Campus Player Crews Prepare for Production
While cast rehearsals for "The Late Christopher Bean" to be given tomorrow night are being polished for the final performance, other members of the Campus Players are preparing the technical details, such as scene construction, scene painting, lighting, properties, and costumes.
Harly Rauch and Wollman are applying their skill to the delicate art of scenery building. Fireplace, staircase, balusters, and swinging doors take shape under their ham-mers and saws. The dull appearing scenery is given color and texture from their brushes. As is the case with most amateur scene techni-cians, experiementation is their middle name. When a sponging technique does not prove satis-factory they find that a flecking technique will. In fact flecking seems to be their favorite are be-cause if enough colors and enough coats are applied, sooner or later one of the coats is bound to look right.
However, making the scene colors look right is the job of Tom Hinde, chief electrician. Tom has been testing the effect on colored lights on the settings in order to get just the right shade. He is building strip lights to provide adequate light in hall ways and entrances. There is also the sun effect for the left stage window that he must cope with.
The Haggetts in the play are rather plain country people of New England with little appreciation for art. To get exactly the right degree of taste in furnishings, pictures, etc. is the task of Betty Martin. Verna Jonason is achieving a similar tone in the costuming of the cast. Helen Habicht is in charge of the make-up crew, and Virginia Raw has taken the house manager jog. Ticket sales and advertising for the play are being superivsed by Marwin Person, who is distributing tickets, letters, and posters. Several local organizations have taken tickets for their members to dispose of.
Everything seems to point to a Number one production. Director Volkert is drilling his cast in long intensive sessions. The last bits of polish and finesse are being added, and the results will be put up for approval tonight at the dress rehearsal. The regular performance is to be presented Friday night.

A Successful Coach ends the Season with A Strong Team
Largely responsible for Huron's comback this season is Coach Gerry Parker. It has been his hard work and encouragement that has built the Scalper machine to where it now stands - at third place in the conference. Parker began the season with as gloomy an outlook as a coach could have. With only one week of practice and with but two regulars, Coach Parker took his team to Valley City where they defeated the Teachers 7-6. The Scalpers lost their next four games; then came back to win three straight. Parker also lost three regular linemen, two of them at the halfway mark of the season, and one with two games left to play.
Undaunted, the Scalper Mentor whipped men into shape to fill in the cavities in his forward wall. To Coach Gerry Parker goes a great share of the credit for a successful season, and to a fighting bunch of Huron Warriors we say "Well done."

Northern Hopes Blasted by Huron
Coach Gerry Parker's fighting Scalpers, undaunted by the odds against them invaded the lair of the Wolves at Aberdeen last Friday and spoiled the teacher's chances for a share in the Conference Championship by a 7-6 victory. This gives Augustana undisputed hold on the title, which is the seventh time in eight years that the Vikings have annexed the title. The Scalpers, haing won 3 out of 6 conference games are in third place in the final conference standings.
The Northerners scored first on an extended drive from their own 33 yard line, after taking the ball from Huron on downs. The Teachers scored in the first two minutes of the play, and kept the Huron eleven inside of the 40 yard stripe for the remainder of the first half. Time after time the Wolves threatened to score, but the hard fighting Scalper line was in there in the nick of time to break up the Northern offense.
The Huron gridders came back after the first half and gave evidence that they were going to cause trouble. In the first part of the last period, they marched down to the Wolves 16 yard line where two successive line plays bogged down. Then Lyle Schuelke rifled a pass to Stan Blacksmith who went over with the winning touchdown. Schuelke's placement was good and the Scalpers went into the lead 7-6.
Aberdeen came back determined to score and got to the Huron 25 be-fore a pass interception by Bruner gave Huron the ball on the Scalpers 15 yard line. Schuelke punted, but was hurried and the punt fell short on the 31 yard line. A penalty on Huron carried the ball to the 16, from where Roebel ran to the Scalper 2 yard stripe. A penalty for clipping by Aberdeen carried the ball back to the 33 where the Scal-pers took the ball on downs.
Huron was outgained on yardage and on downs, but it was their pluck in the tight spots that finally gave them victory. Co-captain Schuelke, Grant Pasek, and Zelt Hauck in the back field played their last game of college football, and all three went out in a blaze of glory as they played heads up ball from the first to the final whistle. Kenny Knapp and Willard Schwant, playing their last game in the line, turned in a very fine defensive job at end and guard respectively. Bill Cameron played one of the best games so far this season. Every man in the line and backfield was in there giving it all he had.
Everett Bates was lost to the Scalpers when he was forced from the game with a sprained ankle. Bates has been one of the tough luck boys of the year, with a leg injury keeping him out of several early games.
Co-captain Floyd Thompson was there to see the Scalpers upset the Wolves and no man was happier than "Tommy" when Blacksmith grabbed that pass. The big tackle has been in there tough for four years, but was forced out of the last three games because of a neck injury. No one who has played football with Tommy will ever forget his fight and determination. Bill Wuest and Mel Beemer also finish their college football careers this season.

Sophomores Head Social Activities
The Sophomores practically took over the Huron College social affairs last week. They presented a very entertaining chapel program at the Student Association meeting on Friday morning, and Friday evening they sponsored an all college dance, a very entertaining and worth while affair.
At the Student Association meeting, they presented a short comedy, "If Men Played Carks Like Women Do." Four fellows, Marwin Person, Harry Daum, Jack Weiland, and Kendall LaCraft completed the cast. It was a very humorous take-off on the action of women at a card party. It provided a hectic twenty minutes of laughter for the student body.
The other entertainment that the Sophomores sponsored for the week was the all college dance with Louie Lang and his orchestra furnishing the music. This was the first dance of this type which per-mitted outsiders to come with college students. At the middle of the evening a floor show was pre-sented. Ruth Elaine Knapp and Ginger Georgiades each presented two tap dances, and Ruth Elaine Knapp and Virgil Olson presented a couple dance.
The dancing ended at eleven o'clock after providing an evening of very fine recreation. Bouquets do you, Sophs. You've started it; let's see if we can't keep the ball rolling.

Printing Department Receives Fine Gift
Huron College received a very fine gift this past week from Mr. John N. Bergstrom, of Neenah, Wisconsin. A Huron drayman backed his truck to the rear door of the college print shop and announced that he had three big boxes to unload and would need several men to help. As usual when there is anything important to be done in a hurry, "Pop" Peck rallied all forces in the print shop and went to work. The three boxes represented one ton of paper given by Mr. Bergstrom for the printing of the college catal-ogue. The paper, Thor Eggshell, is a fine grade of book paper and will make an excellent interior for the catalogue. Mr. Bergstrom, who is at the head of the Bergstrom Paper Company of Neenah, Wisconsin, deserves our most grateful thanks for this fine gift. Needless to say "Pop" is all pepped up about it, and the administration offices are jubilant. Here's three rousing cheers for Mr. Bergstrom.

New Address MachineTo Be Installed
"Pop" Peck announces that the printing plant will soon have a new addressing machine for use in sending out the college bulletin and frequent letters which go out to the friends of the college around the world. The old machine, which many a student has cranked by the hour, is being reverently laid aside. It has not yet been decided whether it will be "laid away" with appro-priate ceremony by the staff of the printing department, or whether it will be sold to make the path of the new machine easier as its creden-tials pass through the office of the Business Manager.

1940 Rubaiyat Staff Begins to Function
The 1940 Rubaiyat has gotten under way the leadership of Floyd Ulrich, editor, and Albert Frost, business manager. They have selected their staff members and introduced them to the students at the Student Association meeting Friday. The staff selected is as follows:
Floyd "Pop" Peck, faculty adviser; Lloyd Musolf, associate editor; Elgin Wollman, assistant business manager; Ray McGough, adver-tising manager; Gail Hilgenberg, senior editor; Clinton Derscheid, junior editor, Neil Christensen, freshman editor; Verna Jonason, faculty editor; Mary Walker, feature editor; Betty Martin, dramatics editor; Margaret Van Voorhis, music editor; Jean Hetlinger, society editor; Clarence Williams, sports editor; Stanford Blacksmith, art editor; Earl Ramsell, photographer.
The students voted and accepted a new proporition for the 1940 Rubaiyat. The ballot read as follows: "Last year's Rubaiyats were sold for $2.50. This year arrangements can be made with your cooperation to get them for $1.25. This can be arranged by voting yes on the ballot below. This great reduction has been accom-plished by the action of the Board of Control when they voted to give the Rubaiyat 50 cents of each student's fee which you pay each semester. I hereby agree to assess myself $1.25 to be included in my second semester fees payable at the beginning of the second semester. This will entitle me to receive the 1940 Rubaiyat."
The results of this balloting showed only five persons opposed to the plan. Arrangements have been made that the $1.25 will be collected as a regular fee at the beginning of next semester, and that every member of the Students' Association shall be entitled to receive a 1940 year book this year.

With Captain Len Herther heading a list of eight lettermen from last year's squad, the Scalpers began workouts last week. About eighteen men have reported to Coach Parker so far. Besides Captain Herther, other lettermen from last year include Lester Ketzback, Bill Cameron, Auggie Sisson, Lyle Schuelke, Kenny Knapp, Dell Caldwell, and Lowell Swenson. Other men left from last year's squad are: Eddy Bye, Don Lobitz, and Lloyd Musolf. Four freshman prospects who may give a good acount of themselves are Jimmy Brinkman, Jack Pier, Wally Jackson, and Clyde Cotton.
The Scalpers will play several nonconference games before the Christmas holidays, beginning with Nettleton Busines College at Sioux Falls.
The Scalpers are going to need a lot of whole hearted support from the student body this season, and there's no time like the present to start working up a little enthusiasm. What say, you Scalper fans.

Dr. Kaloupek Speaks On World Situation
Dr. Kaloupek talked to the YMCA group about the international situation. He said that the war now progressing in Europe is one of the queerest wars ever fought. One reason is that Germany doesn't seem to be using her best planes, and England has not as yet opened up her guns. It has been rumored that the Western Front will call a two week Christmas vacation truce in fighting. Such a war in Dr. Kaloupek's opinion is not a war.
From the standpoint of news value, Germany says she has the advan-tage in the war. France and Eng-land also say they have the advan-tage. However none of the warring nations have reported heavy fighting as was expected.
Most of the losses so far have been on the high seas. England reports a four per cent loss of tonnage, but does not consider it dangerous for it will take a long time to wear her down. According to Dr. Kalou-pek, England has nothing to fear if she can keep her shipping channels open.
All indications show that the war as yet hasn't become dangerous, but the question is what might happen. Hitler has let loose a dangerous force. So far he has picked appropriate occasions for all border incidents. Everything has been accomplished with the minimum of difficulty.
During the course of last week, conflicting reports have come from the Baltic States and Finland. One thing is certain, Finland was not overcome as was expected by Russia. Finland has plenty of moral support, but not actual support which she needs if she is going to survive. United States has given Finland moral support, but has not recalled our ambassador from Russia, because it might make relations even more strained.
In closing Dr. Kaloupek said that we may be able to stay out of the conflict for two or three years, but as chancess are, sooner or later we would be drawn into it.

Dickens' Christmas Carol To Be Presented Dec. 19
On Tuesday evening, Dec. 19, the Huron College Campus Players will present Dickens' "A Christmas Carol." In this adaptation of the story, there are many interesting things to be enacted besides the numerous characters created by Dickens.
The play according to E. T. Volkert, who dramatized, adapted, and is directing it, follows the original almost to a Tee. Minor visions are omitted, but this is largely to do away with repetition. Although the play is short as compared to major productions, it will take about ran hour and a half for presentation.
The costumes of each actor will be a rare treat. All the characters will be dressed in the up-to-date style of Scrooge's contemporaries when the event was originally to have taken place.
Rehearsal have been under way since November 27, and the play is progressing rapidly. Each and every person is a character within himself, and all are striving to por-tray their parts just as Dickens' original characters would have been.

Former Librarian Is Working in Boston
Miss Harriet Johnson, for the past two years assistant librarian at Huron College, is now located in Boston according to word received recently by friends. Miss Johnson has a stenographic position in the offices of the First Church of Christ, Scientist, and writes that she is enjoying her work a great deal. "Boston has so much to offer," she writes, "We have seen one play and saw 'Argentinita', the Spanish dancer who was lovely and wore beautiful costumes. Most of the plays are tried out in Boston before they go to New York, so we can always see them. Of course, many artists give concerts here. Kirsten Flagstad will be here next week, and I'd love to hear and see her again. With so many music and art schools in Boston, there are always concerts and exhibitions to attend. On Mondays I go to a chorus which plans to give a concert in December. I also have done some accompanying for the chorus. I have gone to Wellesley several times for week ends with one of the girls in the office. Wellesley is a wealthy and beautiful suburb of Boston. Then one week-end I went up to Northfield, Mass. in the Berkshires on a trip."

Scalpers Lose in Opening Tussle
The Scalpers journeyed to Sioux Falls Friday where they lost their season opener 30-22 to the strong Nettleton Commercial College quint.
The game was close all the way. The Huron cagers had a 13-8 lead at half time. The Netts came back in the third quarter and built up a quick 16-15 advantage. The lead changed hands several times until the end of the third peiord when the Nettleton hoopsters held a 20-19 lead. The scoring had been even until big Cliff Jansa and his mates opened up to gain their final 30-22 lead.
It was the tight defense of the Netts that kept the Scalpers out of the win column; the Huron chances for shots being few and far between.
Herther, Sisson, and Caldwell led the Scalpers offensively. Cameron played his usual steady game at the guard position, while Jansa was the leader for the Netts.
The Scalpers opened a heavy week Monday with an invasion of the State College Jack Rabbit lair at Brookings. Thursday night the Huron cagers tangle with the Dusties at Ellendale, and Friday night they battle the strong Valley City Vikings at Valley City. Go it Scalpers!!
