Vets Organize ; Officers Elected

Election of officers for the newest campus organization took place Monday, November 18, as Bill Grossbach, Mazeppa sopho-more, was elected president of the Veteran's Club. Other officers elected were Edwin Johnson, Wi-nona, Vice-President; Anna Sprick Lake City, Secretary; and Gerald Ostrom, Winona, Treasurer.

General aims of the new group will be primarily social, but there are several other goals. "The pur-pose of the Vet's Club will be to aid the veteran in realizing all the educational potentialities of the college; to protect him from forces that might tend to infringe upon his rights as a free-thinking college student; and to stimulate an added interest in the welfare of the college," says President Grossbach.

On Wednesday November 20, a special meeting was called to appoint a committee to draft a constitution. This will be ratified at the next meeting.

A future plan of the newly organized vets is the sponsoring of an all school party.

With a total membership of approximately 275, the veterans' organization is one of the largest clubs in the college. With an expected life span of only four or five years, the club intends to establish itself firmly enough to become a part of college history.

Students of the Teachers Col-lege will find four new courses listed in the college curriculum for the winter quarter. These courses will be Beginning Oil Painting, 313; Journalism, 214; World Politics and Government, 230; and Elements of Accounting, 205.

Beginning Oil Painting will be taught by Miss Floretta Murray and will provide training in the use of media. Figure, product il-lustration, portraiture, and land-scape forms will also be included.

I.R.C. Reorganizes ; WinterPlansMade

The newly re-organized Inter-national Relations Club held its first meeting at 7 P.M. on No-vember 6. Officers were elected and a constitution was drafted. The purpose of the club is to promote and foster interest in current events and world affairs. Work will be done toward pro-moting better international rela-tions and world peace. Now under consideration is a proposal to affiliate an international or-ganization of college students.

Officers elected were Secretary-General, Wilbur Quickstead; As-sistant - to - Secretary - General, Roger Moen; Secretary-treasurer, Barbara Macemon; Publicity Manager, Bill Grossbach. Mr. Raniele is faculty advisor. Meet-ings are held on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month. Membership is open to all stu-dents of the college.

"The Veto Power of the UNO" was the topic for discussion at the second meeting of the club held on November 14. The "Town Meeting of the Air" was listened to from 7:30 to 8:30 and then discussed.

Plans for the next meeting in-clude a guest speaker on the sub-ject, "The Results of the Re-publican Landslide in the No-vember Election."

Future plans also include a weekly newsmap and an all col-lege contest on world affairs.

It will consist of work with still life, figure, and composition.

Mr. Robert Hosokawa will teach a general course in the Fundamentals of Journalism. It will cover material dealing with the gathering of news, interview-ing, writing up news and heads, and newspaper ethics.

The course in World Politics and Government will consist of a unit on international geographi-cal, psychological, economical, militant forces; a unit on histori-cal ideas' and plans for world

College Places 3 Fall Graduates

Three students will receive their diplomas at the end of the fall quarter and have accepted positions. They include Rae Maren Olson, who will teach the 1st grade at Farmington; Orva Hansen, 3rd and 4th grades at Waldorf; and Doris Hansen, 5th and 6th grades at Ellendale.

government; and a unit on the development of international co-operation. Part of this course will be devoted to a study of the League of Nations and the United Nations. Dr. William Verhage, Dean of the college, will supervise this course.

Mr. Elwyn Bailey, recently added to the faculty, will instruct, classes in Elements of Account-ing, which will introduce the primary principles of bookkeeping and accounting.

Art Class Exhibits Home Furnishings

The Art Appreciation Class, under the supervision of the art instructor, Miss Murray, held a contemporary art exhibit this week in Room 10 of Somsen Hall. The purpose of the exhibit was to emphasize the features and characteristics of well-pro-portioned design as compared with inexpensive, mass-produced imitations.

Their slogan "Form should fol-low function" was appropriate, for simplicity of design, and pleasing lines were typical of the items displayed. Over-ornamen-tation, over-decorativeness and elaborateness, as was shown on china and glass displays especi-ally, were considered unsatisfac-tory in that they detracted from the pleasant harmonizing tones accepted today in the home, as well as in the art world.

Such items as furniture, glass-ware, china, silver rand wood ornaments predominated; while fabrics, kitchet utensils, and small pottery pieces were limited.

The articles on display were loaned or contributed to the club by the members, friends, and business firms of the city.

Annual Kappa Pi Bazaar To Be Held

Trays of hand painted Hum-mel, Smoresburg, and sport themes; bowls; chip-carved boxes; ceramic pins; Christmas cards; and Kappa Pi art calendars for 1947 are a few of the articles to be sold at the annual Christmas bazaar sponsored by Kappi Pi, honorary art fraternity, in Room 8, Monday afternoon, December 16, from 3:15 to 5:00.

The sale of these articles, made and contributed by members of the Kappa Pi, is open to faculty and students of the school as well as to the general public.

Miss Murray is advisor of the club and Constance Strommer is president.

A Few Thoughts For Thanksgiving

by Ned Danuser Tomorrow is "Turkey Day",

and by that we don't mean a Turkish National holiday. To-morrow is the day when we all stop to offer our thanks for the blessings that are all around us. Perhaps our thanks will be given only for the feast that we will have, or only for the two days we miss school. There will be some who will spend a moment giving thanks that the Republicans again have a majority in Congress, and others who won't celebrate the day for the same reason. There'll be lots of Yanks who'll give thanks that they're out of the ranks.

We all have a lot to be thankful for, because we all have so much to look forward to — whether it's four more years at T. C. or our possibilities out on the job next

_year. We can thank the society that made it possible for us to be here. We are looking forward to the time when we will have peace; when labor's battle with manage-ment is finished at home; and peace reigns over all the nations of the world. We all are looking forward to the time when we can get a new car or a new suit with-out giving some dealer a tip; when competition will keep prices down and service standards up; and when our simple, homely craving for a good steak will be satisfied.

The least that we have to be thankful for is the fun we'll have as we watch this old world trying to straighten itself out.

What will you be thankful for?

Insect Collection Given BiologyDpt.

The College received an unusual though valuable gift recently when it was presented with an extensive collection of insects. The specimens, mainly moths, butterflies, and beetles, are from all parts of the world.

Mr. Clarence A. Milde, Lewis= ton, presented the collection to the biology department to be kept as a memorial to his mother, Ina McGregor Milde, who spent forty years collecting, mounting, and cataloging the insects, all of which are encased in glass. An interesting note on the collection is that Mrs. Milde raised many of the specimens herself and traded with biologists the world over.

Dr. M. R. Raymond, of the biology department, expressed his appreciation for the endowment, and is proceeding with plans to place the collection on permanent display for the use of the depart-ment.

Mrs. Verne Milde Iwinski, now of San Francisco, a sister of the donor, is an alumna of the Teachers College.

College Closes For Thanksgiving Recess; Student Expresses Holiday Sentiments

"State of the Union"

The political minds, Jim Lafky, Charlotte Bierce, Bob Staehlin and Tom Baab, divulge their opinions to Nancy Staley.

Probably the most recent "big" news has been the G.O.P. land-slide at the polls. No one can forecast the exact effect of this demonstration of the people's will on the nation, but some of the political-minded students and fa-culty have offered the following predictions:

BOB STAEHLIN - There, of course, will be a shake-up in jobs, with Democrats being fired and Republicans hired. And if the Republicans can formulate a foreign policy to satisfy the people's desire for peace, they'll be doing something the Demo-crats haven't been able to do for the past 16 years. Tom Baab – I should rather

be concerned with the effect of the nation on the Republican party. The party is facing a ter-rific political drubbing as a con-

sequence of having all this chaos and confusion dumped in its lap.

Charlotte Bierce – The Re-publican victory won't save the nation, but it will be a swing back to conservatism. The big test will come in the presidential election in '48. This Republican landslide should renew some faith in the country.

JIM LAFKY - There will be little, if any change in foreign policy unless it might possibly become more clarified. The Re-publican party is not necessarily anti-labor, but is not as sympa-thetic with labor as is the Demo-cratic party. Consequently, there is a chance that strong anti-labor legislation may be enacted by the new Congress. They will also undoubtedly slash governmental spending.

Morey Morsels by Jo Richardson

"The Time has come," the walrus said, "to talk of many things. Of `nullo' and finals and girls with rings."

Any one who is in need of you-know-what join the birthday club. Sandy and Donna are flashing new gold pieces t.s a result of Morey generosity.

Haven't you noticed the sagging of the springs on the left couch in the parlor?, Millie Hoffman says that as long as she pays such good 'rent for it, she guesses she can sub-lease it to whom she pleases, she guesses — 0. K., Kid.

Dorie, Doni, and Millie Holliday donned fluffy formals to attend the prom given over on the hill. We just have to let the outside world know what pretty girls reside in Morey.

And then we all sympathize with the poor girl who took her clothes to the wrong cleaners and ended up with 200 percent wool garments (size 15 shrunk to size 7). Just call me "the walking good neighbor policy." Midge has composed another grand concerto. She and Blue Boy

(no wonder she's taken such an interest in art) beat out a funeral boogie each night until Mrs. G. puts a halt to their pounding.

Well, if you see anyone looking for a little kid that resembles me, tell them I'm down in Rosie Hallisy's room helping her pick the leaves out of her wig.

Happy finals — I hope I'll be seeing ya' next quarter.

Shepard Serenade by Jean and Mars

Death stalked second floor Monday. A scaly cloud hung over the hall. Fitzgibbon has joined his ancestors in the misty pools of death. There were no sons or no daughters. He was survived only by his wife, Martha Goldfish. Present at the funeral, which was held in the social center on second, were his guardians, Carol Quinn and Ruth Kadas, from whom salty tears flowed voluminously. As with the turn of a handle, "Fitzie" was washed down the soil pipe with great pomp and ceremony. This room of the suite was closed for two days while due honor and respect were paid. The only inscription on the wooden cover was "Here lies Fitzgibbon. May he float in peace." Speaking of rat races. During M.E.A. Irene Kirsch had a narrow

escape with a roaming rodent who tried to- gain entrance to her boudoir. The percentage of goldband boys on the campus may be high, but

judging from the epidemic of diamonds and proposals on third, the younger married crowd will soon be increased. And then there are those who live for Sadie Hawkins' day!

Thought for the day: Whoever suggested finals after Thanksgiving must have a guilty conscience or hardening of the "hearteries."

I jump for glee. I jump for joy. 'Cuz I was here before Kilroy.

athCc(0 to Ptati? You might think it trite if I wrote an editorial

about the Pilgrims and their first Thanksgiving. You might frown if I wrote that we are thankful for the war's end, and say that is a subject far too over-worked. But what right have you to call trite the emotions of other people? Can you call it trite that some will have yet another Thanksgiving din-ner by courtesy of their nation's armed forces? That some aren't alive to give thanks? Is that trite? I paged through a magazine recently, only to

lay it quickly aside because it depicted so many of the horrors of the war's aftermath. I think of it now with a guilty conscience. I remember seeing the picture of a Chinese waif, sitting by a pile of refuse. I imagine he was, in his child's way, thanking God for the meal he intended to salvage from the refuse pile. Another child was shown sitting on a heap of debris, wailing the loss of family and home. Too often it is those who have the least who are the most appreciative.

Would you call it trite, if tomorrow we bow our heads in prayer to thank God for the table spread before us and to add a prayer for those less fortu-nate than ourselves? These things are trite to those who have their emotions locked within them-selves and are afraid to admit that someone has said what they could not. Don't be one of those who are afraid to pray. Take a mental inventory of the many things for which you are thankful.

Student Opinion — At Ease!

The story is told of two Chinese gentlemen who were engaged in a heated and spirited argument. A passing tourist stopped to listen and finally asked his guide why one of the gentlemen didn't strike the other and settle their differences once and for all. The guide replied, "Oh, sir, the man who strikes first admits his ignorance and defeat in the argument."

This story could be well applied to the Student Association meeting which was held last week. To the students who are interested in this college and its functions there appeared to be a definite lack of courtesy, respect, cooperation, common sense, and school spirit on the part of a large number of those present. Those of us who are veterans will have to accept the greater part of the responsibility for the disorderly meeting because the booing, whistling, shouting, stamping, and childish remarks origi-nated with the veterans. The fact that many of us were on the other side of

the pond and experienced some pretty rough days does not give us a license to come back to college or any other place with a chip on our shoulder and an utter disregard for the rights and privileges of others, and to try to remodel everything that we don't like to our own tastes. There are still cer-tain fundamental courtesies and rules of conduct which must be observed in our college and our society. Remember, veterans, that although a large portion of our population was in the military service, a much larger portion of it was not, and for us to think that we can do as we please without regard for others is utter foolishness on our part. We as an organized group of veterans can do this college a great deal of harm, but we can also do it a much greater amount of good if we will only stop and consider for a moment.

If there are things going on here that we don't like, the way to change these conditions is not by rabble rousing and mob rule such as we so aptly demonstrated last week. There are much more ef-fective means at our disposal and that is the main purpose of the Student Association. We'll never achieve anything if we go about with the attitude that everyone is against us and that the faculty and administration are trying to stifle everything we seek to do. The minute we start bucking the admin-istration we might as well throw in the towel as far as gaining anything is concerned. Antagonizing people never puts them in an acquiescent frame of mind. However, if we present our requests to the administration in a business like manner through the Association, invariably we shall get favorable results. Those of us who were here before the war

have seen it work. If we hold another Student Association meeting such as we held last week and continue to proceed along our present course, you can bet the bottom dollar of your subsistence check, if it ever gets here, that our efforts to achieve anything beneficial to the student body will be thwarted at every turn. Pandemonium and hullaballoo are substitutes for intelligence, but they are extremely poor ones. Remember, students before us worked long and diligently to build what we have here at present. We are on the verge of tearing down everything that they have built.

Let's think it over, fellows, and make our next meeting a success.

Everyone wondered for a long time why Tom Kunz shaved and shined before going over to the library to study. Now they know; he's carrying five subjects: English, history, social science, phy-sical science, and Rosie. Blue Boy studies too. Kirby-Kirby? Oh yes, he lives here, but nobody

ever sees him anymore. Just call 5552 and ask for Jack. Wonder who he's humming cigarettes from now.

Most of the residents of Ogden are vets, but discharge from the service didn't mean isolation from world affairs for these men. No, sir. Every Tuesday night sees them on duty at the V.F.W. club rooms. Free refreshments, too.

First thing heard in the morning: "Who turned off the radiators?" Last thing heard at night: Mr. Capron's, "All right, men, knock off the chatter."

Now that fall quarter is drawing to a close I suppose that almost everyone has finally swept the cobwebs from his foggy noggin and resigned himself to the fact that chapel attendance is re-quired.

A lot of water has gone down the drain since Lucas got new shower curtains. Mrs. Jackson is so busy teaching school that she hasn't had time to decide whether or not "This is the best bunch of boys we've ever had." (Guess that should have been group, just grapes come in bunches.) Here's one you won't believe — Lucas now has

a smoker. So many fellows either froze to death standing out on the porch or else had noses crushed behind the door when someone opened it unex-pectedly that we decided to take no more chances.

By the way, girls, you've no doubt heard of the Lucas Parties. There probably will be one coming up in the future — refreshments and everything. However, we promise, no peanut butter or potato chips!

All is quiet on the Prentiss front these days. Most of my time, spare time that is, this month has been spent in looking through key holes and over transoms — in Prentiss Lodge, of course. On looking through the first key hole I saw Jim

Thielen, who seemed to be enjoying the finer things of life. He was reading Forever Amber. As I pushed closer to get a better look at the colorful cover, I was bowled over by Bob Courier who bounded down the stairs for parts unknown. Instead of hearing the usual chirpings of birds, I was startled by a blast from the trombone of Arvid Davis.

As I weaved my way back to the second floor I heard voices coming from the corner room. I stuck half my body through the transom, lost my bal6.nce, and fell headlong into the discussion. I was thrown out by "Soup" Winblad; therefore, I have yet to find out whether they were discussing "Swede" Johnson's love life, Rock Boyum's trip to the Cities, "Butch" Nash's snow shoes, or the re-cent crowning of Dan Besser as undisputed king of the sack. In exasperation I retreated to my room to put

my swollen nose on ice and my observations on paper.

Intramurals Begin Here

Heralding the return of large scale basketball competition this year, a strong intramural program has been set up in this sport under the supervision of the In-tramural Board with Athletic Director Glenn E. Galligan pre-siding as chairman.

So enthusiastic was the response to the original call that it was necessary to form 16 teams, each team consisting of 8 men with additions to be made to teams as new players sign up.

The teams consist of two leagues, the American and the National which are named for their equivalents in the national game, baseball.

Two games for each team have been arranged to be played in the next two weeks, preliminary to

Athlete's Feats by Wayne Kannel

Well, the gridders have packed away their moleskins and now the cagers have donned their trunks and jerseys and are cavorting upon the hardcourt eagerly striving to earn a place on the team which will open its home season here December 6th against the Harlem Globe Trotters. The most that can be said right now for the bucket shooters is that they are a very spirited bunch and that there are possibilities. As for the past football season, South America, take it away.

Get Seats Early Those of you who plan to attend the basketball games scheduled

for the local high school gym, should try to have some arrangement made by which the balcony seats could be reserved for the student body,. Otherwise, you'll be sitting in the auditorium section, which isn't exactly what we'd call a good vantage point.

"Buck" Fever Rampant Some of the fellows have been trying to create interest in organiz-

ing an interscholastic 'Buck" card playing league. Seems as though this intellectual game has taken the Student Union by storm. Ac-tually, when such enthusiastic "Buckmen" as Dick Traxler and Tom Qualy get together in a game, it doesn't resemble a card game at all. When these two play, it's a battle to see which one can cave in the table top first.

Don't Miss Intramurals The year's intramural program for basketball is going to provide

many thrills and spills by the looks of the various squad rosters and by listening to the conversation around the halls. We heard one squad leader, who is a married man by the way, try to trade one of his members off for a piece of steak and a box of Rinso. These games will be open to the public, and the fellows really appreciate it if you come out and watch them strut their stuff.

The basketball team boasts a State Tournament experienced player. "Soup" Winblad played with Red Wing High School in the State Tour-ney. "Soup" is just as speedy in the cage games as he was on the grid-iron.

Tough Luck, Lind Don Lind, promising candidate from Mabel, was the victim of a

GAGERS CAPTURE SPOTLIGHT Globe Trotters

First Home Game Twenty-two cage aspirants, of

an original turnout of 81 hopefuls who tried out, are drilling daily under Head Coach Luther Mc Cown in preparation for the sea-son opener at Eau Claire T. C. December 4.

Prominent on the list are four lettermen of recent Ped teams: Wayne Kannel, three year letter- man; Chas. (Sonny) Dahl, all conference selection in 1945; "Virg" Clausen, second high scorer in the T. C. Conference last year and Charley Reps, for- mer Lewiston High School star. A number of outstanding area

high school greats are included in the group, and their status will be determined by future drills and scrimmages. At present there is no varsity team and the fight for positions is wide open depend-ing upon form shown in practices.

Present prospects are not too bright due to the fact that none of the boys have played together as a team before. There is also a definite lack of height on the squad.

The Warriors first home game will bring a nationally featured colored team, the original New York "Famous Globe Trotters" to play the McCownmen at the Winona Senior High School gym on December 6.

Numbered among the attrac-tions of this team are outstand-ing trick-shot artists and ball handlers including reputedly "the world's tallest basketball player," a 7' 6" giant. The pre-holiday season will

close with another home game at the high school gym December 17 versus River Falls Teachers' Col-lege.

The '13" Team will play a number of games tentatively set with Rochester J. C., Mankato Teachers' College, and St.Marys as preliminaries to the varsity clashes. Outstanding area prep teams may also be scheduled.

Members of the squad besides the lettermen are : Wilbur Win-blad, Robert Bacon, Bob Cram, Dick Elliot, Gerald Sylvester, Lyle Iverson, Dick Holmberg, John Moynihan, Marty Beyers, Wayne Nash, Don Judd, Richard Rostvold, Neil Morem, Harold Hanson, Everett Mueller, Don Carpenter, Robert Crotty, Bob Larson, Eugene Boyum, and Don Lind.

Lind, twice chosen all Dis-trict One guard at Mabel High School, has been lost to the squad for the early part of the season because of an appendectomy.

It is hoped that his recovery will allow him to return to action at some time during the season.

Concert Artists

To Be Presented

In Near Future Vera Appleton and Michael

Field, young American duo-pia-nists, to be presented Wednesday evening, December 4, at Somsen Hall auditorium, will be the second Community Concert pro-duction of this season.

Both were students of Carl Friedberg at Juilliard, and while studying they decided to team up on the air. Radio listeners deluged the network to give them first prize in a boardcast contest. For some time following Juilliard graduation the pianists separated to follow their individual careers. Then, in the summer of 1943, they met by chance in New York City, then decided to try over their old two piano works. Real-izing that their playing had im-proved and merited professional union, they joined artistic forces and just four months later made their Town Hall debut.

Town Hall recitals each year since, concerts throughout the United States and numerous network radio performances tes-tify to the engaging musicianship these young artists project.

Appleton and Field are among the few artists who have been systematically re-engaged for the following season after nearly every concert.

Students Enjoy Unusual Party

'Lil Abners and Daisy Maes turned out to celebrate Sadie Hawkin's Day, November 8, at 8:30 in Dogpatch, formerly Som-sen Hall. The girls gathered at Dogpatch at 8:15 to plot the chase in the Sadie Hawkin's Day race. A program, group singing, and movies were held in the audi-torium, with games, dancing, and refreshments following.

Arlene Glarner won the prize for catching her Lil Abner first, after the boys were given a three minute start to hide anywhere in Dogpatch.

Arrangements were made by Doris Westergaard, Appleton; Pat Walch, Plainview; Bernice Wadekamper, Faribault; Donna Charlson, Kenyon, and Miss Pederson, dean of women.

Minne Views Race Problem

First hand observations of ra-cial discrimination as it exists in Georgia were made by Dr. Nels Minne when he attended the clinic on education there recently.

Dr. Minne pointed out that the entire social and economic structures of Georgia are bi-racial, as in most southern states. He said that this applies to the school system as well.

Dr. Minne noted that prepara-tions and qualifications for teach-ing in Negro schools are consid-erably lower than those required for teaching in white schools. He added that the pay scale for teachers of the lower level is a minimum of $63 for whites, while it is $48 for Negro educators.

"I was impressed by the indi-viduals who are administrators and supervisors at the highest educational level of the state sys-tem among colored peoples," he said.

His explanation of this state-ment was that professional op-portunities, such as doctors and lawyers, provided to the colored People of the south are limited. "Those of the highest educa-tional level are more apt to go into teaching than any other profession," he added. He pointed out that school teach-ing offers the best means for the Negro to become recognized so-cially.

Dr. Minne explained that the Georgia State Department of Education provides more super-vision relatively than Minnesota does.
