The Exponent Vol. XXXVIII, No. 5 Northern State Teachers College, Aberdeen, South Dakota October 27, 1939 Old Fashioned Frolic in Gym Tonight If You've Ance In Your Pance Don't Miss The Barn Dance Plans were completed today for Masquer's spectacular barn-burn-ing bang-up barn dance to be held in old Spafford barn tonight. N. S. T. C. students were urged by Mas-que. officers to bring their "old gals in old clothes for an old fashioned frolic in the barn." Prof. Bob Schmidt, Masquer prexy predicted that this year's barn dance will be "barnier than ever." Joe Kelly, veteran barn stormer and chief of haying oper-ations suggested reluctantly that the dance would be "cornier than ever." Tessie, the bovine beauty, brought at great trouble and ex-pense direct from a stalling en-gagement near Bath, smiled coyly when your Exponent reporter greeted her, took a healthy poke at a fly, mumbled something about horns, and that she'd be there with "bells on." Theme songed with "0 Hay Can You See," the dance tonight will have as its decorative motif, hay, both baled and on the loose as it 'twere. According to Masquers, impor-tant things to remember concern-ing the dance are as follows: It's tonight It's in Spafford Gym Wear your old barny clothes Admission, 10c with your acti-vity ticket No feudin' allowed.

It was taken into the Soviet harbor of Murmansk by a German prize crew. According to Stephen Early, presidential press secretary, the City of Flint made a "perfectly legal and lawful voyage" according to American laws, but international law may look at it differently. The ques-tion of right of seizure—apparently supported by the Germans on their assertion that cantraband was aboard—was being investigated by the State Department.

November 4th, at 7:30. This ly-ceum number will be held at the Civic Arena because of the crowd expected. Faculty and students of both Central High School and Northern will be admitted through activity tickets. Mrs. Borge Rohde (her present name) will speak upon "This Democracy of Ours"— what it is and how it may be safe-guarded. A brief summary of Ruth Bryan Owen's career shows that she was the first woman ever to represent the "Old South" in Congress, she was the first woman on a Foreign Affairs Committee and the first woman to represent the United States at the Interpar-liamentary Union (London, 1930). Her appointment as Minister Pleni-potentiary and Envoy Extraordin-ary to Denmark gave her the dis-tinction of being America's first woman diplomat. Cundill Visits Campus ; Steele, Cundill Leave For Regents Meet Today Regent Frank Cundill of Isabel, South Dakota, chairman of Regents Committee for Northern State Teachers College, spent parts of Thursday and Friday on the cam-pus, investigating problems in con-nection with the completion and operation of the Boys' Dormitory. Today, Regent Frank Cundill and President Steele leave for Ver-million, South Dakota, to attend the meeting of the Board of Re-gents tomorrow morning. Dr. Steele participated in a panel on Monday, October 16, at. Pierre, discussing the "School as a Factor in Child Growth." Tuesday, Octo-ber 17, he addressed the conven-tion on the topic, "Human Rela-tionships and Development of Child." Monday, October 23, he ad-dressed the 1VIens' Club of the St. Marks Episcopal Guild on "Our Responsibilities for Religious En-vironment of Child." The Faculty this week received an invitation from the Faculty of Ellendale Normal and Industrial School, Ellendale, North Dakota, to come to Ellendale compus for a dinner in November, the date to be decided upon later. Northern To Entertain Hallowe'eners Tuesday Northern is doing her part to give Aberdeen a "safe and sane" Hallowe'en. Johnson field is being given for the activities, and Pro-fessors Marc Cleworth, Theo. Rozendal, and N. H. Mewaldt are serving on the committee in charge of affairs. According to the committee, children from the first to fourth grade will have a costume parade with a movie at the civic arena afterwards. Upper-grade children of the city will enjoy football games and peanut races at John-son field. Although this "safe and sane" Hallowe'en costs the merchants of Aberdeen approximately $350, this method is considered cheaper than the $1000 property damage the community has suffered in previous years.

They were: Pro-fessors E. A. Bixler, M. E. Nugent, J. R. McAnnelly, and V. H. Culp. Returning home with a fair amount of game, the hunters en-. countered their first difficulty at the edge of the city. There a game warden met them, demanding their hunting licenses. Professor Bixler and Dr. Nugent produced the desired objects imme-diately. Mr. McAnnelly flashed his, next. After the warden looked at it, he exclaimed, "Why, you can't hunt on this!" "Why not ?" asked Mr. Mc Annelly; "this is a 1939 license." "You can't hunt on a fishing license," said the warden. Fumb-ling in his pockets, the embarrassed professor at last found the proper license. All this time Professor Culp, who was in the back seat, was busy emptying his pockets, frantically searching for the important paper he so greatly needed. This profes-sor tried to tell the game warden that he had attended Sunday school in the morning and had left his papers in the pockets of his other trousers. He explained, "I am a professor at Northern. I do possess a license, which I secured in Han-son county, which I will produce in the morning." Whereupon the warden wanted to know why he se-cured the papers in Hanson county instead of Bown county. More ex-planations were necessary to get him out of this situation. But at last the warden, convinced and satisfied, waved them on their way. Next time they'll be more care- • • Northern Alumnus Busy At Cornell For those who think they have too much to do, here's a real sample of really being busy. Bruce Tiffany, Aberdeen, is a senior at Cornell university this year and manager and chef of the dining association of Llenroc Lodge, a Rochdale co-operative men's residence. Thirty-five hours is the average working time of this honor student. Besides training and working with twenty-two students who earn either board or room serving three hundred meals a day, Bruce was in charge of concessions for feeding six thousand for Junior week and running two lunch rooms during Farm and Home week. Dr. Edward A. Ott, educator, is adviser for the boys at Llenroc. One hundred and fifty boys call this club, home, and there is always a waiting list because they've got such a good chef. P. J. Harkness, director of speech, would like to have all debators meet in S-204 on Mon-day, October 30, at 7:30. This is for all persons inter-ested in debate. All who plan to take debate next quarter must be at this meeting. Mr. Harkness also announces the two big plays to be given by the college year. They are "Wuthering eights" and "What a Life." Murphy Lectures On European Struggle The present European situation has caused Professor John Murphy, Northern's highly informed social science instructor, to be much in demand. Friday afternoon he spoke at S. D. E. A. social science panel on the "Misdirected Sentimentalism over the Versailles Treaty as a Cause of the Present European war." He tried to show how misdirected sympathy after the World War enabled Germany to disregard the Versailles treaty and to threaten the world's peace today. "When this war is over and peace is made," Mr. Murphy stated, "people should be more realistic and see that the terms of the treaty are carried out." Sunday night he spoke at the Methodist Episcopal church on the "Dangers of Uncontrolled Emotion-alisms in International Relations." He again tried to show how people took sides and obscured the real principles on which international relations have to be based. Jensen Returns From National Science Meet In Chicago J. H. Jensen, head of the depart-ment of physical and general science, recently attended the meet-ing of the National Committee on Science teaching, sponsored by the National Education association. All sessions were held at the Stevens hotel, Chicago, Illinois. This com-mittee is attempting to work out a fourteen point science teaching program. Each of the various national science organizations, twelve in number, is cooperating in this pro-ject, and each had a representative at the meeting. This includes such Northern's instructors, students, and alumni held the spotlight in the northeastern district meet of the S. D. E. A. conducted in Aber-deen, October 19 to 21. President N. E. Steele opened the convention with an address of wel-come. In the second general ses-sion, Leopold Rutter led his high school orchestra in a concert. The Northern State Teachers' college orchestra gave a concert before the fourth general session. Marc Cleworth was secretary of this district S. D. E. A. Dr. Wills spoke on classical languages before the classical and foreign languages club. V. H. Culp was secretary of Rural Education. Dr. N. E. Steele addressed the Rural Education group on "What Can We Do to Improve Schools ?" J. H. Jensen was president of Phy-sical Sciences and Mathematics. Keo King spoke on "Newer Trends In Reading" before the Interme-diate Grade Teachers. Professor John Murphy lectured on the Euro-pean situation before the history teachers. H. P. Gerber spoke be-fore the Industrial Arts group on the subject "Industrial Arts." Margaret Briscoe lectured on "What's Wrong With Penmanship", before the Grammar Grade Teach-ers. Harley Robertson was presi-dent of Physical Education and Athletics. Miss Ruth Allen was chairman of the women's group. Professor Lipscomb's major bio-logy students gave a lengthy de-monstration on "Uses of Camera and Projector Equipment in Study of Plants and Animals." Mary Alice Lipscomb sang a solo before the Physical Education department. Miss Grace McArthur directed a Continued on page 4. Northern Students Set New Record In Stowing Away Chow For the first time in many years the college dining hall under George Ericksen, head chef, is filled to capacity. The student waitresses are really getting a work out. This is one of the best years that they have ever had. This year, more than any other year, the students are putting away more food. They are eating three times as much per person. The baker is working over time trying to keep up the bread supply. He makes from eighty to one-hundred ten loaves per day. The amounts of meat and potatoes is inestimable. Clubs and groups on the campus have been having banquets and feeds every day. This shows that everything on the campus is in full swing. The coffee shop and cafe-teria have handled this very nicely. Those students who live in Aber-deen and wish to eat at the hall may report to the head waitress when the bell rings at twelve. In the past a great number of stu-dents have taken advantage of this. According to George, "It is great to see all the students from differ-ent towns getting all they can to eat in the shortest time possible." In closing his interview he stated, "I am glad to see you all, and the most of the best for the least." Gerber Alters Course In Metal Working The Industrial arts department features changes this year that make the course even more inter-esting than formerly, according to H. P. Gerber, head of the de-partment. The metal working department is housed in three rooms: the mach-ine shop, general metal shop, and foundry. The foundry has been moved from one corner of the general metal room to the back room of the building. This depart-ment was formerly cramped for space. With this change it can carry on its work much mbre easily. To many, the work of a foundry is meaningless. This department makes all manner of aluminum castings for machine purposes. In the first place, a plan of the part has to be drawn. Then a pattern is made from wood, both by ma-chine and by hand. This pattern has to be perfect in every detail, as the castings will be an exact duplicate of it. Moulding sand is then treated with water to just the right con-sistency so that when it is packed it will retain the same shape with-out any outside support. The wooden pattern is withdrawn from the mould, leaving an opening in exact duplicate of the pattern. At this time the aluminum is heated in a special furnace to a heat of 1500°F. When it has cooled to the proper heat necessary, usually about 1300°F. as found by the use of a portable pyrometer, it is poured in the mould. When the metal has set a sufficiently long time, the mould is broken up, re-vealing a metal casting exactly like the wooden pattern. These castings are then finished by machines to a perfect fit. The department uses most of its cast-ings for machines of its own design and use. Northern Auditorium Dons Finishing Touches The college auditorium which was damaged by the fire last spring will be reopened in about two weeks, according to Theodore Rozendal, superintendent of build-ings and grounds. Paul Borgeson, the decorator, is putting on the finishing buff touches, and Fred Nordling, the carpenter, has about completed work on the stage. All that remains is the electrical wiring. ful!
