The Exponent Volume XXXVII No. 7 Northern State Teachers College, Aberdeen, South Dakota November 3, 1938 Skimming the Front Page By Peter Bell The American bid into the far Eastern situation has taken the form of a demand upon the Japanese government. This demand insisted upon a recognition of the American principle of the open door-of free trade in China. In the face of Japans avert determination to monopolize Chinese trade this seems an impossible demand tot the Nippon government to meet. On the other hand, Japan is curiously dependent upon American trade agreements for certain raw materials- notably cotton-and for a market for her silk. Japan has not replied as yet, but it seems certain that her only possible answer will be a "yes but" which will have to be an equivalent of "no." Meanwhile, in spite of the spectacular desertion of Canton and Hankow to the invaders, China seems as far as ever from seeking to make peace with her aggresive neighbor. There is no doubt that Japan needs the trade of China to support her very existence, but probably the average Japanese citizen would now admit (though not publicly) that the Japanese army has defeated the very aim sought The invasion of China, far from forcing the Chinese to accept Japanese monoply, has united an otherwise much divided country against Japan. China's general, Chiang, newly established at a new headquarters behind the lines at Chungking, has declared the will of the Chinese nationalists holds firm to "lure" Japanese troops to their destruction deep into the interior. The United States is only one of the countries whose policy is turning against Japan as her plan to monopolize Chinese trade takes more definite form. In spite of all the smoke screen about conflict between "dictators and democracies" it becomes apparent that Germany's interests, as well as those of England and America, are opposed to a Japanese monoply. If there is trouble it will be over economics, not humanitarian issues. At home the issues of election day have forced even the strikes off the front page. The struggle on the surface is still between parties, but the actual cleavage is now taking place within the parties. This is true in nearly all the states. New York state offers the most spectacular example where Lehman and the Democratic ticket, openly supported by the national party, is really the anti-new deal group, and Dewey, the republican is heartily in sympathy with the aims of liberal government. This situation is reflected everywhere, though seldom are the parties reversed in that fashion. The real fight goes on between liberals and conservatives, whatever their party labels. The outcome of the elections may Continued on page four. National Council Man Speaks on World War President Lawrence and several members of Northern's faculty attended a small informal meeting with Jesse McKnight representative of the National Council for the Prevention of War, held at the Presbyterian Church, eight o'clock Tuesday evening, October 25. Mr. McKnight is touring the United States in the interests of world peace. He was introduced by Dr. Lawrence, who spoke warmly of the work done by Mr. McKnight and his colleagues in fostering anti-war sentiment. Mr. Knight's talk emphasized the need for understanding of the present world crisis, which he identified as economic. He made clear the danger to world peace that existed in huge armaments,' and pointed out that the large American navy was obviously meant to protect commercial interests in the Far East. Mr. Knight's recommendation was that all citizens acquaint themselves with the imminent danger of overarming and overaggressive tactics. "All citizens," he said, "should bring pressure to bear on their representive in congress." He suggested especially that every one at the meeting write immediately to the four South Dakota candidates for congress to ascertain their stand on the peace question before November 8. At the end of Mr. Knight's talk, President Lawrence suggested the founding of a local committee to carry on the work of advocating measures toward peace and neutrality. Rev. Maurice D. Bohn was elected president of the movement, and Robert B. Ware, secretary of the Y. M. C. A., was elected secretary. Among those present at the meeting were Mr. Mewaldt, Dr. Woodall, Mr. Ashton, and Dr. Cesander of the college. New Assembly Set-up Starts This Morning The initial program of a new assembly set-up at Northern State Teachers College will be held this morning fourth hour. The program will consist of student talent, including musical, speaking and dramatic entertainment. With the abolishment of regular assembly periods this year, classes will be dismissed. Students are expected to attend the assemblies in lieu of their regular classwork. The program to date arranged by P. J. Harkness, chairman of the assembly committee, includes an Armistice Day address November 11 by V. H. Culp, of the education department. President C. G. Lawrence will speak to the student body Nov. 16. His subject will be "The New Patriotism." Plans for regularly scheduled assemblies following this program will be dependent upon the response of the student body to those already arranged. Madsen, Banks, Biographies Appear in "Who's Who” Bernice Madsen, editor of the 1938 Pasque, and Phil Banks, outstanding in speech activities, were signally honored when word was received at Northern State Teachers College that their biographies will appear in the "Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges." This book is published yearly with the selections for entry made with the collaboration of deans and presidents of the various institutions presented. The student must meet rigid requirements for nomination and final listing among which are character, scholarship, leadership in extra-curricular activities, and the possibility of future usefulness to business and society. Miss Madsen's creative writing in both prose and poetry at Northern along with her editing of the year book last year, was a strong contributing factor in the editor’s choice in listing Miss Madsen's biography. Miss Madsen is a junior from Carpenter. Mr. Banks has participated in intercollegiate debate at Northern for the past two years. He was a member of the varsity men's team last year debating with Joe Robbie. He completed his second year's speech competition in the national Pi Kappa Delta meet at Topeka, Kansas, where he participated in debate and men's extempore. Mr. Bank's record shows that out of 35 debates entered 24 are in the win column. Mr. Banks is a junior at Northern from Clark. World Famous Egon Petri To Give Recital Tonight The world famous Virtuoso musician Egon Petri, will give a recital at the college auditorium Thursday, November 3. Egon Petri descends from a musical family. His father, a prominent Dutch violinist, was a friend of Clara Schumann and concert master of the Gewandhaus, Leipzig. Petri himself was born in Hamburg. Petri was a student of Feruccio Busoni who is credited with passing on to his pupil the qualities of hand and mind that make him famous in Europe and America. He was concertized extensively throughout Europe and has appeared as soloist with all the leading symphony orchestras as well. His winter headquarters are in London and he attracts students from all parts of the world. Petri is an able linguist, speaking German, English, and French fluently as well as understanding (Continued on page 2) EGON PETRI Wild Man Described in Creative Writing Class Robert Schmidt, the campus magician made quite a sensation in the Creative Writing class Thursday with his reading of a realistic Wild Man story. According to Mr. Schmidt, the carnival wild man, or "Greek" is a development calling for artistry and cleverness. "Greeks," Mr. Schmidt seems to indicate, are made and not born. The story dealt vividly with the transformation of a college clown into a "Geek" for a profitable summer as wild man with a carnival. The class gasped and laughed as the wild man was described in the act of biting off chicken's and snake heads. The combination of humor and realism was voted very successful by the entire class. W.S.G.A. Kid Party Great Success Short skirts, rompers, and lollipops set the stage for the annual W. S. G. A. kid party at NSTC's Spafford Gymnasium Friday night. Arlene Neill was general chairman of the affair which included dancing., a program and refreshments.

Every morning we look through our wardrobes wondering if it should be this or that outfit. But in the end, we fall back on our old favorite-the sweater and skirt. Starting at the top and going down, we find that college girls do not particularly care for hats. If you do see any head covering, it is usually the little suede beanie made so popular by coeds. Glancing over our campus, we notice that sweaters and skirts are predominate in every color imaginable. Simple wools and jerseys are also popular. For a wrap on a cool morning the girls don their jackets of suede or bright wool plaids. The polo coat is a common, but classy type of sports wear. Shoes are last, but not least. Sport shoes of every type are the old standbys. Not many of the girls strut on the campus in spike heels. They want comfort, and the sportier the better. All in all, the college coed dresses in the sporty manner she does, striving to give every one that look of being collegiate. ATTENTION JUNIORS Have you attended to the Good English requirement?
