i Lt yee ‘ r University of North Dakota Alumni Club Elects Justice Nuessle President at Annual Banquet Davis Deplores Fraternal Com- petition Among Varsity Cam- pus Organizations Fifty-three persons attended the ~ annual reunion of the Bismarck- Mandan University of North Dakota |! Alumni club at a banquet held in the Prince hotel, Saturday evening. Blocked highways leading out of Bismarck and the flooded memorial highway between the Capital City and ‘Mandan cut the attendance, more than 200 alumni and former students of the university having been eligible to attend. Associate Justice W. L. Nuessle of ‘the state-supreme court who acted as toastmaster was elected president of the organization for the ensuing year. R, J. Kamplin, assistant attor- ney general, was named vice presi- dent and Miss Rita Murphy, daugh- ter of Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Murphy, was chosen secretary-treasurer. All of the new officers are residents of Bismarck. In addition to Judge Nuessle, speakers at the banquet were Mrs. Forrest M. Davis, vice president of the club, Governor and Mrs, George F, Shafer, Miss Alice Angus, secretary of the minimum wage board, and.J. E. Davis, chairman of the state board of administration, all alumni of the state university, ‘Two Governors Speak’ What the Governor of North Caro- lina said to the Governor of South Carolina will remain as much a mys- tery as what the real Governor of North Dakota said to the nominal Governor of North Dakota. Frances Kellogg Shafer, first lady of the commonwealth, was introduced by Judge Nuessle as truly a native born, raised and educated daughter as the real governor. In his turn Governor Shafer paid homage to the attributes and execu- tive ability of the nominal governor. What “Old Main,” the Liberal Arts college building at the university sup- planted by a new structure on Febru- ary 22, Founder’s day, did for the alumni, the new Merrifield hall will do for the future alumni of North Dakota university, Miss Angus said. Is Chapter In Progress Dedication of the new Liberal Arts building marks a new chapter in the history of the university, Miss Angus said. The passing of “Old Main” re- moves an historic connection for all alumni yet it marks progress, she said. Mr. Davis declared the time head come when the size of the local alumni club warranted inauguration of a move to establish the foundations for a student loan fund. In this con- nection he stated that the widow of former President Webster Merrifield recently had given $10,000 to a student Joan fund increasing bequests she has made previously. Disparaging the building competi- tion between f1 groups at the university, Mr. Davis declared he felt the alumni could do much to deter this spirit which he felt might have a detrimental effect on the growth of the institution. Lamentg Personal Contact Mr. Davis lamented the , lack of Personal contact between faculty members and their students and ex- pressed the belief that the enrollment of the university did not justify the growing absence of acquaintanceship which he felt was a valuable source of greater inspiration to both student and teacher. C. A, “Jack” West, athletic direc- tor and football coach at the univer- sity, has recently signed a contract to coach for three more years, Mr. Davis said. There is-no over-emphesis in any one branch of physical education at the university, Mr. Davis said, point- ing out the increasing participation of stugents in sports and the grow- ing number of teams in all branches of athletics. Alumni Active In State Contrasting the number of alumni living in the state when he graduated 4n 1899 to the number now resident, Judge Nuessle stated there were few ‘communities in North Dakota where alumni or former students could not be found. and Mrs. R. &.

City-County Briefs | ae Thompson left today for ua Women Suffering Bladder Irritation 4 it t i EStk i E g | : ti gf See iF i g i 4 Susan Ertz in “The Galaxy” her latest novel, fashions an interesting narrative out of a negligible plot and ia theme di mainly to the essen- tional life of an English woman of the late Victorian age. The story is rather sordid but made plausible by the intimate knowledge which the au- thor manifests of British life in those times. | tt is a history of Laura Deverall raised by typical Victorian parents in @ bigoted age. She and her brother James had none of the freedom to which the youth of the time were be- ginning to feel they had inherent right. As they grew up they felt that the sooner they could escape the influ- ence of their narrow-minded father the better, with the result that Laura eventually married at the earliest op- portunity and James left home in spite of inherited poor health and no money. Laura later fell in love with an- other man. This led to an impasse about which the story is chiefly con- cerned. The author cleverly portrays the influence of people and events upon Laura and in the end Laura looks upon her life as a “galaxy of. scenes and faces and delights.” ‘The author does not write in a par- ticularly distinguished manner but she does known how to tell a story. With a certain deftness she misses being melodramatic at times by in- jecting into the theme references to the political exigencies of England, or, happenings of the day, which, because of their national importance, are of interest to the reader.

Members of the committee in charge include Prof. A, C. Berg, C. P. Birkelo, Other recommendations of the fed-| The book is really more valuable for its insight into the life of the times than for lot or narrative sig- nificance. Periodically B. M. Bower brings out @ new novel. Her books being of the light fiction class do not pretend at any time to be at all profound or drably realistic and so are nearly al- ‘ways of interest. “Fools Goal” is not exception. It is an entertaining account of a rich young Chicagoan, who becomes tired of the city and decides to go out west and buy a ranch. He determines to carry his ready cash with him, some fifty thousand dollars, drawing the conclusion that since no one could possibly know he was carrying that sum around with him there could be no danger. But someone evidently found out about it for when he ar- rived in Wyoming he found himself engaged in a series of hold-ups very mysteriously perpetuated. In each case the thieves were baffled and failed to find the money. Thereupon lies the mystery. It is finally solved by the young Chicagoan in the end with the aid of a fair lady of the wide open spaces, and the reason made clear why the son of the Windy City carried the money with him instead of putting it in a bank. The sentiment of the story is logically carried out in typi- cal Boweresque style. The title of the book on Africa by Grace Flandreau reviewed. last week when the name was inadvertently omitted is “Then I Saw the Congo.” OO | 42,000 Wait for Pay | Cheques in Chicago + Chicago, Mar. 3.—(P)Today was payday—again.

Silas H. Strawn, relief committee chairman, summoned officials of the local governments to meet today tp contemplate the transfer of twelve millions of rescue cash into the de- pository. The payoff was to start as soon as this is done. Lake Travelers Name Hamilton, Counselor Devils Lake, N. D., Mar. 3—(?)—H. ‘W.

B. Strauss, who with Joseph Spies, another Lion, has been back from a trip to the coast but a few days. The doctor said an anta- gonistic attitude has developed to- ward the favorite son. One Los An- geles paper even referred to Calvin Coolidge, on his visit there, as a pos- sible candidate favored by California three years hence. The doctor had a lot of fish stories to tell, for he and Lion Spies did a good deal of angling 12 miles out. They also visited Mexico and enjoyed the horse racing. Both have been listed for furthertalks on their trip when the club holds its St. Patrick's night stag party, March 17. Back C. M. T. C.

Higgins, Mandan, census supervisor of the fifth district. He spoke of the scope of the coming cen- ‘sus, the taking of which starts April 1, It expects to show a population of 122,000,000, he said. It will cover, among other items, 30,000,000 house- holds, 6,000,000 farms, 2,000,000 stores and irrigation and drainage projects. There will be 125,000 enumerators, 40,000,000 schedule blanks will be used and 20,000 questions will be asked. The census goes back far into his- tory, said Supervisor Higgins. King David took one 3000 years ago, when he had the men of the sword in Is- rael ounted and found they number- ed_ 1,300,000. The Domesday Book of England in the days of William the Conqueror was another form of census, and it was for tax purposes.
