QUAKER Vol. XVI. WHITTIER, CALIFORNIA, OCTOBER 3, 1929 No. 4 Returning Glee Girls Meet Miss Terpstra Wednesday, Oct. 2, the Girls' Glee Club held its first regular meeting. During the past two weeks try-outs have been held for new mmebers, and much new talent has been added to the Club. A meeting of all past members was held Monday, Sept. 23, Francis Bragg, president, presided and presented Miss Terpstra, the new director, who has already won much admiration and praise for W., and who discussed plans for her spirited song-leading in Y. the coming year. As the Club has not had a very well-defined set of rules hitherto, a committee was appointed to draw up a Constitution, and at the same time a committee was appointed for the choosing of costumes, a task which involves more discussion and interest than any other of the year. Both Miss Terpstra and the members of the Club are enthusiastic over the outlook for the year, and expect the best of results. COLLEGE CHOIR FORMED FOR CHAPEL There has been a new organization formed on the campus known as the College Choir. It has been organized under the supervision of Prof. Hockett for the purpose of singing at the Chapel hours on Wednesdays. It has already appeared at the Friends Church with a certain amount of success and it promises to be a real asset in the future. It is composed entirely of college students and almost entirely by members of the combined glee clubs. The membership to date is as follows: sopranos, Miss Richardson, Miss Gregory, Miss Baker; altos, Miss MacDonald, Miss Sea- well, Miss Whistler; tenors, Mr. Clevenger, Mr. Hornaday, Mr. Kimber; basses, Mr. Ringland, Mr. Tomlinson, Mr. Smith.

Y. W. C. A. Group Sponsors Party The Men's Glee Club is rapidly getting knocked into shape. Try- outs for all sections have been in order and some new talent has been favorably presented within the last week. Final arrangements have not been made and will not be until a few practices have been gone thru to get the best voices in the right sections. Verily, verily the club has seen no better days—imagine, if you will, a time when the club has had enough applicants try out that some of the returning men are dubious of holding their former positions! Such is the case and it looks at present as if Harry Smith is going to have a glee club which any fellow would be glad to take to the Grand Canyon, and throw in). The pianist has not been chosen or the business manager although there are multitudes clamoring for both positions. Watch for their first concert and don't lets hear any more criti- cisors say that the school never gets a chance to hear the club. As an aid to the student and ( to the advertiser, the Campus has released some cards which are to be placed in the windows of the stores which advertise in the Quaker Campus. Our advertisers pay good money for the space in our college publication, let us reciprocate by giving them our trade. Did you ever stop to think that each of the students of Whittier College average a spending amount equal to or more than one dollar a day? Think what this would mean if it were put in the hands of the best stores in town, such as our advertisements represent. They can afford then to give us the best goods for the money, and when the time comes to stand back of the college, as they have for years. We owe it to them, so let's look for the little placards and remember that they represent the best in town. Beware of Substitutes! Shun the place without the pass-word, and in passing by, softly shriek, "Unclean! Unclean!" The annual "Dove Party," under the auspices of the Y. W. C. A., was held Tuesday, Sept. 24. This affair was for the purpose of bringing the "Big Sisters" and "Little Sisters" together, and also of getting acquainted with the women of the faculty and wives of faculty members. As such it was a great success. At six o'clock everyone met in the amphitheatre, where Big Sisters shared a lunch with their Little Sisters. After the lunches were consumed (not forgetting the free punch), the girls convened in the Auditorium, where an interesting program was presented. As the first number Florence Binford played two violin solos, "Canzonette," by Ambrosio, and "Rondino" by Kreisler, accompanied by Eldine Hamm. Edith MacDonald then favored with a (Continued on page 6) The Whittier College Museum has been the recipient of a gift which promises to be especially useful to biology students. The gift consists of a large collection of ferns, collected in England about 1850. The collection includes some rare specimens as well as some of the varieties which we have become acquainted with here in this country. The collection has been very carefully catalogued and is at present in the hands of Dr. Watson, who will transfer them to a place where they will do the most good. We wish to thank for this collection Mrs. William P. Buffum, of Philadelphia, who has made it possible, through considerable trouble and expense, for the complete collection to be transferred safely from the east to the west, and put in the hands of our biology department. Prof. Wilkie Writes Series Of Articles For Class Magazine Frosh Win In Pushball Contest Biology Club Holds First Meeting ASSEMBLY FUTURE EVENTS Thursday, Oct. 3—Y. M. and Y. W.—Chapel hour. Fri.day, October 4—9:45 a. in., Dr. Cherington on "Law enforcement in relation to prohibition," in the auditorium. Sat. Oct. 5—2:15 p. m. Sat. Oct. 5—2:15 p. m. Whittier vs. San Diego-State —Hadley Field. Mon. Oct. 7—4:10 p. m. Life Work Recruits. The Biology Club held its first meeting of this semester, Tuesday night, September 24th. Last year the members of the Club heard many interesting talks on many biological subjects, and we expect to have equally as interesting talks this year with our new Program Chairman. The results of the election of officers for the first semester follows: President: Floyd Durham; vice-persi- dent: Aldine Hunter; secretary-treasurer: Esther Wilkie; program chairman: Harold Bowerman; attendance chairman: Margaret Cook. We hesitate to suggest a change in the name of our library building. Still "Gossip Hall" wouldn't be so bad. Being Religious In College The problem of religion in college is twofold—says Prof. Henley: first to get the means of living; and, second, to get the meaning of life, that is, take part in life and live more adequately. Religious inspiration is not limited to certain studies. We may become more religious thru the study of science. The great scientists are humble and reverent men. Galileo said: The Bible was written to tell men how to go to Heaven, not what Heaven to go to. As we study the meaning of life, the small insignificant things fall away. Religion in college helps to acquire reverent attitudes and motives of life. Colleges will pass the need for religion when we will have better ways of living and betters ideals. When we achieve higher ideals we will come closer to religion. We will be more re<- ligious when we have cooperative living from day to day. Whittier's doughty class of '33 came out on top in the pushball contest Monday. The husky frosh overwhelmed the sophomores, bandicappel by the non-elegibility of football men, to the tune of 4-0. Freshman football candidates were allowed to participate (for the first time in many years) while sophomore sides put up plenty of fight. The game was divided into two- minute periods with a five-minute rest period in between. During the first half the sophs fought hard but were outclassed, the green ones pushing the ball over the line three times to score. In the second period the struggle was more nearly even, but the frosh gathered in one more goal to make the score 4-0. The type of contest was an unusual one for Whittier. A huge leather ball (about six and one- half feet in diameter) was placed in the center of the field at the start of the game and each side endeavored to push it over the other's goal. It sounds easy, but when there are fifteen one each side and very man determined to fight his hardest, there is plenty of excitement. There is a lot of spring in the ball, too, Conley Davies and others found out. The push-ball was furnished by the Los Angeles Fire Department and was brought over on a Barr Lumber Company truck. The contest was conducted by Coach Verne Landreth, Manley Reitz, "Gus" Wampler, Fred Ashton, and Frank Jones. Coach Landreth and Ashton acted as officials while Reitz coached the sophomores and Wampler the Frosh. The frosh team was captained by Bill Duncan, president of the class; the sophomore outfit by T. B. Morehead, class president. A good turnout of students and girls witnessed the battle. We consider it a distinct honor that one of our professors, Professor Wilkie, was asked to write a short course of lectures on the subject of Psychology and Religion. The course will appear in the October, November and December issues of the Adult Bible Class Magazine. The course attempts to present a series of studies for groups who want to know what true psychology has to say about religion. Thoughtful consideration of the thirteen discussions will give a better understanding of the hows and the whys of human behavior, and htelp men and women to interpret all life religiously. The outline of the course follows: 1.—The Physical Basis for Learning 2.—Religion and Instinct 3.—Religion and Emotion" 4.—Habits in Life and in Religion 5.—The Meaning of the Will 6.—Attention As A Factor in Religion 7.—Suggestion and Suggestibility 8.—Religion and the Feeling of Inferiority 9.—Psychoanalysis 10.—Behaviorism. 11.—Religion as Social and Solitary 12.—Religion and Science 13.—Review—Findings The first four will appear in October, the second four in November and the last five in December. Prof. Wilkie brings to a study of this subject a point of view so thoroughly sane and well-poised in its fundamental philosophy of life, so refreshingly clear, wholesome and hopeful, that it will help many a jaded or perplexed soul to discover and experience a dynamic religion. FRIDAY—STUDENT BODY MEETING Following the precendent that Friday morning's Chapel hour is to be for student programs exclusively, Dr. Coffin turned last weeks' student hour over to George Ringland, a member of the Chapel Program Committee. Janey McMurray favored us with the clever reading titled "In A Sleeping Car." Next, Joe lead the students in some pep songs in preparation of Saturday's game. Joe Bosio, the new yell leader was "introduced" and lead a few yells to show the students what he is going to do this year. The assembly closed with the singing of the Alma Mater.
