President Speaks for Campaign.

President Clippinge r has been active. the past week in helping Dr. R. A. Hitt to p1·omote group meetings of Southeast Ohio Conference pastors to lay before them the "New Era Movemen t" recently launched by Dr. S. S. Hough, Secretary of the United Brethren Foreign Missions. Dr. Clippinger spoke before practically all the ministers 6f this conference in the last ten days with the purpose of explaining this new movement and to enlist their cooperation. He was in Rittman and Burbank over Sunday, March 2, at St. Clair St. Church in Columbus on Tuesday, Circleville on Wednesday and Baltimore on Thursday. Friday night, Professor J. P. West spoke in Murray City on this same subject.

At a later time Otterbein students and faculty are hoping to have Bishop Howard tell them some of his experiences and impressions of his recent travels.

New Campaign to Begin. Otte1 bein is about to begin an energetic and effective campaign for new students Plans are in process of making, and an expert to lead and systematize the campaign ts being sought now. As soon as such a man can be found and employed to carry on the field work this drive for students will be launched.

Despair seized me as thought of the vast multitudes who would be thrown out of work by his loss, for John was such a benevolent soul that he went .out .of his way to find lucrative positions f~r all who applied. Indeed, he .did not wait for applications. but was only too glad to supply the timid and downtrodden with some means of making a li,·ing.

The jolly brewers and saloon-keepe1·s were his dearest friends, and my heart ached as l thought of thei; sorrow, forti ey 1,eloagecl to that inner circle who would n1ourn n1osl deeply. felt sure no one cou ld ever take John's place 111 their hearts; he had done so much for the:11. and had raised their wives and daughters to the highest pinnacle of social standing.

done more for them and was able to

come closer to their hearts. The men thought sadly of their ruined lives, for they were getting old to ha·. c to begin life all over. Their

breweries and distilleries would now be turned into e,·il-smclling packing

In some instances, even the insipid ice-watermight take the place of John's own delicious drinks. Think of the sacri-lege of desecrating i:1 such a manner the time-honored institut ions so dear to John and his friends.

He taxes to pay that they became black did not hesitate to go out of his way in the face trying to meet them, but to do them favors. now, if the taxes are not increased, o w else will tl1e government ever get enou.gh revenue? Not only in Ohio, but in al l other stales as we ll , is this injustice felt. Now that John is not here to help them out, the public will have to pay them themselves. Sure l y hard times have come upon is since John died. He had often warned the people that his death would cause such hardships, and now they are beginning to rea l ize the truth oi his words. The idle brewers and bartenders may have to become revenue officia ls! ln almost every corner of every county John has left close friends - kindredsp i rits - who loved him with an undying affection.

Now, corning closer home - few 1eally imagine the extent of our loss in Westerville. Little by little we shall come to see what John's death will mean to ou1· community and our college. When we have to resort lo ordinary grapejuice or common lemonade at our pushes and ban-quets, after being accustomed to the sparkling draughts which John so generously furnished us, we will begin to realize our loss.

Let Us Hold Up His Hands.

Our revival services are in progress. They are- not only for the members of th e church and for the to wnspeople, they are as truly for every co llege stu dent and for every member of the faculty. We heard one of our professors rece ntly emphasize the fact that Dr. Burtner is the college pastor, and that it is our duty as st uden ts of the college to hold up his hands in th is series of meetings. We realize th at th e average student has numerous ca ll s upon his time. A strict sched ul e 1s necessary if he would accomp li sh all the things which he is ca lled upon to do. He has a specia l ta sk for almost every work111g hour of his day. Yet for F k ,21 \ these few weeks can we not rearrange Myrna ran ,

mischief of youth. It 1s as natural and as right for a boy to tease and play tricks as for the sun to shine, or for birds to fly. There is some inherent desire , some insistent impulse which d emands that youth give expression to the restless energy, th e abundant life which throbs within him.

Let u s have faith that right makes might, and in that faith. let us, to the end, dare to do our duty as we understand it.-Abraham Lincoln.

Our Great Los s.

With the death, during the past week, of Mi s Katherine Coblentz, of the class of '16, the number of deaths among the alumni in this last year i11creased to seventeen. And the fact • that makes our loss harder to bear is that the majority of those who have passed to the Great Beyond were still young, s till eager for life. Death 111 old age often comes as a release from pain and suffering, and we find that our so rr ow is lightened by the know -

our schedules, leave out the non-essentia ls, and attend at least the greater part of these meet111gs? Our pastor needs our support, but more than that, we ourselves need greatly the k sp1ntua 1 awa enmg and the rekindled . f Ch ent11us1asm or ristian work, which ill f w, resu 1t rom a aithful, t110ughtful attendance of the revival meetings.'

Legitimate pranks are truly funny; but when young people of college stand in g over-step the line of innocent fun, and deliberately destroy property, such jokes cease to be h1• morot1.s. They become then merely disgusting. It is a deplorable condition when the minds of the students are so la cki n g 111 harmless ideas for jokes, that they must resort to the mean practice of marring and destroying furn itur e, in order to provide themselves with an opportunity for amusement. Such students shou ld stop long enough to try to see themselves as others see them.

R. 0. T. C. Units Established

Support Y . M. ,I. C. A Otterbein has always pioneered in Y. M. C. A. work in colleges of Ohio. The Association building was the first of its kind in any Ohio College earnpus It was planned and financed by Otterbein students in conjunction I ed lieutenants. Emphasis will be with the State Executive Co.umittee. In all the years from that initial step to the present time the lo ca l association has led 111 promoting new lines of work.

Undoubtedly this record is commendable and should be perpetuated. Certainly a falling-off in the attenda nee and a lapse of interest in weekly I meetings should not occur at the present time for it 111ight mar t.,e continuous and consistent record of the past.

, Y. M. C. A. in Otterbein has a distinct function to perform in student development and college life. Regardless of society attachments or class standing all men may meet on equal basis. ] n the meetings 111dividuals are given opportunity to give their own ideas and opinions and thus personal convictions are formed and J)romoted. College fr1endsl11ps are strengthened by the heart -to- h lk d eart ta s an earnest speeches of t 11ese meetings.

Twelve Ohio co ll eges have been designated by the government for the establishment of R. 0 T C. units. The war department 1s arranging to pay all expenses and furnish all equipment. All who complete the four years' course will be commissionplaced on athletics. Units will be established at the following schools: Baldwin Wallace, Berea. Ohio State, Columbus Cincinnati University, Cincinnati Kenyon, Gambier. Municipal Uni., Akron. Ohio .Northern, Ada. Ohio Wesleyan, Delaware. St. Mary's, Dayton. Wilberforce, Xenia.

\,'ittenberg, Springfield. Steele High School, Dayton. Case. Clevelanc!.

U. of C. Students Use Paint. Freshmen of the University of Cincinnati adorned the stone lions 111 front of the main entrance to one of the University buildings, and the adjacent side walks with a coat of green paint. In consequence of this an 111quiry was held with the result that two members confessed their part1c1pat,on 111 the prank. A picture 111 a recent Cincinnati paper shows the ff guilty ones scru11 b bing t 11e o pamt the S. State St. Citizen 345 lions.

Now, 1t appears, interest 1s not as 111gh as 1t should be. Students are indifferent regarding Y M. C. A. Attendance is low but cabinet is not to blame for this. The Y. M. C. A. is ledge of this. But when we are call- , a student organization, and each ined upon to give up our .friends, men i dividual student is responsible for the , heart. may I ask?" and women, in the sple ndid strength succe ss of the meetings. The pres- I and Jo yo u s hop e of youth. we need , ent s1tuat1on demands that the men of \ th e help of God in our grief. to keep our faith true and our trust firm.

The present students of Otterbein can not feel so keenly the loss of these Alumni. as do those of the faculty and townspeople who knew perhaps each one of them as a friend. But the Tan and Cardinal wishes to express the sincere feelings of the college by saying that Otterbein feels deeply the loss of these her graduates.

Otterbein revive th e old spir it of 111 1 lerest in Y M. C. A. work, and support the cabinet 111 its administration by regular attendance a11d active participation in the meetings.-R. H.

, Y. M. C. A.

W. E. Evans was the leader of a rousing Y. M. C. A. meeting last Thursday evening.

"Bill's" remarks were ren1iniscences of the glory and prestige of Otterbein in days gone by.

"There has been considerable knocking around here this year," said Evans, "on account of the so-called ·peplessness' of the school.

"But," Bill continued, "we must not judge 0. C. by the clothes she 1s wearing th is year, but to see the real Otterbein we must look back a few years to 'pre-war' days.

"Then Otterbein was known throughout Ohio and neighboring states for the high type of men she produced and for her excellent records in athletics.

"Again, Otterbein showed her true mettle in the recent war. 0. C. has been represented by a higher percentage of students and graduates in the wa1· than any other college in the state.

"Two Otterbein men accompamed President Wilson back from France as aides on his personal staff, and an Otterbein man was · one of the first Americans to receive a French War Cross."

Evans concluded by telling of the fine work done by the ' Y's" in the cam ps and spoke of the good influence the Y. M. C. A. has had and should have now in Otterbein.
