interested should contact William
Chaloner, band director, in DH-101

classes are usually smaller.
There are fewer distractions which
mean more time for study. Conse-quently,
summer school students also
generally show a better scholastic
performance.

be made this year at College Days by
Northern's representatives Dr. Lloyd
F. Johnson, director of special ser-vices;
Harold Widvey, assistant direc-tor
of special services; and Frank
Gellerman, director of extension and

the organization is to create a national
basis of recognition for college stu-dents

the total enrollment of the college.
Northern's maximum is 28.

English society, is sponsoring a state-wide
contest for high school students.
The contest includes three divisions
of personal essay, short story and
poetry. Each student is encouraged
to choose the subject and its length

desires. The manuscripts will then
be evaluated by members of the fra-ternity

critical comments to the students.
Awards will be presented to first
and second place winners in each
division. A Northern State Teachers
College scholarship of one hundred
dollars and one of fifty dollars will
be given. Should a recipient be the
winner of another Northern scholar-ship,

SDIC Investigates
Taylor's Eligibility;
Will Play Saturday
By Rita Raines
Northern's officials have provided
the South Dakota Intercollegiate Con-ference
eligibility committee with a
complete file of information to help
that group establish the eligibility
status of all-conference tackle Bob
Taylor.
While no decision in the case had
been announced as of Exponent press
time, the weight of evidence seems
to indicate Taylor will be declared
eligible. Coach Clark Swisher stated
that the big lineman will play against
Kearney State, Saturday night.
On the tenious evidence of a con-troversial
Big Eight Conference record
of 1958, Dakota Wesleyan University
has questioned the right of the Faulk-ton
athlete to participate in football
during the 1963 season. Gordon Fos-ness,
director of athletics at Wesleyan,
on behalf of his institution, has filed a
formal protest against Northern and
has petitioned the SDIC to investi-gate
Taylor's eligibility.
Included in the information pro-vided
by Northern is a letter written
by Taylor to his mother following the
1958 grid season. The letter speaks of
the athlete's disappointment at not
having a chance to play in the Ne-braska-
Kansas State freshman game,
the contest which forms the basis for
the DWU petition.
Any decision of the SDIC eligibility
committee may be submitted to the
member institution of the conference
and is subject to review by the Nation-al
Association of Intercollegiate Ath-letics.
Delta Contest
Each entry must be accompanied
by a sheet containing the student's
name, division entered, student's ad-dress,
student's year in high school,
the name of the high school and its
address, the signature of the teacher
and the signature of the student.
In the poetry division, any type of
poetry. may be entered on any sub-ject.
The length is left to the discre-tion
of the student. The same rules
will apply in the short story division.
Entries to the essay division will
be limited to personal (informal) es-says.
Again, length will be left to the
discretion of the writer. Each manu-script
must be typewritten, double-spaced
and follow good typing rules.
Two copies must be submitted; an
original and a carbon will be suffi-cient.
Any additional information per-taining
to the contest or entries should
be addressed to Dr. G. 0. Kelley,
chairman of the division of language
and literature.
