The Exponent Northern State Teachers College VOLUME XXXII ABERDEEN, SOUTH DAKOTA, NOVEMBER 23, 1933 NUMBER 9 "$1200 A YEAR" IS LEADERSHIP PLAY CRITICS LAUD COMEDY Production Is Directed By Miss Lighthall and Dr. Hiett ; Prof. Tostlebe Is Club Sponsor Tonight, the Leadership Club will present its twelfth annual play in the college auditorium. The play, which is an entirely different type from that presented last year, is by Edna Ferber and Newman Levi and is a very popular comedy in dramatic circles. Various critics have made the following comments on the play: "A three-act play in which a university professor gives up his $1200 a year position in the University to earn $30 a day in a mill. He immediately becomes popular as a labor leader and lecturer and is in demand all over the U. S., but it is only when he is offered a salary of $500 a week in the movies that the magnate, who c:wns the university as well as the mill, is moved to consider the question cf an adequate salary for a professor." "The authors have challenged serious criticism by calling the play a `comedy', and by permitting the publishers to proclaim it a 'Timely satire'. It is an amusing and clever farce, containing many tricks of skillful character depiction." "As a vehicle for amusement, '$1200 a Year' is both ingenious and satisfying." The committee which has worked to make the play a success is June Culp, Lee Alexander, Georgia Ryder, Madge Reeves, Agnes Hansen, Mercedes Tracy, Herman Rosenberg, Bertha DeHeuf. The officers of the club are: president- --Ailenr Jensen; vice-president- Virgil Parker; secretary-Eunice Curry; treasurer-Georgia Ryder. The club sponsor, Prof. Tostlebe, reports that advanced ticket sales have progressed nicely and that a record attendance is expected. Tickets may be purchased from members of the club and in the financial secretary's office. The price is twenty-five cents; re-served seats may be gotten at the sec_ retary's office.

His topic was, "Overlapping of Science Classes." He pointed out that the smaller high schools should give a general science course before offering a major course in physics or chemistry. A general course in science educates the public to take a greater part in public activitives, as in purifying water, vaccination and other preventions which endanger health. Mr. Jensen would like to see science taught from the first grade through the twelfth. Editor Gives Address At Thursday's assembly, Mr. Howard Anderson, Editor of the Aberdeen American-News, addressed the students on the subject of "The Crime Wave". In his talk he expressed the belief that higher education might be the solution to the great wave of erime which has paralyzed this country, stating that although the United States has no excuse for it, it leads the world in crime. The address was informative and interesting, and was well received. Northern Professors To Be At State Meet Northern will be well represented en the S. D. E. A. convention programs. Mrs. W. W. Garvin will talk before the English teachers on "Literature and International Mindedness". Professor A. W. Coe will speak to the combined science round table group which includes the chemistry and physics teachers, on "The New High School Course of Study in Physics." Professor Cce is the author of this new course which will be introduced in the high schools of South Dakota next fall. As president of the State Poetry Society, Dr. J. C. Lindberg will preside over its meetings which will be held on Monday, November 27, at the Congregatoinal Church. C. J. Dalthorp, Superintendent of Schools, Aberdeen, will address a group on "Defense for Public Education". Mis.F, Lida M. Williams, vice-president of the Association for Childhood Education is giving a talk, "Echoes from the National A. C. E. Meeting." Prof. M. F. Tostlebe will speak on "Nature Study, Health and Science in the Rural Schools", before the Rural Educaticn group in the Methodist Church, and on "Course of Study in Science for Rural Schools" before the Combined Sciences group at the Coliseum on Monday. Other professors of Northern who hold offices in the State Association and who will attend the convention are Professor Merle Trickey, vice-president of the Commercial Teachers of South Dakota; and Professor J. H. Jensen, secretary-treasurer of the General Science group. A large representation of other Ncrthcrn faculty members is expected at the Sioux Falls convention. APPRECIATIVE HOUSE HEARS C. W. CADMAN NOTED ARTIST PLAYS Fine Vocal Quartet Interprets Original Operatic Compositions By Besse Stackpole A large and appreciative audience greeted Charles Wakefield Cadman and his quartet for their presentation of ten of this gifted composer's recent works in operatic style. To the American public, Mr. Cadman is perhaps best known as a composer of Indian lyrics, but after hearing him in A different vein, we appreciate the more his versatility and capacity for diversified interests in musical composition. Besides being a song writer, Mr. Cadman is a composer of choral and chamber music, orchestral suites and operas, "The Witch of Salem" having been produced by the Chicago Civic Opera Company in 1926 with great success. "The Willow Tree", a one-act opera, was first presented by the well balanced quartet composed of Constance Eberhart, Helen Freund, Eric Russel Cooke and Arthur Kraft. Especially pleasing was the portrayal of Miss Eberhart as Donella, the Italian factory girl, as well as the lovely duet, "This is Love's Hour", sung by Miss Freund and Mr. Kraft. Of the two operas, probably the quartette cycle, "White Enchantment", made the greater appeal to the audience. In the role of a friend of the family, Mr. Cadman provided the accompaniment’s and interludes in a most gratifying manner. Mr. Cooke was very much more at ease in the role of the self satisfied American father than in his portrayal of Pietro, and rang of his youthful experiences in the Orient in a highly satisfactory manner. The ensembles and duets were especially outstanding for their diction, balance and faultless intonation in the unaccompanied passages. The Cadman Quartet has provided fcr Aberdeen an opportunity to hear two operatic works by an American composer sung in our own language. Even to those who have asked so long for this privilege, it was apparent that hearing our own vernacular sung in operatic style proved at times to be a bit startling. Doubtless the full appreciation of American opera is only a matter of education, and will come as we are able to familiarize ourselves with the works of our own American composers. Demonstration School Burns The Riverside demonstration school, lccated about two miles south of Aberdeen, was seriously damaged by a fire last week. As this is one of the college demonstration schools this tragedy affects many on the campus. Miss Julia Finley is the critic teacher. More than fifty pupils were in attendance at the school. The damage done was estimated at several hundred dollars. No one was injured.

Wolf-Scalper Game Ends in 0 to 0 Tie Game Ragged Throughout Illness of Birdseye, Leland and Willard Definitely Crippled Northern's Chances of Victory While Northern did not beat Huron, last Friday, they are at least assured of a tie with Augustana for the 1933 state conference football championship. The season ends with Northern four victories and one tie, and with Augustana four victories. The Wolves were rather unimpressive, last Friday, looking very little like the team which two weeks before had held the strong Superior team to a 0 to 0 tie. They opened Friday's game strongly, marching down the field to the Huron 15-yard line. At this point, Willard, star quarterback, was taken from the game with a broken rib, and Northern felt his loss keenly. The team did not seem to have the same fire and fight they had before. Leland made six yards through the line in two plays and then the ball was fumbled, with Huron recovering to kick out of danger. The game from this point on was played in the middle of the field or in Northern territory, with one exception. In the fourth quarter, Holm, Huron safety man, fumbled a punt and Leon Nixon recovered and started out for the goal line with no Huron man ahead of him, but heeding cries of "lateral it" he slowed up several times to lateral the ball but couldn't so he had to keep running himself. A Huron man took advantage of this play and tackled him on the 15-yard line. After trying three plays with little gain, Birdseye was rushed into the game to try a field goal, which (Continued on Page 2) All-School Dance Set For Nov. 25th On Saturday, November 25, from 8:30 to 11:30 o'clock, an all-school Thanksgiving Dance will be held in Spafford Gymnasium.
