SWEET MUSIC, SURE

The work of the college girls band
is progressing very favorably. There
are now about thirty members of the
organization and it is hoped to in
crease the number to fifty. The sew
eral sections of the band are now suf-
fciently developed to begin ensemble
work and Prof. Christensen promises
a concert by the organization some
time in the spring. The girls say
they expect to rival the military band,
and from the interest displayed in
their rehearsals it may be that the
boys will have to work to retain their
laurels. While the greater part OF its
membership consists of girls of the
college, any others who may wish to
join are invited to do so.
We r glad to note the extension
Of band and orchestral organizations,
Mr.. Christensen now having besides
the military and girls bands, the reg
ular college orchestra, another orches-
ira for beginners more particularly
for boys and girls and the Aggie band.

THE FACULTY RECITAL

The annual recital by the faculty
of the college department of music
Friday evening was attended by an
audience that very nearly filled the
large auditorium.
The program was very pleasing both
in arrangement and content, introduc.
ing each of the new members of the
faculty to the public and giving each
an opportunity to display their arts.
tic skill.
Miss Wynn, soprano. rendered two
groups Of songs. the first of old Eng.
fish sons, the latter of songs by mod
ern writer's. OF the first songs, Arne's
Under the Greenwood Tree was espec.
tally artistic in its rendition and of
the second group, Little Mother OF
Her tones are excellent and under
good control which qualities together
with her stage presence partially ex
plain her popularity.
Miss Fields, did some very attrac-
tive work in her piano numbers. Her
melody playing in the Chopin Noe.
turne and the Schumann Aria was es-
pecially delightful; the intricacies OF
the Chopin Etude &C sharp minor and
the Spring by List were easily met
In her playing, her mental qualities
seem to dominate rather than the in.
t~uitive. which is a very desirable ten.
dency in a teacher.
The brilliancy Of Mr., Rollers play
ing upon the progra mhas attracted
no little favorable comment. The
technical requirements of the LalO
Romance and S%dhubert's "The Bee"
as well as the difficult rhythms of
the Slavonic Dance were met with
ease. His tones are strong and pure
and his sense Of Interpretation high
ly artistic. AS his second number,
he gave a most brilliant rendition Of
the difficult Saint-Saens Introduction
and ROndo Capriccioso.
The Accomplishments afforded by
Mrs. Robert w. Hotchkiss and Miss
Claire Wiley were most delightful.
A pleasing feature of the program
was the charming Lullaby written by
Mrs. Hotchkiss, which was sun as an
encore by Miss Wynn. 1t is n of
a group of childrens' songs soon to
be published and should be highly sue
cessful.
We are pleased to note the splendid
talent acquired by this department of
the college and feel confident that the
splendid reputation of the department
Will be ably sustained.

service says returned soldiers have to
hunt their own jobs. While the whole
country is waiting to hear some defin-
ite program for reconstruction and
assimilation of the returned soldiers
into civil life positions. many theories
and proposals are being voiced by in
dividuals as to the proper methods to
be applied now.
Through the very nature Of its
work, the United States employment
service which in this state commenced
to operate last June on an extensive
scale and is gradually expanding, has
been called upon to take an active
part in the adjustment work. Super
iEtendent c. H. Madden of the Office at
Sioux Falls, by a Of the fact
that he served in Cuba and in the
Philippines in the Spanish American
war 20 years ago, has a keen interest
in aiding the returning soldiers now.
Mr.. Madden also expressed some con-
Germ that to date he has failed to note
any great change in the attitude of
the public since the period immediate
ly following the Spanish-American
war.
Because of the fact that I in COM
mon with thousands of other soldiers
a score of years ago, faced a some

Il note that the same willingness to
send the boys Out to fight for the coun-

then. The whole country Ell .hused

when they ca1aeot 30, there was a
iasm. Of course folks 10y lad to
see them and they were Civ. oyal
welcomes and all that but the big
thing for the soldier then as it is To-
day, was to fit him into some place
where he could be of most service.
Nov probably it is all part of hui
man nature to relax when the thrill
of war has passed and to plunge into
ones own affairs without giving as
much thought for the man who did
the fighting for us as we should. The
soldiers are not and will not be beg
CARS for jobs. They have earned their
place in the world. They are eager to
continue to be of service and there is
plenty of work everywhere to care
for them all but no one seems to come
right out and offer to do the practical
thing.
CAS- l see it now, there should be
more s~pontGneity ca the part Of EN-
ployers to ASSIST III formulating a
definite program that would assimi-
late these boys into the commercial
work as they appear ready for it.
Those soldiers who come back are
eft not to their own to find
such jobs and while many of them are
able to do it, it is not the real spirit
of gratitude that we as American cit
liens should show to those who of
fered their lives for the country"

 At the meeting Tuesday night May O. Cotey presided. The election held on May 27th was canvassed and the results declared. It having been ascei taineG that Asa Miller, s. V. Ncrte., M. B. Crawford, O. J. Cotay, c w. Young, George B. Gamble and R K. Minson received the highest number of votes cast upon motion of F. H. Springer. president of the retiring council, and seconded by Alderman Backstein, the above named gentlemen were declared elected for the ensuing two years as aldermen of the town of Clifton. Each sub scribed to the required oaths, which was administered by Attorney Hook CT.
 After the induction of the new aldermen in office the first business that came up for disposition was the election of mayor. Alderman Norte placed in nomination Alder man Asa Miller, and Alderman Young nominated Alderman Minson as the chief executive of the city. The re- suits of the ballots showed that Min son had received four votes, while Miller received three. Alderman Minson was declared elected, and took his seat as the presiding officer for the ensuing two years. The vote on this proposition was as fol- lows: For Minson- -Cotey, Young, Crawford, and Minson; for Miller - Norte, Gamble and Miller. Both candidates voting for their own cleo tion.
 Alderman Norte was elected presi- dent of the Council by exclamation, he having been placed in nomination by Alderman Miller.

Hagan, George Carl ton, D. P. W. Eylar and Ben c. Stur- gess. The application of George Carlton was accompanied by the proposition to accept the position at a salary of $125 per month. In the con- sideration of the applicants there was no evidence of the spirit of conser- vation, as this position has hereto fore carried salary of $175 per month, and in fixing the salaries later in the proceedings the Clerks salary was fixed at the same sum as heretofore paid, notwithstanding, the application of MT. Carlton the Coun- cil was given an opportunity to save the sum of $50 per month, or $500 per year.
