SONGS ARE SUBMITTED IN SWING-OUT CONTEST

The first prize song for the Swing-out Day is to be kept as a surprise. The following song written by R. O. Bjork won second place. It is to the tune of "How Can I Leave Thee'"

"How can we leave thee Thou only hast our hearts How can we leave? Thou hast our hearts entwined. So closely bound to thine, No other can we love, M. S. T. C.

The song which took third place was submitted by Hazel O'Day and is: Swing 'em out, oh swing 'em out,

Let's all be light and gay. For school is done yet work's begun So swing 'em out and play. Swing 'em out, oh swing 'em out, And chase all clouds away. It's the last time we're together, so Let's swing 'em out and play."

The Praeceptor delivery, which started Tuesday, May 17, is now prac-

, Jically complete. The book is built around the theme of Knighthood. Be­ginning with a hand-tinted section printed on special dull-finish paper, the book presents next the scenic sec­tion, followed by faculty, classes, "The Round Table," or organizations and activities, a college life section fea turing silhouettes representative of life at M. S. T. C., the representative students section, athletics, and humor.

The art work in the first section, the silhouettes in the college life section and the sketches of "Dungeons Vile," humor section, are perhaps the chief features. Hazel Hanson's sketch, ".Good Knight," is appropriate and clever.

The staff acknowledge the support of the various organizations and of all-school activities in particular, since the latter paid at the rate of one-third for the pages taken (with a maximum of $25).

It seems probable that the year­book will be a financial success. Lu­cille George, editor-in-chief, has been aided by a capable staff made up of Claude Nemzek, Alfred Tollefson, Oscar Haugh, Hazel Hanson, George Bowers, R. O. Bjork, Esther Jorgen-sq|i, Philip Strombo, Nellie Inglis, Ruth Tweeton, Anna Kriefels, Har­riet Morgan, and Alice Boyum. •W. C. White and Miss Margaret

*".VlcCarten aided the staff and the fac­ulty adviser in the production of the book. The scenic section is made up entirely of views taken by Mr. White. Miss McCarten aided in the general art scheme and in the organization of the art staff.

The contract for the engraving of the 1928 Praeceptor has again been given to Buckbee Mears of St. Paul, who did that work this year. Claude

Lxemzek, editor for 1928, is busy with 1 entative plans for the book. Prelim­inary art work will be done this summer.

Plans for "Swing-Out Day" are shaping themselves more definitely. Arrangements have been made for "Swing-Out" chapel exercises, to take place at 10:45, Wednesday, June 1. The "Swing-Out" banquet has also been arranged for, and reservations are at present coming in from alumni who plan to be present at the Com mencement exercises.

Jamestown won the second Inter­state College Conference Track and Field Meet held at Moorhead State Teachers College Memorial Field on the 25th of May with a total of 44 points. Valley City came second with 37 points, Wahpeton third with 16j points, Moorhead fourth with 13J points, Ellendale fifth with 5 points, and Mayville last with one point.

Several new records were made in the meet in spite of the fact that there was a stiff breeze which hin dered dash men at times. The track was rather soft because of recent heavy rains, which caused it to heave in places. It appears that the confer­ence is getting away to a good start in track, the baby sport of the loop.

Jamestown won six first places, four seconds, and two thirds. Valley City won four firsts, four seconds, and five thirds. Wahpeton got two firsts, two seconds, and tied for one third. Moorhead won one first, two seconds, and two thirds, one of the thirds be­ing a tie. Ellendale got one second and two thirds, and Mayville got one third.

Gray of Jamestown was the indi­vidual high scorer of the meet with a total of 16 points, winning first in the high and low hurdles and second in the 440 and high jump. Ellias of Valley City came in second with 15 points, winning first in the discus, shot-put and the broad jump. John­son of Wahpeton scored 10| points, getting first in the 220 and 440-yard dash and tied for third place with Myers of Moorhead in the high jump.

Schaumberg of Jamestown won first in the 880 and the mile. Brockmeier of Valley City copped first in the 100-yard dash and third in the 220-yard dash. Zech of Moorhead placed first in the javelin. K. Kurtz got first place in the high jump and tied his brother, L. Kurtz, for first place in the pole vault. Jamestown won the half-mile relay in good time.

The meet was run off in good time by the officials, and every member of the different teams displayed good sportsmanship. Stanley Borleske of­ficiated as referee in workmanlike manner. B. D. Murray, Hobart Lith erland, and Arlo Baldwin clocked the track events to the satisfaction of all. Bordsen, Strombo, T. Nemzek, Le land, Byler, Harold Preusse, and Ralph Smith acted as judges and scorers.

S u m m a r y . 100-yard dash: Brockmeier, Valley

City, first; Burchill, Valley City, 2nd; Kaiser, Mayville, third. Time, 10:6. (New record.)

BASEBALL GAME WITH MAYVILLE SATURDAY

Coach Nemzek's men will play their first and perhaps their last baseball game of the season with Mayville on Saturday, May 28th, on the Ped field, the game beginning at 2:30 in the afternoon.

Bowers will do the catching, while Frank Nemzek will be called upon to do the major part of the hurling. Zech will hold down first base; Strombo, second; Pike or Haugh, short, and Blilie, third. T. Nemzek, C. Nemzek, with either Syverson, Friedlund, or Wiek will fill the outfield posts.

T E N N I S A N D T R A C K

With the decision announced this week by Mr. Nemzek, Director of Ath letics, the College is adopting a plan of combined high school contests to be held on consecutive days in the spring. A track and field meet and tennis tournament, as well as the an­nual music contest, will be held.

It has been pointed out that most of the high school students of the dis­trict have been here during the music contests in the past. It is believed that the best time for the field meet and tennis tournament would be on the same week-end.

High school track teams have been slow in developing in this section of the country because of the lack of proper facilities for holding the meet. The College will no doubt have an excellent track to offer next spring. Much progress has been made already in the resurfacing.

Prospects are good, Coach Nemzek says, for a good high school meet next year. Students will probably get out earlier in the spring in order to get in shape.

Third and fourth year work at the Moorhead State Teachers College will be credited by the University of Min­nesota, according to a statement just received from the University by Pres. R. B. MacLean.

The ruling of the University Senate also provides that students holding degrees from Minnesota Teachers Col­leges will be admitted to the graduate school of the University with the pro­vision that they do satisfactory work for one or more quarters in that school.

Credits for all courses require that the work in those courses be equiva­lent in subject matter to courses in the particular college of the Univer­sity to which the student transfers. All students seeking degrees from the University must do the customary year of residence work at that insti­tution.

Moorhead State Teachers college is a member of the American Associa­tion of Teachers Colleges, Class A, and is one of the three Minnesota Teachers Colleges who are members of the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, Sec­tion of Institutions Primarily for Teacher-Training. The recent action of the University is further recogni­tion of the type of work being done by the college, according to President MacLean.

Ten students are candidates for de­grees this spring and summer. Eighty-two juniors were enrolled this year.

First and second year work will continue to receive "blanket" credit, or credit in .full, front the University college of education, or one-half cred­it in the College of Science, Litera­ture and Arts.

F u l l S t a t e m e n t The full statement of the action

taken by the University Senate re­garding Minnesota Teachers Colleges, as reported by R. R. Shumway, chair­man, follows:

(a) To continue the present plan for blanket credit for the first and second years of work (90 credits, College of Education; 45 for the Col­lege of Science, Literature and Arts).

(b) To allow credit for any part of the work of the last two years so far as such work is equivalent in sub­ject-matter to courses in the particu­lar college of the University to which the student transfers; not more than a total of three years of credit will be allowed toward a Bachelor's de­gree; and

(c) To admit applicants holding a Bachelor's degree from a Minnesota State Teachers College to the Grad­uate school, only after one or more quarters of preliminary work.

It was understood that for the present, this is a tentative arrange­ment, but that individual students who apply for transfer may be con­sidered on this basis."

CHORUSES GIVE FINAL CONCERT

The Chapel Choir gave a short but very pleasing program at chapel hour of Wednesday, May 25th. A full ap­preciation of their singing would note the delicacy of coordination with light resonant tones, displaying to the dis­interested what genuine vocal teach­ing technique does for a group ot singers.

Two solos were given by Glendiva Lysne, soprano, and Ethel Mortenson, alto. Their solos were "In the Garden of Tomorrow," by Jessie L. Deppne, and ''Sunset," by Dudley Buck, re­spectively. Both young singers were given the applause indicative of keen appreciation.

Final broadcasting of the year was given at the Garden studio, Fargo, at 6:30. The Choir and Male Chorus gave their final radio concerts of this school year. As befitting the final oc­casion, the following people each gaYe a solo: Glendiva Lysne, Idell Malme Ruth Tweeton, Ethel Mortenson. Ger­trude Sherwood, Edward Skjonsby, and Mr. D. L. Preston; Ethel Morten son and Gertrude Sherwood gave a duet. The program received great ap­proval, judging from the number of phone calls and requests from outly­ing towns.

THE UNIVERSITY ACCREDITS US Students and alumni of the College were given two thrills

"recently: one when they heard that Capt. Charles Lindbeigh had landed in Paris; and the other, just as important to the College as Lindbergh's feat was to aviation, that our third and fourth yeai work will be accredited at the University of Minnesota.

How many of us realize what the accrediting means . It means, first, that students can do three years of work here and get a degree from the University by attending there foi the last year, providing their courses have been properly selected; and, second, that students can take the degree from the College with the assur­ance that they can pursue graduate work at the University.

The statement that no more than three years of work will be credited toward a degree simply refers to the ruling which all universities have to the effect that the last year must be done in residence at the University if a degree from that school is sought. If a student did three years of work at Colunfbia, Harvard, Chicago, or Michigan, he would have to take the last year at Min­nesota University in order to get a degree from the latter institu­tion. In effect, then, the accrediting places us on a par with most standard colleges. .

Furthermore, other states will recognize work done at the College, inasmuch as they ordinarily go by what the university of the stat© does.

M. S. T. C. has been a member of the American Association of Teachers Colleges, Class A, and of the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools for some time. Together with the University recognition, these facts seem to indicate that the teachers colleges in Minnesota seem to be entering a broader field of service. That this movement is in line with the tendency oyer the nation is shown by the plan of the North Central Association to consolidate the section of Institutions Primarily for Teacher Training with the College and University section, thus recogniz­ing the teachers college as a standard college.

The tendency seems to be in the direction of higher standards for teachers colleges, so that they can give a longer and more thorough preparation to teachers.

READY FOR COMMENCEMENT We are entering Commencement week. Plans have been

made for the biggest commencement ever seen at Moorhead State Teachers College. The President's Reception and Senior Prome­nade on Tuesday will be followed by "Swing Out Day" on Wednes­day, a new feature in the annals of the school. It is on the success of this day that the success of Commencement will depend, not only this year, but in the years to come as well. Let us all take an active part in the activities of the week.

THE MISTIC WISHES YOU SUCCESS This is the last MiSTiC of the year. This college newspaper,

which is indigenous to Moorhead State Teachers College, has been appearing regularly throughout the year, giving news and an­nouncements to the students and to the alumni who are interested in the college.

We, the editors, wish to express our appreciation for the way The MiSTiC has been supported and read, and we hope that it has brought you something you could have obtained in no other way.

If you who graduate wish to continue as readers of The MiSTiC next year, you may make arrangements at any time with the business management. We are not urging you; we merely state what can be done if you wish to receive regular news from your Alma Mater.

THE MiSTiC WHAT IS HAPPINESS?

There have been philosophies of happiness and philosophies of happi­ness. Some have said that it consists in giving to others and receiving noth­ing in return; some have declared that it is to be found in the love of mother for child and child for mother; some have averred that there is no happiness.

We would define happiness as a contentment with existing conditions. It is a strange phenomenon that human beings strive for that which they think will make them happy, and if they reach the fulfilment of their desires, they find that happiness has not yet come. There is always some­thing elusive around the corner that must be obtained to bring bliss; with­out it they are discontented. Thus, happiness seems always to be in the future waiting to be overtaken, and often the pursuer abandons the search in disgust.

While in no way underestimating the value of ambition to strive for greater and better things, we believe that it is not the best road to happi­ness. Why can we not accept our situation, calmly endure our hard ships, and make the best of what we have? Why can we not see our posi­tion in a favorable light, facing it al ways with a smile, and be contented with what we are without "floating away into the clouds?" Happiness will not be pursued in the distant future; it is to be found right here and now.

The song will be sung at the opening of the "Swing-Out" chapel exercises, and at the banquet as well. The judges were B. D. Murray, Mrs. R. G. Price, and Joseph Kise.

Miss Mero is a member of the Jun­ior class, and is best known to the students as reserve-desk librarian.

GAMMA NU'S HAVE SPRING FORMAL AND LUNCHEON The Gamma Nu sorority held its

annual formal party at the Elks Tem­ple, Saturday evening. Leather call ing card cases, embossed with the sorority crest, were the favors given. The guests included President and Mrs. MacLean, Messrs. and Mmes. Fred Hutchinson and H. D. Paulson, patronesses, members, and friends. Dancing was enjoyed from 8:30 until 11:30 P.M. Misses Margaret and Helen Paulson presided at the frappe tables during the hours of dancing.

The graduating members of the sor­ority were welcomed into the alumni association at the luncheon held at one o'clock P. M. Saturday at the Waldorf Hotel. The sorority colors, gold and white, were used for the luncheon appointments. Miss Edna Rost, an alumni member, gave the ad­dress of welcome, and the response was made by Miss Rosella Lyttleton, president of the sorority. A short program consisting of song sugges­tions by Miss Teckla Carstens, a piano solo by Miss Osa Bertelson, an interpretative dance by Lucille Clark, and vocal duets by Mrs. H. H. Ewy and Teckla Carstens, were given at the hotel following the luncheon. Sorority songs were also included in the program. Covers were laid for 37.

SCOUTMASTERS CLASS TAKES HIKE IN RAIN

The college class in Scouting took a hike a week ago Wednesday. The entire class was present, and a good time was had in spite of the fact that rain interfered with the work of pre­paring a luscious feast. The fact that conditions, in the words of Mr. Ja-mieson, were adverse, made the trip more worth while. Much was learned about methods of lighting fire in the rain, of cooking palatable dishes, and methods of keeping warm under thin canvas covers.

This afternoon the Primary Depart­ment of the Training School wishes to have all parents see their exhibi­tion and program.

The first grade will have a puppet show which the parents will delight very much in seeing. Songs, spring poems and movies are the second grade's part of the program. Lantern slides and talks are to be presented by the third grade. In addition to this there are various other things on exhibition in this department which the parents will enjoy seeing.

A surprise in the form of cooking by the little folks will be given to the visitors.

party at the Gardner Hotel in honor of Miss Jones.

grades gave a program last Thursday afternoon at the picture exhibition. Interesting readings and talks ex plaining some of the pictures were given by the various pupils. These talks, stories, and readings were a re­sult of work done in the language classes.

The picture exhibition was a finan­cial success, and as a result the inter­mediate grades are buying the follow­ing pictures: "The Enchanted Pool,' by Amick; "The Phantom Canyon,' by Amick, and "The Horses of Achil les," by Regnault.

THE 'MISTAKE" COMES BACK TO LIFE; ANNOUNCING THE GREAT NORTHERN 'U'

» Several enterprising young men who are graduating with high honors from the State Teachers College this spring are contemplating establishing the Great Northern University as a rival institution to their Alma Mater,—

w not rival in the sense that it will be manufacturing pedagogs and pedagog-r ettes, but that it will draw on the attendance of all the colleges in the two

cities for its membership, this to include the State Teachers College. Kalph Iverson will endow the college, he has graciously consented to

give the college one tenth (1/10) of his savings after three years of work in the field. Mr. Iverson states his views thus when asked about his opinion on the type of instruction to be offered: "1 fondly and sincerely hope and believe

pthat a college such as I contemplate on endowing should be given to the search for truth,—truth in all the walks of life. (Try and find it.) This new institution of higher learning must be the institution in the ever-increasing race for the subtle thing better known as the Fundamental Law."

Dr. Iverson has appointed Hon. Marshall Shelstad president of the new institution. Dr. Shelstad will supervise the organization of the college when it opens in September, 1930. The instructors have not all been chosen. Some of those who have been obtained are national figures. Dr. Marvin Syverson will take charge of the Department of Metallurgy, and will offer graduate work in the mining of coal. Dr. Harold Preusse will have regular lecture hours devoted to Plants and Their Care, Back to the Farm, and the Science of "Menckenism." Dr. Basil Townsend has consented to take charge of the classes in Chemistry of the Household, and Food, a Chemical Compound. At the head of the Department of Inorganic Chemistry will be Dr. Bernard Kosen of wide fame. He will specialize in research work while acting as the head of the department. Dr. H. Weltzin will offer courses in the Appreciation of Printing; Dr. George Simson will act as head of the Department of Music, but will spend most of his time on the Lyceum Circuit; Dr. R. O. Bjork will offer a variety of courses including the Science of the Javelin and What Price Glory? Dr. R. A. Petrie will head the Metal Arts Department, his specialty being fenders. The Geography Department will include Dr. Frank Nemzek.

Dr. Iverson has been urged to lecture twice a week on Mood and the Appreciation of Philosophy, and on Philosophical Retrogression, but he has not decided yet on account of his many interests.

Other members of this singular faculty will be chosen in the near future. Departments to be filled include those of Astronomy, Human Behavior, Cul­ture, Health, Evolution, and Morality.

Announcement has been made of the selection of Alfred Tollefson as chief of the Janitor Service.

THE MISTICAL REPORTER This morning 1 met a group of girls

in gym clothes. They seemed to be uiscussing their weights and how much they had gained and lost, and so I stopped to listen io inem. Efiie Fredrickson had exclaimed, "Well, iris, I have lost a whole pounu this

week!" 'Oh, don't worry about a little

thing like that. Just take cod liver ail," advised Florence Grggerson. Not caring very much for cod liver oil or even the name of the stuff, 1 made a tiasty departure, went up to the 'Mistic" office and concluded this ar­ticle.

Judge: "Is it true that you punched your husband?"

Lady: "Sure, why shouldn't I? Isn't he my meal ticket."
