SEVENTEEN ACTS VODVIL TOMORROW NIGHT The Exponent SEVENTEEN ACTS VODVII, TOMORROW NIGHT Northern State Teachers College VOL. XXVIII. ABERDEEN, SOUTH DAKOTA, FEBRUARY 13, 1930 No. 17 SEVENTEEN INCOMPARABLE ACTS AT VODVIL TOMORROW NIGHT 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. Lineup and Summary NORTHERN(32) FG. FT. PF.

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. Y. W. Vodvil COMING EVENTS Y. W. C. A.

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. Y. W. Vodvil 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 by N. S. T. C. people. Dr. Anderson 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. Y. W. C. A.

A group of Aberdeen people will award the prizes for the evening. Tickets are on sale at the secretary's office at the price of 25c, with an additional charge of 10c for reserved seats. 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. MADISON FG. FT.

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.

The quartet is made up of Winfred Colton, first violin, Betty Frary, second violin, Neil Boardman, viola; and Ella Colton, cello.

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 by N. S. T. C. people. Dr. Anderson 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. Y. W. C. A.

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.

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. MADISON FG. FT.

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. |
