WEEK OF CHAUTAUQUA IS FINE ENTERTAINMENT PLAYS ARE ESPECIALLY GOOD Musical Numbers, Lectures, Make-Up Artist, Magician—All Please Large Audiences During the past week the students have been favored with worthwhile musical programs, plays and lectures and other forms of entertainments from the chautauqua entertainers. W. L. Maupin was the director of the musical section. He is one of America's great band leaders. His singing band expresses the "Spirit of America". A brass band, a glee club, a male quartet, jazz orchestra and novelty entertainers were all com-bined in one big organization. It is one of the three leading concert bands in the United States. Sorrentino's Venetian Strollers also rendered fine music. This is a band of musicians direct from a tour of the European concert halls. They presented a program of the world's best music in a manner highly en-joyable and pleasing to every musical taste. Instrumental and vocal num-bers were given both in ensemble and solos. They appeared in colorful costumes amidst special stage set-tings. Jessie Rae Taylor, a make-up artist of the highest type, is one of the most noted on the American stage. She presented a variety of clever en-tertaining costumed sketches and quick change specialities. Lon John-son, famous radio musical star, as-sisted Miss Taylor. The great 1930 feature comedy, "Big Pond" was staged with wonder-ful success. An American girl who knows what she wants and works to get it, falls in love with a young Frenchman. The father in order to prove his contention that she would not care for the foreigner in America, but is only temporarily infatuated, employed him and brought him to work in his rubber factory in Ohio. How the young man succeeded in win-ning fame and fortune in American business, but almost lost the girl, was told in this hilarious _comedy. The greatest drama of the age, "The Fool", a play for the people and by the people, is indeed a real contri-bution to the American stage. It is the story of capital and labor, of love and romance, pride and humbleness. It was written for those who think, for those who wish entertainment and for those who are interested in big questions of the present day. Governor Nellie Tayloe Ross, the first woman governor in the United States discussed national affairs and "Women in Politics". Mrs. Ross has proven herself a home-maker as well as a capable executive. The noted orator and world traveler "Sam Grathwell", brought an inter-esting and informative talk on the Japanese situation. He has spent several months in the Orient obtain-ing information regarding conditions and people. One of the most popular convention speakers in the United States, New-ton W. Gaines, agriculturist, delivered his great inspirational address, "Old Wine in New Bottles". Lastly is George Staples, the mag-ician. He is a clever character and keeps his audience in laughter with his comedy stunts. His program con-sisted of feats of magic, cartooning, ventriloquism and other amusing fea-tures. The entire week was wonderfully worthwhile. MORE TEACHERS ARE PLACED Every day students at Northern are being placed in good positions by the Teacher Placement Bureau.

Book Store Plans Changed Marie Madsen Will Become Assistant Manager to Miss Burnham A slight change in the management of the College Book Store was an-nounced this week by Miss Etha Burn-ham, who took charge of the store at the beginning of the last fiscal year, July 1, 1929. In the past it has been the custom to employ several student assistants for part-time help. Under the new management a new system is to be tried out next year and Miss Marie Madsen is to be assistant man-ager of the college Book Store. Miss Madsen's home is in Wilmot. She graduated from the two-year cur-riculum at Northern in 1924 and for the next five years taught commer-cial subjects at the Eureka Academy, Eureka, South Dakota. While there she entered her students in state com-mercial contests four years and placed three years, winning a third in typing one year, a first in typewriting an-other year, and the last year a first in bookkeeping and a second in typ-ing. Two years her winning students received the honor of a free trip to the national typewriting contest at Chicago. Returning to Northern last fall, Miss Madsen entered the Senior class and graduated this spring with the B. S. degree in education. During the past year she has been vice-presi-dent of the senior class, vice president of Pi Omega Pi, commercial frater-nity; and member Kappa Delta Pi, national education fraternity. She has also been student assistant in the Book Store. Besides being assist-ant manager for the coming year, she will assist in Secretary Oates' office in the capacity of stenographer. BOY SCOUT CAMP HELD AT LAKE ENEMY SWIM H. F. POTE WILL HAVE CHARGE Week's Program Will Include All Details for Community Scout Work July 6, at five o'clock in the after-noon, H. F. Pote, Regional Scout Executive, will open the Che-K-Pa Boy Scout summer camp at Lake Enemy Swim for mature men who are interested in training themselves in the lore of the outdoors as given through regular Boy Scout programs. This short course group will be or-ganized in Boy Scout patrols and will live in tents, boarding at the camp mess hall. One week will be given over to training in woodcraft, camp craft, scout troop management, patrol operation and methods, advancement, organization. Opportunity will be given to put the knowledge gained into actual practice. Application for admission should be made to Registrar Leroy Crawford, at Northern State Teachers College, Aberdeen, by June 5. All men are requested to bring their own cot and bedding. Assisting Mr. Pote in the work will be N. G. Bent; Regional Field Ex-ecutive; and L. D. Cornell, Regional Field Executive, of the Scouts organ-ization; also Norvum Ovrom, Scout Executive and Special Examiner for Life Saving in the American Red Cross, from Aberdeen. To those en-rolled N. 'S. T. C. will grant one hour of college credit. Details will be worked out for methods to keep boys in large and small communities in-terested in manly work and play. WELCOMING BYRD The following is an excerpt from a letter from Gideon Seymour, son of Dr. and Mrs. A. H. Seymour, and a former student of N. S. T. C. Gid-eon is now in charge of all A. P. News Service for New York. This excerpt gives an inside view of pro-blems confronting those who are re-sponsible for what the world reads day to day. "A hectic day is over—Byrd • is home, has been welcomed, and is by now about ready . to start for Wash-. ington, and the biggest task thus far in my .career as a city editor is safely weathered. Although it may not appear so from what appears in the columns in the "Aberdeen Daily Nooze", it's a monumental task for the AP to handle a story like a hero's welcome which begins half a dozen miles down the bay and continues in a running stream up Broadway, past the city hall, and all around town from dawn to midnight. Not one reporter or two or . three can keep abreast of things, much less do all the special things individual papers or vicinities want done, like telling Virginia all about Virginia's part in the welcome, and getting to Boston all the details theyfre inter-ested in about Byrd as one of the home town boys, and giving Erie, Pa., 600 special words about the Boy Scout from Erie who came home with the expeditions, and writing lead after lead so that the big papers will have fresh news to write streamers on in every new edition, and so that the middle west will have a good new story when it's press time in the middle west, and the Pacific Coast will have the story it wants when it's shortly after noon there and dinner-time here. "Lots of planning and rapid-fire writing is necessary, and not the least of the task is arriving, before-hand, at a decision as to what "angle" we shall take on the story: whether we shall regard Byrd as a man fam-ous primarily for his fortitude and heroism in lonely places, as Peary was, and as Byrd wasn't at all, in the sense that he had more to work with and much closer contact with civil-ization than any other explorer ever had; whether the news of his home-coming should tell of his arrival and the cheering, or of what he found in Antarctica, or of his adventures and hardships . . . and so on. "Stories written without such a preconceived plan are likely to be hodge-podges trying to tell every-thing and actually telling nothing. One has to attack such an occasion with a preconceived notion of what is the best angle to build on. "Well, it's over, and it went well enough or better than that. We managed at least to keep a smooth, sequential running story going all day, and to weave accounts of the celebration coming to us from a dozen reporters and reportorial sources into a well-knit, unified story. It had me pretty worried for the last ten days and I was glad we got away with it as well as we did, even if we didn't write any epics which will live in literature. "It was a tumultuous welcome—the greatest New York hats seen since Lindbergh, and in some respects greater, for in addition to spontaneity it had better organization. I was frankly surprised at the outpouring of people-;-two previous Byrd home-comings have been disappointments to him and to the city's welcoming crews because the public seemed to care so little for Byrd and his ex-ploits; but they turned out today!" - — The Kindergarten-Primary super-vision class under the instruction of Miss Lida Williams visited in the campus school one day last week. Hear Chinquilla July 8 Baillie Makes School Seals These May Be Used for Many Pur-poses for Artistic Decora-tion "Unique", and "how appropriate" are very naturally the first exclama-tions of students when they see the beautiful seals which have been de-signed by Prof. E. Kenneth Baillie, head of the art department. Mr. Baillie's first aim was to produce an emblem to be sold at Christmas time by the Beaux Arts Club, of which he is faculty sponsor. Annually this club sells Christmas cards or novel-ties to raise money for a scholarship awarded each quarter to the most progressive art student. As the result of a campaign for something different, Professor Baillie presented the club with two very appropriate designs. The seals were ordered through a local firm and are now awaiting the opening of school when they will be placed on sale. Both seals are on maroon paper with the art work and a dainty border in gold ink. The smaller of the two bears the head of a wolf with fangs bared and ears laid back in a vicious pose. The second, the larger of the two seals, carries the initials, N. S. T. C., in a circle just inside the border and the center space is decorated with a conventionalized pasque flower, re-presentative of the college year-book, "The Pasque". Though the first intentions were that the seals were to be used for Christmas or other gift packages, the finished project is so charmingly dainty and colorful that they are just the thing for sealing envelopes, to place on plain white stationery for a letterhead and many other uses where an artistic touch is needed. Summer students interested in the seals should see Mr. Baillie. Former Student Speaks Here Miss Graeber Tells of Work in Massa-chusetts State Hospital To make their patients feel perfect-ly at home until a cure is effected, when possible, and to keep them from being a burden to the community are some of the aims of the work carried on at the Worchester, Mass., State Hospital where Miss Paula Graeber is employed in the Social Service De-partment. Miss Graeber is a former student at Northern where she major-ed in sociology and economics. She stressed the training offered to the patients in her address before the as-sembly last Tuesday. The hospital's plant includes nearly all the facilities a modern community would have, and this gives the inmates opportunities to become refitted for life when they are released. Y. W. SENDS DELEGATES From June 23 to June 30 the north central regional meeting of college Y. W. C. A. is in session at take Geneva, Wisconsin. For many years the Northern State Teachers College has been sending delegates. This year the represent-atives from the local college are Miss Belle Wallen of Volga, who is presi-dent of College Y. W. C. A. for next year, and Miss Lila VandenBerg of Volga, the secretary for next year. Besides the profit received and in-spiration obtained from addresses by outstanding religious and college peo-ple, the delegates greatly enjoy the friendships made with college stu-dents from many campuses and the beauty and recreation that Lake Ge-neva affords. Before returning to their homes the delegates expect to visit in Chicago and near-by points of interest. LIBRARY NOTES According to library reports, the present summer school students are very studious. The book circulation for five clays was about 1500. This refers to the books taken out of the library. It would be difficult to estimate the number of books used in the various rooms. Many students are availing them-selves of the opportunity to see and read the new books now being re-ceived at the library. They show an interest in non-fiction books as well as fiction. The library has recently hung, in the main reading room, three por-traits of former presidents of N. S. T. C.: Charles K. Koehler, first pres-ident of the school, George W. Nash, and Willis E. Johnson. These por-traits were formerly in the President's office. Mrs. Goodsell and her two young daughters have gone to Enemy Swim for a month's outing. During each week-end Mr. Goodsell will be with his family. The Exponent Northern State Teachers College VOL.

Universally admired by press and public for her great personal charm, for her brilliant ability as a public speaker, and for her great gift as an actress, and loved from coast to coast by the many scattered tribes of her own people to whom she early dedi-cated her life, Chinquilla is every-where regarded as the outstanding American Indian of today. Popularly known as Princess Chin-quilla she was born and brought up in a tepee. on the western plains, a pure blooded American Indian. As the daughter of the Head Chief of the Southern Cheyenne nation, she en-joyed advantages over other Indian maidens. In her early 'teens she left the roving, prairie life, and under the care of the U. S. government she came for the first time into contact with civilization. Subsequently she graduated from the famous Carlisle Indian School. Tier early associations and studies showed her the vast abyss of ignor-ance that has always stood between civilization and her own race. Alien-ated from her own people by her schooling, and yet unable to accept the culture of our civilization, she eventually dedicated her life to bring-ing about a better understanding of the American Indian by the conquer-ors of the continent. Early success in recitals of Indian songs and dances brought Chinquilla into prominence as an amateur enter-tainer. She was soon compelled to take up the work professionally. Her extra-ordinary and continued success soon made it possible for her to re-tire from the theater and concert stage and to devote her life to lectur-ing and interpreting the spirit of her fast-vanishing race to modern Amer- In her art Chinquilla depends upon no single medium of interpretation. Her dramatic recitation is powerful and effective. Her songs are true ex-positions of her native tribal music. Her dances show a rare gift for mim-icry and an unusual sense of humor. The appeal of her program is art-istic and entertaining. Both adults and children will learn for the first time the true nature and character of the American Indian. She has a striking and lovely ap-pearance, especially when dressed in her tribal regalia, coupled with a great personal magnetism and charm. Her voice has been trained not only to project a message, but to sound the inner-most emotional depths of her audiences. The comments that come as a re-sult of her performances are most interesting. One from S. 0. Lands of the State Teachers College, Minot, N. D., states, "When Chinquilla talk-ed here, she held her audience from her opening prayer, until—well, until I had to send them home." In fact she is the only speaker, outside of Will Rogers, that had to tell the aud-ience she was through speaking, and even then they crowded the platform to meet her, personally. The New York Herald says, "Cul-ture and musical talent are qualities foreign to the old conception of the Indian, but Chinquilla possesses both". "Chinquilla gave a very interesting revelation of the soul of the Indian. Personally, I was deeply impressed with the great reverence she showed in her prayer to the Great Spirit, which was no perfunctory part of a lecture, but was from the depths of her soul reaching out of the Great Spirit", is the opinion of Miss C. E. Mason of Tarrytown—on Hudson, New York. LAKE ENEMY SWIM Instructor Going Abroad Mrs. Garvin and Her Sister to Carry Gypsy Day Strip Into Russia Mrs. W. W. Garvin is planning to carry the Gypsy Day strip into Russia this summer. Immediately after the summer term is over Mrs. Garvin and her sister, Mrs. Nella T. Westrater, secretary of the local Y. W. C. A., will leave for an extended tour through various places of interest in European countries. On July 30, they plan to see the Passion Play. After going to Vienna for a short stay they will start for Russia, going through Czecho Slovakia and Poland to Lem-berg and on to Kiev the literary center of Russia. A very interesting event will be a river trip on the Duipper. This journey will provide excellent oppor-tunity to see the farming methods used in Russia. The travellers will make a short visit at Kharkow and then go on to Moscow, where they will stay one week. While at Moscow they will make short tours to places of interest near this famous city. After this they will go on to Berlin for a week's stay. From Berlin they plan to take an aeroplane trip to Paris, where they will stay for one week. From here they will go to Cherbourg and sail for the United States on the ship Berangaria, arriving home in time for the opening of the fall quarter of school. Prexy's Office Renovated Walls Are Refinished, Floor Carpeted, and New Furniture Is Installed A complete renovation is being made in the President's suite at the college while Dr. David Allen Ander-son is in Des Moines. Old, out-of-date furnishings are all being set aside and new, attractively harmoniz-ing ones put in their places. The walls of the room have been refinish-ed in cream-color with tints of green. The woodwork has been stained in walnut and the floor is being laid with a lovely green-patterned, all-over carpet. The window hangings are of damask carrying out a note of green with contrasting colors. The new furniture will include a large office deslc, swivel chair, arm chair, three side chairs, two book cases and an occasional table and chair—all in walnut of the famous Olson furniture. To acid charm to the room Professor E. Kenneth Baillie of the art depart-ment has, himself, made a beautiful lamp, the shade of which carries out the color scheme of green and cream-color. ALL-SCHOOL PICNIC COMING Elaborate plans are being made for the all-school picnic which will be held July 9, at 3:30 o'clock in Mel-gaard Park. During the afternoon games will be played, one of the big events being a kittenball game be-tween faculty and students. Then will come a satisfying feed consist-ing, of potato salad, baked beans, sand-wiches, cake, fruit, coffee, lemonade, candy and Eskimo pies. After sup-per various athletic contests will be held. Miss Aldrich is in charge of the women's sports and Mr. Camp-bell has charge of the men's. The plans seem to indicate that this picnic is to be a "never to be forgotten event" and none of us can afford to miss it. Remember a splendid pro-gram and good eats! Every student and faculty member is invited, SPEAKS ON BLACK STEM RUST At last Thursday's assembly George Frandsen of State College gave a talk on the control of black stem rust. He said that the rust is caused by the barberry bush which acts as in-termediate host for this rust to com-plete its life cycle. He gave a brief history of the bush, saying that it came originally from Asia, was carried to Europe and brought by early immigrants to this country. On examining the rust one finds it to be a living material—a fungus growth which is very harmful to the grain.

WELCOMING BYRD The following is an excerpt from a letter from Gideon Seymour, son of Dr. and Mrs. A. H. Seymour, and a former student of N. S. T. C. Gid-eon is now in charge of all A. P. News Service for New York. This excerpt gives an inside view of pro-blems confronting those who are re-sponsible for what the world reads day to day. "A hectic day is over—Byrd • is home, has been welcomed, and is by now about ready . to start for Wash-. ington, and the biggest task thus far in my .career as a city editor is safely weathered. Although it may not appear so from what appears in the columns in the "Aberdeen Daily Nooze", it's a monumental task for the AP to handle a story like a hero's welcome which begins half a dozen miles down the bay and continues in a running stream up Broadway, past the city hall, and all around town from dawn to midnight. Not one reporter or two or . three can keep abreast of things, much less do all the special things individual papers or vicinities want done, like telling Virginia all about Virginia's part in the welcome, and getting to Boston all the details theyfre inter-ested in about Byrd as one of the home town boys, and giving Erie, Pa., 600 special words about the Boy Scout from Erie who came home with the expeditions, and writing lead after lead so that the big papers will have fresh news to write streamers on in every new edition, and so that the middle west will have a good new story when it's press time in the middle west, and the Pacific Coast will have the story it wants when it's shortly after noon there and dinner-time here. "Lots of planning and rapid-fire writing is necessary, and not the least of the task is arriving, before-hand, at a decision as to what "angle" we shall take on the story: whether we shall regard Byrd as a man fam-ous primarily for his fortitude and heroism in lonely places, as Peary was, and as Byrd wasn't at all, in the sense that he had more to work with and much closer contact with civil-ization than any other explorer ever had; whether the news of his home-coming should tell of his arrival and the cheering, or of what he found in Antarctica, or of his adventures and hardships . . . and so on. "Stories written without such a preconceived plan are likely to be hodge-podges trying to tell every-thing and actually telling nothing. One has to attack such an occasion with a preconceived notion of what is the best angle to build on. "Well, it's over, and it went well enough or better than that. We managed at least to keep a smooth, sequential running story going all day, and to weave accounts of the celebration coming to us from a dozen reporters and reportorial sources into a well-knit, unified story. It had me pretty worried for the last ten days and I was glad we got away with it as well as we did, even if we didn't write any epics which will live in literature. "It was a tumultuous welcome—the greatest New York hats seen since Lindbergh, and in some respects greater, for in addition to spontaneity it had better organization. I was frankly surprised at the outpouring of people-;-two previous Byrd home-comings have been disappointments to him and to the city's welcoming crews because the public seemed to care so little for Byrd and his ex-ploits; but they turned out today!" - — The Kindergarten-Primary super-vision class under the instruction of Miss Lida Williams visited in the campus school one day last week. Hear Chinquilla July 8 Baillie Makes School Seals These May Be Used for Many Pur-poses for Artistic Decora-tion "Unique", and "how appropriate" are very naturally the first exclama-tions of students when they see the beautiful seals which have been de-signed by Prof. E. Kenneth Baillie, head of the art department. Mr. Baillie's first aim was to produce an emblem to be sold at Christmas time by the Beaux Arts Club, of which he is faculty sponsor. Annually this club sells Christmas cards or novel-ties to raise money for a scholarship awarded each quarter to the most progressive art student. As the result of a campaign for something different, Professor Baillie presented the club with two very appropriate designs. The seals were ordered through a local firm and are now awaiting the opening of school when they will be placed on sale. Both seals are on maroon paper with the art work and a dainty border in gold ink. The smaller of the two bears the head of a wolf with fangs bared and ears laid back in a vicious pose. The second, the larger of the two seals, carries the initials, N. S. T. C., in a circle just inside the border and the center space is decorated with a conventionalized pasque flower, re-presentative of the college year-book, "The Pasque". Though the first intentions were that the seals were to be used for Christmas or other gift packages, the finished project is so charmingly dainty and colorful that they are just the thing for sealing envelopes, to place on plain white stationery for a letterhead and many other uses where an artistic touch is needed. Summer students interested in the seals should see Mr. Baillie. Former Student Speaks Here Miss Graeber Tells of Work in Massa-chusetts State Hospital To make their patients feel perfect-ly at home until a cure is effected, when possible, and to keep them from being a burden to the community are some of the aims of the work carried on at the Worchester, Mass., State Hospital where Miss Paula Graeber is employed in the Social Service De-partment. Miss Graeber is a former student at Northern where she major-ed in sociology and economics. She stressed the training offered to the patients in her address before the as-sembly last Tuesday. The hospital's plant includes nearly all the facilities a modern community would have, and this gives the inmates opportunities to become refitted for life when they are released. Y. W. SENDS DELEGATES From June 23 to June 30 the north central regional meeting of college Y. W. C. A. is in session at take Geneva, Wisconsin. For many years the Northern State Teachers College has been sending delegates. This year the represent-atives from the local college are Miss Belle Wallen of Volga, who is presi-dent of College Y. W. C. A. for next year, and Miss Lila VandenBerg of Volga, the secretary for next year. Besides the profit received and in-spiration obtained from addresses by outstanding religious and college peo-ple, the delegates greatly enjoy the friendships made with college stu-dents from many campuses and the beauty and recreation that Lake Ge-neva affords. Before returning to their homes the delegates expect to visit in Chicago and near-by points of interest. LIBRARY NOTES According to library reports, the present summer school students are very studious. The book circulation for five clays was about 1500. This refers to the books taken out of the library. It would be difficult to estimate the number of books used in the various rooms. Many students are availing them-selves of the opportunity to see and read the new books now being re-ceived at the library. They show an interest in non-fiction books as well as fiction. The library has recently hung, in the main reading room, three por-traits of former presidents of N. S. T. C.: Charles K. Koehler, first pres-ident of the school, George W. Nash, and Willis E. Johnson. These por-traits were formerly in the President's office. Mrs. Goodsell and her two young daughters have gone to Enemy Swim for a month's outing. During each week-end Mr. Goodsell will be with his family. The Exponent Northern State Teachers College VOL.

Universally admired by press and public for her great personal charm, for her brilliant ability as a public speaker, and for her great gift as an actress, and loved from coast to coast by the many scattered tribes of her own people to whom she early dedi-cated her life, Chinquilla is every-where regarded as the outstanding American Indian of today. Popularly known as Princess Chin-quilla she was born and brought up in a tepee. on the western plains, a pure blooded American Indian. As the daughter of the Head Chief of the Southern Cheyenne nation, she en-joyed advantages over other Indian maidens. In her early 'teens she left the roving, prairie life, and under the care of the U. S. government she came for the first time into contact with civilization. Subsequently she graduated from the famous Carlisle Indian School. Tier early associations and studies showed her the vast abyss of ignor-ance that has always stood between civilization and her own race. Alien-ated from her own people by her schooling, and yet unable to accept the culture of our civilization, she eventually dedicated her life to bring-ing about a better understanding of the American Indian by the conquer-ors of the continent. Early success in recitals of Indian songs and dances brought Chinquilla into prominence as an amateur enter-tainer. She was soon compelled to take up the work professionally. Her extra-ordinary and continued success soon made it possible for her to re-tire from the theater and concert stage and to devote her life to lectur-ing and interpreting the spirit of her fast-vanishing race to modern Amer- In her art Chinquilla depends upon no single medium of interpretation. Her dramatic recitation is powerful and effective. Her songs are true ex-positions of her native tribal music. Her dances show a rare gift for mim-icry and an unusual sense of humor. The appeal of her program is art-istic and entertaining. Both adults and children will learn for the first time the true nature and character of the American Indian. She has a striking and lovely ap-pearance, especially when dressed in her tribal regalia, coupled with a great personal magnetism and charm. Her voice has been trained not only to project a message, but to sound the inner-most emotional depths of her audiences. The comments that come as a re-sult of her performances are most interesting. One from S. 0. Lands of the State Teachers College, Minot, N. D., states, "When Chinquilla talk-ed here, she held her audience from her opening prayer, until—well, until I had to send them home." In fact she is the only speaker, outside of Will Rogers, that had to tell the aud-ience she was through speaking, and even then they crowded the platform to meet her, personally. The New York Herald says, "Cul-ture and musical talent are qualities foreign to the old conception of the Indian, but Chinquilla possesses both". "Chinquilla gave a very interesting revelation of the soul of the Indian. Personally, I was deeply impressed with the great reverence she showed in her prayer to the Great Spirit, which was no perfunctory part of a lecture, but was from the depths of her soul reaching out of the Great Spirit", is the opinion of Miss C. E. Mason of Tarrytown—on Hudson, New York. LAKE ENEMY SWIM Instructor Going Abroad Mrs. Garvin and Her Sister to Carry Gypsy Day Strip Into Russia Mrs. W. W. Garvin is planning to carry the Gypsy Day strip into Russia this summer. Immediately after the summer term is over Mrs. Garvin and her sister, Mrs. Nella T. Westrater, secretary of the local Y. W. C. A., will leave for an extended tour through various places of interest in European countries. On July 30, they plan to see the Passion Play. After going to Vienna for a short stay they will start for Russia, going through Czecho Slovakia and Poland to Lem-berg and on to Kiev the literary center of Russia. A very interesting event will be a river trip on the Duipper. This journey will provide excellent oppor-tunity to see the farming methods used in Russia. The travellers will make a short visit at Kharkow and then go on to Moscow, where they will stay one week. While at Moscow they will make short tours to places of interest near this famous city. After this they will go on to Berlin for a week's stay. From Berlin they plan to take an aeroplane trip to Paris, where they will stay for one week. From here they will go to Cherbourg and sail for the United States on the ship Berangaria, arriving home in time for the opening of the fall quarter of school. Prexy's Office Renovated Walls Are Refinished, Floor Carpeted, and New Furniture Is Installed A complete renovation is being made in the President's suite at the college while Dr. David Allen Ander-son is in Des Moines. Old, out-of-date furnishings are all being set aside and new, attractively harmoniz-ing ones put in their places. The walls of the room have been refinish-ed in cream-color with tints of green. The woodwork has been stained in walnut and the floor is being laid with a lovely green-patterned, all-over carpet. The window hangings are of damask carrying out a note of green with contrasting colors. The new furniture will include a large office deslc, swivel chair, arm chair, three side chairs, two book cases and an occasional table and chair—all in walnut of the famous Olson furniture. To acid charm to the room Professor E. Kenneth Baillie of the art depart-ment has, himself, made a beautiful lamp, the shade of which carries out the color scheme of green and cream-color. ALL-SCHOOL PICNIC COMING Elaborate plans are being made for the all-school picnic which will be held July 9, at 3:30 o'clock in Mel-gaard Park. During the afternoon games will be played, one of the big events being a kittenball game be-tween faculty and students. Then will come a satisfying feed consist-ing, of potato salad, baked beans, sand-wiches, cake, fruit, coffee, lemonade, candy and Eskimo pies. After sup-per various athletic contests will be held. Miss Aldrich is in charge of the women's sports and Mr. Camp-bell has charge of the men's. The plans seem to indicate that this picnic is to be a "never to be forgotten event" and none of us can afford to miss it. Remember a splendid pro-gram and good eats! Every student and faculty member is invited, SPEAKS ON BLACK STEM RUST At last Thursday's assembly George Frandsen of State College gave a talk on the control of black stem rust. He said that the rust is caused by the barberry bush which acts as in-termediate host for this rust to com-plete its life cycle. He gave a brief history of the bush, saying that it came originally from Asia, was carried to Europe and brought by early immigrants to this country. On examining the rust one finds it to be a living material—a fungus growth which is very harmful to the grain.
