To future generations the record of the voyage will be merely printed words in history. To us it has been vivified and humanized, by the per-sonal magnetism of the one who him-self conceived and experienced the great drama; Captain Roald Amund-sen, the World's greatest explorer. AMUNDSEN RELATES NORGE EXPEDITION (Continued from page 1.) North Pole still persisted. His second attempt in 1914 was blocked by the World War. His next two attempts were also shattered before he was able to start on his expeditions. Amundsen then came to America and began a lecture tour as a means of raising money; he abandoned this, realizing that it would take too long a time. His plans looked hopeless when suddenly every thing took on a different aspect. Lincoln Ellsworth, Explorer, offered to finance the plan, and in May 1925 they left Kings Bay, Spitsbergen. After eight hours sail-ing, blown about by a fierce gale with the gasoline supply running low, they were forced to make a landing in an open space in the mid-artic. One plane was crushed and the other saved only with the greatest dif-ficulty. For four weeks, eating only eight ounces a day, the explorers used every effort to get their plane into the air. Fiften hundred feet were needed to make a start; all they had was five hundred feet. At the end of the five hundred feet was an open space of water and just beyond this a great ice hummock blocked their path. Captain Amundsen stated that he was nearer to death when the plane barely missed the hummock, than he has ever been. The Captain then told of the pur-chase of the "Norge" and their prep-arations for the flight at Spitzbergan. On the morning of May 11, 1925, the Norge left Spitzbergan sailing direct-ly north. At 2:30 the next morning the flags of Norway, United States, and Italy were planted upon the North Pole. Amundr'v?' < sole interest started at.'/uis point, for between the Pole and Alaska lay a vast expanse of un-explored area, which is called the "Pole of Inaccessibility. After hav-ing crossed this interesting point of their journey, the Norge was lost in a heavy fog. Now came a desperate battle with fog, with storms, with the unknown. They floundered about blindly for twenty-five long hours TO THE PASTORS AND CHURCH SCHOOL COMMITTEES At this time of the year you are planning your parochial or vacation religious schools.

This is the first time Concordia College has boasted of having debating teams composed ex-clusively of girls. The first debate was held at Jamestown Friday even-ing, Concordia supporting the affir-mative and Jamestown the negative. Both tearr.s presented good argu-ments. An open forum discussion fol-lowed the debate. The second debate was held in the Concordia College Auditorium Tues-day evening. The Jamestown Col-lege girls argued the affirmative, and Concordia the negative side of the question. Inasmuch as this was the first women's inter-collegiate debate to be held on the campus, an unusually large crowd of students turned out for it. The decision in both debates was by the audience and in each instance the experienced Jamestown debaters carried away the honors. The debate coaches were Mr. Ras-mussen for Concordia and Mr. Capp for Jamestown. The teams were composed as fol-lows : Jamestown affirmative— Margaret Bristol, Charlotte Bitner, and Hazel Rundle. Jamestown negative—Georgia Haga-man, Delia Johnson, and Ethel Tor-vestad. Concordia affirmative—Angeline Net-teland, Pauline Flaten, and Evelyn Nilsen. Concordia negative—Elsie Moo, Laila Nilsen and Katherine Prindle. The question for debate was "Re-solved, that Congress should enact uniform marriage and divorce laws."

MOOS Dentist First State Security BIdg., Room 205 Telephone 523-W Moorhead :: :: Minnesota BORGHILD HUE ADMITTED TO ALPHA PSI OMEGA It has been with interest that the news that Miss Borghild Bue, Dean of Women, has been admitted into membership in the Alpha Psi Omega Dramatic Fraternity. This fraternity is a national honorary dramatic soci-ety, membership to which is based entirely upon the applicants' dramatic qualifications. Since Miss Bue's ad-mittance to this fraternity she has made application for a chapter to be installed at Concordia College. Should this be granted, it will mean a big advance in forwarding the dramatic interests of the college and will give the dramatic students an excellent opportunity to express their ability. Last fall Miss Bue was granted unconditional permission to enter the Dramatic Department of Yale where she could take work in play produc-tion under George Pierce Baker. How-ever, she had accepted her present position and will not be able to take this work in play production until a later date. The Dramatic Depart-ment of Yale is one of the best in the country and very strict in its entrance requirements. COLLEGE STUDENT OR TEACHER for summer months, handling school guide in sales field.
