CAMPBELLITES TROUNCE 
FAMOUS HURON SCALPERS
FINAL SCORE IS 32 TO 29
Black Is High-Point Man; Marquis
and Washabaugh Play Fine
Game
The Campbellites trounced the
Scalpers 32 to 29, in one of the best
games that has been played in the
conference this year. The Scalpers
who were favorites to win, due to the
fact that they had defeated the Wolves
earlier in the season, encountered a
different ball club, whose passing,
dribbling and shooting showed the results
of intensive practice. They
clearly outplayed their rivals during
the final period of the game.
The Wolves, led by Black, who sank
seven field goals for high point man
of the contest, were trailing throughout
the first half, the score being 18
to 16 at the end of that period in
favor of the Huronites. The second
half found the Wolves displaying an
offense that was unbeatable, and they
cut the lead of the Scalpers to even
terms when Black went on a scoring
spree to sink three field goals to give
the Wolves a commanding lead, giving
his team a 32 to 25 advantage.
Campbell, Huron center, scored two
field goals to make the count 32 to
29 when the gun ended the fray.
Black proved to be the outstanding
player on the floor, his basket-shooting
being a revelation to the fans who
were fortunate to be present. Marquis
and Washabaugh, returning to
their home town, played great games,
and no doubt many of the Huronites
were wishing that they were playing
with the Scalpers. For Huron, Campbell
gave a fine exhibition of basketball,
scoring thirteen points and playing
a fine floor game.

FORTY-EIGHT ENROLL
New Students in Extension Department
Carry 250 Hours of
Credit Work
Forty-eight new students have enrolled
in the extension department
courses at Northern during the first
six weeks of the winter quarter, according
to Dean J. W. Thomas, head
of the extension work. These students
are taking over 250 hours of
work, the most popular courses being
those in American history and education,
both rural and urban.
During the winter and spring quarters,
Prof. J. M. McCallister is conducting
an extension class in Seminar
in Education. At present there are
several students enrolled and include
mostly the teachers in the demonstration
school area surrounding Aberdeen.
One group of extension students in
Meadow, completed a course at the end
of the fall quarter, and since that time
has taken up a five-hour course in
English Bible. The enthusiasm of
this group is typical of all the extension
students either in the group
or private study.

NORTHERN MEN ON
COMMITTEES
In planning the new course of study
for South Dakota schools, a large
group of educators from the state
have been working on the Secondary
Education Curriculum Committee.
Graduates and instructors of Northern
hold many prominent places, either
as committee heads or members of
committees.
The entire project is supervised by
R. W. Kraushaar, state superintendent
of secondary education, a graduate
of Northern, '21. On the science
comimttee, J. H. Jensen is chairman,
while A. W. Coe is serving on the
committee.
William Bubbers of. Sioux Falls, a
graduate from the two year course
in 1916, is assisting in the bookkeeping
and salesmanship departments, and G.
H. Parker, also of Sioux Falls and a
Northern graduate, '28, is assisting
in the study of office practice.
The English committee has on its
list Harry Reynard of Rapid City,
and Dr. C. G. Lundquist of Leola, both
Northern products are working with
other physical education promoters in
that field. S. R. Harding, '22, and
R. R. Diemer, '29, both of Aberdeen,
are co-workers on the manual arts
committee. Prof. Lindberg is working
on a special committee, whose
work is to select poems by South Dakotans
suitable for the course of study
in reading and memory work.

RAMTHUN AND MILNOR
WIN DECISION DEBATE
DEFEAT MOORHEAD COLLEGE 
Men's Teams Meet Representatives
From North Dakota U. in Non-
Decision Contests
An intensive week end of debating, 
both in Aberdeen and at other schools,
was carried on the past week by the
local debate teams under the direction
of Prof. P. J. Harkness. Leaving
Aberdeen, Wednesday, February 4, a
women's squad, composed of Rose
Ramthun and Thelma Milnor, both of
Aberdeen, journeyed to Moorhead,
Minnesota, where they debated two
colleges. Concordia College representatives
spoke against Miss Ramthun
and Miss Milnor in a non-decision
contest on Thursday evening.
Friday afternoon the N. S. T. C.
speakers won a decision contest from
the Moorhead State Teachers College.
Following the debate in Moorhead,
Friday afternoon, Prof. Harkness
journeyed to Grand Forks, North Dakota,
and coached the men's squad,
Louis Anderson, Lowry, and Clarence
Dunker, Aberdeen, against the University
of North Dakota.
At home Arthur Birkeland, Pierpont
and Gale Finley, Chelsea, debated
a team from the North Dakota University.
Both of these contests were
non-decision.
Home Debate
Debating the question: "Resolved
that the nations should adopt a plan of
complete disarmament, except for such
forces as are necessary for police
protection", two representatives from
the University of North Dakota,
located at Grand Forks, met the local
affirmative team in the college auditorium
here, Thursday evening.
Arthur Birkeland and Gale Finley
upheld the affirmative side of the
question, while the negative team was
supported by Patrick Milloy and Carrol
Day. A large audience of students
and faculty members were
present. Glenn M. Jordan, of the
economics department, was chairman
of the debate.

ANDERSON GIVES ADDRESS
Discusses Two Educational Movements 
in America
Dr. Anderson was guest speaker at
the general meeting of the local
branch of the American Association
of University Women, held Tuesday
evening, January 4. Two new movements
in education in America were
discussed; the development of the
Junior High School and the Junior
College. These have certain interesting
similarities. The chief parallel,
however, is the method of study
best suited to each, the exploratory
courses, in charge of master teachers,
which help the students develop by
giving them a 'broad general background
needed for life and for the
more intensive study of senior high
school or senior college and graduate
work.
President Anderson outlined three
types of junior colleges. First, the
private colleges; second, the puhlic
junior colleges; third, the junior colleges
in the higher institutions of
learning.
The aims of the junior colleges were
discussed with special emphasis on the
completion of the general education
begun in high school. It gives the
student a broader view of all that
human civilization has accomplished.
A second point of the organization
is that it prolongs home influences
and keeps young people of immature
age in the home environment which
they need in those early years. Another
point emphasized was that the
junior college promotes and popularizes
education.
Doctor Anderson closed his address
with a final prophecy as to the future
of American schools, and a special
word of commendation for the splendid
progress American schools are making
from pre-school to junior college.
The junior college idea of broad general
training as a background for
later specialization will be a chief
agency in bringing to a successful
culmination the great American experiment
of education for everyone.

S. D. UNIVERSITY QUARTET GIVES FINE CONCERT
DIRECTED BY PROF. COLTON
Group Is Sponsored By Local Public School Music Supervisors
Club
By Walther Pfitzner
The coming of the String Quartet
from the State University of South
Dakota at Vermillion under the leadership
of Prof. W. Colton, Primarius
of the quartet, was a most welcome
and refreshing musical experience for
Aberdeen's music lovers last night.
A number of the college music students,
banded together in the Public
School Music Supervisor's Club, together
with Miss Grace McArthur,
faculty adviser, sponsored this concert,
and have to be credited with the
successful management of the event.
It was an atmosphere warm with
good will, into which the University
players stepped when they addressed
themselves to Beethoven's G Major
String Quartet, the second of the ever
youthful six of Opus eighteen.
The performance of this quartet and
the following groups, including the
Dvorak "American" quartet, deserves
warmest praise. Here were all the
grace and charm of Beethoven's
early quartet style, the wealth of
nuance, the faultless dexterity of presentation
which the master's music
exacts.
There is, perhaps, not any large
amount of genius enshrined in the
Dvorak quartet, but it palpitates with
joyous life, and the Vermillion quartet
read it with remarkable brilliancy and
skill.
Splendid rhythm, tone quality, unity
of design and balance of all four
string instruments were effectively
displayed in the middle group-lighter
music by Borodine, Raff and Kaessmayer-
compositions which gave the
audience great pleasure. Wholly
admirable was the spirit of unity
under Mr. Colton's inspiring leadership,
four excellent artists singularly
devoted to the supreme purpose of
translating the ideas of the composer
into the realm of beauty.
The State University and the City
of Vermillion are to be congratulated
upon having such an ideal string
ensemble of high ability among them,
and our Aberdeen audience certainly
is thankful for the rare opportunity
of hearing such exquisite chamber
music. The quartet is made up of
Winfred Colton, first violin, Betty
Frary, second violin, Neil Boardman,
viola; and Ella Colton, cello.

Gale Finley Wins Extempore Tilt
MISS KUNDERT IS SECOND
Winner Will Represent Northern In State Contest At
Mitchell
Elimination contests in extemporaneous
speaking were held Monday
afternoon. Three divisions were
scheduled. In division one, Marian
Karrigan was the winner with the subject
of "New Alignments of Political
Parties". Miss Karrigan is a former
student of Aberdeen high school.
Second place was won by Harold
Stoakes of Charles City, Ia., who
spoke on "School Spirit".
"Monoply Control" was the subject
of Gale Finley, of Chelsea, winner in
the second division. Arthur Birkeland
of Pierpont placed second, discussing
"Five Power Conference".
Elvera Kundert delivered a talk on
"Chain Stores" and won third division
honors. Miss Kundert comes to the
N. S. T. C. from Bowdle. Marie
Krog of Gann Valley placed second
to Miss Kundert. Miss Krog's subject
was "Political Trouble in Mexico".
In the final contest, at assembly,
Tuesday morning, Gale Finley won
first place. Mr. Finley's subject was
"Mussolini and Italy". Elvera Kundert
won second place, discussing
"Soviet Russia" and third place was
given to Marian Karrigan, whose
topic was "The Crash in Wall Street".
All did exceptionally well in delivering
their subjects. Drawings were made
at 6:30 a. m. this morning and three
hours were given to the participants in
which to prepare their subject. To
Miss Karrigan went the honor of being
the first Freshman to reach the
finals of an all-school contest. The
winner will compete in the state contest
at Mitchell at the end of the
week.
Judges for the final contest were
Miss Keo King of the education department,
Prof. G. W. McMurtrey of
the psychology department, and Prof.
Marc N. Cleworth of the English department.
Prof. P. J. Harkness presided
over the contest.

The Gettysburg Address
FOURSCORE and seven years ago our
fathers brought forth on this continent a
new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated
to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing
whether that nation, or any nation so conceived
and so dedicated, can long endure. We
are met on a great battle-field of that war.
We have come to dedicate a portion of that
field as a final resting place for those who
here gave their lives that that nation might
live. It is altogether fitting and proper that
we should do this.
But in a large sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate,
we cannot hallow, this ground. The brave men, living and dead,
who struggled here have consecrated it far above our poor power
to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember
what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.
It is for us, the living, rather, to he dedicated here to the unfinished
work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced.
It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining
before us-that from these honored dead' we take increased
devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure
of devotion; that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not
have died in vain; that this nation, under God, shall have a new
birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people.
for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
-Abraham Lincoln.

MORRIS GOES TO MINNEAPOLIS
LeRoss Morris, superintendent of
buildings and grounds, left recently
for Minneapolis where he will spend
two weeks in the study of the system
employed in taking care of the
many school and college buildings of
that city. This is the second trip
made by Mr. Morris to Minneapolis
on a similar errand. A year ago he
spent a month with Mr. Wonrath
studying conditions and doing actual
work in the Twin Cities. Mr. Wonrath
has under his control all the
policing of grounds and caring for
buildings of the public schools system
of Minneapolis and the opportunity
to work with him affords a great
amount of practical experience.
Mr. Morris has been in charge of
this branch of work at the local institution
for over a year and has accomplished
a great deal of commendable
work in maintaining the building,
campus and heating plant up to
a high standard.

ORCHESTRA ON TRIP
During the week of March 31 to 
April 5, the college orchestra will
make its main concert tour of the
year according to reports from
Roderick Ross, business manager of 
the organization. The musicians will
leave Aberdeen by bus and tour the 
western part of the state. 
Prof. H. E. Goodsell, director of
the orchestra, accompanied by Mr.
Ross, will take 25 students on the
trip. This number will include all
soloists and players. The group will
play at Timber Lake, McLaughlin,
McIntosh, Glenham, and at Hettinger,
North Dakota. Except for Timber
Lake and Glenham, all of these towns
have been visited before and have enthusiastically
sponsored the orchestra.
The trip west has come to be an annual
affair with the college orchestra.
In most cases their programs are under
the auspices of the schools although
churches and community clubs are
often responsible for the concerts.

ALMA LANGE
Most Representative Woman

ALMA LANGE IS CHOSEN
REPRESENTATIVE WOMAN
IRMA M ASCHKE IS SECOND
Twenty-five Dollar Award Is
sented by Jean Speirs-
Helgeson
To Miss Alma Lange of Java goes
the honor of winning the fourth annual
"Most Representative Woman
Contest" at Northern, and the twenty-five
dollars in gold awarded by Jean
Speirs-Helgeson of Minneapolis. This
annual award was started three years
ago by Mrs. Helgeson in the hopes
of setting a high standard of womanhood
for the girls attending Northern.
Previous winners are as follows: Miss
Myrtle Orton of Ortley, Miss Harriet
Seymour of Aberdeen and Miss Lola
Lund of McLaughlin.
Miss Lange is a member of the
senior class and is engaged in very
many activities, among them the following:
member of the Pasque Board
for two consecutive years, member of
Beaux Arts Club, assistant librarian,
and assistant in the department of
biology, member of Kappa Delta Pi,
member Masquers Club and social
committee.
At the special request of Mrs.
Helgeson, Mr. Lindberg had charge
of the contest this year as in former
years. First of all a committee of
five faculty members was chosen to
nominate a group as representative
candidates. This faculty committee
composed of Dean Moulton, chairman;
Dean Wray, Vice-President Seymour,
Miss Lighthall and Mrs. Barnes,
chose the following group of sixteen
girls: Viola Boekelheide, Lois
Blethen, Erma Demerrseman, Hazel
Duncan, Marjorie Daly, Carolyne
Hill, Elvera Kundert, Alma Lange,
Marie Leighty, Mildred Anderson,
Neva Searle, Helen Malloy, Thelma
Milnor, Enid Taylor, Irma Maschke,
and Rose Ramthun. From this list
the faculty chose five-Misses Bockelheide,
Duncan, Lange, Maschke,
Taylor-who were submitted to the
student body in a general vote. The
students' choice were Miss Lange, first
and Miss Maschke, second. The Helgeson
award will be presented to Miss
Lange at some future date during assembly.

SUPT. DALTHORP SPEAKS
Speaker Urges Students to Have in
Mind a Definite Goal in Going
Through College
Superintendent Dalthorp of the
Aberdeen city schools favored students
and faculty members with an
address, Thursday morning at assembly
period. Mr. Dalthorp, in a most
interesting manner, told the students
of the importance of having a definite
purpose in view and of obtaining
one's education for the realization of
that purpose. The speaker cited several
cases with which he was acquainted,
which illustrated disastrous
results, due greatly to the fact that
the individual attended college with
no particular aim toward which they
strove. He also stressed the importance
of choosing the right profession
stating that in order to be a success
the individual must be suited to his
work. To choose a career, and to
plan for that career during the days
spent in college, is the privilege and
the duty of every student.
Supt. Dalthorp's talk was especially
interesting since he is known by
practically all of the students, both
through previous addresses and as
superintendent of the Aberdeen high
school.

COLLEGE PEOPLE GIVE
PROGRAM
Without any premeditation on the
part of anyone the entire Rotary Program
for last Monday was furnished

as president of the Club, had
charge of the meeting. Prof. Harmon,
as chairman of the program committee,
announced the program. Miss
Dorothy J. Hooper played for the club
singing. Readings were furnished by
Evelyn Thoreson and Hilda Hansen.
Neva Searle gave her original oration,
the "Bloodless Massacre", and
Mr. Lindberg sang two solos accompanied
by Dorothy Hooper at the
piano and Miss Searle with flute
obbligato.

ARTS CLUB SPONSORS DANCE
Special Prizes Are Awarded for Outstanding
Costumes
The costume dance, an annual affair
at Northern was sponsored Saturday
evening, Febraury 8, by the Beaux
Arts Club. The frolic was held in
the Spafford gymnasium.
Wilhelmina Penfold won the prize
for most beautifully costumed woman
student. She was attired as a beautiful
Spanish senorita. Competition
for this prize was keen, since many
of the young women had chosen to
dress as did Martha Washington, in
beautiful and appropriate costumes.
Louise Milligan was awarded the prize
for the best hard-time woman's costume,
while Earl Hallock romped off
with a similar men's prize. The
judges were members of the Beaux
Arts Club of which Mr. E. K. Baillie
is the faculty adviser.
Special features were a grand
march, tag dances, special waltzes,
good music and refreshments. One
of the original features of the evening
was the "Till Family" composed
of Till, Dalthorp, Keenan, Voelz,
King and "Baby" Lane.

TROJANS DEFEAT WOLVES
The Trojans of Eastern Normal
secured ample revenge for the drubbing
the Wolves gave them earlier in
the season. The Wolves lost 25 to
40, largely due to the fact that the
Trojans displayed one of the best
passing and shooting attacks that has
been exhibited in the conference this
year. They were decidedly onto their
game, shooting baskets from all
angles, and covering the Wolves' forwards, 
whenever they were within
scoring distance of the basket.
Black proved to be the most effective
scorer for the Wolves, scoring
four baskets and playing a fine floor
game. Dresselhuys, substitute guard,
did much to keep the Wolves from
being submerged, and no doubt he
will prove very effective in future
games. For the Trojans there were
no outstanding stars, as every man
proved instrumental to bring about
the downfall of the Wolves, while the
scoring was equally directed among
the players.

WOLVES WILL PLAY ST. THOMAS
Coach Campbell has succeeded in
scheduling a night football game with
St. Thomas College, Minnesota, intercollegiate
champions in '29, to be
played at St. Paul, September 20,
1930. This will not, only be the opening
performance for both teams, but
it will also be the first night football
game played in St. Paul. St. Thomas
promises to be one of Northern's
strongest foes. Last Gypsy Day St.
Thomas played here. The Wolves, by
gallant fighting, held the powerful
Balan Aggregation to one lone touchdown,
which was scored in the last
few minutes of play. If the faculty
athletic committee O. K. the game,
the Wolves will go to St. Paul the day
before the game and take a light
work-out under the lights.


Misses Seim and Merkle of the
Herreid schools were campus visitors
last Saturday.
