Competition for this prize was keen, since many of the young women had chosen to dress as did Martha Washington, in beautiful and appropriate costumes. Louise Milligan was awarded the prize for the best hard-time woman's cos-tume, while Earl Hallock romped off with a similar men's prize. The judges were members of the Beaux Arts Club of which Mr. E.

TROJANS DEFEAT WOLVES The Trojans of Eastern Normal secured ample revenge for the drub-bing the Wolves gave them earlier in the season. The Wolves lost 25 to 40, largely due to the fact that the Trojans displayed one of the best passing and shooting attacks that has been exhibited in the conference this year.

For the Trojans there were no outstanding stars, as every man proved instrumental to bring about the downfall of the Wolves, while the scoring was equally directed among the players. MADISON FG. FT.

Mr. Dalthorp, in a most interesting manner, told the students of the importance of having a defi-nite purpose in view and of obtaining one's education for the realization of that purpose. The speaker cited sev-eral cases with which he was ac-quainted, which illustrated disastrous results, due greatly to the fact that the individual attended college with no particular aim toward which they strove. He also stressed the import-ance of choosing the right profession stating that in order to be a success the individual must be suited to his work.

The Scalpers who were favorites to win, due to the fact that they had defeated the Wolves earlier in the season, encountered a different ball club, whose passing, dribbling and shooting showed the re-sults of intensive practice. They clearly outplayed their rivals during the final period of the game. The Wolves, led by Black, who sank seven field goals for high point man of the contest, were trailing through-out the first half, the score being 18 to 16 at the end of that period in favor of the Huronites. The second half found the Wolves displaying an offense that was unbeatable, and they cut the lead of the Scalpers to even terms when Black went on a scoring spree to sink three field goals to give the Wolves a commanding lead, giv-ing his team a 32 to 25 advantage. Campbell, Huron center, scored two field goals to make the count 32 to 29 when the gun ended the fray. Black proved to be the outstanding player on the floor, his basket-shoot-ing being a revelation to the fans who were fortunate to be present. Mar-quis and Washabaugh, returning to their home town, played great games, and no doubt many of the Huronites were wishing that they were playing with the Scalpers. For Huron, Camp-bell gave a fine exhibition of basket-ball, scoring thirteen points and play-ing a fine floor game. Bp Walther Pfitzner The Y. W. Vodvil presented tomor-row night in the auditorium at 8:00 promises to surpass all other similar performances ever presented. Seven-teen clubs have submitted acts which will be presented to form an evening's entertainment for everyone. Those organizations which will participate are French Club, Rhenania, Pi Omega Pi, W. S. G. A., Freshman Class, Sophomore Class, W. A.

Prizes of $10.00 and $3.00 in each of the classifications of clever, appropri-ate, and artistic, will be presented to the best acts in each group. Those who are in charge of the project are the Vodvil Committee—Miss Kroeger, Helen Twitero, Irma Wilkinson; stage committee—Mr. Harkness and stage-craft classes; music—Mr. Goodsell and his orchestra; posters—Mr. Baillie, assisted by Thalice Plate; tickets and programs—Edith Keck. A group of Aberdeen people will award the prizes for the evening. Tickets are on sale at the secretary's office at the price of 25c, with an additional charge of 10c for reserved seats. 000000000000 The coming of the String Quartet from the State University of South Dakota at Vermillion under the leader-ship of Prof. W. Colton, Primarius of the quartet, was a most welcome and refreshing musical experience for Aberdeen's music lovers last night. A number of the college music stu-dents, banded together in the Public School Music Supervisor's Club, to-gether with Miss Grace McArthur, faculty adviser, sponsored this con-cert, and have to be credited with the successful management of the event. It was an atmosphere warm with good will, into which the University players stepped when they addressed themselves to Beethoven's G Major String Quartet, the second of the ever youthful six of Opus eighteen. The performance of this quartet and the following groups, including the Dvorak "American" quartet, deserves warmest praise. Here were all the grace and charm of Beethoven's early quartet style, the wealth of nuance, the faultless dexterity of pre-sentation which the master's music exacts. There is, perhaps, not any large RAMTHUN AND MILNOR WIN DECISION DEBATE amount of genius enshrined in the Dvorak quartet, but it palpitates with joyous life, and the Vermillion quartet read it with remarkable brilliancy and skill. Splendid rhythm, tone quality, unity of design and balance of all four string instruments were effectively displayed in the middle group—lighter music by Borodine, Raff and Kaess-mayer— compositions which gave the audience great pleasure. Wholly admirable was the spirit of unity under Mr. Colton's inspiring leader-ship, four excellent artists singularly devoted to the supreme purpose ef translating the ideas of the composer into the realm of beauty. The State University and the City of Vermillion are to be congratulated upon having such an ideal string ensemble of high ability among them, and our Aberdeen audience certainly is thankful for the rare opportunity of hearing such exquisite chamber music. The quartet is made up of Winfred Colton, first violin, Betty Frary, second violin, Neil Boardman, viola; and Ella Colton, cello.

J. Harkness. Leaving Aberdeen, Wednesday, February 4, a women's squad, composed of Rose Ramthun and Thelma Milnor, both of Aberdeen, journeyed to Moorhead, Minnesota, where they debated two colleges. Concordia College repre-sentatives spoke against Miss Ram-thun and Miss Milnor in a non-deci-sion contest on Thursday evening. Friday afternoon the N. S. T. C. speakers won a decision contest from the Moorhead State Teachers College. Following the debate in Moorhead, Friday afternoon, Prof. Harkness journeyed to Grand Forks, North Da-kota, and coached the men's squad, Louis Anderson, Lowry, and Clarence Dunker, Aberdeen, against the Uni-versity of North Dakota. At home Arthur Birkeland, Pier-pont and Gale Finley, Chelsea, debated a team from the North Dakota Uni-versity. Both of these contests were non-decision. Home Debate Debating the question: "Resolved that the nations should adopt a plan of complete disarmament, except for such forces as are necessary for police protection", two representatives from the University of North Dakota, located at Grand Forks, met the local affirmative team in the college aud-itorium here, Thursday evening. Arthur Birkeland and Gale Finley upheld the affirmative side of the question, while the negative team was supported by Patrick Milloy and Car-rol Day. A large audience of stu-dents and faculty members were present. Glenn M. Jordan, of the economics department, was chairman of the debate. To Miss Alma Lange of Java goes the honor of winning the fourth an-nual "Most Representative Woman Contest" at Northern, and the twenty-five dollars in gold awarded by Jean Speirs-Helgeson of Minneapolis. This annual award was started three years ago by Mrs. Helgeson in the hopes of setting a high standard of woman-hood for the girls attending Northern. Previous winners are as follows: Miss Myrtle Orton of Ortley, Miss Harriet Seymour of Aberdeen and Miss Lola Lund of McLaughlin. Miss Lange is a member of the senior class and is engaged in very many activities, among them the fol-lowing: member of the Pasque Board for two consecutive years, member of Beaux Arts Club, assistant librarian, and assistant in the department of biology, member of Kappa Delta Pi, member Masquers Club and social committee. At the special request of Mrs. Helgeson, Mr. Lindberg had charge of the contest this year as in former years. First of all a committee of five faculty members was chOsen to nominate a group as representative candidates. This faculty committee composed of Dean Moulton, chair-man; Dean Wray, Vice-President Sey-mour, Miss Lighthall and Mrs. Bar-nes, chose the following group of six-teen girls: Viola Boekelheide, Lois Blethen, Erma Demerrseman, Hazel Duncan, Marjorie Daly, Carolyne Hill, Elvera Kundert, Alma Lange, Marie Leighty, Mildred Anderson, Neva Searle, Helen Malloy, Thelma Milnor, Enid Taylor, Irma Maschke, and Rose Ramthun. From this list the faculty chose five—Misses Bock-elheide, Duncan, Lange, Maschke, Taylor—who were submitted to the student body in a general vote. The students' choice were Miss Lange, first and Miss Maschke, second. The Hel-geson award will be presented to Miss Lange at some future date during as-sembly.

During the winter and spring quar-ters, Prof. J. M. McCallister is con-ducting an extension class in Seminar in Education. At present there are several students enrolled and include' mostly the teachers in the demonstra-tion school area surrounding Aber-deen. One group of extension students in Meadow, completed a course at the end of the fall quarter, and since that time has taken up a •ive-hour course in English Bible.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, test-ing whether that nation, or any nation so con-ceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. • Discusses Two Educational Move- • SUPT. DALTHORP SPEAKS ments in America • • 5 ► ► 5 • • • • Dr. Anderson was guest speaker at the general meeting of the local branch of the American Association of University Women, held Tuesday evening, January 4. Two new move-ments in education in America were discussed; the development of the Junior High School and the Junior College. These have certain inter-esting similarities. The chief paral-lel, however, is the methcd of study best suited to each, the exploratory courses, in charge of master teachers, which help the students develop by giving them a 'broad general back-ground needed for life and for the more intensive study of senior high school or senior college and graduate work. President Anderson outlined three types of junior colleges. First, the private colleges; second, the puhlic junior colleges; third, the junior col-leges in the higher institutions of learning. The aims of the junior colleges were discussed with special emphasis on the completion of the general education begun in high school. It gives the student a broader view of all that human civilization has accomplished. A second point of the organization is that it prolongs home influences and keeps young people of immature age in the home environment which they need in those early years. An-other point emphasized was that the junior college promotes and popular-izes education. Doctor Anderson closed his address with a final prophecy as to the future of American schools, and a special word of commendation for the splendid progress American schools are mak-ing from pre-school to junior college. The junior college idea of broad gen-eral training as a background for later specialization will be a chief agency in bringing to a successful culmination the great American ex- • • But in a large sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow, this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us, the living, rather, to he dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remain-ing before us—that from these honored dead' we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion; that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people. for the people, shall not perish from the earth. —Abraham Lincoln. • • • IrldiTialliV1W167■ 141gilireofl MORRIS GOES TO MINNEAPOLIS ORCHESTRA ON TRIP Supt.

This number will include all soloists and players. The group will play at Timber Lake, McLaughlin, McIntosh, Glenham, and at Hettinger, North Dakota.

The Wolves, led by Black, who sank seven field goals for high point man of the contest, were trailing through-out the first half, the score being 18 to 16 at the end of that period in favor of the Huronites. The second half found the Wolves displaying an offense that was unbeatable, and they cut the lead of the Scalpers to even terms when Black went on a scoring spree to sink three field goals to give the Wolves a commanding lead, giv-ing his team a 32 to 25 advantage. Campbell, Huron center, scored two field goals to make the count 32 to 29 when the gun ended the fray. Black proved to be the outstanding player on the floor, his basket-shoot-ing being a revelation to the fans who were fortunate to be present. Mar-quis and Washabaugh, returning to their home town, played great games, and no doubt many of the Huronites were wishing that they were playing with the Scalpers. For Huron, Camp-bell gave a fine exhibition of basket-ball, scoring thirteen points and play-ing a fine floor game. Bp Walther Pfitzner The Y. W.

Colton, Primarius of the quartet, was a most welcome and refreshing musical experience for Aberdeen's music lovers last night. A number of the college music stu-dents, banded together in the Public School Music Supervisor's Club, to-gether with Miss Grace McArthur, faculty adviser, sponsored this con-cert, and have to be credited with the successful management of the event. It was an atmosphere warm with good will, into which the University players stepped when they addressed themselves to Beethoven's G Major String Quartet, the second of the ever youthful six of Opus eighteen. The performance of this quartet and the following groups, including the Dvorak "American" quartet, deserves warmest praise. Here were all the grace and charm of Beethoven's early quartet style, the wealth of nuance, the faultless dexterity of pre-sentation which the master's music exacts. There is, perhaps, not any large RAMTHUN AND MILNOR WIN DECISION DEBATE amount of genius enshrined in the Dvorak quartet, but it palpitates with joyous life, and the Vermillion quartet read it with remarkable brilliancy and skill. Splendid rhythm, tone quality, unity of design and balance of all four string instruments were effectively displayed in the middle group—lighter music by Borodine, Raff and Kaess-mayer— compositions which gave the audience great pleasure. Wholly admirable was the spirit of unity under Mr. Colton's inspiring leader-ship, four excellent artists singularly devoted to the supreme purpose ef translating the ideas of the composer into the realm of beauty. The State University and the City of Vermillion are to be congratulated upon having such an ideal string ensemble of high ability among them, and our Aberdeen audience certainly is thankful for the rare opportunity of hearing such exquisite chamber music. The quartet is made up of Winfred Colton, first violin, Betty Frary, second violin, Neil Boardman, viola; and Ella Colton, cello. DEFEAT MOORHEAD COLLEGE ALMA LANGE IS CHOSEN REPRESENTATIVE WOMAN IRMA M ASCHKE IS SECOND Men's Teams Meet Representatives From North Dakota U. in Non- Decision Contests Twenty-five Dollar Award Is sen'ted by Jean Speirs- Helgeson An intensive week end of debating, Pre-both in Aberdeen and at other schools, was carried on the past week by the local debate teams under the direction of Prof. P. J. Harkness. Leaving Aberdeen, Wednesday, February 4, a women's squad, composed of Rose Ramthun and Thelma Milnor, both of Aberdeen, journeyed to Moorhead, Minnesota, where they debated two colleges. Concordia College repre-sentatives spoke against Miss Ram-thun and Miss Milnor in a non-deci-sion contest on Thursday evening. Friday afternoon the N. S. T. C. speakers won a decision contest from the Moorhead State Teachers College. Following the debate in Moorhead, Friday afternoon, Prof. Harkness journeyed to Grand Forks, North Da-kota, and coached the men's squad, Louis Anderson, Lowry, and Clarence Dunker, Aberdeen, against the Uni-versity of North Dakota. At home Arthur Birkeland, Pier-pont and Gale Finley, Chelsea, debated a team from the North Dakota Uni-versity. Both of these contests were non-decision. Home Debate Debating the question: "Resolved that the nations should adopt a plan of complete disarmament, except for such forces as are necessary for police protection", two representatives from the University of North Dakota, located at Grand Forks, met the local affirmative team in the college aud-itorium here, Thursday evening. Arthur Birkeland and Gale Finley upheld the affirmative side of the question, while the negative team was supported by Patrick Milloy and Car-rol Day. A large audience of stu-dents and faculty members were present. Glenn M. Jordan, of the economics department, was chairman of the debate. To Miss Alma Lange of Java goes the honor of winning the fourth an-nual "Most Representative Woman Contest" at Northern, and the twenty-five dollars in gold awarded by Jean Speirs-Helgeson of Minneapolis. This annual award was started three years ago by Mrs. Helgeson in the hopes of setting a high standard of woman-hood for the girls attending Northern. Previous winners are as follows: Miss Myrtle Orton of Ortley, Miss Harriet Seymour of Aberdeen and Miss Lola Lund of McLaughlin. Miss Lange is a member of the senior class and is engaged in very many activities, among them the fol-lowing: member of the Pasque Board for two consecutive years, member of Beaux Arts Club, assistant librarian, and assistant in the department of biology, member of Kappa Delta Pi, member Masquers Club and social committee. At the special request of Mrs. Helgeson, Mr. Lindberg had charge of the contest this year as in former years. First of all a committee of five faculty members was chOsen to nominate a group as representative candidates. This faculty committee composed of Dean Moulton, chair-man; Dean Wray, Vice-President Sey-mour, Miss Lighthall and Mrs. Bar-nes, chose the following group of six-teen girls: Viola Boekelheide, Lois Blethen, Erma Demerrseman, Hazel Duncan, Marjorie Daly, Carolyne Hill, Elvera Kundert, Alma Lange, Marie Leighty, Mildred Anderson, Neva Searle, Helen Malloy, Thelma Milnor, Enid Taylor, Irma Maschke, and Rose Ramthun. From this list the faculty chose five—Misses Bock-elheide, Duncan, Lange, Maschke, Taylor—who were submitted to the student body in a general vote. The students' choice were Miss Lange, first and Miss Maschke, second. The Hel-geson award will be presented to Miss Lange at some future date during as-sembly.

FORTY-EIGHT ENROLL New Students in Extension Depart-ment Carry 250 Hours of Credit Work Forty-eight new students have en-rolled in the extension department courses at Northern during the first six weeks of the winter quarter, ac-cording to Dean J. W. Thomas, head of the extension work. These stu-dents are taking over 250 hours of work, the most popular courses being those in American history and educa-tion, both rural and urban. During the winter and spring quar-ters, Prof. J. M. McCallister is con-ducting an extension class in Seminar in Education. At present there are several students enrolled and include' mostly the teachers in the demonstra-tion school area surrounding Aber-deen. One group of extension students in Meadow, completed a course at the end of the fall quarter, and since that time has taken up a •ive-hour course in English Bible. The enthusiasm of this group is typical of all the ex-tension students either in the group or private study. • JRI,11.1N 1I,Itp,V,(11),11,(1I,Mat,t,,Int10111,( JI,W,(10111A)1/411,14,111,1( ,11,11,141),,,(MIKSIII,141,1(,11.11/4TA11,11,41,111,141),,,I,Mill,VAIKS(11,1, • • • • ANDERSON GIVES ADDRESS • Uhe Gettysburg Address FOURSCORE and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, test-ing whether that nation, or any nation so con-ceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. • Discusses Two Educational Move- • SUPT. DALTHORP SPEAKS ments in America • • 5 ► ► 5 • • • • Dr. Anderson was guest speaker at the general meeting of the local branch of the American Association of University Women, held Tuesday evening, January 4. Two new move-ments in education in America were discussed; the development of the Junior High School and the Junior College. These have certain inter-esting similarities. The chief paral-lel, however, is the methcd of study best suited to each, the exploratory courses, in charge of master teachers, which help the students develop by giving them a 'broad general back-ground needed for life and for the more intensive study of senior high school or senior college and graduate work. President Anderson outlined three types of junior colleges. First, the private colleges; second, the puhlic junior colleges; third, the junior col-leges in the higher institutions of learning. The aims of the junior colleges were discussed with special emphasis on the completion of the general education begun in high school. It gives the student a broader view of all that human civilization has accomplished. A second point of the organization is that it prolongs home influences and keeps young people of immature age in the home environment which they need in those early years. An-other point emphasized was that the junior college promotes and popular-izes education. Doctor Anderson closed his address with a final prophecy as to the future of American schools, and a special word of commendation for the splendid progress American schools are mak-ing from pre-school to junior college. The junior college idea of broad gen-eral training as a background for later specialization will be a chief agency in bringing to a successful culmination the great American ex- • • But in a large sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow, this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us, the living, rather, to he dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remain-ing before us—that from these honored dead' we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion; that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people. for the people, shall not perish from the earth. —Abraham Lincoln. • • • IrldiTialliV1W167■ 141gilireofl MORRIS GOES TO MINNEAPOLIS ORCHESTRA ON TRIP Supt.

The musicians will leave Aberdeen by bus and tour the western part of the state. Prof. H. E. Goodsell, director of the orchestra, accompanied by Mr. Ross, will take 25 students on the trip. This number will include all soloists and players. The group will play at Timber Lake, McLaughlin, McIntosh, Glenham, and at Hettinger, North Dakota. Except for Timber Lake and Glenham, all of these towns have been visited before and have en-thusiastically sponsored the orchestra. The trip west has come to be an an-nual affair with the college orchestra. In most cases their programs are un-der the auspices of the schools although churches and community clubs are often responsible for the concerts.
