UNIVERSITY NOTES Gerald Duppler of Minot has been

appointed chairman of the publicity committee for the Junior Prom which is to be held January 12.

The grand opening- of the skating ring on the University campus took place last Monday evening. An elaborate system of lighting was ar­ranged by the committee, flares being placed around the rink and spot lights from several of the buildings made a very pleasing effect. The University Band played several numbers and Norman S. Falhanger of Grand Forks, a Senior at the University, and one of the cleverest ice skaters in North Da­kota entertained the crowd, who at­tended the opening with some fancy figure work.

The reserve members of the Dakota Playmakers presented two one-act plays last Thursday evening in the Women's League rooms before the active members of the organization and their guests. The first play, a satire "Revolt" by Ellis Parker But­ler was coached by Dorothy Massee of Grand Forks. Lucile Ring of Minot was a member of the cast. The sec­ond play was "America Passes By", and was directed by Maurice Johnson of Minot.

The class rifle championship was decided last Thursday morning when the Juniors succeeded in winning over the Freshmen who had been ahead up to that time. The match held this week is the first of a series of con­tests to be fired in the It. O. T. C. de­partment this year. After the Christ­mas holidays a team will be picked form among the best shots which will form the varsity team and which will represent the University in all con­tests with teams representing the schools in the Seventh Corps Area. Matches have been arranged already with South Dakota State, South Da­kota University, Iowa University, Ne­braska, Missouri and the North Da­kota Aggies.

Kiwanis Weekly Meeting The Kiwanians enjoyed a fine musi­

cal program given by the Ladies' quartet composed of Mesdames Mack-ley, Cobb, Mercer and Stenstrup at their luncheon at the Episcopal dining hall, where lunch is served by the Guild. J. .J. Coyle was the speaker, he spoke at length on the subject of "Child Welfare" informing them of the new bill that will be introduced at our next legislature, pointing out the good features of it. It may be of in­terest to know that Ward County stands out as an example to other counties of this state to be patterned after, it is generally conceded that we take the best care of our juveniles. Carl B. Davis, the juvenile officer, was a visitor. Rev. Gulilxson gave the club a splendid review of the Christ­mas story in a few well chosen words. The attendance prize offered by Dr. F. A. Brugman was awarded to B. A. Balerud. The election of officers for the ensuing year was as follows: Pres­ident J. R. Pence; vice president, E. J. Demots; Treasurer, B. A. Balerud; District Trustee, Carl N. Cox; Board of Directors, H. E. Byorum, E. J. Mc-Grath, Melvin Fauchald, Jacob Hofto, O. B. Hergistad, Andy Carr and Duane Clapp. J. R. Pence was chair­man at the meeting.

company's staff and their families were entertained at a 6:30 o'clock banquet Tuesday evening at the com­pany's club rooms, the occasion being the annual dinner of the J. C. Penney company and the manager and the co-partners of the Minot division, D. H. Bartholomew, W. N. Sinclair, R. E. Anderson, E. E. McNeal and R. F. Roach
