Northern to Admit
High School Seniors
Office of the Dean at Northern
State Teachers college has an-nounced
that Northern is arrang-ing
special classes to accomodate
such high school seniors as may
qualify for admission under the re-recent
ruling by the Board of Re-gents
admitting high school stu-dents
of senior rank to state sup-ported
colleges.
The spring term at Northern
regularly begins Monday, March
15, which is the most favorable
time to enter, but by special ar-rangement
it will be possible for
students to start not later than
February 1 and complete eight
hours of work during the second
half of the winter term. Because
the state law specifically requires
four years of high school prepara-tory
to taking a teachers curricu-lum
it is not possible to receive stu-dents
who are not high school
graduates into education curricula,
but they may enter all general col-lege
and preparatory courses in
law, nursing, dentistry, as well as
regular engineering courses and
courses in commerce and business
administration.
The regulation of the North Cen-tral
Assocation definitely specifies
that students who are not high
school graduates must be recom-mended
by their Principals and be
of superior calliber. In accordance
with this regulation, only those
students will be admitted to North-ern
who are in the upper 50% of
their high school class.
It was further stated that should
any action be taken by the present
legislature making it possible to
admit high school seniors to the
education curricula such students
would be immediately received by
Northern.
Laubins Entertain
Reginal and Gladys Laubin with
a program of Indian dances, music,
and folk lore, will appear on the
regular entertainment course Feb.
9.
Both entertainers have been
adopted into the Indian tribes. Mr.
Laubin is the adopted son of Chief
One Bull and Gladys Laubin's name
is Good Feather. Each summer
these people spend time with dif-ferent
tribes and bring a wealth
of Indian lore in their program.
Heart Sister Week

By YWCA Leaders
At a meeting of the Y. W. C. A.,

aims and goals of their chapter and
decided on the following purposes
as being suitable and necessary on
this campus:
The building up of cooperation
among denominational groups on
the campus by having a chapel
meeting once each month for all
students; the cooperating with ser-vice
enterprises which would in-clude,
being leaders of Hi-Tri,
writing to Japanese-American stu-dents
in Re-Location camps, mak-ing
scrap books for U.S.O. and
Jap.-Am. students; helping in Red
Cross and First Aid work; making

WATCH FOR THE COLLEGI-ATE
REVIEW OF 1943.
Books For Soldiers
Northern students and faculty
members will be afforded an oppor-tunity
to take part in the victory
book drive, to be sponsored in Ab-erdeen
Feb. 5 to March 5, accord-ing
to an announcement by Roder-ick
Ross, a member of the city
committee planning the drive.
There will be three receiving sta-tions
on the campus, located in the
college library, the Administration
building, and the book store.
Students and faculty are asked
to join the public in sharing books
with soldiers, sailors, and marines.
The Aberdeen committee has adop-ted
the slogan, "Give books you
would want to read yourself."
Books found to be most in de-mand
among the fighting men are
current best sellers and the more
recent (1930 to date) popular fic-tion
and non-fiction; adventure
stories and western, detective and
mystery yarns; technical books
published since 1935 and humorous
books.
Zell And His Furs
J. A. Zell appears on the campus
today with a fur exhibit and no
furs for sale.
This lecture and exhibit of skins
from all over the world is one of
talent offerings sponsored by the
University of Minnesota, Extension
Division. Mr. Zell has a background
of almost thirty years as fur sales-man,
writer, and advocate of more
ethical merchandising. His contri-butions
to the fur industry along
the line of research in consumer
aids have been of material help to
American women and girls in the
judicious and intellgent selection
of their furs.
His large collection of furs in-clude
the rare and costly kinds as
well as the more common types in
all their manipulations and imita-tions.
Aside from the fact that furs
are so much of a mystery in their
alluring appeal to most people, Mr.
Zell's talk has a high economic
value for any group that hears him.

Attention Reserves
In answer to the question, when will reserves be called, we print
the following communication from Colonel Raymond Briggs—
Headquarters Seventh Service Command:
Paragraph g (7) of the Army Specialized Training Program
States:
"All other Enlisted Reserve Corps students will be called to ac-tive
duty at the end of the current semester, or substantially cor-responding
academic period, and upon completion of basic training,
will be eligible for selection for training under this program or for
other military duty."
The interpretation of paragraph g (7) of the Army plan is as
follows:
"By January 1, 1943, the War Department will have completed
its preparations to call to active duty Enlisted Reserve Corps stu-dents
covered by section g (7) of the Army plan. These students
will thereafter begin to receive orders to report for active duty at
designated times and places. No orders will be given to report on a
date prior to two weeks after the completion of the student's first
academic quarter, term, or semester terminating after December
31, 1942."
Advice is for all reserves to remain in school until called.
