Registration For Winter Term
Is Now In Full Sway And
Must Be Completed
Registration for the winter term
began on Monday of this week and according to Alfred H. Parrott, registrar, must be completed before Saturday, December 22, 1928.
December 22nd is the date that all
class cards and programs must be in
the hands of the registrar, but if the
student desires to mail the check for
his registration fees after going home,
he may mail it anytime before the
31st.
To aid in earlier registration, the
maximum limit has been removed and
the penalty per day has been doubled.
Any student who neglects to be registered by the dates set will be required to pay one dollar ($1.00) per
day until registered with no maximum
amount.
Building Needs Will Be Stressed
And Interest Aroused In
Student Body
Budget Board Again
Promises Assistance
Armory Was Packed To Hear
Members Of State Budget
Board Tuesday
President John Lee Coulter introduced R. B. Murphy, chairman of the
board of administration, F. E. Diehl,
and W. F. Church, members of the
board of administration, Mrs. Craig
and Mr. Watt, both members of the
legislative appropriations committee,
to the student body at a crowded convocation on Tuesday morning at 9:40
a.m.
Each members of the budget board
seemed to be of practically the same
opinion, that it was North Dakota
State's turn to receive some appropriations with which to build some new
buildings to take care of the ever increasing enrollment.
A number of interesting facts were
brought out at the convocation. It
takes approximately five million dollars every biennial year to operate
and maintain North Dakota's institutions of higher learning. Members
of the board realize the building
needs, but ask. "Where is the money
to come from ?" Mr. Watt stated that
the farmers of the state are paying
seventy per cent of the taxes today.
Mr. Diehl paid the school a compliment in closing by elaborating upon
the fine work the school has carried .
on over the state and told that people
over the state are noticing it more
and more stating that "the personal
friends that have been made, personal
interest created, and personal contacts
made has insured the future developmnt of North Dakota State."
Donald Harris, pianist, and William
Watson, clarinetist, opened the program with one of Schubert's popular
numbers.
SIGMA • TAU XMAS
PARTY TONIGHT
Santa Claus will make a personal
appearance to distribute presents to
members of the active and rookie
chapters of the Alpha Sigma Tau
Fraternity at their chapter house this
evening. .
The Sigma Taus have planned a
little Christmas party and get-together. Presents will be distributed by
"Ebony Blott" who will impersonate
"Kriss Kringle". Each member of
both chapters was given a name of
another to purchase a simple gift for.
Besides this the members have combined into four groups each of which
will buy a gift for the chapter house.
Musical entertainment will be furnished by the Sigma Tau Rookie Trio
composed of Burt Kilbourne, Bob
Anderson, and Bob Schultze. The fra-
ternity will attend a movie and then
return to the chapter house for cards
and a smoker. At the end of the evening the Christmas presents will be
presented.
President Coulter announced yesterday afternoon that there would be
a convocation this morning at 8:45.
The whole thing seems to have a
mystery about it. President Coulter
will have charge of the convocation
and states that he has a very important message for the student body
and an important announcement. He
says, "Be there!"
The main purpose of the convocation is to form an organization with
which the various representatives and
senators over the state may be
reached during the coming Christmas
I vacation. Students from each county
will be organized and the facts presented to them as President Coulter
sees them, so that they may be
broadcast throughout the state during the next two weeks.
Bison Pictures Must
Be Taken Today
Today marks the last possible date
for upperclassmen to have their pictures taken for the classes section of
the 1930 Modernistic Bison, according to Frances Ross, editor of the
section.
A final drive to secure the maximum number of juniors and seniors
for this part of the book has been
conducted by members of the staff
during the past week. If any junior
or senior wishes to pay his photo fees
and be represented in the college
yearbook, he or she may come to the
Bison office at any time today and
receive an appointment,
The Bison is the annual of the entire student body, and, in order to
make a true expression of the whole
school, upperclassmen are urged to
avail themselves of this final opportunity to have their pictures in the
book.

SPEND A GOOD VACATION
.This morning at convocation our president, our alumni
secretary, and various other campus officials with the aid of Blue
Key fraternity presented a plan to aid the school in securing all of
the desired appropriations at the next meeting of legislature.
President Coulter with the aid of senior members of Blue
Key told the situation as they saw it, emphasizing the facts that
North Dakota State has had no new buildings since the building
of the "Ag" building, but on the other hand has had a continual
increase in enrollment every year since then. At the present time
we have the largest freshman class of any institution of higher
learning in the state.
With all these facts presented to the last session of legislature, they refused to build us a single building. They heard not
our needs or else did not care to see us grow by furnishing us with
additional classrooms with which to handle the ever increasing
enrollment.
Now the student body has had a plan presented to them
whereby they may help in this great movement. With the cooperation of every student on the campus we will undaubtedly receive our new armory, a wing on Science, a wing on "Ag", a wing
on the library and the completion of the boy's dormitory.
When you are home don't forget to remember the duties
assigned you and go and tell your representative or senator or both
of the needs of North Dakota State.
An article has appeared in several
college papers which criticises the
voices of college coeds. Martin B.
Ruud, professor of Engish at the
University of Minnesota, says that
the voice of a modern coed sounds
like a cross between the cawing of a
crow and the shrieking of a hawk.

Aviation is to be included in the
curriculum of the College of St.

opportunity to study the construction
of airplanes and to acquire a general
knowledge of aviation.

a few more dormitory stories would
be acceptable and we need not mention the armory. The big point to
carry home with you is that your college is growing faster than ever before. Its power and prestige is mounting. Educational opportunities are
plentiful at this institution. Sell the
school to some high school graduate
during your stay at home. We need
him, but he probably needs us more.
It is gratifying to have the assurance that members of the board have
felt necessity for what all of us have

The Christmas Children's party at

to kid themselves.

The reason they're bringing so
many children is to cause some of
this traffic jam for the youngsters.
* *
Kiddies probably won't hang up
their stockings on account of the
thieves on the campus.
* * *
If these guests are all poor children, they should stage the party in
the Armory to make them feel at
home.

Or else take the youngsters slumming the barracks.

If there really is a Santa Clause,
why doesn't he put some mistletoe

A committee from the W. C. T. U.
is going to be on hand to quiz Santa
as to his red nose.
* * *
And Santa will reply that he never
got a red nose by poking it into other
people's business.

Santa's ability to come down a sootridden chimney without besmirching
his lily-white thicket has led an enterprising soap company to approach
him for an endorsement.

Bison Will Meet Viking Five There Tonight
Johnson, Blakeslee,
To Be Out Of Contest
Frosh Practice Cut Short; Bison
Leave On Trip Through Ill.
And Minnesota Dec. 18,
The Bison basketball squad will
leave for Valley City today where
they will play the Valley City Vikings
in the return engagement that is
scheduled for tonight. Coach Saalwaechter is in high hopes of conquering the Vikings on their own court
and the Vikings are equally determined in their preparations Jor the
State five whom they led a greater
part of the contest here only to lose
out as the Bison rallied in the closing
minutes of the game.
Since the game with the Vikings Saturday, Saalwaechter has been drilling
his squad on offense and defense, as
he expects stiffer opposition than the
Valley City quint offered here. Wednesday the Bison rushed through a
long scrimmage which is expected to
lessen the errors that cropped out
during the initial competition.
The Bison will leave on their 12 clay
invasion of Illinois and Minnesota
shortly before the beginning of the
Christmas recess, playing their first
contest December 20 at Galesburg,
Illinois with Lombard College as their
opponent. Bradley Polytechnic and
Millikin University will be met on
succeeding nights, while Illinois Wesleyan concludes the Illinois invasion.
The Bison will play the Austin Independents in a two game series and
the Rochester American Legion quint.
The final game of the trip will be
with Augsburg college January 2.
Joe Blakeslee, sophomore guard,
turned his knee in practice and will
be unable to play until the middle of
the winter term. Gil Johnson is still
unable to start and Saalwaechter is
waiting until he has thoroughly recovered from the removal of his tonsils and Cy Peschel has recovered
from his sickness of last week.
Saalwaechter will probably take ten
or more men to Valley City this week.
The starting lineup will in all probability be the same that started
against the Vikings here.
Freshman basketball practices were
cut short for the holidays, the last
practice being held Wednesday night
in order to give the Frosh a chance
to study for their examinations.

Three North Dakota State hunters,
Professor Kenneth Keating, Curtis
Ballard, and Red Peterson, got 26
jackrabbits by fair and funny means
recently.
Professor Keating proved to be a
remarkable shot, hitting several of
the long legged animals, while his
mates succeeded in scaring a few
others to death.
It was a bad day for the rabbits,
when this terrible trio entered the
fray. According to reports, offered by
the three rabbit exterminators but unfortunately unsupported by eye witnesses, Ballard removed the tips of
the ears from one rabbit at a distance
of 250 yards, shot another between
the eyes at even a greater distance,
while his companion Peterson, shooting at another of the furry balls sent
the bullet through the head and broke
the left hind leg, this evidently
spoiling the rabbit's good luck as Peterson was able to overtake the rabbit
after a long chase and subdue his
struggles by kicking it in the head.
The members of the trio then voted
Red a brass medal for preventing
cruelty to animals.

farm boys of North Dakota at the
North Dakota State college from Jan.

H. L. Walster, dean of the school of
agriculture. The course is open to
those having a common school education.
Subjects along lines of mechanics on
the farm may be selected. There will
also be offered subjects relating to
the livestock industry, crop husbandry, and to the farm business and economics. Several subjects pertaining to
general education will be given. They
will include penmanship, typewriting,
elementary English, commercial law,
arithmetic and public speaking. The
