MR. OWENS REPORTS ON PSYCHOLOGICAL MEETING

During the Christmas holidays Mr. Owens attended a meeting of The American Psychological Asso-ciation from various colleges and universities at Iowa City.

The meeting was in honor of the dedication of the new Psychologi-cal laboratory established at Iowa's State University.

As Mr. Owens mentioned sev-eral very prominent men in the field of psychology who attended the convention looks of cognizance passed over the faces of the juniors and seniors while freshmen and sophomores looked puzzled. Among the celebrities were Dr. Judd, Dr. Seashore, Dr. Waren and Walter Hunter, the newly elected presi-dent for the coming year.

Mr. Hunter has distinguished himself with his experiments with raccoons in an effort to determine whether animals reason or not.

Mr. Owens remarked that sev-eral incidents arose in discussion which caused a bit of amusement, especially Dr. Waren's comment to the speaker who endeavored to name the incidents of classroom conduct and their opposites. When the speaker named biting finger nails as one of these incidents, Dr. Waren asked, "What is the oppo-site of nail biting?"

The next meeting of this group is to be held in Toronto, Canada.

JR. HI CLUB WILL SPONSOR VALENTINE PARTY

An all-college Valentine party is in preparation by the members of the Junior High School Club. The date for this event is set at Feb-ruary 7. Committees under the direction of Edith Whittier, Calvin Barkow, Dorothy Orr, Merlin Berg, and Alma Smith are already working so that every detail will be complete to make the party a success. The famous "Whiteis' Collegians" will furnish the music, and a special program of unusual interest will offer entertainment.

All members of the faculty and student body and their friends are invited. Guest slips may be se-cured from Miss Richards.

A program of unusual interest was the feature of the January meeting of the Primary Club. Mr. Pio Doronio discussed the mar-riage customs , and schools of the Philippine Islands. In closing, he sang the national anthem of the Islands.

THREE STUDENTS PRESENT NEW BOOKS TO COLLEGE A number of new books have

been added to the library this winter quarter. There are books on a variety of subjects, and espe-cially are there many good ones in the fields of Music and Art.

To those who are members of Miss McKinley's dancing class during the winter quarter, it may be of interest to know that there is now a book on "The Art of Social Dancing."

Among the new books are two which were given the school by three of our students from the Philippine Islands. The books are, "The Hero of the Filipinos" by Charles Edward Russell and E. B. Rodriguez, and a play "Rizal" by H. P. Scott and C. P. Romulo.

MISS McKINLEY DESCRIBES EUROPEAN TRIP TO Y.W.C.A.

Miss McKinley gave an inter-esting informal discussion of her trip to Europe for a Y.W.C.A. meeting Sunday, January 18th. She outlined in interesting detail the itinerary of her trip. Her per-sonal experiences were thoroughly enjoyed second-hand by her lis-teners. She told of the time when she got lost on an ambitious hike; of thrilling sojourns at the home of two actors in the "Passion Play;" of the day when Miss Ellingson had to demonstrate gargling in order to make the druggist understand that she wanted a mouth wash.

Miss McKinley illustrated her remarks with vivid and appropriate post cards. She showed a novel way of writing letters home on loose leaf notebook paper which she later made into a travel diary.

She concluded by saying that her first trip was merely an intro-duction to the others she plans on making, and urging everyone to go to Europe sometime.

MUSICAL PROGRAMS ARE PRESENTED IN CHAPEL As a result of suggestions placed

on the spindle in the corridor, we have had several very interesting chapel programs of late. The first of these was an organ selection. During this same program Presi-dent Maxwell told us some very interesting facts about our own organ. At another of these chapel hour programs the Apollo Club sang several numbers. The au-dience seemed especially pleased with the number, "Won't You Please Be My H-m-m?"

On Thursday the twenty-second, Cal Barkow sang a group of solos.

He sang several well appreciated songs among which were "Gypsy John" and "Darling My Own."

FEATURE EDITOR URGES YOU TO TAKE PICTURES Don't forget your camera when

you go hiking, skating or tobag-goning! The Feature Editor of the 1931 "Wenonah" and his assistants urge you to remember the snapshot contest from January fifteenth to March first.

There are three prizes offered. The first prize is a copy of the 1931 "Wenonah," for the cleverest picture handed in; the second is a box of candy for the most artistic snapshot; the third, also a box of candy, is to be awarded the person handing in the greatest number of pictures.

"Dusty" Rhodes urges you to get busy! Remember to put your names on the pictures when you hand them in. Pictures may be given to "Dusty" Rhodes, Clem Brown, or Jessie Perry. If you can't find any of these people, then leave them in the Activities Room.

STATE GIVES MOORHEAD FOUR NEW BUILDINGS

A bill has been passed by the state legislature appropriating $800,000 for the building of four new college buildings at Moorhead, one of our sister schools.

Last year the college hall at Moorhead was destroyed by fire. There has been very speedy action in an effort to replace this loss.

The money will be used for the construction of a new main admin-istration, classroom and library

LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS PRESENTS COMEDY AT T.C.

The League of Women Voters of Winona presented the fast comedy "Loose Ankles", on Thursday eve-ning in the college auditorium.

The play was to have been given on January 23, but owing to the sudden illness of Mrs. George who was to have played one of the lead-ing roles, it was postponed. Miss Florence Butler a member of the cast, took the part given up by Mrs. George and Miss Butler's part was played by Edith Whittier of the college. Katherine Mac-Pherson, a former member of the Wenonah Players, played the lead-ing feminine role.

Light and fast moving, the play raced along from one fun producing scene to another. There was little time during the performance that the audience did not keenly enjoy the humorous situations.

The play was directed by Mrs. Milton Spencer, well known in Winona for her work in drama.

The cast was as follows:

Ann Harper Katherine MacPherson Ethel Harper Houghton (her

sister) Mrs. Michael White Jasper Houghton (her brother-

in-law) Pete Johnson Jessie Harper Lawton (her sis-

ter) Edith Whittier Harvey Lawton (her brother-in-

law) A. M. Goergen Sarah Elling (her aunt) Mrs. Frank Browne

PARENTS ENTERTAINED AT KINDERGARTEN MEETING The annual meeting of the Kin-

dergarten Mother's Club at which the fathers were entertained was held Tuesday evening January thirteenth in the Kindergarten room in the Library building.

Miss Sutherland, the speaker of the evening, emphasized the neces-sity of a close relationship between the home and the school. Her topic was "A Sign on the Lamp-post."

The Club was favored with the following numbers by the Apollo Club: "Vive la S.T.C.", "In Silent Mead," "Massa Dear," "Were You There?", "I Fear No Foe," "Wanted a Wife" and "Please Won't You Be My — H-M?"

The Mendelssohn Club banquet which was to have taken place January 23 has been postponed until the latter part of February.

DIE-NO-MO TO PRESENT VAUDEVILLE SHOW

The climax of the winter's en-tertainment will take form in the Die-No-Mo Vaudeville show, Feb-ruary 21. The events open with a snappy chorus of girls followed by two hours of delightful comedy which includes an ultra modern skit, a one-act play, a clever song number by T. C.'s world-famed twins, a magician act, a costume monologue, an acrobatic run, and an unknown, anticipated some-thing from the faculty. The Flora-dora Sextet will add a colorful ending to the features all of which are going to produce the best Die-No-Mo show Winona has yet seen.

With the very competent direc-tion from Mr. Don Karrow, the production is well under way prom-ising a gay future.

JOIN ATHLETIC EXPERTS FORM YOUR OWN OPINION

We were rather amazed the other evening to have one of the digni-fied coeds of the college inquire of us more about the details of our contest. Much more amazement was in store for us, however, when more of her kind asked for news. Perhaps we are not loyal to our sex, but we know of no greater satisfaction that might be derived than that of giving that prize box of chocolates to one of the ladies of the college.

May we repeat the rules? You were asked to attend three special home games. Rochester having displayed her ability, we ask that you see Mankato and St. Cloud in action. From these three teams plus Winona's, we ask you to pick the two best forwards, two best guards, and a center. On the eve of the St. Cloud game, final entry slips will be given you on which you will put your team and your name and then hand them in. One nominated team to each individual student is permissable. On with the contest!

THE ATHLETIC FIELD The athletic field is covered with

snow But sturdy and staunch it stands Awaiting the thud of the football

squad And the cheers of a thousand hands. Time was when the field was a-

glimmer with light And the gridiron was green and

fair. That was the time when our T. C.

boys Struggled so nobly there.

W.S.T.C. TO BROADCAST EVERY TUESDAY NIGHT Winona T. C. is going on the

air as a permanent part of the vast number of organizations which contribute to the entertainment hourly furnished to radio fans.

The broadcasting will be done through station WKBH of La Crosse from the Winona Studio in the Choate building. The time is from 6:00 to 6:30 every Tuesday evening.

Several broadcasts have fea-tured the musical organizations of the college under the competent direction of Miss Strouse with the Apollo Club and Mr. Grimm with the Mendelssohn Club.

A college committee has been appointed to arrange the presen-tations of the future. The pro-grams will be representative of every phase of college life — plays by the Dramatics Class, novelty numbers by members of the stu-dent body, various readings and interesting dramatic selections, in-strumental music, and short talks about the Teachers College itself. The members of the Broadcasting Committee are: Howard Roy, pres-ident of Wenonah Players; Corwin Jones, president of the Apollo Club; Myrna Reese, president of the Mendelssohn Club; Miss Watts; Mr. Grimm; and Mr Reed.

ORGANIST GIVES RECITAL AT METHODIST CHURCH Arthur Thompson, organist and

teacher, gave a recital of Wag-nerian music at the Central Meth-odist church on Sunday evening, January twenty-fifth.

Dr. Parish briefly sketched the life of Richard Wagner. Born in Leipzig in 1813, he was the son of an actor who did much to teach his son an appreciation of art.

The works of Beethoven and Weber fired the musical ambitions of Wagner and inspired him to do great things while he was still a young man. He was but seventeen years old when his first overture was performed. Wagner did not confine himself to music alone; he believed that a combination of all the arts is necessary to a perfect unit of art.

He conceived the idea of a "festival theater" to which every year, many music lovers go to hear musical performances.

Because of ill health, he went to Venice for a season of rest and died there in 1883.

Mr. Thompson's interpretation of the works of Wagner was en-joyed by all who heard it. The audience seemed to enjoy especial-ly the playing of "Isolde's Love Death" from "Tristram and Isolde". This is the final scene in Wagner's finest opera.

WINONA BASKETBALL SQUAD EXHIBITS LATEST STYLES

Perhaps, you haven't been aware of it, but the varsity basketball team has been wearing the very latest in basketball equipment in its games to date. New trunks, jerseys, and sweat uniforms have been issued to the lucky first team men before each public game. As far as the writer can determine, basketball styles are not evolved in Paris. But wherever the style center may be, Winona State Teachers College has made a prac-tice of being in direct contact with it.

We should be proud that our team looks excellent on any floor both from a playing and correct attire viewpoint.

Alumni News The fire of December, 1922,

destroyed almost all historical ma-terial then belonging to the insti-tution. The valued group pictures of the early classes, gathered with effort and preserved with care; graduating essays of former days; printed circulars . and programs that served to recall outstanding events, apparatus, maps, materials of interest and value, all were lost.

Former members of the school, or others who have or find any such objects, programs, letters, or records of former years, will confer the greatest favor upon the insti-tution if they will send to it any or all such mementoes.

The College was glad to receive the past week, a well preserved photograph of the main building, taken in about 1896, soon after the completion of the southwest wing containing the observatory for astronomy. This photograph was presented by Gen. and Mrs. C. H. Berry to Miss Anna Belling, now Mrs. Fred Gerecke of Winona. It is the only photograph of its kind to be owned by the College and the gift if therefore especially appreciated.

One of the great problems facing our nation today is, without a doubt, Prohibition. It is brought constantly to our attention in the daily press where whole pages and even sections are devoted to that topic alone.

It was one of the issues of the Presidential campaign of 1928 and will very likely be the most important issue of the campaign of 1932.

It is quite clear to all of us that the enforcement of Prohibition is not successful and that the whole liquor situation is far from satisfac-tory. The enormous amount of accidents caused by drunken driving, bootlegging, the large number of speakeasies, the making of liquor in the home and its effect on youth, the new popularity of drinking among the women and youth of our nation, and the strain on federal courts are a few of the deplorable facts of the present situation. Yet, was the situation less deplorable before the Eighteenth Amendment was adopted? We are quite sure we do not want saloons and all they stand for again as that would be a distinct step backward.

Public opinion is divided into three groups. The radical wets who see no progress or good in the present situation under Prohibition, the radical drys, who simply shut their eyes 'and refuse to see that there are any defects under the Prohibition law, and the vast middle group who are aware of both the merits and the defects of prohibition and who are at a loss to know what is the next step.

Perhaps this seems extremely remote and distant from our carefree, irresponsible, youthful college lives but we are soon to go out as teach-ers to take our place as leading and highly esteemed citizens and prohibition too, will be our problem!

It seems that nearly all people are eternally egoist. Nothing seems to concern them more than themselves. That achievement can be not great unless it is individual, does not seem to enter the minds of people. After all, how little, how insignificant, one person is in the scheme of life! Without the help or presence of others he would be continually groping, trying to attain a form of existence. Alone we are helpless; with others, we become powerful.

It is the constant co-operation of the forces of human nature that make a good life possible. If these forces of human nature pull together, we call it "team-work". If they pull apart in an effort to stand out and be individual, we call it "playing to the gallery." How many of us are using whole-hearted team-work in our every day lives? How many of us ever try to help another person achieve success? Have you ever thought how such aid to another person might enrich your own life?

Let us use the spirit of team-work. Let a spirit of helpfulness abide in our lives. Give the other fellow a kind word, a bit of help. It will aid him to success as well -as make the success of your own life more assured. From "The MiSTiC". — E. B. S.

It is a human tendency particularly attributed to the modern age to take that which is pleasant and beneficial for granted and to com-plain over that which is unpleasant or inconvenient.

Following this principle a majority of the students who come to Winona State Teachers College expect a well equipped building with a gymnasium and laboratories and such things without a question or any show of appreciation.

It requires something in the nature of President Maxwell's explana-tion in chapel concerning the planning and effort put into our present college building to wake us out of our complacency and "matter of course" attitude. When our eyes are opened to the great benefits which are made possible by a little inconveniences, we have a new interest in the institution which we consider ours.

Why not stop now and then in the busy round of everyday activities to appreciate the surroundings which have been provided for our benefit?

C WINONAN SACHEMS

We have chosen for the Sachem this week a girl whom we believe to be the most active mem-ber of the sophomore class. Maryon Zabel of Plainview is known by both teachers and stu-dents as being one of the busiest and most capable students in this school.

Maryon began her very interesting career here as a freshman, being a member of the Wenonah Players, the Y.W.C.A., W.A.A., Junior High Club, and a reporter on the "Winonan."

She still continues her membership in these organizations and is now the second assistant editor of the "Winonan" and a member of the annual staff.

Among the honors she has been given this year, we may mention — the presidency of the sophomore class, vice presidency of W.A.A., presidency of the Y.W.C.A., membership in the Representative Council, and parts in various college plays.

Maryon has been an honor teacher and has been on the honor roll nearly every quarter of her attendance here. She is recognized as a leader and is liked and respected by all for her attractive personality.

The person who can quickly adjust himself to a situation and act in an admirable manner is what we call a "regular sport." He can take defeat with a smiling countenance, congratulate the winner, and per-haps have a good natural joke to bind them as friends. His loss is an incentive to him to work a little harder and master his weakness. As a winner, he takes his congratulations calmly, and never permits it to "turn his head," but goes on as though little had happened. He takes advantage of every opportunity given him, but never infringes on the rights of others.

In short, a good sport is a good winner and a good loser!

There is a common complaint, "Oh, you're never satisfied!" The fitting answer is, "No, and I'm proud of it!"

Dissatisfaction is -one of the greatest blessings the Divine Maker ever bestowed upon us! How far does the person progress who is perfectly satisfied? This is a puzzling question until we glance over the progress of nations. Compare the progress of the southern European and Africa with that of the restless North American. They are satis-fied with life and conditions; we, thank God, are not!

NATIONAL ANTHEM OF THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS I love my own, my native land,

Philippines, my Philippines; To thee I give my heart and hand,

Philippines, my Philippines, The trees that crown thy mountains grand The seas that beat upon the strand Awake my heart to thy command,

Philippines, my Philippines.

Ye islands of the eastern sea, . Philippines, my Philippines;

Thy people we shall ever be, Philippines, my Philippines;

Our fathers lived and died on thee, And soon shall come the day when we Lie down with them in God's decree,

Philippines, my Philippines.

The Bulletin of the College pre-sented to the Alumni Society a special edition of the quarterly under date of November, 1930. This issue contains a brief history of the Alumni Society, directory of the officers of the society from its organization in 1875, a review of the 18th annual M.E.A. reunion in Minneapolis last October, the articles of incorporation for the re-organization of the society, to-gether with other items of interest and importance. The response to the appeal for annual and life memberships is favorable, the sec-retary, Miss Mabel Marvin, re-ceiving several new memberships each week.

Mr. Orville Risser of the class of 1924, who was pursuing work in the senior college during the fall quarter, withdrew during the Christmas recess to accept a posi-tion in the Junior High School of Albert Lea, Minnesota.

Vera Davis Bonnern, 1923, is living in Nampa, Idaho.

Helen D. Olson, 1926, is planning to take extension courses at Huron College and then transfer to the University of Minnesota for her degree. Her address is care of Huron Clinic, Huron, South Da-kota.

OUR INTERESTING PEOPLE How many of you would take a

free trip to France and Switzerland if it were offered to you? We can't quite hand out opportunities like that, but here's the next best thing, seeing these countries through the eyes of Marie Rypka.

Marie lived in Lyons until 1915 then moved to Geneva, Switzer-land to avoid the war. Her family lived in town during the winter, but the summer was spent on a country estate in the mountains. Many Sundays were spent in tak-ing mountain trips. Another pas-time was traveling around Lake Geneva by boat. The trip took one full day. Some of the views during this excursion were magnifi-cent. In the distance could be seen Monte Blanc; close by were vineyards, and all the terraced hills.

Now, let us visit a school. The boys and girls are not found in the same classrooms, but the boys occupy one part of the schoolhouse while the girls hold classes in an-other part. The school year there is ten months long, and we sigh to think of nine whole months! Every year the school takes a trip to some historical spot.

Report cards are made in the form of books, which include rules for conduct in school and in public. The marks are on the basis of 10. Their 10 is equivalent to our 100. At the end of each school year prizes were given to the best pupils. First prize was a gilt edged book and a wreath, second prize was a plain book, while third prize was a certificate.

Marie speaks of the day the armistice was signed — cannons were being shot, soldiers were marching, and speeches were being made by all the important people in Geneva. In Geneva each person flies the flag of his own native land, not the flag of Switzerland. The streets were alive with flags that day, big flags, little ones, all kinds, all colors.

Miss Rypka left Europe in March. Think of it, a little girl who could say only "yes" and "tea" in English, sailing across the "bia

b pond" alone. Marie stayed

on Ellis Island for several days because no one was in New York to meet her. She says, "That was the most terrible experience of my life. The rooms had bars at the windows, and it was just like a prison." Who would enjoy an ex-perience like that?

From New York, Marie travelled to Chicago, after staying there for several weeks she went to Owa-tonna. She says "English wasn't very hard to learn, I came here in April, and went to school in Sep-tember."

Marie says the only thing she had trouble with was our windows. Only the very old fashioned win-dows in France push up as ours do, perhaps she thinks ewe are behind the times, at least in the detail of window architecture.

Marie has now enrolled in the Winona State Teachers College and is interested in the Junior High School course.

PEOPLE WE'D LIKE TO MEET 1. The person who gets up when

his alarm clock goes off. 2. The magazine salesman who

really is working his way through college.

3. The girl who turns down a good date to study her lessons.

4. The staff typist who waits in the Activities Room ready to type.

5. The person who takes a cold shower every morning.

6. The dormitory girl who has never signed out for the library.

Brown — "Do we sing 'All Through the Night'?"

Kohler — "No, we're just sing-ing for twelve minutes."

MANKATO DOWNS WINONA; TAKES LITTLE TEN LEAD Mankato took undisputed lead

in the Southern Division of the Little Ten, January 24. The Kato team, with a line-up of veterans, defeated Winona in a hard, bruis-ing battle on the Mankato floor. The final score of 29 to 25 was attained after both teams had put in ten minutes of the hardest driv-ing basketball seen in these parts for a number of years.

The Winonans were at a slight disadvantage because of the small floor on which they had to play. All available space outside of the floor markers was occupied by the substitutes, scorers' bench, and the onlookers. The small balcony was packed to overflowing with basket-ball enthusiasts from the city; downstairs, small sections of bleach-ers occupied cramped space and held most of the student body and a pep band; on the stairways and in the doorways, spectators leaned on and pushed other spectators to get a glimpse of the play; overhead, a narrow balcony hung perilously from three side-walls and tried successfully to hold up its stamp-ing, clamoring burden; suspended from the balcony edges, two cross-court baskets extended out over the sidelines and the players below; a low roof, supported by thick girders, together with all of the other things, gave one an impres-sion of restriction. Several times, shots from mid court struck the girders of the ceiling; several times, long passes were snared from the bands of the receiver by the inno-cent side baskets projecting over the playing floor. Your corres-pondent does not relate these facts as a method of criticism; on the contrary, he does so because all other conference teams that have played on the floor say that Man-kato should have a new gymnasium and that, as the chapel book says, "right early."

Winona started the game with Opera and Griffith at forwards, McKibben at center, and Captain Kramer and Norby at guards. Mankato had Arndt and Captain McMurty at forwards, Kaster at center, and Deets and Kienhalz at guards. Kienhalz and Kaster are the tallest men playing in the southern division. Mankato con-trolled the tip off most of the time because McKibben could not quite make the height that the taller Kaster was making. Mankato was especially dangerous under the Wi-nona basket because of superior height.

Winona worked its usually effec-tive passing attack for the first quarter, but the height and long reach of the Mankatoans soon began to slow up the efforts. Mankato played a careful game in an effort to draw out the fast Winona for-ward line. The first half ended with Winona having a slight ad-

vantage in the matters of free throwing and shooting from the floor. The score was 17 to 11 in favor of Winona team.

The Mankato men came back with a rush at the beginning of the third quarter. Things happened fast. Mankato had tied the score, and Bob Griffith had been ejected from the game with four fouls be-fore Winona took time out to con-sider matters. After resuming play, Mankato gradually pulled ahead. At this point caution was thrown out the window and both teams played hard driving ball. Deets, Mankato's star guard, was ejected in the fourth quarter on four fouls after grabbing Art Kern by the seat of his trunks — earlier in the game Art was fouled for wrapping an arm about one of Deets' lower limbs in an effort to detain him.

In the final minutes of the game Mankato managed to retain a lead of several points to finish in the lead.

The final score was 29 to 25. The city is assured an extraor-

dinary game when Mankato comes over to play the return game with Winona. Mankato will be fighting to retain the top rung in the con-ference. You can depend on them to be scrapping every minute. As for our boys — well! you will see how they can scrap on the night of that game!

Start beating Mankato now!

GOPHERS LEAVE CELLAR AND DEFEAT BADGERS With Glass running wild, the

Gophers scampered out of their dungeon and left the Wild Cats to occupy the cellar alone. By send-ing the ball through the hoop often enough to score ten points, Glass was instrumental in defeating the highly touted Badgers.

To date, the Badgers have been the biggest disappointment in league play. Just why they are unable to win games with Risty, Gethman and O'Dea is beyond us. The Gophers were leading 12-6 at the end of the half. Gethman with 8 points led the losers' scoring.

BUNNIES BURROW OUT; VICTORY OVER GOPHERS Captain Nihart took his "Bun-

nies" out of the cabbage patch long enough to win a 16-13 victory over Rossi's Gophers. By winning the second game in as many starts, the "Bunnies" took on the aspect of being the "dark horses" of the tournament.

After establishing a sound lead in the first quarter during which they acquired a 6-0 lead, they found the Gophers tunneling under them to cut the lead to 8-6 at the half.

Continuing their smooth work, they finally undermined the "Bun-nies" to topple them and gather a 11-8 lead. Burrowing out of the debris, the Rabbits came back into their own to gather a 16-13 win for the final.

WOLVERINES OUTPLAY COUGARS BY 26-6

Battling for the lead with the victor in all possibility the intra-mural champ, the Cougars and Wolverines clashed. The Wolver-ines took an 8-1 lead in the first quarter.

The Wolverines, playing their same cautious game, continued to net the ball often enough to com-mand a 12-3 lead at the half. Johnson with five free throws out of 8, led the attack. His rhythmic attempts continued to swish thru the net throughout the game mak-ing six out of seven attempts at the foul line besides contributing

three field goals. The team that stops him will cut the Wolverines scoring power fifty percent. Con-tinuing to riddle the Cougars' de-fense the rest of the game, they won by a final score of 26-6. We will have to admit that the Cougars played the last half in a lackadais-ical manner and dejected spirit. Much can be said of their sports-manship, but we simply say that they are the nominees for the poorest sportsmen of the tourna-ment.

THE BADGERS DEFEAT WILD CATS 29-10

With Captain Risty and Cap-tain Erwin fighting to lead their teams out of the cellar, the second week of the intramural tournament opened. Weakened by the loss of Anderson, who had discontinued his college career, the Wild Cats were on the short end of the deal and seemed destined to remain "cellar champs" for at least an-other week. With what we believe to be the poorest passing team in the league, the Wild Cats trailed 15-2 at the end of the half.

With McCluskey going out on personals, the Wild Cats were further weakened and lost by a final score of 29-10. Erwin's ad-vancing of the ball up the court was the only redeeming feature. Gethman, O'Dea and Risty led the attack of the Badgers.

WILD CATS UNABLE TO DEFEAT WOLVERINES

As was expected, the Wolverines had little trouble in dispensing the Wild Cats. Holding the Wild Cats scoreless during the first half while accumulating the total of eleven points, the Wolverines went still better when Hyduke came through with three field goals in the second half. Saari and Peterson each scored a basket for the Wild Cats, while the Wolverines divided their scoring.

GEBHARD HIGH SCORER IN TOURNAMENT GAME

The "dark horse," or rather Bunnies, continued to run rough-shod over their opponents, but it was really more of an individual triumph than anything else. Geb-hard crashed through from his guard position to score a total of thirteen points. The Cougars' for-wards were unique because of their failure to score a single point dur-ing the game. Rice, playing a center position, led the Cougar scoring with three field goals and two gift shots.

Although baseball seems to have been hit by a number of vacation days, it still has plenty of days ahead of it. Perhaps there are some girls who have a free hour every Monday between three and five o'clock. If so, we are quite sure you would thoroughly enjoy a try at hitting the ball.

We still don't know who got the best deal — Europe gave us Ein-stein; we gave them Sinclair Lewis.

Coach Galligan asked Mullen how much he tipped the scales. Moon replied modestly, "Never more than a penny."

Bob Griffith is in training for boxing — he's learning to run back-wards.

And now we are informed of the startling news that Mr. Jederman speaks three languages — English, German, and Profane.

Our idea of a wet party would be five T. C. girls at a sad movie, with only one handkerchief.

And then there was the dumb T. C. girl who thought a derrick was an instrument used to lift faces.

George Nihart wishes to an-nouce that everybody may now call him by his new nickname, "Bunny."

Would you ever think Bernie Kramer was superstitious? He emphatically stated that the last two victories for T. C. were due to the fact that he carried a penny in his shoe.

Life is like a deck of cards: When you fall in love, it's hearts. When you're engaged, it's diamonds When yoU're married, it's clubs, And when you die, it's spades.

Bob Griffith is a very modest and innocent little boy; believe it or not, but it's true. When Walter Enger asked him if he wanted a date, Bob modestly replied, "Why, are they spoiled?"

The Junior High School Club searched in vain for enough mem-bers to place on the clean up corn: mittee, — so they chose Henry Southworth.

And then there was the dumb little freshman who thought all chain stores were hardware stores.

When Glass aspired to become a member of the Wenonah Players, Miss Watts asked him if he had ever spoken in public, he replied, "I once proposed to a girl over the telephone in my home town."

Two things that are helping mankind to get up most are alarm clocks and step-ladders.

People and pins are alike in a way — they're both useless when they lose their heads.

THE WINONAN

W.A.A. QUERIES OF A BYSTANDER

1. Who punctured all the win-dows in the library gym?

(Answer) Members of the women's indoor

baseball league who practice every Monday. Windows have been broken recently so you see the players are becoming more and more adept at their chosen sport. They expect to play tournament games shortly. Here's hoping the new window screens arrive soon and prove worthy.

2. What did Bernadetta King catch during baseball practice last week?

(Answer) We all wondered and so did she,

but Delia Hayes insisted that she throw whatever it was to first base.

3. How large is the women's indoor baseball league?

(Answer) None too large to exclude you.

The more the merrier, and we wel-come all new players.

4. Why have some people sud-denly taken to carrying around bits of lumber?

(Answer) Well, since that huge snow storm

a few days ago, they've taken to skiing. The sport seems to be of special interest with delightful thrills to those who have tried it.

5. Where may one obtain skiis? (Answer) There is one pair in Miss Mc-

Kinley's office that may be taken out when signed for, and there are two pairs at Shepard Hall.

IT COSTS MONEY TO RUN A SCHOOL LIKE THIS

When you glance over the Chapel assembly and see how many people are miraculously gathered here for the obvious intention of acquiring knowledge, experience, and friends, have you ever wondered how much it costs the State of Minnesota to keep us going?

Last quarter when books were dealt out did you wonder about what they would cost if they were not supplied for us by the benevo-lence of our Minnesota? Last year, $1,408.62 were spent for the books which we carelessly leave in our lockers until the night before the monthly test. $1,408.62 — think what that would mean in terms of board-bills, or sodas, or shows, or club dues!

When you've come in after office hours to have Anne get you a pen point, ten to one you've never even thought that office supplies are a big item in Winona T. C.'s housekeeping accounts. Those sup-plies represent $360.45.

When you get through with a close survey of the faculty as they sing the last hymn, next time re-flect on this: $103,781.09 are handed out in salaries to these faculty members. Who gets the nine cents?

And you who dine at Morey Hall — what do you think of this? Three bushels of potatoes are used in a day — and usually there aren't enough left over for hash. Twenty-five loaves of bread are sliced up to appease our appetites. Two hundred dollars pays the monthly cream bill; and it takes four hundred dollars to pay for the butter we so lavishly use.

While your mouths are still open in astonishment, here are some more "Believe it or Not" figures:

$8,966.74 spent for janitors' sal-aries.

$5,804.61 spent for fuel. $2,329.59 spent for light, water

and gas. With the knowledge that our

environment costs someone a lot of money, we can better appreciate the many fine conditions under which we work.

I hopped a caboose and came to T. C. I looked it over, just the place for

me. I signed a paper, got a pile of books Shoved them in a locker, didn't

like their looks. I looked at the time — it was awful

late Had to get a pass just to keep a

date Dashed up the stairway making

lots of noise Stopped to get a lecture (needed

much more poise) Reached the busy classroom, tried

to bluff the prof The prof. gave me zero and said

that was enough. 'Tweeny.

"I'm off that girl. She insulted me."

"How?" "She asked me if I danced." "What's insulting about that?" "I was dancing with here when

she asked me."

And then there was the Irish-man, who, while acting as director of a parade, placed all the straight and finely built men in front with the humpbacked and bowlegged ones bringing up the rear. He didn't want the people to say that the "Irish were crooked from the start."
