Normal Department

The Normal students met last Nor
day evening in Upper Chapel to COM
pIete the organization for student
government Both faculty and stu
dents decided last fall that it would
he good for the students TO take
charge Of chapel on certain days and
discuss certain things relative to
their government in Berea. We, as
students. have the opportunity 10
notice things which the faculty can
not. There are things going on in
our department, as in all others, of
which most of us do not approve.
For the purpose Of discussing and
correcting some of these things, four
members from each Of the four years
were chosen to sit in council. Those
elected were, Dewey Lawson, Wilbur
Patton, Rush Curry, and Goldia
Hutchinson from the Freshman class;
Opha Wilson, Miss Chambers, Waller
Wagers, and Mr.. Dyle from the Soph-
omore class; James Pickiesimer, Roll
lin Richards, Lottie Dalton, and Lu-
ellie Mcclure from the Junior class;
and Florence Baker, Beulah Whit,
Lawrence Gabbard and Lloyd Rack
ley from the Senior class. John Will
sor is chairman of the organization.
Reports from cards which we filled
out a week or two ago show that
Sc mA of us are spending anywhere
from ten cents to six dollars a week
for food outside the Boarding Hall.
We thought this was not only an un-
necessary but also harmful expense,

Professor Dix last week went to

THE
PHYSICAL WILLIAM CULLEN
BRYANT


by Alfred r. Ross, Berea College,
Berea, Kentucky
There Is an army Of people In the
United States who assert that Physi-
cal Culture Is national craze, a
fad that has neither n sensible aim
nor a practical result. The most in
teresting thing about these people Is
their delicate bodies which are ut
terly incapable Of supporting, for
any length Of time, continuous and
strenuous mental activity. Fortunate
ly the number Of wealkings is not In
the majority, but II is hoped that the
advocates Of Physical Education will
continue to grow until at last every

themselves to blame because in the
present age conveniences are be ny
provided everywhere within reach,
in the form Of literature and gymna-
Sums, TO encourage self-activity
along physical lines. And every
vestige of cynicism might well be
disposed by the opposers Of physical
education, whether they are school
officials-and there are many-or lay.
men, because IL the government rec
ognizes its importance in the curric-
ulum Of national learning. IL is safe
to assume that il is a mental as well
as a physical necessity.
II sceptics would be convinced that
gymnastics are really useful in pro-
noting health and longevity, the fol-
lowing account Of the celebrated poet,
Bryant, will be especially significant,
for at the outstart of his life journey
he was described as being "puny and
delicate and Of very nervous tenn

that he exercised over his body
During Bryant's infancy, his father,
who was a physician in a small Mas
sachusetts village. had him plunged
into a cold pool Of water each morn

spring until late autumn-indeed,

Therefore, I have spent my money
only for things I thought would be
a benefit to me.
All have spent for things to eat
since I have been here is about thirty
cents for apples. and that is a small
amount to spend in three months.
I have gotten along just as well
by not eating between meals, and
think from my past experience
great deal better, because while I
was at home ] was eating something
most Of the time between meals, then
at meal-time I was not hungry. This
is one reason why some of us do not
like the food we have to eat here.
We eat things just before some meal,
then when we go TO the table there
is nothing that tastes good 10 us.
II was hard for me TO eat the food
here for the first few meals, and

something to eat, but I did not and

tion, for had bought something to

have had not only a big bill to pay
but bad habit to break.
II Is a bad habit to eat between
meals. a habit which, once formed.
is very hard to break. Therefore, I
think we students cannot afford to
buy and eat between meals such rich
food as cake, pie, doughnuts, candy,
salmon, onions, mustard and many
other things I could mention.
OF course, when one is not feeling
well and the food on the table does
not appeal to US, it is all right to
have a change Of food, but even then
the change should not be 70 rich,

THE ANNUAL DEBATE

Last Saturday evening one Of the
greatest annual events in the life
of the Berea student body was
held The sixteenth annual debate
between the rival societies, Alpha
Zeta and Phi Delta, was as grea.
success as ever - at least Vt
seemed so to one Of them. The ques-
ton for debate, Resolved, that the
United States should apply 70 Mex
leo the policy she has held toward
Cuba" appeared to favor the mega
tive at first thought. Thus an easy
victory for Phi Delta, who upheld
that side, was anticipated by the ma
jority present. This opinion, how
ever, was soon shown to be incorrect
by the unexpected Interpretation set
forth by the affirmative. The mega
tive were at loss how TO attack this
Interpretation since they had viewed
it in quite a different light. Being
unable to destroy the arguments thus
presented. they pleaded their cause
in vain.
Both sides preserved a tone Of
friendly rivalry, throughout which
was remarked to be the best In
wears. This debate, being the third
in a series of victories for Alpha
Zeta, gives each society eight pen
nants to their credit and will create
greater interest than ever for the
coming year.
This year the policy OF three
man team was followed by both So
cieties for the first time in their his
tory. The speakers for Alpha Zeta
we're, Sam W. Johnston, Ernest G,
Trimble, and B. Frank Hall. and
hose of Phi Delta, Raleigh Trosper,
H. Mark Wesley, and John Miller.
The judges were selected from col
Ieges in the State, Judge Lyman
Chalkley and Prof. Edward West,
coming from the University Of Ken
lucky and A. Eugene Thomson from
Lincoln Institute,
The speeches of either side showed
preparation, keen power OF
and smooth delivery.
The audience, intense with interest,
awaited the decision. The announce
ment that the judges had decided 81
in favor of the affirmative caused
an outburst of enthusiasm. The
Chapel was soon emptied and the
sympathizers Of each reassembled in
their society halls to discuss the af-
fair in detail.

BASKETBALL

The inter-school basketball series
is progressing with considerable ra-
pidity. Each Monday marks victory
for one team and defeat for another
team. School spirit runs high in en-
thusiasm but, withal, congenial.
The disinterested spectator admires
the support which each school gives
their respective teams, but he feels
somewhat disappointed at the lack of
craftsmanship displayed toward the
opposite team.
Good sportsmanship will prompt a
group of side-iine "rooters" to even
cheer a new play of an opponent.
The first game Of the afternoon was
between the College and Vocational
School. The College won by a score
Of 20 to IL. The Vocational School
showed great improvement over pre-
vious games and bids fair to end
the season with much higher stand
ard than when they entered it.
The second game was between the
Normal School and the Academy.
This was probably the hottest con-
tested game that has been played in
the gymnasium this season.
The Academy team averaged lit
tie heavier and considerably taller
than the Normal team. The height
of "Beanpole" johnson, together with
his quickness, enabled him TO lead in
the number Of baskets.
Both teams played a fast game
and both entered the game with
doubt as TO the outcome.
The Academy won by a score Of

Cullen's boyhood was marked by his
physical frailty. Strength he had
not, and so his school days were not

ments. Perhaps the only exercise he
had was derived from tramping with
some Of his schoolmates through the

Of spearmint. At such times, dur

endowed with stronger moulds and
because up to the day Of his death

pied an hour or more, after which

INSURE WITH McCLAsKEY.
HAS GOOD WORD FOR PARsNIp
Writer Declares Vegetable, Which
Seemingly Has Few Friends, Ranks
High Among Root Foods.

The parsnip seems to have few
arlstocratc friends and few poets
nave sung its praises, yet the good old
parSnip continues on its way without
encouragement. In conversation, one
hears good deal about corn, wheat,
potatoes, rye, oats, tomatoes. cauli-
flower, artichokes and beets, yet some
now, few persons discuss the parsnip.
This old vegetable was popular with
pioneer Americans--the forebears Of
so many Americans who now look on
the parSnip as too pebeian fer the
table. There can be no doubt about
the antiquity of the parsnip and there
ought to be no doubt about its re-
Spectablity. 1t was cultivated bv the
Romans long before they entered upon
their career of world conquest and
world government.
lie Romans ate this simple and
hardy vegetable during that period
when they were masters of the world.
and in their decline they continued to
serve the parsnip 1t was once wild
plant, like most, or all, the fruits and
vegetables that grow in orchard. field
and garden. 1t is still found in its wild
state along the roadsides and in waste
places throughout Europe and tenn
perate Asia, and it has many wild re-
lations in the United States.
Of the food value of the parsnip
DIR. Wiley has said: Most nutri-
tlous of all root crops except satisfy.
Carbohydrate content 1917 per cent,
nearly as high as the potato and more
than twice as high as beets, carrots or
turnips."
Friends of the parsnip contend tor
its hardness. Persons who claim to
be acquainted with its habits say that
ii will flourish in any reasonably deep
soil, and will, under favorable condi-
tons, yield a heavier crop than any
other root.
Some experience is required in pre-
pairing the parsnip for the table, but
this may be said of all other vegeta-
bles. The parsnip which has been
first boiled and then baked until there
is brown crispness about the out
side, is that parsnip which is in great
est favor with those persons who eat
parsnips.
