met COMMITTEES
IN CAPITAL CITY

In the chapel exercises of Saturday,
January 20, some time was taken by
President c. E. Allen to describe his
visit of January 81 and % which he
made in Bismarck comforting with the
Board of Administration and with the
appropriations committees of both
houses. Dr. Allen also told the stu
dent body in some detail what appear
to be our most urgent needs in ap-
preparations and in the extension of
our material equipment He referred
especially to new physical education
building and showed how the refusal
to provide for such building will ser
iously affect efficiency in giving in
struction in physical education. The
law requires that this subject shall be
taught. There is also the fact that
the Federal Government has desig-
mated the Valley City State Normal
kind in North Dakota to receive fed
eral money which could be withheld
for lack of material equipment if the
authorities should so decide. ,
A part of Saturdays chapel exer-
cises was then devoted to a. practice
of basketball songs.
Miss Ruth Meldanl ana Anna Sort
land composed the following song
which was sung with great enthusiasm
in order to be 'tred out" on the first
team when it should return from it's
victories.
Mary Mason led the students in the
singing.
Here's to our boys the winners,
Here's to old V. C. N.
No matter who opposes
Victory, again! again!
Rah! Rah! Rah!
They've got the pep, the ginger,
They've got the skill we know.
Let's boost them on forever
Come V. C. N. Let's go!
This song is being sung to the tune
