A concert by the Pro-Arte Quartette, a string ensemble, will be presented at 8:15 p.m. on Tuesday, November 21 in the college auditorium1•
Every member of this Quartette is
an accomplished musician, and the
concert will undoubtedly be exceptionally fine.
The Quartette is made up of members of the music faculty at the University of Wisconsin. It gives concerts at Wisconsin schools as a public
service offered by the University.
When appearing within the state of
Wisconsin it charges only for expenses, but it stipulates that no admission price be charged. For this
reason both students and the public
will be admitted free.
This program wa~ arranged by the
Assembly committee, headed by Dr.
Arthur S. Lyness, and made up of
faculty members and members of the
Student Council.
Andy has another niece, Rita
Pejsa, who is a Freshman at CSTC.
His nephew, Lt. Arthur Pejsa, of the
Army, also attended CSTC a few
years ago.

National Book Week
Is Being Observed
The better world of the Four
Freedoms must be built from the

Book Week, November 12-18, feel.
In sponsoring this year: s theme
"United Through Books" they are
featuring children's books which
will build a solid foundation of understanding . among children of all
nations. Books are the open doors to
the knowledge and understanding
on which alone freedom and democracy can endure.
This year is the 200th anniversary
of the publication of the first book
for children - the "Little Pretty
Pocket Book", issued by John Newberry in England in 17'44.
Working with the special empha·
is on children's books, the library
staff of CSTC has prepared a color•
ful exhibit of books at the Training
school. The bright covers and fine
illustrations characteristic of these
books are incentive enough to make
even he adults skim through them.
A number of books have also been
purchased in the interest of the Rural
Demonstration school.
Because of wartime restrictions on
materials and transportation, Nelis
R. Kampenga, college librarian, feels
that the exhibit of new books for the
college will not be ready for Book
Week. The librarians are, however,
planning to have a Book Fair later
in November.

Dorm Dial;--g
The past week was a busy one for
all the Dormites. It was the end of
the nine weeks, and everyone knows
what that means. For the very fortunate underclassmen, it meant nothing more alarming ·than ~xamina­
tions. For the seniors, the end of the
nine weeks meant giving examinations and averaging grades until
they added rows of numbers in their
sleep.
Thursday, November 9, it rained,
as everyone knows. The city bus going downtown at 1:30 was so crowded it actually bulged! Many be-draggled and slightly damp ginls came
back to Nelson Hall highly praising
the movie, WILSON.
If you were around Nelson Hall
dining room this past week, you
heard some fine singing. Saturday
noon, November 11, Miss Gladys
Van Arsdale and Mrs. Mary Samter,
who were at the Dorm' for lunch, got
a small idea of how utterly un-teacher-like the girls at Nelson Hall can
be.
Saturday and Sunday bro11ght its
quota of guests. Dorothy a~d Alice
Stroik of Chicago dropped in to see
Alta Niven. Martha Stock aQd Meredyth Mykleby were two other very
welcome guests. Mickey is teaching
at Abbotsford this year, and Martha
is waiting her orders to report to
Hunter College, New York, to begin
boot-training as a WAVE. ~iss Rose
Barber had as her guest th~s weekend, Mrs. Dellin Beltz of Madison.
Mrs. Beltz is a receptionist: at the
YWCA there.
'
And so Sunday came to an end,
and so began the final stretch of
Martha Halama's campusing.
At the Dorm housemeeting held
last Monday evening, it ras announced that a Thanksgiving dinner
"with all the fixings" would be
served for the Dormites on Sunday,
November 19.. In place of the usual
song, the Dutch hymn, "Song of
Thanksgiving" will be sung.

Given by Speaker
"Wed~ not want to develop intellectual gtants that are emotional
dwarfs. The education of one's mind
and one's heart, of emotional and
spiritual growth, must come togethc
er. The color of your courage is important." These were the words of
Mrs. Dorothy Waldo Phillips, youth
counselor, who talked to faculty and
students on Wednesday, November
8.
Mrs. Phillips went on to say that
we should not mind ignorance- we
sho~ld _ask whether jt is static or dy\ namtc tgnorance. "Education is like
hash," she, said, "the stuff just accumulates! Many of the most important things in life escape measurement and pass through the sieve
of facts. If _the process of alchemy
takes place m the mind of the student, material changes from instruction to knowledge. Only then does
it become usable.
\
In r times like these, Mrs. Phillips
expla~ned, there is a need for wicfene~s. of heart and for height of
spmtual development. Skills in human engineering are needed. "Have
you e-yer thought about what kind
of person you will be in a crisis?"
she inquired.
In closing, Mrs. Phillips gave this
challenge~ "We must be dedicated
to something more important than
ourselves. History has been made by
men of the expectant heart."
The speaker was introduced by

If the walls of Nelson Hall could
speak, they would have many varied
tales to tell.
Nelson Hall has served as a "home
away from home" to many a girl
who has attended CSTC. The frie!ldships the girls make here are chenshed throughout life. .
.
The dormitory fust opened tts
doors on September 17, 1917. Miss
Bertha Hussey was the first Dean of
Women, and Mi~.~ May Rowe was
the matron.

In 1918 the new dormitory did
not house women, but about 100
young men of ,the Student Army
Training Corps. These men, who
were not old enough to be subject
to draft, lived according to army regulations and were in attendance at
CSTC over a period of two or three
months.

terrible and inspiring truth about the
French underground. "A Walk in
the Sun " by Harry Brown is a history of 'one platoon of Y~nkee saldiers on the outskirts of a beachhead battle in Italy. "Fair Stood the
Wind for France," by H. E. Bates, is
