the words by Dean Hawkinson of the
seminary.
The glee club struck up a litth
"barber shop" harmony, after which
Mr. Ernest displayed a little of his

then, Mr. Pearson has studied at the
American Conservatory of Music, and
is now assistant pastor of the Chris-tian
and Mission Alliance Tabernacle.
Just before the Christmas holidays.
Mr. Pearson sang the leading role in
the Swedish Choral club's presenta-tion
of the Messiah at Orchestra Hall.
Earlier in the fall, he gave a concert
for the Union of the Twin Cities' Cove-nant
churches. The critics of this per-formance
were uhanimous in their
praises of Mr. Pearson.
First in a Series
This presentation, sponsored by the
Student Council, is one of the first at-tempts
made to allay some of the dis-satisfaction,
voiced by the students,
with the serious types of chapel pro-grams.
The program is to be the first in a
series of Student Council sponsored
chapel presentations, and whether the
council carries out its full intentions
in this matter will depend on the stu-dent
response shown next Wednesday
mot !ling.
Most people are wholly In sympathy
with this attempt on the part of the
council. In fact there are many who
have been inquiring why there ay-e
not more programs like that given by
the Mundy singers last fall.
The Student Council will appre-ciate
eonyments and suggestions an

its president, Mr. Peterson.

The Library Situation
Autocracy in the library is the current coin,
plaint that is being voiced quite strongly about
North Park's campus. This time it is not the
habitual gripers who are doing all the hollering;
even those reputed to be generally reasonable
toward conscientious effort are voicing protests.
Most people respect a good organizer who has
a purpose for his existence and uses it to attain
some definite goal. Last fall a new librarian
took over the job of systematizing the North
Park library. For a long time, most of the stu-dents
and all of the faculty respected her work
and tried to cooperate. New methods were in-cepted,
and while some misunderstood and dis-paraged
them, the NEws, seeing the need for co-ordination,
supported those innovations. But in
the making of rules, there is a difference be-tween
purposeful use of authority, and the ex-ploitation
of it.
All rules are justified for one reason— that
people who have to live, work, and study side by
side in a ',ramped society might recognize and
respect each other's rights. Certainly North
Park college is a miniature example of a cramped
society.
If there were only one person using the library,
no rules would be necessary, but mince many use
it, there must be a codification of rights. How-ever,
this must not be made, nor must it be en-forced
at the oppression of those it is deigned
to serve.
There are civil laws which people are forced
to observe, but men and women must be educated
to respect laws of social propriety. Quiet in the
library is one form of the latter, and you can't
educate people to its existence with the foot
and the open door, Mrs. Librarian. If students
reach the college level academically, but fail to
learn to respect social propriety, then there is
something wrong with the students or their sur-roundings
which your disciplinary tactics are
failing to correct. After all, there might be a little
psychology envolved in your problem. A small
room, small tables, and cramped quarters in
which students are huddled together is not con-ducive
of quiet. In the reading room of the Chi-cago
Public library, the ceilings are high, the
tables are twice the width of North Park's ,and
those who go there are rarely friendly enough to
be 'HI speaking terms with one another.
A Big Success
Comments on the work of the Student Council
in promoting the recent roller skating party have
been pouring in over the press wires. Indeed the
affair was one of the biggest social successes of
this season, and much credit is due to its pro-moter.

Who Knows the Answer?
At present the school is in the state
of "Confusion." No one seems to
know whether this semester will have
two nine week periods or the conven-tional
three, six-week laps.
Evar Nelson says there will be only
one report card between now and
June, and the rest of the faculty
either doesn't know or is announcing
tests for the end of the first six
weeks.
Here's hoping President Ohlson will
hurry back front Minneapolis and call

Write "To Edie With Love"
Future Katherine Mansfield
Dear Edie,
Farthest front my mind is the pur-pose
of blighting the future hopes of
that aspiring short story writer,
Richard Johnson. However, there are
two or three principles of writing
that he must have overlooked in-rs
scratchings, "Mistaken Identity." The
story lacks force. It lacks continuity
of theme since there are introduced so
many descriptive affectations that one
loses the trend of thought. Mr. John-son
would have done well to have
read "Too Much Dictionary" found in
the Editor's column in the last edition
before writing his masterpiece of ex-pression
and style. Our future "Kathe-rine
Mansfield"--contemixirary short
story writer of fame—as personified
in youthful Mr. Johnson need not
try all his "words" out on us at
the next sojourn into the mystic
realm of fictional writing. Rather, he
should attempt to aim at simplicity.
the real keynote of writing. Such ex-pressions
as "moaned miserably" or
"portentious atmosphere" are far too
superficial sentimentally for the
strong minds of UR here at North
Park.
John Holmgren.
Give Us a Break
Dear Edie,
How about giving the evening
school students a break and telling
us where we can get hold of the
NEwm. We're interested, too, whether
you think so or not. H. B.
• • •
Wants Efficiency
Dear Edie,
Why doesn't the school provide a
pencil sharpener for student use in
the library' It would not only save
the time it takes to dash down to the
book store and back again, but would
also eliminate the physical incon-venience.
After all, we get enough
exercise in the Gym classes.

Fan Mail
Dear Edits,
Bill Eckinann, that ecaudate \
ample of evolution, has aroused my
ire. But being a gentleman, I will au
press my feelings and say that if Eck-mann
thinks he is witty, he should
read "Snowbound"; the author of
that was Whittier.
I remain an interested reader—
that is, when I manage to get my

PEN SCRATCHES
EDITOR — Dar Pond
A Morning Sketch
Five o'clock came, gray and damp, 1 dressed hurried-ly
and crept down the worn, wooden stairs. Passing
Mom's plants, I noticed that their fragrance seemed
foreign in the coolness of tile dawn. Somewhere across
the lake, a lone screech owl gave a prolonged hoot
Over to tile west it was still deep gray, but from the
east the sun was rising swiftly, and the dew on the
deep grass in the yard sparkled.
I passed around the side of the house, inhaling from
the lush lawn a fresh, grassy scent that seemed a part
of the morning. Continuing toward the pasture, I had
to cross the freshly plowed truck patch, and I knew till'
earth would cling to my shoes. over the entire black
field, a gauze of dew and delicate spider webs threw
back the sun's rays. Where I stepped, the surface be-cattle
depressed, and deep black pits gave up an aroma
of fertility and richness. I knew that green, c-,
cabbage would be growing in this field in a few el, ..!
weeks, and it would be good. It was easy to picture
field as it would be — as it always had been befori
I derived a pleasant sensation from walking on till:
thick clumps of sod. They resisted my steps a moment
and then crumbled beneath me. When I reached the
far side, I turned and looked back over my tracks.
Too bad the sun would be coming up and soon dry
those clods.
Joe
His hair was a foam-white halo,
His fingers were gnarled and strong.
His body was twisted from labor,
But his heart was singing a song.
His step was slow and certain,
Of life he had lived a fill,
I felt that the sky dropped a curtain,
When Joe trudged over the hill.
Mistaken Identity
Nearly all the comments on last week's short story
were in the sante vein. They questioned the constant
use of overfed words throughout the story. While this
characteristic seems to be one of the author's most out
standing, it seems to me that he could gain a great
deal by limiting himself to fewer big words in his
writing and emphasizing occasional thoughts with the
injection of one of his "giant-killers."
Let's have opinion on all "Pen Scratches," anonym
ous or otherwise. DIP.
Somebody's Home
A grand old house stands by the way.
With stuccoed age its crown is gray;
And ivy, with its sinuous grace.
Has bearded its once-youthful face.
The lofty maples bow with ease
Before the vagrant, fragrant breeze.
The velvet lawn so smooth and green,
Surrounds this mansion all serene.
Gay buds reflect the speckled light
The sun sheds in its evening flight.
The broken walks, their burdens bear.
Of steps of time and toil and care,
Lead back into tne heart of home
To guide with joy, their sons who roam.
Old house! What stories yw- could tell,
Of those who in your bosom dwell;
Gay tales of joy and happy youth,
Sad songs of grief atul hitter truth.
THESE CO.EDS
Coeds at the University of California are
sure now that Stanford gals can't take it.
During the recent cold snap many Stan-ford
coeds abandoned their silk lingerie for
furry-red, flannel underwear. Palo Alto mer-chants
completely sold out and claimed that
Stanford women had been the heaviest
buyers.
But did the University of California fe-males
go in for the "scarlet scratchies":t Not
on your life. When proprietors of Berkeley
stores were asked if they sold the brilliantly-hued
underwear, they were taken aback.
"Red flannels?" cried one proprietress,
arching her eyebrows. "I didn't even know
they mere on the market anymore in Cali-fornia."
Another admitted that she had just one
steady customer for "woolies," but "she is a
lady well over 70 years old."

"No more tiller skating partiez; this

Donald Peterson and his gang of stu-dent
councilors after they had pulled
off one of the biggest social times in
the current season a week ago last
Monday night at Hollywood Barns.
It seems as though there had been
sonie doubt in the minds of many
whether all the tickets would be sold,
but, in competition with the Red
Cross hood-relief collection taken up
on the day of the party, the sales
broke all records—so much so that
the council president that night open-ly
admitted having sold some bids

Mr. Saehar believes that the Ameri-can

capitalism, socialism, and fascism, re-spectively.

But Lydia Pohl, of the Barbara r

feminine beauties, the dummy which
was carefully draped for the home-coming

by Miss Sohlberg, for she
seemed to relish demolishing it.
Valentines played an important role
in the lives or the inmates at the
"Hall." Each girl had a secret valen

Dormville, which is being scooped

Harold Haglund, and Jerry Hallgren.

use each other's powder puff for the

now occupying a room with a south-ern

By the time that this page goes

either have won undisputed claim
to the conference crown, or tied
with Morgan Park, whom they
