Squad To Enter
Speech Tourneys
Northern's speech department,
under the direction of Professor
William Dodge, is preparing for
two tournaments in the near fu-ture.
The first of the two will be held
at Huron College on Tuesday, Jan-uary
11. Because this is intended
as only a practice tournament, Pro-fessor
Dodge has announced that
the entire forensic squad will par-ticipate.
The Sioux Falls College invita-tional
meet will be held on Janu-ary
21 and 22 at Sioux Falls Col-lege.
Those participating in the
oratory division from Northern
will be Chris Hauge and Charles
Peterson. Included among extem-poraneous
speaking entrants will
be Richard Young, Clair O'Hara,
Chris Hauge, and Larry Krein.
Debate participants will include
Charles Peterson, Chris Hauge,
Clair O'Hara, Jim Morris, Larry
Krein, Richard Young, Sheila
Paetznick, and Elinor Elsing. Nor-thern
will be represented in the
discussion division by everyone on
the squad but Charles Peterson.
Dining Hall Begins
Two Line Service
With the beginning of the new
year came several changes in the
college dining room. Perhaps the
most noticed and appreciated is the
two-line system which greatly
shortens the waiting in line for
both the noon and the evening
meals. With the additional help
employed by Chef George Erick-sen,
the two lines are used when
the greatest number of students
come to meals, such as immediat-ely
following the last class period
before noon.
Another service begun for those
without first period classes is the
extension of breakfast serving
time for an additional half hour
making the closing time 8:30.
Housemother Is
Injured In Fall
Mrs. Ruth Bruins, Graham Hall
housemother, is in St. Luke's Hos-pital
with injuries received in a
fall the Friday morning Christmas
vacation began. She possibly will
be in the hospital about two
months. In her absence, Mrs. Mar-garet
Smith is acting as house-mother
in Graham.
Also injured in a fall recently
was Mrs. P. J. Harkness who suf-fered
a torn ligament and other
injuries to her leg that had been
previously injured in an automobile
accident. Mr. Harkness, speech in-structor
at NSTC, and his wife,
are spending the winter in Tucson,
Arizona.
"What's Your R. Q.?" Is Religion Theme
President Lovinger recently told
some of the details concerning the
proposed new library and class-room
buliding for Northern men-tioned
in the state budget last
week. The budget recommended
to the Legislature at Pierre by
Gov. Joe Foss included $400,000
for the new building.
Specifications describing the pro-posed
building were prepared by
architect Clarence Herges. The
main part would be 82 by 90 feet
and consist of the basement and
two floors. The laboratory school
library would be an annex to the
main building, 25x45 feet and also
have two floors and a basement.
It would be located at the north-east
intersection of 14th Ave. and
S. Washington St.
The audio-visual laboratory, lo-cated
at the present time in the
basement of Central Building,
would be housed in the basement
of the proposed library building,
Dr. Lovinger said. The second
floor would be divided into several
classrooms and would be used as
such until the growth of the col-lege
makes it necessary to use this
space for the library also.
At the present time the library,
is located in the east wing of Cen-tral.
The floors are now holding
as much weight as is permitted,
thus making it necessary to house
about 10,000 volumes in the base-ment.
The space in Central would
be reconverted to needed class-rooms
when the new library build-ing
is completed.
The new library would face the
northeast and look toward the cam-pus
court. A street entrance is
planned on 14th Ave., opening to
the Seymour and Lindberg resi-dence
halls.
The last classroom building con-structed
on Northern's campus was
Spafford Hall in 1927. Two dorm-itories,
Seymour Hall and Lind-berg
Hall, have been constructed
on the campus since that time.
Notice
There will be a record dance fol-lowing
the basketball game with
Sioux Falls College, Saturday,
January 22 sponsored by WAA.
The cost of tickets is 15 cents a
person or 25 cents a couple.
To Visit Northern
Lieutenant (junior grade) R. S.
Dodge, procurement officer of the
Office of Naval Officer Procure-ment,
Minneapolis, announced that
college seniors are eligible to ap-ply
for the Navy's officer candi-date
school. A Navy representa-tive
will visit the NSTC campus
February 7 to. discuss the qualifi-cations
and details of the Navy's
officer programs. Plans are being
made to administer the Navy's
officer qualification test to inter-ested
seniors while on campus.
Applications will be accepted
from college seniors who are with-in
six months of graduation and
receipt of their bachelor's degree.
Officer candidate quotas for fiscal
year 1956 indicate officer candi-date
applicants stand a much
greater chance of being selected
than the past year. By applying
early, applications will be processed
while seniors are still educationally
deferred from selective service.
