More or Less Personal
A Board of Control meeting was called last Friday by Vice-president Curtis McIntosh in the absense of President Bill Hauge. The Board considered and accepted a propo-sal by Dean Titt providing that 50 per cent of the debt incurred by the dramatic department last year be paid out of the "Old Debt Fund", the remaining amount to be met by the department. The action was taken to enable the dramatic department to purchase equipment necessary for the chapel stage.
Miss Ethel Tripp, Margaret Robert-son, aned Miss Grace Watkins presented a violin and piano en-semble last week at the Rotary banquet at the Marvin Hughitt Hotel.
Elsie and Dorothy Titt will visit their parents, Dean and Mrs. Titt, during the holidays.
The YMCA Glee Club serenaded Tuesday evening at the dormitory, and the homes of faculty members and friends of the college. Later a party was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. I. Pasek.

LANKY NETTLETON CAGERS DOWNED IN COURT THRILLER
Scalpers Tally Last To Win by One Point In Hard Fought Game
The Scalpers defeated Nettleton's Business College quint 33-32 in an exciting game here Tuesday night.
From the first quarter until the final whistle sounded, both teams were on the floor to win. Playing nearly tie ball, all the way, the Scalpers
took advantage of their opportunities and successfully held the speedy invaders.
Although Huron led the game at the half time by four points, they later trailed and were one point behind at the fourth quarter. With only sec-onds remaining, Hauge made a beautiful one handed shot to put the tribe ahead by one point to win the game. There was no further scor-ing, but close shots held the Huron rooters in nerve-wracking suspense.
Bill McDermott, past letterman for the Scalpers and one of the impor-tant cogs in the Scalper basketball machine, made his first appearance of the season in this game. Others who played for Huron were Hauge, Schuelke, Herther, Knapp, Camer-on, and Sisson. Hauge was high point man for the evening with 18 points.

Huron College Instructor
Writes Plays and Books
A Love For Creative Writing Proving Profitable; Fan Mail Increasing
"I'm all out of ideas, Mademoiselle," Dr. DePoncet said. "I'm writing nothing more this year."
DePoncet, author and professor, has earned a vacation; since September he has written 953 single-spaced pages of manuscript. Several plays are now ready for publicaton, and other stories and dramas which he has written in various languages have already been published and are selling successfully.
His Book, Better Stories, Jokes and Toasts, held an honored posi-tion in the window of Cheun's Bookstore in Chicago last Novem-ber, where it was featured as one of the best books of the month.
The Last of His Race, a Spanish play is ready for publication. Two other plays DePoncet has just finished are Midnight in Mexico and The Consistency of Con-stancy. He has also rewritten a version of his unusual allegory, The Devil's Defeat. The revised edition will be twice as long as the original volume.
While DePoncet gives the old typewriter in his third floor class-room a brief respite, the news-papers are publishing accounts of his literary achievements. But better still, Monsieur DePoncet has passed the true test of fame, for in the past months the local mail carrier has been burdened with scores of additional cards and letters - fan mail for the Professor of Romance Languages at Huron College.

Debate Duo To Six-State Tourney
Glenn Parker and Elgin Wollman will defend Huronian forensic colors in a trip to Moorhead to compete with teams from Wisconsin, North Dakota, South Dakota, Missouri, Minnesota, and Nebraska, today.
Confidence in the possibility of do-ing more than holding their own goes back to the debate trip taken last week-end. Mr. Parker and Mrs. Wollman, Ruby Corrington and Maxine Stanley accompanied the coach to Sioux Falls on January 28. Yankton, Augustuana, Wesle-yan, and Sioux Falls were present.
Although the debates were non-decision, the Huron contestants felt that preliminary training under Mr. Trefil proved very satisfactory.
This year's question reads, Resolved: that the U. S. should ceased to use public funds (inclu-ding credits) to stimulate business.
Two weeks from today, Augustana College will be host to the contes-tants in the State Forensic Contest. The Huron squad will enter the contest, which begins on February 16 and lasts two days. Huron's hopes lie with the outcome of to-day's battle at Moorhead.

Huron to Have
Finance Secretary
Mr. F. H. Hammon from Ashland, Ohio, has been made Executive Secretary of the College. Former graduates have actively interested Mr. Hammon in Huron College, to the extent that he will attempt in his new position to promote that interest financially. The drive for funds has been started already from the President's Office, but his future work will be mainly in the East.
Student interviews with Mr. Ham-mon report unaminous consensus that he's a man who exemplifies his belief that "a sense of humor is the most essential attribute a man can have."

Parkermen Set For South Foes
To Invade Hostile Greyhound And Tiger Camps for Real Battles
The Scalpers take to the road this week in an effort to better their ninth place rating against Yankton tonight and Dakota Wesleyan Friday.
The Greyhounds are resting in eighth place now with one win and three losses, but have dropped some close games to high ranking quints. In Ecker, Acers, and Coolidge, and Yankton team has three potent scorers. And Coach Parker's boys are not forgetting that the Grey-hounds counted 48 points against Augustana, the team that trimmed Wesleyan by 10 points last week.
The invading Scalpers will face a vicious Wesleyan Tiger the nigth fol-lowing the Yankton game. Coach Belding's cohorts will be in their nas-tiest mood because of their 55 to 45 defeat by Augustana last week which dumped them from second to fifth in th estanding. The Tribesmen must face a star-studded lineup including Draisey, all-conference forward last year, Greener, all-conference guard last year, and Coats and John-son, flashy yearlings.
Coach Parker's lads had been practicing hard in hopes of nabbing a brace of wins on their southern trip. Scalper rooters have been encour-aged by steady improvement in recent games. A large delegation is planning to accompany the purple-clads to Mitchell.

Scalpers Foiled by M. E. Tigers
Power In The Pinches Spelled
Victory For Mitchell
Sharpshooters
A clever team from Dakota Wesleyan, accompanied by their band and many rooters, invaded the Scalper bailiwick January 21 and trounced the Tribesmen to the tune of 49 to 34.
The Scalpers showed improvement but the powerful Tigers carried too many guns fo rthe Scalpers. Len Herther, Huron center, was potting shots from all angles despite close guarding by Draisey. He wound up with 8 field goals and a free throw for a 19 point total. Draisey and Coats provided most of the fireworks for the down-state team.

Georgie Aisenbrey
She is the baby of the Senior Class. The youngster will celebrate her twenty-first birthday this coming month. Reasonably enough, she is also the lightweight of the class, weighing only ninety-six pounds. Gone are the days when children are seen and not heard. Georgie has a mind of her own and she has expressed it.
Favorite color: Blue or red.
Favorite study: Dramatics.
Favorite hobby: Designing.
Favorite time-waster: Shooting baskets.
Favorite song: In the Chapel in the Moonlight.
Georgie's college career has been somewhat stormy. The Sophs, not-ing that she was younger and greener than her contemporaries, made her suffer for it. She also engaged in a spirited Lipstick War duing which she was captured and held for the sum of five lipsticks. Not content, she proceeded to brew a little trouble between Bes-selievre and Dixon in the year '35. Georgie has taken an active part in dramatics. She played the leading role in Growing Pains during her sophomore year, and she has given readings at dorm parties, recep-tions, and society teas for four years.
"I want to teach third or fourth graders for awhile," Georgie said, "And then I want to get married."

Kathryne Kenny is Re-Elected Editor
The Huron College student body elected Kathryne Kenny to the position of Associate Editor of the Alphomega. This amounts to a re-election, for Miss Kenny held the same position during the last semes-ter of the 1937-1938 school year. As editor next year she will be serving her second term in that office.
Like other members that have been elected to the Alphmega staff, the new associate editor realizes the value of a full-year term for both this office and that of the editor. Such a change would work to the advantage of a more efficient staff, a better paper, and less waste time and temper.
Miss Kenny has made an out-standing scholastic record in college. She has taken part in both debate and oratory, and is a mem-ber of the Beothean Literary Society. She was awarded first place in the State Essay Contest on the Beadle County Centennial dur-ing her freshman year; she devoted a goodly portion of her first sem-ester's time this year to editing the Alphomega. In 1936 Miss Kenny was elected the D. A. R. repre-sentative from Huron High School, as an evidence of all-around merit.

Dr. H. Ketelle Gives Junto Group Talk
The relationship between Capitolism and Christianity was discussed by Dr. H. Ketelle at the last regular Junto meeting.
Dr. Ketelle refuted a common belief that economics is outside the juris-diction of the Church. He also pointed out that Christ recognized the economic problems of His day, but did not attempt to establish economic theories. For this reason Dr. Ketelle discounted the attempts of various governments to trace their systems back to Christ's Word. According to the speaker, Christianity does not require Capi-tolism to eliminate profit sharing or adopt inefficient business methods, but expects honesty and fairness in the business world.
