VOLUME XXVI. CONCORDIA COLLEGE, MOORHEAD, MINtf., FRIDAY, MARCH 8, 1935. Mft- NO. 20 Cobber Edition Is Rated Among Few Triennials Four Minnesota Liberal Arts Colleges Edit Annuals, Four, Biannuals PRESS UNIT GIVES FACTS Concordia Publication Is Begun Daring Academy Days In 1920 The Cobber, Concordia student ''year-book," is one of only half a dozen tri-ennials In colleges and universities of the United States, according to figures released this week by the National Scholastic Press Association. The figures were given in response to a request by the Concordian, a member of the asso-ciation. More than 200 annuals are entered in the college section of the press asso-ciation, a few biennials, and practically no triennials, according to information furnished by Mr. Fred L. Kildow, pro-fessor of journalism at the University of Minnesota, and director of the associa-tion. A tentative check over records in regard to colleges outside of the as-sociation show that there are probably not more than half a dozen triennials in colleges all over the country, he said. Four Publish Annuals Information is immediately available in regard to eight Minnesota liberal arts colleges, in addition to Concordia. Four of these—Macalester, Gustavus Adolphus, Augsburg, and Hamline— publish biannuals, while four—St. Olaf, Carleton, St. Catherine's, and St. Tho-mas— produce annuals. Concordia is the only one not to put out a "ye£u— book" at least once every two years. Concordia's publication was begun back in 1920, according to available records, before the college was fully accredited, and at the time that an aca-demy department was still maintained. With the passing of the academy, and then with the full accreditation of the four-year college in 1925, the publica-tion remained as a triennial, instead of being changed to a biannual, which is much more suited to the four-year scheme of things. Expense Is Considered While Concordia's "year-book" has remained a triennial all of its days, changing only in name from "Scout? to "Cobber," students at other colleges hav» found even a bi-annual unsuited to requirements in some cases. A number of colleges have changed from bi-annual to annual in recent years, finding that the latter is the most lo-gical book for most colleges. Hie bi-annual remains, however, particularly where it is felt that the expense of publishing a book annually is too great. Students To Elect Concordian Staff Haugseth, Evanson to Run For Editorship at Polls Tuesday A slate of candidates for the Concor-dian staff election to be held Tuesday has been submitted for approval by a student committee to the Literary Board and the student body. Margaret Haugseth, Twin Valley, and Edmondc Evanson, Battle Lake, are listed as candidates for the office of editor-in-chief. Other nominations in-clude: managing editor, Ruth Eidsaa, Fargo, and Ralph Related, TJhief River Falls; business manager, Norman Wal-lin Stee.e, N. D., and Sterling Rygg, Fairdale, N. D.; advertising manager, Clifford Peterson, Little Fork, and Nick Matthees, Goodhue; circulation manager, Joel Moe, Galesburg, N. D., and Otto Lutncss, Enderlin, N. D.; cir-culation assistants, Melford Bruer, Al-berta, Robert Jorgenson, Blackduck, and Carlyfe Holte, Upham, N. D.; ad-vertising assistants, Sidney Rand, Rothsay, Burton Smith, Kennedy, Ken-neth Hillier, Hoople, N. p., and Man-ford Knudsvig, Audubon. The nominating committee consisted of one representative from each of the four classes, two from the Student Forum, and three from the Concordian staff. Class representatives on the committee were Palmer Tang, Ralph Fjelstad, Ove Branford, and Stanton Thorson. Delta Rho to Hold Banquet for Pledges Members of the Delta Rho literary society will hold a banquet Thursday evening at the Waldorf hotel In Fargo.

Nordlie, head of the history department, Concordia college, has announced plans to conduct a party on n tour of seven European countries this summer. Mr. Nordlie spent the greater part of last summer in Europe, at which time he went over the route planned for this year's expedition. The party is scheduled to leave New York, June 12, on the Cunard White Star liner, Majestic and will return to the United States the latter part of July. Landing in Cherbourg, France, the group will visit Paris and Ver-sailles, then go through Belgium, through Namur and Liege, the route of the German invading armies in 1914. In Germany the cities of Aix-la-Cha-pclle, Cologne, Berlin, Potsdam, Wit-tenberg and others will be visited. One day will be spent in Copenha-gen, Denmark, and then the tourists will travel through western Sweden into Oslo, Norway, the end of the out-ward trip. After a week in Norway, the party will sail from Bergen on July 11, the same day that the Concor-dia college band is expected to arrive there. The last stage of the journey will take the group through the length of England from Newcastle to Southamp-ton, with a stay of several days in Lon-don, embarking on the Berengaria, July 17, and arriving in New York the 24th. The group plans to visit Washington D. C, on their return journey from New York.

Committees, cooperation of docks, bell system in dormitories typified sug-gestions made to the Inquiring Repor-ter as he sounded out the student body as to its reaction to system of clocks around Concordia. Several of the students view incon-sistency of clocks in a humorous atti-tude while others condemned time-pieces as causing tardiness to classes. Merrill Pederson, junior: "The Londis made Frick dock in the main Is all right All it needs is somebody to fix t and make it keep right time. It's usually fast and 7:40's come around too soon for both professors and students." Robert Stroup, sophomore: "More strict adherence to naval observatory time both by the college docks and students would be more acceptable." Sidney Rand, freshman: "There should be more cooperation between the clocks at Concordia. Freckles could make a coat of tan if they'd get togeth-er. It wouldn't matter if they were ill wrong just so they'd all be wrong together.* Rachel Johnson, senior: "All the docks should be set back five minutes. Would-n't have to get up as early, make all my classes on time. Dormitory clock should be slower—at night." Eleanor Harris, sophomore: "In this day and age of committees perhaps we should have also a clock committee— its duty being to see that all docks have the correct time and that teachers and students abide by them." Otto Bratlie, junior: "They should have a dock in the halL They ought 'o coordinate the movements of the clock in the chapel and the one In the office, also affiliate the two with west-ern union time. They should have a bell system over to the dormitories."

Sidney Rand, freshman: "There should be more cooperation between the clocks at Concordia. Freckles could make a coat of tan if they'd get togeth-er. It wouldn't matter if they were ill wrong just so they'd all be wrong together.* Rachel Johnson, senior: "All the docks should be set back five minutes. Would-n't have to get up as early, make all my classes on time. Dormitory clock should be slower—at night." Eleanor Harris, sophomore: "In this day and age of committees perhaps we should have also a clock committee— its duty being to see that all docks have the correct time and that teachers and students abide by them." Otto Bratlie, junior: "They should have a dock in the halL They ought 'o coordinate the movements of the clock in the chapel and the one In the office, also affiliate the two with west-ern union time.
