In the preliminary contest held Thursday the Pi Omega Pi won first; English Club, second; and the Leadership Club third. Those taking part in the plays were: English Club, "All On a -Summer Day,"—Helen Kelly, Rowena Shifflet, Helen Burton and Mercedes Ahern; director, Miss Vera Lighthall. Pi Omega Pi: "The Mayor and the Manicure,"—Alfred Bieber, Marjorie Christensen, Beryle Streeter, Carl Hansen; director, Marie Madsen. Leadership Club: "Suppressed De-sires,"— Margaret Burrel, Hazel Dun-can, Wesley Grapes, director, Laura Cooper. The contest was sponsored by the Masquers Club. The judge for the preliminaries, in which seven groups were entered, was Professor El-wood Ramay. The judges for the finals were Sadie Neville-Berg, Miss Beryl DeHaven and John Linn. Other groups which entered the preliminaries were the Secondary Edu-cation Club, Newman Club, French- Spanish Club and Public School Mu-sic Supervisors Club. To open Friday's program the Jun-ior Speech department presented six young students in a dainty skit en-titled, "An Old-Fashioned Garden," which was given with musical ac-companiment. By virtue of winning the final con-test Pi Omega Pi will possess the prize cup for the year. The Masquers' committee in charge of the tournament was Rose Ramthun, Lillian Kuechler, Harvey Swenson, and Lewis Bartlett, stage manager. Owing to a mistake in counting the ratings the English Club was award-ed first in the final contest. When the scores were interpreted correctly it was found that first place should be given to Pi Omega Pi, who produced "The Mayor and The Manicure." The judges ranked them two first places and a second, and the English group received two seconds and a first. The English Club courteously withdrew in favor of Pi Omega Pi. Prof. Jensen Is In Charge of Local Arrangements Scholarship awards, given at the end of each quarter, were presented to 105 honor students by President David Allen Anderson, on January 29, at a student assembly. These scholarship awards were established last year to recognize and encourage a high grade of scholarship. Gold medals are awarded to those who earn 2.10 or more honor points for each credit hour, and silver medals to those who earn 1.85 to 2.09 honor points for each credit hour. To be eligible students must carry at least 12 credit hours. Five students, Helen Burton, Mabel Eggers, Mary Hyatt, Irma Maschke and Zenie Price, have earned gold medals for the third time. Four others, Dorothy Davies, Elizabeth Holtz, Elmer Loken and Rose Ram-thun, received the distinction the sec-ond time. Those who received the gold medals for the first time are Lillian Allen, Johanna Bauder, Marjorie Black, War-ner Blake, Grace Clarkson, Evangeline Cumiford, Bernice Dailey, Perry Don- - ey, Pearl Eicher, Pearl Greeno, Elmer Hanson, Ann Heck, Ira Hess, Georgia Kemper, Martha Kilker, Elinor Krau-shaar, Harold Marquis, Lois Oehler, Bernice O'Grady, Edna Olson, Louise O'Toole, Shirley Potter, Helen Powell, Esther Robertson, Francis Sauer, Lucile Scholberg, Robert Soike, Es-ther Sueltz, Lorene Swenson, LaVern Vahldieck, Bernice VandenBerg, Doro-thy Vandewerker, Dale Ward, Doris Watters, Blythe Weed, Gertrude Weis-man, Ila Williams, Carol Jean Wilson. Seven students were listed as win-ners of, the silver medal for a second year: Barbara Anderson, Virgil Bell, George Fossum, Helen Kelly, Elvera Kundert, Alice Lortscher, LaVaun Vahldieck. A group of fifty-five received the silver medal for the first time: Erma Angerhofer, Julia Berg, Viola Boek-elheide, Ruth Bovee, Margaret Brown, Edna Bruns, Chester Buenning, Emma Carda, Lola Carter, Dorothy Casavant, Winifred Cody, Dorothy DeMersse-man, Delila Dettmer, Marcella Eide, Ruth Eldredge, John Elsing, Johnanna Elsing, Flora Grinde, Reva Hagg, Winnie Herbst, Sophia Homan, Rob-ert Irvin, Dorothy Johnson, Gurnald Johnson, Marion Karrigan, Srelda Kienast, .Elda Kienest, Jenevere Knutson, Lillian Kuechler, Florence Lewis, Arthur Metcalfe, Thelma Mil-nor, Charlotte Mollenbrink, Gladys Mott, Edward Moyer, Emil Olen, Elizabeth Petcoff, Cleone Pierce, Ella Pietz, Irene Polnau, Harriet Premack, Doris Reich, Dorothy Reich, Virginia Rowlee, Norval Strachan, Lloyd Swar-tout, Eugenie Tulson, Louise Wake, Margaret Westenberger, Elva Whi-taker, Clinton Williams, Faith Will-iamson, Orville Wilson, Esther Zech, LaRoy Zell. The national prize chemistry essays will be due February 9, according to Prof. Jensen who is in charge of the contest. Much interest is being shown in the contest. About 30 students are writ-ing essays for English credit through collateral reading, and more than fifty students, who are regular chemistry students are entering the contest with essays. It may be recalled that Jack Readey won the first national prize essay in 1928 with a cash prize of $500.00, and that Russell Jonas of Sturgis won sec-ond place in 1929, with a cash prize of $300. Mr. Willard, a student at Eastern State Teachers College, took a second place prize in the contest last year. This explains why so much enthusiasm is prevalent. Harold Stoakes, Charles City, Iowa, and LaRoy Zell, Aberdeen, won first honors in the local contest here last year. Their essays failed to place at the national contest but they de-rived much benefit from their work. Mr. Jensen has not yet announced who the local judges will be. y. W. WILL SPONSOR ANNUAL VAUDEVILLE THE DATE IS FEBRUARY 13 Fifteen Campus Organizations are Entered; Attractive Prizes Are Offered A great interest has been shown again in the Y. W. C. A. annual vaude-ville to be given in the college audi-torium the night of Friday, February 13, at 7:30 o'clock. Admission charges will be twenty-five cents and ten cents extra for reserved seats which will be on sale at the secretary's of-fice beginning February 10. This year the clubs have shown un-usual interest and an evening of fun is promised. A goodly number of en-tries are in up to date. At the time of this writing, the following organi-zations are entered under one of three heads—artistic, clever, or appropriate to the organization: W. S. G. A., Mas-quers, Lincoln and Graham Hall, Kin-dergarten Primary Council, Inter-mediate Teachers, W. A. A., French- Spanish, Home Economics, Beaux Arts, Secondary Education, Pi Omega Pi, Leadership. A first prize of ten dollars and a second prize of three dollars will be given in each class. The object of presenting an even-ing's entertainment of this nature is to secure funds to make it possible for our college through Y. W. C. A. to be represented at the national Y. W. C. A. conference at Geneva. The Geneva Conference is one of the biggest of its kind in the North-west. Last year Belle Wallen, presi-dent; and Lila VandenBerg, secretary, were representives at Geneva. Reli-gious workers of both national and in-ternational repute are on the pro-grams at the conference. For the past five years, Y. W. has sponsored a vaudeville. Miss Kroe-ger has been financial adviser for three years. Y. W. appreciates her efficient leadership in this regard. The dramatics classes, through Mr. Hark-ness and Mr. Ramay, are cooperating in the staging of the entertainment. Dorothy Stone, financial secretary, is student chairman of the vaudeville. Professor Goodsell, through his de-partment, will see that music is fur-nished for the evening. The Y. W. C. A. Vaudeville represents one of the finest pieces of club and departmental cooperation offered on the campus. Y. W. appreciates the cooperation of the many clubs which make possible this splendid, yearly feature. DEBATERS MET NORTH DAKOTANS LAST WEEK ACCOMPANIED BY HARKNESS Two College Teams Meet Two North Dakota Word-Mixers on Free Trade Question Accompanied by Prof. P. J. Hark-ness, four debaters traveled to Val-ley City, last Thursday morning, where they met the Valley City Teach-ers College that afternoon. Louis Anderson, of Lowry, Harvey Swenson and Mairon 'Karrigan, of Aberdeen, took the negative side of the question: "Resolved, that the na-tions should adopt a policy of free trade." Friday evening Genevieve Keller teamed with Marion Karrigan against a Jamestown negative team while Harvey Swenson teamed with Louis Anderson against a Jamestown af-- firmative team, also at Jamestown. JENSEN COMPLETES PROJECT Prof. J. H. Jensen, chairman of the committee on minimum equipment for high school chemistry, announces that the material is now completed and will be sent to the American Chemical As-sociation senate, which is composed of three members, for their approval. This committee will meet at Indian-apolis. There are more than sixteen thousand high schools which are mem-bers of this society. Considerable work has been accom-plished here by Mr. Jensen who has supervised all the activities. Several of the local students have compiled material as requirements for earning their Sigma Delta Epsilon keys. Mem-bers of Mr. Jensen's methods classes have also worked on this project. Ex-Teacher Visits Campus Mrs. Zillah E. Wilson was a recent visitor on the campus. She was a member of the first faculty of the school, serving for fourteen years, from 1902 to 1916, as a critic teacher in the training school, teaching the seventh and eighth grades. While in the city Mrs. Wilson visited friends among whom are a number of faculty members. During her stay she was luncheon guest at the Crawford home. Miss Dorothy Hooper, who was once a pupil under Mrs. Wilson in the training school, was also a guest. Mrs. Wilson's home is in Luverne, Minnesota. Individual pictures of members of Rhenania were taken for the Pasque last week. LET BAND SPONSOR DANCE The band at the University of South Dakota is playing for a series of all-school dances there. The money ob-tained in such a manner is set aside for use in making an extensive tour next spring. According to reports this has proved a very successful un-dertaking. In view of this, we sug-gest that the band here play for one or more all-school dances. Instead of paying for outside music, the school can pay the band. This money can then be set aside to be used in defraying expenses for a spring tour. Some may say that the band can not furnish dance music. But after hearing the band we are confident that it can. Still another idea is to have a select group from the band or orchestra, or both, play for an all-school dance. Many students are asking for more dances and would welcome such an ar-rangement as suggested above. Why not act on the suggestion? —Clifford Welch. SPIRIT OF SPRING IS HERE When it gets too warm to wear overcoats, and the golf season is get-ting underway, then, according to Le- Ross Morris, superintendent of build-ings and grounds, it is in order to be-gin the transplanting of trees. An elm has been transferred from the back campus to the east side of the campus, directly in front of the Ad-ministration Building. The ground, ac-cording to Mr. Morris, is frozen only to a depth of about eighteen inches. Wolves Play Augustana Friday Game Will Be Seventh Conference Encounter For Local Men LAST LYCEUM NUMBER APPEARS HERE MONDAY With a quintet that has, as yet, been unable to break into the win column, Augustana College will invade Aber-deen tomorrow evening. The game will be the seventh conference encoun-ter for the Wolves. But little is known of individual performers for the Sioux Falls quin-tet. Kochenderfer, a forward, from Hendricks, Minnesota, is playing his first year and has been scoring freely in encounters of the past month. Sonstegaard is another forward for the Viking quintet and Reinertson usu-ally holds the center position. Gun-derson and Quaiset, at guards, are relied on for the guarding duty. A weak defensive team has account- Haney Addresses Students ed in a large measure for the defeats suffered by the Augustana men this season. At the hands of Spearfish they suffered their first conference loss 27 to 17, with Kochenderfer lead-ing the Vikings on scoring. A somewhat revised lineup may be used by Coach Campbell to meet the Augustana invasion. Captain Black will probably be started at the cen-ter post but of the forwards the mos'.. that can be said is that either Wil-liams and Scherf, or Doney and Swar-tout, will start. All will probably see action during the contest. Dresselhuys and Marquis are start-ing guards with Mattice labeled for use during the contest. Pasque Goes to Printer CECELIAN SINGERS ARE NOTED Four Ensemble Artists Promise A Most Attractive Program One of the outstanding musical or-ganizations of the Northwest, the Cecelian Singers, is to appear in the auditorium, next Monday night. This is to be the concluding number on the entertainment course. The program will consist of opera, oratorio, and con-cert numbers. The ensemble artists, Meta Ashwin Birnbach, soprano; Mabel Pelletier, contralto; Mathew D. Crawford, ten-or; Edward H. Herman, bass; and Al-ma Westin Smith, accompanist, have quite a reputation in the Northwest. They have appeared many times with the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra. They have sung with well-known opera companies and made extensive tours where they have won distinctions as artists of rank. Students will be admitted on their student activity tickets. HILLS ARE HONOR GUESTS Last week, Dr. and Mrs. J. M. Mc- Callister entertained at their home in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Hill who are leaving soon for their new home in Minneapolis. Among the players were Messrs. and Mesdames Lee Byrne, John Muhn, Arthur Hill, C. M. Barnes, Milton Tostlebe, Miss Lillian Hilt and Prof. Harold Alsup. Mr. and Mrs. Hill were given party gifts. Bridge awards were won by Mrs. Byrne and Mrs. Barnes. Mr. Hill was formerly an instructor of sociology and economics, and Mrs. Hill was an instructor in the campus school. The 1932 Annual Will Contain Many Attractive Features Chaplain of Sioux Falls Penitentiary Speaker at Special Assembly N. L. Haney, chaplain of the Sioux Falls Penitentiary, was speaker at the student assembly, Monday morning. Dr. David Allen Anderson was in charge of the meeting. "I have two convictions," stated Mr. Haney in the opening part of his talk, "One is an abundance of faith in hum-anity. The other is a tremendous faith in the power of the Master to change and remake human life." Building his address from this basis, Mr. Haney traced the relation of re-ligious devotions to the inmate in a penal organization. "No class- of re-ligious work is more inspiring and no group is more appreciative than a group of inmates," he stated. "Dur-ing the past year both our chapel ser-vice attendance and Bible class atten-dance have greatly increased, although it is optional to the men whether they care to devote this period to religious study. Facts on the education of the aver-age inmate were given. A large num-ber are, according to Mr. Haney, il-literate. The first grade of the prison school usually has from eight to ten men enrolled. The largest class is the third and fourth with an average en-rollment of from 30 to 40 students. Men in prison are constantly going through a moral and mental transi-tion, Mr. Haney stated. "And I be-lieve," he added, "that a man should not be made to stay longer in prison than it takes him to change his view-point." The girls in the physical education department who are majoring in the courses have ordered new outfits. Under the efficient leadership of Lewis Bartlett, editor-in-chief, the 1932 Pasque is progressing nicely. The first two sections, 64 pages, are al-ready in the hands of the printer and proof is expected almost any day. The third section is awaiting a few odds and ends and it, too, will be ready for the publisher. These three sec-tions contain the introductory pages, views of the campus, the faculty, and senior, junior and sophomore classes. Other sections still in the making will include the freshman class, popu-larity, activities, organizations, ath-letics, humor and advertising. It is expected that the book will be ready for distribution by May 10. The book this year will contain many new features. Among these are the most attractive cover ever produc-ed for The Pasque; an eight-page in • troductory section in two colors, a special Ben Day shadow background of an Indian fire on every page of the book. There are also many surprises in store which we are not permitted to mention here. Have you ordered your Pasque yet? THE SIOUX PROVINCE TOURNAMENT—a "LITTLE NATIONAL" by Prof. P. J. Harkness, South Dakota Zeta, Governor The 1930-31 Sioux Province tournament will he held at Morningside College at Sioux City, Iowa, on March 26, 27, 28. The schools of this province represent three states: North Da-kota, South Dakota and Iowa, and comprise the following Pi Kappa Delta chapters: North Dakota Alpha, Jamestown College, Jamestown. South Dakota Alpha, Dakota Wesleyan College, Mitchell. South Dakota Beta, Huron College, Huron. South Dakota Gamma, Yankton College, Yankton. South Dakota Delta, South Dakota State College, Brookings. South Dakota Epsilon, Sioux Falls College, Sioux Falls. South Dakota Zeta, Northern State Teachers College, Aberdeen. South Dakota Eta, Augustana College, Sioux Falls. South Dakota Theta, Eastern State Teachers College, Madison. Iowa Delta, Morningside College, Sioux City. Iowa Iota, Western Union College, La Mars. Iowa Kappa, Buena Vista College, Storm Lake. The Sioux Province is carried on in miniature national tournament fashion. Each chapter is assessed from $30.00 to $40.00 to cover expenses of the tournament. This pays for the judges, including the expert judge usually called in for the final contests. From six to eight rounds of debate are usually held with competition keen from the very beginning. The Sioux Province was the first to give medals to individuals. This was done at the last provincial meet at Huron in 1929. We plan to carry on this system of awards. In every department and phase of its convention, it is like the national,—the Sioux Province "Little National." The Forensic. OATES SPEAKS AT LEMMON W. M. Oates was in Lemmon, last Thursday, where he was the principal speaker at several events, addressing the high school students in the morn-ing; in the afternoon he was the guest speaker at a banquet of the Lions Club. Mr. Oates is Past District Gov-Two Lectures Announced ernor of the Lions. Two numbers on the summer school entertainment course have already been scheduled. They are Frances Homer, dramatic reader; and Clyde Fisher, lecturer on astronomy. Miss Homer is recognized through-out the country through her brilliant and varied repertoire of readings and her individual technique. Dr. Fisher has for years been in great demand for addresses in a lim-ited circle of the leading educational institutions and the college takes pleasure in announcing his appearance. His lucid exposition of subject matter, supplemented with marvelous motion-picture films and lantern slides, make a truly interesting and instructive lec-ture on the absorbing subject of astronomy. Tryouts for Senior Class Play, "The Royal Family," were held on Monday, beginning at 3:15 o'clock and at 7:00 Lukken To Give Voice Recital Thursdap in the evening. Will Offer Program of National Moods And Racial Dialed s JOHN N. FINLEY SA YS I dream now of a newspaper not especially for youth, but one which is fit for youth as well as age, fit to be carried into any schoolhouse and there used as a textbook, a history in i he pres-ent tense, a history which will bring the past into the present and help the present to see where the next day's march should lead. WALTER DAMROSCH SAYS Music is a language just as i he English or the German or the French is, but it is a language which above all others express-es our feelings—feelings which the child has just as much as the grownup—feelings of happiness, of sorrow, of joy, of misery, of reverence, of search for God, of patriotism, of all those things that make up the sum total of our inner life. Professor John Lukken is scheduled to present a voice recital during as-sembly time, Thursday, February 12. Miss McArthur will be his accompan-ist and she will also give a special piano number. The program is open to the public and will prove instruc-tive to everyone. The program is as follows: Types of Exalted National Moods: I Know a Hill—Whelpley Sundown (Londonderry Air—A rr by Wilson) Spring's Profusion—Franz My Ideal--Tosti Thou Art My Rest—Collan Hour of Dreaming—Hahn Types of Racial Dialect and humorous Moods: Marietta—Rornilli Stuttering Lovers--Hughes Richard of Tauntan Deane—Mallay Paul on the Hill—Anderson Ain't it a Shame—Gaul Redman's Death Chant—Bliss Old Chisholm Trail—Fox. This Debate Is Highlight Of Forensic Season; Miss Ramthun And Miss Milnor Will Represent Northern One of the high lights of North-ern's debate schedule will be reached when Rose Ramthun and Thelma Mil-nor meet the University of Pittsburgh debaters here tonight in an open-forum discussion. The question for debate will be the unemployment and insurance question. This question should prove to be both interesting and vital because of its timely aspects. The University of Pittsburgh is na-tionally known for its accomplish-ments in the forensic field. "The chief aims of debates as we see it, as we try to practice it, is to give students instruction in public dis-cussion. We do not make debating either a major sport, a gladitorial combat, or an advertising agency. A second aim it to give interested audi-ences an opportunity to hear public questions discussed. Our debates are not shows staged for the people's amusement, but forums for the mold-ing of public opinion. "Our debaters are urged to try to present the truth, and to present it in a favorable light, not merely to score hits or to win victories." These are the aims and policies as out-lined by the University of Pittsburgh. In this light their debaters should be able to give considerable information on this question; the debate should be of great interest to the general public. Miss Ramthun and Miss Milnor are debate veterans and should be able to cope with the Pittsburgh word-mixers. They have won many laurels in this field. Last spring at the Pi Kappa Delta Convention they placed third in the national finals. Two years ago at the provincial Pi Kappa Delta convention they placed second. The general public is welcome and urged to attend this debate because of its economic aspects which are vital and significant to every American citizen. Q Ti-/Ei.m0=2i A4/ L._ tgoQ

Ex-Teacher Visits Campus Mrs. Zillah E. Wilson was a recent visitor on the campus. She was a member of the first faculty of the school, serving for fourteen years, from 1902 to 1916, as a critic teacher in the training school, teaching the seventh and eighth grades. While in the city Mrs. Wilson visited friends among whom are a number of faculty members. During her stay she was luncheon guest at the Crawford home. Miss Dorothy Hooper, who was once a pupil under Mrs. Wilson in the training school, was also a guest. Mrs. Wilson's home is in Luverne, Minnesota. Individual pictures of members of Rhenania were taken for the Pasque last week. LET BAND SPONSOR DANCE The band at the University of South Dakota is playing for a series of all-school dances there. The money ob-tained in such a manner is set aside for use in making an extensive tour next spring. According to reports this has proved a very successful un-dertaking. In view of this, we sug-gest that the band here play for one or more all-school dances. Instead of paying for outside music, the school can pay the band. This money can then be set aside to be used in defraying expenses for a spring tour. Some may say that the band can not furnish dance music. But after hearing the band we are confident that it can. Still another idea is to have a select group from the band or orchestra, or both, play for an all-school dance. Many students are asking for more dances and would welcome such an ar-rangement as suggested above. Why not act on the suggestion? —Clifford Welch. SPIRIT OF SPRING IS HERE When it gets too warm to wear overcoats, and the golf season is get-ting underway, then, according to Le- Ross Morris, superintendent of build-ings and grounds, it is in order to be-gin the transplanting of trees. An elm has been transferred from the back campus to the east side of the campus, directly in front of the Ad-ministration Building. The ground, ac-cording to Mr. Morris, is frozen only to a depth of about eighteen inches. Wolves Play Augustana Friday Game Will Be Seventh Conference Encounter For Local Men LAST LYCEUM NUMBER APPEARS HERE MONDAY With a quintet that has, as yet, been unable to break into the win column, Augustana College will invade Aber-deen tomorrow evening. The game will be the seventh conference encoun-ter for the Wolves. But little is known of individual performers for the Sioux Falls quin-tet. Kochenderfer, a forward, from Hendricks, Minnesota, is playing his first year and has been scoring freely in encounters of the past month. Sonstegaard is another forward for the Viking quintet and Reinertson usu-ally holds the center position. Gun-derson and Quaiset, at guards, are relied on for the guarding duty. A weak defensive team has account- Haney Addresses Students ed in a large measure for the defeats suffered by the Augustana men this season. At the hands of Spearfish they suffered their first conference loss 27 to 17, with Kochenderfer lead-ing the Vikings on scoring. A somewhat revised lineup may be used by Coach Campbell to meet the Augustana invasion. Captain Black will probably be started at the cen-ter post but of the forwards the mos'.. that can be said is that either Wil-liams and Scherf, or Doney and Swar-tout, will start. All will probably see action during the contest. Dresselhuys and Marquis are start-ing guards with Mattice labeled for use during the contest. Pasque Goes to Printer CECELIAN SINGERS ARE NOTED Four Ensemble Artists Promise A Most Attractive Program One of the outstanding musical or-ganizations of the Northwest, the Cecelian Singers, is to appear in the auditorium, next Monday night. This is to be the concluding number on the entertainment course. The program will consist of opera, oratorio, and con-cert numbers. The ensemble artists, Meta Ashwin Birnbach, soprano; Mabel Pelletier, contralto; Mathew D. Crawford, ten-or; Edward H. Herman, bass; and Al-ma Westin Smith, accompanist, have quite a reputation in the Northwest. They have appeared many times with the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra. They have sung with well-known opera companies and made extensive tours where they have won distinctions as artists of rank. Students will be admitted on their student activity tickets. HILLS ARE HONOR GUESTS Last week, Dr. and Mrs. J. M. Mc- Callister entertained at their home in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Hill who are leaving soon for their new home in Minneapolis. Among the players were Messrs. and Mesdames Lee Byrne, John Muhn, Arthur Hill, C. M. Barnes, Milton Tostlebe, Miss Lillian Hilt and Prof. Harold Alsup. Mr. and Mrs. Hill were given party gifts. Bridge awards were won by Mrs. Byrne and Mrs. Barnes. Mr. Hill was formerly an instructor of sociology and economics, and Mrs. Hill was an instructor in the campus school. The 1932 Annual Will Contain Many Attractive Features Chaplain of Sioux Falls Penitentiary Speaker at Special Assembly N. L. Haney, chaplain of the Sioux Falls Penitentiary, was speaker at the student assembly, Monday morning. Dr. David Allen Anderson was in charge of the meeting. "I have two convictions," stated Mr. Haney in the opening part of his talk, "One is an abundance of faith in hum-anity. The other is a tremendous faith in the power of the Master to change and remake human life." Building his address from this basis, Mr. Haney traced the relation of re-ligious devotions to the inmate in a penal organization. "No class- of re-ligious work is more inspiring and no group is more appreciative than a group of inmates," he stated. "Dur-ing the past year both our chapel ser-vice attendance and Bible class atten-dance have greatly increased, although it is optional to the men whether they care to devote this period to religious study. Facts on the education of the aver-age inmate were given. A large num-ber are, according to Mr. Haney, il-literate. The first grade of the prison school usually has from eight to ten men enrolled. The largest class is the third and fourth with an average en-rollment of from 30 to 40 students. Men in prison are constantly going through a moral and mental transi-tion, Mr. Haney stated. "And I be-lieve," he added, "that a man should not be made to stay longer in prison than it takes him to change his view-point." The girls in the physical education department who are majoring in the courses have ordered new outfits. Under the efficient leadership of Lewis Bartlett, editor-in-chief, the 1932 Pasque is progressing nicely. The first two sections, 64 pages, are al-ready in the hands of the printer and proof is expected almost any day. The third section is awaiting a few odds and ends and it, too, will be ready for the publisher. These three sec-tions contain the introductory pages, views of the campus, the faculty, and senior, junior and sophomore classes. Other sections still in the making will include the freshman class, popu-larity, activities, organizations, ath-letics, humor and advertising. It is expected that the book will be ready for distribution by May 10. The book this year will contain many new features. Among these are the most attractive cover ever produc-ed for The Pasque; an eight-page in • troductory section in two colors, a special Ben Day shadow background of an Indian fire on every page of the book. There are also many surprises in store which we are not permitted to mention here. Have you ordered your Pasque yet? THE SIOUX PROVINCE TOURNAMENT—a "LITTLE NATIONAL" by Prof. P. J. Harkness, South Dakota Zeta, Governor The 1930-31 Sioux Province tournament will he held at Morningside College at Sioux City, Iowa, on March 26, 27, 28. The schools of this province represent three states: North Da-kota, South Dakota and Iowa, and comprise the following Pi Kappa Delta chapters: North Dakota Alpha, Jamestown College, Jamestown. South Dakota Alpha, Dakota Wesleyan College, Mitchell. South Dakota Beta, Huron College, Huron. South Dakota Gamma, Yankton College, Yankton. South Dakota Delta, South Dakota State College, Brookings. South Dakota Epsilon, Sioux Falls College, Sioux Falls. South Dakota Zeta, Northern State Teachers College, Aberdeen. South Dakota Eta, Augustana College, Sioux Falls. South Dakota Theta, Eastern State Teachers College, Madison. Iowa Delta, Morningside College, Sioux City. Iowa Iota, Western Union College, La Mars. Iowa Kappa, Buena Vista College, Storm Lake. The Sioux Province is carried on in miniature national tournament fashion. Each chapter is assessed from $30.00 to $40.00 to cover expenses of the tournament. This pays for the judges, including the expert judge usually called in for the final contests. From six to eight rounds of debate are usually held with competition keen from the very beginning. The Sioux Province was the first to give medals to individuals. This was done at the last provincial meet at Huron in 1929. We plan to carry on this system of awards. In every department and phase of its convention, it is like the national,—the Sioux Province "Little National." The Forensic. OATES SPEAKS AT LEMMON W. M. Oates was in Lemmon, last Thursday, where he was the principal speaker at several events, addressing the high school students in the morn-ing; in the afternoon he was the guest speaker at a banquet of the Lions Club. Mr. Oates is Past District Gov-Two Lectures Announced ernor of the Lions. Two numbers on the summer school entertainment course have already been scheduled. They are Frances Homer, dramatic reader; and Clyde Fisher, lecturer on astronomy. Miss Homer is recognized through-out the country through her brilliant and varied repertoire of readings and her individual technique. Dr. Fisher has for years been in great demand for addresses in a lim-ited circle of the leading educational institutions and the college takes pleasure in announcing his appearance. His lucid exposition of subject matter, supplemented with marvelous motion-picture films and lantern slides, make a truly interesting and instructive lec-ture on the absorbing subject of astronomy. Tryouts for Senior Class Play, "The Royal Family," were held on Monday, beginning at 3:15 o'clock and at 7:00 Lukken To Give Voice Recital Thursdap in the evening. Will Offer Program of National Moods And Racial Dialed s JOHN N. FINLEY SA YS I dream now of a newspaper not especially for youth, but one which is fit for youth as well as age, fit to be carried into any schoolhouse and there used as a textbook, a history in i he pres-ent tense, a history which will bring the past into the present and help the present to see where the next day's march should lead. WALTER DAMROSCH SAYS Music is a language just as i he English or the German or the French is, but it is a language which above all others express-es our feelings—feelings which the child has just as much as the grownup—feelings of happiness, of sorrow, of joy, of misery, of reverence, of search for God, of patriotism, of all those things that make up the sum total of our inner life. Professor John Lukken is scheduled to present a voice recital during as-sembly time, Thursday, February 12. Miss McArthur will be his accompan-ist and she will also give a special piano number. The program is open to the public and will prove instruc-tive to everyone. The program is as follows: Types of Exalted National Moods: I Know a Hill—Whelpley Sundown (Londonderry Air—A rr by Wilson) Spring's Profusion—Franz My Ideal--Tosti Thou Art My Rest—Collan Hour of Dreaming—Hahn Types of Racial Dialect and humorous Moods: Marietta—Rornilli Stuttering Lovers--Hughes Richard of Tauntan Deane—Mallay Paul on the Hill—Anderson Ain't it a Shame—Gaul Redman's Death Chant—Bliss Old Chisholm Trail—Fox. This Debate Is Highlight Of Forensic Season; Miss Ramthun And Miss Milnor Will Represent Northern One of the high lights of North-ern's debate schedule will be reached when Rose Ramthun and Thelma Mil-nor meet the University of Pittsburgh debaters here tonight in an open-forum discussion. The question for debate will be the unemployment and insurance question. This question should prove to be both interesting and vital because of its timely aspects. The University of Pittsburgh is na-tionally known for its accomplish-ments in the forensic field. "The chief aims of debates as we see it, as we try to practice it, is to give students instruction in public dis-cussion. We do not make debating either a major sport, a gladitorial combat, or an advertising agency. A second aim it to give interested audi-ences an opportunity to hear public questions discussed. Our debates are not shows staged for the people's amusement, but forums for the mold-ing of public opinion. "Our debaters are urged to try to present the truth, and to present it in a favorable light, not merely to score hits or to win victories." These are the aims and policies as out-lined by the University of Pittsburgh. In this light their debaters should be able to give considerable information on this question; the debate should be of great interest to the general public. Miss Ramthun and Miss Milnor are debate veterans and should be able to cope with the Pittsburgh word-mixers. They have won many laurels in this field. Last spring at the Pi Kappa Delta Convention they placed third in the national finals. Two years ago at the provincial Pi Kappa Delta convention they placed second. The general public is welcome and urged to attend this debate because of its economic aspects which are vital and significant to every American citizen. Q Ti-/Ei.m0=2i A4/ L._ tgoQ |
