COBBERS ATTEND OPERA (Continued from first page) All this is forgotten, and even the music is cast into the background as one follows her through the torture and cruelties unjustly inflicted upon her, her moral decline and back again to her "resurrection" on the vast white plains of Siberia. "Tannhauser" was undoubtedly the most impressive in every respect. As may be expected in a Wagner score, the orchestra was magnificent from the first strain of the glorious over-ture to the final chord, under the direction of Henry Weber, a genius of the baton of twenty-some years. Forrest Lamont, who is to appear May 3, at Concordia, sang the title role, supported by Richard Bonelli as J Wolfram, Elsa Olsen as Eliztbeth, and Augusta Lenska as Venus. The bal-let in the Bachanale was of Deni-shown quality and the more familiar strains such as the Overture, Pelginis Chorus, March to Wartburg, Song to the Evening Star, and Elizabeth's Prayer were multiplied several times in effect by the gorgeous scenic ef-fects. As was said, these operas were giv-en in the Municipal Auditorium. This is an excellent structure, and as a convention hall is probably unequalled. The same cannot be said of it aa a music hall. Although the acoustics are good considering its immense size, one loses that contact with the per-formers on the stage which is half of any performance. Concordia people who attended were: Mrs. Olivial Dahl Ballou, Miss Clara Duea, Miss Margaret Newton, Miss Thelma Hov, Mr. Ernest Van Vlissingen, Mr. Earl Lee and Mr. De-ward Schultz. Chester and Stella Jacobson, *27, of Becker and Evansville respectively, and sister Myrtle of Cyrus were seen on the campus April 2 and 3. Miss Anna Heiberg of Twin Valley visited with Bernice Kirkby a few days preceding the Easter holidays. Miss Bernice Olson of Plaza, N. D. was called home a week before va-cation days, due to illness of her mother. Annetti Thompson of Blackduck, Minn., came to spend her Easter va-ration here with her sister at the col-lege. She returned home with her folks who were also here Saturday and Sunday. Miss Josephine Olson of the Uni-versity of North Dakota and her sis-ter Elize of St. Luke's Hospital vis-ited with their cousin Selma Stone last Sunday. tainment tho Athenians, led by Paul Anderson gave the Alpha Zeta Phi a rousing cheer. READING PRESENTED IN CHAPEL "Thirty Pieces of Silver" by Charles Buddington Kelland, was read by Mrs. Fanny Clapp McEnroe during the Chapel period on Monday, April 2. The theme centered about the guilt of the betrayal of Christ and was in keeping with the Lenten atmosphere. It portrayed the conversion of Mr. Carovan, an ardent advocate of atheism, through the realization of sin ns expressed in those thirty pieces of silver of tainted money. MISSION BAND TO SEND OUT TEAMS THE LAST WEEK OF CHRIST IS THEME OF CHAPEL TALKS The Women's Athletic Association has planned several hikes and a pic-nic breakfast for this spring. Mr. and Mrs. N. J. Lien, of Black Duck returned home April 4, ofter a visit with their daughter Carla. Carla's sister of Aitkin visited with her during the vacation days. Miss Edna Hector will present her piano students in a recital on Friday, April 20. The pupils have been play-ing at piano class held at regular in-tervals throughout the year and on Tuesday evening the class was held in chapel giving the pupils opportunity to prepare for the recital. Rev. and Mrs. S. T. Sorenson en-tertained for the Sunday and Monday School Teachers at the parsonage, on Tuesday evening, March 27. There were about fifty guests. Rev. Sor-enson gave a talk expressing his ap-preciation to the teachers. A delight-ful lunch was served and the evening was spent informally. A number of the alumni devoted a few days of their Easter vacation on the "old stamping ground." Among them were; Ruth Silness of Erskine, Elsie Moe, of Hackensack, Helen Lund of Halstad, Volborg Bjornson of Beck-er, Selma Mundhjeld of Christine and Alice Knudsvig of Steele. Mr. T. L. Rosholt of the Luther-an Brotherhood will speak to the Home Management class on Thursday April 19. His topic will be "Life Insurance in General." This will in-clude the different policies, the mean, ing of insurance terms, and what be-comes of the premium money. The events in the life of Christ dur-ing the week preceding His crucifix-ion formed the basis of the chapel talk delivered by the Rev. J. Walter Johnshoy, on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of Holy Week. He en-deavored to trace these events in con-secutive order, beginning his discus-sion with the Saturday preceding Palm Sunday and concluding with the hight of Holy Thursday. A few of the interesting points made by Rev. Johnshoy during this series of lectures were: 1. The banquet given by Simon the leper for Christ is one of the few instances in the life of Christ in which someone attempted to do something f jr Him and really carried it through t;> completion. 2 Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusalem even on the very eve of impending humiliation and suffering is signifcant of His final victory. 3. On Tuesday of Holy Week the enemies of Christ confronted Him with three questions: a civil question, a religious question, and a legalistic question. Christ met His adversar-ies on their own ground and answered these questions in such a way as to effectively silence them all. 4. Christ's discourses with His disciples during this last week were replete with prophetic uttemess. These prophecies, however, were in-tended primarily to strengthen the disciples during times of trouble, and wore not intended simply to satisfy idle curosity concerning the future. 5. Jesus fulfilled the old covenant until the very last. The celebration by Christ and His disciples of the Feast of the Passover followed by the institution of the Lord's Supper rep-resents the merger of the old and new covenant. Alpha Zeta Phi Enter-tains Athenians Saturday March 31, the Athenians were delightfully entertained by their newly found sisters, the Alpha Zeta Phi, in the Alpha Zeta Phi society room. The room was beautifully ar-ranged. The program was well bal-anced, being both entertaining and instructive. The numbers consisted of songs, musical renditions, readings, and a farce. The following program was pre-sented : Welcome _ Eunice Dale Piano Solo — - -(Peg) Reading Alice Midgarden Piano Solo (Dade) Reading Lillian Elsholtz Farce Pegs - _ Black Jackets In appreciation of the fine enter- The Mission Band organized last fall is now undertaking a new enter-prise— that of presenting programs in nearby towns. The first team to be sent out will go to Lake Park to the Orphan's Home on Sunday, April 15th. Ernest Nybakken is leader of this team, other members of which are Alvin Akre, Sarah Pederson, Hel-en Hatlelid, and Gwendolyn Ogren, Two other teams are preparing to present programs at other homes and at Luther League meetings in various i near by towns. Topics have been se- lected for the program of each team ' to form a subject for the leader's I talks and a theme for the entire pro-gram of music and readings. The members are working on these pres- cntations under the supervision of Rev. C. B. Ylvisaker. Throughout the winter the society i has presented monthly programs at I the Lutheran Home for girls, in Far-go and a Christmas box was sent to this institution. Sunday April 1st, under its auspices the A. E. S. Quar-tet and the Tweeten Sisters Quartet visited the hospitals of the two cities to sing for the patients. At its last regular Sunday morning meeting the Mission Band had as its topic for discussion: "The Sudan Mission." The main report was pre-sented by Nellie Gulbranson who tractd the history and the present nature of conditions in this mission area of central Africa. The general discussion followed. Arthur Wighahl reported concerning the progress be-ing made by the gospel teams. The need and importance of prayer in this undertaking was stressed. The hour was closed with a hearty song-fest. Student Opinion CHAPEL CONDUCT In a recent article of this column, there occurred a student criticism on chapel conduct. Chapel conduct at Concordia is however very commend-able, in my estimation, and I am not able to see in it anything worthy of harsh criticism. Have you ever at-tended chapel at other colleges or universities? I will assure you that they do not surpass nor come near the standard maintained at our Alma Mater. I would further make this appeal to students venturing to write student opinion articles. Why not make your criticism as constructive as possible, rather than entirely des-structive ? N. H. THE ALPHA SOCIETY We hear a great deal about society affairs and events. Every issue of our paper brings news of some elec-tion or important affair. But what of the Alpha Society, the scholastic honor organigation of our school. It seems to be an organization that does not function on the campus. So far only seniors have been admitted and this only a short time before they leave the campus. Their admittance is only one of the many pregrad-uation incidents. They join, then leave school. No one remains to urge lower classmen to work for member-ship. We hear of no benefits or friendships gained through the socie-ty. Yet such friendship could reason-ably be expected to be strong as the members have the same high intel-lectual interests. According to our catolog those who are eligible must have earned at least 85% of all possible honor points at the end of the first semester of the junior year. Does this mean that juniors are eligible? The scholastic honor society ought to make itself better known to the student body. This would be easier if juniors were permitted to join. Or, is the standard so high that those eligible must use all their time in keeping up the rec-ord? Concordia Alumnus Producing Film MY CHURCH IS TITLE OF PRODUCTION Mr. M. D. Dahlen,, who graduated from Concordia College last year and is now a student at the Luther Theo-logical seminary, is now engaged in the production of a series of pictures presenting the organization and ac-tivities of the Norwegian Lutheran Church of America. Mr. Dahlen was an unusually enterprising man while at Concordia and it seems that he still remains so. Mr. Dahlen says that Concordia will have a prominent place in the film. Miss L. in English class: "Give an example of a double negative." R. C: "I don't know none." The Men And The Dormitory The supervision that is admin-istered over the men who room in the Dormitory here at Concordia College is comparatively lenient, and I think that such an arrangement is better than if we should have to be regulat-ed by a lot of monastic regulations. There is such a thing as moral in-itative, and the only way that such an initiative can be developed in any person is to let him exercise his own discretion and his own will power in things relating to his character and personal conduct. Men who are coerc-ed into good behavior and good char-acter usually develop into incubated specimens of Christian men who are unable to uphold their character and good conduct when their artificial walls of conduct are removed from them, because they have had no op-portunity to develop their moral in itiative. If the man who comes to Concordia College has not already STUDENTS When in Fargo don't forget to take your lunches at the— BLUEBIRD MR. A. A. LEE, Prop. {Minneapolis f Good Garage Service \ DR. L. P.

But there is always a chance that we will take advantage of such free-dom as we have here in the Dormitory. There has been ample evidence of this fact throughout the year, in fact, our Dean has been obligated to give us a final warning to the effect that, unless things improve immediately, strict regulations will be enforced to insure proper Dormitory conditions. Fortunately, the men in the Dormitory have improved considerably. The men who room in tho Dormitory want freedom from regulations. The men who roomed here before wanted it and they secured freedom by petition-ing the Dean with the argument that we are men capable of tolerable con-duct; not a bunch of kindergarden kids. Let's live up to that argument and, in that way, preserve the present arrangement of administration in the men's domitory. N. C. H. hand an shaked it an told me haw glad Ivas to seen her back.
