The Exponent Vol. XXXVIII, No. 8 Northern State Teachers College, Aberdeen, South Dakota November 17, 1939 Son Of Northern's Pres. Emeritus Is Awarded Nobel Physics Prize South Dakota Collegiate Press To Meet On Northern Campus Today Dr. Ernest Orlando Lawrence of Berkeley, California, son of Dr. and Mrs. C. G. Lawrence, has been awarded the 1939 Nobel prize for physics, as was announced Novem-ber 9, by the Royal Academy of Sciences at Stockholm, Sweden. The award was made to Dr. Law-rence for the invention and de-velopment of the cyclotron-and-atom smasher which is being used in research as possible cures for cancer and leukemia. The cyclotron, using high volt-ages to break up atoms formerly regarded as indestructible, is a huge electro-magnet arranged so that atomic particles whirl around in it until they attain speeds of thousands of miles an hour. The speeding particles are drawn off and used to bombard chemical ele-ments. Prof. Lawrence, son of Dr. Law-rence, former president of NSTC, has been a member of the Univer-sity of California faculty since 1928. In 1937 he was awarded the Comstock prize of the National Academy of Science, the highest scientific honor of its kind in this country. Scanning The Front Page by Mervin Reisenweber Germany does not care for peace just yet according to Foreign Minister Joachim Von Ribbentrop who informed the Belgium and Netherlands envoys that Germany wants nothing to do with the joint mediation offered from the lowland nations. His reply was based on answers already received from Great Britain and France which make peace impossible at this time. From authorities, it is also hinted, Germany will stress a stern-er sea warfare aimed mainly at Great Britain. Russia may be playing an im-portant part in the present Euro-pean war in its "dreams of world revolution" according to Rev. Dr. Edmund A. Walsh, S. J., regent of Georgetown University's foreign service school, in a recent speech. He links the sinking of the Athenia and the bombing plot on Hitler's life together with Russia. He pre-dicts that if Germany were de-feated the Russian troops would march in and protect the laboring class and then England and France would be confronted with commun-ism. Pope Pius XII appealed for Continued on page 4 Quadruplet Tag Day Proclaimed Success The Schense Quadruplet Tag day proclaimed by Governor Bushfield was well-supported Tuesday, Nov-ember 7. Superintendent C. J. Dalthorp, chairman of the funds-raising com-mittee, sent out 75,000 tags to county and city superintendents over the state. All funds raised are deposited in the Aberdeen Na-tional bank and are subject to with-drawal by order of the central com-mittee only. The purpose of the tag day is to promote the education of the Schense quadruplets of Aberdeen. The success of this tag day will give the eight-year-olds, James, Jay, Joan, and Jean, a chance to be a credit to South Dakota. M. M. Guhin, founder of the Young Citizens League, is general chairman. NOTICE All persons who expect to finish a two or four year curri-culum are asked to report at the registrar's office immedi-ately in order to make applica-tion for graduation if they have not already done so. Dr. Ernest 0. Lawrence O • Band and Speeches Feature Armistice Day Observance The Armistice Day assembly was featured by the appearance of Northern's recently received shiny new instruments. The band played several lively numbers among them the march, "National Emblem." Legionnaire Roe Granger dis-cussed the principle of one hundred percent Americanism and neutra-lity of the American Legion and told that his college days twenty-one years ago ended in a call to the colors. Faythe Mantel, sophomore, and Joe Kelly, senior, discussed topics related to Education week. Miss Mantel discussed education in rela-tion to democracies and dictator-ships; Mr. Kelly presented the problem of the "Aristocrats of Education" and "what we should do about them and about the voca-tional students."

Under the direction of John Lukken and Miss Grace McArthur, the choruses will present several selections. The men's Chorus will sing "Hear Dem Darkies Sing," by Arnold. The women's octet, under the direction of Miss McArthur will sing the "Snow Storm," by Rogers. The combined mixed chorus under Continued on page 4 Northern Students Comment On Dance There's something about that walk leading northwest from Spaf-ford. Coming out the door, one thinks Jay street would be nice to walk home on just for a change; to start for Jay street means to stop at the store. As there is something about the walk that drags one to this little grocery shop, there is also something about the little shop—it may be the un-der- current constantly present, or it may be the over-tones. Some of these over-tones prove interesting; witness the answers that Northern brains produced when a general question was thrown out. The ques-tion: "What did you think of the dance Friday night ?" The answers: Margaret Conway—"They should have had it in the auditorium." Barbara Gallett—"The feeblest rat-race of the year." John Allgiers—"Kept in time by yawning." Grace Omland—"Swell! I got my money back." Keith Woitte—"What dance?" Mary Whiteside—"Shux, I missed it." Eileen Dempsey—"Close the cen-sored and the censored and the dance would have been swell." How mail was carried across the lines during the Civil War will be dramatically portrayed by North-ern students at 8:15 Tuesday even-ing over KABR, under the direction of Bill Nicholas. The fllowing students have been chosen to take part in the skit: Miriam Smith, Don Storeim, Gloyd Smith, Norman Nordby, Charles Jones, Henry Wiepking, Harold Ellery, and Ferdinand Goetz.

Town Girls To Hold Fall Dance In Armory Saturday Tomorrow night will climax the week's social activities for North-ern students when the Town Girls' organization holds its semi-annual formal dance at the Armory. Misses Lucille Kirk, Jennie Walker, and Pauline Hohler are in charge of arrangements. Bill Klitz and his orchestra have been engaged to play for the dance, it was announced. Chaperons will be Dr. Mary Wills, Dr. Katherine McLennan, Miss Stella Yates, and their guests. The dance is held for all North-ern girls who live or stay in town (off the campus) and their guests. Customarily two formal dances are held each year—one in the fall and one in the spring. More than a half-century after the last wild buffalo roamed his native plain, a half-century after South Dakota shed its terri-torial govern-ment and don-ned the garb of statehood, N. S. T. C. stu-dents feasted on roasted buffalo at the Lincoln dining hall.

Lloyd O'Conner, secretary-treasurer of the associa-tion, is in charge of the conven-tion plans. High-lighting this twenty-fourth annual convention, H. C. Anderson, editor and publisher of the North-west Journal, will speak on the topic, "War Propaganda." Mr. Anderson was the former editor and publisher of the American News and was pioneer editor of the Industrial Collegian of State col-lege. He also worked on Aber-deen's first daily newspaper. P. J. Harkness, of the language and literature department at Northern, is also scheduled to speak at the banquet. His topic will be "Publishing the College in Rural Towns." Toastmaster at the banquet, which will be held in the college cafeteria, will be Joe Robbie, a former student of Northern and now of the University of South Dakota. Talented college students will entertain the group. This convention follows out the trend of past conventions in that it features discussions on news-paper work under the supervision of student leaders. News, features, advertizing, and related .phases of newspaper work will be discussed. Northern's representative is Lane Thomas, Watertown student, who will address one group on the merits of advertizing. Round table discussions will be held on Saturday. Yearbook edi-tors, newspaper editors, and busi-ness managers are to be divided into groups of their own. The final business session of the convention will be held at eleven o'clock. Officers for the coming year will be elected, and the host school for next year will be se-lected. Red Cross Instructor To Teach Life Saving R. A. Jakoubek, Red Cross ex-aminer, will finish conducting a course in life saving instruction for those interested. Part of the water safety course was given at North-ern's pool and part at the Y. M. C. A. pool November 14 and 16. More classes will be held November 21 and 23. A preparatory course was given before November 13 for the pur-pose of familiarizing all candidates for the water safety instructor course with the technique involved in the new swimming and life saving program. Leila Schmidt, physical educa-tion instructor, assisted with in-struction for girls. A water safety instructor takes the place of the former Red Cross examiner, and senior life savers who have reached the age of twenty are eligible. Music Department Presents Broadcasts For the remainder of the school year the music depart-ment of Northern State Teach-ers college, under the direction of Merritt Johnson, instruc-tor of piano, will sponsor a series of musical programs to be broadcast each Thursday even-ing from 7:15 to 7:45 over KABR.
