almost  settled,  and  th» 
nation  was  turning  its  atten- 
tion to  a  frontier  of  political 
reform  and  scientific  achieve- 
ment— and  this  nation  needed 
educators. 

Dr.  Derthick  began  to  teach 
because,  as  he  says,  "I  could 
not  do  anything  else."  He  was 
born  in  1872  in  Bedford,  Ohio^ 
He  received  an  A.  B.  degree 
at  Hiram  College  in  Ohio  and 
an  A.  M.  at  the  Uni\-ersity  of 
Michigan.  He  received  twa 
honorary  degrees,  one  from 
Johnson  Bible  College,  and 
another  from  Milligan.  H« 
married  his  cousin,  Pearl  Dei^ 
thick,  a  brilliant  and  beauti- 
ful woman,  who  supplement- 
ed his  abilities  while  being  ar> 
educator  In  her  own  richt.

Comes  To  Life 


THE   ESSAY   CORNER 


By  SCOTT  BARTCHY 


Editorials... 

Despite  the  problems  facing  the. world  and  the  prob- 
lems facing  us  as  individuals,  in  this  season  we  can  find 
a  host  of  things  that  we  must  be  thankful  for.  With  the 
nation  sharply  split  over  the  racial  question„with  Russia 
showing  a  large  margin  over  us  in  some  phases  of  tech- 
nilogical  achievement,  still  we  must  be  thankful  that  we 
have  the  time  and  the  means  to  eventually  ease  the 
racial  situation,  and  that  action  has  begun  that  should  re- 
gain our'scientific  margin  over  Russia. 

As  students  we  have  many  little  problems 'which  al- 
though they  have  no  great  significance  in  comparison  to 
those  things  mentioned  alx)ve,  are  very  real  to  us.  We 
should  continue  to  make  attempts  to  clear  up  thtse  prob- 
lems, but  we  must  never  forget  the  privileges  which  are 
ours.  Just  having  the  means  or  the  ability  to  go  to  col- 
lege separates  us  from  four-fifths  of  people  our  own  age 
in  this  country.  In  other  coimtries  there  is  even  less  of 
an  opportunity  to  obtain  a  higher  education.  If  we  were 
students  in  Russia,  those  of  lis  ^vho  showed  little  pro- 
ficiency in  science  would  either  find' ourselves  not  being 
able  to  go  further  or  relegated  to  a  minor  status. 

We  can  be  thankful  for  a  standard  of  living  which  is 
the  highest  in  the  world,  one  which  allows  us  material 
advantages  which  no  other  country  can  boast.  Com- 
paring ourselves  to  Milligan' students  of  ten  years,  ago . 
we  must  be  thankful,  for /the  aids  made  to  our.material- 
comfort.  ' 

Last  and  hardly  feast,  we  must  be  .thankful  for  the 
freedom  of  worship,  to  worship    where  .  and  ..when  .  we 

please,  to  be  able  to  worship  God  from. the  dictates  of  our.  ^    ^  ^ _^

Just  having  finished  reading  the  editorials,  it  seems  to 
me  that  the  greatest  blessing  of  all  was  left  out.  This  bless- 
ing is  the  one  that  provides  us  with  all  those  material  bene- 
fits the  editor  was  talking  about.    Looking  at  all  these  cars

There  they  were,  beginning  a  crusade  from  one  end  of  the 
hall  to  the  other,  each  armed  with  their  nasty  little  venom. 
Into  the  drawers,  out  of  the  closets,  down  the  wall,  be- 
tween the  sheets,  in  the  window,  on  top  of  the  soup,  germs, 
germs,  germs! 

,  'It  all  bfegan  before  that,  when  the  boys  were  dropping 
like  flies  and -rushing  panic-stricken  to  their  humble  abodes. 
The  battle  cry:  Asian  flu!  Of  course,  there  is  nothing  nor- 
mal about  Milligan  (especially  its  Dean)  and  it  just  so  hap- 
pened that  the  Lower  Slabovian  flu  hit  with  a  mighty  stroke' 
The  girls  felt  very  smug  and  self-assured,  but  somehow  the 
delightful  little  critter  had  pups  and  a  drove  of  germs  tiptoed 
over  the  horizon  and  attacked  Sutton.  On  it  moved  to  Har- 
din, and  northward  to  the  polar  regions  of  Cheekeslovokia. 
There  was  no  cause  for  complaint  until  half  of  the  male 
population  was  forced  into  hibernation  at  the  Sub  asa  rem- 
edy for  frostbite.  . 

Onward  it  spread  its  dark  little  shadow,  and  jthe  classic 
statement  of  the  year  became  "I'm  not  going  to  get  sick!"  And 
to  her  bed  she  ran.  , 

Then  there  was  the  Brutus  who  was  the  germ  carrier. 
There  sopeared  nothing  strange  that  each  night  a  new  fel- 
low walked  her  home  from  the  Sub,  nor  did  it  appear  strange 
that  farh  day  claimed  a  new  male  victim,  but  when  we  real- 
ized that  they  were  one  and  the  same,  well  .  .  . 

A\}  about  was  heard  the  tinkling  sound  of  bursting  them- 
mometers.  and  the  loud  protestations  of  little  innocents  claim- 
ing to  be  healthy,  but  tremendously  warm-blooded. 

Then  came  the  nurse  who  was  a  student,  bravely  armed 
with  thermometer  and  iodine,  to  display  the  quaint  talent  of 
throat  painting.  'Tis  an  ill  wind  that  blows  no  good,  and  her 
bottles  iingled  together  loudly  enough  to  warm  the  visitors 
to  head  for  the  shower  and  the  patient  to  head  for  cover,  and 
this  is  speaking  literally.     '  - 

But  all's  well  that'ertds  well  and  despite  slight  cases  of 
consumntion,  sore  throats,  burning  heads,  cold  feet,  soup, 
juices,  fevers,  headaches,  missed  classes,  fevers,  homesick- 
ness, loneliness,  fevers,  a  feeling  of  being  a  leper,  fevers, 
frightened  roommates,  fevers,  dirtv  hair,  fevers,  and  cold 
sores  and  fevers,  everyone  is  heaelthy  again  and  it's  almost 
sad  the  way  the  bashful  bug  must  pack  its  family  and  wan- 
der off.

10.  The  Modlum. 


It  would  seem  by  looking  at 
the   paper  that  Dr.   Lambert 
really  got  something  started 
when  he  began  giving  extra 
credit  for  poetry  turned  in  to 
him.  This  raises  the  question 
if  there  is  any  real  value  to 
writing   poetry    as    compared 
f.o  any  other  phase  of  writing. 
[f  Dr.  Lambert  had  said  nov- 
els  instead   of   poems   would 
we   be  getting  in  a  rash  of 
novels  or  even  short  stories. 
'So,    probably    not,    but    yet 
there    has    been    inestimable 
poetry  turned  in,  some  of  it  of 
a   doubtful   nature   in   so  far 
as  merit  is  concerned.  But  it 
has   had    a  purpose,    in   that 
those  who  have  attempted  it 
have  developed  a  greater  ap- 
preciation of  poetry  itself.  It 
?an  be  said  of  America  today, 
that  it  is  intellectually  sterile 
in  the  literary  arts.  While  the 
^juiz    given    last     issue    was 
made  especially  difficult.  It  is 
difficult  to    see    why    better 
scores  should   not    have     re;- 
sulted.  In  each  case,  either  the 
work  or  the  author  was  fa- 
mous, yet  people  did  not  seem 
to   be   well    acquainted   with 
either  work  or  author.     Un- 
fortunately,   this    is    nation- 
wide rather  than  just  here  at 
Milligan.    The    classics    have 
been    neglected    for    other 
ohases  of  education  which  are 
not  always  too  worthwhile. 

This  neglect  may  be  hard 
for  some  people  to  see;  in  oth- 
er words,  what  is  the  differ- 
encer  However,  we  can  see 
now  one  of  the  weaknesses  of 
our  Deweyan  '  philosophy  or 
whatever  we  wish  to  call  it. 
Progressive  education  has  not 
turned  out  people  with  scien- 
tific minds  and  now  that  we 
see  it,  it  may  be  too  late.  Sci- 
ence is  a  phase  of  a  liberal 
education  and  we  see  the  re- 
sults of  our  failure  now.  Per- 
haps, someday,  we  will  see 
that  we  should  not  have  let 
down  in  our  efforts  to  obtain 
a  true  liberal  education. 

Now  what  does  this  have  to 
do  with  poetry  assignments. 
Merely  this,  that  a  lot  of  peo- 
n)e  started  finding  out  the 
mechanics  of  poetry,  they  be- 
gan to  like  it  a  little  more, 
and  perhaps  now  they  will 
begin  to  desire  to'  find  out 
some  of  the  things  about  mu- 
«;ic,  art.  philosophy,  and  oth- 
'»*■  cultural  subjects.  Anything 
*hat  '"iH  encourage  students 
to  this  end  is  worthwhile. 
While  everyone  agrees  with 
T\^qtt^ew  Arnold's  definition 
of  culture  and  believes  in  the 
value  of  culture,  they  have 
not  troub'ed  to  look  for  "the 
be.i^t  of  all  things,  written  or 
Said."

THE  LITTLE  FARM 

By  KEN  WINDER 
Possibly,  a  word  of  explanation  about  the  writing  of  this 
poem  might  help  a  little  in  its  appreciation.  At  the  time  it 
was  written  I  had  been  in  the  U.  S.  Navy  a  little  over  a  year, 
but  had  been  assigned  to  the  ship  for  only  a  couple  of  months 
We  had  been  underway  before,  but  this  time  we  were  head- 
ing for,  Edinburgh,  Scotland.  I  had  no  idea  what  havoc  the 
rough  sea  was  going  to  play  with  my  sense  of  balance,  so 
during  the  third  day  of  verj-  rough  weather,  I  experienced 
quite  a  feeling  of  triumph,  in  that  I  was  still  on  my  feet  and 
eating  three  meals  a  day. 

This  sense  of  accomplishment  along  with  a  feeling  of 
uncerUinty  and  a  definite  regret  filled  my  mind  as  I  at  this 
time  considered  our  moving  such  a  great  distance  from  the 
United  Statees  and  from  the  home  and  memories  to  which  I 
had  been  attached  fbr  19  years.  As  I  sat  down  that  evening 
to  write  a  letter  home  to  the  folks,  I  was  overcome  by  a 
flood  of  nostalgia  which  swept  all  the  way  back  to  my  boy- 
hood and  the  wonderful  days  on  the  farm.  I  feel  that  young 
people  who  have  not  been  associated  with  farm  life  must 
surely  have  missed  something  which  brings  them  very  close 
to  God's  nature. 

In  the  next  three  or  four  hours  I  composed  this  true  poem 
which  I  put  into  the  envelope  instead  of  a  letter.  However, 
I'msiu-e  that  it  expressed  my  sentiments  more  adequately 
than  any  letter  could  have  done.  I  feel  that  my  childhood 
was  made  full  and  happy '  only  by  the  family  and  friends 
with  which  I  was  blessed. 

THE  LITTLE  FARM 

Take  me  back  to  that  country  site 

Where  the  sun  shone  down  with  all  its  might, 

And  at  times  after  dark  the  rain  would  patter 
,    Sending  down  its  song  of  sleepful  chatter.     .  * 

What  Is  more  dear  to  me  this  minute 

Than  the  wide  green  yard  and  the  bridge  of  granite, 
Under  which  winds  the  muddy  little  stream 

whose  waters  so  often- 1  see  in  my  dreams. 

Seems  a  little  each  day  my  memory  will  clear 

Bringing  back  to  me,  my  childhood  so  dear,      " 

I  ask  no  more  of  my  God  today 

Than  He  let  me  remember  when  I  roamed  my  way. 

As  time  goes  on,  my  memory  does  not  dull, 

But  from  the  storehouse  treasurees  I  pull,  *  ": 

Experiences  joyful  I'm  again  reliving,  i- 

Could  one  ask  more,  for  his  life's  giving? 

First  I'm  rolling  down  the  hill 

Then  to  the  woods  end  I  walk  where.  I  will. 
Each  twist  and  turn  in  the  old  wagons'  trail, 

I  loved  to  explore,  as  the  wind  gave  its  wail. 

Or  maybe  I'd  sit  in  the  shade  by  the  pond, 

For  between  me  and  nature,  there'll  always         ^ 
be  a  bond;  ^  ;■ 

The  wind  rustling  the  leaves  has  a  definite  sound  * ' 

Of  music  that  ne'er  fails  to  make  my  heart  pound. 

Then  up  to  Grandma's  .  .  .  dld-fashioned  and  nice, 

Just  a  family  of  two.  that  knew  no  vice; 
And  in'the  front  yard  'twas  like  a  picture,  i 

To  look  thru  the  trees  at  this  colonial  fixture.  #    ■ 

Though  this  house  was  quite  plain  to  see,  ' 

To  me  it  stretched  back  a  century,  '    : 

When  the  old  slave  said  with  a  tear  in  his  eye,  '  '  t. 
Up  there  lives  a  man  I'll  love  'till  I  die. 

Yes  .     .  that  was  Grandpa,  so  tall  and  kind. 

Who  sang  to  me  "Chick-A-Dee,  Deedum.  Go  Find,"    • 
Could  I  help  but  love  these  second  parents  of  mine, 
•    Who  gave  me  my  Mother,  as  sweet  as  the  pine?' 

It  seems  my  Brother,  who  was  not  one  to  tarry,  ' 

Would  ask  for  a  tool  with  a  sweetened  query . 

Of  course  I  would  hasten  to  fulfill  his  plea. 

For  what  he  was  building.  Just  might  be  for  me. 

Hop  on  my  bike,  and  to  my  cousins  I'd  co. 

^  Down  the  gravel  road,  along  the  fence  row.  .     ' 

We'd  play  in  the  waiting  house  along  the  mound 
Wheere  years,  ago,  the  train  wheels  did  sound. 

The  empty'old  barn  with  the  owls  flitting  thru',  .  ■ 

Its  paneeless  windows  showing  the  skv  so  blue 

Way  high  in  the  rafters  the  wind  would  howl. 
Telling  us  that  no  more  did  animals  prowl. 

The  ancient  tractor  long  covered  bv  wild -grass  high 

Stood  like  a  monument  to  past  fields  of  rye. 
For  Uncle  was  not  mednt  to  wield  the  spade,      '.         -• 

His  heart  was  carefree,  a  Jack  of  all  trades.   '    .■::,■; 
Daddv  usually. saw  that  I  did  what  was  proper. 

Which  sometimes  seemed  to  get  right  down  '    ■  •'    '    • 
to  jny.  copper;  .'  '  ;.  ■"■  \' 

Now  I  look, down  to  the  days  I  was  younger, 

T'wei;e  not  for  his  hand.  I'd  sure  be  a  bungler. 
This  is  how  I  spent  my  days  as  a  lad.     -    "  ,- 

Sad  ItovVartd  thcnj  but"  most  the  time  glad 
Wishing  that  others  ■might  share  the  touch        '  '  ■'      . 

Of  the  little  farm,  that  I  loved  so  much  .  '

THE      STAMPEDE 


Friday,  November  29.  1957 


THE  STAMPEDE'S 

SPORTSECTION 

GENE  GARLICHS,  Sporis  Editor 

Coach  Walker  on  Basketball 

The  team  this  year  is  as  follows:  1.  Charles  Aitken,  2. 
Carrol  Buck.  3.  Jim  Burleson— letterman.  4.  Bob  Burton, 
5.  Del  Harris— letterman,  6.Pat  Murphy,  7.  Bob  Sams, 
8.  Roger  Sizemore — letterman,  9.  Charles  (Sonny)  Smith— 
letterman,  10.  Charles  Tester,  U.  Richard  (Little  Goose) 
Van  Buren— letterman,  12,  Robert  {Big  Goose)  Van  Buren 
—letterman,      13.  Lowell  Williams. 

The  team  will  be  on  the  short  end  of  the  ladder  in  the 
height  department.  The  team  is  fast  and  will  use  variations 
of  the  weave  and  the  3-2  offense  this  year.  Definitely  the 
Buffs  will  use  a  switching  man-to-man.  j 

East  Tennessee  State  lost  its  starting  five  this  year  and 
Coach  Madison  Brooks  has  to  field  in  all-new  five.  MAYBE 
this  year  Milligan  could  beat  the  big  bad  Buccaneers  of  ETSC! 
Let's  hope  so. 

Carson-Newman  and  Emory  &  Henry  have  new  cfcaches 
this  year.  It  will  be  interesting  to  note  any  changes  in  these 
two  teams  this  year. 

Bethel  sports  a  shorty  by  the  name  of  Moon  MuUins  who 
is  a  mere  6'9",  Sonny  Smith  has  played  him  and  should  be 
able  to  help  us  overcome  this  height  disadvantage.  MuUins  is 
the  tallest  player  the  Buffs  will  meet  all  season. 

Austin  Peay  will  be  out  for  vengeance  this  year  after  our 
victory  over  them  last  season.  The  Buffs  haven't  lost  against 
Austin  Peay  on  our  own  court,  but  neither  have  we  won  on 
the  opponent's  home  floor. 

L.M.U.,  who  find  our  gym  made  for  them,  will  once  again 
be  tough.  • 

'  There  have  been  some  new  rule  changes  with  which  we 
should  familiarize  ourselves  before  the  season  opens.  They 
are  as  follows: 

1.     There  will  be  no  1-1  Bhots  after  foula  until  the 
1  'team  commuting  the  foul  has  a  cumulative  total 

of  6  perBonal  fouls  In  each  half.     Before  this  total 
\  1b  reached,  only  one  shot  per  foul  la  allowed,  un- 

less It  is  a  two-shot  foul. 

It  Is  now  lUeqal  for  a  player  of  either  team  to 
touch  the  ball  or  the  basket  when  the  ball  Is  on  or 
in  either  basket  or  when  It  la  in  fhe  cylinder 
above  the  basket.  This  applies  roqardleas  of 
whether  It  occurs  on  a  try  for  a  field  goal  or  a 
free  throw  or  on  a  rebound  from  the  backboard. 
■  It  does  not  prevent  "dunking  the  ball,"  provided 
the  player  gets  control  of  the  ball  legally  and  not 
by  violatinq  the  above  rule  change.  This  could 
be  a  definite  advantage  for  smaller  teams,  giv- 
ing them  an  Qven  chance  to  get  the  ball. 
In  case  o!  double  foul,  no  free  throw  is  to  be  taken 
by  either  team.  A  Jump  ball  will  lake  place  at 
the  center  of  the  court. 

This  year  there  Is  no     feslrlctlon     to     Ihrow-lns 
from  the  free  throw  line  lano  extended.  In  other 
words,  we  are  back  to  the  rule  that  existed  prior 
io  last  year. 
This  year  let's  all  back  the  Buffs  to  our  fullest  capacity. 
Help  the  cheelreaders;  School  spirit  is  half  of  a  ball  team,  so 
let's  make  our  half  the  best.     See  you  Thanksgiving  night 
when  we  play  Tusculum.

Dr.  Derthick  Celebrates 
Rirlhday  At  Milligan 

(Conlinued  From  Page  One) 
Dr.  Derthick  was  head  of 
Hazel  Green  Academy 
Kentucky  for  five  years,  from 
1904  to  i909.  The  Derthicks 
came  to  Milligan  in  June  of 
1917.  The  following  year  there 
was  a  fire  which  destroyed 
the  administration  building. 
Through  Dr.  Derthick's  ef- 
forts the  administration  biuld- 
ing  was  rebuilt  and  Pardee 
w^s  built  in  1919. 

While  Dr.  Derthick  worked 
to  develop  Milligan  and  to 
keep  it  going  during  the  de. 
"ression.  Mrs.  Derthick  was 
Dean  of  Women  and  dietician, 
among  other  things.  She  su- 
Tier\'ised  the  landscaping  of 
the  college  grounds. 

The  Derthicks  left  Milligan 
in  1940  because  oi  Mrs.  Der- 
thick's defective  heart.  That 
same  year  Dr.  Derthick 
founded  an  organization  call- 
ed Facing  Forward.  Inc.  This 
organization  is  supported  by 
donations  and  its  funds  "^are 
used  to  educate  young  people. 
In  connection  with  Facing 
Forward.  Dr.  Derthick  gives 
"ocational  guidance  counsel- 
ing to  high  school  seniors  in 
the  east  Tennessee  area. 


"B"   TEAM   BASKETBALL 

Coaches  Del  Harris  and  Sonny  Smith  report  a  good  turn- 
out for  the  year's  "B"  team.  They  have  good  all  around 
depth,  although  suffering  as  usual  from  lack  of  height.  The 
team  has  fair  speed  and  will  probably  work  out  of  a  1-3-1 
and  2-3  and  will  use  a  semi-shihing  man  to  man  defense. 
They  opened  their  schedule  with  Erwin  last  week.

Weight  Lifting  Comes  To  Campus 

Weight-lifting,  a  new  activity  to  our  campus,  has  been 
going  on  for  the  past  month  in  the  gym.  Under  the  super- 
vision of  Dr.  Crowder,  this  world-wide  sport  is  becoming 
something  big  here.  Dr.  Crowder  trains  with  weights  right 
along  with  the  fellows.  He  reasons  that  the  purpose  of 
weight-lifting  is  to  provide  a  proper  housing  for  the  Holy 
Spirit  which  dwells  withinj  or  should  dwell  within,  our 
bodies. 

Sound  health  is  essential  for  a  strong  healthy  mind.  We 
should  have  healthy  minds  so  as  to  be  able  to  study,  worship, 
and  behave  as  Christians  should. 

Weight-lifting  can  help  the  fat  man  or  the  skirmy  man. 
Used  properly,  it  can  put  weight  on  or  take  weight  off.  A 
person's  weight  arso  has  much  to  do  witli  good  health.  A  per- 
son who  trains  or  works  out  to  remain  in  good  physical  con- 
dition saves  time  in  the  overall  picture  by  not  getting  run- 
down and  not  being  as  susceptible  to  disease. 

The  person  who  trains  with  weights  can  work  for  endur- 
ance or  for  increase  of  size  of  a  particular  muscle.  Exercises 
are  designed  to  help  only  certain  muscles,  those  which  the 
patron  wishes  to  develop.  From  eight  to  twelve  repetitions 
of  an  exercise  are  advisable  for  best  results  in  increasing  the 
size  of  a  muscle.  Three  workouts  a  week  for  one  hour  each 
are  also  conductive  to  better  results. 

Any  exercise  increases  the  flow  of  blood  through  your 
body.  "The  blood  carries  the  energy  and  food  to  the  muscle 
cells.  The  exact  amount  of  blood  regulated  to  a  muscle 'cell 
will  tend  to  increase  size  while  excess  amount  of  blood  to 
the  cell  Will  cause  it  (the  cell)  to  burn  itself  up  and  tear  down 
the  miiscle  size  but  increase  the  endurance  of  the  muscle. 

Athletes  of  all  types  of  sports  train  with  weights  to  bet- 
ter condition  muscles  needed  for  their  respective  sports.  Field 
'men,  shot  putters,  discus  throwers,  pole  vaulters  use  weights 
frequently  to  better  themselves 

Weight-lifting,  if  used  properly,  can  bo  done  well  into 
middle  age  and  even  into  old  age,  depending  on  the  condi- 
tion of  the  person's  heart. 

Wrestling  at  Milligan  is  a  good  possibility  if  we  can  get 
equipment.  The  equipment  needed  consists  of  mats  and  mat 
covers.  Dr.  Crowder  says  enthusiasm  Is  here  for  the  sport 
if  we  can  get  equipment.  If  wrestling  becomes  a  reality  at 
M.  C,  Milligan  could  enter  into  intercollegiate  competition 
with  bigger  schools  like  Duke,  etc..  and  be  on  a  par  with 
them;  for  wrestling  is  an  individual  sport  in  which  ability, 
not  size,  is  the  main  requisite.  College  wrestling,  I  might  add, 
is  not  anything  like  the  pro  wrestlers  you  see  on  television. 
It  is  competitive,  skillful,  fun  to  watch,  and  to  participate  in. 
Let's  ail  strive  to  back  this  new  venture  at  Milligan  and  see 
it  become  a  reality.'"  :■ 


A  Look  At  The  Lettermen ... 

The  1957-58  edition  of  the  Buff  basketball  squad  returns 
six  lettermen,  one  of  these  after  a  two-year  layoff.  Charles 
Smith  is  the  only  senior  and  was  a  transfer  student  from 
Holmes  in  Mississippi.  Standing  6-2,  he  led  the  team  in  re- 
bounding last  year  and  was  third  in  scoring  a  13-point  a 
game  average.  A  Physical  Education  major  he  hopes  to  go 
north  to  coach. 

Four  of  the  returnees  are  juniors.  Del  Harris,  6-3,  and  a 
ministerial  student,  led  the  team  in  scoring  last  year  with  a 
20-point  average.  He  is  one  of  four  D.  Y.'s  returning,  coming 
from  Plainfield,  Indiana. 

Roger  Sizemore.  5-10,  from  Steubenville,  Ohio,  better 
known  as  the  outstanding  track  man  in  the  area  is  returning 
for  his  third  year.  Always  an  outstanding  ball-handler  and 
dribbler  he  showed  toward  the  end  of  last  year  an  improved 
shooting  eye.  Roger  is  also  a  ministerial  student. 

Bob  and  Dick  Van  Buren,  originally  from  Pittsburgh 
but  who  can  now  be  called  local*  boys  return.  Bob  after  a 
two-year  absence.  Bob,  6-3,  and  Dick,  6-2.  are  both  tremendous 
rebounders  and  both  good  scorers  when  they  see  the  ball. 
Both  are  physical  education  majors. 

Jim  Burleson,  a  local  boy,  stands  5-10,  and  lettered  last 
year  at  guard.  Having  played  in  the  forward  wall  in  high 
school,  it  has  taken  him  a  year  to  adjust  to  playing  guard  but 
appears  a  likely  candidate  to  play  opposite  Sizemore.

THE  FLU   BUG 

— with  apologlttc  lo  Edmund  Spenaar 

At  Milligan,  a  dreaded  malady,  " 

.  The  campus  wide,  o'crspread  her  sickly  spell; 
An  influenza,  spawned  across  the  sea. 
At  mid-term  season,  it  untimely  fell 
With  fevers,  and  with  nausea,  as  well 
As  aches  and  pains,  and  blood-shot  eyes;  it  took 
A  week  or  more  its  miseries  to  qtiell; 
And  all  this  time  we  scarce  could  hold  a  book. 
■   But,  next  week,  make-up  tests  will  get  us 
off  the  hook.

{From  LMU'i  THE  BLUE  AND  GltAY)  .' 

Another  term  has  begun.  For  you  freshmen  it  symbolizes  the 
feeling  of  belonging;  now  you  are.  a  part  of  things.  The  experience 
of  the  hardest  quarter  in  your  school  life  is  behind  you.  You  have 
learned  how  to  study,  when  to  study,  which  teachers  require  con- 
sistent, preparation,  which  ones  do  not;  and  perhaps  you  have  even 
acquired  the  really  treasured  talent  on  the  campus — the  ability  to 
get  by. 

By  this  I  mean  the  philosophy  to  get  out  of  any  excessive  study 
and  the  endeavor  to  literally  strike  from  our  English  language  the 
'  word  "WORK."  Students  of  today  seem  to  be  of  the  general  opinion 
that  work  is  merely  a  means  of  securing  leisure,  that  we  work  in 
ohier  to  be  released  from  work.  That  attitude  is  fatal  to  creative 
endeavor  and  progressive  life.  ' 

Perhaps  you  wish  to  disagree.  You  think  that  college  students 
have  enough  to  do  without  extra  concentration  on  work.  The  odd 
thing  about  work  is  that  the  more  you  accomplish,  the  more  time 
you  have  for  other  things.  Proof  of  this  statement  can  be  evidenced 
by  a  comparison  of  the  relative  grades  of  students  who  work  for  a 
portion  of  their  tuition  and  those  who  do  not.  Almost  consistently, 
,  the  work  students  come  through  with  considerably  higher  grades. 
The  explanation  for  this  must  lie  in  the  fact  that  work  students  have 
learned  to  value  leisure  time:  they  have  learned  to  make  their  time 
COUNT  for  them  and  not  against  them. 

However,  work  is  not  the  whole  diet  of  a  well-rounded  individ- 
ual. Along  with  work  the  smart  student  blends  enough  extra  cur- 
ricular  activities  to  give  him  variety.  In  selecting  these  activities 
he  singles  out  the  one  which  represents  his  major  interest  and  pur- 
sues it  more  diligently. 

Mr.  Frederick  H.  Ecker.  Honorary  Chairman  of  the  Metropolitan 
Life  Insurance  Company,  presents  his  opinion  of  work  In  the  fol- 
lowing words:  'Self-fulfillment  is  not  achieved  In  leisure.  It  comes 
of  fluffeVlng,  toil,  discipline— workl  * 

,  /"ltalent?i  Ability ?a35tgse  ar^u^bnost  fboai^q- the  po)fif^  [Vf orJc 
Is  the  principal  factor.  We  moke  our  talent,  ability,  even  genius, 
through  discipline  and  endless  work.  No  philosophy  of  do-as-you- 
please  leisure,  of  loafing  and  Inviting  the  soul,  can  outwit  the  neces- 
ilty  of  work  as  the  forerunner  of  harvest  and  the  fulfillment  of  aelf."

|Has  Been  Added 

In  case  any  of  you  Btudenta 
[have  not  paid  a  visit  to  the  wash- 
room lately,  something  new  has 
been  added  and  what's  more 
something  new  is  yet  to  be  added. 
"Hie  Junior  Class  selected  as  their 
project  last  year  the  care  and  re- 
modeling of  the  washroom,  and 
have- done  an  excellent  job  so  far.- 
The  washroom  has,  been  im- 
proved in  many  ways  beginning 
wilh  the  partitioning  off  of  one 
end  of  the  room  with  one  wall 
covered  with  tile.  The  floor  has 
been  redone  with  a  rock  effect, 
and  the  room  has  been  painted 
and  cleaned  thoroughly. 

"Mrs."  Scott  Bartchy  has  also 
reported  to  us  that  a  new  washer 
and  dryer  are  in  the  process  of 
being  ordered  if  the  order  is  not 
Intercepted. 

An  appeal  to  students  has  been 
made  in  order  that  we  may  take 
care  of  our  fine  wash  room  and" 
equipment,  so  if  everyone  will 
cooperate  we  may  be  assured  of 
finer  things  to  come!

'  Winter  is  a  cold  and  horrible  season.  I  am  tired  of  it.  For  many 
long  months  I  have  been  plagued  by  the  bleakness  of  the  dull  clouds. 
The  cold  fingers  of  the  naked  trees  have  stretched  their  gnarled 
fingers  into  the  heavens  for  so  many  days  that  they  seem  to  be  tear- 
ing  at  the*  fragile  clouds,  trying  to  pull  them  to  shreds. 

The  mountains  have  no  golden  tones  to  caress  their  tips,  no, 
nothing  but  cold  dismalness, 

Ihe  grass  has  slept  under  its  blanket  of  leaves  and  the  bitter 
whiteness  of  snow. 

Spring,  where  are  you?  You  are  taking  too  long  to  arrive.  I 
am  impatient.  I  am  weary  of  climbing  the  tower  to  search  for  you 
in  the  field,  in  the  marshland,  by  the  creek,  on  the  trees.  Soon  I  will 
no  longer  care,  and  you  will  come  and  I  shall  scoff  at  you,  too.  Take 
heed,  my  springtime.     My  patience  is  worn.  . 

This  is  the  lament  to  a  season,  but  may  be  the  lament  to  a  life. 
I  am  impatient^  Thi^^  is  your  order,  world,  God.  anyone,  for  1  have

have  it  fulfilled,  and  shall  be  so  occupied  with  demanding  this  de- 
sire that  I  shall  overlook  springtime  coming  upon  her  cloud  of  pink, 
for  I  am  scowling  at  the  greyness,  the  bleakness  of  the  undesirable

for  miracles  of  healing.  One  day,  shortly  after  World  War  II  an

someone  remarked:  "That  silly  man!  Does  he  ihink  God  will  give

The  veteran,  overhearing,  turned  and  replied:  "Of  course  I  do 
not  expect  God  to  giVe  me  back  my  leg.  I  am  going  to  pray  to  God 
to  help  me  live  without  it",

There  is  no  time  in  the  Sput- 
nik Age  for  educational  frills.  The 
times  demand  a  serious  study 
and  an  emphasis  on  the  funda- 
mentals and  essentials  in  all  areas 
of  learning."  » 

This  waS  the  statement  of  Pres- 
ident Dean  E.  Walker  <if  Milligan 
College  as  he  announced  the  ap- 
pointment of  four  Milligan  pro- 
fessors to  the  rank  of  "chairman 
of  the  faculty"  in  four  areas  of 
learning.  The  appointments  grew 
out  of  a  new  organizotion  of 
course  studies  inaugurated  at  Mil' 
ligan  for  the  first  ;time. 

With  the  beginning  of  the  new 
semester.  Dr.  Bryan  Lambert 
serves  os  chairman  of  the  Area 
of  Humane  Studies,  He  will  co- 
ordinate the  courses  offered  by 
the  faculty  in  the  language  and 
literature  of  seven  different  peo- 
ples: English,  German,  French, 
Spanish.  Greek  and  Hebrew. 
Other  courses  under  his  direction 
are  In  music,  philosophy,  fine 
arts,  and  related  studies  of  hu- 
man achievement. 

At  the  same  time  Dr.  Beauford 
Bryant  was  appointed  chairman 
of  the  Area  of  Biblical  Studies. 
Under  his  directio;i,  the  faculty 
offering  courses  in  the  Bible  and 
religion  will  integrate  their  work. 
Iliey  will  also  develop  studies 
showing  the  application  of  truth 
in  this  area  to  that  taught  in  other 
areas  of  learning,  such  as  Greek 
and  Hebrew. 

Dr.  Hughes  Thompson  becomes 
the  chairman  of  the  Area  of  Sci- 
entific Study.  This  includes  such 
fields  as  biology,  physics,  chem- 
istry, and  mathematics.  The  fac- 
ulty teaching  these  subjects  will 
endeavor  to  eliminate  duplica- 
tion of  work.  They  will  use  facts 
and  concepts  common  to  all  these 
courses  to  illustrate  the  unity  of 
scientific  knowledge. -

we're  s  pretty  hardy  crew  after

teaching  courses  in  the  social  sci- 
ences will  compare  syllabi  and 
develop  common  projects  for 
teaching.  They  will  develop  new 
courses  as  need  arises.  They  will 
develop  an  integration  of  learn- 
ing atwut  the  social  order  in  gov- 
erruncnt,  business,  education, 
family  and  similar  human  activi- 
ties. 

All  occupational  and  technical 
courses  are  grouped  into  a  fifth 
classification  known  as  "profes- 
3ional  studies."  Milligan  has  tradi- 
tionally taught  the  necessity  of 
reducing  theoretical  learning  to 
nr&ctlcal  u.^e.  These  courses  in 
this  area  will  draw  upon  the  four 
areas  of  liberal  education  for 
content,  to  show  the  student  the 
irnctical  relationship  br?tween  a 
liberal  education  and  earning  a 
living. 

The  distinctive  feature  of  the 
Milligan  program  is  that  .the 
courses  of  study  in  liberal  educa- 
tion ore  grouped  into  four  arena 
of  instruction  of  which  Biblical 
studies  is  one.  It  permit*  the  de- 
velopment of  experimental  meth- 
ods in  teaching. 

Dean  Guy  Oakes,  working 
closely  with  President  Walker, 
will  direct  the  entire  program. 

In  evaluating  the  program. 
President  Walker  said,  "In  addi- 
tion to  his  studies  in  his  major 
and  minor  fields,  ,the  student  has 
ready  access  to  other  studies 
within  the  area  of  instruction. 
Further,  the  relationship  existing 
within  alt  courses  in  the  area 
of  instruction  are  made  readily 
available  to  the  student. 

"Counselling  of  the  student  is 
improved.  In  addition  to  the  day- 
by-day  contact  with  his  course 
advisor,  the  student  has  contacts 
ith  all  other  professors  who  are 
teaching  within  the  area  and 
particularly  the  scholar  who  a. 
the  chairman  of, the  field." 

Ilie  program  is  undertaken  in 
reoperation  with  the  Council  for 
the  Advancement  of  Small  Col- 
leges with  its  effort  "to  advance 
nuality  education,"  It  .grew  out 
of  the  MiUigan  Workshop  of 
CASC  held  this  past  summer  ani 
financed  by  the  Fund  for  the  Aq- 
vancement  of  Education,  a'  sub- 
sidiary of  the  Ford   Foundation.

Buffs  Take  Two  Basketball  Victories  From  ETSC 

By  GENE  GARLICHS 

This  ycnr'a  basketball  season  for  the  Milligan  Buffaloes  has  bc-cn 
a  great  success  in  as  much  'as  thoy  hove  beaten  the  ao-callcd  Invin- 
cible ETSC  Buccaneers  twice,  55-&1  and  80-76.  llie  Buffs  ended  a 
IB-game  losing  streak  to  ETSC  in  the  first  game  with  State  on  the 
letter's  home  court.  A  large  bonfire  and  rumors  of  no  school  were 
echoed  by  Milligan  students  after  the  victory. 

The  game  was  played  by  Milligan  under  lidverse  conditions; 
"Satch"  Smith  was  out  with  a  bad  ankle,  and  already  having  two 
bad  defeaU  made  the  odds  favor  ETSC.  Milligan  overcame  these 
handicaps  and  played  a  fabulous  game,  keeping  the  score  nip  and 
tuck  in  the  first  half  and  never  falling  behind  r..  the  second. 

Milligan  played  most  of  the  entire  game  with  four  freshmen 
who,  during  the  course  of  the  game,  displayed  their  talents  quite 
well.  Del  Harris,  a  Junior,  played  most  of  the  game  as  the  fifth 
map  and  was  the  leading  rebounder  for  Milligan.  Carrol  Buck  and 
Bobby  Sams  were  outstanding  at  the  guard  slots  handling  the  ball 
and  setting  up  the  plays  with  expert  efficiency.  Bob  Burton  was 
great  at  the  forward  position,  Harris  playing  the  other.  Charles 
Tester  at  center  kept  the  Buffs  in  the  game  by  his  efforts  under  the 
boards.  Burton  and  Harris  were  high  point  men  with  15  points,  with 
Buck  right  behind  with  14  points. 

The  first  game  can  be  summed  up  by  saying  that  Milligan  out- 
played Stale  throughout  the  entire  game.  Cool  defense  with  a 
steady  and  sure  offense  sparked  by  a  determined  will  to  win  were 
the  main  influencing  factors  in  Milligan's  victor>'. 

The  second  meeting  of  the  two  rivals  were  played  in  Cheek 
gymnasium  where  an  overflowing  crowd  attended.  Tension  was 
high  on  the  campus  and  much  excitement  prevailed  throughout  the 
game. 

MilHgan  was  behind  after  the  first  ten  minutes  of  the  game  find 
trailed  till  the  last  four  minutes  of  the  game.  ITicn  Milligan  came 
to  life  and  their  offense  clicked  with  expert  precision  and  their  de- 
fense held.  ' 

Junior  guard,  Roger  Sizemore.  along  with  Satch  Smith,  senidr 
forward,  bagged  20  points  with  Harris  tallying  18  points.  Charlie 
Tester,  frosh  center,  once  again  was  in  great  form  and  led  the  Buffs 
in  rebounds.  Milligan  out  rebounded  ETSC  52-50  and  sported  a  44^"' 
shooting  average;  these  both  paid  off  in  the  end  with  a  Milligan 
victory  80-76.  ,^.    ■     -, 

This  second  encounter  was  faster  and  not  so  closely  played  as 
the  firs,!,  but  both  were  packed  with  keen  excitement  and  enjoy-' 
ment  for  Milligan.  '  '' 

Sizemore  brought  the  Buffs  back  into  the  contest  by  a  display 
of  the  action  he  displayed  last  year  at  the  guard  position. 

Milligan's  team  this  year  got  started  off  in  a  bad  way,  but  since 
Christmas  the  Buffs  have  shown  definite  improvement.  Sizemore  re- 
turning to  hia  old  form,  Smith  back  in  the  lineup,  and  great  playing 
by  the  new  freshman  members,  along  with  tremendous  reserve 
strength,  has  helped  the  Buffs  on  their  road  to  recovery. 

This  year's  basketball  team  has  accomplished  much  for  Milli- 
gan by  the  two  defeats  over  the  ETSC  quintet.  It  has  raised  the 
school  spirit  greatly,  Along  with  proving  that  the  small  college  still 
does  have  a  place  in  basketball  along  with  larger  schools  which 
have  athletic  scholarships. 

Having  been  aslied  my  personal  opinion  for  the  team  next  year, 
I  do  not  wish  to  comment.  However,  I  will  say  that  we  will  lose 
only'one  player  and  next  year  should  be  th§  year  for  a  really  vic- 
torious season.  Whether  wc  will  or  not  will  remain  to  be  seen,  but 
as  far  as  wc  arc  concerned  we  hope  so  and  will  be  counting  on  it. 

ROUND  BALL  ROUND-UP...     '      : 

By  PHIL  WORRELL  ■■.-.': 

The  Milligan  College  Buffaloes  started  the  season  slowly  by 
dropping  the  opener  to  arch  rival  Tusculum  College  by  a  score  *of 
64-47.  The  Buffaloes  were  hampered  by  unexperienced  and  poor 
shooting,  hitting  only  an  anemic  25'!''  of  its  shots  from  the  field. 
The  S.M-AvC.'foo-iwas  able  to  get  only  two  men  in  double  scoring 
figures,  Co-captain  "Sonny"  Smith  getting  20  and  23  rebounds  and 
Del  Harris  hitting  for  12  points.  Ralph  Merletto  and  Joe  D'auria  led 
Tusculum  scoring  with  18  and  17  points  respectively. 

Playing  without  Co-captains  "Sonny"  Smith  who  was  injured 
early  in  the  game,  and  Del  Harris  who  was  not  able  to  be  on  cam- 
pus for  the  game.  Coach  Walker's  hustlin  "Buffs"  dropped  their  sec- 
ond game  to  V.S.A.C.  opponent  Bethel  by  a  112-82  score.  Charley 
Moyo  led  the  opponents  with  a  tremendous  4l-point  effort,  Milligan 
was  led  in  scoring  by  freshman  Bob  Burton  and  Carroll  Buck  gett- 
ing 19  and  14  points  respectively. 

The  young  Milligan  poMege  "Buffs,"  still  playing  without  the 
services  of  star  forward  "Sonny"  Smith,  traveled  to  Athens,  Tennes- 
see, lo  drop  a  close  gome  to  Tennessee  Wcsleyan  by  a  score  of  66-58. 
Outrcboundcd  4p-21  the  "Buffs"  were  never  out  of  the  game  until 
the  final  buzzer!  Del  Harris,  high-scoring  forward,  led  the  "Buffs" 
with  21  poinds.  Farmer  was  high  for  the  "Bulldogs."  collecting  17 
points. 

A  tremendous  34-point  output  by  star  forward  Del  Harris  was 
not  cnoujUi  as  the  Milligan  Buffaloes  dropped  their  fourth  game  of 
the  season  to  q  strong  Belmont  quintet  by  a  score  of  86.73; 

Harris  hit  10  shots  from  the  field  and  14  of  14  fcce  tosses.  Cliff 
McClcndon  and  Jerry  Vradcnburg  led  the. V.S.A.C.  foes  with  33  and

over-powered  Team  4  to  maintain 
their  perfect  record,  only  to  be 
brought  down  in  the  final  game 
by  Team  1,  seeking  their  second 
victory  in  five  attempts,  in  an 
overtime.  However,  this  mighty 
Team  3  still  came  out  on  top,

25  points  respectively.  Belmont 
hit  40,7%  from  the  field.  The 
"Buffs"  could  manage  only  a 
meager  28.9'?".  ] 

Traveling  to  Barbourville,  Ken- 
tucky, to  face  a  strong  Union  I 
College  quintet,  the  "Buffs"  lost] 
their  fifth  game  of  the  season  by 
a  81-67  score.  The  game  was 
much  closer  than  the  final  score 
indicated.  Still  playing  without 
ace  rebounder  "Sonny"  Smith, 
Coach  Walker  again  used  three 
freshmen  In  his  starting  lineup. 
Del  Harris  with  24  and  Bobby 
Sams  with  10  poirits  led  the 
"Buffs,"  Art  Lanberg  led  the 
S.M.A  C.  foe  with  20  points. 

In  the  last  game  before  Christ- 
mas vacation  the  "Buffs"  were 
edged  by  a  scrappy  Carson  New- 
man "Eagles"  quintet  72-70.  Del 
Harris  again  led  the  "Buffs"  with 
19  points  followed  closely  by 
frosh  Bobby  Sams  with  15  points 
and  Charlie  Tester  with  10  points. 
Pete  Rooch  led  the  invading 
S,M.A  C,  team  with  17  points.  The 
"Buffs"  hit  23:6%  and  the  "Eagles" 
hit  33.7"%.  The  igame  was  tied  12 
times.  "Sonny"  Smith  returned  to 
action  for  the  first  time  since 
spraining  an  ankle  in  the  second 
game  of  the  season  and  led  the  re- 
bounding department  with  17 
points.  The  "BUffs"  closed  the 
pre-vocation  position  of  the  sea- 
son with  a  1-fl  record. 

The  "Buffs"  started  the  1958 
portion  of  the  season  off  with  & 
bang  with  a  79-59  Vtctor>*  over 
Tusculum  on  the  opponents'  home 
court.  Revenging  an  earlier  sea- 
son loss  to  the  "Pioneers,"  the 
"Buffs"  sunk  50,8%  of  their  shots. 


The  Milligan  College  "B"  bas- 
ketball team  recently  completed 
a  successful  season  under  the  tu- 
toring of  coaches  Del  Harris  and 
Sonny  Smith.  They  finished  the 
season  with  a  record  of  six  wins 
and  four  losses.  Much  of  the 
credit  for  the  team  belongs  to 
their  coaches  -who  worked  with 
them  all  season,  molding  them 
into  an  interesting  and  exciting 
team  to  watch. 

In  the  season's  opener,  they 
topped  Erwin  High  School  after 
trailing  through  the  entire  game 
and  just  pulling  it  out  in  the  final 
thirty  seconds  to  win  64-62.  The 
second  game  of  thQ  season  was 
played  against  Tusculum  College 
"B"  team  and  proved  to  be  a. 
fairly  easy  victory  for  the  Mil- 
ligan men.  The  team's  first  defeat 
came  at  the  hands  of  Cloudland 
High  School  whose  tight  defense 
checked  the  Milligan  offense 
throughout  '  tHe  contest.  Two 
games  with  Steed  College  pro- 
vided Milligan  with  two  easy  vic- 
tories as  the  Tech  boys  were  un- 
organized and  inexperienced,  In 
the  second  Tusculum  game,  play- 
ed on  the  opponent's  floor,  the 
decision, was  reversed  and  Mil- 
ligan was  upset  in  a  heartbreaker. 
In  four  games  against  independ- 
ent teams  Milligan  won  two  and 
lost  two.  They  were  defeated  by 
Edens  Coal  Company,  split  with 


Earl's  All-Stars,  and  won  the  sea- 
son's final  against  the  Cheroke« 
A.  A. 

The  team  suffered  from  lack  of 
height,  but  offset  it  with  good 
ball  handling  and  lots  of  hustle. 
The  big  men  up  front  for  the 
team  were:  Bob  Dudley,  Jim 
Burleson,  Joe  Harris,  Bill  Smith, 
John  Wiggins,  Kyle  Wallace, 
David  "Tiger"  Townsend.  and 
Gordon  Foster.  The  guards  for 
the  fast-moving  club  were:  Phil 
Worrell,  Max  Swinford.  Don 
Alexander,  Dave  Poorman,  Don 
"SHck"  Sutherland,  Guy  Brown, 
and  Tod  Eaton.  These  boys, 
headed  by  their  coaches,  enjoyed 
a  good  season  and  are  now  look- 
ing forward  to  next  year  when 
many  will  try  out  for  varsity 
positions. 


Two  Navy  veterans  enrolled  in 
college  devised  a  system  to  help 
each  other  in  a  college  quiz.  When 
one  of  us  came  to  a  tough  ques- 
tion, he'd  tap  out  in  code  with 
his  pencil  the  number  of  the  ques- 
tion, the  other  would  casually 
tap  back  the  answer. 

It  was  working  fine  until  the 
end  of  the  test  period,  when  w« 
were  startled  to  hear  the  profes- 
sor tap  out  on  his  desk:  "I  was 
in  the  Navy,  too.  You  both  just 
flunked." 


"Sonny"  Smith  returned  full 
Strength  to  the  lineup  and  turn- 
ed in  a  29-point  and  five  rebound- 
ing performance.  Smith  was  fol- 
lowed in  scoring  by  his  Co- 
captain  and  fonvard  teammate 
Del  Harris  with  18  points.  Roger 
Sizemore  turned  in  a  commend- 
able job  as  guard  with  17  points. 
Ralph  Merlateo  again  led  the 
"Pioneers"  with  19  points. 

Playing  very  well  against  a 
strong  L.M.U.  qujntct,'  and  again 
playing  with  "Sonny"  Smith,  the 
"Buffs"  were  outlasted  by  a  91- 
77  score.  The  "Buffs"  had  four 
men  in  double  figures.  Del  Harris 
led  with  26  followed  by  Carroll 
Buck  with  20,  Roger  Sizemore 
with  11  and  Bobby  Samms  with 
10.  Webb  tossed  in  22  and  Lundy 
21  for  the  visitors.- 

The  fighting  "Buffs"  edged  the 
Emcr>'  and  Henry  "Wasps"  90-89 
in  an  overtime  thriller,  on  their 
second  S.M.A. C.  victorj*  against 
four  losses,  and  their  third  vic- 
tory of  the  season  against  7  losses. 
The  closely  contested  battle  was 
tied  eight  timed  in  nil.  The  score 
was  knotted  at  83  all  at  the  final 
buzzer,  and  Milligan  .  outscored 
the  '"Wasps"  7-6  in  the  Overtime. 
Roger  Sizemore  Ipd   the  "Buffs" 


with  22  followed  by  Del  Harris 
with  18,  Carroll  Buck  and  Bob 
Benton  with  15,  Lewis  led  the 
losers  with  25,  The  "Buffs"  hit 
44,1  from  the  field,  the  "Wasps" 
hit  48.1%. 

Tennessee  Wesleyan  defeated 
the  "Buffs"  for  the  second  time 
of  the  season,  77-65.  Del  Harris 
hit  17  points  and  pulled  down  16 
rebounds  to  spark  the  Milligan 
performance,  followed  "by  "Son- 
ny" with  14  points  and  12  re- 
bounds. Pot  Murphy  added  10 
points  for  the  losers.  Milligan  hit 
34.2%  of  its  shots  while  Wesle- 
yan got  43.2'^,  Knight  led  the 
winners  with  19  followed  by  Car* 
roll  with  18. 

Revenging  an  earlier  loss  the 
''Buffs"  toppled  the  Union,  Ken- 
tucky, quintet  84-76.  Paced  by 
Co-captains  "Sonny"  Smith  and 
Del  Harris  who  had  23  and  20 
points  respectively,  the  "Buffs" 
hit  a  nifty  43. B"'.  Union  also  shot 
well  hitting  42.7%;  Pat  Murphy 
gathered  1 1  points  for  the  victors. 
Conley  Morcuna  and  Bud  Lan- 
berg led  the  losers  with  19  and 
15  respectively.  This  brought  the 
Bufrs  season  record  "  to  5  vic- 
tories and  8  losses  anc]  4-2  in  the

Selective  Service  College  Test  To 
Be  Offered  Men  Students  May  1 


The  Selective  Service  College 
Qualification  Tesl  wilf  be  offered 
to  college  men  May  1,  1950,  Gen- 
eral Lewis  B.  Hershey,  Director  of 
Selective  Service,  announced  to- 
day. The  May  1  test  will  be  the 
only  test  offered  for  the  1057-58 
school  year,  the  national  director 
emphasized. 

Scores  made  on  the  test  are 
used  by  local  boards  as  one 
guide  in  considering'  requests  for 
deferemenf  from  military  service' 
to  continue  studios. 

Application  cards  and  instruc- 
tional materials  may  be  obtained 
from  Selective  Service  local 
boards  after  Monday,  March  10. 
Men  planning  to  take  the  test 
were  urged  by  General  Hershey 
to  make  early  application  at  the 
nearest  local  board  office  for  full- 
er information  and  necessary 
forms  and  materials. 

Either  the  score  made  on  the 
lest  or  class  standing  may  be  used 
by  local  boards  as  guides  in  con- 
sidering applications  for  student 
deferments.  Thousands  T)f  stu- 
dents have  been  deferred  since 
the>testing  program  ,  was   begun

boards,  is  important  to  both  the 
individual   and   the   Nation.   The 


Selective  Service  System  long  has 
been  aware  of  the  need  to  add  to 
our  trained  manpower  in  all 
fields,   and   has   done   something 

bout  it.  the  General  added, 
through  such  programs  as  that  for 
student  deferments  in  which  the 
est  score  plays  a  part. 

,  In  previous  years,  two  regular 
and  one  make-up  tests  have  been 
given.  But  with  fewer  men  apply- 
ing to  take  the  test,  i  the  draft 
'ihief  announced  last  summer  that 
only  one  test  would  be  offered 
this  school  year. 

Many  studehts  are  able  to  com- 
DletQ  undergraduate  schooling  be- 
fore reaching  an  age  when  induc- 
tion is  imminent,  the  national  di- 
rector said  in  announcing  the  re- 
liuced  program.  Draft  calls  are 
presently  for  men  over  the  age 
of  22,  he  pointed  out.  In  addition, 
large  numbers  of  college  men  are 
not  liable  for  induction  because 
they  are  in  ROTC  or  are  veterans, 

Stressing  the  fact  that  no  make- 
up test  will  be  available,  the  na- 
tional director  \emphasized  that 
men  wishing  tp  "take  '  the  test 
must  submitv,ii958'  :-at)pIication

Ting  Champie     t 
Guest  Speaker  In 
IJ[9pwood  Series 

Dr.  Ting  Champie.  minister  at 
the  University  "Christian  ChurcVi 
.n  Enid,  Oklahoma,  held  a  series 
of  five  meetings  at  "Hopwood 
Christian  Church  from  '  February 
17-22. 

His  First  message  explained 
what  worship  is  and  prepared  the 
way  for  the  following  meetings. 

THiesday  night  his  topic  was 
"Christian  Commercials,"  In  this 
sermon  the  'point  was  brought 
but  that  each  of  us  is  a  living 
advertisement  of  a  Christian  and 
we  should  conduct  ourselves  ac- 
cordingly. 

Dr.  .  Chample'8  next  message^ 
was  "It  Is  Easy  To  Be  A  Chris-' 
tian."'He  said  that  is  is  easy 'to 
be  a  Christian  because  it  is  easier 
to  tell  the  truth  than  to  lie;  easi- 
er to  love  than  to  hate;  and  that 
if  you'll  think  through  a  tempta- 
tion, you  will  see  that  it  is  not 
the  logical  .or  reasonable  thing' "io 
do. 

-Thursday  night  he  discussed  the 
subject  "I  Am  Going  To  Die!" 
About  this  he  said  that  most  r«o- 
ple  think  of  death  as  happening 
to  everybody  else  but  not  them. 
But  people  shouldn't  be  afraid  ot 
death,  because  it  is  like  going 
to -ted  after  a  busy  day,  and  liie 
an  escalator  where  people  get  '^ 
at  (he  different  levels  or  ages. 

"Decisive  Dedication"  was  his 
final  sermon  of  the  series.  The 
main  points  of  this  sermon  wef« 
brought  out  in  his  definition  "of 
a  Christian.  A  Christian  is  a  per- 
son who  publicly  accepts  Christ 
as  his  Saviour,  Lord,  and  Victor;

School  Spirit ... 

School  spirit  is  a  necessary  asset  to  every  schiool 
or  college,  and  Milligan  College  has  showp  full  well 
the  extent  'of  its  school  spirit  during  the  basketball 
season  this  year. 

The  first  game  introduced  to  the  student  body 
the  new  buffalo  head  and,  to  the  freshman,  the  tra- 
ditional spirit  behind  the  buffalo  head.  AU  the  games 
thereafter  were  well  attended,  and  the  cheering  sec- 
tion reached  a  new  goal  as  they  'out  cheered  the 
E.T.S.C.  cheering  section  in  the  first  Milligan-E.T.S.C. 
game  of  the  year.  The  small  Milligan  section  seemed 
to  make  the  roof  of  the  huge  gymnasium  shake.  The 
events  following  the  game  showed  the  appreciation 
to  the  coach  and  team. 

Spirit; and  enthusiasm  among  the  student  body 
grew  tmtil  time  brought  about  the  second  Milligan- 
E.T.S.C.  game  at  MilligaitsCollege.     ' 

The  preceding  events  before  the  game  stirred 
much  interest  among  the  students  and  brought  a  "full 
house''  out  for  the  game.  The  happiness  and  joyful- 
ness  was  well  expressed  in  their  constant  cheering  as 
the  Milligan  team  came  out  on  top  for  the  second  time 
against  the  E.T.S.C.  team.  Even  the  players  remarked 
that  the  Cheek  Gynmasium  was  never  so  noisy  in 
other  ^ames. 

Several  carloads  of  students  have  followed  the 
team  to  many  of  the  away  games  and  have  made  a 
very  successful  attempt  in  cheering  for  their  team. 
The  cheerleaders  have  followed  to  all  but  the  Union 
game  at  Barbourville,  Kentucky,  and  the  road  trip 
game^  to  Austin  Peay  and  Bethel. 

After  losing  the  away  game  to  Carson-Newman, 
one  Carson-Newman  student  made  the  remark, 
"You'd  think, they  were  winning  by  the  spirit  that 
they  had." 

Many  such  comments  have  been  made  concern- 
ing our  cheering  section,  and  I  believe  every  student 
would  readily  agree  that  it  is  not  an  effort  but  a  pleas- 
ure to  cheer  for  the  Milligan  College  Bujjaloes  of 
1957-58.

Believe  me,  if  all  those  adhering  young  charms 

Which  I  view  with  admiring  dismay,  ' 

Are  going  to  rub  off  on  the  shoulders  ahd  arms 

Of  this  suit  which  was  cleaned  just  today, 
Thou  wilt  still  be  adored  with  my  usual  zeal, 

My  sweetheart,  my  loved  one,  my  own;  / 
But  I'll  sternly  repress  the  emotions  I  feel      ■.     "  ■     " 

And  love  you,  but  leave  you  alone.  .'.."*    '  ''■ 

It  is  not  that  thy  beauty  is  any  the  less,        ';'  '     ,;  ":' 

Nor  thy  cheeks  unaccustomedly  gay;  '''\  -'", 

They  are  lovely  indeed,  as  I  gladly  confess,      '     "   '*' 

And  I  think  I  should  leave  them  that  way. 
For  the  bloom  of  your  youth  isn't  on  very  tight. 

And  .the  powder  rubs  off  of  your  nose. 
So  my  love  is  platonic,  my  dear,  for  tonight, 

Since  these  are  my  very  best  clothes.

"Always,"  and  "If  I  Loved  You." 

Teeter  Robinson,  backed  by  the 
Harmonettes,  gave  a  selection, 
"Don't  Leave  Me  Now." 

The  Collegiates,  Kitty  Kraft, 
Joanne  Hmes,  and  Betty  Canant. 
sang  for  us  "Wish  I  Was,"  and 
"Blue  Moon."  They  teamed  up 
with  Teeter  Robinson,  Phil  Wor- 
rell, and  Jim  Lura  to  bring  us' the 
popular  "Sugartime."  They  were 
accompanied  by  Harriet  Schell.

On  Monday.  February  17.  the 
Student  Council  brought  to  the 
students  n  program  presented  by 
John  B.  Talent  of  East  Tennessee 
State  College.  Mr.  Talent  brought 
us  a  program  of  folk  songs,  his 
hobby.  With  the  accompaniment 
of  guitar,  he  presented  William 
Shakespeare's,  'Turtle  Dove."  and 
from  the  Scandinavian  countries, 
"I  Gave  My  Love."  and  a  "Fam- 
ily Tragedy."  He  sang  for  ,  us 
"Lord  Rudolph,"  the  name  of 
which  Sir  Walter  Scott  changed 
to  "Lord  Randal."  Some  of  the 
other  selections  were  "The  Sow 
Took  the  Measles  and  Died  in  the 
Spring,"  "The  Weary  Pilgrim," 
"The  Wayfaring  Stranger,"  "The 
Minstrel  Song,"  and  "Blue  Tail 
Fly." 


Detroit*  Cracks 
Down  On  Failures 

DETROIT,  Mich.  (LP.)—  Stu- 
dents who  begin  school  at  the 
University  of  Detroit  this  month 
will  find  a  failing  mark  much 
more  damaging  and  unforgiv- 
able than  previously.  A  new  rul- 
ing made  public  here  by  the  Rev. 
Hugh  Smith.  "S.  J.,  vice-presi- 
dent, will  replace  the  old  average 
system.  The  cumulative  average 
will  replace  the  previous  system 
in  which  an  F  waa  forgotten  once 
a  course  had  been  repeated. 

One  of  the  main  reasons  for  the 
change,  according  to  Fr.  Smith, 
is  that  students  transferring  to 
other  schools,  especially  in-  medi- 
cine, law  or  dental,  .  will  now 
meet  the  requirements  of  these 
schools,  which  use  this  cumula- 
tive system  for  computing  aver- 
ages. 

It  also  prevents  dropping  of 
bad  grades  when  transferring 
colleges  within  the  University. 
It  presents  a  problem  for  stu- 
dents switching  degrees  within 
colleges  and  also  changing  from 
one  college  to  another.  The  new 
system  is  not  retroactive.  It  will 
be  in  effect  for  freshmen  begin- 
ning this  fall.  They,  will  have  to 
get  an  A  to  replace  an  F  in  or- 
der to  glean  a  C  for  the  course. 

Fr.  Smith  also  disclosed  a 
clamping  down  on  students  trans- 
ferring from  other  schools.  He 
noted  that  any  student  not  in 
good  standing  will  be  refused  ad- 
mittance. ITiis  policy  has  not 
been  followed  too  rigidly  in  the 
past. 

A  revamping  and  accentuating 
of  the  counseling  services  for 
new  students  also  was  revealed, 
thereby  assuring  them  of  a  choice 
of    curriculum     towEuds     which

THE.  STAMPEDE- 


b'nu,-' 


GLIJB 

NE  W  S 


'li'-vHi:^: 


THE  PHYSICAL  EDUCATION  CLUB  sponsored  a  bas- 
ketball game  between  the  boys  and  girls.  These  two  teams 
were  chosen  by  their  teammates  from  students  who  ^have 
played  intramural  basketball.  The  game  was  played  by  girls' 
rules,  and  was  entitled  "Shirts  vs.  Skins."  This  was  a  money- 
making  project  for  the  club. 

— ARGIE  LEE  PAYNE,  Reporter. 


From  the  amount  of  news  turned  in  by  the  club  reporters, 
it  is  evident  that  nothing'goes  on  in  the  meetings  of  such 
clubs  as  the  Dramatics,  Veteran's,  F.T.A.,  Pre-Med,  Christian 
Service,  Radio-T.  V.,  Commerce,  Social  Science,  and  Varsity 
Voices.  If  this  is  not  true,  why  not  correct  it  by  letting  the 
STAMPEDE  staff  in  on  your  activities. 


LISAS  LORE 

To  borrow  a  phrase,  "Hello,  Dear  Hearts!"  We're  holding 
our  breaths  that  this  preview  of  spring  will  last  at  least 
until  the  paper  comes  out — not  that  it  contains  anything 
special  about  spring,  it's  ju^t  that  we  are  enjoying  the  beau- 
tiful weather  so  much. 

Sutton's  population .  keeps  increasing,  then  decreasing; 
we  find  it-hard  to  keep  an  accurate  count  when  Argie  Lee 
brings  home  things  like  horses'  heads  and,  even  more  in- 
teresting, a  group  of  cocoons  which,  after  she  performed  a 
Caesarean  operation,  disgorged  numerous  nondescript  little 
bugs.  It  was  a  small,  but  interested,  group  of  girls  who  hov' 
ered  over  the  insects  till  the  wee  jiours  of  the  mom  watch' 
ing  their  fascinating  metamorphoses  into  "hay  flies."  The 
decrease  in  population?  Oh,  that  comes  about  when  Jan  Shaf- 
fer gets  home  and  orders  them  out  of  the  room. 

Our  winter-weather  casualties  are  recovering  nicely. 
Noma  is  feeling  fine  but,  of  course,  must  have  a  good  bit  of 
rest.  Margaret  Love  will  be  carrying  that  cast  around  as  a 
souvenir  for  a  while  yet,  but  we  notice  it  doesn't  seem  to 

bother  her.     "^  /  -  ,.      .■ 

While  everyone  around  you  tries  to  impress  upon  you 
the  value  of  work,  take  heed  and  don't  overdo  it!  June  Love 
scrubbed  her  floor  too  energetically  and  ended  up  flat  on 
her  back.  ' 

Sensing  that  Hardin  was  livelier  than  usual  lately,  we 
launched  a  full-scale  investigation.  The  committee  reports 
that  this  increased  activity  centered  around  Betty  Canant's 
sister  who  was  herq.  for  a  visit — a  real  cute  gal,  at  that! 

That  horde  of  people  who  recently  surrounded  the  bul- 
letin board  were  scanning  the  honor  rolls  from  first  semes- 
ter. We  want  to  extend  every  special  congratulations  to  our 
three  smarties — Ethlyn,  Sharon,  and  Sylvia.     - 

Must  be  nice  when  people  can  take  off  for  a  weekend 
and  go  home.  How  about  it.  Bob  Rash? 

Noma  has  moved  to  the  distant  land  of;  Far-Wing-of- 
Thlrd-Floor  end,  while  it  is  ideal  for  study.  It  is  also  a  little 
lonesome.  We  know  it  is  much  less  so  (the  "so"  meaning  both 
lonesome  and  ideal  for  study)  since  Winnie  and  Euphon  are 
home  again.  Winnie,  I'/n  sure  you  found  that  Lue'and  Shirley 
were  very  sedate  hostesses. 

Why  is  it  we  never  have  any  news  from  the  fellas?  Don't 
they  do  anything  printable?  ''''-■.     ■- ■- 

Back  to  visitors  again,  the  stranger  with  Joanne  Swin- 
ford  was  evidently  The  One,  You  glow  very  becomingly,  Jo- 
anne. 

If  our  recent  Alumni  visitors  had  managed  to  be  here  at 
the  same  time,  we  could  have  proclaimed  a  miniature  Found- 
er's Day.  Because  snow  closed  their  school  for  a  week  (and 
their  grief  was  apparent).  Hope  Irvin,  Shirley  Holthouser, 
and  Lue  Davis  spent  several  days  with  us;  and  Jane  Carpen- 
ter soon  joined  them  here.  Mary  Alice  Allen  made  one  of  her 
flying  visits,  staying  only  long  enough  to  eat  lunch  and  to 
cetrelve  a  pair  of  her  earrings  left  from  the  last  flying  visit. 
Pat  Bishop  stayed  just  a  little  bit  longer;  at  least  she  stayed 
long  enough  to  learn  to  use  Sutton's  inter-com  systenl.  We 
think  every  girl  got  her  own  personal  call.  ,' 

We  were  overjoyed  a  few  weeks  ago  to  dash  madly  into 
Lhe  ad  building  and  finc^  Mr.  Fairbanks — red  tie,  question 
nark,  and  all — standing  in  the  lobby  greeting  everybody. 
Seemed  just  like  old  times!  And  just  like  times  to  come,  we 
lope. 

Enough  of  this;  back  to  studies.  See  you  next  issue,      i

Smith  And  Harris 
Make  All-Tourhey 
Teams  Recently 

"Sonny"  Smith,  outstanding 
player  for  the  "Buffs,"  was 
named  to  the  Volunteer  State 
Athletic  Tournament  team  for 
1057-98.  He  was  given  this  honor 
after  displaying  in  the  game  at 
Nashville  the  spirit  and  ability 
that  has  made  him  so  valuable 
to  the  team  throughout  the  sea- 
son. To  a  fellow  like  Sonny,  the 
honor  was  indeed  in  order.  He 
will  be  greatly  missed  by  all  of 
us  at  MJlligpn  after  his  gradua* 
tion  in  June.     •  * 

Smith  and  Delmer  Harris,  other 
outstanding  player  and  co-cap- 
tain of  the  "Buffs,"  were  both 
named  to  the  Smoky  Mountain 
Athletic  Conference  tournament 
team.  These  fellows  gained  this 
honor  by  their  ability  and  ac- 
curate shooting  in  the  two  games 
that  Milligan  played  in  the  tour- 
ney. This  was  the  second  year 
that  Harris  was  given  this  honor. 
Harris  made  VSAC  tournament 
team  last  year  also.  Congratula- 
tions, boys,  and  best  of  luck  to 
you  next  year.

You  Name  It,., I  Can^t 

Friends,  Romans,  hipsters,  ■ ' 

Let  me  clue  you  in; 

I  come  to  put  down  Caesar,  not  to  'groove  him. 

The  squares  kicks  some  cats  are  on  the  stay  with  them; 

The  hip  bits,  like,  go  down  under: 

So  let  it  lay  with  Caesar.    The  cool  Brutus 

Gave  you  the  message  Caesar  had  big  eyes; 

If  that's  the  sound,  someone's  copping  a  plea,  » 

And,  like,  old  Caesar  really  set  them. straight 

Here,  copacefic  with  Brutus  and  the  studs, — 

For  Brutus  is  a  real  cool  cat; 

So  are  they  all,  all  cool  cats, — 

Come  I  to  make  this  gig  at  Caesar's  lay  down.      . 

He  was  my  boy,  the  most  and  real  gone  to  me; 

But,  like.  Brutus  pegs  him, as  having  big  eyes; 

And  old  Brutus  is  a  real  cool  cat.  , 

He  copped  a  lot  of  swinging  heads  for  home, 

Which  put  us  way  out  with  that  loot; 

Does'  this  give  Caesar  big  eyes? 

When  the  square  cats  bawled,  Caesar  flipped;  , 

Big  eyes  should  be  made  of  more  solid  megillah; 

Yet  Brutus  pegs  him  as  having  big  eyes; 

And  Brutus  is  a  real  cool  cat. 

You  all  dug  that  bit  at  the  Lupercal  scene 

Three  times  I  bugged  him  with  the  King's  lid, 

And  three  times  he  hung  me  up;  was  this  big  eyes? 

Yet  Brutus  pegs  him  with  big  eyes;  ' 

And,  sure,  he  is  a  real  cool  cat. 

I  don't  want  to  double-0  what  Brutus  gvimmed,  ■  ■       ' 

But,  like,  I  only  dig  what  comes  on  straight    *   '        '■ 

You  all  got  a  charge  out  of  him  once,  *  '*  * 

So  how  come  you  don't  cry  the  blues  for  him? 

Man!  You  are  real  nowhere, 

You  don't  make  it  anj-more.  Don't  cut  out  on  me;     '

ROVNDBALL   ROUNDUP... 

By  GENE  GAHLICHS  '    .      _   . 

With  the  close  ot  another  basketball  season  at  Milligan  let's  look 
'at  8  brief  resume  of  the  last  games  played  by  the  Butts. 

Milligan  traveled  to  Jefferson  City  to  meet  the  Carson-Newman 
Eagles  Carson-Newman  reached  their  highest  score  o(  the  season 
in  a  103-15  triumph  over  Milligan.  The  big  Buffs  were  scrappy  but 
were  outplayed  In  the  encounter.  Sonny  Smith  was  high  scorer  (or 
■the  Butts  and  of  the  game  with  34  points.  Sonny  also  led  m  rebounds 
■with  le  Del  Harris  was  second  high  for  the  Buffs  with  15  points. 
Jack  Owensby  with  21,  Harry  Sparks  with  19.  and  Lester  Peek  with 
n  led  the  Eagle  attack.  Milligan  hit  tor  32.5%,  while  Carson-New- 
man hit  for  57.57„.  ,         ,  . 

The  Buffs  also  met  defeat  from  Bethel,  93-81.  on  the  opponents 
home  court.  This  loss  hurt  more  than  others  In  that  M.llican  played 
good  ball  and  had  higher  accuracy  from  the  floor  than  did  Bethel. 
57%  to  47%.  Bethel  out-rebounded  Milligan  24-19,  which  helped  ex- 
plain the  final  score.  f;harley  Mayo  hit  36  for  Bethel,  while  Hams 
hit  26  and  Smith  hit  20  for  the  Buffs. 

At  niilligan'^  last  home  game  of  the  season  victory  smiled  on 
the  Buffaloes  with  a  75-71. win  over  King  College  It  couldn't  have 
been  a  better  time  to  hold  a  Sonny  Smith  Night,  for  Sonny  led  the

Lipscomb  College. 

Milligan  got  off  to  a  poor  start 
giving  the  Union  five  a  15-point 
lead  midway  In  the  first  half,  but

at  74-72  and  only  twenty  seconds 
remaining  in  the  game,  we  took 
possession  of  the  ball  and  called 
a  time-out — our  sixth.  This  gave 
Union  a  technical  foul  and  posses- 
sion of  the  ball.  The  game  ended 
78-74  witl^  Union  the  winner. 

The  sharp-shooting  of  Del  Har-

not,  however,  enable  Milligan  to 
keep  pace  with  the  opponents.

the 
Councils  should   play   in  campus 
government. 

At  the  close  of  this  year's  elec 
tion  on  May  5.  we  should  have 
four  persons  recognized  as  pri' 
mary  campus  leaders.  These  four 
leaders  will  constitute  the  stu 
dent  side  of  an  Administration' 
Student  Committee  which  will 
meet  regularly  to  discuss,  the 
problems  of  the  campus,  and 
which  will  make  recommenda- 
tions to  student  groups,  adminis- 
tration, and  faculty. 

It  has  recently  been  recognized- 
by  many  on  campus  that  many  of 
the  problems  of  the  students  and 
misunderstanding  by  the  students 
have  been  the  result  of  poor 
communication  between  adminis- 
tration and  students.  This  com- 
mittee should  go  far  in  eliminat- 
ing thhis  barrier.  Thus,  the  im- 
portance of  these  four  offices 
must  not  be,  undervalued,  for  in 
a  very  definite  way  the  future 
of  student  government  on  Mil- 
ligan's  campus  depends  on  the 
ability  and  the  desire  to  serve 
of  these  four  leaders. 


C,  presented  a  sermon:  "We  Still 
Preach   Unity    and   Restoration." 

Others  participating  in  the 
three-day  program  were:  Ken-

Netherlands  Quartet" 
Presented  Concert  At 
Milligan,  March  10 

The  AMSTERDAM  DUO  was 
scheduled  to  play  at  Milligan  on 
Monday,  March  10,  but  due  to 
the  death  of  Mme.  Heksch  the 
Netherlands  Quartet  was  sent  to 
fill  the  engagement. 

The  Milligan  College  Concert 
Series  featured  the  Netherlands 
String  Quartet  at  8:00  p.m.  on 
March  10  in  the  Milligan  Audi- 
torium. 

The  Netherlands  String  Quar- 
tet, featuring  the  best  in  Dutch 
chamber  music,  made  its  first  ap- 
pearance in  America  this  year. 
The  quartet — Nap  de  Klijn,  Jaap 
Schroder,  Paul  Godwin,  and  Carel 
Boomkamp,  was  formed  by  Nap 
de  Klijn  in  1952  and  made  its 
debut  in  January  of  that  year  at 
the   Concertgebouw,    Amsterdam. 

The  success  attending  this  In- 
augural performance  was  so 
great  that  critics  xinanimously 
agreed  that  this  was  one  of  the 
best  quartets  of  international  re- 
pute. This  success  also  led  to  the 
group  being  invited  to  appear 
at  the   1952  Holland  Festival. 

Since  then,  the  quartet  has 
made  regular  appearances  in 
Holland,  has  toured  Switzerland, 
England,    and   Gprmany   and   has

iness manager. 

Between  laughs  and  bumps  the 
choir  managed  to  get  a  little 
sleep  to  give  a  performance  every 
evening.  They  appreciated  Mrs. 
Ritz's  efforts  to  surprise  them  at 
dinner  on  Sunday'  by  having 
their  favojite  meal  (love  that 
haml).  The  choir  said  they  were 
sorry  to  disappoint  everyone  by 
not  having  any  new  couples  but 
this  just  wasn't  "Leap  Year." 
"Jim  Babe,"  the  bus  driver,  con- 
tributed much  to  the  success  and 
the  '  safe  arrival"  of  the  choir. 
Their  main  comment  was  that 
they  had  a  wonderful  time  but 
were  glad  to  be' back  with  fellow 
classmates  and   favorite  faculty.

"What  Tapture  of  new  life

By  the  same  Tnagic  is  awaked  at  once,  •> 

Without  the  learners'  toil  and  long  delay. 
Out  of  a  night  of  dumbly  moving  dreams, 
Into  a  day  that  overflows  with  mv^ic!"

New  Additions! 

Two  new  dryers  and  a  new 
wflaher  have  been  Installed  in  the 
laundry  room.  The  old  dryer  is 
being  repaired,  and  this  makes 
two  washers  and  three  dryers. 
The  washers  will  run  for  the 
price  of  twenty-five  cents  while 
the  dryers  will  run  for  ten  cents. 
These  should  be  enough  to  meet 
the  needs  of  the  students  here  at 
Milligan  for  the  time  being,  so 
lei's  all  work  together  in  order 
to  keep  them  In  good  running 
'condition  and  by  using  these 
washers  only  when  your  turn 
has  arrived. 

The  new  furniture  that  has  so 
beautifully  added  to  Sutton  par' 
lors  was  donated  to  Milligan 
College.  Approximately  $7,500 
worth  ot  furniture  has  been 
placed    In    these   divided    parlors. 

The  various  parking  lots 
around  the  campus  have  been 
greatly  Improved  by  gravel  and 
the  work  of  the  maintenance  men. 
Also  parking  places  have  been 
marked  off  for  the  student's  use.

Outstretched  for  every  fearful  woe

For  His  kind  eyes  revealing  pain  that  He  bore 

And  slowly  I'll  gaze  upon  His  brow 

And  gradually  scars  will  appear  where  . 

His  blood  had  trickled  out 

Scars  that  shine  and  glow  like  a  flame 

Twinkling  as  if  to  be  a  jewel  of  a  tear 

Running  down  a  stream  with  every  little  aim. 

Oh,  to  see  His  face 

Would  be  like  reaping  hours  of  grace 

Grace  that  will  bring  a  rich  reward 

That  keeps  pushing  one  forward  and  forward. 

And  how  I  would  to  reveal  within  everj*  work

But  I  will  triumph  in  the  end. 

If  He  in  His  glory  will  enter  in.

.COMMERCE  CLUB  VISITS  THE  S.  E.  MASSENGILL  CO. 
The  Commerce  Club  of  MiUigan  College  spent  the  afternoon  of 
March  13  touring  the  S.  E.  Massengiil  Company,  makers  of  Pharma- 
ceutical Products.  '  ' 

Upon  arriving  we  were  escorted  into  a  conference  room  where 
we  were  told  the  history  of  the  fohipany.  We  wore  then  divided 
into  groups  of  six  and  assigned  to  a  guide,  who  proceeded  to  show 
us  the  art  of  making  those  beautiful  little  pills  we  must  take  when 
we  are  ill.  We  went  into  the  laboratories  where  the  process  be- 
gins. Here  all  the  formulas  are  worked  out  and  tested  on  poor 
innocent  little  animals.  We  saw  one  little  dog,  who  had  so  many 
scars  on  him,  he  hardly  had  room  for  any  hair.  Then  we  visited 
the  section  where  all  the  bottles  and  large  jars  are  sterilized.  Next 
atop  was  the  room  where  the  ingredients  which  go  into  the  medi- 
cine are  mixed  in  large  vats.  It  is  then  taken  to  yet  another  room 
where  it  is  run  through  machines  which  make  it  into  either  pills 
or  capsules.  This  was  a  very  interesting  thing  to  watch,  and  we 
found  it  hard  to  tear  ourselves  away  from  it  in  order  to  finish  the 
tour.  Next  we  visited  the  room  where  the  pills  get  their  shiny 
coats  of  many  colors.  The  pills  arc  put  into  big  machines  which 
look  like  cement  mixers,  where  they  get  their  coating  of  sugar.  Then 
they  are  put  into  another  machine  of  this  type  to  be  polished.  They 
are  then  packaged  for  shipment  to  all  parts  of  the  United  States 
and  several  foreign  countries.  The  last  and  most  enjoyable  stop 
on  the  trip  was  at  the  cafeteria,  where  we  were  served  cokes  and 
given  a  sample  box  of  some  of  the  products  of  the  Massengiil  Com- 
pany.

LISA'S  LORE 


Greetings  again,  fellow  litcratesl  Things  are  back  to  normal 
now  that  the  choir  has  returned  from  tour,  and  once  more  It  is  a 
•train  on  one  to  find  a  place  to  sit  in  the  cafeteria. 

Among  the  sick  is  Barbara  Scott,  who  is  quarantined  in  Kings- 
port  with  the  measles.  Barb,  arc  you  SURE  this  wasn't  planned? 
Just  think  of  all  those  people,  all  over  four  states,  who  were  ex- 
posed to  the  measles  during  choir  tour! 

We  really  need  not  ask  If  ypu've  noticed  the  beautiful  furni- 
ture in  Sutton's  parlor;  it  Is  hardly  the  sort  of  thing  one  would  over- 
look. Bountiful  thanks  go  to  our  nameless,  but  not  imknown, 
benefactoi;  who  has  wrought  this  miraculous  change. 

We  would  like  to  take  this  opportunity  to  caution  the  Sopho- 
more Debs  about  so  obviously  eyeing  the  visiting  sports  teams  in 
the  cafeteria.  Please,  girls,  be  good  sports — wait  till  the  game 
itarta. 

Fpr  those  of  you  who  were  interviewed  in  connection  with  a 
public  Opinion  "composite  Ideal  personality"  poll  for  a  column,  we'd 
like  to  explain  its  absence  from  the  paper.  The  answers  to  the 
questions  covered  such  a  wide  range  that  is  was  impossible  to  draw 
any  accurate  conclusions. 

Congratulations  to  Milligan's  most  recent  steady  couple  (at  least 
at  the  time  of  writing) — Doris  Whaloy  and  Ray  Brown. 

We'd  like  to  mention  the  fact  here  that  Bob  Griffith  returned 
from  choir  tour  a  liew  "Uncle." 

The  alumni  had  "itching  feet"  again — Maggie  Butlor  was  here 
for  her  spring  vacation  when  we  returned  to  Milligan  from  ours,  and 
the  next  week  Barbara  Williams  graced  the  campus  for  two  days 
With  her  presence.  Milligan  happily  anticipates  a  flood  of  return- 
ing grads  on  May 'Day,  Saturday,  May  10.  , 

The  Milligan  females  would  like  to  publicly  toss  bouquets  to 
Professor  Hyder  for  so  graciously  allowing  us  to  use  his  hillside  as

Following  is  the  long  and  short 
of  what  took  place  in  the  Cheek 
gymnasium  on  March  11.  Assum- 
ing courage  never  before  known, 
the  Girls'  Intramural  All-Stars 
(Shirts)  and  the  Boys'  Intramural 
All-Stars  (Skins),  selected  by  all 
Intramural  team  members,  met 
in  a  contest  of  size,  skill  and 
speed.  ITiere  Is  no  question  as  to 
who  excels  in  these  particular 
areas  as  is  indicated  by  the  final 
score — Shirts  45  Skins  43.  Girls' 
rules  were  used,  which  was  a 
slight  advantage  to  the  girls  ex- 
cept for  the  fact  that  one  of  the 
referees  (Coach  Walker)  didn't 
know  them  either. 

Starting  for  the  girls  were 
Swinford,  Hammack,  and  Mur- 
ray as  forwards  with  Crites.  El- 
liott and  SuTnner  as  guards.  In 
opposition  were  Boyer,  Burleson 
and  Vicars  ai  forwards;  Shep- 
herd. Dudley  and  Wallace  a; 
guards. 

Burleson  dunked  one  in  Im 
mediately  for  the  Skins,  making 
it,  look  as  though  it  might  be  an 
easy  game  for  them  all  the  way, 
However,  the  girls  matched  them 
quickly  as  Swinford  swished  one 
through  the  net.  Burleson  col- 
lected on  a  foul  on  Swinford,  but 
she  managed  to  follow  with  an- 
other fieldgoal.  A  technical  on 
Boyer  for  stealing  from  Crites 
(tak!  tski)  didn't  pay  off — how- 
ever, because  he  forgot  to  raise 
his  hand,  Swinford  got  a  second 
freethrow  which  she  made  good. 
Bowyer  fired  and  made  3  field- 
goals  before  the  Shirts  retrieved 
the  ball.  At  this  point,  the  girls 
lowered  their  shooting  average 
somewhat,  but  we  must  admit, 
they  did  some  mighty  good  re- 
bounding. Then  Murray  found 
the  basket  with  a  long,  hook  shot 
which  Burleson  likewise 
tempted,  and  accidently  made,  at 
the  sound  of  the  buzzer.  Yes,  the 
boys  out-shined  the  girls  a  little 
the  first  quarter — 13-7. 

Alexander  replaced  "worn-out" 
Dudley  for  the  next  quarter  and 
Van  Buren  (Goose  I)  substituted 
for  that  "lucky"  Burleson.  Ham- 
mack  started  off  a  scoring  rally 
for  the  Shirta  with  a  long  two- 
hand  set  shot.  Boyer  loses  the 
Skins'  opportunity  for  two  and 
Crites  rebounds,  down  to  Swin- 
ford who  misses,  but  is  assisted 
by  "soft-hearted"  Wallace  who 
tips  It  in.  The  Skins  lost  the  ball 
to  Elliott  who  was  fouled,  result- 
ing in  a  point  by  Swinford,  tying 
up  the  game.  As  the  Skins  lose 
th^  ball  twice  more,  Murray  and 
Swinford  take  advantage  with 
long  hook-shots  to  show  them 
what  they  were  really  up  against. 
Crites  ties  Goose  I  up,  but  some- 
how he  got  the  tip  on  the  Jump 
and  Boyer  scored.  ITie  six  fear- 
less Shirts  continued  to  take  thot 
ball,  fire  and  hit.  Alexander 
finally  got  in  there  for  the  only 
Skin  rebound  of  the  quarter,  al- 
lowing Goose  I  to  put  one  in-  So. 
the  end  of  the  second  quarter  left 
the  Skins  trailing  27-22.  The 
Shirts  held  them  to  only  9  points, 
while  they  piled  up  20. 

Wallace  went  in  as  forward  for 
Boyer  while  the  Shirts  begin  the 
new  half  with  Canont  for  Elliot. 
Pate  for  Sumner,  and  Whitford 
for  Murray.  Hammack  collides 
with  Dudley,  however,  ho  was 
unable  to  collect  on  the  free- 
throw.  Whitford  scored  on  Wal- 
lace's last  personal.  Boyer  came 
in  then,  and  was  penalized  for 
not  reporting.  Though  the  girls 
worked  the  ball  well  and  got 
quite  a  few  shots,  they  were 
pretty  cold.  Wo  can't  even  say 
that    the    boys    worked    the    b/iU 


well;  at  one  time  they  couldn't 
even  find  it,  but  it  was  finally 
discovered  under  Shepherd's 
shirt.  In  a  mad  attempt  to  gain 
the  ball  and  score,  the  Skins  paid 
with  several  technicals  for  steal- 
.ing.  If  you  happen  to  have  the 
right  technique,  as  did  Kay  Pale. 
you  can  steal  il  Icgplly.  Aflcr  do- 
ing BO,  she  did  a  half  flip  and 
fired  from  the  opposite  end  of 
the  floor.  Though  it  didn't  count, 
it  did  reach  the  backboard.  Wal- 
lace suddenly  got  hot  and  added 
five  points  to  the  Skin's  score. 
That,  with  a  free  throw  by  Dud- 
ley gave  them  a  total  of  28 
points — quite  short  of  the  Shirts' 
35. 

As  the  last  period  begins,  the 
Skins  come  on  the  floor  with  a 
grim  and  determined  look  on 
their  faces.  Boyer  attempts  to 
start  a  rally  with  a  fast  break 
and  two  points.  But  Hammack 
answered  with  an  additional 
two  for  the  Shirts,  followed  short- 
ly with  a  fieldgoal  by  Swinford. 
Burleson  and  Alexander  went  on 
to  score,  but  could  not  get  a  lead 
with  Pate  and  Elliott  stealing  and 
feeding  to  their  capable  forwards. 
Finally  within  two  points,  Boyer 
scoops  one  in  under  the  basket. 
With  18  seconds  to  go — score  43- 
43,  Van  Buren  commits  hia  last 
personal,  allowing  Swinford  to 
pick  up  a  free  throw.  On  Uking 
th^  ball  out,  a  technical  was  call- 
ed against  the  Skins  on  the  3- 
foot  rule.  Swinford  again  stood 
at  the  free  throw  line  and  scored. 
In  the  remaining"  seconds,  the 
Shirts  maintained  the  ball,  de- 
spite efforts  of  the  Skins  to  make 
a  final  attempt  to  tie  the  score. 
Well,  better  luck  next  year,  boys! 
Top  scorers  for  this  AJl-Star 
earpe  are:  Swinford  and  Ham- 
mack for  the  Shirta  with  20  and 
14  points  respectively;  Boyer  and 
Burleson  for  the  Skins  with  U 
and  9.

THE     STAMPEDE

Baseball,  Tennis  And  Track  Make  Up 
illigan's  Spring  Sports  Program 

Track  Team     •!}'-; 
Undefeated  -.■■ 


Baseball  Team 
Seek  First  Win 

This  year's  baseball  team  has 
started    off    on    the    wrong    foot. 

,  sporting  an  0-4  record.  The  team 
however,  has  the  best  potential- 
ity of  any  of  the  teams  Milligan 
haa  had  in  the  past  lew  years. 

The  team's  record  shows  four 
defeats— Mars  Hill  9-0,  Del  Har- 
ria  the  losing  pitcher;  MaryvIUe 
11-4,    Norman    White    the   losing 

I  pitcher;  Carson-Newman  18-3, 
John  McKamcy  the  losing  pitch- 
er; L.  M.  U.  e-0.  Norman  White 
the  losing  pitcher.  Relief  pitch 
ing  for  these  games  was  done  by 
Ray  Sheppard,  Joe  Harris,  and 
Sam  Simerly. 
"  In  the  infield  are  McKamey  at 
third,  Simerly  at  shortstop,  Bu- 
Chen  at  second,  and  Hagy  at  first, 
along  with  Perdue.  Haag.  Wal- 
lace, and  Covell.  The  outfield  is 
made  up  of  Arwood,  Williams, 
Burleson,  Austin,  Martin,  Stames, 
Campbell,  and  Don  Shepherd. 
The  Buffs  sport  three  catchers — 
Hyder,  Jones,  and  Kroh. 
The  infield  is'  solid  and  works 

^■well  as  a  unit,  having  executed 
three  double  plays  in  four  games. 
They  are  working  under  a  defi- 
nite handicap,  having  had  little 
thance  for  practice  due  to  spring 
vacation  and  bad  weather.  This 
has  also  affected  the  hitting  of 
the  Buffs. 

■  These  first  four  games  have 
served  as  costly  practice  for  the 
Buffs.  The  team  Is  good  but  IS 
hampered  by  tad  breaks."  Maybe 
after  these  games  the  team  will 
Start  to  click  and  will  win  a  few 
games  for  old  M.  C.  this  year; 
we  certainly  hope  so. 

■  In  the  next  issue  will  be  In- 
dividual rundowns  of  the  start- 
ing nine  and  the  coach.  Lei's  not 
be  discouraged  over'  these  first 
four  defeats,  but  let's  get  <Jut  and 
support  the  team  to  some  vic- 
tories. ,  ^ 


Girls  Finished 
Basketball:  Plan 
Softball  Squad 

..The  girls'  intramural  basketball 
season  was  brought  to  a  close  by 
the  four  final  games  of  the  Round 
•Robin  Tournament  on  March  14 
and  16. 

In  the  first  game  the  Spizer- 
inctums  met  Saylor'^  Swabbies 
which  resulted  in  a  very  close 
game;  the  Splzerinctums  pulling 
a  23-20  victory.  The  number  one 
team,  Kathy's  Krazy  Kats,  out- 
scored  Donna's  Dolls  in  the  sec- 
ond game  of  the  evening  by  29 
points  against  their  8. 

The  following  Tuesday  brought 
the  Splzerinctums  up  against  the 
undefeated  Kats.  After  a  hard- 
fought  gome,  the  Splzerinctums 
finally  pulled  ahead,  dealing  a 
24-18  loss  to  this  powerful  ten. 
Baylor's  Swabbies  were  brought 
down  by  Donna's  Dolls  in  the  last 
game  of  the  tournament  by  a 
score  of  27-22. 

Team  records,  .<vins  and  losses, 
for  the  entire  season  arc  as  fol-

Splzerinctums,  4-2;  Donna's  Dolls, 
2-4;  Saylor's  Swabbies,  1-5. 

Leading  scorers  for  the  period 
are  Joanne  Swinford,  Spizerinc- 
lum,  with  an  average  of  16  points 
per  game;  Ruth  Hammack  and 
Rachael  Murray,  playing  for  Don-

Crazy  College  Customs 

(ACP) —  Fun  and  games  or 
campus  get  some  'editorial  con 
sideration.  This  from  the  Fresno, 
Cal.,  Junior. college  .RAMPAGE: 
"Die  youth  of  today  ,  Is  prob- 
ably the  group  which  is  most 
heavily  attacked' by  public  criti 
clsm  and  censure.-  The  younger 
college  generation  Is  not^  ex- 
cluded from  this  category. 

Looking  at  the  college  students 
of  today  and  making  a  compari- 
!on  with  those  of  the  past,  how- 
ever, can  result  In  a  rather  startl- 
ing conclusion.    '  *    , 

During  the  1920*8  and  30's  col-^ 
lege  campuses  in  this'  country 
saw  widespread,  outbreaks  of 
radical  behavior.  Communist 
groups  were  springing  up  on  vari- 
ous carrfpuses  along  with  the  soap- 
box speakers  who  voiced  their 
radical  opinions.  Also,  bathtub 
gin  parties  and  swallowing  gold- 
fish were  the  rage  in  college  life. 
Today's  college  student  Is  far 
less  apt  to  express  himself  or  his 
inner  turmoils  through  such  un- 
conventional methods  as  those 
practiced  20  and  30  years  ago. 

While  it  may  be  good  that  the 
college  student  of  today  has  be- 
come far  less  explosive  in  his 
mannerisms,  the  aura  of  confor- 
mity he  has  assumed  may  be  con- 
sidered lethal. 

With  today's  stress  on  social 
acceptance  and  security  many 
students  have  been  rendered 
either  fearful  or  Incapable  of 
formulating  opinions  and  ideas  of 
their  own. 

They  receive  information  from 
their  teachers  and  texts  as  if 
they  were  in  a  vacuum.  No  at- 
tempt is  made  to  question  an 
authority,  information  Is  accept- 
ed as  completely  factual  and  be- 


na's  Dolls  and  Kathy's  Krazy 
Kats,.  each  averaged  H  points 
per  game. 

'with  basketball  now  behind  us 
and  with  spring  in  the  air,  our 
interest  turns  to  Softball.  As  soon 
as  the  days  become  longer  so  as 
to  provide  light  enough  for  us  to 
play  after  dinner,  we  will  or- 
ganize the  teams  and  get  under- 


Tennis  .Team  Shows  Improvement 


The  tennis  team  is  green  but 
Is  becoming  seasoned  fast.  1"hey 
have  a  3-4  record  so  far  but  hope 
tO'  improve  this  record  '  in  the 
coming  weeks.  The  Buff  netmen 
have  lost  to  King  4-5;  Mars  Hill 
4-5;  Carson-Newman,  0-9  and 
E.T.S.C.  3-6,  while  defeating  Em- 
ory  and  Henry  6-3;  L.M.U.  6-3; 
and  King  6-3.     . 

The  top  six  on  the  tennis  team 
are  newcomers  to  fuUtime  var- 
sity play,  with'  the  exception  of 
the  captain,  Gordon  Ellis. 

At  number  one  position,  Gor- 
don Ellis  has  a  2-5  record,  de- 
feating Emory  and  Henry  and 
L.M.U.;  number  two,  Sam  Stames, 
1-6;  winning  over  L.M.U.:'  num- 
ber three,  Eric  Crites.  3-4;  de- 
feating King  and  Mars  Hill,  num- 
ber four.  Bob  Dudley,  4-3,  de- 
feating Emory  and  Henry.  L.M.U., 
E.T.S.C,  and  King;  number  five. 
Sonny  Brown,  4-2  having  wins 
over  all  but  the  strong  Carson- 
Newman  opponent  and  E.T.S.C; 
number  six,  Jim  Stidham,  6-1, 
also  having  wins  over  all  but 
Carson-Newman. 


Milligan 'is  again  found  want- 
ing in  the  doubles  bracket — 
Dudley  and  Crites,  number  three 
doubles  over  King;  Crites  and 
Dudley  over  Mars  Hill;  Crites 
and  Dudley  over  Emory  and 
Henry  at  number  two  doubles, 
and  Stames  and  Stidham  at  num- 
ber three;  Stames  and  Stidham 
also  won  at  number  three  doubles 
Qver  L.M.U.;  Dudley  and  Crites 
won  over  King  along  with 
Stames  and  Stidham;  Stames 
and  Stidham  won  over  E.T.S.C. 
•  The  matches  with  King  and 
Mars  Hill  were  quite  close,  the 
victory  being  determined  during 
the  final  doubles  match.  Carson^ 
Newman  has  had  by  far  the  best 
team  Milligan  has  played.  Look 
for  Milligan  victories  over  Mars 
Hill  in  their  return  match  due 
to  the  added  experience  and  con- 
fidence the  team  has  acquired 
Let's  give  our  support  to  this 
team,  for  with  it  they  have  a 
much  better  chance  of  winning. 

Next  issue  will  contain  a  run- 
down on  the  top  six  on  the  tennis 
team  and  on  the  coach. 


yond  memorizing  it,  no  further 
thought  is  given  to  it. 

Very  few  people  are  ready  to 
criticize  this  lack  of  mental  ac- 
tivity on  the  'part  of  so  many 
college  students.  A  seemingly  in- 
significant act  by  a  group  of  stu- 
dents, such  as  stealing  a  bell  from 

campus  tower,  is  much  more 
apt  to  receive  widespread  public 
attention. 

As  a  result  of  the  era  in  which 
they  live,  college  students  have 
become  almost  puppet-like.  They 
are  members  of  a  regimented 
class,  much  like  one  In  a  com- 
munist state.  An  authority  Is 
never  questioned  but  always  fol- 
lowed. 

Those  who  can  do  the  most  to 
remedy  this  situation  are  the  stu- 
dents themselves.  They  can  do 
this  by  removing  the  cloak  of 
indifference  which  surrounds 
them  and  attempting  a  more  in- 
quisitive ond  thorough  pursuit  of 
their  studies.

The  Milligan  College  track 
team  entered  the  eeason  with 
high  expectations  of  being  one 
of  the  best  Buff  track  teams  in 
the  past  few  years,  line  team

two  who  succeeded  in  wiping

"This  Is  best  of  all  possible  >yorlds."  ' 

We  would  have  to  be  fools  wearing  blinders  to  take  the 
above  antedote  for  all  the  ills  of  living  and  believe  in  it.  But 
"we  would  also  haVe  to  be  a  little  life-worn  to  refuse  to  see 
its  outline  in  the  happiness  of  laughter,  the  bigness  of  suc- 
cess, the  sacredness  of  worship,  and  the  completeness  of  hu- 
.mllity.    But  we  can  not  open  our  eyes  to  see  these  meaning- 
:  ful  messages  and  not  see  the  outline's  ragged  edges  dipped 
in  hatred,  littleness,  deceit,  prejudices,  disappointments,  and 
wrongs  of  a  human  society.    But  the  very  word,  human,  that 
makes  these  wrongs,  is  the  very  element  that  makes  the  good. 
An  long  as  we  have  these  sore  spots,  we  will  continue  to  have 
.the  rewards  of  life.    We  are  only  human, when  we  make 
:  mistakes;  we  are. only  honest  when  we  see  these  mistakes. 
We  are  only  smart  when  we  recognize  and  learn  from  these 
mlstak&s.     ,,/.....  '■'■■.;   ^    _,■■■■ ' 

The  best  of  all  possible  worlds  could  have  no  future;  it 
',,WOuld  be  the  end  result  of  itself.  We  live  in  a  world  so  filled 
■with  so  many  emotions,  It  would  be  a  freak  situation  if  all 
emotions  and  motivations  were  for  the  best  possible  reason 
and  for  the  best  possible  end.  No  man  is  an  island,  but  each 
,  man  is  a  world;  fighting  battles,  living  lies,  giving  and  shar- 
i.ing  himself,  greedily  asking  for  more  than  his  share,  loving, 
resenting,  belonging,  separating,  fearing,  confiding,  trusting, 
suspecting,^  and  making  an  almost  impossible  dent  on  society. 
TWs  man,  as  he  comes  into  society,  brings  his  own  complete 
1  world  into  a  more  complete  and  a  more  complicated  world 
and  shares  and  takes  from  this  world.  He  is,  in  turn,  more 
richly  endowed  with  goodness  and  badness. 

:  ■  ■•  What  do  we  do  then,  bow  to  the  victor,  evil,  and  join  the 
winner  completely?  Of  course,  we  6hall  never  bow  to  the 
dark;  or. expect  the  light  to  go  out.  Morning  breaks  with 
more  glory  because  It  follows  night  and  from  night  came 
light.  The  darkness  provides  the  race,  the  success,  the  glories, 
the  accomplishments,  and  the  humility. 

As  each  man  Is  a  world,  so  is  each  college  a  world.  Not 
the  best  of  all  possible  worlds,  but  a  world  of  darkness  and 
light — Ignorance  and  learning.  The  world  of  college  has  an 
advantage  over  any  other  world.  It  has  the  blessings  of 
spirit,  newness,  rebellion,  energy,  and  unbroken  enthusiasm. 
With  these  there  are  goals  to  be  made,  falls  to  be  felt,  trys 
and  more  trys,  but  always  with  the  desire  to  learn  and  find 
out.  There  is  nothing  too  ridiculous  to  try,  nothing  too  dif- 
Eicult  to  suceed  at,  nothing  too  victorious  to  dare,  nothing 
too  anything  for  youth.  Fingers  get  burned,  but  goals  are 
made  and  reached  —  this  is  the  world  of  learning  and  youth.

Softball  Ends  Girl's  Intramural 

By  Baib  Smilh 

Looking  back  over  the  past  several  months  of  this  1957-5B  school 
year,  we  recall  the  pleasure  gained  through  participation  in  the 
girls'  intramural  volleyball  and  basketball  tournaments.  In  order  to 
bring  to  our  memory — and  to  honor  those  teams  which  so  deserve  it, 
the  winning  teams  and  their  members  will  again  be  named. 

In  volleyball,  Team  3  finished  in  the  tournament  with  a  4-1 
record  placing  them  in  first  position.  Included  in  this  winning  team 
are  the  following:  Joanne  Swinford,  Captain.*  Dnrla  Miller,  Betty 
Canant,  Pat  Kretler,  Laura  Nell  Hamilton,  Vonda  Martin,  Jackie 
Ratliff,  Donna  Scef,  and  Linda  Elliot, 

Baskeetball  season  came  to  a  close  with  Kathy's  Krazy  Kats 
leading  the  four  participating  teams  with  a  very  good  record  of  5 
wins  and  only  1  loss.  Captain  Kathy  Whitford  led  her  Krazy  Kats — 
Joyce  Crites,  Faith  Dunn,  Linda  Elliott,  Dot  Eunson.  Sue  Forrester, 
Tonl  Larcom,  Rachael  Murray  and  Barbara  Tenny — in  this  success- 
ful season. 

At  present,  softball  Intramurals  are  being  played.  Time  is  running 
short,  but  we  hope  to  complete  at  least  one  round,  There  are  three 
teams  organized:  Team  1  consists  of  Altwain  Larcom,  Joanne  Swin- 
ford, Kathy  Whitford,  Jenny  Harris,  Barbara  Smith,  Joan  Vance, 
Jackie  Ratliff,  Linda  Thompson.  Sharon  Polowchak.  Nancy  Phillips, 
Donna  Seef  and  Betty  Bee. 

Team  2,  Donna  Zange,  Ruthann  Currcy.  Betty  Whitford,  Jan 
Mills.  Ruth  Hammack,  Laura  Hamilton,  Lena  Jo  ITiompson,  Faith 
Dunn,  Betty  Canant,  Mary  Lou  Sickafosse,  pnd  Sandi  Eldemire. 

Team  3,  Wanda  Stofferan,  Joyce  Crites,  Merry  Whitford,  Julia 
Woolard,  Jo  Phillips.  Alice  Miller,  Laura  Osbom,  Linda  Howe,  Lou- 
ise Garllchs,  Kay  Pate  and  Jo  Anne  Hines. 

In  the  first,  and  only  game  played  thus  far.  Team  3  defeated 
Team  1  by  a  score  of  17-16.  Team  2  forfeited  to  team  3. 

As  we  say  good-bye  to  girls'  intramural  sports  for  1957-58 — 
thank  you  to  all  who  participated  for  your  cooperation  and  good 
sportsmanship,  congratulations  to  the  winning  teams,  and  a  sincere 
expression  of  appreciation  to  Mrs.  Diane  Bartchy  for  her  time  and 
effort  in  directing  this  Intramural  program. 


•Tennis  Ends  With  A  6-7  Record 

Mllligan  College's  tennis  team  had  a  fair  season  this  year,  sport- 
ing ft  6-7  record.  They  have  wins  over  Emory  and  Henry  (two),  Lin- 
coln Memorial  University  (two).  King,  and  Maryville,  while  losing 
.  to  King,  Mars  Hill  (two),  Carson-Newman,  East  Tennessee  State 
(two),  and  Tennessee  Wesleyan.  ■  ■    .*/   .  . 

The  Buff  netmen"  never  looked  really  bad  but  were  always  in 
the  heat  of  things  striving  for  a  victory  till  the  end.  Much  improve- 
ment W08  seen  in  the  Buffs  as  the  season  progressed.  The  eirperi- 
ence  gained  this  year  should  be  quite  helpful  in  giving  a  good  strong 
showing  of  the  team  next  year.  There  will  be  four  returning  lettcr- 
-men— Sam  Stames,  Eric  Crites,  Bob  Dudley,  and  Jim  Stidham, 

■  .-v    Jim  Stidham  had  the  best  record  on*  the  iquod,  boasting  a  smart 
11-2  Bcorcsheef.  Jim  played  very  well  at  the  number  6  position  and 

■  was  a  strong  man  on  the  team.  You  could  almost  count  on  Jim  for 
a  point  when  the  chips  wer«  down. 

Gordon  ElUa  had  a  4-9  record  and  was  captain.  Sonny  Brown 
had  an  impressive  8-4  record — the  second  best  on  the  squad,  Sam 
Slames  was  the  hard-luck  man  with  a  2-11  record.  Bob  Dudley  was 
good  with  6-7,  and  Eric  Crites  carried  a  7-8  record. 


Track  Team  Has  Successful  Season 

The  MilUgan  Buffs'  track  team  ended  a  succegsfur  fieaaon  with 
three  wins  and  one  loss  In  dual  meets,  and  finished  second  In  the 
SMAC  and  fourth  in  the  VSAC  meets. 

The  wins  were  achieved  over  Man  Hill  twice  by  scores  of  85  1/3 
to  45  2/3.  and  69  2/3  to  61  1/3;  and  a  victory  over  Tusculum  91-40. 
The  only  season  loss  was  to  Union,  Kentucky,  by  a  score  of  78-53. 
The  Buffs  acquired  35W  points  In  the  SMAC.  finishing  second  to 
Union,  Kentucky,  and  22%  points  in  the  V.SAC.  finishing  behind 
David  Lipscomb,  Austin  Peay,  and  Union.  Tennessee.  The  Buffs 
had  3  meets,  2  with  Lees  McRac  and  one  with  Tusculum  cancelled 
because  of  bad  weather. 

Leading  scorer  for  the  Buffs  for  the  third  straight  year  was 
noger.Slicmore  with  102.  Other  leading  scorers  were  Julian  Holland 
with  53  points.  Phil  Worrell  with  39'.4  points.  Sonny  Smith  with 
28Vi  points  and  Pat  Murphy  Mih  28  1/6  points. 

The  IJuffs  win  be  looking  forward  to  another  good  season  next 
year  as  they  will  lose  only  one  man.  Sonny  Smith. 


Are  We  Missing 
The  Mark? 

(From  Union  College.  Ky.) 

On  a  little  hill  in  mid-U.S.A 
stands  a  barn  bordered  by  two 
creeks.  A  drop  of  rain  falling  on 
one  side  of  the  barn  trickles 
down,  finds  its  way  to  the  creek 
and  from  thence  to  a  tributary  to 
the  Groat  Lakes,  up  the  St.  Law- 
rence River  to  the  North  Atlantic. 
On  the  other  side  of  the  barn 
just  an  inch  away  a  little  drop 
trickles  down  into  the  other 
creek  and.  reaching  another  tri- 
butary finds  its  way  to  the  Mis- 
sissippi, and  from  there  reaches 
the  Gulf  of  Mexico.  One  inch  dif- 
ference at  the  outset  mokes  a, 
difference  of  thousands  of  miles 
in  the  outcome. 

Little  distances,  little  decisions, 
little  shadings  of  word  meanings, 
make  such  a  difference  when  ap- 
plied to  life  situations.  One  man 
cheats  another  out  of  $50  and  is 
branded  dishonest;  the  same  man 
cheats  an  insurance  company  and 
he's  "clever." 

The  word  In  the  New  Testa- 
ment used  for  sin  is  "harmartia" 
which  means  literally,  missing  the 
mark.  It  can  make  an  enormous 
difference  in  the  outcome,  if  we 
are  missing  the  mark  on  the  long 
road  of  life,  If  we  apply  the  par- 
able to  the  little  raindrop  to  our 
own  search  in  life  for  a  satis- 
factory avenue  to  the  highest 
possible  experience,  it  ran  have 
very  sobering  effects  on  our  at- 
titudes  toward  our  goa's, 

Christ's  matchless  experience 
in  the  wilderness  for  forty  days, 
setting  a  mark  or  goal  in  partner- 
ship with  the  Father,  has  caused 
us,  as  Christians,  to  appoint  a 
similar  period  In  our  own  ex- 
perience for  meditation  on  this 
perplexing  prob|em  of  life's  pur- 
pose. The  deeper  our  meditation 
the  stronger  our  conviction  that 
the  answer  Is  more  than  symbol 
or  system,  more  than  doctrine  or 
creed.'  ■       ^       i 

The  more  intense  our  contem 
plation,  the  more  intense  is  the 
revelation  of  the  Spirit  unto  us. 
Do  not  our  hearts  bum  within 
us  as  the  Spirit  grows  and  impels 
us  to  create  new  beauty  1 
tired  old  world?  Does  not  the 
growth  of  this  Spirit  malte 
recall  vividly  that  .  Christ  said 
the  kingdom  of  heaven  is  within 
us — to  seek  first  the  kingdom  and 
everything  else   will   be   added. 

In  the  light  of  this  revelation 
no  one  can  deny  that  all  of  our 
greatest  steps  irt  history  whether 
it  be  science,  art,  truth.  Justice, 
have  been  token  t>y  men  who 
have  been  impielied  by  a  spiritual 
fire  that  caused  them  to  trans- 
cend all  material  or  personal 
goals.  We  bU  have  had  some  little 
gift  'of  insight  to  see  the  need 
for  preparation;  to  ^  better  face 
this  world  we  live  in  (or  we 
wouldn't  be  .here  at  college) 
May  wc  build  on  this  insight, 
nurture  it,  and  use  it  to  sec  fur- 
ther ahead  thon  we  now  see,  to 
seek  out, ways  meditatively  until 
wc  may  single  out  the  way  ond 
enter  into  a  full  partnership  with 
God.

REVIEW   IN   ROIJNDBALL 

By  Donna  Zange 

The  end  of  another  year  is  again  here,  and  as  we  look 
back  on  the  past  activities  we  cannot  help  feeling  that  our 
basketball  season  will  be  one  to  be  remembered. 

In  the  twenty  game  series  the  "Buffs"  lost  twelve  and 
won  eight — two  of  these  wins  being  against  ETSC- 

The  season  started  out  with  Tusculum  College  lowering 
the  boom  on  our  "Buffs"  with  a  score  of  64-47.  The  second 
game  against  the  V.S.A.C.    opponent    Bethel,    brought    the 
"Buffs"  in  another  defeat  by  a  112-82  score. 
\ 

The  "Buffs"  ended  a  19-game  losing  streak  to  ETSC  in 
the  first  game  with  State,  with  a  55-51  victory. 

The  fourth  game  of  the  season  took  the  young  "Buffs"  to 
Athens,  Tennessee,  to  drop  a  close  game  to  Tennessee  Weslc- 
yan  by  a  score  of  66-58. 

Miliigan  suffered  three  more  defeats  before  Christmas 
vacation  with  Belmont  by  a  score  of  86-73;  Union  College  81- 
67;  and  Carson-Newman  by  the  score  of  72-70. 

The  Christmas  holidays  must  have  been  good  for  the 
"Buffs",  for  they  started  off  the  1958  season  with  a  bang  in 
a  79-59  victory  over  Tusculum.  Playing  very  well  against  a 
strong  L.M.U.  quintet,  the  "Buffs"  were  outlasted  by  a  91-77 
score.     ,        '  ' 

The  fighting  "Buffs"  edged  the  Emory  and  Henry 
"Wasps"  90-89  in  an  overtime  thrilled,  on  their  second  ^.M.- 
A-C-  victory  against  four  losses,  and  their  third  victory  of 
the  season  against  7  losses. 

This  brings  us  to  the  second  meeting  of  the  two  rivals 
ETSC  and  Miliigan  College,  to  see  the  "Buffs"  bag  a  80-76 
victory.  Miliigan  was  behind  after  the  first  ten  minutes  of 
the  game  and  trailed  till  the  last  four  minutes,  then  came  to 
life  and  clicked  with  expert  precision. 

Tennessee  Wesleyan  defeated  the  "Buffs"  for  the  second 
time  of  the  season,  77-65,  but  revenging  an  earlier  loss  they 
toppled  the  Union,  Kentucky,  quintet  84-76. 

The  big  "Buffs"  were  scrappy  in  their  attempt  to  out- 
play the  Carson-Newman  "Eagles,"  but  defeat  swallowed 
them  up  107-75. 

Two  more  triumphs  were  had  when  Miliigan  trampled 
over  King  College  with  a  75-71  win,  and  then  with  t.M.U.  in 
a  close  contest,  76-74. 

Defeats  were  met  against  Bethel,  93-81,  on  the  oppon- 
ents' home  court;  the  Emorj'  and  Henry  "Wasps",  76-57;  and 
the  close  out  game  of  the  season  with  a  loss  to  King  at  Kingt, 
81-59.      . 

The  Miliigan  College  Buffaloes  journeyed  to  Nashville, 
Tennessee,  for  the  Volunteer  State  Athletic  Conference 
tourney  with  Union  College,  to  suffer  a  defeat  of  74-7Z 

The  fired  up,  hustlin'  Miliigan  College  "Buffs"  elimi- 
nated the  Tusculum  "Pioneers"  in  the  first  round  of  the 
S.M.A.C.  tournament  by  defeating  them  73-55,  but  ended  the 
season  with  a  75-58  defeat  with  the  Carson-Newman  "Eaglet." 

Two  Miliigan  College  Buffaloes  were  honored  with  the 
selection  of  the  Vplunteer  Slate  Athletic   Conference  and 
Smqky   Mountain   Athletic   Conference.    Sonny   Smith    and ' 
Delmer  Harris,  co-captains  of  the  1957-58  Miliigan  Buffaloes, 
were  named  to  both  these  conference  teams.  :   . 

We  can  all  be  proud  of  the  boys  who  were  so  faithful 
and  patient  through  the  season,  and  put  all  that  thev  had 
into  the  game.  Sonny  Smith,  Delmer  Harris,  (co-captains),

ed to  return.  But  we  Jumped  back  on  the  ball  and  elected  Frank

Missionary  Felloivship  '     V. 

The  Missionary  Fellowship  was  organized  as  a  new  club  on  cam- 
pus, this  school  year,.  Upon  request  of  Miss  Harlin.  several  who  were 
interested  in  missionary  work  of  the  church  met  together.  In  the 
Ilrst  few  meetings,  these  interested  students  formulated  a  constitu- 
tion which  was  presented  to  the  student  council  and  the  adminis- 
tration. The  constitution  was  accepted  by  both  the  council  and  the 
President,  and  the  Missionary  Fellowship  became  an  official  club. 

Since  then,  the  club  has  had  programs  designed  to  inform  the 
students  of  the  missionary  activity  in  several  lands.  Mrs,  Arthur 
Thomas  and  Mi.";s  Sandra  Eldcmire  have  each  given  a  talk  and  shown 
slides  of  the  mission  work  in  theij-  homelands,  Germany  and  Jamai- 
ca, respectively.  The  movie  "Rose  of  Tibet"  wag  shown  to  inform  all 
who  saw  it  of  the  work  done  by  Christian  people  there.  I'hese.were 
some  of  the  outstanding  programs. 

The  purpose  and  goal  of  the  Missionaiy  Fellowship  is  to  instill 
in  the  minds  of  the  leaders  of  the  church  in  the  near  future  an  un- 
derstanding and  an  appreciation  of  the  mission  work  of  the  church. 
To  this  end  the  members  study  and  discuss  not  only  the  present  mis- 
sion work  throughout  the  world,  but  also  what  is  and  will  be  needed 
in  both  church  support  and  recruiting  of  more  missionaries. 
^  To  carry  the  clubs  program  forward  In  1958-59.  these  were 
chosen:  President,  Dale  Jacobs;  Vice-President.  Jim  Pierson;  Secre- 
tary, Lucille  Sailers;  Treasurer,  Arthur  Thomas;  Reporter,  Vaughn 
Ross.  I

Students  Show  Promise  Of  Much 
School  Spirit  As  Classes  Get  Underway^ 

On  Friday,  September  12,  one  of  the  best  and  loudest  stu- 
dent assemblies  was  conducted.  After  announcfements  from 
both  the  faculty  and  students,  Mr.  Richard  Tappa,  our  new 
choir  director,  directed  the  students  in  a  hymn  which  brought 
out  a  great  response  from  all  present.  Following  this,  three 
returning  cheerleaders,  Jan  Rinnert,  Frank  Parker,  and 
Ruth  Hammack  introduced  to  the  freshmen  and  transfer 
students  a  little'of  the  school  spirit  here  at  Milligan.  Several 
yells  were  taught  and  the  response  from  not  only  the  fresh- 
men and  upperclassmen,  but  the  faculty  as  well,  was  terrific. 
The  roof  seemed  to  rise  on  the  fully-packed  assembly  as 
they  gave  out  with  such  yells  as  the  "Milligan  Locomotive," 
"H-e-1-l-o,"  "V-E-A-Team-Fight,"  "Stomp  Cheer."  "Two-Bits- 
Four-Bits,".  "Yea,  Team,';Fight/'  "Buffalo"  Born/'!  and  ending 
with  the  "Alma  Mater."  " '■  '   ''■■■■■   ^ 

We  are  in  hopes' that  the  same  cheering  crowd  will  come 
out  in  body  and  voice  and  spirit  for -games  this  year.

Given  Recently 

Since  Student  Assembly  on 
September  12,  many  girls 
have  asked  questions  concern- 
ing cheerleading  tryouts.  This 
article  is  to  answer  some  of 
these  questions  that  have 
been  asked  concerning  them. 

In  the  past,  seven  varsity 
cheerleaders,  boys  or  girls, 
have  been  chosen  to  make  up 
the  squad.  In  addition  to  these, 
three  alternates  have  been 
chosen  to  serve  as  substitutes 
for  the  varsity  squad  and  also 
to  make  up  the  cheering 
squad  for  the  "B"  team. 

These  tryouts  are  usually 
held  toward  the  latter  part  of 
October  and  are  held  during 
student  chapel  on  Monday 
before  the  student  body.  A 
committee  made  up  of  the 
athletic  committee  of  the  fac- 
ulty along  with  n  few  select-

The  STAMPEDE  Staff  would  like  !o  extend  a  hearlY 
welcome  to  the  etudents  of  Milligan  College,  and  especlal- 
,  ly  to  the  freshmen  and  transfer  students  who  have  en- 
rolled at  Milligan  for  the  first  time.  The  happy  {and  sad) 
faces,  the  bright -colored  dinks,  and  the  hard-working 
freahmen  have  changed  an  empty  and  quiet  campus  Into 
a  living  body  of  Christian  people  striving  toward  the 
completion  of  a  goal  they  have  set  for  themBolvea.  In  the  . 
past  few  days  the  renewed  and  newly  found  Milligan 
Spirit  has  echoed  through  the  halls  and  spread  across  the 
campus  enabling  every  student  and  faculty  member  lo 
'  feel  its  meaning.  Milligan  has  opened  her  doors  lo  you; 
let  us  strive  not  lo  fall  short  of  the  goals  we  have  set  In 
order  that  the  school  year  of  1958-59  may  be  the  'Taest  yet." 


A  Spirit   Rules   My  School- 


-iO   ■-:;■:

I've  heard  a  spirit  rules  my  school, 

And  yet  I've  never  found  "'''".s

But  believe  in  what  I  hear.     ,         '    ;/,-    '-' ;    .--,:^    !;. 

'  Then  hushed  my  whirling  thoughts 

Because  as  figures  my  attention  claimed;    ■  ■   _  ■ ,    -■ 
"Who  are  you,  why  have  you  thus  come? 
I  only  wonder  what  I've  done  ...  to  warrant  such  as  you." 

"Fear  pot,"  the  solemn  figure  said, 

"I  am  a  student  of  the  past. 
I  too  have  walked  these  hallowed  halls, 
Have  looked  upon  these  brick-clad  walls. 
Have  lived  and  loved  and  filled  my  task,  in 

ages  long  ago:" 

"This  spirit  reigns  not  where  you've  sought,     ' 
But  in  the  students  yearning  heart."  .

Discussing   things   as   they're

listen,  you  two. 

Here's  a  rumor  that  can't

Who  ever  heard  of  a  mother

Forbidding  all  other  monks

What    To  Be?   A    Teacher 

Soon  some  400,000  college  graduates  will  be  job  hunting. 
Many  of  these  will  be  from  liberal  arts  colleges  with  a  good 
basic  education.  Unfortunately  when  describing  themselves 
for  prespective  employers,  many  graduates  will  find  it  diffi- 
cult to  describe  what  they  have  to  offer  for  lack  of  specific 
training.  Some  companies  prefer  to  train  their  own  personnel 
and  are  glad  to  lake  an  alert,  intelligent,  pleasing  young  per- 
son with  a  good  college  record  and  give  him  a  chance  to  learn 
while  earning. 

As  the  teaching  field  is  wide  open,  a  summer  course 
might  pave  the  way  after  graduation  for  those  who  had  no 
teacher  training  in  college.  This  does  not  mein  that  teaching 
should  be  chosen  as  a  career  just  because  there  is  a  shortage, 
but  knowing  there  is_  a  need,  teaching  might  offer  just  the 
right  opportunity  for'the  right  person.        ■  » 

Not  every  educated  person  can  teach,  but  a  person  well 
grounded  in  good  basic  courses  can  readily  learn  methods 
and  techniques  of  imparting  that  knowledge  to  others  if  the 
desire  to  do  so  is  present.

SPORTS    REVIEWS 


PAST 


INTEREST  SHOWN  IN  GIRL'S  INTRAMURALS  . .  . 

Throughout  the  past  years  'the  girls  haV»  shown  much 
interest  in  the  intramural  program  at  Milligan  College.  Vol- 
leyball opens  the  season  as  the  fall  sport  ft^lowed  by  basket 
ball  in  the  winter  and  softbaU  in  the  spring.  A  number  of 
girls  "sign-up"  for  the  participation  In  these  sports  and  show 
much  ability  in  this  phdse  of  Milligan  life.  ' 

I    Mrs.  Bowers,  our  new  physical  education  instructor'for 

.  women,  has  many  wonderful  and  interesting  plans  for  the 

intramural  activities  and  the  betterment  of  them.    "We  are  in 

hopes  the  participation  In  thfse  sports  will  increase  this  year. 

BOYS'  INTRAMURALS  POPULAR  AT  MILLIGAN  .  .  . 

The  intramural  department  is  also  popular  with  the' boys 
at:  Milligan.  Not  only  one  but  two  programs  of  basketball 
have  been  scheduled  in  the  past.  One  season  begins  in  late 
fall  and  the  second  program  begins  the  second  semester.  A 
well-rounded  softball  program  is  planned  and  successfully 
carried  out  in  softbaU.  ' 

Mr.  Harold  Stout,  new  instructor  in  physical  education 
for  men.  will  be  working  with  Coach  Walker  in  the  intra- 
,  mural  department  for  men  this  year  so  plan  now  to  partici- 
pate in  this  program  for  the  men. 

HIGHLIGHT  OF. INTRAMURALS  ..  . 

Last  year  an  All-Star  team  from  the  girls'  intramural 
basketball  teams  was  chosen  along  with  an  All-Star  team' 
from  the  boys'  intramural  basketball  teams.  A  game  was 
played  between  the  two  teams  according  to  girls'  rules  with 
the  exception  of  unUmited  dribble.  A  good  time  was  enjoy- 
ed by  all. ' 

EXPECTATIONS  HIGH  FOR  THE  ROtJNDBALL  "BUFFS" 

The  Milligan  "Buffs"  are  expected  to  surpass  the  teams 
of  the  past  for  we  have  six  returning  lettermen  out  of  last 
year's  eleven,  the  same  spirit  and  enthusiasm  from  our  two 
victories  over  State,  and  new  material'in  the  freshman  class 
The  "Buffs"  have  lost,  through  graduation,  Co-captaip 
Sonny  Smith,  all  VASCA  team,  all.SMAC  team,  and  all- 
tourney  teams  for  both  conferences.  Pat  Murphy,  trans- 
ferred to  Union  College  in  Barboucville,  Kentucky;  Chuck 
Aitken  did  not  return  to  Milligan;  and  CarroU'Buck  dropped- 
out  of  school  last  spring.  The  record  for  last  year's  "Buffs"

Getting  the  Breaks 

Seldom  Blind  Luck 

The  men  who  get  the  breaks 
usually  earn  them!  Tad,  the 
famous  cartoonist,  said  that  a 
man  may  work  (or  twenty  years 
an'd  -then  suddenly  become  fa- 
mous in  twenty  minutes.  In 
twenty  minutes  he  gets  the 
breaks,  but  there  are  twenty 
^^eara  of  work  behind  Ihcm. 

O.  Henry  wrote  for  years  with- 
out being  able  to  sell  a  single 
story.  At  the  time  it  probably- 
seemed  to  him  that  he  was  doing 
work  without  being  paid  for  it. 
Gradually  he  became  a  maaler 
craftsman.  Then  he  began  to  get 
the  breaks.  He  collected  for  his 
years  of  toil  at  a  rate  as  high  as 
a  dollar  a  word. 

I  c&tlcd  on  Q  sales  manager  re- 
cently whose  firm  Is  working 
day  and  night,  employing  hun- 
dreds of  men.  "Our  plant  is  busy 
now,"  ho  aald,  "because  even 
when  times  were  the  hardest  wo 
kept  pounding  away.  Wc  made 
calls.  We  sowed  the  seeds  of  ser- 
vice. Now,  we  are  harvesting  the 
rewards  of  our  faith  and  work." 

Getting  the  breaks  is  seldom  a 
matter  of  blind  luck.  Behind  the 
breaks  ore  usually  years  of  toil, 
study,  courage,  faith.  When  we 
deserve  the  breaks  they  are  most 
likely  to  come.

Cheerleaders  Selected 

On  Monday,  October  27,  1958, 
a  squad  consisting  of  seven  stu- 
dents were  selected  to  lead  the 
student  body  in  yells  at  the  bas- 
ketball games  for  1958-59.  These 
students  were  Ruth  Hammack. 
Frank  Parker.  Joann  Hines,  Kitty 
Kraft,  Joy  Fisher,  Anita  Hiner, 
and  Willis  Warrender. 

Alternates  were  also  chosen  to 
substitute  for  the  varsity  and 
cheer  for  the  "B"  team  games. 
They  are  Earl  Eid30n,'Pat  Combs 
and  Doris  Whitesel.  The  squad 
chose  Ruth  Hammack  to  be  their 
captain. 

The  cheerleaders  were  chosen 
on  the  basis  of  the  skill  they  dis- 
played, the  response  of  the  stu- 
dents to  their  individual  skills 
and  their  group  participation,' 
general  appearance,  personality, 
and  grades. 

With  the  help  of  the  Varsity 
Voices  and  the  rest  of  the  stu- 
dent body,  the  cheerleaders  will 
bo  lending  the  yells  throughout 
the  basketball  season. 


Twirp  Week  More 
Fun  Than  Ever 

"Twirp  for  a  Day"  was  one  of 
the  highlights  of  the  noon  court 
held  each  day  during  Twirp 
Week,  October  6-11.  The  girls 
who  wore  the  "I'm  a  Twirp"  sign 
during  each  afternoon  of  the 
week  were  Elaine  Sparks.  Wanda 
Stofferan    and   Millie   I'umer. 

This  "honor"  was  achieved  by 
disobeying  one  of  the  rules  set 
up  for  Twirp  Week  by  the  junior

Students  Take  Annual 
Smoky  Mountain  Trip 

Friday,  the  seventeenth  of  Oc- 
tober at  8:30  a.m.,  three  busloads 
of  students  left  on  the  annual 
Smoky  Mountain  trip.  The  places 
visited  this  year  were:  Gatlin- 
burg,  Ctingman's  Dome,  the  Pio- 
neer farmstead,  the  Cherokee  In- 
dian Reservation,  and  Asheville. 
North  Carolina. 

On  Clingman's  Dome,  a  group 
of  the  students  decided  to  go  on 
top  of  tthe  mountain  to  enable 
themselves  to  see  more  of  the 
countryside.  They  were  at  an 
elevation  of  6,643  ft;  but  one 
member  of  tthe  group  decided 
to  climb  a  20-foot  tree  in  order 
to  have  a  little  better  view. 

One  of  the  buses  had  trouble 
and  did  not  arrive  until  an  hour 
after  'the  other  buses.  Favorable 
comments  on  the  trip  were  heard 
from  the  students  on  the  next 
day- 


Students  Visit 
Local  Scliools 

Mr.  Tappa's  Music  in  Element- 
ary Schools  Class  recently  visitcni 
the  first,  third,  and  fourth  grades 
music  class  at  Happy  Valley  for 
fifteen  minutes  each.  Here  they 
observed  the  first-hand  teaching 
of  an  experienced  elementary 
music  teacher  and  her  methods 
of  teaching. 

The  Eelementary  Materials  and 
Methods  Class  under  Miss  Bar- 
thold  visited  Slratton  Element- 
ary School  and  E.T^.C.  Training 
School. 

At  Stratton  School  the  ma- 
terials, such  as  readiness  and  in- 
telligence tests  and  charts,  were 
demonstrated  by  Mrs.  Guy  Cakes, 
the  fir^t-grade  teacher. 

The  methods  of  teaching,  such 
as  phonetics,  were  seen  in  the 
'second  grade  at  the  Training 
School-  After  this  observation, 
the  class  was  shown  the  Chil- 
dren's Literature  LibrBiy  at 
E.T.S.C. 

Both  classes  plan  future  trips 
to  other  nearby  schools.

Do  You  Value  Your  Time? 

By  Pat  Combs 

"A  craven  hung  along  the  battle's  edge, 
And  thought,  'Had  I  a  sword  of  keener  steel- 
That  blue  blade  that  the  King's  son  bears,  but  this 
Blunt  thing!'  he  snapt  and  flung  it  from  his  hand, 
And  lowering  crept  away  and  left  the  field." 

This  quotation  from  the  poem  "Opportunity"  by  Edward 
Eowland  Sill 'well  illustrates  the  fact  that  too  many  are  prone 
to  give  up  before  they  even  try.  Young  people  come  to  col- 
lege and  decide,  after  a  few  weeks,  that  only  the  "brains" 
make  good  grades.  Therefore,  they  quit  the  task  they  assign- 
ed themselves  when  they  entered  college,  with  the  feeble 
excuse  of  not  being  smart  enough. 

A  few  of  the  members  of  the  student  body,  chosen  for 
"the  purpose  of  voicing  the  opinions  of  the  student  body,  have 
been  trying,  for  the.  past  few  weeks,  to  accomplish  a  means 
by  which  the  "give-up"  attitude  can  ,be  remedied.  That  is, 
stewardship  of  the  precious  time  that  God  has  loaned  to  us 
to  use  wisely  and  to  the  best  of  our  ability. 

The  student  council  members  started  this  improvement 
plan  with  much  enthusiasm.  Posters  have  been  made  and 
placed  in  the  halls  to  help  illustrate  the  importance  of  bud- 
geting time  wisely.  A  questionnaire  was  prepared  and  passed 
out  in  chapel  with  questions  designed  to  make  one  stop  and 
ask  yourself,  "Am  I  a  student,  or  merely  a  pupil?" 

These  are  only  a  few  of  the  many  things  being  done  in 
the.'!e  past  few  weeks.  Much  planning  and  hard  work  have 
gone  into  this  matter  of  encouraging  good  study  habits,  but, 
as  is  true  with  any  undertaking,  it  takes  full  co-operation 
on  the  part  of  every  individual  concerned — which  means,  the 
entire  family  of  Milligan  College! 

"Then  came  the  king's  son,  wounded,  sore  bested, 

And  weaponless  and  saw  the  broken  sword. 

Hilt  buried  in  the  dry  and  trodden  sand, 

And  ran  and  snatched  it,  and  with  battle-shout     ' 

Lifted  afresh  he  hewed  his  enemy  down,' 

And  saved  a  great  cause  that  heroic  day." 

LITTLE  MANONXAMPUS 

\ '  Z  5s? 


DIG  THIS! 

"It's  always  a  lovely  day  at 
MiUigan,  Madam. *^  Some  re- 
cently oriented  Freshman  pro- 
foundly stated.  Some  Milligan 
students'  prefer  to  call  them 
"hectic  days"  rather  than 
lovely!  All  in  all,  the  many 
things  that  happen  to  each  of 
us  have  lovely  connotations 
even  If  we  fail  to  see  them  at 
the  moment.      ' 

It's  really  a  shame  about  the 
decrease  in  the  "eligible  male 
population"  of  this  commun- 
ity! Andy  Brinkley  started 
this  madness  when  he  put  that 
sparkler  on  Joan  Vance's 
finger.  Eric  Crites  even  for- 
got where  he  left  his  car  the 
night  Luella  Lewis  agreed  to 
become  his  Mrs.  Donna  Ward 
was  extremely  surprised  to 
find  a  djamond  ring  wrapped 
in  a  headlight  package  which 
Dave  Poorman  presented  to 
her.  Jan  Rinnert  proved  she 
really  is  capable  of  leading 
the  girl's  division  of  student 
government  when  she  appear- 
ed wearing  a  ring  which  stat- 
ed that  she  is  engaged  to 
Roger  Sizemore.  Sandy  Tay- 
lor and  Ray  Shepherd  are 
latest  additions  to  the  "En- 
i  gaged  Class." 

Our  congratulations  also  go 
to  Laura  Hamilton  and  Guy 
Brown  who  are  now  officially 
"going  steady."  Annette  Hurt 
and  that  hula  hoop  managed 
to  start  a  fan  club. 

John  Barkes  isn't  doing  too 
badly  with  Judy  Sparks!  Nice 
going,  Mississippi!  Also  one 
"Flippy"  freshman  girl  seem- 
ed to  make  the  most  out  of 
Twirp  Week!  'Smooch'  should 
know  what  we're  speaking  of!  , 

Oh,  yes,  we  couldn't  forget 
Ted  Kinsel!  About  three  or 
four  weeks  ago  it  seems  he 
sang  at  a  wedding!  Our  best 
wishes  to  Donna  and  Don' 
Sheperd!  We  would  tell  what 
we  l^now  about  Ted  and  his  , 
trip  to  North  Carolina  about 
a  month  ago  but  we  don't 
have  the  space!  (Lucky  ,for 
you,  Ted).  ' 

Poor  Miss  Barthold!  She 
has  gracefully  taken  more 
embarrassment  than  any  love- 
ly young  faculty  member 
should  have  to  take.  We  only 
tease  those  we  love,  Miss  Bar- 
thold! 

Mrs.  Ritz  and  Professor  Hy- 
ier  were  talked  into  making 
candy  for  the  "Barn-Warm- 
ing"—  and  their  handiwork 
came  out  under  the  title  of 
"Hyder's  and  Ritz's  Goodies." 
Some  thought  this  stood  for 
the  industrious  students  in 
Prof.  Hyder's  math  classes 
and  the  tardy  student  help  in 
Miss  Ritz's 'kitchen. 

Surely  every  day  is  a  love- 
ly day  at  Milligan— at  least 
there's  never  a  dull  a;noment 
to  break  the  monotony  of  this 
hectic  life!  .  ,

,  A  STUDENT'S  WARNING 

By  Joanne  Hlnes 

I  There  was  a  young  student  , 

in  Tennessee's  hills, 
Who  worked  for  his  culture 
By  tending  Stahl's  stills. 

He  slaved  o'er  his  homework, 

Led  the  best  in  his  class,        ' 
But  as  Fate  would  have  it 

He  met  a  young  lass.    ,  • 

He  moped  and  he  mumbled; 
,  Now,  nothing  seemed  right,  . 

I  Until  this  young  lady 

Would  come  into  sight. 

Oh,  Tennessee  moonlight's  »  ' 

Quite  lovely,  it's  true; 
But  when  that  moon  hits  you, 
'  Young  scholar,  you're  through! 


/ 
By  Connie  Foster 


From  whence  she  came,  she  told  them  all; 
In  the  northland  she  was  bred, 
But  whither  for  she  wandered  south, 
That  she  never  said. 


THAT  SINKING  FEELING 


Land  of  lakes  and  land  of  pines. 
Her -north,  beloved  home; 
She  left  the  only  land  she  knew, 
And  onward,  southward,  roamed. 


I 


Her  family  lover  her  more  than  life, 
And  she  loved  them  as  well, 
But  yet  she  broke  three  hearts  as  one, 
And,  why,  could  never  tell. 

A  lad  there  was  who  loved  her,  too, 
A  boy  of  northern  brawn 
Who  wanted  nothing  else  but  her. 
And  stil  she  traveled  onl 


It  must  have  been  an  inner  force 
that  guided  her  that  way. 
For  though  she  grieved  to  say  good-bye. 
She  knew  she  could  not  stay. 

I  She  rode  a  long,  sad,  lonely  way, 
f  And  wept  for  hours  each  night, 
I  Until  that  morn  she  rose  to  see 
That  Dixie  was  in  sight! 

Oh,  glorious  land,  oh.  bcaulious  land.    ' 

Land  of  magnolia  trees, 

How  could  she  ever  wish  again 

For  the  land  of  the  winter  freeze? 


And  yet  it  came,  the  loneliness. 
As  she'd  been  warned  it  would. 
It  tore  hor  heart  and  drew  her  teai-s; 
Console  her,  no  one  could. 


Untilshe  met  a  fine  young  man 
Who  shared  her  misery, 
But  said  that  he  had  found  himself 
In  those  hills  of  Tennessee.     , 
\  ' 

Said,  here  he'd  found  where  he  belonged^ 
,Thot  it  was  hard  to  do; 
.  And  then  he  said  as  he"  looked  at  her, 
'■"You  belong  here,  too!"  " 

And  ihough  the  lonesome  pang,  it  grcWk- 
Back  north  (she  would  not  flee, 
For  now  she  knew  why  she  was  here. 
And  she  loved  her  Tennessee!

Worship  on  the  Lord^s  Day 

"Except  ye  partake  of  my  body 
Ye  have  not  life  but  are  dead." 
Thus  spake  the  Lord  of  creation; 
Giving  Himself  for  my  stead. 
Pouring  His  blood  out  on  Calv'ry 
To  bring  to  my  soul  living  bread. 

Then  taking  the  cup  from  the  table. 

He  blest  it  and  gave  it  to  man. 

"This,"  He  said,  "Do  in  my  mem'ry, 

Until  ye  shall  see  me  again. 

Thus  shall  ye  show  forth  salvation 

For  which  God's  pure  lamb  has  been  slain. 

And  when  we  were  gathered  together, 
To  eat  the  feast  of  the  Lord; 
The  man  of  God  stood  before  us, 
Wielding  the  sword  of  the  Word, 
To  bring  us  a  message  from  Heaven 
The  Gospel  that  angels  have  heard! 

And  now  I  arise  and  go  forward, 
To  tell,  by  my  life  of  my  God 
Whose  Son  has  purchased  salvation 
In  places  where  Satan  has  trod. 
For  He  is  coming  to  gather 
His  own,  even  those  'neath  the  sod.

Founders  Day  Inside  Info' 

Well,  Founder's  Day  is  here  again,  and  everyone  is  busy 
decorating,  cleaning,  caiiipnigning,  and  li-ymg  to  keep  up  with 
studies.  There  has  been  noUiing  but  organized  contusion  for 
the  past  two  weeks. 

ivy  is  going  mad  trying  to  catch  the  candidates  for  Found- 
er's Daughier  long  enough  to  snap  their  pictures.  Miss  Turbe- 
ville nearly  missed  her  bus  while  planning  the  program  for 
the  big  night. 

The  Barter  Production,  November  14,  was  a  hit  with  the 
students,  faculty,  and  guests  who  filled  the  auditorium  to 
capacity.  I'here  were  several  present  in  Sutton  Hall  following 
the  play  to  enjoy  an  informal  reception. 

In  spite  of  all  the  excitement  on  campus,  there  arc  still 
some  people  who  are  just  never  satisfied.  June  Love  wants 
to  join  a  liaternity  at  State  College  and  Joanne  Swinford  has 
been  trying  to  catch  a  fast  plane  for  Texas.  Johnny  Barkes 
must  be  guing  mermaid  hunting  soon — he's  making  an  aqua- 
lung. Dianne  Thompkins  has  been  following  others  through 
the  lunch  line  and  looking  mighty  hungry.  Poor  Elamc,  she 
has  to  be  satisfied  here  on  campus— with  that  peg  leg  she 
can't  get  away! 

Many  of  our  students  here  were  made  very  happy  today 
with  the  arrival  of  their  loved  ones.  Among  these  lucky  few 
is  our  own  feature  editor,  CF! 

Turning  our  attention  to  Hardin  Hall  now.  we  hoar  that 
the  manner  of  nnswcring  the  phone  has  been  iiltered  slight- 
ly since  PqI  Picklesimer  has  been  heard  grccling  unsuspecting 
callers  with,  "Hardin  Hall,  who  in  the  hall  do  you  want?" 

In  Hardin  Hall's  "going  steady"  department,  the  follow- 
ing men  have  lost  the  battle  to  the  females  as  these  gals  are 
seen  sporting  class  rings  identifying  them  with  that  certain 
guy,  Dianne  Thompkins  and  Bill  Kesner,  Dec  Gillespie  and 
Dave  Thompson.  Mary  Jane  Barkley  and  JncU  Gnidiner,  Sun- 
ny Heaton  and  Jim  Burleson,  and  Polly  Gibson  and  Gordon 
Sonler,  a  Carson-Newman  student. 

Faces  which  have  become  prominent  in  Hardin  Hall  m- 
clude  Jim  "Jingles"  Eckard  visiting  Mary  Johnson,  Ivy  visit- 
ing Janice  Martin,  and  Dale  Jacobs  visiting  Mignon  Moyfield. 
Look  out  toys— what  happened  to  the  above  may  happen  to 

Welcome  back  wishes  arc  extended  to  Dianne  Thompkins 
who  has  nrturncd  from  an  eleven-day  slay  in  Johnson  City 
Memorial  Hospital.  _,   „  r 

Shriek',  were  heard  penetrating  from  llic  second  floor  of 
Hardin  Ha  1  last  Wednesday  evening  as  darkness  prevailed. 
Careful  investigation  by  Jane  McGill  found  the  "lights  out 
situation  to  be  a  blown  fuse.  Soon,  however,  brave  Jim  Stid- 
ham  came  to  the  rescue  of  the  helpless  little  females  as  he 
roplaced  the  fuse  and  the  frightened  girls  had  lighLs  again! 

Happy  Days!  Let's  take  note  of  the  comments  of  many 
former  Milligan  students—"  ,  ,  .  we  must  appreciate  every 
minute  of  tur  lives  here,  as  time  soon  takes  us  nway.  We  must 
make  our  time  count  here  and  nowl"  Remember,  girls,  even 
if  you  don't  get  a  B.S  or  a  B.A.  there's  always  the  MRS.  degree!

uals    who    could    not    come    to 
the  Tuesday  evening  perform- 
ance.  The    play   will    bo    open 
to  the  public   without   charge. 

"The  Coming  of  Christ,"  was 
written  by  the  poet-laureate 
of  England.  John  Masefield. 
'fhc  central  theme  of  the  play 
is  the  announcement  of  the 
birth  of  Christ,  who  comes  in- 
to the  midst  of  the  people  on 
earth  to  be  their  King  and  to 
show  the  way  to  God  and  His 
heavenly  kingdom.  The  play 
is  divided  into  three  phases 
or  centers  of  action  and  dia- 
logue. The  first  phase  depicts 
a  debate  carried  on  by  Christ 
and  the  heavenly  spirits  in 
which  (ilhrist  is  forced  to  de- 
fend his  decision  that  the  sal- 
vation of  mankind  can  be 
achieved  through  his  ministr>' 
and  sacrifice  on  earth  in  the 
form  of  a  man. 

The  second  phase  depicts 
the  journey  of  the  three  kings 
who  are  in  search  of  this  King 
of  Kings,  the  Child  Jesus.  Bal- 
thasar,  the  fierce,  has  conquer- 
ed all  things  except  death  and 
seeks  a  Saviour  in  this  little 
King  soon  to  be  born.  Caspar, 
the  wcol'hy.  controls  all  the 
deeds  dune  by  men,  but  can- 
not bribe  or  buy  off  the  sting 
of  death.  Melchior,  the  seer, 
has  searched  the  wisdoms  and 
religions  of  both  East  and 
West  and  is  unable  to  find  the 
answer  to  Life  or  Death.  Ac- 
companied by  their  attend- 
ants, they  seek  the  birthplace 
of  Jesus,  bringing  gifts  of  gold, 
frankincense  and   myrrh. 

The  drama  ends  in  a  very 
effective,  simple  movement  in 
which  Christ  is  presented  to 
all  the  people  in  the  play  and 
in  the  audience  and  enters  in 
our  midst  heralding  the  Christ- 
mas season.  Throughout  the 
piny,  a  group  of  choral  voices  I 
comment  upon  the  ideas  and 
actions  which  have  taken 
place,  much  as  a  Greek  chorus 
commented  on  the  action  in 
the  great  Greek  tragedies.  The 
English  composer,  G  u  s  t  a  v 
Hoist,  has  set  these  commen- 
tary sections  to  music  which 
the"  Milligan  Concert  Choir 
will  perform.

'Reluctant    Debutante" 

(Continued  From  Page  One) 
is  rather  bored  with  the  round 
of  parties  that  she  has  to  at- 
tend. Mrs.  Boardbcnt  is  so 
concerned  with  her  daughter's 
lack  of  interest  that  ever>' 
night  she  can  be  found  on  the 
phone  getting  a  young  man  to 
dine  with  Jane,  herself,  and 
Mr.  Broadbent.  In  the  course 
of  telephoning  a  young  man 
for  Jane,  she  get5  a  wrong 
number  and,  as  Fate  would 
liave  it.  she  doesn't  realize  it. 
So,  David  Hoylake-Johnston 
arrives  on  the  scene.  Because 
of  some  gossip  heard  from  her 
sister-in-law,  Mrs.  Broadbcni 
immediately  takes  a  dislike  to 
David.  She  would  prefer  David 
Bullock,  who.  as  Janes  des- 
cribes him,  is  "goofy."  As  most 
young  people  do,  Jane  falls  in 
love  with  the  forbidden  one. 
In  the  meantime,  David  Bul- 
lock falls  in  love  with  Jane 
and  proposes,  rather  violently. 

Jane  says  no,  of  course, 
since  she  loves  the  other 
D3\id,  Her  mother  is  simply 
Iziewildered,  but  Jane  confesses 
her  love  for  David  Hoylake- 
Johnston  to  her  loving  father. 
Mr.  Broadbent  discovers  that 
David  Hoylake-Johnston  has 
inherited  quite  a  sum  of 
money  and  that,  coupled  with 
his  natural  liking  for  the 
young  man,  turns  him  in  favor 
of  Jane's  manning  Mr.  Johns- 
ton. The  play  ends  as  it  be- 
gan with  Mrs.  Broadbent  tclc- 
Dhoning  a  young  man  to  dine 
with  Jane — this  young  man 
being  David  Hoylake  Johns- 
ton, wlio  is  now  using  his  new- 
ly inherited  title,  which  is  as 
yet  unknown  to  Mrs.  Broad- 
bent. 

A  reception  for  the  members 
of  the  cast  was  held  after  the 
play  in  the  Sutton  dining  hall. 
Decorations  were  furnished  by 
the    "Footlighters." 

There  were  415  advance 
tickets  sold  and  16  people 
bought  tickets  at  the  door.

you  arc  in."

Mr.  W.  E.  Sweeney,  from

Chapel  assembly  lo  have  an 
objective  in  life,  then  put  all 
your  energy  behind  that  one 
point  and  drive  toward  it.  He 
5aid  you  do  not  need  to  be  a 
minister  to  do  the  Lord's  will, 
which  is  to  make  disciples  of 
■.lien.  Mr.  Sweeney  concluded

CLASS    NEWS 


SENIOR  CLASS— 

'This  is  it — that  senior  year 
of  college  that  seemed  like  it 
would  never  come.  All  al  once 
this  group  on  MiUigan's  cam- 
pus find  themselves  deep  in 
the  middle  of  class  ring, 
vitations,  harder  classes,  club 
activities  (still),  and  an  at' 
tempt  lo  take  advantage  of 
all  the  activities  previously 
left  out. 

Not  a  minor  component  of 
senior  activity  is  the  final  ac- 
cumulation of  money  to  finish 
the  class  project.  The  seniors 
have  sold  stationery  and  cards, 
bakery  goods,  and  have  sev- 
eral money-making  plans  for 
the    rest    of    the    school    year. 

The  senior  class  project  will 
serve  a  two-fold  purpose:  first, 
a  memorial  to  a  beloved  class 
member,  Barbara  Main,  who 
was  an  accident  victim  last 
spring  vacation.  Secondly  an 
endowment  fund  so  that  books 
may  be  bought  from  the  en- 
dow incnl  interest  and  added 
to  the  library. 

A  special  shelf  will  be  set 
aside  for  these  books.  Money 
has  been  received  from  vari- 
ous source's,  and  the  class  i^ 
working  toward  $1,000  for  the 
fund.  We  feel  that  this  will 
be  a  living  contribution 
through  the  years  from  the 
class  of  '59. 

From  the  senior  class  come 
three  Jims  of  whom  we  arc 
proud.  Jim  Ivanoff  and  Jim 
Pierson,  whose  combined  tire- 
less efforts  promise  the  whole 
student  body  an  unforgetable 
yearbook,  and  Jim  Fisher  who 
is  doing  an  excellent  job  as 
President  of  the  student  body. 
Big  jobs,  well  handled — "Jims" 
all! 

BARBARA  TENNEY, 

Senior  class  reporter.

and  the  campus  is  decorated 
and  ready  for  the  occasion. 
Tliis  year,  something  new  in 
the  way  of  dccornlions  is  pres- 
ent. Each  class  has  taken  one 
part  of  the  campus  as  a  dec- 
oration project  and  prepared 
a  "surprise"  for  the  tomorrow's 
festivities. 

The  Freshmen  have  dec- 
orated Sutton  Hill:  The  Ad- 
ministration Building  has  been 
decorated  by  the  Sophomore 
class,  and  the  class  of  "60  has 
decorated  the  Student  Union 
Building.  This  year's  senior 
class  has  decorated  the  en- 
trance. 

These  decorations  do  not  in- 
clude the  various  posters,  etc, 
out  up  by  the  clubs  campaign-

FRESHMAN    CLASS— 

Greetings  and  solicitations 
from  the  MCFFSEPTD  (Mil- 
ligan College  Fellowship  of 
Freshmen  Students  Endeavor- 
ing to  Pay  Their  Dues): 

To  present  the  current  news 
of  the  most  illustrous  and  de- 
pleted class  of  '62,  "yours 
truly"  has  been  chosen;  so 
down  to  the  business  at  hand. 


To  mention  a  few  acts  of  mi- 
nority, the  class  has  decided 
to  establish  its  dues  at  $2.00 
I)cr  scmesler.  A  "flap- jack- 
flipping  (pan  cake  fry),  and  a 
"goodies  sale"  are  on  the 
President's  docket  for  boosting 
our  morale,  as  we  attempt  lo 
fill  the  soon-inhcriled  cavity 
of  our  treasury. 

Among  the  other  gossip 
v/hich  1  shall  direct  toward 
you  concerns  the  "Founders 
Day"  project.  If  you  haven't 
noticed  the  obvious  additions 
to  the  campus,  look  around.  It 
seems  that  we  just  couldn't 
get  enough  of  the  week  of 
Walkin-your-doggey! 

Keeping  with  Christian 
ethics,  1  am  proud  to  report 
that  Brothers  Painter  and  Rit- 
tenhouse have  been  appointed 
to  lead  us  in  our  more  spirit- 
ual moments,  as  Co-Chaplazns. 
Good  luck  gentlemen! 

Not  to  make  anyone  notor- 
ious, I'll  introduce  only  a  few 
names  and  abilities  of  out- 
standing action,  this  time. 
Such  as  our  working  commit- 
tee chairmen:  Emerson  Darst, 
leading  that  fund  raising  gang; 
Duwayne  Calhoun  in  charge 
of  the  Foimder's  Day  project; 
our  own  "Judas  Iscariot,"  Ken 
Bishop,  watching  the  treasury 
increase;  and,  last  and  indus- 
trious as  evej'  our  blushing 
sponsor,  Miss  Barthold! 

I  may  warn  you  members 
of  the  beat  generation  lo  keep 
your  eyes  and  hearing  mech- 
anisms in  tune  with  the 
"Frosh"  Choir.  "Mom"  Law- 
son  has  great  plans  for  their 
pre-Chrisimas  shindig,  so  don't 
forget  to  dig  the  blast. 

In  closing,  hats  off  to  those 
"newcomers"  on  the  hardwood 
this  year.  Men,  we'll  be  proud 
of  you  as  an  asset  with  the 
"Buffs." 

Oh.  oh,  here  comes  my  edi- 
tor with  a  trail  of  fire  and 
brimstone  burning  from  where 
she  hath  trod;  therefore,  I  had 
best  be  leaving  your  realm  of 
study  with  this  one  thought, 
"Be  good,  and  keep  your  hands 
your  cash,  Frosh;  Vic 
Brown  and  his  crew  are  on 
the  prowl  now." 

See  ya,

Spotlight  on  Student  Government 


Milligan  has  witnessed  im- 
portant steps  in  the  last  few 
months  regarding  student  gov- 
ernment. Students  CAN  BE 
actively  responsible  for  man- 
agement of  student  functions. 
United  through  representative 
government,  the  student  body 
has  displayed  that  cooperative 
action  is  not  only  possible,  but 
that  is  is  the  most  effective 
and  therefore  practical  pro- 
cedure. 

Perhaps  the  most  obvious 
and  illustrative  example  was 
shown  when  the  students  were 
asked  to  assume  sponsorship 
of  the  Barter  Theater  produc- 
tion. It  was  the  most  success- 
ful (at  least  in  the  last  four 
years)  program  of  the  annual 
concert  series,  judging  nu- 
merically, with  41.')  advance 
ticket  sales,  431  total  paid  at- 
tendance, and  upward  of  .ITf) 
at  the  reception  following.  The 
result  has  been  a  spot  light 
on    student    "response-ability." 

One  of  the  important  pro- 
tects now  being  acted  upon 
by  student  representatives  is 
the  Student  Government  Of- 
fice. At  least  there  will  be  a 
centralized  location  u'here  im- 
portant minutes  and  other 
papers  can  bo  filed,  readily 
accessable  to  those  most  im- 
mediately concerned  with 
them — the  students. 

Communication  betwcr-n  ad- 
ministration and  student  body 
be  facilitated,  and  coop- 
erative  action   will    be  made 


decorate  the  dining  room. 

As  a  money  raising  project, 
the  Class  of  '62  is  selling 
candy  to  all  parents,  alumni, 
and  students  who  wiU  buy. 


more  possible.  I'he  third  room 
on  the  left  as  you  enter  the 
south  door  of  the  ground  floor 
of  Hardin  Hall  is  the  room 
that  has  been  designated  for 
this  purpose.  The  students  will 
be  entirely  responsible  for 
whatever  improvements  go  in- 
to the  room;  therefore,  tenta- 
tive plans  call  for  only  the 
barest  essentials  of  furniture. 
The  long-range  plan  will  pro- 
vide pine  panelling  on  the 
walls,  acoustical  tile  on  llie 
ceiling,  and  rubber  tile  on  the 
floor,  furnished  with  a  desk, 
chaii-s.  and  filing  cabinets.  This 
is  one  of  the  avenues  by  which 
a  more  effective,  business-like 
student  government  may  he 
lealized.  in  order  that  student5 
may  have  a  more  concerted 
voice  in  student  affairs. 

Where  will  it  lead?  Or  as 
some  ask,  where  will  it  end? 
Student  government  moves 
within  a  definite,  prescribed 
area.  Outside  of  that  area  it 
becomes  inappropriate  and 
could  only  lead  to  anarch v 
(even  though  some  medieval 
universities  successfully  had 
the  students  hire  and  fire  the 
Drofcssors).  However,  if  it  is 
confined  to  responsibility 
smaller  than  that  area,  ineffi- 
ciency, discontent,  and  a  poor- 
er learning  atmosphere  result. 
The  whole  campus,  faculty  and 
student  alike,  is  beginning  to 
awaken  to  these  facts.  The  fu- 
ture holds  a  better  Milligan. 
if  slowly,  step  by  step,  we 
progress  toward  the  goal  of 
adequate  student  government.

again!  If  you  will  slop  by  the 
gym  around  seven  o'clock  on 
Monday  or  Wednesday  night, 
you  will  see  ten  students 
working  hard  on  cheers  and 
yells  for  the  basketball  sea- 
son which  opens  Thanksgiv- 
ing night  against  Tusculum. 
I'he  team  consists  of  three  re- 
turning cheerleaders  and  seven 
newcomers.  The  cheerleaders 
were  interviewed  and  asked 
about  the  school  spirit. 

Ruth  Hammack,  a  junior 
from  Radford,  Virginia,  was 
elected  captain  of  the  cheer- 
leaders for  the  1958-59  season. 
Ruth,  a  third-year  varsity 
leader,  says  that  the  school 
spirit  should  be  better  than 
ever  this  year  with  the  pros- 
pective team  we  have. 

Frank  Parker,  a  second- 
year  varsity  leader  from  Or- 
lando, Florida,  says  that  he 
hopes  wc  can  maintain  the 
high  spirit  that  prevailed  in 
the  State  games  last  year 
through  the  season.  He  hopes 
to  see  the  whole  student  body 
and  faculty  backing  the  team 
at  home  as  well  as  at  the  away 
games. 

Anita  Hines,  a  sophomore, 
from  Central  City,  Pa.,  and  a 
newcomer  to  the  squad,  states 
:i  chemical  equation  for  bas- 
'.ctball:  Buffalo  Team  plus 
MiUigan  spirit  equals  VIC- 
TORY. 

Willis  Warrender.  a  new- 
comer on  the  team  from  Har- 
rison, Ohio,  states  that  we 
have  the  material  for  a  really 
good  team  this  year  and  with 
olenty  of  backing  from  the 
■students  we  just  CANT  lose. 
Kitty  Kraft  states  that  our 
cheering  section  has  the  en- 
thusiasm: all  tncy  need  is  to 
express  it.  Kitty  is  also  a  new- 
comer and  sophomore  at  Mil- 
lig.Tn. 

Joanne  Hines.  a  sophomore 
from  Lizton,  Ind..  nnd  a  sec- 
ond-vcor  leader,  says  that  if 
the  students  will  back  the 
cheerleaders,  then  the  two  to- 
gether can  push  the  players 
on  to  a  successful  basketball 
season. 

Doric  Whitesel,  another 
newcomer  from  Ashland, 
Ohio,  and  also  a  sophomore, 
personally  thinks  that  we  are 
going  lo  have  one  of  the  best 
teams    that    Milligan    College 


peraliou  of  tlic  stuOenls  and 
cheerJcaders,  we  can  cheer 
the  team  to  many  victories. 

Joy  Fisher,  a  freshman  with 
her  home  now  in  Upper  Hay- 
ford,  England,  says  that  from 
what  she  has  seen  of  our  team 
and  the  enthusiasm  of  the  stu- 
dent body  she  believes  this 
basketball  season  will  be  a 
very  big  success. 

Earl  Eidson,  a  newcomer  and 
sophomore  from  College  Park, 
3eorgia,  feels  that  we  have 
enthusiasm  for  sports  but  as 
far  as  real  school  spirit,  ho 
doesn't  believe  we  have  very 
much.  With  a  little  extra  ef- 
fort on  evei*y one's  part,  it 
could    bo    improved,    he   said. 

Pat  Combs,  a  freshman 
from  Fountain  City.  Tennes- 
see, sums  up  the  matter  of 
school  spirit  in  this  quotation 
by    Richard    Hovey — 

"Laugh  and  the  world  laughs 

with  you, 
Weep  and  you  weep  alone, 

For  the  sad  old  earth  has  need 
of  your  mirth. 

It  has  teal's  enough  of 
its  own." 

Pat  says  that  she  believes 
that  this  is  truly  practiced 
here  at  Milligan,  because, 
without  happiness,  there  is  no 
spirit. 

All  the  cheerleaders  ask  that 
each  of  you  please  give  the 
team  the  support  that  it  de- 
serves. Remember,  this  is  your 
school  and  vour  basketball 
team.  See  YOU  at  the  fii-st 
game.

iFinter  Wonderland  I! 

The  week  after  Christmas  vaca- 
tion was  over  snow  covered  the 
Milligan  campus.  Following  a 
"Study  Break"  at  Hardin  parlor 
Saturday,  January  10,  some  of 
the  students  were  seen  sliding 
down  the  walk  past  the  prosl- 
xlent's  house  on  dust  pans  and 
■other  objects  of  "sleighing  abil- 
ity." 

January  5  brought  the  second 
«now  of  the  year.  Since  the  stu- 
dents were  out  of  classes  for 
finals,  they — if  their  schedules 
allowed — had  more  time  for 
sleighing.  The  rond  from  Sutlon 
Hill,  which  was  Iced  oil  the  way 
down,  was  the  scene  of  the  sleigh 
rides.  Added  to  the  above  list  of

Men's  Dormitory  Under  Construction; 
To  House  176  Students  In  2-Room  Suites 


A  new  boys'  dormitory  ready 
for  occupation  by  September  is 
the  prayer  of  Milligan  College. 
The  ground  was  broken  for  the 
beginning  of  construction  on  De- 
cember 31,  1958.  The  dormitory 
is  a  gift  from  Mrs.  Narmye  Bishop 
Sutton,  class  of  1900,  of  Radford, 
Virginia.  This  U  not  the  first 
time  Mrs.  Sutton  has  helped  to- 
ward the  improvement  of  Mil- 
ligan College.  In  1955,  Sutton 
Hall,  which  houses  the  girls'  dor- 
mitory and  the  cafeteria,  was 
built  in  honor  of  her  late  hus- 
band, Webb  Pierce  Sutton. 

The  new  dormitory  will  be  lo- 
cated behind  the  present  site  of 
Stahl  Hall,  which  will  be'  re- 
moved. The  building  will  be  fur- 
nished much  like  Sutton.  It  will 
house  17S  boys  in  two-room 
suites.  There  will  be  three  floors 


with  a  lobby  of  45'  by  40'  on  the 
first  two  floors.  An  Intercom 
system  will  be  connected  to  all 
floors.  The  dorm  will  boast  a 
laundry  room,  o  recreation  room, 
and  a  large  storage  room  on  each 
floor.  An  office  will  be  reserved 
on  the  first  floor  for  the  resident. 
The  apartment  for  the  resident 
will  be  as  Dean  Cakes  said,  "Par 
excellent." 

The  architecture  will  be  In 
keeping  with  the  rest  of  the  cam- 
pus, the  southern  style  with  the 
large  columns  on  the  front.  The 
contract  wos  awarded  to  the 
Jones  firm  of  Morristown,  who 
submitted  the  low  bid  of  $360,000. 
The  architects  are  Beeson  and 
Beeson  of  Johnson  City,  the  same 
architects  who  designed  Sutton 
Hall.

This  year  the  administration 
announced  that  the  final  testing 
period  would  last  from  January 
12  to  January  21.  This  extension 
gave  the  students  an  opportunity

about  three  and  one-half  miles  south  of  the  Milligan  Campus.  It

And  prove  that  Z  equals  Y.

That  Is  the  rule,  I  guess. 

Algebraically  when  I  say 
"no"  twice, 

I  really  do  mean  "yes."

ROUNDBALL  ROUND-UP... 


The  Milligan  College  Buffaloea 
are  completing  their  basketball 
season  and  have  this  month 
showTi  improvements  in  moat  of 
their  games.  "Hie  Buffs  hit  a 
slump  over  Chriatmaa  vacation 
but  have  made  some  improve- 
ment since  the  vacation.  Their 
most  impressive  win  since  vaca- 
tion was  the  January  23  win 
over  Tennessee  Wealeyan  on  the 
Buffs'  home  court.  , 

A  look  into  the  future  finds 
the  Buffs  with  two  home  games 
and  no  away  game  remaining 
plus  the  V.S.A.C.  Tourney  at 
Nashville.  The  Milligan  cagers 
have  faced  all  their  remaining 
opponents  in  earlier  games  of 
the  season.  EmOry  and  Henry 
has  made  steady  improvements 
since  their  first  meeting  with  the 
Milligan  five. 

Union  College  has  not  been 
beaten  In  the  S.M.A.C.  and  Car- 
aon-Newmnn  has  not  been  beaten 
in  the  V.S.A.C.  conference.  Union 
College  turned  the  tables  on 
Carson-Newman  and  gave  them 
a  good  beating  and  the  Carson- 


Newman  five  nipped  the  Buffs 
at  Jefferson  City  just  before 
Christmas  vacation,  and  here 
also.-'  ■'  ■  ':;:■■"    '-■ 

Milligan  defeated  the  Emory 
and  Henry  Wasps  in  November 
at  a  charity  game  in  Coebum, 
Virginia,  85-78.  Harris  and  Ellis 
led  the  Buffs  and  the  Wasps,  le«I 
by  Farley  and  Lewis,  caused  the 
game  to  go  into  a  double  over- 
time. 

Ellis  sparked  our  fifth  victory 
with  31  points  in  the  second 
game  with  Emory  and  'Henry. 
The  Buffs  were  victorious  by  a 
margin  of  89-82. 

In  a  rough  game  ot  Tusculum 
College,  the  Pioneers  defeated 
the  Buffaloes,  89-74.  Harris  and 
Tester  had  25  and  15  points  re- 
spectively. 

The  Lincoln  Memorial  Univer- 
sity Railsplittera  had  to  rally  late 
in  the  game  to  defeat  the  Milli- 
gan five  by  a  score  of  99-80.  Size- 
more  had  27,  EUis  had  21.  and 
Harris  netted  16.

Theme  Of  Month 
Is  "Friendship" 

This  month  the  Character 
Elmphasis  program  has  as  its 
theme  "Friendship."  The  ulti- 
mate objective  of  this  month's 
activities  will  be  an  expres- 
sion of  Milligan's  ideal  of 
friendship  and  an  application 
of  that  ideal  in  the  student- 
faculty  -  administration  rela- 
tionships. 

The  outline  of  the  program 
includes  an  extensive  study 
and  discussion  of  the  subject 
in  the  classroom  and  in  extra- 
curricular activities.  The  cul- 
mination of  this  will  be  a 
forum  discussion  by  repre- 
sentatives from  all  groups 
that  make  up  the  Milligan 
community.  Quotations  and 
questions  pertinent  to  the 
theme  are  on  the  bulletin 
board.  They  are  intended  to 
be  "thought  provokers."

*'The  Fourposter''*' 
Presented  To  StudenU 

The  Milligan  College  Audi- 
torium recently  echoed  with 
more  laughter  than  it  had 
h^ard  in  a  long  time.  The  oc- 
casion was  the  dramatic  pre- 
sentation of  "The  Fourposter." 
This  was  one  in  the  concert 
series  being  sponsored  by  the 
college  this  year. 

"The  Fourposter"  was  just 
as  enthusiastically  received 
by  its  Milligan  audience  and 
it  was  when  it  ran  on  Brod- 
way.  The  play  is  the  story  of 
a  marriage^from  the  honey- 
moon to  the  day  when  a  son- 
in-law  is  added.  Playing  the 
roles  of  Agnes  and  Michael, 
the  only  two  characters,  were

Annual  Welshimer  Lectures  Presented 

In  memon,'  of  their  father,  P,  H.  Welshimer,  Miss  Mildred 
and  Ralph  Welshimer  will  sponsor  annually  the  Welshimer 
Lectures.  Each  year  an  outstanding  minister  of  the  brother- 
hood will  be  bringing  the  lectures  to  the  students  here  at 
Milligan.  These  men  will  also  be  available  for  counciling  for 
the  ministerial  students. 

This  year's  lectures  were  presented  in  chapel  and  at  a 
banquet  held  in  Sutton  Hall  on  February  19.  The  speaker  was 
Ard  Hoven,  minister  of  the  Broadway  Christian  Church  Lex- 
ington. Kentucky.  It  is  interesting  to  note  that  brother  Hoven 
succeeds  brother  P,  H,  Welshimer  as  writer  of  the  Sunday 
School  lesson  in  the  Lookout.  In  his  lectures  the  speaker 
pointed  out  how  P.  H,  Welshimer,  who  ministered  in  the 
First  Christian  Church  in  Canton,  Ohio  for  fifty-five  years, 
exemplified  those  attributes  which  produce  a  successful  min- 
istry. 


All-Slar  Event  To  Be 
Held  In  Near  Future 

The  intramural  program 
will  hold  an  all-star  game  be- 
tween the  boys  and  girls  on 
April  17.  The  girls  elected 
twelve  girls  from  all  teams 
chosen  by  the  team  captains 
who  will  select  two  members 
of  their  various  intramural 
teams. 

The  boys  elected  two  rep- 
resentatives from  each  of 
their  teams.  Coach  Stout  has 
modified  the  rules,  "to  enable 
the  boys  to  keep  up  with  the 
girls."

ering  the  possibihties  of  pre- 
senting again  the  play.  Little 
NeU.  The  class  successfully 
presented  this  delightful  mel 
odrama  in  their  Freshman 
year.  It  is  an  old-fashioned 
melodrama  with  hero,  villian 
heroine,  heroine's  father  and 
mother,  and  the  fateful  mort- 
gage. The  play  is  made  even 
more  enjoyable  by  the  ob- 
vious mistakes  in  dialogue, 
freqp.ent  misques,  and  con- 
fidential sidespeeches. 

The  plot  is  woven  around 
the  "darling  daughter  NeU" 
and  the  mortgage  which  is 
held  by  the  sinister  Carlton 
Boinbridge.  The  hero,  Hector 
Skyscraper,  comes  to  the  res- 
cue (of  course).

Piano  Concert  Held 

The  night  of  March  3  wUl 
not  be  soon  forgotten  by  those 
who  attended  the  piano  con-

college  concert  series,  Mr. 
Yessin's  performance  was

Council. 

Mr.  Yessin  enthraUed  his 
audience  with  his  sensitive

Milligan  Receives 
j  New  Library 
Donation  Recently 

By  Ray  Slalil 

President  Dean  E.  Walker, 
Milligan  College,  has  an- 
nounced the  gift  of  a  library 
building  to  the  school.  The 
announcement  was  made  Fer- 
ruary  19,  1959,  at  the  close  of 
the  Welshimer  Lecture  Series 
by  Dr.  Ard  Hoven,  Lexington, 
Kentucky. 

The  library  is  a  gift  of  the 
T.  W.  PhUUps.  Jr.  Charitable 
Trust  and  the  Phillips  family, 
Butler,  Pa. 

The  building  will  be  named 
■'The  P.  H.  Welshimer  Mem- 
orial Library"  in  memory  of 
the  late  Dr.  P.  H.  Welshimer, 
long-time  minister  of  the 
First  Christian  Church,  Can- 
ton, Ohio. 

More  than  a  year  ago  Dr. 
Welshimer's  personal  library 
of  7,000. volumes  was  present- 
ed to  the  college  by  his  fam- 
ily. These  books  wUl  be 
housed  in  a  reserved  area  in 
the  new  buUding. 

The  new  building  wUl  house 
100,000  volumes.  It  is  being 
constructed  to  serve  a  stu- 
dent body  of  750  students. 

The  reading  area  of  the 
library  is  designed  to  furnish 
ready  access  to  stacks  for  in- 
dividual research  and  faculty 
assistance  to  student  use  of 
the  library. 

The  buUding  wiU  also  con- 
tain a  language  laboratory'.  A 
section  of  the  Ubrary  will  be 
equipped  for  micro  card  and 
micro  film  reading. 

ProWsions  are  made  for  a 
hmited  number  of  faculty 
studies  and  a  Uberal  provision 
of  student  carrels.  Several 
seminar  rooms  are  included 
for  studies  in  which  immedi- 
ate access  to  the  stacks  is  sig- 
nificant. 

The  new  library  building 
wiU  be  located  in  the  center 
of  the  campus  midway  be- 
tween the  classroom  and  dor- 
mitory areas. 

The  architecture  is  of  col- 
onial design  to  correspond 
with  the  other  buUdings  on 
the  campus.  It  is  of  fireproof 
construction  of  brick  and 
stone. 

The  architects  are  Hoffman 
and  Crumpton,  Pittsburgh, 
Pa.,  who  designed  the  T.  W.

TORIAL... 

Is  approaching  the  time  of  the  year  when  our  at- 
ii  is  turning  to  the  selection  or  the  election  of  our 
lit  leaders  for  the  coming  1959-1960  school  year. 
;ery  position  or  office  should  carefully  be  con- 
;J  from  the  four  top  offices  held  by  students  down 
!  various  committee  chairmen  in  clubs.  The  voters 
:,  give  their  support  to  students  who  will  carry  out 
'.ties  and  responsibilities  that  go  with  the  title  they 
iven.  Popularity,  friendship,  etc.,  should  not  be 
.  above  abUity  and  determination  to  improve  and 
forward. 

ur  four  top  offices,  President  and  Vice-President  of 
tudent  Council  and  the  Dormitory  Presidents,  are 
:d  well  with  strict  constitutional  provisions.  There 
ovisions  for  other  elections  also  that  must  be  strict- 
leld  during  the  process  of  electing  our  officers,

isibilities  as  does  the  treasurer.  Their  duties,  along 
nany  others,  include  keeping  the  records  and  vari- 
■ritten  reports.  A  reporter  is  given  the  duty  of

Hymn    to    Milligun 

to  Azmon.  C.  M.  "O  For  A  Thousand  Tongues") 

O  Alma  Mater,  Milllgan, 
We  stand  to  sing  thy  praise, 
And  to  our  God  in  gratitude    '        -' 
For  thee  our  voices  raise! 

This  universe  and  all  therein 
Is  one  creation  made; 
So  in  all  walks  of  life  thy  God 
Is  served  by  serving  man. 

This  then  the  hope  of  all  mankind 
Shall  now  and  ever  be. 
May  men  so  learn  this  truth  of  God, 
O  Milligan,  from  thee! 


Spectator 
Support??? 

As  we  see  the  tennis  courts 
filled  each  afternoon  and  the 
baseball  and  track  teams  run- 
ning and  taking  daily  drills,  we 
are  aware  that  the  beginning  of 
spring  sports  is  just  around  the 
comer. 

With  warm  weather  and  the 
desire^to  see  our  teams  in  action, 
student  attendance  at  our  spring 
evenls  has  always  been  good. 
ITiis  year  we  are  expecting  much 
from  our  athletes.  Coach  Thomp- 
son has  four  retummg  first  team 
men.  Other  prospects  for  the 
ladder  positions  are  good.  Coach 
Walker  has  very  good  prospec- 
tive track  men  as  a  large  number 
of  our  cindermen  of  last  year  are 
still  with  us.  The  baseball  team, 
under  their  new  coach,  Harold 
Stout,  has  been  busy  for  several 
weeks  getting  in  condition  for  a 
bright  .leason  of  play. 

As  we  attend  these  events  this 
spring,  it  will  be  a  good  thing  if 
we,  as  spectators,  remember  not 
only  good  sportsmanship,  but 
common  courtesy  to  our  team  and 
opponents. 

As  in  tennis  matches,  no  loud 
or  unnecessary  noise  should  ever 
be  made.  No  booing,  clapping, 
yelling,  etc.,  should  be  done,  with 
the  exceptance  of  clapping  for 
good  or  exceptional  shots.  On^ 
lookers  are  not  to  talk  to  the 
players  during  the  matches  or 
dispute  a  boundary  call  made  by 
either  side.  Remarks,  etc.,  go 
against  the  playing  ability  of  our 
side  as  well  as  the  opponents, 
and  it  certainly  does  not  help  to 
make  a  good  name  for  our  school. 

In  the  area  of  track,  applause 
may  be  in  good  taste  in  some 
events,  but  in  others  it  is  limited 
until  the  athlete  has  completed 
the  event.  In  preparing  to  jump, 
run.  or  throw,  a  participant  may 
be  hindered  in  his  judgment,  etc., 
by  unnecessary  noise  made  prior 
to  his  accomplishments. 

Down  on  the  baseball  diamond, 
noise  is  not  a  hinderance  to  the 
players  but  more  of  a  help.  Yell' 
ing  and  clapping  may  be  done 
as  the  spectator  so  desires,  but 
continuous  yelling  at  the  umpires 
and  opponents  is  poor  taste  and 
poor  sportsmanship. 

Spring  sports  are  to  be  enjoyed 
by  all  as  well  as  attended  by  all. 
Let  us  support  our  teams  this 
season,  not  only  in  attendance, 
but  in  good  sportsmanship  and 
courtesy  to  the  players.  The  team 
appreciates  your  encouragement, 
so  give  them  the  essential  kind 
of  support  that  helps  them  to  win.

Mr.  Yessin's  program  in- 
cluded selections  by  Schubert, 
Beethoven,  Chopin,  Mendels- 
sohn, Octavio  Pinto,  and 
Gershwin.  Pinto's  "Memories

with  a  delightful  explanation. 
In  response  to  several  curtain 
calls  by  his  enthusiastic  audi- 
ence, he  played  several  en-

Mr.  Yessin  played  with  the 
Boston  Pops  Orchestra  at  the

Big  Moose  Williams  Makes  A  Goal 

It  looked  extremely  gloomy  for  the  Buffalo  five  that  night. 
Del  Harris  couldn't  hit  the  ring  and  Ellis  wasn't  right.  ' 
Tester  had  four  fouls  on  him  before  the  half  was  o'er — 
Both  Van  Buren  and  Terry  Black  seemed  rooted  to  the  floor. 

A  pall  hung  o'er  the  gallery.     Hope  slowly  ebbed  away. 

The  score  was  70  to  59 — two  minutes  left  to  play. 

When  Slzemore  took  to  the  showers  and  the  coach  took  Tester  out, 

A  saddened  crowd  slumped  down  to  see  a  freeze  become  a  rout. 

A  stragglipg  few  got  up  to  go,  leaving  there  the  rest. 
With  hope  that  springs  eternal  within  the  human  breast. 
If  only  Big  Moose  Williams  were  out  there  on  the  floor. 
They'd  even  yet  bet  Williams  could  even  up  the  score. 

But  Williams  was  now  off  the  squad.    He  sat  there  sad  and  mute. 
Two  days  before  in  sulky  spite,  he'd  handed  In  his  suit. 
Since  then  with  card-game  critics,  he  sullenly  shifted  blame 
And  swore  he'd  never  don  a  suit  for  another  blank-blank  game. 

Now  on  the  floor  the  Milllgan  team  resolved  to  do  or  die. 
Keyed  up  to  super-human  pitch,  they  watched  the  minutes  fly. 
Wild  gestures  on  the  floor  and  bench!  Sweat  flows  a  steady  stream. 
In  fire-wagon  offense,  the  last  resort  of  the  team- 
Van  Buren  let  fly  a  counter  from  up  near  the  other  goaL 
Then  Ellis  sank  one  from  center  and  Harris  got  one  on  a  fouL 
The  crowd  was  in  a  frenzy,  howling  with  hope  once  more; 
Beating  the  backs  of  neighbors.  The  babel  became  a  near. 

Black  evaded  the  defense  and  scored  while  down  on  his  ear. 
Lew  Taylor  slipped  under  the  basket  and  added  a  thrilling  pair. 
Wild  cheers  shook  gal'ry  skylights.    All  heck  was  loose  below. 
The  score  was  tied  at  70  all  and  eleven  seconds  to  go. 

But  wait!  The  thousands  thunder  a  deafening  raucous  roar 
As  cocky  Big  Moose  Williams  comes  dashing  through  the  door. 
He  jerks  at  trunks  and  jersey,  he  gives  his  belt  a  wrench; 
Pushes  through  the  sideline  crowd  and  rushes  to  the  bench- 
He  waves  a  hand  to  cheering  fans; — nods  at  the  wild  acclaim. 
With  Coach's  consent,  he  charges  on  as  scorers  list  his  name. 
He  fixes  the  foe  with  hexing  leer; — gives  his  teammate  a  shove; 
Shakes  his  fist  and  prances  around; — pleased  at  the  cheers  above. 

Eight  thousand  eyes  are  on  him  as  he  spits  upon  the  floor. 
Four  thousand  tongues  applaud  him  as  he  waves  his  hand  for  more. 
He  stamps  his  feet;  biffs  his  palm;  pounds  upon  his  chest; 
Whirls  and  races  and  pivots  to  give  his  guard  no  rest. 

The  clock  hand  races  forward  as  a  jumper  taps  the  ball.  ' 

The  joy  or  gloom  of  thousands  now  hangs  upon  its  falL 
The  tap  goes  over  to  Williams  who's  blindly  tearing  around. 
He  rushes  it  with  a  dribble,  increasing  his  speed  each  bound. 

With  circle,  zig-zag,  and  cut  back,  he  dribbles  all  over  the  court. 
Brushes  friend  and  foe  in  his  onrush,  fearing  the  gun's  report. 
With  a  second  to  go  he  rises;  flips  the  ball  to  thundering  din, 
It  circles  the  ring  a  second  and  just  as  the  gun  pops — falls  in. 

Oh,  somewhere  in  these  favored  gyms  the  lights  are  shining  bright. 
The  band  is  playing  somewhere  and  somewhere  hearts  are  hght 
But  Buffalo  hearts  are  heavy.  The  skylights  are  still  whole. 
Williams  made  that  basket — but  it  fell  in  Ole  State's  goal.

"I  came  to  Milligan  because  I  love  the  mountains  and  the  moun- 
tain people:" 

This  statement  gives  the  purpose  of  Professor  Hughes  Thomp- 
son in  coming  to  ieach  at  Milligan.  He  was  bom  and  grew  up  at  a 
college  and  probably  wouldn't  feel  at  home  elsewhere.  His  main 
interests  are  flower  gardening  and  tennis. 

Our  literature  professor.  Dr.  Byron  Lambert,  is  from  the  state 
of  Ohio.  He  received  his  B.A.  and  M.A.  degrees  from  the  University 
of  Buffalo  and  his  Ph.D.  from  the  University  of  Chicago.  He  likes 
his  profession  so  much  that  it  is  one  of  his  main  hobbias  along  with 
mountain  trips.  He  came  to  teach  at  Milligan  so  that  he  could  fur- 
ther the  work  of  the  Christian  Church. 

One  of  Milligan's  history  professors,  Miss  Ivor  Jones,  is  a  native 
of  East  Tennessee  and  a  graduate  of  Milllgan.  She  was  principal  of 
a  high  school  before  accepting  her  teaching  position  here.  She  has  ft 
variety  of  interests  but  her  favorite  is  fishing.

Never  dragging  for  a  min- 
ute, the  production  evoked 
many  a  laugh  from  the  audi- 
ence. With  the  exception  of  a 
few  incidents,  every  scene 
was  extremely  true  to  life. 

As  far  as  entertainment 
goes,  "The  Fourposter"  stands 
out  as  a  bright  spot  in  this

uld  write  about  nothing.  You  may  think  I  am  joking, 
'  really  serious.  Shakespeare  wrote  an  entire  play

I  he  5aid.  "Nothing."  I  also  asked  Pat  Hall  and  he  too

THE  MILLIGAN  SNOOPER 

Won't  Lawson  ever  learn  not  to  trust  his  friends?  Nurses 
are  pretty  popular  this  time  of  year! 

Some  gals  get  candy  from  their  beaus,  some  get  flowers, 
and  then  there's  Janice  Martin.  Have  you  seen  the  beauti- 
ful portrait  of  Janice  which  Ivy  printed? 

Tuesday  night  the  lights  went  out, 

From  Hardin  Hall  there  arose  a  shout, 
A  giggle  here,  and  then  a  hush, 

As  some  boy  ducked  behind  a  bush.  * 

Some  girls'  turned  flashlights  on  these  boys. 

But  these  guys  made  just  too  much  noise. 
Yes,  these  cats  thought  they  had  it  made, 

Till  coach  spoiled  their  little  raid! 

P.S. — I  hear  the  administration  is  installing  gas  lighting 
next  year! 

Tina  Penley  took  it,  so  did  Max  Dugaw.  Man!  Those 
crazy  flu  germs  get  around,  don*t  they??? 

Phyllis  George  has  a  starry-eyed  look  about  her  these 
days!  I  wonder  if  a  certain  guy  named  Ken  is  the  light  be- 
hind those  stars? 

A  new  face  in  Hardin  parlor  is  that  of  Duane  Calhoun. 
We  think  that  Mary  Jane  BarkJey  is  the  cause  of  it! 

Did  any  of  you  see  a  guy  walking  around  on  a  big,  pink 
cloud  a  few  days  ago?  Well,  that  was  Todd  Matthews  when 
he  was  visited  by  his  girl,  Sonnie  Kemper,  a  Sophomore  at 
Eastern  Kentucky!    Ain't  love  grand?' 

Our  congratulations  to  Mignon  and  Dale!  They  have 
mastered  the  art  of  fussing!  They  bawl  each  other  out  in 
Spanish  so  that  neither  knows  what  the  other  is  sayingi 
They've  been  getting  along  just  fine!  Why  don't  you  try  it? 


Nancy  Sahli  also  has  Starrs  in  her  eyes, 
that  is!

kept  shaking  him  to  get  up.

The  basketball  game  between  the  varsity  of  the  north 
and  the  varsity  of  the  south  was  called  off  because  someone 
thought  that  there  would  be  too  much  rivalry!  Ya'  know, 
maybe  they  were  right! 

I  understand  that  a  certain  boy  who  lives  in  Pardee, 
won,  or  thought  he  won,  a  contest  for  a  new  car!      Word  , 
reaches  me  that  someone  talked  through  a  radio  in  his  room 
and  told  him  this  ficticious  story!  I  wonder  how  Dale  Ald- 
ridge  feels  about  this!! 

Turning  to  the  more  serious  side  of  the  life  at  Milligan, 
I  overheard  two  students  talking  last  week.  One  asked, 
"What  does  God  know?"  The  other  thought  for  a  minute 
and  said,  "What  does  God  not  know?  God  knows  everything!'" 
How  true  that  is!  I  once  read  in  a  book  somewhere,  "God 
knows  everything — and  still  loves  me!"  I  think  that  this  is 
a  marvelous  thought  and  one  which  we  can  carry  with  us 
throughout  life.  How  many  of  us  could  still  love  someone 
who  has  wronged  us?    God  can! 

Be  good.  If  you  aren't,  you  may  see  your  name  here_ 
next  time!

CRITES  AND  MAIN  TO  HEAD 
1959-'60  STUDENT  COUNCIL 

The  Milligan  College  student  body  elected  two  rising  seniors. 
Eric  Crites  and  Carl  Main,  to  head  the  Student  Council  for  the  1959- 
60  school  year  as  President  and  Vice-President  respectively.  Harold 
Kast  was  elected  Men's  Dormitory  President  and  "Teeter"  Robin- 
son was  elected  Commuting  Students'  President.  Luella  Lewis  won 
the  office  of  Women's  Dormitory  President  after  a  third  vote  to  be 
made  in  order  to  obtain  a  majority- 
Eric  Crites  defeated  David  McCord  for  this  honor.  Eric's  cam- 
paign manager  was  Jim  Stidham,  Crites  is  known  to  the  student 
body  as  this  year's  Vice-President  for  the  Student  Council.  He  is 
also  well-known  as  number  two  man  on  the  tennis  team. 

Carl  Main  won  his  election  from  Jim  Bowyer.  Carl'  is  now  serv- 
ing as  Junior  Class  President.  Kay  Pate  was  the  campaign  manager 
for  the  newly  elected  Vice-President. 

Harold  "Choppy"  Kast  and  Lucian  "Teeter"  Robinson  won  their 
titles  with  no  opposition. 

The  Women's  Dormitory  title  was  the  most  thrilling  as  it  took 
three  elections  to  name  the  new  President.  Joanne  Swinford.  Laura 
Nelle  Hamilton,  and  Luella  Lewis  were  the  candidates.  Two  elec- 
tions were  held  between  these  three  girls,  but  still  a  majority  was 
not  reached.  A  final  election  between  Laura  Nelle  Hamilton  and 
Luella  Lewis  settled  the  question  as  Luella  came  out  the  victor, 
Luella  has  worked  with  May  Day,  served  on  the  Dormitory  Council 
this  year,  and  was  the  Sophomore  Class  May  Court  representative. 
The  elections  were  carried  on  this  year  with  good  taste  and 
sportsmanship.  Congratulations  to  the  winners,  and  also,  the  op- 
ponents for  an  election  well  constructed.

The  Events  Of  Miss  Welshimer's 
Choir  Party... 

By  Janet  Matthews 

Wednesday.  April  15.  1959.  at  9:00  p.m..  anyone  not  known  to 
Milligan  would  have  thought  everyone  m  the  school  was  out  of  his 
mind.  For  in  the  lobby  of  Sutton  Hall  stood  fifteen  girls— all 
dzesBod  up  and  wearing  shower  capsl  Yes,  they  were  all  in  their 
right  minds  and  just  having  some  fun  imitating  'Poppa  Tappa's'  new 
(7)  French  Beret.  (Anyway,  it's  new  to  us).  There  were  purple,  red, 
yellow,  green  and  a  number  of  other  colors  represented  in  the 
'shower  cap  parade* — and  they  all  remained  on  during  the  party  yet 
to  come — even  the  one  Poppa  Tappa  wore,  which  actually  came  from 
Paris. 

Miss  Welshimer  sent  word  from  the  annex  that  all  was  ready 
and  Carl  Main  announced,  "Come  and  get  it!" 

There  were  tablecloths  and  two  pineapples  decorating  each  table. 
Miss  Welshimer.  with  the  help  of  Jim  Pierson,  had  prepared  sand- 
wiches. oUves  and  pickles,  brownies,  (goody!)  crackers,  cheese,  and 
punch.  Also  there  was  a  party  candy  cup  at  each  place  on  the  table. 
The  drinking  and  candy  cu[>s  were  both  white  with  violet  flowers. 

At  9:35  Jeanie  Canary  came  trotting  into  the  annex.  The  main 
comment  at  that  was,  "Miss  Canary,  how  nice  of  you  to  honor-us 
with  your  presence."  As  Jeanie  made  no  effort  to  explain  her  mys- 
terious entrance,  no  further  questions  or  comments  were  made. 

The  fun  that  followed  was  enjoyed  by  all.  Poppa  Tappa  lead  the 
choir  in  the  alma  mater,  and  dedicated  it  to  Miss  Welshimer  and 
Jim  Pierson.  Jim  told  some  'old  maid'  (career  girl,  really)  jokes  on 
Miss  Welshimer.  When  he  was  going  to  stop,  Dr.  Walker  said,  "Well, 
go  on."  But  before  he  did,  he  asked  Dr.  Walker  if  he  had  signed  the 
diplomas  yet.  (Jim  just  wanted  to  make  sure  he  would  still  get  his, 
even  if  he  did  go  on.) 

After  Jim  sit  down.  Dr.  Walker  spoke.  When  mentioning  his 
brother,  whom  we  met  in  Cambridge  City,  Indiana,  he  said  not  to 
believe  anything  he  had  said  about  Dr.  Walker  himself.  He  quickly 
added,  "There  is  one  black  sheep  in  every  family,"  referring  to  his 
brother.  Millie  Turner  answered  him  by  saying,  "So  he  told  us" 
referring  to  Dr.  Walker. 

Next  was  Poppa  Tappa's  turn.  He  spoke  a  few  words  in  French 
which  no  one,  save  two  or  three,  could  understand.  He  turned  to 
Miss  Welshimer  and  said  "Ma  Ma"  and  then  quickly  turned  to  his 
wife.  Putting  his  arm  around  her  shoulders  he  said,  '"ITiis  is  Ma 
Ma"  and  kissed  her,  (much  to  her  embarassment). 

Good  Evenings  were  said  by  the  choir  members  to:  Poppa  Tappa. 
Momma  Tappa,  Sister  Millie,  Sister  Flo,  and  Dr.  "Walker. 

A  wonderful  time  was  had  by  all,  and  each  one  expressed  his 
personal  thanks  to  Miss  Welshimer. 

So  at  10:10  p.m.,  'shower  cap  paradp'— and  one  beret — took  leave 
from  the  annex  for  another  year. 


Disappointment 

I  see  a  teacher  who  has  on  a 

red  tie. 
You  know  what  that  means, 

oh  me!  oh  my! 
An  unsuspecting  class  will  soon 

have  a  quiz 
Which  no  one  can  pass  but 

some  science  whiz. 


To  give  a  test  fills  him  with 

delight. 
Why,  you've  never  seen  such 

a  gleeful  sight 
As  he,  after  surprising  a  tired, 

overworked  group 
Of  students,  whose  eyelids  are 

beginning  to  droop. 

"The  easiest  test  I've  ever  given," 

he  quotes  to  the  class 
Which  knows  from  experience 

that  no  one  will  pass. 
He  throws  them  the  tests,  as  he 

walks  down  the  aisle; 
Then  he  returns  to  his  desk 

with  a  satisfied  smile. 

He's  done  it  again,  what  joy, 

what  bliss, 
Now  he's  putting  red  lines  across 

each  miss. 
"One  person  passed!"  he  sighs 

with  dismay. 
"Oh,  well,  I'll  try  again  next 

class  day."

LITTLE  MANON.  CAMPUS 


Choir   Completes 
Successful  Tour 

The  Milligan  College  Concert 
Choir  returned  from  its  1959 
Spring  Tour  on  April  7.  after  two 
weeks  of  travel  through  Tennes- 
see, Kentucky,  Illinois  and  In- 
diana. During  that  time  the  choir 
presented  eighteen  programs  in 
various  churches  and  schools. 
The  group  was  under  the  direc- 
tion of  Professor  Richard  Tappa 
and  was  chaperoned  by  Miss  Mil- 
dred Welshimer.  Jim  Pierson  was 
business  manager. 

The  purpose  of  the  tour  was 
to  acquaint  people  with  Milligan 
College  through  Miss  Welshimer's 
evening  lectures  and  through  fel- 
lowship with  the  choir  members. 
The  concerts  attracted  many 
alumni  and  former  students  of 
Milligan,  as  well  as  several  pros- 
pective students.

I  LOVE  THE  SEA 

I  stood  beside  the  sea  one  day 

And  I  felt  the  wind  run  free; 

I  saw  her  hand  on  the  white-capped  £oam, 

And  I  heard  her  calling  me. 

Her  voice  it  spoke  of  distant  shores 
Of  the  lands  I'd  never  seen. 
I  smelled  the  breath  of  the  salt  sea  air 
And  the  world  seemed  strangely  clean. 

The  gulls  did  call,  and  the  sea,  she  sang 
And  the  clouds  were  white  and  free. 
Like  ships  that  sail  to  the  distant  lands 
The  white  clouds  called  to  me. 

I  turned  my  back  to  walk  away 
And  I  made  my  way  toward  home 
But  still  in  my  heart  the  blue  sea  sings 
As  she  bids  me  yet  to  roam. 

The  sea,  she  loves  with  jealous  love, 
And  tho  I'm  miles  from  her  shore 
I  feel  the  tide  rises  in  my  heart 
And  my  lover  calls  once  more.

Buffalo  Editor  Resigns 

On  Wednesday.  April  15.  James 
Ivanoff  resigned  as  editor  of  the 
Buffalo.  At  a  called  meeting  of 
the  Senior  class,  Jim  Pierson, 
Buffalo  business  manager,  was 
chosen  editor.  Since  that  time 
Jim  has  worked  hard  to  com- 
plete the  task.  Four  photograph- 
ers. Choppy  Kast.  Duane  Cal- 
houn, David  Hall,  and  Carl  Main, 
have  worked  faithfully  to  com- 
plete the  pictures.  The  coopera- 
tion of  each  club,  group,  and  in- 
dividual has  allowed  these  men

pictures.  In     addition     to     these 


four.  Larry  Forrest.  Millie  Turn- 
er, and  Charlene  Cameron  have 
assisted  in  completing  many  of 
the  pages. 

"ThQ  entire  student  body  has 
been  wonderful!  Everyone  offers 
to  do  whatever  he  can  to  finish 
the  annual.  Many  thanks  to  every- 
one for  all  you  have  done,"  re- 
marked Jim. 

Jim's  reply  when  asked  if  we 
would  have  the  annual  before 
school  dismisses  was,  'Til  do  my 
best,  but  the  publisher  has  every 
right  to  put  other  orders  before 
ours.  I'll  just  put  myself  at  his 
mercy." 


Highlights  of  the  tour  included 
the  presentation  of  several  num- 
bers at  the  Lincoln  Bible  Insti- 
tute chapel  service  in  Lincoln, 
IlUnois.  The  choir  members  visit- 
ed the  buildings  on  campus  and 
ate  lunch  in  the  school  cafeteria. 
In  Indianapolis,  Indiana,  some  of 
the  group  enjoyed  a  guided  tour 
of  the  School  of  RcHgion  at  But- 
ler University.  Near  Paris.  Ken-

tional hour  was  spent  at  the  Old

Once  again  the  mighty  "Moose  Trotters"  were  victorious.  This

twelve  members  of  the  Girl's  Intramural  Basketball  teams  faced 
twelve  members  of  the  Boy's  Intramural  Basketball  teams.  Ihe  boys 
and  girls  were  chosen  by  their  teammates  to  participate  in  this  an- 
nual event.  The  "Moose  Trotters"  were:  co-captains  "Rough  &  Ready" 
Ruth  (Hammack)  and  "Loose  Livin'  "  Linda  (Elliott).  Other  mem- 
bers of  the  team  were:  "Shaggy  Shag"  (Joanne)  Swinford;  "Lone

Time 

I  give  you  time,  the  stuff  that  life  Is  made  of; 

Not  that  which  beats  and  ticks  upon  the  wall 

Nor  yet  is  measured  by  the  luminaries 

Which  make  their  endless  courses  through  the  depths  of  space. 

I  give  you  eternal  essence  which  begins  when  first  you  greet 

The  light  of  day  in  this  terrestrial  home, 

Which  dwells  here  but  a  little  space  then  moves  on 

To  where  the  time  of  God  from  aye  to  aye 

vibrates  in  the  very  being  of  His  sons. 

I  give  you  time;  we  have  so  little  here; 

It  seems  that  each  year  brings  us  to  a  fateful  end 

Where  all  must  cease  nor  ever  wake  anew. 

'Tis  not  time  which  ceases,  'tis  but  this 

In  which  we  live  here  on  the  earth  a  little  while 

Time  is:  and  so  is  life,  eternal  as  the  God  from  whom  it  came, 

Do  with  It  as  you  will  but  knowing  this 

You  shall  not  pass  this  way  again. 

The  course  you  set  is  for  all  time  to  be. 

■1  give  you  time,  the  essence  of  eternal  day. 

Do  what  you  will,  but  guided  by  the  Morning  Star 

Use  that  drop  here  from  out  eternal  sea; 

So  having  stayed  your  space  upon  the  earth 

You  may  not  gasp  in  fearful  awe  when  comes  the  end 

But  know  it  is  no  end  at  all. 

Your  time  is  His  and  He  is  yours  and  you  are  free 

To  live  with  Him  where  time  and  man  unpressed 

Become  more  real  than  here  they  e're  may  be.

Senior  Class 
Reviews  Events 
Of  The  Year 

Most  activities  of  this  year's 
senior  class  have  been  conceived 
with  that  big  day— graduation. 
We  have  continued  work  on  the 
Barbara  Main  Memorial,  and  will 
be  pleased  when  this  project 
makes  its  appearance  along  with 
the  P.  H.  Welshimer  Library. 

It  seems  to  be  vague  to  change 
roommates  when  you  become  a 
senior — to  a  husband  or  a  wife 
that  is.  Such  has  been  the  situa- 
tion of  many  of  our  class  mem- 
bers. Just  think,  underclasswom- 
en— you  too  will  be  a  senior  some- 
day. 

Another  news  flash —  Mr.  Rob- 
ert Fife,  our  class  sponsor,  has 
been  studying  at  Indiana  Univer- 
sity this  past  semester.  He  has 
been  working  on  his  doctor's  de- 
gree in  the  field  of  history.  We 
are  as  pleased  as  he  that  this 
work  is  being  accomplished. 

Our  class  extends  many  thanks 
to  the  Juniors  who  were  hosts  at 
the  Jr.-Sr.  Steak  Fry  on  May  15. 
We  had  a  wonderful  time  and  en- 
joyed the  fellowship. 

However,  before  the  above  en- 
tertainment, the  seniors  suffered 
through  a  morning  of  "brain 
washing,"  This  refers  to  the 
Graduate  Record  Examination 
which  all  seniors  are  required  to 
take.  Our  only  advice — learn  a 
lot  and  learn  It  well  while  you 
have  the  opportunity. 

Looking  to  and  beyond  the  end- 
of-the-year  senier  activities,  we 
have  considered  the  future.  The 
Class  of  '59  is  planning  a  reunion 
in  five  years,  and  we  have  elected 
Jimmie  Pierson  to  be  secretary 
in  charge  of  addresses  and  class 
matters  for  the  next  five  years. 

We  are  ready  to  go  on,  but  we 
shall  always  look  back  to  the 
fond   memories  of   Milligan! 


Should   I   Fear   Death? 

Should  I  fear  death?  ^    'f'-' 

O  better  that  Anosia  shrink  ,.■-••-•■ 

From  spinning  fast  the  pupa  web 
For  which  she  will  emerge  a  queen. 
Whose  regal  beauty  on  the  meadow  seen 
Speaks  forth  all  the  beauty  of  her  kind. 

Thus  would  she  fall 

To  ever  reach  the  end  perfection. 

For  which  her  God  and  mine  has  made  her  so; 

Nor  yet  become  the  Monarch  of  the  field 

The  Queen  and  ruler  of  her  whole  domain. 

And  so  should  I 

In  fearing,  shrink  to  lay  aside  this  clay 

And  thus  I'd  never  know  the  wearing 

Of  that  immortal  garment  meant  for  me; 

And  those  whom  His  appearing 

Frees  to  reign  throughout  eternal  day,

LITTLE  MAN  ON.  CAMPUS 


E. 


xams 


9  9 


By  Polly  Gibson 
The  time  for  the  weeping  and 
,  wailing  has  again  arrived.  Final 
examinations  began  Wednesday, 
May  20.  Life  has  its  rough  mo- 
ments and,  for  Milligan  College 
students,  these  are  some  of  the 
roughest  moments  we  will  ever 
spend.  These  moments  are  await- 
ed with  anxiety,  tension,  worry, 
and  fear — then  they  are  over  and 
we  either  wonder  why  we  wor- 
ried so  much  or  we  wonder  why 
we  did  not  worry  more.  Exams, 
however,  are  a  way  of  testing 
our  knowledge,  and  most  of  us 
realize  that  they  are  a  "neces- 
sary evil."  It  has  been  said.  "Self 
trust  is  the  first  secret  of  suc- 
cess" and  we  who  were  ready  to 
take  our  finals  should  have  and 
could  have  well  made  this  our 
motto. 


FACULTY  CORNER 

To  us  here  on  campus  he  is  known  as  the  "Happy  Dean."  and 
rightfully  so,  too.  When  asked  what  his  interests  were  Dean  Oakei 
said  that  naturally  young  people  came  first,  but  this  of  course  is  his 
profession-  For  recreation  he  enjoys  fishmg  and  croquet.  His  fav- 
orite foods  are  shuck  beans,  spoon  combread.  yellow  sweet  com. 
butterscotch  ice  cream,  and  cherry  cobbler  pie.  He  also  said  that 
he  loves  strawberry  shortcake,  provided  that  the  shortcake  is  well- 
browned  biscuit  with  cow  butter,  not  cotton  butter,  in  it  before  the 
strawberries  are  put  in.  Of  course  no  one  would  ever  know  it,  but 
photography  is  his  hobby. 

Dean  Oakes  has  been  at  Milligan  since  1943  with  the  exception 
of  one  year. 

Mr.  Ray  Stahl  has  been  at  Milligan  ten  years.  For  recreation  he 
enjoys  golf,  photography,  and  gardening.  He  is  an  ordained  minister 
and  ministered  ten  years  before  he  came  to  Milligan.  His  decision 
to  go  into  the  ministry  came  after  winning  a  Lookout  essay  contest 
in  1940.  Voted  the  Outstanding  Young  Person  in  that  same  year,  he 
was  given  a  key  to  the  city  of  Indianapolis. 

He  likes  MiUigan  because  of  the  opportunities  young  people  have 
here  to  work  their  way  through  college.  This  stems  from  the  fact, 
he  says  that  he  worked  his  way  through  college,  holding  twenty- 
eight  jobs.  He  likes  to  eat  a  lot  of  salads.  Dutch  apple  pie  and  ice 
cream,  and  all  fattening  foods. 

Miss  Welshimer,  who  has  been  at  Milligan  for  the  last  eleven 
years,  revealed  why  everyone  here  is  so  fond  of  her  when  she  said 
that  her  favorite  recreation  is  cheerleading!!!  She's  a  good  sport. 
Her  main  interest  is  people,  and  she  Likes  food,  period.  Talking  and 
entertaming  men  in  her  apartment  are  her  hobbies.

Roundball 
Round-Up , 


IJ^ER  HARRIS— Del  received  the  Most  Valuable  Player  to 
I  team   (1958-59  Basketball  Buffaloes)   trophy  at  the   annual 

rds  program.  He  was  also  named  to  the  honorable  mention 
,  on  the  Associated  Press  Little  All-American  team,  Harris 

been  named  to  the  All-Conference  Teams  on  Both  V.S.A-C. 
S-M.A.C.  for  the  past  three  years.  He  is  a  four-year  letter- 
'I  in  basketball  and  baseball. 


The  58-59  basketball  team  had 
some  of  the  toughest  competition 
that  they  have  ever  faced.  With 
all  of  the  competition,  Milligan 
st.ll  had  a  record  of  eight  wins 
and  thirteen  losses,  which  is 
recommenoable  good  for  a  school 
of  its  size  compared  to  Its  com- 
petitors. 

The  record  of  eight  wins  and 
thirteen  losses  does  not  prove 
that  Milligan  did  not  have  a  good 
team,  because  many  games  were 
lost  by  only  a  couple  of  points 
when  Milligan  was  far  behind  at 
the  half. 

The  big  Butts,  led  by  Senior 
Delmer  Harris,  ended  up  with  a 
74.5  point  average  per  game.  Del 
Harris  had  a  20.5  p^int  per  game 
average  while  Freshman  Mel- 
bum  Ellis  had  a  13.8.  Roger  Size- 
more  followed  with  a  11.3  aver- 
age. Sophomore  Charlie  Tester 
had  a  9.3  average  followed  by 
Freshman  Terry  Black  with  an 
8,1  average. 

There  are  three  graduating 
seniors  on  the  team  this  year. 
They  are  Delmer  Harris,  Roger 
Sizcmore,"  and  Dick  Van  Buren. 
Delmer  Harris  finished  a  success- 
ful career  by  being  named  to  the 
honorable  mention  list  on  the  As- 
sociated Press  Little  All-Ajnerican 
team.  Hams,  who  hails  from 
Plamfield,  Indiana,  scored  1.639 
points  over  his  four  year  period 
here  at  Milligan.  He  was  also 
named  on  the  all-conference 
teams  on  both  V.S^C.  and 
S.M.A.C.  for  the  past  three  years.

a  new  VSAC  record  last  year  in 
the  high  hurdles  and  continues 
to  improve  himself.  Roger  has  left 
his  mark  in  the  events  of  high 
and  low  hurdles,  high  jump, 
broad  jump  and  also  did  some 
work  in  the  pole  vault  and  jave- 
lin. 

Co-captain  Phil  Worrell  has  al- 
so completed  four  years  of  var- 
sity track  and  has  left  his  print 
m  the  Milligan  College  track 
book.  These  two  seniors  will  be 
missed  next  year  but  the  under- 
classmen have  displayed  talents 
that  should  fill  ihe  vacancies  left 
by  the  seniors. 


The  Buffalo 
Reports 

The  last,  pages  of  the  annual 
were  completed  early  the  morn- 
ing of  May  2— in  fact,  it  was 
around  2:30  a.m. 

The  staff  regrets  very  much 
that  your  yearbook  will  not  be 
in  your  hands  before  the  close  of 
this  school  year.  It  is  very  likely 
that  it  will  be  mailed  to  you  dur- 
ing the  summer  months.  The 
work  involved  in  presenting  the 
annual  is  tremendous.  This  has 
been  especially  true  this  year 
since  most  of  the  work  had  to  be 
done  in  two  weeks'  time.  How- 
ever, we  hope  the  results  will 
prove  more  than  satisfactory  to 
you. 


Baseball  Talk . . . 

Br  Cmsnon  Dant 

Seems  like  every  coach  of  any 
sport  always  says  at  the  end  of 
the  season,  "We  are  looking  for- 
ward to  a  good  season  next  year." 
Some  coaches  can  back  this 
statement  up  and  some  can  not. 
Coach  Stout  has  said  these  very 
words  but  he  feels  he  can  back 
them  up  all  the  way. 

With  a  record  of  3  wins  and  10 
losses  this  season.  Coach  Stout 
feels  that  next  year  we  will  not 
win  them  all  but  we  should  have 
better  than  a  .500  season.  With 
six  Freshmen  on  the  starting  line- 
up coming  back  and  some  new 
players  to  fUI  the  gap  of  the 
Seniors,  there  should  be  no  rea- 
son why  we  cannot  have  a  winn- 
mg    tfam. 

The  six  Freshmen  coming  back 
arc  Gar>'  Aldridge,  who  plays  at 
the  catching  position;  Eddie  Wtl- 
1  ems.  1st,  baseman  and  a  player 
who  plays  defensive  ball  like  a 
seasoned  player;  Arlin  Sarrat, 
2nd.  baseman,  who  has  motor 
ability  plus;  Phil  Storey  at  short 
stop  who  is  one  of  the  best  short 
stops  in  the  league  but  needs 
more  seasoning;  Marshall  Mill- 
horne.  a  pitcher  who  needs  a  little 
more  experience;  and  Terry  Black 
at  the  pitching  position,  who  also 
needs  more  experience. 

Hack  Hider  was  the  big  gun 
for  Milligan  for  the  second 
straight  year.  Hack  had  a  .334  per 
cent  batting  average.  Gary  Ald- 
ridge was  second  with  .322  and 
Arlin  Sarrat  was  third  with  a 
.308. 

'The  fact  that  85%  of  baseball 
is  to  go  down  on  the  field  willing 
and  wanting  to  play,"  soys  Coach 
Stout,  "will  make  it  easier  to  win 
a  game."  Coach  Stout  also  says, 
"Here  at  Milligan,  the  team,  was 
fighting  the  thing  called  lack  of 
desire  of  defeatism.  We  have  con- 
quered that  to  the  extent  that  the 
boys  can  win  if  they  put  forth 


ROGER  SIZEMORE— Rog  received  the  tiUe  of  ALL  SPORTS 
KING  this  year  and  very  capably  tUh  the  honor.  This  year 
Roger  scored  one  hundred  twenty-six  and  two-thirds  points  in 
track.  He  is  a  four-year  letterman  in  basketball  and  track. 

TENNIS  TALK... 

By  Frank  Parker 

The  Milligan  College  tennis 
team  has  just  completed  a  winn- 
ing and  successful  season  with 
seven  wins  against  six  losses. 
Three  of  the  six  members  of  the 
tennis  ladder  will  graduate,  but 
nevertheless  .the  team  will  be 
left  with  three  strong  returning 
lettermen  with  valuable  experi- 
ence plus  a  good  reserve  to  fill 
in  next  year.  Sammy  Stames, 
number  one  man  from  Slant,  Vir- 
ginia, Dave  Poorman,  number 
four  man  from  Canton,  Ohio,  and 
Jim  Stidham,  number  five  man 
from  Kingsport,  Tenn..  are  the 
graduating  senior  members  of 
the  team.  Their  absence  will  be 
felt  next  year  but  the  second 
team  w.ll  provide  some  strong 
men  to  replace  them, 

Eric  Crites,  a  junior  and  num- 
ber two  man.  Bob  Dudley,  also 
a  junior  and  number  three  man, 
and  Lowell  Williams,  a  sopho- 
more and  number  six,  will  be  re- 
turning next  year.  With  the  ex- 
cellent coaching  of  Hugh  Thomp- 
son, the  returning  men  and  the 
men  coming  up  from  the  second 
team  should  provide  a  strong 
team  next  year.  Much  exi>erience 
has  been  obtained  by  the  men 
playing  on  the  second  team;  and 
Jim  Dearman  and  Jim  Lura  look 
good  and  should  be  a  great  asset 
to  the  team  next  year. 

A     summary     of     the     year3 

their  best  effort."  This  was  shown 
in  the  last  game  of  the  season 
with  Tusculum. 

With  the  Freshman  talent  com- 
ing back  and  the  expecting  new 
boys  and  especially  with  the  ps>-- 
chological  reason  of  wanting  to 
win  are  the  reasons  why  Coach 
Stout  believes  that  next  year 
will  be  a  good  one. 


matches  will  show  a  good  record 
and  a  Buff  team  fighting  all  the 
way.  Milligan's  score  appears 
first  and  some  schools  were  play- 
ed twice:  Emory  it  Henry,  5-4 
and  6-3;  Union  College,  7-0  and 
9-0;  Tennessee  Wesleyan,  8-1 : 
Lincoln  Memorial  University,  3- 
€.  and  4-5;  King  College.  7-2  and 
6-2 ;  Carson-Newman.  1  -8  and 
3-€;  East  Tenn.  State.  4-5  and  2-5. 

It  would  be  hard  to  pick  out 
one  match  during  the  season  that 
was  outstanding  because  all  the 
matches  were  hard  fought  and 
filled  with  excitement,  but  a  few 
should  have  special  recognition. 
In  the  second  match  with  Emory 
Sc  Henry.  Bob  Dudley  and  Eric 
Crites  played  the  best  doubles  of 
the  year  against  Likens  and  Lind- 
say. An  outstanding  single-match 
is  more  difficult  to  pin-poinl  but 
the  entire  team  played  some  out- 
standing singles. 

The  team  agrees  that  this  year 
you,  the  student  body,  have  given 
them  the  best  support  in  the 
home  games  and  they  want  to 
thank  you  for  it.  These  men  work 
hard  and  deserve  your  support. 
Continue  your  suppwrt  and  in- 
terest next  year.

A  LETTER  TO  CLUB 

AND  CLASS  REPORTERS  — 

Dear  Reporter: 

It  has  fallen  to  your  responsibility  to  be  a  club  or 
class  reporter.  This  responsibility  came  your  way  as  a 
result  of  confidence  placed  in  you  by  your  fellow-class- 
mates. They  elected  you  their  repforter  in  order  to  keep 
their  club  in  the  headlines  aJong  with  the  other  organiza- 
tions. 

Whenever  a  meeting  of  the  group  or  officers  is  held, 
it  is  your  duty  and  obligation  to  write  the  contents  of  the 
meeting  to  be  published  in  the  school  paper.  Through 
this  method,  the  entire  student  body  is  iniormed  of  the 
progress  and  activity  of  your  organization.  New  interests, 
new  members,  and  other  assets  may  be  added  to  your 
group  as  a  result  of  informing  the  public. 

Remember  your  responsibility,  fulfill  your  obliga- 
tions, and  be  a  dependable  reporter  by  watching  the  bul- 
letin boards  for  dates  or  articles  due;  writing  up  your 
news  no  matter  how  small  or  large;  and  turning  it  in  on 
time. 

Thank  you, 
Editor-in-Chief  of  Stampede 
P.S.  Dear  Presidents: 

It  is  your  responsibility  to  elect  a  reporter  if  your 
organization  does  not  have  one.  Do  this  immediately!

The  other  new  member  of  the 
faculty  is  Mr.  James  Shields,  a 
native  of  California.  He  received 
his  A.  B.  degree  and  M.  A.  de- 
gree in  religion  from  Pacific 
Bible  College  in  Long  Beach, 
California,  a  B.  S.  in  education 
from  the  University  of  Southern 
California  in  Los  Angeles,  and 
an  M.  A.  degree  in  education  from 
Long  Beach  State.  For  seventeen

chosen  instead  of  the  usual  seven. 

Two  alternates  will  also  be 
elected  instead  of  the  usual  three. 
The  first  five  are  known  as  the 
Varsity  cheerleaders  and  must  be 
present  at  all  practices  and  games 
unless  she  or  he  is  excused  for  a 
good  purpose.  The  alternates 
must  be  at  all  practices,  but  cheer 
only  in  the  absence  of  one  of  the 
Varsity  members.  If  any  member 
of  the  squad  is  absent  from  prac- 
tices or  games  over  the  minimum 
amount  of  unexcused  absences 
(three  in  previous  years),  she  is 
immediately  eliminated  from  the 
squad.  It  is  important  that  each 
girl  or  boy  realize  the  responsi- 
bility and  the  time  that  must  be 
rendered  if  he  or  she  is  chosen 
to  a  cheerleading  position. 

Serving  as  a  cheerleader  the 
previous  year  does  not  entitle  a 
girl  or  boy  to  serve  automatical- 
ly on  the  next  year's  squad. 
Every  person  desiring  to  be  a 
cheerleader  must  try-out  each 
fall  for  the  honor.  This  enables 
new  students  and  old  ones  who 
have  developed  an  interest  in 
cheerleading  to  have  an  equal 
chance  with  others. 

Returning  lettermen  this  year 
are  Ruth  Hammack,  three  years 
on  the  squad  and  captain  her 
third  year;  Joanne  Hines,  two- 
year  letterman;  Joy  Fisher,  Anita 
Hiner,  Willis  Warrcnder,  one- 
year  letterman;  and  Pat  Combs, 
Dorie  Whitesel,  and  Earl  Eidson, 
alternates.  These  girls  and  boys 
will  make  themselves  available 
for  practice  and  instruction  for 
those  students  interested  in  try- 
ing out  early  in  October. 

We  are  hoping  to  have  new  in- 
terest, new  spirit,  and  now  pep 
from  the  entire  student  body  this 
year.

Senior  Class 
Holds  Meeting 

The  meeting  of  the  Class  of  '60 
was  called  to  order  for  the  first 
time  as  Seniors  by  President  Les 
Rengstorf. 

Most  of  the  events  talked  about 
were    classified    as    old    business. 

The  class  project  of  a  globe  or 
plaque  with  the  college  motto, 
"Christian  Education,  the  Hope 
of  the  World"  on  it  was  discussed 
and  then  turned  over  to  the  Pro- 
ject Committee  for  further  in- 
vestigation. 

It  was  decided  that  the  class 
would  give  the  play,  "Little  Nell." 
which  was  given  their  freshman 
year. 

Dr.  Gervin  was  elected  Senior 
Class  Sponsor  to  take  the  place 
of  Mr.  Gobble,  who  left  this  year. 

Benji  Young,  Chaplain,  closed 
the  meeting  with  prayer.

ing and  to  evaluate  his  ideas  in

dent's essay  is  $300.

Men's  Dormitory 
Council  Chosen 

The  Milligan  men  chose  the 
following  men  to  represent  them 
on  their  council  this  year:  Lowell 
Williams.  Dick  Ferguson,  Tommy 
Starnes,  Larry  Hammack,  Frank 
Hawks,  Bill  Smith,  Richard  Bus- 
sian.  and  Lenie  Walker. 


A  small  boy  walked  up  to  a 
movie  box  office  during  school 
hours  and  the  cashier  refused  to 
sell  him  a  ticket. 

"Why  aren't  you  in  school?" 
she  added. 

"It's  O.K.,  lady,"  the  little  one 
replied,  "I  got  the  measles." 


Poetry  Competition 
Ooen  To  Students 

The  National  Poetry  Associa- 
tion is  sponsoring  its  annual  com- 
petition for  college  students. 

Any  student  enrolled  in  col- 
lege is  eligible  to  submit  his 
verse.  There  is  no  limitation  as 
to  form  or  theme,  but  shorter 
works  are  preferred  by  the  Board 
of  Judges,  because  of  space  limi- 
tations. 

Chosen  works  will  be  printed 
in  the  College  Student's  Poetry 
Anthology.  Closing  date  for  the 
submission  of  manuscripts  is  No- 
vember 5, 

Each  poem  must  be  typed  or 
printed  on  a  separate  sheet  and 
must  bear  the  name  and  home 
address  of  the  student.  Material 
should  be  sent  to  the  National 
Poetry  Association.  3210  Shelby 
Avenue,  Los  Angeles  34,  Cali- 
fornia. 

A  separate  competition  is  held 
fer  college  teachers  with  their 
deadline  set  for  January  1. 

There  are  no  fees  or  charges 
for  acceptance  or  submission  of 
verse.  AH  work  will  be  judged 
on  merit  alone. 


Although  printing  as  we  know 
it  dates  from  about  1450.  it  was 
a  long  time  before  printed  books 
were  cheap  enough  to  be  owned 
by  the  poor.  Public  libraries,  rare 
in  the  early  days,  did  not  help 
very  much.  A  library  for  the  poor, 
founded  in  the  17th  century,  con- 
tained only  six  books. 


Nerer  Salisfled 

After  her  husband  had  explain- 
ed all  the  inside  dope  on  several 
plays  at  the  ball  game,  his  bored 
wife  asked:  "Why  can't  you  be 
like  other  husbands  and  never 
take  me  any  place?"

Milligan's  Ihinclads  turned  in 
one  of  their  better  seasons  for 
Coach  Duard  Walker,  The  1959 
Squad  comprised  a  5-2  won-loss 
record  for  dual  meets.  To  go 
along  with  this,  the  local  cinder- 
men  made  an  impressive  showing 
in  the  Smokey  Mountam  Athletic 
Conference  and  the  Volunteer 
State  Athletic  Conference  meets. 

Last  year's  squal  included  only 
two  seniors,  Co-captains  Roger 
Sizemore  and  Phil  Worrell.  Those 
two  boys  will  be  missed  very 
much  in  the  1960  campaign.  Roger 
was  high  in  the  individual  scor- 
ing with  Phil  being  third. 

This  year  should  prove  to  be  a 
successful  one  as  Coach  Walker's 
rebuilding  program  starts  to 
progress.  There  will  be  eleven  re- 
turning lettermen  from  last  year's 
squad.  Dick  Howe  in  dash;  Ron 
Sewell  in  hurdles;  Boyd  Rawson 

in    middle    distance;    David    Wil- "

"    The  word  is  out  that  there  are    

a  few  freshman  prospects,  as 
usual.  Coach  Walker  extends  a 
■warm  welcome  to  all  new  men  to 
strengthen  his  squad.  There  is

The  "fcr'  Club  consists  of  men 
who  have  lettered  in  a  varsity 
sport  and  have  been  selected  by 
the  club  and  have  successfully 
passed  the  initiation. 

The  "M"  Club  had  their  final 
meeting  last  year  on  May  23, 
1959,  with  election  of  officers  for 
the  *59-*60  school  year.  'Hie  of- 
ficers are:  President.  Bob  Dudley; 
Vice-President,  John  A.  Williams; 
Secretary -Treasurer,  Dick  Hawes; 
Sergeant  -  at-  -  arms,  Lowell 
"Moose"  Williams  and  Reporter,

The  first  event  that  the  "M" 
Club  sponsors  will  be  the  annual 
Varsity  vs.  'Freshmen  basketball 
game  before  the  season  opens  in 
order  to  give  the  students  a  look

Walker  welcomes  a  host  of  fresh- 
men along  with  transfer  students 
and  boys  up  from  the  junior  Var- 
sity. The  Key  to  this  year's  team 
probably  lies  among  brilliant 
Charlie  Tester,  and  sophomores 
Terry  Black  and  Milburn  Ellis. 
The  strength  of  the  team  appears 
in  the  depth  of  guards  and  the 
weakness  in  the  lack  of  big  re- 
serve forwards.  It  looks  like  an 
interesting  season  ahead  and  lots 
of  excitement.  See  you  at  the

Twirp  Week  Successfully  Draws  To  An  End 


CHAPEL  NEWS       Cheerleading  Tryouls  Held  Today 


Finding  life  throueh  losing  it 
was  the  theme  of  Dr.  Crouch's 
message  for  the  October  13 
chapel  program. 

The  Service  Seekers,  under  the 
leadership  of  President  Lynn 
Fowler,  were  in  charge  of  chapel 
on  October  15.  Participating  in 
this  program  were  Judy  Sparks, 
Dorthy  Liston,  Laura  Nolle  Ham- 
ilton, with  each  giving  five  min- 
ute talks  on  the  subject  "How  to 
Improve  Your  Personal  Devo- 
tional Life."  Joanne  Hines  pre- 
sented special  music. 

On  October  20,  Professor  1'ap- 
pa  conducted  the  chapel  service, 
having  it  centered  around  the 
theme  of  religious  music. 

Dr.  Watters,  the  newest  mem- 
ber of  the  Milligan  faculty,  was 
speaker  on  October  21.  Dr.  Wat- 
ters is  a  native  of  Scotland,  hav- 
ing received  his  Ph.  D.  from  the 
University  of  Edinburgh.  Recent- 
ly he  has  been  engaged  in  mis- 
sion work  m  India. 

The  following  day's  chapel  pro- 
gram featured  a  devotional  pre- 
sented by  Professor  Fife. 


Over  twenty  persons  have  ex- 
pressed interest  in  cheerleading 
this  year. 

They  have  been  practicing  with 
Ruth  Hammack  and  the  rest  of 
last  year's  cheerleaders. 

A  committee  including  the  fac- 
ulty, athletic  committee,  vice 
president  of  the  student  body, 
and  the  vice  presidents  of  all  the 
classes  was  in  charge  of  the  secret 
ballot  selection  of  the  cheerlead- 
ers. The  fifteen  selected  on  Mon- 


day of  this  week  were  judged  on 
group  and  individual  cheering. 

The  Varsity  Voices  are  backing 
the  five  regular  and  two  alter- 
nate cheerleaders  who  were  chos- 
en m  assembly  today  by  popular 
vote  of  the  entire  student  body. 

Being  a  cheerleader  gives  an 
opportunity  for  school  service  and 
the  exchange  of  ideas  and  friend- 
ship with  other  school  cheerlead- 
ers.

TWAS  THE  NIGHT  BEFORE  TWIRP  WEEK 

By  More  rapid  than  eagles 

Milliflcent  Mae  Mortinhipperhifer   1*he  courses  they  flew, 
A  cycle-full  of  boys 


Twas  the  night  before  Trirp 

Week, 
All  the  girls  were  turned  loose. 
All  creatures  were  stirring. 
But— WHERE  was  Old  Moose? 

.w<»Ebe  date  list  was  hung 

cSin  the  lobby  with  care. 

All  names  were  present 

But — one  was  not  there! 

Mom  Nice  in  her  kerchief 
Miss  Welshimer  in  her  cap. 
Had  just  settled  down 
For  a  long  Twirp  Week  nap. 

I"he  students  were  nestled 
All  snug  in  their  beds. 
While  visions  of  Twirp  Week 
"Hhylhmed"   in   their  heads. 

When  out  on  the  lawn 
There  arose  such  a  clatter. 
They  sprang  from  their  beds 
To  see  what  was  the  matter. 

Away  to  the  windows 
They  flew  like  a  flash. 
Tore  open  the  shutters. 
Threw  up  the  sash. 

The  lights  from  above, 
Shining  down  with  a  glow 
Gave  a  luster  of  mid-day 
To  objects  below. 

When   what  to  their  wondering 

eyes 
Should  appear? 
But  a  little  ole  man 
With  eight  Pardee  "Dear." 

A  short  skinny  leader 
Who  walked  Uke  a  goose, 
They  knew  in  a  moment 
It  must  be  Ole  Moose. 


And  little  Moose,  too. 

Up  to  the  hill 

So  quietly  he  came 

He  whistled  and  shouted 

And  called  them  by  name. 

"On  Alex,  on  Howe, 
On  Smith  and  James 
On  Wiggins,  on  Walker. 
On  Sewell  and  Hinos." 

Coming  close  to  the  hall 
At  the  top  of  the  hill. 
Came  the  little  ole  motorcycle 
Being  driven  by  Bill. 

And  scarcely 
Did  they  make  a  sound. 
When  across  the  lawn 
They  came  with  a  bound. 

His  eyes  how  they  twinkled. 
His  dimples  so  merry. 
His  cheeks  were  like  roses. 
His  nose  like  a  cherry. 

His  droll  little  mouth 
Was  drawn  like  a  bow. 
And  the  beard  on  his  chin 
Was  as  black  as  a  crow. 

He  spoke  not  a  word 
But  turned  like  a  jerk. 
And  filled  in  his  name 
So  that  Moosie  could  twirp. 

He  spring  to  his  feet 
To  his  gang  gave  a  whistle, 
And  away  they  all  flew 
Like  the  down  of  a  thistle. 

And  they  heard  him  exclaim 
As  they  zoomed  out  of  sight. 
"I'm  Chairman  of  Twirp  Week, 
And  out  every  night." 


Four  weeks  ago  we  all  came  back 
Determined  there  should  be  no  lack 
Of  information  in  our  brains 
To  cause  our  Alma  Mater  shame 
If  we  should  fail  in  quest  of  fame. 

We  stood  in  line;  we  paid  in  full  (?) 
The  freshmen  dressed  like  Sitting  Bull 
We  met  old  friends,  we  made  some  new. 
And  wept  because  we  missed  a  few. 
The  study  lamps  burn  all  night  through. 

Pops  and  quizes  came  and  went; 
The  students  seem  on  learning  bent. 
The  SUB  is  crowded,  as  before. 
Yes,  school  has  started  there's  no  doubt 
Because  today  THE  STAMPEDE'S  Out!

Listen^  My  Children,  and  You  Shall  Hear  .  .  . 

"Nearly  six  weeks  have  flown  by  since  the  fall  session  began!" 
"It  just  doesn't  seem  possible!"  "Just  a  few  more  days  until  the  fall 
vacation!"  "She  hasn't  been  writing  too  faithfully  lately,  I'll  sure  be 
happy  to  get  home  to  check  up  on  her!"  'This  crazy  Tennessee 
weather — I  never  know  what  to  wear!"  "It  isn't  raining — not  again!" 
"Buffalo  Mountain  has  disappeared  again!"  "I  wonder  if  Millie  will 
let  mc  have  my  picture  retaken  for  the  annual."  "This  really  doesn't 
do  me  justice!"  "Do  you  think  that  Miss  Jones  will  give  us  a  POP 
today?  Maybe  we  can  ask  enough  questions  to  keep  her  busy  until 
the  bell  rings!"  "Do  you  think  that  Mr.  Price  has  half  interest  in  that 
pin  factory  that  Adam  Smith  wrote  about?"  "Isn't  it  surprising  what 
a  dinner  jacket  can  do  for  a  guy?  I  hardly  recognized  him!"  "Have 
you  noticed  how  difficult  it  is  to  find  a  chair  in  the  library  lately? 
A  fellow  doesn't  know  whether  to  be  pleased  or  aggravated!"  "Miss 
Welshimer's  kitchen  is  really  a  busy  place!  You  have  to  have  your 
reservations  in  a  week  ahead  of  time.  Why  is  everyone  suddenly 
turning  domestic?"  "What?  Ham  and  sweet  potatoes  on  Wednesday 
evening?"    "Aren't   the   trees   lovely?

Varsity  Voices 

Reporter — Joanne  Hines 
The  Varsity  Voices  is  moving 
into  the  1959-60  school  year  with 
lots  of  enthusiasm  and  new  ideas. 
At  the  fii-st  meeting  on  Wednes- 
day, October  7,  President  Anita 
Hiner  stated  that  the  function  of 
the  Varsity  Voices  is  to  support 
the  basketball,  baseball,  track, 
and  tennis  teams  by  attendance 
and  cheering  at  the  events.  The 
club  will  be  especially  active  dur- 
ing basketball  season  when  it  will 
sit  as  a  groun  in  a  cheering  block 
and  make  use  of  flash  cards  and 
pom-poms.  It  was  suggested  that 
the  members  dress  uniformly  — 
possibly  with  the  girls  wearing 
black  sweaters  and  orange  col- 
lars and  the  boys  wearinc  black 
sweaters.  As  one  of  their  projects, 
the  club  plans  lo  give  financial 
support  to  the  cheerleaders  for 
away  games. 

Committees  and  their  heads 
were  chosen  for  the  coming  year. 
They  are  the  Flash  Card  Commit- 
tee, co-chairmen  Marilyn  Hutton 
and  Jean  Wicoff;  Correspondence 
Committee,  co-chairmen  Martha 
Sue  Orr  and  Sandy  Taylor;  Col- 
lar Committee,  co-chairmen  Caro- 
lyn Henley  and  Janet  Robinson, 
and  Project  Committee,  co-chair- 
men Ruth  Hammack  and  Earlene 
Orman.

Missionary  Fellowship 

Reporter — Vivian    Servil 

Although  it  is  one  of  the  newest 
clubs  at  Milligan,  the  Missionary 
Fellowship  has  been  progressing 
quite  steadily.  This  year  seems 
very  promising  too. 

Exie  Fultz,  missionary  of  the 
Nippon  Christian  Broadcasting 
Association  in  Japan  spoke  to  the 
Missionary  Fellowship  at  their 
first  meeting.  She  brought  forth 
her  plans  to  extend  Christian 
broadcasting  m  Japan. 

At  their  second  meeting  plans 
were  discussed  to  emphasize  mis- 
sion work  at  Milligan.  Tentative 
plans  were  made  to  have  a  "Mis- 
sionary Rally"  here  sometime  in 
March  emphasizing  missions 
around  the  world.  After  the  bus- 
iness meeting,  Wirmie  Haven  told 
of  the  mission  work  some  of  her 
friends  are  accomplishing  on  the 
Indian  Reservations  in  South 
Dakota. 

The  Missionary  Fellowship 
meetings  are  open  to  all  who  wish 
to  attend.  The  meetings  are  plan- 
ned for  the  first  and  third  Fri- 
day nights  of  every  month.  This 
month  they  also  plan  to  have  a 
special  meeting  on  Wednesday, 
October  28,  with  Bill  Loft,  mis- 
sionary to  Brazil,  telling  them 
about   Christianity   in   Brazil. 


LAUGHS . . . 

NECESSARY  EVIL 

Jones  had  to  reprimand  his 
wife.  "I  think,  dear,"  he  said 
soothingly,  "that  you  fib  a  little 
occasionally." 

"Well,  yes,  but  I  think  it's  a 
wife's  duty,"  was  her  response, 
"to  speak  well  of  her  husband 
occasionally." 


HOLD-OVER 

I'here  was  a  funeral  recently 
in  the  south  end  of  London  which 
was  attended  by  many  old-time 
comedians  who  had  gathered  to 
say  a  last  farewell  lo  one  of  their 
members.  During  the  ceremony, 
one  man  looked  up  at  his  neigh- 
bor and  asked.  "'Ow  old  are  you. 
Charhe?"  i 

"Ninety,"  replied  the  old-timer. 

"'Ardly  worth  going  'ome  eh?" 


Land  insects  make  up  an  ap- 
preciable percentage  of  the  rain-

The  carp,  a  native  of  Asia,  was 
introduced  in  the  United  States 
in  1872  and  in  Wyoming  in  1889. 


BEYOND  REPAIR 

A  real  estate  agent  was  trj'ing 
to  sell  an  old  farm  house  lo  a 
middle-aged  woman.  After  look- 
ing the  house  over  and  listening 
to  the  agent,  she  said,  "I  could 
do  a  lot  with  this  wreck.' 

Then  she  added,  "On  the  other 
hand,  I  said  the  same  thing  the 
first  time  I  looked  at  my  hus- 
band."

Sahli  Takes  Girl's 
Tennis  Tourney 

The  single  elimination  tennis 
tournament  began  October  6  with 
twenty-three  girls  participating. 
The  tournament  was  to  end  Oc- 
tober 12,  but  due  to  lack  of  co- 
operation by  Mr.  Weatherman,  it 
had  to  be  extended  to  October  16. 

The  semi-finals  round  found 
Nancy  Sahli  vs.  Dorie  Whitesel 
and  Nancy  Phillips  vs.  Gail  Jean. 
Sahli  was  victorious  over  White- 
sel (6-0,  6-0)  and  Jean  was  de- 
feated by  Phillips  in  one  of  the 
best  matches  of  the  tournament 
(6-1.  6-3.  6-4).  In  the  final  match, 
Nancy  Sahli  beat  Nancy  Phillips. 
Our  congratulations  go  to  Milli- 
gan's  "Althea  Gibson. 

Participants  in  both  vollyball 
and  tennis  have  shown  much  en- 
thusiasm. We  hope  that  in  the 
future  even  more  girls  will  want 
to  take  part  in  the  intramural 
program.  Watch  the  bulletin 
boards  for  announcement  of  com- 
ing events. 


ITie  Fall  Tennis  Tournament 
was  held  September  28  through 
October  5  with  twenty-three  boys 
participating.  Although  it  was 
held  mamly  to  give  the  tennis 
coach,  "Doc"  Thompson,  an  idea 
of  the  material  he  has  for  the 
spring;  it  was  also  used  as  an 
intramural  tournament  and  the 
v.'inner  and  runner-up  will  re- 
ceive awards  later  in  the  year. 

"Doc"  stated  that  he  was  well 
pleased  with  the  development  of 
some  of  the  newer  players  and 
was  looking  forward  to  having  a 
fine  team  this  spring.  The  semi- 
finals    were     played     October    4 


with  Dave  Williams  defeating 
John  Wiggins  6-4,  5-7.  4-2,  and 
Lowell  Williams  defeating  Eric 
Crites  6-3,  6-2.  The  finals  were 
played  the  next  day  with  Lowell 
defeating  Dave  7-5,  6-0  for  the 
championship  and  a  new  can  of 
tennis  balls. 

Spirit  and  desire  marked  every 
contest  and  good  sportsmanship 
was  very  evident. 


A  doubles  tournament  had  been 
scheduled  to  follow  right  after 
this  one.  but  because  of  bad 
weather  and  the  Girls'  Tennis 
Tournament,  it  had  to  be  can- 
celled. 


BASKETBALL  REPORT... 


By  Wig 

Coach  Duard  Walker  got  the 
roundball  practice  started  on  Oc- 
tober 19.  There  were  approxi- 
mately thirty  boys  who  showed 
up  for  the  opening  session.  Re- 
turning lettermen  for  the  1959-60 
season  include  Charlie  Tester. 
Lowell  Williams.  Terry  Black. 
Lew  Taylor,  Milburn  Ellis,  Red 
Edens,  Jim  Sanders,  Don  Alex- 
ander and  Carrol  Boone. 

Last  year's  record  of  8-13  was 
not  as  bad  as  the  record  reads. 
Many  of  the  ballgames  were  los^ 
in  the  final  minutes.  With  a  little 
help  on  the  boards  that  record 
could  have  been  improved, 


This  year  should  prove  interest- 
ing with  the  loss  of  Del  Harris, 
who  was  the  leading  scorer  for 
the  last  three  seasons.  The  bulk 
of  the  scoring  attack  will  prob- 
ably be  handled  by  Sophomores 
Terry  Black  and  Milburn  Ellis. 
Charlie  Tester  will  be  welcoming 
a  lot  of  help  in  the  rebounding 
department. 

Coach  Walker  will  miss  Junior 
guard  Don  Alexander  who  is  out 
of  action  with  a  knee  operation. 
The  Coach  is  welcoming  all  men 
who  are  interested  in  participat- 
ing in  the  long  practice  session. 
A  lot  of  reserve  strength  is  being 
sought  before  the  season  starts.

Football,  intramural  style, 
opened  up  its  season  September 
25.  with  a  big  bang.  The  people 
who  saw  the  games,  or  the  ones 
who  played,  will  know  what  I 
mean,  and  for  the  people  who  do 
not,  just  ask  Don  Alexander  how 
he  is  getting  along.  There  have 
been  many  injuries  and  one  team. 
the  Conquerors,  have  had  to  drop 
out  because  of  this.  The  game  is 
played  with  from  6  to  11  players 
on  each  team;  and  instead  of 
tackling,  each  man  has  a  towel 
which  IS  to  be  pulled  out  of  his 
belt  when  he  is  carrying  the  ball. 
AU  blocks  are  legal,  and  anything 
else  you  can  get  away  with.  The 
standings  as  of  October  14  are  as 
follows:  first.  Gamecocks  4-0; 
second.  Buffaloes  2-1-2;  third,  Big 
Twelve  2-3;  fourth,  Ohioiens  1-2-2

Sophomore  Oass  News 
By  France!  Shipley 

The  Sophomore  Class  of  Milli- 
gan College  is  in  full  swing  of  its 
activities. 

The  class  is  now  planning  a 
chili  supper  for  Friday  night,  No- 
vember 13.  The  public  is  invited 
to  this  supper.  There  will  be  a 
nominal  fee.  The  money  made 
from  this  will  be  used  tov^ard 
our  major  project  which  is  fur- 
nishing and  repairing,  if  neces- 
sary, the  basement  of  the    Sub. 

the  Sophomore  Class  also  de- 
cided to  sell  mums  during  Foun- 
der's Day.  Since  this  is  nationally 
practiced  in  host  high  schools, 
colleges,  and  universities,  we  feel 
it  can  and  will  be  a  success.  ITie 
profits  made  from  this  will  be 
used  toward  minor  projects.      _ 

Sophomore  Class  reporter,  Vic 
Brown  resigned.  Frances  Shipley 
was  elected  by  the  class  to  liU 
this  position.  , 

'I'he  Sophomore  Class  is  work- 
ing hard  to  make  this  the  best 
year  ever  at  Milligan.  We  need 
the  support  of  every  class  mem- 
ber. Can  we  depend  on  you? 

Fear  less,  hope  more;  eat  less, 
chew  more;  whine  less,  breathe 
more;  talk  less,  say  more;  hate 
less,  love  more;  and  all  good 
things  are  yours. 


Junior  Clase  News 

By  J.  Hinet 

The  Juniors  welcomed  the  fall 
season  with  a  bangl  Twirp  Week 
has  been  the  biggest  Junior  pro- 
ject thus  far  this  semester  here 
at  Milligan.  Twirp  Week  was 
held  from  October  18th  to  the 
24th,  and  a  little  bird  told  me 
that  it  wasn't  long  enough  for 
some  of  the  gals  on  campus!  Oh 
well,  there's  always  next  year. 

Congratulations  are  due  to  our 
president.  Jim  Lura.  for  his  line 
work  in  organizing  the  Big  Week, 
and  for  giving  that  spark  of  en- 
thusiasm so  necessary  for  success. 
Thanks  also  to  the  committees, 
their  chairmen,  and  everyone 
who  took  part:  from  the  perform- 
ers Friday  night  to  those  who 
cleaned  up  the  ''mess"  afterwards. 

A  special  thank  you  goes  to 
Bob  Dean  who  worked  tirelessly 
on  the  County  Fair  which  cu- 
maxed  the  week. 

We  are  proud  to  claun  several 
new  members  in  our  "most  hon- 
orable clan."  These  transfer 
Juniors  are:  Mary  Ann  Garland. 
N"  T^  ^lorcan  Pat  Powell.  Ben 
Crandall,  Richard  Hayes,  and 
Danny  McClain.  We  also  have 
two  second-semester  Juniors  with 
us:  Ruthann  Currey  and  Phil 
Fletcher.  Ruthann.  Phil  and  Ben 
have  attended  Milligan  previous- 
ly and  it  is  grand  to  have  them 
back  in  the  Milligan  Family. 

At  the  first  regular  class  meet- 
ing this  fall,  we  elected  a  student 
council  representative  who  is 
Willis  Warrender;  Junior  mem- 
bers on  the  Annual  Staff  were 
then  elected.  Dorothy  Liston  is 
the  new  assistant  business  man- 
Eper.  and  Connie  Foster  is  the 
assistant  editor.  Connie  and  Doro- 
t>"-  will  head  the  Yearbook  pro- 
ject for  1960-'61.  Congratulations* 

The  new  officers  are  tackling 
their  jobs  like  pros,  and  Dr. 
Crowder.  our  faithful  sponsor,  is 
doing  a  great  job  of  cheering  us 
Juniors  on.  What  a  frustrating 
task  that  must  be!

DOING  RIGHT 

The  young  boy  listened  wide- 
eyed  to  the  old  man's  tale  of 
derring-do. 

"Yep,  son,'  the  old  man  said, 
"I  had  just  pulled  the  biggest 
bank  job  in  the  city,  and  they 
had  me  trapped.  I  was  on  the 
roof  of  a  12-story  building.  The 
police  were  closing  in  fast,  and 
I  was  out  of  ammunition." 

"Well,  what  did  you  do,  grand- 
pa, what  did  you  do?"  the  boy 
asked  excitedly. 

"Twenty-five  years,  son,"  came 
the  old  man's  reply. 


Politics  are  verv  much  like

UNKNOWN  CELEBRITY 

This  story  concerns  Marilyn 
Monroe  who  was  presented  to  a 
charming,  elderly  society  dow- 
ager. The  old  lady  said,  "You 
have  lovely  golden  hair  and 
beautiful  eyes." 

Miss  Monroe  smiled  prettily. 

"Let  me  give  you  some  ad- 
vice,' said  the  old  woman,  "you 
should  try  and  get  into  the 
movies." 

Startled  for  a  moment,  Miss 
Monroe  said  nothing.  Then  she 
said:    "I'm   Marilyn  Monroe." 

The  old  lady  smiled,  "Oh  well, 
you  can  always  change  your 
name."

A    Chapel   Catnap , 


There's  the  bell  that  ends  the  second-hour  class  and  everyone 
eagerly  hurries  to  the  auditorium.  No  one  would  miss  chapel  for 
anything  in  the  world — everyone  needs  his  sleep  too  badly! 

Now  there  are  three  ways  to  sleep  in  chapel. 

1.  You  can  put  both  feet  on  the  floor,  your  elbows  on  your 
knees,  and  rest  your  head  in  your  hands.  This  gives  the  speaker 
the  impression  that  you  are  listening,  while  actually  your  eyes  are 
closed  and  you  are  asleep.  I  would  not  advise  this  method  to  be 
used  except  in  the  last  few  rows  on  the  main  floor  but  it  is  the  ideal 
method  for  the  balcony. 

2.  T^e  second  method  is  for  people  closer  to  the  speaker  and 
when  the  seats  in  front  of  you  are  too  close  for  the  first  method. 
You  sit  very  straight  in  the  seat  with  both  arms  on  the  arm  rests, 
and  close  your  eyes.  This  way,  you  appear  to  be  at  least  half-way 
interested.  This  is  a  better  method  than  the  first  because  you  are 
more  relaxed.  But.  unfortunately,  your  head  may  begin  to  nod.  This 
of  course,  leaves  you  with  either  the  third  method  or  (Heaven  for- 
bid)— listening  to  the  speaker. 

3.  The  third  method  is  usually  your  last  resort  for  sleep — just 
lay  your  head  on  your  neighbor's  shoulder. 

Of  course,  the  terrible  alternative,  but  most  rewarding,  is  listen- 
ing to  the  speaker.  It  is  surprising  how  much  rest  and  peace  you 
:an  receive  from  hearing  someone  tell  about  Christ  and  His  love. 
Even  if  you  seem  to  think  that  you  cannot  apply  this  particular  les- 
son to  your  life,  you  can  still  remember  it  and,  who  knows,  you 
might  use  that  lesson  later  in  your  own  life  or  to  help  a  friend. 

It  could  be  that  even  if  Christ  were  to  be  speaking  in  chapel  you 
would  fall  asleep,  which  is  even  more  the  reason  for  havmg  chapel. 
When  your  fellow  students  are  seen  sitting  in  the  balcony  with  feet 
on  railing,  noses  in  books,  heads  nodding  or  on  shoulders,  and  minds 
Ear  away,  I  seem  to  hear  Christ  speak  the  age-old  question  He  asked 
Peter;  "Simon,  why  sleepest  thou?  Couldest  not  thou  watch  one 
hour?  Watch  ye  and  pray,  lest  ye  enter  into  temptation.  The  spirit 
truly  is  ready,  but  the  flesh  is  weak."  Mark  14:37-38. 


COLUIVINIST  "COLUMNIZES" 

Hi  gang! 

This  is  Blabby.  your  lovelorn  columnist. 

Since  there  are  so  many  problems  in  this  world — we  thought 
we  would  take  a  minute  of  your  time  and  discuss  them — so  here 
are  the  problems  for  the  week. 
Dear  Blabby, 

I've  never  written  a  letter  like  this  before,  but  1  don't  know 
where  else  to  turn. 

I  have  a  problem,  A  REAL  problem.  I  don't  know  what  to  do. 
I'm  all  confused.  I  don't  know  which  way  to  turn.  I  have  even  con- 
sidered cutting  chapel.  I  am  really  in  a  dither. 

Can  you  help  me? 
Answer.  Signed,  B.  A. 

Get  a  new  chapel  seat. 
Dear  Blabby, 

I  am  almost  ready  to  graduate  from  kindergarten,  and  suddenly 
I  find  that  I  am  flunking  advanced  beanbag.  My  teacher  is  an  un- 
sympathetic nut  who  won't  take  a  bribe,  and  if  I  don't  make  at  least 
a  "D"  I'll  fail,  and  besides  that  my  parents  will  take  away  all  my 
kiddie-car  privileges. 

I'm  also  running  the  risk  of  losing  my  membership  in  the 
"BROWNIES  CLUB"  if  I  can't  weasel  that  "D"  out  of  old  Poker 
Face. 

Can  you  help  me?  Signed,  Bill  S. 

Answer. 

Simply  convince  old  Poker  Face  that  you're  a  sincere,  hard- 
working, genuinely  interested,  serious-minded  student  (which  you 
undoubtedly  are  by  your  letter),  and  if  that  doesn't  work,  rig  the 
beanbags. 
Dear  Blabby, 

It  seems  that  on  November  4,  1959  at  8:01  in  the  evening.  I  be- 
gan to  feel  that  CJeorge  Washington  (born  in  1732,  on  February  22 
at  exactly  7:32  in  the  morning)  and  Abraham  Lincoln  (bom  in  1809 
at  exactly  8:09  in  the  morning)  had  fought  a  losing  battle  as  far  as 
my  106.5  students  were  concerned. 

Tell  me,  what  can  I  do  with  the  brats  to  make  them  study? 

Signed,  I.  Emma  Prof 
Answer, 

First  of  all  you  must  get  rid  of  these  two  imposters  who  are 
causing  all  the  disturbances  in  your  class— everyone  knows  that 
George  and  Abe  died  many  years  ago.  We  are  happy  to  hear  that 
your  students  realize  this  and  are  putting  up  a  patriotic  fight. 

Well.  gang.  I  guess  that's  all  the  problems  I  can  handle  for  this 
week,  but  if  you  have  any  problems — don't  write  me  about  them! 


Alumni  To  Present 

(Continued  From  Page  One) 

Mr.  Eugene  Price,  Registration. 

The  Registration  Committee 
will  have  guest  lists  in  all  dormi- 
tories and  the  Administration 
Building.  All  visitors  are  urged 
to  register  in  one  of  these  places. 

"Traditionally  Yours"  is  the 
central  theme  for  the  outside 
decorations  this  year.  This  theme 
has  been  chosen  as  a  special  way 
to  welcome  the  Alumni  and  in- 
form them  of  Milligan's  progres- 
sive spirit. 

Each  class,  dormitory  council, 
and  several  campus  organiza- 
tions are  co-operating  to  decorate 
chosen  locations  on  campus.  Each 


decoration  will  be  an  elaboration 
of  the  central  theme.  Credit  will 
be  given  for  decorations  on  the 
banquet  program. 

Light  blue,  white,  and  silver 
will  carry  out  the  banquet  dec- 
oration theme,  "Winter  Wonder- 
land." Since  the  weather  is  cold- 
er, a  winter  theme  was  chosen. 

TTie  menu  for  the  banquet  has 
been  announced  as  follows: 

Turkey 

Dressing       Spicy  Apple  Rings 

Sweet  Potato  Souffle 

French  Beans  with  Onion  Rings

VETERANS  CLUB 

By  Joseph  Bryant 

We  are  all  looking  forward  to 
the  big  event  on  December  2. 
This  is  not  only  a  big  event  for 
us,  but  we  feel  it  will  be  a  bene- 
fit to  all  members  of  the  Milligan 
family. 

The  entertainment  will  be  ex- 
cellent, as  we  are  going  far  and 
wide  to  acquire  good  talent. 
Along  with  this  talent,  we  will 
also  present  some  talent  from 
our  own  club. 

Remember,  whether  you  like 
soft  music  or  loud  music,  you  will 
thoroughly  enjoy  the  Veterans' 
Social. 


Christmas  Music  Planned

have  undertaken  the  perform- 
ance of  the  inspiring  music  of 
The  Messiah,  and  it  is  a  great  op- 
portunity for  those  who  love 
beautiful  music.  Here  is  more 
good  news:  it  will  be  free  to  us 
poor  Milligan  students!  Ihe 
Christmas  sections  will  be  sung 
by  the  Concert  Choir,  and  the 
Trial  and  Crucifixion  sections 
will  be  presented  by  the  Touring 
Choir.  The  thrilling  "Hallelujah" 
chorus  will  be  sung  by  the  com- 
bined choirs.  The  direction  of  the 
entire  production  will  be  under 
Mr.  Richard  Tappa.  All  of  you 
save  the  evenings  of  December 
7  and  9,  Monday  and  Wednesday, 
at  8:00  p.m.  to  attend  The  Mes- 
siah. 

The  Touring  Clioir  has  been 
busy  since  the  middle  of  Septem- 
ber with  concerts  both  at  Milli-

The  Concert  Choir  presented  a 
fine  performance  of  "Down  in 
the  Valley"  on  November  10  and 
11.  The  contemporary  opera  was 
a  great  success  and  everyone  who 
attended,  as  well  as  the  members 
of  the  Concert  Choir,  enjoyed  it. 


The  Excursion 

Saturday,  November  14,  1959, 
five  girls,  Phyllis  Laws,  Nancy 
Sahli,  Bonnie  Allee,  Sylvia  Lums- 
den  and  Gail  Jean,  accompanied 
by  Mrs.  Bowers,  went  out  hunt- 
ing decorations  for  Founder's 
Day. 

First  of  all  they  met  at  Mrs. 
Bowers  house  and  had  a  very 
nice  meal.  Ask  Nancy  Sahli  how 
good  it  was! 

They  then  went  hunting  for 
milkweed  pods.  After  they  found 
them  they  all  sat  around  in  a 
little  group  and  picked  out  the 
silky  fuzz.  They  had  a  pile 
of  fuzz  which  ended  up  in  a  little 
fuzzy  fight. 

Meanwhile,  Phyllis  Laws  was 
hanging  around  in  the  trees, 
hunting  little  branches  for  dec- 
oration. 

The  next  move  was  to  find 
some  cattails.  They  wandered  up 
and  around  some  roads  and  hills 
and  ended  up  at  Watauga  Dam. 
Mrs.  Bowers  asked  the  attendant 
where  they  could  find  some  cat- 
tails and  he  told  them  that  there 
was  a  wonderful  place  a  little 
way  down  the  road. 

After  they  found  this  place 
they  had  to  climb  down  a  hill  of 
big  rocks,  to  get  to  this  marshy 
swamp,  and  I  mean  marshy.  They 
found  all  the  cattails  that  they 
wanted  but  they  had  to  wade  in 
this  swampy  mixture  to  get  to 
them.  After  losing  their  shoes  and 
getting  all  muddy,  they  had  to 
climb  back  up  the  rocks.  For  a 
minute  they  were  mountain 
climbers. 

They  loaded  the  car  with  these 
decorations  and  came  back  a 
pretty  tired  group. 

Oh,  yes,  ask  Sylvia  about  her 
lipstick.

VARSITY  VOICES 

Something  new  has  been  added 
— the  organization  and  direction 
of  cheer  block,  the  club  is  now 
supporting  a  pep-band.  Helping 
with  the  organization  and  direc- 
tion of  the  band  is  Steve  HilL  At 
the  home  games,  the  band  will 
boost  the  enthusiasm  of  the  team, 
cheerleaders.  Varsity  Voices,  and 
the  fans. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  club  on 
Tuesday,  November  17,  president 
Anita  Hiner,  urged  members  to 
pay  their  dues  to  build  up  the 
funds  for  the  present  activities 
of  the  club.  It  has  been  decided 
that  members  will  wear  black 
sweaters  and  orange  collars  with 
black  "M's"  on  them.  Those  in 
the  club  who  will  be  attending 
all  of  the  games  signed  up  for 
positions  in  the  cheer-block.  Co- 
chairmen  of  the  flash  cards  com- 
mittee, Marilyn  Hutton  and  Jean 
Wicoff,  explained  how  the  flash 
cards  would  operate  and  what 
some  of  the  patterns  and  forma- 
tions would  be.  Following  this, 
Marilyn  taught  the  club  a  hand- 
routine  which  will  be  accom- 
panied by  the  pep-band  at  the 
games. 

As  Founder's  Daughter  candi- 
date, the  Varsity  Voices  elected 
senior,  Millie  Turner.  For  their 
Founder's  Day  project,  the  club 
is  responsible  for  decoration  of 
the  gym.

Tester  Scores  31  Points  As  Milligan 
Retains  Charity  Bowl  Crown 

Charlie  Tester  scored  31  points  ville  Bears,  72-67.  The  game  was 

as      the      Buffs      retained      their  close  and  exciting  throughout  the 

Charily    Bowl    Crown    Saturday,  evening.  Black  and  Taylor  scored 

November  21,  by  defeating  K.I.C.  12  each  to  help  keep  the  Buffs  in 

defending   champions,    the    Pike-  the  lead  over  half  of  the  game. 


Letter  To 
The  Editor  . . . 

"I,  for  one,  would  like  to  ex- 
press my  disdain  at  the  dates 
when  Reporters  articles  must  be 
in.  Posted  on  a  Friday  noon  on 
a  Sunday  (last  time).  Posted  on 
Monday  noon  on  Tuesday  of 
this    next  week.  (Today). 

"We  who  are  reporters  cannot 
write  an  article  containing  the 
news  until  we  know  when  the 
end  of  the  period  of  time  to  be 
covered  will  end.  To  learn  on 
Monday,  that  you  must  cover  1 
or  2  weeks  of  Club  News  for  an 
active  club  and  turn  it  in  the  next 
day  by  noon. 

"Not  only  that,  but  the  word- 
ing of  this  last  announcement  in 
conjunction  with  the  date  posted, 
is  highly  misleading.  What  is 
worse,  the  November  17,  date 
could  only  be  seen  on  close  ex- 
amination. 

"Please!  if  you'll  help  us,  we'll 
oblige   you. 

Thank  you,

IN  REPLY  .  .  . 

To  this  letter,  I  feel  it  is  well 
worth  noting  that  notices  have 
been  posted  prior  to  due  dates 
(at  least  three  day  notices  and 
as  many  as  six  day  notices)  of 
the  club  news.  This  is  sufficient 
amount  of  time  for  club  or  class 
reporters  to  gather  their  thoughts 
to  write  a  newspaper  article  con- 
cerning the  current  club  news 
and  happenings. 

Many  Colleges  of  our  size  pub- 
lish a  paper  weekly  and  bi- 
monthly. We,  of  the  staff,  feel  we 
have  made  a  definite  step  to  the 
improvement  of  our  paper  by 
publishing  it  bi-monthly  even 
though  the  size  of  it  is  cut  be- 
cause of  expense.  If  we  were  able 
to  publish  a  weekly  paper  club 
reporters  would  be  due  in  a  mat- 
ter of  hours  after  notices  are 
posted     and     not     longer     than 


twenty-four  hours.  Newspapers 
are  current  and  must  be  written 
up  in  this  view  or  else  our  pub- 
lication would  be  more  of  a  jour- 
nal. 

In  this  edition,  not  only  was  an 
announcement  on  the  bulletin 
board  in  the  administration  build- 
ing posted  on  Saturday  before 
due  date  on  Wednesday,  but  an 
oral  announcement  at  the  noon 
meal  was  made  on  Monday  prior 
to  this  Wednesday.  As  to  whether 
the  printing  on  the  posted  an- 
nouncement is  visible  afar  or 
close  is  inessential  in  our  estima- 
tion. Student  bulletin -boards  are 
to  read  daily  if  not  more  often. 
I'll  close  with  this  quotation  from 
Coach  Stout:  "Students  at  Milli- 
gan do  not  read  the  bulletin 
boards." 

Thank  you  for  your  letter.  This 
shows  you  are  interested  in  our 
newspaper  work.

Grateful 


I'm  thankful  for  all  loveliness, 
Which  I  have  seen  or  known, 
And  thankful,  loo,  for  barren 
fields 
Where  stormy  winds  have 
blown. 
I  could  not  know  the  difference 
now 
If  all  had  been  content. 
And  so  I  thank  Thee,  God,  today 
For  all  that  1'hou  hast  sent. 

I'm  thanking  Thee  for  mercies 
given 

To  these,  my  loved,  and  me. 
Our  spirits  bow  to  Thee,  my  God. 

In  all  Thy  majesty. 
We  thank  Thee  for  Thy 
presence  here 

Our  unseen  guest  to  be; 
Lord  fill  our  hearts  with  holiness. 

With  thankfulness,  and  Thee. 

We're  thankful  for  this  still 
clear  light 
That  has  above  us  shone. 
Still  give  us  strength  to 
venture  on 
Ihrough  paths  by  us  unknown. 


We've  learned  to  know  Thy 
mercies,  Lord, 
Through  ways  by  us  unsought. 
And  so  we  thank  Thee,  God, 
today 
For  all  the  years  have  brought. 


UP -TRADING 

The  lady's  husband  had  been 
missing  for  more  than  a  week, 
and  she  asked  a  friend  to  go  with 
her  to  the  bureau  of  missing  per- 
sons. There  she  described  her 
husband  as  "tall  and  handsome, 
with  black  hair  and  pretty  white 
teeth." 

Her  friend  gasped.  "Why.  you 
know  your  husband  is  short,  fat, 
bald,  and  hasn't  a  tooth  in  his 
head!" 

"Sh-h-h."  shushed  the  wife.  "I 
know,  but  who  wants  that  back?" 


"One-eyed,  Two-horned  .  .  ." 

A  mountaineer,  seeing  his  first 
motorcycle  on  the  road,  raised  his 
rifle  and  shot  away. 

"Did  you  got  that  vamiit?"  his 
wife  asked. 

"Hit  it,  but  didn't  kill  it."  he 
said.  "I  can  still  hear  it  growl- 
in' — but  I  shore  made  it  turn  that 
pore  man  loose!"

THE      STAMPEDE 


Thursday,  November  26,  1959 


BASKETBALL  STARTS  TONIGHT 


By  "Wig- 
Tonight  is  what  a  lot  of  peo- 
ple have  been  waiting  to  see. 
Milligan  officially  opens  the  '59- 
'60  season  against  the  Alumni. 
The  Cheek  Gymnasium  should  be 
packed  with  the  Founder's  Day 
crowd  waiting  to  see  the  school 
representatives  for  the  new  sea- 
son. The  game  should  be  a  very 
good  one  with  a  lot  of  spirit 
gathering  between  varsity  and 
grade.  jj| 

Milligan  should  be  in  fair  shape 
after  a  few  scrimmage  games.  A 
few  injuries  will  hinder  the  local 
five  in  attack.  Lowell  Williams 
and  Bill  Hyder  are  suffering 
from  ankle  injuries.  But  both  are 
expected  to  be  ready  for  the  start 
of  the  schedule.  A  prospective 
five  for  the  local  squad  include: 
Terry  Black  and  Lew  Taylor,  For- 
wards; Charlie  Tester,  Center; 
Lowell      Williams     and     Bobby 


Sams,  Guards. 

Co-Captains  for  this  year's 
team  are  senior,  Bobby  Sams, 
and  junior,  Charlie  Tester. 

The  Alumni  squad  will  provide 
all  the  competition  that  the 
Buffs  will  want.  TTie  team  will 
be  composed  of  players  who 
have  graduated  in  recent  years. 
The  Alumni  will  have  plenty  of 
players  whom  the  upperclassmen 
will  recognize.  This  squad  in- 
cludes such  past  stars  as  Sonny 
Smith,  Del  Harris,  Dennis  Green- 
well,  Al  Coveil  and  Roger  Size- 
more. 

This  Saturday  we  entertain 
Maryville,  one  of  the  new  teams 
on  the  schedule.  Maryville  has  a 
pretty  fair  team  this  year  and 
this  should  prove  to  be  a  good 
game. 

Let's  all  get  out  and  back  the 
Buffs  as  they  start  out  this  "New 
Year." 


Roundball  Begins  For  Girls 


WEIGHTLIFTING  IS  ADDED 


By  Randal  Erwin 
Milligan  College  has  recently 
added  weightlifting  to  its  physi- 
cal development  program.  A 
quantity  of  weights  and  bars 
have  been  placed  in  the  boys' 
dressing  room.  Weightlifting  has 
always  been  a  part  of  the  ath- 


letic program  designed  to  help 
the  athletes  get  into  condition. 
The  equipment  is  now  available 
to  any  student  who  desires  to  use 
it.  Both  Coach  Stout  and  Coach 
Walker  urge  all  the  students  to 
take  advantage  of  this  equipment 
and  opportunity  to  develop  their 
bodies  physically. 


Mid-Term  Quiz 

Down  the  Halls  of  Hardin 
I'here  isn't  a  sound 
Those  noisy  loud  mouths 
Are  nowhere  around. 

In  every  neat  room 
A  pin  could  be  dropped 
A  few  tears  are  heard 
From  Fresh's  who  flopped. 

Once  in  a  while 
We  hear  a  loud  moan, 
"Oh  —  my  goodness,  are 
My  grades  going  home?" 

Yes,  I'm  afraid  we 
Freshman  know  more 
About  Milliean  life 
Than  ever  before. 

We'll  study,  we'll  sweat 
With  nerves  all  on  end 
Some  day  —  Success 
You  bet  ya'  we'll  win.

FLUSHED  AND  HAPPY 

A  man  owned  a  bird  dog  he 
claimed  was  the  world's  greatest. 
One  day  he  was  walking  down 
the  street  with  his  dog  when  sud- 
denly it  froze  in  the  traditional 
bird-in-the-grass  pose  as  a  man 
with  a  shopping  bag  in  his  arms 
approached. 

"Do  you  happen  to  have  a  game 
bird  in  your  bag?"  the  dog-owner 
asked. 

"No,"  replied  the  man  with  a 
laugh,  "but  my  name  does  hap- 
pen to  be  Partridge."

between  Team  2  and  Team  5.  The 


closely-fought  battle  ended  with 
Hammack  winning  over  Sahli 
29-26.  Ruth  Hammack  was  high 
with  25  points.  Nancj'  Sahli  and 
Hope  Deyton  led  the  defeated

themselves  were  Nancy  Phillips 
for  Team  2  and  Janet  Knowles 
and  Yvonne  Shafer  for  Team  5.

An  abundance  of  floor  bums 
and  bruises  have  been  showing 
up  on  the  girls  since  basketball 
season.  One  thing  to  be  said  about 
their  playing — they  surely  keep 
the  gym  floor  clean!

The  "Dixieland  Delightfuls,"  presented  by  the  Veterans'  Club

^^Portrcdts  of 

Christmas"  Successful 

The  entire  student  body  enjoy- 
ed a  Christmas  party  given  by  the 
Student  Council  on  December  12. 
The  party,  called  "Portraits  of 
Christmas,"  had  as  its  theme  the 
various  phases  of  Christmas. 

The  means  of  presenting  this 
theme  was  a  dramatic  reading 
and  several  songs  of  both  spiritual 
and  secular  nature  performed 
from  a  gigantic  frame.

Another  Successful 
Founder^s  Day 
Completed  At  Milligan 

Founder's  Day  was  truly  a  suc- 
cess! "It  was  good  to  see  so  many 
of  the  old  faces  around  the  cam- 
pus again,"  was  the  remark  of 
many  juniors  and  seniors.  It  was 
a  busy  day  for  all,  visiting  and 
attending  classes,  open  house, 
and  then,  of  course,  the  banquet. 

The  crowd  was  large  and  the 
food  was  good  and  everyone  en- 
joyed himself  at  the  banquet. 
Ihe  decorations  were  beautifully 
arranged  by  Mrs.  Rowena  Bow- 
ers, who  put  in  many  hours  of 
hard  work.  The  program,  al- 
though a  little  lengthy,  was  very 
suitable  and  interesting. 

Miss  Ruth  Hamraack,  1959 
Founder's  Daughter,  looked  love- 
ly in  a  full  length  white  dress. 
She  was  sponsored  by  the  M  Club

TAKE  TIME  TO  BE  THANKFUL 

It  would  be  well  worth  the  effort  if  each  student  would  stop  at 
least  once  during  this  busy  holiday  season  to  survey  the  real  mean- 
ing of  Christmas.  In  the  chapel  message  by  Dr.  Webb,  on  December 
10,  many  students  learned  and  were  reviewed  of  the  origin  of  many 
of  our  Christmas  traditions.  In  closing  Dr.  Webb  emphasized  an 
important  thought  —  that  which  pertains  to  our  being  thankful  dur- 
ing this  Christmas  season.  He  stressed  this,  not  in  a  "mystical"  way 
of  putting  Christ  into  Christmas,  but  in  a  manner  of  the  actual 
reality  of  the  true  meaning  of  Christmas. 

God  gave  us  His  Son  and  God  allowed  His  Son  to  die  for  us. 
Through  the  efforts  of  great  men  we  live  in  the  democratic  country 
that  exists  today.  By  the  untiring  efforts  of  many,  we  obtain  and 
attain  the  many  resources  and  utilities  that  we  possess  today. 
Through  the  work  and  effort  of  our  parents,  our  loved  ones,  and 
friends,  we  are  where  we  are  today.  As  we  enjoy  our  Happy  Holi- 
day Season,  we  should  remember  the  preceding  events  which  made 
it  a  Happy  Holiday  Season.    Be  Thankful!  and  Appreciative!

The  premier  (or  first)  session  of  the  Christian  Youth  Workers' 
Seminar,  Friday  the  fourth,  featured  a  panel  discussion  on  'The 
Youth  Minister."  The  program  was  divided  into  three  twelve  min- 
ute lecture  sessions  by  the  panelist,  each  followed  by  six-minute 
question  and  answer  periods.  Les  Rengstorff  treated  the  subject  of 
Methods  and  Materials  of  the  Youth  Minister.  Eric  Crites  dealt  with 
some  peculiar  problems  of  the  Youth  Minister,  and  Teeter  Robinson 
introduced  some  ideas  and  suggestions.  Ray  Rensi  was  moderator. 
We  were  pleased  to  see  the  interest  of  twenty-nine  students  and 
Mom  Kenlow  and  Mom  Nice.  Watch  for  an  armouncement  of  our

Varsity  Voices 

By  Joy  Fisher,  Reporler 

The  Varsity  Voices  cheerblock 
made  its  grand  debut  at  the 
Maryville  game  on  Saturday,  No- 
vember 28.  Various  flash  card 
formations  and  unified  cheering 
were  used  to  encourage  school 
spirit.  After  Christmas  the  flash 
cards  and  pep  band  will  play  a 
permanent  part  in  all  home 
games.  We  are  still  in  need  of 
male  members.  The  only  qualifi- 
cation—a BIG  MOUTH. 

As  their  Founder's  Day  decora- 
ting project,  the  club  placed  an 
economy-sized  telegram  outside 
Cheek  Hall.  The  telegram  was 
addressed  to  the  coach  and  team, 
and  assured  them  of  the  full  sup- 
port of  the  student  body. 

Two  of  the  minor  projects  the 
club  has  taken  on  are  the  setting 
up  of  a  roster  in  the  gym — list- 
mg  the  members  of  our  team,  and 
the  selling  of  monogrammed 
stationery  and  labels. 

Much  of  the  school  spirit  so 
effectively  demonstrated  at  the 
State  game  was  initiated  at  the 


Wednesday  night  pep  rally   and 
promoted  by  the  pep  band.

Sophomore  Class  News 
By  Frances  Shipley,  Reporter 
The  Sophomore  class  met  Fri- 
day, December  4.  and  many 
topics  of  interest  were  discussed 
by  the  class.  Among  them  was 
the  success  of  the  Chili  supper 


given  at  the  Pet  Dairy. 

We  want  to  give  our  thanks  to 
every  student,  faculty,  and  com- 
munity member  who  helped  make 
this  a  success.  We  want  to  thank 
the  members  of  the  class  who 
helped  plan  and  carry  out  the 
supper.  A  big  thanks  goes  to  the 
"Big  Twelve,"  who  so  ener- 
getically and  voluntarily  cleaned 
up  after  the  supper. 

We  also  discussed  the  sale  of 
the  mums  on  Founders  Day.  We 
would  like  to  say  thanks  to  Nor- 
ma Barker  and  her  committee 
who  so  faithfully  worked  and 
sold  the  flowers. 

We  think  our  class  officers  are 
the  very  best  and  we  want  to 
congratulate  them  on  the  fine 
work  they  are  doing  m  leading 
the  class.  They  are  as  follows: 
Dick  True,  President;  Ron  Sturtz, 
Vice-President;  Barbara  Byrd. 
Secretary ;  Tom  Barkes,  Treas- 
urer. 

And  last,  but  not  least,  we  wish 
to  thank  our  wonderful  sponsor. 
Miss  Barthold,  for  sticking  with 
us  in  all  our  many  new  and  varied 
projects  and  plans. 

The  class  is  looking  forward 
with  "high  hopes"  to  many  new 
projects. 

Senior  Class  News 

The  "mainest"  item  on  the

Girls^  Intramurals 

By  Yogi 

Basketball  is  now  in  full  swing 
and  has  brought  some  mighty  ex- 
citing games.  The  lowest  scoring 
game  was  one  between  teams  3 
(Elliott)  and  4  (Cox)  in  which  the 
score  ended  up  as  15-8  in  favor 
of  Elliott's  team.  In  contrast,  a 
game  between  teams  7  (Swinford) 
and  5  (Sahli)  found  the  scoring 
high  as  the  game  ended  with 
Swinford  over  Sahli  54-46. 

The  majority  of  the  games  finds 
the  scoring  high.  Joanne  Swin- 
ford is  high  scorer  thus  far,  hav- 
ing scored  33  points  in  one  game. 
Girls  with  the  top  five  averages 
are  as  follows: 

Swinford,  23  2/3%;  Haramack, 
20  3/5%;  Sahli,  17  3/4%;  Deyton, 
17  1/4%;  Jean,  13  3/5%.

the  varsity  game  of  the  28th  and 
was  played  between  Gar>'  Johns' 
team  and  Phil  Storey's  team. 

If  every  game  is  to  be  played

an  interesting  season.  The  games 
are  played  on  Monday  and  'Thurs- 
day nights  starting  at  6:45  p.m. 
and  everyone  is  invited  to  come 
out  and  cheer  the  boys  on.  One

This  was  another  tight  one  but 
a  loss  in  the  second  half.  The 
score  doesn't  indicate  that  the 
game  was  very  close,  but  to  all 
viewers  the  Buffs  were  in  the 
game  down  until  the  final  three 
minutes. 

Milligan  got  started  off  on  the 
right  foot  and  grabbed  the  lead 
at  the  start,  but  the  Eagles  came 
roaring  back  behind  guard  Chris 
Jones'  hot  shooting.  Milligan 
made  a  strong  comeback  to  cut 
the  deficit  down  to  one  point  at 
half  time. 

In  the  second  half  Milligan 
again  surged  ahead  in  the  open- 
ing minutes.  But  again  the 
Eagles  came  back  to  grab  the 
lead  and  never  lost  it  from  then 


Milligan  Edges  Slate 
College  66  ■  62 

The  fired-up  Buffaloes  stepped 
into  Memorial  Building  gym- 
nasium and  won  their  fourth  in 
a  row. 

The  game  was  a  see-saw  affair 
until  about  the  last  8  or  9  min- 
utes of  the  game.  The  lead  chang- 
ed hands  six  times  and  the  score 
was  tied  five  times. 

During  the  first  half  the  score 
stayed  very  close  until  the  clos- 
ing minutes  of  the  half.  State 
pulled  out  in  front  with  a  five- 
point  lead,  their  biggest  lead  of 
the  game,  but  this  was  closed  to 
one  point  by  the  time  the  buzzer 
blew  at  halftime. 

The  second  half  saw  State  pull 
away  to  a  five-point  lead,  but 
only  to  have  it  quickly  erased  by 
quick  buckets  by  Black  and  Wil- 
liams. Milligan  got  the  lead  at 
42-41  with  14  minutes  remaining 
in  the  game. 

The  lead  was  never  lost  after 
this.  With  seven  minutes  to  play 
Milligan  got  its  biggest  lead  with 
an  8-point  advantage.  Milligan 
went  into  a  stall  and  held  on  to 
the  lead  until  the  final  gun. 

Coach  Duard  Walker's  cagers 
featured  a  well-balanced  attack. 
There  were  four  men  in  double 
figures  and  all  nine  men  who 
were  in  the  game  scored.  The  four 
men  in  double  figures  were  Black, 
14;  Tester,  13;  Williams,  12;  and 
Taylor,  11. 

Milligan  won  the  game  at  the 
charity  line.  The  Buffaloes  were 
outscored  by  five  field  goals,  but 
hit  14  more  free  throws  than 
State. 


BUFFS  DOWNED 
TWICE  ON  ROAD 

It  was  a  long  trip  for  Coach 
Walker  and  his  cagers  to  Mary- 
ville  and  Tennessee  Wesleyan. 
The  Buffs  received  a  couple  of 
losses  by  a  single-point  deficit. 

At  Maryville  the  Buffs  were 
leading  a  good  part  of  the  game, 
but  the  final  few  minutes  found 
Maryville  taking  over.  This  was 
a  low-scoring  game  where  a  lot 
of  defense  was  executed.  Ilie 
final  score  was  58-57.  Leading  the 
Buffs  in  scoring  were  Terry  Black 
with  12  and  Bobby  Sams  with  10. 

At  Tennessee  Wesleyan  the 
score  stayed  close  all  the  way. 
Milligan  had  a  chance  to  pull  it 
out  of  the  fire  in  the  last  minute 
with  free  throws,  but  missed  all 
three  chances  they  had.  Leading 
the  local  cagers  in  scoring  were 
Terry  Black  with  21,  and  Charles 
Tester  with  16,  and  Bobby  Sams 
with   16. 


Milligan  had  a  very  cold  night 
from  the  field  and  was  out  scored 
considerably  from  the  free  throw 
line.  Leading  the  scorers  were 
Charlie  Tester  with  18  and  Bill 
Harrell  with  16- 


It's  nice  to  see  the  World  War 
II  movies  on  the  late,  late  TV. 
I  had  forgotten  what  a  lovable, 
high-spirited  bunch  of  boys  we 
were.

Huffs  Defeat 
Ex-Buffs  100-82 

Thanksgiving  night  saw  a  lot 
of  old  friends  greeting  each  other 
on  the  basketball  floor.  The  in- 
troduction before  the  game  found 
former  Milligan  Cagers  back  to 
the  class  of  '51,  which  Kenny  Hy- 
de r  represented. 

Coach  Walker's  squad  reached 
the  century  mark  of  a  well-bal- 
anced attack.  The  attack  was  led 
by  four  men  in  double  figures. 
Topping  the  Buffs  in  scoring  was 
Terry  Black  with  20  points.  An- 
other factor  in  the  game  was  that 
all  13  men  on  the  squad  scored. 

The  Alumni  was  led  by  Sonny 
Smith's  28  points.  He  was  follow- 
ed up  by  Del  Harris's  14.  The 
alumni  squad  had  a  little  trouble 
with  the  length  of  the  floor.
