XXXVI—NO. 24 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGE OF EDUCATION, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Friday, April 9, 1937 Live And ^ Learn -By Don Gooding- Cuban Pianist Appears Here Monday Givic Music Is Sponsor Hiya, Duchess, ol' sock, ol' pal, ol' dear . . . . ! * ! * ! * !* About to enter a hall of fame much different than the one mentioned at the bottom of this column is WWC's little songbird, Mary Johnston, author of two promising pieces, "Moonlight on the Campus" and "Serenade in Blue." The former was initiated by Mel McKee last quarter, while the latter was written only a short time ago. When Jimmy Dorsey came to town Monday, Mary and her publicity agent, Helen Boothe, took time off to exhibit their wares before the famous swing maestro. The impression made was such that Dorsey asked her to put the finishing touches on the two songs, copyright them, and then mail them to him in Hollywood, There, he said, he Would have them prepared for orchestration and see that they got a fair consideration. Later the press agent for the band told the two girls that this was the first occasion that Jimmy Dorsey has offered personally to aid in the publication of amateur songs. There's nothing like a little hitchhiking along the road to fame, me-thinks. « j * j * I * Last Easter Sunday 6,000 New Jersey worshippers struggled up the snowy slopes of a mountain about the size of Sehome hill. So cold did it become that, in spite of the heat of a 15-foot burning cross, the trumpet in the accompanying orchestra weakened, finally succumbed to the elements and refused to emit another note. The expansionist theory was given as a cause. Too bad they didn't have Fred MacMurray around at this time, eh? * j * j * j * Let's talk crow. Now that crow, famous dish of Mother Goose epicures, has arrived back in its kingly rights, the hazardous art of preparing the delicacy is being revived in the higher social circles of fowl-hungry devotees. Typical is this toothsome recipe: Take 16 cornfield crows and remove feathers, if possible. Put residue on 12xl4-inch oak plank, smother (they're not dead yet) thoroughly with garlic, onions, tabasco peppers, and bay leaves soaked in wild cherry vinegar. Place planked crows in hot oven- After tenderizing for two hours at 440 degrees, cautiously remove the succulent meal from the inferno. Then throw away crows and trimmings, and eat the plank. Should have said toothless instead, maybe. * j * I * j * An air of mystery has been haunting the Viking's columns the last several publications—concerning the Hall of Fame, that is. MOST of you probably don't know that SOME of you are famous . . . Well, you are. And any time you, or even you, want to become famous, too, as a member of the Hall, take a walk up to the Viking office and complain bitterly because your name adorns the dirt column. Or even if you go down to the print-shop and ask those two obliging gentlemen, Miller and • Sutherlen, to remove your name from among the type, why they'd be glad to let you in the Hall. . . . Watch it grow. . . . * i * i * j * ' Says a Miss Carhart, New York City wagster: "In days gone by people used to "stand up" for their rights; now they sit down for them." The imbroglio has its funny side after all. * i * i * i * Late one night, this Denver youth noticed a car pull up to the curb in front of his father's store, watched a trio emerge stealtily from its interior looking like a bunch of dishonest intentions, or just gangsters. And so they were. The 22-year-pld lad took a gun by the hand, patiently ensconced himself behind a counter to lie in wait. • Didn't do any good at all, though.

Approximately 300 tickets are available to students. Preferring American audiences to any other, Echaniz declared that they are the most discriminating Jose Echanez and at the same time, the kindest audiences in the world. "Latin audiences," says the pianist, who is himself a Latin, "are not sympathetic in the manner of American audiences. If they agree with your particular interpretations, well enough; but if they disagree, their ears had better be closed as far as the artist is concerned. Latin audiences can hiss as enthusiastically as they can cheer. "Latin audiences are fickle. Americans are most constant. In the United States an artist who has established himself enjoys certain privileges. He can present his individual ideas and they will be considered politely, but let an old tradition be broken in a Latin country, and a stampede of disapproval breaks loose. The artist who is foolhardy enough to offend in this way is lucky if he escapes intact." . o New Instructors Are Hired For Summer Term Plantation Hop Tomorrow Everyone has heard of old King Cotton, Carry Me Back to Old Vir-ginny, Swanee River, and Down South. Well, tomorrow night at 8:00 the atmosphere of the old South will be brought to the big gym in the form of a razzle-dazzle "Old Plantation" dance and party put on by the Junior-Senior class. Mel McKee will furnish the dreamy swing music. "There will be plenty of surprises at this dance," says Mary Jane Moergeli, general chairman, "as well as local southern color brought to us in the form of entertainment." "Refreshments will be the real things for once, more money being put into eats than into the decorations," according to Norma Jane Gorsline. "They will be more than just punch." The committee, Mary Jane Moergeli, general chairman; Phyllis Robinson, refreshments; Marge Osier, publicity; and Norma Jane Gorsline, decorations, all say that masquerade is not necessary, just wear the new spring duds. -o Summers Elected Bragi Prexy Students Vote Wednesday; Neil Starts Campus Day Nominees Are Chosen For Board Posts In an interview with President C. H. Fisher last Monday, it was learned that WWC will have two newcomers to the faculty during the summer quarter. Miss Audrey L. Packham, who is now in charge of practice teaching at Rollins college, Florida, will teach the seventh grade of the training school. Miss Pack-ham is not unknown to some of the faculty members for she taught here one year ago while Miss Crawford was on leave of absence and has also been back a few times in the summer sessions. Miss Van Pelt, whose place Miss Packham is filling, will take her vacation the summer quarter. Miss Mattie Perry, now director of physical education for women at State Teachers college, Hattiesburg, Mississippi, will take charge of the PE classes while Miss Ruth Weyth-man is having her vacation. Not a newcomer, but also another instructor who will return to the college this summer will be Edward J. Arntzen who has been on a leave of absence studying at Columbia university. "We are looking forward to a large attendance this summer," stated President Fisher, "for the teachers have this summer and next to do work toward a life diploma." He also stated that the issuing of life diplomas will be discontinued after September 1, 1938. Hereafter, there will be a certificate issued for six years; which will also be renews able every six years. The requirement for renewal depending on successful teaching for.two.years out of the six and the return to school for six weeks in the summer time. Jean Summers was re-elected president of the Vanadis Bragi club in the Edens hall club room Monday evening. The following are the newly elected officers: Sylvia Williams, vice-president; Una Clibon, secretary; Jean Richards, treasurer; Helen Baird, ICC representative; and Margaret Bertrand, sergeant-at- arms. \ The following reports were given on modern biography: "Ariel," the life of Shelley, by Andre Maurois, was reported on by Una Clibon; "Elizabeth of Essex" by John Strachy, was reviewed by Grace Hall; "Francis the First," by Francis Hackett, was reviewed by Jean Summers; "William Hohenzollern," the last of the Kaisers, by Emil Lud-wig, was reported on by Sylvia Williams. o Dawson Attends Seattle Education Meet Four-Quarter Representatives Picked; Election.of Candidates Will Take Place Wednesday "We as future teachers need to be aware of state curriculum work, and make it our responsibility to keep up with current publications in this field," stated Miss Marjorie Dawson, supervisor in the primary grades of the city, who spent Friday and Saturday attending the State Curriculum commission meeting, which convened in Seattle, Wash. The members of the commission are appointed by the president of the administrative and supervisory section of the WEA. "As there is no curriculum director in the state it has become necessary for a representative group, selected by state officials, to participate in this plan. In the future every teacher in the state will be asked to attend conferences on material coming from the state commission, in which curriculum study will be evaluated. Each section of the state will be asked to choose a leader to start these conferences and each section will also work out a plan for curriculum improvement in its particular region. More progress has been made in the elementary than in the secondary field to date," concluded Miss Dawson. The Commission has been working in three committees. They are: a committee to plan a state-wide attack on curriculum problems in this state, of which Miss Dawson is a member; a committee to survey present practices and recommend particular proceedings and materials to the curriculum commission; and a committee which will formulate a long-time program and propose transitional steps indicating necessary administrative changes, higher institutional requirement changes, etc. The ;. Commission is considering a program for .curriculum improvements on both elementary and secondary levels. Clara VanderGriend, Maxine Mol-drem, and Louise Lammers were nominated to fill the position of four-quarter representatives, open to women only, at the nominating convention which met Tuesday afternoon in room 108. Betty Swisher, Bob White, and Phil Kidder were nominated as candidates for the four-quarter representative open to men and women. Miss Florence Johnson, Dean of Women, was elected permanent chairman of the convention and Eleanor Reasoner, recording secretary. Constitution Changed Frank Chorvat gave a report from the Board of Control on a change in the constitution. This was accepted and passed by the convention. The six people nominated will be voted on at the regular student election next Wednesday. Other nominations may be made by 25 students signing a petition of the student they wish to put up for the office.

Justifiable Individualism The recent legislature passed an act which completely revolutionized the status of our school. We are now classified as a Teacher's College—nominally at least. The writer of this article has been in attendance at WWC for six quarters having transferred from a liberal arts college of. this state. A noticeable lack of interest in athletic contests and other activities sponsored by the student body has been evident. The attendance at football and basketball games will bear out this fact. Spiritually speaking, we are a bunch of "dead heads". What are we going to do to remedy this situation? We don't have to resurrect that type of person known to the man on the street by the rather notorious name of "Joe College" or "Betty Coed". The solution is much simpler—each and every student 100% for WWC and eager to enter into its activities. I am sure the faculty will cooperate with us in any pro-attract that type of student who is going posals that we may suggest. If we are to to enter wholeheartedly into the activities of school life, we must have something in our program that will satisfy these wants. This article is just a "key-noter"—the chief purpose being to sound out the various opinions of the student body. If you have any definite proposals to offer please make them known in these columns. Let's make WWC the best teacher's college in the State of Washington. —J. A. J. o Starting with the gong at 7:30 p. m. tonight, pugnacious boxers and amateur wrestlers will present to an enthusiastic audience the all-school smoker. Some of the battlers, wrestlers, and what have you?, are students of WWC; others are professionals. This long-awaited event is sponsored by the W club and promoted by Stan Willis. Sam Carver, intramural coach, is to be faculty sponsor. Bill Everts, a college lad from WSC, will be referee, while Dr. Cederstrom and Dr. Bond will uphold the faculty spirit as timekeepers. The Stroller Poetry A recent letter to the editor in which the author defended group action as opposed to individualistic action included this statement, "Group action is the only method that will obtain results today. Witness the growth of the national ASU, the CIO, the AFL. Even the teachers are organizing." It is granted that a group, acting with a common purpose and cooperating to the fullest extent is desirable. But before the group can be molded into a well-organized unit, some leading force must direct every faction into some established union. It demands a leader for this work—a person with force, with personality, with unusual ability. It is the leader who dictates the action of the group, and not the group that directs the leader. Look at John L. Lewis and the CIO, William Green and the AFL, and the person who instigated the national ASU. Without a leader, the masses are useless, inert guinea pigs. Without a leader, they become milling cattle, knowing not what to do, nor where to turn. Then, when all sense the need for action, along comes the Lenin', the Hitler, the Mussolini, the Lewis. And the group is fashioned after their individual manner. If the principles of the leader do not satisfy the masses, will they meet and choose another leader? They will not. Some keen-sighted person will analyze the discontent and use it for his own individual growth. Such methods may belie our revered democratic ideals, but it is a platitude, told it seems probable that teachers will organize in this manner. . o — Dear Mama THEN ITS HOME The pulsating, surf with its tremulous roar, As it beats and falls back From the staunch-standing shore, Seems to echo each heartbeat To recall when we roam Fond mem'ries of mansions— Of places called home. Home is a place to pillow one's head; A place where love overflows. Home is a spot where all hate is dead, And where everything beautiful grows. Home need not be a palace grand Or a mansion of forbidding stone. Home is a place where friendship glows, And a lover is never alone. Home is the place where the '"Welcome" mat Reflects the kindness within. There is always a smiling face Waiting for all, And a cheery voice calling you in. —F. F. F.

A near-by friend's countenance soon became contorted and painfully taxed his larnyx to utter, "That awful dirt—give me Campi Coast to Coast or Stroller any time." And so on far into the fight. The Western Viking acting advisedly, decided to settle the matter by giving out questionnaires and taking an authentic poll of the situation. Dear Mama Wins The result was practically an unanimous vote for Dear Mama. This is an original feature and seems to be as essential as the front page itself. Kathryn Hatch and Bob White are co-editors of this popular column. Second in popularity was Campi Coast to Coast This column is taken from various other collegiate papers, sometimes wholly, sometimes partially but generally completely revised. Betty Bowdish may justly take the orchids for the success of the column. Finishing third in the race was The Stroller. Forrest Hawley has done a commendable job with this original feature. The Stroller merely overhears bits of conversation here and there, catches a glimpse of some interesting episodes, adds a choice bit of refined gossip, stirs it around a bit, and gets the successful conglomerate result—The Stroller. Debris in Race Fourth in the race was the liked, the despised, and the debatable Debris. Contributions are generously given by students from the campus and about town. Because of the uncomplimentary criticism given to this column the staff has many times contemplated discontinuing it, but always it has been the students themselves that have insisted on continuing its publication. If it could be taken in the meaningless, devilish spirit in which it is written, matters would be facilitated. Closely following these articles in popularity came the linoleum cuts. Probably the most "unsung hero" about the office is the artist of all the cuts which appear in the paper, including the personality sketch each week. Jean Hatch is the gifted and well-liked artist who generously displays her talent. Practically a tie with the linoleum cuts were the editorials. Always intelligently and interestingly written these articles have been the source of many flaming discussions. Usually possessing a local theme of interest they have gained successfully in popularity both with student and faculty. Pulver Elected Head Of Valkyries Martha Lou Pulver was elected to the presidency of the Valkyrie club in place of the retiring president, Marion Haydon, whose term expires this quarter. Miss Pulver will serve for the remaining time of the school year. Plans for a cruise, a tea and other activities were discussed at this meeting.

"In the second grade we are trying to bring about an appreciation of the interrelationship of the various types of life on the earth." During the winter quarter part of the children's work dealt with soils and the different ways in which they are formed. Also included was a study of erosion and how it affects the building up of soils. Universal Idea 'Emphasized Emphasis on the earth during their study of the universe helped focus the children's attenion life on the earth. Conditions suitable for life and reasons for its existence were noted, as were the different kinds of life and their dependence upon each other. Scheduled work for the present quarter will include a study of plant life. Because a plant can manufacture its own food, while man and other animals cannot, it is evident that animal life must rely on plants for existence. This is an important concept which will be brought out in this spring's unit. In connection with this work, second graders will make gardens. In this study, various types of plants can be examined, and their growth watched. All this work will tie in with the concept and appreciation of inter-relationships. o Zylstra Will Go South For Conference She's the Top Appropriating funds to send ASB prexy Don Zylstra to Fresno, Cal., next month, making various appointments, and hearing committee reports, the Board of Control went through its weekly business meeting last Wednesday.

Other business was the appointment of Don Wilson to take charge of a Board of Control dinner for all new and old board members. The date has not been set, but it will be in the near future. Ralph Neil, Campus day chairman, gave a report of what he expected in the way of eats and publicity for Campus day. He promised several new surprise features for the day.

It is not a fa lt;3 and will not be readily cast aside." Mr. Dorsey, together with his brother Tommy, discovered young Bob Byrns, 17-year-old trombone prodigy, playing in a Detroit, Michigan, high school band two years ago. The brothers recognized the boy's talent and gave him a start with their orchestra. Upon the sep* aration of Jimmy from his brother's orchestra, young Byrns became affiliated with Jimmy's new orchestra, where he has remained ever since.

Tonight, after ayears absence, the W club will present their annual smoker. Under the direction of Stan Willis and, Bob Stuart this ancient classic of fisticuffs will be revived. Presenting a card that shows plenty of punch, the W club should be able to raise enough money to make their Varsity ball a certainty. I ought to make the W club pay for this publicity, but the dimes of Women are just as welcome as those of the men. As an added attraction to the women the Lettermen are breaking all former precedence by importing two women to match gloves in tonight's melee. Ed Tomco reports that at great expense the pride of the African jungle, King Kong Holm has been imported to battle Sweden's Blond Demon, Tory Lund. Knowing little of the strength of any of these men, just close your eyes and we will guess at the winners. Heimberger says if he can hit Evans three times, the rest of the match will be a cinch. Herb Strain is going to have his chance to get even with the cops when he tangles with Art Morse, burly speed cop. It looks like a ticket for Strain. Here's one I don't like to predict, but Boss Kluge will throw Chico's Friedman out of the ring in the first round. Is that okay, Boss? Cougar Willison has been doing a shod-ow dance with the dishes over in Edens hall all week and with that fair representative of the feminine sex behind him, Glen should be able to turn Day into night. Stan Willis, god's gift to the women, will still be good for a heavy date after his bout with M. T. Nelson. The Kennedy-Wilson affair will be only an exhibition, but I am glad I am only a spectator.

PHONE 24 Tesreau and Kidder Fighting For First Place on Team; Carver Ponders on Ladder Track Outlook Is Dark For First Meet However, Carver Optimistic as Ever; Is Trying To Mold Above-Par Squad "Woe is me," says Sam Carver, WWC golf mentor. The boys who are aspiring to positions on this year's team have turned tables on Carver. Despite bad weather conditions, the golf hopefuls proceeded to play a qualifying round last Sunday to gain their respective positions on the five-man team. Instead of Pat Jacobson qualifying first as Carver expected, he dropped to fifth leaving Phil Kidder and Jeff Tesreau to fight it out for either first or second place. Positions Undecided Bob Lindsley and Manford Chase, veterans of last year's squad gained third and fourth positions respectively. Carver is undecided as to whether to run a ladder tournament or to place the men in the positions as he sees fit. Although Tesreau has flashed up to date, shooting sub-par golf and "eagling" Lake-way's number one par five hole with a three, he might find diffi-s culty in holding down the first or second position on the squad, as he is a newcomer. Virgil Heimberger, also a new member to the squad, failed to qualify within the first five; therefore Carver thinks it only fair to stage a ladder tournament in order to give each player a fair break. Carver will take his team to Seattle, Monday, to battle the Frosh on their home links. Those players making the trip and their respective positions probably will be as follows: Kidder, Tesreau, Lindsley, Chase, and Jacobson, unless Heimberger crashes the line-up. It shoud be a tough match, acl-cording to advance reports, as one to the varsity golfers made a hole-in- one and yet failed to qualify. With the opening conference meet with Ellensburg, there, May 1, drawing closer at every rubdown, Sam Carver's hopes for an above par track squad are darker than a harlem night. When it was learned that Big George Smith, of gridiron acclaim had withdrawn from school this quarter, Carver's chances for a first place in the shot-put were blown higher than Mt. McKinley. Ed Johnston and Rex Houser added none the less to Sam's worries when the two former Whatcom high school aces were declared ineligible because they thought otherwise than the WWC professors, thus they received the sad news during spring vacation. However, Carver is as optimistic as ever. He has decided to come out from behind the eight ball and do his best to replace the overhanging black clouds with a bright and shining sun. Many are of the belief that by the time Old Sol has risen and set twenty-two more times, the Wildcats will be in for an exciting afternoon, and that by the time the season is well underway local fans will leave their places by the hot stove and peer upon the 1937 Western College track squad.

NON CAMPUS MENTIS The Day's the thing. Ever been to a Dutch picnic Lotsa fun, eh. Well, this year's Campus Day will be better than approximately three Dutch picnics. You won't be able to lose that longing (for it). Why should you? Ever been to a circus? So has the Campus Day committee and they, with unrestrained zeal, have cut loose and planned something equivalent to a nine-ringed Barnum Bailey fantasy. Plenty engaging. Now all you have to do is keep, yourself tuned to a frantic pitch of enthusiasm and expectancy, and await further developments of this mighty organization. For further details see the STROLX.ER.

SHADOW vs. CRIME While passing through a small Nebraska town, a transport chauffeur for a van of new Detroit cars coastward bound, found himself mixed up in an entanglement that inspired the following telegram sent to his home office: "Saw shadow. Hit shadow. Wasn't shadow. Was mift truck. Wire $50 immediately." His shadow boxing episode evidently was very convincing, as well as dramatic, for he got the $50.

Battles Gale; Is Loser Two Killed, Two Injured; Ship Proceeds to Seattle For Repairs; Deckload Lost Motion Against Them Goes Two to One; For Fourth Year Degree Only Caps and gowns will be worn only by students receiving the fourth year degree, it was learned yesterday in an interview with President C. H. Fisher. President Fisher stated that there had been a majority and a minority opinion among the students concerning this matter, and that a committee representing each group had come to see him. The majority group was represented by Robert Barn-hart who stated that about eighty per cent of the students in attendance at the junior-senior class meeting were in favor of wearing caps and gowns by all third and fourth year graduation students. Minority Group Against The minority group, represented by Beverly Holiday and five others, felt that caps and gowns should signify graduation from a four-year college course. They claimed that caps and gowns meant an additional expense and not a saving. They were in favor of having the colorful procession that we have had in past years. They also believed that it would set a bad example for the future. Last Tuesday, in faculty meeting, the arguments of both these groups, for and against, were presented to the faculty by President Fisher. There was plenty of opportunity given for a lively discussion and then a vote was taken on the motion stated as follows: "Caps and gowns will be worn only by students re ceiving the degree." The resulting vote was easily two to one, twice as many for the motion as against. Prexy Comments on Results In commenting on the results _. President Fisher said, "Although I j | ^ \ $ S e i T l D l i eS the faculty did not sustain the de-j sire of the majojrity of the students, inasmuch as this is a matter of school policy it must be decided upon by the faculty or the adminstra-tion." A juniors-Seniors Debate Graduation Garb Caught in a lashing sou-easter 250 miles off barren Cape Flattery, the Pacific American Fisheries freighter the Mary D suffered undetermined external injuries yesterday and had two of its crew killed, two injured The ship had been hove to waiting for the heavy seas to calm somewhat before continuing on its journey around Vancouver Island to Alitak, Bristol Bay, and Cordova, Alaska. The two men, Peter H. Johnson, of Bellingham, and John Moore, of Seattle, were crushed between winches when struck unexpectedly by a boarding sea. The other two injured men, Theodore Porter, of this city, and Oscar Johnson of Seattle were more fortunate, escaping comparatively undamaged. , ^ The entire deckload of 3000 piles was swept away, stated the master, Captain Emil Jackson, in a wireless message yesterday afternoon. The vessel proceded to Seattle immediately and is due to remain in that port until repaired, when it will return to Bellingham, possibly a week from now. This is the second recent accident to Bellingham's merchant marine, the tug Iroquins colliding with its convoy, the barge Commodore, in Seymour Narrows on the Alaska route, without loss of life, however. The Mary D was not carrying any cannery crews at the time of its disaster, merely having maintenance equipment on board. o Dr. Raiguel To Talk Glass Day Talked Lucconlini Elected To Investigate Memoir For School Present Graduates To Get Fashions and Tea Frosh, Sophs to Give Women Treat Thursday; Blue Room Scene of Show Rise of Labor Unions Subject of Talk; Upshall Next Leader The rise of the labor unions was discussed by Mr. Hunt before a small group -of students at the faculty chat in the Blue room last Wednesday evening. The social science instructor took the group back to the beginning of the labor unions to begin his talk. From there he traced the growth of organized labor up to the present time. With various members of the group doing much of the talking, the CIO split with the AFL was discussed in detail. The increasing influence of the local unions in community affairs was brought to the attention of those present. It was the general feeling of the group that with the support of the unions Lewis may be a well backed candidate in the next presidential election. Dr. Upshall is the faculty member scheduled to lead the Wednesday evening chat next week. — o- Alkisiah Club Propose Boat Trip Graduating juniors and seniors met in an assembly Monday at 11 o'clock to discuss some of their graduation problems. They decided, by a very large majority, to go on record as being in favor of wearing caps and gowns at the graduation exercises. A suggested program for class day was presented by Florence Lund, chairman of the class day program. ' The caps and gowns will be black for the degree students while the three-year diploma student would wear navy blue. Bob Barnhart reported that the garbs could be handled through the student Co-op and would cost each student $2. This cost will cover both commencement and baccalaureate. The final decision on the caps and gowns for the three-year graduates rests with the faculty committee. The degree students always wear the black ensemble, A program in the form of a court scene, in which the years of activity of the class and its members will be reviewed, was suggested in the report by Lund. The final decision of the program will be in the hands of a committee, which will consist of representatives from all the organized houses on the campus. Mary Lucconlini was elected chairman of a committee, of which she is to choose her own members, to investigate the possibilities of a memoir to be given to the school by the class of 1937. o— Committee Helpers Appointed For Campus Day VanderGriend, White Win Posts After deciding to have the annual boat trip, the Alkisiah club appointed Betty Bowdish as chairman of the committee to investigate and secure information concerning boats and prices. Mexico was the main topic of discussion at the regular meeting which was postponed until Tuesday evening because of the Civic Music Association concert. The program consisted of two Mexican songs by Imogene Peterson; a talk on the people of Mexico given by Sara McDonald; and an exhibition of pictures, murals weavr ings and pottery of Mexico, given by Louise Lammers. Dr. George Earle Raiguel, an authority on national and international affairs, will present three assemblies next week. He will give his views of present conditions and economic outlooks in special assemblies on Monday. In the regular assembly Tuesday he will also speak. Having just returned from Europe, where he inquired into the trend of affairs, he is prepared to give an adequate discussion on the major movements abroad. During his trip he visited Soviet Russia, his fourth visit to Russia and Siberia. Dr. Raiguel is considered an authority on that country and "This is Russia" of which he is co-author with William K. Huff has received wide and favorable comment. He does not look upon the situation today as one in which a hopeless condition of affairs exists but as the beginning of a new era all over the world. Dr. Raiguel bases his lectures upon information from world-wide travel, investigation, and study. He takes pride in the fact that his discussions are unbiased. Believing that cultured people desire the truth about affairs, no matter how unpleasant, he presents ---------- Western Viking - 1937 April 16 - Page 2 ---------- • gt; • WESTERN W^HINGTONGOl^EGK Friday; April 1^1957 Western Viking Established 1899 Published every Friday except during the months of August and September by the Associated Students/Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham.

First, 8 0 per cent of the Junior-Seniors rises up and says, "Caps and gowns". The conspicuous minority self-consciously, but determinedly, rises to the occasion and says, " N o / ' The faculty rises in protest and votes the innovation down. And there it rests. The faculty insists they are open-minded about the affair and will reconsider their decision if the reasons are justified. According to the protest registered in today's Forum, the subject is apparently still debatable.

By Green In History class the other day, we think that MISS BEVER rather cleverly expressed it in commenting on the fact that all wars seem to start in the spring "when the SAP begins to rise" Sitting on the library steps one very windy morning recently, while patiently awaiting the opening-up (why, oh, why can't the library open at eight? We have heard these pleas from all sides lately), we were very impressed by the somewhat melodic competition caused by the crooning of the wind in the library doors and the howling in the trees on the campus. This is what came out of it. A windy daze harmony, we guess: MARCH MELODY Winds sweep crazily through the trees, Crashing crescendo of a March breeze; Lashing the sea and whipping my face, Cutting the whitecaps into patterns of lace; Whirling the smoke into blue wisps of clouds, Making wires scream and cry out aim Bending the daffodils flat down to .earth, Snatching at green buds with relentless mirth; Nothing so cruel or so sweet as March gales, With their fervor and freshness and sighing and wails. From the plans of the hardworking chairmen and their committee members, it looks like the CROWNING event of this week's activities will be the BUCK' INCH AM HOP (or Coronation Ball) at the Leopold Saturday night. Watching the schooner Vigilant poll out this week, her five masts silhouetted against the evening sky, made us fairly itch to throw our Beards and Barnes in the bay and sail away on her to Hono lt; lulu.

I was covering it for a Chicago paper. I received my education at Chicago. University," answered John Boettiger, recently appointed publisher of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, in a personal interview following the Chamber of Commerce luncheon, held in honor of Mr. and Mrs. John Boettiger, Wednesday in the Crystal ballroom of the Leopold hotel. In reply to the question, "Are reporters made or born?" he said, "Oh, that's .easy," and smiled, but he hesitated before answering: "There's no doubt. They're born." Boettiger, who was a reporter for fifteen years, responded with a directness which was concise, but not curt. Newspaperman Nicknamed 'Headliner' by Griff in Dressed in a dark gray suit, "this headliner," as Earl Griffin, chairman of the luncheon styled him, is tall, well built, and broad-shouldered. His profile is good, his eyes dark, his hair dark tinged with gray, his skin tanned and clean-shaven, his smile winning, and his expression pleasant. He had a deep voice and spoke without any noticeable accent. Boettiger referred to his wife as "Anna," and included her in all his activities. The speaker said that he and his wife, with their children, came to the Northwest to work and live. They plan to make Seattle their home. Boettiger Expects P-I Labor Troubles To Continue In reference to his own labor problems, Boettiger is certain he will always have trouble to a certain extent. He believes that any man or company who deals with a large group of employees is bound to have some difficulties because of the large number of personalities, desires, and ambitions 4 wolved in that business relationship. In his ideal set-up neither labor nor capital would dominate business. Instead the leadership of both groups would be equal. Anna Boettiger, Roosevelt's Daughter, Charming Anna Boettiger, daughter of President Roosevelt and the former Mrs. Dall is charming. No other word will express it. She is characteristically tall and slender; she has a delicate skin, a very attractive smile, and beautiful teeth. Her eyes are blue and her hair a lovely ash blonde. The young Mrs. Boettiger wore a dark green-blue semi-tailored dress of soft wool, with a corsage of white gardenias. Her soft straw off-the-face hat was black. Mrs. Boettiger was quite at ease during the luncheon and thoroughly enjoyed herself, her company, and her cigarette. Publisher's Wife Associate Editor of P-I Mrs. Boettiger, who is associate editor of the P-I, speaks with a decided Eastern accent. In her delightfully informal speech, she emphasized how much she enjoys the Northwest, and mentioned that her mother, Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, is planning to visit them at the end of this next month. Mrs. Boettiger stated that she hopes to encourage more of the Roosevelts to vacation here in the Northwest. Mapl^ Campus School Glasses Started in Fair Quarter; Will Be Finished At the End of This Year By Arthur C. Hicks Jose Echaniz, pianist, came, played and conquered Monday night in the Western Washington college auditorium under the auspices of the Civic Music Association. This, the fourth concert of the association's season, was a brilliant climax for those who joined the association last September... . . . . The most obvious quality of the pianist's art was a coruscating brilliance of rhythm and execution. But this surface was amply underpinned by firm and sensitive musical conception and enhanced by many graceful, poetic and imaginative touches. Whatever he played came alive with its own special vitality. There were no arid stretches in the program; the instrument breathed enchantment from first to last. The program followed the usual historical pattern. An imposing beginning was the Tausig arrangement of the Bach organ Toccata and Fugue in D minor with its inexorable steadiness of rhythm and its sweep and sonority. Beethoven in sTwarmly lyric mood was represented by the Andante Favorie . . . The most pianistic of all composers, Chopin, had an important place on the program. The ever-charming Ballade in A flat with its two lovely tunes—one yearning and the other seductive—and its powerfully constructed climax, was interpreted with a fine plastic imagination . . . . . . Debussy with his dainty and humorous pieces from the Children's Corner—Serenade for the Doll and Golliwog's Cakewalk—was deftly interpreted . . . Au Bord d'une Source flowed, bubbled, gurgled, and glistened under the spell of the artist's delicately fleet fingers. The Polonaise in E major, a work cast on large and noble lines, had dignity, sweep, tragic passion, and brilliancy of all grades and varieties. It was a fitting conclusion to the program which ended as it began—in the grand style. To the enthusiastic applause of his audience, Mr. Echaniz responded generously with encores. . . Different from the usual line of work, but interesting to both pupils and teachers, is the picture map being made by the fifth grade of the Campus Elementary school. Work was started on the map, which comprises the entire United States, early in the fall quarter, and will probably be continued all of this quarter. "Interest shown in the map serves to bring other factors to the attention of the children," says Miss Evelyn Odom, fifth grade instructor. "These include topography of the land, its climate, the people who settled there, and why they chose that section." Work was begun on the map when the children started finding out where their parents and grandparents originally came from, a topic which is fascinating to anyone. It was discovered by the fifth graders that nearly every country in Europe was represented, as were many of the states in this country. This naturally led to the question of where these people settled first, and where they went next. The reason for their going to the new country was also brought up, and how new land was obtained for the United States. Emphasis was laid on modes of travel, and how mountain barriers were traversed. Shown on the map in color are topograpical characteristics, types of shelter needed, kinds of people and animal life, and products of that particular section.

BELLINGHAM By Frances Pelegren "Hedda Gabler," one of Ibsen's outstanding plays, .opened a four-day showing Wednesday night at the Bellingham Theater Guild playhouse, under the direction of Norman Burchette, well-known guild producer. The curtain is scheduled to rise at 8:15 o'clock each night. Virginia George, who portrays the leading role, that of the fastidious mannered and proud Hedda, brought out those qualities of characterization that the author intended. Her intelligent acting of the part showed the woman's subtle portrayal of evil. Hedda's motives are in part determined by the nature of her husband, George Tesman, futile scholar, a dull soul who drives Hedda to boredom. Ray Chamberlain takes this role. Mr. Burchette takes the part of Judge Brack, the sophisticated man of mature years who seeks to become the "third" in the life of the heroine. Robert White, Viking reporter, has been cast to interpret the impulsive temperament brought to ruin by Hedda, and builds up this character very well. Katharine Bowden takes the part of Mrs.'Elv-stad, sympathetically and intelligently. Marjorie Brighouse in the role of Miss Juliana Tesman. George's She's a blue-eyed lassie with light brown hair, and a pleasant smile and cheerful disposition—and a lover of water sports. This WWC sophomore plans to teach "just a couple of years," then the young lady wants to go East to a music conservatory. Ah, yes, she is a famous musician, excelling in the same art as Dr. Hicks. Just recently this week's personality won not only the district, but the state amateur pianists' contest, and the right to represent this tate at the national meet. (She's not going because she lacks a year, chronologically speaking, to qualify.) Although she practices the piano two hours a day, she also is an active member of the Women's league, where she has served as chairman of the standards committee on the Women's League commission and has charge of those "delightfully refreshing" weekly teas. As a member of the WAA, she directs the affairs of the initiation committee. She not only is a busy lady, she is a smart student, for the maintains a grade average of 3.2 and works in the research bureau as well, a task of no mean ability.

He stated that Clara VanderGriend and Bob White had both obtained a majority of the votes cast for their respective candidacies, thus being officially elected. No second election will be necessary. A motion was carried to have the numerical results of the vote withheld in all releases for publication. Discussion of the spring apportionment of student funds followed and the president stated that these figures will be ready for approval at the next board meeting. o THE UPWARD LIFT!

While not playing with the Viking Manor team, Kluge put in his spare time with the Y Crescents, who won the City B league crown. Picked along with the Viking editor on the all-city team was James Bever, son of the late Dean Bever. This is not a paid advertisement. CAN WASHINGTON REPEAT? Tomorrow the annual regatta between the University of Washington and California gets under way again on the Oakland Estuary. Though boating the same crew that won the World's championship last year, adverse weather conditions have kept the Huskies under wraps. Ulbrickson is pessimistic and says the men are out of condition and lack spirit. "We have great handicaps with rowing here at Washington," says the Husky mentor. "I cannot understand how we ever won a boat race nor can I see how we will ever win another—but we probably will" Take this any way you like, but my shekels are on Washington for the Varsity and the Jayvee. The loss of Tom Dolles puts my money on the California freshmen. WALDO SERIES With the Seattle Indians booming along in the Pacific coast conference and the Bellingham Boosters ready to open the season against the Bremerton Cruisers, baseball is on the tip of everyone's tongue. The famous American sport is taboo on our campus this year, but the annual Campus Day Waldo field series between the faculty and the students is still on tap. Watch this column for further notice of the Campus Day battle. hinges around a very frugal handful of veterans: Phair, Holder, Taylor, Van Over, and possibly Arne John-sen. With the aid. of newcomer Wayne Weber, last year state high school ribbon winner, Phair and Holder should nicely take care of the broad jump, high hurdles, and high jump departments. Bill Taylor's superb mile performance and Red Van Over's previously tested ability in the javelin and shot put assignments make the. Norse formidable in these events. Hurley Boggess, a holdover from last year, will team up with Van Over in the spear throwing. New Men Show Promise The other events are left for the unknown yearlings and second stringers of last year to scrap over, Promise of strength in the discus and high jump is given by Harold Nelson, of basketball fame, when he climbed over the five-foot, six-inch bar and whistled the metal disc over 120 feet. The sprints, if vacated by Arne Johnson, will be nailed down by "Butch" Krueger and Danny "Atlas" Gagnon. Both have been clipping off the half century distance in great style. Dick Hudson's experience from last year is making him a likely contender against the former two. The Barton's Beanery lads are out cheering their promising candidate, "Parson" Millholland, who sparks ability in legging the two-mile. o Golfers To Have Busy Week Beautiful Corsages For the Informal I. V. WILSON, Florist 1330 Cornwall Phone 288 Whatever the annual battles for the Tri-Washington Colleges of Education lack in glamor and keen competition will be neutralized this spring by a kindly gentleman, who has set the spark of rivalry high. Mr. Carson, manager of the Weisfield Goldberg, local jewelry store, has supplied the stimulus to the golf world by announcing that he will reward this year's champions with a beautiful trophy. The trophy .Car son says is not to be an Indian gift, but one that is to be permanently kept. According to the Vikings Pat Ja-cobson, three year letter winner in the sport, such a handsome trophy would be accepted with open arms, for good golf trophies at the Western Washington College of Education are as scarce as pink elephants on the walls of a WCTU room. With virtually the same squad back as in 193fe, which includes Phil Kidder, Pat Jacobson, Bob Lindsley, Homer Morris, and Manford Chase, plus the services of the famed Jeff Tesreau, and or the youthful Virgil Heimberger, former city high school flash, the Norsemen stand an even chance of bringing this valuable bit of silver. o W Club Smoker Proves Success Tennis Team Play Match Today Weather Holds Up Practice; Ladden-Not Played; CPS Racketeers Here Because of inclement weather, none of the matches on the tennis ladder have been played. In spite of this WWC and CPS will play a scheduled match this afternoon at 1:45 on the tennis courts. The match is non-conference and one of the toughest assignments the Vikings will have this year. Chet Orloff, Walt Skinner, Bill Weeks, Dick Fowler, and Forest Hawley are the five racketeers who will face the Tacoma all-stars. Although these five will play today they may not be on the varsity squad as many of the players lower on the ladder, have not had the opportunity to show their wares. High School To Play Bellingham High school's tennis team will play a practice game with WWC either Monday or Tuesday of next week. As the high school has one of the strongest teams in its history this match is expected to be an extremely interesting affair. Coach Lappenbusch, tennis mentor, said, "the tennis ladder should be played off by next week if the good weather keeps up." There ~T ruman Kenned.ay , sseeeenmi s two be no let-upv in the rainy home The Kings of Swing, better known to us as golfers, will have the opportunity of upholding the honor of WWC in two matches to be held the coming week. The first battle will occur Thursday, April 22, when the college boys travel across the border to play the divot-diggers from the University of British Columbia. The following day, Friday, April 23, the boys will battle theclub wielders from Pacific Lutheran college. The line-up for the coming matches will be picked from the following six men: Phil Kidder, Jeff Tesreau, Manford Chase, Bob Lindsley, Pat Jacobsen, and Virgil Heimberger. Phil Kidder is leading the pack at present as the No. 1 man, with Pat Jacobsen in the No. 5 position. Virgil Heimberger, the ex- Whatcom flash, is tailing the pack and, unless he pulls some super-par tricks out of the bag, he will remain thus, for all the boys are playing a heads-up game to hold their position on the squad. Headlined by professional boxer, the W club held its annual smokeless smoker last Friday evening in the little gym before some two hundred fight fans. The club was well pleased with the bouts, all athletes making a good showing for themselves by mixing it up instead of loafing on the job. "This should insure another smoker for next year," says Ed Tomco. Kennedy-Wilson Top The Kennedy-Wilson exhibition was tops for action and real fighting, both boys pounding hard and fast. Although Wilson was at a dis tinct disadvantage against the for mer WWC student, who now head lines cards in Vancouver. B. C, he proved himself equal to the occasion by wading in for his share of the punches. Long left jabs by Johnnie Valen-ta kept Glen Willison in hot water during their scrap, but the latter managed to keep up steady punch ing to win a draw. In the featherweight division, Virgil Heimberger and Woody Evans boxed to a fast no-decision. M. T. Nelson and Stan Willis had the crowd in an uproar, but it finished with no one victor. The Jim Miller-Mac Stone bout was featured by the only casualty of the, season at Bellingham and this sit uation has caused the coach no end of worry. —o Boosters To Field Strong Team SPRING We Have White Shoes For DRESS and PLAY AT SEARS We Still Have the Best Ice Cream INTX)WN MARDWICK'S 1334 Cornwall Ave. PhwT'No Fielding one of the strongest ag gregations in several seasons, the Bellingham Boosters will meet the Bremerton Cruisers in the Northwest league opener at Battersby field Saturday night, April 24. A definite starting lineup has not been selected, but manager Ralph Wilkie will field a strong nine from the following players who have signed with Bellingham. The pitching choice will lie between Elmer Bray and Lefty Ise-kite, holdovers from last season, and Felix Penso, who performed for the Bremerton club last season. Ise-kite will probably get the call, with Padovan doing the receiving. Ty Hofeditz is the likely choice for first base, while at second, Dave Barberis, former Seattle Indian and Bremerton player-manager of last year, will perform. The third base position is still open, with Joe Cara Lindsley Low Medalist Team Plays in Rainstorm; Jacobson Has Brother for Caddie; Vancouver Next WithTheWM Consistent golfing brought the WWC squad through again, as they eked out a narrow win over the University of Washington frosh in Seattle last Monday. The golfers played in a steady downpour of rain, making scoring difficult because of slippery club handles and soggy greens. The best scores of the day were shot by Saddler, of the University, recording 76 strokes and Lindsley, of WWC, counting 78. "Rules are rules," says Pat Jacob-son, and because of his firm convictions saved the" day for WWC. An out-of-bounds ruling on the University course accounted, for a sti'oke which was the deciding stroke of the match. Upon inquiring of the course professional, Jacobson learned of the penalty that should be imposed upon his opponent, thereby winning the match. Tesreau Slips Jeff Tesreau, record-breaking hard hitter from WWC, sprung a surprise in that he ran into a few difficulties, causing him to drop 2% points to his opponent from the University. Phil Kidder has been a little erratic so far this season, taking only two points in two matches. Manford Chase, the team's stylist, PPPPP

Here 'tis: CAMPUS DAY IS POSTPONED TILL MAY 19, thereby giving ol' rain-in-the-face Jupe something to think about, wondering when he ca» spoil the WWC Campus day. KIDS WILL BE KIDS Exhibiting a precocity usually found in story book Americana, a group of New Jersey grade scholars, prodigies all, betook themselves one day to create a measles epidemic corresponding to one in a neighboring community. Envious of the liberated ones, they secured sister's lipstick, effected an illusion of measles on their faces and sent a victim in to test the teacher's gullibility. Twas too measly, however, for the teacher found out the ruse by employing a little cold cream and observing a spontaneous flush enflame the culprit's speckled countenance. (The speckled band didn't get their vacation.) Kids will be goats. . . DONT GET FRESH—MEN They sing of poets, sages rare, Let them sing for We don t care; Movie stars they praise and laud.

S« think some UW men about their freshmen. Note the inclusion of the freshmen crew, a true example of the old Alma Mater spirit. It's too bad the freshmen gals are so stern. It must hinder progress a little. CENSORING SINS Journalistic license returned to Munich, Germany, long enough for the following, satire on Little Red Riding Hood (Nazi version) to appear in one of the city's newspapers. A free translation, this excerpt comes via the "Living Age": . . . "The Chief Forester heard the wolf snoring and said to himself, "How can an Aryan grandmother snore in such a non-Aryan manner?" Investigating, he found and shot the wolf, although he didn't have a license for wolf-hunting; then he cut him open, rescued Little Red Riding Hood and her grandmother. . . For this he' gained the privilege of wearing a nice gold wolf on his uniform s h i r t . . ..On the oth er hand, the wolf went to the Royal Academy of Nutrition, (Miss) Hood became a sub-leader in the German Girls, and the grandmother was sent to the "Short-way-to-Joy" home for her pains:" What happened to the writers of the parody after the censorship was turned on isn't known. They prob ably got their ears pruned and sent to the Nutrition academy. Mechanics Investigate Infernal Machine! "Interesting work is being done by? t h e boys of the eighth grade in the Training school," announces Mr. Herbert Ruckmick, industrial arts instructor. The old Essex in the auto mechanics room is having ah overhaul and a small boat is being constructed. W Club Sponsors Vodvil On Campus Day Eve; Spring Dance Next Friday No Corsages For Hop "Pangs of False Loye" and "Shooting of Dan McGrew" Two Features of Vodvil By Jack Carver When a bunch of panting behemoths get together, ghat's something. And when the W club of WWC get together, well, what's the difference? AND when the clubbers plan a big night, it's plenty big. Their night will be in the form of a vodvil to be given on Campus day eve, Tuesday, May 18. "Pangs of False Love," a pantomime starring Stan Willis, and supported by the strong arms of footballers, Ernie Dzufick and Fred Krueger, will be one of the features. Now, everyone knows that Willis is a lady killer of the first rank. Well, the worm turns this time and the way the 1. k. is vamped into submission only to be let down, is something that should have both the paying and non-paying customers rolling in the aisles. Dan McGrew Gets Shot The second of the two headline attractions is the Barton special, "The Shooting of Dan McGrew." Imagine, if you can, windstorm Don Holder as Lou, the object of the affections of Arne Johnson, who plays Dan. Russ Davis will be the fat barkeeper and Harold Nelson, fresh from the creeks, is scheduled to make his debut as the old prospector. But that is only the beginning. Daniels hall will put on a skit with hot-stepper Phair and John Fox in the lead. And the final play is an original surprise skit in the form of a burlesque featuring Hurley Bog-gess, Fritz Chox^fat, and Ed Tomco. Between acts a so-called men's quartet, Kenny Johnson, Clyde Reis, Chet Ullin, and John (Harmonica) Krieg, will cavort in front of the oncoming eggs and tomatoes. Chet Dombroski is slated to do the ad libbing and mcing. No Corsages On Friday, April 30, the athletes will have their spring informal at the Chuckanut Shell, with the Revellers in the orchestra pit. . "We plan on saving the boys money when we emphasize that there will be no corsages at the informal,". states Tomco, club prexy and chairman of the affair. Ol' Man Mooh has agreed to be in full glow that evening to keep the hearts throbbing (you do the rest); thus the club is planning a transportation committee, consisting of Bob Lindsley, Ervin Holtzheimer, and Tomco. They hope to find ways for each couple to get to the Shell. Literary Club Reviews Utopias By Bellamy, More, Howell With Utopias as the subject of discussion, the Vanadis Bragi club met in the club room of Edens hall Monday evening. "Utopia," by Sir Thomas More, was reviewed by Frances Daley. More, an English nobleman, was finally beheaded by Henry the Eighth because he defended the Roman Catholic church. His book is so important that the word "Utopia" is still used to denote an ideal state. Margaret Bertrand reported on W. D. Howell's "The Traveler from Altruria." This is almost a continuation of More's "Utopia" by a man who can be considered a disciple of More. Edward Bellamy's "Looking Backward" was reviewed by Warren Toms. This book is more modern and detailed than the other two. It has a decided Socialistic trend. The next meeting will be devoted to Eighteenth century comedy. o Postponed Because of inclement weather, Campus day has been postponed until Wednesday, May 19. Bud Neil, head of the affair, conferred with4 President Fisher and announced his decision to postpone the outing until later in the month. The two week's delay is expected to give the weather man a better chance to get in the mood for some sunshine. Smell Story * * * * * Don't Miss It Business might be bad, but not that bad! The goings-on in the Viking Office, as it is sometimes called, are not as rotten as people would think as they smell the awful odor that permeates the otherwise wholesome atmosphere of the north end of the second floor hall. When the smell first came it was hoped it was only a temporary curse, but now it (the odor) is recognized as a permanent visitation upon the public. Then, as it was slowly disappearing it was revived, and now you are to be let in on the Secret of the Smell. The Inquiring reporter with his Nose for News traced the odor to the in-v verted snoose boxes in the bird cases. The stuffies in the glass houses have not been re-embalmed but their habitats were fumigated, and a new supply of carbon disulfide was installed. Board Apportions Quarterly Funds Buchanan Offers Services To Handle Gate Receipts; New. Uniforms Wanted Passing on the administration's apportionment of spring quarter activity funds was the main business conducted by the Board of Control, last Wednesday. After a short discussion, the budget was accepted. In answer to his requested inquiry D. G. Bushell was advised to further investigate the proposed purchase of band uniforms; As a result of the Board's verdict he will immediately secure prices of the desired articles. The problem of handling the gate receipts at future school athletic contests was discussed. Mr. Sam Buchanan of the Business office had notified the board that he would take over the job at his own salary figure. The opinion of the board was that such an arrangement would be desirable. The meeting completed its busi ness by appropriating funds for the purchase of necessary office equipment. Kibbe On Vacation Vacationing in the Grays Harbor region, L. A. Kibbe, education instructor of WWC, and his wife have been enjoying themselves immensely, according to" a report re gt; ceived today. Mr. Kibbe will be back at the col lege for the summer quarter. Summer Session Features 5hangle,Raup Superintendent Offers New- Course; Lecturer From Canada Coming "From the plans we have made for courses and assembly programs, our summer session promises to be a very fine one," stated President C. H. Fisher in a recent interview. "Two outstanding features will be," he continued, "a new course in teaching technique, and the lecture of Professor Bruce Raup of Teachers college, Columbia University." President Fisher stated that due to the -"unusual interest in curriculum problems over the state, arrangements have ben made to provide a special course (T.T.170) in the problems of curriculum improvements. It was learned that T.T.170, Problems in Curriculum Improvement, three credits, will consist of a symposium conducted by Superintendent C. P. Shangle of the Bel-lingham city schools and chairman of the state commission on curriculum improvement. Training Staff Assists Members of the staff of the training department and others to be named later will assist Mr. Shangle. Curriculum problems in the elementary and junior-high school fields will be discussed. Permission to register for this course will be granted i only by the Director of the Training school. In commenting on the special lecture to be given by Professor Raup, at the summer session, President C. H. Fisher said, "We will be very fortunate in having Professor Raup, a young man who has achieved a great deal of prominence in the field of philosophy of education, lecture to us, for he is a stimulating and able speaker." o Washington Cadets Feature Frosh Party At last! An entirely new and different rec hour. Under the chairmanship of Herb Strain, the "Frosh Fling" will be given in the Big gym, Saturday night from 8:30 to 11:30 o'clock. Girls! Please note! Forty cadets are to be sent up from the University of Washington to decrease our sadly neglected ferninine population. '(Aren't you ashamed, boys?) And that isn't all. There is going to be a professional floor show. Music will be furnished by Mel McKee and his orchestra. The decorative theme, in due honor to the cadets, will be nautical.

HARRY KLUGE ..Editor LLOYD NELSON Business Manager Sybil Hinchliffe .News Editor Clarence Soukup Sports Editor Dick Fowler ... .Feature Editor Warren Toms Advertising Manager Helen Hostetter Society Editor Jean Hatch f...Art Editor Rex Rolle Copy Editor Radio vs. The Newspaper A well-supported opinion that the radio is gradually but definitely replacing the newspaper as a distributor of news has been expounded by many leading authorities. This view seems somewhat exaggerated. True, radio authorities are not the only persons to comprehend this possibility. Newspaper publishers have long recognized the fact that the radio was a competition menace, and have adroitly taken steps to forestall this condition. And now many stations are owned by newspapers and operated in conjunction with the daily paper. Short, concise reports are given on current news with the advice that the paper be read for further details. Thus they arouse the curiosity of the news-hungry public, and the publishers cleverly evade disastrous competition- But printing news is only one of many duties commonly expected of the daily paper. Constant association has schooled the public into expecting many features impossible to reproduce over the radio. Editorial comment, pictures, comics, advertising— and many others are in an impenetrable field that must be conceded to the newspaper. There is nothing intangible about the daily paper. No conjured imagination is called upon. There is no chance for misunderstanding. There is little limitation on time so that news evaluation must suffer. The two professions can never converge beyond a certain degree. There are distinct fields into which neither can encroach. The corrected statement should be, "The radio can never replace the newspaper." The cheeriest note of the week is the sign on the faculty bulletin board—"The April payroll is ready for signatures." o Well, we can hope for a little sunshine now; Campus day has been postponed. Definition for "less than nothing": The amount of work a WPA'er does when he's on strike. and Women The ladies of today, we say, from tyranny are free. The "weaker" sex assert themselves in ways that men forsee will take from them eventually their past supremacy. In bygone days the woman's place, 'tis said was in the home, but now poor Hubby minds the fire, to let the Mrs. roam. She leaves him . at the mercy of a* pan of sudsy foam. This sudden trend can't comprehend of men's degeneration. From mighty masters of all things to sad emasculation. Who flies the ocean?—not a man—a woman makes the trip. And says when she descends, to throngs: "Delightful little trip." Who totters thrones, and chills the bones of famous politicians? Why, Simpson, sure, made quite a stir, disturbing statisticians. Into professions, with seemed obsessions, the ferns with fervor. Yeah, e'en in F. D.'s cabinet a petticoat heads the show! Society again will be composed of matriarchy, as days of yore, from Stone Age lore—minus patriarchy. Spite of male flops, they are the tops in one realm where the women relinquish all rights to the men and let them take a trimmin*. The rise of women is seen in many ways—But coining down to earth again, it's still Pa-pa who pays! Ship Ahoy! All you landlubbers board the Waverly Westerly and load it to the scuppers (the limit, to you) for the Frosh party, Saturday night, April 24 in the Big Gym. Girls, I hear tell the Frosh have as their guests forty NAVAL RESERVE OFFICERS from'the University of Washington. Of course the men can come, too. Movie Review MT. BAKER SIMONE SIMON, the double-named star with the baby face, comes to town with JAMES STEWART, the lanky lovable star of "Born to Dance," in that great reprint of the famous vehicle which put Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell on tops, "SEVENTH HEAVEN." Simon ditto and Stewart make the story which thrilled the nation in it's silent version come to life so smoothly that one has a hard time to convince oneself that it is not real. This super attraction, which starts at the MT. BAKER theater Saturday and plays until Tuesday, is teamed up with another of Arthur Treacher's enthusiastic portrayals in the role of P. G. Wodehouse's famous character, "Jeeves," "SEVENTH HEAVEN" and "STEP LIVELY, JEEVES". o AMERICAN A wild, hilarious adventure of two rival reporters, one beautiful heiress and a dastardly spy ring is the sum total of the film "LOVE ON THE RUN," which opens at the AMERICAN theater today and will be the main attraction at that showhouse until Monday. The two reporters, Clark Gable and Franchot Tone, literally cut one another's throats time and time again on a wild chase across the face of Europe with the beautiful heiress, Joan Crawford, the object of their rival news stories. Reginald Owen is superb as the professional spy who is after the plans which the proud beauty chanced to get her hooks into. It's swell entertainment. The other film at the American is "BORDERLAND," with William (Bill) Boyd as that real he-man, "Hopalong Cassidy." LOVE ON THE RUN" and BORDERLAND' o GRAND Columbia, that little independent producing unit which contributed that money-making success "It Happened One Night," comes back with another winner in the most talked-of picture of 1937, "LOST HORIZON." As this picture is playing on a road show schedule it will be here for only two days, Tuesday and Wednesday. Special prices will prevail. The prices: 50 and 75 cents at the matinee; and 50, 75, and $1.00 at the evening performance. This show-promises to be one of the best features that has ever been presented in this town. "LOST HORIZON" 0 Forum Wearing of caps and gowns should certainly inspire poise in the graduating'dass; whether it would be professional poise or not I do not know. Try walking gracefully across the stage in a cap and gown and you will find it to require more poise than most of us possess. Franny Mueller looked distinguished, but picture, if you will, some one short wearing that costume. Aside from the above more or less trivial objection, we have the more serious one of the purpose of caps and gowns. Absolutely no other classical college allows its juniors to wear caps and gowns. It simply isn't done. We needn't take our newly acquired dignity too seriously, but it would seem to me that, in the most outstanding formalities at least, we would do well to follow tradition. And after all, what is the point to a cap and gown? Certainly it does not add to the charm of most of us. If it loses it's significance, as it surely must if we allow anyone to wear one who chooses, then it has become entirely without purpose and may as well be discarded.

Residence in Far East By a special appointment of the Japanese government, Mr. Lory lectured, for three years at the Hokkaido Imperial university, where he was formerly a member of the faculty. During these years he traveled extensively throughout the country studying at first hand the people, problems, and politics. He has had hazardous experiences in Chinese revolutions. Knows Outstanding- Leaders In Manchoukuo Mr. Lory was granted the rare privilege \of a private audience with Emperor Kang Te. As a guest in the homes of political leaders in the Far East, he has discussed informally with Admiral Osumi, minister of the navy; Foreign Minister Hirota, General Hayashi, minister of war; General Araki, leader of the Japanese militarists; Wang Ching Wei, chief executive of China, and many others. Well Known Authority Upon his first return from the Orient in 1929, Hillis Lory was appointed a fellow in Far Eastern politics at Columbia university. Professor Lory has since interpreted the Far East in his courses at Stanford university. :::|:;:§:|:;:V:y:w:'wlK:iir. $ ::x^ fr gt;jv:jj? |ia!S ::::::-:::::::::::: We set the pace 1 with LACE | $5.95 WAHL'S | She's the Top Violinist extraordinary, noon librarian, and president-elect of the Women's League, this blue-eyed, light-haired lassie belongs to this class called "Big Shots" because of her attractive personality, ability to handle a job efficiently, and her good looks. She pals around with last week's big shot, which is not strange, as both are excellent musicians. She really has been in the WWC longer than two years for, to quote her, "I've gone through the fifth and eighth grade of the training school, played in the Normal school orchestra for four years " while attending high school, and have been here five quarters as a regular student." Having taken violin lessons since she was 4 years old, she really knows the classics, but this doesn't stop her from being modern and young and liking jazz, especially to dance to, judging from the number of dances she attends. Even in her name, Maxine Mol-drem, she has good poetical alliteration, which makes for a pleasant, musical combination of sound. Hoppe Attends Speech Conference Washington Speech Association conference, held in Wenatchee last week, was attended by V. H. Hoppe, speech instructor of WWC. The object of the conference was to discuss the different phases of speech instruction in the elementary and high schools. Continuing over two days. April 16 and 17, the gathering was very successful and was well represented by the major schools of Washington, according to Mr. Hoppe. Topics of the many speakers present were very broad in subject matter, ranging from corrective to dramatic and public speaking. Marking the close of the aggregation a large banquet was served in the dining room of the Cascadian hotel, Saturday evening. "The trip and the conference were both very interesting," said Mr. Hoppe, "and some very good methods and advice were offered." Teaeherr Mbnthly Features r E. A. Bond Article Viewpoint in Teaching Math Changmg; Related, Real Life Problems Advocated "The Mathematics Teacher" for April, 1937, contains an article written by Dr. E. A. Bond, mathematics instructor of WWC. The article is entitled "Recent Changes in Point of View Relative to the Teaching of Arithmetic," and is based on the paper which was read by Dr. Bond at the NEA convention in Portland last summer. Upon publication 'of the article Dr. Bond received a letter of congratulation from B. R. Buckingham, of Harvard university, a lecturer and writer in the field of mathematics, who is now connected with the editorial staff of Ginn and Company, Publishers. Mr. Buckingham wrote, "I find your article excellent both in substance and in form. I wish more people were taking the attitude which you take." Real Life Problems Praised In his article Dr. Bond states that facts, processes, and miscellaneous problems learned by meaningless drill are of no value. Related, real life problems, he feels, promise greater returns. He writes, ','If one responds correctly to quantitative thinking, it is due to the possession of a rich fund of experiences num-berwise and not due to ability to make automatic responses." Dr. Bond also stated that in many school subjects tradition is being routed by scientific studies in education, and the study of arithmetic is at present a most active field in a most active period of education. o College Graduate Married in Montana Miss Edith Mahlstad, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W.

The court was held at the home of Helen Boothe, where the Vikingites met for final initiation rites. Sybil Hinchliffe, Lloyd Nelson, and Warren Toms were the acting clerk, prosecuting attorney, and attorney for the defendants, respectively. After reading parts of their unique interviews, the criminally insane initiates were tried and convicted of various misdemeanors Sentence was passed immediately and the terms were served without further delay. Stunts were performed by the following initiates: Merna Rowe, Lillian Morton, Gayle Walsh,- Forrest Hawley, Frances Daley, Bud McNeil, Virgil Helmberger, Gladys Axling, Bob Minnihan, Ed Kamper-man, Henry Francis, Ole Thor-sen, Jack Whitmore, and Gus Gissberg. £350 Holly St. Food Shop 120 East Holly WE DELIVER FREE 0u0Wrafa Interests; Indians, r Electricity, Gardens in Limelight Indians and their adaptation to whatever .environment they gt;are in formed hot only the center of interest for work during the winter, but the motivation for the third grade of the Campus Elementary in their work this spring.

Back comes the retort, "Well, tohy don't you do something about it?" Okay, Sandy, if you will organize your Viking Manor champs into a baseball nine, I will promise to put an equal number of my lamebrained reporters (as you people call them) on the field against them. Say, Don Holder and Arne Johnson, theres' no reason why Mrs. Barton couldn't have a team in this league, either. Those faculty beaters at Edwards hall could probably find more suitable competition should they want to enter a team in this league. For the independent boys, Sam Ford's Co-op offers an opportunity for another team and away down at the end of High street should come another organization of those slugging giants from Daniels hall. Coach Lappenbusch has consented to sponsor the league, should you men be interested. How about it, boys ? Who Is Right? "How much power does a n unwritten rule yield?" is the question that is bothering Coach Red Reese of the Cheney Savages. Uncovering an unusually fine football and basketball prospect in nineteen-year-old Bob Smith, Reese doesn't want to lose the youngster to a Spokane, professional ball club. Bernie Devieveros, manager of the Spokane baseball club, saw Smith in action and signed him up. Reese protested that Devieveros had broken an unwritten baseball law in signing college athletes before they had finished school. The pro-manager retorted that he told Smith to stay in school and finish his education but the boy was determined to play baseball and would quit school for a diamond career. Other reports were that Smith would sign up with Yakima if the Spokane club refused him. Smith's case brings up a similar one of Levi McCormick of the Seattle Indiance, McCormick was a promising halfback at Washington State college, but quit school for a baseball career "because you can't eat newspaper clippings about touchdowns.

Attired in snappy new uniforms, the locals should present a colorful array when they cavort on to the field. The Chamber of Commerce and other civic and service clubs are lending helping hands to make the occasion momentous. This year's edition of the Boosters reveals a new manager, supported by a strong combination of veterans and newcomers. A brilliant twirling staff consisting of reliables, Elmer Bray and Lefty Isekite plus speedy Felix Penso, should be second to none in the league. Catching chores will be taken care of by Andy Padavon and Arnie Myers. Strangers, Jim Carrigan and Bill Marks are contending for honors at third base with the former favored through his fielding and throwing. Other infield positions will find Ty Hofeditz at first, Manager Babe Barberis on second, and stringy Art McLarney, shortstop. The garden spot of left field is up between newcomers, Wally Carrol, of Seattle Prep, and Sheldon Curtis, of Monroe, both promising youngsters. Centerfield will be patrolled by Ted Clarke, while Dutch Neben-fuhr will function in right.

That—Homer Morris' 1937 varsity golf ambitions have taken a ride on the merry-go-round this spring as the Vashon island ace has drawn the conclusion that his student teach ing will take far more time than he had expected? That—In the near future, possibly tomorrow afternoon, when an unheralded, unacclaimed, unpublicized, but a highly ambitious WWC track team squad takes the field against the collegians from Mt. Vernon, they will taste their first victory of the 1937 season? If the Norse fall before' the hapless Skagit county youths his horde of readers can tell this scribe that his cerebrum is as weak as M.

Skinner, second singles, who teamed up with Orloff to take the first doubles in quick time, will attempt to change his last week's defeat into victory, and has every chance to accomplish his aim.

An impending collision between twin stars AK Herculis, some place up in the zodiac, is the latest discovery in the astronomical savannah. With a rare accuracy of .007 per cent, a graduating Arizona university student, scientist now, utilized an ordinary photometer to reveal facts that the 300 trillion mile distant twins would some day collide. The double stars eclipse one another every ten hours, will bump when they hid each other every sixty seconds. Soon the budding astronomer will journey to Peru with the Hayden Planetarium party to view a total eclipse of the sun July 8, an event that occurs once or twice every couple of years. MYSTERY SHD? PUZZLES Back East the fishing season on Lake Erie opened with a large bang. First thing the motorship Murle J. earned the title of mystery ship when it returned to port with • 1600 pounds of. whitefish in its hold, 160 less than all six other boats had been able to glean from the waters. This eslabiished a new season s record, set an appropriate mark for the remaining fish devotees to shoot at, talk over, or—over-talk. Well, fishers, get started. AND SO THEY WERE MARRIED In Chicago it took a family of five brothers, a patient bride and preacher, to get "one of their number married. Brother Michael tangled with a garageman, ended up in the brig . . . that left four. Brothers Herman and John, seeking to get him out, were also implicated in the same affair . . . and that left two. Two little brothers, one to be married. Saul was drafted to serve as best man—-the other brother, James, not wanting a perfectly good hired tuxedo to go to waste. About the time James and his bride were two hours late accepting each other as man and wife, the three jailbirds came straggling in to witness the finale of the complicated ceremony. And did they live happily ever after? Well, they won't make the same mistake again, anyhow. ROBBERS GET ROBBED A group of illegal DovermeV safe-crackers of amateur standing, lost their reputations one night when they slunk carefully through the basement of Dover's Union Trust company and attempted to crack the bank's safe. The job proved too tough, and after making a number of futile sallies they ignominously departed, leaving a drill stuck in the safe's door. So successful was their bad work that the next morning bank officials were unable to open the safe either. They remained ahead one drill, though. PARK AVENUE FARMER SUED Because his bucolic nature fostered intemperance and intolerance, gentlemen fanner Phil Plant, erstwhile No. 1 playboy on Broadway, is about to lose a $500,000 alimony to his unbucolic wife. Leaving the Blue Book behind last year, he retired to his Connecticut farm to live a life of "frugality' amidst the companionship of neigh boring fishermen and * farmers. Contrary to his wife's desires, he began to make money on his farm, to drive a cheap car, and most of all, to ignore a $100,000 income. Now she who took him away from the brightest lights on Broadway, wishes to return the year's best catch to circulation. The farm is worth half a million dollars. That's big business, something no farmer should countenance.

Many Inquiries About Summer Prexy Receives Requests For Summer Bulletins From Wide Range of Territory Uniforms For Band Discussed At Board Meeting Possibility That Band Will Make Ellensburg Trip Brought Up Wednesday By President C. H. Fisher If the number of requests we are receiving for summer bulletins is any indication of the enrollment we are to have during the summer quarter we have reason to believe that we shall- have a larger enrollment than we have had for some time. Moreover, the requests are coming from a wider range of territory than usual and include one foreign country other than Canada. Leaving out the State of Washington, we have requests from twenty-nine states including Alaska. All sections of the United States are represented. The far eastern states are represented with requests from Maine, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia, as well as states in the west and middle west. Canada is represented with requests from the two provinces of Alberta and British Columbia. South America is represented with a request from Colombia. A large number of requests have come from Oregon, Idaho, and Montana. Other states represented by requests are Arizona, California, Nevada, Wyoming, New Mexico, Oklahoma, North Dakota, South Dakota, Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, Michigan, Minnesota, and Iowa. -o- Truax, Ullin Plan Water Events Novel and entertaining water events have been planned by the committe chairmen, Frances Truax and Chet Ullin, to make this Campus Day on May 19 the best in the history of the college. Swimming races of all kinds will take place in the morning with the clowns performing first. Next a 30- yard dash will be held for the men and women. A log rolling contest will be next in line, ope.i for everyone who knows the art of logging. A back stroke swimming race will follow for all those backward students around school. Finally a high diving contest will be sponsored to finish up the morning water sports. Boat races will be the main water sport in the afternoon. The houses and groups are asked to practice up for this event. (The faculty might also be represented.) Both men and women are urged to get four oarsmen and one coxswain together for the race. Possibilities of purchasing uniforms for the band was the leading subject of discussion at the Board of Control meeting last Wednesday afternoon. Ed Tomco was appointed by the Board to collaborate with Mr. Bushell in investigating the feasibility of the proposal. As an aid in paying for the uniforms, should they be purchased, it was suggested that band sweaters be awarded for every six quarters participation instead of every two as has been the policy in the past. The Board also discussed the possibility of instigating a home and home arrangement between the bands of Bellingham and Ellensburg next year. Under such a plan the Viking band would accompany the basketball team to Ellensburg. The EWC band would return the visit when the Wildcats play in the local gymnasium. A motion was also passed that the Sophomore class of the fall of '37 be charged for damages done to the lawn back of the school while preparing for their dance. The amount is to be deducted from the allotment for their party fall quarter. o Editor Hopes To Release Klipsun June 4 W Glub Informal On Tonight Shell To Be Scene of Big Program Dance; Revellers Swing Band to Play Cash Prize Offered Winner of'Rename Normalstad9 Contest; Western Viking Issues $4.00 Guarantee Much discussion has taken place and many questions have been asked concerning the date of release of the school annual, the Klipsun. Margaret Thon, this year's editor, has set a tentative date, June 4, which is the Friday before the close of school. In case that Thon's desires for an early publication are fulfilled, amateur snapshot enthusiasts of the school who have high hopes of seeing some of their Campus Day products on display in the snapshot section, will be disappointed, for there is a doubt at present as to whether there will be time to wait fof Campus Day pictures. Photographers for the annual have been busy men for the past week, trying to complete the Klipsun pictures. Track, tennis, and golf pictures have been taken, thus completing the sports section. "Rhythm is our business tonight," sing the athletes of the Viking W club. For tonight is the night when all young couples travel to the Chuckanut Shell to dance to the Revellers' sweet swing music at the big Varsity ball. The hop, put on by the W men, will be the last big all-school affair of the quarter. And to make this one be remembered by a large group, the club formed a ways and means committee consisting of Bob Lindsley, Erman Holtzheimer, and Ed Tomco. "We've found ways and means for all of the couples to get there and back, but if there are any more, please see* us today," says Tomco. Cars have been lined up by Chuck Bevans. Balloons will predominate in the way of inside decorations, while on the outside the people's choice, OF Man Moon, will help out. Corsages are taboo at the affair, which is a program dance with the boys making out the trades. The list of dances is posted on the main bulletin board. Although the track and tennis teams are on a road trip to Ellensburg, a good turnout is expected, as tickets have been selling at a fast rate. Patrons and patronesses for tonight will be Miss Virginia Bever and Mr. and Mrs. Don Bushell. o Valkyrie Sponsors Spring Dance Receiving- last minute sanction, the Valkyrie club announces the date of its spring quarter dance, May 8, is given as the final choice of the group. There is controversy as to just where the affair will be held —the decision to be made soon. Unlike the last club dance this will be exclusively for club members. County Girls To Cavort In Annual Playday Meeting for their fifth annual play-day, girl athletes from the county schools will contest in events Saturday, May 1, at WWC. I Sponsored by the WAA, with Hazel Oie as the general chairman. The circus theme will be used for the occasion. It is expected that about 100 delegates will participate in basketball, baseball, swimming, and racing. Programs of the days attractions are contained in booklets shaped as circus tents. These also have the luncheon menu in them and will be distributed early in the day. After the main events of the morning, luncheon will be served in the Edens Hall cafeteria. An introduction by Betty Ewing is to be followed by speeches of welcome from Marian Price, club president, and Miss Evelyn Rupert, adviser. A violin solo will be presented by Maxine Moldrem. Hazel Oie's talk on "Play-day, piano selections by Clara'-Vari-derGriend, and group singing complete the program planned. WAA members will give exhibition stunts in swimming, ping pong, tennis, archery, badminton, and dancing. Chairmen of the committees are as follows: Alice Armstrong, registration; Eileen Miller, luncheon; Joyce Jensen, concessions; Barbara Kennedy, attractions; Merna Rowe, chief barker; and Florence Lund, tent maker.

Informal Irrationalities Hazy seas of fog clogging his brain, perspiration on his forehead shining like dew in the morning sun. Knee's knocking, pacing up and down the room, muttering, grumbling. The image of the telephone dominating his misty mind, the mouthpiece alternately twisted in a diabolical grin and confidence that for him, was colossal, he called her and made the date. His mind conjured a picture of a girl, slowly but positively it oozed into the corners of his imagination; ousting the terrible nightmare. It left him shaken but unafraid. Moving to the telephone with a malevolent stare. It filled his consciousness, overwhelming and decisive, cackling and glaring. Standing on the corner, a slow drizzle gradually seeped through the topcoat. Would they never come? Wet feet, pants with the press long departed leaving them baggy and shapeless. Embarrassment, what to say, shifting feet, the girl looked about uneasily and shifted with him. A car pulls up, it's they. Slamming doors, muffled exclamations, hasty informal introductions. Slithery tires on a wet pavement. Crazy blobs of light dancing in the rain. Clutching the damp pasteboard he stumbles out, the girl stumbles after him. Trumpets blaring, howling sax's and squealing clarinets. Vast seas of giggling girls, powdered, rouged, and fingerwaved. Multitudes of boys keeping them close attendance, slickhaired, freshly shaven. Dancers weaving in and out, a step at a time, shoving, stumbling, jostling, squirming ever forward, it goes on and on. Stern faced chaperons balefully staring, indifferent to the milling throng. The band shrieks on, the boy does his duty dances. The orchestra resumes its playing, couples straggle in again slowly packing the room till it overflows. The boy and girl dance, bumping, being bumped, treading and being trod on. Programme's, more dances. Its over, the crowd bears them out to the sea of mud, like driftwood on an ebb tide. Soggy coats, more rain, waiting, waiting. A car at last, crowded, but • crowds have ceased to matter. Heavy traffic, more wet pavement. Home again, a tired good-night, aching feet. Bed and peaceful oblivion. The 'W club informal. —H. F. Poetry RESTING Let me play! Work is for those mighty, Intellectual few; Not for me. I'm resting, now. Today, I'll read a book. Tomorrow?

Learning of the industries of this town aroused an interest in similar industries in foreign countries, and what happens to goods which we export to them. Emphasis in the fourth grade, according to Miss Pearl Merriman, instructor, is laid upon an elementary concept of the interdependence of peoples. During the first two quarters of the year the concept dealt with people in the local community. Now it has developed into a wider field, where the children notice how peoples in other countries depend on us, just as we depend on them. • Other concepts which are being brought out through these studies are those of man's increasing control over nature, how he adapts himself to his environment, and how he makes use of things in everyday life which nature provides for him. An important attitude being developed is that of research, and the need of looking elsewhere for material than in textbooks. In connection with their study of Bellingham, the children have prepared a booklet about the city's history, development, and industries. The stories are illustrated by block prints done by the children. A continuation of this work will go on throughout this quarter in the writing of stories about the Netherlands, Norway, and Switzerland, the countries being studied this spring. Fishing Fiends Face Revolt; Action Foreseen The piscatorial ardentists are spouting in their glory. ..Of monsters of the deep they caught—Oh, tales so stae and hoary... Whene'er fish season comes around we hear the same old story. And we sit long and patiently, as we've sat every year. To hear the supreme egotists describing their career. As mighty monarchs of the rod and no one else their peer. Come, let us band together in one united stand... From future frothing of these men, let us then demand, a surcease from the kind of stuff we hear on every hand. "Oh, what a whopper," they will say, extending their arms wide. In stretching imagination, they nearly stretch their side. The braggart Baron, if he heard, would sorrowfully hide. With high priced gear and tackle, our persons we enhance. From yachts, cruisers, and motor boats, swaggering in our stance. Good Lord! From such a savage mob, the poor fish has no chance. Incessantly, we hear the plea to be good sports in life. And always give the underdog an even break in strife. This theme is ever emphasized with speech, and hook, and fife. The people in this world, you see, ne'er practice what they preach. They advocate nice rules of life, that they will never reach.

Phil Kidder Manages Tri-College Booklet "With the application for the publishing of the Tri-college track and tennis booklet accepted by the Board of Control, the booklet is well underway," according to Phil Kidder. Upon inquiry of the booklet Kidder said, "It will be largely the same as in former years with the exception of the name, which had to be changed from Tri-normal to Tri-college with the recent change of name of the school." The booklet will be sold on the Wednesday before the Tri-college meet. The price will be one dime. Help your eyes to do easily the quick accurate seeing necessary in this busy modern age.

His well recognized laugh is hearty and contagious. He's mischievous and entertaining but maintains an enviable degree of seriousness very capable of functioning when need be. His unforgettable portrayal of the sad and "drupy" mother in last year's W club vodvil has won him an immortal page on the drama files. His latent abilities surprise many people including himself. He is an enthusiastic sportsman whether in the audience or actually on the field. Sports which capture his keenest interest are football and track. At the present time he excels in the latter. He runs the high hurdles in low time, broad-jumps and highjumps with the agility of a gazelle, besides being practically a one-man track team when necessity demands. Hailing from the Grays Harbor district, he's a leader of that invincible army of Aberdeenans encamped at WWC.

The Co-oo SAM FORD, Manager Among announcements which have been of interest to College students this week were the Waters- Phinney and Decker-Bateman engagements. Warren Toms was surprised by a group of friends on his birthday anniversary recently while the dinner of the Women's League commission took the social spotlight.

If Sam Carver has anything sensational on this year's squad, he's keeping it well under cover. The only thing the interclass revealed was Danny Cagnon who looks plenty big enough to fill Arne Johnsons shoes. Holder, Taylor, Weber, and Nelson should bring home at least a first apiece, while Howatt, Friedman, Krueger, Van Over, and Boggess ought to be knocking over points for the dear old WWCE. With the possibility of Bob Phair and his 12 points being on the sidelines, Viking chances have been considerably pared down. However, with dope on the Ellensburg squad scarcer than the meat in Mother Hubbard's cupboard, I am still picking the Vikings to win their first track mete of the 1937 season. BASEBALL MINDED With baseball out at the WWCE. Viking lovers of the famous American sport -are seeking new berths in which to air their talents. Many of the former Norse kings or swat are playing in the city league which opens its competition this week. Managed by Les Arnold, the Bel-lingham merchants have signed nearly a complete roster of the WWCE collegians. Playing in the pasture for the downtown business men are Leo Lange and Cecil Clifton, both former football stars. johnny Fox is holding down the keystone sack, while Leon Lande, who used to burn them in for the Tri-state league, has been handed one of the mound assignments. Lande has defeated the best of them back in the cornhusking region, and if the big fellow lives up to expectations, he may graduate into faster company. Other Vikings displaying their prowess in the local league include such former regulars as George Smith, Ernie Dzurick, Fred Krueger, George Moscrip, and Bill DeVries. HIGH LIGHTS Red Smith, the boy who was causing sleepless nights for Coach Reese of the Cheney Savages, has turned down his professional offer and will remain with his alma mater . . . The Ellensburg Crier weeps over the loss of John Holl, holder of the Tri-college high jump and discus record. . . . Unless the Savages and Wildcats have an ace up their sleeve, first place in these two events will be in the hands of the Vikings after the Tri-college meet . . . (Personal note to Laurance Butzer of the Cheney Journal) For your information, Jeff Tesreau is the brother of Elmer and Louie of football fame, and after you've seen him play you are going to wish that he had followed in his brothers' footsteps . . .

JofiftftiU Seniors Triumph Over Juniors In Cinder Meet Krueger, Gagnon, Van Luven Take First Three Positions, Weather a Detriment Fountain Service And Soft Ice Cream The Only Place on the Hill To Get IT Viking Serve-U-Well By Bob Minnihan Running on schedule despite adverse weather conditions, the Sophomore- Senior track squad defeated the Freshmen-Juniors in the intramural meet held last Friday and Monday on Waldo field, 58 1-3 to 57 2-3. It was believed that Taylor's Tornadoes had won Monday, since they were in the lead at that time. But the running of the supposedly dropped 220 low hurdles on Tuesday swung the lead in favor of Phair's cohorts. Kreuger, Gagnon, and Van Luven finished one.two, three for the Sophomore-Senior gang. Chilly air and rain caused mediocre performances with a few exceptions. Gagnon stepped off the century in 10 seconds flat, which is a notable performance considering the early season, to outdistance Weber and Kreuger, who finished second and third respectively. Another feature of Friday's events was the 4:52 mile turned in by Howatt, a freshman. Although the time was not sensational, the boy is a good prospect and should trim considerable from that figure with training and experience. Coach Carver saw visions of at least one Tri-college championship following the performance of M. T. Nelson in the shotput. Although Nelson tripped and fell out of the ring, he sent the shot soaring skyward to land nearly 14 feet away. Harold Nelson, Edmonds' own, was high point man of the meet, garnering 16 points for Phair's squad. All track lettermen were excluded from competition. Loggers Win Tennis Match Second Time Losing by five matches to two, the Viking tennis squad lost for the second time in a row to the CPS team at the Tacoma city last Friday. These two wins by the Loggers are the first defeats that they have handed the Vikings in two years. Orloff, the sterling first singles player from Bellingham, took the first match in three hard fought sets. The last set of the match was 5-2 before Orloff rallied and beat Swan from CPS. Skinner Loses Walt Skinner, the chubby yell-leader, lost his match to the hard hitting Carlson in two sets. Bill Weeks, the third singles for the Vikings, gave his team another chance when he beat Kuhl in two sets. This was the last win the WWC team garnered in the day's competition. Summary: Orloff (WWC) defeated Swan (CPS) 6-4, 3-6, 7-5. Carlson (CPS) defeated Skinner (WWC) 6-1, 6-1. Weeks (WWC) defeated Kuhl (CPS) 6-3, 6-4. Hite (CPS) defeated Fowler (WWC) 7-5, 7-5. Anderson (CPS) defeated Hawley (WWC) 6-3, 6-3. Swan and Carlson (CPS) defeated Orloff and Skinner (WWC) 7-9, 6-4, 6-3. Hite and Kuhl (CPS) defeated Weeks and Fowler (WWC) 6-2, 4-6, 6-2.

Arranged Paul Mueller, Inc. JEWELERS 1301 Cornwall Ave. By Heimberger They did it again! The Viking golfers rang up three more victories last Thursday, Friday, and Monday taking the UBC squad in Vancouver and returning to defeat PLC. UBC again was a target for the Viking sharp shooters in a return match on the local course last Monday. The Norsemen experienced some difficulty subduing the UBC squad on their home links as the greens were extremely large and the sand traps just wouldn't stay out of the way. The PLC golfers couldn't quite overcome the barrage flung at them by the strongest squad WWC has had on the field for some time. The Tacoma golfers found the hillside layout of the Lakeway course "somewhat different than we are accustomed to." The UBC players were swamped by the WWC team last Monday on the Lakeway course in a return engagement. The course was soggy and the play was carried on amid a downpour of rain. The highlights of the game were two eagles (two strokes under par) by Bob Lindsley, of the Viking team, and Lynch, of the Canadian group. The next scheduled matches will be held in Tacoma next Thursday and Friday, where WWC will battle wits and strokes with PLC and CPS in return matches. The scores for the UBC game were as follows: WWC UBC Kidder 3 Allen 0 Lindsley 3 Findleyson 0 Jacobson 3 Zeckie 0 Tesreau 3 Beach 0 Heimberger 3 Lynch 0 o Tennis Team Journeys To Ellensburg Hopes for a championship tennis team from WWC, although slightly dim because of the scarcity of veterans, have ont faded entirely, according to Coach Lappenbusch. "We have some tough battles coming up," said Lappy, "but with more experience the team should be able to offer the opposition a few stiff battles." Tomorrow, May 1, the Vikings journey to the hilly country along with the golf and track teams to engage the Ellensburg team in court play. The East Siders were trounced 7-0 recently by a strong Linfield squad, but playing on their own courts tomorrow against the Vikings they may give a better account of themselves. The traveling squad which leaves for Ellensburg today includes Orloff and Skinner, singles, and first doubles; Weeks and Fowler, singles and second doubles; and Hawley, singles. Following is the schedule for the remainder of the season: May 1—Ellensburg, there. • May 7—U. W. Frosh, there. May 12—Mount Vernon, there. May 15—Ellensburg, here. May 19—Gonzaga, here. May 22—Tri-normal, here. SEA FOODS YOU LIKE TO EAT At Prices You Like To Pay Bornstein's FISH OYSTER CO. Phone 882 Located in the Home Market * STAR Drug Co.

She brings her message: "As general chairman of playday, I extend a-welcome to high school girls of Whatcom county. By playing and participating in the full sport .program planned for this day, a definite feeling of comradeship will be established among all the girls. It is the one time during the year when a representative group of high school girls comes together to meet other high school girls, as well as college girls. Through cooperation of the WAA members and our guests, this year's circus day of play will be most successful." Hazel Oie Attention is called to Marion Price who is acting president of the WAA and has filled a most successful year. She greets you: "It is always fun to meet somehow new and to join with them in a day of recreation. A diversified program of sports is to be offered Saturday when the troupers get together under the big tent. It will be more t h a n a three-ring circus, it will be a fast moving parade of events. In the morning the participation in team sports will include baseball, volleyball, folk dancing, relays, and basketball. The afternoon exhibitions will include the sports offered in our program here. The guests will finish the parade with a dip in the pool. We look forward to a good time, led by an able ring master."

BRAND NEW CONTEST CINCH Publicity is for the public's benefit Herewith you are being benefited. Before that unequaled bit of masterminding that postponed the Campus day, it had been planned to have Griff Williams around jt night to pound out rhythm for the dance. Then it was decided to hire the Philadelphia Harmonica's riggennajig, but when its size was discovered—why, no-one would have had any room to step it up in. Now the question is, what orchestra will be there, and why? And what name could be used. That's the contest. Name the orchestra, then name a name... It's easy... The win-nan will receive one free trip to Pluto. Wire in and send results care of Vox Pop editor, Liberty magazine (yeah, it's*a magazine), New York City. Then, too, the dancers will not dance on cornmeal. No, that's bad for the corns. Instead they will amble lightly over a bed of pearls— pearls of wheat. Just a little more aristocratic. And never mind the Normalsiad renaming contest, that is only a big graft. Patronize this coloussal contest and win twice as much. DRYS GET REBUFF After soundly "whipping the devil and all his works" during his 52-day abstinence from food, Stooping Oak's claim to immortal fame, Jackson Whitlow, finally established sure-fire communications with the "Lord". The gaunt Tennesseean, a mere shadow of his former chest expansion, said the first message suggested that he take a little wine, with orange "juice tdchase1 it, for his stomach's sake. Imbibing in elderberry wine and orange juice, the faster slept it off, received another permit to eat his first meal of solid food the next day. He is expected to become a missionary by his fellow mountaineers. Looks bad for the WCTU now that divine powers are arrayed against them in the battle to dry the wet ones. . . GUNS AND LOVE TANGLE Doggone it, freedom of the press seems to be going out with the long Woolen underwear these days. Because his gallivanlry was unwelcome at a party down in Kentucky, one fellow, 16 years old, lost his only life playing postotfice—a game long accused as scandalizing by various grandparents here and abroad. The party had steadily grown wilder as attending freshmen and sophomores warmed up zealously; soon the fatal game was suggested and accepted. Alone in a room during their turn, this particular couple picked up a revolver, began to shoot at each other. The 14- year old gal won. It's a dangerous game, should be ruthlessly persecuted. Cowards die many times before their death. The buzzards outside The Viking office have died as many times since. GOLD STILL UNSAFE Lending a fit conclusion to the dedication services of the world's largest suspended, $35,000,000 Golden Gate bridge, was the $400 gold rivet secured to be the last driven in the great monument's construction work. , With due suspense the crowd watched driver-of-the-first-rivet, Ed Stanley, place the gold link in the only remaining slot, send it home as he turned, on the air gun. Instead of acting in a formal fashion, die rivet Went to pieces, showered spectators with flakes one-half size of a fingernail... Then, as they poked out the rest, it fell into the bay, disappeared. An ordinary steel one substituted. Guest at the ceremony was Pioneer Joseph Graham, who worked around when the Union Pacific Seined the Central Pacific in 1869 with '.a silver and ' a gold spike. More successful in their dedication, the officials on that occasion removed the two spikes next day.' 'Rename NormalstacT Contest Supported By Organized Viking Solicitors Newsmen To Contact Green, Hinchliffe Assisted by Cub Reporters As this story goes to press, the contest money stands as follows: First Prize ..$4.50 Consolation Prize 1.50 Galvanizing the "Rename Normal-stad" contest into a live, burning issue is the formidable, but surmountable task which has stared the Viking staff in the face this past week. Personal contact committees, publicity agents, solicitors, and individual boosters have all been oiled to effect a smooth running machine. Only eight days remain in the contest, which opened Monday morning at 9:00 a. m. No entries will be accepted after the deadline, set at 4:00 p. m. next Friday, May 15. Students Scratch Heads Name-conscious s t u d e n t s ' are searching annuals, magazines, telephone directories, buildings, and even the sun, moon, and sky, hunting suggestions for "a name with a snap." Hmmm — "Bond Rendezvous," or "Water Haunt,"—maybe "The Old Swimming Hole," "Canoe Paradise,"—Oh, yeah, I got it! "Frog's Heaven" — Now, where's Toms? Where's my dime? Come on! Let's go! Cub reporters Frances Daley, Lillian Morton, and Gayle Walsh, assisted by 12 veteran reporters, are soliciting entrees from the women of the school. Sybil Hinchliffe, news editor, is taking charge of the publicity angle of the campaign. Every (Continued on Page Three) Comedy Presented By Local Theatre Guild WWC Grads Order Announcements Senior announcements were ordered last week by the members of the graduating class of 1937. A new seal bearing the emblem of the Western Washington College of Education will be used for the first time. The design, striking in its simplicity of style, is very appropriate for such an occasion. The announcements, at 12 cents each, ai s scheduled to be here about May 20, thus giving the seniors ample time to send them before graduation, June 10. No extra announcements will be issued after the orders have been made. There are 14 of the graduating class eligible to wear caps and gowns, for they have completed four years of study at the College. Then-caps and gowns will be the same as worn by the members of the graduating class of the University of California at Berkeley. "She Stoops to Conquer," a hilarious comedy written by Goldsmith in the 18th century, will be presented by the Bellingham Theater Guild next week. The dates, May 12 to 15 inclusive, have been set as the schedule of presentation. Included in the Guild cast are many present and former WWC students. Casting for the play are as follows: "Sir Charles Marlow", portrayed by Norman Clarke; "Young Marlow", his son, by Denton Hatfield; "Hardcastle", by Frank Bur-, net; "Hastings", by Boyd Swanson; "Tony Lumpkin", by Frank Wolfe; and "Diggory", by Maurice Nelson. Feminine roles are held by Mrs. Joly, as "Mrs. Hardcastle"; Miss Olson, as "Miss Hardcastle; Miss Men-ke, as "Miss Neville"; and Catherine Bolger as a "Maid". The play, best known for the ludicrous figure of "Tony Lumpkin," has been a success wherever it has been shown according to Mrs. Joly. Students who wish to see the production will be afforded a saving by buying their tickets at the Co-op. o Music Department Backs Festival Speakers Chosen For Graduation Norman Coleman, James Kenna To Deliver Two Commencement Addresses Seven High Schools Send Groups for Band, Vocal, Orchestral Concert Music Week Ends; Programs Given The most elaborate program of the entire National Music week is to be held in the auditorium tonight at 8:00 p. m.

All the snapshots are in with the exception of the Campus Day pictures. It was announced last week that it would be doubtful if those students wanting to display their amateur shots in the Klipsun, would be able to do so because of the early publication of the annual. A provision has now been made to allow them to do so. All students wishing to have snapshots of Campus Day fbr the Klipsun must have them in not later than Friday noon, May 21, two days after Campus Day. Pins were awarded to the members of the Klipsun staff for their work on the annual. Margaret Thon, editor of the Klipsun, and Helen Hostetter, business manager, received senior awards; and Eleanor Rea-soner, junior award. The pins are awarded annually by the Western Engraving Co., of Seattle. Movie-Mad and ---------- Western Viking - 1937 May 7 - Page 2 ---------- WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGE OF EDUCATION Friday.

Sunday Is Mother's Day A mother . . . is the holiest thing alive. Selected. Is Sunday Mother's day? Is Sunday a special occasion—a certain day wherein we honor our mother? But is mat possible? Can we love our mother more on some special date than at other times throughout the year, day in and day out? No, I think not. Still, it is nice to have a Mother's day. Too often, in our hurry-hurry existence, we forget our mothers. So Sunday is Mother's day. It's marked off on the calendar. Its a chance to wax sentimental and not be scoffed at. It's a chance to show a little bit of the feeling so often not expressed. And the best part about it—it's for our mothers. The Stroller Strolls Continuing in our detached manner as is customary, The Stroller brings you—what? Wouldn't it be a swell world if those who have a million dollars would use it as those who haven't got it think they would use it if they had it—which they wouldn't, or would it? A Contestnow that's not so bad; A brand new name for Normalstad. Stand up and cheer Or drink a toast We give you—"Campi Close to Coast!" And to the winner, ladies and gentlemen, we give this bag of gold! (shekels, dimes, or what have you?) What new name will take the place of Normalstad? Who is going to be the lucky one? It might be you, you, or you! Time's a-wastin'. Get your name in by Friday, May 14, and make it the winning name. If it isn't the tops, it might take the consolation prize. Who knows? So save your dimes and nickels and put your minds to work by thinking of a name and bringing it pronto to the Viking office. Griff Williams Scores Turn About—Fair Play For the past five years, the New Deal administration has been telling the business men of the nation just how their respective enterprises should be conducted. At the same time, the United States government has been increasingly burdened with debt. If any protests were raised against this frenzied spending, the administration silenced them by saying, "This is an emergency. Next year we will balance the bud-get. Now, that time has arrived. And what will the government do? The New Deal admits the emergency is over, but the budget is still not balanced. And increasing appropriations are cleaning out every cranny of the already empty treasury. The sack is empty. And who's holding it? Some advice from the leaders in the nation's business world might help to even the score. —o Dear Mama By Virgil Heimberger When the strains of "Dream Music" come floating over the airwaves it is a sign that Griff Williams and his band are in session. The song "Dream Music" was composed by Williams while he was attending Stanford and was later adopted by him for his theme song after his separation from the Anson Weeks orchestra some two years ago. Griff, arriving via auto caravan last evening, drove over Chuckanut Drive. He thinks the drive is the most beautiful he has ever seen and the "Northwest is purely God's country." After a two-day stay in Seattle, Williams and his orchestra will leave for Dallas, Texas, to complete an engagement before going to Chicago for the summer season. The Griff Williams orchestra has been permanently retained by the Hotel Mark Hopkins in San Francisco for the past two years. Although he hasn't much time for home life, Griff enjoys daudling in a garden. He also, in order to round out his diversity of interests, enjoys collecting symphony recordings as "they are soothing to the nerves after continually pounding out swing music". "You can't take that away from me," the new Gershwin hit, is Griff's favorite tune. . o and Names Simile: Dumb as the girl who saw a veiled statue and said, "Aw, it's all bandaged up!" "Her niece is good looking . . ." "Dont you mean 'knees ARE'?" Spring notes: Blackie Crow has been cawed away on business. Mr. and Mrs. R. Robin are blessed-eventing. Jenny Wren will middle-aisle it sometime this week. What two night owls are using the Campus bench every evening? (Two??) They laughed when I spoke to the waiter in French—he was a Chinese waiter! Foolosophy . . . I get more lazy every day In prac-tic-all-y every way; I could be quite a bummer By 'bout the middle of the summer. "All right for you," growled the professor as he marked a perfect paper. Quips from a Quarterly: This may be the machine age—but—notice how love is still made by hand. It's getting so that every time we take a chair, someone accuses us of starting a sit-down strike. When the trees begin to leave, it's spring; when the leaves begin to leave, it's fall again. "Goin' fishin' at night! What kinda fish you goin' to catch at night?" "Starfish." And is this a hook! Non Campus Mentis—Campus Day Postponed once. Hooray! Hooray! Now, maybe Old Man Weatherman Will keep his rain in the Watering-can. Boner Miss Mcllvain had been speaking at considerable length on early forms of architecture. While she was describing gargoyles, one student, who had been day dreaming, woke up long enough to hear the one word, "gargoyle." She nudged her neighbor and said, "Gargoyle? That's what I do when I have a sore throat." "What's in a name," the Avon bard has asked in accents flowered. We could call a rose a skunk, and yet its smell would not be soured. However, live skunks don't drape well upon the trellis bowered. Nice, yes it is, to own a name that smooth flows from the throat. Like Smith, or Jones, or Green, or Brown—all easy ones to tote. And if you've got a name that's strange, woe, you will be a goat. To pack around a title like Dillingham Kertweet, is terrible, atrocious, and doggone hard to beat. A chap with such a handle, had best get off the street. We have a beauty spot up here where students flock each year. To swim and play and then be gay . . . But, for its name we shed a tear. Students austere can loudly cheer. At last they have a chance. To christen their vacation spot; its glory to enhance. Their pockets then will jingle with dollars in a dance. Our "Normalstad", the lake retreat, where every spring the students greet". Must change its name the times to meet. So, how about it, my fine gents, and ladies too (with common sense). Come wrack your brains, and let's commence. Throw in your brain child with your dime. And watch the pot on upward clime. So, hurry, hurry, while there's time! o Forum Movie Review MT.

Dorm Celebrates May Day at Breakfast Freshmen girls and those new since Chistmas, were entertained last Sunday at a May Day breakfast given by the upperclassmen at Edens hall. The dining room was decorated with a May pole and baskets of flowers.

Hutton of Winter Haven, Fla., and Arthur Mickle, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Mickle, of Centralia, were married on April 24 in Seattle. The ceremony was performed by the Reverend J. D. Hudson of the First Congregational church in the Congregational parsonage. About 16 girls attended a dinnertime party arranged by Anna Berg in honor of Mrs. Mickle. The party was held in the dining room of Edens hall. This vivacious, small but very energetic person whose profile is at the top of this column, comes from Sitka, Alaska. She is never still a moment and is always on the go, doing anything from a black face announcing act for the Junior-Senior party to taking part in a skit for the Women's League informal dance. She hails from Alaska, but she talks a lot about Seattle. She's in the Women's League Commission and is the Valkyrie club social chairman. Her main extra curricular pastime at college seems to be dramatics. As Ado Annie in "Green Grow the Lilacs" she was "sure some kid even if'n her store bought powder was sticky and very white." Having done her student teaching during the fall quarter of this year and completed her courses for her three-year diploma, she will be teaching next fall. Oh, and lest we forget, her name is NORMA JANE GORSLINE, very blue-eyed, small and a swell dancer. i^^ient Science Eoriris Basis of Study Dictionary Being Made Sixth Grade Learns of Work Done by Greek, Medieval .

The study started at the beginning of the quarter, dealing with what the sciences are. included in the unit is a study of ancient and medieval scientists, and in connection with this work, a scientific dictionary is being made. While learning what contributions some of the famous ancient Greek scientists made to the building up of our present-day knowledge, some experiments were performed to demonstrate their principles. Chiefly concerned were those of Archimedes' laws of the lever and pulley. Here it was brought out that, although people in the ancient world used these simple machines, Archimedes was the first to put these laws into words. It was discovered that this scientist had a method more nearly like the one we use today than any of his contemporaries. Reports were given by the pupils dealing with the work of about 20 other men of this early period. Among the more important of these are Aristotle, Euclid, Archimedes, Ptolemy, and Aristarchus. To help keep clear in the pupils' minds just what each of these scientists contributed, the scientific dictionary is being made. The group recently finished studying ancient science, which has taken them up to the year 300 A. D. They are now ready to take up the work done during the Middle Ages. By Marge Osier "And how much am I offered for this little satin number? It's genuine glove silk, good strong elastic at the top, pique trimming, valuable antique, a perfect heirloom—why, my own mother used to wear 'em (sob, sob) there's a bit of sentimentality attached to this offer but this is a closing-out sale and everything must go," says TORY LUND, auctioneer for the Edens hall auction sale held last Tuesday which rid the dormitory of many stray pieces of pottery, personals, pajamas and piques. "Seven cents I'm offered, seven cents, do I hear an eight? Going, going, gone to MISS NELL BRYANT lucky bidder of this un-comparable bargain." "And oh! you lucky people—look what we have here. A practically full bottle of good old fashioned Sloan's linament—good for all aches, pains, sunburn, furniture polish, dandruff, freckles, and liver tonic.

The story goes like this: Gagnon, a sprinter. Was running number one man on the relay team, with Bowers as his opponent. Dan, who had never run the 4 4 0 before, was told to keep as close to Bowers as possible and then let the more experienced man win the race. Dannie followed instructions for the first 50 yards or so, but then Bowers got in his way. So the husky Canadian zoomed around Bowers and left him like the hare leaving the Viking Racketeers Defeated By Ellensburg Netsters Have Lost Matches To All Opponents In Tennis Meets U p T o Date turtle. However, Dannie, unlike the hare, finished 50 yards ahead of the Wildcat runner. The phenomenal speed with which Gagnon left Bowers caused the en tire stands to rise enmasse. The kid was really running! Nickelson, Wildcat coach, jumped to his feet and bellowed, "Who's that kid? What's his name?" And Sam Carver moaned, "He'll never hold it." And Gagnon not only held it, but extended his lead with every step. Brother, that's running! * * * « s= THEY GOTTA HAVE IT It takes a lot of fortitude to run 2 miles in the blazing sun. And hats off to the two Viking runners who stuck it out to win four points for the Vikings. HOW FAST DID SAM RUN? After Sam Carver had courageously made faces at three live rattlesnakes on display in an Ellensburg window, Red Van Over chased his track boss down the track with'a baby garter snake in'his hand. Red didn't know it, but he cracked 10 flat trying to catch Grandpappy Carver. For pure and unadulterated laffs, get Lappy to tell about the Ellensburg farmer at the cowboy show. Insist'*on gestures; they're half the show. LOTS OF POINTS It was Don Holder who made the points add up last Saturday. The storekeeper credited the Aberdeen speedster with 18 points—firsts in the high hurdles, low hurdles, and high jump. Such going-ons won't hurt Bellingham's chances in the Tri-college one bit. A FEW NOTES— Two-miler Milholland really deserves his name of "Parson." He preaches every Sunday . . . M. T. Nelson couldn't play a decent game ! gt;/ pool with the 16-pound shot as a cue ball . . . Prediction—Taylor will win the Tri-college mile . . . And was my face red? o Renton Inflicts First Booster Defeat; New Field Dedicated With Joe Dailey pitching six hit ball, Renton christened its new $30,- 000 baseball plant last Sunday in a big way by taking the Bellingham Boosters 2-0 in a Northwest league game. The defeat, the first setback of the season for Bellingham, snapped a three-game winning streak and dropped them down to second place. Six hits were all the locals could gather off the Renton chucker—the same number Elmer Bray of Bellingham gave up. Although hitting as often as the opposition, the locals could not bunch their bingles together in a parcel big enough to count. RENTON SCORES The second inning produced the only fireworks of the day when both Renton runs were scored. After singling, Hal Lee and Pitcher Dailey came across the platter with the aid of two timely blows by their teammates. From then on both chuckers bore down into a tight pitching duel. Wally Carroll, rook outfielder from Seattle, lead the Booster willow attack with two singles while Hal Lee, former Booster boss, bagged a brace of singles and a double for Renton. Felix Penso came off the bench to pinch hit for Padavon in the ninth and delivered with a sharp single to the outfield. His effort went for nought, however, as he was left stranded on the sacks when the game ended. Vikings Defeated Saturday In Cinder Meet Minus the services of the veterans, Arne Johnsen and Bob Phair, the Vikings were defeated in a dual meet held at the Central Washington College of Education in Ellensburg last Saturday, 72 to 59. One new Tri-college record was written into the books, when Glen Hartman, Ellensburg quarter miler, circled the oval in 49.4 to clip seven-tenths of a second from the old mark. Don Holder was high-point man cf the meet, winning first in both hurdles and the high jump and second in the broad jump to total 18 points for the Vikings. Glen Farris, Ellensburg, was next to Holder for high honors, his firsts in the discus and pole vault and a second in the high jump giving him 13 points. Dan Gagnon, new Viking sprint sensation, navigated a slow track to win the 100 in 10.4 and placed second in the 220. McAulay, Sam Carver's midget pole vaulter, surprised WWC track followers with a 11-foot jump, inches above his previous best one, to place in the pole vault. Summary Mile—Montgomery, E.; Taylor, B.

Saturday, May 1, was Mayday to most people; to the Viking tennis squad that had sailed into Ellensburg the day before it was only a can't day. The most noteworthy thing brought back was a splendid set of sunburns acquired while Ellensburg was rolling over them to the sad, sad tune of six matches to one. Chet Orloff, Viking strongman, and Dick Fowler both put up a mighty tussle before succumbing to their opponents. Fowler took the first set of his battle but was unable to keep up the pace. Hawley, elongated netster, also extended the Ellensburg man alloted him to three sets. Bill Weeks dropped his match in straight sets. In the doubles the Vikings finally managed to' win, with Skinner and Orloff "knocking them off in decisive fashion. Weeks and Fowler, unable to shake their jinx, lost in straight sets. The sun had all of them reeling around in true Virginia style, a fact that influenced the result some but not enough to afford a substantial alibi. Previously Ellensburg had lost to Linfield, who beat WWC 11 matches to 1, by a score of 7 to 0. To date the Viking squad has lost all its encounters by margins large and small, the largest to Linfield, tne smallest to CPS, 4 to 3. The summary of the Ellensburg match is as follows: Orloff lost, 6-2, 7-5. Skinner lost, 6-2, 6-0. Fowler lost, 5-7, 6-4, 6-3. Hawley lost, 6-3, 3-6, 6-3. Weeks lost, 6-0, 6-1. Due to the neglect of taking down the match the names of the Ellensburg players were not received by the Western Viking. Golfers To Journey Southward For CPS Match Quintet Meets P L C Today With Vikings Still Unbeaten Ladder Changes Positions Coach Sam Carver's divot digging brigade will make their Stand against PLC in Tacoma today. The match promises to be a close one, as it is being played on the newly constructed college course. As the course is in a rough condition, it will make scoring difficult for both teams. The CPS match was played on the hazardous Fir Crest course yesterday. It was necessary for the Viking golfers to keep a stiff left arm, as the Fir Crest course boasts long, narrow fairways. Although the CPS golfers were defeated here in their first match they are certain to be more sure of themselves on their home course. Game Too Easy It seems that this game of golf is becoming too easy; anyway the WWC golfers have made it appear easy by conquering all of the teams that have constituted this season's opposition from the neighboring colleges. Probably the toughest opponents that the Viking golfers have encountered have been within their own ranks. After each match has been played the battle begins for positions in the next match. Kidder Still Tops Phil Kidder continues to hold the position of number one man on this year's squad. Kidder is a hard man to beat. Bob Lindsley has pulled all kinds of shots out of the bag this year by defeating all comers, not excluding Pat Jacobson, former Tri- Normal champ. Lindsley is likely to retain his position as number two man for the next PPPPP

The consolation award is made up of the remaining shekels, which amount to $2.79. Meeting at' 9:00 a. m. Monday morning, the judges went to work immediately. The list of proposed names was divided into three groups; taking each group separately, each judge ranked the names one, two, and three, according to his judgment The scores for each name were totaled, and the three best names from each group were selected'and compiled in a separate list The final list was ranked and scored in the same manner as the other three. Lakewood ranked first. o— Stupendous Events Slated For Today The time of the affair has even been extended and dancing will be from 8:30 until 11:30. Mel McKee's orchestra, which will render its in-sancapated hi-diddles, will be seated on a raised platform. Colored flood lights will afford effective illumination with Mr. Moon and his satellites acting as powerful helpers. And it's guaranteed the courts will be danceable. Two hundred pounds of good old corn meal have been secured to do the trick—but it's at warning you'd better wear old shoes.

The Morning Oregonian, in its regular weekly series of pictures of colleges on the Pacific coast, last Sunday featured pictures of seven prominent co-eds from the WWC campus. The girls to break into print were: Bonnie Jean Wilson, Helen Acklen, Maxine Moldrem, Florence Lund, Anna Padden, Virgie Boal, and Joan Hoppe. Another picture featured was a scene of the library as seen in midwinter. With the snow-clad trees in the foreground the library made a highly imposing picture.. "I can't understand where all the poetic inscription came from," commented Don Gooding, the lad responsible for the publicity end of the page.

Come'out and take it in, for there are sure to be laughs and thrills galore when these husky behemoths mix it up in the ring together. Assembly Mysterious To find out about the assembly program, you'll have to come and see for yourself. Chairman Norma-jane Gorsline insists that the big event be kept a mystery, so we poor reporters, know-nothings ourselves, can't enlighten you in any way. Here's one little tip, however. Elsabelle Cruttenden plays the role of an unruly training school sixth grader and Virginia Holm falls in love with Leon Hewitt. And, Boy! how she falls! Faculty Battles A battling faculty baseball team, headed by Coach Ruckmick, plans on upsetting the student team's applecart. Both teams will have a liberal sprinking of femininity in their lineups. The time is 4:30. Dancing under the stars, a la California style, is what Marge Osier promises at her tennis court dance. Varicolored lights and soft tunes of Mel McKee's orchestra should entice all to come out and swing it. This novelty dance, first in a couple of years, should prove a great success and lots of fun. Do's Ana Dont's For Prexy! Prexy, here are your do's and dont's for the long anticipated ceremonious christening of our playground (according to Emily Post).

Godmother Jenkins must hand the new arrival to you and immediately after the sprinkling, don't forget to hand the baby back. Godfathers Cederstrom and Bond must stand beside the bottle—of lake water. The godparents must present to the new arrival a silver mug, a porringer (mush-bowl to us youngsters), or a fork, knife and spoon.

Debrils Born 30 Years Too Soon SCENE: Normalstad—-1889 TIME:: 9 a. m. Campos day SETTING: A rustic fireplace under a erode shelter stands in the midst of a forest premevaL The deep silence is broken only by the pines and the hemlocks whispering among themselves and now and again by the shrill squawk of the three-toed sloth, the rumbling purr of the wildcat, or the low moan of a lone coyote. The entire scene appears through a thin, grey veil, for its raining . . . a . . . slow . . . steady . . . drizzle . . . dr-ip . . . dr-op . . . dr-ip . . . dr-op. Suddenly the harmonious sounds of nature are drowned, out by an unmistakable sound . . . Mr. Kibbe has arrived on his bicycle with Dr. Bond in the sidecar way ahead of the buggies and second only to Miss George She came sprinting in at the crack of dawn like a fleet-footed marathon runner and is now engaged in making a fire by rubbing two wet sticks together. Kibbe and Bond come plunging through the underbrush and with the aid. of a mariner's compass, smoke signals, and a Boy Scout handbook manage to locate the site of Normalstad. They immediately busy themselves with the fire and are soon lost to sight in an in-penetrable smoke screen even the Spanish rebels would be proud of. Then comes the squeak and the rattle of rusty buggy wheels on the newly constructed corduroy road (WPA). "Prexy comes down like a wolf on the fold" bearing a lawn-mower, three shovels, two hoes, and a pick axe . . . . Soon the rock and rills echo with the sound of the woodman's axe, hammering, sawing, splitting, blasting. Then out of the din rise the words of an official proclamation—From this time hence let all travail. cease. Let joy and good fellowship reign supreme!" A lusty cheer rises from the jolly crowd (25 students—21'women and 4 men). Fighting off mosquitoes, goats, and other miscellaneous members of the specie they manage to masticate their lunches. After water-splashing contests, suitably accompanied by feminine shrieks, a hair-raising mud-crawl relay and a breath-taking stone-skipping contest the happy throng rattles back to town leaving behind as evidence of a good day's work a substantial french-windowed lodge, an outdoor, sheltered brick stove, 2 bathhouses, a boathouse, four boats, a long pier and diving tower, a caretaker's cottage and Miss Longley picking up the stray beans.. And they call this Campus day! After a little Shakespeare, let's get back to the conventional style. Dirt, dirt, who's got some dirt? Dirt was at a premium, so your tax collector (it taxes our nerves to write this stuff) ups and makes the rounds. Had to go to Lake Whatcom to collect some of this garbage. Found out ISABEL FISHER goes horseback riding so she can be near a certain helper at the riding academy. Ah! A triangle found. Track runner NORM FUNK sprinted into a date with WINIFRED KRIETER; wonder if CLAYTON KNTTTEL had a little to say? JACK REEVES says spring has a number of meanings and the worst is that the grass begins to grow. He was inveigled into mowing RUTH KIRK'S lawn—and the grass grows greener. ANDY JACKSON seems to like bread these days—at least the CRUMB'S. Oh, these strollers. Wonder why HARTMAN LARSON and MAE MCDONALD aren't on speaking terms. Ya know, these "Sunsets" are the "heights" of things. More pick-ups: GAGNON and the ECHO had another little quarrel. Ho-hum. What's wrong with the guys around here? PAULINE BARNES and ZETTA PARKS imported a couple of Seattle boy frans for the Edens hall hop. Well, absence makes the heart grow fonder. WAYNE WEBER doesn't have to depend upon his legs for track any more. He has a SHAY to cart him around. Yes, spring has its effects— BOB MINNIHAN and BETSY DA-VIES were seen by four eyes meandering up the/hill the other eve. And the moon was out, too. Another big correspondent is in our midst—bespectacled DICK WILSON scribes with one of the fair sex in Liverpool, Eng. Don't say anything you'll regret, Dick. o Fore!—Love! Go!! These will be heard at the annual Tri-college meet held Saturday at Waldo field, the tennis court, and Lakeway. We hope Chase and Lindsley come in under par; that Orloff and Skinner beat them off the map (by them, we mean Cheney and EUensburg) and that Phair and Gagnon keep those tracksters on their toes. Girls, get out your umbrellas and raincoats so well be sure to have good weather. Be see-in you Saturday and hope we come out on top. ...and Campus Day The day of days at last comes nigh, and now the studerits feel. The fellow who deserves a cry Bespectacled hard worker, he is Campus Chairman NEIL, tore through with his plan— this boy is not a shirker—he even fooled the weather man. Now, as you raise old Ned and Cain, 'pon this newly christened place, thank Ralph that naughty old man Rain, ne'er showed his streaming face. There's GORSLINE, HOLM, and WHITE, who helped on the committee. They pushed the project day and night, arousing the whole city. And SELANDER, SOUKUP, TRUAX, and WILLIS, have done their part this day to thrill us. MARGE OSLER, energetic gal, boraxed the tennis courts. For dancing underneath the stars—entertainment of all sorts. VIRGINIA HOLM and MOL-DREM, food producers for the day—their grub it ought to hold 'em—full stomachs will hold sway. If we'd take space to mention, all who put over this event. The print shop would have dissension. All the type would be quite spent. So as you swim, and play, and dance, remember credit's due, not only to one lone person. But to YOU and YOU and YOU! Dancing Didoes Campi . We learn from a trade journal that 3,000,000 men in America are now wearing silk underwear, proving, among other t h i n gs that there's darn little privacy left in this world. Dean Lauer, of the University of Washington, has written a story on campus "talk," translating material from an article on "American Student Slang" by Felix Bauman. of Germany, who recently toured this country in quest of college "slan„ guage" A few definitions included in the deans story are: Homely girls— crock, hard-nosed, cookie, pop-eye pansy and muddy-plow. Good-looking co-ed—fever frau, snuggle puppy, and flesh and blood angel. Campus romeo-^-ball of fire, squaw man, gold mine. Student automobile—rolls rough, struggle buggy, bone crusher, a merry can, tintype. A kiss—tonsil swabbing, mug muzzle, parksology and honey cooler. A dance—hog wrastle or cement mixer. Thus we have— Hi, fever frau! How's for a spin to the hog wrastle in the tintype and a little honey cooler?" Wan yellow moon, radiating romance, flows down on an infinitesimal square of light Smiling it shines on, and modestly averts its eyes. Rasping sounds of a vast army of shoes dancing on concrete. Scrape, screech—monotonous, nerve-wracking and eternal. The soft brilliance of the moon is overcome by the stark glaring light of incandescent bulbs. A cool breeze wanders aimlessly through the warm night. Melodic strains of an orchestra Hold invisible bivouac with the scrape, scrape of leather and cement. Gliding to the romantic melody couples thread their Way, oblivious to the world, conscious only of themselves, the moon, and the music; it comes to a lilting halt. People swarm the edge of the court— girls, laughing and vivacious; boys grouped together, talking, gesticulating, questing eyes rove over the array of girls as the band strikes up. Intermingling crowds, again they sway to the harmonious music, forgetting the world, they are forgotten— romance, ecstatic and complete. Orchestrations come to a dreamy halt. A pleasant tired feeling dominates the wave of humanity that surges the gate. Two by two they straggle.down the street. The scent of blossoms wafted with the breeze, intoxicating with the breath of spring. The moon is slowly obscured by a fleecy cloud. Campus Day dance. —H. F. o— DearMama PEAR MAMA: Oh, woe!

That's the question that seems to be bothering the experts. Sam Career is a good coach and a good coach is always doubtful but hopeful, so Sam is throwing ftis shekels in with the big red machine from Cheney. Doc Bond, who is a master at juggling figures, has done a little betting on the side and is putting his money on our own Vikings. The Viking staff hopes Doc Bond is right but we cant deny facts, so here comes our prediction —Cheney, 47; Bellingham, 45; Ellensburg, 39. A juggling of a few of the second and third places, would send the white and blue to the top of the staff, so just hold your breath and wait! No matter who wins, several records will just be has beens. Glen Hartman, Wildcat 440 ace, who talks in a whisper and runs in the same fashion, is sure to crack the mark for the quarter mile distance wide open. A cracked pole in last week's Frosh meet may have spelled bad luck to Glen Ferris, also of Ellensburg, but if he can do just as well on the aluminum, the pole vaulting record is in for a shaking. If Ferris fails, Patterson, of Cheney, who broke the record last year, would like another chance at his own mark. Cheney has two other claimants to fame, one a husky spear tosser by the name of Boyk, who has already bettered the record in previous meets. The other claimant is the Savage relay, team which dynamited -around the mile distance to tie the record in the Wildcat meet. Dan Gagnon will carry the brunt of the Viking hopes for a new record. With the wind at his back, Danny whistled over the 220 twice under Tri-college record time, once in the Logger meet and once at the University. Sidelights The Viking golf team will win the Weisfield-Goldberg trophy and the Tri-college championship . . . What happened to Phil Kidder in the qualifying round? . . . More power to you, Manford Chase, may you continue to play the same kind of golf in the Tri-college . . . Ellensburg will take the tennis title away from the Norsemen . . . Taylor will stage a comeback to beat Montgomery, of Ellensburg in the mile; don't forget Brown, of Cheney, Bill.. . Krue-ger is likely to win the 230 lows . . . There will be at least three records broken Saturday. Bond Predicts Track Score Don Holder, 1933, Aberdeen high school—starred in football and track —After four years still holds Grays Harbor county records in broad jump and high hurdles—Was state champion high hurdler in 1932— also a member of the state champion relay team the same year— Came to WWC in the spring of 1934—Has excelled in track, specializing in hurdles, broad jump, and high jump—Also played one year of football—Tri-college his last meet for WWC—Capable and likeable- Holder will be missed next year. o Track Impresario— Coach Carver What Would Happen if— Parson Millholland turned on the heat and Won the tu)o-mile . . . the tennis team would win . . . at least one game . . . M. T. Nelson broke the Tri-college shotpul record? Sam Carver, director of athletics, speaks for himself in welcoming the Tri-college teams, "We extend a hearty welcome to the Eastern and Central Washington colleges of Education to another meeting in track, golf, and tennis. Early season track meets show the Cheney Savages to be the favorites. Their win from Ellensburg indicated a well-rounded team with strength in the weights and hurdles. We make no concessions, however, and it's still anybody's meet." By Dr. Bond It would be much easier to d e s c r i b e the outcome of the Tri - college t r a c k meet next week. But since I am asked to predict the outcome in advance I shall give my best judgment. Points The broadd jump will net us .8-9 The high jump .......8-9 The shot ...i-3 The javelin o-l The high hurdles 5-8 The low hurdles „ 3-5 The mile 3-5 The 220 yard dash ..' .....3-5 The 100 yard dash ..1-3 The 2 Mile ...3-5 We have a 50-50 chance to get one point from the discus, the half mile, the quarter mile, and the pole vault. This will likely net us two points more.' Our score should be between 37 and 53. , This will not be a dual meet between WWC and Cheney, Ellensburg will be heard from also. I think that 48-50 points will win the meet. o Lappy Welcomes Visitors; Conference Slated Tri«-ColIegiates Meet Saturday Cheney Favored to Win Track; Bellingham in Second; Golf and Tennis Squads Also Play We pleased invite Strong are to t he El- Tri-College Records Events Time or distance Mile run 4:32.8 100-yard dash 9.8 220-yard dash 22.4 440-yard dash 51.1 120 high hurdles 15.4 880-yard dash 2.01 2-mile run 10:11.2 220 low hurdles 24.8 High jump 6 feet Broad jump 22 feet, 2 5-8 in.

The matches will start at 9:00 a. m. offering ample time to finish before the track schedule begins. With Ellensburg holding two dual meet victories over our team, the Vikings are hoping to retaliate in their encounter. Conference Organizers Meet Friday, May 21, at 8:00 p. m. in the class room at the new gymnasium of the WWC, the proposed members of the new college conference are to hold a meeting.. The institutions to send delegates are: Central Washington College of Education, Ellensburg; Eastern Washington College of Education, Cheney; St. Martin's college, Lacey, Washington; Pacific Lutheran college, Parkland, Washington; Oregon Normal school, Monmouth, Oregon; Linfield college, McMinnville, Oregon; and WWC. It has been the feeling of the members of the Tri-college conference in the past that we are lack-iig recognition due to the small membership of our conference. By having these reasonably nearby colleges in a college conference we will not only have a conference of Washington schools, but in Linfield college and Oregon Normal we will have two of the stronger Oregon small colleges represented. The rating possible by including five Washington and two Oregon institutions will be more meaningful. Opinions Given This meeting Friday night will offer every institution invited an opportunity to voice its opinions in regard to the conference and its problems, and we hope that no conflicts will arise which will be so severe that they will keep this college conference from becoming a reality. As in other college conferences an annual meeting will be held to discuss eligibility rules, to set schedules for the next year, and to take up topics of special interst to the members of the conference. Dan Gagnon—hails from Everett —attended WWC two years ago— made his letter in basketball at time of first attendance—Gagnon was the fireball of the 1936-37 Viking quintet—small, wiry, he covers distance in short time, running under record time in both Logger and Frosh meets—Gagnon is expected the break a record in the 220-yard dash Saturday—The muscular speed-ball has been one of the main cogs of Sam Carver's track squad and is expected back next year. o Tracksters Predict Victory In Tri-College With the long awaited Tri-college meet coming up Friday, Viking track men are tapering off for what promises to be the closest meet in years. Following are the replies off Viking trackmen in answer to the question—What are WWC's chances in the Tri-college? Bill Taylor: "It's going to be a close meet. Farris, Hartman, and Montgomery, of Ellensburg, and Lyle and Walter, of Cheney, will be hard to beat. If we get a few warm days and the breaks, Bellingham should win. At least we will do our best. If Montgomery wins the mile he will have to run 4:35." Harold Nelson: "If the weather is right, I think the best marks of s iated to do the announcing, the year should be made." Athletes and more athletes will come across the- mountains from Cheney and Ellensburg for the big Tri-college track, golf, and tennis meets being held here on Saturday, May 22. This is the first time in three years that the affair has been run off in Bellingham. Cheney, track champions the past three years, will be out for another win, with the prospects bright for such a happening. They have defeated Ellensburg, and Ellensburg has beaten Bellingham. The Viking golfers, who have marched off with the honors the past five years and are undefeated so far this season, are top-heavy favorites to repeat again. The tennis squad of Ellensburg should come off the courts winners, having already swamped both the other institutions. Veterans Back Coach Sam Carver has two boys back who competed in the Tri-college here in 1934, and who still make points for WWC, Don Holder and Bed Van Over. Don is the versatile one; he runs the high and low hurdles, broad jumps, and high jumps, . ---------- Western Viking - 1937 May 19 - Page 4 ---------- WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGE OF EDUCATION Wednesday, May 19, 1937 Next Assemblies Mostly Musical Spaetn WU1 Dance!

W) WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGE OF EDUCATION, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Friday, June 4, 1937 * Live And ^ Learn By Henry Francis What with all the last week's excitement and stviS can't decide whether I'm exh. . ^ted over the forthcoming vacation or depressed about those nightmarish ordeals that mark the day of reckoning. As long as we are living in the middle of a streamlined age it seems as though a little modernization of tests wouldn't be amiss. Ought to be very simple to remake the finals into snappy little numbers that could be breezed right through. HEEBIE JEEBIES Cornell university has bought a 100-acre farm to further its practice of producing' nervous breakdowns on pigs and goats. This is an innovation in the scientific world to find the cause and effects of nervous disorders. It may be new to science but the training school has been at it «nscientifically for quite some time; in lieu of goats, however, they have student teachers, or is there any difference? .Anyhow the results are the same. WOO IN A PEW Doc McKesver's brainchild, the Lovers' church, is going full blast down in Oklahoma City. They seem to have' a grand old time - pitching the woo around those stiff-backed benches. Wonder if the good Doctor is figuring on any of it sloshing around the pulpit? His latest hue and cry was raised in lampooning the school boards for not allowing what he calls "these beautiful motherly women" teachers to be married. Guess he didn't realize that they couldn't get a husband or they wouldn't be teaching. COPY CATS Uncle Sam,got more than he bargained for with the unconstitutional AAA, and it's not over yet. It took a couple years for the idea to sink in but the Brazilian government finally got it. Now they have de- Tided to make a bonfire out of 70 per cent of their coffel crop to keep us rich Americans (who drink half of it) from getting it too cheap. That, after inveigling the Secretary of Stale to leave coffee on the free list of imports. Wait till people start dunking their doughnuts in milk or something as distasteful, Brazil will find it's another matter to tamper with our religion; besides it was our idea, the old copy cats. „ ON CONSISTENCY A staunch friend of the rubber stamp industry rose up in righteous indignation and stamped his foot down not long ago. The reason for his wrath was that well known term, "rubber stamp congress," as applied to our present solons. Here are the pros and cons in a nutshell. Rubber stamps and congressmen Are very wear resistant; Bat congressmen flit to and fro While stamps are so consistent. SWEET AND SHY Guess everyone had Wallis Simpson , Windsor all wrong, at least that's what a "we're just sisters under the skin," female newspaper correspondent '•• writes from Prance. Shown up in her true lights at last, it reveals her as just a little home body who really hates all this terrible publicity. Wally, according to the journalist, hasn't had a decent thing to wear in ages and ages and just because she orders two or three simple little things all the old meanies in town started tush, tushing at her extravagance. Probably true. All it needs now to make it perfect is to hear her explaining to the Duke how her other husbands misunderstood the poor little girl. RESTING Spent a couple of hours trying to find a position in a library chair so I could rest and study simultaneously but had to gbe up. If I rested I could'nl study and if I studied I coudn't rest—so I rested. That wasn't too good though. Suppose these chairs weren't made for rest-ingi so have to go find a bed. See you next fall. Board Elects Officers In Final Session Summer Recreation Program Varied; Main Features Include Cruises, Hikes, Picnics, Sports Closed Week Again Viking Positions Filled Soupkup, Hinchcliffe Selected New Editors; Band Uniforms To Be Purchased An intensive session of business concerning fulfillment of positions on the school paper, passage of the budget, and publication of the Blue Book marked the final spring quarter Board of Control meeting last Wednesday. Appointments were made for editor and business manager of the Western Viking for summer and fall quarters. Sele'ctions were as follows: summer quarter, Sybil Hinchliffe, editor; Rex Rolle, business manager; fall quarter, Clarence Soukup,' editor; Earl Eckert, business manager. BUDGET PASSED Appointment of similar positions on the 1938 Klipsun was deferred until next fall.. The Board voted final passage of the budget for the coming fiscal year in which was included an appropriation of funds for the purchase of band uniforms.. Florence Lund was granted the editorship of the Blue Book for the second successive year.. Miss Lund promised that several changes would be made in the publication. NEIL REPORTS A report on Campus day was submitted by Ralph Neil, chairman of the event. Neil suggested that henceforth Campus day be always held late in May. As President Don Zylstra will not be attending school this summer, he was granted a leave of absence until the fall quarter. It was announced at the adjournment of the meeting that the Board of Control picnic will be held this evening at Lakewood. o Funds Granted for Athletic Field President Fisher announced Wednesday that Governor Martin had honored a request for $3000.00 from the WWC trustees to finish the new athletic field. Work on the new field has been progressing slowly, since the project is large and only two men have been employed to level the top soil. The new appropriation- is expected to make it possible to have the job completed by next fall. Since the site of the field was once a swamp, the black top soil sank in many places the last year, necessitating the leveling process. Although much dirt is being trimmed from the sides and higher levels of the field and dumped into the hollows, it will be necessary to haul many additional yards of soil to put the field in suitable condition for seeding. W*»en completed the new athletic field, together with the new gymnasium, will give WWC one of the finest athletic departments in the state. The football and baseball fields will be separate and present plans call for three new tennis courts just back of the gymnasium. When plans are completed, provisions will be made for minor and intramural sports as well. o Boat trips, play hours, hikes, picnics, water sports, and excursions constitute the summer recreational program.. The expense of this program has been fixed at the lowest possible cost with the hope that it will be within the reach of every student First on the program comes the 8 miles climb up Chuckanut ridge on June 19. All students wishing to climb Skyline ridge on the following Saturday, June 26, must practice on this one. On June 22 there will be an all school picnic and salmon bake at the Rocks Tuesday, June 29, everyone is invited to go for a swim at Toad lake, which is accessible by streetcar. July 6, is the date of another streetcar excursion to Whatcom Falls park. VISIT VICTORIA The main excursion of the summer, that to Victoria, will be held on Saturday, July 10. A CPR boat has been engaged for this trip. The price will be $2.00 for adults and $1.00 for children under twelve. July 13, |.here is to be a supper at Galbraith's lumber camp, with a hike along the new Samish highway. The week-end Mount Baker trip will be on July 16, 17, and 18, the round trip costing about $4.00.. There will be a bus trip to Vancouver, B. C, to visit the Beleek shop, linen shops, Chinatown, and Stanley Park and continue on £o Horseshoe Bay. The fare will be around $1.00.. LOCAL MILLS ON LIST On July there will be an inspect tion trip to the Bellingham Pulp and Paper mills which will take two hours. The" trip to Skagit over Saturday and Sunday is an unexcelled trip on up to Rockport to the hydroelectric station. This will cost about $2.50, and will be held on July 24 and 25. This completes the schedule for the first term. The second term starts out with a trip to Hannegan pass July 30 and 31 which will cost about $3.50. Next will be the sailing trip to Cypress island, an evening sail on August 3. The climb up Mount Constitution will be held August 7. The All School picnic at Lakewood will come on August 10. This term closes .with an excursion to Friday Harbor to visit the Oceanographic station, a trip costing about $1.00. Medical examination will be required of all hikers.. Klipsun Released Tuesday, 7, Thon Announces Margaret Thon, editor of the Klipsun, has set the date for its release. Annual Klipsuns will be ready for all students on Tuesday, June 8, at the associated students office. "Come early and avoid the rush," is Tony's parting advice. By delaying the Klipsun a few days a page of Campus day snapshots could be included. These.will add humor to the book. KLIPSUN MAKEUP NEW Klipsun staff members have worked to complete 96 pages of school life. This includes their specialty of eight pages of candid campus shots. The makeup will be different from any that has been used in former Klipsuns, Editor Thon tells of the mystery connected. The theme and cover of the book will be revealed when Tuesday arrives for the annual's release. RUMMAGE SALE ANNOUNCED This year a rummage sale will be sponsored by the Klipsun staff to sell all snap shots which were taken for the Klipsun. A very small fee permits them to be carried away. Photography expenses will be paid out of the funds made. All men's and women's sports, clubs, snapshots, and class pictures will be sold at 10 and 25 cents. 0-, Hot Little Girls Return Slowly From Sunset Prexy Commends Cooperation of Students, Faculty Assemblies Make Fine Record; PE Building Great Asset Different Examination Schedule Tried Out "Oh, I . really would just o-o-o-ve to go, but, gee, it's impossible! This is closed week." Apologetic gushings similar to this will be in order starting this evening and continuing until Monday as the dread zero hour approaches when quarter exams are given to WWC students, and evenings are devoted to sweating knowledge from books instead of perspiration from dancers. The examination schedule adopted for this quarter avoids the possibility of two successive tests for any one student. Any heavy tests loads are to be reported to Miss Cummins for revision. Classes meeting at nine, eleven, and two o'clock receive their tests on Wednesday; classes meeting eight, ten, one, and three o'clock get theirs on Tuesday. School corridors are expected to be barren^ of bustling students the latter portion of next week, as practically all work for the quarter will be concluded by Wednesday afternoon with the exception of about a half dozen classes held over until Friday.

Anonymity Out The Western Viking is in no way responsible for the mimeographed sheet placed for distribution beside last Friday's Vikings. The Western Viking never publishes anon-myous material and has nov connection with any group that does. The Last Word: Yes, this is the last paper. It is with a mixed feeling of regret and thanksgiving that the present editor leaves the Viking. The editor is sorry to leave for this reason —he has enjoyed working with the entire staff, the faculty adviser, and the printers. He will miss them. He is glad to finish his term for the same reason that every student is so willing to finish school. Three quarters of editorship have taught much to the retiring editor. Hehas learned to take criticism and use it for advancement. He has taken harsh, unjust criticism and learned how to counter it with rational thinking. He had found out that some people can never be pleased; that some people are continually prejudiced against the school paper—yet these same people buy pencils with erasers on them. The editor has found out that journalism can be advanced to greater heights; that modern journalism has great possibilities. He has learned that confidence coupled with ability is an unbeatable combination; that confidence is an asset in any profession. The experience gained as editor has been undeniably profitable. It has been valuable in many respects. The editor has tried to present an editorial policy with a little thinking behind each comment. He has made good his promise to get the Viking out on time (he slipped once in two quarters.) Still, if he has succeeded in bettering the Viking, it has been made possible through the cooperation of all concerned. So, again, this is the last editorial, the last paper. It's "thirty" for now. and Vacations . . Next week will finish the school year, no more will students fret. About the studies they've had here, or worries they have met. But if they knew the troubles, to which they'll be submitted; dreams would be busted bubbles, and tribulations all acquitted.. Let's peek into the horoscope and see what the summer brings, and try to get the inside dope on vacations (?) and such things. The lakes, the mountains, and seashore will find their advocates, Mosquitoes, bugs, will feast galore; the ir-huger ne'er abates Strange to the winged tormenters' stings most folks are unawre. There is no limit to the things a vacationist can bear. A boiling copper sun that smites like boiling lava on the run and bites like snapping teeth. Should give the gay blade some remorse—a casket would go well of course—, also a pretty wreath! What good this cynic talk today, it will be left unheeded, each knows the part he has to play—it's old stuff just repeated, ye all insist they can't resist the lure of relaxation. There is no rest for those who test the pitfalls of vacation. Diplomas! Caps and Gowns! Commencement! These words tell us what is meant. Worms! Cocoons! Butterflys! What do these three pictures imply? As Freshies were pretty much a worm, with three years of studies through which to squirm. Wonder if we'll ever learn a thing before the final bell does ring. As Sophomores we have to pull in our head, and in our cocoons appear quite dead. Our last year is nearly o'er, when as a butterfly well soar. We'll fly from our Alma Mater, but we will always come back for more. Goodbye Graduates and Good Luck! Leaves From The Green Forest In this issue we make our BOUGH to the public. This column is a GRAFT—of the Stroller and a BRANCH correspondent.. We will STICK around for TREE or four issues and maybe LEAVE.. If it proves POPLAR enough, we WOOD be glad to give you ALDER news FIR quite a while, and we'll CEDAR that! A well-known radio contest offers prizes of a . . . "new Ford or a streamlined bi-cyle."

Great big books with laminations Studying them for ' zaminations. What to do? Oh, what to do? (I'm flunking, kid; are you?) Definishun: Fog—cloud on a sit-down strike.

I've been herring things about you. Yeah, salmon's been talking.. I octopus 'em in the bay for making such bass remarks. Poem: The men's club's dead and buried.. Graduates are getting married. There's no connexion, there, I see; But that's poetic liberty.) A disconnected statement here . . . June brides or graduates have cheer You might be both—as Pinky dear. Stroller: "What's all that noise?" Pat: "That's the crows flying around. They're holding a caucus." Yeah, I found out about her all right. I did a little sluicing and discovered she's nuthin but a gold digger! So we will leave you, now—or as the little girl said when she sat on the ice, "My tale is told!" o "How come they call you a yes man?" "I simply don't no." Poetry ELEGY From the.leaves of an unopened book There sounded a weary sigh, The Bookworm crawled out for a look At students lolling by. Adjusting his specs, he perceived Students crossing the grass; He joined them, for he believed They'd study for their next class. Unmourned by the rest of the school His body has never been found; For the students went to the Swimming pool And the poor bookworm was drowned. —Exchanged. Fo rum Hats off to the Senior class! We wish you all the success and future happiness in the world! Your clever pageant was well representative of the many school activities in which you have participated the last three years. We will miss you much, but happy at your achievement. In losing you, we will lose many who have attained high scholastic records and high activity points. You have entered into the spirit of the school with vim and vigor, always willing to do your share.. When something difficult blocked your path you "pitched right in with a smile on your face." We will never forget our holiday on Easter Monday. More power to you Tory Lund. To all the members of the outgoing class, its officers Ruth Carroll, Bob Barnhart; to its advisers, Lucy Kangley and Dr. E. A. Bond; and last, but not no means least, to the rest of the graduating class of 1937, we shout Three Cheers, Good Luck, and Ultimate Happiness, till we meet again! Strongbow and Atlas Frances Pelegren Two innocent bystanders, John Engebret-esn and Hartman Larson, WWC boys residing at Viking Manor rested this week after almost tearing apart a couple of "Carnival bums" who attacked, them at last week's show.. A certain "Blackie" (and a "Blackie" he was in every respect of the word including complexion, soot, etc.) person, barker for the dancing girls, became enraged when John and Hartman kept throwing harmless quips at him. Leaping from the platform he started pushing and mauling John. One of his gorillas, a gent who would shudder if presented with a cake of soap, and who seemed most unhygienic, took after Larson. Now Engebretsen and Larson are not replicas of Joe Louis,, and Max Schmeling, but are just a couple of nice, well-built youths who do not go about bumping into people in promoting a brawl, but who will not take any debris from anyone, be he an Atlas or a Samson.. As the bath-shy carnival stooge reached for Larson he received a stunning right cross that shook his dust-infested garments, took the wind out of his sails, and sent him sprawling towards the tent. Before Engebretsen could "give it to blackie" (for now the tide had turned, Johnny had him struggling is his supple arms).. The dark one darted back to the platform and began his "Come in and see the dance that—" While a hundred bewildered fans now frozen Into statues looked on and awed at these gallant youths, Larson and Engebretsen turned about and winked at one another.

Mr. Lappenbusch is going to attend the University of Washington this summer where he is working for a master's degree in physical education. Lappy plans on doing a little advertising for WWC on the side of interesting some of the boys down at the University in attending this school next fall. SOME VISIT EUROPE! Miss Ruth Weythman, accompanied by Miss Refa Dick, of Cleveland, Ohio, is going to make a tour of Europe this summer. Miss Dick has taught here for several seasons in the past. They will sail from New York for Bergen, Norway, and from there to North Cape to witness the beautiful midnight sun. They will then go by boat back to Bergen, from there to Oslo, from Oslo to Karlstad. They will visit in Stockholm, Sweden, and that vicinity for a time before leaving for Central Europe. Miss Weythman is going to take colored movies of the tour and is expecting to get some wonderful shots during her trip. MAYBE FRANCE, GERMANY If conditions are not too bad in central Europe a trip will be made through the central countries. They will also attend a national music festival in Germany, and make a tour of France. They will return on the Bremen September 15. Miss Elizabeth Hopper smiled and said that she would like to help, but that she usually spends her vacation in the fall and hadn't planned on anything definite as yet. If I came around later I could get a story. It is rumored that Dr. Cederstrom is going to spend his vacation somewhere in the mountains, but all he says is that he is going to catch up on some sleep. True! (Mountain air is recommended for that.) With but five faculty members going on vacations, the cooperation was none too great for a 360-word story. o 'Juno and Paycock' Strut In Remarkable Guild Masterpiece Famed Trainer Relates Experiences With Wild Animals; Began Career at Seven Years mx "Yes, I've often wondered why I joined the circus; sometimes I think that I've been a fool," answered Bert Nelson, famed animal trainer of the Al G. Barries-Sells Floto circus, when questioned concerning his choice of a career. He nonchalantly rested one well-shod foot on a folding wooden chair, which comprised the furniture in the circus trailer, and lit a cigarette. "I've always loved animals; when I was seven years old I gave public exhibitions with rats and house cats which I had trained myself. Although," continued the handsome gentleman, "I had never seen animals trained, so my methods were all my own. I was one of the discoverers of the reward system, which consists of feeding the animal after .each feat performed. JOINS CntCUS EARLY "I was fourteen years old when I first joined a circus as a star, and have been in one for the last eighteen years. My parents weren't in any way connected with a circus; my mother was an opera singer and my father a mining engineer. The first few years I loved being a performer, because youth loves excitement and the unexpected," he said, smiling at his feminine audience. With rapid mental arithmetic we figured his age. It didn't seem possible that this tall, well-built and neatly dressed young man was thirty- two years old. "I firmly believed, when I entered the circus, that no animal would harm me." Then he dragged out a huge picture album from a trunk on the other side of the curtain which divided the trailer into two minute rooms. "This is a picture of a tiger which jumped at me during a performance. The other tigers, with the exception of Korha, joined in the attack. Korha didn't attack, but she didn't come to my aid either," he remarked laughingly, meanwhile rubbing an almost invisible scar on his right cheek. "I spent three weeks in the hospital that time. LIONS ARE LIKEABLE "Tigers are dirty sneaks and can't be trusted, but lions, now I love them. A lion is a man, honest, and straightforward. He will give warning before attempting an attack, which proves that he is not a coward. In my present performance, :l?, have lions and tigers in the cage at the same time. This is exceedingly dangerous, because lions and tigers are mortal enemies." He got up to put away the album, ^nd then stamped out his cigarette. "Smoking is my one bad habit," he remarked, and then told of receiving $500 for his endorsement of Camels and Lucky Strike cigarettes. "After endorsing a cigarette, I have to smoke that brand exclusively for a year. I also eat Wheaties, and use Colgates' shaving cream," he admitted with a grin.

Cheney, for the second straight year, was second with five as compared to Ellensburg's three. Both sprint events, the 100 and 220 dashes, were swept by Belling-ham, while Cheney held the iron hammer over the heads of WWC and CWC in the weights. Danny Gagnon, the muscular speedster, was easily first place choice for the dashes. He broke the 220 record by such a large margin that the timekeeper's eyes watered from the speed. Although the mighty mite, Capt. Glen Hartman, of Ellensburg, failed the 440 dash mark in the big meet, he has raced it in 49.9, giving him the first spot in easy fashion. PHAIR TAKES THREE SPOTS Bob Phair won for himself a first in three events on the mythical team, the high hurdles, high jump and broad jump. The second record breaker in the three college meet, Bob beat the best competition offered as he.stop watches clocked him in 15.1—a new record. His high jump and broad jump| firsts in earlier meets carried over to place him on THE squad. An odd thing about Ellensburg's Ferris getting first in the pole vault is that he took second to Pettit in the tri-school. His previous meets and aftershow performance when he cracked the record at 12 feet, 6 inches as an exhibition, tabs him the blue ribbon winner. For the second straight year, the Cheney mauler, Boyk, won himself a place on the squad. His smashing of the javelin mark firmly entrenched him in first . DISTANCE RUNNERS HARD The, selection of the mile and two mile winners were hot knock-down and drag-out affairs.. Montgomery, the Wildcat "Cunningham", eked out his mile win over Bill Taylor only through his driving finish in the tri-college.. Taylor's earlier wins were overshadowed by his failure to make a better time at his speciality here May 22. Maynard Howatt's inspirational on-to-victory win in the two mile shoved him into the limelight over Gardner of CWC by a slight margin. Walters, from far across the mountains, the young low hurdle man who beat out Holder and went on to a new record, took the gold star for his race. ..Felber, the Cheney strong man in the discus, throaty voiced Blair of the same institution in the shot, and Caryl of EWC, the 880 winner, all won first when the final votes were counted. • Following is the mythical track squad as picked by the staff: Mite—Montgomery (E) 100 dash—Gagnon (B) 220 dash—Gagnon (B) 440 run—Hartman (E) 120 highs—Phair (B) 880 run—Caryl (C) 2-mile—Howatt (B) High jump—Phair (B) Shot put—Elair (C) Pole vault—Ferris (E) Broad jump—Phair (B) Discus—Felber (C) Javelin—Boyk (C) • 220 Lows—Walters (C) Renton Dislodges Boosters' Lead Daily and Isekite in Hot Mound Duel; Gaffney and Penso Added; Play Oiympia Saturday With Joe Dailey twirling deceptive six-hit ball, the Renton Miners nudged the Bellingham Boosters out of the leadership of the Northwest league by the score 3-2 last Wednesday night at Battersby field. Dailey, a former Booster himself, took particular delight in setting his former mates back on their respective heels.. Lefty Isekite, wrong handed local flinger, dished out only five hits to the Miners but his team mates did not help him any by scattering their hits. BOOSTERS ADD TWO Two recent Booster reinforcements, Johnnies, Gaffney and Penso, are expected to add considerable strength to the team as it levels off for the long summer grind. Gaffney, a chunky built long distance hitting outfieldder, comes from the Bremerton Cruisers where he established himself as quite a fence-buster. Around Seattle, where he has roamed many a garden patch, he is known as a top flight player. Johnny Penso, brother of pitcher Felix, is another product of the Seattle sand-lots where he has played high school and city league ball. Johnny comes fresh from the Texas league and according to reports has developed considerably. Addded experience should make him a potent hitter and smart fielder. PLAY OLYMPIA SATURDAY Next Saturday night when the Boosters play host to the Oiympia Senators, they will attempt to regain the top rung on the league ladder. As usual the. game will start at 8:15. Soukie Sat/s Kuljis Commands Horseshoe Rung Keen rivalry has been the password in the horseshoe tournament during the past week. The enthusiasts of the barnyard sport ?.re waging long and bitter battles to climb the ladder to glory. Brilliant play on the part of Mitchell Kuljis, who is at present perched on the top rung of the ladder, has enabled him to stave off all challengers and gives him the inside track to the school championship. TESREAU COMING UP Another prospective champion has loomed up in the background, however, a~hd he may soon be in a position to challenge the leaders.. This is none other than our local golf star, Jeff Tesreau, who seems to take to the game as a fish does to water. Jeff who started the week in position number 14, is playing a steady game and has managed to defeat all comers to date and has already advanced to the fifth rung of the ladder. s Players, besides Kuljis and Tesreau, who still have an outside chance at the championship and may come through are: Chesty Cooper, number 2; John Krieg, 3; John McCartin, 4; and Gus Giss-berg, number 6. Goodbye! and wishes you a pleasant summer. Before I call it a day, let us look back over the past year and, review the successes and failures of the Vikings. Brimming over with confidence and vitality, Coach Lappenbusch put out a bunch of gridiron, men last fall that looked like sure world beaters. They started out that way, too, winning their first three games, but a little school, Pacific Lutheran college by name, put the finger on the Norse and exploded Lappys mythical great team, Lappen-busch and his boys, however, came back to give Cheney a battle they will remember the rest of their days. All that Coach Reese of the Savages could say after that game was, "It just happened to be our day. I hope Lappenbusch isn't that good next year." Along came basketball season with : '• a team that I would have bet my Viking Chances Mediocre Majority of Men Returning For Next Season; Baseball Coming Back Again grandmother's false teeth on, but the Gods of Fate still frowned and the Vikings wound up in the same place they have been for the last ten years. SWEET SPRING Spring, however, smiled on Sam Carver's quite a bit of forehead and laid a track championship in his lap, plus his annual golf title. Lappenbusch, who had an all-around bad year, was blessed with a weak tennis team which staged a great comeback in the Tri-college meet but fell short of the championship by one match. My predictions this year have been as erratic as those of the sports writers who picked Joe Louis to knock Schmeling out in the first round, but let me make a few for next year: By the looks of the huskies that I have seen in Lapp's office, Coach Reese's flaming red hair will soon be turning gray—a football title for the former Washington guard; if the Norse have as good a basketball team as last year with a shorter schedule you can count on another title for the Buckley flash; the Gods were too kind to Sam Carver this year, the Norse will lose the track crown, but will regain the tennis championship; the golfers will continue to golf in the same old fashion.

A mass of scientific data, gathered on the trip, will be classified and studied at length. The Russians' next objective will be another polar flight, next time from Moscow to New York. Chekaloff revealed that the worst moments of the flight came when the oxygen supply ran low. This was the one feature of their planning which did not work out—since they needed a ten-hour supply of oxygen instead of the eight for which they planned. Chekaloff (pilot) and Belakoff agree that commercial aviation between Russia and America is feasible and predict its inauguration within two years' time. Fisher Attends Meeting New Plan of Certification Decided Upon by Board Certification of teachers and organization of vocational education were the issues discussed at the meeting of the State Board of Edu- Wood, Metal IWork Featured "What are the Training school industrial arts classes doing this summer? We have two of them, one in the morning for children in the cation in Olympia, June 18 and 19,, city schools, the other in the after- NEW PREMIER OF Canille Chau- FRANCE temps, radical- Paris, France, socialist, was June 21 commanded by President Albert Lebrun to form the new government following the resignation of Leon Blum. A conservative senate twice failed to give Blum a vote of confidence for which he asked. The question precipitating the split was that of power for Premier Blum to deal by decree with the nation's financial troubles. Chautemps has served as premier twice previously. Although he has not finally accepted the mandate of the president, it is understood that he will make a conclusive statement tomorrow. "IN THE NAME OF GOD" At the Washington, D. C. request of June 21 the steel mediation board, President Roosevelt sent telegrams to the heads of the Republic Steel Corporation and the Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company asking them not to open their Youngstown plants on Tuesday as had been planned. Appealing to President Roosevelt "in God's name," the C. I. O. asked, in a telegram, that he forbid the steel companies to open their plants, since such action was bound to result in terrific bloodshed. The steel companies acquiesced to the suggestion of President Roosevelt. In a recent bulletin (June 22) the Republic Steel Corporation announced that "the action of Governor Davey (in calling out troops) takes the announced plans for reopening of the plant entirely out of our hands." according to President C. H. Fisher. It was decided that when a five-year diploma expires, a three-year certificate will be issued. This will give teachers eight years to get a six-year standard certificate. "A great deal of time had to be spent on individual certification cases. This was because of the raising of standards and the inability of a number of teachers to meet the requirements. In every case an effort was made to make a fair decision," comments President Fisher. Vocational Education Planned A new plan to organize vocational education in the state was discussed. It was referred to the attorney-gen- 1 eral for an opinion. The last legislature passed a bill making it possible to have remedial schools in first and second class districts. A committee was appointed to work with county superintendents in organizing these schools. The state is encouraging the plan by giving generous financial support. Credit Given for Travel According to the new plan of certification of teachers, it will be possible to renew certificates by earning as lt;much as three credits in travel or professional work. "We realize that some standards will have to be set up to value travel and professional work. No doubt our state institution will set up courses that will involve travel for which they will give three credits," remarks President Fisher. This was the first State Board meeting over which Stanley F. At-wood, the new State Board president, presided. o FIREGUARD TRAINING CAMP! Portland, Ore. Jane 21 In preparation for the zero hours of the forest fire campaign this summer, training camps for some 1,100 seasonal lookouts and "smoke chasers" of the forest service are being held on the national forests of Oregon and Washington during the next ten days. Lookout stations will be fully manned by early July, U. S. forest officials state. Training will include all phases of fire-fighting. In many instances they will rehearse at actually staged "sham fires." Jewish Rabbi Due Here Tuesday "Judaism and Democracy" will be the subject of the address to be given at next Tuesday's assembly by Dr. George Fox, rabbi and advisor to the Jewish students of the University of Chicago. Friday's assembly will feature Victor A. Hoppe, head of the division of Drama, in a review of the 1937 Pulitzer prize play "You Can't Take It With You," by Moss Hart and George Kauff-man. Dr. Fox comes as a representative of the Jewish Chatauqua Society, an organization providing for free lectures on Jewish history, literature, ethics, and philosophies, for non- Jewish audiences in American secondary schools. o Rec Hour Scheduled Tonight In Gym Rec hour will be held tonight from 8:00 to 11:30 p. m. in the old Big Gym with Mel McKee's quintet furnishing the orchestration and the Edens hall girls acting as sponsors. Eleanor Nelson, Edens hall vice-president, has charge of arrangements. Faculty sponsors will be Miss Mildred Moffatt, Miss Virginia Bever, and Mr. H. C. Philippi. l i te continuance of summer rec hours is dependent upon the turn out tonight. noon for Campus Elementary students. They meet every day for an hour and a half, under the supervision of two men who are doing their student teaching in this department," explained Mr. Herbert C. Ruckmick, of the Industrial Arts department. Woodwork occupies the center of the stage among the Elementary Campus school group. Two of the boys are building a man-sized boat, large enough to be used on a body of water. One of the boys is making a cedar chest; another is working on a mahogany table. Two members of the class are making book troughs, while two of the girls bend their efforts toward Spanish ship models. Yet another student is completing a back-pack for use on hikes on week-end camping jaunts. Metal work is claiming the attention of the morning class. They are making paper knives or letter openers, pancake holders, and metal dishes. In order to make a dish, the children first learn to make a mold over which they place their metal. Then the metal is pounded into shape. The design is punched in with sharp instruments. The only requirement governing a childs choice of a project is one which stipulates that he must be able to complete the job within the six weeks summer session. o Viking Neophytes Take Beating In Ancient Rites Viking staff initiation of cubs, held yesterday at the Miller Sutherlen Print shop, "was a howling success," to use the words of Rex Rolle, veteran staff member, who planned the program of torture. The initiates were: George Abbey, Josephine McNee, Elsina Christen-sen, Lois Mendenhall, Agnes Peterson, and Katherine Logan. Leaving the Viking office at 4:00 p. m., the new members were herded to the print shop at Cornwall and Holly. The first thing that awaited them was a trip through the dark, box-cluttered hallway known as Terror Gulch. Coming in quick succession after Terror Gulch, were a blindfolded trip through the print shop, a whizzing ride on the hand-truck, a generous helping of quinine saturated spaghetti, and a few handfuls of type lice down the neck. To climax the event in usual Viking style, initiated and initiators assembled in the office for ice cream, cake and coffee. o Climbers Assail Skyline Ridge Tomorrow Morn Side hill Gougers and Whistling Marmots of Skyline will be hosts tomorrow, June 26, as WWC students pay their annual visit. The Ridge, beautifully decorated with snow banks and brooks, will be the scene of an all-day outing. With all hands on deck at 7:00 o'clock, the caravan will drive 40 miles to the foot of Skyline—just beyond Glacier. From there to the top—a short four-mile climb—the softies will have a fine chance to give untried muscles a workout. From the top of Skyline (elevation 7000 feet) the hikers will be able to feast their eyes upon the snow-clad grandeur of Mount Shuksan to the east, Her Majesty, Mt. Baker, to the west of Shuksan, Church mountain to the north, and numerous lesser peaks indiscriminately scattered between. This is a warm-up for the tougher trip up Mount Baker later on in the summer. So, if you plan to climb Baker, you had better sign up and enjoy this jaunt also. o Holiday Appointed Secretary With Anna Padden as acting president, the Board of Control held its. first meeting of the quarter Wednesday. At the request of Eleanor Reason-er, Klipsun editor, the Board approved the signing of the Klipsun engraving contract to Mr. Salisbury of the Western Engraving company, who appeared before them. The report of Helen Hostetter, Klipsun business manager, was accepted. Bob Barnhart and Hurley Boggess were appointed as a committee to arrange for the Board's picnic which will be held sometime during the first six weeks. Beverly Holiday was appointed as secretary to the Board and also as rec hour chairman. It was decided to have a rec hour the Friday before the Fourth of July. Summer quarter apportionments were approved as follows: men's athletics, $1141.40; Viking, $193.16; women's athletics, $175.60; drama, $26.34; social, $351.20. Registration Sets New Mark Dakotas, Montana Represented At WWC by Many Students Total enrollment figures at WWC reached a new height when President C. H. Fisher gave the latest number as 907. The attendance, largest since 1931, is indicative of the growth of the College as an educational institution. With practically all classes filled to capacity, the greatest demand has been made for teaching, observation, and technique. Most of this demand comes from experienced teachers who are working for degrees. Laurie Relieves Teaching Situation Miss Helen Laurie, supervisor in elementary education in Seattle, has been secured for the same type of work here in the Training school to take care of the overflow. Many Students From Middle West An unusually large number of students are attending WWC from, the Middle-western states, particularly from Minnesota, North and South Dakota. Many are here from Alaska while several from Montana have checked in. Oregon, Idaho, and even Ohio are other states represented. Officials are wondering what kind of a distance record was established when Ida Van Zanten, Holland, entered for the summer quarter. ---------- Western Viking - 1937 June 25 - Page 2 ---------- \ WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGE OF EDUCATION Friday, June 25, 1937 -The- Western Viking Established 1£99 Published every Friday except during the months of August and September by the Associated Students, Western Washington College of Education, Bellingham.

Rec hour is tonight. The object of such an evening is no secret to any of you. It is a time for recreation—a time when you forget your studies, your finances, your house-cleaning, your cares and your worries, and relax. To judge from the long cue that is formed in the reserve room every hour, we know you are studying. The library, open until 10:00 o'clock, is another evidence that you are hard at Work. But people work better when they take time off to relax. We want to learn to play together as well as Work together. We want a good rec hour. The continuances of these evening dances depends upon tonight's mixer. We don't want any stag line; we don't want any wall flowers; we don't want any long faces. We want you— to help us have a good time tonight in the big gym. A LITTLE HELP, PLEASE! Like every other paper, school or commercial, The-Western Viking is largely dependent on its advertisers for funds. And again, like every other paper, it must charge a subscription rate (yours is included in your quarterly fees) to obtain the balance of the money necessary to put out the paper. This much is easily comprehensible, but perhaps it is difficult for you to understand why the Western Viking subscription rate continues to climb while the number of ads steadily decreases. This quarter the business manager is earnestly endeavoring to put the paper back on its feet. He needs your help. Of course you spend money with our advertisers, but they have no way of knowing that you are from WWC. Pull yourself together! Read the Viking ads; and when you buy, just mention, "I saw your ad in The Viking." Sympathy ! Herbert Morrison, English Labor M. P., was talking about sympathy. "Most of the sympathy you get," he said, "is like the story. A judge was sentencing a prisoner who looked about seventy. "'I sentence you, prisoner,' he said, 'to 25 years penal servitude.' "Til never live long enough to serve that sentence,' the prisoner muttered. The judge gave him a kindly look. "..'Don't you worry,' he said, 'Serve what you can.'" To the tuneful oompa oompa . . . It isn't "Education," it's rec hour. "Bring the husband, wife, or infant, and swing". . . swing . . . everybody welcome—especially the men. And we thank Eleanor Nelson and her committee for hauling the sofa down to the gym! Forum Editor's Note: This column is reserved for students' opinions. Any person who desires to bring any issue before the student body may do so through this column, providing he signs the article. His name will not be published, but his initials will. Articles should be limited in length to 150 words. The Viking takes no responsibility for the contents of the column. "Please stand away from this desk! You will get your books at 4:00 and no sooner. Please find seats until 4:00 o'clock!" These remarks in no kind terms are what .confront mature student^ in the reserve library every afternoon at 4:00. Many of the people who make up the line waiting for books are middle aged gray haired teachers who have had years of experience in the field of education. I wonder —are we not forgetting that we are dealing with grown individuals who can expect to command from us a proper respect and courtesy? Treated as children, human beings will naturally respond as children. We find high school principals or superintendents, sheepishly but determinedly standing in place after having been told to find a seat. We find very reserved appearing teachers continuing to whisper in an undertone after having been told to stop talking. We also wonder—is the situation giving the new student the proper impression of our school? A day of happy interested activity and pleasant contacts to be marred by irritation in one phase of our library department! We think that a little kinder tone on the part of the librarian in charge or perhaps even a slight change in procedure might do away with the unpleasant atmosphere. If it were possible to have more librarians handing out books at the same time, then all books would be'ehecked oue before the students have an opportunity to become impatient. What we all want is a happy congenial school in which to work. May we have it? —X. Y. Pat's Prattle And so it rained, but as the California chamber of commerce says, 'This is very unusual weather." Did you listen to the fight Tuesday night? Sara Ann did and she says, "Speaking of fights, if Henry Ford beats John L. Lewis he'll be the punchback of motor fame!" We didn't notice any general walk-out on last Tuesday's assembly. Being an ardent Astaire fan we thought it particularly lovely. We like dancers. Give us more of them. They say that CARVER, the Western Viking sports editor, is a sharp and handsome young BLADE. You're not safe anywhere these days. Those candid camera fiends turn up everywhere. Imagine being "shot at" by one of them in Math class as you sit chin on hand, brow knit, nose wrinkled, in the front of the room while Doctor Bond patiently explains a tricky one to you. We were and were we embarrassed^ Sight singing at 8:00 o'clock is hard enough, but when you have a flock of crows cawing outside to contend with, it's very discouraging. Miss Booth gladly welcomes any sug-estions. The latest one is, "Get a scarecrow!" Not bad for a start, we'd say. How many miles to Lynden is it? Like a stroll? Still wanderin' around [in the rain, and with a (slightly (?) water soaked rain, the Stroller says: "Won't you sit down? "No, thanks; I just can't tand sitting down."

The wind, kids and chits, drew a shaking breath and with effort caught a loose jet of sand from the Sphinx's feet into the withered hand of a man's man, lying on the burning sands of the Sahara. Feebly he closed his hand and let it trickle—the sand—through his fingers, and, kids and chits, he didn't pray for the CWA mud of Washington. He feebly nestled closer into the lap of the desert Sand that had tolled the death knell of the ages slowly engulfed his feet and crept up his frayed, blue denim breeches. Slowly he rolled until he faced the bleak rock of the Sphinx and muttered, "It cost me dear. But at last, thank God, I'm dry." And slowly, wind muttering tender imprecations, covered him there, parched, dead, and happy—the" man. Campi Coast to Coast When Paris picked Venus for the Queen of Love and Beauty, was he doing the right thing? According to the male contingent in the college, Helen of Troy's boy friend didnt know the first thing about the ultimate in feminine charm. Among the various types of women in the world, which one appeals most to Joe College? There is the athletic type who beats you in every competitive game, and looks like the girl on the spinach ad. Then there is the other extreme who flutters her eyelashes like an awning in the breeze, likes ice cream in 40-cent portions, and balances herself on four-inch heels like a trapeze artist. The intellectual type is the most scorned. She raises her left eyebrow when you mispronounce a word, and then slowly with emphasis, give you an inferiority complex by saying it with insinuating casualty—the correct way. What, then, is the ideal of the college boy?. As one fellow very aptly stated it, "She must be feminine without a sugary taste; her voice must be low, her manner pleasant; she must be a good sport, but not a too-patient Gris-elda. She must have a genuine interest in some sports, have an average knowledge of literature, and be able to give her own opinion on the subject being discussed. She must be a good listener, and an interesting speaker; she must—" say, what did Venus have to brag about? . *.

College students from Oregon, Wasnlngton, Idaho, and two from the Orient were present at the conference. According to Lillian Martin the meetings were superb. "I'd heard that they were good, but they were much better than I had expected. I think that the speakers were especially stimulating." Leaders Speak on China Dr. T. Z. Koo, who came from China and was present from Tuesday through Friday, spoke about present conditions between China and Japan. Dr. Koo is a member of the World Student Christian Federation. Dr. Norman Coleman, Reed college, Oregon, spoke on "This Confusing World" and he, too, discussed the situation between China and Japan. Leader of the Bible Study class, Dr. Raymon Brooks, was well liked by the delegates. Rather than stressing the emotional aspect of Christianity, he dwelt on the analytical side. I n charge of the morning devotional service was Dr. W. O. Men-denhall, deemed more spiritual than others of the speakers. Other minor leaders had charge of group meetings and recreational groups. Rhythm Orchestra "We even had a rhythm orchestra," laughed Helen Monson. "It consisted of ten-cent store instruments, noise makers, and similar devices. It was certainly amusing, but it was very good, too." The program of the day included lectures in the morning, recreational activities and group'meetings in the afternoon, and more lectures and group singing in the evening. Smiling as she recalled the good times at Seabeck, Eunice Buck said, "I liked all of the conference—except the rain. Wet weather rather hindered the recreational program which had been so carefully planned. Helen Carlyle and I even went fishing, but when we found out we needed small crabs instead of worms for bait, we quit."

Manager Wilke of the Boosters says most of the games will be played at night under the flood lights of Battersby field. The Boosters squeezed out the Yakima Indians Sunday by the close score of 3 to 2. Bray did the hurling to Padavon, the regular receiver on the local team. The last inning was played in a downpour of rain. The next scheduled home game is at Battersby field, Saturday, June 26. Renton will provide the opposition. The Shrieveport Giants, a traveling negro team affiliated with the Kansas City Monarchs, will be featured against the Boosters under the lights on June 30. Wilke says this team plays an unusually interesting game. Boosters Tied for First Place Sixteen games have been played already this year. The Boosters won 11 and dropped 5 and are now tied with the Indians for first place in the Northwest league. The Indians have a higher percentage only because they have played more games. With 24 games to play, the Boosters still have an even chance of coming out on top of the league this fall. Floyd (Lefty) Isekite, star pitcher of the club, will pitch against Renton Saturday night. He has won 6 and lost 1 for the Boosters so far this year. 16 FLAVORS IN Brick and Bulk ICECREAM PACKED FREE IN DRY ICE To Last 4 to 8 Hours 15c D E L I V E R Y C H A R GE Any Place in City The ARDEN Store US E.

The president had appealed to the country not to send him back to power unless they gave him a comfortable majority over other parties so that he could put the new constitution into effect and complete its economic and political policies in the next five years. Early returns looked like a landslide for the de Valera party but eleventh hour losses changed the picture. It is predicted that de Valera may go to the country again in 1938 unless he can arrange a satisfactory alliance with the Labor party.

She has applied for admittance to the School of Science at the University of California at Berkeley in September. Miss Piatt expects to take advanced work in genetics, paleontology, and biology.

Robin Hood came to life this morning at 9:00 a. m. in the Campus Elementarly school assembly under the dramatization of the eighth grade pupils. The fifth grade, joint sponsors of the day's program, illustrated;. the story ,of how man learned to talk and write. To illustrate the highwayman's characteristics, the eighth grade children selected and dramatized two incidents of Robin Hood's life. The choice of their assembly theme was the indirect result of a study unit on England. The project began with the reading of The Observer, a London newspaper. In one of the issues was published a map of the British Isles, around which were pictures of England's famous characters. Such a map provided inspiration for research work in the children's library. The reading progressed to a study of ballads, among which was Robin Hood. Fifth graders were also sharing their quarter's experience in the social science with their schoolmates. One boy presented the story of the alphabet. The class in general explained the earliest means of communication and illustrated their work with shell, string, picture, and stick messages.

Mentally the peoples of this world have accepted the worthiness of the cause. Yes, we in the United States believe in peace, but we have little faith in it— not while we pay $32.00 per family each year for war preparations. Many of us proclaim our pacifist's intentions today, but what will be our stand tomorrow——in that tomorrow we all hope will never come—when this country again takes up arms? Will we believe in the cause of peace? Will we dare to affiliate ourselves with such a movement? Will we number ourselves among the conscientious objectors? They are a group who still are looked upon with scorn; yet had it not been for their activity in the last war, we would not be so much aware of "peace" today. To voice our opinions now causes us no hardship, neither does it make any demands upon our intestinal fortitude. To do the same .thing during a season of war when the temper of the nation is keyed to a high pitch of emotional 'patriotism' is another matter. How many peace time pacifists believe in the cause of peace strongly enough to be war time pacifists? Are we truly paying homage to the cause, or are we merely giving lip service? o Added incentive for packing up to Mt. Baker land tonight—Maybe the lady with the straw colored hair under he sombrero is Jean Parker. Auburn, you say? Well, this satisfies my surrealist sensibilities. (Though I wish she's wear it shorter). But to get back to the Baker trek—see that tree line in the distance? And beyond, the ice cream cone of Kulshan? Hollywood won't be the only crowd that wears goggles and grease paint tomorrow.

By Stroller One thousand cruising Americans went through Victoria and environs with gum and camera. Armed to the teeth with Wrigley's Wrappers and Afga-Anscos they trooped and shot their way through the wilds of But-chart's Gardens, snapped at the underbrush as they surmounted Observatory hill, and "took" themselves around town and over Beacon hill. In strict defiance to long-standing tradition, no one got sea-sick. "Oh, look, the ship's turning about! That's not right." "Why not? Turn about's fair play." " While music played in the dancing saloon, them as wanted to did their best to catch the floor which was becoming decidedly rhythmical and wanted to dance, too, but couldn't find a partner. Guessing games were popular. "Guess that must be Orcas island . . ." "Guess who I just saw on this tub . . ." "Guess we must be nearly there . . .") Others played hide and seek. ("Let's go outs-hide; I think I'm getting seek.") After three and a half hours of this and that, the Princess Victoria warped into dock, and the Beautiful City of Old England was at the mercy of the Hungry Horde. Some ate at the Empress hotel where they were served with lettuce and celery. Others ate at cafeterias and had soup. "What kind of soup did you have?" "I think it was rabbit soup; I found a hair in it." Still others strolled into Chinatown and ate Chow Mein, Chop Suey, and other Chinese dishes which, when they are brung, you wonder do you eat it or did you. A mad scramble was general after lunch as everybody crowded aboard busses and raced around the regular tours: complete with guide, tired feet, and sun-dry explanations. Other groups went alone and liked it. Not even the Parliamentary building where B. C.'s laws are made, nor the Museum where B. C.'s lores are kept was inviolate. "Did you have a good time?" Sure; I'm dog tired, ain't I?" Struggling and straggling through the customs and immigration, weary wanderers dragged aboard ship and slumped into the first convenient deck chair and went to sleep. A few hardy ones returned to playing tag with the dance floor, ran around the boat, or sought other forms of entertainment. There's ho time like the pleasant! The Stroller . .

They have one daughter, age seven. Mrs. Granger was graduated from the two-year course in 1924, returning the next year to obtain her three-year diploma. After graduation she spent one year at West Port, near Aberdeen, two years at Forest Glade in Snohomish county, and then went to Big Lake where she now teaches the primary grades and English in the seventh and eighth grades. While at the College, Mrs. Granger was president of the WAA, active in all women's sports, and a member of the orchestra. At Big Lake, she has continued her interest in sports, and is president of the Bellingham District of the Christian Endeavor. Granger finished the two-year course in 1926. Summers spent at the University of Southern California and WWC, where he returned each summer since 1931, have earned him sufficient credits to get his degree at the end of this session. After commencement, he taught for two years in Forest Glade, then moved to Big Lake where he is now teaching the seventh and eighth grades. Besides his interest in tennis, Granger shows musical ability. While in school he was a member of the orchestra, and glee club, occasionally singing in assemblies. He was also a member of the rec hour orchestra. He is now a member of the faculty quartet of the Sedro- Wolley high school, and also plays the piano accordion.

Having served as Viking associate editor and business manager, and as freshman reporter and organization editor of the Klipsun, he knows what reporting is all about. After his graduation in 1935, this personality taught for a year in the departmental school at Friday Harbor, giving instruction in reading and languages in the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth grades. The next year he moved to River-ton heights, outside of Seattle, where he taught the fourth and fifth grades. This fall he will return to the same position, though the teaching will be done in a new building in a consolidated setup renamed Boulevard park. His hobbies, besides newswriting, are music and stamp collecting. He may be found most of the time in Miss Erickson's room, working on Remedial teaching. He, too, may be listed in the ranks of "degree" workers.

Remember Our Location NUF SAID MIMI Third Mate of 'Djambi', Dutch Motor Ship, a Fluent Talker; Prefers Western Hospitality to Eastern EDITOR'S NOTE—This interview was written last quarter by one of the students of the advanced journalism class. Because of the evident interest in sea life among the summer school students, the interview has been published. By Jack Carver "Hospitality on the West Coast is way past that of any existing on the Eastern seaboard," complimented Third Mate H. Bynbergen of the Dutch motorship "Djambi" which recently lifted a cargo of pulp at the Municipal dock, Bellingham. The mate and his companion, the fourth officer, were willing talkers and soon gave enough information to fill a book. The former, a ruddy complexion-ed, middle-sized mariner, about 35 years of age, has been third officer on the Djambi for five years. He, like all other Dutch seamen of that line, the Silver-Pacific-Java, started out his career as an apprentice, working at that job for one year before taking an examination for fourth mate's position, followed at regular two year intervals by third, second, and first mate papers. Speaking in a quick Dutch-English brogue, Rynbergen sadly revealed that he "had been sailing the seas for 18 years, long enough to be captain twice, but was still only a third mate." Third Mate Explains Duties When asked of his duties aboard the vessel, he threw back his broad shoulders and said, "For eight hours a day I have watch—from 8 to 12 a. m. and from 8 to 12 p. m. I look after the cargo and every three months inspect the life boats and give the sailors exams and practice in life boat maneuvers. At sea, I shoot the stars and the sun for the ship's position. Being a third mate," he continued, "takes a lot of study in books." Later he proved this when he exhibited a few of his books, truly an intricate collection of scientific data that would stagger the ordinary person.

Reporters Swallow Big One The mate told a good one with which the crew had beguiled some Australian reporters while in port there. The* newspapermen had inquired if the crew had seen any wonders of the sea during their travels. Deviltry broke out, and the newshounds were solemnly told of a monster albatross which had two heads, one white and the other black. Evidently that bit of news floored the Australians for the next day a story under the caption, "Wonders of the Sea!" came out, relating in awed tones the startling incident. (Bight now two American reporters are wondering what they were beguiled with.) "I remember the longest trip I ever made," reminisced Herr Bynbergen. "It was the last one from Java to Boston. We were 35 days at sea and the only land we saw was the Cape of Good Hope. To make things worse, we ran into many storms and the weather changed from cold to hot, and from hot to cold. But "we're glad to be here now. Say, is this going to be in a newspaper. Yes, well you save a copy for us, and we'll see you next fall on our return."

Carver Sport news around here, and elsewhere, too, seems to be about nil. Anyway, this writer and his three assistants went on a big news hunting spree and what resulted from our quest follows. Russell McPherson, whom Coach Carver claims to be the best fullback ever put out at WWC, came back and paid his former teacher a visit last week. "One reason for his greatness" Carver recalled, "was in the CPS game at Battersby field Way back in 1923. There were 30 seconds to go and the game was tied, 7-7, and we had the ball on the CPS 40-yard stripe, but you couldn't tell there Was a stripe because there were three inches of water on the field. Well, Mac got back there and kicked, that ball straight through the bars for a 10-7 victory. It was the longest field goal ever kicked by a WWC player." PICKUPS This Foster Porter that the Boosters picked up from the Sacramento Coast league club, looks like a comer. He has speed, change of pace, and looks as if he knew something about pitching Guess some of those movie stars can really play tennis. See that Charlie Chaplin and Ellsworth Vines beat Grou-cho Marx and Fred Perry 6-1, 9-7... Umpire Campbell, of the Western International league, resigned on account of the near-riot at a recent game in Lewiston, Idaho. He had to have a big police escort to get off of the field. Some fun, eh? . . . The Newark club of the Yankees' farm chain is 16% games in the lead in the International league. The players have to do their best if they ever want to break into the powerful Yankee outfit . . . Hurley Boggess got his big hit in the pinch, sure enough. He swatted a homer with the bases full down at the U. of W. last week to help WWC win. Coach Chuck Lappenbusch, of WWC and a student at the U this summer, umpired that game, and was he heckled! OVERHEARD Notes from the Viking-Husky bas- UW Gives Beating To Summer Basket-bailers, 64-45 Game Wide Open; McBeath And McClurken Head W WC Taking on the aspect of a major bombardment, Monday's basketball engagement between the U of W and WWC at Seattle, ended in a defeat for the Vikings when the Washington squadron shelled Admiral Carver's charges—64 to 45. A hard running forward by the name of Bates was the fly in the Viking soup. He was held to 8 points in the first half, but r a n wild under the basket to score 12 in the second. Zeke McClurken and McBeath were high pointers for WWC with 10 and 13 points respectively. Zeke's shots were of the mortar variety— starting near mid-court, zooming into tHe attic stratosphere, and swishing through the hoop. McBeath wasted no time on loopers— he rattled 'em in on a line. The lineup: WWC U of W Tomco 4.. RF. Bates 20 Skotheim 2 Boyd 3 McClurken 10 LF.

" he struck him out—and the last half of the ninth inning is over—and the ball game is over— and WWC wins 14 to 4." "Ladies and gentlemen, if you have just tuned in, let me say that you have missed a swell ball game."

Three former WWC athletes got in the Vikings' hair. They were Carboneau, Dixon, and Denton. Dixon is a basketball sweater winner here . . . Carboneau wanted to know where Zeke McClurken got so many elbows (guess he was having a tough time taking Zeke's fouling) . . . Tomco, McClurken, Thorsen, and Skotheim all lost about five pounds while playing in the big pavilion. It was over 90 degrees in the place . . . There could have been a better referee for the classic, many fouls being overlooked . . . Roger Mullen batted number 2 and hit around .400 in the Whitman county league this spring. Quite a slugger-he hit a homer with the bases full. He would be a help to some team in the Community league here . . . Ducks Leave Lily Pads; Carver Is Hot To look at the score one would think that Scotty Skotheim's Ducks had come out from amid the lily pads and water-bugs to sneak up behind Tomco's wild Tomcats and smack 'em on the ear so bad that the Cats went down to their first defeat. But it was a different story, altogether, although the score book reads Ducks 14, Cats 10. It seems that Scotty could muster only four of his Ducks (the other one was taking his swimming lesson and learning how to swan in the new pool) together and by the rules, if five men aren't on the floor, the game must be forfeited, and so it was. But overweight Skotheim, Shelton, and McCleary decided they didn't want to diet, so called for a practice game, getting Coach Sam Carver to play for the Ducks. Carver stole the show from his former pupils, garnering 8 points to lead the scoring. The subs even had to referee, Dale Courtney doing most of the whistle-tooting, and there was a lot of it, the boys really getting in there and mixing it up.

Such ingratitude on the part of the Chinese is sickening. Japanese newspapers are asking "immediate decisive action" by peace or war in the North China crisis. Although the newspapers had previously maintained a moderate attitude they are crying for blood and the inauguration in North China of a regime "willing and capable of bringing peace." The Japanese cabinet has just appropriated $2,890,000 to tend to that little matter since the situation "does not permit further procrastination." o COURT BILL Continued Washington, D. C. a c t i v i t y by July 17 President Roosevelt relative to the Court bill came as a blow to the opposition, who seemed to feel that the death of Senator Robinson should be a good point at which to sidetrack the bill. But the President says "no," and threatens to keep Congress in session all summer— a horrible sentence indeed. Feeling on the question is as turbulent as ever and Congress is fairly evenly divided. The opposition has adopted a very shocked and moral tone relative to the re-opening of the controversy before Senator Robinson s funeral Monday. o DEATH Guglielmo Marconi, Rome, Italy wireless inventor, died July 20 suddenly at his home' as a result of a heart attack. Although he has been in ill health for the past two years, his condition was seemingly good during this week. Prior to his death, Marconi's interest was divided between the new building for the national research institute of which he was president, and the installation of a new high powered radio station in the Vatican. o WOODWORKERS In special, ses- Tacoma, Wn. sion last Monday July 19 , the Woodworkers, under the leadership of Harold Pritchett, voted to affiliate with the CIO. Attempting to avoid regimentation, Pritchett announced that those locals who did not wish to affiliate could join with the great majority of member unions of the international who did not express opinions in a referendum on the CIO question. Harry Bridges, dynamic leader of the ILA and west coast representative for CIO was present at both sessions. He was given an enthusiastic welcome when he rose to speak. -0 GOODBYE And n 0 W, my WWC friends ejcy you will ; July 22 all read the newspapers for yourself no doubt.

Coming Programs Include • Music, Lectures Crawford, Wiik Will Sing; Sedgewick, Raup, Davidson Will Deliver Lectures Assembly programs for the coming five-weeks' quarter include several entertainers new to WWC, and many return engagements. A varied list of musicians, speakers, and vocalists will make their appearance on the platform during the quarter. Bellingham Soprano Presented On Tuesday, July 27, Nan Dybdahl hviik, soprano, accompanied by Chauncey Griffith, will appear in a program of songs. Mrs. Wiik has repeatedly been well received at WWC. Both artists are Bellingham people. Friday, July 30, will introduce the College Chorus, under the direction of Mr. Nils Boson. Mr. Floyd W. Schmoe, lecturer, will speak on deep-sea life on Tuesday, August 3. His lecture, entitled, "I Live Under the Sea," will be illustrated with motion pictures. Robert Crawford Returns "The Flying Baritone," Robert Crawford, will return to Bellingham on Tuesday, August 24. Crawford, also known as "Alaska's Favorite Son," is highly regarded by critics for his dramatic presentation of his songs and his great freedom on the platform. Friday, August 6, will bring Frank Davidson, whose lecture will be on Rudyard Kipling. August 10, Dr. G. G. Sedgewick . of... the U. of B. C, will lecture. Other August assemblies will include George MacNabb, pianist; Dr. Bruce Raup, of Columbia University; and the Rink Quartette. o Informal Assembly Given By Campus School Informal drama held sway in the CampuV Elementary assembly given by the seventh and third grades Tuesday morning at 9:00 a. m. Seventh graders gave a dramatization of a travel bureau. Into the bureau came different families seeking advice on vacation lands. Data was provided, especially on Hawaii and Alaska. Sale of tickets also was in evidence. The dialogue was based on information the children learned in their work during the past six weeks. Third graders dramatized three stories for the assemblage. Although the children have acted the stories in the class room many times before the actual presentation, no one was assigned a definite part until Monday morning. At that time members of the class selected whom they wanted to represent the characters. None of the lines were memorized. o All-School Trip Planned For Heather Meadows Many .people who have longed to be in the movies may come close to the achievement "of their desire on Saturday, July 24, at Heather Meadows. A school trip is scheduled to leave at 7:00 a. m. Saturday morning from the College campus for an all-day trip. Part of this group will go to Lake Ann for breakfast and part will go directly to Heather Meadows. Paramount Pictures Inc. have set up a village to be used in filming "The Barrier." Those who make the Saturday trip will be able to see the village and perhaps some of the actors. Moffatt Leaves WWC After Eighteen Years By C. H. Fisher Miss Mildred V. Moffatt, of the Training school staff, has resigned her position^ and will retire from teaching. Miss Moffatt joined the faculty in the autumn of 1918, and during a period of nineteen years has taught in the first, second and third grades of the Training school. Throughout these years Miss Moffatt has been..a careful student of the problems connected with the education of children in the primary grades. She has always taught children and students with a fine insight and understanding of her work. Students who have been fortunate enough to come under her supervision have had "great confidence in her ability and knowledge of educational problems with children. Her colleagues in the Training school and the rest of the faculty who have known her work have had the highest regard for her as a teacher of children and students. Miss Moffatt is leaving her position with a host of friends among children, students, and members of the faculty who have a fine appreciation of her work that has been well done. These many friends entertain the best of wishes for her and hope that she msjiy realize much enjoyment and satisfaction from her activities in the future. •• • Placements Made Through Bureau Teaching contracts have been offered to ten WWC graduates during the past fortnight through contacts made by the appointment office. The total positions contracted number 110 at the present time. The greatest demand was for teachers trained in primary methods and most of these appointees will go to rural schools.

Registration Begins Monday; Many Remain Enrollment Mark for Second Quarter Soars; Fees Levied Registration and classes for the second term of the summer quarter will commence Monday morning at 8:00 a.-m., July 26, at WWC. Between five and six hundred students are enrolled for the next half of the session. This enrollment figure is higher than any in previous years. Many more students are remaining for both terms than have ever done before. There are also a number of new students who are also entering. Students who have- enrolled for the second term of the quarter and who decide not to remain must withdraw officially through the Dean's office. Otherwise, they will be given failing grades in the courses for which they are registered. Those who have not enrolled for the second term but who decide to stay should enroll in the Dean's office. A fee of fifty cents is charged for one change in the program, and one dollar for a complete change. o Juniors, Seniors Overflow College Campus 125 students of the 912 enrolled at WWC this quarter hail from points outside the state boundary line of Washington. Eighty per cent of those registered are upper division students (juniors and seniors). .Fifteen states, Alaska, and British Columbia are represented. Oregon tops the list with fifty-three, Alaska comes second with 28, and Montana is third with 19. North Dakota is not far behind with 13 representatives. Idaho has eleven, South Dakota claims 7 students, and Minnesota six. British Columbia and Nebraska each have three; Illinois and Iowa two each; Kansas, California, Nevada, Wisconsin and Wyoming, one. 33 out of 39 counties in this state are represented. Listed according to classes, WWC has 37 freshmen, 72 sophomores, 412 juniors, 295 seniors, and 817 graduates. The remainder are special and unclassified students. Of the 412 juniors, 144 are candidates for three-year diplomas. Among the 295 seniors, 46 are eligible for four-year diplomas and degrees. Twentieth Year Of Service At WWC Completed By Miller and Kibbe; Miller fs Who's Who Elite; Kibbe Older Dr. Irving Miller and Mr. L. A. Kibbe are completing their twentieth year of work at WWC. Both came here in September, 1917, Dr. Miller as head of the education and physchology department and Mr. Kibbe as a member of the same department. Dr. Miller received the degree of Bachelor of Arts from the University of Rochester in 1894; the degree of Doctor of Philosophy from University of Chicago in 1904 but he never regards his education as complete.' His name has been included in Who's Who in America since 1909. He regards most highly two unsolicited letters of commendation on his book, Psychology of Thinking, from Schiller and James. Mr. Kibbe entered WWC as a student in 1903. He was a student under Mathes and an instructor under all the rest of the presidents of the college. He said, "I've enjoyed working here under the inspiring leadership of all these men." Mr. Kibbe saw the erection of the dorm, the library, the P. E. building and the development of the athletic field from a swamp to its present status. Mr. Kibbe took his B. S. from Linfield College; B. A. from University of Washington; M. A. from Columbia and two years of graduate work beyond his M. A.

When one out of every 10 persons in the United States has syphilis, when the disease is listed fifth as a cause of death, when this plague is definitely known to be on the increase, it is small wonder that the medical profession launches a campaign to stamp out venereal disease. Syphilis is a modern scientific medical problem. 10% to 15% of all forms of insanity and locomotor ataxia are the direct results of syphilis. Blindness and deafness are two more chronic diseases resulting from this plague of plagues. Many deaths attributed to heart disease, nephritis, and paralysis can be credited to the pestilence. Nevertheless, despite the number of innocent victims (the number has been put as high as 15% to 50%), the fact must be faced that a large portion of these infections are acquired through direct exposure. Eradication depends on an aroused and educated public and removal of the stigma of shame and moral turpitude that has been attached to it. No longer can we afford to talk in hushed tones and whispers. The question must be brought out into the open where it can be discussed freely, frankly, and sanely. The public must be educated. The populace must understand the facts and recognize symptoms of the disease, for if syphilis is treated at the primary stage, chances are 85% to 90% for a complete cure. OUR FIELD IS EDUCATION. o CONGRATULATIONS! Congratulations are due the business manager and his assistant for the fine piece.of work they have done this summer. The business manager has turned in an average of 80 inches of advertising per issue, an increase of 18 inches over the average made by other business managers during'the past year. o THANK YOU Thanks to the staff for the browbeating they have so gracefully taken this past six weeks.

"Remember in making jokes, there's only a coma's difference between man's laughter and manslaughter." Confusions. There once was a man named the Stroller, A tall, thin man, quite an extoller.

"No, my illustrious son, a coo-coo bird is noifli pigeon." The Stroller Ft oram As a student who attends this college during the regular school year, I have heard a great deal of criticism of the student body as an audience. This criticism is rarely given the older students in attendance summer quarter. During the regular school year, we adopted the plan of waiting for a signal from the chairman before leaving our seats. It should not be necessary for college students, but it is, and this summer's group of respectable school marms is no exception. If this plan had been followed last Friday, our performers would not have witnessed such a display of discourtesy and bad taste. They would have responded to the enthusiastic applause of a majority of the students with the encore that most of us wanted. Campi Coast to Coast MARRIAGE IN A NUTSHELL Hearts. Diamonds, Clubs.

Four men were the victims this week. Three of them will get their degree this summer, the other will receive his principal's certificate. Three of them are interested in dramatics; all of them like outdoor life. Their stories and hobbies are as varied as their personalities. We'd like to present . . . Former WWC Actor Teaching- on Peninsula For seven years Franklin Lock, who received his four-year certificate from WWC in 1930, being one of the first to get his degree in 1933, has taught on the Olympic peninsula at the consolidated school in Chimakum. The location makes it possible for him to indulge in his love of the sea. Besides leading'the sea scouts, he spends much time in his seventy-five foot yacht. Before his graduation, Lock was prominent in dramatics, taking the lead in several plays, including "Seven Keys to Baldpate." He was also a member of the Philoma-theans and lighting expert of the stage crew. The recently married teacher is a member of the Schoolmaster's club. While working for extra credits, he is also spending his honeymoon at WWC. Hero of Plays To Receive Degree Dramatics interest Randy Ober-latz, the.blond young man who will receive his degree this summer and then go to Bellingham's Whatcom Junior high school to teach mathematics and oral expression. Students who were in school a few years ago will remember him in "The Admirable Creighton" and "Children of the Moon." and for t h e Bellingham Theater Guild he has played lead* in "The Pigeon," "Her Husband's Wife," "As Husbands Go," "The Rivals" and "No More Frontier." When his dramatics, hunting and fishing interests permit, Oberlatz, who was graduated from the two-year course in 1929 and received his three-year diploma in 1935, teaches in the Bellingham school system. Western Thrift Store C U T R A T E DRUGS COSMETICS, SUNDRIES and TOBACCO Cornwall and Holly For five years he taught in the departmentalized school at Sumas. After serving there as principal for two years, he moved to Bellingham, where he has been an instructor in Roeder Junior high school for the past two years. St an wood Principal Collects Old Firearms Interested in firearms, in a very nice way of course, Charles Powell, principal of the elementary school at Stanwood, hunts and collects antique guns. Before graduating from WWC's two-year course in 1921, he was president of the dramatic club, dramatic editor oimhe Klipsun, a member of the casts* of the junior and senior plays, a member of the community players, and also turned out for baseball and track. Powell, who has returned to work for his degree, having already obtained his life diploma, taught his first year at Kelso, then moved to a principalship at Toutle Lake. He has organized and coached high school graduates in the various sports, and coaches plays for service clubs. Marblemount Teacher To Get Principal's Certificate Earl Balch, who graduated from this school in 1924 after completing the two-year course, will receive his principal's credentials and third-year diploma this August. He has taught since his graduation at the South Bend departmental' school and at the two-room school at Marblemount. Balch, whose hobbies are hunting and fishing, may also be found at the community basket socials, club meetings and plays.

By Nelson and Kluge We filled out some blank Viking press cards and boldly approached the bewhiskered guard. For four hours, under a blazing mountain sun, we had been laboring over the rocky meadows attempting to get a look at the filming of the Harry Sherman production, "The Barrier." The title is very appropriate as it concerns everyone who attempts to go near the place:' The guard is always there, but before he could say "get tha' H a mile and a half away," we had confidently waved our forged press cards under his nose. To our surprise and pleasure, he offered no argument but motioned us up the hill toward the set. We came within 50 feet of the coveted bunch of cameramen, technicians, sound men, lights, and actors, when the director waved us back. This gettin' shoved and kicked around the mountain was tiresome. Silence! We sat down on a knoll and sweated over our misfortune as we obeyed all signals for absolute quiet We were near enough to the set to want to be just a little closer. A cameraman stepped out from the circle filming the picture. We hailed him, presented our press cards Holywood be praised! They worked.

The scene: Jean Parker and Jimmy Ellison are just getting up early in the morn from their pallets under a big tree. Jimmy thinks Jean good looking, crawls over to her on hands and knees, and pecks her lightly on the forehead. He thought she was asleep. She wasn't. She liked it though. Microbe Sneezes That's the way the script read, but in the actual filming things didn't work so nice. They had to retake it four or five times because of foreign noises and Parker's horsing around. One time a fellow scratched his back, another time a bird hiccupped, and a third time a microbe sneezed. They had to do the scene over each time. Jean Parker was nearly as bad as the hiccupping bird and the sneezing microbe. Every time Jimmy kissed her, she laughed and spoiled the scene. Laughing at this paricu-lar moment wasn't in the script; she was supposed to be thrilled. The director didn't laugh. He was mad. He warned her to behave once; she didn't. He warned her a second time; she didn't. She laughed during a third retake, and with an oath the director yelled "cut it," dove for Jean and, take it or leave it, he spanked her. Jean behaved from then on.

Carver Well, here it is, folkses, the end of the term and the end of this summer Viking. Yep, this is the finis. What has been done in the way of sports—intramural and otherwise— here at WWC? Getting Morcof, the mental wizard, to come with me, we lay under a big fir tree and he brought back all that had gone before. I jotted it down and here it is: Tomco's great Tomcats were the cream of the crop, making a clean sweep of the league. The Vikings came out ahead in their three meetings with the U. of W. at Seattle, winning two out of three. WWC won the golf match, 9-6, swamped them, 14-4, in softball, but took a beating in the hot basketball pa- -vilion, 64-45. Swimming took a big jump in popularity over the last three quarters. Women's athletics were above par. The tennis ladders sort of fizzled out, but Forrest Hawley is out tefling all about how lie won the thing (he won the only game he played, and no others bothered to play). The golfers were led by Occie Thorsen, Clint McBeath and Homer Morris. And then my fran Morcof left me while I was dozing, so that's all, now. Pickups Jerry Robinson is said to be one swell of a softball hitter, but is a little weak on the handling of balls in the shortstop position. He has hit 5 out of 7 for the Cascade Laundry team against fastball pitching . . . Pete Nagrodski, the handsome footballer and clerk of the Bellingham Drug, will soon have for himself an airplane operator's license if all goes well. . . . This writer has lost all hope for the Seattle Indians. What they need is a lot of new players, especially pitchers . . . Mike Pecarovich, the Gonzaga football coach, doesn't know whether to continue his coaching or to take a job in the movies. He just finished "Double of Nothing" with his friend, Bing Crosby. Marion Oppelt, a student at WWC a few years ago, made his 1937 Wilke Confident Of Victory After Win Over Olympia Ralph Wilke's Boosters clubbed out a 7 to 5 win over the Solons of Olympia under the lights of Bat-tersby Field Saturday night. They got most of their runs in the early inning off the knuckle ball delivery of old Bill Libke. The Boosters will play two games against the league leading Yakima Indians on Thursday and Friday evenings. Wilke is planning to count coup on both of these games, figuring that they are only another ball club to be knocked over. * * * "Junior" Bobby Feller, the school boy pitcher sensation of last year is earning the new moniker of "hard luck pitcher." He has lost his last three starts and has failed to win since his enforced vacation due to a shoulder ailment. DiMaggio beat him 5 and 1 when he blasted out a home run with three team mates aboard at Cleveland Sunday. o debut in the Northwest league for Renton last week by striking out 13 men to win 6-5 over Bremerton . . .

WHATCOM COUNTY DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION PHONE 314 Basketball Ends With Tomco Ahead Of Pack Post-Season Game July 2 9; Carver Scouts Track Prospects Wednesday's games were the last of this summer's intramural basketball. Tomco's Cats lost no gamts and are declared champions of summer school basketball. Coach Carver will pick a team to play a return game with the University of Washington here on July 29. The U won the first game on their floor so the local boys would like very much to even up the score by winning this one. Softball will take the place of basketball during the next six weeks. Teams will be chosen by captains named by Coach Carver. Intramural games will be run off in much the same order as the basketball games were conducted this six weeks. Even though ten men are required per team Carver expects enough men out to make three1 or more teams. All men interested should turn out this week or early next week because a game is scheduled with Seattle at 3:00 oclock Thursday, July 29. Carver just returned from a tour through the Aberdeen, Grays Harbor territory, where he interviewed 25 men, all potential talent for the '37 and '38 term at WWC. Among those interviewed were Hoode, Hul-der and Johnson, all of state-wide high school track renown.

Fall quarter, with its football schedule, Homecoming, dance c 1 a sses, Thanksgiving recess,, not to mention the entering of the Frosh, is perhaps filled with more student activity than any other. It is with a great deal of pleasure that we note an increase in enrollment which means more student funds with which to begin the years activity. Enrollment figures to date seem to indicate that our college is returning to pre-depression levels. Our advice to the Frosh is that they strive for class solidarity and organization, a thing sorely needed on our campus at the present time. In order to attain this end it will be necessary that they exercise great care in selecting 6IMS atttemylifi their coming election. In conclusion, our wish to that all students, both Frosh and'upper classmen, will enjoy the whole school term and enter all activities ^rlUch havebeenprovidedi both nca-demic and extra-curricular. Jjflae West Comedy ^Op West Young Man, Go West," known to Broadway audiences as '^Personal Appearance," will be presented by the Drama department this quarter.

Judging by past rt to have a lar^ tura Northwest Prodigy Here Friday; Plays Concerto Best A spot of violin playing next Friday and a bit of student assem-blying on Tuesday constitute the final program plans for the second week of the new 1937 stretch of college life. The front office was unable to give any definite idea of the Tuesday set-up beyond promising a full session of "loose-ends." The Inter-club council assembly was originally scheduled for that date before a last-minute switch was made. Friday's talent will be a Northwest prodigy, Viola Wasterlaln, from Tacoma. Miss Wasterlaln is especially noted for a rather realistic rendition of Jean Sibelius' violin concerto in D minor, having once received personal recognition from the European maestro for the manner in which she treated his favorite violin composition. Following her appearance at WWC, the violinist will journey directly to New York, where in the near future she will submit her concerto interpretation to the audience of Town Hal}. Accompanying Miss Wasterlaln on the piano win be Alice Spencer Weiws. • .

Alice Siemons, president of the Ih-terclub Council, was in charge of the arrangements made at an. ICC meeting Wednesday. The larger part of the evening was given over to the discussion of club activities for the coming year. Speakers of the evening were: Betty Swisher, president of WAA; Don Zylstra, president of Associated Students; Dr. C. C. Upshall, who* has been making a study of the value of extra-curricular activities; Dr. Kuder, new dean and personnel director of the college. Clara VanderGriend played several piano •fOlOBV^/- 695 Students Enrolled At Last Count Most Freshmen in Years Final Tabulation Might Reveal 800 Students, Fisher Says; More Classes Opened With about 695 student body tickets in the pockets of registered col-legiates at 1:00 o'clock Thursday, and with the dean's office amply filled by further applicants for entrance into WWC, it was almost a certainty today that the fall registration count for 1937 would hit 750 or more before the various office staffs draw a normal, unhurried breath again next Friday at the close of a fortnight of unceasing toil. The income of freshmen is the big element this fall with the largest class in dozens of quarters already signed up. Due partly to the abnormal influx of these and partly to numbers of upper classmen enrolling for first year subjects, it has been necessary to add several extra class periods to accommodate the first-year newcomers. Exact Count Friday An exact count will be made at the end of the second week of school after the usual attendance fluctuations have steadied down slightly. The. unusual amount of vacilliations and changes in programs and courses is a perennial characteristic of WWC, making it more difficult to give any definite idea of attendance marks in the first week of school. o or ects Journal Staff' Swinging his Viking reporters into a smooth working machine, Editor Clarence Soukup today selected his editorial staff for'"'the 1937 fall quarter. Earl Eckert, appointed last spring by the board of control, has assumed the duties of the business manager. Don Gooding, editor of the Freshmen Openers, and famous for his front page column, has been selected as news editor. Jack Carver, veteran sports scribe, will head that department with James Taylor as his assistant. Only two women have been selected to. fill positions on the Viking editorial staff. Betty Bow-dish, writer of Campi Coast to Coast for several quarters, will fill the copy editor's role, while Lucille Lee, the other female representative, will head the Society department. The Art section will be headed by Forrest Hawley, noted for his Stroller column and also the undefeated champion of the summer tennis tournament. Hawley will be assisted by Jean Hatch. Dick Fowler, feature editor under the Kluge regime, will continue in that position. "I believe my staff to be as'good or better than any previous Viking editorial staff," says the editor. "We promise a paper with lots of pep and vigor." Band Uniforms Make Big Debut Tonight Bushell Plans Big Year Instruments Needed for Recruits Knittel Selected as Drum Major Funk to Handle Equipment Clad in their new uniforms, WWC bandsmen will make their initial appearance of the season at the football game this evening under the Battersby field lights. Recruiting new members tand the tailoring of the uniforms has been going on rapidly all week, according to bandmaster Bushell, but there is still the need of instruments in certain sections to secure a better balanced organization. The uniforms are a blue gaberdine trimmed with white. Pershing caps and white Sam Browne belts are featured throughout, all metal equipment being silver in color. New glassine folios for use in heavy weather have been purchased to insure protection of musical scores. "An extensive program of marching formations, and other drills is planned for fall quarter," says Mr. Bushell. Clayton Knittel will take over the duties of the student drum major, a position filled last year by May-nard Ponko. Norman Funk, office assistant to Bushell, has had charge of the checking of equipment. All students playing instruments or wishing to join the band are urged to see the bandmaster at once. o Card Stunts At Tonight's Game Bleacher card stunts under the direction of Ralph Neil and performed by the Frosh will be featured between halves tonight at the football game with PLC. All card maneuvers will be performed in a section twelve tiers high and manned by one hundred fifty-six Frosh rooters. This will be the first opportunity for the entering class to demonstrate their ability in contributing to Associated Students activities. Seas of cards have been prepared for use at each game on the Viking home schedule and colored displays will be put on during the half-time intervals if the weather is satisfactory. All Freshmen entering the card section this evening are asked to read carefully the small printed cards giving the card section procedure and to pay special attention to the rules numbered from four to eight. "We are urging all Freshmen to be seated in the section reserved for them this evening and assure them that they will find the stunts simple to perform, interesting, and really good fun." "Ushers will make all directions clear and gather the cards at the completion of the stunts," was the statement Neil released this morning. Little Girls Sing Songs, Play Games, At Annual Kid Party Wednesday By Frances Daley "The farmer in the dell, the farmer in the dell, heigh ho, the cheerio, the farmer in the dell—" and thus the "little girls" of WWC sang Wednesday evening when hundreds of women students attended the annual Frosh Kid party sponsored by the Women's League. The event was held in the gymnasium of the training school and a Babes in Toyland theme predominated. Costumes were a variety of youngster's togs, . short dresses, slacks and shorts. One of the climaxes of the; evening was Miss Countrymanis entering as "Popeye, the Sailor Man".

Editorial Openers The Viking editor and his staff welcomes the incoming students to the Western Washington College of Education. It is our sincere hope that you will enjoy this year as we have enjoyed those that have slipped by. The Western Viking is under a new regime. Many of the old veterans of the staff have sought new fields to conquer. Only a few remain. To those who have gone before us, the staff wishes luck in their new adventures. The incoming staff with its fresh batch of writers will try to carry on the work inaugurated by the former administrations. A PERSONAL TO THE STUDENTS This is your paper. If you don't like the way it or the school is run, make,use of the Forum column. It is there for that purpose. If you have a personal grievance, come to the Viking office yourself.

REMEMBER W.W.C.E. • •''-; Through the efforts of President Fisher : arid other delegates in a meeting with the Governor, die name of this institution was changed from Washington State normal school, or the more common Bellingham Normal, to Western Washington College of Education. In order that this name can become more firmly fixed, it is asked that you use it in conversations with friends and associates and even,in the letters written to me homefolks. Remember* Bellingham Normal is taboo! , This is your school. It will be what you make it. .When elections roll around, don't be bashful, come out and vote. When there is a game, make sure you are in the audience; when mere is a social affair, make your presence felt. If you are behind the school and will cooperate in all its/ undertakings, the 1937-38 year is sure to be a success. APOLOGIES AND BOUQUETS The Viking has to apologize that it could not publish all available news information. The business manager was too energetic. Earl Eckert came through with a new all-time record in securing ads for the first issue of the paper. We congratulate him. In order that the manager can keep up his successful campaign it is important that you patronize Viking advertisers. When you trade with a Viking backer, tell him you saw his ad in the college paper. Buy Viking! • : O* : •— Now rolls 'round that time of year when students, scholars, and freshmen run and in other ways precipitate themselves coUegeward.

A Freshman Speaks By Naomi Fossell One tiling, at least one thing, has tan* pressed the greenest of all freshmen. The friendliness of the college students and faculty. Everyone seems so wflttng to forget— or try to--that I am greener than grass. Maybe they're only polite. Incidentally, another minor thing that came up and struck me between the eyes was the abundance of roads on the hills. Of course they (the streets) must go down the hill in order to get us to. the bottom. But I d appreciate it if they didnt cover quite so much of the direction upwards. Trying to evade these hills, I resolved to ride up on a street car. My mistake in this couldn't even be excused in a green freshman (but Tm greener). I waited and waited. Then I waited some more for the street car on the wrong side of the street " One car stopped across the street for quite a while and the conductor rang his little bell several times. I stood out in the middle of the street on the opposite corner wondering what was holding up the car. Finally he gave up and went on up the hill, leaving this freshman behind in the street. Oh, yes, tests do catch the attention of the beginners. My poor high school will probably be degraded from now on. Mr. Bushell announced that they could see what our high school had been doing by the tests. The point that came into my mind was: is it the school's fault we didnt work hard enough to learn anything? Please, all you upper classmen, don't surrender all hope for the freshmen. Because, probably (I hope) the greenness will wear off in a reasonable or unreasonable length of time. o 77inr7^ :•• with Earl Eckert In ONE pic-swept to stardom and here she comes singing again, in her second great success.

Field Being Fixed The hew athletic field is being completed with top soil and grass seed will be sown. We expect to have the new field ready for use next spring. By using some space between the road and the running track of the old athletic field, we are increasing the parking'space on the campus. This is very desirable, especially for people who attend games in the new gymnasium. There are seven new members of the faculty, all of whom will help to strengthen our work in various departments. The Training School facilities have been enlarged by adding a ninth grade and organizing a junior high school. A speech clinic will be developed which will give attention to the development of the speaking voice and the correction of speech defects. This service will be offered to both students and children. We shall also aim to prepare teachers insofar as it is possible to deal with speech correction in children.

Small, slightly freckled, she would probably be unnoticed in a large crowd were it not for her bubbling personality and enthusiasm. Remember, dynamite comes in small packages. If you live at Edehs hall, you will remember her as the young lady who saw you safely escorted tc your rooms. It was her duty to see that you were well entertained at the fireside. With only one year behind her she has already accomplished feats that would make her the envy of any girl. During her Freshmen year she was house reporter for Edens hall. Head of the decoration and orchestra committee of the Freshmen Cadet party was also one of her titles. She was recently elected member of the Women's League leadership committee.

The three plays presented were: "When It's Spring Again"; "If Men Played Cards as Women Do"; and "The Wiving of Henry VIII". The first play, designed for lovers, showed quite definitely what happens "When It's Spring Again". Featuring a good deal of pantomime, the action led the boy and girl, Burbank Rideout and Elane Summers, to a park bench where, after they ran the usual gamut of emotions, true love finally triumphed. A satire for men. "If Men Played Cards as Women Do" offered Robert Sandall, Robert Clothier, James Nelson, and Burbank Rideout in the typically feminine atmosphere of the bridge table. Discussion included clothes, coiffures, and local gossip in a typically feminine manner. The historical play presented for the concluding act of the evening advanced the theory that humor is the best prescription for a successful marriage. "The Wiving of Henry VIII" as related by his wives, Jean Martin, Betty Gallant, Lillian Homer, Maxine Parke, Elane Sum mers, and Rose Brarcich, appear before Clara Schultz, a modern wife, who is leaving her husband, and through the stories they tell of their life with England's beheading husband convince her that she can return and make a success of her marriage. Don Bell and Jess Odell, both of Bellingham, and both attendants at the University of Washington last year, have enrolled here this year. J. C. PENNY CO.

WESTERN WASHINCTON ^LLEG FMm lt;®$$0$9M looking It Over— 1937 Version! • By Jack Carver When you see the football boys in their new uniforms tonight don't think that they forgot to put on their pants (trousers) over their new white underwear, because the white underwear is part of the set of new blue and white uniforms ordered this fall by Coach Lappenbusch. The unis have a satin front with this knit back which makes them streamlined for speed. In fact, the other equipment is also up to date—~Es-puire- ish—maybe. The headgears are baldish looking—egg white on top and blue around the ears. But the real reason for this outburst is that Lappy had a hand in the de signing of the material, his aim be ing to make it easier for the passer to see the pass receiver. Here's hoping the gridders dont stop in the middle of a touchdown drive to show off their togs like any woman Would do. This and That Lappy snapped any rumors of a Whitman game this year when he said., that,.. 'We've., already., got enough games on our schedule." . . . Last Sunday one of last year's star WWC footballers, Ernie Dzur-ick, passed and ran his Enumclaw Silver Barons to victory in the Northwest Football league. . . . Manford Chase, WWC golf veteran, was tied for second place in the Skagit County golf championships last week-end when he had to fall out, due to a tonsil operation. . . . Speaking of golf, Jeff Tesreau won the Grays Harbor championships last "June in a blaze of glory (he had his name in big headlines) . . . McKay, big tackle from Bremerton, seems to have acquired a severe case of homesickness, as he left for home after having had but one day of school . . . Our own Dr. Hicks is not only a master of literature and music, but is also an accomplished bicyclist—at least I saw him riding down Garden street the other day. Come on VIKINGS! . . . The score: Vikings, 6; PLC, 13. CREW MAN 'PUTS IN HIS OAR' - When asked about Can't Bust 'Em CAMPUS CORDS, Stroke Orr said: "They're snappy and in good form, they can hold t h e i r o w n against all comers. They're at least two b o a t - l e n g t h s ahead of all other trousers for wear. And they take to soap and water like a racing shell and finish' clean." $3.85, $4.85 and $5.50 GAGE-DODSON Clothing Co. 201 W. Holly St. Viking Sparkplug FRITZ CHORVAT Frank Chorvat, one of the hardest ball packing backs seen here for a long time, is expected by Coach Lappenbusch to be a spearhead in the Viking attack against PLC tonight. Chorvat was honored by this paper last year when' his picture in blue was superimposed on the Home Coming issue. The shifty halfback hails from Chicago. New Intramural Program Offered For Fall Track Offered For First Time; Tennis Dropped; Basketball Begins About November 1 With a range of sports as wide or even wider than that of previous years, intramural activity is scheduled to start next week. According to Sam Carver, Western Washington college athletic director, in charge of intramural sports this year, a diversified program will be arranged to offer athletic engagements to all men students. Several new fall activities will be added and some will be dropped, because of lack of interest in past years. In the fall sports curriculum, track will find a place for the thin-clads who find that the summer vacation has been too much ^f or their physical abilities as a runner and jumper. Carver feels that this activity will need no supervision or schedule, as it will be up to the individual who turns out. Equipment will be issued to those planning turnouts. Golfers Swing Again A golf tournament will again be held for non-lettermen at the Lakeway course. The gymnasium will be open three nights a week for badminton, volleyball, and basketball. No definite basketball activity will be arranged until after November 1. The new gym's swimming pool will be open three nights a week for those who find acquatic activity to their liking. The fall tennis tournament will be discontinued this year because of a scarcity of interested devotees. VikingsPdce Tough RangerFoeNext Lacey Team to Start Veteran Lineup In Coming Classic Back to make it five victories in a row over the Vikings, the St. Martins football team takes on Coach Charles P. Lappenbusch's charges here a week from tomorrow night at Battersby fieid. The Rangers are blessed with, a large number of the last year's starting lineup which drove hard and fast in the last stanza to overcome a 9 to 0 lead, to finally defeat the Viking grid machine 13 to 9.. In Nig Jundel, the Rangers have an especially good defensive end, pass receiver, and hard blocker. Tiny Schauman, who plays center on offense and left tackle on defense, is a hard man to get through because of his weight and strength. The Rangers also have two fast running guards tipping the scales at around 200 pounds each in Barney Brannigan and Bud Nester. Their speedy left half, Bill Sol-loway, hailing from Enumclaw, is a good passer and is also very shifty in an open field especially on long end runs. Fullback Herb Mars, who scored the winning touch down last year for St. Martins which defeated the Vikings, has shown fine defensive ability in the two games they have played this year. He is called upon to do the line bucking in the Notre Dame type formation which Joe Paglia, St. Martins coach and Santa Clara man of three or four years ago, uses. Paglia uses a wing-back out formation similar to the one used by Lappenbusch last year. Lappenbusch's formation against the Rangers will be a line and back field shift with balanced power to either side.

The small P a r k l a nd college, usually considered as a "breather" by the Western Vikings, h a s thrice LAPPENBUSCH u p s e t the dope bucket and spilled its contents en the Norsemen. In all three battles the Lutherans were outplayed but by queer quirks of fate always emerged on the long end of the score. Besides the mythology of the "jinx," tonight's battle has an added attraction in the fact that two former Vikings will be. playing in the Gladiators' starting lineup. Viking Stars With Gladiators Stener Kvinsland, sensational end discovered by Lappenbusch, and Fred Krueger, flash halfback, have transferred their credits and are now enrolled in the Tacoma institution. Stan Willis, another member of the 1936 squad, is also attending Pacific Lutheran college. Kvinsland, along with Hal Nilsen six-foot-five captain of the Gladiators, were rated by Tacoma papers as two of the best ends on the coast for small colleges. "With these two exceptionally good receiving ends we are afraid of their aerial attack," stated the Viking mentor. "The Lutherans have a heavier line and are a slight favorite to win." Lappenbusch refused to comment on the mythical jinx. Veterans in Lineup Veterans Ermin Holtzheimer, Leon Alpaugh, Leo Lange, Andy Maskie, Russ Davis, Ed Reischman, and Frank Chorvat have been named for starting berths. Vaughn Weber, a big 225 pound center, will try to fill the gap left by the Vikings' famous center, Ed Tomco. Two of the Valley boys, Tisdale and Rosentangle, will start in the Lutheran Star Stener Kvinsland (above), and Fred Krueger, 190 pound end and 158 pound fullback, respectively, on Coach Lappenbusch's WWC football team last year, will be fighting against the Vikings tonight when they lineup for PLC. backfield, while Kaye, a newcomer from Bremerton, will fill in at right tackle. Many other candidates will see action, including the college's new sensation, "Dakota" Osibov. The short pompadoured lad has shown up well on defense, along with Johhny Fox, veteran guard from last year.

Revision of talent sheets to make them more usable in placing Freshmen girls in activities was reported by Phyllis McNamee, chairman of leadership committee. o Triangles Plan For 'Be Aware' Year More Card Stunts New Site Promised by Neil; Section Praised "Card stunts at the Pacific Lutheran football game were really well performed and more than rewarded our efforts in putting them on," were the words of card leader, Ralph Neil, in describing the efforts of the card section. "Our only regret is that we didn't have a photographer present so we could show the occupants of the card section what they accomplished," he said. Neil also stated that the location of the cards would be changed to a point nearer the fifty-yard line thus. making it easier to have plenty of students to perform the stunts without asking them to change their seats. The game tomorrow night will see even more color than was the case Friday since a set of cards with St. Martins' colors will be used in addition to our own white and blue cards. The band will probably be used in conjunction with the cards tomorrow evening as an added feature Reasoner Names Yearbook Staff Honor Rating Awarded Thon's Annual Contest Sponsored by National Scholastic Press Association; Hostetter, Business Manager First Class Rating Junior-Senior Pictures Schedule For Next Week; Football Also on Slate Holding their first meeting this quarter, the cabinet of the Blue Triangle met with their president, Alice Siemons, at the club house last Monday to discuss plans for their first club meeting.

Instead of regular positions being filled this fall for the Klipsun a staff has been appointed to cover the work in general. Regular positions will be assigned Spring quarter, ' according to the work done. This will leave room for additions and changes in the crew in order to get an efficient group. Miss Reasoner states that she is pleased with the many applications for positions, and that it was difficult to choose from them. Compulsory meetings for the staff will be held twice a month. Starting as soon as possible next week, Junior-Senior class and Football pictures will be taken. Notices will be posted on the bulletin board. Faculty pictures will be taken in their offices next week also. "Last year the Klipsun won first class rating. Excellent score was given to the personality section and general effect due to the snapshots turned in. We hope this year to have an even better turn-out of photographs. Students are requested to submit any photographs or snapshots they have,' stated the editor. First class honor rating has been awarded the 1937 Klipsun, WWC's yearbook, in the 1937 critical service conducted by the National Scholastic Press Association. The annual, edited by Margaret Thon and managed by Helen Hostetter, was scored "excellent" by the judges. The Klipsun was one of 19 books from colleges with enrollments of 500 to 1000 students to receive this rating. Forty-three books were judged in this group. First class rating has now been awarded the Klipsun for three consecutive years. Previous to 1935, most WWC annuals received second class rating. Art Work Receives High Rating Art work, opening sections, administration and class sections, received the highest ratings. Also scored above average were the general effect and personality of the book, makeup and editing.

H. Hoppe, of the Speech department. Anne Matheson was cast for the leading role of Carole Arden, the part played by Mae West on the screen. Miss Matheson took part in "Admiral Crichton," which was staged here several years ago. Others drawing parts were Naomi Fussell, Gladys Kelcey; Maryl Winship, Aunt Kate; Reva Barr, Joyce Stru-thers; Thomas Evans, Chester Norton (Bud); Pat Stoddard, tors. Stru-thers; Wilton Poolman, Clyde Pel-ton; Vern Liedle, Gene Tuttle; Homer Morris, Johnson; Mildred Bean, Jessie. Miss Bean will also act as assistant director. New Style Play The comedy will be presented penthouse style in the Blue room of Edens hall, three nights and a Saturday matinee, November 17, 18, and 19. The play will be a part of the Homecoming celebration which is held the same week. I n brief explanation, penthouse style means that there are no stage and no walls, but that the actors perform with the audience intimately grouped on four sides. This type of theatre calls for a quiet and convincing realism not attained on the theatrical stage. Last year the Division of Drama presented Sydney Howard's "The Late Christopher Bean," which was hailed as a success by the critics. Coming Artist\ Library Receives Latest Reference Books "Unless more students turn out for orchestra and band, these two activities will not come up to our previous standards,' says Mi-. Bush-ell, of the Music department, in a recent interview. "Our greatest needs are for brass and string players for the orchestra. The band is growing but a trombone player is needed. Whether you are a beginner or more advanced student, turn out immediately if you are interested." Orchestra rehearsals are held on Monday at 4:00 o'clock and Thursday night at 7:30. Band meets on Tuesday at 7:30 and Thursday at 4:00.

A "Dead" Subject Every year at about this time the subject of school spirit is attacked The editor has tried to avoid voicing his opinion on the situation this year because he does not care to write on a "dead" subject. Time after time editors of previous administrations have devoted space to rantings on school spirit. Forums have been written and speeches have been made but "ye good old pep" still remains in the coffin. What can be done to encourage a more enthusiastc student body? The editor does not know. Theories have been propounded by better men than he, yet the spirit lags. President Zylstra suggests a separate men and women rooting section, someone else suggests organizing a pep club. Both are excellent ideas, but they have been suggested in the past with no results. The trouble does not lie in these leaders who are willing to give their time to a good cause but in the rest of YOU, the student body. Yes, we realize that you know it, but WHY DON'T YOU DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT? A Tribute ! The Viking staff pays a tribute to the one who saw that the band instruments were safely delivered toO^and from the football game; to the?one who saw that the card stunts got off 3n^good shape; to the one that made the nrs#all-school mixers a success; to the one who has played a large part in the success of manyj; activities of the school. The staff is sure the whole student body is in back of them in offering thanks to "Gertie", the Kitchen Krew car and her noble owners. Ssh! Man at Wi With the rush and hurly-burley of registration well behind them, the students are settling down to normal College life. The majority of studes think that settling down means going to sleep. Everywhere they can be found: in class, on the lawn, on porches, in offices, under logs, hidden in the moss, under dead leaves. More and more it seems that evolution is at work making college men over into nocturnal animals. Our Master Speaks I resent the remark in the Stroller column about the universal blank look on the Frosh's face. By the time a person signs as many blanks as we have to, they do get that way, but you should have expressed sympathy rather than amusement. I resent it so that it moves me to verse—verse—a«d verse. When I get that blank look, I'm dreaming of my bank-book. II., Chorus: It was chiseled like a statue It curved as statues must; But now its sole resemblance Is the fact that it's a bust. Yours Truly, Just a First Quarter Froshie. ED'S NOTE: Will the poetic "freshman" please trot up to the Viking office— on second floor, main building of WWC—and introduce him or herself. MERCI. Putting Out To Sea The red-orb'd sun sinks; beckoning, Into the chill blue sea; Behind, the quays drop back; the hills We saw for the first time, yesterday, Recede and soon mist-dimmed they seem Like some old friends bidding fond adieu. The 'sprit cleaves gray-green sea In half; symmetrically it folds away Or rolls around behind to be gathered In the frothy, foaming wake, to curl Away in the turbulent rush to bubble Soapily and disappear. Three seagulls swoop careening "round The mainmast. The gleaming sails snap And billow with each changing freshet.

Mr. Grim pointed^ out that the purpose of the junior high school is to give all students an opportunity to participate in basic aspects of social living which are essential in American democracy; He gave its primary objectives as reflective thinking, participation and co-operation, and social sensitivity. With his background, subjects are not considered wholly. The modern junior hign scnooi Is not a period of specialization, but a time for vocational exploration and so-' cial participation in the determination and application of vital generalizations. The needs of adolescents should be met in such a way that they can participate both in youth and maturity as intelligent members of society. In keeping with this philosophy teachers are not concerned with teaching subjects but with helping children meet, problems of life. "We teach mathematics, English, and social studies functionally and with maximum flexibility," Mr. Grim continued, "and attempt to carry over the activity program of the elementary grades. An effort is being made to secure the maximum of correlation between all courses and to establish a core program in the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades hich will be built about significant social problems which meet the needs of adolescents in democratic living. In this program different subjects are used as they contribute to the solution of these problems with all teachers cooperating in that solution." « Plans are being made for trie operation of a guidance program which wiil include individual conferences with students and an attempt to have them appraise their own progress. This evaluation program will be a comprehensive attempt to secure all possible evidence of pupil growth toward the educational objectives of the junior high school, he said.

They did, and so everything is now cleared up. DON'T DO THIS One day last summer two high school boys were each made a dollar bet that they wouldn't jump o'ff the balcony 'of the new • swimming pool, with all of their clothes on, while a women's swim class was in session. Being adventurous fellows, they accepted, jumped, and amid the screams of the gals and the fact that they were being angerily pursued by the instructor, they fled through the men's shower room. They won the bet, but what if the door to the showers had been closed? THIS AND THAT From the game: . . . A few minutes of kick-off practice might not be such a bad idea for the Vikings . . .

To Pastime Cafe E X C E L L E N T FOOD Private Dining Room or Booth Ladies and Men's Rest Rooms PHONES 982-3631 Opposite Leopold 100% Union Bellingham's Red Raiders were soundly trounced by a hard charging and hard fighting Everett team, 26-13, on Battersby field last Saturday night. The Gulls played heads up ball and unequivocally deserved the victory. The Raiders seemed to be entirely off the game they have shown they are capable of producing. Everett led by Felix Fletcher, who totaled three touchdowns, moved through the Bellingham team almost at will, especially in the last half. Thanksgiving day will bring Beil-ingham a chance for revenge, as the two teams meet again on that day, and Harrington, Phillips and company may turn the tables. Loye A. McGee, new member of our physical education staff, is one person the entire student body is going to enjoy working with. He is courteous, efficient, and possesses a refreshing vivacity. McGee is a native of our own Northwest, having been reared in Pendleton, Oregon. He attended the University of Oregon, obtaining his Bachelor of Arts degree there. From Oregon he moved on up to Columbia university in New York City, and kept up his forward progress by receiving his Masters' degree. After acquiring his Master's degree, he taught at three institutions before coming to Bellingham. Goes to Mamaroneck At Mamaroneck, a suburb of New York, McGee taught hygiene and physical education, besides doing the coaching. He remained at Mamaroneck four years before returning to Columbia university to become physical education instructor for another four years. At one time he returned to the University of Oregon, where for another year he taught physical education. An attenuated account of his participation in athletics shows he took part in soccer in addition to earning his numerals in track and football, being a member of the football squad of "26." As coach of the high school at Mamaroneck he turned out an undefeated team in track last year, lost very few games in both football and basketball during his four years. A good record which none may deny. Likes New Position To the question, "Do you like our new physical education building?" McGee replied, "It is the finest building for a school of this size I have ever seen. The students appreciate the building also, for whenever any one of them enter, the pride they possess for the building is immediately shown in the way they act and the way they talk. I feel positive I am going to enjoy instructing here." Concerning hobbies, McGee confesses to fishing as his natural propensity which, for his information, may be easily and satisfactorily gratified here.

Baldwin, a 195- pound tackle making his debut this year, sports a number 94 on his jersey. He is an aggressive player, and his being in the fullback position on defense is no mistake. Remember the name, you will hear more about him in coining games. VANGHN WEBER, a 225-pound giant from Burlington, is also playing his first year for the Vikings. He is making good at the pivot slot.

The five "ex's," Fred Krueger, Stener and Howard Kvinsland.Stan Willis, and Kenny Johnson, couldn't do anything about the pitching aim of Bob Tisdale when he tferew passes, two of them for touchdowns. Viking Whole Show The score was mild compared to the way the Vikings completely out-charged and outclassed the Lutherans time after time. Lappenbusch's forward wall rushed in to smear enemy plays before they could get started. Number one touchdown came after five minutes of play. Tisdale shot a pass from the PLC 35-yard line to Leon Alpaugh on the 17. Five plays later Johnny Rosentan-gle drove over for the first six points. His try for point was blocked. A fumble by Krueger in the early stages of the third period paved the way for the second score. Lange recovered for WWC, and on the next play Tisdale heaved a pass to Alpaugh from the 25 to score. Tisdale passed to Lange for the extra point. Baldwin Intercepts WWC's final score came when Baldwin, Viking tackle, intercepted a PLC pass on the 35 and ran 19 yards to PLC's 16. Three plays later "Tizzy" passed to George • Smith for the touchdown.

Harold Nelson, chairman of events for homecoming, brought up some preliminary plans for the activities. Mr. Nelson discussed the matter of the annual homecoming dance and explained that it would be more expensive than usual because of the increased rate for dance orchestras. Since the school administration is not in favor of a homecoming banquet, it was decided to eliminate it this year. Clarence Soukup and Earl Eckert, editor and business manager, -respectively, of the Western Viking, the official organ of the college,' were present at the meeting and spoke to the members. They asked that permission be granted them to makeup and print the regular homecoming booklet. „'. Frank Chorvat made a report on the election. committee which was accepted by the board. The matter of the senior class party was discussed. Because of the increase in expense for an orchestra, it was necessary to add considerably to the amount allotted v classes for their parties.

As in similar previews, the stars will turn out for the premiere and will come; personally, to Bellingham. Leo Carfflo, Jean Parker, Robert Barratt, arid producer Harry Sherman are those whose presence is assured.".£ lt;£%-', Four months ago^the picture was in the making at ^Mount Baker. It was at this scenic, spot that many townspeople took" advantage of their first and last chance to be in pictures. Thousands of visitors thronged the make-up town of Flambeau, coming to see the shooting of the different scenes. Not only did the spectators see the filming, but they also became acquainted with the stars of the film. Students Among Actors Several members of the Western Viking staff displayed their acting ability by appearing among the extras. They were: Jack Carver, sports editor; Harry Kluge. former editor; Don Gooding, news editor; and Jack Whitmore. All Uie soldiers, gamblers, townsmen, Indians, trappers and prospectors of that little town of Flambeau, will be staring themselves j n the face when "The Barrier" comes to town.

Worthwhile Movement Aubrey Williams says that the NYA has done for a; few hundred students what ought to be done for millions. Hundreds of college administrators, teachers, and • students all over the country agree with him. Yet the NYA appropriation for this year has been cut, necessitating drastic decreases in college and high school allotments. The number of students receiving aid will be reduced from 450,000 to about 250,000, and most of those who are dropped from NYA jobs will be unable to return to college. Mr. Williams points out that even with the return of prosperity, 70% of America's families earn less, than $1,500 a year; as a result, only 11 per cent of those of college age are in college. Surveys have shown that NYA jobs augment these meagre family incomes sufficiently to enable additional students to go to school.. Although NYA aid in this state has been augmented by the State Social Security Act, the knife of the "pruner" has still been felt in our own local unit. Though the Viking refuses to affiliate itself with any group, political or otherwise, it believes the American Student union is taking a worthwhile step in its national demonstration on NYA and the heed for increased, not decreased appropriations for colleges. . The demonstration is being held this week. A Compliment ;; i^fter several years of listening to a mixed crowd of female and male '"dead-beats" attempting to yell, the well ca-denced, spirited yells of the rooting section c o l l e S e c 0 _ ed at last week's game were gratifying.

Full-backed, full-length coats with saucy little hats perched on top' of the wearer's head have definitely reached number one on our campus style parade.

Nicol, hew instructor in the kindergarten of the campus elementary school. It is upon this principle that the work of the kindergarten is organized. Play materials equip a laboratory for the children to experiment with, and these materials are chosen to develop the child in every way possible. For physical play, materials must be hygienic and safe, and invite bodily activity. For social development, sand and blocks are chosen to further group participation. The child's-intellectual needs are cared for by'materials that are informative and provide opportunity for creativeness. "'Just proper materials are not enough," continues Miss Nicol. "The child needs direction and guidance in their use. He also needs to learn how to care for the materials and how to put them-away in an orderly manner. A child learns through opportunities to do things for himself, so instead of suggesting or directing, we allow a certain freedom in deciding what to play and how to play it. This does not mean that control on the part of an adult is entirely lacking." . Because children love to sing, dance, and play to music, the kindergarten gives them ample opportunity to do this spontaneously and imaginatively. Picture books and stories of interest to five year olds are provided to build up good attitudes towards use of books. As a young child shows curiosity about the world, he is helped to investigate, to try out and to. understand these things. This aids him in acquiring a surprising number of facts having scientific significance. —: lt; gt; Ferguson Elected Prexy Of Rainbow Girls Muriel Ferguson was elected president of Sigma Tau Alpha at the first meeting of the fall semester. Other officers- elected were Virginia- -Helms,- vice-president and social leader; Beverly Frederickson, secretary; and Virginia Fegley, treasurer. Plans were started for a skating party early in the fall quarter. Marie Winship was appointed chairman of a committee to see about getting an adviser for the organization and also to construct a constitution for approval by the Board of Control.

He is considered one of the outstanding baritone voices of the time. He has been presented in concert both in America and Europe. Mr. Dennis will appear in Tuesday's assembly. Singing in ten languages, Mr. Dennis'-program is varied and interesting. He is said to have a wonderful personality and his concert poise is free and easy. It is interesting to note that Mr. Dennis sang "Song-of Steel," broadcast from New York City, dramatizing, the opening of the San Francisco Bay bridge. He has done extensive radio work, being on Musical Camera and Texas Centennial programs. Last year he was engaged by Max Reinhardt ,for the role of Jerimiah in the spectacular production, "Eternal Road." Accompanying Mr. Dennis on the piano will be Maurice Zam, who is an artist in his own right. He will contribute jointly to the program. At the age of seventeen, Mr. Zam gave lectures at Harvard university and has also given numerous.piano recitals.

With the finest RE building in the Northwest, new basketball suits for every player, and, the capable direction of Coach Sam Carver, this year's intramural program promises to be the ^finest in the school's history. All students who desire to play and who are not already signed up with club or organized house teams, are invited to do so at Sam Carver's office in the PE building. Students may not play with any team unless regularly signed. Varsity candidates are eligible for league play but varsity basketball lettermen are banned. A new plan to put the ball in play is to be tried out this year with the elimination of the center jump. With the absence of last year's champions, the "Meat Packers," three teams loom as favorites: "Bart on's Beanery," "Daniel's Lion," and the "Viking Manor." Sam Ford, who usually musters forth a good squad with his subtle banquet offering taptics, is a possible danger with his "Co-op" team. Ti£sIii^ Vikings Have^Edge; ' lt;"• Although No; Score Made; Baldwin Shines With the WAA By Helen Carlyle Special to student teachers!—"All work and no play makes anyone's hair turn gray."

Our WWC archery team placed. fourth in that Pacific Coast Telegraphic Archery tournament last spring. In individual scoring, Elsie Kalenius ranked fourth. By BUI Fowler In a bitter struggle at Battersby field last Saturday night, the Western . Washington Vikings and St. Martin's college battled to a scoreless tie". The contest was a grim defensive duel staged around midfield for the most part. Neither eleven seriously threatened," although the Vikings managed to get past the twenty on two occasions. WWC outgained the visitors; chalking up nine first downs to four for the Rangers. The locals had their big opportunity in the first few minutes of the first period. After Fritz Chorvat intercepted a stray pass, the Norsemen drove down to the Ranger 12, but on fourth down, Bob Tisdale's. pass dropped harmlessly in the end zone. Vikings Threaten Twice _ The tide of battle was even until late in the game when WWC again headed goalward. On the Ranger 18, Tisdale again tossed a pass. Curtis Jones, St. Martin's end, intercepted it and seemed off for the races, but was brought down from behind by Fred Baldwin. Baldwin was easily the hero of the Viking defense—the ex-Husky Pup went down on punts to nail the receivers and backed up the line in sensational style. Tisdale and Johnny Rosentangle gained most of the yardage for the Blue and White, but the former's passing arm lacked its usual precision. Out of twelve aerial heaves, only two connected. Bill Solaway lived up to advance notices and was the whole show for the Rangers with his deceptive running- and ability to find holes. Nig Jundel and two tackles, Dier and Lui, were outstanding on the line.

They should become a permanent fixture in the traditions of the college." The change in location of the card section and pep band at the Frosh game was only an experiment and as it did not prove feasible, they will be moved back to the grandstand in their former positions. Donald Bushell, band instructor, and Neil promise a lively program of entertainment at tomorrow's game. Come on you co-eds, fill up the card section! o Homecoming Progressing Weston, Cooper Added to List Of Committee Chairmen; Clubs Compete for Award 1938 Klipsun Plan Revolves Around WWC, Northwest "Correlation between the Pacific Northwest and WWC will be the theme of the Klipsun this year," announced Eleanor Reasoner. There will be a decided emphasis upon the industrial, recreational, and educational aspects of the Northwest, and the connection between these advantages and our school. It is a "boost the Northwest" era and the annual is in the midst of the activity, putting out a chamber of commerce annual. The staff is anticipating a banquet to be given next month by Mr. Stanley Beard, of the Union Printing company. The purpose is to introduce them to the members of the regular printing force, before the Klipsun staff starts to work with them. "Homecoming plans are progressing smoothly, and if the cooperation expected is received, there is no reason why this year's affair shouldn't be tops," stated Harold Nelson, Homecoming chairman, yesterday.afternoon.'" " *~ - Two new committees were added to the list. Virginia Weston will have charge of the luncheon committee while Chet Cooper will head the downtown decorations. Clubs to Compete The new committee is securing space for decorations in downtown windows. College clubs which before could not participate in Homecoming decorations will now be given the opportunity of putting up displays in the store windows. Their decorations will be judged on the same basis as those of the houses. Stores offering window space will be posted on the bulletin board. Clubs wanting space should sign up opposite the firm desired. A scheme to offer a cup in place of the usual banner is in the offing. The cups will become the permanent possession of" the house winning it twice, regardless of whether it is won in successive years or not. Presidents Will Meet House presidents will soon be called to a meeting by the campus decoration committee, to appoint decoration chairmen for each of the houses. Phyllis McNamee, head of the committee, warns, "Some progressive houses have already started plans for house decorations—so if you don't want to be left behind, Permission to print a seven-column paper was granted Clarence Soukup,* editor of the Western Viking, at the Wednesday Board of Control meeting. I The enlargement was granted because of the fact that Earl Eckert, present business manager of the Viking, has been furnishing the paper with a much larger quota of ads than has been usual for a number of administrations, thus cutting down materially the space to be devoted to news. The seven-column paper will appear for the first time for the Homecoming edition and will continue for the remainder of fall quarter, providing that all expenses can be taken care of by the fund already allotted to the Viking, and also by the proceeds from the advertising. Eckert Wants Raise The matter of a commission for the business manager of the Viking was discussed, Eckert asking-that a percentage of the proceeds of the ads above the set minimum be paid to him. Board members commented favorably on the question, but no definite action will be taken until exact figures on the present salary are furnished by the board. Harold Nelson, chairman of the Selander To Act as First Councilman; Organization Will Run City Business Dance In Evening With Hiram Hogberg, WWC student and Master Councilor of the local DeMolay chapter, as mayor, and Bob McBeath and William Seward as police chief and fire chief respectively, the third annual Der Molay municipal day will get under way early Saturday, October 30. Municipal day, patterned after Seattle's annual DeMolay affair, will begin by the DeMolays taking over the business of running the city. "Mayor" Hogberg and his coworkers will have a council meeting in which laws concerning city government will be passed. In previous years laws concerning upholstered footstools for the councilmen and courtesy cars for all concerned have been passed. These laws and resolutions will be then put in legal form by Comptroller Binzer and filed for the next year's meeting. Learn Internal Works "The purpose is to acquaint the boys with the workings of our city government," said Hogberg when questioned as to the purpose of the day. Other civic positions filled by the DeMolay boys for the day are: Kenneth Selander as first councilman, Adrian Alberg as second councilman, and Alvin Hilby, Charles Fletcher, Curtis Hale, Masters Gomes Through With Second Representative Post; Board Holds Banquet Friday Fall Enrollment High; Freshmen Abound homecoming activities, was at the Douglas Parris, and Roland Turner meeting to present the Board with j filling in the remaining positions Keeping in line with the general 7 per cent enrollment rise being enjoyed this year by colleges and universities in the United States, WWC has drawn a student body list of slightly less than 800 for the fall quarter, figures released Tuesday by President Fisher show. Last fall's total was 727, about 70 less. Of this number, the freshman class has the most, with 317 members, the largest entering group in years. Next in line is the junior class, with 209, while below this, by some quirk, are the. sophomores. This class usually enrolls in greater numbers than their elder colle-giates. Another unusual thing about the attendance, President Fisher points out, is the abnormally high number of transfers from other schools, about 200 in all. The rise is in agreement with the increase of transfers during the summer quarter, when 543 of the 1000 total enrollment came from rival colleges. A third feature of the swelled fall attendance is the fact that for the first time since 1931 Edens hall has been entirely filled by WWC co-eds. o- Half of Student Body Votes; Porm Girl Gets Majority Victor Joins Neil Wednesday Board Has Full Roster information concerning proposed expenditures for those activities. The Board voted an appropriation in accordance with Nelson's suggestion: "Also in cohnection with homecoming, Nelson suggested that instead of the conventional pennant awarded the house having the best decorative display, that a cup be given instead. Although this will entail a greater initial expense, it was pointed out that the trophy would last longer and that the name of the house winning the cup each year could be engraved on it. o — on the city council. The DeMolay will end the day with a dance to be given at the Crystal ballroom in the Leopold hostel. '"*" "'••''' '" - " " ' • • •. Sophomores Use Rally Theme At Party Tonight College Comedians Prepare Rousing Film City Burlesque Eagle Plume Returns Accomplished Indian Interpreter Of Indian Life and Culture To Appear Before Assembly 'Taming of Shrew' Costumes Steal Show From Actors In Production By Wanda Barci With colorful and beautifully designed costumes, "The Taming of the Shrew," a Shakespearean comedy, was presented Tuesday night by the Washington State Theater at Lynden. The most arresting thing noticed about the production according to local critics was the brilliant coloration of the costumes worn. Through letters to B. W. James, theater director, audiences have expressed their wish for vivid color and life. This play should have been found satisfactory from this1 angle. The acting, white not outstanding, was good and did capture the true spirit of Shakespearean comedy, so often dead and lifeless unless interspersed with gestures, pantomime and small actions. , y W*!^^ Petruchio's vser^uat,j Grumio gt; gave .^he best performance, keeping ^witih the authorfe own ideas of how the part should be portrayed. The part of Petruchio, played by Noel Scram, did not come up to expectations. Louise Hastert, as Katherine the shrew, was much too good looking to effectively play the part of a wicked nagging wife. Audience Unappreciative The audience at Lynden accepted the production rather than.enjoyed it. Most of the people did not understand enough of the character of Shakespearean works to fully ap: predate them. Theaters supported by the government are common in Europe but the only theater of its kind in the United States is the Washington State Theater. It is backed by the state and controlled by the State Board of Education; for the purpose of bringing works of art to the people- T h e ---------- Western Viking - 1937 October 22 - Page 2 ---------- ^^^^mmmWmUmmSm - • .

Lest We Forget In the routine acceptance of the Viking as an institution as time-honored and stable as any of the College's institutions, it is likely that we have forgotten by what means the paper operates. The publication of the Viking is made possible largely through the cooperation of the business men, which in turn depends largely upon how loyally we- students patronize them. Many of the Bellingham business men believe that their advertising in this paper is only charity. T H E V I K I N G DOES N O T A C C E P T C H A R I T Y . When the business manager accepts an ad from a business firm, he promises results. Look through the paper today. Notice the ads. How many do you trade with, unconscious of the fact that they are Viking advertisers? Next time you drop in to see your favorite firm (who we hope advertises in the Viking)" tell him you saw his ad in the college paper. Make it a point to trade with the college backers. If we as students, patrons of Bellingham business men, display our appreciation to those merchants who show a progressive enthusiasm for the work which the Viking undertakes by advertising in its columns, we automatically do our share in balancing for them the cost of advertising. We show them that their investment in our welfare is not misplaced. Lest we forget, let us patronize the advertisers, who patronize us.

"They should have a part in choosing and planning their work and play and in helping to make the room more attractive. They should be free to move about and talk together. Talking, as Roma Gans would say, has far more social ramification than has reading or arithmetic."

She felt that in a natural situation of this kind the children have a real reason for writing compositions and that they learn the value of cooperation, responsibility, and initiative. Creative dramatics, writing, and poetry are also being planned. Another activity of the sixth grade is the daily citizenship meeting, held every morning except Thursday, when assemblies are given. During this half hour the children discuss • business, their own problems, and current affairs. They share experiences, hobbies, and books.

The squad has ten men who outweigh last year's heaviest frosh gridder, • who scaled at 205 pounds. The heaviest man this year is Tackle Stan Johnson, who weighs 225. Not meaning to belittle Chet Blacking-tons kicking, but it is best to say that the Pups have six men who consistently kick between 60 and 70 yards in the air. Taking that in a nutshell and the fact that the U of W Frosh had a weighty team^, is it any wonder that the Westerns will have more than their hands full tomorrow night? Yours hopefully, The Sports Staff.. More Sunshine Rays The gang from the lt;Palouse country boasts a 205-pound line and a 185-pound backfield.

Sears Roebuck BELLINGHAM Vikings Defeated By Frosh Kicking Paves Way for Victory Rough Game Featured by Many Penalties Although displaying a good brand of football, the Vikings went down to an 8 to 0 defeat at the hands of the University of Washington freshmen last Saturday night at "Batters-by field. The Husky pups showed plenty of pov/er and some exceptionally fine kicking. It was a rough game with penalties for al most all the rules in the book. The "Viking squad ran up the most first downs, but wasn't able to deliver in the pinches. The first tally came in the sec ond period after a perfect coffin corner kick by Dean McAdams went out on the 3-yard line. A penalty put the ball on the 1-yard stripe. Weber threw the pass from center over the head of Bob Tisdale, and the ball bounded out of the end zone for an automatic safety.'. Pass Clicks By virtue of a beautiful pass from Ted Dorman to end Bill Marx, who stepped over from the 3-yard marker, the yearlings reached pay dirt early in the third quarter. Throwing passes from all angles, the hilltoppers tried vainly to carry the pigskin oVer the all-important goal line. Seven of the 26 attempts were completed. The blue-clads had no difficulty making their yardage out in the middle of the field but the Frosh always showed plenty of reserve strength to quell any and all attacks. Baldwin Stars Fred Baldwin was easily the bright spot of the Viking defense, climaxing his brilliant play by blocking a punt late in the fourth quarter. Chorvat's running attack was also a feature of the offensive threat of Bellingham. Rudy Mucha and McAdams were the stars of the yearlings. Hayes Makes Your Watch Keep Time Located with Dr. R. E.

XXXVII—NO. 5 WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGE OF EDUCATION, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Friday, October 29, 1937 Board Grants Commission To Eckert Curtis Foils Dance Committee; Appropriation Voted for Frosh Bonfire; Dance Class Discussed Janitor Under Fire At the Wednesday Board of Control meeting, Earl-Eckert, business manager of the Western Viking, •was granted a bonus of twenty per cent on all ads obtained over 70 inches,, providing the money for the additional ads is collected. 70 inches is the minimum number of ads necessary, to keep the paper on a paying basis, and Eckert has obtained advertising, considerably in excess of this amount. Since Jay Curtis has already en- •gaged the Armory for the evening of November 20. the question of a place to hold the Homecoming dance was discussed. Because of the fact that the gym at the Col-ege is too small, the Armory is the customary and logical place for the Homecoming dance. Negotiations are under way by which it is hoped that WWC students will be able to have that building for this event. An appropriation for the Freshmen Bonfire was voted by the Board. The bonfire is generally considered one of the outstanding features of the Homecoming activities. The matter of obtaining someone to do janitor work for dance classes was brought up and arrangements are being made for this. ' o — Music Association 6 Selects Programs Artists for this season's Civic Music Association concerts have been selected, Mr. Nils Boson, secretary of the association, announced last week. He states that an enjoyable and successful year is anticipated. Heading the list is John Charles Thomas, the well known American baritone who has been featured on radio programs for the past few years; Jacqueline Solomons, a youthful French violinist; Lubashutz and Nemennoff, who will present a recital on two grand pianos, a style of ever increasing popularity; and Marjorie Lawrence, an Australian soprano who has been with the Metropolitan Opera company for the past two years. o O-so-peachy Opens Road To Shangri-la etc. This week and every other week you feel in the mood is Buy O-so-Peachy Week, in honor of the Viking O-so- Peachy Homecoming booklet. There's some ' nonsense about a football game or whatever it is connected to this big celebration week, and you're supposed to patronize the O-so-people and buy one. Buy two. After buying it go to this thing that they play and look up the stars in it, especially if you're a girl (don't tell me you're not!—my! what a waste of time), as you can look up the captain or quarterback or watefboy and date him up if you've got enough on the ball, etc. 'The management of this booklet (the O-so-Peachy booklet) guarantees one, at least, O-so-Peachy friend for the great big shindig in the armory. Be sure and wear your armor. Perhaps you say to yourself that you are liable to run into trouble and other undesirable things in this act. No. You won't. Editor Soukup and his imported Turkish harem and all his little soukups, etc., will furnish a O-so-Peachy escort in case it rains or snows or things. That is really a nice bargain isn't it O-so-Peachy fans? O r . .. New Place To Chow Now Eat in Comfort, Spend. Nothing at Edens Students! A new eating place—Edens hall. The dining room is capable of holding a great number of people, so don't hesitate to go over there. Boys as well as girls are invited to eat. their lunch in the dining room. It is an ideal place for those who bring their lunches. One may sit at any of the tables, except the faculty table. It is not necessary to buy anything to be a diner in the hall. "Outside people are always welcome to eat at the dormitory." says Miss Gertrude Longley, Edens hall dietitian. The dining room at Edens hall has been opened to the students because many people have been eating their lunches in the halls and in the locker rooms, which gives the school a slip-shod appearance. Prexy Has Busy Week-end Four Meetings Attended By President Fisher; Bicentennial Discussed Four meetings were attended by Prexy Fisher this week-end. Friday evening he attended a meeting of the University of Pennsylvania alumni at the Seattle College Club. The bicentennial to be held by the University in 1940 was discussed. It is planned to hold a big celebration similar to the tricenten-nial recently held at Harvard University. The founding of the University by Benjamin Franklin will be commemorated. Stanley F. Atwood, state superintendent of public instruction, spoke on the subject, "Rewriting the School Code", at the meeting of the Saturday Night Club that Fisher attended that evening. The membership or this organization is made up of men working in the schools of Seattle and vicinity. The College of Puget Sound at Tacoma was the scene of a meeting Monday. This meeting was attended by College presidents trustees, and bursars. A discussion of financial problems of colleges and universities was held. The American Council on Education, who sponsored the meeting, sent a leader, Mr. J. Harvey Cain. Tuesday, Fisher met with a group of alumni who were attending the WEA regional meet in Tacoma. "Recent Changes in WWC," was the subject of the talk given ny him at a luncheon there. o WAA Ghost Party Pronounced Social Success Black foot Indian Attends Lunch After Stirring Assembly "The best place in the world to collect real Indian goods is in a second hand store," said Charles Eagle Plume to a group of WWC students at a luncheon given for him Wednesday at Edens hall. He elaborated on his statement by explaining that the old Indian garments were brought to second hand stores as ornaments to draw trade and that now their value as advertising has decreased. .. gt;• Born on the Blackfoot reservation in Montana, Eagle Plume was graduated from the University of Colorado with degrees in English and anthropology. He intends to return presently to get his Ph.D. in the latter. For three years he has traveled America and Europe on lecture tours concerning the American Indian and his lore. Has Toured Europe Speaking of his tours in Europe, the Indian said: "European audiences are all convinced that America is still wild and that we are all dressed as I am—in tribal Indian clothes. People have questioned me after lectures about friends in America and expected me to know them because "they are white people". Eagle Plume compared inland Indian tribes with those on the Pacific coast, discussing the difference with several Yakima tribe members who attend WWC and were at the luncheon. "Because the Blackfeet, Crow and other Indian tribes had a difficult time to provide food, they developed characteristics entirely different from the coastal tribes who could, without much trouble, easily find food in clam beds or rivers." In an interview after the luncheon, the Blackfoot confidentially said that, when he can overcome his laziness, he will write a book about the growth of primitive man. Using the development of a boy through all stages of life as a pattern, he intends to edit an anthropological work from his completed notes which have taken several years to compile. Eagle Plume, who said he disliked being called "Chief" Eagle Plume because he is not a chief, left for Walla Walla Wednesday evening to speak at Whitman college and from there will go on lecture tours in the southern and eastern parts of the West. Larger Paper Soon Helfritz To Deliver Lecture On Arabia Land of Sheba to be Subject Of Assembly Address; Illustrated Talk Skyscrapers in the desert; the Land of Sheba; a forbidden section never before entered by white man! These and many other such thrilling topics- will be told~about in the illustrated lecture of Hans Helfritz, who will be presented in the assembly on Tuesday, November 2. Mr. Helfritz was the first European to cross southwest Arabia. This journey of 1200 kilometers was made by caravan through the Ruba at Khali desert. Whole caravans have disappeared while attempting to cross the boundless sea of sand and stone. The section of Yemen has never before been entered by a white man. The object of this journey was the ruined city of Shabwah in the biblical territory of Sheba. ' He was able to enter the city only with the aid of the Bedouins, after he had encountered and overcome the bandits and robbers. The lecture is to be illustrated by motion pictures in color, covering the ruins of the cities ruled by the Queen of Sheba, the skyscraper cities in Hadra'maut, the mountains whose peaks are 9000 feet above sea level, the native Bedouins who live in the oldest "skyscraper apartments," and many other fascinating subjects. o That the WAA Hallowen'en party held Thursday evening, October 28, proved to be a great success was the unanimous opinion voiced by girls who attended. A short program featuring ghost stories with various weird effects and a folk dance by Betty Swasher and Virgie Boal was presented. Girls were divided into groups for a pumpkin relay and to eat apples suspended from strings. This was followed by a splash party in the pool and folk dancing in the gym. Refreshments consisted of "rich brew" and "magic rings." —: 0- — National Organization Requests Paper Dr. Jack Cotton, of the Speech department, has been requested to present a paper on the "Multiple Booth System for Speech Laboratory", at the New York meeting of the National . drganization of Speech •Tea^e»---m^':De^ember. The invitation was first sent to Columbus, Ohio, Dr. Cotton's former home, asking him to appear in person. When it was learned that he had moved and could not make the trip, a paper on the subject was requested by the organization. • gt; Nelson Resents Ye Viking Hounds Mike Zylstra Promises Successful Bonfire; Assembly in Morning League Holds Fashion Tea Preparations are now being made by the Women's League for the Fashion tea which will be held November 4.

After he has cleverly (so he thinks) woven his material into a masterpiece and presented it to the public, what good is it? No one reads it. At least that is what the Monday morning Viking Tear-er-aparters say. The editor seeks solace and comfort in a little poem that could have been rendered from his own heart. They find fault with the editors The stuff they print is rot; The paper is as peppy As a cemetery lot.

TOM EVANS is a versatile lad. He was engaged to a Seattlite until the day before he.left for WWC. On the night of his first (and last) date with REV A BARR he asked her to be his one and only. We wonder if he's asked HELEN MASTERS his present love yet. By the way REVA and TOM are.having a difficult (?) time in the love scenes of the school play.

DON GOODING says that BETTY ANN LUCID 'is plenty refined after going to Seattle with JACK CARVER Saturday night. GOODING went along to see his girl MURPHY. He calls her MURPHY because she admires his originality. HOWARD JONES is showing plenty interest in JEANNE BORGSTEAD. Just noticed MIKE ZYLSTRA strolling down the walk with VIVIAN CLARK. If they are patching up marital troubles BETTY HOWELL will be out in the cold. By the way, Zylstra, at what hour are men supposed8 to be out of the dorm.?

VENE LIEDLE and JOE HUNT seeing the BELLINGHAM NIGHT LIFE with a couple of telephone OPERATORS. WILTON POOLMAN'S interest in BETSY DAVTES having lagged, POOLMAN is now buying candy bars for MERLE WIN-SHIP and walking around the campus with BETTY ADAMS.

Ruckmick, of the Industrial Arts department. "A 44-inch South Bend machine-shop lathe, and a Delta drill press have arrived, but as i yet have not been installed because of wiring changes that had to be made and a new ceiling which was put in to protect the machinery." The new equipment is included in a "General Metals Shop," to be used mainly as a part of the Junior High school shop, laboratory. There are worthwhile possibilities in the field of metal work to be opened up for Junior High school work. Already the department has been having projects such as electric soldering irons, motor armatures, and shafts which require lathe and drill press work. The General Metals shop is equipped for metal casting known as foundry work for elementary automobile work, and for wrought iron or forging. By experimentation and careful choice, many new projects may be added in the field of metaTwork in the opinion of Mr. Ruckmick.

For the Huskies had about as much scoring punch as some of this Edens hall stuff served at rec hours. Getting down within the 20 yard, markers, the U either fumbles or gets smeared for a loss and that doesn't help the defending champs. One player who showed up well was dark skinned Charley Russell, another By Haines. He is shifty, fast, knows how to evade those enemy tacklers, and drives till he is really downed. Stanford's safety, Jimmy (Shorty) Coffis sure takes chances when he tries to gather in punts while he's traveling 50 m.p.h. When the Huskies can make 40 first downs to their opponents 22, and yet only make two touchdowns and a field goal, it is time to foot and toot for another team.

Taylor Gives Tips On Basketball "Stressing the fundamentals in the making of a great basketball team, Chuck Taylor, noted basketball authority, talked and showed pictures' of six of the country's outstanding teams in a lecture given last Monday night in the WWC gym. Some of his tips were the handling of the ball in the finger tips where greater control is possible, passing the ball quicker and using a wrist snap and finger action. On defense, the correct stance is to have the weight on the front of the feet with the knees bent, and to be in a position to see all of the court. "Warm up before practice-shooting and keep your eye on the rim," emphasized Taylor. About 150 fans watched the demonstration which" lasted two and one-half hours. The talking pictures were too long and technical to hold interest for the mere fan, but the players and coaches got some real dope from the various college coaches who showed their fundamental plays. o Hayes Makes Your Watch.

"AGGIE" STUDENT KNOWS HIS BEES With the WAA By Helen Carlyle "Good form—if you'd hit the ball"—"uip! Whew, a neat one! —" O h , I've lost another ball." These amateur golfers are really going to town—or rather out; of town. Anyway, you'll find them warming up at the Lakeway golf course every Saturday morning with Miss Rupert. Cars leave Edens hall and the PE building for the golf course at 9:30. Nope. That isn't too early if you like golf. Pour rahs to Harborview! Have you seen its volleyball team in action? If has what it takes to scale the ladder fast—all right—all right! "Polkas! Schottische's! Virginia reels! and square dances! 'Member what fun those dancing classes were last year? We even tried natural dancing—such as it was. Here's to another dance class this year! How about it, girls? Three cheers for the committee who arranged that super-snappy Hallowe'en party. Such a hair raisin'! But we did come out alive. Terry Gookins is what you call a manager when it comes to entertainment. We're only sorry there was no cider left. / wonder why , the gals play Volleyball so late. Could it be because basketball practice will soon be over—or perhaps it's Bertha's be over—or perhaps it's Bertha's inYuence on Nelson. And Miss Rupert announces that we will even have mixed ping-pong and badminton on Thursday nights. You don't have to go to the library to meet your boy friend now, gals. Gloom is settled plenty thick around the pigskin locker room. With three games left to be played, the Vikings are losing some mighty important players. Baldwin, Hammond, Blackington, Popovich, Brick-ey, Winters, and maybe a few more, are ineligible. Their loss will be keenly felt in the coming games. Vikings Travel Taking to the road for the first time this season the charges of Chuck Lappenbusch will invade the Savage strongheld November 6. Cheney is usually on the top of the tri school conference, and by all indi cations will have a good'ehance to repeat. Coach Reese's Indians are always dangerous, and on their home field are especially so. EUensburg comes to Bellingham for the Homecoming game at 2:00 p. m. on November 20. The Wild cats, coached by Nickolson, have a scrappy outfit but the home team is rated a better than- 50-50 chance to keep in step with the ideas of the celebration day program. Linfield Comes Playing a turkey day game after a year's. layoff, toe Viking squad will tangle with Lmfield college of Oregon. In the last Thanksgiving day battle, the Hilltoppers beat another Oregon college team, Monmouth, to the tune of 25 to 6. This is Linfield's first appearance here, but a pretty good idea of their strength can be gained from considering that they beat EUensburg 12 to nix in an early season game. Introducing— DON BELL, a graduate of What-cm high in Bellingham, is putting in his second year at WWC. He attended the University of Washington last year, playing football with the Frosh. Don has grown up in the last few years, and now weighs 190 pounds, possesses 20 years to the credit side, plays in the right half position, and wears the number 42. LEO LANCE comes to WWC from WSC where he played football with the Cougar babes. Before attending Washington State, Leo lived at Port Townsend, graduating from the high school there. He is quarterbacking for the Vikings. He carries aroud a weight of 185 pounds, bears up under a load of 23 years, and owns the sweatshirt number 90. ART MICKLE is making his second letter in football for Lappy this year. He comes from southern Washington; the town of Centralia. Last year Art played fullback and end, but this year has become the utility man of the squad, filling in wherever a strong sub is needed. By the way, Mickle is married to Nancy Hutton, and she is also attending WWC. IVOR HIVE . . . majoring in "Bee Culture" at State U? says: . . .

With Chuck's sparkling exhibition of ball handling still vivid in the minds of the maple court devotees, lt;the season will start out with a bang Monday, when Sam Carver's famed "round-robin" schedule goes into effect. At a meeting of players and managers Tuesday, final arguments and difficulties were ironed out with the formation of an "A" and "B" league, each containing six teams. As the Western Viking's publicity is potent and their playing questionable, Sam Carver added a little humor" to the meeting by placing their "B" league entry in the "A" league. Jeff Tesreau, foul-shooting champion, is still in school and all players will have a chance to wrest his laurels when the foul-shooting contest starts later in the season.

Shysters Deplete Grid Exchequer Hinting at possible restrictions on the use of student body tickets in the future, Coach Chuck Lappenbusch said Wednesday that about $200 had been lost to the WWC football financial balance by the loaning of tickets to outsiders, some of whom have been "old guys with whiskers," obviously not attendants of WWC. The coach, with this steady drain on his net gate receipts, wants the illegal entrants to realize that they are being detected and will suffer when the football bosses decide to clamp down. The present law on the college statutes is somewhat of a legislative farce and so far has been ineffectual, allowing a considerable amount of loss to accrue yearly. 205-207 Prospect PHONES 66 120 MODEL Truck and Storage PHONE 70 SEAFOODS YOU LIKE TO EAT At.

"bur plans for Homecoming are well formulated by now,, but we want to withhold some surprises from the students. Therefore we can't let you know all about it." This statement was made by one of the chairmen of the Homecoming committees. Bud Neil reports that plans for the pep rally are well under way. Cheers and band music will keep the students in high spirits, and Glares and rockets* will add zest to the occasion. It is hinted that there will be eats served after the rally. The organized houses are working out clever, original ideas for decorations this year. Competition is keen and it is expected that unusual and elaborate effects will be produced in an effort to capture the cup offered as a prize. Assembly Program Different A high spot on the Homecoming program will be the assembly which will be held Friday morning. Chairman, Virgie Boal,- promises that the theme of it will appeal to the students because it is something different yet entirely in keeping with the Homecoming idea. Virginia Weston 'says that the alumni luncheon will be held at Edens hall, Saturday 19, at 12:00 o'clock. Old grads will speak at this time as well as members of the faculty. Students are invited to attend. ' The dance committee has had some difficulty in obtaining the • Armc-ry for the dance. These difficulties have been surmounted, however and a large crowd is expected to be present at 00 p. m., Friday, November 19 when the former students will renew acquaintances with their WWC friends. The dance will end at midnight. o— Fisher Goes South; Visits Other Teacher Colleges Soukup Defends O-so-peachy In Fiery Speech President C. F. Fisher, accompanied by President George Selke, of the State Teachers college at St. Cloud, Minnesota, left Monday as a representative of the American Association of Teachers colleges, to visit two colleges desiring membership in the association. * President Fisher is a member of the accrediting committee for the association and is one of the two members of that committee to visit these .schools before they can be accepted for membership. The two colleges bidding for admission into the association are the State Teachers college at Areata, California, and the State Normal school at Ashland, Oregon. It is expected that President Fisher will return to Bellingham by the last of this week. —— -O- : O-so-peachy Community fund Viking Homecoming booklets sold like some of Tizzie Lish's week-old hbtcakes last week, claimed editor Soukup in one of his calmer fits after the Monday morning Viking tear-aparters got through with him. In fact, he bravely adds, because of the immense popularity of these marvelous compilations they will be put on sale for another big week of superb bargains for the undernourished shopper. Although CIO threatens to boycott the Viking office for various reasons, this sale will go on immediately after the next number and will continue until public indignation overwhelms us. There was a little trouble last week as some unmannered folk said that Editor Soukup and* his lesser soukups had no right to take all the boys out of circulation with offers of a special imported harem. Editor Soukup retorts that all's fair in love and war and that this ain't war. So there!' Next week you will probably hear the bloody tale of the dragon and how the high-powered O-so-peachy literature literally curled him up with jealousy and triumphed for life, liberty, and the pursuit of gt; some other fellow's woman. All you need to do to get this thrilling drama free and also send a harem to college is buy "O-so-Peachy," and see the world. - - —: o-J Negro Exaltations Feature Tuesday's Assembly WWC Solohs GetArtftory Homecoming Dance Will Be Held in Local Armory; V Student Body Cards/"PuzzIe Synda White To Give Costume Recital on Friday Program; India Discussed fh6 Hon kon Friday, November 5 11:00 a. m—Assembly.

Described as an exciting artist, Miss Marion Kerby will present a program of Negro exaltations and Kentucky mountain tunes on Tuesday, November 9, at the regular assembly. Miss Kerby's recitals consist largely of Negro spirituals, love songs, and exaltations which will be interspersed by Negro impersonations. Well known in both the United States and abroad, M s Kerby has appeared in London, Holland, and Montreal, as well as in many of the larger cities in this country. Hindu Music Friday On Friday, November. 12, Sydna White will give a costume recital of stories, songs and rhythms on the drums of India. Spending a year in India, Miss White became fascinated with Hindustani music. She brought back to America a repertoire of songs and rhythms, and a complete presentation of the music and people of India. Her program is said to be dramatic—Although she portrays the humorous side of a dark, gloomy country In prose and music, Miss White will relate such adventures as shooting leopards in the wilds of Kashmir; distributing mufflers to lepers at Christmas; singing Hindustani songs to Ghandiites; and playing Bach Fugues on the Cathedral organ in a Hindu city. — o—^- . Edwards Hall Elects Officers That WWC;S annual Homecoming dance is to be held at the Armory was the announcement, of Donald Bushell at last Wednesday's Board of Control meeting. Some difficulty had been encountered at first in securing that floor for the affair, as it had been engaged previously. Occupying part of the discussion of the meeting was the problem of prohibiting people who. are not enrolled at WWC from attending rec hours. It was decided that the doorman, David Osterberg, should have an assistant to aid him in the recognition of those who attend the dances. Don Wilson, a member of the Board, was appointed to fill this position. The same problem exists at various dances held outside the college and sponsored by organizations of the school, it was pointed out. Football Problem Pondered In connection with.this.same subject was the problem of admittance by the use of student activity tickets to those who are_ not members of the WWC student body. It is possible that the system used at the University of Washington, whereby those entering must sign their names, may be adopted. Members of the Board participated in a general discussion of ways and means of instilling^ more pep in -the Homecoming activities. —o Barrier Premier Here Tomorrow Variedr gt;^ng JRec^/ In College A^ College Students T o See Selves Act;_Car,ver-.Stars in Mob - Scenes; Actors to be Present Starring Jimmy Ellison, Jean Parker, and several Western Washington college stars, the almost-world premiere of "The Barrier" opens tomorrow at the Mount Baker theatre . Definite information that Jimmy Ellison and Jean Parker will be present at the premiere has been received by Manager Jack Rosenberg of the Mount Baker theatre. Leo Carrillo and Robert Barrat are expected if their, schedules will permit. Carver Most Prominent Several college students took part in the picture and may be seen in the mob scenes (if you look close.) Jack Carver, Harry Kluge, Jack Whitmore, and Don Gooding, members of the Viking staff, were the nucleus of the student cast of extras. Carver and Gooding were probably the outstanding extras in the picture, playing in scenes at both Mount Vernon and Mount Baker. The Viking sports editor can be seen on the deck of the Skagit Chief as she lands at the supposed city of Flambeau, Alaska. Carver also wields a shovel in one of the mountain scenes.

For a college which is either blessed or cursed by a lack of fraternity and sorority houses, the Western Washington college has a surprising dearth of organized units. Only a few clubs can boast of a large membership and none can boast of an oversized dose of pep. The Valkyries, for example— the so-called generators of spirit on the campus—have no more fire than the head of a wet match. This editorial is not aimed at the Valkyrie girls nor at any other club; no, not even at student spirit. The punch is probably there in the hearts of us all, but the lack of organization has failed to bring it out. , The only other organized units on the campus besides the clubs are the surrounding student houses which operate largely under the theory of individualism. If it is under this idea that they prosper, then the following propositions that would increase their own glory should be favored b y them. Taking over of the card section, rec hours,. halftime , entertainments at basketball games, and other social affairs could all be added to the program of the organized houses. Each task well done by an individual house would serve to give that house more distinction than the rest in the eyes of the non-participating students. The Viking editor is not a man of great wisdom and he may have strayed off at a tangent but if this editorial stirs someone's ambition enough to start the ball rolling, then his task is well done.

She has been attending WWC for four quarters, and is a graduate from Mount' Baker high school. Sports is her hobby. She is'especially interested in basketball. The other sports that she takes part in are: volleyball, hockey, and archery. Perhaps you remember her for the part she took in the archery telegraph tournament last spring quarter. She does not plan to graduate from here, but expects to be a physical education teacher in high school some day. This explains her active participation in sports. She is a pretty busy person, being lodge chairman for WAA, and on the editing committee for the new WAA booklet. You will find Shirley Rogers pretty hard to get hold of for she lives in Deming.

These classes are progressing quite well, according to Helen Greene and Bart Kenyon—although the two instructors are a little disappointed in the lack of enthusiasm among the students in turning out for the classes. There are about twelve girls and two boys that show up at the classes every Tuesday and Thursday. The two instructors hope that in the future more beginning dancers will take an interest in the dance classes held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7:30 until 9:30. General dancing for all students is from 8:30 until 9:30 115 E.

Speak on A^tiralia InThursd^ "It was the wanderlust," are the words with Which Arthur Cone, world traveHer, opened a talk on Australia' and -New Zealand in the training school assembly Thursday, morning before WWC pupils of the fourtlv fifth, sixth and junior high school grades. ; "During my sophomore year at the University,of Pennsylvania the depression came and I found myself, unable to continue a college education,". Cone explained. "T decided to get some material for future use and on May 27, 1930,, attired in high topped boots, . khaki breeches, a khaki shirt and carrying a few belongings in a knapsack, I started out. My. pocket held thirty dollars." His trail took him across- the continent to Seattle and then to Vancouver, where he obtained free passage to Skagway for writing an article about the trip. After a journey through the interior of Alaska, he worked his way to Seattle as a stevedore. Hitch-hiking his way to San Francisco, he met a man who helped him to get a job as deck boy on the Venture, bound for Sidney, Australia. Though the first mate did not like the new crew member, Mr. Cone steamed with the Ventura to Samoa, the Fiji islands, and finally, into the harbor of Sidney. "I had a letter of introduction to a sheep owner in Queensland," the speaker continued, "and traveled there by catching rides. This man let me work in his station as a 'jackaroo'. A 'jackaroo' is one who is learning the sheep raising art. He has a higher social position: than the other hands,, but .'.'is paid less. Well, I worked there for three weeks and then left, after a fight brokebut." Lecturing made it possible for him to eamjnoriey for a passage to New Zealand. While there a Maori princess invited him t o a reception given for the king of Raratongi. Still lecturing, Mr. Cone worked his way to Manila, then back through the Orient and Europe to his home in New York, arriving there November 13, 1933. Mr. Cone is 'the author of a book, "Wanderlust Trails", which is as yet unpublished. Recently married, he and his wife hope to continue the work of Martin Johnson. They first plan a trip into South America. Honored at Birthday Collett Court girls honored Gladys Hamilton on Monday evening at a party given for her birthday.

Jewelers 1301 Cornwall Ave. By Bill Fowler This week the Western Viking takes you behind the scenes into the jury room or wherever the Su gt; ^preme Court meets, for a session with the "nine old men" . . .except that we are showing our New Deal affiliations by packing the court with two girls. This august assembly sits discussing the probable outcome of tomorrow's modified warfare at Crie-ney when the Eastern Washington Savages duel the Western Washington Vikings with pigskins at one hundred paces. BRYAN (Busher) LEWIS, popular coach, official, and ball player: "Cheney urates the edge, with Baldwin out but I expect Coach Lap-pehbuschs' boys to pue up a great fight." BUD LOBE, sportswriter for the Bellingham Beacon: "From what I read in the papers, Cheney is as strong as usual. The Vikings are also potent, so it looks like a toss-up." RALPH REED, police chief. "If they keep up the type of ball they exhibited against the WSC Frosh, the Vikings should win." BILL BIDDER, WWC freshman: "I'm puttingmy shekels on Cheney." FRANK DOWNEY, sportswriter for the Herald:;. "Despite shortage of backfield reserves, superior training and speed should carry the Vikings, through to a win. Lappy has a great fighting team ;which is putting college football on the map in Bellingham." BERNICE MONSON, blonde from BHS: "Western Washington. The Vikings are about due for a win over Cheney.' MANUEL, the WPA pick and shovel man: "Quien Sabe?" JACK KILBY, prominent sports booster from Adams Style Shop: "The Vikings are the best defensive team I've seen this year, and with good passing and running, they should win." LOIS HEATON, Girls' club prexy at Bellingham High: "Eastern Washington won last year and the Savages will repeat." LEONARD ANSTETT, ex-Viking athlete: "Looks like a great game, but without Baldwin,' I'm inclined to favor Cheney." Don't take these predictions too seriously because they're only guesses, and "in this uncertain game of football, I'd even hesitate before betting on the Green Bay Packers to defeat Freddy Bartholomew's All Stars. If you really want to know the winner, I have a method that never fails. First, douse three pages of Milton's "Paradise Lost" in boiling water, stir with the Chinese alphabet, hop a train for Cheney and take in the game. gt;:i«(pinq fi,-t7.

Our club has a purpose fourfold That I will reveal today. First it builds up leadership.— Ah! This is plain to see When you watch that Prexy Swisher— She's a trooper, to the "T". WAA girls have loads of fun In swimming, soccer, and the like. And when our five-day week is o'er On Saturdays we take a hike. We bat each other around in hockey, And have house teams in volley- ^ ball. We've even gone for training jockeys, So, you can see—there's sports for all. In sportsmanship we're on the top, With Rupert, Weythman—examples rare Whether we lose or whether we win, Our aim in games is playing fair. And as we work in WAA, As girl to girl new friends we make, Who add the spice and give the pep, And bind a club that gives and takes. Leadership and lots of fun, Of all our goals are only two— Our sportsmanship and friendship Make WAA the club for you. Phone 837-J Op. Leopold Garage Capt.
