              NORTHERN HAS FOUR
DELEGATES AT MEET
ELECT ZICK PRESIDENT
Yankton College Is Host To
Eighteenth College Press
Convention
The eighteenth annual convention
of the South Dakota College Press
Association was brought to a close
without definite announcement as to
which college would entertain the con-vention
next year.
Mr. A. A. Applegate of State Col-lege
expressed a desire that the con-vention
be held at Brookings, but as
Brookings is not at present a member
of the association the question was
referred to the executive committee.
An outstanding program, chiefly
due to the efforts of Roger Nelson,
secretary, was enjoyed by the dele-gates.
Such outstanding and valuable
speakers as W. C. Lusk, head of the
Lusk-Mitchell newspapers; L. C. Mor-rison,
former head of the American
Legion; A. A. Segal, of the Bureau
of Engraving; M. H. Kammann, ed-itor
of the Yankton Public Opinion,
A. A. Applegate, head of the Depart-ment
of Journalism at State College,
and Professor J. C. Lindberg, director
cf publications at Northern, gave to
the delegates many new and worth-while
ideas.
Sigfried Mickelson, president of the
association, was in charge of all the
business sessions. Dr. G. H. Dur-and,
vice president of Yankton Col-lege,
officially welcomed the conven-tion
to the school.
At the close of the session the
'wards in the annual newspaper con-test
were announced and the officers
for the coming year were chosen.
In the newspaper contest, "The Ex-ponent"
received third; "The Stylus",
second; "The Mirror", first. There
were six competitors.
The officers for the coming year
are: president, William Zick, North-ern;
vice-president, Virginia Van
Brunt, Sioux Falls; advisers, Mr.
Grattan of Huron and Mr. Lindberg,
who continues as adviser for the fif-teenth
year. The secretary will be
chosen later from the school which
will entertain the association next
year.
The association voted at the closing
meeting to accept the petition from
Columbus Junior College for mem-bership.
Northern was represented by four
delegates, Burton Tiffany, Lorene
Soper, William Zick, Mr. Lindberg, all
of whom participated in the program.
DR. M. E. NUGENT
ON N. E. A. COMMITTEE
Dr. M. E. Nugent has just been in-formed
by Paul C. Stetson, president
of the department of superintendence
of the N. E. A., that he has been ap-pointed
a member of the committee
on Administration of Teacher Train-ing.
The subject before this commit-tee
is as follows: "What, if any, lim-itation
of the supply of new teachers,
hould be established, by whom, and
how ?" The committee will make its
report at the annual N. E. A. conven-tion
to be held in Cleveland, Febru-ary
24-March 1,
Fair Reactions Presented
The students at Northern were en-tertained
Thursday morning at as-sembly
with travel talks given by
three students who had attended the
Century of Progress this summer.
Eldor Hafnor, who is state presi-dent
of the Y. M. C. A. told of his
experiences in viewing the Fair with
several representatives of the Y. M.
C. A. from almost all the states in
the United States and from foreign
countries, and stressed the vast con-trast
between the people who were in
Chicago expressly to visit the Fair
and the great number of people who
were unemployed only a few blocks
away sleeping on park benches.
Helen Smith gave an interesting
and educational talk on Tony Sarg's
Marionette Shows and on the En-chanted
Island.
Steven Keane summarized the talks
given before, and added his own im-pressions
of what he had gained by
his visit to the Fair.
Doctor Lawrence commended the
speakers on their lectures, and made
some observations concerning the
general attitude of the students on
the campus, stressing the need for
all students showing cordiality and
friendliness toward the faculty mem-bers
and their fellow students.
M. F. TOSTLEBE TO
ADDRESS TEACHERS
Prof. M. F. Tostlebe will be the
principal speaker at two important
meetings of McCook county teachers
on November 11. In the morning he
will speak to the elementary teachers
of the county and in the afternoon he
will speak to the high school instruct-ors.
His subjects in both instances
will concern the application of com-mon
science and its relation to the
higher sciences taught in the higher
grades, This is a subject in which
Mr. Tostlebe has long been interested,
and in which he has done much study,
because he feels it has been neglected
and poorly taught.
EASTERN LEADS
The speech division of Eastern
State Normal is ranked as one of the
three colleges entitled to eleventh
place in the United States, by "The
Forensic", publication of Pi Kappa
Delta, which has just come from the
press. This is based on the number
of contests won at national tourna-ments.
Eastern tied with Central
Missouri State Teachers College, War-renburg,
and Park College, Parkville,
Missouri, for eleventh place. The on-ly
South Dakota College to surpass
Eastern was Augustana, which rank-ed
in sixth place. Northern ranks
thirteenth; S. D. State, sixteenth; Da-kota
Wesleyan ties with Yankton for
twenty-fifth. The ranking concerns
135 institutions.

TWO PICTURES SHOWN
During the first part of the assem-bly,
Tuesday, Professor Baillie led
the students in several songs. The
second part of the period was devoted
to a program featuring education
week; two educational movies were
shown, appropriate to the occasion.
The first picture was "The Light of a
Race", and gave the history of arti-ficial
illumination from the cave man
to the electric lights of today. The
second picture, "The World of Paper",
gave the history of paper making.
Students of Northern and the gen-eral
public will be given a most un-usual
opportunity next Thursday ev-ening,
November 16, when they will
have for their entertainment Charles
Wakefield Cadman and his quartette.
Mr. Cadman has been a prolific
song composer. He first became fam-ous
for his work in this form. Lillian
Nordica was responsible for his in-itial
popularity by introducing to the
concert public "From the Land of Sky
Blue Water". John McCormack, the
famed Irish tenor, followed quickly
with "At Dawning" and "I Hear a
Thrush at Eve". From the first pre-sentation
down to the present, Cad-man's
lyric words have occupied an
honored place on the programs of
practically all the leading vocalists.
Mr. Cadman's quartette is compos-ed
of four finished artists. Miss Hel-en
Freund, soprano, and Miss Con-stance
Eberhart, contralto, are lead-ing
soloists with the Chicago Civic
Opera Company, while Mr. Arthur
LETTER OF APPRECIATION
The faculty cast played "PEG 0'
MY HEART" for the benefit of the
Community Chest, Wednesday night,
November 1, before a large and ap-preciative
audience. This was the
third performance in the city.
Among the outstanding players was
Marjorie Thomas as Peg, who played
the lead role in her usual vivacious
manner. Earl James played the part
of the young English peer gave a
very pleasing performance. Profes-sor
Gerber as an attorney showed his
ability to portray a typical English
barrister. His diction and makeup
made a pleasing impression on the
audience. Professor Lukken, playing
one of the hardest parts of the play
as the deceiver, gave an excellent per-formanee.
Miss Orton played the
part of the unhappy daughter of the
family very well. Professor Baillie,
playing the comedy part, carried the
humor throughout the evening. Miss
Sparrow portrayed the English moth-er
throughout the play; her English
dialect and expression were perfect.
Professor Coe as Jarvis, the butler,
showed his ability to play a difficult
role. At all times he was the staid,
grave and dignified English servant.
Miss Aldrich as the maid, was able to
hold her own with the mischievous
Peg. Dr. Van Walker as Peg's fath-er,
made his part very realistic with
an Irish brogue and a clay pipe.
The following letter of appreciation
was sent to the cast by the City
Chamber of Commerce:
Dear Mr. Harkness.
"We wish to take this means of ex-tending
our sincere thanks to you and
the entire cast, for your untiring ef-forts
in presenting, PEG 0' MY
HEART, for the benefit of the Aber-deen
Community Chest fund.
"The play, PEG 0' MY HEART,
presented some very fine talent and
we wish to thank each and every per-son
participating in the play, as well
as those persons assisting with the
play, for their time and efforts.
"Assuring you of our sincere ap-preciation
in this favor, we remain
Very truly yours,
Aberdeen Community Chest, Inc.

CLUB HEARS LAWRENCE
ON WORLD MINDEDNESS
Dr. C. G. Lawyrence spoke to the
members of the Kiwanis Club on
Tuesday, October 31, following their
luncheon meeting. His talk centered
around the idea that the schools must
play a great part in the creation of
"world-mindedness".
He stressed the idea of the inter-dependence
of nations, told of the
part that the younger generation is
to play, and spoke of the paradox of
wealth and poverty.
Careful education, through under-standing
of other people, through ex-change
of courtesies between nations,
and cultivation of friendship and good
will, are antidotes for war threats,
Dr. Lawrence said, in urging schools
to work for world-mindedness.
Several instrumental numbers were
presented by Prof. Rutter, accompan-ied
by Miss Stackpole, to round out
the program.
Kraft, tenor, and Mr. Eric Russell
Cooke, baritone, are well known on
both the operatic and concert stage.
Mr. Cadman will present two of his
more serious works, the first, "The
Willow Tree", an opera in one act,
and "White Enchantment", an oper-atic
quartette cycle of fourteen num-bers.
To be able to hear and see all five
of these artists in one evening's pro-gram
is indeed a golden opportunity.
Because we wish everyone to be able
to attend, there has been no advance
in prices. People are urged to call
the Financial Secretary's office at the
College for reservations which can be
made for the general admission price
of 40c. High School students will be
admitted for 2'5c, College students and
faculty will be admitted on their ac-tivity
tickets.
The auditorium should be crowded
to its capacity for this evening of de-lightful
entertainment.
BOTH TEAMS STUBBORN
Willard's Punting Saves
Day For Northern; Le-land's
Run Gives Thrill
With the temperature standing near
zero and a bad wind blowing across
the field, the Wolves and Superior
Peds played a 0 to 0 tie, last Friday
night. This was an upset, for the
Peds were rated the equal of Moor-head
who beat the Wolves last Gypsy
Day. The Peds started out strong,
making four first downs in a row be-fore
the Wolves could adjust them-selves
to their tricky offense and
brace, stopping them on the twenty-five
yard line. Both lines were strong
and from this point on both teams
had trouble making any ground. Wil-lard's
consistant punting was all that
kept Northern in the game at all. He
booted one punt 70 yards and placed
them out of bounds near the 10-yard
line throughout the quarter.
In the second period the play was
more even, the ball being kept in the
middle of the field. A pass from Wil-lard
to Liston, making Aberdeen's first
first down. Neither team threatened
in this period. In the third period,
Northern rooters got a thrill when
Percy Leland made a 26-yard run to
Superior's 4-yard line, where the Su-perior
team took a foothold and held
the Wolves for no gain in four plung-es
through the center of the line. An-other
good chance to score came late
in the fourth period when Willard ran
a Superior punt back 42 yards to Su-perior's
18-yard line, but again the
Wolves could make no gain against
the rugged Ped line and with the time
growing short, Birdseye tried a place
kick, which was not successful. The
Peds obtained the ball on their 20-
yard line and unleashed a passing at-tack
in an ineffective effort to score.
Geanunzio and Higgins, ends, looked
especially good in the line and Rich
and Proper excelled in the backfield
for Superior. Northern could boast
no really one outstanding man in the
line, but could name all seven men as
having played well. Charles (Mutt)
Willard looked the best in the back-field.
Superior outgained the Wolves,
gaining 93 yards to the Wolves 80
and made eight first downs to North-ern's
three.
