ROGERS TELLS ABOUT POWER OF SUGGESTION
Explains Why We Grit Our Teeth Watching a Hard Trouble
"When you find yourself mimicking the actions of the pole vaulters or the halfback at an athletic meet, or repeating the facial expression of the speaker in chapel, it is the power of suggestion working on you," said Prof. D. C. Rogers of the psychology department in a talk in chapel this morning on "Suggestion."
"Suggestion is one of the important things in psychology, and the power of suggestion is indispensable to the doctor, the orator, the revivalist, the doctor has to do is to use sympathy, confidence, and display his learning.
"A revivalist has only to advertise his meetings, flatter his audience, get them to rise, sit, sing, and laugh, at his bidding, then mention their dear mothers and make them cry, and then, at the psychological moment, appeal for their confessions.
"Suggestion is invitable, and each one should constantly be exercise some suggestions on those wit whom we come in contact. How much does that we wate these suggestions to see that the are of the right kind."

COLLEGE TEAM LOSES 3 OUT OF 4 GAMES
At exactly 10 o'clock this morning at the new check stand in Fraser the serenely behind a bulwark of cheese president of the W. S. G. A. sat and ham sandwiches. There was not a trace of perplexity or anxiety on her face as she answered customers smilingly. "Yes, the coffee will be up in just a minute, the percolator is a little slow."
Losing three out of four games and missing a game through failure to catch a train is the somewhat unfortunate record of the College team of the University on its recent tour of the colleges of the state. The team returned this morning, after playing the final game of the trip last night with the College of Emporia.

En route to Wichita for a game with Friends' University Saturday evening, the team missed the train at McPherson Saturday and Sunday.

Bethany College took the next one from the Collegians at Lindsborg, on Friday, by a score of 28 to 19 in a well contested game.
The game last night with the College of Emporia resulted in a defeat by the Northwestern.

Ten minutes later the girl at the check stand poured genuine percolator coffee, clear and sparkling, in the cups of the waiting customers.
