The Exponent Northern State Teachers College VOL. XXIV ABERDEEN, SOUTH DAKOTA, OCTOBER 27, 1925 No. 5 LET'S TAKE THE AWE OUT OF AUGUSTANA OUR GYPSIEST GYPSY DAY IS HERE DEBATE QUESTIONS FIXED AT YANKTON CONFERENCE MUCH LOCAL INTEREST SHOWN Men to Debate Child Labor Issue; Wo- men Discuss Uniform Marriage and Divorce Question Prof. A. R. Root of the speech de- partment attended, last week, the an- nual meeting of the State Intercol- legiate Forensic Association, at Yank- ton, at which many things of impor- tance concerning the forensic activi- ties for the coming year were decid- ed. The question for the men's debates will concern the child labor issue, which is also the question for Pi Kappa Delta debates; the women's debating question concerns uniform marriage and divorce laws. An innovation this year will be to have open forum-no decision de- bates. There will be no judges, the audience acting in that capacity; and the audience will also be permitted to ask questions concerning any phase of the question. This type of debat- ing has gained much popularity in the last few years, for although there is no incentive to win, the debaters are taught to organize their thought to convince the audience and not just three judges and in this way they are stimulated to put their ideas across in the best possible way. Besides the scheduled debates for the conference, there will, of course, be other debates. The women's team will debate the Teachers College at Moorhead, Minnesota, and probably one of the denominational schools in Minnesota, also. The debates on the way to Estes Park, where the Pi Kappa Delta debates are to be held, have not been scheduled yet. This year we shall have two repre- sentatives in inter-collegiate oratory -one for the regular state contest, the winner of which represents South Dakota in the inter-state contest; and one to take part in a peace oratorical contest, the winner of which competes in a national contest. The state priz- es for this last contest are $60.00 and $40.00. This is a separate contest from the regular state contest. The oration must be only fifteen minutes in length and war may not be pre- sented as an agency of peace. The annual Lincoln contest in ora- tory will be held here either the last week of school in December or early in the winter quarter. Otto Gruhn was the winner last year and is back at school again this year and will probably enter. The material this year, both for de- bate and oratory is excellent, and a more active interest has been shown in forensic work than at any prev- ious time. It is estimated that twice as many people will be out for the work this year than last year. Following is the debate schedule: Class A, men's debates: Augustana to Springfield; Springfield to Yank- ton; Yankton to Sioux Falls College; Sioux Falls to Brookings; Brookings to Aberdeen; Aberdeen to Dakota Wesleyan; Dakota Wesleyan to Colum- bus; Columbus to Mines; Mines to Hur- on; Huron to Madison; Madison to Au- gustana. Class 3, women's debates: Sioux Falls to Aberdeen; Aberdeen to Dakota Wesleyan; Dakota Wesleyan to Huron; Huron to Yankton; Yank- ton to Sioux Falls. ORDER OF MARCH Mr. Engmann Hafnor, Marshal of the Day, announces the following or der of march for the parade on Gypsy Day: The parade will leave the campus from the Kline street entrance, turn-ing at the gateway and going west on Twelfth avenue to Main street. It will then follow. Main street down to the Milwaukee depot where it will turn and come back on Main as far as Sixth avenue. It will then proceed East on Sixth avenue as far as Kline street, where it will again turn South and return to the campus. HAMBURGER STAND Don't forget that the French and Spanish Clubs will be serving on Gypsy Day from 10:30 A. M. to 2:30 P. M. Ice cream! Hamburger! Cof-fee! Come one-come all. The best of food, the best of service, and the best of satisfaction will be yours. The stand will be centrally located on the campus-you can't miss it. WANTED A grey steed like George Washington's for me to ride on Gypsy Day. Must be tall enough so my feet won't hang on the ground and tame enough so he won't spoil the parade. -P. Engmann Hafnor, Marshal. MISS JESSIE NICOL Gypsy Queen A REAL EXPERIMENT Prof. Malcolm to Experiment in Rural Education in'the Midst of Sage Brush Desert Many of the students and faculty members were pleased to see Prof. D. J. Malcolm on the campus this week. At the close of the first six weeks of summer school he left with his family via auto for British Col- umbia. Early this fall he returned to South Dakota for a series of insti- tutes, he is now on his way back to the Pacific coast once more. Mr. Malcolm is very much inter- ested in the work that awaits him when he arrives home. Cooperating with the State Agricultural College at Pullman, Washington, he is plan- ning to teach a rural school in the sage brush desert country 75 miles from Spokane. He has already vis- ited the school and declares that from the point of view of backwardness, nothing is probably worse in the Unit- ed States. The one redeeming feature is the fact that there is a teacherage so that he and his family will be fairly comfortably housed. The un- dertaking is an experiment and we shall expect to hear a real story from Mr. Malcolm, such as we know that only he can tell. He is of the opinion at the present time that our educa- tional system is expecting much more from our teachers in backward rural communities than we have a right to expect. These are some of the prob- lems he hopes to solve. Among other things he expects to publish a school paper; as he says "out of nothing." On the strength of this statement the Exponent immediately asked to be put on his exchange list. We shall await the first number of whatever name the paper may bear. Mr. Mal- colm's address will be, Benge, Wash- ington. STEWART-FARBMA N RECITAL The artists' recital by Wylie Stewart, tenor, and Harry Farbman, violinist, was given to a large and appreciative audience at the N. S. T. C. auditorium, Wednesday, OctoLer 21. The two artists captured the au-dience from the beginning, Faibnian by his unusual skill and Stewart with nis excellent voice. The program con-tainea many selections from "old and modern masters." A matinee was Oven at 3:30 which was attended largely by students and 'faculty mein-hers. At 8:30, the program was given foi down-town people and fir stu-dents and faculty members who pre-ferred to attend in the evening. This was the bpening number of the 1925- 26 Lecture course. DANCE AND GUEST PERMITS Visitors please notice! All alumni and former students must have spec-ial permits for either the gym dance or the E-2 party. These must be had at Miss Moulton's office both before and after the game. Students desiring to bring friends must also have guest permits, and for this one night as many as they wish. Everyone must decide befoile taking out the permit whether they wish to go to the party or the dance. There should be no visiting between the gym and E-2 at refreshment time. Those who do not have permits or do not wish to dance, but wish to watch may be admitted to the balcony at the gym. BALLOON SALE The Y. W. is pushing a splendid plan of combining school publicity with a means of making money. In cooperation with the other organiza-tions to help make the campus beauti-ful Gypsy Day they are selling toy balloons. These balloons are of the school colors, maroon and gold, and each one proudly bears the letters "N. S. T. C." A balloon will add greatly to your costume today so get yours and help advertise the college. THREE FORMER QUEENS HERE Game With Augustana Will Be Big Feature of Afternoon The morning of Saturday, October 24, will see the opening of the Great- est Gypsy Day in the history of the N. S. T. C. It is going to be a real Home-coming Day when former Gyp- sies will return to renew old acquain- tances and to make new ones. The crowning of the Queen of the tribe at nine o'clock in the auditorium is indeed a fitting and beautiful cere- mony which will mark the beginning of the festivities which will be con- tinued late into the night. The coro- nation this year will be elaborate and beautiful. The procession of the Queen and her twelve attendants led by a small girl will mark the opening of the solemn ceremony. The music which has been provided is the best that can be obtained. Catherine Burns will provide violin music-played softly off stage throughout the entire coronation ceremony. Carl Gruhn and Harriet Seymour will sing appropriate Gypsy solos. A chorus formed from the Men's Glee Club, under the sup- ervision of Miss Carson and a group of the Normalonians from last year's club, will provide the best in chorus music. A coronation ceremony, especially that of a Gypsy Queen, will lack sea- soning if there were not the Gypsy Folk Dance. The dancers include Eth- el Mattice, Nora Staael, Faith Bryan, Durward Westervelt, Stanley Stout, and Miss Taggert. In addition to the dances there will be a tumbling act by Junior High School students drill- ed by Miss Staael. But the climax of it all is the crown- ing of the Queen. Three former Queens will be present to take part in the ceremony: Miss Remde, 1916; Miss Evans, 1923; and Miss Corcoran, 1924. Last year's Queen, Miss Cor- coran, will crown the Queen of the 1925 Gypsy Tribe, Miss Jessie Nicol. This elaborate ceremony only marks the opening of the gala day. Imme- diately following the coronation, at eleven o'clock, there will be the mon- ster parade, which will be participated in by practically every club on the (Continued On Page Two) GYPSY -DAY PROGRAM 9:00 A.

So the early history of our annual Gypsy Day takes us back nine years to the fall of 1916. Of course, every idea must have a father. The idea of a Gypsy Day has been conceded to Charles Fleischman, a graduate of N. S. T. C. He should perhaps, be called the father of Gypsy Day and the pat-riarch of the tribe, since he was so largely responsible for its origin. Prior to 1916 N. S. T. C. had no special Homecoming Day, and stu-dents had to rely upon their own ;n-dividual initiative, if they wished to celebrate for their Alma Mater, by staying out late on Saturday night or committing some other of the "un-pardonable acts." Charles Fleishman, along with many other students, ob-served that other state institutions had home-coming days of some kind, in the fall of the year, when they would welcome back the alumni to join in the festivities of a gala day. The recotds of The Exponent for the early fall of 1916 show several ap- peals for such a day at N. S. T. C. Finally, there appeared an editorial entitled, "Why Not Gypsy Day?" Mr. Fleishman with several others exerted themselves in pushing the idea, until the shool finally inaugurated a Gyp- sy Day. November 14, 1916, was set aside for the great occasion and plans were laid in earnest. The first queen to be lected was Bernice Remde of Madfield, with C. O. Gottschalk as Marshal of the Day. The Exponent of the following week says: " Early Saturday morning gay- colored figures swarmed upon the campus. With dark braids done up in unique head dress, with bright skirts and gay sashes, the fair N. S. T. C. Gypsiettes gathered for the Carnival of the Romanies, while their dark fiercer-looking partners of the stern sex mingled with them, making dark patches in the gay throng!" (Continued On Page Two) P. ENGMANN HAFNOR Marshal of the Day DOPE ON THE GAME Today's Contest Will be Most Fierce- ly Fought of Any on Schedule The addition of two conference vic- tories to the Wolves' tally lends that touch of confidence which makes for a winning team. Since the Black Hills trip many of the kinks have been worked out, and when the Pack goes on the field it will be with that same snap and zest which has spelled vic- tory in the two previous encounters. The contest today will probably be the most fiercely fought as well as the most decisive game on the Wolves' schedule. The two teams are of equal conference standing, each having won two and lost no conference games. The fact of the ragged score chalked up when the two teams met last year is another burr in the Wolves' harn- ess that will lend those last few ounc- es of punch necessary to carry the ball across. Condition seems to favor the Pack, for at present, if anything points to- ward victory for either team, it is the injury of three veteran Augustana backs. The lack of a strong reserve force is evident in the Vikings' camp, and unless the dope is upset and the veteran line-up start the game, Augus- tana will undoubtedly be playing against odds.

M.-Y. W. CONFERENCE Harriet Seymour and Durward Wes-tervelt Attend Meet at Sioux Falls The student Y. M. and Y. W. pres-idents of South Dakota met last Mon-day in Sioux Falls. Durward Wester-velt and Harriet Seymour, presidents of the Y. M. and Y. W., attended this conference. The meetings were held in the Y. M. building. Hugo Thomp-son, State Student Secretary of Min-nesota, and Miss Gerlack, Y. W. Field Secretary of this district, were the principal speakers. They discussed the subjects of World-Friendship and World Peace, pointing out the neces-sity of the United States joining the World Court. Plans were made for the confer-ence at Mitchell which will be held November 6-8. The topic for discus-sion at this meeting is "Better Liv-ing." This subject will be discussed in relation to the following questions: 1--Is college preparing us for better living? 2--Is the Church doing its share? 3-What is the student to do about it? Many notable speakers and Y. M. and Y. W. workers will he at this meeting. Among them are Dad El-liott, Regional Student Y. M. Secre-tary; White Bakke, a student at North western, winner of the National Ora-torical Contest last year. Mr. Baake was on the student•pilgrimage to Eu-rope this summer; Stitt Wilson and Miss Gerlack will also be there. Our local Y. M. and Y. W. plan to have representatives at this confer-ence. NOTICE On Gypsy Day no noon meal will be served in the Cafeteria, for the French and Spanish Clubs are pro-viding "cats" at reasonable rates for all Gypsies. This is another instance where the school withdraws in order to give school organizations an op-portunity to function. Remember that the line-up for the Gypsy Day feast begins outside the Cafeteria at 5:30 P. M. S. D. C. P. A. TO MEET AT MITCHELL, NOV. 13-14 BIG PROGRAM PLANNED Exponent Will Compete in Contest With Other State College Papers Word has just been received in The Exponent office that the annual meet- ing of the South Dakota College Press Association will be held at Mitchell on November 13-14. This Association in- cludes all schools of college rank in the state that are publishing papers. Usually about ten or a dozen schools attend these meetings. The purpose of the conference is to discuss from every point of view matters of impor- tance in college journalism. Some of the outstanding topics for this year's discussion are as follows: "The College Paper and Its Relation With the Home City," L. W. Robin- son, editor, Mitchell Gazette; "News- paper Management," J. C. Lindberg, Director of Publications, N. S. T. C.; "Journalism and Its Purposes," Hon. W. R. Ronald, editor, Mitchell Daily Republican; "Getting the News," Prof. A. J. Wright, Department of Journalism, University; "Feature Stories," Mr. Dingler, editor, Huron; "Exchanges," Mr. Rogers editor, Sioux Falls. The business session, which will in- clude the election of officers for the year and choosing of the place for meeting next year, will take place on Saturday morning, November 14. One of the important features of the conference is the annual contest which compares the different college papers on the following points: front page make-up, editorial column, and gener- al news value. In last year's contest the "Exponent" and the "Phreno-Cos- mian" tied for first place. FOOTBALL PROGRAMS For the benefit of the Gypsies, and especially the home-coming gypsies, an attractive eight-page souvenir pro- gram is being printed. The program contains cuts of Her Majesty, the Queen, the Marshal of the Day, the leader of the Wolves, the coach, be- sides the line-ups of both teams, a score card, and a paragraph on the collative strength of the two teams. In former years the booklets have been sold. This year, due to the lib- eral advertising, the programs are to be given away. In return the man- agement asks that you read the ads and that you patronize the firms whose names appear in your program. The program has a striking two-color cover and will attractively fill a page of your memory book. The program is managed and edited by Bill Collins and George Palmer. SOUTH DAKOTA TEACHERS Recently, the S. D. E. A. Journal published a very interesting article, listing a number of teachers and tell- ing how long each had taught in South Dakota. None of the N. S. T. C. were mentioned, so by investiga- tion and personal interviews we have completed the following interesting list, giving the names and the num- ber of years the teachers who have taught more than ten years in South Dakota. Lida Williams, 15 years; Etha Burnham, 14 years; Dean Pryor, 12 years; M. M. Guhin, 19 years; Mary J. Meek, 17 years; J. C. Lindberg, 19 years; Mrs. Collins, 11 years; all at N. S. T. C.; Mr. Seymour, 25 years; Mr. Wray, 15 years; Mr. Onsgaard, 11 years; J. W. Thomas, 18 years; Mr. Gerber, 13 years; Miss Heinen- way, 16 years. All of these are now teaching at the N. S. T. C. FACULTY WIVES CLUB The first meeting of the Faculty Wives' Club was held at the home of Mrs. H. W. Foght, Monday afternoon. The meeting was devoted to the study of South Dakota. Mrs. A. H. Seymour gave a paper on the early history of South Dakota, and Mrs. Roderick Ross read another on the later history. A short business meeting was held, af- ter which a dainty lunch was served by Mrs. Foght. Mesdames Jensen, Wright and Lind- berg were awarded the honor of hav- ing served the best lunch, last year, on the least amount of money. THE QUEEN SAYS "Let all my loyal subjects for this one day act and do as is becoming to true Gypsies. Above all things, every true Gypsy will assist the Wolves in taking the 'awe' and 44st' out of 'Anna,' so that she think twice be-fore she ventures into the Nor-thern Woods a second time."

Transcription | The Exponent Northern State Teachers College VOL. XXIV ABERDEEN, SOUTH DAKOTA, OCTOBER 27, 1925 No. 5 LET'S TAKE THE AWE OUT OF AUGUSTANA OUR GYPSIEST GYPSY DAY IS HERE DEBATE QUESTIONS FIXED AT YANKTON CONFERENCE MUCH LOCAL INTEREST SHOWN Men to Debate Child Labor Issue; Wo- men Discuss Uniform Marriage and Divorce Question Prof. A. R. Root of the speech de- partment attended, last week, the an- nual meeting of the State Intercol- legiate Forensic Association, at Yank- ton, at which many things of impor- tance concerning the forensic activi- ties for the coming year were decid- ed. The question for the men's debates will concern the child labor issue, which is also the question for Pi Kappa Delta debates; the women's debating question concerns uniform marriage and divorce laws. An innovation this year will be to have open forum-no decision de- bates. There will be no judges, the audience acting in that capacity; and the audience will also be permitted to ask questions concerning any phase of the question. This type of debat- ing has gained much popularity in the last few years, for although there is no incentive to win, the debaters are taught to organize their thought to convince the audience and not just three judges and in this way they are stimulated to put their ideas across in the best possible way. Besides the scheduled debates for the conference, there will, of course, be other debates. The women's team will debate the Teachers College at Moorhead, Minnesota, and probably one of the denominational schools in Minnesota, also. The debates on the way to Estes Park, where the Pi Kappa Delta debates are to be held, have not been scheduled yet. This year we shall have two repre- sentatives in inter-collegiate oratory -one for the regular state contest, the winner of which represents South Dakota in the inter-state contest; and one to take part in a peace oratorical contest, the winner of which competes in a national contest. The state priz- es for this last contest are $60.00 and $40.00. This is a separate contest from the regular state contest. The oration must be only fifteen minutes in length and war may not be pre- sented as an agency of peace. The annual Lincoln contest in ora- tory will be held here either the last week of school in December or early in the winter quarter. Otto Gruhn was the winner last year and is back at school again this year and will probably enter. The material this year, both for de- bate and oratory is excellent, and a more active interest has been shown in forensic work than at any prev- ious time. It is estimated that twice as many people will be out for the work this year than last year. Following is the debate schedule: Class A, men's debates: Augustana to Springfield; Springfield to Yank- ton; Yankton to Sioux Falls College; Sioux Falls to Brookings; Brookings to Aberdeen; Aberdeen to Dakota Wesleyan; Dakota Wesleyan to Colum- bus; Columbus to Mines; Mines to Hur- on; Huron to Madison; Madison to Au- gustana. Class 3, women's debates: Sioux Falls to Aberdeen; Aberdeen to Dakota Wesleyan; Dakota Wesleyan to Huron; Huron to Yankton; Yank- ton to Sioux Falls. ORDER OF MARCH Mr. Engmann Hafnor, Marshal of the Day, announces the following or der of march for the parade on Gypsy Day: The parade will leave the campus from the Kline street entrance, turn-ing at the gateway and going west on Twelfth avenue to Main street. It will then follow. Main street down to the Milwaukee depot where it will turn and come back on Main as far as Sixth avenue. It will then proceed East on Sixth avenue as far as Kline street, where it will again turn South and return to the campus. HAMBURGER STAND Don't forget that the French and Spanish Clubs will be serving on Gypsy Day from 10:30 A. M. to 2:30 P. M. Ice cream! Hamburger! Cof-fee! Come one-come all. The best of food, the best of service, and the best of satisfaction will be yours. The stand will be centrally located on the campus-you can't miss it. WANTED A grey steed like George Washington's for me to ride on Gypsy Day. Must be tall enough so my feet won't hang on the ground and tame enough so he won't spoil the parade. -P. Engmann Hafnor, Marshal. MISS JESSIE NICOL Gypsy Queen A REAL EXPERIMENT Prof. Malcolm to Experiment in Rural Education in'the Midst of Sage Brush Desert Many of the students and faculty members were pleased to see Prof. D. J. Malcolm on the campus this week. At the close of the first six weeks of summer school he left with his family via auto for British Col- umbia. Early this fall he returned to South Dakota for a series of insti- tutes, he is now on his way back to the Pacific coast once more. Mr. Malcolm is very much inter- ested in the work that awaits him when he arrives home. Cooperating with the State Agricultural College at Pullman, Washington, he is plan- ning to teach a rural school in the sage brush desert country 75 miles from Spokane. He has already vis- ited the school and declares that from the point of view of backwardness, nothing is probably worse in the Unit- ed States. The one redeeming feature is the fact that there is a teacherage so that he and his family will be fairly comfortably housed. The un- dertaking is an experiment and we shall expect to hear a real story from Mr. Malcolm, such as we know that only he can tell. He is of the opinion at the present time that our educa- tional system is expecting much more from our teachers in backward rural communities than we have a right to expect. These are some of the prob- lems he hopes to solve. Among other things he expects to publish a school paper; as he says "out of nothing." On the strength of this statement the Exponent immediately asked to be put on his exchange list. We shall await the first number of whatever name the paper may bear. Mr. Mal- colm's address will be, Benge, Wash- ington. STEWART-FARBMA N RECITAL The artists' recital by Wylie Stewart, tenor, and Harry Farbman, violinist, was given to a large and appreciative audience at the N. S. T. C. auditorium, Wednesday, OctoLer 21. The two artists captured the au-dience from the beginning, Faibnian by his unusual skill and Stewart with nis excellent voice. The program con-tainea many selections from "old and modern masters." A matinee was Oven at 3:30 which was attended largely by students and 'faculty mein-hers. At 8:30, the program was given foi down-town people and fir stu-dents and faculty members who pre-ferred to attend in the evening. This was the bpening number of the 1925- 26 Lecture course. DANCE AND GUEST PERMITS Visitors please notice! All alumni and former students must have spec-ial permits for either the gym dance or the E-2 party. These must be had at Miss Moulton's office both before and after the game. Students desiring to bring friends must also have guest permits, and for this one night as many as they wish. Everyone must decide befoile taking out the permit whether they wish to go to the party or the dance. There should be no visiting between the gym and E-2 at refreshment time. Those who do not have permits or do not wish to dance, but wish to watch may be admitted to the balcony at the gym. BALLOON SALE The Y. W. is pushing a splendid plan of combining school publicity with a means of making money. In cooperation with the other organiza-tions to help make the campus beauti-ful Gypsy Day they are selling toy balloons. These balloons are of the school colors, maroon and gold, and each one proudly bears the letters "N. S. T. C." A balloon will add greatly to your costume today so get yours and help advertise the college. THREE FORMER QUEENS HERE Game With Augustana Will Be Big Feature of Afternoon The morning of Saturday, October 24, will see the opening of the Great- est Gypsy Day in the history of the N. S. T. C. It is going to be a real Home-coming Day when former Gyp- sies will return to renew old acquain- tances and to make new ones. The crowning of the Queen of the tribe at nine o'clock in the auditorium is indeed a fitting and beautiful cere- mony which will mark the beginning of the festivities which will be con- tinued late into the night. The coro- nation this year will be elaborate and beautiful. The procession of the Queen and her twelve attendants led by a small girl will mark the opening of the solemn ceremony. The music which has been provided is the best that can be obtained. Catherine Burns will provide violin music-played softly off stage throughout the entire coronation ceremony. Carl Gruhn and Harriet Seymour will sing appropriate Gypsy solos. A chorus formed from the Men's Glee Club, under the sup- ervision of Miss Carson and a group of the Normalonians from last year's club, will provide the best in chorus music. A coronation ceremony, especially that of a Gypsy Queen, will lack sea- soning if there were not the Gypsy Folk Dance. The dancers include Eth- el Mattice, Nora Staael, Faith Bryan, Durward Westervelt, Stanley Stout, and Miss Taggert. In addition to the dances there will be a tumbling act by Junior High School students drill- ed by Miss Staael. But the climax of it all is the crown- ing of the Queen. Three former Queens will be present to take part in the ceremony: Miss Remde, 1916; Miss Evans, 1923; and Miss Corcoran, 1924. Last year's Queen, Miss Cor- coran, will crown the Queen of the 1925 Gypsy Tribe, Miss Jessie Nicol. This elaborate ceremony only marks the opening of the gala day. Imme- diately following the coronation, at eleven o'clock, there will be the mon- ster parade, which will be participated in by practically every club on the (Continued On Page Two) GYPSY -DAY PROGRAM 9:00 A.

So the early history of our annual Gypsy Day takes us back nine years to the fall of 1916. Of course, every idea must have a father. The idea of a Gypsy Day has been conceded to Charles Fleischman, a graduate of N. S. T. C. He should perhaps, be called the father of Gypsy Day and the pat-riarch of the tribe, since he was so largely responsible for its origin. Prior to 1916 N. S. T. C. had no special Homecoming Day, and stu-dents had to rely upon their own ;n-dividual initiative, if they wished to celebrate for their Alma Mater, by staying out late on Saturday night or committing some other of the "un-pardonable acts." Charles Fleishman, along with many other students, ob-served that other state institutions had home-coming days of some kind, in the fall of the year, when they would welcome back the alumni to join in the festivities of a gala day. The recotds of The Exponent for the early fall of 1916 show several ap- peals for such a day at N. S. T. C. Finally, there appeared an editorial entitled, "Why Not Gypsy Day?" Mr. Fleishman with several others exerted themselves in pushing the idea, until the shool finally inaugurated a Gyp- sy Day. November 14, 1916, was set aside for the great occasion and plans were laid in earnest. The first queen to be lected was Bernice Remde of Madfield, with C. O. Gottschalk as Marshal of the Day. The Exponent of the following week says: " Early Saturday morning gay- colored figures swarmed upon the campus. With dark braids done up in unique head dress, with bright skirts and gay sashes, the fair N. S. T. C. Gypsiettes gathered for the Carnival of the Romanies, while their dark fiercer-looking partners of the stern sex mingled with them, making dark patches in the gay throng!" (Continued On Page Two) P. ENGMANN HAFNOR Marshal of the Day DOPE ON THE GAME Today's Contest Will be Most Fierce- ly Fought of Any on Schedule The addition of two conference vic- tories to the Wolves' tally lends that touch of confidence which makes for a winning team. Since the Black Hills trip many of the kinks have been worked out, and when the Pack goes on the field it will be with that same snap and zest which has spelled vic- tory in the two previous encounters. The contest today will probably be the most fiercely fought as well as the most decisive game on the Wolves' schedule. The two teams are of equal conference standing, each having won two and lost no conference games. The fact of the ragged score chalked up when the two teams met last year is another burr in the Wolves' harn- ess that will lend those last few ounc- es of punch necessary to carry the ball across. Condition seems to favor the Pack, for at present, if anything points to- ward victory for either team, it is the injury of three veteran Augustana backs. The lack of a strong reserve force is evident in the Vikings' camp, and unless the dope is upset and the veteran line-up start the game, Augus- tana will undoubtedly be playing against odds.

M.-Y. W. CONFERENCE Harriet Seymour and Durward Wes-tervelt Attend Meet at Sioux Falls The student Y. M. and Y. W. pres-idents of South Dakota met last Mon-day in Sioux Falls. Durward Wester-velt and Harriet Seymour, presidents of the Y. M. and Y. W., attended this conference. The meetings were held in the Y. M. building. Hugo Thomp-son, State Student Secretary of Min-nesota, and Miss Gerlack, Y. W. Field Secretary of this district, were the principal speakers. They discussed the subjects of World-Friendship and World Peace, pointing out the neces-sity of the United States joining the World Court. Plans were made for the confer-ence at Mitchell which will be held November 6-8. The topic for discus-sion at this meeting is "Better Liv-ing." This subject will be discussed in relation to the following questions: 1--Is college preparing us for better living? 2--Is the Church doing its share? 3-What is the student to do about it? Many notable speakers and Y. M. and Y. W. workers will he at this meeting. Among them are Dad El-liott, Regional Student Y. M. Secre-tary; White Bakke, a student at North western, winner of the National Ora-torical Contest last year. Mr. Baake was on the student•pilgrimage to Eu-rope this summer; Stitt Wilson and Miss Gerlack will also be there. Our local Y. M. and Y. W. plan to have representatives at this confer-ence. NOTICE On Gypsy Day no noon meal will be served in the Cafeteria, for the French and Spanish Clubs are pro-viding "cats" at reasonable rates for all Gypsies. This is another instance where the school withdraws in order to give school organizations an op-portunity to function. Remember that the line-up for the Gypsy Day feast begins outside the Cafeteria at 5:30 P. M. S. D. C. P. A. TO MEET AT MITCHELL, NOV. 13-14 BIG PROGRAM PLANNED Exponent Will Compete in Contest With Other State College Papers Word has just been received in The Exponent office that the annual meet- ing of the South Dakota College Press Association will be held at Mitchell on November 13-14. This Association in- cludes all schools of college rank in the state that are publishing papers. Usually about ten or a dozen schools attend these meetings. The purpose of the conference is to discuss from every point of view matters of impor- tance in college journalism. Some of the outstanding topics for this year's discussion are as follows: "The College Paper and Its Relation With the Home City," L. W. Robin- son, editor, Mitchell Gazette; "News- paper Management," J. C. Lindberg, Director of Publications, N. S. T. C.; "Journalism and Its Purposes," Hon. W. R. Ronald, editor, Mitchell Daily Republican; "Getting the News," Prof. A. J. Wright, Department of Journalism, University; "Feature Stories," Mr. Dingler, editor, Huron; "Exchanges," Mr. Rogers editor, Sioux Falls. The business session, which will in- clude the election of officers for the year and choosing of the place for meeting next year, will take place on Saturday morning, November 14. One of the important features of the conference is the annual contest which compares the different college papers on the following points: front page make-up, editorial column, and gener- al news value. In last year's contest the "Exponent" and the "Phreno-Cos- mian" tied for first place. FOOTBALL PROGRAMS For the benefit of the Gypsies, and especially the home-coming gypsies, an attractive eight-page souvenir pro- gram is being printed. The program contains cuts of Her Majesty, the Queen, the Marshal of the Day, the leader of the Wolves, the coach, be- sides the line-ups of both teams, a score card, and a paragraph on the collative strength of the two teams. In former years the booklets have been sold. This year, due to the lib- eral advertising, the programs are to be given away. In return the man- agement asks that you read the ads and that you patronize the firms whose names appear in your program. The program has a striking two-color cover and will attractively fill a page of your memory book. The program is managed and edited by Bill Collins and George Palmer. SOUTH DAKOTA TEACHERS Recently, the S. D. E. A. Journal published a very interesting article, listing a number of teachers and tell- ing how long each had taught in South Dakota. None of the N. S. T. C. were mentioned, so by investiga- tion and personal interviews we have completed the following interesting list, giving the names and the num- ber of years the teachers who have taught more than ten years in South Dakota. Lida Williams, 15 years; Etha Burnham, 14 years; Dean Pryor, 12 years; M. M. Guhin, 19 years; Mary J. Meek, 17 years; J. C. Lindberg, 19 years; Mrs. Collins, 11 years; all at N. S. T. C.; Mr. Seymour, 25 years; Mr. Wray, 15 years; Mr. Onsgaard, 11 years; J. W. Thomas, 18 years; Mr. Gerber, 13 years; Miss Heinen- way, 16 years. All of these are now teaching at the N. S. T. C. FACULTY WIVES CLUB The first meeting of the Faculty Wives' Club was held at the home of Mrs. H. W. Foght, Monday afternoon. The meeting was devoted to the study of South Dakota. Mrs. A. H. Seymour gave a paper on the early history of South Dakota, and Mrs. Roderick Ross read another on the later history. A short business meeting was held, af- ter which a dainty lunch was served by Mrs. Foght. Mesdames Jensen, Wright and Lind- berg were awarded the honor of hav- ing served the best lunch, last year, on the least amount of money. THE QUEEN SAYS "Let all my loyal subjects for this one day act and do as is becoming to true Gypsies. Above all things, every true Gypsy will assist the Wolves in taking the 'awe' and 44st' out of 'Anna,' so that she think twice be-fore she ventures into the Nor-thern Woods a second time." |
