Here's Your Final Chance to Judge AS A FINAL opportunity to secure a comparative view into the various literary societies before formal pledging the first part of March, freshmen and upper-classmen unaffiliated with any society arc urged to attend open house programs during the weeks of February. These programs aim to give the visitors a pros-pectus of the life and ordinary entertainment at the weekly meetings each Saturday. The public program sets forth the abilities of a society along a number of tones; the open house is intended to show the use of this ability and the air accompanying it in the society's atmosphere. Together with the public programs, open houses are recognized as the only methods of legal rushing at Conoordia, and form the exclusive basis for the selec-tion of society connection. The open house offers one of the best possible means whereby the freshman con-sidering pledging can judge the individual merits of each society. THE CONCORDIAN America Offers Tribute To Worthy Britons WITHIN THE LAST few weeks England has lost three of its outstanding men, King George V, Rudyard Kipling, and Sir Arthur Henderson. With the passing of these three men the whole world stops to consider their contributions to the world. King George V, the ruler over 488,000,000 subjects scattered all over the entire world, has been on the throne since 1910 and guided -the British people through the world war. Perhaps the keynote of his success-ful regime has been the democratic manner of rule over his people. ,«.,.» At an early age Rudyard Kipling, one of England s great poets, won highest recognition for his jungle stories and tales of Indian hills. He was still a young man when, in celebration of Queen Victoria's diamond jubilee, he wrote his famous ''Recessional." In the "Recessional" and "When Earths Last Picture Is Paint-ed," he gave the English speaking worlds literary gems that will never die. Even those whose works arc con-sidered immortal, they, too, pass away. Thus Rudyard Kipling enlarged their ranks January 17, when he closed his eyes in immortal sleep. The recent death of Arthur Henderson, president of the General Committee of the World Disarmament conference, was considered a death blow to world dis-armament efforts, For the last several years "Uncle Arthur" had led the statesmen of the world In the crusades for peace and disarmament. The former lay-man preacher was regarded as one of Britain's most respected statesmen. So with the passing of these three men, each a distinguished leader in his own par-ticular field of endeavor, we pause with the rest of the world to pay tribute to their memories. There's More Than One Reason Why Ads Pay NEWSPAPER advertising in the United States is listed as the best of advertising mediums ac-cording to a"survey made of Prof. Thomas F. Barnhart, advertising specialist and associate professor of jour-nalism at the University of Minnesota. In his report, Mr. Barnhart pointed out that adver-tising in the daily papers in the United States amount-ed to $520,000,000 in 1935 marking a five per cent in-crease over 1934. He found that weekly newspapers gained nearly double that amount in the last year. Recently an advertising researcher canvassed 5,000 persons in 21 states and from 122 occupations to find out their attitude towards newspaper advertisements. Eighty-five per cent considered the newspaper adver-tising more reliable than the statements given out by the salesmen- To the question: "Are you misled in your beliefs and purchases by the advertisements in your daily papers?" fifty-nine per cent said "no," eleven per cent said "rarely," twenty-six per cent said "occasionally/' and four per cent said "frequently." With our paper dependent to such a large degree on the advertising each week, why not help us by pa-tronizing those who advertise in the paper, tell them you saw their ad in the Concordian and so help us show them that their advertising pays. According to the statistics of these searchers it looks like a sweeping victory for newspaper advertising to get in touch with the buying public. Cobber Cagers Command Student Acclaim Soli Deo. By MONA SPIELMAN Curiously I watched the painter portray the stu-dent. I had expected a picture of one who has a drawn brow and a look that speaks of one who is not looking at anything but is searching down in deep channels of thought But to my surprise, the student was looking up and beyond without a trace of worry or tired lines- I knew I saw not a radiance, self-manufactured by intelligence, but a light that beamed of the Christ. I thought of Moses with the shining face. This was the student with a vision. About the student I saw a simplicity that reminded me of the child-like faith. I looked at the clean clothing, in its immaculate neatness and though I saw an inward Christ-like cleanliness portrayed. In the background of the student picture I saw a cross in a dark world and I thought of the student's thought, "I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live, yet not I, but Christ that Uveth in me." Around the student the darkness seemed to talk. It told of drowning men with laughing hearts little realizing their end. It told of a flock of professors and all their scholastic crowd crying in a black night, "Who knows? Who knows?" I seemed to hear the student answer, "I know that my Redeemer Uveth." And I saw the student's reply to the call, MWho knows?" I felt his enthusiasm fly out to grasp others, all others. I understood how he was willing to study, to study or do anything for his God and others. His service could know no bounds. Since that I often think of the student picture. Over it in my mind's eye is "Soli Deo Gloria" and in it is "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a work-man that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." SUPPLICATION By ERUNG NICOLAI ROLFSRUD I want to help him, Lord, I do, And be the friend my neighbor needs— But sight of mine is ever short, As is my heart's ambitious goal, For I would spare him pain and grief When bearing it would profit him.

A consistent spirit such as has prevailed in all the games so far despite all seeming overpowering odds is surely worthy of acclaim. During this season were witnessed games that have held the spectators on edge throughout the game, due to the closeness of the contest or the late rally^of the Concordia eager*. They have all been interesting games to watch. , : '",.• •',', However, while the team has given a new vigor to the Cobber spirit, recent games have not always pro-duced the best expression of good sportsmanship on the part of spectators.

But Cobbers, a chain is only as strong as its weakest link, so It Is up to you Individu-ally to maintain that reputation and spirit that have evinced from our team and former student bodies.

Party Politics, AAA, European Fears Make World Go Round Now that the Democratic critics have resigned themselves to mmmi flu tales of a dissatisfied warrior that "revealed more about Smith than anything else" and that the Republicans have assured themselves with secret congratula-tions that "Smith, with charactristic candor and deep feeling, rebuked th« administration's repudiation of party pledges and principles," Mr. Average Citizen has just tasted of the preliminaries in mud-slinging for the coming campaign. In answer to all the Liberty League excitement, the Idaho senator, the Hon, William Borah, whose three score and ten years of seasoning may bungle hi* nominancy, brought out internal G.O.P. defects in his criticism of Smith's pathetic funeral oration for the NeSv Deal emphasizing the turn of the election to a "living platform," not a dead one. But the East was not to stage the entire vaudeville, for the South and West are also holding side shows of their own that may soon rate main performances in Governor Eugene Talmadge, Georgia's newer deal Democrat, Rev. Jonah Smith, a Long disciple, and the Republican "Coolidge of the Mid-west" who all made threats for the nomination's tape with recent sectional party gath-erings. * * * * The AAA isn't anty more and the Supreme Court has ruled that the 200 millions collected in taxes must be returned to the processors. This has aroused a storm of protest from the good ship New Deal as well as evoking statements from many other floating economists.

No provision was made for raising of the needed moneys, but still veterans organizations throughout the country Are pre-paring for a long-waited inflow of cash. The present generation has attained one more requirement necessary to fill the position of a model grandparent. Yes, we can very modestly boast about the weather "back in the good old days of '36." The days which saw the rec-ords that have stood since pioneer days, shattered beyond repair. Our self-complacency is tinged with a touch of regret as we think of the Old Timers deprived of all their "I can remember when" tales about the frigid wintry weather. However, we, the future generation of grandparents, are able to receive a great deal of satisfaction from the an-ticipation of the days in the future. Imagine a chilly winter evening. We will draw up the old leather rocker before a blazing fireplace. Placing son-ny on one arm and sister on the other, we will read our old friend Whittier*s beautiful winter idyl, "Snowbound." With this fitting introduction we will reminisce of the days when winter was really winter, of temperatures plung-ing to an all-time low as the frigid wave roared out of the Canadian north-west, of .the arctic blast which added a sting to the bitter numbing cold. The looks of awe and admiration on the small faces will be an ample re-ward for all our present discomfort So while the mercury goes down let the enthusiasm soar upward—it's all for the good of posterity. From Other Colleges Public Hears State College Broadcasts from Moor head The Alpha Phi Omega, national ser-vice fraternity on the North Dakota State college campus, is sponsoring a series of afternoon radio programs over KGFK, Moorhead. The purpose of these broadcasts is to advertise for the main part the interfraternity sing which will be held May 10, and also to bring in incidental remarks about the col-kota. The appointment is for three years of study at Oxford university in England, the third year of which may be spent at any of the universities on the continent Since bis graduation, Mr. Solberg, whose father is the Rev.

Dimes That Buy Squeaky Whistles, ^ Glass Dolls Transform Seasons Joys ('CONSIDEBA(nONw IS PLEA How often has every student heard from his pro-fessors the suggestion that he should study a bit more? How often has ho received voluminous outlines of work that he might do over the weekend, when he will have "extra time on his hands." A rebellious student might find a few things to be said on the other side: Why don't these teachers and graders do a little more work and do it a little better? There arc a good many of them to whom we would hesitate to give a passing grade if WE were giving the grades. If a student is supposed to spend several hours in preparing a paper, should he not be granted the con-sideration of careful correction and marking? And 1* time spent on examinations all to be written off to the cost of getting a grade? Couldn't the grader spend an Industrious weekend and then give the papers back, ao students could learn from their mistakes? And some of these lecturers! Students have had it drilled into them that they should carefully outline their thoughts to present them in an orderly and understandable fashion. But their teachers aro much too often "un-prepared," and many times students have to sit through a lecture which seems to get absolutely no-where, and which no one could possibly outline. Lectures are supposed to clarify and organize mate-rial, not to furnish an anaesthetic. Students' time has too long been considered the cheapest thing on the campus. A little more work on the other side of the line would often have o greater "marginal utility." . . . Minnesota Dafly, v University of Minnesota, }•'.^t'-\ Minneapolis, Minn. By HANS NELSON We cannot live in the past—we don't want to, but we should reflect upon our experiences, compare them, and profit by our mistakes. Only by so doing can we hope for a brighter future. I must recall to your mind the pre-vacation days of the past few years. Remember how we used to draw names so that each one would be assured of a gift at the annual Christmas party? Oh yes, but unfortunately the Christ-mas spirit was not always in evidence. Evidently some unprincipled fellow would draw a name he disliked and, not being able to trade it for a "bet-ter," would resort to ungentlemanly practices. That was THEN. NOW I wish to take you specifically back to Dec. 23, 1935. Oh, what a dif-ference. I know because it was my good fortune to be asked to help dis-tribute those things that Cobber dimes had purchased to help fill Christmas baskets for the needy. If you had been with us, I am sure you wouldn't ever want to spend another dime for trinkets. Just let us look into one of these places. It wasn't the lowliest, perhaps We stopped in the street and stepped into the biting cold. The two of us carried a parcel under each arm and hurried to the house. ITic front doo was barricaded against the wintry blasts, so we took the path through th snow to the rear, After knocking sev eral times, an old man opened the door surprised that anyone would be out in such weather. Hurriedly expllni inln n<*r rt'jij>: £.c. we st* our tti'dciis o" l.:r floor. We made another trip, bringing ;wo bags of flour and cereals besides >ther things. *'It must be terrible to have to wrap one's feet in rags and old sacks in or-der to keep warm," said one. "Yes, but what does the poor man do when he must go out?" questioned the other. We brought in our load of supplies and made room for these on the belit-tered kitchen table. The man, all ex-cited, wanted us to stop and warm up before we left, but we had another trip to make yet. Returning with more packages we found the old man quite touched by the substantial Christmas cheer. His face reddened under the stubby whis-kers and his eyes moistened. He tried to speak but found it difficult "Who— who sent all this? Where does this como from? Won't you sit down and warm yourself?" were some of the many questions he asked. "No thanks," came the answer, "we still have a bas-ket to bring in and then we must go. We have other places to go, and it is getting late." "More yet?" the old man exclaimed. Bringing in the basket, we found the poor old soul in tears. The true spirit of Christmas was too much for him. Diverting the conversation into other channels, we learned that the oldest boy was working now and then, but it wasn't enough to get along on. His wife and daughter were helping out at the neighbor's. "Poor folks," he said sympathetically, "they have had sick-ness at their house and we must try to do something for them." \-v t- ]? .rr '-*-.ve with o "God blese your Christmas" and hurried on to in! make more deliveries. .
