ROBERT KUBIAS ' JA v :v lUWf THE NINETEEN THIRTY-THREE ACORN OF COE N 7 0- FOREWORD PROGRESS— The Spirit of Youth— is ex- empHfied in the students of Coe, and similar institutions. Rather than picturing the de- velopment of Coe from the date of its found- ing, the purpose of The 1933 Acorn is to emphasize that even in such a year that has just passed. Progress is being made, dreams are becoming realities, and foundations are being laid which will develop the Youth of Today into the Leaders of Tomorrow. — With this idea uppermost, the staff of The Acorn presents The Progress Number, with the hope that in the years to come, the many pleasant memories of college days will be revived by reading the pages of this book. DEDICATION Goes material progress has been great. With a growing student body, there has been a need for more buildings and more class- rooms. Friends of the college generously re- sponded, and a new Men ' s Gymnasium was built. In the past year a more urgent need has been met. a need which is essential in the attainment of an education: a library, ade- quately equipped to meet the demands of a college community. Thus, it is with sincere appreciation that this book is dedicated to an alumnus of Goe Gollege, one who has proved himself to be a contributing factor in the progress of his Alma Mater: Golonel Robert E. Stewart. vO, C, - I MEN ' S GYM BOOK I THE COLLEGE Division Page Reprinted from The 1916 Acorn He is wise who can instruct us and assist us in the business of daily virtuous living. — Carlyle. 4 Administration I 932 GREETINGS TO ACORN READERS FROM President H. M. Gage Most readers of the Acorn are youth. To them upward and onward are watchwords. When told, There is plenty of room at the top, youth replies, Yes, but it is awfully crowded down here and down here is where I am, So undaunted youth starts the toilsome journey from down here to up there where a fellow will have a better chance. Progress exactly expresses what every youth wants and believes. The idea of progress is not only appropriate to the period of youth but also to the period of depression in which we live. Here we all are. down here in the pit of despondency. A fine fat chance for a boy getting ready for his job that does not exist! What a topsy-turvy world it is! Youth is told to go to school not to prepare for a job but so that he will not stay out of school and get a job that some other person needs. What one is to do when he finally gets out of school the wise men do not say. In this situation at the bottom of a dark pit it is youth who will see the stars. Happily, darkness makes the stars visible. So irrepressibly progressive youth will build wagons of whatever material lies about and will hitch their wagons to the stars. In the name of progress from depression I salute on-coming youth, the hope of the world, and say, Behold this dreamer cometh, Welcome to you. If you were not coming up this world would be going down at a great rate. Of course this hard world will give you a rough hazing, a bit rougher than youth in other times have had. But it will be salutary. The harsh discipline will drive all the conceit out of you and leave you nothing but your dreams. Praises be, nothing can drive self-confidence out of youth. So no depression can hold the world down. So in the name and for the sake of progress go on dreaming. Study the events of the world and their significance. Then dream of a better self and a better world. Even if you seem a bit queer as did that boy who wore a coat of many colors, go on dreaming. When the famine was sore in the land, it was that young dreamer to whom the poor in all the lands owed their lives. It is now time for my annual joke, but I have none. However, what I have written may add to your stock of durable satisfaction in years to come. He laughs best whose laugh lasts. Page 18 THE PRESIDENT HARRY MOREHOUSE GAGE Page 19 DEAN OF COLLEGE COE-OPERATION If there is one characteristic of our college Hfe here at Coe that stands out above all others, I think it is that which is suggested by the above caption, Coe-operation. A great industrial plant whose purpose is to furnish a product or set of products for the markets of the world must be perfectly organized, and there must be complete subordination of individual will and initiative to one master mind, the head of the organization. The ideal of a college is precisely the antithesis of that of a factory or an army. The college aims at no standardized product. On the contrary it seeks to develop individuality, independence, initiative, self-control. It would turn out men and women of character. The only standardization it seeks is a uniform and unswerving sense of loyalty to honor and duty. The organization of Coe College functions well for its purpose which is to afford an environment where young men and women may develop themselves through the exercise of all their powers of mind and body. It is fully as im- portant that provision should be made for the self-e.xpression of the students as that there should be provision for leadership and the teaching function of the faculty. To develop power as individuals and to learn co-operation with other individuals for great and worthwhile ends is of the essense of education. The writer is proud to be a product of Coe-operation and happy to be a Coe- operator. S. W, Stookey. I n tf It :■ II I I II n tp N H I rn-irft ' r- Page 20 DEAN OF MEN It takes considerable courage to talk of progress in a period of great de- pression. Retrenchment is the order of the hour. I presume the very book in which this is printed is not as pretentious as the former annuals issued by the Board. The Faculty is somewhat smaller. Some courses of study have been eliminated. The program has been curtailed in many respects. It has all been done in order to cut our garment according to our cloth. Notwithstanding, the real efficiency of the institution has not been affected. The essentials of a college education are all intact. Though instruction may be less costly it is just as effective, perhaps more so. I. therefore, congratulate the publishers of the Annual for sufficient courage to call this the Progress issue of the Acorn. For it is a heartening recognition of an oft forgotten fact that things are frequently not what they seem. There are things upon which we have put a greater emphasis than they deserve. Education along with religion has often been criticised that it has been too easy. And all too frequently we have evaluated progress in terms of the material. It would not be surprising, in fact it is altogether likely, that real progress is most real when the times are difficult. At any rate knowing as I do the handicaps to progress under which the majority of Coe students work, I desire to congratulate them on their courage and progress alike. Harry Kremers, 4r:= Page 21 DEAN OF WOMEN What fun to look back over the past fifty years! How difflcuU is it to realize that in 1882 college education for women was an anxious experiment. The few girls in the colleges and universities were studied by others and even by them- selves a little unduly. They could not take what each day brought as a matter of course. Since they were pioneers and representatives of many who would come afterwards, they were burdened with a sense of responsibility. According as they conducted themselves their sisters would have ampler or narrower opportunities. How different is the situation today when a girl thinks of going to college as naturally as does her brother. The only sense of responsibility now lies in a personal and family pride. How little the modern girl comprehends the debt she owes to those who have prepared the way as much by enduring the social ostracism then prevalent as by mastering the contents of the curriculum. As one looks back at Coe ' s fifty years, it is apparent that Coe always has been co-educational, and to a surprising degree. The very first graduating class in 1884 was comprised of two members, one man and one woman. The second class in 1885 likewise numbered two, one man and one woman. And every graduating class since then, e.xcept that of 1891, has had in it one or more women. ' Tis true, there is no royal road to learning. The road may be smoother today than in earlier years, but even though rough at times, at Coe the path- way has been open to all young people. Capable and trustworthy guides have been at hand, rich and varied nutriment has ever been provided. However, the actual steps up the path must always be taken by the student herself. In a spirit of gratitude and appreciation for Coe ' s first fifty years, let us continue upward along the pathway, eager to surmount obstacles and to open up new and interesting by-paths in the realm of human knowledge.

Its primary duty is to approve all staff appointments, contracts and expenditures made by the student Editor and Manager so as to insure a firm financial foundation, and also provide a certain amount of faculty supervision. It is also empowered to elect the Editor and Business Manager from the members of the Sophomore class, who assume charge of their duties at the beginning of their Junior year. The Board is composed of three faculty members appointed by the college administration and four students who each serve for two years, their election by the entire student body being held in the latter part of their sophomore year. m ,! :-nl Page 36 COSMOS BOARD OF CONTROL Dlivies, Piii-kiUil.

Great problems seem rather trivial now. and tasks which appeared to be un- ending were really but the work of a few days. With these thoughts, come the realiza- tion that without the co-operation of the entire student body and countless friends of Coe College, the staff could not have pre- sented this 1933 Acorn to you in its present form. Furthermore, the staff presents this record of the year ' s events to you with the hope that after you have left Coe College and its environs, the 1933 Acorn will then prove itself to be of genuine value by enabling you to recall the many pleasant memories asso- ciated with your college days. One thing more. If the hum -n side of our nature has asserted itself, result- ing in a few misspelled names, avail yourselves of an opportunity to achieve divinity, and forgive. Think of the names we did get right! C. Robert Kubi.xs .Johnson. McLaughlin. Coffey, Williams. Strang Linstedt.

April 22 and 23. Three traveling trophies, one for the best editorial, one for the best all-round newspaper, and another for the best front page makeup in papers of six columns and over, were received. Continuing in the tradition of the Cosmos. which has always included excellency in composition and makeup as major considera- tions, the newspaper has not only striven to achieve distinction in typographical attain- ments, but it has been its purpose to publish a more interesting and varied news sheet. Among the features that have been utilized to this end is the weekly biographical review and questionnaire of Coe faculty members, known as Cosmorama. An art column, which prints cuts of pictures on display at the Cedar Rapids Little Art Gallery, and short re ' iews of current exhibitions is an innovation this year. The publication, which is entirely free from censorship or dictation of policy, is maintained by the students for students. It has been the goal of the paper to reflect the sentiments of the student body toward campus problems in its editorials, and with the maintenance of an Open Forum, to which any student may contribute an expression of opinion, it has accomplished its aim.

Teeter. Linter, Bryunl, Miller, Brown Kuhias, Mooney, Coakley, Williams, Knox The Zip ' N Tang carries on — another year has gone by and the Coe Campus has been furnished with mirth by that famous pubHcation. the Zip ' N Tang. Little Zippy has been more than successful in its third year, and the future look rosier and funnier. There have been eight issues published this year. Each issue surpassed the previous one in quality and laughs— as the baby cries for Castoria. so have the students cried for Zip ' N Tang. The first issue to be foisted upon the student body was the Homecoming Number, which was followed by the Thanksgiving Issue. Many students were still laughing after they returned from Xmas Vacation— that is, those who read this issue; those who didn ' t naturally didn ' t laugh. Then came the Leap Year Issue, and along with it curt criticism amid hearty guffaws. The day before Spring Vacation, classes were again disrupted by students reading the Spring Issue. Undaunted by Spring weather, the staff then set about to put out another issue, and still another. Then came the dawn — of Semester Examinations, and Zippy ceased to be the messenger of joy — and dirt. It IS with great pleasure, etc.. that we announce that the Zip N Tang will be the curse and worry of Viper Kubias. who will gather the jokes, and Rattlesnake Biggs, who will check the budget for next year. Carry on. Zippy. the students want you!

M. C. A. have been of a varied and special nature during this year. The Y. M. C. A. renders a definite service in the life of the Campus. The first activity of the association was the sponsoring of a freshman camp last fall, which is an annual event in the opening of the school year. Its purpose is to give the freshman the right start in college life. Under the leadership of Charles Tenney and Stanley Banks, the camp proved both popular and success- ful. Fifty freshman men and a number of upperclassmen attended. Other functions of the Y. M. C. A. are: Co-operation with the Y. W. C. A. in sponsoring the Freshman Mixer, the Football Banquet, National Fellowship Week, Christmas Pageant, special speakers brought to the campus, Easter Sunrise Service, and publishing the Coe College Handbook. The cabinet is indebted to the friends and members of the Y. M. C. A. who have aided it in carrying out its campus program during the past year. Page 94 Y. W. C. A. Suiidberg.

All of the members devote a part of their time to welfare work or help in the work of some church in the city. Discussion meetings are held bi-monthly. Social events are also a part of the activities. OFFICERS Nelson Buswell President Martha Spitler Secretary-Treasurer Dr. Henry W.

Many diplomas have been given to speech majors, and, from all appearances, many more will be given. Professor Laura Pearle Stewart, as head of the department, is aptly aided by Miss Grace Parzybok, Mrs. Juniat a Caldwell Laser, and Professor Ogburn. debate coach. The requirements; fundamentals, interpretation of mas- terpieces, platform reading, dramatic art, and story telling are most interesting in themselves, but the department of- fers much more for those desiring speech work. This year advanced major students have been given the opportunity of teaching the fundamental classes under the direct supervision of Professor Stewart. There is also opportunity given for those interested to get actual experience in directing, judging contests, painting scenery and building sets. Many of the students read for various occasions in the city and surrounding towns; in this way the speech department is constantly kept before the public eye, as well as the campus eye. The Gypsy Story Tellers are perhaps the most widely known. This group of girls, arrayed in gayly colored gypsy costumes, go to the Community House and various library stations about the city regularly throughout the school year, and once each year, around the holiday season, they go in a body to the Hospital for Crippled Children at Iowa City, Moreover, their appeal is not only to children, for they have been asked to appear before grownups as well. Platform reading may be had in class instruction or private lessons accord- ing to preference. There are bi-monthly recitals given by the platform reading students, and all the majors are required to attend. Anyone outside of the college may take private lessons from Mrs. Laser, and there is also an e.xtension course offered for anyone interested in the work. Honorary societies sponsored by the department include College Players, which is open to anyone in school; Zeta Phi Eta, national speech arts sorority, open only to those girls who are majoring, or carrying a strong minor, in speech; and Pi Kappa Delta, national forensic fraternity, open to those men who have participated in intercollegiate debating. Plays produced this year were The Circle, a rather recent play, and two well-known plays, Smilin Through and Pigs. The plays are exceptionally well directed and a finished production is the result. This past summer Miss Stewart studied at the University of Iowa, where she was given the privilege of doing some observation work under the guidance of Mrs. Letitia Raubicheck, Head of Speech in New York City. Mrs. Laser had a most interesting summer, studying in London under the outstanding Professor Bunston, Page 100 COLLEGE PLAYERS Brooks. Strang, Luglan, T nney, Coward, Banks. Rouse, West Linstedt. Storey. Schroeder, King, Frye, Linter, Anderson College Players is an altogether changed organization this year; the faculty has taken over the management of it, although the members still have a great responsibility. Anyone desiring to become a member now must earn a certain number of points which will take perhaps a year. In this way membership is limited to those who are really speech-minded ' in one way or another. Points may not only be earned by actual participation in a play, but stage management, make-up. directing, prompting, scene painting, and business management are all taken into consideration and given the number of points they deserve. The organization will become more honorary and also more extensive in content. It is the desire of the organization then that they concentrate their efforts on production of some kind which will be exclusively College Players, and which will become an annual tradition. In the three plays that have been produced this year; The Circle, Smilin ' Through, and Pigs, which were open to anyone in school, Frances Tank- ersly, Gayle Schroeder, Gwen Storey, Dorothy Gray, Georgia Linter, Wayne Rouse, and Wallace Blazek have had roles.

When, fifty years later, a boy and girl of the families, out of the present generation, fall in love and are separated by their elders, the spirit of the slain girl comes Smilin ' Through to aid them in their romance. The scene takes place in the Carteret Garden in Ireland, in 1914. and in the second act the time goes back fifty years to portray the tragic event of the wedding night. =1:; ' :. Page 103 Prof. Ogbuhx DEBATE Under the able coaching of Professor Vincent H. Og- burn, debate has been an activity of great interest to many students during the past year. A much larger number of intercollegiate contests was held on the Coe campus than in the past. The Little Theatre was the scene of most of these due to the ruling of the executive committee that no debate could be held in the Coe chapel. Other debates were held before various luncheon clubs and churches in Cedar Rapids and nearby cities. College teams from Minnesota, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Iowa were on the campus at various times during the season. The Theta Nu Epsilon and Alpha Delta Alpha fraternities entertained the visitors. The Wis- consin Teachers team from Platteville, Wisconsin, brought a squad of seven to our campus. Two different debates were held with this school. On December 4th, the annual Dows debate was held in the Little Theatre to determine the winner of the Dows awards. Clement Curnan won first and Taylor Dunlap second in this contest. George Jephson and John Dornon were the only two veteran debaters of the squad, but some very good material was uncovered. Other members on the squad, some joining later, were Wendell Walker, Lewis Alcorn, Taylor Dunlap. Kenneth Kent. Clement Curnan. Wil- liam Whipple, Paul Niles, Raymond Coward, Paul Krachmer, Arthur Brooks, Thorval Toft, Wade Patterson, Elizabeth Dower, Katherine Baxter, Mary Ellen Hamilton, and Isla May McSperrin, Due to the large number of intercollegiate debates, no intra-squad debates were held. Consequently, the debates were more interesting to both the de- baters and the audience. The increased number of forensic contests gave a larger number of students opportunity to participate in debating this year. Trips were made to Indianola; Center Point; Grinnell; Rock Island. Illinois; Tulsa, Oklahoma; Mt, Vernon; Cedar Falls; Decorah; and Fayette. The Coe debate teams were very active in intercollegiate debates, partici- pating in thirty-nine engagements. They won seven, lost seventeen, and fifteen were non-decision frays. The main question discussed was, Resolved, that Congress should enact legislation providing for the centralized control of in- dustry, constitutionality waived.

In oratory Coe was represented by Raymond Coward, in extem- poraneous speaking by Clement Curnan, and in debate by John Dornon, George Jephson, and Wendell Walker. Coward ' s oration was The New South, while Curnan discussed Albert Ritchie ' s Bid for the Presidency. The three debaters tied for fifth place by winning victories over Upper Iowa, Dubuque, Luther, and Central. This was their first tournament experience and no doubt they will be much stronger next year, since all three men are only sophomores. During spring vacation, Raymond Coward, John Dornon, Wendell Walker, and George Jephson journeyed to the national Pi Kappa Delta Tournament at Tulsa, Oklahoma, This tournament lasted from March 28 to April 2. One hundred and two schools from all over the United States had debate teams entered. The season, as a whole, was quite successful during the past year. Although not winning a majority of the debates, more students were represented on the squad than ever before. Eleven members are eligible for Pi Kappa Delta, national honorary forensic fraternity. Taylor Dunlap is the only member of the squad to graduate, and chances for a good team next year appear very bright.

Russell, successor to Major Shields Warren, who was transferred to Fort Huachua. Arizona. Major Russell ' s military training has been extensive. He began his service in the army in the Minnesota National Guard after being graduated from the University of Min- nesota in 1916. He is a graduate of the tank school at Fort Meade. Maryland, and the honor graduate for 1928 of the advanced course in the infantry school at Fort Benning. Georgia. Before his transfer to Coe, he com- pleted a two year training course at the Command and General Staff School at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, and as a result was chosen for the general staff eligibility list. He was also with the Thirty-Fourth Division during the World War, and served in the Phillipines from 1924 to 1926. Assistants to Major Russell are Captain Paul J. Vevia, Infantry, who is completing his second year at Coe, and Lieutenant Staten E. Rail, Infantry, Coe ' 23, who is completing his third year at Coe. Sergeant John Seay serves as quartermaster of supplies and coach of the rifle team. The Coe Battalion consists of three companies, two platoons each, compris- ing a man power of approximately 250 men. Freshmen and sophomores act as privates and corporals, while the members of the advanced course, about forty- five juniors and seniors, act as battalion and company officers. The advanced course is optional and remunerative, and includes two years of work at Coe, and a six-week camp period of intensive training at Fort Snelling, which is attended between the junior and senior years.

This year the band consists of fifty-four talented musicians. Last fall, the band had the distinctive honor of taking part in a joint concert with Bohumir Kryl, world famous cornetist and band master, and his band. Mr. Vesely, instructor of brass instruments in the Coe School of Music, was formerly a student of Kryl ' s. and also a member of his band. As a result of several broadcasts over the local radio station. KWCR. and appearances in surrounding cities, the band has won state-wide recognition, and has been an influential agent in advertising Coe. Page 120 Division Page Reprinted from The 1925 Acorn DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS Since coming to Coe in 1914, Coach Eby has been diversely successful as head football coach. In eighteen years of service, he has coached four teams to the Mid-West Conference Championship, three of those championships being won in successive years. However. Eby and his coaching staff attain more than mere victories in athletic contests. Rather, each coach aims to instill in every man a high standard of sportsmanship, as well as a desire for clean living. Moray Eby COACH OF BASKETBALL AND TRACK Despite poor material, Coach Rittgers has done exceed- ingly well as coach of basketball. His chances of develop- ing a successful team next year are very bright, as he will have experienced men with whom to work. His record as a track coach has been both enviable and phenomenal. Two years ago his team was runner-up in the Mid-West Conference, while last year he developed a squad which won the Mid-West Meet handily. He has uncovered and developed men into winners in their event. Popular with the men. Coach Rittgers should continue to show ade- quate proof of his ability as a coach of both basketball and track. Forest Rittgers Page 122 DIRECTOR OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION With the dropping of baseball from the ath- letic program. Coach Hayden was relieved of his duties as head coach of baseball, and now is devoting his time to the improvement of the intramural and physical education program. He has not only succeeded in making the physical education classes interesting, but he has also made them a corrective benefit to the men participating. He has also spent a great share of his time in developing a more compre- hensive intramural program, so as to give as many men as possible an opportunity to partici- pate in some athletic activity. Thomas C. Havden VARSITY MANAGERS The senior varsity manager is selected by the Athletic Board of Control, with the aid of the coaches, from the two junior managers. The junior manager losing the election is awarded a numeral sweater. On the senior manager falls the responsibility of arranging transportation and accommodations for the team on trips, as well as superintending the junior and sophomore managers in the care of equipment, at practices, and in keeping the players ' field in good condi- tion. Each varsity manager receives a C sweater with a block M at the close of the season as a reward for his services. 1 ' ' KM;I ' liiti-ainural Mkinkrt Irm-U Thompson Baxkrihnll MKHLIHI ' !

Captain George Erwin Guard FOOTBALL When Coach Moray Eby called his football squad to the field this fall he was confronted with one of the most difficult tasks which he has ever experi- enced as a Coe football coach, that of moulding a football team from almost wholly green material. Nine of last year ' s lettermen from the Conference Championship team were lost to Coach Eby ' s forces this fall, leaving the team largely made up of in- experienced sophomores and juniors. The first game of the season, with Grinnell, caused the Kohawk mentor considerable anguish. Long hours of drill and blackboard talks in the early fall failed to produce the customary polished Crimson machine. When Coe met the Pioneers on the Grin- nell field on September 25, it was but the first of a series of discouraging and heartbreaking defeats. Grinnell carried the long end of the 26-0 score. Lack of driving power, poor blocking and in- ability to cope with the smooth running aerial attack of the trim Pion eer eleven, were the causes of the Crimson downfall. Grinnell scored its Page 126 FOOTBALL first touchdown in the Mrst quarter when Thomas of Grinncll made a seventy- four yard run through Goes right tackle. The second touchdown came as a result of a pass from Thomas to Ul- rich in the earlv part of the , . , ' Quarterback second quarter. Coe made a strong ofFensive drive but a fumble gave the ball to the Pioneers, who immediately punted out of. danger. The Pioneer grid- sters scored again by another sensational thirty-five yard pass to Duncan. Their last touchdown was repetition of the first three. Duncan crossing the goal line with a pass from Thomas. Coe made their second strong attempt to score when they drove down the field in the third quarter to the Pioneer fifteen-yard line, but an attempted pass over the goal was incomplete. Although making as many first downs as their opponents, the Coe team failed to gain as much yardage as the Grinnell team, which appeared to be in mid-season form. BlNTNER Tackle Mansager End The following week, a fight- ing Coe eleven took the field against the Purdue Boiler- makers at Lafayette, but met defeat by a score of 19-0. They showed vast im- provement over the previous week ' s con- test however, and had it not been for the plunging Purdue fullback. Yunevich. the Koha ' wk team would have been on evener ground. The big backfield star proved himself to be an open field runner of marked ability as well as a plunger, when he scored all of the Purdue touchdowns. The first touchdown came as the result of a sprint of 33 yards. He scored the sec- ond touchdown by a smash through the line from the one-yard line and the third bv a brilliant dash of 68 vards. Good End Page 127 FOOTBALL Rouse Fullback The Coe line held up well against the heavy Boilermaker offense, and fought gamely. Although not threatening to score, the Crimson gave but little through- out the game except on the unfortunate occasions when Purdue es- caped around the end and, with perfect interference, was able to score. Rasmussen and Madden were particu- larly outstanding in the Coe line. Crossing the goal line once in each quarter, the St. Louis University grid team defeated a fighting Coe eleven to the tune of 26-0. on October 9. LaPresta. St. Louis halfback, crossed the Coe goal line for three of his team ' s four ScHWANK touchdowns. He proved his Guard ability as a ball carrier during the second q uarter when he intercepted a Coe pass and ran seventy- five yards for a touchdown. During the second half the Kohawk line buckled itself together, which forced the St. Louis team to resort to an aerial attack. Coe gained possession after St. Louis had advanced the ball well down the field, but an attempted Crimson pass was for the second time intercepted, and resulted in another touchdown Byrnes for the Billikens. Halfback Coe. outweighed greatly by the St. Louis team, put up a strong fight, but again their inexperience caused their defeat. Byrnes, veteran Coe halfback, showed up exceedingly well, be- ing the chief ground gainer for the Crim- son, On October 17, Coe lost all hope of an- nexing the fourth consecutive Midwest championship, when Monmouth defeated the fighting Kohawks by a M. ' vDDEN score of 16-0. Both lines Tackle were battling on even ground, but Coe ' s inability to cope with the Scot offense of lateral passes and end runs spelled defeat for the Crimson in the initial conference game for both teams. Corgnati. flashy Monmouth halfback, re- turned one of Byrne ' s kicks to the ten- yard line and after failing with line smashes for three downs, crossed the goal hne as the result of a lateral pass. Page 128 FOOTBALL In the last quarter of the game the Scot machine scored a safety and soon after repeated the first touchdown with a lateral pass from the Kohawk 15-yard line. The Coe forward wall from tackle to tackle played a strong game, but the ends and backfield were be- Foknf.v wildered by the Scot running Ihillhack plays. Simpson College met Coe on a muddy field for the Kohawks ' initial home game and nosed out the Crimson by a score of 13-6. The Methodists ' aerial attack was the big feature of the fray, scoring both of their touchdowns by passes in the third quarter. The first half saw the two teams battling evenly with frequent fumbles on both sides. Simp- Belknap son came through early in the End third quarter when their aerial attack began to function, which scored their winning markers. After the Methodists ' second touch- down. Coe showed their only flash of power when Smith, replacing Byrnes for injuries, and Forney forced the ball far into Simpson territory after which Forney crashed over for a touchdown. The in- juries sustained by Byrnes in this game kept him out of the Crimson lineup for some time. Abrams Guard In a Coe Homecoming game, the Crimson gridmen met their sixth successive defeat, and our Purple rivals from Mt. Vernon annexed their first victory of the season by a score of 9-6. Cornell possessed a punch which seemed lacking in the Crimson forward wall and their victory came as a result of their power to throw back the Kohawks on the few occasions when Coe seriously threatened to score. Coe. on one of these occasions, had the Kettler ball on the one-yard line. Tackle Both teams scored their touch- downs in the first quarter, Cornell by a series of passes and line smashes on the first kickoff, and Coe, when Du Rie inter- cepted a Purple pass and ran fifty-five yards for a touchdown. The teams battled on even ground until Page 129 FOOTBALL Cornell, in the third quarter, gathered their additional two points by a safety, which was the result of a blocked Coe punt. Cornell registered thirteen first downs to seven for Coe. The Purple gained 150 yards from scrim- R. SMussEN mage to the Kohawks ' 70. Center Bintner and Rasmussen were outstanding in the line, re- pulsing Cornell ' s attack on three very dangerous goal line assaults. The following week-end, the Ebymen travelled to Northfield, Minnesota, where they were decisively defeated by Carleton, with a score of 33-2. Neither Coe ' s of- fense nor defense was functioning prop- erly, as evidenced by the fact Michel that the Carls made eighteen End first downs besides completing six passes, to the Kohawks ' one first down and two completed forward passes. Two of Carleton ' s touchdowns were scored in the first half, but after the sec- ond half opened. Carleton still possessed the punch to put over three more touch- downs, one of them by a Carl substitute who intercepted a Coe pass and dashed sixty yards to a touchdown. Forney ' s punting was a feature of the Harmon game, while Michel, Belknap, Halfback and Good also performed creditably. The Coe victory bell pealed out its glad tidings of victory for the Kohawks for the first time, when the grid team turned in a 7-0 victory over Knox, on November H. An intercepted pass by Carris and a four- teen-yard run by Good paved the way for a victory when Forney scored, just twenty seconds before the final gun. Good football was impos- DuRiE sible due to ? muddy Coe field, Fallback and an uninteresting game be- came a punting duel. The Ebymen had a chance to score in the early part of the first quarter when Forney in- tercepted a Knox pass and raced seventy yards down the field, only to be tackled on the five-yard line. Four plunges failed to produce a touchdown, but resulted in an injury to Byrnes, Coe ' s star halfback. Page 130 FOOTBALL Good. Carris. Rasniussen and Bintner are all deserving of favorable comment for their play in the Knox contest. In the last game of the season, played at home on November 20. Coe met defeat at the hands of Iowa State Teachers to the tune of 6-0, thus ending a rather dismal season for the Kohavvks. The game was played on a field of sticky mire, and marked the eighth setback in nine starts for the Crimson team. The game was featured by a punting duel, since, due to the slippery condi- tion of the field, neither team could make any headway through the line. Coe s passing attack was most effective of the two teams when they completed four attempts, while the Tutors completed one out of three attempts. Outstanding in the Crimson ' lineup was Rasmussen. whose defensive work at center was consistent and deserving of mention. FRESHMAN FOOTBALL Although Coach Allen had one of the smallest freshman squads congregated at Coe for several years, it is doubtful whether there has ever been a more outstanding group. The quality was e.xceptional. In the three games played. Coe held the Grinnell frosh to a 6-6 score, they tied the Cornell yearlings 0-0. and on Thanksgiving Day they completed the season with a charity tilt with the combined Waterloo High School teams. It is very probable that several men will see action on the varsity team next fall. The outstanding freshmen were Batisto Saccaro. (Captain). Ernest Jensen. Arthur Swarzentruber. Godfrey Slavik. Erwin Hahn and Charles Claypool. Swanson. Hfilm. M.Tckiiy. .lackman. Berry. Claypool, Coarh Allen Homan. Bell. Swarlzentruber, Page, Moore. Noble .lohnson. Gragg, Leonard, Ludy. Saccaro. Lewis. Jensen jsiii ' :.; Page 131 Captain Don Paris Forward BASKETBALL With but one varsity letter-man as a nucleus for a team. Coach Rittgers is to be commended for the basketball team which he turned out this year. Don Paris, veteran forward, was not only the only letter-man, but he was also the only Senior on a squad composed largely of Sophomores. With this group of men. inexperienced in inter-collegiate competition. Coach Rittgers developed a team which won five games in fourteen starts. Seven of these games were Conference games, of which three were won by the Kohawks, entitling them to a tie for fourth place. In the first game of the year, played in the men ' s gymnasium on Dec. 1 1, Coe was victorious over the Augustana five in a close game which ended 24- 20. The Kohawk squad of sophomores led by Crawford, rangy center, piled up a lead of 16-8 in the first half which the visitors were unable to overcome. The play of Good. Pack and Belknap was outstanding. Iowa State Teachers won from the Crimson quin- tet 29-26, in the second scheduled tilt, which was played December 17, at Cedar Falls. Coach Rittgei-s, Good, Kettler, Brown, Crawford, Nenry, Pack, Thompson (manager), Coach Kby Paris, MuJler, Higgins, Belknap, Buchwalter, Carris, Poole Page 132 BASKETBALL With but live minutes to play, and the score 29-21. the Kohawk.s .staged a rally. but were unable to cope with the Tutors ' stalling tactics, and met their first defeat of the season. The Kohawk offense was led by Pack, stellar Crimson I ' m k forward, while Captain Neary Forward shone on the defense. On January 6, the Coe bas- keteers met their old rivals, Cornell Col- lege, in a non-conference game on the Purple floor. In a game marked by ragged offensive play, Cornell nipped the Crimson and Gold, 24-20. Neary, brilliant Crim- son guard, led the Kohawk scoring with seven points. Coe opened its Midwest Conference season January 12 at Gales- burg, 111,, and was defeated by Neary Knox, 36-26. After the Ko- Guard hawks opened the game at a fast pace, the Siwash quintet soon gained the lead and held it throughout the game. Good, Crimson forward, was the individ- ual star of the game with si.x baskets and two free throws for a total of fourteen points. The Illinois players were good on the defense, as well as being tall and handy with the ball. Playing on their own floor on January 29, the Kohawks were handed a heart-breaking defeat by Good Grinnell, 28-27. Led by Forward Good, the Coe defense func- tioned perfectly in the first half, when they led the Pioneers by a score of 22-13, Duncan, Pioneer ace, finally broke loose in the second half, and led his team to vic- tory in a thrilling game which was prob- ably the most spectacular witnessed on the Coe floor this season. On the following night, the Kohawks avenged their defeat earlier in the season by downing the Crawford Cornell cagers. 20-16. Com- Center pared with the evening before. it was a listless game, with the Kohawk squad holding the advantage throughout the game. On February 5, in their second confer- ence game of the season, the Kohawks en- 4iv; Page 133 BASKETBALL v Li U 111 tertained Monmouth, and handed them a 31-30 defeat in a closely contested game. Good. Neary, and Belknap were outstand- ing for Coe, while Ozburn and Captain Robinson played brilliantly for the Scots. In their third conference Poole game, the Crimson quintet was Center defeated by the Cornell cagers, 34-28, at Mt. Vernon on February 6. Led by Warner, at the beginning of the second half, the Purple team ' s exceptional speed in handling the ball enabled them to establish a nine- point lead, which the Kohawks could not overcome. With the exception of this spurt in the second half, the game was hard fought, the lead alternating several times. BucHWALTER Playing a return engage- Fonvard ment at Grinnell on February 12, the Kohawks were again defeated in the closing minutes of play by the same score, 28-27. in a game equally as thrilling as the first one. Prye, Pioneer forward, was the outstanding player of the game, while Good played an excellent game for Coe. Closing a successful invasion of Wis- consin. Illinois, and Iowa, the Carleton cagers. Midwest Conference Champions, soundly trounced the Kohawk HiGGiNs squad on February 13. Led Forward by Dick Arney, brilliant for- ward, the Car ls swept through the Kohawk defense to collect 43 points, while the Coe cagers were collect- ing 18. Poole, substitute center, led the Kohawk scoring with seven points. Completely recovered from the defeat at the hands of Carleton on the previous week-end, the Coe quintet defeated Be- loit, 32-22, on the home floor for their second Midwest Conference victory. With an advantage of 22-9 at the half, the Crimson squad had no trouble in maintaining their lead. Good and Faris led the Kohawk offense, while Schaefer held top honors for the Badgers.

Completely outclassed in the first half, the Crimson squad was unable to reach its mid-season form, and lost to the Lawrence five. 38-13. With the score 26-5 at the half, the Kohawks found themselves unable to penetrate the Viking defense, and were held to five field goals during the entire game. In the season ' s final game for both teams. Cornell defeated Coe 29-24. March 4. on the Coe floor. The game was slow throughout, and was marked by Coe ' s poor playing, both offensively and defensively. Good. Kohawk for- ward, led the scoring with eleven points, pushed closely by Gabrielson of Cor- nell, who scored ten points. The victory for Cornell was their third win in the four Coe-Cornell games this season. FRESHMAN BASKETBALL A very large squad reported to Coaches Eby and Byrnes this year, and it is very probable that a number of these men will develop into varsity material by another year.

Earl Piatt won high honors with eleven points. Outstanding performers in the field events were Piatt, Arnett, Frazier, Sebern, and Smith; while Pulver, Hurka, Byrnes, Biser and Vermillion were the leaders in the track events. After a two week tryout period. Coach Rittgers selected a squad of nine men to make the first trip of the season, to the Drake Relays at Des Moines. The men making the trip were, Hild, Pulver. Ver- million, Letner, Sebern, Hurka, Arnett, Biggs, and Schiller. The sprint medley team, composed of Hurka, Pulver, Hild and Vermillion, placed a strong third in a field of eight teams. Sebern tied for fifth in the high jump by clearing the bar at si.x feet. On the following week-end a squad of twenty- one men entrained for Northfield, Minnesota, where a dual meet was held with Carleton. Due to de- cided superiority in the distance runs and field events, Carleton won a decisive victory over the Hann, Schiller.

The Crimson squad next met the Iowa State Teachers and Cornell Colleges in a triangular meet on Coe Field. By virtue of nine first places, the Kohawks were enabled to pile up a total of 61 points to lead the Tutors, who totalled 46 points, and the Cornellians. who scored 29 points. Arnett. Coe broad jump and pole-vaulting ace. leaped a distance of 21 feet, 1 1 inches to set a new Coe record in the broad jump. At Grinnell the next Saturday. Coe. with 35 1 3 points, placed second in a triangular meet. Grinnell easily took first with 66 points, while Carleton was last with a score of 32 2 3 points. Arnett again set a record in the broad jump when he leaped 23 feet. 4 inches. In their fifth meet of the season, the Kohawks travelled to Mount Vernon where they engaged Cornell College in a dual meet. The Cornellians were swamped by the Kohawks. who scored 12 first. 8 second, and 7 third places to amass a total of 91 points to Cornell ' s 41. Sebern ' s time of 25.3 seconds in the low hurdles established a new Coe record which had stood since 1912, when it was set by Stunkard at 25.4. As a climax to a successful season. Coach Rittger ' s squad entertained the Midwest Conference schools on Coe Field for the tenth annual Midwest Con- ference track and field meet. With seven firsts to their credit, the Kohawks captured their first Midwest Conference meet in eleven years of competition.

Bond ONE-MILE RELAY TEAM Ben Sebern again did more than his share, by winning first places in the 220-yard low hurdles, the 120-yard high hurdles, and tying for first in the high jump with his team mate, Ben Schiller. Not only was Sebern high point man of the meet with a total of 14, but his time in the 120 high hurdles was only 3 10 seconds slower than the conference record of :15.5, set by Reay of Carleton, in 1927. Arnett, Kohawk captain, took ten points with firsts in the broad jump and the pole vault. The last event of the afternoon was an exciting one-mile relay, in which Hurka, Crimson star, running as anchor man, over- took Sherman of Knox to win by a few strides. FRESHMAN TRACK The first competition for the Freshman track squad was in the Home meet, in which they placed last, with 26 ' - points. In the Midwest Conference Tele- graphic meet, won by the Carleton freshmen, the little Kohawks placed sixth with 10! points. On May 23, Cornell ' s well balanced freshman track team defeated the Coe yearlings by a score of 74-57. The most promising performers on the squad were Pack, pole vault and shot put: Fetch and Hibbs in the hurdles: and Correll in the distance runs. Page 13S Tennis Golf Intra-Murals m cr [ inor Sports TENNIS Tennis has become increasingly popular on the Coe Campus, and as a result, much good material has been uncovered. In the 1931 season, the tennis team played thirteen matches, winning eight, losing four, and tie- ing one, for a percentage of .666. In connection with the Midwest Confer- ence Track and Field Meet, the first Annual Midwest Tennis Meet was held on the Coe Lourts, and Bell Raymond, ranking player of the Coe squad, won the Singles Champion- ship. Other members of the squad included: Clele Tyner, Louis Burkhalter. Jr.. James Dillon, Avelino Serna. Ralph Westcott, Donald Paris, Paul Engle, Marvin Burk- holder, Robert Gunn, and Robert Packard.

Very much interest was shown by the embryo Jones and Farrells, trying out for the squad. The members of the squad were: Harold Reid. Leslie Higgins. Tom Powell. Herb Hampton, and Wayne Stookey. Powell acted as manager. Higgins. Hampton, Pnwpll. Stnnkey They met their first competition in the Iowa Intercollegiate Golf Tourna- ment, sponsored by Iowa State college at Ames, on May 21. With six teams entered. Coe was able to place 5th, due to Higgins score of 167 for the 36 holes. On Saturday, May 23. Coe lost a dual meet to the Iowa State golfers on the Kenmore Golf Course. 1 1 ' t to 6 ' 2- Reid. of Coe. had low score with an 82 in his singles match. Two other matches were also played, one with Grinnell and the other with Iowa University. At the close of the season. Reid, Higgins. Powell, and Hampton were awarded minor letters by the Athletic Board of Control. From the interest shown, golf is sure to become an important minor sport at Coe. Page 141 INTRAMURAL ATHLETICS Since the intramural games have become a recognized part of the Coe Col- lege Athletic program, there has been a spirited rivalry among the social fra- ternities on the campus for possession of the trophies awarded in the various events on the intramural program. This has fostered a spirit of true sportsman- ship and fair play, in addition to encouraging participation in athletics. Under Coach Thomas Hayden ' s guidance, the intramural system has been better organized this year than ever before, and new sports have been included on the program. The events on this year ' s program were as follows: Tennis, singles and doubles; horeshoes, doubles; wrestling, four weights; handball, singles and doubles; free-throwing; volleyball; basketball; indoor baseball; and golf. Individual winners in each event were awarded gold belt buckles, with a crimson C engraved on it along with the name of the sport in which the buckle was won. Team awards, instead of the customary cup, consisted of a statue of an athlete, posed to symbolize the sport in which it was awarded. In addition to the trophies awarded individually, there is a traveling trophy, awarded to the best all-around organization. This trophy was won last year by the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity. Robert Packard was the student manager of intramural sports, and was assisted by Nevin Nichols, James Van Orsdol, and Roger Weismann. In the finals of the Horseshoe tournament, the Delta Phi Epsilon team, com- posed of Joe Allen and Vernon Henderson, was victorious over Donald Neary and Russell Dougherty, representing Chi Beta Phi. To win the handball championship, Frederick Smith defeated Morris Abrams, 21-12. 21-7. Abrams and Smith, repeating their victory of last year, defeated Avelino Serna and Louis Taylor, 21-7, 21-12. to win their second consecutive doubles championship. Winners in the four divisions of the wrestling tournament were: Batisto Saccaro. heavyweight; Burrell Fagen, 165-lb. class; Wilbur Unash. 145-lb. class; and Theodore Wallace, 125-lb. class. Unash and Wallace were also champions in their respective classes last year. In the free throw contest, Charles Claypool, Delta Phi Epsilon, placed first; and William Whipple, Chi Beta Phi, placed second. Page 142 INTRAMURAL ATHLETICS In the volleyball tournament. Phi Kappa Tau won all of its games to place first, while Chi Beta Phi placed second. Tau Kappa Epsilon, champions of last year, downed all of their opponents to win first in the basketball champion- ship, while the Alpha Delta Alpha team was runner-up. Delta Phi Epsilon. likewise champions of last year, won the indoor baseball championship, with Phi Alpha Pi a close second. With the golf and tennis matches yet to be played, the winner of the all- around trophy is still very undecided. However, Delta Phi Epsilon. Chi Beta Phi, and Tau Kappa Epsilon appear to be the strongest contenders for the title. INTERIOR OF MENS GYMNASIUM Page 143 INTRAMURAL ATHLETICS The recreational facilities at Coe include practically every line of sport. In addition to the large football field, which is encircled by a quarter-mile track, there are eight tennis courts. In the men ' s gymnasium there are two handball courts, a mat room which is fully equipped, a playing floor on which there are three basketball courts, in addition to the equipment for the physical edu- cation classes. In the basement is an indoor cinder track, and a dirt floor, used by the various teams during inclement weather. It is also used for the indoor drill of the military unit.

COUNCIL AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION The Women ' s Athletic Association, which is a member of the Athletic Con- ference of American College Women, is sponsored by the Department of Physical Education for Women. As is stated in its constitution, The purpose of this Association shall be to co-operate lA-ith the Department of Physical Education for Women in promoting interest in gymnastic and athletic activities as a mean of promoting physical efficiency, athletic accomplishment, scholar- ship, and good sportsmanship. So varied a group of activities is offered that any girl can find a particular interest. There are class teams in hockey, volleyball, baseball, swimming, archery, and rifle. Besides these outdoor sports, the Physical Education Depart- ment offers a variety of indoor activities. There are classes in folk and natural dancing, clogging, fundamental Danish gymnastics, plays and games. WO.MEN S GV.MN.NSIU.M Page 147 DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION A Class in Gym The excellence of the Physical Education Department for women of Coe is credited to the supervision of its directors, and to its splendid equipment. Professor Ethel Ryan, head of the Department, is a graduate of the School of Physical Education, Columbia University, and has a Master of Arts degree from the same institution. Miss Ruth Zika, assistant in the department, is a graduate of the Chicago Normal School of Physical Education, and of Coe College. She has also done graduate work in Columbia University. Miss Evelyn Street assists the directors in swimming, having charge of the Red Cross Life Saving. Miss Street has been appointed the official Red Cross examiner for the Eastern section of Iowa. No College in Iowa has so splendid a field, such a fine equipment and provisions for a Department of Physical Education for women, as has Coe. Page 14S DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION There are three outstanding feature programs sponsored by the Depart- ment of Physical Education: The Colonial Ball Ballet, presented in February; The Demonstration, held the week before Spring Vacation: and the Campus Fete, which is the first number of the Commencement program. Each of these affairs is considered as an outstanding event of the College year. Once a month the W. A. A. sponsors Tea Dances which are very popular with Coe women. The W. A. A. also presented a demonstration on Parent s Day which was an early autumn event. In the spring, a tennis tournament is run off and the winner receives a silver trophy which is the gift of an alumnae member of W. A. A. Since a Major in Physical Education has been offered, this Department is becoming increasingly popular among the women of Coe College. Women ' s Field House Page 149 CAMPUS FETE iid|ita i||g||M f Miss Lacy Bell presided over the Campus Fete of 1931 as Queen of Coe. Her attendants were Mary Northey and Bernice Reynolds. Before an im- provised sylvan background, on the campus in front of the Chapel, a varied program of interprative dances was presented for an audience of more than 2,000 people. I Page 150 COLONIAL BALL A Colonial Ball Ballet is given in connection with the annual Colonial Ball, held this year on Washington ' s birthday. Presiding over the Ball were Louise North- cott and Louise Randolph, chosen to represent Martha and George Washington, respectively. All the Colonial dances given were under the direction of the Physical Edu- cation Departnient. Dances chosen are those that belong to the col- onial period and consist of min- uets, cotillions, country dances and gavottes. M.NHTiiA ANij George NoRTHCOTT, Randolph m: Helen Mokrejs.

Miss Ryan is in charge of the instruction and is assisted by Miss Zika. Miss Street gives the Red Cross Life Saving, and is the official examiner. Katherine Keiber is the lifeguard this year. Fifty women are enrolled each term and are divided into classes of begin- ners, intermediates, advanced and Red Cross Life Saving. A swimming meet is held each spring, and W. A.

FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY FOUNDER ' S DAY DINNER This picture reveals only the central group of the nearly three hundred guests who gathered for the occasion on Saturday evening. December 5. at Voorhees Quadrangle. Among these guests were some few peculiarly repre- sentative of that day fifty years ago. when Coe was chartered as a College of Liberal Arts. Samuel Hall ' 88. of Cedar Rapids, was present as the sole representative of the student body of that day. Rev. William H. Phelps ' 06 of Des Moines and Mrs. Clara McConnell of Council Bluffs, son and daughter of President Phelps, under whose guiding hand Coe Collegiate Institute became Coe College, can be said to have been the two guests peculiarly representative of the Faculty of that day. The Trustees of that infant college were repre- sented by direct descendents — Dr. John F. Ely, by his son, }. S. Ely. and his grandson. J. M. Ely; E. R. Burkhalter by his grandson. Louis Burkhalter. Jr.; and S. L. Dows by his grandson. Sutherland Dows. The student body of today was represented by one hundred of its members. The Faculty of today were almost all present, sixty strong. And in addition to J. S. Ely and Sutherland Dows, both of whom are members of the present Board of Trustees, a number of other trustees were present. In that early day there were no alumni, but the 2481 alumni of record in 1931 were represented by nearly fifty of their number. Members of the families of faculty and trustees and other friends of the College made up a group of nearly 300 guests. BOOK VI O l?w G A. IS.

The purpose of the club is to bring the foreign and American students into friendly contact, thus permitting a better understanding and a spirit of good will among the representatives of the nations of the world. Herbert Park served as President of the club this year. Constance Watkins was Treasurer, and Delpha Meythaler was secretary. Page 231 i WRITERS ' CLUB The purpose of this organization is to stimulate creative arts in the college, to promote an active appreciation of contemporary writers, and to provide a medium of expression for creative writing in the college. Regular meetings are held twice a month on Thursday evenings in Literary Hall. The nature of these meetings consists in discussion of the work of the members, or Workshop meetings; discussion of current poetry and prose writings; and meetings in which the main interest is an outside speaker. The official publication of the Writer ' s Club is the Caravan, which contains distinctive work of members of the student body at large. An effort has been made this year to provide each member of the club with a loose-leaf volume containing the work of the members of the club on mimeographed sheets. A dinner for members and friends of the Writer ' s Club was held in January at the Voorhees dining-room. Mr. Jay G. Sigmund, a widely known local writer, was the guest of honor and speaker of the evening. This dinner is becoming an annual event of interest.

Dozens of them: short, heavy ones: long, thin, fantastic ones, all glinting in the meagre light which filtered into the apartment. Instruments which she had never seen: that caused her soul to creep for very fascination. Frozen, she gazed, spellbound by the unexpectedness of it all. She had long had a gnawing anticipation of this day. but now she could scarcely realize its portent. Having arranged each piece, he straightened up; settled a look of baleful satisfaction upon her. as if awaiting an answer. But none came; no sound save an occasional choking sob wrenched from her throat broke the awful silence. The seconds grew into minutes, the minutes into hours. Still he bent that soul-raking stare upon her. Then he spoke. This is not all. Not all by half. He was mocking her. Again I shall come, and when I go. then you shall see all and know all. For a year from today I shall return. Mark you well that you have your answer ready. ' And he swept the shining instruments into their case. And so the Fuller Brush man took his leave.

I Must Tell You About My Operation A man was walking by a graveyard one evening and heard a strange noise. Being a kind old gentleman he sauntered over to find out what the trouble was and saw a poor man, weeping and tearing his hair, prostrate upon a grave, sobbing Oh why did you die? Oh why did you die? What ' s the matter my good man? he asked. But the poor man just sobbed again and again, Oh why did you die? Oh why did you die? Who died? asked the kind old gentleman. The poor man raised his head and with tears in his eyes and broken voice answered, My wife ' s first husband. N M ■ n i u It R ri ni Page 236 ■DIRT ' ON THE SHEETS There arc several publications on our Campus some are good, some are bad. some are terrible. Each publication has a purpose, the purposes varying in small degrees. The College administration guard over the financing of them. That is they take the ones that do not pay for themselves. The other ones are self-paying. The board of control for publications is composed of men. all v. ' ho are intensely interested in journalism (especially papers): they are Dan (v ' hat a man) Castle, Edward (Dean) Beardsely. Gus (Burp) Saltrect. and Sarge Seay. All of these men are pick up men and al l spend eight or more hours a day on the job. They are powerful, dynamic men who sweep everything before them. But let us not dwell on the Control Board, let us go into the publication and see what makes it. The first publication we will consider is the AroRN. Let us go back a bit into the history of this bound volume. It seems when Dan Coe decided to go to school he had to find a place. At that time there were no schools that he liked, so he, being a Kohawk. decided to build one for himself. This he did. His first step was to establish an annual in which he could record the passing events. But Dan didn ' t realize there were so many squirrels around and before this publication was put out. the said squirrels ate it all up. Woof! Woof! But Dan didn ' t care because the result was two-fold. In the first place he found a name, Acorn because the squirrels would eat it. In the second place the said annual was so putrid that the said squirrels died as they bit into the editor and business manager. Since that day the Acorn has been a graft on our campus. The college diary is published once a year by a couple of the boys who know nothing about it. They have an office in Williston hall which is merely a place to leave their books and bat the bull or. as the Tekes would say chew the fat. The Acorn has no specific value, only as a means to put a couple of boys through school. There ' s never anything in it but pictures and the Hke, but you don ' t need a picture when you can see and sometimes feel the face in the flesh. But who cares? Do you care or do you? But let us not tarry along. Let us consider the Cosmos. Squirrels eat Acorns, Acorns are squirrely —logic. The reasons for having the Cosmos on the campus is not exactly known. However, there ' s a rumor to the effect that it is for no good reason at all. and why not? The only person who can pronounce the name of it right is Prof. Bryant and he gets it wrong. The contents of the weekly rags are various, that is both good and bad. We prefer the latter because its the easiest to spell. The office of this publication, like the AcoRN, is also located in the Williston Hall Building, only it is on the ground floor. The reason for this is obvious. It being because the publishers are lower in rank and in poorer health. To go into the high altitudes would be the downfall of the Editor. Geo. Stauffacher, who does not approve of high places, George would, wouldn ' t he? Page 237 The contents of the Cosmos are good, bad and indifferent. The publication has one great fault, that is, it lacks originality. But who cares, dear reader, who cares? After careful and dilligent study a group of the faculty members wearing smoked glasses concluded they could not see a thing in it. This may seem a bit startling and I advise you, dear reader to take a deep breath. But nertz there ' s no use of me going into detail about this Cosmos, it ' s all folly and who cares for folly when one is folly for reading this. Let us now get on to the other publications. It is with great ecstacy that I begin to tell you about the third publication on our campus beautiful. It is so near and yet so far from me. But let ' s not get too sentimental. It ' s called the Zip ' N Tang, a cute name and t o the point. Much strife lies behind it and it seems that the future is cloudy. The zippy was born some three years ago and according to some faculty members three years too soon. For three years two men guide the destinies of this masterpiece, it only takes two people and that is just fine for the two people. The idea is there are two people who do the work for all the staff. Two people. Let us next consider the home of the zippy. Where is It? That is the point to be discussed. ' Where is It? Rumors are around to the effect that the home is in several places. It is reasonably sure, however that the Phi Alph house has been the hangout for the editors. We might also add these following places. Campus Drug, College Pharmacy, Acorn Office or on any street corner. Incidently one might ask this question, why doesn ' t the zippy have a regular office? This question is often the embarrassment of the deah old ed. But if you ask me the faculty had their nose in it some how. The contents of the zippy is perfectly the nurtz. It is full of that good old gore called humor and what humor. I ask you. what humor? Some of it is good, some is bad. the best of it is bad and that is why it is good. It seems as though the faculty and students do not agree on humor. What the faculty considers bad, the students consider good and of course the same old phrase, visa-versa. Of course the faculty never read it and so they know, therefore ye zippy editor reads the copy before he prints it. But hark. I am taking too much of your time, but what a time. Let us go on to the other publication. The Zip ' N Tang will go on and on. Am I squirrely? .► ). .8 .c rv. 9a. n - — Page 238 The last publication I wish to consider is the catalogue. This is edited by none other than William Piffle Benson, and why not? It is published once a year and may we add once a year too often. The content contains no humor. few pictures and no news. No one ever reads it but Mr. Benson, good old Benson. The contents are of a great variety of nonsense. It tells what the college offers when its what we get that is to our own interest. Still I may be a bit radical and a bit narrow minded, but can a hundred people be wrong? If the paper was thinner we might be able to utilize the good old catalogue, farmers do; why can ' t we students? I suggest some one start such a move- ment and have this printed on this paper and then we will accept the catalogue and read it from page to page. Let the movement adopt this for their motto One in every home and house. This will assure the Alpha Delts of the comfort they have been yearning for. And now. my friend, all good things must come to an end. I could have gone into more details. You know the details. This article is merely a supplement Before leaving you. dear audience. I am going to give you the names of the people who produce the publications just discussed. ACORN— 1. What-a-man West Editor 2. Kibitzer Kubias Business Manager COSMOS— 1.

Page 242 ALL-FACULTY TRACK TEAM For years men have looked to track as a means of physical development. It is written that all men are created equally. Far be it from me to e.xplode this theory, and here is where I come to the point. We have on our faculty a great variety of talent in all lines. It happens that they are all interested in track and outdoor sports. But closer investigation reveals (this was done by means of key-holing ) that we have a well-balanced track team. This being true, why not pick a squad and on the day of the conference meet .also stage a meet be- tween the faculties of the competing institutions? Besides being of great value to the faculty, those who witnessed the meet would see knowledge in the flesh. Consequently, we present what we consider a team that, if handled correctly, would go far in the way of being Olympic material. For the sprints we have none other than Speed Coffin and Step Henry, both of these men being the class of any field they hight meet. Speed is capable of walking a furlong in record time, while Step, if pushed (or car- ried), would come in a close second, provided only two were running. In the hurdles we have some excellent timber for both races. After careful consideration, we have selected four men for these events. In the high hurdles we will enter Stub Hickok, who has had much experience in his youth in jumping over curbs and gutters. As a running mate in the highs, h will have none other than Squatty Robbie, Squatty should be of great value to the team in this event. His condition is perfect, as he often walks home after start- ing out in the Robbie ' s old Flying Cloud. In the low hurdles we have no other choice than Lefty Weld and Hi Peterson. Both of these men are built low and racy, and both men are stream-lined. Hi has little or no wind resistance and should be able to place well up in the dough. In the field of middle and long distance stars, we had some trouble in our selection. So many of the boys look like potential winners. But. after careful deliberation, we selected the following as entrants. In the 440. Skoot Newell and Go-Some Ogburn, because they are both consistent trainers, as evi- Page 243 ■ ' - y A yy ,y y y y y yy y y ' y ' ' ' y Af denced by their ability to lecture some 45 minutes without stopping to take a breath. Skoot is especially good, as he is used to running back home for spare parts for his Chevy. In the 880, we hav eonly one entry, High Water Kahlenbeck. who appears to be a cinch at this distance. He ' s got the abihty to run the first 660, and enough intestinal fortitude to finish fully ten yards in the lead. In the mile and two-mile dashes, we have some good men. Dutch Kremers was the cream of the crop of milers. He expects to cut four seconds off of his present record of three days and a half. The flag of Coe will be hoisted high into the air, also, when Cue Ball Werkman leads the pack in the two-mile race. He has for his running mate, Stoney Stookey, who should shatter all records, providing he doesn ' t stop to pick up stones in the course of the race. And now we come to the field events, where brawn supplants brains, and it is here where our faculty tracksters should score the most. In the shot we have Tiny Seay and Husky Benson. Both of these men are in a class of their own when it comes to throwing it. They should do our team justice. In the discus we have Pee ' Wee Kubichek, who seems to be the class of the field. PeeWee will win if he doesn ' t stop to analyze the worms he uncovers while throwing the platter. It may be of special interest to know that Pee ' Wee used to hash for his meals and it is here where he became interested in throw- ing the plate. In fact that is why he didn ' t hash very long. In the javelin we will enter Dead-Eye Obrecht, who has had much experi- ence in this event. Obrecht at one time held the record at good old Have A Lock, with a throw of 29 Kilocycles. This record held until only a few weeks ago. Dead-Eye, consequently, is out to regain lost laurels. He looks good. In the pole vault, we have a conference champ in Watch Chain Jacobsen. Jake looks good for about six feet, if the pole is long enough. He has only one bad tendency, and that is, he most always knocks the cross bar off, that is, when he gets up that high. In the high jump we have Pop-Eye Powell, who can clear the bar with three gulps and one jump. Powell should go hot this year, as it is his first one in conference competition, and he is fired to superb efforts to make good. And so you see our line-up. It looks good, and we feel it will be hard to beat. It is only fair that we name the coaches and trainers of this outfit.

Page 256 TRADITIONS ' M ' OW traditions are all right, far be it from me to say they are not right. Every campus has its Days of Tradition, even as our own campus beauti- ful. But what is a tradition. I ask you. what is a Tradition? It is most difficult for me to explain what one is and who cares as long as we already know? Let us consider some of the outstanding traditions on our campus. First, let us consider the old and worn out phrase of Keep off the grass. Just what does this mean to the average student? Wire fences are erected for the purpose of reminding the students of the fact that they are s ' posed to stay off the grass. Why only two weeks ago I saw the whole Chi O chapter actu- ally crawling through the said fence on their way to the Campus Drug. What was this a sign of? Allow me to say this was merely a sign that even this group of intellects forgot. But let me go farther and state that fences mean little or nothing to almost anybody. Fences are made to crawl through and for this reason alone, therefore as long as there are fences there will be students and as long as there are students there will be colleges and as long as there are colleges there will be Traditions and as long as there are Traditions students will break them. It all narrows down to the fact that people walk, and will walk on the grass. Let us now consider that old day of daze, Flunk Day. Just what does this mean to the average student? The Profs maintain that it is a lot of the so- called bunk and it should be abolished. Of course this is only a general opinion that is held by a select few, and what a few. To the student it means a great deal. Why only a few days ago I overheard a student make this stirring state- ment, Give to me Flunk Day, or give me Flunk Day. Such is the present conception of Flunk Day. What is Flunk Day? Allow me to give you a brief idea of what it is in the outline method. Of course I could use the old fashioned method but whatinell ' s the use? 1. Flunk Day a. Held once a year when the ground is grassy and dry. b. Grass must be a grab and a half high. c. All dates must be the country loving type. d. Be sure to get one that doesn ' t eat much but brings a lot. e. Get a date that doesn ' t smoke, or as a second resort take a plug of tobacco along. f. Two or three blankets — depending on the condition of the terrain (ground to the common rabble). g. A girl who can stay out after ten o ' clock. h. A date that doesn ' t talk about the weather, i. One that believes that actions speak louder than words, j. Prevail upon your fraternity brother for a ride. k. Forget about everything except good old fun. (Ed. note: You can ' t beat fun.)

SCHOEN f E.xcLusivE Furrier Cedar Rapids, Iowa Page 269 POLITICS Politicians are on every campus, consequently we have corruption on every campus. So it is on our campus. There was a time when an election on our campus was as dead and uninteresting as an evening at the Alpha Delt house. But that was in the good old days, when beer flowed freely and Voorhees girls stayed out until the extremely vicious hour of eight. Then came the revolution. It seems that there lived near our campus beautiful a group of boys who did not appreciate political conditions on the campus: that is. they didn ' t like the certain man who was up for office. The office, inciden- tally, was a common one. and had no bearing on campus affairs, that of Student Council President. Well, anyway, these boys thought they ' d have things their own way. and print some extra ballots. These they distributed to their gang. (This all happened in the good old days when the ballots were passed out to the common herd in Chapel. ) Picture the result for yourself. From the number of ballots cast, the enrollment of dear old Coe had doubled over night. Picture the dis- comfiture, nay, the ire, of that group of students known as the Student Council. After much haggling, a plan was finally agreed upon by a majority of the members .whereby each student was to receive a set of blank ballots upon paying his tuition. This raised the incidental fee. but who knew there ' d be a depression in those days? And that, fellow students, once and for all answers two questions of momentous import, namely: 1. Why we have come to hold elections with the aid of a can. 2. Where the remaining $15 of our incidental fee per semester goes to. | x$ $ x8x$ «8 « ««$ «$sSk$ «$«Jk8k$« Page 270 QUALITY AND SERVICE In All Its Branches PORTRAITS COMMERCIAL Landscapes Kodak Finishing Kodaks and Supplies Home Portraiture Enlarging and Printing Frames and Framing Groups of All Kinds Flashlights Without Smoke Application Photos « « « O    Baldridge Studio and Camera Shop 318 3rd Ave. S.
