The Exponent Volume XXXVII No. 8 Northern State Teachers College, Aberdeen, South Dakota November 10, 1938 Skimming the Front Page By Peter Bell The front page has been well cleared for election news in the last week, but other events of first importance have not held back. For one thing Colonel Fulgincio Batista, whom the newspapers in their quaintly humorous fashion call the strong man of Cuba, is coming to confer with President Roosevelt and General Malin Craig of the United States army. Batista is about the nearest dictator to this country and rumor has it that he is the Charley McCarthy of the American sugar interests. Our distrust of dictatorships appear to be limited by the interests of the pocketbook. The big armament interests in Washington seem to be having their way. Army, Navy, and Air force are to enter the world armament race with a vengeance. Many old government plants are being opened up in order to speed the navy plans. Excitement has been raised in Europe over the Nazi German newspaper attacks on American Catholics on the occasion of the visit of Cardenal Mundelein to the Vatican. The cardinal has been outspoken against the Nazi oppression of Catholics. The Nazi press hinted darkly of conspiracy between the Roman Catholic Church and the democratic administration in Washington. Peter Bell loses his bet on Ford's new car, the Mercury. He was ready to believe Ford had shifted the motor to the rear. Ford is entering a new price class, but with no major changes that will effect the automobile industry. Budding Careers of Student Talent Program Reviewed The Student Assembly last Thursday has been received with widespread enthusiasm among faculty and students. Dean Matteson, well known master of ceremonies at two of our local theaters, headed the parade of talent. The program included Pat Schmidt and Mary Honsey in a piano duet; the popular freshman trio, "Three Ceeds;" Lucille Kirk, favorite Northernite tap dancer; Caroline Fauks, star singer; and the three trumpeters: Max Crane, James White and Madelaine Elwell. In answer to student curiosity concerning some of the artists the Exponent reporter has inquired into several budding careers. The Three Co-eds Trio, composed of Mary Alice Lipscomb, Eleanor Culp, and Evelyn Angerhoffer, all Aberdeen freshmen, began their trio a year ago for the purpose of singing at the Eaglian Follies, the Aberdeen high school amateur program. The girls received so many invitations to sing at programs, ranging from ladies' aids to the Legion Convention, that they decided to continue their trio. The girls all received training in the Aberdeen A Cappella choir. All three were in the girls sextet that won a superior rating at the state high school music contest last year. The girls' repertoire includes classical, semi-classical, and popular songs. The alto of the trio, Evelyn Angerhoffer, is leaving for California, but the trio will continue its career with Delores Bordasch, also an Aberdeen freshman, as the alto. Mary Kay Honsey, freshman from Hecla, who played the piano in the assembly program November 3, plays both classical and popular music, without preference. Mary Kay plays the violin in the college orchestra, and furnishes piano music for Dorm dances. She also plays the bass drum for the band. In high school she took part in orchestra, band, and glee club, and won an excellent rating in the state music contest in 1936 for her piano playing. She is majoring in music-of course. A sprained ankle while ice-skating sent Lucille Kirk on her way to dancing fame. Lucille Kirk, sophomore, sprained an ankle while skating a few years back. In order to build up this ankle she started dancing and has kept it up ever since. Lucille is a local product, born in Aberdeen, December 27, 1918. Her favorite pastime is dancing; both ball room and tap. Mushroom soup is her favorite food but has nothing to do with her ability to manipulate her nimble feet. Her lessons in dancing when added up equal only about eight months. Lucille plans to keep up her dancing if possible. Her plans, however, are not for chorus work but individual dancing. "None of that glamour stuff for me, I'll take the Eleanor Powell type!" "And I never took a lesson in my life." These famous "last words" were uttered by Caroline Fauks, well-known sophomore, when questioned by an Exponent reporter concerning her vocal ability. Caroline Fauks was born in a six room house on Fifteenth street in sunny Oklahoma City, July 23, 1920. An infant prodigy Miss Fauks made her grand debut in high school after constant and persistant practice. Among Caroline's likes are spinach, olives, the song Martha, and Nelson Eddy. When asked to disclose her favorite pastime she refused to commit herself, stating, however, that tennis and golf were good clean sports. She has an unusual passion for melodious fife music and believes that popular music best suits her artistic vocal chords. Caroline concluded by stating that her main ambition in life is to remain unmarried and be a career woman. District:Chairman of W.S.G.A. Picked Miss Vera Lighthall, recently elected adviser to the W. S. G. A., explained the A. A. U. W. in her address to the council at their meeting Tuesday afternoon, October 28 in the Lincoln Hall sunparlor. The council consists of officers and advisors of the W. S. G. A. namely, Bettie Barker, president; Leila Schmidt, vice-president; Caroline Fauks, secretary; Arla Stubsten, treasurer; and Dean Lillian Love and Miss Lighthall, advisors. In the absence of Caroline Fauks, Constance Berg acted as secretary. The Council decided to continue working for recognition of NSTC on the national list of membership in the American Association for University Women. Pauline Hohler, Eileen Keegan and Arlene Neill were appointed on this commttee for the ensuing year. An amendment to the constitution, which will be voted upon at the next meeting was read. Plans were discussed for district parties. Harriet Beers, chairman of district two, and Eileen Keegan, chairman of district three will plan the first party which will be for all girls in their districts, to be held before Thanksgiving in Lincoln Hall sunparlor. District Chairmen: 1. Marian Crane, Constance Berg, and Doris Elliot; 2. Harriet Beers; 3. Eileen Keegan; 4. Arlene Neil; 6. Pauline Hohler; 7. Virginia Lien; 8. Mary Ellen Anderson; 9. Mary Alice Lipscomb; 10. Elizabeth Mewaldt; 11. Betty Winter. Y. W. C. A. President - Betty Huntsinger. W. A. A. President- Mary Anne Steig. ARMISTICE DAY Let us remember now the peace they sought The words they fought for-and the broken dreams- The empty victory so dearly bought, The peace that was no peace where cruel gleams Of steel and gold were dragon's teeth for war That men unborn and blind would curse and weep. To those alive upon the day of peace So long ago-and to the unreturning Forever unaware of the world's release Let us keep still the lamp of memory burning. Neither the world or they came back to living Without a wound-some shattered, blind and lame, Some bearing scars upon their soul-forgiving- But seeing a world never again the same. All of the wizard wings and chemist's lore Served only human greed and could not keep Democracy alive in hearts of fear That hear unceasingly the tractor-creep Of steel-born dragons plunging ever near. We cannot blast a place for brotherhood With shrapnel shell or blast of cannon’s breath Witness those sons of democracy who stood To serve their foreign term in the ranks of death. -A. E. W. Jensen Aids in N.E.A. Grade Placement Study Professor J. H. Jensen, who represents South Dakota in the science department of the National Educational Association reports that at present a committee of this association is studying the problem of grade placement of science in our school system. The work is carried on by observing the courses of study in use in various large city systems and results obtained. Thus the final findings will be based on actual experiences rather than mere theory. The National Education Association is attempting to build up a membership of all science teachers in grades, high schools, and colleges. Membership now is around 3,000 members, but it is hoped that this can be built up to 5,000. From these members the state directors choose outstanding workers who are asked to give a report on work in their field at the annual meeting, held in July. These reports are incorporated into a pamphlet which is distributed to members. Among those prominent scientists whose articles have appeared are Charles Piepu, co-author of a generalscience text book in use in many schools, W. C. Croxton, of Minn. who has appeared here at science institutes, and Jerald Craig, and S. R. Powers of the Teachers College, Columbia University. Another problem being taken up by the association is the possibility of fused physical sciences as a course, rather that chemistry, physics, and the physical science separately taught. Sequania Club Holds Interesting Meeting Sequania Club met Wednesday night, November 2, at the home of Frances Olson. President Delores Hanson opened the meeting. The program consisted of French songs, conversations and a skit by Mariel Mayer, Mary Whiteside, Bruce Weir and Eugene Esche. Plans were made for the December meeting in conjunction with "Rhenania," the German club. Details will be announced later. Refreshments were served by the hostess. Students Poem Appears In Rectangle Word has been received here that the poem, "Long Bondage," by Bernice Madsen was published in the fall number of the Rectangle, National Sigma Tau Delta magazine. Miss Madsen is an active member of Sigma Tau Delta and a senior at Northern. Students Voice Varied Opinions On Neutrality You've heard the story: Two wars were fought for independence; another war was needed to free the slaves; the World War was for the cause of Democracy and now-A perspective of world activities brings a slant on "to be or not to be" Neutral. What is the opinion of NSTC students on United States neutrality and armaments ? Contrary to the notion that Northern students do not have opinions, a general survey shows that they are definite and varied. From the pens of students we quote: Bert Dent: Wave a few flags; have the bands play a few patriotic songs; have the Barons of Wall Street interested in the fighting zone; and we'll be saving Democracy again. James Gerber: We would have a better chance of staying out of a war if we should pass a law to the effect that all large production and distribution would be taken over by the government immediately upon the outbreak of a war, for the duration of the war, with no compensation whatsoever to the owner. It is only right that we should conscript wealth as well as human lives. Madelaine Elwell: We need a means of protection on our coast lines or in the air to show all aggressive nations that we are capable of taking care of ourselves. Chet Lind: Let us consider Christianity and War. I do not believe Christianity and war could walk together as they once did. How are we protecting Christianity by a war that burns churches and homes ? I venture to say that if a war were raging in the United States today, there would be more money expended for the protection of the capital building in Washington, D. C. than for all the churches in the United States. Adell Carr: Push all the amunition, with the exception of one cannon overboard. Cook, aim and fire the cannon at dictatorship. The cannon has furnished its purpose. Destroy it. Use the money given to armaments to reduce the taxes. Maynard Buck: I belive in absolute neutrality, as far as foreign wars are concerned. I believe in the protection of American soil from invasion and in an adequate defense policy. Lucille Gross: Read intelligently, evaluate the material and act only when the result will justify the expenditure of lives, time and money. Floyd Spilde: There is no possible good in war. Without a war to bring out its weaknesses, it is possible to make and maintain a strong central government. Frank Sieh: We have a degree of stability in the United States which can not be enhanced by participation in any war. Our future markets are not going to be greatly changed by dominance in Europe, but if we should find ourselves on the losing side, the result might be disastrous. If we remain neutral, that is to the extent of selling cash and carry, warring parties will be forced to contribute to our prosperity and other neutrals will not only be forced to trade with us but should remain our customers. Don Heydlauff: With the present attitude of certain "dictator" nations it is necessary that we be prepared to defend ourselves and those that enjoy our protection. Such preparedness would not be a threat to "world peace" as all foreign nations are aware of our sincere attitude of non-aggressiveness and would not consider it as a threat to their safety. Town Girls Formal Saturday The Town Girls will hold their annual formal at the Alonzo Ward ballroom Saturday evening, November 12. Red Hamilton and his orchestra have been engaged to play for this first formal affair of the year. The committee in charge of the formal consists of: Lucille Kirk, chairman, Harriet Beers, Mary Lou Dickinson, Arlene Neill, June Green and Jenny Walker. Mr. and Mrs. Edward Schneider and Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Johnson will chaperone. Over fifty tickets have been sold up to this date, with many more expected to purchase them. Those in charge expect about 130 to attend the dance. Sigma Tau Delta Holds Pledge Meeting Sigma Tau Delta held its pledge service for new members, Monday night, November 7, in the Women's Faculty room. After a short business meeting, a short program was given, with Mae Culp as chairman. Pledges of the society read original contributions, followed by a literary game. A social hour and light refreshments followed the program. Pledges of the society present were GAnne Kverne, Carol Lane, Lucille ross, Gwendolyn Baptist, Marie Rinke, Maguerite. Davis, Max Lein, Virginia Lein, Ellsworth Duffin, Floyd Hutchinson, Doris Danielson, ! Mabel Severson. The next meeting will be an iniation ceremony and dinner, in the Dutch Coffee Shop, December 12.
