Ivers, '2ti Fargo physician who completes one year's service as the Alumni association president tcday. Hailing from Abercrombie, N. D., a fort rich in Indian relies, Dr. Ivers wai afforded at an early age the uiiusua opportunity to become acquainted with old guns and muskets. During the past few years these items have received his special attention and interest. In his gun collection Dr. Ivers ha included an old Norwegian gun. This Is more than 50 years old and typical d the kind employed by Viking tribes-men in overcoming forthcoming north-ern bears. One carbine in his collection wa used in the Civil war by a farmer who now resides near Walcott. N. D. Some of the guns in his possession were manufactured by the Massachusctt, arsenal during the period 1851-84. Another object of interest in the col-lection is the revolver which was the weapon of a western prairie "tough guy". The gun was reported snatched from the owner as he lay dying from a desperate gun fight. Besides having a great interest in old muskets, Dr. Ivers derives pleasures in seeing his tropical fish swimming around in an aquarium. But it ap-pears that even tropical fish can't en. dure our summer heat, for he says "It got some of them down". In his "pep-pap" workshop he pro-duces wood carvings ranging from small images to modernistic fire place mantels. While he was in college, he began a collection of old coins which he has increased in the late years. Re-cently1 he acquired dental and medica implements used in Norway. Graduating with a major in mathe-matics and a minor in chemistry, Ivers taught school one year. He attended Rush Medical schcol in Chicago, and served as interne at St. John's hospital in Fargo and Los Angeles County hos-pital. Since that time he has been practicing in Fargo and in his spare minutes has been increasing his collec-tion of guns, coins, Norwegian kettles spinning wheels, tropical fish, and woodcarvings.

Investigation Proves Alpha Kappa Chi Oldest Literary Society On Cob Campus "Rushing'1 on Concordia college cam-pus is older than the oldest society we have at the present time. In delving into the past of the Alpha Kappa Chi society which is this year celebrating its 20th anniversary, many things of interest were found. Way back in the early days of Ccn-cordia when there were only two so-cieties on the campus, namely Pericle-sian and Chrysostom, competition was keen and rushing was both legal and prevalent. These societies were made up of mixed groups of the entire stu-dent body which included academy and college students. Conditions weren't altogether satis-factory to the girls of the Periclesian society, so in 1916 in the spring term, they withdrew to form the first girls' society. This society was called "Ac-roama." It consisted of girls of all de-partments of the college and academy. Another change came in September of 1916 when the girls of college rank withdrew from "Acroama" to fonn a society of their own with Miss Emma Norbryhn as adviser and honorary member. Miss Norbryhn from her knowledge of Greek, suggested the name Alpha Kappa Chi which means Good and Useful. Quoting from the 1919-1920 Scout, "Those were days of experiment, but then were laid the foundations upon which has later been built a club whicl has become noted for its originality o programs and entertainments." The charter members were: Martha Brennun, Mae Anderson, Alette Jah-rtn, Helen Adams, Anna Gletne, Kora Haugen, Anna Hagen, Marie Olscn Agatha Madsen, Gladys Larson, Char-lotte Larson, and Frances Tillotson.
