The band will be present during all this time and will have a prominent part in the festivities. Grows to Large Organization Since its beginnings in 1892, the band has grown from a small unas- j Burning organization to a complete, concert band of forty members. The band made its debut under the leadership of Prof. A. W. Rognlie. He continued in this capacity for a num-ber of years, but when pressure of other duties caused him to give up his band work, the directorship was turned over to O . I. Hertsgaard, Un-der the direction of Oscar Overby, now instructor in the music depart-ment of St. Olaf college, the band made its first extensive tour in Min-nesota and North Dakota. Mr. Overby was succeeded by Prof. Monson, under whose skill the organ-ization assumed the proportions of a full sized concert band. At the out-break of the war, Mr. MOD son turned the baton over to Victor LIska, under whose leadership the organization maintained Its former Btandard des-pite the depletion in personnel due to the war situation. fiognUe Renames Leadership Mr. Rognlio again resumed the band leadership in 1919-20, and waB follow-ed by Paul Wart man n, an experienced bandmaster and cornetist, who had served in the United. States army band. On Mr. Monaon'g return to the helm of musical activity at Concordia, the department entered on a new and greater period of growth. Great in-terest was evinced under his Intense training, and the band of 1924 made an Interesting and successful three week trip through northern Minneso-ta. Due to the extended choir tour of 1926, the hand did not travel, but an oboe and bassoon were added to the band property. In 1926 Prof. J. A. Holvik relieved Mr. Monson of the baton, and In 1929- 30 directed the band through one of (Continued on Page 4, col. 2) Dean Rasmussen Makes Law Enforcement Campaign Issue Files for Mayor Joint Banquet To Be Held Saturday Hauge To Be Toastmaster For Committees' Dinner Members of the executive commit-tees of the college religious organiza-tions will hold a banquet In the home economics room tomorrow at 6 p. m.

Cobber Coed Hearts Flutter, Cupid's Visit Is Awaited Anxiously "Roses are red, Violets are blue. Sugar la sweet. And so are you." SSSt! What is that noise? It Is Cupid sending out hie Quiver-ing darts Into the hearts of the fair Concordia coedB. This is the month when things begin to thaw (Editor's note—from looks of the weather the past week, I hope BO)—not only ice and enow, but also emotionB. Remember when you were a bashful little schoolboy, how proud you felt when you wrote the verse above and the name of the girl with whom you used to walk to school on a homemade wallpaper valentine? Or perhaps it happened to be the valentine you sent to tbo girl who alwayB made faces at you, and you wrote: "Roses are red, Violets are blue, Pickles are tour, And so are you!" Today the latter in expressed by a comic valentine from the dime store with a bit of sarcastic verso on it; the former by a big lace heart upon which are writ-ten the shy young man's inner-most thoughts—or by a big box of candy. (Editors note again— A young coed wrote this. I won-der what she was hinting for with that last phras*??) College Dean of Men Files For Mayor in City Campaign ENTERS FIELD OF FOUR Candidate Asserts Need of Rigid Observance Of Statutes Declaring himself in favor of rigid respect and enforcement of laws, Dean Paul A. Raamussen entered the .Moorhead mayoralty race last week as the fourth candidate in the Held. Other candidates are A. G. Smith, water and light commissioner; Hen-ry Peterson, third ward alderman; and Dr. E. W. Humphrey, mayor in 1919-1920. Tomorrow is the final day for filing in the campaign. Mr. Rasmussen is a member of the Melvln E. Hoarl post of the American Legion, of which he has been chap-lain for three years. He served as a private in a machine guu company for five months during the war, later being transferred to officers1 training school, and received a commission as second lieutenant in the artillery. Is St, Olaf Graduate He is graduate of St. Olaf and has been teaching for 12 years. In addi-tion to his position as dean of men, Mr. Easmuasen serves aa public speaking instructor and debate coach. He has followed politics for years, and last year he was mentioned as a candidate In the primaries for ninth district congressman before the Minn-esota rodistricting act was get aside by the supreme court. "I have always been interested in politics," Dean Rasmussen stated in an Interview yesterday, "because I feel that any nation, state, or munici-pality in order to serve its citizens to the best advantage must have a wholenome respect for law and order. Calls for Constructive Changes "Whenever I see fundamental laws violated, It aggravates me, and causes me to feel that the very essence of organized government ia being jeop-ardized. I have been in direct con-tact with the local law enforcement situation in Moorhead for a period of seven years and I am of the opinion (Continued on Page 4, col. 3) 'Go, Work Today' Enjoins Speaker Policy of Retrenchment Is Deplored in Talk by Gerberding "My son, go and work today," Matt. 21:28, was the sorlptural Injunction used by the Rev. W. H. Gerberding, Fargo, in his chapel message, Wed-nesday morning. "If a sign were put up today saying, 'Go and Work', and if men felt they could go to work today, there would be rejoicing/' said the Rev. Mr. Ger-berding. Upon the authority of God's work ho commanded the hearers to "go and work today." Tho church's policy of retrenchment was deplored, for God does not want us to go back but to push forward the Kingdom of God. "Don't ever get It into your heads that there is an over- Bupply of consecrated young people." If young people hearing the words of the vision of Isuiah would a ay, "Here am I, send me," and would present themselves to the church boards in that spirit, they would not be rejected. As a closing admonition the speaker said, "Don't let this depression de-proas your zeal for the propagation ot the gospel." Burgess Gives Movies To Psychology Class In connection with a term project which is to be carried out by the in-dividual members of the educational psychology classes this semester, a movie was presented in chapel Thurs-day evening, February 2, by Dr. T. O. Burgess. The pictures showed how animal learning was accomplished, a subject which may be used as a pro-ject l>y tho students.

Dr. Burgess also showed some pictures of the faculty Bceuee from a rodeo, and aUo pic-tures of Glacier National Park view-ed from an aeroplane.

Concordia Students Help To Coach for Declamation Louise Bunde, Hannah Berg, und Oliver Johnson are coaching Com-stock students for the district declam-ation contest. This Thing Called Jig-Saw By Gay Larson A luxury-loving people, a people who crave novol enjoyment, things new, peculiar and appealing—three loud cheers for the American public. And who cheers? I call them the con-spirators. Why? Because they are responsible for our latest American diversion-—jig saw. It all started with an American's visit to China. According to the tale, a rich man, visiting tho shop of a chi-na- mender, was struck with a novel Idea. Ho took the first boat home, thus making sure that ho would be the first to introduce and put his plan into practice. Accordingly, on his return, he proceeded to tear all the pictures off the living room wall and chop them to pieces. His wife was horror stricken, and botng a woman of good common sense and unusual resourcefulness, she immediately sent for a doctor. When the doctor arrived he decided It would bo most advan-tageous to give the rich gentleman every chance for recovery, BO it was decided that no expens should be spared in their endeavor to restore the man to bis right senses. Conse-quently they purchased a printing machine and a meat chopper to print pictures and chop them into small fragments. The mental disease was pamod cutapaperttla. No cure was found. Instead, the malady spread .and the public became mad about cut-out puzzles and pictures. The cust-omary greeting became, "Oh, hello, I can just see your head in a puxzle I worked out last night. It only took five hours so I had time to do my math Cor laat week Wednesday." Today the man who was first thought mad has given up his life work and gone into puxzle cutting as i permanent business. He is richer now than he ever was before insanity struck him. He has won over psych-ologists and logicians. He has swept tho nation off Its feet and now where are we? We are going down to his level, and yet we are better off. A lesser evil has displaced a former malady, bridge. It has come to the stage now where a man may find his wife home, but he Is unwilling to eat because he has found a new puzzle that ho just must work out before he can do anything else. Now, I suggest a remedy to cure all this nonsense. Let the public go on working jig-saw puzzles until the generation that know bridge has pas-sed on. Then stop It all suddenly by using a little strategy. Have all bills sent out In the form of jig-saw puzzles. Do the same with semester grades and all other undesirable bits of Information. Soon men will learn to fear and hate scraps of paper. The sale of jig-saw puzzles will halt sud-denly, but surely. The world -will be free. Man will have time to live a normal Intellectual life again. People will open books and scholarship will be reawakened. The world needs such a renaissance from wastepaper. Let us organize our campaign against jig-saw puzzles right here and now. 34 Freshmen of College Honored By Scholarships Best Ranking High School Graduates of Last Year Get Recognition $75 GIVEN EACH ONE North Dakota Leads With Nineteen Entrants List Thirty-four freshmen have succeed-ed In maintaining a "C" average dur-ing the flrBt semester and have been granted $75 scholarships, according to Miss Martha Brennum, registrar, with a likelihood that the number will go higher when all grades are reported.

D.; Agnes Wik, Glyndon; and Delmar Wanggvlck, Mott, N. D. Berge Speaks at Chapel, 'Services Soul Salvation From Death Is Speaker's Gospel Message "Soul, Death, Save," from James 6:20, formed the basis for the mes-sage of tho Rev. S. A. Berge, Fargo, to the chapel audience, Feb. 3. "We all have a soul even though we haven't seen It", said Mr. Berge. Though Its value Is beyond compu-tation, "Esau sold it for a mess of pot-tage, Judas for 30 pieces of silver, Demas for the love of the world." He also emphasized, "The soul deter-mines what your future will be". "Death Is not the end of existence, but It la an existence apart from Qod. Death, is that state of the soul that come« upon one who carries unfor-glven sin." Salvation of the soul from death Is the glad message of the gospel. "Salvation brings with It at least that CbrlBt-Uke life that shall never end. Once we are saved -we want to go out and save others/' Wigdahl Gives Sermon At Elim Church, Fargo A. O. Wigdahl, '30, preached the Sunday morning sermon at Elim Lu-theran church, Fargo, February 6. |

Cobber Coed Hearts Flutter, Cupid's Visit Is Awaited Anxiously "Roses are red, Violets are blue. Sugar la sweet. And so are you." SSSt! What is that noise? It Is Cupid sending out hie Quiver-ing darts Into the hearts of the fair Concordia coedB. This is the month when things begin to thaw (Editor's note—from looks of the weather the past week, I hope BO)—not only ice and enow, but also emotionB. Remember when you were a bashful little schoolboy, how proud you felt when you wrote the verse above and the name of the girl with whom you used to walk to school on a homemade wallpaper valentine? Or perhaps it happened to be the valentine you sent to tbo girl who alwayB made faces at you, and you wrote: "Roses are red, Violets are blue, Pickles are tour, And so are you!" Today the latter in expressed by a comic valentine from the dime store with a bit of sarcastic verso on it; the former by a big lace heart upon which are writ-ten the shy young man's inner-most thoughts—or by a big box of candy. (Editors note again— A young coed wrote this. I won-der what she was hinting for with that last phras*??)

W. H. Gerberding, Fargo, in his chapel message, Wed-nesday morning. "If a sign were put up today saying, 'Go and Work', and if men felt they could go to work today, there would be rejoicing/' said the Rev. Mr. Ger-berding. Upon the authority of God's work ho commanded the hearers to "go and work today." Tho church's policy of retrenchment was deplored, for God does not want us to go back but to push forward the Kingdom of God. "Don't ever get It into your heads that there is an over- Bupply of consecrated young people." If young people hearing the words of the vision of Isuiah would a ay, "Here am I, send me," and would present themselves to the church boards in that spirit, they would not be rejected. As a closing admonition the speaker said, "Don't let this depression de-proas your zeal for the propagation ot the gospel."

This Thing Called Jig-Saw By Gay Larson A luxury-loving people, a people who crave novol enjoyment, things new, peculiar and appealing—three loud cheers for the American public. And who cheers? I call them the con-spirators. Why? Because they are responsible for our latest American diversion-—jig saw. It all started with an American's visit to China. According to the tale, a rich man, visiting tho shop of a chi-na- mender, was struck with a novel Idea. Ho took the first boat home, thus making sure that ho would be the first to introduce and put his plan into practice. Accordingly, on his return, he proceeded to tear all the pictures off the living room wall and chop them to pieces. His wife was horror stricken, and botng a woman of good common sense and unusual resourcefulness, she immediately sent for a doctor. When the doctor arrived he decided It would bo most advan-tageous to give the rich gentleman every chance for recovery, BO it was decided that no expens should be spared in their endeavor to restore the man to bis right senses. Conse-quently they purchased a printing machine and a meat chopper to print pictures and chop them into small fragments. The mental disease was pamod cutapaperttla. No cure was found. Instead, the malady spread .and the public became mad about cut-out puzzles and pictures. The cust-omary greeting became, "Oh, hello, I can just see your head in a puxzle I worked out last night. It only took five hours so I had time to do my math Cor laat week Wednesday." Today the man who was first thought mad has given up his life work and gone into puxzle cutting as i permanent business. He is richer now than he ever was before insanity struck him. He has won over psych-ologists and logicians. He has swept tho nation off Its feet and now where are we? We are going down to his level, and yet we are better off. A lesser evil has displaced a former malady, bridge. It has come to the stage now where a man may find his wife home, but he Is unwilling to eat because he has found a new puzzle that ho just must work out before he can do anything else. Now, I suggest a remedy to cure all this nonsense. Let the public go on working jig-saw puzzles until the generation that know bridge has pas-sed on. Then stop It all suddenly by using a little strategy. Have all bills sent out In the form of jig-saw puzzles. Do the same with semester grades and all other undesirable bits of Information. Soon men will learn to fear and hate scraps of paper. The sale of jig-saw puzzles will halt sud-denly, but surely. The world -will be free. Man will have time to live a normal Intellectual life again. People will open books and scholarship will be reawakened. The world needs such a renaissance from wastepaper. Let us organize our campaign against jig-saw puzzles right here and now. 34 Freshmen of College Honored By Scholarships Best Ranking High School Graduates of Last Year Get Recognition $75 GIVEN EACH ONE North Dakota Leads With Nineteen Entrants List Thirty-four freshmen have succeed-ed In maintaining a "C" average dur-ing the flrBt semester and have been granted $75 scholarships, according to Miss Martha Brennum, registrar, with a likelihood that the number will go higher when all grades are reported.

Berge Speaks at Chapel, 'Services Soul Salvation From Death Is Speaker's Gospel Message "Soul, Death, Save," from James 6:20, formed the basis for the mes-sage of tho Rev. S. A. Berge, Fargo, to the chapel audience, Feb. 3. "We all have a soul even though we haven't seen It", said Mr. Berge. Though Its value Is beyond compu-tation, "Esau sold it for a mess of pot-tage, Judas for 30 pieces of silver, Demas for the love of the world." He also emphasized, "The soul deter-mines what your future will be". "Death Is not the end of existence, but It la an existence apart from Qod. Death, is that state of the soul that come« upon one who carries unfor-glven sin." Salvation of the soul from death Is the glad message of the gospel. "Salvation brings with It at least that CbrlBt-Uke life that shall never end. Once we are saved -we want to go out and save others/' Wigdahl Gives Sermon At Elim Church, Fargo A. O.
