Regent Dolan, president of the Board, has served as chairman for Northern previous to the new ar-rangement as indicated above. CON GEBBIE NORTHERN PHILIP MARTINDALE GIVES FINE LECTURE TOPIC—WILD ANIMALS U. S. Forest Ranger Pre-sents Vivid Story of Per-sonal Experiences In Yel-lowstone Park Another lecture course number was presented to the students and the gen-eral public, Wednesday night, Febru-ary 13, in the Auditorium. Major Philip Martindale, who has been a United States Forest Ranger and Ranger Naturalist for seven years, was the entertainer. For a time Mr. Martindale was in charge of the Yel-lowstone National Park, the largest geyser district in the world. In the last few years he has been lecturing on his experiences, especially before college groups, this being his six-hundredth lecture. Mr. Martindale spoke on the "The Intimate Habits of Wild Animals". However, during his talk he discussed the geysers and hot springs of the Yellowstone Park, giving many inter-esting accounts of tourists. He also gave an interesting description of the life of the rangers in the park area. The rangers live about seventy miles apart and two men live in one of the cabins for six months of the winter without any change of society. They get non supplies during that time, ex-cept that they skii a long distance once a month to get their mail. Mr. Martindale said that there are about 360 types of animals and 170 types of birds in the Yellowstone Park. He described the bears quite fully, both the black and the grizzly. He gave many details about their de-velopment and their education. He spent some time on the elks, coyotes, beaver, and the osprey. Naturalists through their study, have found a large amount of intelligence and rea-soning on the part of most animals. Mr. Martindale's lecture was inter-esting; it was humorous; it was edu-cational. The audience as a whole seemed to enjoy every minute of the two hours and would gladly have stay-ed longer. Aberdeen Boy Scouts were special guests. College Radio News There has been a permanent All- College program set for Sunday at 12 noon over KABR. This Sunday's pro-gram, opened by the Speech Depart-ment, will present Phyllis Roberts in her oration, "One and Inseparable" and George Hart in his oration "Strangers." Next Wednesday, at the regular college hour, 3:15. the all-College play-ers present the "School for Scandal"; the following Wednesday, March 6, the college will give a mountaineer play with Ed. Juell, Franklin Kohl, and Eileen Gutz reading the parts. Last Wednesday's program was by Jane Feeley and Lyle Weishaar in "Memory Lane". Sunday, February 9, the weekly S. D. E. A. program over KABR was sponsored by R. R. Deimer of the local high school and E. K. Baillie, who sang several solos. GEORGE HART NORTHERN SPEARFISH BOWS TO NSTC WOLVES SCORE IS 40 TO 38 Spearfish Team Had Three Aberdeen Men ; Local Team Had Two Spearfish Men ; Stahl and Babcock Star for Locals The Northern Wolves won their first home game of the season and the second game of the conference when they stayed off the rally of the Spear-fish Yellowjackets to win 40 to 38. Early in the last quarter the Yellow-jackets spurted to swamp the Wolves but their quest was in vain. While the Wolves had a large lead in the first of the game they squeezed through with a two-point margin. The game was slow in the begin-ning, but as usual the end was of the fashion that has been witnessed at Spafford in the preceding games. The Wolves took a big lead, 22 to 13, at the end of the initial period. In the second half Northern kept on piling up a big lead of 33 to 18 when Spear-fish thought that it was enough and started their rally and kept whittling at the lead until the last few minutes of play when they were within six points of the Wolves' lead. At the end of the game the Yellowjackets were bombarding at their basket, but none of the attempts were successful. It was the fifth set-back of the week ')f their "Suicide Trip". The game had many local interests as two of the players came from Spearfish, John Scheidt and Ralph Keene. Also three Aberdeen boys were on the Spearfish team, Art Len-hart, a last years Frosh star; Joe Biegler and Bert Dent, both team-mates of Lenhart's in High School. For Northern, the players to get in the lime light were Johnny Stahl (Continued on Page 3) The Exponent Northern State Teachers College VOLUME XXXIII ABERDEEN, SOUTH DAKOTA, FEBRUARY 21, 1935 NUMBER 18 GEBBIE AND HART DEBATE VIKINGS AT STATE CAPITOL Two Northern debaters, Con Gebbie and George Hart, both of Pierre, are leaving this afternoon for the S. D. capital where they will join a picked debate squad from Augustana for an exhibition debate before a joint ses-sion of both houses of the legislature in the Senate Chamber, Friday even-ing. In addition to the novelty of the de-bate in the Senate Chamber before the law-makers of the state, the meeting with Augustana will bring together three Pierre high school graduates who debated together at Eastern State Teachers College the past two years, Johnston Jeffries of Augustana, Hart and Gebbie of Northern. The crack squad which Prof. Carl-son of the Sioux Falls College has chosen to uphold the negative at Pierre is one of the strongest devel-oped at Augustana in recent years. Francis Smith, a junior, was on the team which last year was runner-up in the national contests at Lexington, Ky. Johnston Jeffries, senior, in ad-dition to previous state honors, re-cently won the state extemporaneous contest at Springfield. Northern's representatives, who will argue the affirmative side of the ques-tion at Pierre, have won a large per-centage of their debates in contests held at Mitchell and at Moorhead, Minn., this year. The two men will return to the Northern campus for a day's rest after the Senate exhibition in preparation for the trip to St. Paul where over a hundred schools are en-tered in the largest Pi Kappa Delta debate tournament in the Northwest. Penny Carnival Held Friday Night Friday night, February 2'2, is the date for the big Penny Carnival in Spafford Gym. The committees in charge are anticipating a large crowd and plans are being made accordingly. The entire gym will be filled with booths of every sort; a great variety of entertainment will be presented. Marie Bruening is in charge of all the committees. Edythe Holden is in charge of the game of darts and bas-ketball; the "odditorium" and refresh-ments are being planned by Helen Branson, bingo, a popular game, will be presented by Virginia Reese; Alice Clute has charge of the dance and the game of horseshoe; fishpond, Julia McGovern; "lovely blow" and the ar-cade, Beatrice Moyer; guessing game and fortune telling, Lola Triggs; Ruth Jentz, floor show. Everything will be priced at one cent. The dance will be in the form of a bowery and a penny will be charged for each dance. The floor show will consist of the "Suicide Squad". Unique perform-ances will be given by - the members. Militaristic marching in its most mod-ern style and ultra-modern costumes are to set the pace for the evening dance. Danish gymnastics and clog-ging will also be included in the pro-gram. The public is cordially invited to attend. A special invitation is extend-ed by the W. A. A. to the high school students. Grade students will also find many things of interest. Bring your friends and your pennies! Dr. Lee Byrne Goes To Oklahoma City U. Dr. Lee Byrne, former head of the Northern State Teachers College edu-cation department, has recently re-ceived an appointment as head of the department of education at the Okla-homa City University at Oklahoma City. Mrs. Byrne, who has been at her home in Austin, Texas, since before Christmas, joined her husband at Ok-lahoma City. Dr. Byrne since leav-ing here has been engaged in study and research at the University of Chicago. Music Pupil Honored Maurice Dobbins, formerly of Aber-deen and member of the College Sym-phony Orchestra, has achieved many honors with the Wheaton College Men's Glee Club at Wheaton, Illinois. He has been appointed violin soloist with the glee club. He also plays in the Wheaton College Symphony Or-chestra and the Civic Symphony Or-chestra of Chicago. During the sum-mer he will travel with the Wheaton College Quintet and will be featured as violin soloist. While in Aberdeen, he was a pupil of Prof. H. E. Goodsell. Rudolph Kraushaar, state educa-tion director, was a visit-or at North-ern on Saturday. Arts and Open-House Program Has Big Crowd EXHIBITS "BEST EVER" Symphonia Music Club Spon-sors Dance, Cards and Re-freshments ; Gymnasium Crowded The program of the Arts and Open- House was probably the most success-ful of these annual entertainments. This delightful program was spon-sored by the Music Department, Fine Arts, Industrial Arts, Speech and English. The opening session was held in the auditorium. The following numbers were presented: violin solos by Leo-pold Rutter, Merritt Johnson, accom-panist; piano solos, Merritt Johnson; vocal solos, John Lukken, Grace Mc- Arthur, accompanist; string quartette, Leopold Rutter, Carol Van Walker, Franklin Mitchell, Maynard Buck; two-piano number, Grace McArthur and Edna Mae Olson; original poems, J. C. Lindberg; reading, Earl R. James. For the last number a special stage setting was used devised by Nels Johns-on. The exhibits by the various depart-ments were everything that had been promised. Unquestionably the exhib-its by the Fine nArts and Industrial Arts departments were the finest that have ever been shown. The rooms were crowded with visitors during most of the evening. The third part -of the program was the Valentine dance, cards and re-freshments sponsored by the Sym-phonia Music Club. Music was fur-nished by "The Northerners" and re-freshments were served during the evening. The Rutters, Lindbergs, Baillies, Merritt and Nels Johnsons, and Mr. Lukken were chaperons for the affair. To Prof. John Lukken, who was in general charge of the evening, many thanks are due for a delightful evening of entertainment. Lawrence Goes East President Lawrence left last Tues-day for Atlantic City where he will attend the mid-winter meeting of the N. E. A. He expects to be gone ten days or two weeks. While in the East he will visit in Washington and see Congress in action and he also ex-pects to visit his son, John, at New Haven, Conn. The Pasque Board Reports Progress Excitement is running high in the Publicity Office. With the first sec-tion of 32 pages now in the hands of the printer and the second section set up and ready to go to press, the Pasque Board feels that its work is nearing completion. Harold Ihde, ed-itor- in-chief of this year's book, Bur-ton Tiffany in charge of popularity, Margarette Leap who has nearly com-pleted her section, organizations, as well as all the members of the Pasque Board have been working diligently the past few months. Amy McPhee has handed in her section on classes, .one of the most important parts of the Pasque, and the two athletic divis-ions, under the direction of Harold Tiemens and Alice Clute, are fast be-ing completed. The whole school awaits the issuance of the Pasque in May. OUR WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT SAYS BY JOE MARSHALL An Interview With L. Evan Knudsen, Formerly of Canton, S. D. Things I never knew till now—(with apologies to Winchel). The biggest question many congressional figures decide is how they'll have their eggs (perhaps not unlike legislation) scrambled. We have as yet no edifice in the Capitol Statuary Hall symbolic of S. D. I wonder if statemen are trying to decide between Deadwood Dick and Verne Sankey. That there are 1200 taxi cabs and 600 street cars in the district. (Inci-dentally, on rainy days they're as hard to find as they are in Ducksberry). It isn't difficult to get a congressman to speak at a dinner here; remem-ber how we used to advertise their coming to our banquets and invariably they'd never make their appearance. The New House Office Building stands on the site of Thomas Jefferson's Home. That certain S. D. publications have rumored the Hon. Fred Hildebrandt's probable candidacy for the senate. "There's many a good tune in an old violin"—Bulow's speech on the World Court is still being hummed. The younger a congressman is the more dignified you're sure to find him (give us more of them in the 50's). We won't expect much from the House this week (Feb. 10-16) as they're adjourning over from Monday to Friday. Editor's Note: Mr. Knudsen is Assistant Secretary to the Majority Whip in the Capitol. Another Favorite son making good.
