Cobbers Invite Parents in Observance of Mother's Day Student Forum Arranges For ProgTa'm in Chapel; Tea In Ladies Hall Officials Disclose Band Itinerary Of Norway Tour Normands-Forbundet Sponsors Trip for Concordia Band men BAND TO APPEAR IN OSLO Thirty Concerts Are Scheduled For Group in Norway This Season All-College Play To Be Given In Auditorium This Evening (This Ls the fourth in a scries of articles presented by the Concor-dia News Bureau for the Concor-dian on the forthcoming Norway Tour of the Concordia Band.) In observation of Mother's Day an invitation to visit the campus Sunday has been extended by the college to the parents of members of the student body. Arrangements for a program to be presented in the college chapel at 2:30 in the afternoon have been made by a committee of the student forum con-sisting of Rachel Johnson, Grand Forks, N. D.; Myra Reinertsen, Moor-head; Doris Simmons, Oakes, N. D.; and Mildred Iverson, Moorhead. This innovation has been preceded in prior years by the entertaining of only mothers of the women of the col-lege. This year the invitation was ex-tended to both parents of every stu-dent, thus developing it into a Par-ent's Day. North Hall, Ladies Hall, and the men's dormitory will have open house to all parents during the afternoon. The program to be presented in the chapel Sunday afternoon will consist of a musical number by the Little Symphony orchestra; News Flashes by Edmonde Evanson; Concerto (Tschai-kowsky) played by a piano-organ en-semble composed of Miss Clara Duea at the organ, and Miss Edna Hector and Marian Sorben at pianos; a hu-morous reading by Agnes Olson; a flute by Donald Berglund; a number by the Concordia Choir; and the sing-ing of the Hymn to Concordia by the audience will conclude the program. Following the program coffee will be served in Ladies Hall. Mrs. Cleve To Head Women's League Mrs. Frank Cleve was elected presi-dent of the Women's League for the coming year at a meeting held Mon-day evening at the home of Mrs. H. C Nordlie. Other officers elected were: vice-president, Mrs. E. Olson; secre-tary, Mrs. C. M. Langkammerer; and treasurer, Miss Agnes Ellingson. An auditing committee .was chosen composed of Mrs. C. E.

This concert in the capital city of the kingdom is expected to provide an ex-cellent debut opportunity for the band. It is expected that many government and Normands-Forbundet officials will be in attendance. The band then moves on to Elverum for an afternoon concert July 14, and on to Hamar for an evening appearance. July 15 the schedule brings the band to Gj0vik and the following day to Lillehammer.

Each society is allowed one entry. Ail orations are original composi-tions limited to ten minutes on any topic. Usually there ore two divi-sions in declamations for the girls— humorous and serious—although last year selections were all in the hu-morous section. Awards are presented to the so-cieties winning, in the form of trav-eling trophies, a plaque in oratory and a loving cup for declamations. Judges and entries are as yet in-definite. Last year Bernard Gravdal, Mon-damin, won the oratorical contest with his original address, "Moses, Servant and Master," and Delores Osen, Lambda Delta Sigma, placed first in the humorous declamatory division with "Humoresque."

Be Ready To Autograph Your Friends' Cobbers Next Week Pi Kappa Delta Admits Five New Members Five new members will be installed in Pi Kappa Delta, national honorary debate society, at the official installa-tion ceremonies in chapel next week. Those applying for membership are: Lucile Oehlke, Enderlin, N.D.; Burton Smith, Kennedy; Alford Setness, Park River, N. D.; and Dorothy Holm, Dil-worth. An official membership card for Olaf S.

The annual dinner will be held as one of the features of the commence-ment activities this spring. "Yawsah! You're about the 11th Johnson that has signed my Cobber, guess I'll start with the Pederson's next"—"Oh, what will I scribble in this one"—"Lemme borrow your pen." —Thanks!—Next?" Yes, folks, it's coming up—the 1935 Cobber, and let me tell you,—"Collos-sal, stupendous, superb,—" or any other such insipid adjectives have no place in the description of this fine edition bound in maroon leatherette with a modernistic gold design that you'll be the proud possessor of about the 15th of this month. Just a few days left, Cobbers, and the day will be here when you can peak into that tri-colored, maroon, gold and black, opening section and gasp to your heart's delight. And without pulling yourself down to earth, thumb a few pages more, and there you have before you beautiful scenic plaques of our campus. Yes siree! Even Proxy's Pond—(minus the blankets). And by the way, some of these Cob-bers who have transposed these lec-tures into lullabys, and consequently fall asleep upon entering the room and getting settled, they might look at the large individual pictures of the mem-bers of our faculty—connect names and faces—find out who they are taking courses from—! Naturally our music department has Its place, and a special feature here is the Norway Concert Band. Our speedily developing athletic de-partment is portrayed by startling ac-tion photography, showing informal poses of individual athletes. But wait till your eager eyes rest upon the absolutely new high point of interest in the 1935 Cobber, the maga-zine section, set up in modern maga-zine form. Never before have you seen such interesting portrayals of charac-ter; or read such brilliant humorous word pictures that will make you laugh in spite of yourself. Why, even a glance here and there at the tantaliz-ing informal snapshots of campus life, and choir, and band trips will make you smile and weep, and wish "them days back again." Short stories also have their place in this section. Write-ups, clever modernistic draw-ings, advertising—the whole set-up is just what you've hoped for, and it takes Cobbers like Bob Korstad, Ever-ett Gilbertson, Merlin Rostad, Otto Bratlie, Rolf Daehlin, and Eunice Plann to bring the 1935 Cobber in just such style. The "Cobber Cubicle", where many a trying hour has been spent, is actually going to look as spic and span as a band box by next week when you dash up there with your nickels and dimes that you have been hoarding and become owner of this illustrious edition about the middle of next week. O.K. folks! Fill your fountain pen. You're going to use it plenty from now on! Let's see you with a Cobber un-der your arm next week!!! Alpha Psi Omega presents its annual spring all-college play in the auditor-ium this evening al 8 oclock. The comedy in five acts, "As You like It/' is an exceptional production written by one of the world's greatest dramatists, William Shakespeare. The cast, under the direction of Mrs. Norma Gooden Ostby, is composed of sixteen characters — twelve men and four women—plus many courtiers, for-esters, and ladies in attendance. Agnes Haugan is student director. Roles Are Balanced The play in its entirety is weU bal-anced with nearly all the characters having equal roles. Doris Simmons, Oakes, N. D-, plays the leading femi-nine role in the character of Rosalind, and Gerald Lygre, Glendive, Mont., portrays the character of Orlando. Other characters include: Celia, Rosalind's best friend, as played by Mildred Swanson; Duke Frederick, as played by Jack Davis; the banished Duke, Sidney Rand; Oliver, Orlando's elder brother, Harold Brown; Adam, an old servant, Alford Setness; Touch-stone, a jolly jester, Donald Boccus; Jacques, a melancholy philosopher, Ralph Fjelstad; Charles, the wrestler, Sterling Rygg. Amiens will be played by Manford Knudsvig; LeBeau, George Ericson; William, Glenn Enger; Sylvius, Norman Scheide; Corin, George Bric-son; Jacques DeBois, Bernard Grav-dal; Pohebe, Agnes Olson; Audrey, Beulah Johnson ;ladies, Affie Highland, Marjorie Heltne; courtiers and fores-ters, Curtis Strand, Melford BSruer, Glenn Enger; quartet, Norman Scheide, Bernard Gravdal, Manford Knudavig, and Ralph Fjelstad. Pcttit Is Stage Manager Stage management is under tke di-rection of John Pettit. The business manager is Clifford Peterson. Costum-ing and scenery play a major role in the play—they lend that Elizabethan touch to the plot that only original presentation could do. The drama is world famous. lines from the play are quoted the world over. Rosalind and Orlando have speeches that have merited great re-nown as truly descriptive of the mod-ern era. Jacques brings out the popu-lar words, "All the world's a stage, etc." "To see is to believe." To catch a two-hour glimpse of elaborate sceoery, loquacious wit, ironic sarcasm, sophis-ticated pride, humble rustic humour is to see England and its life as only Shakespeare could picture i t Then wiH the minds of the attentive audience be forced to believe in the versatility of that age, as well as in the versatility of modern performance. Play Scenes Are Given in Chapel Two Missionaries Speak to Stu-dents at Convocation Exercises Sermonettes by two guest speakers and college faculty, and a presentation of scenes from the all-college play, *Aj You like It," comprised the chapel programs for the week. The cast of "As You like It" by Shakespeare was introduced to our student body in chapel today. In ad-dition, the first scene of the first act and part of the third act were pre-sented. Thursday, the Rev. C. B. Ylviaaker spoke on 1 Cor., 15:35-28. He showed the scientific proofs of Christ** reeur-rection. Verses from Psalm 65 formed the basis of the address of the Rev. W. T. Schmidt Wednesday. These passages express the psalmist's faith in the providence of God, which has been los-ing its foothold in the scientific world today. The foothold is being lost be-cause the scientist claims to be able to explain rain, sunshine, and all matter in a natural way. A guest speaker, the Rev. Peter Konsterlie, missionary to China, spoke on Isaiah 44:17 Tuesday. He developed hla talk about two questions: "What has idolatry done to the Chinese?" and "What does the gospel of Jesus Christ do to and for the Chinese?" Chapel services on Monday were conducted by the Rev. G. Torvik, for-mer missionary to Madagascar. He spoke on the digging of wells on that island, where drinking water is scarce.
