Cobber Women To Give Musical Program Saturday Tryouts For Fall Play To Continue Today, Saturday Tryouts for the all-college play, "The Merchant of Venice," which began yesterday will continue today and to-morrow, Mrs. Norma Gooden Ostby, dramatic director, announced this morning. The cast, composed of twelve men and six women, will be announced next week together with the names of student director, stage manager, and business manager. Costumes will come from Minneapolis. "The Merchant of Venice" will be produced in the college chapel No-vember 20. There is a possibility of a second performance to be given No-vember 21. In speaking of the production, Mrs. Ostby said, "After the favorable com-ment on 'As You Like It,' which was given at Concordia two years ago, we are encouraged to attempt something more ambitious among the Shakespear-ean dramas. For some three hundred years the character of Shylock has been regarded as one of the greatest favorite role of many great actresses." "The play is the great tragedy of re-venge; that is, how a man motivated by revenge became warped in charac-ter. It also reflects something of the unfavorable attitude toward the Jews in Shakespeare's day. "I believe the entire play has not been produced in Fargo or Moorhead since play-goers saw Maud Adams and Otis Skinner enact it at the Orpheum several years ago." /Pray For Others' Is Advice of Stolee •ma In Second Lecture "For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord: and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake." 2 Cor. 4:5. This was the key verse chosen by K the Rev. H. J. Stolee at the Bible lecture Tuesday evening. He explain-ed the verse by pointing out that any worker in the church who is a chris- -*lan worker is not a "hired" man but • servant of God. He is there to serve the people and does not need the peo-ple to serve him. , u The Rev, Mr. Stolee warned to guard against the thought that we are such {food Christians that we are not liked. It may be that you are anything but a 'model Christian. "Cultivate the habit of praying for others," the Rev. Mr. Stolee continued, "but watch against praying with a *'* ^holier than thou* attitude." * Calendar . . .

Evening Benefit Performance Will Be Given in College Auditorium "Has anyone a red bandanna hand-kerchief? May I borrow your pink formal? Where can I get a pair of baby shoes?"

California Sun, Idaho Snow, Earthquake Bring New Cobbers The 15 transfer students at the col-lege, hail all the way from California to Canada, and from Wisconsin to Montana. En route to Concordia, Helen Ben-son, former University of Idaho coed, enjoyed the initial snowball fight of Lemke In the Campaign or America's Union Party Will Win There is an air of confidence about the man. He seems absorbed in the accomplishment of a task. That task is his election to the of-fice of president on the Union par-ty ticket The man is William Lemke, Congressional representa-tive of North Dakota. Representative Lemke, Tuesday evening, addressed a radio audi-ence of the three states he feels most confident of carrying—Minne-sota, North and South Dakota. After the broadcast the candidate confided that he felt that the bat-tleground of this election lies in the states of Massachusetts, Penn-sylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Wiscon-sin, and Hinols. In these slates the representative feels he has a fine chance of securing a plurality. He pointed out that one straw poll in Cincinnati gave him 70 per cent of the votes cast Assuming the role of prophet he forecast that the Union party will receive over a million votes In New York state. But Representative Lemke's real hope in this election Is not a victory in the electoral college over his op-ponents— the "gold dust twins," as he calls them, but to prevent either candidate from securing a majority of the electoral vote. This will throw the election Into the halls of Congress, where each state will have one, and only one, vote. Mr. Lemke is confident that he can secure the votes of 25 states and thus the election. ("Votes not in-fluenced by the international bank-ers of Wall Street.1*) Leaving politics, Congressman Lemke gave this advice to youth In choosing its vocation: "No matter what vocation you enter, remember this—there are two kinds of greed, that which is personal desire for property and power and that which Is a burning desire to perform a public service." There is no doubt when one has met the man that his desire to at-tain the presidency is not a per-sonal greed for power, but a desire to perform s public service for which he sees a need—A. F.

Concordia Gets Her Goat As College Forces Off- Campus Per By BEULAH FRITCH The Cobbers are a motley crowd, but did you ever expect to find a goat among them—a little white bewhisker-cd nanny-goat with big serious green eyes and a menacing pair of horns? Anyone within seeing distance of the main or within hearing distance of the campus Saturday morning would have been surprised and amused to see a determined goat vigorously, but vainly, trying to enter college. She probably was a sophomore, at any rate a sophomore in goat's cloth-ing. She couldn't have been a fresh-man because she had no green cap. Besides, we saw her eyeing some local fresh's fresh-air taxi in the same tone of voice that Wimpy eyes a hambur-ger. The said frosh hurriedly moved us vehicle out of chewing distance. "Nanny," property of 11-year-old Bobby Roof, 912 7th St So. had decid-ed, proverbially enough, that the grass on this hill looked greener than the grass on his hill. After much persua-sion and tempted with luscious oats, she finally gave up her educational career and docilely followed the oats back home. "Flossy," a white Spitz puppy, Is "Nanny's" closest pal. It is not an uncommon sight to see the white goat and white puppy playing together or sleeping side by side. "Nanny's" favorite dish is that well-known goat-food, the Russian peanut Bobby, though Concordia got his goat, is glad to have her back and commends her on the choice of an alma mater. Even a goat—if she is am-bitious— has the right to so to college.
