the second meeting of the N. S.
Alumni Society at Caroline Hall.1
Monday evening, Nov. 27. The Ger-man
Club, undergraduate activity
group, attended the meeting at the
invitation of the alumni.
With William N. Olsson, '31, pre-siding,
the program held the large at-tendanee
enthralled for two hours.
Clark Kuebler, instructor in classical
languages at Northwestern Universi-ty,
and an astute critic of Aryan pol-itics
by virtue of a recent trip to
Germany, spoke at length on impres-sions
of political trends in his father-land.
Through the courtesy of the
German consulate, and the German
tourist information office, films of
scenic Germany were shown; the
swastika of Hitler's Reich rubbed el-bows
with the red-white and black
imperial flag and the American Stars

distributed, and a number of German
magazines, gift of Othard Schulze,
one of the Nazi Sturm Abtellung en-thusiasts
recently enrolled at North-western
University.

on Tuesday afternoon. Nov. 28.
The affirmative team, under the

that was very close.
The negative team staged a live-ly
contest with the visitors in the
basement of the North Park boy's
dormitory. Mr. Harold E. White of
North Central College acted as judge.
"The debates were splendid, and
the debaters were even better," said
Mr. White in rendering his decision,
"but I feel that the decision, one
extremely difficult to make, must go
to the affirmative."
The remainder of the debate

Range in Discussion
The hearty discussion at the last
nieeting of the North Side Society re-minded
one of the old Dormville bull
sessions. Perhaps studies suffered be-cause
of them. Even at that they were
for the most part worthwhile. Topics
ranee(' from common sordid stuff to
international arbitration. More often
than not they included a few humble
opinions on minister-a' wives. Almost
always they terminated in surprising-ly
intelligent d IRC ussions on God.
Solemnity and laughter charactentwod
the Sessions. Future preachers tan
often turned dialogue into monologue.
But no one gained a monopoly. it
was remarkable how full all were of
humor, tragedy, passionate human
longings, hopes, fears. Here even the
most secret dreams were revealed. It
was a real fraternity.

Taking the first two letters from

coined. Mr. E. S. Clark, the Direc-tor

To the Slacker
Many college students are suffering from the
illusion that they are exceedingly clever when
they succeed in inveigling a credit in a course
without putting any effort into it whatever. •'Oh.
what a dumb teacher. I got a C and didn't open
my book all semester," is a typical remark of
one of these would be experts.
Dumb? Is the instructor really dumb? She at-tempts
to convey to him all the knowledge she
possibly can. If the student is not receptive, if
he manages to slip through in spite of it, do you
imagine that the instructor will lose any sleep
over it? One thing she may feel, — a bit of pity.
Perhaps he, or she, thinks he is not a "real
fellow" or a "real girl," if he doesn't frivolous-ly
kill time and waste opportunities. He thinks he
is getting more out of life, whatever that may
mean.
Finally, his education has been completed, he
goes forth into the world to become a citizen and
to make a living — but with what? During his
years of preparation he has done as little as pos-sible,
now he enters into a more actual competi-tion,
the competition of life. Naturally he finds
it difficult. if not impossible. to cope with his
fellows who have studied and learned all they
could while in their preparatory stage.
Charity and Charities
The word "charity - is today a widely used
term, but it has lost a great deal of its true mean-ing.
Originally it was a virtue: today it is an in-stitution.
This is essentially the differnee be-tween
ceharity and charities. One of the theolo-gical
virtues, charity consists of love to God and
our neighbors, or the habit and disposition of
loving God with all our heart and our neighbors
as ourselves. In a narrower sense, it signifies
kindness, good-will, and forbearance toward
mankind in general, and in a still norrower sense,
the giving of alms and the alms itself. This love
of our neighbors, which is one of the greatest and
noblest of Christian virtues, is not of a blind,
indiaeriminating character. To charity, a virtue,
it adds organization and produces charity, an in-stitution.
The problem today is that the institu-tion
has become only an imitation of the virtue,
and they are widely separated. In other words,
earity Ines charity. Until the situation is fully
realized by everyone, little or nothing ccan be
done to remedy it, — and there it stands.

The daylight slowly changed to
dusk, and then in turn darkness
covered the face of the earth. From
time to time an anxious, careworn
face peered hopefully into the black
and always turned away again with
a sigh. Par into the night the
watcher sat by the window, nerves
taut, and ears alert to catch any
sound. "Oh! why don't they come!
Why don't they come! If they only
knew how much depended upon their
arrival! Oh! Oh!" So he moaned
and rocked in his chair as he wait

the horrible thought, "What if they
don't come!"
What seemed like years passed
and still the victim of this cruel
torture writhed in agony and tot
meat on his bed. Finally the first
grey of dawn began to filter into the
room. but our hero covered his head
with a tear-stained pillow and wept
afresh. "How can I face the day?
They have not come!" Lighter grew
the day and louder grew his wails,
until lie failed entirely to hear the
sounds of arrival that would have so
warmed the cockles of his heart. It
was minutes later that he staggered
groaning, down the steps and beheld
them—yes, there they were, Uppsy's
44 turkeys- -and there was still time
to deliver them. And Uppsy was so
happy!

PROF'S PAST
Are you taking Spanish? The stu-dents
who would give a negative an-swer
to such an inquiry probably are
quite unaware of the accomplishments
and former activities of our Spanish
Instructor. Upon interviewing Miss
Marie Hildemann we found her to bs
very conservative in her self•estm.m.
so there is a probability that even the
Spanish students could be informed
about her past.
Being a Chicago renicient she, of
course, took advantage of the colleges
in this vicinity. Her first year of
college work was taken at Crane Ju-nior
College. The following year.
l'owever, she turned westward to
California. Here, while she was en•
joying the balmy summer weather,
she continued her col'ege work for
one year at Stanford University. Re-turning
again she entered North-western
University where she ma-jored
in Spanish and An 1929 received
Ler B. A. degree.
Her interests are not limited to
academic work, however, for she was
also enrolled in the American Con-servatory
of Music while attending
Northwestern University. Although a
B. M. degree was awarded her in
1929, she has been doing graduate
work at the University of Chicago.
No, she has not been a student all
her life—she has had experience in
teaching as well. Upon receiving her
degree she was offered a mimic poet-tion
in the Sherwood private schoo!.
She continued her teaching as an in-structor
in Spanish and ICONIC i0 the
Mayfair High School—a branch of
Roosevelt High School— -for one year.
During the year 1931-'32 she was en-gaged
as a music supervisor visiting
the various high schools of the city.
Her unusual ahility in music was
portrayed in the presentation of her
own operetta "Bird of a Nation' at
the Illinois Host Building at the
Worlds' Fair in the honor of Princess
Potentdani of Italy. A part of the
operetta war, presented for Mrs.
Roosevelt upon her visit to the Cen-tury
of Progress.
Such is the distinguished instructor
we have right here in our school. And
vgain we say, "Lets' get acquainted."

PEN SCRATCHES
A Plea to All Aspiring Young Architects
Can you imagine what it would be like to live
in a house without any windows? Granted there
was faultless indirect lighting and perfect ven-tilation,
the house would still he nothing more
than a labyrinth. What would happen to one's
inherent curiosity? One might hear the wind
moaning anti groaning outside, but lost would be
the sight of the grass combed slickly smooth
against the earth.
Shall I tell you what I saw from my window
last night? The tranquil silhouette of a cotton-wood
with arms outstretched against a starry
sky. A golden rivule of moonlight embossed upon
the sluggish river — how changeless, after all,
this world. And, then, a mass of flats and varie-gated
apartment buildings, studded helter skel-ter
with glowing lights — how many, many peo-ple
behind all those windows. A little farther
back the gaunt black outline of a smokestack
rose high into the sky — industrialism. Then the
periodic flash of the Lindbergh Beacon from the
southeast — achievement.
What do you see from your window?

Music in Education
Music is a mind trainer, but too few people
realize it. Many years ago musie was never ser-iously
considered in most higher institutions of
learning; it Was looked on as a pasttime and of
no importance to mental growth. Today there is
abundant evidence of the value of musie in the
educational system. Mr. Robert Littell, noted
author and editor, places music higher than al-most
any other accomplishment on his list of
ideals of the education of the student of high
school age. A musical instrument, besides being a
means of pleasure to the player and to others.
Inlay be a self-resouree. Mr. Littell says, "Music
is, or ought to be, an essential part of every
civilized human being's life." His first ehoice is
the piano. He also has much to sits about the
ability to sing a eapella choral work. He tells
tis that any amateur who knows the words of
even the moat common songs is a phenomenon,
and he makes this statement: "My students will
receive a passing grade if they can listen to
worthwhile music intelligently and moderately
often without pressure."
According to History
Once upon a time, a king named Agoth I ruled
over collegeland. He was a just king and be-lieved
that his subjects ethould be wise and hap-py.
To this end he established a ritual. Asamuel,
his prime minister, was to supply wise men to
speak to and advise the people. On every Wed-nesday
the subjects met in a large hall and lis-tened.
Like the sword which hung over Damocles, a
terrible punishment hung over the people's
heads. Should Asamuel fail' to supply them with
a wise man they would be visited on that day by
the fearful punishment of Noehapel.
That is why on a certain day the prime minis-ter
might have been seen running about in small
circles. Ile was a very conscientious man. He
stopped running about as his wind was no longer
what it used to be and began gnawin' his gnails.
In the midst of him repast five deep brown de-scendants
of Hain entered. Asamuel, thinking
they were friends of his back from a rest cure at
Palm Beach greeted them warmly, complimented
them on their tan and told them his troubles.
"We're a quintet," they all said in unison,
"and we'll help you."
Asamuel, grasping at straws, replied, "Good.
you have fifteen minutes to report to chapel."
Then he pulled down a 'WEBSTER and looked
up QUINTET.

Professor A. Samuel Wallgren
Chicago.
Dear Professor Wallgren:
You perhaps have no idea how hap-py
I was to get your letter of March
23. It was a most pleasant surprise,
and surprises are doubly appreciated
out here in the "bush". It was in-deed
kind of you to remember me
with a lettei.
After hating spent five months at
M'boula, French Cameroun, we came
here to Abba, French Equatorial Af-rica.
a nine days journey from
M'boula. Our central station is lo-cated
at Meiganga. Cameroun, which
is our mailing address.
Our first two years in Africa have
gone fast. As we get to know the lan-guage
of the people better and more
fully understand them, the work na- -
turally becomes more interestAng.
Our work is stlirt!), pioneer in na-ture.
We find that the people here -
have about the same aptitude for
learning as those in the homeland. It
is very encouraging to see how rapid-ly
the average boy learns to read. As
yet we have not been able to do much
work among the girls.
What has encouraged us greatly
here at Abbe is that the chief has
been sympathetic towards our work.
Although he is a Mohammedan yet he
has been faithful in attending our
services. Several of his children (he
has 23 wives and not so few children)
come to school. Some of his wives
have also become interested in read-ing-
that is quite unusual for these
women.
Might mention we work in the
Baya tribe. The language of these
people comprises different dialects
but it is estimated that about 200,000
souls can be reached directly with the
Word of God through the dialect
spoken by our nsissionaries. One
writer claims that the Ilaya tribe is
the largest one In French Equatorial
Africa, so you see there are groat pos-sibilities
for service before us.

language. This is not easy inasmuch
as their vocabulary is very limited
and they have no written language.
But, of course, this is a situation that
confronts many missionaries.
Yes, thank you, I am getting the
"College News." I am always eager
to receive it and needless to say the
alumni column is of great interest to
me.

OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION, 36-33 FINISH SCHEDULE
Bengtson Scores 13 Points
In N. U. Game; Parsons
Stars in Offensive
Over two hundred excited cod.
legians gathered in the gym a week
ago Manley to see what proved the
first upset of tin year as well as
the first game of the season. North-western
McKinlock campus team
went down under the ravages of
North Park's Varsity by a 36-12
count. The B team also Won their
game 40-13.
From the very beginning the Vik-ings
had the lead anti kept it
throughout the course of the game.
To start things off for the Varsity
Parsons made a beautiful shot from
mid-floor that arched prettily into
the hoop. From then on it was one
shot after another for the Blue and
Gold.
Otto Bengston, playing his first
college game was high point man
for tin Varsity. He selik five bas-kets
and ziiree free throws for a
total of thirteen points. Otto looked
nice in the fracas, getting the tip-off
at almost every chance.
Thompson. Northwestern captain
was the coolest player on the floor.
He sank two baskets anti two free
throws and probably would have
done better had it not been for the
splendid defensive game played by
Peters and Small at guard positions.
It must be granted, however, that
the breaks were with the North Park
boys. They continually muffed the
ball and it was only through luck
that Northweste,n did not Lite more
advantage of the situation.
Members of the B squad looked
nice in spots. Anderson. forward.
made a number of shots from mid-floor
that showed class. All in all
he sank four baskets and two free
throws for a total of 10 points.
Hohmyer playing at center is a
player worthy of a position on the
A squad. He is always thinking and
seems to know what each movement
is for. He was high point man for
the team scoring six baskets. Dold
is another man of the same type as
Hohmyer, always cool and always
thinking.
Raft' and Nygren, each playing at
forward, sank two baskets apiece.
Rail has a nice runsin shot which
will help tutu along mightily in his
development.

Peters Scores Winning Point
In Game with American
College of Phys. Ed.
Surprising everyone by their win
from Northwestern. 36-12, a week
ago Monday, the Varsity traveled
out to the gym of the American Col-lege
of Physical Education last
Wednesday and took that quintet to
camp by a 36-33 score.
The game was extremely close as
indicated by the score. Many times
the ball circled the basket and
loomed as if it were going in, but
came out again into play. The
referee actually blew his whistle in
one Instance thinking that a basket
had been scored but had to renig
his decision when the ball rolled
about the rim and fell out.
The two Georgies. Peters and
Small, vied for the honors of high-point
man, each scoring nine counts.
At the end of the half the Phys-ical
Ed. beys were leading the Vik-ings
by a large margin. With the
start of the second half our boys
came bank with all the fire and zip
that they are capable of. Small,
playing at lett-guard, sank four
baskets in a row. Peters, not to be
out-done, sank two baskets and three
free-throws. The latter free-throw
won the game. in reality, since the
score was tie. 33 apiece. After Peters
gained his points. Otto Bengtson
pushed the ball into the hoop for the
extra two points.
Phillips, playing forward for the
American College of Physical Educa-tion,
was high-point man for both
teams, sinking six baskets for a to-tal
of 12 points.
Fumbling of the hall was less ap-parent
than in the tiff with N. U.
