Women Athletes Get Spotlight as Coed Basketball Tourney Opens The great event of tne year has ar-rived— the one you have all been wait-ing for; It is none other than the Cobber coeds' annual basketball tour-nament. Tho first game was played laBt night at 6:45 in the Concordia gymnasium between the freshmen and the sophomores. Tonight the jun-iors meet the seniors on the field of combat, beginning promptly at 6:45. Two games will bo played tomorrow afternoon—foet ween the sophomores and the seniors and the juniors and the freshmen. The remaining games will bo played next week, the dates are indefinite. As these are charity games tho price of admission will be a loyal class spirit and a good strong noise apparatus, namely that unpaired hole In your face. The "stalwart, serious seniors," have chosen Hazel Krogstad, Winger, to lead them through the combat un-der the able coaching of Bernard Mar-tinson, Clinton, uml with the name of Senlorltaa. The "Jolly jumping jun-iors,' 1 captained by Martha Jordahl, Fertllo, and her Technocrats will b# coached by Walter Sogn, Bowden, N. D. Paul Flgonihaw, East Grand Forks, has been chosen to tell the "sophisticated, itaucy sophomores," how to play basketball. Alvhild Berg, Buffalo, X. I). IH captain for tho Fig-enshawls. Tho "frisky, frolicsome freshmen" under the name of Whip-pots will be led through the combat under the leadership of Catherine Gilbcrtson, Kemnare, N. D. and Ar-thur Myrom, Thief River Falls, coach. In past years these games have proven to be very interesting and from all reports should be the same this year. These four teams, having kept rig-id training rules for at least twenty-four hours will all be out determined to win. Of course wo can't all be out there playing and helping them win but let's have a Rood student turnout to give that extra support which comes from the sidelines. It Is nec-essary that these games start on time so everyone must be there at 6:45. Comu early and avoid the rush. The front rows of the bleachers are set aside as reserved seats und are for those students who possess the strong-est sets of lungs. Each class wants to be the champ- Ion so it's up to the fellow members of the respective classes to come out and give all the extra support poss-ible. • Presentation of Harry P^arbmau, famous American violinist, in the col-lege chapel this evening at 8 p. m. will conclude the artist course pro-gram for the current season. Stu-dents will be allowed admittance on their privilege tickets, while general admission Is forty cents. Mr. Farbman has appeared on Cou-eonlia college artist course programs on two previous occasions. Critical reviews from the Concordian and lo-cal papers acclaim him widely. . Fornm Critic Praises Farbman George A. Benson writing In the Fargo Forum upon Mr. Farbman's last performance here stated, "There is something about Mr. Farbman's ar-tistry which baffles one. He can be both introspective and retrospective, and can make his instrument yield a variety of moods." Mr. Farbman, who is to appear here tonight was born In Ohio in 1905. His musical genius was Inherited from his -father, a tenor in the Imperial Opera House, Odessa, Russia. The lad showed remarkable capacities for advancement In music and was brought to the best teachers in the world. Professor Leopold Aucr, who for a time had taken up residence in Russia, was sought as an instructor for the young prodigy. Fortunately the professor moved to Amorlca be-cause of the revolution in Russia, and his services were obtained for Farb-man. In 1923 Farbman was awarded a prize for distinction in his work, the Auer scholarship Creates Sensation on Tour His tour of South America the same year resulted in a sensational cap-ture of that' continent. Despite the well-grounded belief held by those people that North Americans could contribute but little to true art, he swept the audiences which thronged to his mastery. The Journal do Commerclo, Rio do Janerio, in reviewing the concert In that center stated, "The greatest vi-olinist that has appeared In this cap-ital for the paat fifteen years thrilled huge throngs last evening. Harry Farbman dispelled all doubt as to the ability of Northerners to present truly urtlBtlc Interpretations." Mr. Farbman returned to Amoricu the following year and won huge fol-lowings with each recital. Mr. Farb-man particularly liked to play to au- (Contlnued on Page 4, Col. 5) Students Get Financial Aid From Loan Fund Thirty-eight students are being giv-en financial aid this year through the Student Loan Fund which has been raised by the Concordia College Wo-men's League.

Bureau Places Graduates with Many Schools Prof. Peter Anderson Aids Seniors To Secure Appointments "After graduation, what?" is the questiou the Placement Bureau en-deavors to assist the graduates In answering. The bureau Is again set to go Into the job hunting campaign for tho present senior class, as well as to assist former graduates to sec-ure promotions. "Wo are particularly pleased over tho success in securing appointments for the 1932 class," states Prof. Peter Anderson, director of the placement bureau. "While the employment con-dition then as now was very discour-aging, yet 65 percent of the class re-ceived appointments. When the year is taken into consideration, the achievement Is regarded as outstand-ing." While the bureau is most solicitous for the needs of the graduating class, It maintains contact and active files lor past graduates as woH- The bu-reau thus becomes a clearing house of information on the success achieve-ed by the graduates of the college. Graduates have found it advantageous to maintain their credential files up-to- date, Professor Anderson points out. While- Professor Anderson is mak-ing no predictions as to the success of the campaign this year, the bureau IH organized to rentier the largest service to the employing public as well as to the class. Credential files have been prepared on all new reg-istrants and stenographers are en-gaged in preparing copies for the use of employers. The bureau is ready for business. In connection with the Placement Bureau, the college requires students expecting to secure teaching positions to do a certain amount of practice teaching. Puppet Performance Is Nu Sxg-Delta Rho Party Entertainment Seven stitches attached Ceder-borg's leg to his torso. A string neck fastened his green-haired head to his body. Dangling arms und togs beat the air In excite-ment. Strung up with seven strings, Cederberg, dressed in a clown suit, paced the floor and utteiupted to Jig. Alas, Cedor-borg was but a puppet, whoso in-ternal parts consisted of sand. He was not alone about it. To the accompaniment of Popklns at the piano, Lena and Olo in Swed-ish costumes, danced a native dunce. Although Lena waa quite n flirt, Ole was able to keep in step and even to stand on his feet. This demonstration of making and operating puppets and mar-ionettes was given last Tuesday evening at a joint party of the Nu Sigma Rho and Delta Rho literary societies. Miss Frlda Nllscu, ad-visor of the Nu Sigma Rho society, sponsored the party. Blood-curdling shrieks and cries frightened even tho bravest hearts as tho lights went out and murderers took their toll. The guilty, however, were discovered by capable lawyers. Miss Christine FJclstad, Prof, and Mrs. A. M. Sattre, and Mrs. J. A. Holvik, together with tho pledges from each society, wero the honored guests.
