Another quarter's supply of ink is almost exhausted and this is another scribe's farewelL Another picture is added to the rogues' gallery of ex-columnists, and may our successors add humor, dignity, or pathos to the Viking pages. —W.S.N.S.— Abraham Lincoln has been found by psychoanalysts to. have had a Schizoid-manic personality because he is supposed to have liked obscene jokes. This discovery can't hurt his reputation. He was supposed to have been a Republican, too. ANNUAL EXERCISES TO FINISH TH1RIY-SEI FACULTY TO FORM AS ESCORTS FOR LINE OF MARCH OF GRADUATES. Local Orchestra DR. W. D. KHtKPATRICK WILL GIVE DIPLOMAS TO GROUP. —W.S.N.S.— Wouldn't it be interesting at this time of the year to look forward a bit and try to picture the graduates, say forty years from now. How many will still be teaching school? How many will have lost all expression except the "normal expression of a teacher"? Perhaps none of them will be teaching school forty years from now. We hope they wont for civilization's sake, and also their own. Just think how old-fashioned you'll be. —W.S.N.S.— A certain well known faculty member walked into The Viking office the other day .and said it was the messiest place in the school, and that she was ashamed to have any of her pupils come into such a place. If any of the teachers' offices had to serve as work room for twenty-five reporters it would probably be messy, too. —W.S.N.5.— Someone in this school has signed up for a six months school at a salary of $60 a month. Others have taken schools at $75 a month. And people talk about a standard of living. Even at $75 a month for a nine months school how long would it take a person to save enough money to go on to college. There may be hard times in other fields, but grammar grade teaching has degenerated from - a position to a job and almost to slave labor, for society still places strict qualifications, moral especially, on her school teachers. If anyone plans teaching school to make money he had better change his plans quickly. It perhaps is a good way to spend a genteel life of poverty, that is if you hold your job. But still can it even be an honorable profession at less than $75 a month? THE WEEK'S WORRIES Getting ready for final tests . . .

Piling through a lane formed by the faculty the graduates will march down the front walk in, the usual drill formation to music'played by the Normal School orchestra. The invocation will be delivered by the Rev. Dwight C. Smith. The audience will sing "America, the Beautiful," following which the commencement address will be given by Mr. Ben H. Kizer of Spokane, Washington. Two selections, "Red Rose" by Hadley and the Ballet Suite, "Rosa-i munde," by Schubert, will be played by the Normal School Orchestra. President C. H. Fisher will present the class and Dr. W. D. Kirk-patrick, chairman of the board of trustees, will present the diplomas. The delivering of the benediction by the Rev. Dwight C. Smith will close the exercises. In accordance with the traditions of the school, the graduating class will hold its customary rituals-tonight in the auditorium and on the campus at 8 o'clock. Opening the exercises with the singing of the Alma Mater by the class, the procedure will continue as in the past. Charles Dowell, president of the Sophomore class, will present the key and book to the Freshman class. Vernon ^Leatha, vice-president of the Freshmen, will accept the trust in behalf of his class. After the singing of "The White and Blue," the graduating class, led by the Sophomore executive council, will go in a procession to the stone. The placing of the numerals in the storied walk will be done by Charles Dowell. When the "Aspiration" has been given by Louise Oberleitner, the procession will continue to Edens Hall, where a reception will be given in honor of the class. GRADERS GIVE PLAY FANTASTIC DRAMA PRESENTED BY SEVENTH GRADE PUPILS. In their regular training school assembly this morning, the members of the Seventh Grade Drama Club gave an excellent presentation of "The Slippers of Cinderella," a fanr tastic play. All the seventh grade teachers and Mr. Victor H. Hoppe helped in the preparation of the play, which centered around the domestic affairs of an English family who suddenly found themselves no longer wealthy and in need of a means to support themselves. Through the magic aid of a fairy godmother the affairs of the household were put in such a state as to put the family in a panic before they can get back to their normal atmosphere before the long-expected very wealthy aunt of the family arrives. Myra, the eldest daughter in the family, is played by Edith Farlow. Polly and Dolly, the twins, are very well portrayed to the audience by Margaret Boyd and Vivian Clark. Jack Whitmore is Jimmy and Agatha-next-door is played by Lorraine Elliers. Margaret. Jane Bruff plays in the role of Jane, the maid. Betty Burnet is Elise and Jean Wellington is the Fairy Godmother. MORNING ASSEMBLY ANNUAL GLASS DAY PRESIDENT FISHER DISCUSSES - WORK ACCOMPLISHED BY THE CLASS SINCE ENTRY. CUP AWARDED KLIPSUN MAKES GAIN FINANCIAL REPORT S HOW S BOOK TO HAVE SLIGHT EDGE. ENROLLMENT OPENS SATURDAY. JUNE 13 ADVANCED COURSES OFFERED IN SEVERAL DEPARTMENTS. ELEVEN ARE PLACED APPOINTMENTS TO TEACHING POSITIONS ARE ANNOUNCED. Registration for the Summer quarter will be held all day Saturday, June 13. Classes will begin the following Monday at 8 a. m. Registration for the coming" quarter will be closed after the first-week of the opening of/the Summer session. Courses i offered are practically identical with those given in previous quarters with the exception that several special courses are offered to meet the needs of the advanced students. Many of the courses are offered for the first half of the quarter, and some for the second half to accommodate students who wish to enroll for shorter terms. Activity Fee Raised To counteract the recent budget cut, the student activity fee will be raised to eight dollars and the library, health and paper fee raised to three dollars, besides the regular course fees and laboratory fees. Several new courses will be offered. Three new Home Economics courses will be taught by Miss Frances Wiley. They are Home Economics 101, Foods and Cookery, a five credit course for students preparing to teach Home Economics. Home Economics 105 is a three As a fitting beginning to the annual Class Day activities, the regular Class Day assembly was held this morning at 11 o'clock in the auditorium. The presenting of the Freshman Cup by Charles Dowell to an outstanding Freshman student started the program. Vocal Solo Given It was followed by a vocal solo by Charlotte Glinesky, accompanied by Aileen Hurlbert. Miss Glinesky sang the charming little number called "Piper June," by Molly Carew. Under the direction of Miss Mildred Jewell of the Physical Education department, the graceful flowing "Valse" was performed by a group of students in the Natural Dancing class. Lois Hesseltine, Virginia Howell, Edythe Koski, Mary McDonald, Evelyn Montgomery, and Wilma Neeley interpreted the rhythm with a subtle grace. Farce Produced With his usual masterly technique and interpretation, Jack Schafer played the "Staccato Caprice" by Max Vogrich. gt; Presented by the Play Production class under the direction of Frances Benson, the amusing farce, "Lov» Is Like That," by Ryerson and Clemens, was a light touch which pleased the students. Frances Wilmarth, Effie Deighton, and Isabel Jenne were starred in the production. President Fisher Speaks As an appropriate climax to the assembly, President C. H. Fisher addressed the students with an inspiring discussion upon the work done by the graduating class. The main business at the -final meeting of the quarter of the Board of Control last night consisted of some back business and bits of rour tine work. Masters, Ruckmick, and O'Donnell were not in attendance. Klipsun Ahead Three of the items dealt with the recent publication of the Klipsun. Suzanne Waters was voted the salary due her for a year's work, which amounted to $100. David Morse reported that financially the book was successful and came out a few dollars ahead. His report was accepted and the Board also awarded him his official VW" pin for work as business manager of the book. Reports were given on the recent Men's Club Vodvil show, and Skot-heim's report on the "Pass Issuance," which wasv held over from the last meeting, was read and accepted. It supplants present Rec hour rules and divides them into clearer points, as well as providing for the carrying out of these. Mixer Planned It was announced that the Board will handle a mixer, to be held at the start of the summer quarter, with the date to be set later. o FOUR OTHER STUDENTS HAVE HIGH AVERAGES; GENERAL LEVEL GOOD. First Winner 130 GRADE POINTS AGGREGATED IN TWO QUARTERS. NICHE IN LIBRARY IN HONOR OF MISS EDENS PLANNED BY SPIESEKE FISHER ADDRESSES ALUMNI GATHERING STRESSES FUTURE GROWTH OF NORMAL AT ANNUAL EVENT. Pointing out some of the problems that the officials of the school have had to meet during the past year and following through with Wilfred Gunderson, modest, red* headed, studious Freshman youth, stepped forward in assembly this morning, his freckled face beaming happily as he heard the sentence: "First winner of the newly established Freshman Scholastic Cup." Four classmates of Gunderson's received honorable mention. In each case their scholastic standing was said to be unusually high. Four Get Mention These four are Paul Williams, president of the class, son of Professor Pelagius Williams and Whatcom high graduate; Dorothy Top, who hails from Everson, a Whatcom county town; Nellie Cox, another local student who completed her high school studies at Whatcom high; and Enid Rasmus, who is an put of the state resident, and who graduated from Astoria, Oregon, high school last spring. Gunderson's record is one of un-' usual high grades, and figured on the basis of the grade point system amounts to 130 points for the Fall and Winteii quarters studies. His Spring quarter work is on an approximately equal standard, and his grades have been given to the awards ---------- Northwest Viking - 1931 June 10 - Page 2 ---------- _Publi«hed evtery Friday except during the month of September, by the Aasnciated Students, Washington State Normal, Bellingha». r - •" i5Se*^fdtkb £t tfMaS 3. a 1 t«7?e,lin8harn* Washin«?t lt;?ri' as s ^ « lt;*W ?»Wr by Printed by the Miller Sutherlen Printing Company, Bellingham National Bank Bldg.

This week, which marks the final issue of the spring quarter, finds The Viking down to six columns. Things are slack, news is hard to get, students are busy with exams, and the paper is appearing three days ahead of schedule to catch the Freshmen before they leave for home. Or maybe it is coming out short columned on account of the fact that the warm weather has rushed the summer season to a certain extent. (These facts ar^ published through the courtesy and cooperation of Mr. L. A. Kibbe, of the faculty, who is the proud owner of every annual published by this school, with the exception of that of 1901. Mr. Kibbe would be very interested in tracing the whereabouts of this one edition.) WE ADVISE, TEN There are over two hundred students finishing up this quarter tomorrow with the certified right to go out and accept jobs to teach youngsters in grade schools. They have had a taste of this work already in their practice teaching and yet there will be problems that will have to be met face to face, placing a responsibility on these people when they receive that diploma tomorrow morning. There are those that have proved themselves fully qualified to go out and take their first school, or school room, as it may be. Others do not appear quite as ready for the task as some of their fellow students, while still others, though we are not authorities on actual teaching fitness, are probably incapable of standing any strong headwinds in their flimsy built crafts. We do not draw our blunt cross-grain of this class, any class for that matter, for they are all divided between the excellent and the poor, by their actual ability to get grades or not to get them, but considerably on their faculties to harmonize with colleagues, strangers, enemies, or varied and new matters that present themselves daily. We are not throwing out innuendoes, nor attempting to "rub" any of those that we have so generally classed in the above part of the article, nor are we thinking of any one person. We do feel that we have a bit of advice that all will agree is logical and a bit that many can well afford to look themselves over carefully for and then inject it into the system if lacking, and if there to still bring in to bear weight—COUNT TO TEN BEFORE ACTING. Few phrases are more widely known, few simpler, few more logical, few more laughed at, and few better for the student starting out of this institution to teach for the first time. That division that includes those well qualified for teaching according to high scholastic marks will include one or two that will encounter trouble by failing to count off those digits and then to use the "Ol' bean next." It will apply to any other of the individual gradings we have slightly outlined here. Don't forget that there will be that student banked upon to make an absolute failure of his first year's work, that will get down and take himself seriously enough to use his energies intelligently and will do a real good job. We sincerely hope that all those graduating tomorrow will be able to land positions before the school year starts next fall. . It is a calamity for them to spend two years or more in preparing themselves for such work and then be unable to get employment. Many have borrowed money that must be paid back and have gone through all that study with the hopes and worries connected with the necessity of getting work. Times are hard, competition strong, nothing can be done to alter the layout at the present, but we can all hope for the better and not 'become too pessimistic and lay down our endeavors as hopeless. We have attempted to serve all under this regime of the paper during the past three quarters with a sheet that is a worthy organ of the school and one that has the best standards obtainable for the situation to be met with each issue. We have made friends and enemies—we expect that in the position we are in. We have listened—sometimes not patiently— to harsh and destructive criticisms, and we have been pleased and honored with handshakes for attributed good work. Modesty is nice, but "he who tooteth not his own horn the same thereof shall not be tooted." Consequently we are not committing error in our own minds by informing the students and faculty that we think we have given them a paper that is worthy of the place accorded in the school. We brought the school a first place from a national paper judging contest that had widespread competition, open to any. We have brought it news never given to the students previously until the following week. We have kept it to many high levels in departments that have been set for us by our predecessors. We have erred several times and have been willing to admit it and do everything in our power to smooth things over so that no harm would come to the school or the individual from it, while we also feel that we have received several knocks and slams entirely unjust and not due us. Through it all we have enjoyed ourselves and feel that the ultimate result is many friends worth having, and we wish to thank all those that have co-operated with us—impossible to do it alone. We hate to see many of the traditions started with the forming of the present graduating class into a freshman class, shattered, so we hand out our goodbye and best wishes now and don't forget—COUNT TO TEN AND THEN USE "THE OL' BEAN." We read where a California judge rules that anyone seeing liquor in a friend's house and failing to report it, is likewise a, law-breaker. Whether the situation is on the prohibition question or not, it will be a hard world to(get along in if everyone is ?fcutting the throat" of his neighbor.;: Revenge will reign supreme.^ ;-.-=^-..- ^?/V.': Would it hot be fascinating to go back thirty-one and a half years ago and witness, the formal opening of this State Normal school? Were You There? Taken from "The Normal Messenger," Fall quarter number of December, 1899, is the following excerpt: "The formal opening reception of the Normal school was held on the evening of October 28. The board of trustees, the faculty and the students received their invited guests, who included the citizens of New Whatcom and all those interested in the building, which was elaborately decorated for the occasion. Among the distinguished guests who were present were Governor and Mrs. John R. Rogers and State Superintendent of Schools Frank J. Browne. A short informal program was presented and refreshments were served in three of the recitation rooms." "She Liked It" From the sublime upward we find notes concerning every form of student and faculty activity, headed by "Truth and Love, the Watchword of the Teacher," an article by the first English instructor, Jane Con-nell. A note from the gay old nineties (this time in the advertising columns) showing that times have changed, but not enough to eliminate those dear old advertising columns: "Bicyclers, Take Note!" "Sarah came into our store, Ordered soda—liked i t - Drank it up and had some more And then went out and biked it. Engberg's Pharmacy, Fairhaven, Wash."

Against the San Francisco .Seals last Saturday, Gaw, in his first trip to the plate, cracked put a home run on the first ball pitched. George Pocock, famous builder of racing shells, who has had his headquarters in the Washington crew house for many years, will have special interest in the regatta on the Hudson this spring. Pocock fashioned seven of the nine shells that will carry the nation's leading crews in the yearly classic. Lake Washington, on June 16 will be the scene of one of the most novel crew races ever seen on the Pacific coast. The crews are called the light weight oarsmen and average about 150 pounds. A newly formed crew from the Husky realm and Don Grant's famous lightweight crew from Yale will tangle for honors. The weight of each crew is not to exceed 1,200 pounds. Gordon Broadbent, a Viking two-year letterman in tennis, was seen roaming about the campus Monday. Gordon was a star on the courts about five or six years ago. gt; It seems to be pretty hard for Norman Bright to leave his old stamping grounds, i. e., the Normal track. In his tapering off work he seems to be putting as much conscientious effort into it as when he Was driving for his record mile two Weeks ago. In a true spirit of something or other, Mr. Sam Ford offered the Co-op baseballers a free candy bar if they downed the Krew. Needless to say, they did. Bronzed athletes of the University of Southern California swept into the National Collegiate Athletic Association track and jfield championship last Saturday with a record smashing total of 77 1-7 points. The Trojans won overwhelmingly. / Their nearest rivaly Ohio State, scored 31 points. Talbot Hartley, U. of W., placed fifth in the 440-yard dash which was won by Williams of U. S. C. Eddie Cenung, defending half-mile champ from Washington, placed third in his event, which was ywon by Dale of the University of Chicago in a thrilling 1:53.5 race. Cenung was but two or three strides behind. College studies suffer more from students dancing than from athletics, says Dr. W. Hamilton Fyfe, principal of Queen's University. Dr. Fyfe admits, however, that "it would be a waste of words to deplore at length the excessive demands of dancing upon the time of some students." Athletic students are .better students than those who spend their spare time dancing, he declares. Seems as though our athletes about school are getting as much of a workout affixing their John Henrys to the new Klipsuns as they would if they were turning out under the coaches. In closing this column for the last issue of this quarter we think it would be entirely fitting-to make a brief survey of the past three quarter's athletic ventures. —o— Last autumn Coach Carver's gridiron men, playing extraordinarily strong teams, did not fare quite so good as far as wins were concerned. They downed the U. S. Coast Guard, Centralia Junior College, and tied a strong College of Puget Sound machine. They dropped games to Cheney, Ellensburg, Oregon State Normal and St. Mar-r tins.

GISSBERG PITCHER Surprising even their most ardent supporters, the dope-upsetting Co-op baseball "ten" won the spring quarter intramural baseball championship by dropping the Kitchen Krew 14-2, Monday evening, in as fast a game as has been played this season. By virtue of this win the Bookstore squad rests on top of the tattered heap which represents the downtrodden and defeated Kitchen Krew, Reynolds Hall, and Fire Hall.. The Co-ops have not played spectacular ball this season but certainly possessed the necessary punch when the pinches came, and we might say that these so-called "pinches" didn't come very often, as the Co-ops usually had enough lead to coast along. Gissberg Pitches The Co-op pennant wnners entered the season play-off with the Krew and Reynolds as the decided underdogs, with the Krew favored to wade through the opposition with little trouble. Rollie Gissberg has been the outstanding moundsman of the series. He was borrowed by the Reynolds Tong and set the Krew down with a 7-6 defeat. This win "deadlocked the three teams for the pennant. Then going back to his own roost, Gissberg twirled his team to an 18-4 victory over the Reynolds team to give he and his mates the second half championship. Then tangling with Skotheim for the third time in the series game, Gissberg again came off- with top honors with a 14-2 win and the season pennant. Needless to say, he was given outstanding support by his teammates. The winners started their part of the game off with a bang, scoring two markers in the first inning. They scored again in the fourth and saw the Krew push across their first marker in the fifth. In the fifth the Co-ops found Skotheim's offerings and before the barrage of hits had ceased they had pushed across four runs. The Krew attempted a rally but succeeded in rolling in only a single man in the sixth. The Co-ops started on the Krew offerings in the sixth where they had left off in the fifth. But this time, before the smoke of battle had swept across the field, the Co-ops had swept across the plate for six runs. Then as a good chaser, the winners broke into the scoring column for a single digit in the final inning. The dust, wind and sun handicapped the players and as a result a few errors were made. The Krew were the greatest offenders and let in several runs via the blunder route. E. Leatha had a perfect day at the plate for the winners, with four bingles in as many attempts. He was followed by Gissberg, who cracked out three hits and as many runs. Davis, Osborne and Stude-baker led the percentage column for the losers with two hits each. This game ended intramural activities for the Spring quarter. More teams will probably be organized during the summer session. o SERVICESJRE HELD REV. JAMES WILSON DELIVERS BACCALAUREATE ADDRESS. Last Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock the baccalaureate services were held for the Normal graduating class of 1931 in the Normal auditorium. Wilson's Sermon The Rev. James M. Wilson, of St. James' Presbyterian church of Bel lingham, delivered the sermon to a large and interested audience. Prances Maurer sang a solo, "O Rest in- the Lord," by Mendelssohn. , The reverend's theme was "Research and Reverence for' Science and Religion." ? Truth, said the minister, is to be found in both these fields, and the truly scientific man is religious. Mr. Wilson \ said that the search for truth leads to God. One is not dependent upon finding God in natural things, the minister held, but may find Him within hisown personality^ The nigh-est;. expressibn of ;Gpd is :m 'the. per-; s6n£iii^;oX;-:^s^ *-';^ BelfefFuled Ladder tournaments in golf, hand* ball, horseshoes, tennis, basketball, and baseball are the men's sports planned for the Summer quarter.; Under the supervision of Howard (Dutch) Wilder the first half of the quarter will be taken up with intramural' basketball. There will be four or five teams in the league. If competition is as keen as preceding summer sessions, all men turning out fortius sport will see real action, j The climax will be two games with;jthe University of Washington summer squad. One. game will be played on the local floor and the other in Seattle. R.: E. (Pop) Gunn will have chargeof the last five weeks of the quarter. Intramural baseball will take the lead. Plans are being formulated for the organization of teams which will participate in league races. A heavy schedule of games is being planned. It is undecided at the present time whether the hard or soft ball will be used. The soft ball seems to be the most desirable. The decision probably will be left up to the players. Some of the old timers such as Tiny Blankenship, Zeke McCurken, Johnny Kure, Boltun, Granny Thor-lakson, Oscar Thorsen, Leaden, H. McCleery, J. McCleery, Iverson, and Skotheim will be out fighting for places on the different teams. o Heavy Schedule of Sports Planned for Girls This Summer A most interesting and varied sports program is being planned by the Women's Physical Education Department for summer school students. The major activities will be archery, baseball, and tennis, coached by Miss Genther and Miss Jewell. Turnouts will begin soon after the quarter opens, and managers will be chosen by the teams themselves at an early turnout. •'-•'•• Schedule Adjusted The schedule of sports is adjusted to the summer recreation program, which sponsors weekly hikes on Wednesday afternoons, and turnout nights for the major sports are Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. Every Wednesday afternoon at 4 o'clock there will be group turnouts in baseball, and at these times both the men and women of the school will participate. Tournaments for these sports will be held, and there may be a horseshoe tournament also, depending upon the number who are interested. Miss Genther is taking Miss Horton's place as swimming instructor and she is planning various swimming activities. A large number of W. A. A. members are returning to school, and with their help this summer's sports program should be an exceedingly good one. o TEACHERS SELECTED FOR SUMMER SESSION (Continued from Page One) R. E. Gunn from the Normal will be the instructor in Physical Education for Men. Miss Jennie Waugh, who will instruct in Speech, has an A. B., Tarkio College, Missouri; A. M., Northwestern University, and has been instructor in Speech at Hastings College, Nebraska. Miss Frances Wiley, who has been instructor in Home Economics at the Drexel Institute in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, will teach in the Home Economics department. Wells From Oregon Earl W.

And what will we wear? Never before have pajamas been so popular as this summer, and heres an idea we saw the other day. What could be more clever tharl a "3 in 1" outfit, which combines a house frock, gym shorts^ and beach pajamas. Minus the . skirt you have a charming oner-piece gym or clogging suit (everyone's clogging nowadays), button on a skirt at the waist for a dress, or fasten on two skirt sections at the bottom of the shorts for floppy legged pajamas. When yon get the necessary coat of tan (quite painlessly if you use a sunburn cream), you may adopt the bizarre Algerian colors—and white—for these are the most popular for summer. Exotic hues of red, green, yellow, purple, and blue clash with amazingly good taste in most charming materials. Pajamas are of hardly, rough materials— jerseys, linens and rajahs are practically the entire list tolerated by fashion. Large floppy beach hats are picturesquely showing up on the beach, and also quite the best looking beach shoes we've seen. Sandals are made without toes, straps hold them hi place, and the fabric is gay flowered and striped canvas and" kidskin. And since the necessity of Wearing bathing suits is impressed on us by officials, our attention turns to their looks. Two-piece suits are favored by many, and also the Lido suits with straps to allow for sun tan, are as popular as last summer. White suits are a pleasing contrast with an olive complexion. Bernice Anderson wears a summery looking suit of rose colored silk trimmed with stitched bands which is extremely good looking. And Eileen Finley has a new creation in the way of hats, which she assures us is taking the place of the beret in Paris. It is a sort of a boucle with a jtwisted banc^' round the tight fitting crown, and makes a very chic appearance. o HUNT AND REPORTERS REPLY TO COLUMNIST (Continued from Page One) On Thursday evening, June 4, the Vanadis Bragi held its last meeting of the quarter. After a short business meeting, Miss M. Hickman, director of the Girls' Reserves in Bellingham, held a discussion on the work of the or7 ganization for girls. She pointed v out the opp^unities^ in that line for girls--who. are^interested ^ recting groups M.young propte/^^ since coming to the Normal and was on the Super Varsity basketball team last year.

FISHER SPEAKS £\:£. ^ - ^ M ^ B A N Q I J ET (Continued from Page One) much in praise of pur -board of trustees. These men behind the scenes met our emergency situation in a magnificent way. Had the board of trustees been made up of men of less vision and understanding we might have a different story to tell. According to the outcome Of our difficulties there has been pre^ served everything that is significant and that is essential. Both students and faculty have responded to the demands of the situation with a wonderful spirit," the President stated. Some changes were necessary to assure the operation, of the school under such a financial handicap, President Fisher pointed out, but he expressed his gratitude to every member of the faculty for their co-operation. President Fisher told the Alumni that a junior high training school to accommodate about 150 students was greatly needed at the Normal so that teachers may prepare themselves for that division of the profession. Teachers Co-operate Although the cutting of salaries was necessary because of the reduction in the budget, not a teacher in the school resigned or refused to sign a- contract for the coming year because of reduced salaries. A welcome was extended to the Alumni. The spirit of the school was lauded and President Fisher said the Normal was a school to be proud of by all graduates. Stress was laid upon the requirements for teaching which have been raised from the three months of a few years ago to three years beginning next fall. He briefly described the first class of 1900, composed of eight women, as compared with the present year, when about 220 will be graduated. The school has graduated about 6,500 students since 1900, he said. Herbert Hansen, of Seattle, a graduate of 1921, was elected president of the Alumni Association for the next year. Hansen succeeded Kenneth Selby, also of Seattle. Selby was not present at the banquet. Lyle Summers was chosen vice-president to succeed Albert Booman, of Lynden. Booman acted as chairman at the banquet. Georgia Gragg was re-elected secretary-treasurer. A fund will be established by the Alumni to purchase books for the library. The fund will be a memorial to the late Olive Edens, it was said. Diplomas Presented Dr. Fisher presented 275 life diplomas to those completing the necessary requirements. He said, that teachers found it morel, difficult each year to qualify for the diplomas. The requirements are made strict to improve the educational system, he said. Washington state should be proud of the high standard that class room teaching has attained, President Fisher said. Representatives from a number of former graduating classes were called upon for brief talks. Miss Emma Whitworth was a representative of the oldest graduating class of the school. She belongs to the class of 1901. Others heard in talks were Mrs. Ethel Birney Laube, 1906; Herbert Hansen, 1921; George Abbey, 1926, and Miss Mary McDonald, 1931. Miss Frances Maurer was heard in vocal solos. Albert Booman called the roll of all classes. The entire body joined in singing school songs. Dr. W. D. Kirkpatrick, chairman of the board of trustees, was scheduled to talk, but was called away early in the evening. Program Song Alma Mater Presentation of Life Diplomas President C. H.

XXIX—NO. 43 WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Friday, May 23, 1930 Tri-Normal Meet Tomorrow -*• Normalite TEACHER'S TASK BERTRAND RUSSELL CYNICAL YOUTH TRUTH —ARDEN BENTHIEN We are sorry to tell you that the illness of Bob Walters, the regular writer of this column,' makes it impossible for him to write it this week. We wish him a speedy recovery. For now, we have had the honor to be selected in his place. Consider yourselves introduced. W. S. N. S. Now that graduation time is approaching, we cannot help considering the serious nature of the profession of teaching. It is hard for us to conceive the fact that each of these boys and girls with whom we Tiave associated for the past nine months will soon have entirely in his hands the gigantic responsibility of guiding the education of from twenty to thirty young lives, For it is a gigantic responsibility. It would be gigantic if there were but a single life involved. When you consider, as we did, the potentialities that may lie in the mind of a child, and realize the extreme delicacy with which they must necessarily be directd if the child is to be a true man, or a true woman, we think that you will be struck, as we were, with the enormity of t h e task which a teacher undertakes. W. S. N. S. We have been reading- an article in a recent magazine on "Why is Modern Youth Cynical?" by Ber-trand Russell. His main discussion is grouped under five heads: Religion, Country, Progress, Beauty, and Truth. Do you notice that these five things are probably the ones most worth living for? Any one discrediting the value of any one of them is certainly worthy of the brand of cynic. Because we think they are worth while, we are going to pass on in brief Bertrand Russell's reasons for the loss of the prestige of these standards in the minds of modern youth. W. S. N. S. Religion has lost its importance l o r two reasons. First, the God of -the modern has lost his definiteness. He is thought of as something -vague, as a "Life Force," or a "Power not ourselves that makes for righteousness." Second, the churches of today have built up an oppressive system of ethics that condemns many apparently harmless pleasures, and has probably been the greatest of factors in keeping youth from the churches. Russell says, "I have known earnest young men who- accepted wholeheartedly the teachings of Christ; they found themselves in opposition to official Christianity." W. S. N. S. Love of country, or patriotism, is almost a lost ideal. The fact that the power of nationalism is so frequently misused in a free nation has made it apparent to youthful intelligence that patriotism is the 'chief curse of the age." W. S. N.-S. Our ideals of progress have too much of the character of Babbitt about them. Only measurable progress is recognized today, and it is Russell's belief (and ours) that the really important things are not measurable at all. Hence modern youth, vaguely sensing an insincerity in the basis nature of the present conception of "Progress," thinks but little of it as an ideal. -W. S. N. S. The word "Beauty" has lost its significance. There is somehow an old-fashioned touch to the very thought of beauty as an ideal. As Russell says, "A modern artist would be indignant if he were accused of seeking beauty." He seems to rather seek to startle. W. S. N. S. Truth, instead of being an ideal in present days, is something to be torn down. All sorts of enemies are at constant war with it: pragmatism, behaviorism, psychologism, relativity, physics. It is virtually impossible for an educated person to worship truth, knowing that there is no one truth that is better than another truth. W. S. N. S. We saw a group of little third or fourth grade training school children playing out on the mound, or the heap, or the hillock, or whatever you call it. Somehow they looked better there than they do swinging in iron swings. Drama Club Play Pleases Audience DRAMA CLUB PLAY IS WELL RECEIVED BY LARGE AUDIENCE First Showing of Phillip Barry's "The Youngest" Is Well Received by Appreciative Students. Last night a large and appreciate audience witnessed the first performance of the Drama Club's presentation of "The Youngest" an exceptionally entertaining comedy by Philip Barry. It is certain that if any among the audience were at odds with life and disgusted with conditions in general when they at-tered the auditorium, they left with a lightheartedness and spirit of "All's right with the world." The excellent cast and artistic planning of every scene put the play over in a notable manner. Victor H. Hoppe directed the production and is to be praised for his ability in the techincal direction as well as in training the cast to live and become one with their parts. His assistant was Virginia Howell, who did efficient work as business manager and acted the role of maid in the play. If you -know the trials and tribulations of being the youngest child in a family you are duly qualified to suffer with Tom Durham. Mr. Durham elicited sympathy and provided much amusement, as Richard Wins-low. He was a boy with ambitions, standing alone and being stormed at on every side by a practical family. His. boyish disgust, sincerity, and bravado were delightful. Charming is the one word fitting Lou Griffin in the feminine lead as Nancy. Her cleverness in handling the whole family make you doubt her sincerity, but she showed up "true blue" at (Continued on Page Four) o LEAGUE HAS SECOND MEETING OF QUARTER Install Jennie Berg, New President, by Retiring President, Jean Phil-ippi; Musical Program Enjoyed. The Womens League held their second assembly of the quarter last Fi'iday May 16. A discussion led by President Jean Philippi, was held concerning plans which would enable the League to raise more money for the activity program, and the advisability of assigning Big Sister for Freshmen girls next fall, was considered. Following these discussions a program was presented under the direction of Gladys Smith. Jennie Berg, newly elected president, announced the numbers. Margaret Morrison gave a piano solo, followed by a violin solo by Ethel Boynton, accompanied by Muriel Myhre. Evelyn Montgomery sang two songs, and was accompanied by Dorothy Montgomery at the piano. Piano Students to Appear Assembly Jean Philippi and Suzanne Ciss-na, students of Edith R. Strange, of the department of Music, will be presented in a musical recital by Miss Strange in the regular assembly next Tuesday, May 27. They will be assisted by Mary Miller, Irene Wilson, Muriel Myhre, Betty Bellman, Kathryn Berkeley, and Clara Vander Griend. This program promises to be exceptionally interesting in view of the fact that almost all of the young musicians are students of the Normal school, except Suzanne Ciss-na, who is a student in the training school. Miss Philippi has appeared before audiences here several times and always has been enthusiastically received. As the student body sems to appreciate programs presented by some of their own members, this is certain to prove stimulating. A varied and well-balanced program has been arranged which will include solos and two piano ensemble numbers. Have Important Roles In "The Youngest" LOU DU BOIS TOM DURHAM EDENS HALL GIRLS TO GIVE INFORMAL TOMORROW EVENING Dancing Will Start at 8:30, With the Five Bumble B's Playing; Lou Mohring General Chairman. Julius Raplee, who is a missionary in Venezuela, South America, at the Osanako mission, and who is now home on a furlough, gave a very interesting and instructive talk to-the Y. W. C. A. recently on the conditions in South America. He was very well received. A spring dance is to be given in the blue room of Edens Hall tomorrow night by the girls of the dormitory, in place of the customary informal. It was decided to make the affair as simple as possible on account of the lateness of the date. A spring decoration motif is to be carried out with flowers and greenery and music will be furnished by the Five Bumble B's. I t was decided not to invite patrons and patronesses, although Mrs. Alice Houston, Miss Fern Johnson, and Miss Adele M. Jones will attend the affair. "The girls have planned a very attractive dance", Lucille Mohring chairman of the social committee declared, "and have arranged for unusually clever programs. Mary Miller is chairman of the decoration committee. Jane Polachek is taking ctre of the programs and Betty Pederson is heading the clean-up committee." Will Award Cup to Tennis Victors No regular meeting of the Board of Control was held this week, although a special meeting was held Friday of last week to determine whether a cup would be given for the winner of the Tri-Normal tennis tournament tomorrow. It was decided that the Co-Op would donate a cup for the meet, which will become the permanent property of the winning team. It was also suggested that our Athletic department get in touch with those of the other two schools and arrange for a more elaborate cup to be given next year. The board will advise that the Trf- Normal cup become the permanent property of one school only after a series of winning meets. o WILL HOLD BANQUET On Friday, May 23, the Alkisiah Club will hold its Spring Quarter Banquet in the Montague-McHugh tearooms. o Poor Health Forces Associate Editor to Discontinue Studies Bob Walters, associate editor of the Viking, was the second Normal student to find it necessary to leave school this week on account of illness. Mr. Walters had been suffering for several weeks with attacks of the grip and flu, and upon an examination Wednesday it was learned that he has sinus trouble. He will remain under the care of Dr. E. F. Larkin for several days before returning to his home in Astoria, Oi'egon. During the absence of Mr. Walters, "Normalite", popular feature column of the Viking, will be handled by Arden Benthien. MR. BOND GIVES ADDRESSES E. A. Bond, of the Mathemathics department delivered the Commencement Day address at Maple Falls last Friday evening and at Puyallup on Monday. There were 125 graduates from Puyallup High this year, Mr. Bond said. o IVERSON ELECTED AS MEN'S CLUB PREXY Ingwald Iverson- was elected to the presidency of the Mens club at the meeting held last Friday, and Allen Ross was elected to the vice presidency, while Eddie Dyff was selected as secretary-treasurer, and Earl Hutchins was named to represent the organization in the Inter- Club council. A new amendment to the constitution was adopted, making the term of officer three quarters, rather than one quarter, as has been done in the past. Following the business meeting, Herbert Ruckmick gave an interesting talk on Photography, and explained the rapidly expanding importance of that interesting avocation. o SENIORS TO PICNIC AT LAKE SAMISH BUREAU APPOINTS MANY TO POSITIONS DURING BUSY WEEK Work Increases for Appointment Bureau as Time for Graduation Draws Nearer; Many ---------- Northwest Viking - 1930 May 23 - Page 2 ---------- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^w w? lt; Wm$^m8@m WA^NCH^NS^^ Formerly The Wee*iy Messenger—Founded 1899 Published evtery Friday except during the month of September, Students, Washington State Normal, Bellingham. ^ by the Associated € Entered in the Postoffice at Bellingham, Washington, as second class matter by Virtue of the act of March 3, 1879. . , Printed by the Miller _ Sutherlen Printing Company, Bellingham National Bank Bldg.

Macgill Clayton Unger Julia Bouck Hugh Lovegren BAYING THE MOON. Luring the present quarter, which will soon be the past quarter, many reform, have been agitated by students, though few with any effect. Nor has this quarter been an exceptional one. The fact of the matter is that students are constantly suggesting reforms, but seldom with any air ot conviction. We believe that the reason for this is that students have done much revolting over alleged injustices that they have gotten so calloused that they can't convince themselves any longer. We believe that the great-est drawback to student reforms is that we students yell too much and too We are agitated over everything. If the soup is cold some noon, we bellow about it. If the spinach displeases us, we point our faces to the sky and bawl. In fact, whenever we become displeased, we throw our B y lungs into action, and the whole pack of us go into full cry. Which would be all right if we used some discretion about it. But Ae truth is, we shout so loudly and so long that the faculty (who hold the whip hand in any dispute), become accustomed to it, and rather than lend us the serious ear, treat us with about the same respect that they would show me midnight tomcat on the back fence. We are either thrown out, or we are yelled down. And, consequently, a lot of mighty !'|p^"i«fbnns which would, perhaps, contribute to the efficiency of the school, go by the board. o MEN'S CLUB ' . \ . ' Comedy in One Act ; PRESIDENT: Gentlemen, let us come to order. :^t"y^MRvA.: I move, Mr. President, that in order to expedite matters, we dispense with the ordinary formalities of parliamentary order. MR. B.: I agree with Mr. A., but let us do so formally. I move that we take a standing vote to dispense with the formalities. H MR* C : I move that we merely raise our right hands. MR. X.: I second the motion. PRESIDENT:.. I beg your pardon, but which motion did you second? The second one, sir. I seconded the first motion, sir; but my voice was Well, here y'are, studes. We've been doing nothing but finding fault for some time now. Satire is nice, all right, but gee, it's tiresome to always be bitter about something. .* * * There's one thing yet that bothers us, though. We don't know what the idea is of having all these darned radiator pipes exposed. We are, at present, nursing a swell (ed) big blister on bur left elbow, a most inconvenient place. All we did was reach down after a pencil on the floor, but we let said elbow sway carelessly around as we reached, and sowie!—we got burned! Now, why should that be? * * * Also, we have observed that these blamed pipes are hot as—, well, very hot, even on the balmiest of spring days. Probably we'd better not pass any criticism on that fact, though. We may get ourselves involved in the dark and mysterious science of heating and show off our ignorance of said science. There may be a certain necessary amount of fuel to be consumed each day, or something. We really don't know. # * * Ahem! The "Sage Cynic" came forth in a student opinion last week to take exception to the term "male alarm clock", used in a recent Viking feature. We can't imagine who of the Viking staff could be guilty of such terrible indiscretion... But anyway, gracious us, gracious us, this ignorance is pitiful.. Almost everybody knows that alarm clocks are made in two sexes. Gee whiz, we learned thta when we were a mere child! And anyone writing of alarm clocks should distinguish, you know, so as to make his meaning clear. MR.X.: MR.Z.: not heard MR. X.: I beg your pardon, Mr. Z., but according to parliamentary procedure—and so on, ad infinitum. EXTEMPO CONTEST Glancing over the list of winners of the Fall and Winter elimination contests for the year's best extemporaneous speaker, Quick, Langworthy, Fitzwater, and Gerold, it appears that the final contest speeches on June 3 should be the best that Normal students have heard since the contests were started. Rumors have it that a number of other veterans will be eliminating each other in the preliminary, and this will doubtless put two more speakers of tried ability into the finals. But what with the competition this,year, the winner of the Extempo Cup will have something to write home about. This name, "Sage Cynic", though, has caused us considerable wonder. When we referred to the dictionary, we found that "Sage", means "wise; discerning;., well-judged;., discriminating; characterized by wisdom grave". Well, that left us still wondering. How could anyone be wise and discerning when he didn't even know that there were such things as male alarm clocks? Humph, say we! * ff * And this word "Cynic" bothered us, too. It means "a morose, surly or sarcastic person; or one of a sect of ancient Greek philosophers". Now that's not very blinking consistent. We ask you, could anyone "characterized by wisdom" be "morose" or "surly"? We think not. And as to the latter part of the definition, we could see how a person could be "Greek", all right, but "ancient"?.. —M—m—m—m— we think not, anyway. Names like that are just too deep for us, we guess. * * 0 Just to change the subject, we'll quote something a fellow named Coleman Cox, once said: "I am a great believer in luck. The harder I work, the more of it I seem, to have". Figure it out for yourself. * * • gt; GREAT SIMPLE FACTS 1. Though our relatives are wished upon us, our friends we can always pick for ourselves. 2. Though our faces are wished upon us, our noses we can always— Gracious!.. That was almost a break! Student Opinion Just a word to back up -Editor Craft's plea for an orientation course influencing the student's appreciation of music. Unless a student is naturally musical or comes from a rare school in which music has been regarded with the same importance as the necessary courses, he is going to enter Normal with a very meager knowledge of this art. It has been the lot of many of us to graduate from country schools where musical instruction occurred once a week and we were taught to carry a tune. From there to high school where we learned the definition of that high and mighty word, "opera," where interested ones sang in glee clubs, and where, if the school happened to have a fitting instructor, an orchestra was organized for a certain few who had been fortunate enough to take lessons. Now let an individual of that musical training enter Normal, plunge him into the musical artists' courses, make him listen to the gifted and trained musicians who bring us music in its highest form—will he understand and appreciate? Ten to one, No! He will sit restlessly in assembly, either read, disturb others, or look bored. But give him a working knowledge of what it is all about, instruct him while he has the chance to listen to artists, or just open the door for him a few inches. Soon you will find he has pushed it wide open and is exploring the beauty and wonders of a glorious new world inside. —W. L. o Hospital Notes Normalites Earn in Devious Ways DRAMA CLUB PLAY Those who did not see "The Youngest," last night, should date themselves up for the Drama Club Play tonight. The directors promised a good play, well acted, and it may be a long time before many of us will be able to see another. If you have been lulled to non-resistance during the past month by artificial dime-novel talkie-singie-dancies, it will amaze you how much you have been cheated out of when you see a group of human beings, under artistic direction, playing a play that was written by an artist for people who want their comedies and their tragedies to have tomething of beauty in them. Fisher Stresses Normal Loan Fund - « • »»ii Committee on Life Diplomas Receives Favorable Reports What qualities do a school board and district superintendent expect a teacher to have? The answer to this question may be found in the questionnaires re-turried to the Life Diploma Committee concerning persons who have made applications for life diplomas. These questionnaires are sent to school boards and district superintendents to find out the success that new teachers have had in | i i their first three or four years of Bleaching.- .'• fpli iTtoe ':kind of reports which the pf committee likes to receive are those which have nothing but praise for J that teacher. Some of these run as i follciws:••-This girl is an exceptionally efficient teacher". "She is a ppi thorough worker and has good co- operation with students, faculty, iSindparents". "He is a fme leader ^lindabasthe confidence of his pupils". "She is the most resourceful and original teacher in the system". "He is an exceptionally fine young man, refined, quiet manners, pleasant to work with, and willing to cooperate". "Each year she has shown improvement". "She is a fine classroom leader and a growing teacher". "She is doing splendid work and I would not hesitate to re-employ her". There are some reports on the other hand which the committee does not like to receive. These are of this type. "He was interested in his work but would not co-operate". "She was willing but not efficient", or "She has a good character but lacks general culture". The committee cannot conscientiously grant diplomas on reports of this kind so they usually recommend that the applicants teach their full five years. To date, 116 applicants have been approved and 31 turned down. At a recent assembly President C. H. Fisher, emphasized among other things, the fact that we have a Student Loan Fund. Commenting later on the fund, Miss Theresa Gunther, chairman of the Student Loan Fund committee, declared: "Any student may borrow from the Student Loan Fund on certain condtiions. Application to be made to the chairman of the Loan committee. This committee is composed of faculty members who are appointed by the president. Upon recommendation of the committee the student may be granted a loan from the fund under certain conditions. The total amount loaned to any student during his entire stay at Normal is $200.00. No loan can be made at any one time of more than fifty dollars to Freshmen or seventy-five dollars to Sophomores. The provisions are: 1. That the student must have been in attendance at the Normal school for a period not less than one quarter and ---------- Northwest Viking - 1930 May 23 - Page 3 ---------- $Mm? WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Wwm^lWWWWW'M^M TROPHY CUP GIVEN TO WINNING TEAM In Tri-Normal Tennis Meet to be Held on Courts Here Tomorrow; Kork, Emery, and Jewell Play. /'Wwrni^w^w^Mmi^m WHO WILL WIN TOMORROW? Tomorrow will be the climax of the intensive training of the Viking •track men. Up to this time they have been working hard in dual meets and in practice to get themselves toned up for this big final event. Although the track squad has been small throughout the whole season a real conscientious attitude has been taken by t h e fellows this giving them an even break with Cheney for the Tri-Normal championship by their dogged persistence to win, as has been shown in t he past two dual meets with the College of Puget Sound and Ellensburg. Both of these schools took defeat, at the hands of the Vikings by scores of 78 1-3 to 51 2-3 and 88 to 42 respectively. These scores might indicate that either we have an exceptionally strong team or else the teams we have met were very weak. Ellensburg will undoubtedly be out of the race for the title. Cheney will probably manage to garner a few more points than Bellingham. That is, if the past times of some of the .runs of the Cheney athletes prove to be true. The best race will probably be in the two-mile run between Brink-man and Pelly. Last year Brink-man barely nosed out Pelly and this year Pelly will give Brinkman a better race because of his past defeat. At least it will probably be the most interesting race of the meet. Some other good races will be in the 440 and 880, but the mile and sprints will probably not be so , interesting. If Cheney is very strong in t he field events the meet will go to Cheney without a doubt, but if we can equal Cheney in the field events it is going to be a real question as to whom the pennant is going to go to. As far as I have been able to figure the whole situation out, no one can afford to miss the meet. The least you can do is come and root for your Alma Mater. o WEATHER SLOWS BASEBALL PRACTICES The weather has been playing havoc with the baseball team in both the schedule of games and in practices. In the past two weeks very few practices have been possible because of the dampness of the soil. Last Saturday the annual clash with the U. of W. Prosh had to be postponed because of the rain. Only one intramural game has been played in the past, two weeks. Handicapped with such conditions the coach and team should consider themselves lucky if they can get by their next game with a win. If they lose we cannot blame the team. The old Weather Man is the one to attach the blame to. o TRI-NORMAL TENNIS MATCHES Our tennis teams have shown considerable progress in the past few weks. I n t h e first matches with the U. of W. Prosh, the Prosh took practically every game, but in t he last matches the Vikings took several games and the Prosh were nearly defeated in several of the sets. If this can be taken as a basis, the netmen may come out on top of the pile with the Tri-Normal championship belt attached to them. Of course the team from Cheney and Ellensburg have to be considered, but since there has not been ,any dope available on them it is hard to say how strong they really are. All that I can say is if you really wish to see some real tennis sets be at the courts Saturday morning. o RECORDS MAY BE LOWERED Some records will probably be lowered tomorrow by over-anxious Normal athletes as they will strive to set a record for themselves. In the pole vault if everything goes all right the record will falL The present record stands at 11 feet 6 inches, and Flowers can equal this if not beat it. In the two-mile run the record will fall. The present record is 10:26, and Brinkman and Pelly have both run the distance in less time this season. , The mile record will probably fall if Pelly runs the four laps in as ** fast a time as he has been doing. The present record stands at :4:40.2. o — DO NOT FORGET THESE EVENTS There are three things that you must not forget this week-end. The Drama Club Play, "The Youngest." The Tri-Normal Tennis and Track meet; and the coming of the Viking Vodvil. Have you been practicing on your acts. Remember, try-outs are to be held on May 27 and a cup is to be offered as first prize. Who is going to win t he cup this year? The Thespians walked off with it last year. There will also be other ' big surprises this year. Tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock, tennis stars from Bellingham, Cheney and Ellensburg will get under way for the annual tri-normal matches. Two singles and a doubles champion will be picked, and the school winning the majority of these matches will be given the championship trophy cup. Just how the matches ' will turn out is a problem. Although the Vikings dropped both of their matches to the Washington Prosh, they are figured a chance to cop the tourney. Little is known of the other two schools' strength. Cheney defeated Whitman College, which means something, but nothing has been heard from Ellensburg. The Viking team is yet partly undecided. Rork is slated to play the first singles and will pair up with Emory in the doubles. Jewell or Cdn-stantine will play second singles, Wednesday Jewell defeated the latter, 6-7, 3-6, 7-5, but another match is yet to be played. s Frosh Repeat The University of Washington Frosh again defeated the Vikings in six straight matches in a contest played here Friday, May 16. Every match was hard-fought, however, and the Frosh had to go a t top-speed all the way. Rork was defeated by Sletterdahl, 2-6, 6-2, 6-2, and Constantine lost to Reike, 6-2, 6-3. Emery dropped a hardfought contest to Pierson, 6-4, 9-7, while Jewell lost an equally hard one to Talbot, 7-5, 6-2. In doubles Rork and Emery came close, but were defeated by Reike and Sletterdahl, 6-3, 4-6, 6-4. Talbot and Ellerby completed the defeat, winning from Jewell and Constantine, 6-4, 6-3. o ATTEMPT TO MAKE HANDBALL REGULAR SPORT SUCCESSFUL Viking Nine Have Two Games Scheduled to Be Played Next Week Some were glad and some were sad, as the last of the technique practices closed Tuesday night for Women's baseball. Despite threatening clouds and high wind that raged, the valiant women stuck to the posts assigned them to raise their standard of the number of fair balls, hits, number caught and, above all, to keep down the number of missed balls. From raw, unseasoned material, Miss Mildred Jewell and the managers have worked up some very promising stuff for a good, peppy Freshman and Sophomore team. The Freshman have the odds on the Sophs with the hardest-hitting and surest-catching group of all. Sigrid Wiberg seems to have cinched the berth of pitcher for the Frosh, as no one else tried out. On t he Sophomore side the strong arm of Gay Smith would cause an even balance of power. The teams will be picked for sure, Thursday. Then some close games can be expected. When it comes time to pick the All-Star team the great question mark will be raised again, for even the coach will be hard hit to decide on the right ones. o PHiLO THESPIANS ON BIG WEEK-END TRIP VIKING CINDER MEN BURY ELLENSBURG Eleven Firsts Help Viking Boys Win a n Easy 88 to 42 Victory Over Foe, in Dual Track Meet; Blistered hands, tired and aching feet, and an earnest desire to at least get one good sock at the little rubber ball is the result of the first attempt at putting handball over as a part of the regular Spring sport's program for Women's Athletics. The turnouts showed a wealth of promising material for a hard-hitting team. Many hours have been spent in practice of serving and r e ceiving the ball. A round-robin tournament was put in play with the following women entered on the ladder: Evelyn Forest, Alena Bever, Marietta Bergeron, Thelma Hilburger, Olevene Bewely, Phyliss Gresnan. Each woman must win two games out of three in her matches. Twenty-one points constitutes a game. If a woman makes the first team 100 points are earned. Fifty points are earned for the intramurals. Miss Margeiy Horton urges support for this new sport, for only by support can the girls be spurred on to victory for t he Blue and White. o Archery Tournament Proves Interesting Sherwood Forest, transplanted to lower Sehome Hill, is the scene of the women's Robin Hood tournament of the Normal. When the challenging started, no one knew who would be the winners. It still looks doubtful, for the contestants creep up on one another every day that matches are played. The standing of the women entered to date is as follows: •Hunt, Towner, Koshi, May, Thompson, Bresnan, Pearson, Dahl. The outcome of the remaining matches to be played will decide high players of the tournament and pick the Freshman and Sophomore teams. These two classes will then shoot for the honors of the class. From these teams the all-star players are picked who will shoot for grand prize winner of the school on Field Day. o Frank Everenden will spend the week-end in Seattle on business. Fifty-three gallant Philo-Thes-pian sailors boarded the yacht Thetis at 4 o'clock last Saturday, planning to have the time of their lives on the week-end trip at Olga beach, on Orcas island. And they did! It was slow moving, going over, the trip taking about three and a half hours. Along' toward 7 o'clock people became decidedly hungry and so much fruit and several loaves of bread miraculously disappeared from the food supply. Having landed on shore with only a few sick sailors, working crews set forth to prepare lodging for the night and most of all, a meal for the starving crowd. Around 9 o'clock the whole family was eating heartily of the best meal they ever tasted. "5 Bumble Bees" Play A dance at which the '*5 Bumble The Normal Vikings had little trouble defeating the Ellensburg Wildcats in a dual track and field meet held here, Friday, May 16.

WASHINGTON EXTEMPO GUP MEANS OF INSPIRATION FOR POTENTIAL ORATORS Speech Contests Institution for Three Years; Women Monopolize Engraving Privileges. Training School Extempo loving cup! The name is heard after every contest and is the honored goal of the winner, but to how many does it appear any more than a name? The students are quite naturally and properly concerned only with the speaker, but, for once, let us reverse things and think only of the cup, its meaning; and what it may stand for in the life of a student. Proudly it stands, and engraved on its glossy sides are the names of individuals who burst, through the narrow bands of doubt and timidity, who faced the public fearlessly and gave to them thoughts original and significant. Probably t h a t public appearance awakened a latent ambition of the speaker, gave him a new and cosmopolitan view of life, while at the same itime there was a spirit of emulation created among the listeners. They awoke to the importance and value of such an activity and this led naturally to a stimulation, and from there to a higher standard in the public speaking and debate of the school. The current topics used as subjects by the speakers helped to give a new slant on problems of national interest. The cup came into the life of Normal in 1927 with the advent of the Extemporaneous Speech contests. For that year June Wetherell won the place of honor followed by Margaret Hill in 1928, and by Joy Efte-land in 1929. The cup is anticipating now, stai proudly, the individual whom it may honor for 1930. Incidentally, the names so far have been girls and our great orators have been men—perhaps our noble cup puzzles over that. — o WOMEN'S MUSIC CLUB PRESENTS CONCERT The Bellingham Women's Music Club Chorus was presented in its annual Spring concert in the assembly Tuesday, May 20. The club is under the direction of Harrison Raymond and Althea Horst Raymond played the accampaniment. Ethel Lever Hawes, soprano of Vancouver, B. C, assisted as soloist. The first part of the program consisted of numbers by the chorus and a group of solos. The remainder of the hour was given to the rendition of "The River of Stars," a cantata by Mr. Bawdin, with words by Alfred Noyes. PLAY DAY Wednesday, May 21, was Play Day in the Training School. A picnic lunch was enjoyed at 11:20 and rhythms and dances on the knoll by each grade, tumbling and mat demonstrations by the boys, with a final windup led by the pre-pri-mary were events of the morning. I n the afternoon there were games on the field: Baseball, service ball, ring tennis, relays, tags and so forth, in which every one took part. Play Day was originally intended as a joint activity participated in by the training school and students, from the country ^schools. This year, however, the outside children were unable to attend on account of epidemics. VIKING REPORTERS VISIT LOCAL PAPER Last Tuesday, at 2 o'clock, members of the News Writing classes and several other interested students went on a tour of inspection through The Herald press and composing rooms. Packed in and around Mr. Fowler's Ford sedan and Clayton Ungcr's "Chev" coupe, the thirteen members of the party let the school and sped down to the Kerald building, where they were met and escorted on their tour by Charles Sefrit, of the Herald staff. Many Interesting Features Several interesting features of the trip were the inspection of the morgue, the place in which all cuts and pictures are kept; the machine in which the mats for stereotyping were moulded; the machines which automatically receive news over the United Press and Associated Press wires, and the printing of the mailing edition of the Evening Herald. Following are the names of those students who made the trip: Harold Magelson, Florence Elliott, Clayton Unger, Wave Lampman, Myrna Thompson, Martin Jackson, Coressa Shull, E. Canfield, Charles Dewey, Mrs. Sarah Magill, Elinor Anderson, Marion Marchand, and Hugh Love-gren. o TRI-NORMAL MEET HERE TOMORROW (Continued from Page One) prospects have been looking brighter, but certainly no dope slinger can name with fair accurracy the winning team. In 1928 Ellensburg was the winner but last year the Vikings won at Cheney by one point, the score standing: Ellensburg 20; Cheney 55; and Bellingham 56. This year Cheney has a good man in Pelley, who is an exceptional miler and two miler. He is expected to break a tri-meet record. Flowers of Bellingham also has a chance to break a record in the pole vault. So who will win is a big question. MISS RICH RETURNS Miss Mary E. Rich, director of the Training school, returned Wednesday noon from an extended trip through the East, in time for the Play Day activities. o The training school children will hold their annual "Hour of Song" at the regular nine o'clock assembly hour next Thursday, May 29. The purpose of this hour of entertainment is to show some of the different types of musical activity carried on by the children. There will be interpretative work, chorus singing, a harmonica band, and rhythm orchestra. Parents and friends of the children are cordially invited to attend. _ o T. N. P.

V. • n m m •• •• •• gt; •• • HI i l" FROSH P M HELD MEETING ATE MOVED A N D U S A B I L I T I E S OF D E i M i A t E DISCUSSED .Heigh, ho, everybody; heigh, ho! The top of the mornin' an' all that sort of jolly rot, don'cha know! Boys and girls, I'm feelin' fit as a fiddle this mornin'! It all goes to prove that love is a wonderful thing—even if there is no good in men. FUTURISTIC TREND WDLL BE IN EVIDENCE AS STUDENTS GATHER AT CLEVER DANCE. DEL SMITH CHAIRMAN What would college be if there werer rib boys who could play banjos? One of my happiest college memories will be of sitting around a room; parked on a pillow, with the air so full of smoke that it could be sent home parcel post, and some body playing a banjo and the rest of us harmonizing. The capacity for good fellowship which is engendered by such sessions in rooms on the third floor back, is one of the things which lasts long after the knowledge of the glory which once was Greece has faded into the dim recesses of an unused memory. College is a happy period of life, if one will make it so. I'd rather be able to be happy than to have a long face and understand three consecutive words of eight syllables each. So I'll probably never amount to anything, but who cares? Is that dragon showing any signs of becoming deceased, Ing? Last week I gave the Mens Club special investigating committee a lot of questions to answer. I wonder what it did with them. If the committee is still engaged in its investigations of the nefarious or laudible (take your choice) administration of the $2 quarterly health fee, it might also be referred to the last copy of the governor's budget, which, under the detail of Normal school expenditures, shows the president's estimate of receipts from this' fund, and the requests made to the stale for health department funds and for what purposes. This may shed a bit of authentic light on the question which, may it ever be remembered, was raised for a point of information only. Let me suggest thai a copy of the report of the committee be given upon completion to The Viking for publication. Despite the rapidity with which the discussion concerning it became extinct, it is not a dead issue yet. CENSORED. If this colyum ever had a, policy, one plank in the platform would be that no poetry was to be printed, but if I write it (I mean the poetry), why of course that a girl in a different— er, ah, fur coat. Also, to win the support of the Women's Christian Temperance (why don't they call it Abstinence) Union, a temperance lecture would go good here. This shows the baleful effects of one glass of beer. (Sorry to steal your thunder, Mr. Greaves) Unlimited pleasure is promised for all the freshmen and the sophomore boys who come to the Freshman Futuristic Frolic at 8:30 tomorrow night in the big gymnasium. Color Emphasized For the special benefit of the sophomore girls and as the "next best thing" for those who are unable to attend the party, the committee has arranged for trie darice music of Kibble's Viking Pirate orchestra to go on the air over Bellingham KVOS from 10 to 11 p. m. Del Smith reports that all the plans have materialized as expected and that the frosh party will be everything it has been "cracked up" to be in the publicity it has already been given. ^ Color has been blended in the most ultra-modern manner in the decorations as planned and designed by Edith Jenkins. There will be literally miles of serpentine to get tangled up in, and soft colored lights will be focused on the wall and ceiling decorations. Punch and all colored cookies will be served for refreshments. All students must have tickets to attend the dance. These will be on sale on the main landing during the noon hour today. All who have not paid their dues must do so before getting a ticket. Everyone is urged to wear and display as much color in their clothes as they can. Informal clothes are in order and fancy colored sweaters and dresses are what the committee approves. Even loud neckties are not taboo. The futuristic posters that have been on display in the main hall this week were designed and drawn by Wynn Haws. The Board of Control held its weekly meetifig Tuesday at 11 o'clock instead of Monday during the noon period. The Boiird, discussed trie sending of a delegate to the Pacific Northwestern Student Conference, to be held November 28 and 29 at Reed College hi Portland. It was decided to refer the matter to the student body. By a vote of the Boardj the regular weekly Monday meeting was changed to Tuesday at 4 o'clock. Mary McDonald was chosen chairman or a committee to plan the quarterly Board party. —' •—'—o—'——— Three Local Library Staff Members Are At Reniort Meeting Dream Train Starts WDLSON, GEORGE, AND DOTY GO TO DISTRICT GATHERING MISS AMY H.

The club met at an informal tea in the Women's League club room. Miss Jones, who is division assistant of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace was here in the interest of the International Mind Alcoves, which have been estab lished by the Endowment in the public library of this city. The Carnegie Endowment have equipped one hundred and fifty-six libraries in cities and towns in the United States with these International Mind Alcoves. Their purpose is to aid readers in gaining a wider knowledge of the peoples of the world and to "stimulate an international mind". The books placed in these alcoves are chosen from the most recent publications . that bear upon art, customs, the culture and the government of foreign nations and peoples. Miss Jones is also executive secretary of the international Relations clubs. At present she is particularly interested in establishing International Relation clubs in col leges and universities throughout the United States. The purpose of these clubs is to unite thestudents of the world in "closer understanding arid friendship.

Th^y; were greatly impressed with her^aifc;^;^^^ Miss Mable Zoe Wilson, Miss Lillian George and Miss Beatrice Doty are attending the meeting of the Northwestern District Library Association, held at Renton, Washington, today. . The certification of the school librarians, teachers taking care of school libraries, and the county library law'will;-be discussed at this meeting. Four Districts in Association The state of Washington is divided into four districts, Northwest, Northeast, Southwest, and Southeast, Bellingham is located in the Northwest district, which also includes the following counties: King, Kitsap, San Juan, Skagit, Snohomish, and Whatcom. Each district has a special library association, composed of librarians who give their time to the study of school and public libraries. County Library Law Miss Wilson States: "If the county library law goes into effect it will be most beneficial to teachers. At present there are no centralized book resources in the state and teachers run into many difficulties in obtaining books for their schools. "There is not one student in the Bellingham Normal school that will not be confronted with the library problem during the first week spent at school. "There are many things focusing right now, through this association, in order to insure work facilities for future teachers." Committee to Report During the past year, a committee was appointed to make a survey of the library situations over the state. This committee is to give its report at the meeting today and Miss Wilson says: "The re suits of this investigation may be very illuminating.!' They will be printed in next week's issue of The Viking. -o—' • . Second of Concerts To Be Given Monday (Editorial) - Nearly three weeks ago from gathering mists emerged a dreami train that had a tendency to travel despite the ties, rails, wheels, and engine that were cast from weak PROBABILITY metal. The track started from The Northwest Viking office arid continued as far as the eye could ascertain in the direction of the Normal of tomorrow. There was a dinky engine, an empty fuel car, a freight car, and two day coaches. One of these criaches held the vision of a blue and white clad 35 piece Normal pep band; the other was empty. The editor jumped into the day coach, arid amid his lonely surroundings proceeded to type eut an article calling for a band, and when he had finished he had the fuel that barely started the train for soriie way off destination. The whole trend of thought was to gradually build up a student band, under the guidance of the music departriierit arid school officials. This editorial appeared in the October 31 issue. The train was just coming to a halt when Harold B. Srnith, of the music department arid leader of the Bellingham Little Symphony, hopped aboard, donned an engineer's outfit, arid brought the train up to the first station to wait for passengers. Last year considerable interest was manifested in a pep band that was initiated by students and carried through entirely by them. There was a noted co-operation, individual dependability, and a desire to serve the school with the best Peppers obtainable under the handicapped circumstances, that afforded material for the present band hopes. There are a number of facts to be found out before the plan can (Continued on Page. Two) FISHER WILL ARRIVE DURING THANKSGIVING •, President-C.H.. Fisher, who has been absent from school for several weeks, will be horrie Thanksgiving Day, according to word received by Miss Roseanria McQuesten, his secretary. President Fisher will spend this week-end at Washington, D. C, where he will attend the Child Health Conference at the White House. This meeting was called by President Herbert Hoover, who appointed a committee to investigate the problems of child health. ---------- Northwest Viking - 1930 November 14 - Page 2 ---------- ;;fP^S||i2 vfe'i ifePiS!

It is hoped that some plan ;can be devised to collect the necessary instruments that will be lacking to start with. There may be some who are interested that will purchase instruments, while far fetched hopes list the possibility of a certain amount owned by the school. However,, when it comes to the problem of financing, regardless of the purchasing of instruments, the band may strike an insurmountable obstacle. ' Paul J. Lusterman, faculty teacher of band music, is being figured in as an.aide to Smith. There is some question, though, as to how this will fit into the faculty requirements and work. Mr. Smith stated this week: "I hope that some means will be devised to find out if there is enough interest concerned to put the proposition to President Fisher when he returns. I will give all the help I can, and am hoping that an organization can be started this winter quarter." It is planned to start the band now and gradually build it up, within a few years, to being the pride of Normal school activities. There is one point with the band, that being that the three year requirements will give the instructor time to train the inexperienced. . In all probability a class credit will be given, and the practices will be held during a regular required period. It is up to the students to turn the PROBABLE into the REAL. It is being fostered by The Viking and Smith, solely because it is a worthy item that will ultimately be necessary when the school has reached the peak of its endeavors to make this one of the leading educational institutions of the country. This is one of the most constructive measures that have been put before the students in some time. It is for their benefit, as well as their posterity. It is something for them to work out and call their own, yet they will receive strong support from the necessary faculty if they show the proper attitude and spirit. The whole issue now depends on its start from the students. If nothing is done immediately, the whole dream train will be taken off the run and the tracks torn up without further publicity. NO BRIBES . Once again the Sophomore class at the University of Washington lias started a contest to determine the man with the championship beard. In fact, there will be several champs, as there are various divisions within the race for the different beards raised. The contest will last a month and will end November 25.' On the final day the contestants will line up before a committee of co-eds who will pick the winners. This will be one contest where pergonal favoritism won't affect the judges' decisions, as it is a known fact that the pretty co-eds will be unable to recognize the relief map that lies beneath the bearded forests. And, what's more, we assure any girls dancing with the men competing that tweezers are the best remedy. Exactly at 6:55:10 o'clock the receiver was taken; from the hoo^ on the telephone in the offices of The Northwest Viking office Monday evening, and the new night service was inaugurated. Heretofore The Viking room has not been plugged into any of the four trunk lines used after five in the evening. After several attempts to have these connections made, a. lineman arrived on the scene Monday morning and the work was soon completed on the most used night phone in the main building. The crowds milled about the press rooms on the second floor, inside of which were the paper officials. Eddie Serwalt placed the first call at exactly 6:55 and ten seconds later he was talking to Kate Cerrocki The Viking co-ed. chosen to be on the other end of the dedication. The sound was picked tip by'a "mike" and relayed to the crowds outside. The conversation, which was started from The Viking office", was Carried on as follows: "Hello, can you hear me?" "Yes, quite plain." . • __ "Well, I can hear you, too." "The Viking is certainly to be complimented on its new service, and the workmen should be commended for their great accomplishment in making this achievement possible." "Goodbye." "Goodbye." Student Conference At Portland College It has not as yet been decided whether or not our school will send a delegation to the Students' International Conference at Reed's College, Portland. Quentin Quick, student body president, stated that the question would probably be decided in today's assembly. If a delegation is sent, it will be chosen 'either by a^ faculty committee or by the International Relations Club. Probably two students will make up the delegation. Miss Amy Hemingway Jones, who was a guest of the International Relations Club on Monday after noon, is to be one of the speakers at the conference. The purpose of the conference is to increase interest in the study of international questions. Problems arising out of conditions in the countries in the Pacific area will especially interest the conference. Last Tuesday in assembly we; /Were celebrating P^eafe. We looked expectantly toward The day when wa^rs will cease,rf Then we swallowed up "The Cop- -:, ,perhead" Like a flock of hungry geese. The Dean pro tern enjoined us to Intelligent consideration. She hinted that we held the key To international salvation; That we must think and not emote, And advocated toleration. Our Normal audience, we're told, • I s t quite sophisticated. Our minds. have made us hooey-proof, Our feelings armor-plated. We are the upper five per cent, We are the EDUCATED. There rose before this great array Of gems, of mental rubies, An actor skilled in swaying crowds With wild dramatic hooeys; We acted like the foremost row At ten-cent, Western movies. I grieve to see the students as They fall before the glamour Of some appeal emotional; I hate to see them clamor For stuff which won't provoke a thought, And gooey "mellerdrammer^" The Training School assembly was Also on Tuesday's bills. They gave a war-prevention skit Which hadn't any frills. ' The kids got food for thought, but we. Got nationalistic thrills. Oh, why do we, the 'fore ordained, The Mental Aristocracy, The Intellectual Uppercrust, Of this here now Democracy, y Embrace with such moronic zest This super-sold hypocrisy. This spirit is the same one which Has kept the trenches f ulL It makes it simple thus to keep Their eyes beneath the wool. Oh, heaven help us with our schools In hands so gullible. Such actions you might well expect From brainless, dumb carousers; But watch our A and B—I. Q.'s, Be they in skirts or trousers, They'll sway like aspen trees before These skillful "rabble-rousers." I sigh to see such genius gripped By patriotic thermo-tension. "In education lies our hope," But- this is my sincere contention That such reactions look .to me Decidedly like Peace-Prevention. U.OFW. SPONSORS The~ University of Washington is sponsoring an essay contest in order to arouse widespread interest in Simon Bolivar, the great South American statesman and patriot. It is believed that more should be known about this great liberator of half a continent. On rfecember 17, 'the hundredth anniversary of the death of Simon Bolivar will be commemorated. ••'.;. s'rHO'iq.^ The subject of the'essay must have some bearing l%ijpn the life, character, or achievements of Simon Bolivar as statesman, soldier, orator, and patriot, or the significance of his many activities ih: the history of the New World. ' 'Vl : -All essays submitted mustvbe typewritten and in/the hands of the committee b y December 1. The papersvmay either be written in Spanish or English. The length of the essay should be from 2000 to 2500 words. All Normal students are eligible to the contest. Medals and other prizes have been solieited from various Spanish- American governments and historical societies. • The Spanish essays will be read by three distinguished Spanish- Americans; those in English will be judged by committees of instructors of history and, languages. .• gt; LIBRARY RECREATION Two bookcases in the library have been set aside in the general reading room, near the door, for recreational reading. This is a new policy and will be permanent from now on. Miss Mable Zoe Wilson wishes the students to watch these bookcases and notify the reference librarian of any books they would like to read. These books are placed here for recreational reading only, because the librarian considers'^ that "All work and no play" is a bad policy. . 0" "••'•'• -'.- IOC WHY NOT DANCE AFTER THE SHOW? ATTHE Mt.

A win would mean a triple tie for the Normal championship. wsragimm We should be proud of the show-ihg our team made a week ago in the Tacoma stadium, when they tied the College of Puget Sound 0-0. Most of the so-called football critics from the base of Sehome predicted a 20-0 score, but they figured without reckoning with the new fight the boys seem to have acquired lately. G. P. S. was beaten by the university team 60-0. That makes us only sixty points lower than Jimmie Phelan's first Washington team. Now, wasn't that a startling con elusion? BY VIKING SQUAD OPPONENTS A R E SURPRISED BY NORMALITE STRENGTH.^ LINE HOLDS WELL After the game Saturday, football will be put on the shelf in this school for another season, and a lot of boys will have to think up another excuse for not getting their lessons. Oh, well, basket ball is right in the wind now, but, after all, is there any sport as grand as dear old football? - I wonder if Dutch Wilder will be back for his eighth year of student coaching next year? The first cut in basket ball left only seventeen men out of the thirty- eight that answered the first call. Sam, is still looking for material though, and invites every man in school to take a try at it. Looking over the list that survived the cut, I saw names of high school stars and a few veterans from last year's squad. The men now out and the football men that will turn out next week are having friendly quarrels concerning "How the strong football men will strengthen up the squad." Well, we shall see. "Every man in school on some team of basket ball," is the motto adopted by gt;\~ the Athletic Council, and an intramural schedule is to be drawn up to find the champions of the school. Several teams have already shown their intention of joining the league. Among them are teams from the Kitchen Krew, Men's Club, Thespians', Vanadis Bragi, Alley Cats; Co-ops, Philos, and several of the boys' halls. That is a good start, but more are wanted. If you are not on one, organize one yourself and let Carver know about it, and he will tell you when you can use. the gym' to practice. Isn't that— a swell black eye Bill Thompson is sporting—a. beaner of a shoe brush on Les Vdris' Up—too bad that Fairhaven lost the Armistice game --too bad that they are still hollering about the right of the score-too bad that so many of the Normal students lost money on the game— terrible that the editor of this column, can't find news enough to fill the line. Lastf ^Saturday a fighting Blue and -White team tied the powerful C/P. S. gridders 0-0. It was a hard fought game with the Vikings given no chance with the big Red and White team. The Vikings, however, gave C. P. S. the scare of the season. The game started with the locals kicking off. Shelton made a beautiful kick deep into the opponents' territory. Baker, star Sound fullback, received the ball back of his own goal and was just nicely under way when Moultray, a Blue and White tackle, nailed him, putting the ball on Tacoma's ten yard line. Weicking, College quarter, confident his team could advance, called three plays before he kicked. The Vikings were playing hard football from the opening gun. On the fourth down they kicked to Brinkman, Vik ing safety, who received the ball on the 40 yard line, returning it to the 30. Then the first Viking invasion got under way. Pldwers and Iverson crashed over tackle for several gains, advancing the bail to the 10 yard line. Here the Red and White de fense stiffened and they fought bravely and stopped a Normal score by inches. The ball then changed hands. C. P. S. kicked out of danger, but Brinkman couldn't handle the punt, which was finally grounded on the Normal's 30 yard line. The Blue and White again started f or. a touchdown, but without success. The first quarter ended with the ball in the Red and White team's territory, where it had been most of the time. The second quarter was characterized by a brilliant Puget Sound offensive and stubborn Viking de fense. The Normal forward wall, with its back to the goal, fought like mad and succeeded in holding for three downs, putting the ball a few inches from a touchdown. The C. P. S. quarter called his powerful fullback, Baker, to drive over the locals^ line. He was stopped in mid-air by the stubborn Viking line and C. P. S. failed to score. Normal kicked out of danger and the rest of the first half was a see-saw affair. The second half started with the Vikings receiving. Early in this period the Normal again threatened to score, only to have its hopes shattered by the stubborn defense of their opponents. At the beginning of the fourth quarter both teams began to open up. C. P. S. sent a barrage of passes into the Viking defense. Two ten yard passes were completed before Hopkins, Normal center, intercepted one to stop the rally; The Normal's last drive promptly started, with Iverson, Flowers and Wilder advancing the ball to the seven yard line.

With the addition of the best players that it could muster, the women's team was considerably stronger in this game. Coaches Dixon and Carboneau used up all reserves in an attempt to stem the tide of Blue and White that swept down the field for goals. But, with Flo Goodman, Bernice Gnagey, and Sig-red Wiberg in the forward line, the boys were powerless to aid in any way. 0 MILLER APPOINTED Ralph Miller, class of '30, has received a teaching position in the upper grades of an Aberdeen school. 0 INTRAMURAL SOON -Sam; Carver Snhouriced today that basketball between different clubs and organizations would :begin soon.

Interesting :^.sV 'VOICES GROUPED FOR EFFECTS First Ghoa- Organized in 1931 Gaining in Popularity Is The College Verse Speaking choir from the San Jose Teachers .college will appear before an assembly Monday, Nov. 27, at 11 =00 »• m- The verse speaking choir is a development of a rather recent movement toward training young people in the enjoyment and skillful use of the spoken voice as an -organ of self-expression. The voices, low, medium, and high in pitch are suitably grouped and in the rendering of apiece of literature they play in and out with each other or "fall into a choral harmony much as in the rendering of music. The importance of pitch, cadence, enunciation and rhythm are all deftly calculated in producing effects achieved by the choir. Other methods used to heighten effects are gestures and lighting effects. v First Group Organized .;. This choir under the direction of Elizabeth M. Jenks, is the first group of its kind to be organized in the West. The group first started making, public appearances in 1931, and has been steadily gaining popularity. •'•••; The verse speaking choir is now offered as a regular course in the Speech department of the San Jose Teachers college. It is organized like a glee club so that students may begin.in a junior chorus and if then-work is outstanding, they may work into the senior choir.

Activities began Friday evening at 7 o'clock when Bill Allan led an all-school serpentine from Edens hall down through Holly street and back to/jthe new athletic field for the big bonfire celebration. The day's pro- , gram ended with an evening Rec hour. At noon Saturday a luncheon was held in the Edens hall dining room, which was pronounced a decided success under the direction of Chairman Tim Lowe! V ^ Next was the main feature of of Contribution Red Cross Campaign Will Conducted Separately This Year . Be Because the Red Cross is having its own campaign for funds this year, separate from the Community Fund, Mrs. • Gragg and Dr. Bond have been appointed by President Fisher to take charge of the faculty contributions for that organization. The Red Cross is following its national policy by withdrawing from the community chest movements and conducting a campaign of its own. In.this campaign anyone is invited to contribute. The minimum contribution for a membership in the organization is $1. The Red Cross completed in the past year the greatest relief task in its fifty-two years of existence. Supplied with government cotton and wheat, it distributed 10,500,000 barT rels of flour to nearly 6,000,000 families, and 104,000,000 .garments; to more than 5,000,000. families.

Moffatt Speaks On Club History At AlkisiahMeet Alkisiah Club Was Organized ' First Tear that the Normal Opened the (Continued on Page Four) "The History of the Alkisiah club", was the topic of a talk given by Miss Moffatt at the last meeting of the Alkisiah club. The Alkisiah club was first organized under the name of the Al-cott society, in 1898, the same year that the Normal school was opened. The club was a part of the regular school work, its aims being; practice in public speaking, current events and service. Miss Ida Agnes Baker was the sponsor and critic. The name of, the society was changed to the present name of Alkisiah, taken from the Indian words, Alki, meaning near, and Siah, meaning far. Together this word means, the reaching of objectives in the near future. The literary interests seemed to broaden with the new name, and the club studied, debate, authors, the short story, plays and artists. The club^erected the bird bath beside Edens hall. Some of the other activities they participated:in were: the sale of seals at Christmas and the laying of a corner stone.. They also brought a picture exhibit of original painting of Washington artists to the school on two different years.

You have your chance. Listen! The Bellingham Theatre Guild is presenting for four days beginning next Tuesday the 27th, Sam Jan-ney's mystery thriller "The Black Flamingo," a story that takes place one night in a wayside tavern around the year 1798. Besides being outstanding, it boasts several of Normal's past actors and actresses. Eilene Morrison who plays Laura Cram in the school's first quarter production, "Holiday" portrays the part of the loud mouthed wife of the inkeeper. Other persons who have at one time gone to Normal, appearing in the production are: Quentin Rochefort, the priest; John James, De Lussac; and Mary Ruth Bailey, Diane. Reservation should be made as soon as possible at Stark Piano Co., as the tickets are going fast. The admission is forty cents. Social Science Club Sets Meeting Date Due to the fact that the Social Science club meeting dates of second and fourth Mondays of every month conflicted with the Alkisiah club dates, the meetings will be held the second and fourth Tuesdays of every month. At the meeting held Monday night, November 20, in the Edens hall club room, Frank Brown reported that a Social Science club party was planned for some time shortly following Thanksgiving with a dinner, dancing, and card playing as the entertainment features. Ralph Hofman was the speaker scheduled for the meeting, but as he was called for play practice his talk on the Jewish question was postponed till. the next meeting. • '•.- ':o—•• — '. • Bureau Announces ions Secured Miss Elizabeth Hopper of the Appointment bureau has received word of the appointment of fifteen more students who have completed their teaching course here.

Roosevelt in his address to the third annual Women's Conference of Current Problems, at its meeting in New York City on October 13; One was to the effect that despite present adverse conditions too many teachers are being "turned out" each year. The other, "The quality of our teaching in almost every state can be definitely and distinctly raised," is a direct challenge to the institutions of education. When questioned as to her viewpoints on this situation, which the President has brought before us, Miss Mary E. Rich, director of the training school, broadly granted the President's estimates to be justifiable, but took exception to his further remark, "Over-production of teachers is just as much an economic waste as building steel rail plants far beyond the ability of railroads to use steel rails." This, she considered a rather far-fetched comparison. It is the theory of Miss Rich that more preparation for teaching would take care of this condition, with greater benefit to both teacher and pupil. ---------- Northwest Viking - 1933 November 24 - Page 2 ---------- wMmicnm^ e I^rthwest Vikirig ESTABLISHED 1899 Published every Friday except during the month of September by the Associated Students, Washington State Normal School, Bellingham.

Grads, students, and faculty members alike thoroughly enjoyed every minute of your program. Donna Aisted, Tim Lowe, Bill Allan, Sammie Carver, Dr. E. A. Bond, and Mr. L. A. Kibbe deserve a great deal of praise for their work as committee chairmen. ^ The team put on a real game which was worth everything it cost, figuring on the basis of three home games for over two dollars. Members of the Lynden high school band played up the fracas with their lively tunes and drill formations. Ralph Shenenberger and Bob Lindsley gave us a football booklet which is more than,a booklet; it is a real souvenir. To the many others who did their bit we say 'thank, you.* Another REAL Problem Realizing the tremendous importance of the coming abolishment of practically all restraint on the manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages, Governor Clarence D. Martin appointed an advisory liquor control commission. This commission submitted its report two weeks ago and on the whole provides for an ideal plan to cope with the drink problem. In its major aspects the proposed set-up is similar to the plans used in the Canadian provinces. We realize liquor is a problem even in Canada, but until someone comes forth with a more workable solution we must be content to follow those countries who have had the most success in handling the question. Simplification Suggested John Christy, student body president, believes it would be a wise plan to provide a separate fund such as the library and health fees for lectures and entertainments. If this plan were adopted the responsibility for the success of these undertakings would rest entirely with the administration. Under this new plan students who formerly took a six-hour load will have to bear their share of the cost. Formerly these students were able to enjoy programs paid for by others by not being required to pay a student's association fee. . We believe this proposal to be a step in the right direction. After all, why should the Board of Control be responsible for programs if they have no hand in the selection of the speakers and artists? If this plan goes into effect during the winter quarter the student activities card will cost $5.50 instead of $7. The board will still look after athletics, social life and publications.

W. C. Eells, professor of education, Stanford university, in "Salaries and the Cost of Living", Washington Education Journal for November, 1933, shows why the educators of this country are protesting the tremendous lowering of wages. Salaries Discussed The popular argument today is that taxes are too high and that teacher's salaries which come from taxation should be reduced to meet the reduction in the cost of living which has come about in the last three or four years. The basis of comparison used is the Bureau of Labor statistics which are compiled yearly from the budgets of more than ten thousand families of work-ingmen. Prof. Eells points out that this is hardly fair however, since the division of expenses in the working-man's budget is entirely different from that of the professional classes. Thirty-eight per cent of the work-ingman's budget goes for food, 17 per cent for clothes, and 19 per cent for shelter. Hence only one-fourth or less of his total income goes for health, recreation, improvement, and other miscellaneous expenses. Miscellaneous' Costs High Carefully gathered statistics on the cost of instructor's living expenses show that food which has taken the big drop in cost, is only 20 per cent of the teacher's total expense while miscellaneous costs, which have not gone down at all, compose over 50 per cent of the educator's budget. Moreover, while teachers' salaries have been cut, the demands upon them have become heavier until in comparison with 1929-1930, 1932-1933 shows that individuals wholly or chiefly dependent upon teachers, for support had increased 59 per cent; the number of partial dependents had increased 200 per cent. This is the artists' conception of Al Charlesworth's conception of the backstage region, on the Great Night of production.

First Game Of Class B Is Walkover Y.M.C.A. Triangle Team Takes Easy Win From Junior Varsity in Thriller TEAM MAKES BAD SHOWING Starlund, Miles, Are Outstanding on Junior Varsity Normal's Junior Varsity team met ignominious defeat at the hands of the Y. M. C. A.'s Triangle team at the Y. M. C. A. last Tuesday night when the Y. M. O. A. team broke up the Junior Varsity defense to win, 34-17. At the very beginning of the game the Triangle team showed their offensive strength and made several points before the Normal team got started and after the first few minutes of play the Triangle team led by almost two to one. Singer Stars for «Y" Singer, "Y" forward, along with Reckhus, played an outstanding game which the Normal boys had plenty of difficulty in checking. Singer would constantly get the ball away on the defensive and make points completely unaided, while Reckhus aided with his accurate passing on the set-ups. An especially large number of fouls were called as both teams were accustomed to playing on larger floors. In the second half Normal showed strength for a while, at one time the score being 25-13. Hager did a good part of the offensive work. The lineup follows: Normal Y.M.C.A. Miles F. McAllison Nielson F. Singer Nielson C Reckhus Albee G..

This, in Mr. Bever's estimation, will solve the problem of whether these young people will be educated in the schools or in the streets. Intramural Row Getting Tight N. W. Vikings and Daniel Hall Are Leading League The 1933 Intramural basketball race is getting tighter and tighter as the days pass. At the present time there is only one undefeated team and that is Daniels hall. Last evening they met and defeated the N. W. Viking squad who are now holding down second place. The reporters have lost only one game. Following closely on the heels of the leaders are the Frosh and the Co-op quintets. Each of these teams have been defeated but once and are still very much in the running. The Co-op five was defeated by the Newspaper men in a close game while the Frosh team lost to the Daniel hall boys. o— Season's Highlights Your writer has tried to pick out the important events of the football season that has just ended. Of all the things that happened the following events probably stand out the most—The Vikings winning their first game in two years when they defeated the Pacific Lutheran college— Sinko's 70-yard run that ended on the 2-yard line in the C. P. S. game—Davidson plunging through the P. L. C. line for the first score of the year—Williams breaking away for 50 yards and the second score in that same game—Little Willie Toby's catch of that pass against Ellensburg when he was knocked cold (in other words, out)—Sulkosky putting the old pep and fire in the line and telling them where the next play was coming (if he said it was coming around right end they all watched the right side of the line) —Big Bill Frender blocking that P. L. C. punt and putting the ball in position for the first score of the season—The few spots of really brilliant playing of the Vikings, such as in that C. P. S. game—The defensive work of Bagley and Finley throughout the season. o FOG Fog is a drifting end Of the cool while veil Of the moon.

A week of more than usual interest and activity has just ended for the volleyball turnouts. Now that the smoke of intramurals has cleared away the inter-class teams have been formed. These teams will hereafter be referred to as the freshman team and junior team. Owing to a small number of turnouts from the sophomore class, no sophomore team was organized, the three aspirants from that class to be held for substitute play. We wonder will it be possible to keep Johnny Bromley on the side lines,, after having witnessed the pep and enthusiasm she displayed in the intramurals. * * * * * Last week's final game of the intramural season brought victory to the Blues over the Whites by a game score of 2-0 and point scores of 21-8 and 21-12.

EehicatedToe Of Dinslow Wonderful Exhibition of Punting By Ellensburg Right End Feature of Game gt; VIKINGS MAKE DESPERATE TRY Game Fought on Even Terms Throughout Entire Period Long spiraling punts of the sturdy right foot of Dinslow, Ellensburg right end, spelled defeat for the Vikings last Saturday in their annual Homecoming game. The Wildcats came out on the long end of a 6-to-0 score and thus took the tri- Normal championship home with them" for the fourth consecutive time. In every department of the game except kicking the Vikings played on even terms with the boys from over the mountains. Every exchange of punts lost the Normal team from ten to twenty yards. Vikings Threaten The Vikings made only one dangerous bid for a score and that came in the first quarter. A varied attack consisting of passes from Williams to Miller and several end-around plays with Odell and Toby carrying the ball, put the pigskin inside the Wildcats' 10-yard line. Here, however, the Ellensburg defense stiffened and the Vikings finally lost the ball on downs when they passed over the goal line. The Wildcats' score came with about five minutes left to play in the second quarter, when McMinds, fullback, plunged over from the 6- inch line. The ball was put in scoring position by two runs by Sanders, elusive halfback, that were good for 26 yards, and by an off-side penalty against the Vikings. This gave the Wildcats a first in ten on the Normal's 5-yard line, from where line plunges by Sanders and McMinds put the ball across. The attempted try-f or -point was off too far to one side. Sanders Stands Out Sanders, Ellensburg half, was the best ground gainer on the field on either team, with Williams, Viking back, coming a close second. Toby also made several substantial gains when he packed the ball on an end-around play that worked fairly well. On defense, Captain Otto Finley, Sulkosky and Odell stood out.

Thirty or more people will ramble out the highway in a big bus or two—that is, all who can find riding room among the bedding and grub. Food Filling Nancy Jane Smith, general chairman, gives oath (on the Viking office dictionary) that they will have the best time had in the fall quarter. "Plenty of food—and a grand lack of precious sleep," says Nancy. Six grand meals have been planned by the food committee, composed of Beth Hankins, chairman, Bob Linds-ley, June Larson and Margaret Bradley. They are to eat everything from caviar to chile con carne. All members of the party are expected to take turns playing chef or dishwasher. Program Pleasurable Mary Fisher, in charge of the program, has arranged full days and evenings of pleasure for the staff members and their guests. Saturday the gang will hike up Table mountain, taking lunches with them, and returning at dinner time. There will be skiing at Heather Meadows and a portable phonograph will add to the hilarity at the cabin. A last word of, warning is issued to the modern misses of 1933—wear your grandfather's red flannels or you freeze. Each person is asked to bring his own blankets—and plenty of them, "for it's cold on that thar mount'in."

FORD SUBMITS REPORT At the regular Board of Control meeting held Tuesday, January 19, President Fisher presented the budget^ for next quarter. The following activities were mentioned: Northwest Viking, 60 cents; social life, 80 cents; athletics, $1.60; assemblies and lectures, $3. A committee was appointed by President Colin Campbell to continue the investigation of raising the qualifications for holding office as a member of the Board of Control. It was suggested that as the Normal school has been changed to a three-year graduation basis the requirements should be raised. The committee in charge of this investigation is: Elsie O'Donnell, chairman, Miss Nora Cummins, Mr. Ruckmick, Charles Dowel, Hollis J. Stoddard and Sivert Skotheim. A committee was appointed to investigate the Inter-Club Council and help with its reorganization. This committee is headed by Sivert Skotheim. The Co-Op Book Store report as presented by Manager Sam Ford was accepted by the board. ' Normalite •• ii " m •• II| i • • • Chile and the Powers The Raising of an Army Are They Savages? Ye Diary By Virginia Carver Another week—another test! If the blamed things persist at this early stage in the situation some members of the Normal faculty are going to be seriously involved in the very center of a mob scene! W.S.N.S. Headline in a local paper—United States and England favored by Chile. We know just how they feel —but since the depression, nobody even favors us with a glass of water and a tooth pick, let alone chile. -W.S.N.S.- According to a local daily paper, A certain educationalist stated lately that this state's educational machine cost entirely-too much. His idea is that two schools of higher education are a sufficiency where five are being upheld. Which means —the fellow who wouldn't have enough money to go away to a big college should simply be satisfied to stay at home and dig ditches and get married and either pinch pennies all his life or have fun and starve to death! . It may be so—but just the same, we'll wager . that tliey'd just as soon walk on dirt roads for a couple of years more and pay their taxes to keep up the other three schools. We read somewhere just lately that Caruso's mother had twenty-one children. She really should nave produced , something worth irthile don't you t irik? For wneri you raise an army, you're naturally entitled to at least one general. Statistics •how that dwelling withm art arei •* 4W miles of Washington, D.

She finds that this course has opened a new channel of creative interest. It is the desire of the art department that all students will become aware of the beauty that surrounds them each day of their lives. Art not only should be used as creative work, but should be considered part of our lives. In fact, gt;art should be given just as much emphasis as reading, mathematics or the spoken word, for without appreciation of art we cannot see the great beauty that is within reach of us every day. Chinese Art Studied In the introductory art class the students have been collecting old Chinese paintings, Chinese pottery and Chinese textiles. These are on display now in the art department: -o— WESLEY F. RENNIE SPEAKS ON EUROPE Problems Confronting Countries Are Mainly Economic. "Impressions of Europe" was the topic on which Mr. Wesley F. Ren-nie spoke in Tuesday's assembly. Mr. Rennie is citywide boys' secretary of Seattle. Y. M. C. A. workers. Last year he was appointed for work on international boys' relations at Geneva and while there attended the disarmament conference of the League of Nations. "I have gained a perspective of the past, insight of the present, and a view of the future, and out of the past the present should learn," said Mr. Rennie. He also explained the world today as being in the state of revolutionary upheaval and movement. It was indicated that the treaty of Versailles is one of the paramount needs of the day. England Troubled In describing Great Britain Mr. Rennie spoke of it as a green and pleasant isle. Their greatest trouble is the financial problem. Unemployment in Great Britain was said to be not new. "I myself think MacDonald is truly a great man because he rises above conditions to do what he thinks is good for Great Britain," said Mr. Rennie. Germany Discouraged In speaking of Germany it is held that Germany has more than paid for reconstruction made necessary by the damages it committed in the World war. Under the present conditions it Would be impossible to have permanent peace, spoke Mr. Rennie. Editor of Viking to Attend Conference TOTAL ENROLLMENT FIGURES SHOW 797 ATTEND NORMAL Number of Students Is Largest Since Winter of 1929, When 800 Here. MEN GROW IN NUMBERS Official registration figures for this school disclose a total enrollment of 797 students in attendance here this quarter. Of this number 284 are men and 513 are women. This figure Is the largest since the winter of 1929. These comparisons apply only to the regular school year and do not include the summer registrations in which the enrollments have exceeded 1,000. The number of men in attendance exceeds that of any previous regular enrollment. College Graduates Here There are 105 upper division students— juniors and seniors, 336 sophomores and 346 freshmne. There are five college graduates in attendance and five students taking special courses. Several changes in sophomore classes have been made as a result of the revision in, curriculum this quarter to meet with the requirements of a four-year school. These changes include dropping one class each in the courses of psychology, hygiene and industrial arts. Students Favor Electives It is found that students are taking more electives and postponing the required courses. This procedure is said by Miss Nora B. Cummins, registrar, to be desirable, however, as the situation will right itself eventually as a result of the three-year course. r_o Drama Club May Go to Vancouver For Abbey Plays R^er Chapman, editor of the Northwest Viking, left Thursday for Seattle to attend; the twentieth annual Washington Newspaper Institute. „'• .

The Institute which is sponsored by the school of Journalism of the University of Washington is making its" headquarters at the new Ed-mond Meany hotel with; meetings scheduled for January 21-22-23. New^aper editors from all ovef toe stete e a ^ ^ g^t^^t^r and meet their fellojwi ^ discussions, lectures, banquets, and **lM*]MttM''' The possibility.of the Drama club going to Vancouver in a body to see the Abbey players was one of the questions discussed at a meeting of the club Monday evening. James Butler, president, appointed a committee of A. E. Charles-worth and Eileen Morrison to find out how much seats would cost. They are also to inquire as to the price of a bus to transport the students. Pins Discussed Marshall Bacon gave a report on the point system of earning pins. These are given to students who earn ten points. There are also pins for those members who have not earned the honorary pins. To give the people who are not taking part in the Winter quarter play a chance for experience, one-act plays are going to be produced. A committee-of Preston Wright, Deborah Altose, and Bill Button was appointed to read and select some good one-act plays. Reports Given Reports on three plays were given: William Butties "discussed the play, "The Barrets of Wimpole Street" by. Rudolph Besier. Marshall Bacon reported on the plays; "As HusbandsGo", by Rachael Crothers, and' "Once In ft Lifetime", by Bert Moss arid George Cohan.' •' As thte;v.sfe^t8^V$ft0 was elected last quarter, is not attending school now, Vaughn Howell was elected to fill thfeposition; Special Meeting It was a ^ c ^ ^ ^ h ^ i special meeting in the near future.

Dance Recital Tuesday Returning from a tour of the Orient Miss Ruth Van Valey, talented dancer, will present a dance recital at next Tuesday's assembly. The program will include a number of Miss Van Valey's original Oriental dances inspired by her trip to the Far East.

What students want and appreciate in assembly programs was quite clearly expressed at last Friday's assembly. There was nothing in the conduct of the students that would cause embarrassment to the administration. Mr. Robinson unmistakably had the undivided attention of his audience. In the first place Robinson is a well known figure, and then he was authoritatively introduced in advance publicity as an interesting speaker with an interesting ..subject. Members of the faculty, and student teachers, whose attendance at assemblies is not required, „, weie^present to hear the speaker in a number not equaled when a "songbird' is scheduled to appear. The number of townspeople at entertainments of this caliber is also noticeable. __' Assemblies, of which Lennox Robinson and Lewis Browne are outstanding examples, prove that the stu- •n dent body is not entirely irrational in its usual restlessness and criticism of assembly programs. Programs of this type are generally recognized as both worthwhile and interesting. They have a general interest and also a general cultural value. While the usual musical program may be both interesting and , cultural to a few, the number that can benefit by it are in the decided minority. it would be interesting if a poll could be taken among the student body to determine where the preference would lie in regard to assembly programs. From our unofficial observations we would predict the following conclusions. Students Would appreciate more good speakers and lecturers at the expense of highbrow music. —R. W. C. The U. S. Ambassador at the Court of St. James in London gets a salary of $17,500 a year while his annual expenses amount to approximately $100, 000. Of course those high in government positions must be men of wealth. It staggers us to consider what must be the obligatory expenses of the secretary •f the treasury. Name them: Andy, John D., J. Pierpont, and Henry. Just four that could qualify. Ship Ahoy! feel like, now. (By Debby Altose) That's what the weather makes us It rains and rains—and then it rains some more.

You know—Mr. Bond says bis one wish is to teach Home Economics so he can say he has taught every course in the school. Speaking of courses—I believe the English 2 students are dreaming of Faust. He's a grand old, man—and when I say grand, I mean— Which reminds us of Frankenstein—also Dr. Jeckyll —and da rest of da guys. Then someone said, "They didn't work the galley slaves of old half as hard as they work us poor reporters." And do you know-hard. -they really Work us awfully By the way- Isn't it fun? -what do you thing of the depression? Something new and something different, though it's getting kinda stale already.

Piatt is Feature of Meet by "Greta Garbo and Jack Holt seem to be the favorite movie stars of the Japanese," said Miss Ruth Piatt at the interesting meeting of the Blue Triangle club last Wednesday evening at the Y. W. C. A. There is a tendency in China for the sexes to mingle more freely. In Japan there is a greater formality between sexes. The Japanese are very clannish and they do not believe in intermarriage, while that feeling- is not so dominant in the Chinese. In Japan there is a great nationalistic movement being carried on. Old poems and old literature are being revised. The saddest of ideas of the Japanese is their queer conception of the Occidentals. They get their ideas from the movies and comics. Their favorite comic strip is "Jiggs." Because the Japanese men think that all Occidental women are like "Maggie," they are revolting against the Japanese women taking up* the viewpoints of the American and European women. Miss Piatt said that Honolulu, with .its mixture of races, has less social distinction between races than any other country that she knows of. There, Chinese, Japanese, Negroes, Hawaiians, whites and natives mix without any trouble. Party Tonight Everyone is invited to attend the bridge party given by the Blue Triangle club tonight at the Y. W. C. A. at 7:45 o'clock. The admission is 25 cents. The committees in charge are: Alice-Jean Donaway and Elo-ise Rankin, "program; June Jevning, refreshments, and Donna Aisted and Evelyn Montgomery, publicity. o—: Girls' Qlass Study Club Organization Fashionable Coed rTASMUCH as the winter quarter inf ormals are rolling around with amazing rapidity, a word about evening g o w n s and accessories would be appropriate. « * * * • Gowns rpAFPETAS and satins, ever-pop- *• ular for winter, are again in vogue. A few chiffons are seen. White, pink, and new shades of blue and lightgreen are the outstanding colors of the season. Of course black is always well in evk dence. * * * * Waistlines and backs are down! Waistlines are now about one and one-half inches below the natural waistline and backs are extremely low cut. The silhouette shows that the newest formals are form fitting to the knees, and full, usually flared, to the even hem. heel length. * * * * Shoes and Hose ^UPPERS are either of a match- *~ ing color or of a decided contrast. The type of shoe worn depends upon the wearer's preference. * * * * An often disputed item is the color of hose. Dark hose should never be worn with light colored dresses but only with dark shades. Flesh colored and very sheer hose are worn with pastel tints. Wraps »1«HREE - QUARTER and f u ll " lleannogrt h wraps of chiffon velvet, Proving popular with many women students of the school this quarter is the class in girls' club organization being offered by Miss Weythman. This is an elective course, for which- two hours credit is" given. In this course the girls learn something about the work of the various girls' and boys'.clubs, methods of organization, suggestive activities and program planning. They will also learn several kinds of craft work, and a few meetings will be devoted to camping activities. The first part of the course is being given over to the study Of the characteristics, interests and activities of the average girl from the seventh grade through the high1 school. Later on the local executives from the various organizations, including Campfire Girls, Girl Scouts, Girl Reserves and Pour-H Club will speak to the girls on their particular organization. The students will also probably hear a lecture on Boy Scout work, in order that they may start or sponsor Ja boys' club if the opportunity should arise in their teaching experience. o House Party Planned Viking Manor will entertain with a party next Saturday evening. Entertainment for the evening wlh, be in the form of games and dancing which is being- arranged for by the social committee. The Manor also wishes to announce that the recently remodeled club rooms and lobby on the main floor ar now ready for use by members and their friends. . . o •.

Williams Appointed Fraternity Officer Theateri^ildtPlay J Repeated This Week ;iUjJi Lennox Robmson, director of the Abbey theater in Dublin and recent speaker he^r.iwas. a visitor at the, new Theater Guild rplayhouse last Friday afternoon. Mr. Robinson stated that.-the, Guild stage is the exact, size of that of the Abbey theater and that their modern lighting systems are almost identical. The Abbey theater, however, seats 550 persons because of the * additional space afforded by the balcony, That the Theater Guild of Bel-lingham has very-creditable equipment for so young an organization was Mr. Robinson's opinion after a tour of the building. He was especially interested in the stage set for "A Doll's House", which is also in the repertory of the Irish Players. The cast of, "A Doll's House," Theater Guild production, headed by Mrs. Tim Healy and Mr. Frank Burnet, who is the husband of Mrs. Ruth Burnet, adviser of the Northwest Viking, repeated the play at the Theater Guild playhouse on the evenings of January 20 and 21. These performances were given for students and others who were unable to attend the previous appearance. o Short Play Started By Drama Members "Bound East for Cardiff," by Eugene O'Neill, is the first of a series of one-act plays selected to be produced so that Drama club members not taking part in the quarter production may have experience. It is an entirely male cast, including James Butler, Marshall Bacon, Clinton Gross, Charles Anderson, Frank Allyn; Paul Jackson, Jack Mallahan, Robert Roberts, Richard Stearns, Vernon Leatha and A. E. Charlesworth. Other one-act plays which will be selected in the near future will be presented by appointment to different organizations and some will probably be presented in school as semblies. o Manchurian Situation Outlined at Meeting Mr. Pelagius Williams, of the social science department, has been appointed by the national president, Leroy Alln, to the office of lieutenant governor of the state branch of Pi Gamma Mu, a national honorary social science fraternity. There are over 200 members of Pi Gamma Mu in the state and their work consists mainly of social problems and their solution. A quarterly magazine is published by the society, which covers the work of the society throughout the U n i t ed States. The Pi Gamma Mu society was organized in 1922 and has made remarkable progress in their field since that time. Mr. Williams will work with Dr. Samuel Wier, of the College of Puget Sound, who is state governor of Pi Gamma Mu. In addition to Mr. Williams, other faculty members are: Edward J. Arntzen, James Bever, Nora B. Cummins, Leona Sundquist and Emma S. Erickson. — o———- Melanie . Eisner spent the weekend at her home in Zenith, Wash.

When asked if she also were interested in the stage he replied, 'Yes, she's, a stage designer and helps to plan sets for our plays—but I can't tell you much more about her because we've only been married since September."

Four times Northwest conference champion, and with four of its foe members veterans from |fei/ years team, the Huskies find themselves in the enviable position of being deep in the cellar of the Northwest Conference race. Even little Idaho is one notch above the once-proud Huskies... Oh, well, every, dog has his day—in the cellar —and it looks like the Husky is having his turn there now. o o—— The sporting world lost one of its greatest sports writers and football coaches early this week when Sol Metzger passed away after complications had set in following an ear operation... Metzger; who was 51, seemed to be on the road to recovery np to within a few hours of his death... He was a former football coach of the U. of Penn* Washington and Jefferson, West Virginia, Baylor and the U. of South Carolina. He starred on the University of Pennsylvanai football team in 1901-02-03 and coached the Penn championship team in 1905. o o Fairhaven high school hoopsters have done themselves proud thus far this season. Four Class A victories in as many starts gives them undisputed leadership in the league. Last Tuesday the Grizzlies toppled Ferndale 19-8, while Lynden was denting the dope-bucket by dropping the strong Mount Baker five 21-20 in as fast and close a game as has been seen in the prep school league this season. o o Intercollegiate tennis, golf, rifIery, and all freshman competition except crew and basketball have been wiped off the University of Washington's program for the remainder of the school year... Steve Anderson, former premier high hurdler, was one of the assistant coaches to be dropped. ,......• '••• . o^—o • Skiing is fast becoming one of the most popular outdoor sports in the Northwest.

HAGGERTY VERY GOOEr ED by their stealer .'•"veteran,. Jimmy Rork, the Nor mal Vikings took an early lead and never relinquished \ o t i t throughput the sntire game to defeat St. Martin's college 35 to 31, Saturday night. The game was played on the Whatcom court. Although the Vikings led the entire game, the outcome was always in doubt. The game proved to be a hard checking, fast breaking scrap, from start to finish. Both teams displayed a smooth clicking offense. Bangers Rangy *"" St. Martin Rangers put an exceptionally tall team on the floor. Led by Sibilla and Haggerty, the Rangers had Normalites worried at times. Taylor, who scored seven points for the visitors, used a one-handed shot from the center lane to a great advantage. Haggerty, of the Collegians, scored nine points for his night's work. Sibilla, who followed Taylor with six points, and Bufkin, who had his hands full checking McBeath, both were seen in action last fall when St. Martins was guest to the Viking football team. Vikings Work Hard Sam Carver's boys, determined to win, started out by running up a score of 19 to 14 at halftime. In this half, the Vikings led most of the way by one point, up until the closing minutes of the period when they lengthened it to five points. Starting out the second half, the Vikings jumped their lead up to 24 to 15, only to have the Rangers run up four points in quick succession. Again the Carverites started clicking and ran up their biggest lead of the game, leading 30 to 19. Rangers Rally Haggerty replaced Taylor at center, who in turn replaced Hill at forward. With eight minutes left to play, the Rangers hit the basket for ten markers in quick order, bringing the score up to 29 to 30. At this point the Vikings called time out, and coming back, McNeil converted a foul shot while Clint McBeath dropped in two beautiful long shots. Haggerty came in with a short shot, and both teams were fighting the ball as the gun ended the game. Scoring Spectacular As far as the Vikings were concerned, the scoring of Jimmy Rork, center, was about as pleasing as a check from home. Rork hit the basket for sixteen markers, all field goals. Clint McBeath, who scored seven markers, .from forward post, played a bang-up floor game, as well as furnishing his two timely longs that meant victory. Wahl, "Mac's" running mate, came through with five points, while Kienast, who didn't figure in the scoring, and Johnesen and McNeil all played fine games at guard. The Vikings were handicapped throughout, by being unable to control the tip-off, which accounted for a number of the Rangers' points. Preliminary Interesting The Normal Jayvees step out of their class in the curtain-raiser to the big game, and were defeated by the Pacific American Fisheries five, 39 to 21. Gissberg, for the Jayvees, accounted for five of their points. The P. A. F. was led by Fred Haick-el with 13 points, while his brother, Frank, and Leach each chalked up nine points. Iver Moe was referee of this fracas. The games were witnessed by a fair-sized crowd. Earle Jewell officiated in a very creditable manned in the main game, which was unusually free of fouling. The Vikings will play the Rangers a return game on their floor, February 20. The Line-ups follow: Vikings 35 St. Martins 31 Even such an unusual event as the recent snowfall and cold weathr er could not dampen the spirits of many .members of the W. A. A. hiking team. Saturday, December 16, twenty-two enthusiastic girls donned their warmest clothing and hiked to Toad lake over the snow-cbvered trails. ' After the exhilirating hike to the lake the girls had some real snowball fights, roiled snow angels, and hiked around near the lake. Before the return trip cheese and hardtack, which had been brought by a couple of thoughtful girls, was enjoyed by the cold and hungry hikers. Due to the unusual weather, this trip proved one of the most popular taken by the girls so far tfhis year, according to Miss Lillian George, faculty leader. Tomorrow, January 24, the girls will go on another short afternoon hike. The choice of the destination for this trip is Lake Padden, and every girl in school is cordially invited to join in this Saturday afternoon activity. o INTRAMURAL LEAGUE COMPETITION FASTER McBeath 7 .... .....F...:;.... .......

This intramural league is getting to be quite a fast circuit. By the looks of things the depression is over, as far as intramural basketball is cincerned. A galaxy of former high school stars are the backbone of the interschool conference. Each quintet in the league boasts and praises the merits of their leading opponents on the maple court. Looking around the league the Co-Op five, first-half champions, draws first fire. The Thugs are out in front of the circuit and no questions asked! . They won the first-half thumbs down. But the other seven clubs are promising better teams this half. In fact Vanadis Bragi, after taking a terrific lacing from the Wonders last week, made Viking Manor play some pretty nice ball to win. Two teams in the league that are expected to give the Thugs a run for the second half pennant are the fast Wonder five and the Viking Manor quintet. In the first half Co-Op was hard pressed to defeat these teams, PPPPP

Shenenberger has edited the weekly for the past two quarters and previously served on the staff as assistant business manager, managing editor, and sports editor. The proposed social calendar for the school year of 1935-36 was presented to the Board by President Gordon Millikan. It was accepted by the Board with one alteration. Because of the similarity of campus day and the all-school picnic, the group decided thai; the all-school picnic should be struck from the social calendar. With this change, the calendar was ready for the consideration of the Faculty committee on student affairs. School to be Represented An invitation was recently received from the Pacific Northwest Institute of International Relations, at Portland, Oregon, urging the school to send as ceiegates to its annual convention two students interested in this work. The Board considered this matter and voted to send the delegates. It also recommended that a committee of faculty and students be appointed by the Board to name the students who j The Final Week Is Here! GRf\D - WE MUTE Representatives Dropped by ICC Organizations Will Not Be Able To Attend Fall Nominating Convention (Contniued on Page Four) Norjnalite COPY » * * * COMMENT * * * » CHEERS! • * * o CHARM By Harry Goheen Hearty greetings to my enormous public. I have never written this column before ("that's clear", I hear you sneer), and probably never will again, so this is undoubtedly the best Normalite I'll ever write. In spite of my inherent modesty I can't help feeling rather important writing a feature like this—do you know that no less a person than Arthur Brisbane gets paid a fabulous sum for a column in the same spot as this one in the Seattle P.-I. and elsewhere? Of especial interest to music lovers was the Normal school assembly last Friday. Tastefully costumed in Russian dress, the Normal School Women's chorus and the Belling-ham Singers' club gave a delightful program of Russian music. Particularly well received by the audience was the lovely interpretation of the Russian folk song, "Kalinka". Sue McMillan played a piano piece. * * lt; • * * I suggest for student persusal the four volumes in the library entitled "The International Jew". These sane and sociologically well-founded books are reprints (1921) of articles which appeared in Henry Ford's Dearborn Independent shortly after the war. They are small books but they are absolutely packed with scientific facts. It will give you pause to read "How the Jews in the U. S. Conceal Their Strength". You will be shocked to learn how "Jewish Gamblers Corrupt American Baseball". You will be horrified to read of "Benedict Arnold (the traitor) and His Jewish Aids at West Point" in 1780. Your blood will boil to learn about "Jewish Hot-Beds of Bolshevism in the U. S". and you will exult with the Dearborn Independent over the fact that "Dr. Levy, a Jew, Admits His People's Error". * • * . * • * . . Now that the Men's club has arrayed itself in its true colors, a burning issue has presented itself. (Continued on Page Four) Because of failure of representatives to attend two consecutive meetings the following organizations have been dropped from the Inter-club council; the freshman class, the Junior-senior class, the Men's club, the W club, the Social Science club, the Thespian club, and the Valkyrie club. These organizations will have to apply to the faculty committee on student affairs and the ICC for reinstatement. When a club is dropped from the council, it loses its status as an organized club of the school. It may apply for reinstatement at the first ICC meeting in the fall. These clubs have also lost the privilege of attending the fall nominating convention. The rule of dropping the clubs has been in effect for some time, but has never been enforced before. o Infirmary Nurse Leaves for South The Hospital is soon to have a new woman in charge. Miss May Mead, nurse, has been busy for the past week, interviewing applicants for the position. Mrs. Ella Woods left May 28 for California. Mrs. Woods came here 11 years ago from Seattle, where she was employed in a university fraternity house. Before leaving she commented, "I have enjoyed caring for the student patients at all times, and have found it a pleasure to cooperate with Miss Mead". Miss Margaret Reynolds, sister of Mrs. Woods, is taking charge of the hospital until a new practical nurse Is appointed. Pup Gets Favored German-Minded Dog Sleeps and Enjoys JSelf ..' It has been suggested that a puppy club be started in the German class for all resident and visiting dogs who suffer from insomnia, devoted entirely to the care of these animals. One dog was treated, with excellent results, during recitation Monday. And not even subjunctives disturbed his slumbers. When the bell rang, he rose with the. students, stretched, yawned, and ambled out as though he'd been attending class all quarter! Results, we calls it! Editor's note: Must have been a dachshund. Summer Assembly Programs Planned Kindschy Puppets Will Appear As Special Feature With a variety of musicians, speakers, and the Kindschy Puppets, the summer quarter assembly program offers interesting entertainment. The Kindschy Puppets open the list on Friday, June 2, in a special assembly at 9 a. m. At 11 a. m. the Seattle Mixed quartette will sing. The following Tuesday a concert ensemble composed of piano, violin, and concert baritone will appear; on June 28, Professor Sneddon of Columbia university will speak. The July 2 assembly will feature Christine Russum, flutist. Louise Van Ogle, professor of music at the University of Washington will lecture on Finald July 5. Continuing the musical programs will be Cornelius Van Vliet, cellist, on July 9, and Robert Crawford, baritone, on July 12. Dramatic readings with musical accompaniment presented by Edith and Alan Kopelson will offer variety for the July 16 assembly. On July 19 students will hear Lucia Chag-non, mezzo-soprano. Dr. Thomas S. Barclay of Stanford university will speak on July 23. As the last July assembly John Crowder, professor of music at the University of Montana, will present a piano program. (Continued on Page Four) Art Exhibits To Be Given Soon Prints, Etching, And Photography Will Have Showing Here Next Quarter Two art exhibits, one of block prints and etchings and another of photography, are to be featured during' the summer quarter. The block prints by Norma Bassett Hall are unusual because they are done in colors. The etchings are the work of Arthur Hall. Although the arrangements have not been completed, the photography exhibit by a young Seattle artist, John Yaw, will probably also be given. Miss Dorothy McHvain who is making the arrangements, says that his work is mostly plant studies, which are very good. He also does some portrait work. The Campus Elementary School Art exhibit was put up last Thursday in the fourth, fifth, and sixth grade rooms. It consists of the best work each child has done during the year. Some class projects, such as mural paintings, a wall hanging, block prints, and illustrations of plays they have given this year are on display. . o Bob Roberts, former Normal student and member of the Viking staff, has recently been pledged to the Sigma Delta Chi, journalistic honorary. Roberts is now a student at the University of Washington. GRADUATION CALENDAR Saturday, June 8—Alumni day 7:00 p. m.—Alumni banquet, Crystal Ball room, Hotel Leopold.

Speeches by Fisher and Weir Will Honor Grads Next Week At Class Day, Commencement Plans For Building Are Presented to Federal Engineer Government Appropriates Bigger Grant for Fund; Construction May Be Larger In the nature of an application for funds, plans for the new Physical Education building were submitted to E. R. Hoffman, federal engineer in charge of the PWA, by President C. H. Fisher in Olympia last Monday. From Olympia the plans will be forwarded to Washington, D. C, for examination. "Hoffman looked upon the plans with favorable consideration", the Prexy reveals, "but no work can be done until returns are received from Washington". The Washington State Normal school at Bellingham was the first state school to request building appropriations to complete its plans. President Fisher reports that the building, with accommodations for both men and women, is even better suited to the needs of this school than former plans. The swimming pool occupying the central part of the three-unit building is five feet wider than the U of W pool. Because the Federal government is allowing grants for 45 per cent of the appropriations instead of 30 per cent, the original grant, a larger building may be constructed. "If the plans are approved in Washington and the fund appropriated, we will have the best gymnasium for a school of our size in the state", Fisher comments. - o -— Normal Instructor Honored Recently Columbia University Gives Award Of One Year's Study Miss Lucy Kangley, instructor in the Normal's English department, has been awarded a $1200 scholarship in the ---------- Northwest Viking - 1935 June 7 - Page 2 ---------- WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, A COLLEGE OF EDUGATldN.BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Established 1899 Published every Friday except during the month of September by the Associated Students, Washington State Normal School, Bellingham.

PHYLLIS ROBINSON Society Editor MARGARET MORSE Exchange Editor HELEN HOSTETTER Staff Artist BEVERLY HOLIDAY — - ......Staff Artist Students, Not Clubs, Should Take Criticism Finally the Inter-club council has come to life with a decision that knocked seven organizations right out of existence. Clubs have been warned that they would be dropped if their representatives were absent from two consecutive meetings, and finally action has been taken. This does not mean that those groups will not be eligible for reinstatement, but it means that they will have to become active partners in Inter-club council business to be again recognized. Although the action taken by the council affects the seven organizations, it is really the student representatives from each of them that should be criticized. Surely when a student is nominated and elected to such an office he should realize his responsibility to the group, at least to the extent of attending the few council meetings that are held each quarter If the students were really asked to spend a great deal of time for the council work there might be some excuses. However, with such simple duties to perform they should have no comeback. The work of the Inter-club council in the past has been none too successful. With the earnest cooperation of each organization in school, however, they should be able to accomplish some commendable things toward the furtherance of club life. And So, Goodby For the Year The last issue of the Northwest Viking for the regular school year of 1934-35 goes to press.. To those who graduate we give our sincere congratulations; to the new and old friends that have made the school year more pleasant, we wish success; to others we have not met we wish well; and to our contributors we say "thanks!" Peggoty's Requiem By One Who Knows- PEGGOTY, PRUNELLA —Entered into rest Friday, June 7, 1935, 11:60 a. m., beloved mistress of James Peggoty, her faithful old dog. Funeral Friday, June 7, at 12 a. m. p. m. Member of the Pride of the West lodge No. 1,999% A. F and A. M. The shadow of the grim reaper has once more passed over our midst and we find: that his heavy hand has rested upon our dear Aunt Peggoty. Mortally wounded by a murderous group of Normal students, our dear Aunt died with her chin up and a stiff upper lip. As I, her last, only, and most faithful admirer, stepped up to deal the dearth blow, ishe raised her gray head and with the tears welling from her big brown eyes and streaming down her wrinkled old face she feebly whispered the famous last words of the immortal Caesar, "You too, you brute?" Thus Miss Prunella Peggoty is no more and TIME MARCHES ON! Dear Mama, This graduating business—it is getting me down. First it was the banquet. I spilled soup in somebody's lap and then took a drink off of the finger bowl and then stuck the fork through my upper lip and broke off a tooth and then they all laughed and the big Swede gave us each fifty bucks. When we got up to go I stepped on a rug, slipped and fell, and skinned my elbows and knees. And to top it off I didn't know the elevator was up on the fifth floor. I picked myself up and climbed out of the basement. Upstairs I found a phone booth and tried to call a taxi. The string on my nickel broke. I couldn't get out of the darn booth. I poked my elbow through the window. Along came the clerk—I picked myself up out of the gutter in front of the hotel. Then there was baccalaureate. It was a solemn occasion. We marched in solemnly and all of a sudden my foot slipped and pulled three others down with me. The songs—I almost forgot the songs. I couldn't find the page, but when I did it was the wrong book so I just whistled. And then commencement—more marching. I stepped on my gown and tore it off all the way around the top. It left a little collar around my neck. It tangled up in my feet and somebody laughed and the big Swede gave us each fifty bucks. When we went to drop our cards in the little box in the pavement I guess I must have slipped or something 'cause the next thing I knew I was sitting on the pavement with my shoe caught in that little box. I tugged and pulled but couldn't get it out. Finally I unlaced it and left it in there. It's probably still there. I never want to go through it again—these graduation exercises— my shins, my feet, my elbows, my gosh! With love, YOUR SON. Staff Offers Apologies To Critical Followers Of Unpopular Keyhole Angry buzzings have reached our ears that Keyhole has been mistreated— that the Viking without Keyhole is like Hamburgers without onions—that above all the gossip is necessary. For three weeks they have been duped—smart-alecs have satirized that tradition! We apologize! We only felt that we were doing our duty—that Keyhole was not worthy of our high standards—that we should act—and act immediately! And when we acted, we committed an almost unpardonable sin! We were no longer giving our readers what they wanted. How can we make amends for our error—if it is small enough to be called an error? Too late we have learned our mistake— and many of you will go out of these halls of learning feeling that your education is sadly neglected— that something is definitely lacking. When you take your place in the world of men, you will not be able to stand on equal ground with those who were graduated from Normal in previous times—and all because of our attempts to make a play upon the darling of so many Normalites. We humbly apologize —can we say more? And as proof of our apology, we offer—GOSSIP! PE.GGY FOSTER is certainly going for ARNE JOHNSEN'S LITTLE BROTHER in a large way—and little SHANGLE has finally noticed NORMAJANE GORSLINE, has been for some time. We could say more—but time, and space, and perhaps the libel law won't allow. Are we forgiven? o Magazine Money Our Bard Dips Into Future; Lacks Soul You may be able to "hang your clothes on a hickory limb" but you can't go swimming in the new PE pool. No you can't—you see the pool hasn't been built and besides the neighbors might not like the nudist colony idea. Of course if you just must get wet, you might try one of gardener Dack's sprinklers when he isn't looking. Sprinklers may have their advantages, but they leave duck diving out of the question. Another possibility consists of closing all the doors and drains in the shower room and turning on all the spigots when no one is around. Again there is a danger—your heart may fail you and you would die of hydraulic excess. Oh yes—the reservoir. But there is a fence and a city ordinance, and remember yflu drink that water—when you drink water. Klipsun Autographs Unless you get to be a Max Baer, a Jack Oakie, or rich enough to have a check book, next week will be as close as you will ever get to publicity and writer's cramps. May I have your autograph? Careful with that signature! When you put it in a strange Klipsun to be bandied about by philangeostopaths (finger psychiatrists) who, if you become famous may say, That Mr. U— wouldn't lift a hand to aid the starving Chinese because he had a hangnail on his little finger, and international rings of forgerers hemming and hawing us at every step. What with the kidnapers, the banker, and the tot still at large too.. .. Nobody is hardly to blame for this balladian sonnet. As the eternal ages onward roll, And grind to dust your shriveled soul. And on this page you see my name, But memory can't my face reclaim. Warble some old and sadder l y, And you'll feel the same as I look today. Leave the gum behind your ear; I'm not stuck up even if I can write poetry. Another Russian Play; Well, We Think It Is What Else Can It Be? Shining, tinkling coins have always played an important part in the lives of human beings. It is to that monetary interest, which poet and peasant must share alike, that the articles in many current magazines appeal. * * * * "Speed and control . . . will tell the success or failure of the four billion dollar Work Relief program". With this statement Bernard Kil-gore begins his article, "Spending $10,000,000 a Day", which is one of the features in the May 18 issue of Today. The better part of four pages is spent in detailed explanation of this assertion. * * * * Still another article on the relief program may be found in the May 22 New Republic.

To start with, Coach Carver had only a squad of ten possible men whom he could count on for points, turning out. Out of these ten there were only three lettermen. Lacking a pole vaulter, shot, and 440 man, the Norsemen faced the strong CPS and Ellensburg teams at Tacoma, and managed to take second with 38 points. Don Holder was the outstanding man of the day for the Vikings, collecting twelve points. He won the broad jump, high jump, in which he tied for second. Other firsts were Taylor, in the mile; Brinkman in the two mile, and Arne Johnsen in the low hurdles. A week later the strong Washington frosh team was the conqueror, when they upset the Vikings 81 to 40. Here the school teachers grabbed only three firsts; Johnsen in the hundred, Kenoyer the 880, and Taylor in the mile. Johnsen was high point man with seven points; taking first in the hundred and second in the low hurdles. Holder high-jumped six feet only, and tied for second. - Previous to the tri-normal meet the Vikings met the Cheney team in a'dual meet and took the short end of a 80-51 score. Again only four firsts were tallied by Belling-ham. Taylor won a beautiful 4.34 mile, and Johnsen a ten flat hundred. Kenoyer and Sargent tied in the 880 and Holder won the high jump, making him high point man for the Vikings. I n the tri-normal meet at Ellensburg, Don Kenoyer and Holder were the shining lights. The former set a new record in the 880' at 2.01 breaking the old mark by two- 19 Girls Awarded All Stars in WAA Many Athletes Are Given Letters At Normalstad Dinner WELLMAN'S Jewelry Shop Gifts for all occasions.

Holder was high point man of the meet, and accomplished revenge by winning the high hurdles and broad jump, defeating his rivals, Walter and Beyersdorf, who both took him.the week before. The only other first for the Vikings was Johnsen in the 220 dash. Several outstanding marks were made by Viking cindermen in spite of the defeat suffered. Holder increased his high jump mark to six feet, also broad jumping close to 22 feet, and running the high hurdles under 16 seconds. Johnsen ran the hundred in ten flat, showing considerable improvement over last . year. Kenoyer's wonderful race at the tri-normal proved his ability as a half miler. Bill Taylor improved his mile mark to 3.34 and should be hard to beat next year. Our Aim is to Serve and.

All the regular men on the squad were able to earn their letters and that speaks well for the Vikings in games won. The team consisted of the following men: number 1, Ladd Shangle; number 2, Jack Joly; number 3, Roger Mullen; number 4, Mon Orloff; and number 5, Oscar Starlund. The Norsemen were defeated in their first match of the season by CPS on April 25. Shangle and Joly were, t h e only men able to win their singles, but Mullen aided Joly in the doubles and the team lost by only one point. On May 6, Mount Vernon Junior college came to Bellingham to take a trouncing at the hands of the Vikings. Normal won 6 to 1. The strong Frosh team took the Vikings by the same score that Normal had beaten the Junior collegians. Coach Carver's men went to CPS with a new hope and came home victorious with a 5 to 2 win in their pockets. Ellensburg defeated the Vikings 4 to 3 in their next encounter and at the tri-normal, Bellingham was again beaten by the Wildcats. Mullen was the only home town winner in the tri-normal. He managed to annex the second singles title. The final game of the season was Failing to win a single game against college competition, the Viking nine this spring experienced one of the most disastrous seasons in the school's history. The^team registered three wins, but two were against the Whatcom and Fair-haven high schools, and the other against a local town team. The season opened with a four game series against CPS, which the Loggers swept through with four straight wins. In the third game of this tourney the Vikings made one of their most determined efforts to break into the win column when they held a lead throughout almost the entire game, only to be nosed out in extra innings. The only other college team Which the Viking met was the UW Frosh nine, in a home and home series. Both of these games were won by the 'freshmen by rather close scores. One of the chief reasons for the team's failure to win may be attributed to the lack of a strong pitching staff, although the outfit was also rather weak in hitting. Players who earned their letters were: Reis and Tooley, pitchers; McKenzie, catcher; Kvinsland, Stutz, Johnson, Severins, Zwaschka, and Vander Griend, infield; Al-paugh, Wooten, McCleary, and Miller, outfield. . o with the U of W Frosh, Bellingham again lost although they derived some satisfiction out of the meet when Orloff won his singles and thereby earned his letter. With the WAA By Joan Hoppe As we tread these venerable halls for the last time we seem to hear the echoes of many footsteps and the laughing voice of carefree students who have long since left the shadow of these ivy-covered walls to face life, with all its petty strifes and cruel disappointments (teardrop) .

WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, A COLLEGE OF EDUCATIQ^ Present Editor Is Reappointed Students To Attend International Relations Convention Next Month {Continued from Page One) will represent the school at this convention. The fact that the business manager of the Klipsun spends much time and effort without receiving any substantial reward was brought to the attention of the Board. The decision was reached that after this year the $100 previously paid to the editor should be split, the editor receiving $75 and the business manager $25. Vote of Thanks Given Since the success of the tennis court dance and a number of other student entertainments this year was due, for the' most part, to the financial aid of the freshman class, the Board agreed unanimously that a vote of thanks be sent, to that organization. —o Assembly Program Given by Songsters Boson Pleased With Cooperation Shown by Students "The performance that the Chorus gave in assembly May 28, gave the students rather helpful experience in learning how to put on this type of thing, which is very popular in schools and communities at the present time", stated Nils Boson of the Music department. "The spirit of cooperation that prevailed was gratifying and unusual". The costumes were made by the girls in the Chorus and they were excused from no class to accomplish this task. The same program was put on during the Rotary convention at the American theater. Mr. Boson felt that it sounded better here because of the large size of the theater. o Normal Graduates To Be Guests of Alumni At Banquet Saturday Girls Not Phased By Rain, Smoke On Camping Trip Prepare Dinner Over Open Fire For Thirty WAA Members And Guests Smoky food and rocky beds did not dull the enthusiasm of the Campcraft class when they went on their field trip to Normalstad last week-end. Nor did the fact that it rained early Saturday morning dampen their spirits nearly so much as it did their sleeping bags. It was all part of the game and sand and cinders which occasionally drifted into the biscuit dough or goulash added atmosphere. Despite grandmother's warning that cooking cannot be learned in a day, the class proved such adept pupils that they were able to serve 30 starving WAA members and guests with a meal of baked beans cooked in a bean hole, vegetable salad mixed in a milk bucket, creamed peas, and strawberry shortcake which was baked in a reflector oven over the open fire. As evidence that the meal was palatable, most of the diners returned for a second helping. The girls who were on the trip can be recognized by queer little whistle cords (usually minus the whistle) which they learned to make at camp and of which they are duly proud. Plans are being made for the annual Alumni day banquet by Miss Georgia P. Gragg and her committee, to be given in the Crystal Ball room of the Leopold hotel, Saturday evening, June 8, at 7:00 p. m. Speeches will be made by representatives of the classes of 1900, 1905, 1910, 1915, 1920, 1925, and 1930. Special guests at this banquet will be all the June and August graduates. Invitations were sent to all Alumni informing them also of the financial conditions of the school at the present time. About two-thirds of the cuts in salaries and wages for the faculty, and office staff employes have been restored. During the past year the enrollment in the regular school year and in the summer session increased about 20 per cent. The committee headed by Miss Gragg hopes that there will be many who attend the reunion and banquet. Campus Publication Undergoes Change Only One Issue Made This Year By Elementary School Contrary to the usual procedure, the Junior Viking, Campus Elementary school publication, is being issued but once this year. In the past, there have been two yearly issues, one in the fall and one in the spring. Several of the classes have individual papers and pamphlets, making one copy of the Viking a year sufficient. Some of the material used is selected from these class productions. The magazine serves as a standard for creative drawing and writing on the part of the students, in connection with their classes. The magazine itself is divided into two main sections, the first in larger print for the children of the lower grades, who also supply their own illustrative material. The second half is ha smaller print, and concerns the activities of the upper grades. Both sections are composed of illustrations, summaries, and poems. The pages are mimeographed, and the cover of yellow paper is decorated with an original woodcut. The parts are assembled by those on the editorial staff. The staff consists of students in the eighth grade: editor, Mary Ab-rams; business manager, George Boynton; art editors, Kathleen Cooper and Marion Lee Barlow. The reporters are: Mary Ann Bin-zer, Margaret Hilton, June Cory, Patricia Crowley, Charles Larrabee, and Richard Baumberger. The reporters collected the news while the staff, with the aid of their adviser, Miss Bertha Crawford, assembled and wrote the selections.

Fisher Is Re-Elected POSITIONS} LEFT VACANT BY RESIGNATIONS UNFILLED. The Normal Board of Trustees met Friday, April 17, for the purpose od adopting a policy regarding the ad justements made necessary by the recent budget cut. • Changes were necessary in both faculty salary reduction and an increase in student fees. It was decided to make a five percent reduction in the salaries paid at the Normal including the president, faculty, office staff and employees. Student Fees Increased Since the teachers share in this cut it was felt that it was only fair that the students too should share in this emergency situation. In view of this fact, there will be an increase amounting to five dollars per quarter in the existing fees but no new fees will be added. In commenting on this change, President C. H. Fisher said: "We had to either add on to the present student fees or drop members of the faculty and we felt that we could not do this without crippling the work of the school. At this meeting the policy was adopted to preserve what has been built up during the past years."

Well, this is the closest I haye ever been to Royalty, to say nothing of an Absolute Monarch, and then I didn't see King Prajahipok, but I did see his father- in-law, Prince Svasti. •'',1'.':-The.'

At home in Bangkok, the prince is the owner and editor of the Bangkok Daily Mail, a newspaper which has both British and American correspondence.

She graduated from Prosser high school and then entered Bellingham Normal in September, 1930. Miss Thomas withdrew from school April 7. She was taken to the hospital April'8 and operated on that day. Two weeks later she died. o— NATURALIST PLANS SPEECH HERE SOON F. W. SCHMOE, SCIENCE CHIEF, WILL ILLUSTRATE LECTURE. In the assembly on Tuesday, April 28, Mr. F. W. Schmoe, the well-known Western naturalist, will present an illustrated lecture entitled "The Cruise of a Sea Gypsy in Alaska." Mr. Schmbe is the executive secretary of the Puget Sound Academy of Science, which has its headquarters at the University of Washington. He lectured in the Normal assembly two years ago, having as his subject "My Wilderness Neighbors," based on his observations around Mt. Rainier. He has been cruising in Alaska in a forty-foot sailing boat, coyer-. tag, over..3;000 miles of- waterways, having many very interesting "experiences and securing a splendid set of pictures. The pictures, which he himself takes, include almost everything from glaciers to Indian mummies and sailing to big game hunting (with a camera). These pictures are made into colored slides, and used in illustrating lectures. __ o WOMEN'S GROUP VOTE OFFICERS IN FOR THREE QUARTERS STARTING IN FALL While political controversy in the feminine world has not raged as violently as in the all-school affair, there is stili much doubt as to who will gain the honors in the Women's League election. Today in the regular assembly the votes were cast to decide which girls would lead the women's organization for the Fall, Winter, and Spring quarters of 1931 and 1932. Offices filled at this time were president, vice-president, s e c r e t a r y, treasurer, and faculty adviser. Girls whose petitions received the necessary twenty-five signers and who automatically became nominees were Vera Esleby and Katherine Frost for president and Miss Ruth Piatt for faculty adviser. Other names which received various numbers of signers were: Clara Stokesberry and Cathleen Hill, vice-president; Edith Jenkins and Bessie Taylor, secretary; Mary Tarbox and Elizabeth Squire, treasurer; and Miss Hazel Breakey, faculty adviser. These names were nominated from the floor, since the necessary quota of signers was not obtained on the bulletin, board petitions. MISS,||ICH TO ATTEND MifellNG IN SEATTLE Miss Mary E.

The season will start out with a bang in the form of a big game with St. Martin's on the local field tomorrow afternoon. On the heels of this first game of the season will come the track meet with C. P. S. on Wednesday, April 29. To hail the coming;of the wonderful month of May the WAA girls have decided to invite the whole school to a "Jitney Dance." It is to be held on the old tennis courts. The proverbial "three dances for five cents" with the ladies standing in the lines that such a dance requires will lend the right amount of atmosphere to an event that already shows promise of being one of the ticket sellers of the year. Drama Club Picnic Pop will be sold for the meager price of five cents and the girls have promised to have on hand all the pop that the Normalites can consume. Those on the committee for this dance are. Nina Johansen, Josephine Sabloskie, Marian Grieve, Marie Wesseler, Dorothy Top, Frei-da Klinski, Hildur Johanson, and Winnie DeWitt. ,. _ ,v, j ,»/ May 9 will hailthe^coming of the Drama club picnic to be held at Shoreacres.

SSSBSEP •-.— •- -3036 The Viking wishes to express its regret on hearing the news of the death of Evelyn Thomas, who had been a student here since September, 1930, and to extend the sympathy of Bellingham Normal as a whole to her family and friends. .-——' ;—o- : ; ADVERTISE! There are so few, if any, in the school that do not take pride in the whole make-up of the institution, that they do not even count when the final score is tallied. But for the large number that enjoy the surroundings and the life offered to them, recognition is a great thing. It has been called to the attention pf The Viking several times that the people of Bellingham, in the main, know comparatively little of what is going on up here beneath ^ehome^ ,i We have met up with experiences where visitors claim that they have trouble in finding the school, and in asking for information find that 'people of. the city know little or nothing of the place. Some even are vague as to where it is situated. In other cases it has been proven that sometimes no interest is taken in the school whatsoever. It is a large problem as to who is to blame for such a condition existing. But education is needed,in some sugar pill form. It is no credit to the townspeople,and Jess than that to the school. It is true that it is not a policy for the school to carry on a wholesale campaign of advertising on the school that is perched on the hill. It is quite valuable in many ways to have the place and its activity well before the eyes of the Bellingham public. . F r o m their side of it, they are to be criticised in general for not taking . more interest in a group that brings many dollars into the town each week. .There.are those, of course, that back the school to the limit. ,^"llie. Viking is anxious to see that the school gets more recognition in ;trjei future, but is at a loss to find a way of accomplishing this. It will welcome any idea the students can submit and will take the responsibility ci. putting over an "educational" campaign, if it can get hold of one at ^ail feasible. The students that have any ideas are asked to confer with . the local office at some convenient date. VIOLA WASTERLAIN PRESENTS GROUP OF VIOLIN NUMBERS. PRESCRIPTION—DEATH! Apparently the clubs of the school are dead—at least that is the thought that has been expressed by many during the last several years. As this issue seems to be a strong one with many, The Viking set out to find statistics and information that would substantiate such a statement. Little success was met with. After all it was found that only a few of the clubs are really dead. It appears that several of those that make social activity hold the center of the stage, are having a hard time to weather out the "depression." A great many, however, are working regularly on some special topic, and are anything but defunct. The clubs that we speak of as social should not be ranked as institutions having irresponsible membership, poor leadership, or any other charges that picture the personnel as more or less dead. It is not the fault of the people that have joined these in the past few years, but merely a matter of changes in the daily routine of the school. .There was a time when Normalites depended on these groups for the major part of their social life, a thing that is vital to the students, and consequently good food for the lively club parasites that fed on it. Each year the social calendar of the school has been made fuller and more rounded. Today it supplies practically all that the students can absorb in their actual school life, and the need for; these clubs has been less and less through it all. There are so many types of these groups that it is impossible to make all statements and views apply to them, and thus we point out none in particular but apply everything in a general way. To those groups that have international problems, the study of politics, history, foreign relations, the religious and athletic sets, it is evident that they are working in the enlightenment end and do not get a great deal of opposition from school society. These are in many cases held together a great deal by the classroom contact between teached and leader. Those will continue to thrive. fAs to the clubs that are having a hard time to labor against the school activities, we feel that they will be better off when they gradually die a natural death. Then if they are missed and needed it will be little trouble for them to again take on growth. At the present, though, sev-jeral of them are at a standstill. THE RIGHT SPIRIT It isn't so good when an organization starts on a project in the entertainment type and then fails to give it. But when they immediately retaliate and get ready to go through with it for sure on a later date, they are to be complimented. The Men drew criticism when they called their show off, but they were justified from their standpoint. They were unable to go through with the, thing as planned, they didn't want to give a "half-baked" production. They are working harder than ever now and in the end will show something to the students that will be above the original. But more important than anything is the fact that they will be keeping an indirect promise made to the student body. if!!!

' Were all these men oat to have their pictures taken or are they really on the team? Anyway it is nice to hitch your dreams to a star. Last Tuesday in a practice game, Thorson showed up with a little speed... Campbell was on third and Thorson was on second. Thorson decided to steal a base so away he Went... When he got to third, Campbell was still there and so he had to go back to second, and, he made it. That looks like a little of the **ol pepper" is in there pitchin*. * Q * - And now they have put the skids on boxing. A few days ago the faculty committee at the University of Washington ruled out inter-collegiate boxing. That is a tough hreak, Washington. The boxing team in the last four years has been doing good work and Coach Norm Kunde has been a good coach. Of course, it is the right of the committee to role thusly. Maybe the idea is a good one and maybe not. That, naturally, must be settled by future developments. Is it just personal view points or is there really something the matter with boxing? * Q * Percy Williams, sprint champion star of the 1928 Olympic games, will come to Bellingham some time this summer and compete against any sprinter in the 100-yard dash and in the 100-meter events. Williams wants to limber up and gel in some competition before entering the 1932 Olympic games where he meets Eddie Tolan of Michigan, who defeated him. lost year. * Q • Well folks, tomorrow is the day of the first baseball game of the season. The Vikings will meet the St. Martin's Bangers on Waldo field at two o'clock. i The squad of boys' are pretty green yet, but after tomorrow's battle they will be in much better shape. Dixon, Thorson, McCIeary, Iverson, and H. McCIeary are the veterans and they will have to help the boys along a bit. Well, let's get out and give the boys a big hand. • Q « How does the typical track man measure up with the typical gridiron performer? Statistics. comparisons of the members of last fall's championship Cougar football team and the present track and field squad reveal that the average cinder artist is shorter, lighter and younger than his grid brother. The figures show the average track man 5 feet 10% iches tall, 161 pounds in weight and 21 years old. The football average of last fall was 5 feet 11 inches tall, 181 pounds in weight and 21.7 years old. JIMMY DAVIS IS INDIVIDUAL WINNER BY CINCHING 20 OF THE 87 POINTS SCORED. SOPHOMORES 38 And last week in the inter-class track meet the frosh beat the upper classmen by a score of 87 to 38. Davis, a frosh from Burlington, Was the high point man. Three cheers for the frosh and fripre power to the sophs and it looks liMe: there :is some good material in the frosh outfits. _ -. • .:;, o ^— Last Wednesday afternoon the Varsity baseball team took on Whatcom high for- a practice game of nine innings.. The fiinal score showed the Vikings in the lead by a large margin, the score being 8 to :J The Whatcom Redskins seemed very ; over-confident and so the Wkings wind of took them off their iftghchah; WtMJ^slms hadn% J^? ^ confident the score would; ;%qO%;beev j£ •Nice work, boys, and let's do the' Garnering a total of 87 points in the interclass track meet last Saturday the Prosh:soundly trounced the Sophomores who were able to chalk up but 38 markers. With a total of 11 first, 10 seconds an dthe remainder in thirds, the yearlings far outplaced the up-perclassmen who had a total of but 3 firsts, 5 seconds and a few thirds. This defeat dealt out by the ambitious Frosh was even more staggering than the one of last year, and points to some very good material for Coach Carver's cinder artists. Time for the runs was considerably retardted by a stiff wind that slowed the runners on the straight away. Frosh on Top From the opening event the Frosh held the upper hand and at no time did the Sophs show themselves to be outstanding opponents for their rivals. In the first event, the 100-yard dash, the . Frosh jumped immediately in the lea,d when Thomas, Gable adn Campbell rolled in nine points for their team. Thomas won by a hairs-breadth in 10 and 4-5 seconds. He also took the 220 in 24 and 1-5, with Gable a half a stride behind. Probably the most outstanding contender of the meet was Davis, Frosh, from last year's Burlington track team. Winning four events— high hurdles, low hurdles, high jump and broad jump, to make himself high point man of the dual meet with 20 points, proved that he will be a valuable addition to the Normal team. Bright Fast Norm Bright, Soph, turned in very exceptional time in the 880 and 440. Although not running his favorite event, the mile, Bright made the half mile in 2:05, and the one lap race in 54 seconds.L In the field events, Sutton of the Frosh won the shot and discus with distances of 35 ft. 7 in. and 100 ft., respectively. The Tri-C club held its first meeting of the spring quarter on Wednesday, April 15. Plans for the spring quarter social activities were discussed and reports made upon the Candy Party to be given at the Y. W. C. A. sdmetime in the near future.

As in years before the morning of Campus Day will be devoted to work and in the afternoon games, relays, and sports of all kinds will be staged under the direction of Melvern Eagen.

It was decided that the contracts must be kept at all costs. Several members of the faculty have signified their intention of resignation and their positions will not be replaced. Mr. James A. Car-rell will return to Northwestern University to continue his studies and, while his present position in the Speech department will not be filled, a new adviser to the Northwest Viking will be employed. It was decided that the new adviser who is not yet named, will carry no other classes and devote all his time to journalism. Miss Winifred Spieseke, who has been a substitute teacher in the Social Science department during the past year will leave. Miss Ilah Hull, training school teacher of the third grade has resigned her position, and Miss Esther Stallman, reference librarian, has resigned to return to the Middle West where her home is. Possibly other changes will be made in the library staff later on for financial saving. Sundquist Will Return Miss Hilda Rosene of the Science department was granted a leave of absence for next year to continue her advanced study at the University of Texas. Miss Leona Sundquist will return next fall to resume her teaching in the Science department here. She has spent the past year teaching in Lincoln School of Columbia University, New York. Mr. Herbert E. Fowler, who is on leave now at New York University, was granted an extended leave for the coming year' to continue his work there. Fisher Re-elected President Fisher, whose term of office expired in September, 1931, was re-elected for another term of three years, resident Fisher came here in July, 1923, and will have completed eight years of service this summer. .

We may expect to see rather remarkable talent shown, in this recital, since only those who showed outstanding ability in the practices of last quarter make up the cast. The cast altogether includes fifteen, and the four leads are taken by Mary McDonald,, Pauline Larkin Edith Koski, and Wilma Neely. An attempt has been made to include in this presentation each of the various forms of the; dance, so the program is arranged in four groups: the first, the tap dance; the second, folk dances; third, solo interpretive; and fourth, a set of four group dances. The general program is as follows: 1—juba, Carolinas, Strawfoot, Sweet as Sugah, by Jane Polachek, Phyllis Roberts, and HeJenjMcTaggart. 2—Tarentella, by Grace PPPPP

That ought to be a warning for our twenty-one little reds. Comrade duck! -W.S.N.S.- Some of the school kids in Palo Alto are getting a break. They get to get out of school to go to the movies. The string attached is that they have to report back to their rooms as to their educational efficacy of what they saw. Seems to me they ought to suppress such things as Mickey Mouse matinees on Saturdays, but we reckon we'll never catch up to Modern Trends in Education. W.SN.S. The graduating class of '35 have sighed away for the last time their personal liberty for several stiff backed hours every spring day. Our professors in turn begin to hunt privately for angle-worms of knowledge advertised in the catalogue, to dole out like robins, to the tax payers' children, us. Gaping with astonishment, the freshmen are easy marks, but by the set of certain people's jaws when they finished student teaching it ain't no picnic in all cases. -W.S.N.S.- Soon Wilson Waylett or one of his liberalists confreres will herald the war scare in Europe as the last struggle of dying capitalism, the death rattle of a decayed economic system. There are two rattles, Waylett. One is the present European kind; the other comes in pink celluloid. Which is yours? W.S.N.S. Guess we wont have any more rain until Easier morning. W.S.N.S. When I went stumbling (not reeling) into the science offices last Tuesday P. M. (to be brief.) I gleaned, in' a general way, the following: Arcturus is in ascendency (it's a star), the violet green'swallows are back, the polywogs in the acguariums have hatched, classes with glasses to eye are out looking at birds, others are searching green ponds for reptiles for acquariums, also (and this isn't the fashion column) in a scientific sense white shoes have again appeared. To the scientist this means spring but maybe you. never took science.

List of Assemblies A complete list of the assemblies as arranged to date are as follows: Next Tuesday we will have the Bushell-Strange trio; the Friday assembly will be given over to the Women's league and the Men's club meetings. On Tuesday, April 16, the chorus of the Women's Music club will sing, and Friday 19 is student elections The third week we will have Theodore (Graham, lecturer, on Tuesday and Ralph Hokanson, pianist, on Friday. A former student, Preston Wright, will read a play on April 30; and Friday will bring Miss Nan Dydahl Wiik, soprano. Tuesday, May 7, of Control, members among other things, the plans for Campus day, election procedure, a Women's league fund of $30, and the formal installation of officers. All the members of' the student body will be transported to Normalstad, Lake Whatcom, immediately following the assembly at eight o'clock A. M. Campus day. Mon Orloff, general chairman for the day's activities, reported after the Board of Control meeting last Wednesday that suggestions made by Board members led to adoption of the plan. Additional new features of Campus day may include an open air dance on the tennis court in the evening and a fifteen-cent lunch. Busses Will Be Hired Busses or trucks will be hired by the school to carry students to the lakeside property. A work program organized by George Dack, school gardener, will keep every student busy until noon, when a lunch will be served from the cabin, a scant fifty feet from the lake. After the luncheon the tired workers will be returned to the school to be entertained in a general assembly which is scheduled to begin at one o'clock. The rest of the afternoon will be given over to games and sports. Lunch Plans Tentative The Board of Control has not yet sanctioned the idea of the fifteen-cent luncheon, but will discuss the project further in its next meeting. According to the plan suggested in the meeting, the Activities fund would, provide ten cents for every fifteen-cent luncheon ticket purchased. All-school splash hour has been changed from Tuesday evening to Thursday evening at the same hour in accordance with the wishes of many students as expressed in the meeting of. the Board of Control. A report on election procedure was read to the Board by Joe Hager. Interpretative Dances, Oriental And Modern, Featured In Assembly Strange lands and ancient times were presented by Miss Caroline Chew, Chinese dancer, in the opening spring assembly. on the Pacific coast and is a graduate of Mills College. With fine subtleness and grace, traditional melodies were interpreted. Picturesque costumes made the oriental atmosphere real and vivid.

The nominating convention will meet April 10, petitions being posted that day. The election will take place eight days later. While rumors are many, only one person has been definitely established as a candidate. He is Cliff Johnson, a blonde person from South Bend, Wash., who favors the present expansion of student recreational activities. Various politicians, when questioned, seem very reserved on the subject of the coming election but admit that the factions will probably be divided much the same as they were in the presidential campaign. The retiring members of the Board are Louis Shaffer and Maxine Id-dins. o Stoddard Is Installed As Neophyte Editor Hollis J.

The significance of this rating is "excellent". Papers entered in Hie contest were submitted last fall quarter, at which time Julius Dorn-blut Jr. edited the Viking. The grading chart with further information concerning the decision is expected next week. The Viking was also awarded* first class honor rating in 1930 when Ray Craft was editor, and again in 1931, under Roger Chapman. The Columbia Scholastic Press association, conducting the contest, is a nationwide school newspaper critical service.

Spring Is Here Board of Control Has Life Whatever your reaction was to the school election last quarter, you will have to concede the point that the present administration has been far reaching in its activities. The topic of more than usual importance to us is the work begun on Nornralstad. Work progressed quite rapidly last fall, with the property being cleared and improved by student employees. But even with these improvements the site was of little student value. It was so hard to reach the property without cars that only a small majority of students visited the place. Even when they did arrive at Normalstad they had little more than two alternatives for amusement. They might either swim in the spring and summer, or have an indoor party during the fall and winter months. Transportaton, the weak spot in the set-up for many years, was given the biggest boost four months ago when the idea of securing a truck or bus was suggested. The new board of control has been considering this idea seriously for the past month, and should be prepared before long to report on the results. / However, the board decided that even with this problem settled, the place would be made more attractive if a few more activities were available. Boating offered the best possibility, and a committee is now* planning for this recreation. It will be worthwhile if the administration continues working toward the possibilities of increasing the values of Normalstad. T* **• *r *Tr . Another important matter that is being discussed by the board is the by-laws to the constitution. These were made inadequate when the new constitution was adopted last year, but no action was taken to have them revised until this winter. Student elections have been subject to criticism for the past few years, but the new by-laws have the possibility of guaranteeing proper procedures. Still another valuable asset for the student association will be the symposium group. This will of course depend entirely upon whether students show enough interest to justify the idea. Not since 1931 has an opportunity been offered those interested in public speaking. The formation of a debate team has been rapidly losing favor in colleges, while the symposium group is gaining ground. This type of speaking came into much favor last quarter when a group of University of Washington students spoke in assembly. The Board thought so highly of the group that plans were formulated immediately to sponsor such an activity. •*• v •»• *fr The plan for regulation of requisitions appears to be the wisest plan-to conserve funds and keep departments within their budgets that has been suggested for some time Problems will perhaps come up which will take shrewd judgment on the part of Board members. .If these can be solved satisfactorily the school has something of much value as all departments may be regulated so strictly that no deficits should be found at the end of any quarter. v * * * Since the above items are only a few of the things accomplished or started by the present Board of Control we realize that they have taken their positions and responsibilities seriously. They have been working mainly toward the furthering of intra-school spirit and activities. They deservtf the support of the school in the activities which they are backing. By Elmer Lade "For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone. The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land." * * * The state of a young man's emotions during the tremulous months of spring has long occasioned much speculation among the poets. Some would have him writing sonnets to his lady while others, headed by the boisterous Kipling, would have him fretting with homesickness for foreign ports. The desire to travel is probably a natural result of sonnet writing. It is well known that under certain circumstances young men are apt to utter statements so far removed from their true convictions that extended journeys appear not only pleasurable, but necessary. * * * Somewhere below the equator lies Tahiti, beauty spot of the Pacific. There, so the travel book tells me, the climate is perfect, the natives handsome, and food so low in price that visiting white men can 'decay comfortably at a cost not exceeding one dollar a week. Think it over! * * * It is practically an unwritten law that all white men decay in the tropics. In fact, so many novels have been written on the subject that no conscientious American or Englishman would think of returning to his native land in good health and of sound mind. * * * I know a college instructor who was for many years distressed by the futility of trying to fire the souls of his pupils with a love of knowledge: Finally he decided to regard himself as being first of all a professional entertainer and, having thus justified his position, became content. Now this is a rattling good idea, and well worth developing. Most any classroom would be immeasure-ably brightened if the instructor were to interrupt the regular routine long enough to spring the latest radio gag, play the guitar and yodel, er even do a trapeze act. Well, spring has sprung! Oh yes it has, all stinging winds and ice-covered puddles to the contrary. And we are springing, too. Right out of bed to eight o'clock classes. Right home to burn the midnight oil over unsolvable problems and unreadable books. But thoughts of the vacation behind us and that one in the dim future console and sustain. Suits Are Popular New Nips in Spring Togs Favorite Notes Women are saluting a "suit sprang" and are watching with wide-eyed interest the array of' new nips and tucks which characterize the current outfits. First of these new notes is the nipped-in belted waist and well-fitted seamless shoulders with wide puckered collars, which stand high. Another characteristic worth noting is the multitude of col-lors in these spring suits. Plain dark or . bright jackets with skirts in tones of blue and gold, brown and tan, green and rust, rose and beige, or black and white plaids are popular. Tweeds, severely tailored and smartly finished, worn with bright blouses are increasingly popular. Seen In a Day Francis The First By Dorothy Goff Along with the coming of spring, robins, and new clothes, comes the third day of the quarter and the pitiful struggles of the faculty to decipher and pronounce the names of students in their classes. Gius is taken for "Juice" to mentin one of the worst, Goff becomes "Guff," and Donalda Grant is called Mr. When Dr. TJpshall pronounced Roberta Thygeson's name correctly the first time she practically fainted. / With so many new white shoes flitting up and down the corridors the men will have to be more careful where they step. Big feet that trample little white shoes are liable to get kicked in the shins. . .

A COLLEGE OF EDUCATION, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Many Prospects Respond To Spring Football Call Twenty-Five Players Report To Coach Lappenbusch For Football; Fundamentals Drilled Several New Men Answer Call For Spring Football; Show Possibilities Develops Passing Attack Six Lettermen Will Not Return For Football Season Twenty-five men reported for -, spring football when Coach Charles P. Lappenbusch issued a call for gridiron prospects, April 1. The practice will continue for another week. Teaching the new men how to block and especially developing a passing attack has taken most of Lappenbusch's time. He's also developing a punter to take the place of Captain Art Bagley, who will graduate in June. Tony Zambas, part time punter of last year's squad, will not be out because of track turnouts. Several Lettermen Missing Lettermen who will not be back are Odell, Davidson, Wheeler, Cof-field, Bagley, and Tomco. Several new men are out to fill their places, with more expected next fall. Several prospects are working this quarter but will report for the fall turnout. "There will be no scrimmaging until late next week as several men have old injuries which stiff scrimmages might hurt again," Lappenbusch ordered. Tarte, fullback, has a weak shoulder and is working out carefully. Walt Miller, halfback, is out with illness. Several new men are turning out and are showing up well, according to Lappenbusch. Jim Frender, who earned his freshman numerals at the University of Washington last season, is out for end. Elmo Tool-ley, also a freshman letterman, is out for center. A fullback possibility is Jim Davis who has played three years for Albany college. Willard McKenzie entered this quarter and reported for line duty. A Lynden man, Dick Kauffman, is expected out. Bud Vandergriend, basketball player, is trying for a guard position. A tentative line-up of the first string players includes Toolley at center; Johnson, TJllin, and Vandergriend at guard; Miller and Bill Frender, tackles; and Alpaugh, Jim Frender and Kvinsland, ends. Back-field players are McKenzie and Gagnon at quarterback; Guglomo, Franklin, and Boggess at halfback; and Tarte at fullback. Assembly Schedule For Spring Quarter Is Given (Continued from Page One) Campus day and that Friday night will be given to a piano recital, students of Edith R. Strange. Hoppe Reads Play Tuesday, May 14, Professor Vernon McKenzie, journalist, will address the students. Friday, Victor H. Hoppe will read the play, "Valley Forge" Gemma Paglieri, soprano, will sing in assembly Tuesday, May 21, and that Friday will again be Women's league and Men's club meetings. Quarter Closes Memorial Day assembly will be held May 28; Friday is open. Then we have the Ladies' Trio from Vancouver, B. C, on June 4, with that Friday also^open. The quarter will close with graduation functions the last week. District Tryouts Held at Baker Aspirants To Olympic Games In Several Slalom Races Last Week-end Claimed by many to be the best ski grounds in the Northwest, Heather Meadows in the Mt. Baker Forest Reserve, was the scene on March 30 and 31, of the first of the Olympic try-outs. Events of the two-day tourney included slalom races, exhibition jumps, the welcome extended to the King county visitors by Belling-hams ski queen, Miss Helen Turner, and the coronation of Miss Jeanette Sykes, Seattle's fair ruler of winter sports. Numerous students from Normal attended the meet, several in the capacity of employes of the lodge. Further try-outs will be held at o Softball Tournament Needs More Teams Plans for an intramural baseball tournament are now being formulated with two teams already entered. A meeting held this week failed to bring forth many prospective managers with teams. Sam Carver, intramural sports director, is anxious to get the tournament started and for several other teams to enter. To be a real competitive affair at least four or five teams should take part. Last year five teams participated in this softball tourney with the Bartons hall nine carrying off the honors. Frequent postponements because of rain dampened the interest. With the good weather now at hand a fast? tournament should result. Any person who desires to form a team should do so immediately and report to a manager's meeting to be held Tuesday afternoon at four o'clock in the PE office. A schedule will be drawn up as soon as a sufficient number of teams are entered. Three Lettermen Form Base For Cinder Material Holder, Zambas, Johnson Form Nucleas of Track Squad; Kenoyer Out With the first cinder contest but a month off, Coach Carver is facing the task of building a combination that can at least give the Loggers of CPS a reminder of last year's medicine, when the Norsemen fought to a one point victory. Carver has Don Holder, former state high jump champion, who took second in the high hurdles and broad jump at the tri-normal. Don also clips the hundred in a trifle under ten flat. He will be the main stay in the tally department of the Viking squad. Zambas Back Tony Zambas will be on deck also when points are needed, as he runs the high hurdles in low time. He should improve his distance on the discus enough to give the Vikings a first in that event. For the tri-normal, however, Ellensburg has two dark horses who should give the Tri-Normal record a tumble. Arne Johnsen will be running the low barriers to give Walters of Cheney for his money after last year's drubbing at the Tri-Normal. Walters is only a sopnomore, but has run the lows in 24.6. New Material Promising I n the unknown department are Donald Kenoyer, last year's inter-scholastic half mile champion, who should give the state record a terrific scare. Bill Taylor will run the mile and should go places if he gets in shape. Willard McKenzie throws the javelin and should get points in the high jump. Fred Guglomo throws the discuss and is a sprinter. Dan Gagnon has nice coordination and should develop into a quarter miler, possibly a pole vaulter. Clyde Radder throws the javelin, and should develop into a good man in this event. Harvey Bilew runs the two miles and should make a strong contender. Tinval Brinkman is back in school doing eaching and may take to the track to regain previous fame won on the Viking path. The balance of the new men are unknown as yet and it is hoped that some will develop into point winners. With the WAA By Joan Hoppe California, here we come!

Just as the golden sun came peeping over Sehome and each little morning-glory (and a pansy or two) raised its sleepy little head, heavy with glistening dewdrops, toward the east—exhale—these three, armed with bathing suits and tennis rackets boarded the train for the land of sunshine and cocoanuts.

Many promising candidates who were expected back have failed to return. A survey of the golf prospects shows Bob Lindsley as the only veteran in school. However Paul Vike, number four man on last year's squad, is expected to enroll, and Coach Sam Carver sees Vike, Lindsley, and Pat Jacobsen as the men to fight it out for the number one position. The other men expected out are Jerry Jacobsen, Randy Oberlate, and George Nolte, who alternated on the team two years ago. Despite the lack of experienced men on the squad Sam Carver is hopeful of working up a fairly strong team. Tennis Outlook Dark The tennis outlook is even darker, according to Coach Carver. Roger Mullen and Jack Joly are the only veterans b.ack. Bill Hussey, another letterman, was expected, but failed to return. Other prospects are Ladd Shangle, Mon Orloff, and Ralph Shenen-berger. Shangle's work has been impressive and he is expected to bolster the team's chances considerably. Carver also hopes for a good showing from Orloff. Golf and tennis matches are being arranged with the U of W frosh, CPS, and Pacific Lutheran college aggregations. Racketeers Signing Ladder for Tennis Coach Sam Carver has issued the call for tennis enthusiasts to sign the Intramural tennis bulletin. When all who are interested have signed, a tennis ladder will be drawn and matches will follow. After all the games have been played the men who rest in the first five rungs of the ladder will champion the Normal in all inter-school meets. The ten men who have already signed the list are: Roger Mullen, Jack Joly, Oscar Starlund, Don Richardson, Mon Orloff, Gordon Richardson, Stuart Fresk, Chuck Wilson, Fred Rosenwjater, and Ladd Shangle. Coach Carver expects this list to increase greatly within the next few days. The nets have all been repaired and the courts are in excellent condition for tennis. Matches will be played as long as the weather remains clear. The men who finish up in the first five places will have the honor of playing on the varsity tennis team. o Chaliapin To Appear In Musical Program Chaliapin the Great, basso, will appear in a program April 8 at 8:30 p. m. in Seattle. The concert will be held in the Civic auditorium. Chaliapin was born in Karzan, Russia. Singing has been his passion since childhood. He was engaged by the Russian Imperial Opera at the age of 20 He is often spoken of as "a one-man theater— he is everything". Miss Mildred Tremain attended the Ski tournament at Mount Baker Sunday.

Cries of this sort may ring through the halls at any time now. Finals in the recreational tournaments held in the Edens hall cafeteria are now being played. In fact the chess champion has already been found. Leonard Carroll has gained that title by defeating Pat Allan. Bob Stuart and Don Richardson should tangle any day how for the checkers honbrs. "The more numerous participants in the bridge tourney are on the third round with two rounds yet to be played. But interest is not going to be allowed to lag. The ping pong tour- - nament is to start next week. Players will be divided into two divisions, an A and a B. All players who consider themselves fairly expert are asked to sign up for the A games, leaving the B group for those who have played only since the installation of the tables at Edens hall. Each division will be separated into men's singles, women's singles, and mixed doubles. The signing is expected to be completed .this, week with playing beginning Monday. The challenge issued at the beginning of the program by Edward Arntzen, social science instructor, to the winner of the chess tournament, will probably be accepted by Carroll and a play held next week. Play on the ping pong tables has been made easier by the new dull green tops which do not reflect the light as the shiny black ones did. Enrollment Is Good Church List, Student Directory Being Prepared "Registration records for the spring quarter show a good attendance,' reports Miss Norma Bouck, secretary to Dean James E Bever. Although the total enrollment will not be known until next week, since students are still enrolling, only a slight variation in attendance between spring and winter quarters is expected Church preference lists and the student directory for spring quarter are now being compiled in the Dean of Women's office.

MORE• T»H O*U G* HTS! —By Elmer Lade And so it came to pass that no work was done, no one was injured, miraculously no one was drowned, and every one deemed Campus day a pretty sound idea. Whoever has to clean up Normalstad (lands, what a name and what a connotation!) will probably cry around a little, but that is neither here nor there. With such a preponderance of good will toward the holiday, ticket hawkers will undoubtedly infest the campus again next year. W.S.N.S. Suicidal manias have been known to sweep Japan, causing young men and women to leap into flaming craters in such numbers that guards were posted at all volcanoes. A similar craze seemed to grip students out at Normalstad (what a name!) where everybody wanted to overturn a canoe. Apparently the only thing that prevented a hundred per cent baptism of the student body was the shortage of canoes. Certainly conditions were favorable; the crafts were narrow-beamed, the water choppy, and not a policeman within miles. It was a big day, a day in which anyone could drown if he wanted to. W.S.N.S. Nor was the assembly too bad. Aylmer Bright, equipped with a sheet and a sickle to reprecent Father Time, but looking for all the world like Ruth about to glean the fields of Boaz, and a well-timed revival of the old Diogenes joke were enough to lift the show over any slow spots. W.S.N.S. r- The hearty applause that followed the orchestra and vocal numbers reminded me that while American folk songs (jazz to you) may be bad and banal, they do possess the virtue of brevity. Lengthy classics, in which we first hear the soft luting of farm fowls, followed by a G minor account of a maiden's emotions at early mass, and so on through the gamut of sounds and sensations are often a trifle on the tedious side. (In saying that I expect the support of all fellow lowbrows.) It is just barely possible that the masters were not altogether free from banality. W.S.N.S. Attention! On the feature page, set 18 ems so that none will possibly overlook it, is a letter-to-the-editor, expressing subtly, and in exciting language the opinions a few young scholars hold regarding the Northwest Viking and its staff. By all means read it and enjoy as we . did its boisterous, blood-thirsty humor. It goes to show what a college education can do for ambitious youngstes. W.S.N.S. (Excerpt from Hearst Editorial). No problem before the country is more important than that presented by the young man and woman who have left high school or college and are trying to find their way into business, industry, or their professions. Many young people have experienced disillusionment feeling of frustration. I n this unhappy state of mind they give ear to subversive teachings and to unpatriotic counsel piling up an enormous debt for these young people to shoulder. I t is time that the leaders of the nation and community gave a thought to the future and to the prospects of the boys and girls who, in a few years, will have charge of the government. o Skating Postponed Party Date Announced Next Friday "Because of the sophomore class rec hour this week, the W club skating party has been postponed until next Friday, May 17, at 8:00 at the State Street auditorium", announces d i e t TJUin, manager. All skaters and would-be skaters are invited. Ullin promises cheerful tinpan music during the evening. The 15 cent tickets are on sale at the Co-op and by W club members. :: • Board Decides To Discontinue Organized Rec Ping Pong Equipment T o Be Left At Edens Hall for Student Use Editor Will Be Selected Rolle Chosen Chairman of Picnic In Place of Johnson With springtime in the air the tide of enthusiasm has turned from the ping pong table to the tennis court. Marie DeGallier, general chairman of the Edens hall mixed recreation program, stated in a meeting of the Board of Control, Wednesday, May 8, that the attendance at the evening sessiones has dropped off noticeably since winter quarter. After serious consideration the board decided that at the end of May the program should be suspended indefinitely. The ping pong equipment will be left in Edens hall Dining room for the use of those who wish to play. The playing cards and chess equipment will be removed until a time when the mixed recreational program will again be put into effect. Editor To Be Chosen At the request of Gordon Milli-kan, president of the Associated Students, recommendations were made by the board members for the editorship of the Blue book, the official student handbook of information. The editor will be definitely decided upon at the next meeting of the board. By general acclaim the board moved to send a vote of thanks to Mon Orloff for his work as general chairman of Campus day. A unanimous agreement was made that this year's Campus day was one of the most enjoyable in the history of the school. It was reported that Cliff Johnson, newly elected representative on the board, was not available for general chairmanship of the all-school picnic. After considering a number of eligible persons the board appointed Mabel Rolle in Johnson's place. The all-school picnic is scheduled for Friday, May 24, at Rainbow beach on Lake Samish. Strange Will Present Normal Musicians in Recital Here May 17 A spring recital given by students of Miss Edith R. Strange will be one of the outstanding musical programs scheduled for this quarter. They will appear in concert next Friday, May 17. The program consists of solos and ensemble work which are representative of romantic and modern composers such as Schubert, Cyril Scott, Arensky, Trygve Torgussen, Boell-mann, Gounod, and D'Albert. The eight students who will appear on the program are all students of the Normal, namely: Helen Griffith, Christine Albers, Mary Rees Benson, Sue McMillan, Margaret Foster, Ruth Kirk, Edna Pearson, and Florence Ford. o——-— Art Department Shows Hand-Blocked Textiles An exhibit of hand-blocked textiles is being shown this week in the room by the art department. Most of the pieces shown are suitable for hangings and a few for dress material. The designs are cut on linoleum and stamped onto the various kinds of cloth with printer's ink. Of the fifty prints shown, three were made by Miss Dorothy Mcll-vain, art instructor, several by students of schools in which she formerly taught, and the remainder by students of the school. Is Huey Long Full of'Hooey' 'Yea and Nay' Say Local Political Prognosticators in Surveying Acts of Vociferous Senator from Louisiana From time to time this space will be used as a sort of airing ground for student opinions. This week various students were asked to discuss briefly that celebrated gentleman from Louisana, Huey Long. ROSE WORKS: I think he is a joke. He is an opportunist and I am surprised that anyone takes him seriously. OSCAR SVARLIEN: In my opinion, in the opinion of a not insignificant portion of the American population, Huey's Share-the-wealth program is not so closely associated with "hooey" as his name would suggest. MON ORLOFF: What have I got against Huey Long? I think he is plenty smart, and no one can deny that he is getting along in the world, which, after all, is what the most of us are trying to do. HARRY GOHEEN: I think he is of little consequence to any thoughtful American. His program is impossible and the man himself can have no real significance to anyone who views contemporary events logically. JULIUS DORNBLUT JR.: While I am not in favor of many things Huey Long has done, I do think he is far more intelligent than a great many New Dealers. EEMAR LARSON: . That Huey Long has ability is undeniable. Considering the machine he has built in Louisiana, he can't be laughed off. Hitler was the butt of many jokes in Germany—but it is different there today. BILL PIERRON: If I ever think that Huey Long will become president I shall depart for Mexico immediately. Art Department Displays Photos Portraits, Campus Scenes, and Industrial Studies Featured By Ruckmick By Hazel Jean Plympton .Camera enthusiasts, art students, nature lovers and their friends have been improving their "ways-of-see-ing" by continued visits to Herbert Ruckmick's exhibit of photographs on display in the Art department during the last week. A wide variety of subjects makes up this exhibit. Portraits, flower studies, landscapes, and industrial studies represent such widely separated localities as New York, Washington, D. C, and California, A generous number comes from Bellingham and our own campus. It is not the subject matter, however, which impresses the visitor, but rather the fascinating variety of light effects; the beautifully related tones of "The Washington Monument" and "The Pulp Mill"; the jeweled lighting in "George Washington Bridge"; the etching quality of "Riverside Church"; the brilliance of "The Mimulus" against its dark background; the contrast in texture in "The Dogwoods"; the halo of light in "Mother"; and the care in design in "The Group on the Porch of Edens Hall", and "The Bellingham Hotel'. Such an exhibit gives us all an inspiration to perfect our hobbies. If we can pursue them with the same zest for fun and skill as Mr. Ruckmick has done, we may hope for some measure of success. o Weythman Returns From PE Meeting Miss Ruth Weythman returned Sunday evening from the national convention of the Physical Education association at Pittsburg. The convention was to commemorate the fifth anniversary of the association, first organized by Dr. Gilbert Anderson, who was present at all of the meetings. Miss Weythman stated that she was particularly interested in the reports of national committees. One of the most interesting addresses was given by Dr. E. McCullen of Johns Hopkins university, on "Food Nutrition and Health". The 1936 convention will be held in St. Louis; 1937 in New York; and 1938 in San Francisco. Conference Will .

Inasmuch as the day was an innovation of commendable campus activities, Mon Orloff and his subcommittee chairmen should all be praised for their fine work. The first surprise of the day was the excellent turn-out for the morning assembly. But the enthusiasm did not drop here, for it was estimated that at least 425 students availed themselves of the opportunity to visit Normalstad. Yes, Phil Campbell had the transportation end of the date completely organized. The idea of going to Normalstad for the morning was so well carried out that it is highly probable that it will become a Campus day tradition. Anything that can acquaint such a large majority of students with that splendid college playground deserves support. Then Phyllis Greely received our sincere thanks for the noonday lunch, which was as filling as it was appetizing. Pat Allan and Stuart Fresk next deserved "three cheers" for arranging one of the most enjoyable student talent assembly programs of the year. It was a hit in more ways than one! The dance, with Oscar Starlund in charge, closed an extremely well-balanced day of fun and exercise. And to everyone else that helped keep the ball rolling, we say, "Thanks a lot for the day of pleasure". * * * * The only thing we missed last Tuesday was the chance of seeing the ability to take punishment which formerly has been displayed by the men from Barton's and Daniels' hall in their annual water fight. o In Days of Yore For the sake of an argument let's bring up the subject of Campus day, past and present. It seems that back in the good ol' days, Campus day meant that the students and faculty donned their overalls and straw hats, armed themselves with hoes, rakes, and shovels and went to it. Dandelions were eradicated, the lawn cut, and the running-track improved and the trails on the hill were cleared. In the afternoon there used to be a baseball game, faculty versus students, the women taking part as well as the men. Rumor has it that President C. H. Fisher was an able pitcher. At our recent Campus day, the main excitement took place in the canoes, or rather, out of the canoes and into the water. Eight students appeared as mermaids when canoes accidently overturned. In previous years, the day has been ended with a carnival at the Armory or a show at the American Let's Learn to Yodel For atmosphere—sun gleaming on pure white snow, icy winds blowing from the mountain glaciers, and all about the rare but pungent ozone of the Cascades (brrrr, are you cold?). For leader—none other than the grand old trail-blazer of Normal hikes, Dr. E. A. Bond. For companions—all those plucky souls who dare to face the elements in the climb up the hill. You've guessed it—tomorrow morning they start the long trek to Skyline ridge. with a filling lunch—they say raisins are good—in your battered old knapsack, a song in your heart, tra la, and away you'll go. Seven-thirty may seem awfully early for Saturday morning, so if your room mate fails you there's always the alarm clock. It is but a scant five miles from the hamlet of Glacier to the destination of all the hardy mountaineers who venture forth. Stragglers are guaranteed a push if they can't take theater or a dance. The dance this **• Reorientation A Review by Wilson Waylett 'Termanence and Change," by Kenneth Burke 1935. New York New Republic, Inc. 256pp. $1.00. In this small volume Burke has given, I believe, a contribution more worthy of permanence than any other philosophic work produced of late. • The book is divided into three sections, of which the first appeared in "The Plowshare" some time ago. In this portion, "On Interpretation," bur author attempts to get at the meanings behind meanings, the nature of an orientation, the basis of an interpretation. He draws from the works of, persons of as varied natures as Marx, Veblen, and I. A. Richards and makes the broadest possible application of Pavlov's experiments on the conditioned reflex. In rounding off this section, he considers the problem of social orientation and lists magic, religion, and science as being the three great rationalizations of history, each of which arose with and gave rise to a certain social organization. Certainly the language which Kenneth Burke utilizes to unfold this conception is worthy of note. Pellucid, mooth flowing, it gives one a deceptive opinion concerning the depth of the subject matter, until one finds oneself floundering. Like the poet, Burke uses subtle overtones; his simple definitions have tremendous implications. Burke feels that much or the instabiity of the modern word is due to the inadequacy of old rationalizations to deal with the contemporary situation and the confusion arising from conflicting orientations. This idea, which he elaborates in the second major portion of the work, "Perspective by Incongruity," accounts for the incongruous and impious (for him, impiety is that which breaks with tradition) attempts of such individuals as Nietzsche and D. H. Lawrence to establish new perspectives, new systems of values. But he sees the "Basis of Simplification," to which he devotes the last part of the book, to be rather a sort of synaesthesia of materialism, idealism, and dialectical materialism. This he terms "dialectical bio-logism," or "metabiology." Communism, he feels, embodies something of this viewpoint and offers the only solution to our difficulties. For "Communism is a cooperative rationalization or perspective which fulfills the requirements suggested by the poetic metaphor. It is fundamentally humanistic, as poetry is." By way of closing, he humbly admits the limits of his little survey: "We, in cities, rightly grow shrewd at appraising man-made institutions—but beyond these tiny concentration points of rhetoric and traffic, there lies the eternally unsolvable Enigma, the preposterous fact that both existence and nothingness are equally unthinkable." year proved very enjoyable. But what happened to the water fight betwen Bartons and Daniels? o Campus Keyhole Maybe GORDY RICHARDSON went stepping with the two fair damsels the eve after he was caught mooning with RUBY VICTOR on Sehome, to cover his embarass-ment. Were his ears red? There have been rumors of the formation of an excedingly exclusive club on the campus, and the name whispered about is "Tippy Canoe". Spooks are abroad again in the land— TIIELMA COWEN and ANNA PADDEN—and friends—were seen sneaking out of the graveyard on Campus day—cameras in hand. Well you guess awhile. Speaking of canoes we were surprised not to see CHET ULLIN rolling one over. BOB LINDSLEY is still scratching his head over the dance tickets a whole bevy . of campus beauties handed him Tuesday night. CAROL ALLEN — conscientious Carol — helped out by washing her fork in the lake after lunch. Now if everybody had followed her shining example . Keep your eyes on the HAZEL JACROSON and ART BAG-LEY duo—she's got a fetchin' grin. The latest indoor sport indulged in by any number of co-eds is comparing PAT ALLAN'S love letters and finding them disgustingly similar. Well I suppose there won't be any news at all after the big day—it all has happened. C'est fini.

The Vikings stand an equal chance of bringing home six blue ribbons out of a possible fifteen firsts from t h e pups. Frosh Have Stars Coach Hec Edmundson has on his yearling squad this year two of the most promising young athletes in the country, Bill Vanderway and Art Morgan. Vandermay from Lynden high school set a state high jump record, 6 feet 5 inches. Morgan, a Roosevelt high school product from Seattle, has run the high hurdles in 15.4, the lows in 24.5, and the hundred yard dash close to 10 flat. Experts rate him a successor to Steve Anderson. His team mate, Marshall Stuffield, is almost his equal and should be good for seconds in both hurdles. Taylor and Kenoyer Favored Bill Taylor will give his competitor trouble in the. mile and should win if comparative times mean anything. Tony Zambas and Coke Guglomo should both tally in the discus if they duplicate their practice throws. In the 880 Kenoyer is due to show some of last year's form and break through with a win, having turned in better ttime than his Husky opponent, Stigar. I n the century, Arne Johnsen will have to run almost 10 flat time to beat Art Morgan who is a heavy favorite to trim him in the low hurdles. Holder Has Plenty Competition Don Holder will have his hands full against Vandermay in the high jump, Morgan and Stuffield in the hurdles, but should give Anderson a ragged run for a first in the board jump. Brinky is in for a tough afternoon in the two mile, but if he runs the eights laps like he did against CPS, he will be hard to beat. Vikings Have Weaknesses The Vikings are exceptionally weak in the pole vault- and shot, and can hardly expect to place in these events. Willard. McKenzie should collect in the javelin. Ellis Austin, who came through with a third in the 440 at Tacoma Saturday, should place again. Guglomo and Hudson both have a good chance of placing in the 220 if they run. The strength of the Husky relay team is unknown except that they were beaten by CPS, as was the Viking quartet.

Normal scored ten of its runs in the first two innings, driving pitchers Frank and Greenwalt from the Redskins' mound. Severins, Alpaugh, Miller, and Stutz lead the Viking batters, while Fowler, Anderson, and Senuty were leading hitters for Whatcom. The Campus day game was a ragged affair with both teams contributing many errors. Tooley and Dombros-ki were the chuckers for Normal, with McKenzie and Hammond catching. The fielding department of the Normal squad was very good but the hitting was a little weak. Earl Jewell, physical education instructor at Whatcom, umpired the entire game. Looking It Oyer By George Lovos CPS certainly made last week-end a disastrous one for the Viking sports world. A clean sweep of a four game baseball series, a track victory by a 35 point margin, and a win for their golf team should be a tasty enough morsel for any school to wish to guzzle at one time. * * * * However, there were some bright spots in the showing of the track team at Tacoma last Saturday, when they came out 18 points ahead of Ellensburg to take second place. Holder looked like a sure point-getter, taking a first in both the high hurdles and broad jump, and a tie for second in the high jump. Taylor turned in a fast mile to take first there, while Johnson in the low hurdles and Brinkman in the two mile added 10 more points. * * * * With these men continuing to improve, and several others like Kenoyer, Sargent, McKenzie, Zambas, Austin, and Hudson always good for some points, the squad stands a very good chance of taking the tri-Normal meet at Ellensburg. Kenoyer should take a .first in the 880 there, and if Austin can keep from getting boxed in again he may threaten in the 440. * * * * The uncertainty as to positions on the tennis five, even this late in the season, is giving Coach Sam Carver a good hustling squad this year. With Orloff, Joly, Starlund, and Mullen continually scrapping for runner up positions to Snaggle's coveted number one post good heads up tennis results. Wickstrom in number 6 is still right on their heels, threatening, too. However, the boys were rather silent about their mix with the U. W. Frosh last Wednesday. * * * * The golf team Helped take the sting out of all those defeats when they drubbed the U. W. five, Campus day. The win registered by the baseball nine was noticed too, of course.

Oscar Starlund was the only local man to win his match, beating Sahen 2-6, 6-3, 6-3. The unf amiiarity of the local team with playing on asphalt courts hampered their style somewhat. This type of court is much slower than cement and therefore players have to change their tactics accordingly. In the opener, Ladd Shangle lost in straight sets to Crapo, 0-6, 4-6. Johnstone defeated Mon Orloff 6-2, 6-2, while Joly was hacked by Murphy 1-6, 1-6. Wickstrom, substituting for Mullen, forced Gray to three sets before losing. In the doubles play both the Starlund-Shangle, Joly-Orloff combinations lost their matches.

The camp craft class is now making plans for an excursion which is to take place June 1, and will be a three day trip. The girls are making menus and learning songs in preparation for the trip. The archery class has finally found a suitable place for it targets. They have been placed at the end of the track where observers and passers by are safe from flying arrows. The sports coaching class, which has been under the direction of Miss Ruth Weythman, is going to teach baseball to the physical education classes for a short time. o THHURSDAYS RESULT Vikings 5 ^— U.B.C. 9%— Lindsley 0 Berry 3 Vike 0 Charleton 3 P.

I realize that you've put a great deal of thought and time on it, but this matter is too important to be overlooked. Upon perusing this document, I find no mention of how many sets of tennis it is legal to play while fifty people are waiting to use the court. As a live, ever-present problem in American life, I feel that this is worthy of your serious consideration, and I am sure you will feel likewise. I would be much obliged if you would remedy the matter as soon as possible, as I am one of the fifty. Sincerely yours, Ellsworth Jacobs Moody Tilden. p.

A view of Mount Baker at sunrise, a dip in a mountain lake, or a cruise on the "bay's blue waters" are only a few of the variety of experiences awaiting summer school students. In preparation for the big Mount Baker climb, a number of shorter trips have been scheduled. Among these will be a series of sight-seeing tours to near-by points of interest. Dead Men's point, Chucka-nut mountain, the Bellingham. Coal mine, Normalstad, and Toad Lake are to be included in these evening excursions. Beauty Spot To Be Visted •All day trips are being planned for four Saturdays, with Church mountain, Victoria, Skyline ridge, and Twin Lakes pass the places to be visited. Longer trips to other beauty spots of the Northwest are on the program for week-ends. The Hannegan pass trip will inlude climbing Goat and Ruth mountains and the Lake Ann excursion will take the hikers to the foot of Mount Shuksan. The climax of the season comes with the three day Mount Baker trip, July 19, 20, 21. Before being permitted to go on this trip a student must take three Tuesday and two Saturday hikes and will be required to have a thorough medical examination.

Her companion delegate, Connie In-gerson, the present executive, added that these sectional meetings compensate for the national conventions at which smaller colleges cannot be represented. "Revitalizing Women's Organizations" was the theme followed by the delegates, who represented schools in Washington, Oregon, Montana, and Idaho. In discussing college problems, it was discovered that the Washington State Normal school at Bellingham had fewer difficulties to meet than any other school, represented. Talks were given on various phases of educational problems, a report was given on the national convention held recently at Bloomington, Indiana, and the delegates were entertained at dinners, military reviews, and athletic events. The convention ended with a. grand ball Saturday evening.

The presentation will be made at the First Christian church this evening at 8:15 o'clock, under the aus- - pices of the Bellingham State Normal and the Women's Music club. Sing in Production In the spring of 1930 "Green Pastures", by Marc Connelly with music by the Hall Johnson choir was produced in New-York and became one of the greatest theatrical successes in years. This success was deemed by many in a large degree due to the singing produced by the chorus. The Pulitzer prize was unanimously awarded the production by the judges who stated they "had no second choice". Termed "The Real Thing" In New York this small choir received an immediate and sensational success and critics hailed them as giving for the first time in a generation the true negro music. In Boston, Mr. H. T. Parker in the Transcript, described them as "The Real Thing". He also stated "Quick and hearty to piece" after piece is the white folks' response." "Inimitable" among similar groups "of negro singers . . . . At the Stadium for three successive summers immense gatherings have greeted its appearances" is what Edward Cush-ing of the Brooklyn Daily Eagle writes. The Evening Journal of Rochester, N. Y., says "Here was singing of real power, and it was done as we have always imagined the negroes sang at their own camp meetings." Has Sixteen Members The choir is composed of genuine down-south negroes and is led by a conductor born and brought up in the center of Georgia. There his grandmother, a former slave, taught him to sing the melodies of her childhood, which he in turn has taught his chorus and are by them presented in concert."

The baritone's heavier numbers will include "Der .Wanderer," by Shu-bert; "O Lubliche Wanger," by Brahms, and "Vision Fugitive," from the opera "Heriade," by Massenet. o ADVISERS DISCUSS CLUBS AT DINNER A dinner was held in the dining room of Edens Hall on Monday evening, Nov. 28, for the 16 club advisers of the school. The big problem for the evening's discussion was how to help club members to help themselves. Problems and questions brought up by the Inter-club council and the Board of Control were discussed. The following faculty members are club advisers of the school: Emma Erickson, Vanadis Bragi; Clare Stroud, Tri-C club; Nora Cummins, International Relations; Edward J. Arntzen, Economics; Pelagius Williams, Social Science club; Victor H. Hoppe, Lillian George, and Charlotte Richardson, Drama; Mildred Jewell, Thelma Short, and Margery Horton, Women's Athletic association; Sam E. Carver, "W" club; MilT dred Moffatt and Thelma Short, Al-kisiah; H. E. Fowler, Thespian; Ruth Piatt and Mildred Johnson, Women's League; W. J. Marquis, Men's club; M. Belle Sperry and May Mead, Y. W. C. A.; Emma Erickson and E. A. Arntzen, Sholarship society; Beatrice Doty and Margery Horton, Valkyrie; May Lovegren, Blue Triangle; A. E. Bond, Board of Control. Everyone should, the very next time they pass* the Collins museum near the Viking office, stop to inspect its latest addition, a Filipino bolo knife. This knife has been lately presented by Mr. J. J. Donovan, who, in a letter to President C. H.4 Fisher, stated that he secured it three years ago at a point eighty miles inland from Manila. The bolo is about a foot long, with a straight, rather slender, menacing blade. It plainly has a "used" appearance and there is even one notch carved, in the handle! lis is Normal Broadcasts Twice Weekly ToPresentPlay "Storm Country" Tonight from 8 to 8:30 the local broadcasting station, K-V-O-S, will resound to weird wild shreiks and groans; whistling winds and jangling telephone bells/as a group of students put on the air that super mystery drama, "Storm Country."

Incidentally, it was a Filipino bolo with which the "Filipino maniac" killer did all his dirty work in Seattle last week. o — Laugh Provoking Play Presented The. one-act play "Here Comes the Bride", was acted in this morning's assembly by members of Mr. Hoppe's literary interpretation class. "Here Comes the Bride" is broadest comedy of modern times, its setting the home of society's elite. The groom's missing collar button is the hinge on which a fast-moving plot swings and swirls, occasioning tears for the lovely bride, and near-prostration to the sensitive prospective husband. With mother and the best man both determined to see the thing through, what threatens to end in a mutual desertion of the altar by the love-birds closes with the time-honored strains or Menaeissonn. The parts of the bride and groom were ably handled by Edith Swarth and John Dempster. Vernon Lea-tha won his share of the laughs as the officious best man. Other members of the satisfactory cast were: the bride's aunt, Louise Schulz; the groom's mother, Elsie O'Donnell; Ted, a friend, .Clarence Locke; the bride's father, Leslie WolfeTy. Wahl's Millinery Shop lent the bridal" veil and wreath used in the presentation. . o Sweaters Earned By Football Men SCHOLASTIC TROPHY 1931FROSH ORIGIN A tradition inaugurated in 1931 nvas the Freshman Scholastic cup,. upon which is engraved the name of the frosh attaining the highest scholastic' record during the year.'

H EAR AND SEE THE ALL JOHNSON CHOIR - "Cynicism is the cold, (ub _ And bath towel of the emotions And absolutely necessary To life in cases,of Advanced, sensibility." I t is one of the extreme misfortunes of our existence that one cannot be delicately sensitive or sympathetic without suffering the jibes and derision and mockery of one's more rugged, less impressionable fellow men. There are no natural cynics. It is a condition as artificial, and quite as effective, though in the opposite direction, as a "lifted" face. - The cynic, because he is so inclined to believe and to trust, has woven that atmosphere about himself to shield his innocence from further hurt. He has believed— and has been bilked by more practical-minded associates. Lacking a balanced understanding of human motives, handicapped by an over-gullible heart, he finds himself victimized on every hand. What can he'do but don an air of misbelief and weld an armor of cynicism to keep from being duped? A cold tub checks his .sympathetic urges. A cold tub dampens his emotional enthusiasm—and he is safe. Safe? Perhaps. But horribly cramped. Half dead already from the limitations, the sublimations, the constant stifling of the fires that would have allowed him to fulfill his destiny. Afraid to- live and take the consequences; afraid to live and take what comes. He plays the game safely and defensively—and loses the meaning of life. Outside the power of imagination, those with the greatest understanding are those with the greatest scars, for he who has suffered much is compassionate. Without shadows we hold no value for the sun, and so we say, "Only when we suffer do we live." • Cold is the cynic in his selfishness. He is afraid.

The inaugural piece was Verdi's "SIMONE BOCCANEGRA" with Lawrence Tib-bett singing the title role. A special Thanksgiving day matinee featured Lily Pons and Giovanni Martinelli in "LAKME." The Metropolitan Opera Company may be heard each Saturday afternoon at 1 o'clock over the network of tthe National Broadcasting Company. "THE DARK HOURS", a passion play by Don Marquis, and staged by his wife, recently made its debut in New York. The play has been written for seven years, but after all these years it finally went into production. The play is composed of live scenes which are set in the vicinity of Gethsemahe. It was written with the idea that the Christus would not appear during the play, but would be present as a spirit. The producer, however, thinking that the idea was a bit too mid- Victorian, wrote in some speeches and has the character appear as a weakling. Critics felt that the play should be presented as written and leave the character unsullied to the pious imagination of the audience. EVA LE CALLIENNE and her Civic Repertory Company are playing Eleanor Hinckley's new play, "DEAR JANE." Playwrights seem to have a mania, at present, to write about famous people of literature. "ALISON'S HOUSE:' "THE BARRETTS OF WIMPOLE STREET," 'ELIZABETH THE QUEEN," and now the reincarnation of Jane Austen in "DEAR JANE". Imagine if you can, anything exciting about the pastoral life of poor drab, provincial, gentlewomanly Jane Austen. True it is, perhaps novel to some who are in the declining past generation, to again witness a simple gentlewoman being pursued by a love-sick fat-head. But ask the present generation with its new thought and moral code—the answer is, "WHO GIVES A D-N!"

Wells a Delegate for Luther Club CAMPUS GL^^m By FLORENCE A new "colyum" in which We shall attempt to present for your approval quite the choicest bits from the contemporary mode. 'Ami that an elegant introduction? Even if you're down to brass tacks financially, don't let it take all the fun outa life. Plaids give the Scotch flavor to the latest duds. Now, seriously, to be a little helpful in the- eternal feminine problem. This is a season of simple but oh, so subtle, frocks. They often have "collarbone" necklines, and that is an important item—the necklines, I mean. Which reminds me of sleeves —we certainly have .a revival of sleeves. We have gay ninety sleeves and Victorian sleeves, medieval sleeves and no sleeves—just as we have Garbo bobs and Crawford shoulders, Shearer sophistication, and Gaynor naivete. Sweaters have lots of new tricks this year—they fit in at the waist, like the proverbial bell-hop jacket, they button like vests, they close up high at the throa"; some of them fasten with clips by Schiaparelli, and many have scarf collars. Now here's a secret. You know the ever popular Brooks sweaters (made to button in front) may be turned around and buttoned down the back. And, you may be sure-this is from a good authority, if you should question. As for hats—tip them rakishly forward, over one eye. Even the jauntiest beret thus assumes the piquancy of the moment. But to go back to school. We think of sweaters. They used to be just sweaters. Now they are Jersey blouses and crocheted vests. They look hand knit, or maybe they are, if you have been plying the now fashionable needles. We may be gamines on the campus, but "pour le soir" the ladies win. Evening colors are "whatever HE likes"; and "Sunday night supper" or the new "don't dress" frocks, the color of a zinnia bed or an autumn forest, hold highest honors for the casual evening. Series of Sermons Will be Presented A series of sermons on the subject of Home Building by the Rev. Earl Hanson Fife will be featured at the First Christian church for the.next few.weeks. These lectures are of special interest to young people and a special invitation is extended to Normal students. The church is located at the corner of A and Girard streets.

Marian Wells was elected corre sponding secretary for the coming year at the Pacific Northwest regional convention of the Lutheran Students Association of America which was held at Portland, November 25-27. There were representatives from eight universities and colleges in Washington, Oregon and Idaho. Miss Wells was the delegate from the recently organized Luther club at the Normal school. o Famous Writer Recognized Here November 29 marks the hundredth birthday anniversary of Louisa May , Alcott. She was the first American writer of children's literature to win recognition in Europe. Early Life Louisa Alcott was born November 29, 1832 in Germantown, Pennsylvania, the daughter of Amos Bron-son Alcott. Louisa lived in German-town until her father's school proved unsuccessful, and in 1840 the Al- .cotts moved to Concord, Mass. Mr. Alcott, with tne aid of others, established an Ideal Social colony on a farm in a town of Harvard, near Concord, which they called Fruitlands. This experiment was an utter failure. Mr. Alcott in 1845 purchased a small place known as Hillside on the road to Lexington, about a mile from the home of Ralph Waldo Emerson. Writes Poetry Very Young At the age of fifteen Louisa entered her romantic period, when she fell to writing poetry. The seven years following Louisa's fifteen-the birthday may be called her apprenticeship in life, because she tried various paths. She had just published her first book, called Flower Fables when the Civil War broke out. She gave her services.as a nurse, but she became ill and was forced to discontinue. She then made an unsucessful attempt to conduct a kindergarten in 1862. After her attempt as an educator she put all her time to writing, and at the age of thirty-six she was famous. Although her health was poor, due to hard work early in life, she did not stop writing until her death, which came quietly on March 6, 1888. She was laid to rest in the beautiful cemetery of Sleepy Hollow at Concord. Her best loved books are "Little Men" and "Little Women." • _ _ o ^ — Helen Branchflower enjoyed a pleasant visit with her parents in Mount Vernon during Thanksgiving.

Competition Strong1 : The competition that the Vikings wil face this year is of extraordinary strength. The tri-normal teams are exceptionally so. Cheney is reported to have a fast outfit, while Ellens-burg, with two full teams of letter-men, is out to repeat their wonderful success of last year. The material that Carver and Gunn are trying to develop is none too promising, according to sideline basketball enthusiasts. However, new prospects are bound to appear during the turnouts that will brighten the Viking outlook. The men comprising the first squad up to the present time are: Denton, Zoet, Campbell, Sorensen, Harris, Robinson, Nolte, Miles and Malmquist. ••—: o RELICS TAKE FAST GAME FROM THUGS Overtime Period Necessary to Decide Winning Team Preparations are rapidly being made for the Chistmas hike to be held by W.

The Junior Varsity, under Assistant Coach Pop Gunn, swung into high gear last Tuesday night by walloping the American Shoe company 38-29. What the Varsity squad will look like is a question. Coach Carver has always been handicapped by inadequate gym facilities but this year more than ever the material is decidedly of the poorest variety. So, just a word to these Drugstore Cqaches, Spare the coaches unjust criticism and get in and pull for the squad, whether they're in first place or at the bottom of the heap. Rumor has it that Leo Nickelson, head man at Ellensburg, is being considered very strongly for a coaching position in Montana... Well, what they gain we lose, even though he is one of our arch enemies in this little athletic world of ours. It's doubtful with one exception if there is a better basketball coach in these parts than Nickelson. Of course he can't come up to Hec Edmundson of the University, but you will have to go a long way to find his equal around this little Evergreen state. So, if you do leave us, Mr. Nickelson, it is with regret that we see you go, and rest assured that we will always be pulling for you—tooth and toe-nail. Nick Bond came into his own this week by bagging 19 points for the Night Raiders. Just a tip, Nick. When your bunch of Night Hawks tangle with the Relics of Rock, its just going to be too bad. I've promised them a week's trip this vacation with the Smith Building thrown in for good measure, if they come through up to vacation time with a clean slate. So, please Nick, go easy with my proteges because I've got something in common with Southwest Washington and I sure want ot make the jaunt. What a Thanksgiving battle the Huskies put on for the unemployed against U. S. C. Funny how these Northwest teams play on Turkey Day. If memory serves me right that is the second time in history that the University has lost a Thanksgiving day battle. And what a game Wash-ington State put on. With about 20 seconds to go, Eubank, a fourth string fullback, kicked the field goal that brought home the bacon. Glen Rockey's Relics took a fast intramural game from the Co-op Thugs in the opener of the 1932-33 season Monday night. The game was very close through the thirty minutes of playing and ended in a tie. As the game ended the score book showed the Co-ops to have a one-point margin, but on a recount the score was tied at 18-all. The Relics hit their stride in the overtime period to roll in eight points in ,the three minutes remaining to play. Clark scored two long throws, and one each by Campbell and VanOver completed the scoring in this period. Due to the close calling by Coach Carver, the referee, many fouls were registered. Bill Malmquist, the star center of the Co-op aggregation, was the first victim to leave the game by this route. Stoddard and Clark, for ftie Relics, and Zwaschka and Cockerill, for the Co-op, led in the scoring. Co-ops, 19 Relics, 27 Harris 3 P Van Over 3 Cockerill 6 F.

The free throw contest conducted by Sam Carver started this week MW Viking Manor trounced the Bachelors Club 28-15, Monday afternoon in the men's gym. The rangy Manor sharp shooters piled up an early lead and held it throughout the game. John Gable scored 14 points for the Manor, while Bushby arid Smith made five apiece for the Bachelors. ' In the second game Rockey's Relics smeared Mulllns Angels in a hard fought game 34-21. The Angels led at half time ll-7, but were over-powered in the second half by scuddy shooting of Stoddard who sank four baskets in succession to place his team on top. Hollowell, flashy Angel guard, took high scoring honors with 12. Stoddard led the Relics' attack with 10 markers. Summary: » Viking Manor, 28 Bachelor, 15 Keane5 F. Minnihanl Lewis 4 .F.........

What a game this week-end down South when the Washington Huskies meets the Bruins of U. C. L. A. Boys, that's bound to be a dog and bear battle. v And C. P. S. takes it on the chin, down at Portland, Thanksgiving day. Columbia University pulled the miracle and slapped C. P. S. one right on the chin and it cost Sandbergs' team 6 points, just the margin of victory. Too bad; the Loggers possessed a fine season's record but the Notre Dame style of football was their Waterloo. Just to prove that Baseball is still smoldering comes an announcement from Oakland that Carl Uamlock has been released from the managing^ end of the Oakland ball club. It will be interesting to see who takes the Veteran Uamloclis place. He was a firm believer in the development of young stars just out of prep schools and colleges. Oakland always had a helping hand for any youngster who even showed the slightest amount of promise. Perhaps they will run with the same policy. It's hoped so, anyway.

Dickensonia Hallowe'en Assemblies \ By Pat Allan. l | l l " • • ii ii •• in n •• n. m— An editorial in the University of Washington Daily of Friday, Oct. 31, leaves us under the impression that the University is drawn into politics whether it desires to be so or not, and on these grounds has something quite definite to say about the candidates in the coming election. Evidently the University is such a large institution that it can well be a n egg for which to fight, while t h e ' poor teachers and those who are training to be teachers must struggle into politics all by themselves. W.S.N.S, And are the teachers making a bid for recognition by the politicians! Half the newspapers in the state print cartoons showing the blind teacher • leading the innocent public to the "Bottomless Pit" and t he other half of the organs illustrate the. "Noble educator," with her torch and pen, refusing to let sordid "Business" leave the innocent child in ignorance. - -——W.N.S.N. Headlines taken from the Washington State Evergreen: "Montana Grizzlies Rated. Under-Dog, Says Dope Sheet." Two columns to t he right the football game was listed as- the big feature of the State College "Dad's Day." It seems that the wise committee for "Dad's Day" did^not neglect to pick a sure win for the college when they chose the date. W.S.N.S. I don't want to change the subject or anything, but the other day I happened to see a calling card on the sidewalk. Being human after a fashion, therefore more curious than is good for me, I picked it up to read the name. Shades of Dickens! "Mrs. Quincy Adonis Hegley-Fitchetbottom . . . !" ' W.S.N.S. Let's all bend our heads in silent prayer at 7:30 tonight for the football team in faraway Tacoma. "They're going to win! ——W.S.N.S.— How much more pleasant would the 11 o'clock hours on Tuesday arid Friday be if all the assemblies were interesting enough to the students to call forth the enthusiasm and approval that the Utica Jubilee singers did last Tuesday. An assembly program should be the highest talent possible which would appeal to a large majority of^ the students. W.S.N.S.- - A bunch of t h e boys blocked the "Royal Road to Romance" on All Hallow's EVe, imprisoning several Mppy pairs on the stony sides of Sehome. - That was the one good trick of t he evening, the one trick to be commended for its good taste and excellence of execution. (I can think of a ,lot of other excellent executions,- too). Hit of Summer Quarter Will Be Produced by . Drama Club with Practically Original Cast. . ' lt; MR, HOPPE WELL CARRY LEAD With next week's presentation of "Alison's House" another chapter will be written in the history of dramatics in this school. It marks the first time that the Drama club has ever seen fit to, produce the same play two successive quarters. The play will be given one night only this quarter. Thursday, Nov. 10, is the date set, Nov. 11 having been cancelled due to Armistice diy recess. The club's in-- terpretation of this Pulitzer p r i z e - winner during the summer quart e r was heralded as one of the most successful pieces of work ever turned out here. Because MR. HOPPE so few of the students in attendance now saw the show this summer it was considered altogether fitting that it be presented again by (with three exceptions) the same cast who so adroitly personified the characters of Susan Glaspell's gripping sketch in the previous production. "Alison's House" brings Mr. Hoppe to the Normal's stage again in his first characterization since "The Pigeon" in the summer of 1930. In "Alison's House" he will appear in the part of Father Stanhope, a man whose very life is bound to family sentiment and pride. The story centers around the family of Alison Stanhope, revered poetess of t h e nineteenth century, and how her vivid personality, eighteen years after her d e a t h , strangely shapes Vernon Leatha' their lives. The cast is as follows: Father Stanhope, Alison's brother, Mr. Hoppe; Elsa, Stanhope's daughr ter, Dorothy Fiala; Eben, Stanhope's i |M us—na—m Fiala and Wrigfit Plajr Lead Roles * . — i ill-—tin—»I|I DOROTHY FIALA (Continued on Page Two) Play to be Read I n next Tuesday's assembly, Mrs. Sarah Traiix Albert, of Seattle, will read one of, Sherwood Anderson's plays entitled "Elizabeth the Queen" This play is a historic one, based on the reign of Queen Elizabeth. Mrs. Albert, under the name of Sarah Truax made herself well known while she. was on the stage, and while in t h a t career she displayed great acting ability. She has given up the stage now and has become prominent in reading plays throughout this state. Freshman to Build Largest Bonfire In History of Normal Homecoming In a n effort to arouse interest among the frosh men concerning the, annual ^homecoming, two articles have: been submitted t o t he Viking inratieffort to stimulate this feeling. ^ ..':Vv/^7; "The upper classes of thev school :^udge us by our-vwc(x^.in''pur';:.bon-. fire at Homecoming, which Is our V*3 t o cohstrro day: j'The alumni will ^ ^ h e r e e ^ e r to J isee what success we have had in pur andCsupport ' t h e hlstoty of t h e school'^--Mickey The big event in tne eyes of t he freshmen during homecoming week is the bonfire that,, according, to tradition, is built and guarded for days before the big blaze.

Mickey Clarke will have charge of the bonfire on Waldo field on Friday night, November 18. Fuel for the affair is showing up on various parts of the campus. Call it parade or serpentine, Art Pearson and Vernon Leatha ' will make it the talk of the twon. , Alumni Luncheon Saturday Doris McElmon and Lew Lovegren are planning the alumni luncheon. This will be held Saturday noon, November 19 at Edens Hall. Both alumni and students will attednthis affair. " Cheney Team Strong The Ellensberg Wildcats were held to a tie by the Cheney Savages last week. When the whistle blows Saturday afternoon, November 19, the Savages will probably outweight the locals twenty pounds to a man. A determined Viking team is necessary to hold back the invaders from the other side of the Cascades. The game is scheduled to start at 2:15 p. m. Tickets for the game will be on sale at school and downtown for those who do not have student activity tickets. Students will be admitted for 25 cents and adult tickets are 50 cents each. Homecoming Hop a t Armory The homecoming hop will be held at the Armory Saturday night at 8:30 p. m. Jack Burn's orchestra will play. This affair is being handled by John Lensrud and J im Campbell. All organized houses will be eligible for the decoration contest. Ken Elder announces that a banner will be first prize and a second prize to be announced later. ; -r O — ' DRAMA OFFERED Students Present One-Act Play for Today's Assembly •M^M^i0^:- I n this mornings Assembly* the literary interpretation class, under the direction of Mr. Hoppe, entertained with a play / entitled' ^'The ^liant'febyGeorgeMiddleton, This play has been one of t h e most popu- ] ^ play^Yever - presented by small th^eat^^uSi"conges/ Besides hav- ;-^|6ee^;jglVen many.

This is a part of the series of straw elections held in nearly fifty colleges throughout the United States. Favor for Hoover is shown from Washington State, University of Washington, University of Southern California and University of California. The University of Texas, oh the other hand, shows a large majority for Roosevelt as do" the Universities of Texas and South Carolina. Columbia and New York universities indicate a strong preference for Norman Thomas. On the total number of votes cast the division is as follows: Hoover, 35,670; Roosevelt, 21,- 526; Thomas, 12,235; Foster, 715. A straw vote, while not carrying much weight, should be taken seriously enough to show the political inclination of the student body . Appreciation Shown Normal Broadcast Over Station KVOS Although few Normal school students listened in on the radio program released over KVOS last Friday night, the response concerning it from the town was very satisfactory. A definite time, 9:30-10:00 p. m., every Friday, has been allotted for the school broadcast. The next offering will be under the auspices of Mr. Harold B. Smith, head of t he Music department. Daniel Botts, violinist; Ransford Wise, clarinetist; and Christine Albers, pianist, will be heard. . Robert Becken, tenor, will sing several numbers. A special Armistice day program will be broadcast, the speaker to be announced later. Injuries and Illness Keeps Five Students From Usual Classes Students obliged to miss school this week on account of injuries received are: Virginia De Priest, suffering from an* injured knee; Harold McGrath of Nooksack and Leslie Williams. Williams received a fractured bone in his hand from football. Louise Contento arid Wilburn Whipple have been absent during the past week, due to illness.

N ORMAL SCHOOL BAND OT A DREAM Pleasing indeed is the news that Harold B. Smith will devote much of his time and energy this fall to to developing a school band. An all-school organization of this type is something for which the students have clamored for many years. Plans have been formulated before but lark of leadership dampened any success that such a club might have attained. In previous years it has been necessary to ask the services of downtown fraternal groups when the Normal school has wanted band music. Our Homecoming would be even more enjoyable with the realization that O U R band was playing at the game or during the serpentine march. Pranks must be considered as such on Hallowe'en. Thejbig, husky football player with the mighty voice, takes the cake by turning out all the lights in the main reading room of the library at 9 o'clock. "I do riot know beneath.what skies '• / Nor on what seas shall be t hy fate— "I do not know beneath what skies I only know it shall be high; I only know it shall be great." Let the world be ignorant, let friends despair, or neighbors scoff—one will believe. Her blind devotion, her unselfish faith, can see t h a t spark within her boy that will send him beyond the jabbing elbows of the crowd. Maybe it's h is mother, it may be a childhood chum, possibly his sweetheart—but always one will believe, one will know he cannot fail. Reward? Pagan' thought! So great the sacrifice and so deep the love that all is wormwood unless he live in worthy manliness and be crowned with hard-earned glory. He himself may not know whither his barque is headed, but holding its bow into the seas, he determines he will not drift. He dares not show how great is his love for her who gives him courage, believing that only in the realization of his hopes and t h e successful consumatibn of her dreams can he prove that his love, too, is not a selfish thing, nor his words a hollow voice. « He can ask for only that of which he has proved himself worthy. But should he fail—what then? What if he set his goal too far beyond his grasp, and all his striving, heart and soul, is unequal to the task? Can he face those who love him? There lies tragedy—there is heart break. Some must fail—what is their answer to be? School INA- H. KIRKMAN ;.')-• {, T OO MANY LATE; OO MUCH NOISE After attending the Utica Singer's assembly this week, we were more than ordinarily, impressed with the fact that late-arrivals indeed display discourtesy both to the artists featured in the programs and to those students who have arrived early in an attempt to get something from whatever talent may be presented. The Utica Singers, bringing with them as fine a piece of entertainment as the students have attended during the past season, must have been rather disappointed to have their program rudely interrupted by a few tardy spectators. Regulations must be inaugurated to cure this evil; if not, both artist and. early spectators will be robbed of their just rights during the hour. The Viking staff extends its sympathy to Darrow Gwinnup, who recently lost his mother. TRAINING SCHOOL TAKES UP ORDER Much Interest Shown in the Three Meetings Past "Come to Order" is not only the title of a book, so far as the Officer's Training School is concerned, but is also an actual practice. • The School was organized to give the officers of the various organizations an opportunity for practicing Parliamentary Law according to the theory given in the book, "Come to Order." It is under the jurisdiction of the Interclub Council and is headed by Miss Emma Erickson and Miss Nora B. Cummins. Officers are elected* roll is called, minutes are read, and all other business common to clubs is transacted in each meeting, giving the members ample opportunity to t ry each office. Much interest has been shown in the three meetings that have been held and t he clubs are urged to send all their officers regularly. — - o— Women's Organized Intramural Sports Display Fine Games Intramural games in women's volleyball, soccer, and hockey are getting well under way, with teams organized and first games played. Competition is already proving keen between the various teams. Volleyball contestants have been divided into three different teams with teams 1 and 2 playing the first game on last Tuesday afternoon. Team 1 emerged from the peppy battle an easy victor over,team 2.

Reed of this city, to Mr. Leslie M. Miller, of Coupville, Washington. Mrs. Miller was a graduate of the Fairhaven high school and the Bellingham Normal. She has been teaching in the Coupeville schools during the past year. First steps are usually excitirig in a home—occasionally so in school. On Wednesday the third grade embarked with much enthusiasm, and no little argiiment, on i ts map-making career. The result was a plat of Bellingham's water supply sources, oriented from the third grade room. The map, a united class project, is on a background of natural-toned tagboard. High street, with the intersecting streets that lead toward the Sehome Hill reservoir, is shown by pasting strips of gray; a n irregular expanse of green is the Normal campus. Lake Whatcom and Lake Padden appear in blue paper, with due regard to size, to direction, and to distance from, the campus. This map is a natural evolution from a field trip of some days ago. While on Sehome hill alert eyes picked out t h e reservoir which supplies Sehome hill district, and immediately demands arose as to the what, the where, and .how, and why. Answers to these questions have instituted a study of the general importance of water supply for power, pleasure, and navigation. A specific study of Bellingham's water system does not sound"* so comprehensive, butf in actuality the- study of it in the training school has embraced scientific points probably not yet a thoroughly digested part of t h e . geographical knowledge of numerous adult students near by. Use of the compass which was supplied by one of the children soon took care of disagreements over "pointing north." A magnetic needle became a part of the schoolroom furnishings after it was observed that a compass placed on the campus did not agree precisely with the Guide Meridian highway seen across town. A trip to the Maple street pumping station was inaugurated by t he class, eager to solve the problem of defeating gravity. . At present this map is tacked diagonally across the corner of the classroom which is true north. It doesn't seem "just right" to the children in any other position, but here the large "N" at its top is exactly where i t "ought to be." PRESTON A.

From their first appearance to the final chord of their last encore, the singers exhibited perfect voice harmony and unique originality. They announced their own program, which was made up of Negro spirituals, old Southern favorites, a reading, two ukelele selections, several popular numbers and humorous Negro songs. All of these they sang, with the exception of the popular arrangement of Goin' Home, without accompaniment. The particularly delightful thing about these five Jubilee Singers was the complete abandon and naivete with which each individual singer interpreted the various selections. Their personnel consists of Charles Williams, first tenor; M. H. Cole, second tenor; Clarence Ratcliffe, alternate tenor and reader; S. M. Huggs, baritone; W. G. Culver, bass, Mrs. Norman Cole, soprano and accompanist. Lensrud Elected; Council Secretary Conflicts Settled Johnny Lensrud was elected correspondence -secretary of the Inter- Club Council at a meeting of that body held Wednesday, Nov. 3, for the purpose of settling some conflicts in club programs. As a result of action taken by the Council, the Drama and Social Science clubs will have to arrange new dates for their meeings. The idea of having two assembly periods a month given over to the Officers' Training school was disccussed and passed upon. If this can be arranged, some members of the school will have charge of these two assemblies. It was moved that the chairman appoint a committee to frame a Council constitution. Members of this committee are Gordon Hamb-ley, Ruth Neal, and Lois Shaffer The organization of a new club, the Iskra club, in which Russian will be spoken, was discussed. The idea was approved and this new club will have its meetings on the second and fourth Thursdays of each month. N. E.

Ef INCaHM.S^ P?^?P#^r:Sr^!#*^ ; In t he year 1907, the head man of the Blame education system gave up his position to join the young Normal school a t Bellihgham. And then 15 years ago, this place got another break when the school superintendent of Thurston county laid down his duties and embarked -for. our own fair city. Gradually,/these., men have worked into the scheme of the institution until they have become a tradition. Old students associate them with the highest and the finest ideals that this school has offered them. And what's more, these gentlemen are athletically-minded—and how! . "^ I t just wouldn't seem natural to go to a football game without seeing our kindly math prof moving up and down the sidelines, eyes on the watch, with his hand reaching in his coat pocket for the gun... And who can imagine a Viking track meet without our genial psych prof standing a t the finish tape, picking them out?.. These two know sports from away back and either one of them can tell you who was Normal's sub right, and eleven years ago. Yessir, folks—it's Bond and Kibbe, the grand old men of Bellingham athletics. o—o Football is packed full of dramas, and last week one of them was enacted right out on our own gridiron. Les Williams went into that game with a hand all bandaged up. He was fighting on every play but in between times we noticed a look of anguish on his face and we wondered—. There were only two of us besides himself who knew about it, but that boy-was in there with a busted hand. And maybe you think that any kind of a-v broken bone, no matter how small it is, doesn't hurt! ! ! ! It's stuff like that that makes us feel that we're worthy of the name Vikings. —r-o—o—— "Have a Murad", said the football fan to the sports' writer last Saturday, as they sat in front of the radio listening to the game results coming in. o—o And how-that Pollaka does smack into 'em! He's only been/ here a short time but fights as if he's been playing with the Vikings for the past five years. He loves a football that.fellow—can't get enough of it. He'd run out of his way ten yards just to figure in the pile-up that stops the ball carrier. o—o—— He stands up ,there_ yelling « and when that ball's snapped he socks through., there., like., lightning and with head down, he drives his shoulder into the ball-packer. With all of his energy gone, he was "out" after the game Friday, and Why? Because he puts his "all"-into every play. ——o—o—— Tonight We tie into the College of Pugel Sound, Loggers and unless there's a big reason for it, we'll be right there in Tacoma when the whistle blows. C. P. S. stands at the top of the Northwest Conference ladder. Last Saturday they fought their old rival, Willamette, to a standstill down at Salem, Ore., but have won every other game to date. This means for us, plentee of competition, and the toughest well get this year—. So, go get 'em Vikings! ——«——o — ' ' Ruth and Lois Erwin spent the last week end at Blaine. Zenia Anderson visited her parents at Bow during the last week end. You Are Invited to //-...•vlVJslt'iOinj/-' Lr DJtSfcLIBRARY 213 East Holly Street Blue Bird Inn Outweighed, but hot outfought, the Vikings held a powerful St. Martins team.to a 0-0 tie in a spectacular football game last Friday on Waldo field. Vikings Hold Bangers The contest was packed with thrills but the outstanding feature of the game occurred in the first quarter when the . Rangers drove deep into Normal territory to t he one-yard line, only to be held for four downs by a sturdy defense that refused to give a foot. The first three attempts by the Saints were line smashes that failed to accomplish the purpose. On the fourth and last try, the determined St.. Martin backfield started a sweeping, end run, but Sinko, Normal's speedy halfback, came charging in to drive the college ballpacker out of bounds and thereby keeping the Viking goal line uncrossed. Normal Threatens The Vikings' opportunity to score came in the first half when Smith, Normal halfback, intercepted a St. Martin pass and with a clear field ahead of him galloped 55 yards before he was overtaken from behind. Bagley then threw a pass to Christie who was downed on the college 11-yard line. However, the Ranger defense stiffened and the Viking scoring threat was over for that time. •- • On a series of fumbles in the first half, Normal had the ball within the Saint's 30-yard stripe four times, but was unable to advance it fur* ther. Sinko Makes Run On one occasion, Sinko thrilled the crowd by a spectaular return of a St. Martin kick. The ball, after be-' ing punted by the Rangers, looked as if it were going out of bounds near midfield. However, Sinko picked the ball out of the air after the first bounce, and sprinted 25 yards through the St. Martins team before the amazed Rangers were able to stop him. The second half of the game was mainly a punting and passing duel between the two teams. Both squads were kicking beautifully, but the passing attack was very poor, and few gains were made via the air route. Turner Blocks Punt I n the fourth quarter, Turner, Viking end, made a sensational block of a St. Martin punt. A Normal player recovered the ball on the opponent's 45-yard line. But the scoring punch was not evident, and Normal was unable to advance the ball. However, the game ended a. few minutes later. The entire Viking squad played heads up football, although the outstanding player was Sulkosky, Viking Guard. Sulkosky, besides being an inspiration "to his team by Jiis constant flow of pep, played a wonderful defensive game, being in almost every St. Martin play. ——'-—-o Vikings A head in Six Tilts Played in Past With C. P. S. Outfit This evening in Tacoma marks the seventh meeting between the Loggers of C. P. S. and the Normal Vikings on the gridiron. In the six previous games the Vikings rolled up a total of 162 points to 48 points for their opponents, winning four games losing one and tying the other. Rivalry started between the two schools in 1916 when the Vikings stood out like a red nose to win twice 46 to 0 and 78 to 14. The next game wasn't played until 1921 when the Normalites came out on top again, 17 to 6. The . next year the game ended/again in favor of the Vikings, 14 to 7. They didn't meet .again until, 19303 which ended in a 0 to 0 tie. And last year the Logger^ won their'first game, 21 to 7. Name: Tinval R. Brinkman. Born i907; Ferndale, Wash.

Brinkman, with Flowers, Beaton, Smith, and Bagley, give Bellingham Normal one of the best defensive backfields in the history of the school and will give Ellensburg and Cheney Normal plenty of uncomfortable mom e n t s when they clash in the Armistice and Homecoming battles.

E. office and. Coach Carver wishes to stress the fact that. all the managers must attend this meeting at the set time because of the fact that the schedule will be drawn up a t this time. At present no teams have officially made known their desire to enter the league but several teams are rumored to be considering the matter. This opportunity to, enter a good league of fast teams will be offered to any group of men in.school who wish to-enter, a team and if there are too many teams entered it will be necessary to have the games on more than three days a week. Several teams are already turning •out in the ,gym in the afternoons. Although the schedule will not commence until after the Thanksgiving holidays. Basketball will be the favorite pastime of many of the young men gt; before that time. WENTY-SEVEN gridders strong, the Viking football squad led by Head Coach Sam Carver; -slipped into Tacoma this m o r n i n g a n d tightened the i r belts with determination, as they face the strong C. P. S. eleven tonight at the Tacoma stadium in one of the toughest games on the Viking schedule. Facing a team that has hurdled the strongest minor college football teams'in .this section, the Vikings are on the short end of the odds. Sandberg's C. P. S. eleven has taken Pacific University, Whitman, College of Idaho and tied with Willamette in four successive weeks of play, and with two remaining games yet to play are practically assured of first place, with a tie at the worst in the final standings of the Northwest Conference. Beaton Back With the return of Beaton in the backfield, the Vikings' chances are a little brighter as Williams who did the kicking for the locals will be out for the PPPPP

With, Qrvin Ryan cast in the title role of "Liliom," the cast for the summer drama production has been completed. The plot of the play centers about the character liliom, his marriage, his temptation to j leaders interested in international commit a crime, and his consequen- j relations and world peace. Some of Sara Jamieson and Gordon Millikan have been selected to represent the school at the Pacific Northwest Institute of International Relations, which will be held at Reed college in Portland, Ore., from July 5 to 15. The Board of Control has granted $50 for expenses. Miss Jamieson, who received her degree from WSNS last month, has been a prominent member of the International Relations club. She is a former president of the Inter-club council. Millikan, president of the student body, is a member of the Social Science club. The ten-day course is for student tial suicide. Other characters in the play are: Julie, Liliom's wife, played by Betty Hunt; Marie, Dorothy Sasse; Mrs. Musket, Faith Scheyer; Louise, Evelyn Larson; Mrs. Hollunder, Mary McDonald; Fiscur, Burdette Miller; Young Hollunder, John Durr; Wolf Beifeld, Francis Fisher; Linzman, Earl Nemmi; the doctor, Angus Edwards; the magistrate, Marshall Bacon; plainclothes police and heavenly policeman, Dan Botts and Clyde Kendall; the richly dressed man, Leonard Carroll; the poorly dressed man, Harry Goheen; the guard, Earl Hemmi; a suburban policeman, Victor Dickinson. The play is an expresslonistic story in seven scenes, and is from the Hungarian theater. The play is modern in the sense that it deals with Liliom's struggle during a depression when he is without a job. His committing of a crime and the consequences it brings upon himself and his family are brought out in three striking scenes. The play has a true social value and a pretty love story. It'is partly realistic and partly fantastic. Portions of the scenes are laid in a Hungarian city and the rest in a purely imaginary heaven. Tentative dates for the presentation of the play have been set for Thursday and Friday, July 26 and 27, according to V. H. Hoppe, faculty director. Evelyn Larson is student director. the problems for round table discussion, and the leaders are: "North American Interest in the Far East," Dr. Kenneth Scot Latourette; "Limz itation of National and International Armaments," Dr. Linden A. Manden; "The League of Nations and Its Possible Revision," Dr. George B. Noble; "The Problem of Latin America Including Mexico," William Fisher; "The Religious Aspect of the Problem of Peace," Dr. Hornell Hart. Miss Nora B. Cummins and E. J. Arntzen, social science instructors, selected the two delegates yesterday. o Normal Joins New Art Print Society Bellingham Normal Recommended For Membership by Oregon 'U' Hike To Skyline Ridge Scheduled This Saturday Weythman and Bond To be in Full Charge of All Day Trip To Scenic Point Blue Triangle Club To Sponsor Cruise To Guemes Island Board Membership Reduced Through Absence of Students During Two Summer Terms No Election Will Be Held To Select Substitutes; Julia Christiansen and Theona Flick, Former Board Members, Reappointed Representatives. Possibilities of the summer quarter Board of Control membership being limited to nine members instead of the usual group of 11, seemed to be nearly a certainty this week. Two old members of the Board, Julia Christiansen and Theona Flick, were appointed to serve as regular summer quarter members. However, according to Gordon Millikan, president of the associated students, nd election will be held to fill the positions left vacant this quarter when neither Weekly Splash Hour Is Each Thursday Students are asked by the Woman's Physical Educatin department to remember that the weekly splash hours will be held each Thursday, from 7 until 9, at the YWCA pool. The splash hours, a regular feature of the school year, are being offered throughout the summer session. A student body ticket is necessary to secure admission. The Normal has been recommended for membership in the American College Society of Print Collectors by the University of Ore-fon. The chief purpose of the society is to make available to the students of our universities and colleges important work by distin guished contemporary masters in the field of graphic arts. The art department of the Normal has already received two of these prints. Last fall "The Sea is Making" by Charles Woodbury was sent. The latest etching received is "Grandpa Takes a Walk" by Martin Lewis. Mr. Lewis was born in Australia and came to America as a young man, winning recognition for his arts work in New York. This latest mature work, as Robert Raynolds says, "is a depiction of both the solidity and inaccessible strangeness of the world". o Women's League Will Sponsors Tea Next Wednesday, July 3, the Women's league will sponsor their usual weekly tea in the Women's league room from 2:30 to 4:00. The chairman of the Fellowship committee, Charlene Mautz, will manage this affair with the aid of" one of the organized houses. These teas will be given every Thursday afternoon at this same time for the rest of the quarter. By Maxine Mickle Ranking high among the all-day trips planned for this summer's recreations is the outing to Skyline ridge scheduled for this coming Saturday. Miss Ruth Weythman and Dr. E. A. Bond have been delegated as sponsors for this excursion and they will act as guides. Transportation will be furnished for everyone. This jaunt is one that will not soon be forgotten, as Skyline is one of the most outstanding scenic points in the Baker region. From this vantage ground one can see to the north and northeast, over 10,- 000 mountain peaks including Mt. Baker and Mt. Shuksan. There will also be excellent sliding for those who care to participate. All cars will leave the campus at 7:00 a, m. Everyone is to bring his own lunch and tin cup. The hike begins one and one-half miles beyond Glacier. Lunch will be eaten at the four-mile post, leaving one mile for an after dinner mint. An abundance of fresh air and exceptional appetites all may be had for the small sum of 70 cents. So come along everyone and don't forget your lunch! o Tickets for Moonlight Sail Trip On Dr. Erb's Yacht, Thetis, Will Cost Dollar. Excursionists to Orcas Island Make Interesting Holiday Trips; Special Rates Are Given Clubs or Groups By Pat Allan Nowhere on Puget Sound can a more beautiful trip be found than that to Orcas island from Bellingham. In the morning Mount Baker rises above the city, silhouetting itself against the rising sun. In the west Mount Constitution, easily seen from the bay, is a barrier against the open sea. Dozens of little islands lock the harbor. As the ferry finds its way between them to Orcas, passengers on the boat are thrilled by changing scenes of light houses while against the green of the island trees and blue of the water, sandy beaches stretched between moss grown rocks. A special ferry schedule has been arranged by the Puget Sound Navigation company to accommodate summer sightseers on Puget Sound. Summer school visitors from localities away from the water will find the trip a beautiful panorama of sky, water, islands. For clubs and interested groups, special rates may be arranged for the 3% hour trip. Fares as low as 64 cents may be arranged for larger groups. Three trips daily, four on Sundays and holidays offer a variety of hours for departure. Mr. Greene, at the Citizen's dock, has agreed to make special provisions for a bus trip to the top of Mount Constitution for students desiring to see the. excellent view afforded from that spot Degree Awarded To Sonof Miller Former Normal Student Receives PhD. at Yale University Neal Egar Miller, son of Dr. and Mrs. Irving E. Miller and a former student at the Normal, has received the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Psychology at Yale university, where he has studied for the past three years. Miller was also granted a research fellowship by the Social Science council, work upon which will take him to Vienna in September. Prior to the awarding of his degree, Miller was half-time assistant to Professor Miles at Yale. —- o Sliding Demonstrations Feature of Recent Climb Spectacular sliding demonstrations by President C. H. Fisher and L. A. Kibbe were features of the Church mountain climb last Saturday. Leaving school at 7:30 a. m., 40 recreation enthusiasts spent the day in hiking and sliding down snow banks. The mountaineers had the novel experience of getting into a snowstorm on the first official day of summer. Each - student , brought his - own lunch and the group ate on the mountain. After, lunch everyone joined in singing school songs. The Inkers reporti a grand time with plenty of thrills and spills. Moonlight sailing on Puget sound is scheduled for Sunday, June 30, as an attraction for the Normal school boat trip to Guemes island. A quota of 50 students will go oh the trip sponsored by the Blue Triangle. The trip is an annual club project. The boat which will transport the students to the island, Dr. Carl Erb's sailing yacht, the hTetis, will leave South Bellingham at 9:00 a. m. After arriving at the island, ball games, swimming or hiking may be participated in by the students. The Thetis, will leave South Bellingham about 7:30 p. m. Coffee will be furnished by the club, but students will be expected to take enough food for two meals. The cost of the trip is $1 a person. o Violinist, Pianist, Singer Entertain Portland Concert Ensemble Gives Musical Program in June 25 Assembly Vacation Soon Next Friday, July 5, will be a holiday for Normal school students and faculty members. Since the Fourth of July comes on Thursday, the faculty decided to close school from Wednesday at 4 p. m., until Monday, July 8, at 8 a. m. This will give many students a chance to go home for the holidays. A well balanced program of violin, piano, and baritone solo numbers was presented in assembly last Tuesday by musical artists from Portland, Oregon.

Is News To Be A Commodity? Marlen Pew, editor of Editor and Publisher, told a convention of newspaper people in Chicago last week that if journalists unionize, the nations press would suffer a "complete nullification of the whole principal of impartial, factual news reporting." Mr. Pew thinks that unionization of the news room spells propaganda; it would mean that an editor "must call up union headquarters and ask for an editorial writer, take the material that is sent, and still try to maintain his independence.' But he's never had a great deal of independence to maintain, according to Linwood Noyes, president of the Inland Daily Press association, who told the same convention that propaganda is already flooding today's non-unionized papers through the Associated and United Press news services. "I am getting so I suspect everything I read," Mr. Noyes said. "I have found so many cases, by following up developments. The Sunday feature pages are replete with free publicity, building up personalities, show actresses, politicians, books, drugs, and hundreds of other activities and products which rightfully belong to the advertising columns." The significant thing about these statements is that news is recognized for what it cannot avoid being in a competitive economic system; namely, a salable commodity and not something mystically free of man-made manipulations. Today's public relations counsellors promote the interests of their clients by creating events which newspapers feel they cannot ignore, as was revealed in the nation wide "observance" of Edison's invention of the electric light. News will continue to be a commodity, subject to the excesses of a competitive economy, until we learn to live in a society designed fftir public use instead of private gain. All we have to do now is design the society.— —The College Eye, Cedar Falls, Iowa. —"And our stomachs just rose and fell with the tide." so said Senator what-was-his-name some odd years ago in describing what really were hard times. Clam digging, um, urn First recollections—always a good way to begin—you shoot them with a gun, a long length of rope to tie to their necks so they won't dig out and get away, and an ax to kill the beasts with after you have them flopping on the sand—that's all that a tenderfoot needs to catch the blasted critters. This was the first tale I heard of them, on cold winter nights, long before the first clam ever shot me in the eye. Change of scene—Birch bay under an old fir down by the beach. There I go out over the green seaweed toward the rim of the tide, about a half out. It's a 2-foot tide and I've heard that the clams are biting, or rather squirting today. Costume: one pair of swimming trunks and a suede jacket, one shovel and a gunny sack. Gosh, but I had fun! I grabbed an old clam by his helm, and tried to pull him out by the roots—!!!! But he wasn't a carrot at all and he proved he was animal with a temper by shooting me in the eye with a stream of salt water. So I dug in and soon I had the clam gasping on the sand. A long neck and a hard shell, a horse clam. Though, of course, having the soul of a sportsman, I dug another hole and restored him to his natural inheritance, the salt tide, and the sand and seaweed. -o Monthly Mags Periodicals of Various Types Enlightening Homespun Economics A Review by Wilson Waylett Trains Come Roaring Down Tracks; They Do Not Stop LOOK AT THE P.

Nelson, 1935, Montesano, Wash. Montesano Publishing Co., 192 pp. $2.00. In its heighday the indigenous school of economic philosophy was represented by such notable persons as Henry George and Coin Harvey. Populism was the most typical as well as the most successful political development of these agrarian theorists. As America continued to develop along capitalistic lines, the voices of agrarian protest were drowned out. ' Now that American capitalism has reached its dec e n t stage, one notes a final flare-up of old beliefs. These may range from Utopian societies and technocracy clubs, through the Townsend plan, to the Liberty party and other groups favoring banking reform. But no matter how greatly these groups appear to differ, they all unite on certain fundamental principles, which might be listed as being: (1) reformistic m nature, attempting to get back to the "good old days" of the small entrepreneur, (2) reliant almost wholly on the ballot to accomplish their ends, (3 primarily moralistic in approach, and (4) desirous of retaining intact the old cultural and social institutions of capitalism. Mr. Nelson's approach resembles that of the founder of the Liberty party, but his work seems, on the whole, more lucid and better integrated than Coin Harvey's. One could "scarcely quarrel with a number of things he says, but one might well criticize him for what he leaves out and for the direction of his emphasis. For Mr. Nelson falls into the error which was long ago termed, by a certain German economist, the "fetichism of commodities"; i. e. he does not see the class relationships masked by the monetary system. Furthermore he has quixotic opinions concerning the flexibility of the capitalistic state. Despite these facts, Mr. Nelson's ideas impress one as being considerably more valid than those of certain incumbent panacea vendors, and are certainly preferable to the maunderings of the shirted.

BELL1NGHAM. WASHINGTON Intramural Basketball Gets Underway With Filibuster And Kleaner in Win Column I n the first game of the summer intramural basketball season Kar-by's Kleaners cleaned Hoek's Highbinders by a score of 39 to 22. The Kleaner's best offense probably is height. They had plenty of that as well as potential scoring ability, although Zeke McClurken (only runt on t h e winning squad) and Chuck Erickson were the only players able to shove the ball through the h o op consistently. The Kleaners started off strong and led their opponents by a score of 28 to 10 at the half, 14 points Frender's Filibusters crashed their way through the gang of Robbers, proponents of the Robinson system of basketball, and when the tumult and the shouting had died most of the combanants were badly crippled. Due t o t he ^$?M!MM n e a r - sightedness o f Referee Bob Carbon-aau, a total of only twenty-two fouls was called during the game. For t h e winners Shenenberger scintillated, scoring twelve points from his position at guard.

Although held to seven terms in the second half, the Kleaners showed enough stuff to justify the contention that they will be the team to defeat for intramural honors.

The Clowns, with victories over the Tacoma Tigers and Gibson's to their credit, failed to show much in their local appearance. Lasley, local moundsman, held the Eastern outfit to six hits while his mates were collecting 16 from Britt. Nelson and Hofeditz were the leading hitters, and Stun Bray, local star and WSNS student, had a good night behind the plate. Tonight's game will be the whiskered team's sole appearance in Bellingham this season. That badminton is a favorite sport of the girls in school is apparent •from the ladder tournaments now being played. The ladder of the badminton tournament contains the names of 11 girls, a larger number than any other on the sports schedule. Monday afternoons find tennis enthusiasts on the courts, with seven girls entered in the tournament. Prospective William Tells and more prospective Cupids, eight in number, are now vying for honors as the school's champion marks-women: archery attracts a number of girls each Thursday afternoon Competing with archery as a Thursday sport are both volleyball and horseback riding. Tuesday finds all hiking fans, men as well as women, taking the all-school hikes to points near Bellingham, as a second sport in which all students may participate. Baseball is the order of the following day, Wednesday. Still other tournaments are planned to be held after the conclusion, next week, of the three now in progress. Normal Baseball Squad Will Play University Today Horseshoe Team Also Scheduled , To Meet U of W Players This Afternoon Sixteen strong, the summer baseball squad and the varsity horseshoe team left this morning for Seattle, where they are scheduled to meet the University of Washington at 3 o'clock this afternoon. Both teams are given a good chance to win by Sports Director Sam Carver. Carver states that the baseball squad is particularly strong this year. With McCleery, Stun Bray, and Pierce in the outfield, Erickson at short, Si Boulton on first sack, and Wooten and McClurken on second and third, the Vikings have a strong, aggressive club. McCartin will catch, while Loomis is scheduled to start on the mound. hTe horseshoe tossers, Carboneau, Keppler, and Barnhart, meet three men who are rumored to be of exceptional calibre when they match shoes with the University boys. The country sport is popular on the southern campus during the summer. Most of the ball players are former varsity semipro stars. Boulton is a University letterman, Wooten played at Whitman, and Stun Bray was on the varsity at WSC. The University teams are scheduled to play return games here at a later date.

Stage Depot Phone 5004 Without The WAA Sandison Portrait and Commercial PHOTOGRAPHERS .*. Looking h Over .*. By Harry Winsor Now that Baer and Camera have both fallen and big-time boxing is off the boards for the summer, the moment has come to turn our attention to local affairs. First there is Norman Bright, a WSNS product, who journeyed to the big city and made good in a big way. Bright, who carries the Olympic club's colors to the major meets, will soon have a chance to prove himself the outstanding * two-mile candidate for the U. S. Olympic squad. Should he lead the field in the Far West meet, he will be the boy to watch next spring. And his time trials, so far, are very hopeful. Let's pause for a moment and turn the calendar back to 1928, when Bright, the Viking find, came back from Ellensburg with the Trinomial record in his pocket and a sheepish grin on his face. Other men had broken records at that meet, and had lowered them by a larger margin. But this seventeen-year- old youngster was the hero of the meet. He had spirit. He had personality. He had everything he needed to make him a great distance man—everything but experience. Training and hard work nave given him that. And the honors he has accumulated in the intervening years have left him unchanged. He's still Norm Bright. And all the boys who knew him are watching him and wishing him luck. And a ticket to Berlin! While track talk is going around, don't forget the American Legion meet on July 3. The first and second place men from the Northwest district meet will engage a selected group of British Columbia high school stars. These boys will be at the top of their form, and spectators will be offered high school track at its best. Somewhere in .the group there may be a potential record-breaker, a man who will see his name in the sport-page headlines. Come out Wednesday and see if you can recognize him.

Midst the latter class is Prexie Gordon Minifr*"!, who rather naively remarks that he cannot possibly make a choice as he never listens. Of course, Joe Penner, Ben Ber-nie, Walter Winchell, and KVOS are all listened to with rather zest-ful appreciation. A few more subdued choices, however, may be found. DORIS CONDEGEORGE: I listen to "One Man's Family", because it's real people doing real things—interesting, but they aren't too good a family to be true. Perhaps it is more like a family life as it should be lived. CLYDE WHEELER: I'll take the "First Nighter" program. It is interesting and different. LOUISE SCHULZ: Lux radio theater; it gives me time to hear plays I don't otherwise have time to read. CATHERINE McDONALD and MYRTLE JOHNSON: " F i r st Nighter" program is one of the best programs of its kind. The well-acted dramas usually have good plots and the people who take part in them are excellent. CLYDE CAMPBELL: I like the Richfield reporter, at 10:00. The reason for my choice of this program is that it gives me a synopsis of the day's news, and what to look for in the papers the following day. LEONARD CARROLL: I like Father Coughlin's broadcast because I like to look at both sides of any question, and he portrays one side excellently. BILL FRENDER: I can't say just which one I like best, but those I usually listen to are topped by "One Man's Family", because of its naturalness, and "First Nighter", which is very interesting and always different.

Constructive medical discoveries (at NYU, not Minnesota) by Dr. Maurice Brodie of the New York City Department of Health, led to the successful vaccination of 300 New York school children for dread infantile paralysis. Ecce Minnesota; ecce New York. B.S.N.S. The serum developed by Dr. Brodie, while not yet proven to be 100 per cent effective, is a sure step in the right direction. No longer need the disease be feared as presaging almost certain disablement or death. B.S.N.S. Thus progresses science, slowly but certainly making his physical environment safe for man, and man is content. Different is his attitude toward his economic environment. Witness wars, revolutions. In most cases these festers on the body of humanity result from man's unrelenting desire to possess the things he wants NOW, ultimately from his stupid insistence that he is alone in his desire to possess, his refusal to acknowledge that his children's children will want as well as he, than mankind is more important than man. Sound like William Randolph, don't I? And Time. Inc. B.S.N.S. Cordon Richardson, Co-op investigator, newly hired vendor there, and Board secretary, is the unknown quantity in the election. Undoubtedly he is waiting to throw his political support where it will be sure to net him still another job abut school. B.S.N.S. Aspirants for politico-dictator on the hill are due to be raked over the hotties in the pending nominating convention. Rumor has it that the final heat will see leftwing Mil-likan, rightwing Hager and centrist Hartley taking the last hurdle in a near-tie. Hager's loud-voiced in-tentions to withdraw from the race smell of a campaign stunt for publicity, but there is certainty that Millikan's intramural class struggle will be carried to the finish.

Lea Fills Place On Library Staff Former Student Takes Position at Library Circulation Desk; Farlow Resigns Marion E. Lea, a student of the Normal school for the past three quarters and a former student at the U. of W., has been appointed to take the place of Miss LaVerne Farlow in the circulation department at the library. Miss Farlow resigned during the holidays to accept a position as teacher and librarian in a Seattle public school. President C. H. Fisher spoke very highly of Miss Far-low, saying that she was accommodating to everyone and always had a cheerful spirit in serving both students and faculty. Miss Farlow had been on the school library staff since the fall of 1929. Miss Lea received her library experience by doing part-time work here. ReoHour This Evening Substitute For Mixer. The first dance of the winter quarter will be held tonight at 8 o'clock in the big gym. Music will be furnished by Jack Burn's orchestra. This dance will take ther place of the mixer which is usually, held in Edens hall. Admittance will only be obtainable by student body tickets or guest tickets, which may be secured from the dean of women's office. Plans for decorations and refreshments have not been made as yet. Action on these will take place at the Board of Control meeting. Sponsors for the dance will be Miss Emma Erickson, Miss Pearl Merri-man, and Dr. E. A. Bond University Musician Will Sing Tuesday Frederick William Zimmerman will appear in a concert of German lieder in assembly Tuesday, January 15. Mr. Zimmerman was first, of all the musicians resident today in Seattle ,to teaoh and to appear pro^ fessionally in that city. He still retains the charm of address and the vocal ability to give a successful recital. As the first vocal teacher, first glee club coach at the University of Washington and also as a musician and artist, Mr. Zimmerman comes with fine "musician-ly" knowledge and artistic sensitivity. Critics regard him as an authoritative interpreter of German lyr- Another Quarter Begins With Equal Resolutions Concerning Equal Affairs By Nelson Ault With about 700 students back to break their New Year's resolutions the first week, another quarter begins. All the old worries are over, except perhaps for a few grades, and a new set is coming up. The two short weeks of vacation seem like years; watching the students greet each other on the first day of school one would suppose that each had been absent for something just short of a decade. Library is jammed, at least temporarily with students who are turning over new leaves. Groups of co-eds clutter the halls, buzzing about what old Saint Nick dropped down their chimneys, and wasn't that a funny looking dress So-and- So got for Christmas—I wouldn't say anything but she's such an awful cat, and so on. Accountants are wearing a harried look and the lines of fee paying students grow longer with each passing hour. Deans' offices are jammed—could I change my course? —I have a conflict—couldn't I pos^ sibly get that at 10? Teachers, too, look worried; overcrowded classes, new faces, courses —students blundering in and out hunting for their classes—a new batch of freshmen. Howls of high glee from the direction of the dorm—sophisticated coeds imitating two-year-olds. Mighty crowds of youths and maidens making merry while having their evening coke or cup of coffee. Animated discussions of everything from the Carioca to Einstein's theory—what is the world coining to, with So-and- So dragging an A in student teaching? Another quarter has begun. New Recreation Presented for Winter Quarter Wide Variations in Games Planned For Members of the Student Body Program to be Formulated Committee Convenes To Organize The Entire Program A better and more varied recreational program. That is what the recreational committee is working for. The group hopes to establish a program for all students of the school; in which all can participate. A varied selection of games has been chosen for this, such as: badminton, ping pong, checkers, chess, bridge, swimming, hiking, and folk dancing. Ample space would be provided and tables would be set up in the gym. This would not interfere with the regular rec hour which is held on Friday afternoons; but would supply entertainment for those students who do not attend rec hour. Of course this does not mean that those students who go to rec hour cannot be participants in these games for the evening. The recreational committee is composed of three students and three faculty members, namely; chairman, Christine Albers, assisted by Randy Oberlatz, Don Richard son, Dr. A. C. Hicks, Miss Ruth Piatt, Dr. C. C. Upshall. Instructor Returns After Long Illness Miss Lucy. Kangley, instructor in the English department, has re turned to school after an absence of one quarter. Late last summer Miss Kangley fell from a seventy-give^ foot cliff, suffering a broken collar bone, several broken ribs, and two dislocated vertebrae. She was treated at Providence hospital, Se attle. During her absence, Mrs. Mildred Crockett, of Seattle, taught her classes.

First in news and personal interest the stork played the part of the hero. The birth of the new, with a question mark ajbove its future record. Secondly was the conventional, with a dinner perhaps forming the daily tie Different things to eat, and perhaps relatives or friends whose new conversation ideas broke the sameness of the usual table-talk. Contrasted to the above were the accidents, mishaps, and deaths. Begnnng with this isbue of the Viking a new staff is born. The question mark above it is obvious. The conventionalism is also manifest. A few writers and a few ideas come to the front. Even; the accidents or mistakes may be noticed. Forget them as you do those which happen outside of school life. However, —we plan to let death play no part in our directed drama. Get Reading Habit By WILSON WAYLETT Artistic potentialities of photography are brought home to one who looks through American Photography. Especially notable features in the January issue are "Nautsch Girl" and "Blizzard." Among the most successful developments of revolutionary art are the murals of Mexican painters. Diego Riviera, through his commission to do the Rockefeller city murals, was the first to gain notice in this country. But the general superiority of Orozco's work is coming to be accepted, and it is he who received the opportunity of fulfilling a similar task at Dartmouth. The Forum for November chose to depict some parts of the Dartmouth murals. Keyhole Interest Shifts From California .. Communism gained ground in its hopes for University sanction when Oxford reinstated a group of 125 undergraduate Communist sympathizers University authorities placed them on the list of "legitimate" student organization after banning them from the campus for nine months Being reminded of the furor caused in the California universities on the same question, we realize that we are not immune from facing this issue in our own country. A day of "service, humiliation, and prayer" was proclaimed last Sunday by Vancouver, B C.'s new mayor. Thousands of irregular church attendants went to Sunday service to repent the "evil days" spoken of in the proclamation. Might we learn from this proclamaton? Annual? Yes, Now! "Something has come up about the Klipsun. It is costing each and every one of us three dollars per year f$r the annual. The Thespian's Club went on record this week as being in favor of a lower priced annual. "Why, in depression times, must we pay the same price for our annual that was paid for annuals years ago, When money was more common. Why, for that matter, have annuals at all? One dollar saved each quarter makes quite a dent in that registration fee, and with having to pay for football and all; . . . ... . . . ; -^Reprinted from the Northwest Viking of April 28, I 1933' ';: ' !"'. i Maybe the present annual editor won't, like eating his'owriioordfl'. ...1,;.^,1;,.- • •-,.• -•••• •••'• Seems like the old days to see NTJMMY WATSON and MARION MCCARTHY back—We notice many fine new diamonds on feminine fingers since vacation—Included in the list are those belonging to BETTY TODD and MARYE LOUISE HARRISON —CHRIS ALBERS is also sporting a very tasty bit along the square-cut ruby line—And while these maidenly hearts have been fluttering, CUPID has been shooting the Bartons bunch full of holes —at least so rumor will have it— The Women's League Informal has a lot of people in a dither, up to, and including LORETTA BAL-COMB, who has been running round for two days looking for a swain to escort her—Right this way, gentlemen— Speaking of people regaining their health and pep, MARY BENSON certainly looks like a million— I guess the KEYHOLE will have to quit, since "NELLIE" AULT announced that he is going into retirement— And as a final admonition, watch the Daniels gang break out with the mumps next week. See The Shows At The Theatres The blue ribbons, silver cups and cheers for the most entertaining movies are being bestowed on "It Happened One Night," starring Claudette Colbert, and to "One Night of Love," with Grace Moore. We agree, don't you? Shirley Temple's winning ways and Myrna Loy's ability in comedy drama won for them the titles of the outstanding heroines of 1934. Incidentally, Mae West and Katharine Hepburn reigned in 1933—so what? The Legion of Decency drive must have accomplished a great deal this past year. Even the most conservative would not condemn "Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch," "Girl of the Limberlost," or "Anne of Green Gables." More and more pictures are being made, we notice, showing the need for a social conscience as "Our Daily Bread," "The President Vanishes," and "The House of Rothschild." After two weeks of vacation, that is eliminating the days of January 2 to 5, during which' 700 agitated students pitched their tents on the mail box, we have managed to pull ourselves together and get some of the new 1935 resolutions. Nelson Ault resolves not to have a date this quarter, go to bed early and study every night. Sally Stephen resolves to give up waiting for the accountant to come and collect her fees. Tom Kean resolves not to go to Everett again very soon. Randy Oberlatz, the strong, silent, blond heart throbber, resolves to stay femme-proof. Mary Louise Harrison resolves to become real feminine and "bat anyone's ears down" who calls her Tarzan. The Little Dark Girl from Portland makes 300 odd men in the institution resolve to find out who, what, when and where, as well as stop and gaze when she passes by. Oscar Svarlein resolves to drop to at least one hour of "B" this quarter. Approximately 700 students resolve to keep the Co-op bill somewhere within papa's checkbook. June Goodman and Fred Guglomo resolve to keep out of print this quarter, nize start, folks! Lucille Lee resolves to get one man and keep him in her liT Ford coupe all quarter. Thass all, folks. Radio Feature Indian Philosophy "Squaw do work; brave hunt and fish." This—as among other primitive people—was the social philosophy of the Indians here on the Sound when the white men began to settle. It was the woman who performed all the household duties. Added to this she did what agricultural work that was done. She planted, cared for, and harvested the crop. Then she cooked the food for her lord and master. There is an amazing incident told by the Judsons. An Indian chief had decided to move his camp. While the chief was bidding goodbye to his friends, his four wives were loading his possessions upon their backs. When the white-haired chief was ready he led the way; his wives followed, so doubled over from the weight of the load so that only their legs and walking sticks were visible. Tonight, Friday, offers a bit of pleasing entertainment in the quarter hour program entitled Ricardo and his violin. Ricardo, while not a Rubinoff, can wield the bow with the best of them. This program is released from NBC at 5:45. And when the gong comes at 6 o'clock, turn your dial to your favorite CBS outlet and listen to the March of Time. Tomorrow night- the Big Ten will hold a great many people's attention when presented from NBC at nine. And still more dance music from the same stations at 9:30 when the broadcast known as "Let's Dance" is presented. Should you grow tired of so much rhythm and be un-American enough to be without a date on Saturday night, go to bed with the idea of getting up early the next morning to listen to one of the organ broadcasts KOL often presents some time between 5 and 7 o'clock in the morning. The time is indefinite because the programs are for test purposes only; Ivan Ditmars is the organist CBS gets the spotlight Monday evening when they present a revival of the good old Blue Monday Jamboree. The program is now living on its name only; it's a good program but "she ain't whut she used to be" when KFC of San Francisco started it and everybody up and down the coast stayed home on Monday nights to listen to the wise-cracking of Harrison Holliway, Mac's Haywire orchestra, Frank Watanabe and others of the old gang. It is scheduled to start at nine but get in early and listen to Kale Smith, also from CBS. o The New Republic is printing a series of charming caricatures of leading personages by Peggy Bacon. .Some individuals which have been so handled are: F.

The ---------- Northwest Viking - 1935 January 11 - Page 3 ---------- WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL; BELLINGHAM/WASHINGTON Opening of Second Half of Intramural Basketball Race Finds Nine Teams Entered What's The Northwest Viking Favored To Cop Title, But Will Lose Stone And Carver Daniels Will Enter Team Bill Frender Will Manage Strong Beef Trust Squad Slightly out of condition after a two-week layoff, fifty intramurai basketeers are getting back into the swing this quarter with the opening of the second half of the tournament. Starting with clean slates, several of the second division teams of last quarter's race will probably find themselves in position to climb the ladder in the standings and develop into real contenders for the intramural championship. Daniels Enter Team Under the direction of Sam Carv^ er, nine teams will again take part in the race. In the first half of the flag race eight teams finished, the aggregation known as the Swampers having dropped out early in the fight; Big Bill Frender, however, has lined up a strong squad of Daniels hall men and this team will bring the number of competing teams up to nine. Frender has signed up such stars as Bill Ames, Jim Miller, Leo Alpaugh and Her-miston Hammond, the flash from Eastern Oregon. This team promises to make up in beef what it lacks in playing ability and should become a dangerous contender. Bob Lindsley's Northwest Vikings, first-half flag winners, will be weakened considerably by the loss of its two high scoring aces, Stone and Carver. Stone did not report back to school, while Carver is holding down the center position on the , varsity squad. To make up for this loss, however, Lindsley has signed up three new men in school this quarter, Edwards and DeVries, former Fairhaven stars, and Ed Angel, of Portland. The addition of these men along with Hager, Taylor and Keene should make up a very formidable outfit and THE team to beat in the second half race. Men's Club Strong Oscar Starlund's Men's club crew should also be a big threat in the fight for top honors. This team came along with a rush toward the latter part of the first half and if they can keep up this pace they may end up in first division. Ahern's Portsiders, a somewhat erratic outfit last quarter, are capable of playing good basketball once they get clicking, and with all their members back will be ready to assert themselves in the battle. Other teams in the race wal be the Co-op, Frosh, Scotchmen, Bartons and Edwards, the perennial cellar favorites. At a meeting of the team managers last Monday it was decided that any team can sign up a player and he will be eligible to play the same day he is signed. Heretofore, members had to be signed on the dotted line five days before they became eligible to par ticipate in league games. Early Games Say Wildcats, Savages Both Look Strong Relunsdorf, Peterson, Danekas Form Nucleus of Strong Cheney Outfit What are the relative merits of the Cheney and Ellensburg basketball teams this year? According to Coach C. F. Lappenbusch both fives are plenty strong and dangerous. The advantage in height which the Wildcats and Savages have over the Vikings is his greatest worry, he says. The strength of the Cheney .quintet has already been pretty well proven. Their victory over Idaho and their two defeats by WSC by scores of only 40-37 and 28-26 speak strongly of their prowess. Scoring Aces Back Rebensdorf, said to be one of the best long distance shooters; Peterson, another scoring ace, and Danekas, aU veterans, form the nucleus of a team which is rounded out by two capable first-year men, Eustace at center and Kerns, guard. At Ellensburg, Coach Leo Nicholson has such men as Sesby, Hadley, and Denslow, all of proven ability, around whom to build. Sesby has been moved from forward to guard this year, but still retains his deadly shooting eye. Another man whom pre-season games show to be a dangerous scoring threat is Marks, rangy center. Score By Bob Lindsley Viking Varsity Hoop Squad Wins Opening Season Game Against Seattle College Five The second half of the intramural league got under way in grand style last Tuesday night when the men of Barton tangled with the men of Daniels in their annual grudge fight. This battle for blood was one of the weirdest ever seen by your writer in three years at this institution. Pat Jacobsen did something that even Ripley wouldn't believe when he emerged from the fray with high-point honors without having scored a field goal. He converted 11 out of 14 free throws. Out of the total 32 points scored by both teams only 14 were scored on field goals. To make sure you won't miss games of this sort again let us remind you that games are played every Monday, Tuesday and Thursday afternoons at. 4 o'clock. Annual W Club Smoker Set For First Of Month Congratulations, Lonie, on the new title. In case you don't know, folks, it is "Louie Shaffer, APD" (Doctor of Apple-Polishing). Portsiders, Vikings, Bartons, Edwards Top Hoop League The Portsiders and Vikings took their places at the top of the league along with Edwards and Bartons hall last night when they won their first games in the second half. The Portsiders scored a hard victory over the Men's club, 25 to 21, while the reporters were having an easier time subduing the Co-op, 29 to 21. This was the ninth straight victory for the newspaper men. Greatly strengthened by the addition of Hokstra and Ries, Ahern's southpaws showed a much more polished attack and defense. Singer was high point man for the portsiders with 8 points while Star-lund led the Men's club with 12 counters. DeVries, Shangle and Hager, led the reporters to a victory that was gained merely by outpassing the Co-op men. Alexander was high for the Co-op, with 8 points. Track prospects are beginning to pick up with the enrollment of Kenoyer, a half-miler from Ana-cortes, this quarter. Coach Sam Carver is counting heavily on this lad to bring home a first place in most of the meets this spring and it seems that he won't be disappointed. Kenoyer already has to his credit a mark that is better than the existing tri-normal record. He won the Northwest district half mile event in 2 minutes and .8 seconds and the state event in 2 minutes 2.4 second. The tri-normal mark is 2 minutes 1.2 seconds. Today's hunches — Lappenbusch's basketeers, although they are lacking in inches, are better today than they were at this time last year . . . The Vikings intramural squad will not miss Stone and Carver as much as everyone predicts . . . The P o r t s i d e r s , Newspapermen, and Bartons are the teams to beat for the championship. Week's Highlights—The nod this week is given to Tony Adonis Zam-bas for the sterling exhibition that he turned in against Seattle college last Wednesday night. Not a regular last year, Tony has blossomed into a brilliant guard. Although he was always a ball-handler of the highest quality, this year he has added a deadly shooting eye which can be seen by this week's game. Zambas emerged with high point honors with ,9 points. With Zambas and Stutz JfT the back court, it seems as though Lappenbusch's worries over the guard positions are over. Heather Meadows Goal For WAA Member's Annual Winter Jaunt Heather Meadows is the goal of the WAA members for an all-day trip next week-end. Although details are indefinite plans are going forward rapidly, under Hazel Swisher, hiking manager. Suggestions for spending a day playing in the snow, skiing, a short hike, and seeing the movie set-up were enthusiastically received by club members at the meetng January 8. Because the transportation problem the number may be limited. Although WAA members and faculty friends will be given the preference the trip may be opened to others later. For complete details everyone should watch for announcements in the official bulletin and WAA board next week. With the WAA By Babs Lindsley Greetings, Lassies! Aye, but it's bonnie to see all of ye back for roll call. Max Iddins is wondering if Christmas was to be thanked for the sudden rush to pay dues. With a large number signed up for basketball, 45 for badminton, 23 for swimming, and a hike scheduled for every Saturday, winter sports show possibilities of living up to the motto of: A sport for every girl; Every girl out for a sport. But since there is always room for more, newcomers are assured a welcome at the turnouts next week. * * * * * "We want to see the dogs—and d a r k Gable" comes the cry from WAA as plans go forward for an all day trip to Heather Meadows. With the added appeal of "snowballing", "washing faces", "walking in the winter once again", it looks as though it'll be a great day. * * * * * Come on, you adventurous souls. Who is going to join me in my first attempt at the gentle art of skiing? Beg, borrow, or rent 'em and try it. Eventually, why not now, under the guidance of Ruth Weyth-man? DeGallier, Martin, Jensen, Peterson, etc., are promising the crowd plenty of thrill at the spills anyway. "Keep your weather eye peeled" on the bulletin boards "my hearties" to learn details as to time, cost, and equipment. "How's your wind?" asks Swisher with the suggestion that you should get in shape before tackling the snow by joining the hikers at one o'clock on the main step tomorrow afternoon for a trip to the Natural Dry docks. Several . Boxing and Wrestling Bouts Arranged • Under the chairmanship of "Pop" Miller, the annual W club slugfest has been scheduled to take place on the first of February. This will be the seventh annual smoker and Chairman Miller promises plenty of action in both wrestling and boxing.

XXX—NO. 35 WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM; WASHINGTON Normalite ORDER CHANGETH FIRST IMPRESSIONS WE MISSED IT ADIOS By Jack Gudmundson "The old order changes, yielding place to new." Now that gradua-tion is over, new faces fill the halls and old faces wonder at the change and strangeness of things. Up here in The Viking office a tomb-like atmosphere pervades—pardon, new scribes, bat it is just a mood of one who wonders at the passing of things. It is a far cry to kings, but— "Though a king may die with his gilded name, Why, hogs and men go on the same" Impressions of the first day of the-summer session: A full library. Battle scarred grads with the wounds ^bi the field. Rosy lipped freshmen seated with what might be a mother, father or at least a Dutch uncle. A mood of weariness on the Prof's brow on resuming the 999 lecture and hearing the same questions and answers. Miss Erickson's infinite tact and patience. Mr. Marquis, the liberating influence. The way of a man and a maid. Wonder if— The ghosts of former students haunt the halls. Profs tire of listening to experiences from the field. Profs feel the emptiness of the years as the class of 1910 re-enters for a third year diploma. Kibbe will ever write a book. Dr. Miller reads Dorothy Parker. Behold these red and stately walls of the Normal school! And yet by a sheer twist of Fate did you miss the agony of pursuing your learned ways in an architectural sanctum of balconies, flowing facades, and pulsating pillars. When the fathers met in conclave to determine the style of this factory of learning in the year 1896, a heated debate ensued between those who wished to trap the spirit of the age in poetical curving architecture, and the more conservative element. The result was our dignified Alma Mater, good for a thousand generations. And yet one can't but think on the spectacle a few years hence, when pedagogues will trip these cloistered walks in beach pajamas and laugh at hoary old Klipsuns depicting the years of trailing gowns swathed about prim old maids. Speaking; of beach pajamas—in our more perverted moments we sometimes wonder at the peculiar psychology that prompts their wearing. Exeunt that chorus of comfort and freedom, we shall grant the point, and wonder nevertheless. Some wise man once observed that all dress in nature had its point, and hard' indeed is the male who doesn't experience some reaction when "this swims, info his ken." Give me a pa jama sister, one with a cosmic urge! INGRATTrUDE Your little lips, So soft and kind; Your little, little. Little mind. When the curtain rings down on the last scene, even the most fortified feels a pang. And since this colyum marks the "30" of my time on The Viking, I, too, sense an emp-t ty and desolate feeling., After eight quarters spent or misspent around the mess of things known as The Viking office, I feel a wave of reminesence coming on, and that would be a bit of childish ignoraiq^ce.

Smith conducted the singing of school songs, "Alma Mater," "The White and Blue," and "Sing a Song." The last, a new song composed by Oliver and Jack Gudmon-" son, is a late addition to the school song list. President Fisher's address followed and in it he emphasized the necessity of play as well as work during the summer quarter. He referred to ' the excellent recreational program which has been prepared for the benefit of the student body for this period. Need Background He stated further that "a teacher must have background"; that it is the aim and purpose of this institution to "give an education as good as can be received in any school," not only in the mechanics of technique and education, but also in such subjects as will enlighten and enrich the life of the teacher—a liberal education as well as a professional one." To quote further: "Education of children must go on—must be not only maintained at its present level but improved in times like these. Causes and remedies of hard times are many. We are depending too much on the material things and not enough on mind and spirit. Only through enlightenment and enrichment of life will we find our way out. No Short Methods " "People have a childlike confidence in the school's ability to help them realize their aims for their children, and we can discharge our obligation to society only by better education." SINGERS ARE COMING MILWAUKEE GLEE CLUB WILL SING HERE ON JUNE 30. The students of the Bellingham Normal school are looking forward to perhaps the most outstanding musical event of the coming year.

TWO INSTRUCT that the Indian artist Tsianina (Chi-nee-na) would be unable to give her program. Three local musicians were solicited to fill in this opening. The trio being used this morning will be composed of Mr. John Roy Williams,' Maude Williams and Mr. Paul Lusterman. They will play the violin, piano, and cello, respectively. Two Instruct, Here Mr. Williams and Mr. Lusterman are special instructors on the Normal faculty, and also teach music to pupils about the city and county. Lusterman has been leading band work at Blaine for some time, while Williams had charge of the pit band at the Mount Baker theater during the recent showings of a musical comedy there. Much regret was expressed by many over the announcement that the Indian singer would be unable to appear. She is a Cherokee-Creek Indian and has been delighting audiences all over with her talent. Outstanding Today Tsianina (pronounced Chi-nee-na) a Cherokee-Creek Indian woman, gave a program of vocal music in assembly this morning. She has a pleasing personality and a voice of beautiful quality, and was well received by her/ audience. Tsianina is not noted for her voice alone. She is probably the most outstanding Indian woman today in general education and in work for the advancement of her people, as well as in music. She was educated in the government schools and the College of Oklahoma and in a private finishing school. For her services during the World war she was cited by the United States government. She is now an active member of the American Legion. . o STUDENTS STAY AT LOVEGREN ---------- Northwest Viking - 1931 June 19 - Page 2 ---------- SSKSiS' NOR: Formerly The Weekly Messenger—Founded 1899 Published evlery Friday except during the month of September, by the Associated Students, Washington State Normal, Bellingham.

JACK GREAVES.. ..Editor ..Business Manager OUR POLICIES Each summer The Northwest Viking reduces its size by one column, leaving the paper as it stands today. During this quarter there are always fewer school activities, making it hard to find enough news to fill the larger paper. We cannot give the students quite the volume of events that we would like to on account of the conditions as they are. It will be necessary from time to time for us to use a considerable amount of feature copy, when news is real slack, but we will make the best of it and turn out a paper that will keep to our usual high standards within the limit of the surroundings that we have to work with. With the many older people enrolled it is going to be a little hard for us to find a feature that is going to appeal to the majority of the people. We invite suggestions from anyone. I. We will continue to be non-partisan as far as factions are concerned, and will back no one candidate at any time for an election. We will, however, take the stand on any all-school issue that we deem vital to the rules and traditions of the students. We will continue to allow anyone to air grievances through the Student Opinion Department, but we reserve the right to censor any part, or all, of these articles, without having to make any explanations. It is our duty to take responsibility for everything entering these columns, regardless of who writes them, which makes it necessary for us to control these contributions. Despite the fact that we have quite a free swing in what we publish, it is also our obligation to keep the welfare of the school in mind. Constantly people attempt to "call" us on the way we handle write-ups, or for not acceding to their "demands" to publish or not to publish. We attempt to co-operate within the rules and regulations we have set down for handling this department. If we act in error we are willing to do everything in our power to correct it, and in the past.when we have proved we were not wrong we have remained silent and have not returned to the "chargers" what they have brought to us, but we do not thank them for it. Therefore we are willing to receive requests, but do not guarantee to follow them to the letter, for we must cope with the existing conditions and cannot make any set rule apply to all matters. More than once we have listed to famous speakers, writers, or merely "fireside conversationalists," all of the "reforming theory" type, state in general that we need another war to lead us from the depression period by reducing our allegedly over-populated country. Recently we received the appalling figures that during eighteen months of the World War 50,500 members of the American Expeditionary Force in France were killed or died of wounds, while 50,190 persons •were killed by automobile accidents during the past eighteen months in the United States. Possibly these "economists" should advocate more automobiles and faster driving. o EXPERIENCED LEARNERS aoi aoi With the start of a new quarter, the school is thrown onto' a basis that will adhere to the general outline of standards of the school, and yet with the change in personnel that occurs each summer, will be somewhat different than the three winter quarters. Plans start in the fall with a bevy of new individuals and a nearly equal number of former students who have not received their diplomas. It follows through the next two quarters with practically the same people, instructors, inter-school athletics, intramural athletics, club meetings, courses of study, social affairs, and the many other activities that are practically the same throughout fall, winter, and spring quarters. Then suddenly the entire situation takes on a new aspect almost overnight, with a great percentage of the students leaving, and a still larger number of students moving in. Most of those not new here have been out and received what experience teaches in the teaching field. They have come back to supplement their original Normal school education with the same type of courses and facilities standing that they had when they were first here. But their faculties for receiving the courses that they will take this summer have been greatly changed—they have, in the main, entirely new viewpoints. In many courses, those that have been teaching will be in receipt of information that they have handily taken in while heading similar classes themselves, while where they aren't familiar from the instructing side, many will know more or less what they need and what is expected of theni, so that in covering the work required they will glean little valuable points that the beginner at Normal doesn't readily seize. Grades are received on the competitive basis, and with a generous representation of these older students it seems certain that the competition would render the necessity of added study and ultimately increased grade standards. We have no figures to warrant such a statement, and yet it seems from most angles that summer courses of study will naturally be more rigid than during the other three quarters. With so many students coming into the school with previous acquaintanceship with many of the students and faculty, things should progress much faster than usual. We greet the students, new and old alike, and hope that the summer will be an enjoyable, as well as a profitable, one. The activity program resembles the regular one of some twenty years ago in the fact that it will be necessary for the students to do a certain amount of their own entertaining. All athletics will be on the intra-school idea, while hikes, dances, and plays will make up the remainder of the organized recreation. ... The school is always strong for the recreational within the institution and has worked up a list that Will give all a chance to participate in some outside activity. They cannot recruit the students to these and it wiA W necessary for all those wishing to enter the fun to seek the vor -"ibriratioa: d e s i r e ^ •._;//:,. •'•y^vi^--::'t,^''Ly^^.:U Well, here tot'are at the last issue. The timtiftas; come when I won't have to be a jest conductor any more. I have filled my pen for the last time out of the dear roomie's ink bottle. Perhaps I'm not the only one in the world to send up a prayer of thanks because the three months' loaf called a quarter is over. About two more lines of this slush and I'll be in tears. Why does everybody get so sentimental in the spring? In spring and summer quarters it isn't the heat that bothers the students—it's the stupidity. Stupidity—h-m, that must be what's bothering me right now. I've been sitting here for five minutes trying to think of a joke that would amuse everybody who read it. But, under the conditions which exist, it seems to be impossible. All that happens is reverie in which I recall the happenings of last week-end— except those jokes I heard. A traveling salesman told me some that should go good in our usual evening bull jest. But^-in the paper? No, sir! They would constitute slander, libel, arson, bigamy, mayhem, and a bowl of soup. Olaf (in witness chair): . I swear to chew the snoose, the whole snoose and nothing but the snoose. So help me, cud. Just in case anybody is interested I have in my possession and am offering for sale the following articles: One 1929 World Almanac. One empty ink bottle. . One slightly used, plug of tobacco, and— : 'fv : gt;. Four dozen pictures of beautiful girls, elegantly inscribed "With love," etc. There are also a few unmentionables which I will show on appointment. I figured that it would be just as well to try to sell the aforementioned goods because after I tried to sell my books back to the Co-op today I found that money doesn't roll up and down the halls of the Normal school. Something should be done about this book situation. And if something isn't done I'm either going to start a Co-op of my own and get rich or I will be a budding young textbook author. Fisherman (on witness stand): I swear to catch the fish, the whole fish, and nothing' but the fish. So help me, Cod. This pun business is growing on me. For a while at home, where I'm considered one of the serious humorists, I was rolling them up and down the aisles with my scintillating wit. Now when I pull a dandy everybody just sits around and yawns. You know, I believe that's what brings on my crying spells. Well, I guess you're right, after all—a graveyard is a stiff proposition. o SALMON BAKE FOB TUESDAY ON DEAD ---------- Northwest Viking - 1931 June 19 - Page 3 ---------- ^ f i l j l P l l j l ^^ '^^^^M^j^^^^^^^^^^^^^^m^^M^^^t-^^^smwMw^, ^ASHIlfemN STATE NORMAL S 1O0L. B E t l ^ ^ WASltti*^ VWWVWfWWWWWW # 3 * By BERT COLE WWWWWVfWWWWWW1 MEN'S FOUR TEAMS HAVE FILED ENTRIES FOR BALL LEAGUE. MANY STARS //eHo, everybody. Well here I am back at it again. It seems as though you cant get some people down. It surely seems good to be Writing sports for you once again. Well here goes for a few noble tries at the old game. SUMMER COACHING STAFF Most of you men in attendance this summer quarter are not acquainted with our Physical Education teachers for this quarter. Why not get acquainted? Here are a few interesting facts about each one: Filling the seat occupied by Sam Carver, who is away on a vacation this summer, we have "Pop" Gunn. 'Top" has acted as assistant coach to Sam Carver for the past two years. He entered this school from Port Orchard. During- the several years he was at Port Orchard he coached high school athletics. I might also say that besides teaching Physical Education he is a student of this institution. He is also a member of the Scholarship So- . ciety. As "Pop's" assistant we have "Dutch" Wilder, who is a graduate of this school. He has been coach' ing for several years throughout the state. For the past year he has been a student here. I am sure if you would get into some intramural sport and become acquainted with these teachers you would find your sports for this summer quarter very much a pleasure and a benefit. BARNYARD GOLF The game of horseshoes will afford many of you fellows an opportunity to exhibit your ability at the favorite old game. It seems to be quite a popular intramural sport, if one is able to judge popularity from the number df players who have signed up. ARE YOU DEAD OR DYING? There doesn't seem to be the interest in intramural sports that there should be. What is the trouble? Are you men not interested in the athletic activities? Please remember this, "What good is your learning without a well developed body?" Haven't you heard similar statements before? Maybe there is something wrong with the program for sports? But I doubt it. The Physical Education department organizes a program of sports, including golf, tennis, basket ball, horseshoes, and hand ball, seemingly to satisfy everyone's desire for physical exercise. They ask you to sign up for the sport in which you are interested. Up to date there are only about a dozen different men signed up. Hasn't the Physical Education department fulfilled its part? Maybe all some of you need is a bit of advice. Well, here it is: Go down in the men's dressing room and sign up immediately for as many sports as you would like to compete in. Try it once and see how much fun it really is. COMPETITION KEEN It seems as though golfing will be a form, of exercise for a good many. Probably the reason for the popularity of the game is the reduction of green fees for all those who are participating for the championship: Competition for the title in this event seems to be rather keen, with Occie Thorsen and Tony Gross, members of the Tri-Normal championship team, competing for the title. INTRAMURAL BASKET BALL Basket ball will be the center of interest for most everyone during the present term. At present there are four teams signed up. The teams are managed by Ed Hunnicutt, Bob Walters, Louis Schaefer, and Nichols. The league needs two more teams so that a suitable schedule can be drawn up. It might be. possible to get one more team organized from the students in schooL The other team could be easily organized by the faculty. If two more teams should respond a much more peppy ball league could, be made. At the present time any team has a chance to win the much prized pennant. • ••• . CREW RACES •• X .- I l^b ri'i Sport Work j! For Summer Session The organization of the men's intramural basket ball league is rapidly nearing completion. Four teams,t comprising a total of thirty meii, are |already waiting the starting' whistle, and Coach Wilder expects at least two more to enter before the opening game, which is scheduled for next Tuesday at 4 p. m. in the little gym. Ten Allotted Each team is entitled to ten players, though it seems to be the consensus of opinion among the managers that teams with fewer members, affording more action to the individual players, is the better plan. The managers of the four teams organized at this writing are Louie Shaffer, "Spud" Hunnicutt, Gordon "Nick" Nichols, and Bob Walters. Arnold Johnson, formerly of the U. of W., is organizing a fifth team. Need Participants Games will be played each Tuesday and Thursday at 4 p. m. in the gym, starting Tuesday, June 23. Officials are urging students to participate in at least one of the numerous athletic activities offered during the present quarter. Manager Hunnicutt has signed the following men for his team: Thorlakson, Gallanger, Haeske, Van- Over, Thorsen, Dressen, and Dick Smith. Manager "Nick" Nichols has also signed seven men: Rumery, Bolton, Trunbul, Falkner, Bushby, Leaden, and Stewart. Swanson, John Smith, McClurken, Weber, Cole, and Campbell have signed under Louie Shaffer as manager. The team which Bob Walters; will manage is made up of the following: Comfort, Gable, Skotheim, Iverson, Thompson, and Davis. Thorsen, McClurken, and Skotheim are former varsity men. Thorlakson played on the super-varsity, and several others listed above have taken active part in, intramural basket ball. Names have not yet been chosen' for the various teams. — o Students Are Hurt In Recent Accident On Nearby Highway USE LADDER^PLAY SYSTEM TO DETERMINE WINNERS/ Dip Hour falls as before on every Thursday evening from 7 to 9 o'clock at the Y. W. C. A. This hour is one phase of the recreational program sponsored by the Belling-ham State Normal school. Beginners are taken care of from 7 -till 8 each Thursday, with Miss Genther, swimming instructor for the Normal school, being on hand to coach. From 8 to 9, immediately following the beginners' class, the advanced group will swim, and if they, wish, organize a life saving class, also to be coached by Miss Genther. Due to the size of the tank only a limited number of girls may be taken care of, therefore it is necessary to sign up if one wishes to attend. The first twenty persons signing the list appearing on the Physical Education bulletin board opposite Room 17 each Thursday morning, will be allowed to attend that night. Miss Genther urges the girls to take'an interest in Dip Hour and make it a social as well as recreational hour. She states that later on, perhaps, play nights may be arranged on which there will be contests and feats of swimming in which all girls interested in swiniming might meet together to take part — o Penmanship Displayed By Rice This Week The Physical Education department is offering an extensive athletic program for the summer quarter., Golfjj fcennis, handball, and horseshoes are offered on the ladder play system. Drawings for the ladder play were held Thursday, but if any failed to sign up it is still possible for them to enter the list. Leaders Challenged Challenges are issued by those whose names are one or two rungs below the name of the person challenged. If the challenger is victorious the names of the combatants are exchanged on the respective rungs of the ladder. A tournament of match play will be conducted later in the summer between the six highest men on the golf ladder. Golf enthusiasts will be pleased to learn that a special rate of 25 cents (Sundays and holidays excepted) has been offered Normal students by the Lakeway golf course. Those wishing to take advantage of this rate should secure cards from Coach Gunn at the P. E. office. Keen competition is expected in golf, with Oscar Thorsen and Tony Gross, members of the winning Tri- Normal championship team this spring, both in school. 1 o, ::SMbse Havingfr^gfa Between six and seven hundred women students have been scheduled for health examinations this quarter. Doctors C. R. Teel and F. C. Rykken are doing the examining, which started last Wednesday and will continue through next week. Only those girls registered this quarter who have had physical examinations either last September or since then are excused. Interesting Note Dr. S. A. McFetridge, who examined the student teachers in the training school last.Monday, made an interesting and significant observation that the older women are in better physical condition than the younger women and girls. He states that this is probably due to the fact that they observe the fundamental health rules more diligently. In one instance he examined a woman 57 years old who, during the past twelve years of teaching, had missed only one day of school. Dr. McFetridge commented that this is an unusual record and one of which she may be proud. o Hostess:; I've got a new maid coming to see me tomorrow. Caller: How delightful!

Five Groups £ The affair began with a grar|| march led by President and Mip C. H. Fisher. After the march tip crowd separated into five diyisioijf; representing different parts "of tbJe state; and then each division presented a stunt for the enjoymer|; of the others./ Following the stunts the dancing began, to the strains of music furj nished by Barney's orchestra frotii Seattle.

Born in Seattle Although he was born in Seattle, he has spent enough of his time in Bellingham to be safely called a "local product." ., Athletics have always taken the uppermost hand in Thorson's mind. As long as anyone can remember, Thorson has been a name in connection with some pastime in athletics, even back in the time when marbles, in a quiet way, was "the game." Thorson has played on the basketball, (baseball), and football teams at the Normal ever since his entrance. Golfer De Luxe At the present time, golf is his hobby and main interest in life, and he can usually be located on the course vainly trying to "send the little pill rolling down the hill." (If anyone should inquire, it usually rolls, too, with a vengeance.) He made no statement about the fatal subject of girls, but a casual observer could readily see that he is not overly interested in them. Oh, well, didn't Kipling say, "Girls are all of vacant mind," or was it Shakespeare? Classes Are Divided To Take Care of Load Washington State Normal students, who train to take charge of school libraries where they teach, have an advantage over students in many other Normal schools in that they have for their laboratory one of the largest and best libraries of children's literature in the Northwest. There are 4,000 volumes in this library. The children of the training school also use this library for reference reading and for a great amount of recreational work. o —— Girl (at florist's): "Have you any passion poppy? Elderly Clerk: Gol ding! Just you wait 'till I lay these roses down. So many students have signed up for work in the Industrial Art department that the classes are full and some have had to be divided. Mr. Ruckmick's class in photography is overflowing, while Miss Wilson's la class, scheduled for 2 o'clock, has been divided and the second group meets at 1 o'clock. Many Studies This divided class is studying Hebrew life. Group 1 has taken up the study of the tools, utensils, food, clothing and records of Hebrew life, while Group 2 is studying Hebrew community life. The lb Industrial Art class is studying the tools, utensils, food, clothing, and records of the people of mediaeval Europe. The Rural Industrial Art class is making a study of Indian life.

A. 4 - Have you noticed how many fresh there are frosh from high school? (Shucks, after beginning this new '•". quarter we're sort of topsyturvy.) But there are quite a number of youthful frosh here, venturing for .the first time to a higher institution "•"' of learning. ' The local high schools yielded a nice crop of green ones, who are sprouting diligently under the influence of Normal behavior. :.-•—•.•: Do you remember, old-timers, when you first entered this Normal-by- the-sea-arid-mountaihs, how insignificant you felt? After coming immediately from a "high" where you were a high and mighty senior, you entered as a mere freshman, unknown, unheralded—-just one in a lot of freshmen. This quarter, however, the freshmen are going to get a break. We won't treat you as green, unlearned outsiders, but rather we welcome you. as one of us and expect you ^to pack up some of your secondary school- ways and relics and join us in doing things in the 1931 bigger college way! Y._':'- -'."V-'-_-w.s,N^s^-; One of our main dims in this institution is not only to gain an education, not' only to study for our own sake, but to make it easier for others to gain knowledge through study. X^entle hint to frosh: There is an old tradition of courtesy obeyed by all students of this school, to make it easier for your fellow worker to study in our fine new library. In other Words, the dignity and studious atmosphere lent by the building itself, carries through to the students, and it is a sacrilege to use it for a place to play around") —W.S.N.S.— It is predicted that a few years hence, radio will play a great part in the educational systems throughout the states. Eeven today, intense interest is being shown in education by broadcast. Pamphlets sent out to teachers proved that, in general, educational broadcasts are finding favor with the schools. Teachers confirmed emphatically the general theory, that to be a significant educational factor, radio broadcasts must stimulate-the pupils to related activities. It is indicative of . tlie contemporary interest in the creative work of school children in that more than l.-OOO original poems were sent in as a result of a program conducted by Edwin Markham, who read' selections from his own writings. The dramatizations of historic episodes -stimulated several groups of pupils to dramatize other events. Teachers stated that through the radio, interest was promoted in debating,, folk lore and; music, and in geographical studies and activities; Isolated rural schools especially welcome gt; these : educational broadcasts. .The Columbia• Broadcasting System, Inc., will broadcast a new i'93i: program of five programs ft week Insfcead^ofvtwoV and,the; : pre-grams will; be differentiated for the grade groups, such as primary, intermediate, junior and Mnibr high school. WILLMEETi GAME lON: WHATCOM; FLOOR; TIGHT DEFENSE EXPECTED OF VISITING QUINTET. LINE-UP IS NOT DECIDED The Varsity basketball team goes on the floor Saturday night for their first regular game of the '31 season against Centralia Junior college; The game is- to be played on%he Whatcom floor. Coach Carver has not announced his starting line-up and probably will follow his custom of naming the team just before game time. As one guess is as good as another, the line-up may include -Thorsen and Dixon at forwards; Abbot, center, and Rork and Skotheim in the back court. This line-up has been used in preliminary work-outs before but Carver may try another combination. • John Dixon may not be ready for a full game, as he is just recovering from the flu, however, the rest of the squad are in fine physical condition. Vikings Look Good The Vikings look just as good and maybe a little better than they did last year. There is a better scoring threat for .one thing. The game with the Bellingham Athletic Club showed that the boys-have scoring power, with the guards tossing in their share of the baskets. Jim Rork scored twenty points in this game, while Thorsen and Skotheim are showing ability toward hitting the loop from the guard positions. Sherman may start at one of the forward posts. He is a good shot and has had a lot, of experience, having played on three of the best Anacortes teams when in high school and in two state tournaments. The Viking defense is another thing. Most of the time they check well but now and then in their anxiety to score, they play a little too lose and let their opponents in for easy shots. Coach Carver is stressing this phase of the game and hopes to have a tight defense for the Centralians. Nothing is known as to the, strength of the visitors. Mr. Ed Rairdon, a former Viking athlete, is coach of the J. C.'s. His team put up a great fighting battle on the grid last fall, so we may expect plenty of action on the floor. It will be a case of the old ;teachef meeting his pupil, as Rairdbh played for the Normal under Carver several years/ ago.. Nothing "would please NEW:iKLIPSyN COVER INSPECTED BY STAFF AT* BUSINESS MEETING Last Wednesday the staff of this, year's Klipsun held a meeting to talk with Mr. Fred Miller, representing the Blake-Moffitt Towne Paper Company, and to make assignments. The cover that has been, selected for this year's annual was shown to the group at this time. It is something new in the history of the school, for it is of a cloth binding instead of the usual imitation leather covering that has been, used in the past years. The design of .the cover is being kept secret, but ,it is to be finished in a blue and silver, the air brushing system being used in the coloring. The other work is progressing at a rapid rate, reports Suzanne Waters, editor of the annual, and the members of the staff are keeping up with their schedules, which will make it possible to have this year's annual ready for distribution by, the latter part of May. o ___ LEUNING TO APPEAR IN LOCAL ASSEMBLY LYRIC SOPRANO TO PRESENT PROGRAM NEXT TUESDAY.

She started singing and attaining attention in the Canadian cities of Winnipeg, Victoria, and Vancouver. This was some fifteen years ago. At the age of 19 she joined a light opera company and in six weeks was prima donna. Several Scholarships She has secured several scholarships in music schools and has taken leading' roles in some of the large operas that have been presented in the East. She has been complimented particularly on the wonderful way that she is able to handle the exacting features of Mozart's music. . lt; After listening to one of the New York operas, Pitts Sanborn, of the New*York.Telegram, stated that "the best voice heard last night was the soprano of Miss Ethel Codd Luening."

Vincent, representing Jukes, Incorporated, holder of. the contract for photographic work on the Klipsun, was..present at tthe Board of Control .meeting last Tuesday afternoon, and replied to the complaints made by Quentin, Quick, student body president. Quentin Quick explained the position of the students who had found cause to complain of the photographic work. "Some students when desiring a resitting were not granted it, as Jukes considered their work satisfactory." The answer of the studio was that the resittings were desired because the students wanted a change in clothing or arrangement of their hair. This was considered a new picture and not a resitting. Mr. Vincent explained from his viewpoint the difficulty that some students have had and offered to cancel his contract if the explanation was not accepted as satisfactory by the Board. The members decided to accept his report and the contract will remain with Jukes. The Board charged the following one-dollar-apiece lor" their resettlngs," as it considered the photographers not at fault for the necessity of a resetting. They are: Betty Schmidt, Fay Davis, Janet Ferguson, Irene Wilson, Nellie Parker, Jane Eyre, Sadie Margolis, Jean Fergusen, and R. L. Heaton. John Rajala and Howard Wilder, the committee for choosing the Rec hour orchestra, reported that the orchestra tryouts will be held this evening in the gym at the regular Friday Rec hour. Air of the Board of Control members were present, but the report- of Sam Ford on the Student Co-op was postponed again. It was decided to have the report next week. — 0 ;—•— SKI CLUB CONVENES ON SATURDAY NIGHT GERMAN PICTURE FEATURED IN BAKER CLUB PROGRAM.

";'': ^ 500,000 Square Miles Visibfe ;! Byrd is 'unique among explorers in that his use of the' airplane made it possible for him to amass scientific data of inestimable value: in several fields. Where previous polar explorers had been able to survey perhaps eight' miles bri either side of their path, Byrd, through • the use of the airplane, was able to look" down on a visible area of! 500,000 square miles. Experts in each of several fields of scientific study were selected to make the trip with Byrd. Each man made a study of the scope of his work and the instruments which would be nefeded. An interesting phase of t h e scientific investigations is found in the fact that many of the most valuable instruments were designed and built from available material after the party had reached the Antarctic. One of the most sensational results of t he expedition was t h e number of photographs which were taken. A large number of the motion pictures were arranged and released by a prominent producer, but many of the most unusual pictures were reserved for Byrd to use in connection with his lectures. Camera Shutters Freeze Photographs were made under almost impossible conditions. In describing the photography, Byrd told of how the motion picture cameras were' carried PPPPP

Further, in all these cases to form a right judgment— to Mi the mark—is the office of an educated man." W.S.N.S. Then, too, there are the flower gardens'many of the girls are wearing. W.S.N.S. Nikola Tesla, electrical genius, splitter of atoms, said in a recent interview on his 75th birthday that he was working now on two things: one of natural phenomena which he believes will disprove the Einstein theory; the other a new "source of energy" and "a means that will make it possible for man to transmit energy in large amounts from one planet to another regardless of distance.".. He promises a definite statement in "a few weeks or a few years." Tesla believes that inter-planetory communication will even* tually be realized. W.S.N.S.- But, speaking of energy, were it possible to focus all the mental energy expended, during the last two weeks of any quarter, upon something of real value, what might not be accomplished ? W.S.N.S. Dr. R. A. McParland, of Columbia University, has recently made some experiments which show the effect on the mental state of the control of the supply of oxqgen. An insufficient supply of oxygen brings about emotional behavior and a breaking down of inhibitions as well as the change in neuro-muscular control which is quite similar to the effect of alcohol. -W.S.N.S. Wonder how long it will be he-fore some enterprising young man commercializes the idea and makes a fortune. W.S.N.S. It's very interesting to know whence we came; bat, possibly, its more important to know whither we're bound. APPEARED HERE WITH PLYMOUTH QUARTET— ACCOMPANIST LED BY QUARTET. FAVORED COMMENTS The Normal students will hail with pleasure the return of Miss Ruby Ohmah, contralto, for an assembly cert, next Tuesday. Miss Ohman has won wide artistic recognition throughout the West. As soloist with the Los Angeles Philharmonic orchestra, she was acclaimed as a singer of unusuai attainments and beautiful voice. Done Symphony Work She has also acted as soloist with the Glehdale Symphony orchestra and the Hollywood Symphony orchestra. Both here and abroad, she has had the recognition of such great international artists as Lauri Volpi, Benjamin Gigli, Madam Maria Gai, and others, as well as leading directors and composers. The return of Ardille Belstad, her accompanist, will also be welcomed. Mr. Belstad is director of the Plymouth Congregational church choir in Seattle/as well as accompanist for the Plymouth quartet. Good Comments The following is what the Los Angeles Evening Express says of Miss Ohman: "In the delicate and tender Thomas' aria, as in the broader love song of Saint-Saens, Miss Ohman exhibited good French diction and a general feeling for the differing moods that enhanced the loveliness of her timbres." Miss Ohman is a Seattle girl and received her early musical education there. She has also studied in New York and Europe.

I itf' lt;Ss Health with which to carry on the fight for existence, a sense of humor with which to meet the vicissitudes Of fortune, and intelligence with which to cope with the intricate problems Of modern life, are the basic requisites of The Ideal of the opposite sex as shown by ah analysis of the returns from a questionnaire submitted recently to one hundred students attending school this quarter. Have Sympathy The Ideal man must next possess "sympathetic understanding" and "thoughtfulness". The Ideal woman must have a "background in the finer arts of cooking," which would seem to bear ouf the old adage that a man's heart is still surrounded by his stomach. Hope to those who as yet have failed to find "God's most precious gift," is offered in the following responses from married students: Prefers Own "I began something on that questionnaire and then threw it away. I prefer my own wife." ". . . . her personality must blend with mine, we must have something in common, but not too much; and our ideas on the all important subject of the home must coincide at least in part. "And, by the way, I've found her." Many Tastes Further specifications for the ideal man range from "big hands and feet," an aversion to "suspenders, golf knickers, or derbied," "ball-toed shoes and box coats," all the way to "no snoring/' silent imbiber of "coffee of soup," the ability to "bake baking powder biscuits," "and eat and eat and eat and eat/' In this oft-termed materialistic world, he may be "a Christian, but (Continued on Page Three) Miss Winnie Spieseke, of the Social Science department, spoke Tuesday before Mr. Pelagius Williams' class in the History of the Orient, on the subject of "Japan." Spent Time Abroad Miss Spieseke spent the year of 1927-28. abroad in study and travel, completing a trip around the world before returning to the United States. She confined her talk to the social habits and customs of the people of Japan as she observed them at close range.. Emphasize Education The Japanese are giving great emphasis to education, although the public"shcool facilities are quite inadequate. Two factors which are outstanding in the national educational program are the teaching of the English language, and giving the school children the opportunity to visit the beauty and historical spots in the Empire. For the latter purpose three-day excursions are taken by teachers and pupils from time to time, reduced rates at hotels and on railroads being given to such parties. Describes Shop The out-of-door shops, movies, and native inns were described in interesting detail. Miss Spieseke did not climb to Fujiyama, as the mountain was not in view during her stay in Japan. However, she expressed the desire to return at some later date for the climb, as It is not a difficult feat even for the aged and corpulent, because "Pushers" are always available to help one to the top. It is quite unlikely that Miss Spieseke will ever be in need of a "Pusher." o • Ivarson Sings Varied Program in Regular Tuesday Assemblage Herman Holt Ivarson presented a fine program of vocal music in last Tuesday's assembly. In a beautiful, bass-baritone voice of vibrant quality, Mr. Ivarson sang selections that varied from the classical music of Handel to the sweet hegro spirituals and the appealing song, "Tommy Lad". Program Broadcast The program was broadcast over station KVOS. Mr. Ivarson is an experienced radio performer, having sung for various stations near his home, Rochester, Minn.

The last assembly of this quarter, on Friday, August 21, promises to be one of the most interesting of all. At this time the well-known Bellmgham Little Symphony orchestra will make its first, appearance this summer at the Normal school. Smith Conducts This forty-piece orchestra is made up of players from the Normal, from the town, and nine players from the Seattle Symphony orchestra. Harold B. Smith, head of the Normal school Music department, is the conductor. The following selections are among those on the program, and give an idea of the musical treat in store for those who attend the assembly: Egmont Overture Beethoven Beautiful Blue Danube Waltz Strauss Suite Algeriene Saint-Saens Rosamunde, Ballemusik and Extracts Schubert o Baxter Signs With Portland Cement Co.

We wish them all luck in their new positions, particularly the three editors. Chapman, Hill, and Dowell. We hope that their publications are all successes and attain the standards which have been kept in the past. When the tennis courts are full, the hardest people to deal with are the outsiders and not the students. The Rec hour tonight is the last one scheduled this quarter. With the above as a little reminder, we advise everyone to turn out and make it a real evening. No weeping allowed as the adios are given. Which reminds us that we should have another of the "goodbye" mixers that have proved so popular at the end of the past three quarters. This system of having a dance and party on the night before school closes for the quarter, was started at Christmas time in the form of a Christmas party. It proved its worth when the same type of dance was held during the Winter and Spring quarters. We have made inquiries as to the feasibility of having one next week, and learned that the Board is considering such action, but didn't have the opportunity to bring it up at the last meeting, due to the volume of business. According to the president of the Association, there is some doubt if the Board will have enough funds left in the social "pocket" for this extra dance. This condition is partly due to the admitting of the students free to the last play, which had not been provided for in the budget. If the Board could possibly make provisions for this dance, we would like to see them do it. We have even suggested that they charge the students a "jitney* to help make up the needed sum. Thre are many students who have re-made acquaintancse this summer, and it would be nice to provide a big farewell for the students who will not return for some time. It is interesting to note that this Rotary district, of which the Bellingham Rotary club is a member, is planning to form a scholarship board, in order that two Japanese youths can be educated in American universities. A Texas judge fines self for illegal parkings Can you picture a Nor-malite tearing up his exam paped because he "borrowed" an answer or two? Each week it seems as though city officials are taking steps to place a ban on one of the nearby "swimmin' holes." No doubt there is a good reason each time that such a measure is passed, but we hate to see it. We have taken notice of the popularity of swimming here in Bellingham, as well as the popularity of some of the spots for bathing. It is a shame that some of these places that are so easily reached, must fall before the ban axe. It is just taking that much joy away from swimmers of varied ages, although they can seek "holes" in other districts. The handiness, though, of the nearby "holes" is part of their good features. Most of these closings are due to health problems in regard to drinking water. Health problems should come first; but all in all, it is too bad that the creeks are in such a condition. BOARD (Continued from Page One) Old Adag^Fqolpfbo! - Initials No Pbihter Taboo Lies in Name Initials! Everyone can recall the. old saying which runs, "Fools' names and fools' faces are always found in public places!" We've had it lectured to us for years, and yet i we sometimes wonder if trie old saying takes in initials. (For if it does, sad thought, the vast majority of the people running loose in every institution of learning could easily be termed as fools.) Counts Initials The other day we started counting the number of initials we could find in and around the expanse of our dear old Alma Mater, the Normal school. We sprawled luxuriously in a chair to decide where to make our start and found it covered with the very objects of bur intended search. Initials! Thousands of them! Two intimate ones coupled by a romantic but slightly inaccurate thing which, we surmised, was meant to be a heart; a wabbly one scratched by a pin and bending^, frightfully at each corner; a carefully carved one, very straight and very—shall we say precisely—done; one drawn out defiantly on a waving banner and stretching nearly all the-way across'5 the arm of the chair; and one barely visible in timid pencil marks. We sighed and marched on. Catches Idea A table caught our eye, and after scraping gum from the edges we counted the initials one by,one.^Th? same old types little varied, except perhaps a few more, because the table offered a larger area for the killing. We looked around us; the very walls contained an innumerable amount of them. One so high we could barely reach it, and one so low that it might have been done by an innocent ant who was hurrying by. Picked Book We picked up a book and idled through its pages—there they were! Staring and glaring triumphantly; scrawled, printed, written, and dug into the depths of the volume. A girl hurried by, throwing us a curious look as we reposed wearily on a step staring into space. We caught glimpses of initials—two on her trim sandals, several on her jaunty cap, and a few on her lazily swung tennis racquet! Gain Rest We started on, but, changing our minds, we sank upon a windowsill to further our rest. It was literally, covered with initials. We read a few of them and passed on. We tackled the telephone booth next, and were duly startled. Numbers, names, letters, and initials were all there; new ones, old ones, bright ones, and worn ones; scratched, so to speak, on the sands of time. We went out of the building, viewing, as we went, more of the little scrawls at noticeable angles on g e impressive door. With heads that swamj, we started toward home; thinking, as we trudged along, that the old saying must mean names and that it couldn't possibly throw even a suspicion on initials; for initials, we decided dizzily, were the theme-song of the moderns. ^ ' o In Ashland, Wis., a charivari has been carried on for 16 nights, all because the bridegroom has refused to answer the fifteen-dollar demands of the "serenaders."

Thanks Voted Sivert Skotheim presented a report on the Victoria trip; and in accepting this, the Board voted its thanks to both Skotheim and Mr. E. A. Bond for their efforts directed toward the staging of the excursion. Nellie Cox, Blue Book chairman, submitted the bids of the printing companies, and Board gave the contract to Anstett Printing Company at the figure of $140.25. Other bids were: VUnion Printing Company $152, and Miller Sutherlen $164. President Empowered The Board agreed to pay the twelve hour janitor bill for additional work done on the Big gym following Rec hours. President Colin Campbell was given power to appoint a chairman for tlie Fall quarter Student Mixer, which will be held at the Arrhory the first, weekibf the; new quarter; GRADUATES (Continued from Page One) for four quarters, and Bob Walters, who automatically gives up the chair this quarter on account of the four-quarter limitation.

Further comment reflected the fact that it is not a case of giving out jobs of the "winding the clock" variety, but that instead, the players, showing a desire to come here and get work, are willing to put in the labor. o o We believe that. There are few players these days that are puffed-enough to think that they can be "paid" to play football. Naturally, that is the impression that is built up about college players; but we mean to have nothing to do with any comments either way on that situation. Our refusal to express opinion about the "paid" athlete is the factor that differentates us from other sport writers. We admit we don't know.

In the matches already played, Thorsen defeated Kirk, Hale won from Reeves, Dingerson beat Hun-nicutt, Wilder won from Large, Beighle conquered Skotheim, Gunn bested Keplinger, and ;Thompsori eliminated Olds. Pedersen had no opponent in this round. Three Score Well In the next round, Dingerson, Wilder, and Gunn made the course in fewer strokes than Thompson, Pedersen, or Hale found necessary. Thorsen, Dingerson, and Hale lost to the golf team sent by the University of Washington lasti.weefcj., Dingerson was the only man on the Viking golf team who defeated his opponent, "Benny" Mitchell, an ex- Normalite. Wednesday, Thorsen, Dingerson,, and Beighle journeyed to Seattle for, a return match. Keplinger, D. Smith, and Granger, who represented the Normal in the tournament with the University of Washington held here last week, were defeated by the net stars who were playing for the Seattle institution Wedensday. NORMALITE (Continued from Page One) Not to ramble from the point of the athletes' willingness to put in the hours for the money that they receive, we further state that with conditions of the country as they are, students wishing to go on to school consider it a "big check" if they can get even a Mile special consideration in securing a job. o——o None of them are entertaining ideas that jobs are plentiful even if they can win 'ball games. They know that they are fortunate in getting any help that they can, and consequently, we have no doubts that the statements of the coaches are correct. The athletes are agreeable to hard work for their money or we miss our guess. The backfield looks promising. Flowers, Iverson, and Shelton will he there, and they wear two stripe sweaters. In case you don't know it, they.are all very good veterans. Speaking of those three brings to mind the fact that Art'Brunsted is in town.

Iverson Takes First Place in Tennis Play From Lyle Summers A big upset took place on the tennis ladder when Ing Iverson wrested the top rung from Summers, who has held the much coveted position during the past few weeks.

From our infancy, we have had this trite saying dinned into our ears—when we demanded the sixteenth piece of pie. We always thought there was something very queer about the whole thing. We have also heard that the eyes are the windows of the soul. We don't know so much about souls, but we have a hunch that the eyes are the explorers of the stomach— or at least the searching party. Now, we ask you: What is the stimulus when the exploring eye lights upon cake covered with chocolate frosting and sprinkled with nuts? In case you guess right, what would be the proper response to said stimulus? Well, we happen to know it's a perfectly good stimulus. In fact it's a grand one. When any such can fool a psychology prof of many years standing, and drag forth a response which breaks a vow religiously kept for five years—especially if this vow involves no food after six o'clock*—it's a wow! Are we right?1: Sandwiches can't do it! Pickles can't do it! Angel's food, cocoanut, or any of those plain confections are but puny stimuli, easily resisted. But when the eye of said prof betrays him into consciousness of CAKE, covered with chocolate and nuts? we ask you to guess what happens! (In case you can't, ask Mr. Kibbe.) Of course, one must be polite and not show disdain for the food that the kind, hostess has provided. But who wants to be polite about sandwiches? And pickles easily can be concealed in the pockets, to be later disposed of in an appreciative ash can. With chocolate covered cake— well, it's different.

Dishes Attract A little investigation reveals the fact that loosening father's purse-strings is not the popular occupation of the "Hilltoppers," at any rate. Dishwashing noses it out as a money-making proposition! It seems a common fallacy on the part of non-professionals to look upon the would-be teacher as a rather affluent individual who drains the sweet cup of life without tasting the dregs. Let them once see such an idler emerging in a gray haze from the depths of an ashy furnace, burdened with waste cinders and clinkers; or charging up and down with a musically inclined lawn mower among the summer flowers—Then illusion will melt away in the blazing sun. Wood splitting produces the same reac tion. To Be Tried Let them sit in on an evening of child-tending, while the student wearies her brain in what is nine times out of ten a vain effort to convince little Algie that "if he weeps, he weeps alone," though the argument becomes less convincing after three hours of it; or listen at the keyhole as the more brilliant scholar attempts to prepare the less brilliant for an impending crisis by intensive tutoring. Job becomes a character of lesser importance by contrast. Then there are those who cultivate their "root of evil" by driving room-mate or family insane with activities upon a typewriter; others who contrive more or less musical effects upon piano, saxophone, cornet, or what have you, and make money at it. "Hashing" and waiting table are ever-present jobs, it being a peculiarity of the human race to take nourishment three times daily to keep the machinery clicking. Janitor work is another common form of employment, with library work and clerking listed near it. Many teachers employ assistants, and the Research department offers work correcting papers for many. The list spins itself out indefinitely,; though the more unusual "scoops" are carefully guarded by their holders to cut down competition. And still the blase' onlooker smiles when he sees a class chasing butterflies on the hill-top, and mutters sardonically, "They have it soft, don't they?" ! .—•——o- '.'• THREE TAKE SEATTLE JOURNEY Marie Kelly, Neita Fronik, and Rose Lakow spent the week-end in iSeattle. —_ o PEDERSON VISITS SISTER RECENTLY i Esther Pedersen visited her sister in Seattle last week-end. •*•• o—: PARfcETT CAMPS WITH FRIENDS Thelma Parlett camped with friends and relatives on Whidby Island last Saturday and Sunday.
