The Exponent Vol. 42, No. 57 Northern State Teachers College, Aberdeen, South Dakota December 9, 1943 To Direct Activities For School Year To Promote School Spirit Is Aim Of - Student Council 1942-43 Class Officers Elected By Student Body Pre-Cadet Nurses To Train On Northern's Campus NSTC will assist in the instruc-tion of 100 pre-cadet nurses who as members of the U. S. Cadet Nurse corps, are beginning train-ing this week at the Presentation School of Nursing at St. Luke's hospital in Aberdeen. Sponsored by the U. S. Public Health service, the Cadet Nurse corps has been established to fill the demand for nurses which auto-matically arises during war-time. For the first three months of the nine-month pre-cadet period, stu-dents take pre-clinical studies, in-cluding chemistry, microbiology, anatomy and physiology. Students at the Presentation school will be given these courses at Northern under the supervision of J. H. Jen-sen, chairman of the division of Science and Mathematics and the following will act as instructors: Miss Clara Roberts, Faulkton, who has an MA from Columbia uni-versity; Miss Irene Penney, St. Louis, who has a BA from the University of St. Louis; and Sister Jane Frances, a graduate of St. Benedict's college, St. Joseph, Minn. New laboratory equipment has been purchased by the college, in-cluding five new microscopes, and an additional laboratory has been set up for courses in micro-biology and chemistry. Following their pre-clinical train-ing, students take clinical training at one of four hospitals, St. Luke's McKennan hospital, Sioux Falls, St. Joseph's hospital, Mitchell, or Holy Rosary hospital, Miles City, Mon-tana. Upon completion of 36 months of training, the senior ca-det nurse is eligible to fill nursing positions in the army, or navy, in civilian hospitals, in public health, in private duty, in occupational therapy, as a visiting nurse or as an airline stewardess. While attending nursing school, the cadet nurse receives, in addi-tion to her training, complete pay-ment of tuition and fees, official cadet uniforms for optional out-door wear, school uniforms, room and board and a monthly allow-ance. In this fourth group of nurses who have taken classes on North-ern's campus, eleven are register-ed from Montana, one from New York, six from North Dakota, one from Wisconsin, two from Minne-sota, two from Iowa and two from Idaho. The other girls making up the quota of 100 are from South Dakota. Indian Exhibit At Graham Hall College girls living in Graham hall are sponsoring an exhibit of Indian crafts and handiwork, in the hall of the administration building, each afternoon beginning December2 and continuing toDec-ember 11. The exhibit is composed of ob-jects made by different tribes of Indians and includes an Indian drum, scarfs, belts, pottery, woolen baby blankets, beaded lapel pins, bracelets, buttons and rings. Silver articles from the New Mexican pueblos as well as the Zia pottery buttons are on display. Some of the things on display have been sent by Indians on the South Dak-ota Pine Ridge reservation. The faculty and students of Northern wish to express (heir sincerest sympathy to Prof. E. K. Baillie in his recent be-reavement. Northern Enjoys Arrau Concert By Grace McArthur NSTC students enjoyed a rare treat in the concert given by Claudio Arrau, world famous pian-ist, Thursday evening in the Civic theater. Mr. Arrau has been com-pared with Paderewski in the sheer beauty of tone and the perfect command he has over every re-source of the piano. While as-tounding his audience with the command of technical resources it was the poetic quality in his playing which will remain in the hearers memories. Opening with the "Andante con Variazioni" by Haydn, meticulously performed, Mr. Arrau then played the powerful and masterful twenty-five Variations and Fugue on a Theme of Handel by Brahms. These variations are seldom play-ed except by first magnitude art-ists because they are so taxing both in their artistic profundity and the sheer technical problems they present. While they are "above" the average audience member, they are a great delight to the pianists among his listen-ers. The second half of the program consisted in two groups of numbers of a lighter nature. The Chopin "Ballade in A flat" is often played, but never as Mr. Arrau played it. The two Liszt numbers "Fountain of the Villa d' Este" and the "Etude in F minor" were such brilliant show pieces that few pianists attempt them, yet they were beautifully poetic works if the listeners could give attention to the poetry and not be too as-tounded at the task of the per-formance. The Granados "Lover and the Nightingale", Ravel's, "Fountain" and the Debussy "Fireworks" clos-ed an exciting program. STUDENTS APPEAR IN RECITAL DECEMBER 8 A recital of students from the classes of Gottfried Sjoland, Mr. and Mrs. Merritt Johnson and Miss Grace McArthur was held in the Music studios of Spafford hall Wednesday evening at 8:15 p. m. The following students appeared on the program: Eileen Loe, Helen Jones, Cecelia Johansen, Cynthia Burke, Annette Hagen, Leonard Palmquist, Muriel Strike, Arlys Krueger and Carol Magnus. Miss McArthur directed the Wo-men's vocal ensemble in several numbers. Air-Wac Recruiters Speak To Coeds Air-WAC recruiters from the Aberdeen recruiting office spoke to Northern coeds during regular as-sembly period December 2 in the Graham Hall lounge. Captain Frank R. Greene of Buckley Field, Colorado, who is in charge of the Air-Wac drive here, stated the requirements girls must meet before they are sworn into the Women's Army. He stressed the importance of women entering the service so that men may go into actual combat. According to Capt. Greene, the WACs have re-ceived the highest of praise from all sources, including President Roosevelt and General George Marshall, Chief-of-Staff. "As this is the first time women have been allowed to, join forces with the men during war, every girl who is able should do not only her bit, but her best, by joining the women's forces," Capt. Greene concluded. T/Sgt. Mary L. Schomer from Omaha headquarters told the girls of her basic training at Des Moines, Iowa, explaining that, at present, there are also training centers at Fort Oglethorpe, Ga., and Daytona Beach, Fla. After five weeks girls may apply for Of-ficer's Candidate school, and, if they meet requirements, take ad-ditional training. Wacs may ap-ply for overseas duty if they wish, but this is not compulsory. Sgt. John Carter of Mitchell Field, New York, who has served overseas, spoke of the need for as-sistance by our service men on for-eign duty. PIE SOCIAL SATURDAY Right out of your grand-mother's day comes the idea for Saturday night's entertainment —a pie social. Dancing is to start at 8:00 o'clock in Spafford gymnasium, ping-pong serving as an alternative to dancing. At 10:00 o'clock the pies, which each girl must bring to be ad-mitted to the dance, are to be auctioned off, the boy eating with the girl whose pie he buys. Coffee is also to be served. Officers elected for the various classes this year include the fol-lowing people: Seniors: President: Jeanne Gunderson Vice President: Phyllis Culp Sec. Treas.: Carol Anderson Juniors: President: Carol Magnus Vice President: Eleanor Lamb Sec. Treas.: Jean Kaufman Sophomores: President: Lorraine Walker Vice President: Blanche Lucas Sec. Treas.: Ruth Knudson Freshman: President: George Leighton Vice President: Kathleen Warner Sec. Treas.: Beverly Eakins Christmas Program To Be Given Dec. 21 Portrayal of the Christmas story through living pictures is the theme of this year's Christmas program to be given December 21 at 6:45 p. m. Appropriate scrip-tural readings will tell the story of each setting. Christmas carols sung by the A Cappella Choir, com-posed of Northern's students and AST cadets under the direction of Harvey Moen, and the two women's chorus' directed by Miss McArthur and Harvey Moen, will complete the Yuletide atmosphere. The dra-matic production class, working with E. Kenneth Baillie, has charge of the arrangements and settings for the living picture. REGISTRATION PLANS MADE FOR WINTER QUARTER Regular classes for the winter term will begin Saturday morning, December 18 and close for the Christmas vacation on December 23 to re-convene on Jan. 10. All students now on the campus and new students will register for the second quarter from December 13 through December 17. Enroll-ments must be completed before 5 p. m., December 17, or a late reg-istration fee will be charged. Fees may be paid without penalty through December 21. The class program to be follow-ed Saturday, December 18, will be a Friday program plus such four-hour classes as are not ordinarily scheduled for Friday. Promoting interest in school ac-tivities was used as a theme for the general student assembly giv-en by the student council this morning in the auditorium. To carry out this theme a skit was given portraying life at Northern as it is today in comparison with that of twenty years ago and twenty years in the future. The fact that school spirit during war time is often almost completely extinguished on many college cam-puses was emphasized and sugges-tions for solutions to this problem were brought forth in the course of the skit. Music and dancing were also features of the assembly. Those taking part were Evelyn Amsden, Kay Kaercher, Carol An-derson, Geraldine Goodsell, Eve-lyn Reisenweber, Chloe Beebe, Jean Gray, Barbara Baldridge, Joy. Dehnert, Alice Silvers, Ruth Knud-son, and Doris Behnke. The student council, governing body on the campus, has elected the following officers for 1943-44: President, Isabelle Shannon; Vice-president, Jane Adams; and sec-retary- treasurer, May Rock. Miss Shannon is the first girl to be pres-ident of this organization at North-ern. Working with the officers is a representative from each of the classes. Representing the senior class is Marjorie Stapf, the junior class, Shirley Mae Barnes, the sophomore class, Doris Behnke, and the freshman class, Kay Van Dover. W. S. G. A. representatives on the student council are Ruth Jensen and June Throckmorton. Dean C. E. Booth is faculty adviser of this organization. At a recent meeting of represen-tatives and officers, objectives were set up for the year's program. These include: to stimulate school spirit, to publish an annual and to create enthusiasm through student assemblies to be held every two weeks. A publicity committee composed of Helen Blando, Jean Lowe, and Phil Gerber was organ-ized. Phyllis Culp was appointed chairman for the World Student Service Fund drive which will be held in February. Music Groups Give Second Concert By Grace McArthur An excellent concert was given by the a capella choir, string quar-tet, and college orchestra Sunday evening in the college auditorium. Under the direction of Harvey S. Moen, these organizations were augmented by AST cadets and by several Aberdeen musicians. The outstanding number given by the a cappella choir was the "Adora-mus te" by Palestrina. Geraldine Goodsell was the soprano soloist in the Christiansen number, "Aut-urn's Art". The final selection of the choir was accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Merritt Johnson. The string quartet consisting of Cadet Davenport, Cadet Cohen, Joy Dehnert and Beverly Eakins gave a beautiful performance of the "Emperor Variations" by Haydn and a clever transcription of the "Arkansas Traveler." Hayden's "Surprise Symphony" by the college orchestra, opened the second half of the prograin and was given a careful and adequate performance, creditable to any col-lege group. Novel and beautiful yas the Ole Bull, "Shepherd Girl's Sunday". The "Raymond Over-ture" by Thomas was the outstand-ing number. Throughout the pro-gram the audience was enthusias-tic in applause.
