Ten Students I Are Named For Who's Who Nine seniors and one junior student from Coe have been selected for Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Colleges. Jayne Carrier, Joyce Dollman, Dora Jane Hamblin, Betty Knox, Carl Koehn, Loyal Meek, Winifred Murray, Lawrence McLeod, John Prasch, and Max Reed are the students whose biographies will appear in the 1940 edition of the book. Who's Who among colleges was begun five years ago TO give recognition to outstanding students in all colleges and universities. Last year nine students were chosen from Coe but because of the increased enrollment this year one more was selected. Only juniors, seniors, and post-graduates are eligible for the honor, and approximately one student out of 85 is chosen.

Apparently as a reaction from the hot water in which the Student Council floundered last year, this year's student legislative body held a typical meeting last Monday night at which time it was decided when Student i mediately, Ethel R.

Under the heading of unfinished business members of the council discussed a proposed exchange of chapel programs with Augustana College. but before anything resembling action was taken the council adjourned. Serenity was the keynote of the meeting. SERVES AS INCENTIVE I I The purpose of the publication is to serve as an incentive to students to get the most from their college careers, to compensate them for what they have already done, and to serve as a recommendation to the business world. Selection for Who's Who is comparable to such honors as Phi Beta Kappa and the Rhodes Scholarship award.

School Is Part Of A Dog's Life By Bruce Fishwild A non -paying, non enrolled, and very much out of the ordinary siudent has been attending several classes on the Coe campus recently. Nicky, a bulldog pet of William Norris, has been attending classes regularly with his master since the cold weather started. It all began this fall. At first, Nicky just rode to the campus with Norris. but remained in the car during class time.

Finally the weather got. too cold to stay outside so he was left at home. Much to his surprise, Norris found that the dog followed him. Not knowing what else to do. he now takes Nicky to class with him, rather than leave him out in the cold.

The dog's manners axe irieproaoiiable. He makes no disturbance and quietly follows Norris from the classroom when the period is over. After a particularly trying hour with his U. S. history class, during which Dr.

Myron L. Koenig had received practically no information from students in an oral quiz, he remarked that the dog had been very well behaved and even implied that Nicky would have been quite as capable of answering questions as the students had been. Nicky is a high school graduate already, having attended classes with Xorrls for several years. He always rode to school in the basket of the bicycle, and on cold days would come into the school house. In hot weather, Norris said, the dog's favorite spot was in the doorway to the girls' shower room, where it was always cool.

He has received no complaints as to Nicky's conduct in classes, and to prove to us that he was an educated dog. Nicky went out to the hall, stood up on his hind legs, and drank from the fountain while Norris was paying a visit to The Cosmos office. evenly matched and it was almost impossible for any of them to score. It all happened the week before va- cation, which makes it seem that we're dragging up ancient history. The freshman-sophomore game was played a week ago last Friday after 1 noon on a muddy field in a drizzling rain.

Visibility was so poor that it was almost impossible to see the ball unless it was directly under one's own nose. The game ended in a scoreless tie with everyone very much out of breath. Both teams wanted to play it off, but after three extra periods of five minutes each the score still remained, unchanged and it was too dark to see the ball. I Since there wasn't any winner, it was decided that the upperclassmen should have a chance at both the freshmen and the sophomores. They took on the sophs on Monday afternoon before vacation, and the game officially ended a tie, but both teams agreed to an extra period in which the sophs, with a junior's help managed get one in the box.

Shirley Madsen, hard-hitting captain of the sophomores. passed to Dorothy Nelson, another hard-hitter, who slammed the ball at the goal. It just missed going in and Marjory Deering, closing in for the kill, managed to hit the ball in such a manner that it bounced from Doris Smith, junior's, stick, and into the box. ANOTHER SCORELESS TIE The upperclassmen really got down to work then and played fast and ihard. but the combined efforts of Dorothy Henry, Dora Jane Hamblin, and Joyce Dollman, upperclass cap, tain, couldn't quite put it across the 'line.

The period ended with a moral victory for the sophomores although the game goes on record as a scoreless tie, due to the fact that, like football, played off. Upperclassmen, feeling a little more sure of themselves on Tuesday, took the freshmen to the tune of 1-0 without even an extra period and no arguments. LaVeme Jessien and Maxine Lutz were outstanding for the 1 freshmen. 1 Prof. Ethel Ryan, director of physical education for women, refereed all 1 the games.

Evelyn Street was time- i keeper, and linesmen were physical 1 education majors.
