NIGHT TENNIS YE DIARY —Bob Walters SWING ELECTION TO DARK HORSE ENTRY Eleven Candidates Divided Offices. Groups Will Vie for Positions in Coming- Election. Oar Business Manager has fallen heir to a new and larger desk, and we now have control of the old one. I t doesn't happen to be quite large enough, but we can clump our feet on it and it does add prestige to the job. Which reminds us, that the Bus. Mgr. is also the concoctor of "Ye Diary" each week. W. S. N. S. An article "What'll I Do Now", by Rita S. Hale, is appearing in the April issue of McCall's magazine. It is based on an interview with a big corporation executive. I t brings out the fact that we have come to look on colleges as a high type of employment agency. The graduate no longer has to go from door to door looking for a position, as the corporation* representatives now come to the colleges for employees. Those that are selected for the bigger jobs are usually in the upper 15 to 20%, but as grades are not all that are concerned the; per cent usually increases. The| sought ones are not only judged by ' .their scholastic records, but by their all around standards, including personality, activities, and looks. ...^ ..r— W. S. N. S. ~" ' ! Which is in keeping- with the fact t h a t those now hiring teachers, feel that they want teachers who are active, energetic, and., who show nice qualities of personality. Another thing that counts is personal appearance. We believe that appearance is often neglected by Normal students, and that it would be wise, to keep this in mind when we are job seeking. W. S. N. S. SUMMERS MAY RUN Election Had Been Scheduled for Today,.but Was Postponed Owing to Change in the Point System. Achievement Tests For New Students Come Next Tuesday A number of colleges are now placing flood ilghts about their tennis courts so that night tennis can be played. Some would like to see that done here, but in view of the drawing power of the courts in the day time and the fact that night study is most conducive'when there are no outside attractions, it probably would handicap most of us if such lights were installed here. -W. S. N. S. M. K. M. started., a., near., riot among the boys with her scathing "student opinion" against the men's lounging room. We are all for the club room, and as the former Nor-malite chef also pulled strongly for it, we take this opportunity 'to inform Miss M. K. M. that Normalite is club-room minded. :—W. S. N. S. Just as various groups were beginning to prophecy the outcome of the coming student body election, an entirely new light was thrown on the situation by the nomination of Lyle Summers to succeed himself as president. Whether he will ignore the Cool-idge policy of not wanting to change a precedent, or whteher he Will take the "I do not choose to run" attitude, Mr. Summers did not state in an interview following the nominations. The election was tentatively slated for today but the date was changed at a special meeting of the Board of Control. The candidates were to have been approved on the basis of grades and the point system. The board plans to make some changes in this system, and in the means of weighing the merits of the various officers. It was impossible to get this settled this week, as the faculty meeting was postponed on account of the absence of President C. H. Fisher, and well as several other faculty members. At the close of the nominations last Tuesday there were eleven listed to enter the race for the three offices, namely, that of president, vice president, and a four quarter representative to the Board of Control. Out of that group there are five students seeking the presidential chair. Owing to the large number of nominees for the comparatively small numbers of voters a little organization and .campaigning on the part of the individual candidates' boosters, may swing the lead to a dark horse. Several of the candidates had backers grouped together and bidding strongly for the vote of the undecided. Posters and signs are also slated to make their appearance. Those who have been nominated for president are: Quentin Quick, Charles Gerold, Curtis Bell, Charles Dowell, and Lyle Summers; for vice president, Mary McDonald, and Chloris Fischer, and for four-quarter representative, Arthur Grav-rock, William Kendrick, and Earl Hutchins.' : o— Next Tuesday from four to five o'clock the Stanford Achievement tests in Arithmetic Reasoning, Arithmetic Computation, Spelling, and English Usage will be given. The following day, Wednesday, tests in History, Geography, and Penmanship will be given. It is necessary to take and pass all of the tests to get into the Training school. With the exception of Penmanship, students are given four chances to pass the tests. A small charge is to be paid at the third and fourth trials. A failure in Penmanship requires the student to obtain a passing grade in one of the Penmanship courses. These tests are graced according to a new scale which was made out in the fall quarter. o TUESDAY ASSEMBLY TO BE SPONSORED BY SCIENCE DEPT, IN DRAMA CLUB PLAY Philippi, Quick, Du Bois, Dewey, and Howell Also Rate Parts in Drama at Last Night's Tryout. WILL PLAY "THE YOUNGEST' Play by Philip Barry, Is Genuinely American. Dreaming "Youngest" Is Thwarted by Practical Family. Appointment Bureau Places Nine People ^ In Teaching Positions Sundquist Will Deliver Lecture on Activities at the Friday Harbor Camp Slides Will Depict Life. STATION IS FAMOUS BOARD HEARS PLANS OF TRACK PROGRAM Final Arrangements for Souvenir Programs Made;. Price Not to Exceed Twenty-five Cents. Tuesday morning, April 15, the regular assembly hour will be devoted to an illustrated lecture by one of the members of the Science department, Miss Leona Sundquist. Her talk will be on the work done by the Normal School in connection with the University of Washington at the Puget Sound Biological Station at Friday Harbor. The slides used will show scenes of the camp life led there by students during the summer, of classes in action, and of the buildings maintained by the. Station. Every summer a group of students wo are ntereted n the work of thes who are interested in the work of the Science department and who are doing third-year work, with instructors of the department, attend the sessions. The Puget Sound Station is known throughout the United States as one of the foremost in the biological field. Many interesting specimens of marine life have been discovered there, and each year the station is visited by men prominent in the scientific professions. A lecture of this type .is given at intervals to stimulate an interest in and to enable those students who are doing advanced work to know something about activities at Friday Harbor. Tryouts for the spring quarter Drama club play "The Youngest" were held last night and with the cast chosen rehearsals will begin immediately. Philip Barry, the author of this delightful comedy, is one of America's young playwrights who has been ever moving towards the pln-acle of success. His play are genuinely American, his dialogue to the point, witty, with a spicy touch of slang. In "The Youngest" he has with ease and humor portrayed the continued repressions of the youngest son whose aspirations to become a writer are scoffed at by a practical family. He stands much, but when they put him out of his room, lock up his manuscripts, and cut off his allowance, well—the worm turns, and things happen. There is another reason though; behind him is Nancy, cleverly pushing him on and manouvering the whole family. The youngest finds her-out, misinterprets her real motive, and then —perhaps more things happen. No less than nine people have secured teaching, positions during the past, week, according to reports of the Appointment Bureau. Mabel Knapp is teaching the third grade in Greenacres, Washington; Nellie Olson has the Otter Creek school, a rural school in Lewis county; Shir-ley~ Brown is teaching grades one to four in the Evalina school; while Marjorie Coventon is located in Port Angeles. Dawn T. Goodnough and Olive Goldman have been placed at Long-branch, teaching grades 5 to 8 and grades 1 to 4, respectively. Thelma Mears has the intermediate grades in Anacortes, Charles K. Erickson is teaching in Snohomish, and Verna Scrimsher has the primary grades at Guemes. o WOMEN'S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION DANCE IS GREAT SUCCESS Spring Showers Idea Is Feature in Decorations Through Medium of Rainbows and Umbrellas.

The money made will go toward the payment of Viqueen Lodge on Sinclair Island. Brilliant umbrellas hung from the ceiling and a rainbow at one end of the floor emphasized the Spring idea. Coming in lightly flowered dresses the girls added much to the dance, giving it color and life. Programs were effective, with their purple backgrounds and gold design. The plate on the front was designed with a very little girl under a huge umbrella and drops of rain falling all around. Ann Swanson, Chairman Music was furnished by the "Rec Hour" orchestra, but because Wayne Priem, pianist, was ill, the boys had to play with other piano players and without organized practice.

Even shadow has a beauty with the deep green hue of springtime, earth is waking, smiling, sparkling; life begins again to grow. Sunlight's sultry summer splendor never thrills like this of springtime; now a scented, /golden beauty seems poured out on all around—golden, green the hill above us, golden city, bay below, with a breath of breeze that ripples sun and shadow into sound. —J. B. N O R T H W E S T V I K I NG Dolly Anderson may well feel proud of the achievement of the Northwest Viking in the Columbia Scholastic Press Association contest held in New York this month. The Viking rated second place in competition with publications from Teacher's Colleges, Normal Schools, and Junior Colleges all over the United States. To take an already good newspaper and make it better is not always easy. Miss Anderson assumed the editorship of a publication which had taken fourth place in the national contest held last year, and forced it up through increasingly difficult competition until it rested only one rung from the top. It was a noteworthy achievement. O N E D U C A T I ON "Education: Savage and Civilized", is the title of an article by John Langdon-Davies, which appears in Harper's Magazine. Mr. Langdon- Davies, who will be remembered frorri his lecture here last year, discusses education from a new viewpoint. "Savage parents are those who regard education as an art of making out of their children exact replicas of themselves; their watchword is, 'What was good enough for me is good enough for my children.' Civilized parents are those who use, every available device and ingenuity to prevent their children being like themselves; they seek for an education which will enable the next gneration to face life a few steps farther on". "Censoring the Conduct of College Women" is discussed in The Atlantic Monthly by Mabel B. Lee, who declares that the recent development of student government in girl's schools and co-educational institutions, has gone far in making of modern woman the architect of her own education, but that the hard-won freedom has not yet been made to include the field of conduct and morals. Exponents of the theory that women students should be allowed a certain measure of freedom from restrictions and taboos imposed on their lives by deans of women, will here find valuable moral support from a woman who writes rather intelligently on the subject A scholastic meditation, "Teacher or Factory H a n d ? " , should prove interesting to teachers who feel that a too-heavy emphasis on ^getting the greatest number of students taught by the fewest„ number of teachers is productive of serious consequences. Writing anonymously, the author complains that being required to handle too many'student readers it is impossible for her to give any of them the thought and attention which they deserve, and she supports her contention with some rather tragic examples. This article also appears in the Atlantic Monthly. . o—— . - If you feel blue because your name is listed with those who have had credits cut, don't let it overcome you.

The main thing is this! He's done, see, and he can start all over again, and either make good or not make good. Y'know, it would be a tough, tough, old woild if a fellow didn't get a chance every so often to drop off the tangles of things he's got himself into... At that, all he ever does, upon finding himself free, is start workin' on a new set of tangles. •i 4 :.•: » BORROWED DEFINITION— A bore is a gink which always insists on talking—just at the time when you want to talk. * * * * More Truth Than Poetry— (Statement made by Him to H e r ).

Helps Boredom Dear Mr. Leen ana Fellow -Members of the . International Relations Club: I have been in Peru now for a number of days enjoying the good and bad of Peru. , I do not hesitate to say the good arid the bad, for in spite of the show of wealthy homes here the majority of people are poor. The. poor peoples' homes are constructed of mud and a clay brick called 'ladrillo", which does not add to the cleanliness. It is very interesting to walk along the streets and glance into their homes. Every home, which, by the way, is constructed like a square box, lias its characteristic "patio" in the center. K Rich Architecture I n the better class of homes there is a veritable field of study for the student of architecture. There are old Spanish colonial homes with their abundance of wood carvings; there is the Italian villa with its name over the door; while many buildings have the upper stories in the French style of architecture. The Moorish conquest of Spain many centuries ago can still be seen in Peru in the form of architecture. A huge triumphal arch containing the characteristic domes and three quarter circles of Arabs is one of the sights to see in Lima. The Spanish people certainly love to adorn their homes with beautiful carvings, variously designed mosaic and gorgeous flowers. Peru has an antique university. It was founded by one of the Spanish (kings in 1551 and has been in service ever since. The subject matter taught is very much up to date, while the athletic equipment is imported from America. Soccer seems to be their national sport, and when I asked one of the students why they did not play American football, I received the most reasonable answer —and yet to us the most peculiar reason. He said that the Spanish peoples are too emotional. They fight before a tame game of soccer begins and when it is all over they go out into the streets and finish the duel by fists. Fear Capitalists The students, as a whole, dislike the United States because of its big-stick policy with the smaller American countries, it amused me to realize that they, do not attribute this to we citizens but to the capitalists of America. ,In fact they came straight with .their thoughts and asked me "Do you believe that it is necessary to have a socialist revolution in America?" They have a dislike or,suspicion of Europe especially Spain. Although they believe the Monroe Doctrine is only a piece of paper, the students have faith in an American community of friendship as opposed, to Europe. In fact, like, all students, they are a little inquisitive., About six months ago they became so opposed to the present President of Peru, M. Le-guia, that the police had to kill about twenty, send two hundred to the political prison and expel about as many more from the country. People expect in the future some sweeping political changes to come over Peru through these students. Study Cerevantes While you students are industri-. ously studying Shakespeare or worshipping him these young students barely know the gentleman, and instead it is Cervantes, Cervantes, everywhere. Last Sunday I witnessed my first and last bull-fight. Six beautiful bulls came bouncing into the ring and were artistically slaughtered by the torreadors amid the wild, warm acclamations of the people. There is only one thing that I can admire in the sport. That is when the tor-reador, after taking two barbs into his hands, runs directly for the bull's head and leaves them in the animal's shoulders without so much as a graze from the beast. I guess it is as a young Chilian explained to me, "you must have Spanish blood in your veins to enjoy a bullfight." Speeding Home As I write this final note we are speeding down the coast of Peru, off Mollendo, on our way to northern Chile. In Chile the boat shall lift a cargo of iron ore for the iron smelter in Tacoma. So far, we have been dropping lumber from Tacoma and Bellingham to various ports all along the Coast. Sailors must stand their watches so that means "Adios". Yours truly, ' , —GUY S. SPRINGSTEEL.

Burnett's second novel, his first being "Little Caesar", and was chosen by the Book of the Month club as one of their books for 1930. But in spite of the fact that the club gave it a nmning, the actual merits of the ; book will make it popular, especially among the men.

Every year the Prosh make a real try to overwhelm the Sophs, but as the dope, points up to date the Soph class men have the edge. Interest is running high especially in the dressing rooms and several heated arguments have been staged there between the managers, Brinkman and Flowers, as to the outcome in some of the events. I am hoping that Brinkman will get the right 'end'of this bone. ATHENS WINS For the secona time in two years the pennant of the interscholastic " basketball championship of the United States will be floated from the flagpole 01' Athens, Texas, high school. The Texans defeated Jeno, Louisiana, 22 .to 16 in the final game of the tournament, last Saturday night to put down in history the first time that the national championship has been won by the same institution twice. It was a heart breaking defeat for the Zena boys, for since early winter they had spent their evenings, either in the only grocery store in town or in t he high school gym. So convinced were ' the citizens of this little town that they collected enough money to send the team to the National Tourney. U. OF W. WINS It was just an indoor record breaking- spree for Washington last Saturday night when the U. of W. defeated- the California Bears by the score of 74 1-3 to 55 2-3. The records broken were the discus, by Paul Jessup, with a throw of 153 feet 8J4 inches. A jump of 23 feet, broke the former broad jump record. Steve Anderson lowered the mark for the 180-yard low hurdles when he covered them in 20.1 seconds. Another, record fell when Hurthy ran the 440 yard dash in 49.9 seconds. The fifth record bit the dust when Kiserr covered the distance of „ ene mile in 4:19.

LETTERMEN ARE BARRED Opening the Viking track season, the annual inter-class meet between the Frosh and t he Sophomores began last night and will be finished this afternoon. A great deal of interest is being shown in the meet which should be a close race.all the way through. The Frosh are given a slight edge over the upper-classmen, because they have more men entered in the different events. hTe method of giving points also favors the Frosh. I n all events except the 100-yard dash, points will be given the first five places. In this event, two heats will be r un off and points given to the first three place winners. Lettermen are barred from the meet which also does not help the Sophs any. Brinkman is manager of the Sophomore team while Flowers heads the Frosh outfit. The events which will take-place Thursday and those entered are: 100-yard dash—F, Emery, Flowers, Johnston, Faulkner, Duyff; S, Jackson, Abshire, Iverson, Dixon, B.

SANDBERG RESIGNS— Roy Sandberg, coach of the- El-lensburg Normal school for t h e past four years, has tendered his resignation, it was learned this week. Sandberg, with the faithful support of all Ellensburg, was successful in turning out some good squads. Winning several tri-Normal titles. Bel-lingham alumni of Whatcom High seems to be on Sandburg's trial. I t is rumored _about that he may take over the coaching of football at the high school. The weather has been playing havoc with the track and baseball turnouts for the past week. However, light turnouts have been held in the gyms. Either squad cannot afford the forced delay caused by the weather, by being twd of the weakest teams to start with that we have had. The coaches need every minute they can get to put forth two good representing squads for the institution. Shelton, Faulkner. Pole vault—F, Sanders, Flowers, Eacrett. Golfer Al Kuzmoski . To Instruct Glasses In Scottish Game Al Kuzmoski will be the pro for all students who are turning out for golf instruction this quarter. Classes are held at 10 o'clock on l!£onday and Wednesday; and a t 8 and 5 o'clock Tuesday and Thursday. One may take only two lessons a week. To play, equipment must be furnished by t h e would-be gofler, and a green fee paid. The classes are open to both men and women, but only twelve people may sign for each class, and since all are nearly filled, students should sign at once. One may sign up on the W. A. A. bulletin board, down stairs. Chances for Tennis Team Look Bad for the Quarter With the drawing* for a ladder tournament having been made, Viking racket-wielders will start getting in shape for t h e coming tennis season. Prospects for a championship squad appear few and far between, and so far, no outstanding material has yet shown up. The tri-normal meet is the only match scheduled for the Vikings as yet, but matches with the Washington Frosh and C. P. S. may be arranged. Three or four men will be picked from the tournament to form the team. In this type of tournament, one man may play another two places above him and should he win, they automatically change their places. Up to date three matches have been played. Stearns defeated Reid to hold onto first place, and Reid in turn won from Gross to keep second place. In the other match Emery defeated Rich. Twenty-three men have signed up for t he tourney. The order in which the tournament was begun is as follows: 1, Stearns; 2, Reid; 3, Emery; 4, Gross; 5, Rich$ 6, Ames; 7, Anayah; 8, Rork; 9, Nostrant; 10, Constantine; 11, Dixon; 12, Johnson; 13, Vaughn; 14, Sanders; 15, Brownlow; 16, Flowers; 17, Abshire; 18, Owen; 19, McMeen; 20, Thai; 21, Evereden; 22, Austin; 23, Mollan. INITIATION lO BE SOON FOR W. A. A. MEMBERS Twelve women have signed up for membership into the Women's Athletic Association for spring quarter. Initiation will be held in the next two weeks and so all girls wishing to be W. A. A. members should sign on the bulletin board downstairs. It is not necessary to be a,W. A. A. member to turn out for sports, but for team awards and for t he counting of points, membership is required. o LAKE WHATCOM HIKE PROVES BIG SUCCESS The first hike of" the quarter was taken last Saturday. The girls planned to hike to Lake Padden, but, due to some misunderstanding, they lost their way and found themselves at Lake Whatcom, where they enjoyed themselves swinging at Whatcom Falls park. One of the rare treats of the afternoon was a trip to the Falls, which was a new sight to t h e majority of the girls. o In connection with the Ladies' Music club organization, Miss Grace Moore and Miss Maud Slawson of the Music department have been appointed joint chairmen for a program on Opera, which will be given in the Fine Arts building, next Wednesday. SPORTS FOR SPRING SHOW BIG TURNOUT FROM W.A.A. GROUP Speedball, Baseball/Handball, Tennis, and Archery Are the Sport Lineups for Women This Quarter. TWO WEEKS OF TECHNIQUE Spring sports have made their debut for the women athletics of the school and each night of the week sees sixty to ninety girls out doing their best with the racquet, or the bow, or what have you to offer. Baseball and archery call out the largest crowds, both having about thirty-five girls out. Baseball under Miss Mildred Jewell, on Tuesday and Thursday nights, shows some decided new talent, as well as that which the Sophomore class has to offer. The Freshmen have the larger turnout. • Archery is made a'better sport with the addition of new equpment. Peouple choosing to watch the prac-tce, are asked by the P.

Most people* think that New Zealand •and Australia are close together, whereas they are 1200 miles apart. i n her talk, Miss Stuart attempted to correct this impression and in so doing gave some unusual information about a section of the world with which few are acquainted. Interpreted Songs Following the conclusion of the motion picture film, Miss Stuart appeared in native Maori costume. I n this picturesque attire she performed a number of tribal dances, and sang a group of native songs, first singing them i n the Maori tongue and then translating them into English. Some of them were quite lovely, particularly the love songs, while others seemed to be almost ferocious. Judging from the applause which Miss Stuart received this was one of the most successful assemblies presented in some weeks. BRUBACHER SPEAKS BEFORE ASSEMBLY .Speaks on Differences Between • European..and American Schools; School Paid Library Compliment. : A. R. Brubacher, president of the New York State College for Teachers, was a speaker before the student body hi 'the -regular assembly, Friday, April 4. Mr. Brubacher chose as his subject the difference between European and American schools. He has just recently completed a study of the former, and so is well qualified to lecture upon the topic. The most striking difference which President Brubacher noted was the fact that in England and on the Continent only a select.few are permitted to enter institutions of higher learning and those few carefully picked, while in America we attempt to educate the masses. Consequently, the freshman in the European college is as far advanced as the junior or •senior in the American college. Mr. Brucbacher, however, declared that this was no reflection upon the American school system. It is merely due to a difference in aims. Praises Library An amusing instance, to American minds, was cited by the speaker in explaining the British system of ascertaining whether a student is in attendance. He said that roll is not taken in any of the classes but t h e student must dine in the dining hall. As long as a student dines "in hall" he is considered to be. attending school. I n closing his talk President Brubacher paid this school a fine compliment when he stated that Bellingham 'Normal's library was one of the best he had seen in any teachers' training college in the country.

One of the most beautiful organ numbers was "Cantilene", by Harry Rowe Shelley, a softly moving melody permeated by clear distant tones which came nearer and nearer until they disclosed harmonies low and richly colored. This was followed by "Fughetat", by Lemai-gre, a short piece, swift, light, and lively. Then came the peaceful and tranquil of "Chanson Joyeuse", by MacFarlane. Music which flooded the building with sounds sacred, lofty, and majestic was characterized by the "Second Suite", by James H. Rogers! and through it all Mr. Griffith displayed skill technically, and mentally an intensity of purpose. Mr. Helder gave a fine and earnest interpretation of sacred arias from works of Mendelssohn, and Dr. A. H. KNAAK Associated Dental Specialists 218 Mason Bldg. Cor. Railroad and Holly Training School sters Agriculturists Signs of the advent of spring-^-an army of small workers laboring in their garden on Huntoon Drive. The garden was started a year ago by the pupils of the first, second, third and fourth grades in the Training school, and has been continued since then, in connection with their other school work. Before spring vacation, these young agriculturists journeyed to the plot to watch the earliest activities of the, ^perennial plants which had been planted last fall. They were very greatly thrilled to find several bold crocuses venturing above ground, and upon returning to their desks the second graders found the impulse to convert their experience into verse so strong that the following tribute to "Little Crocus" was evolved: "Little crocus, Little crocus, In your garden bed. Can you hear us calling? Do lift up your head". These words were set to music with Miss Grace Moore's help. Since vacation the children have been bringing seeds to school, germinating them in glass containers in sunny windows of the school room, and have correlated their class work; Some remarkably original artistic efforts have been the result of an hour's labor in the garden, and a great deal of practical information has been gained through the manual labor connected with the project. The tools used are strong and sturdy, but of a size adapted to the small hands and strength of little people. The soil has been spaded and raked bulbs cultivated and sweet peas planted, all by the children themselves. Interesting developments are expected by those who are watching the progress of this •unit of work. o The regular Thorndike Aptitude test was given to approximately fifty-five students last Thursday morning. All students who had not previously taken the test were required to do so. In the absence of Dr. Masters and Dr. Upshall the test was given by Miss Early with the assistance of Catherine Dess and Velma Hilson. The test required about an hour's time. disclosed a voice of strength with fine tonal qualities. "In the Time of Roses", by Reichardt, was a song fine in itself yet greatly enhanced through the voice of Mr. Helder.

NIGHT TENNIS YE DIARY —Bob Walters SWING ELECTION TO DARK HORSE ENTRY Eleven Candidates Divided Offices. Groups Will Vie for Positions in Coming- Election. Oar Business Manager has fallen heir to a new and larger desk, and we now have control of the old one. I t doesn't happen to be quite large enough, but we can clump our feet on it and it does add prestige to the job. Which reminds us, that the Bus. Mgr. is also the concoctor of "Ye Diary" each week. W. S. N. S. An article "What'll I Do Now", by Rita S. Hale, is appearing in the April issue of McCall's magazine. It is based on an interview with a big corporation executive. I t brings out the fact that we have come to look on colleges as a high type of employment agency. The graduate no longer has to go from door to door looking for a position, as the corporation* representatives now come to the colleges for employees. Those that are selected for the bigger jobs are usually in the upper 15 to 20%, but as grades are not all that are concerned the; per cent usually increases. The| sought ones are not only judged by ' .their scholastic records, but by their all around standards, including personality, activities, and looks. ...^ ..r— W. S. N. S. ~" ' ! Which is in keeping- with the fact t h a t those now hiring teachers, feel that they want teachers who are active, energetic, and., who show nice qualities of personality. Another thing that counts is personal appearance. We believe that appearance is often neglected by Normal students, and that it would be wise, to keep this in mind when we are job seeking. W. S. N. S. SUMMERS MAY RUN Election Had Been Scheduled for Today,.but Was Postponed Owing to Change in the Point System. Achievement Tests For New Students Come Next Tuesday A number of colleges are now placing flood ilghts about their tennis courts so that night tennis can be played. Some would like to see that done here, but in view of the drawing power of the courts in the day time and the fact that night study is most conducive'when there are no outside attractions, it probably would handicap most of us if such lights were installed here. -W. S. N. S. M. K. M. started., a., near., riot among the boys with her scathing "student opinion" against the men's lounging room. We are all for the club room, and as the former Nor-malite chef also pulled strongly for it, we take this opportunity 'to inform Miss M. K. M. that Normalite is club-room minded. :—W. S. N. S. Just as various groups were beginning to prophecy the outcome of the coming student body election, an entirely new light was thrown on the situation by the nomination of Lyle Summers to succeed himself as president. Whether he will ignore the Cool-idge policy of not wanting to change a precedent, or whteher he Will take the "I do not choose to run" attitude, Mr. Summers did not state in an interview following the nominations. The election was tentatively slated for today but the date was changed at a special meeting of the Board of Control. The candidates were to have been approved on the basis of grades and the point system. The board plans to make some changes in this system, and in the means of weighing the merits of the various officers. It was impossible to get this settled this week, as the faculty meeting was postponed on account of the absence of President C. H. Fisher, and well as several other faculty members. At the close of the nominations last Tuesday there were eleven listed to enter the race for the three offices, namely, that of president, vice president, and a four quarter representative to the Board of Control. Out of that group there are five students seeking the presidential chair. Owing to the large number of nominees for the comparatively small numbers of voters a little organization and .campaigning on the part of the individual candidates' boosters, may swing the lead to a dark horse. Several of the candidates had backers grouped together and bidding strongly for the vote of the undecided. Posters and signs are also slated to make their appearance. Those who have been nominated for president are: Quentin Quick, Charles Gerold, Curtis Bell, Charles Dowell, and Lyle Summers; for vice president, Mary McDonald, and Chloris Fischer, and for four-quarter representative, Arthur Grav-rock, William Kendrick, and Earl Hutchins.' : o— Next Tuesday from four to five o'clock the Stanford Achievement tests in Arithmetic Reasoning, Arithmetic Computation, Spelling, and English Usage will be given. The following day, Wednesday, tests in History, Geography, and Penmanship will be given. It is necessary to take and pass all of the tests to get into the Training school. With the exception of Penmanship, students are given four chances to pass the tests. A small charge is to be paid at the third and fourth trials. A failure in Penmanship requires the student to obtain a passing grade in one of the Penmanship courses. These tests are graced according to a new scale which was made out in the fall quarter. o TUESDAY ASSEMBLY TO BE SPONSORED BY SCIENCE DEPT, IN DRAMA CLUB PLAY Philippi, Quick, Du Bois, Dewey, and Howell Also Rate Parts in Drama at Last Night's Tryout. WILL PLAY "THE YOUNGEST' Play by Philip Barry, Is Genuinely American. Dreaming "Youngest" Is Thwarted by Practical Family. Appointment Bureau Places Nine People ^ In Teaching Positions Sundquist Will Deliver Lecture on Activities at the Friday Harbor Camp Slides Will Depict Life. STATION IS FAMOUS BOARD HEARS PLANS OF TRACK PROGRAM Final Arrangements for Souvenir Programs Made;. Price Not to Exceed Twenty-five Cents. Tuesday morning, April 15, the regular assembly hour will be devoted to an illustrated lecture by one of the members of the Science department, Miss Leona Sundquist. Her talk will be on the work done by the Normal School in connection with the University of Washington at the Puget Sound Biological Station at Friday Harbor. The slides used will show scenes of the camp life led there by students during the summer, of classes in action, and of the buildings maintained by the. Station. Every summer a group of students wo are ntereted n the work of thes who are interested in the work of the Science department and who are doing third-year work, with instructors of the department, attend the sessions. The Puget Sound Station is known throughout the United States as one of the foremost in the biological field. Many interesting specimens of marine life have been discovered there, and each year the station is visited by men prominent in the scientific professions. A lecture of this type .is given at intervals to stimulate an interest in and to enable those students who are doing advanced work to know something about activities at Friday Harbor. Tryouts for the spring quarter Drama club play "The Youngest" were held last night and with the cast chosen rehearsals will begin immediately. Philip Barry, the author of this delightful comedy, is one of America's young playwrights who has been ever moving towards the pln-acle of success. His play are genuinely American, his dialogue to the point, witty, with a spicy touch of slang. In "The Youngest" he has with ease and humor portrayed the continued repressions of the youngest son whose aspirations to become a writer are scoffed at by a practical family. He stands much, but when they put him out of his room, lock up his manuscripts, and cut off his allowance, well—the worm turns, and things happen. There is another reason though; behind him is Nancy, cleverly pushing him on and manouvering the whole family. The youngest finds her-out, misinterprets her real motive, and then —perhaps more things happen. No less than nine people have secured teaching, positions during the past, week, according to reports of the Appointment Bureau. Mabel Knapp is teaching the third grade in Greenacres, Washington; Nellie Olson has the Otter Creek school, a rural school in Lewis county; Shir-ley~ Brown is teaching grades one to four in the Evalina school; while Marjorie Coventon is located in Port Angeles. Dawn T. Goodnough and Olive Goldman have been placed at Long-branch, teaching grades 5 to 8 and grades 1 to 4, respectively. Thelma Mears has the intermediate grades in Anacortes, Charles K. Erickson is teaching in Snohomish, and Verna Scrimsher has the primary grades at Guemes. o WOMEN'S ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION DANCE IS GREAT SUCCESS Spring Showers Idea Is Feature in Decorations Through Medium of Rainbows and Umbrellas.

The money made will go toward the payment of Viqueen Lodge on Sinclair Island. Brilliant umbrellas hung from the ceiling and a rainbow at one end of the floor emphasized the Spring idea. Coming in lightly flowered dresses the girls added much to the dance, giving it color and life. Programs were effective, with their purple backgrounds and gold design. The plate on the front was designed with a very little girl under a huge umbrella and drops of rain falling all around. Ann Swanson, Chairman Music was furnished by the "Rec Hour" orchestra, but because Wayne Priem, pianist, was ill, the boys had to play with other piano players and without organized practice.

B. N O R T H W E S T V I K I NG Dolly Anderson may well feel proud of the achievement of the Northwest Viking in the Columbia Scholastic Press Association contest held in New York this month. The Viking rated second place in competition with publications from Teacher's Colleges, Normal Schools, and Junior Colleges all over the United States. To take an already good newspaper and make it better is not always easy. Miss Anderson assumed the editorship of a publication which had taken fourth place in the national contest held last year, and forced it up through increasingly difficult competition until it rested only one rung from the top. It was a noteworthy achievement. O N E D U C A T I ON "Education: Savage and Civilized", is the title of an article by John Langdon-Davies, which appears in Harper's Magazine. Mr. Langdon- Davies, who will be remembered frorri his lecture here last year, discusses education from a new viewpoint. "Savage parents are those who regard education as an art of making out of their children exact replicas of themselves; their watchword is, 'What was good enough for me is good enough for my children.' Civilized parents are those who use, every available device and ingenuity to prevent their children being like themselves; they seek for an education which will enable the next gneration to face life a few steps farther on". "Censoring the Conduct of College Women" is discussed in The Atlantic Monthly by Mabel B. Lee, who declares that the recent development of student government in girl's schools and co-educational institutions, has gone far in making of modern woman the architect of her own education, but that the hard-won freedom has not yet been made to include the field of conduct and morals. Exponents of the theory that women students should be allowed a certain measure of freedom from restrictions and taboos imposed on their lives by deans of women, will here find valuable moral support from a woman who writes rather intelligently on the subject A scholastic meditation, "Teacher or Factory H a n d ? " , should prove interesting to teachers who feel that a too-heavy emphasis on ^getting the greatest number of students taught by the fewest„ number of teachers is productive of serious consequences. Writing anonymously, the author complains that being required to handle too many'student readers it is impossible for her to give any of them the thought and attention which they deserve, and she supports her contention with some rather tragic examples. This article also appears in the Atlantic Monthly. . o—— . - If you feel blue because your name is listed with those who have had credits cut, don't let it overcome you.

Helps Boredom Dear Mr. Leen ana Fellow -Members of the . International Relations Club: I have been in Peru now for a number of days enjoying the good and bad of Peru. , I do not hesitate to say the good arid the bad, for in spite of the show of wealthy homes here the majority of people are poor. The. poor peoples' homes are constructed of mud and a clay brick called 'ladrillo", which does not add to the cleanliness. It is very interesting to walk along the streets and glance into their homes. Every home, which, by the way, is constructed like a square box, lias its characteristic "patio" in the center. K Rich Architecture I n the better class of homes there is a veritable field of study for the student of architecture. There are old Spanish colonial homes with their abundance of wood carvings; there is the Italian villa with its name over the door; while many buildings have the upper stories in the French style of architecture. The Moorish conquest of Spain many centuries ago can still be seen in Peru in the form of architecture. A huge triumphal arch containing the characteristic domes and three quarter circles of Arabs is one of the sights to see in Lima. The Spanish people certainly love to adorn their homes with beautiful carvings, variously designed mosaic and gorgeous flowers. Peru has an antique university. It was founded by one of the Spanish (kings in 1551 and has been in service ever since. The subject matter taught is very much up to date, while the athletic equipment is imported from America. Soccer seems to be their national sport, and when I asked one of the students why they did not play American football, I received the most reasonable answer —and yet to us the most peculiar reason. He said that the Spanish peoples are too emotional. They fight before a tame game of soccer begins and when it is all over they go out into the streets and finish the duel by fists. Fear Capitalists The students, as a whole, dislike the United States because of its big-stick policy with the smaller American countries, it amused me to realize that they, do not attribute this to we citizens but to the capitalists of America. ,In fact they came straight with .their thoughts and asked me "Do you believe that it is necessary to have a socialist revolution in America?" They have a dislike or,suspicion of Europe especially Spain. Although they believe the Monroe Doctrine is only a piece of paper, the students have faith in an American community of friendship as opposed, to Europe. In fact, like, all students, they are a little inquisitive., About six months ago they became so opposed to the present President of Peru, M. Le-guia, that the police had to kill about twenty, send two hundred to the political prison and expel about as many more from the country. People expect in the future some sweeping political changes to come over Peru through these students. Study Cerevantes While you students are industri-. ously studying Shakespeare or worshipping him these young students barely know the gentleman, and instead it is Cervantes, Cervantes, everywhere. Last Sunday I witnessed my first and last bull-fight. Six beautiful bulls came bouncing into the ring and were artistically slaughtered by the torreadors amid the wild, warm acclamations of the people. There is only one thing that I can admire in the sport. That is when the tor-reador, after taking two barbs into his hands, runs directly for the bull's head and leaves them in the animal's shoulders without so much as a graze from the beast. I guess it is as a young Chilian explained to me, "you must have Spanish blood in your veins to enjoy a bullfight." Speeding Home As I write this final note we are speeding down the coast of Peru, off Mollendo, on our way to northern Chile. In Chile the boat shall lift a cargo of iron ore for the iron smelter in Tacoma. So far, we have been dropping lumber from Tacoma and Bellingham to various ports all along the Coast.

Interest is running high especially in the dressing rooms and several heated arguments have been staged there between the managers, Brinkman and Flowers, as to the outcome in some of the events. I am hoping that Brinkman will get the right 'end'of this bone. ATHENS WINS For the secona time in two years the pennant of the interscholastic " basketball championship of the United States will be floated from the flagpole 01' Athens, Texas, high school. The Texans defeated Jeno, Louisiana, 22 .to 16 in the final game of the tournament, last Saturday night to put down in history the first time that the national championship has been won by the same institution twice. It was a heart breaking defeat for the Zena boys, for since early winter they had spent their evenings, either in the only grocery store in town or in t he high school gym. So convinced were ' the citizens of this little town that they collected enough money to send the team to the National Tourney. U. OF W. WINS It was just an indoor record breaking- spree for Washington last Saturday night when the U. of W. defeated- the California Bears by the score of 74 1-3 to 55 2-3. The records broken were the discus, by Paul Jessup, with a throw of 153 feet 8J4 inches. A jump of 23 feet, broke the former broad jump record. Steve Anderson lowered the mark for the 180-yard low hurdles when he covered them in 20.1 seconds. Another, record fell when Hurthy ran the 440 yard dash in 49.9 seconds. The fifth record bit the dust when Kiserr covered the distance of „ ene mile in 4:19.

LETTERMEN ARE BARRED Opening the Viking track season, the annual inter-class meet between the Frosh and t he Sophomores began last night and will be finished this afternoon. A great deal of interest is being shown in the meet which should be a close race.all the way through. The Frosh are given a slight edge over the upper-classmen, because they have more men entered in the different events. hTe method of giving points also favors the Frosh. I n all events except the 100-yard dash, points will be given the first five places. In this event, two heats will be r un off and points given to the first three place winners. Lettermen are barred from the meet which also does not help the Sophs any. Brinkman is manager of the Sophomore team while Flowers heads the Frosh outfit. The events which will take-place Thursday and those entered are: 100-yard dash—F, Emery, Flowers, Johnston, Faulkner, Duyff; S, Jackson, Abshire, Iverson, Dixon, B.

A new course in physical education is to be offered this.quarter by the Physical Education department. What do you suppose it could be ? Nothing but thejavorite pastime of Occie Thorsen—Golf. The course will be given by Al Kozmoski and should prove inter- -esting to beginners. SANDBERG RESIGNS— Roy Sandberg, coach of the- El-lensburg Normal school for t h e past four years, has tendered his resignation, it was learned this week. Sandberg, with the faithful support of all Ellensburg, was successful in turning out some good squads. Winning several tri-Normal titles. Bel-lingham alumni of Whatcom High seems to be on Sandburg's trial. I t is rumored _about that he may take over the coaching of football at the high school. The weather has been playing havoc with the track and baseball turnouts for the past week. However, light turnouts have been held in the gyms. Either squad cannot afford the forced delay caused by the weather, by being twd of the weakest teams to start with that we have had. The coaches need every minute they can get to put forth two good representing squads for the institution. Shelton, Faulkner. Pole vault—F, Sanders, Flowers, Eacrett. Golfer Al Kuzmoski . To Instruct Glasses In Scottish Game Al Kuzmoski will be the pro for all students who are turning out for golf instruction this quarter. Classes are held at 10 o'clock on l!£onday and Wednesday; and a t 8 and 5 o'clock Tuesday and Thursday. One may take only two lessons a week. To play, equipment must be furnished by t h e would-be gofler, and a green fee paid. The classes are open to both men and women, but only twelve people may sign for each class, and since all are nearly filled, students should sign at once. One may sign up on the W. A. A. bulletin board, down stairs. Chances for Tennis Team Look Bad for the Quarter With the drawing* for a ladder tournament having been made, Viking racket-wielders will start getting in shape for t h e coming tennis season. Prospects for a championship squad appear few and far between, and so far, no outstanding material has yet shown up. The tri-normal meet is the only match scheduled for the Vikings as yet, but matches with the Washington Frosh and C. P. S. may be arranged. Three or four men will be picked from the tournament to form the team. In this type of tournament, one man may play another two places above him and should he win, they automatically change their places. Up to date three matches have been played. Stearns defeated Reid to hold onto first place, and Reid in turn won from Gross to keep second place. In the other match Emery defeated Rich. Twenty-three men have signed up for t he tourney. The order in which the tournament was begun is as follows: 1, Stearns; 2, Reid; 3, Emery; 4, Gross; 5, Rich$ 6, Ames; 7, Anayah; 8, Rork; 9, Nostrant; 10, Constantine; 11, Dixon; 12, Johnson; 13, Vaughn; 14, Sanders; 15, Brownlow; 16, Flowers; 17, Abshire; 18, Owen; 19, McMeen; 20, Thai; 21, Evereden; 22, Austin; 23, Mollan. INITIATION lO BE SOON FOR W. A. A. MEMBERS Twelve women have signed up for membership into the Women's Athletic Association for spring quarter. Initiation will be held in the next two weeks and so all girls wishing to be W. A. A. members should sign on the bulletin board downstairs. It is not necessary to be a,W. A. A. member to turn out for sports, but for team awards and for t he counting of points, membership is required. o LAKE WHATCOM HIKE PROVES BIG SUCCESS The first hike of" the quarter was taken last Saturday. The girls planned to hike to Lake Padden, but, due to some misunderstanding, they lost their way and found themselves at Lake Whatcom, where they enjoyed themselves swinging at Whatcom Falls park. One of the rare treats of the afternoon was a trip to the Falls, which was a new sight to t h e majority of the girls. o In connection with the Ladies' Music club organization, Miss Grace Moore and Miss Maud Slawson of the Music department have been appointed joint chairmen for a program on Opera, which will be given in the Fine Arts building, next Wednesday. SPORTS FOR SPRING SHOW BIG TURNOUT FROM W.A.A. GROUP Speedball, Baseball/Handball, Tennis, and Archery Are the Sport Lineups for Women This Quarter. TWO WEEKS OF TECHNIQUE Spring sports have made their debut for the women athletics of the school and each night of the week sees sixty to ninety girls out doing their best with the racquet, or the bow, or what have you to offer. Baseball and archery call out the largest crowds, both having about thirty-five girls out. Baseball under Miss Mildred Jewell, on Tuesday and Thursday nights, shows some decided new talent, as well as that which the Sophomore class has to offer. The Freshmen have the larger turnout. • Archery is made a'better sport with the addition of new equpment. Peouple choosing to watch the prac-tce, are asked by the P.

Strange noises, weird chants and incantations permeated the atmosphere of the auditorium Tuesday morning, when Bathie Stuart of New Zealand appeared before the student body with interpretations of the customs and folk lore of the Maori tribes of her native country. (Miss Stuart also gave an interesting talk about New Zealand and introduced a motion picture film showing the country and its people. v As Miss Stuart said, a great many Americans do not know much about New Zealand and-describe it carelessly as a "bunch of islands somewhere in, the Southern Pacific." Most people* think that New Zealand •and Australia are close together, whereas they are 1200 miles apart. i n her talk, Miss Stuart attempted to correct this impression and in so doing gave some unusual information about a section of the world with which few are acquainted. Interpreted Songs Following the conclusion of the motion picture film, Miss Stuart appeared in native Maori costume. I n this picturesque attire she performed a number of tribal dances, and sang a group of native songs, first singing them i n the Maori tongue and then translating them into English. Some of them were quite lovely, particularly the love songs, while others seemed to be almost ferocious. Judging from the applause which Miss Stuart received this was one of the most successful assemblies presented in some weeks. BRUBACHER SPEAKS BEFORE ASSEMBLY .Speaks on Differences Between • European..and American Schools; School Paid Library Compliment. : A. R. Brubacher, president of the New York State College for Teachers, was a speaker before the student body hi 'the -regular assembly, Friday, April 4. Mr. Brubacher chose as his subject the difference between European and American schools. He has just recently completed a study of the former, and so is well qualified to lecture upon the topic. The most striking difference which President Brubacher noted was the fact that in England and on the Continent only a select.few are permitted to enter institutions of higher learning and those few carefully picked, while in America we attempt to educate the masses. Consequently, the freshman in the European college is as far advanced as the junior or •senior in the American college. Mr. Brucbacher, however, declared that this was no reflection upon the American school system. It is merely due to a difference in aims. Praises Library An amusing instance, to American minds, was cited by the speaker in explaining the British system of ascertaining whether a student is in attendance. He said that roll is not taken in any of the classes but t h e student must dine in the dining hall. As long as a student dines "in hall" he is considered to be. attending school. I n closing his talk President Brubacher paid this school a fine compliment when he stated that Bellingham 'Normal's library was one of the best he had seen in any teachers' training college in the country.

One of the most beautiful organ numbers was "Cantilene", by Harry Rowe Shelley, a softly moving melody permeated by clear distant tones which came nearer and nearer until they disclosed harmonies low and richly colored. This was followed by "Fughetat", by Lemai-gre, a short piece, swift, light, and lively. Then came the peaceful and tranquil of "Chanson Joyeuse", by MacFarlane. Music which flooded the building with sounds sacred, lofty, and majestic was characterized by the "Second Suite", by James H. Rogers! and through it all Mr. Griffith displayed skill technically, and mentally an intensity of purpose. Mr. Helder gave a fine and earnest interpretation of sacred arias from works of Mendelssohn, and Dr. A. H. KNAAK Associated Dental Specialists 218 Mason Bldg. Cor. Railroad and Holly Training School sters Agriculturists Signs of the advent of spring-^-an army of small workers laboring in their garden on Huntoon Drive. The garden was started a year ago by the pupils of the first, second, third and fourth grades in the Training school, and has been continued since then, in connection with their other school work. Before spring vacation, these young agriculturists journeyed to the plot to watch the earliest activities of the, ^perennial plants which had been planted last fall. They were very greatly thrilled to find several bold crocuses venturing above ground, and upon returning to their desks the second graders found the impulse to convert their experience into verse so strong that the following tribute to "Little Crocus" was evolved: "Little crocus, Little crocus, In your garden bed. Can you hear us calling? Do lift up your head". These words were set to music with Miss Grace Moore's help. Since vacation the children have been bringing seeds to school, germinating them in glass containers in sunny windows of the school room, and have correlated their class work; Some remarkably original artistic efforts have been the result of an hour's labor in the garden, and a great deal of practical information has been gained through the manual labor connected with the project. The tools used are strong and sturdy, but of a size adapted to the small hands and strength of little people. The soil has been spaded and raked bulbs cultivated and sweet peas planted, all by the children themselves. Interesting developments are expected by those who are watching the progress of this •unit of work. o The regular Thorndike Aptitude test was given to approximately fifty-five students last Thursday morning. All students who had not previously taken the test were required to do so. In the absence of Dr. Masters and Dr. Upshall the test was given by Miss Early with the assistance of Catherine Dess and Velma Hilson. The test required about an hour's time. disclosed a voice of strength with fine tonal qualities. "In the Time of Roses", by Reichardt, was a song fine in itself yet greatly enhanced through the voice of Mr. Helder.

Little man, what now? Do you remember the kindly, fatherly gentleman, the robust, brotherly gentlemen and the optimistic, high-pressure gentlemen who visited your high school and mine and made the auditorium resound with words of cheer and encouragement. There was, for an instance, the very popular and very moral story of the baseball player who refused to die on third, but, watching his opportunities, succeeded in stealing home and thereby saved the game. Boy, what an inspiration! All it took in those days to work your way from the warehouse to the president's office was the dogged determination not to die on third and a high school education. * * * * * Of course, all this took place back in those Horatio Alger days before the economic upset. I have not attended a commencement exercise in the past five years, and for all I know, it may be a more sophisticated brood that takes the stage in early June. A brood that talks bravely of drastic readjustments in our social and economic system, rather than heroic doings with raw timber. But I doubt it. * * * * * Casual mention of Horatio Alger opens a field rich in feature story material. Everybody has, at one time or another, read the Alger books, and everybody was probably more or less impressed by the high virtuousness of the Alger characters, Phil the Fiddler, Mark Mason, Joe the Bootblack, etc. Fortunately, however, no one seemingly was ever inspired to follow in the footsteps of these Alger monstrosities. History has yet to record a personality so disgustingly honest, so priggishly so irritatingly clean hero of Alger fiction. minded as a contribution, "In order to teach geography properly, a good atlas is an essential instrument". A mighty sound statement there, refute. I mean to say its rather sound. Yes, that's right; a good atlas is just the thing to teach geography with. I fear. First Place in Press Contest Won by Viking All-American Rating Is Awarded Normal Weekly for Issues of Fall Quarter Dornblut Edits Winner 'A Fine College Paper' Comment Newspaper Critics Dornblut, Jr. edited the Viking. This is the first year the Normal paper has won Ail-American, the highest rating obtainable, which rates the paper as superior. Many Papers Compete Two hundred fourteen papers competed in the contest. All papers entered are classified according to size of school and frequency of publication. To receive Ail-American rating, papers in the four year teacher college class must receive a total of 750 points. The Viking record scored 780 points and, according to the score summary, excelled in headlines, make-up, department pages, and special features. The editorial column received a perfect score. "A fine college paper" was the final comment of the judges. Twenty-Two People on Staff Staff editors who worked for the winning paper last fall quarter are the following: Ralph Shenenberger, managing editor; Barbara Shute, news editor; Phil Campbell, sports editor, Melvin Munson, assistant; Syd Lines and Nancy Jane Smith, co-feature editors; and Jean Tuey, society editor. Don Norlin and Don School Picnic Features Dance Dance Will Be Held on Tennis Court with Loiuse Schulz As Chairman That dancing will be the main feature of this year's All-School picnic was the decision made at a joint committee meeting last night. It decided to dispense with all other plans for entertainment. The dance will be held May 24 on the tennis courts. Location Not Available The decision was made after hearing the report of Mabel Rolle, chairman of the event. Each of the possible places for holding the affair has some disadvantage. At Wiser lake, the only hall is owned by the Ladies' aid. There is no dance hall at Lake Samish or Lake Whatcom. Birch Bay is too far away. As long as Campus day was held as a picnic, it was decided to have only the dance. The orchestra for the affair has not been selected. Water Carnival To Be Held The water carnival, which was planned for the afternoon, will be held at a later date, according to Bernice Finley, who has supervised the preparation. Although the tickets have ben printed, they will not be sold, and student body tickets will admit to the dance. With the change of picnic, the Students Give Opinions on Changing Normalstad's Name to Coincide With Proposed New Normal School Title not function: transportation, Fran cis Fisher; tickets, Emil Starlund; sports, Bill Taylor; food, Mildred Stoeker.

"Door prizes are to be given", diet Ullin, chairman of the affair, announces. "That ought to be enough to entice everyone to attend; whether they skate or not'Vhe adds.' The skating will begin at 7:30 if not earlier, and will continue until 11:00. Chet urges everyone to be on time and to wear something that will withstand rough usage, as there will be "bigger and better and more spills", to use his words. A Iarg3 crowd is expected as this will be ihe final skating party of the quarter. The price of admission is 15 cents and a student body ticket. and are the work of the most original and independent artists of their time, such as the French painters Paul Cezanne, Augusta Renoir, Paul Gauguin, Alfred Sisley, Marc; and the Dutch landscape painter, Vincent Van Gogh. The pictures were loaned by the American Federation of Arts, a national organization for the cultivation of arts and are facsimilies (collotype) reproduced direct from original paintings. o Women Students Assist Rotarians Russian costumes are being made by the girls of the mixed chorus for their act at the Rotarian program to be held Monday night, May 20, at the American theater. Arcelia Biery has charge of planning and making, the costumes. The girls' skirts and jackets are bright colored and stenciled borders, while the men's blouses are trimmed with bright stenciling. Miss Vane at the Leopold hotel has received many offers from Normal girls to aid in serving at the Rotary banquet. Men and Women To Hold Meetings Apart For Friday, May 24 There will be no regular assembly held on Friday, May 24.

The Women's league will have a program for its meeting. A play, do."

Although the name is fitting for the play place of Vikings, it is carrying the idea of one nationality a little too far. Gordon Millikan:.. If the efforts being made to change the name of the school from Washington State Normal school at Bellingham to Western Washington College of Education are successful, I think it will be better that Normalstad be given a new name that will coincide with our proposed new title. June Larson: I am not in favor of changing the name. If we are to be called Vikings, then why not carry out the Scandinavian theme? Wes Kandrup: I think changing the name is a good idea. If the name of the school is changed, then the name of Normalstad should be also. Lorene Smith: I think Normal- There stad is a bit too prosaic for our lovely recreation spot, and therefore should be changed. Emil Starlund: If the name of the school is to be changed, then I think Normalstad should also be changed, but the Viking theme ought to be carried out in the new name. Ruth Pearson: If we are to be a college and not a normal school, I think the name for Normalstad should be more dignified.

New Wrinkles On The Cerebellum Traditions Should Be Retained * This year's All-School picnic will be a home affair, without the picnic. If we are in favor of breaking traditions, the idea of supplementing a tennis-court dance for the beach program is fine. But why have only the dance? On each Campus day in the past the afternoon has been devoted to field sports and competition. This year the varsity baseball game was the feature of the afternoon. Yes, and even the popular water fight was lost. Why not then, on next Friday afternoon, have some of the things that were missed on Campus day? It is entirely probable that the humorous feud between Bartons and Daniels hall has not yet died completely, so the water fight is possible. And another main feature of the afternoon might be a softball game between the students and faculty. Those features of Campus day we hate to lose, so why not use them next Friday? The Book Case By Bill Pierron OUR PLANET, an Atlas of the World, mond and Co., Brooklyn. 1935. $5.00. C. B. Ham- In order to teach geography properly a good atlas of the World is an lt; essential instrument. It is also exceedingly useful in keeping track of contemporary world affairs. This new Hammond atlas, "Our Planet" is an excellent compilation of maps. It gives a fairly thorough treatment of all parts of the world. It is particularly good in dealing with the United States, giving almost every state a full page map showing county divisions. The book also contains the 1930 U. S. census figures, the latest foreign census figures and a good gazeteer of the world, giving brief, concise information about almost every political division. There are many other interesting features such as tables of highest mountains, largest lakes, etc. Though atlases are likely to become dated politically, this one is as timely as possible and will probably remain useful for a long time. Good atlases have long fascinated me, so I am rather enthusiastic over "Our Planet". It is not too large to carry about, yet it is big enough to give a very satisfactory mapping of the earth's surface. When I was in grade school, I wore out two or three atlases poring over them, and while I may have been conspicuously mediocre in much of my work, geography was my one strong point. I suppose that is the main reason for my affection for atlases and why I like "Our Planet" so well. For anyone with imagination an atlas like "Our Planet" can furnish much entertainment and valuable instruction. The assignment sheet says that I must talk about tokens. Well, let's see now....tokens....Better try to pun on it, maybe. Ah....Token number from one to ten. No, that's not so good. Better moralize. A token saved is a token earned. Take care of your tokens, young man, and the pennies will take care of themselves. (That's not so good either. Is it? ONE HUNDRED WORDS Cultivate the art of clever, impressive dialogue. Here are some suggestions that will prove invaluable if used correctly. Close all political arguments with, "If you don't like this country, go back where you came from". When the hearse rolls by, "Well, here today, gone tomorrow. You never know". When consoling some one who is about to lose his home, his wife, and j his faith in democracy, "The main thing, old man, is not to worry". In soothing a youngster who is earnestly probing Life's mysteries, "When you are older you will un derstand". In commenting upon unintelligent recitations by students of history, "Well, yeeess and nooo". For a plugged token I'd quit this and start writing about Mae West.) Not to change the subject, but has anyone sent J. D. Rockefeller a chain letter yet? Mailing out dimes ought to be right up his alley. This chain letter madness will have to become international if we tail-enders are going to make anything out of it. The thing is good only so long as it expands. If we got it started in China or Russia where there is still plenty of frontier . . . . Now, about these tokens. They are made of aluminum, they are larger than a nickel and smaller than a quarter; they won't fit a slot machine and they are going to be a bloody nuisance. What more can be said? Besides, trying to dash out last minute copy up here in the Viking office where everyone is token and yelling is not so easy as this column might suggest.

With gray they should by all means wear blue —dark or light—in shirt, tie and sox. (By all means choose sox with discretion. They can be very objec tionable in red, green, or purple or combinations of these tones!) LE EDITORE: That seems to put the men in their pigeon holes, but how about these uninformed women? MADAMOISELLE: Ah! for them is no end of chic and appropriate costumes for—what you call?—Rec Hour! They may go in smart pastel linens, gay plaid and striped seersuckers, or comfortable sports costumes consisting of white sheer-wool skirts, cool blouses or sweaters, and these smart gathered-back jackets in blending or matching colors. Low heels are the most appropriate, most comfortable, and most beautiful for this type of affair. If they must wear heels, suggest that they be medium—and no higher— heels. LE EDITORE: Merci, Madamoiselle. With your store of knowledge I shall enrich my own, and inform my multitude of readers. ---------- Northwest Viking - 1935 May 17 - Page 3 ---------- WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, A COLLEGE OF EDUCATION, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Husky Babes Are Mighty as They Defeat Bellingham Track Squad in Dual Meet at Seattle Johnsen, Kenoyer, Taylor, Are Only First Place Winners For Normal Vandermay Looks Good Holder and McKenzie Improved Greatly, Says Carver Bellingham was defeated by the University frosh in a dual meet May 10, by a score of 89 to 41. The Husky babes were too strong for the Vikings in the two mile, shot put, 440, and the relay. Taylor, Johnsen, and Kenoyer were the only first place winners for the local team. Holder turned in a surprising six foot high jump that gave him a tie for second. McKenzie also improved his javelin throwing to give him a nice second spot. The bright Ijght of the frosh team was the ease which Vandermay showed in getting over the 6.1 stick in the high jump. He did not try to go higher but Coach Sam Carver said that he did not doubt that the Lynden boy could get up at least two more inches.

Pacing what will probably be one of their strongest tests this season, the Viking netsters tangle with the Ellensburg squad tomorrow morning on the-local courts. Ellensburg Has Good-Record So far this season the Wildcats have an impressive record and one of their best teams in years. On the basis of the Frosh meet last Saturday, the easterners have a one-match advantage on the locals. In last week's play in Seattle the Yearlings hacked the Wildcats 5-2, while the Vikings were beaten by the Frosh 6-1, earlier in the season. Hadley and Denslow are the big guns for the Wildcats, playing No. 1 and 2 spot respectively. Jose and Johnson are other potential threats on the squad. Last summer Denslow had the distinction of being a partner on the winning doubles team in the Yakima invitational tennis meet. Shangle In No. 1 Spot For the Vikings, Shangle as usual will lead off at No. 1 man, playing either Hadley or Denslow. Star-lund will probably take over the No. 2 spot with Mullen, Orloff, and Joly following in the order named. In the doubles play the Shangle- Starlund, Mullen-Orloff combinations will probably participate. This match will have an important bearing in the choosing of players to go to the tri-normal meet next week. Here's good news for Viking football fans. All of next year's football games are going to be held on Battersby field. And they will all be night games, too. Maybe the baseball games will be held there as well. Then the coaches can charge.admission. They might make enough money to buy chewing tobacco for Miller and Zwaschka. I read in a magazine article recently that the average age for major league baseball players is 24 years . . . Tough luck, Pop Miller.. . and we had such hopes. During the last two weeks, Coach Sam Carver has been busier than Ghandi in a windstorm. With three sports under his care, he has lost plenty of sleep getting his teams back and forth from their games. With his track team 'having two meets, his golf squad two meets, and his tennis team four games, he has no fear of insomnia. What a chance for the tri-normal, the Viking track team will have if they take Cheney tomorrow! Holder, Johnsen, Taylor, Kenoyer, and Brinkman look like sure point winners. If the rest of the team can come through,., we., stand., a., good chance... The strength of Ellens* burg has already been tested in the triangular meet with CPS. Ellensburg and Bellingham were both defeated, but the Vikings garnered 38 points to the Wildcats 20. Walt Miller is umpiring the Sunday games at Downer field . . . The softball team Hurley Boggess pitches for in the city league, is the leading team of the league. Boggess has credit for all of his team's victories with no defeats . -.

Mon Orloff and Jack Joly stayed in Seattle after the University frosh tennis match to hear Tibbett sing. The tough part was hitch hiking home in the middle of the night.

The introduction of the candidates will take place at the initiation to be held Friday, May 17, at 4:00 in the Edens Hall Blue room, at this time also, an opportunity for further nominations will be given. Badminton Games Still in Progress Good headway is being made in the badminton tournament in which there are fewer enthusiasts than in the tennis. The games started May 14 with the championship tournaments to be played off June 4. Women's Physical Education department tennis tournament is now in full swing, starting May 9, and the actual games, and tne runners-up for the championship will be made evident by May 23, which is the last date for tennis matches. After that date, the players will be playing for the championship. The coaching class is refereeing the intramural baseball and speed-ball games which are now in progress. The volley ball class has been playing games with about an equal score for each group. They are now taking tests in placing, serving, and hitting the ball over the net. Junior Collegians Win Over Vikings Mount Vernon Junior college evened their series with the Viking netsters when they eked out a four to three win on the local tennis courts last Tuesday. Ladd Shangle, -number one man for the Vikings, won his match from the Mount Vernon number one man in straight sets. The second singles match win was credited to Roger Mullen. Mon Orloff, Oscar Star-lund, and Jack Joly lost their games. The Vikings broke even in their doubles event, Shangle and Star-lund winning while Joly and Mullen lost. The net men will not get credit for the wins in this match toward their sweaters. With the WAA By Joan Hoppe The week. election is to be held next For dependable Optical service consult Dr. John P.

The mates in line for the commanding position are Betty Ewing and Leona Trager. The first mate, or to be plain the forgotten woman, or to be plainer still, the vice-president, will be either Helen Lewis or Phyllis Robinson. Dropping all attempts at nautical phraseology, Heaton and Grassmeyer were nominated for recording secretary; Jansen and Mayhew, treasurer; Mc- Cllelan and Weller, Women's League representatives; Blankers and Genther, ICC representatives. The crew will be definitely chosen soon and the WAA will be launched upon another voyage. The retiring captain, Marie de- Gallier, and her competent crew are to be congatulated upon their splendid piloting, which has held the WAA on a straight course of friendship and co-operation during the past year. Just to be sure that you're completely dissolved in sentimental tears we'll drop the curtain upon this scene with Miss Ruth Weythman hovering, as a guardian angel, in the distance. * * * * * Members of, and all girls interested in the WAA, are cordially invited to attend the initiation tea today at 4:00 in the Edens Hall Blue room. (Only one cookie to a customer. Be altruistic, don't leave sugar in the bottom of your teacup. The next person who uses it may not care for sugar.) Showing a complete reversal of form, the Viking racquet wielders decisively defeated the College of Puget Sound netsters 5-2 at Tacoma, Tuesday. Joly in the singles, and the Orloff-Mullen combination in the doubles, were the only men to lose their matches. Shangle Leads Rout '" . Shangle, playing in the number 1 spot, started the rout off by overwhelming Eastes 6-1, 6-1. The diminutive little Viking netman had the match well in hand from the start and had Eates back on his heels all the way. Starlund continued to look good in beating Clifford after three hard sets, 6-4, 3-6, 6-4. If the big Norseman can maintain his present stride, he stands a good chance of making the tri-normal trip. Mullen had the hardest assignment of the day when the Tacomans switched McElroy, their No. 1 man, to third spot, figuring that he would have-a better chance in that position. Playing his best tennis of the season, Mullen overcame the CPS star 2-6, 6-3, 7-5. Orloff Starts Out Orloff broke into the win column for the first time this year when he trounced Bonn in straight sets 6-3, 8-6.

She explains that the dancers will circle about a wishing well, placed in the center of the floor, while Mel McKee's orchestra, hidden in an enchanted garden, will serenade an invisible princess in a castle tower. Overhead, a spider will crouch in his web, and over the entire scene colored lights will cast a soft glow. The dancing will end at midnight and will be followed by lunch.

Anna UUin," Herbert C. Ruckmick, and Pat Allan, who were judges of the Klipsun snapshot contest, have made their decision and the prizes were awarded to the folowing people. The first prize was awarded to John Durr. His snapshot was taken mal students, sailed for Alaska Mon at Normalstad, depicting a jolly day evening on the Catharine D good time in a "tippy canoe". The second prize was given to Stuart Fresk, whose snap seems to summer working in a PAF cannery, be interpretating the evolution of man as portrayed by Herbert Eisner, who is apparently sitting in the top of a tree. Alvera James, winner of the third award, submitted a rare snapshot of two well known people on the campus. These pictures were judged according to their originality, composition value, and quality of print. Pat Allan, editor of this year's Klipsun, was pleased with the number of snaps that were submitted. o Dancing Class Has Change in Schedule Emil Starlund, instructor of the dancing classes on Monday and Wednesday evenings, has announced that the Wednesday classes, which have heretofore been open to all the students, will now begin special lessons in tango for the more advanced dancers. "We are limiting this class to about 40 couples", says Starlund. Each person who wishes to attend the advanced class will be expected to bring a partner. There has been quite a bit of progress in the beginners' classes. There has been an average of about 80 students attending each time. Taxes Take Ten; Ao Knockout Allowed Simply Because Venality Verifies Vitality Dry bones make an ugly sound when rattled. Political skeletons are no exception. Then, too, I have, personally, no desire to cast the least shadow on the reputation of any po-itical party or business group. But out in our garage I found some hand bills that said on one side, "Beware of the Sales Tax, Vote Against Initiative No. 94", and on the other side, "Keep taxes off the Workingmen's Bread and Butter and so per se", signed, "Citizens' Legislative League". I won't say, MTne following is of vital interest to every tax payer',, but just the same—Any tax is a levy on goods in hand, a percentage of Everyman's subsistence, or in literary terms an infinitesimal particle of globious nutriment from each supper's butter pat, for the doing of a group enterprise. We have direct taxes, an income tax (unconstitutional by public acclaim), and property taxes (that's limited by Initiative 94). Then we have subtle indirect taxes on gas, liquor, pinochle cards, and horse races, sales taxes (how many tokens have you?), and tariff taxes.

Mr. Citizen, we cast it into the lap of fate and your green cheesecloth voting machine. In the meantime we'll pay for something with the sales tax if it takes all summer. o Zwaschka Speaks To Club Members "Recent Revolutionary Trends" was the topic for discussion at the meeting of the Social Science club last Tuesday, May 14. Harold Zwaschka was the principal speaker of the evening. He spoke on the revolution in Spain and after his talk, questions were asked by the audience.

Little man, what now? Do you remember the kindly, fatherly gentleman, the robust, brotherly gentlemen and the optimistic, high-pressure gentlemen who visited your high school and mine and made the auditorium resound with words of cheer and encouragement. There was, for an instance, the very popular and very moral story of the baseball player who refused to die on third, but, watching his opportunities, succeeded in stealing home and thereby saved the game. Boy, what an inspiration! All it took in those days to work your way from the warehouse to the president's office was the dogged determination not to die on third and a high school education. * * * * * Of course, all this took place back in those Horatio Alger days before the economic upset. I have not attended a commencement exercise in the past five years, and for all I know, it may be a more sophisticated brood that takes the stage in early June. A brood that talks bravely of drastic readjustments in our social and economic system, rather than heroic doings with raw timber. But I doubt it. * * * * * Casual mention of Horatio Alger opens a field rich in feature story material. Everybody has, at one time or another, read the Alger books, and everybody was probably more or less impressed by the high virtuousness of the Alger characters, Phil the Fiddler, Mark Mason, Joe the Bootblack, etc. Fortunately, however, no one seemingly was ever inspired to follow in the footsteps of these Alger monstrosities. History has yet to record a personality so disgustingly honest, so priggishly so irritatingly clean hero of Alger fiction. minded as a contribution, "In order to teach geography properly, a good atlas is an essential instrument". A mighty sound statement there, refute. I mean to say its rather sound. Yes, that's right; a good atlas is just the thing to teach geography with. I fear. First Place in Press Contest Won by Viking All-American Rating Is Awarded Normal Weekly for Issues of Fall Quarter Dornblut Edits Winner 'A Fine College Paper' Comment Newspaper Critics Dornblut, Jr. edited the Viking. This is the first year the Normal paper has won Ail-American, the highest rating obtainable, which rates the paper as superior. Many Papers Compete Two hundred fourteen papers competed in the contest. All papers entered are classified according to size of school and frequency of publication. To receive Ail-American rating, papers in the four year teacher college class must receive a total of 750 points. The Viking record scored 780 points and, according to the score summary, excelled in headlines, make-up, department pages, and special features. The editorial column received a perfect score. "A fine college paper" was the final comment of the judges. Twenty-Two People on Staff Staff editors who worked for the winning paper last fall quarter are the following: Ralph Shenenberger, managing editor; Barbara Shute, news editor; Phil Campbell, sports editor, Melvin Munson, assistant; Syd Lines and Nancy Jane Smith, co-feature editors; and Jean Tuey, society editor. Don Norlin and Don School Picnic Features Dance Dance Will Be Held on Tennis Court with Loiuse Schulz As Chairman That dancing will be the main feature of this year's All-School picnic was the decision made at a joint committee meeting last night. It decided to dispense with all other plans for entertainment. The dance will be held May 24 on the tennis courts. Location Not Available The decision was made after hearing the report of Mabel Rolle, chairman of the event. Each of the possible places for holding the affair has some disadvantage. At Wiser lake, the only hall is owned by the Ladies' aid. There is no dance hall at Lake Samish or Lake Whatcom. Birch Bay is too far away. As long as Campus day was held as a picnic, it was decided to have only the dance. The orchestra for the affair has not been selected. Water Carnival To Be Held The water carnival, which was planned for the afternoon, will be held at a later date, according to Bernice Finley, who has supervised the preparation. Although the tickets have ben printed, they will not be sold, and student body tickets will admit to the dance. With the change of picnic, the Students Give Opinions on Changing Normalstad's Name to Coincide With Proposed New Normal School Title not function: transportation, Fran cis Fisher; tickets, Emil Starlund; sports, Bill Taylor; food, Mildred Stoeker.

Although the name is fitting for the play place of Vikings, it is carrying the idea of one nationality a little too far. Gordon Millikan:.. If the efforts being made to change the name of the school from Washington State Normal school at Bellingham to Western Washington College of Education are successful, I think it will be better that Normalstad be given a new name that will coincide with our proposed new title. June Larson: I am not in favor of changing the name. If we are to be called Vikings, then why not carry out the Scandinavian theme? Wes Kandrup: I think changing the name is a good idea. If the name of the school is changed, then the name of Normalstad should be also. Lorene Smith: I think Normal- There stad is a bit too prosaic for our lovely recreation spot, and therefore should be changed. Emil Starlund: If the name of the school is to be changed, then I think Normalstad should also be changed, but the Viking theme ought to be carried out in the new name. Ruth Pearson: If we are to be a college and not a normal school, I think the name for Normalstad should be more dignified.

New Wrinkles On The Cerebellum Traditions Should Be Retained * This year's All-School picnic will be a home affair, without the picnic. If we are in favor of breaking traditions, the idea of supplementing a tennis-court dance for the beach program is fine. But why have only the dance? On each Campus day in the past the afternoon has been devoted to field sports and competition. This year the varsity baseball game was the feature of the afternoon. Yes, and even the popular water fight was lost. Why not then, on next Friday afternoon, have some of the things that were missed on Campus day? It is entirely probable that the humorous feud between Bartons and Daniels hall has not yet died completely, so the water fight is possible. And another main feature of the afternoon might be a softball game between the students and faculty. Those features of Campus day we hate to lose, so why not use them next Friday? The Book Case By Bill Pierron OUR PLANET, an Atlas of the World, mond and Co., Brooklyn. 1935. $5.00. C. B. Ham- In order to teach geography properly a good atlas of the World is an lt; essential instrument. It is also exceedingly useful in keeping track of contemporary world affairs. This new Hammond atlas, "Our Planet" is an excellent compilation of maps. It gives a fairly thorough treatment of all parts of the world. It is particularly good in dealing with the United States, giving almost every state a full page map showing county divisions. The book also contains the 1930 U. S. census figures, the latest foreign census figures and a good gazeteer of the world, giving brief, concise information about almost every political division. There are many other interesting features such as tables of highest mountains, largest lakes, etc. Though atlases are likely to become dated politically, this one is as timely as possible and will probably remain useful for a long time. Good atlases have long fascinated me, so I am rather enthusiastic over "Our Planet". It is not too large to carry about, yet it is big enough to give a very satisfactory mapping of the earth's surface. When I was in grade school, I wore out two or three atlases poring over them, and while I may have been conspicuously mediocre in much of my work, geography was my one strong point. I suppose that is the main reason for my affection for atlases and why I like "Our Planet" so well. For anyone with imagination an atlas like "Our Planet" can furnish much entertainment and valuable instruction. The assignment sheet says that I must talk about tokens. Well, let's see now....tokens....Better try to pun on it, maybe. Ah....Token number from one to ten. No, that's not so good. Better moralize. A token saved is a token earned. Take care of your tokens, young man, and the pennies will take care of themselves. (That's not so good either. Is it? ONE HUNDRED WORDS Cultivate the art of clever, impressive dialogue. Here are some suggestions that will prove invaluable if used correctly. Close all political arguments with, "If you don't like this country, go back where you came from". When the hearse rolls by, "Well, here today, gone tomorrow. You never know". When consoling some one who is about to lose his home, his wife, and j his faith in democracy, "The main thing, old man, is not to worry". In soothing a youngster who is earnestly probing Life's mysteries, "When you are older you will un derstand". In commenting upon unintelligent recitations by students of history, "Well, yeeess and nooo". For a plugged token I'd quit this and start writing about Mae West.) Not to change the subject, but has anyone sent J. D. Rockefeller a chain letter yet? Mailing out dimes ought to be right up his alley. This chain letter madness will have to become international if we tail-enders are going to make anything out of it. The thing is good only so long as it expands. If we got it started in China or Russia where there is still plenty of frontier . . . . Now, about these tokens. They are made of aluminum, they are larger than a nickel and smaller than a quarter; they won't fit a slot machine and they are going to be a bloody nuisance. What more can be said? Besides, trying to dash out last minute copy up here in the Viking office where everyone is token and yelling is not so easy as this column might suggest.

The Husky babes were too strong for the Vikings in the two mile, shot put, 440, and the relay. Taylor, Johnsen, and Kenoyer were the only first place winners for the local team. Holder turned in a surprising six foot high jump that gave him a tie for second. McKenzie also improved his javelin throwing to give him a nice second spot. The bright Ijght of the frosh team was the ease which Vandermay showed in getting over the 6.1 stick in the high jump. He did not try to go higher but Coach Sam Carver said that he did not doubt that the Lynden boy could get up at least two more inches.

Pacing what will probably be one of their strongest tests this season, the Viking netsters tangle with the Ellensburg squad tomorrow morning on the-local courts. Ellensburg Has Good-Record So far this season the Wildcats have an impressive record and one of their best teams in years. On the basis of the Frosh meet last Saturday, the easterners have a one-match advantage on the locals. In last week's play in Seattle the Yearlings hacked the Wildcats 5-2, while the Vikings were beaten by the Frosh 6-1, earlier in the season. Hadley and Denslow are the big guns for the Wildcats, playing No. 1 and 2 spot respectively. Jose and Johnson are other potential threats on the squad. Last summer Denslow had the distinction of being a partner on the winning doubles team in the Yakima invitational tennis meet. Shangle In No. 1 Spot For the Vikings, Shangle as usual will lead off at No. 1 man, playing either Hadley or Denslow. Star-lund will probably take over the No. 2 spot with Mullen, Orloff, and Joly following in the order named. In the doubles play the Shangle- Starlund, Mullen-Orloff combinations will probably participate. This match will have an important bearing in the choosing of players to go to the tri-normal meet next week. Here's good news for Viking football fans. All of next year's football games are going to be held on Battersby field. And they will all be night games, too. Maybe the baseball games will be held there as well. Then the coaches can charge.admission. They might make enough money to buy chewing tobacco for Miller and Zwaschka. I read in a magazine article recently that the average age for major league baseball players is 24 years . . . Tough luck, Pop Miller.. . and we had such hopes. During the last two weeks, Coach Sam Carver has been busier than Ghandi in a windstorm. With three sports under his care, he has lost plenty of sleep getting his teams back and forth from their games. With his track team 'having two meets, his golf squad two meets, and his tennis team four games, he has no fear of insomnia. What a chance for the tri-normal, the Viking track team will have if they take Cheney tomorrow! Holder, Johnsen, Taylor, Kenoyer, and Brinkman look like sure point winners. If the rest of the team can come through,., we., stand., a., good chance... The strength of Ellens* burg has already been tested in the triangular meet with CPS.

Badminton Games Still in Progress Good headway is being made in the badminton tournament in which there are fewer enthusiasts than in the tennis. The games started May 14 with the championship tournaments to be played off June 4. Women's Physical Education department tennis tournament is now in full swing, starting May 9, and the actual games, and tne runners-up for the championship will be made evident by May 23, which is the last date for tennis matches. After that date, the players will be playing for the championship. The coaching class is refereeing the intramural baseball and speed-ball games which are now in progress.

Showing a complete reversal of form, the Viking racquet wielders decisively defeated the College of Puget Sound netsters 5-2 at Tacoma, Tuesday. Joly in the singles, and the Orloff-Mullen combination in the doubles, were the only men to lose their matches. Shangle Leads Rout '" . Shangle, playing in the number 1 spot, started the rout off by overwhelming Eastes 6-1, 6-1. The diminutive little Viking netman had the match well in hand from the start and had Eates back on his heels all the way. Starlund continued to look good in beating Clifford after three hard sets, 6-4, 3-6, 6-4. If the big Norseman can maintain his present stride, he stands a good chance of making the tri-normal trip. Mullen had the hardest assignment of the day when the Tacomans switched McElroy, their No. 1 man, to third spot, figuring that he would have-a better chance in that position. Playing his best tennis of the season, Mullen overcame the CPS star 2-6, 6-3, 7-5.

BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON I SCHOOL WEEKLY ANTE-I-OVER CAMPUS DAY AND YE DIARY Now thatsthe men are well settled in their own den, we suggest that they invite the men faculty members to drop in occasionally and exchange ideas... No doubt both factions would benefit. ; *-——W. S. N. S. i t is a small number of the students who really know how much work, time, and care some of the students arid faculty concentrate on issuing this paper each week. The group working for the paper strive hard to make it good, and if the rest of the school was given a glimpse of the process, they would increase their estimation of the weekly. —W. S. N. S. :— ...."Ante-I-Over"! Individuals, from f schools to preachers, with the fam-ly fire-siders thrown in for good measure, are playing it. The obstruction for them to throw the arguement-laden "ball" over, is the new generation. First, one "team" tosses the ball over, filled with eulogies on the sensibility of "us youngsters' with our frankness of Truth and Sex, as well as our long list of freedoms. —-—W. S. N. S. Then team two, on the other side of the "new generation" partition, gives its "Ante-I-Over" call of the wild and heaves the ball back, chock full cf prophecies concerning our heading the old Ship of State straight for the rocky reefs of destruction. W. S. N. S. On and on they wrangle with the same old line, and none of them in any position to cross-section youth's angels, devils. That is, they keep throwing the ball back and forth, trying to keep in style. It is worked on the same principle as the weather. If they haven't the ingenuity to talk or write of something original, .they start playing the above mentioned children's game. ——-W. S. N. S. Most of us are tired of it. Thus Normalite suggests that they take the "Ante-I" ball over and play golf with it, thereby standing a better chance of slicing it into the creek, jointly losing and drowning it, and all its new generation hooie. W. S. N. S.— After being drawn out over a long period of time, the Song Contest has almost come to an end. Now most of us will be able to drop off to sleep without a plea for "More Songs" ringing in our ears. W. S. N. S. Let's make this Campus Day an exception. "Everyone pitch in and work hard when he is supposed to, and not get industrious only to the tune of paddle whacks. W. S. N. S. After looking over the Calendar Board Chooses Cole For Vodvil Manager; Campus Day Planned Quentin Quick presided over the Board of Control meeting for the first time since his election, at its regular meeting Monday. Applications for the position of Viking Vodvil manager were received, and Bert Cole was. chosen to ttake the job. I t was voted to award the two yell leaders, Lyle Markhart and Jack Musser, sweaters for their work as cheer extractors. The Campus Day program was announced at the Board meeting as has been outlined by Generalissimo . C. Ruckmick. A representative to the Song Contest committee from the Student body will be appointed by President Quick. John Thorpe made a financial report of the Klipsun. o : FROSH PICNIC NEXT FRIDAY AT SAMISH TRYOUTS FOR VIKING VODVIL TO BE HELD THURSDAY. MAY 15 Bert Cole Appointed Manager of Annual Affair; Event to Occur Monday Evening, May 19. Full Program Planned for the Day IncludeSfDancing; Hutchins Heads Affair; Transportation Wanted Although.it has never been definitely proved that a pot of gold lies at the end of each rainbow, it is assured that a great, big container of tne yellow dust will be at the end of the trail for all those attending the Frosh picnic and dance at Rainbow Beach, on Friday, May 9. At least the entertainment planned for them should be equivalent to their share of the booty. Cars will be provided for all that make the trip, and it is planned to start the gold quest about four o'clock. After reaching the destination, a full program will immediately get under way, with amusements to suit everyone's taste. This will be topped off with a dance, which will be in full swing from seven until ten that night. The transportation committee, under the leadership of Jack Musser, has quite a problem to solve in getting a means of transportation for all who wish to go. Anyone that can possiby get a car for the occasion should confer with Mr. Musser as soon as possible. Any Freshman who hasn't paid this quarters class dues, will have to do so before being eligible to go. Earl Hutchins is the general chairman of the affair, and has a group of committeemen working under him. o DE MOLAYS TO DANCE AT BELLINGHAM HOTEL The annual Viking Vodvil got under way this week when the Board of Control appointed Bert Cole to the managership of the affair, which is to be given Monday evening, May 19. This will allow the various stunt workers a chance to turn out well executed Vodvil acts. . "Although the Thespians won the cup last year* for the best act", Bert Cole declared, "several of the other organizations have already started to go out after the coveted trophy. Any kind of act may be entered, and singing acts, dancing numbers, patter acts, or what-hav'e-you may win for the club the right to have its name on the cup." Preliminary tryouts for a place on .the bill will be held on the Thursday night before the date of the Vodvil, and the best acts will be chosen for the show! Last year the Thespians won with an interpretation of a carnival side show, ,,c(the kind "the folks all "come on bvah and see for a dime, ten cents", and the Frosh were runners-up with a May Pole dance, featuring Dixon," Ames, Rajala, and others.

The Chuckanut Chapter, of De Molay will hold its annual dance in the new Bellingham Hotel, May lt; gt;17. It was previously to have been held in April, but unforseen complications made it necessary to postpone it until the seventeenth of May, nevertheless the affair should be carried off as brilliantly as former De Molay dances. Normal students are invited, and may get tickets from any member of the local chapter at one dollar per couple. • • •—o EXTENSION DEPARTMENT Students of Miss Pragst's 7a Technique class have been gaining experience in typing by working part time in the Extension department. This practice is of a special value as it gives actual experience on the typewriter. PHILOS WILL SAIL ON YACHT THETIS TRACK MEET PROGRAMS SOON READY FOR PRESS STUDIES FORGOTTEN FORSOLAR ECLIPSE Stiff hecks, "soot smudged fingers and black tipped noses were, in order last Monday as Normalites, old and .young, attempted with the aid of smoked glass, to see "Ole Sol" hide part of his beaming countenance behind the fair form of the moon. The height of his concealment came at about 11:15 when only a small - portion of his face could be seen .'• above the top of the moon. Room 201, where students darkened and oftentimes broke pieces of window glasses by holding them over .,:'burning' candles, was the scene of .much of the excitement. It was in this room, that several of the boys had, difficulty in obtaining pieces of smoked glass, for no sooner would some youth get a piece of glass •properly smoked than some "fair . young maiden" would sadly remark, "I wish I could burn glass as dark as that". Thereupon the gallant youth would promptly hand over his \:t%just finished work and would be ^forced- to start anew.

They will sail on the yacht Thetis for Crescent beach, on Orcas Island, and will stay over night there in cabins. A dance hall has been reserved for Saturday night and 4 dancing will probably take up the greater part of the evening. Since Mount Constitution is on the island, hiking has been planned for Saturday or Sunday as the membei's choose. Sports will be part of the entertainment and swimming will have its place for the brave few. Frank Lock told the club that the boat could be chartered for the trip and that for a certain definite sum he would plan out the meals so that the club would have no responsibility of preparation on its hands. Joe Weatherby, Ruth Sam-mons, John Thorpe and Al Brazas will make up a committee to help him. After the business meeting and final plans for the week-end party had been made, a program was given by members of the club. Mariette Bergeron, as chairman of the entertainment committee was in charge .v of this. Arden Benthien opened the entertainment with several banjo solos, and was followed by a piano solo by John Mowad. Marion Mar-chand gave a book review on "Dido, Queen of Hearts", by 'Gertrude Ath-erton, and Louise Oberleitner, a n ew member, ended the program with a piano solo. Light trousers and blue coats will be the vogue at the Men's Sport Formal to be,held at the Crystal ballroom of the Leopold Hotel May 10. With the coming of Spring the men felt that a sport dance would be in order, and the club decided .to hold such an affair and to try and make it the outstanding event of the year. The ticket sales have been limited to 110 couples. This will be the first time that the Men's Club of Normal has attempted two dances in one year, and the committee working under Charles Dewey is sparing no effort to make the dance as unusual as its "idea". Tickets will be on sale, Monday morning in the Men's Club room. —— o CHILD DENTAL CLINIC HELD IN BELLINGHAM The fifth annual Campus Day will begin at 8 a. m., Tuesday, May 13, under the able direction of Herbert C.

Macgill Clayton Unger Julia Bouck Hugh Lovegren S T U D E N T D E P R E C I A T I ON . The Viking suggests that the new Board of Control, in beginning its year's routine of solving the student body problems, attack first that one which seems to warrant the most serious consideration, that little old problem of "student appreciation", which in the.light of recent events might well be renamed "student depreciation". The Viking does not suggest that to solve this problem will be an easy matter. , On the back of one of the Viking questionnaires collected after the assembly a week ago, appeared a bit of impromptu student writing which expressed very well a certain viewpoint on the appreciation problem. This is an unexpurged copy: • ' Well, here we are again, suffering another of those wonderful assemblies. The so-called musical artists that entertain ( ? ) us today were three women from Seattle. I guess they are musicians all right, but what healthy, normal Normal student can enjoy such stuff as they had to offer when we can't even read the title to the piece. Maybe, if they would play something that we can hear" and associate with some written words that we could understand, we might be able to appreciate their work a little more than we do at present. • v It seems odd that the students of this school have so little to do with the selection of the program for the assemblies when we consider that it is the students that pay for the entertainment. The Average Normal Student. Many students feel that way about it, although not all of them can express themslves quite so fluently as this "average student", and an increasingly alarming number, considering the fact that this is an institution of grown up boys and girls, are expressing themselves on every possible occasion by disregarding the rules of decency and courtesy, (if they know the rules of courtesy). The Viking proposes that the President of die Student's Association invite the discussion of this question in assembly, and that the Board take some action regarding what is becoming an increasingly disgraceful situation. The Viking suggests that one of the following conclusions be arrived a t : that the existing program of entertainment be continued, but that the student body impose some discipline upon itself; that a different type of program be made more suitable to the "average" taste; or that the students be not required to attend recitals by musical artists. If the purpose of the assemblies is educational, the Viking suggests that the education be made elemental enough to include what the training school youngsters get a background of courtesy and good manners. Student Attacks Glub Problem; Merger Of Groups Is Suggested Well, here y'are, studes. We certainly hate to keep harping on how the time flies,., but.. gee-»-don't.. it though. Migosh, it's open season for lawn-mowing again and we've heard rumors about groups of Trids that have been swimming, both in the Sound and in Lake Samish, (br-r^ r-r-r),.. and., o-o-o-oh,.. (dismal groaning), some of the instructors are starting to talk seriously about term papers and stuff again. Seems to us we just barely., got., through with 'em. Life is just one term paper after another. —o— Steps in the Art of Becoming Acquainted with the Fair Sex Before Education at W. S. N."S. "Listen, baby! If you likes to, look me over, why I don't blame you none, myself, and it don't bother me, not a bit. In fact, youse has got nice eyes, an' I rather likes to have 'em lookin at me". After Education at W-. S. N. S.: "Say, "Queenie, if concentrated contemplation of my physiognomy affords you any considerable gratification, amusing or otherwise, you are at perfect liberty to cast your lovely orbs in my direction at each and every opportunity which is seemly to you." —o— You see, a much, much snappier version, taken all around. The'value of education is thus established. (And say, by the way, there's no baloney about this either. The latter missive is not of our own composition at all. We could never have written it. We have not been in school long enough. We picked it up where it had been dropped, tear-stained, crumpled, and nameless. The original will be preserved for the benefit of disbelievers). —o— TRAINING SCHOOL WIT: Teacher: Johnny, what is a collision? Johnny: — Teacher: Well, I'll tell you.'

Well, now that just shows that you've been runnin' in th' wrong circles. You try goin' t' church once an' you'll find out th' truth quick enough.

Every time he'll say, 'A-men!' There, now. I guess that'll hold you". Well, well, so you're an interpreter". "Yes, I speak all the languages except Greek". "Can you speak German?" "No". ...."French or Spanish?" "No". "Just a minute. I understood you to say you spoke all languages except Greek". "Oh well, those other languages are Greek to me". From Portland Mistakes are curious things. Out of them, come results great and small, tragic and humorous. One recently occurred in connection with a student's earnest pursuit of his industrial arts project that you may classify for yourself. The student, it would seem, was interested in cement work, and particularly in t he structure of concrete roadways. Accordingly, he wrote a casual letter to the Portland Cement Co., of: Portland, Oregon, requesting information concerning the building of a concrete highway. AH of which was very good. But imagine his high consternation when a construction engineer from that company dropped in upon him, presently, to talk over the matter. The Portland Cement Co. had inferred that his interest in cement was much more sincere and materialistic than it proved "to be. Conceive also the surprise of the engineer when he met for the first time the supposed business man who was contemplating the construction of a concrete highway. Probably the shock of meeting,was fairly divided between the two. _ . „ The engineer, fortunately, posses-, sed a sense of humor. After t he matter was' explained, he laughingly supplied the student generously with the desired information, said he \ras glad to have met him regardless of circumstances, shook hands, grinned, and departed for Portland. o Photpgraphjr lt;3kss t Engaged in Art of Picture Making didn;%t have?: And another thing that turn out the way it should The car just in front of me. 0 T Kibbe Mystery Clear at Last 4.,,—„„—,„ in—mi—* mi ——nu——•mi—IIIH—nit—•—mji ]Normaliies Earn j I in Devious Waysl 4w_.n_„„__„._„»_„,_,,_»„_„»_, ARTICLE I "-r-Unconsciously sapping the life of the student". Perhaps few students here have regarded our well-thought-of clubs as having a side to them of rather a parasitic nature—which has been allowed to grow from year to year and is unconsciously sapping the life of the student.

What good have these clubs done for the student body? ' The Social Science ---------- Northwest Viking - 1930 May 2 - Page 3 ---------- V^HINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL. BEIXINCHAM/ WASHINGTON »WW gt;WMWcw lt;W.'} RELAY TEAM SENT TO CARNIVAL •Tomorrow will find a relay team • f r om the Viking track squad in Seattle as guest of the University of ;•' Washington for the annual Northwest relay carnival. Every year the "Normal school enters at least a mile relay team. In the past a medlay t e am and'sprinters have been en- .--'•'tered but because of .the. lack", of "sprinters this year the medlay team and sprinters have been omitted. The-relay carnival is represented by teams from California institutions, Oregon schools and colleges of Washington. Some of the best track athletes of the world compete at this meet which makes it one of the most interesting, meets of the United States. —o— TENNIS TEAM MEETS FROSH The Norsemen net men will meet the tennis squad of the U. of W. Frosh this afternoon^ at Seattle. During the past years the Normal tennis teams have won but two matches from the.Prosh. The team being exceedingly weak this year may bring forth just another, year of defeat for the Viking players. But some teams must be played in order that the team may gain experience for the Tri-Normal meet, which is to be held here May 24. The shortage of good competition makes it necessary that the squad meets the Prosh annually. ST. MARTIN'S GAME The Vikings will open the baseball season with plenty of pep and determination this year when they meet the St. Martin's nine on Waldo field at 2:30 Saturday. The St. Martin's school always puts out teams that are a worry to the Norsemen nine. Not much can be said besides what has already been stated about the visiting team who seem to have kept themselves in very good seclusion up to the present time not letting out any dope as to the possible strength of then-team. I think it would be altogether fitting and proper if the Student Body would turn out 100% strong , Saturday to back the team in their first^attempt. A NEW METHOD IN BASKETBALL A new method to prevent stalling was presented at the annual meeting of the National Association of Basketball Coaches, by Ray Hanson. There were 200 coaches from all over the United ( States discussing the game of basketball. The most important point discussed was: "Staging in Basketball". The method of enforcing the rule of anti stalling is to do away with low scores and make the game more interesting. Many of the coaches seemed to be in favor of the new plan but Meanwell of Wisconsin, and Koegen of Notre Dame thought the method meant too drastic a change from the present. The anti-stalling method is as follows: Speed, dash, dribbling, fast breaking, lightning passing, maximum of action, and no chance to stall. Here we have it. On any court, no matter how long or how short—mark a line across 44 feet from end line; -that is fourten feet from your normal defensive front line—no matter what style of defense you are using. The front of defense usually forms 30 feet from end line. When the offense receives the ball he must move forward by dribbling or passing. He is allowed one backward pass—no more. • He may hold the ball still for three seconds (officially counting to 15). When the members of the offensive go over the active line, they may retreat back to the "Action Line". Within this line they may stall all they like, pass and dribble in any direction they, choose just so they don't throw or carry the ball back over the "Action Line". On jump ball near action line the offensive may-t ap ball back overtime once. If he does this the rules for offensive basketball applies. Note: defensive will not go into offensive territory • to get the ball. Ball out of bounds to opponents— side nearest to where violation occurs. • N ' ' ' . • • /. Violation— 1. Ball passed back to offensive man standing on "Action Line". " 2 . Ball passed back to player over the "Action Line". ••.:.. 3.L Fumbled ball over "Action Line" by offensive team. / .4. Hold the. ball over 3 seconds (Counting to 15). , . - • '• - 5 . Passing ball back more than once. 6. Passing, ball directly sideward more than orice. VIKINGS TO S t ; MARTIN^ NINE HERE TOMORROW Viking Baseball Team to Play St. Martin's College on Waldo Field; -Should Be a Fast Game.' Saturday at 2:30 on Waldo Field the Viking ball chasers will line up against a tough nine from St. Martin's College. The St. Martin boys have a strong team boasting victories over Gentralia Jr. College, and a p. s. : :. The Vikings have a team with lots of prospects and are given a good chance to win provided they do not throw, the game away with wild throws, as they did in their last practice game. Stiff workouts have been held all week to work off the rough spots and the Vikings are out to hand the St. Martin nina the small end of the score. Following, is a list of the probable line-up which, will start the game: Eacrett, ss; J. McCleary, rf; H. McCleary c; Thorsen lb; Iverson, p; Unger, If; Peterson, 2b; Emery, cf; Miller, 3b. '' Johnston, Gravrock, Dixon, Blan-" kenship, and a few others will probably be sent in in an effort to find the most successful combination. _ _ — o ; HUNT LEADS ARCHERY TOURNAMENT; GIRLS CONTEST FOR PLACES Miss e s Make Trip to Cabin from Whatcom Falls A tournament is in full sway now amongst the archers of the gx-oup which turns out for 4 o'clock sports. Bertha Hunt leads the contest having won two of her matches and losing none. There are yet about five matches to be played off before championship is decided. In the first round of play, Inez Krehsler defeated Josephine Welke; Marie Holzer won from Gladys Steele; Phyllis Bresnan lost to Lois Thompson; Bertha Hunt conquered Edythe Koski; and Maxine Towner won from Virginia May. In the second round which is not yet finished, Bertha Hunt has defeated Maxine Towner to hold the top of the list, and Edythe Koski won from Virginia May to come back into the conquering line. , o Barnyard Golfers Fight for Places Leaders to date in the race for "Barnyard Golf" honors are: Al Brazas, "Posey' Flowers, and Bob Carboneau. The1 rest of the boys are hot on their trails and the leaders are warned to look out. Among the handball smashers we find Kenneth Owen sitting on the top rung of the ladder with a close victory over "Sandy" Sanders. The other participants are not far behind and are prepared to give Owens a stiff battle for the top position.

Here they spent some time getting acquainted with the cabin and its surroundings. Meal time soon came around. Miss George brought a reflector to bake biscuits in. The dough was mixed and placed in the reflector and nice downy biscuits were the result. Weinies and marshmallows were roasted over the fire. . The girls spent the rest of the time playing games and'singing. They left the cabin at 9:30, after a very eventful afternoon and evening. 19 GIRLS WILL PLAY AT U.

The stage was decorated in greens and spring flowers, arid the dainty printed programs were in yellow and green. The program consisted of poetry and songs of nature, interspersed with a group of rhyming riddles illustrated by t he students themselves.

BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON I SCHOOL WEEKLY ANTE-I-OVER CAMPUS DAY AND YE DIARY Now thatsthe men are well settled in their own den, we suggest that they invite the men faculty members to drop in occasionally and exchange ideas... No doubt both factions would benefit. ; *-——W. S. N. S. i t is a small number of the students who really know how much work, time, and care some of the students arid faculty concentrate on issuing this paper each week. The group working for the paper strive hard to make it good, and if the rest of the school was given a glimpse of the process, they would increase their estimation of the weekly. —W. S. N. S. :— ...."Ante-I-Over"! Individuals, from f schools to preachers, with the fam-ly fire-siders thrown in for good measure, are playing it. The obstruction for them to throw the arguement-laden "ball" over, is the new generation. First, one "team" tosses the ball over, filled with eulogies on the sensibility of "us youngsters' with our frankness of Truth and Sex, as well as our long list of freedoms. —-—W. S. N. S. Then team two, on the other side of the "new generation" partition, gives its "Ante-I-Over" call of the wild and heaves the ball back, chock full cf prophecies concerning our heading the old Ship of State straight for the rocky reefs of destruction. W. S. N. S. On and on they wrangle with the same old line, and none of them in any position to cross-section youth's angels, devils. That is, they keep throwing the ball back and forth, trying to keep in style. It is worked on the same principle as the weather. If they haven't the ingenuity to talk or write of something original, .they start playing the above mentioned children's game. ——-W. S. N. S. Most of us are tired of it. Thus Normalite suggests that they take the "Ante-I" ball over and play golf with it, thereby standing a better chance of slicing it into the creek, jointly losing and drowning it, and all its new generation hooie. W. S. N. S.— After being drawn out over a long period of time, the Song Contest has almost come to an end. Now most of us will be able to drop off to sleep without a plea for "More Songs" ringing in our ears. W. S. N. S. Let's make this Campus Day an exception. "Everyone pitch in and work hard when he is supposed to, and not get industrious only to the tune of paddle whacks. W. S. N. S. After looking over the Calendar Board Chooses Cole For Vodvil Manager; Campus Day Planned Quentin Quick presided over the Board of Control meeting for the first time since his election, at its regular meeting Monday. Applications for the position of Viking Vodvil manager were received, and Bert Cole was. chosen to ttake the job. I t was voted to award the two yell leaders, Lyle Markhart and Jack Musser, sweaters for their work as cheer extractors. The Campus Day program was announced at the Board meeting as has been outlined by Generalissimo . C. Ruckmick. A representative to the Song Contest committee from the Student body will be appointed by President Quick. John Thorpe made a financial report of the Klipsun. o : FROSH PICNIC NEXT FRIDAY AT SAMISH TRYOUTS FOR VIKING VODVIL TO BE HELD THURSDAY. MAY 15 Bert Cole Appointed Manager of Annual Affair; Event to Occur Monday Evening, May 19. Full Program Planned for the Day IncludeSfDancing; Hutchins Heads Affair; Transportation Wanted Although.it has never been definitely proved that a pot of gold lies at the end of each rainbow, it is assured that a great, big container of tne yellow dust will be at the end of the trail for all those attending the Frosh picnic and dance at Rainbow Beach, on Friday, May 9. At least the entertainment planned for them should be equivalent to their share of the booty. Cars will be provided for all that make the trip, and it is planned to start the gold quest about four o'clock. After reaching the destination, a full program will immediately get under way, with amusements to suit everyone's taste. This will be topped off with a dance, which will be in full swing from seven until ten that night. The transportation committee, under the leadership of Jack Musser, has quite a problem to solve in getting a means of transportation for all who wish to go. Anyone that can possiby get a car for the occasion should confer with Mr. Musser as soon as possible. Any Freshman who hasn't paid this quarters class dues, will have to do so before being eligible to go. Earl Hutchins is the general chairman of the affair, and has a group of committeemen working under him. o DE MOLAYS TO DANCE AT BELLINGHAM HOTEL The annual Viking Vodvil got under way this week when the Board of Control appointed Bert Cole to the managership of the affair, which is to be given Monday evening, May 19. This will allow the various stunt workers a chance to turn out well executed Vodvil acts. . "Although the Thespians won the cup last year* for the best act", Bert Cole declared, "several of the other organizations have already started to go out after the coveted trophy. Any kind of act may be entered, and singing acts, dancing numbers, patter acts, or what-hav'e-you may win for the club the right to have its name on the cup." Preliminary tryouts for a place on .the bill will be held on the Thursday night before the date of the Vodvil, and the best acts will be chosen for the show! Last year the Thespians won with an interpretation of a carnival side show, ,,c(the kind "the folks all "come on bvah and see for a dime, ten cents", and the Frosh were runners-up with a May Pole dance, featuring Dixon," Ames, Rajala, and others.

It was previously to have been held in April, but unforseen complications made it necessary to postpone it until the seventeenth of May, nevertheless the affair should be carried off as brilliantly as former De Molay dances. Normal students are invited, and may get tickets from any member of the local chapter at one dollar per couple. • • •—o EXTENSION DEPARTMENT Students of Miss Pragst's 7a Technique class have been gaining experience in typing by working part time in the Extension department.

The height of his concealment came at about 11:15 when only a small - portion of his face could be seen .'• above the top of the moon. Room 201, where students darkened and oftentimes broke pieces of window glasses by holding them over .,:'burning' candles, was the scene of .much of the excitement. It was in this room, that several of the boys had, difficulty in obtaining pieces of smoked glass, for no sooner would some youth get a piece of glass •properly smoked than some "fair . young maiden" would sadly remark, "I wish I could burn glass as dark as that".

They will sail on the yacht Thetis for Crescent beach, on Orcas Island, and will stay over night there in cabins. A dance hall has been reserved for Saturday night and 4 dancing will probably take up the greater part of the evening. Since Mount Constitution is on the island, hiking has been planned for Saturday or Sunday as the membei's choose. Sports will be part of the entertainment and swimming will have its place for the brave few. Frank Lock told the club that the boat could be chartered for the trip and that for a certain definite sum he would plan out the meals so that the club would have no responsibility of preparation on its hands. Joe Weatherby, Ruth Sam-mons, John Thorpe and Al Brazas will make up a committee to help him. After the business meeting and final plans for the week-end party had been made, a program was given by members of the club. Mariette Bergeron, as chairman of the entertainment committee was in charge .v of this. Arden Benthien opened the entertainment with several banjo solos, and was followed by a piano solo by John Mowad. Marion Mar-chand gave a book review on "Dido, Queen of Hearts", by 'Gertrude Ath-erton, and Louise Oberleitner, a n ew member, ended the program with a piano solo. Light trousers and blue coats will be the vogue at the Men's Sport Formal to be,held at the Crystal ballroom of the Leopold Hotel May 10. With the coming of Spring the men felt that a sport dance would be in order, and the club decided .to hold such an affair and to try and make it the outstanding event of the year. The ticket sales have been limited to 110 couples. This will be the first time that the Men's Club of Normal has attempted two dances in one year, and the committee working under Charles Dewey is sparing no effort to make the dance as unusual as its "idea". Tickets will be on sale, Monday morning in the Men's Club room. —— o CHILD DENTAL CLINIC HELD IN BELLINGHAM The fifth annual Campus Day will begin at 8 a. m., Tuesday, May 13, under the able direction of Herbert C.

Macgill Clayton Unger Julia Bouck Hugh Lovegren S T U D E N T D E P R E C I A T I ON . The Viking suggests that the new Board of Control, in beginning its year's routine of solving the student body problems, attack first that one which seems to warrant the most serious consideration, that little old problem of "student appreciation", which in the.light of recent events might well be renamed "student depreciation". The Viking does not suggest that to solve this problem will be an easy matter. , On the back of one of the Viking questionnaires collected after the assembly a week ago, appeared a bit of impromptu student writing which expressed very well a certain viewpoint on the appreciation problem. This is an unexpurged copy: • ' Well, here we are again, suffering another of those wonderful assemblies. The so-called musical artists that entertain ( ? ) us today were three women from Seattle. I guess they are musicians all right, but what healthy, normal Normal student can enjoy such stuff as they had to offer when we can't even read the title to the piece. Maybe, if they would play something that we can hear" and associate with some written words that we could understand, we might be able to appreciate their work a little more than we do at present. • v It seems odd that the students of this school have so little to do with the selection of the program for the assemblies when we consider that it is the students that pay for the entertainment. The Average Normal Student. Many students feel that way about it, although not all of them can express themslves quite so fluently as this "average student", and an increasingly alarming number, considering the fact that this is an institution of grown up boys and girls, are expressing themselves on every possible occasion by disregarding the rules of decency and courtesy, (if they know the rules of courtesy). The Viking proposes that the President of die Student's Association invite the discussion of this question in assembly, and that the Board take some action regarding what is becoming an increasingly disgraceful situation. The Viking suggests that one of the following conclusions be arrived a t : that the existing program of entertainment be continued, but that the student body impose some discipline upon itself; that a different type of program be made more suitable to the "average" taste; or that the students be not required to attend recitals by musical artists. If the purpose of the assemblies is educational, the Viking suggests that the education be made elemental enough to include what the training school youngsters get a background of courtesy and good manners. Student Attacks Glub Problem; Merger Of Groups Is Suggested Well, here y'are, studes. We certainly hate to keep harping on how the time flies,., but.. gee-»-don't.. it though. Migosh, it's open season for lawn-mowing again and we've heard rumors about groups of Trids that have been swimming, both in the Sound and in Lake Samish, (br-r^ r-r-r),.. and., o-o-o-oh,.. (dismal groaning), some of the instructors are starting to talk seriously about term papers and stuff again. Seems to us we just barely., got., through with 'em. Life is just one term paper after another. —o— Steps in the Art of Becoming Acquainted with the Fair Sex Before Education at W. S. N."S. "Listen, baby!

The'value of education is thus established. (And say, by the way, there's no baloney about this either. The latter missive is not of our own composition at all. We could never have written it.

From Portland Mistakes are curious things. Out of them, come results great and small, tragic and humorous. One recently occurred in connection with a student's earnest pursuit of his industrial arts project that you may classify for yourself. The student, it would seem, was interested in cement work, and particularly in t he structure of concrete roadways. Accordingly, he wrote a casual letter to the Portland Cement Co., of: Portland, Oregon, requesting information concerning the building of a concrete highway. AH of which was very good. But imagine his high consternation when a construction engineer from that company dropped in upon him, presently, to talk over the matter. The Portland Cement Co. had inferred that his interest in cement was much more sincere and materialistic than it proved "to be. Conceive also the surprise of the engineer when he met for the first time the supposed business man who was contemplating the construction of a concrete highway. Probably the shock of meeting,was fairly divided between the two. _ . „ The engineer, fortunately, posses-, sed a sense of humor. After t he matter was' explained, he laughingly supplied the student generously with the desired information, said he \ras glad to have met him regardless of circumstances, shook hands, grinned, and departed for Portland. o Photpgraphjr lt;3kss t Engaged in Art of Picture Making didn;%t have?: And another thing that turn out the way it should The car just in front of me. 0 T Kibbe Mystery Clear at Last 4.,,—„„—,„ in—mi—* mi ——nu——•mi—IIIH—nit—•—mji ]Normaliies Earn j I in Devious Waysl 4w_.n_„„__„._„»_„,_,,_»„_„»_, ARTICLE I "-r-Unconsciously sapping the life of the student". Perhaps few students here have regarded our well-thought-of clubs as having a side to them of rather a parasitic nature—which has been allowed to grow from year to year and is unconsciously sapping the life of the student.

What good have these clubs done for the student body? ' The Social Science ---------- Northwest Viking - 1930 May 2 - Page 3 ---------- V^HINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL. BEIXINCHAM/ WASHINGTON »WW gt;WMWcw lt;W.'} RELAY TEAM SENT TO CARNIVAL •Tomorrow will find a relay team • f r om the Viking track squad in Seattle as guest of the University of ;•' Washington for the annual Northwest relay carnival. Every year the "Normal school enters at least a mile relay team. In the past a medlay t e am and'sprinters have been en- .--'•'tered but because of .the. lack", of "sprinters this year the medlay team and sprinters have been omitted. The-relay carnival is represented by teams from California institutions, Oregon schools and colleges of Washington. Some of the best track athletes of the world compete at this meet which makes it one of the most interesting, meets of the United States. —o— TENNIS TEAM MEETS FROSH The Norsemen net men will meet the tennis squad of the U. of W. Frosh this afternoon^ at Seattle. During the past years the Normal tennis teams have won but two matches from the.Prosh. The team being exceedingly weak this year may bring forth just another, year of defeat for the Viking players. But some teams must be played in order that the team may gain experience for the Tri-Normal meet, which is to be held here May 24. The shortage of good competition makes it necessary that the squad meets the Prosh annually. ST. MARTIN'S GAME The Vikings will open the baseball season with plenty of pep and determination this year when they meet the St. Martin's nine on Waldo field at 2:30 Saturday. The St. Martin's school always puts out teams that are a worry to the Norsemen nine. Not much can be said besides what has already been stated about the visiting team who seem to have kept themselves in very good seclusion up to the present time not letting out any dope as to the possible strength of then-team. I think it would be altogether fitting and proper if the Student Body would turn out 100% strong , Saturday to back the team in their first^attempt. A NEW METHOD IN BASKETBALL A new method to prevent stalling was presented at the annual meeting of the National Association of Basketball Coaches, by Ray Hanson. There were 200 coaches from all over the United ( States discussing the game of basketball. The most important point discussed was: "Staging in Basketball". The method of enforcing the rule of anti stalling is to do away with low scores and make the game more interesting. Many of the coaches seemed to be in favor of the new plan but Meanwell of Wisconsin, and Koegen of Notre Dame thought the method meant too drastic a change from the present. The anti-stalling method is as follows: Speed, dash, dribbling, fast breaking, lightning passing, maximum of action, and no chance to stall. Here we have it. On any court, no matter how long or how short—mark a line across 44 feet from end line; -that is fourten feet from your normal defensive front line—no matter what style of defense you are using. The front of defense usually forms 30 feet from end line. When the offense receives the ball he must move forward by dribbling or passing. He is allowed one backward pass—no more. • He may hold the ball still for three seconds (officially counting to 15). When the members of the offensive go over the active line, they may retreat back to the "Action Line". Within this line they may stall all they like, pass and dribble in any direction they, choose just so they don't throw or carry the ball back over the "Action Line". On jump ball near action line the offensive may-t ap ball back overtime once. If he does this the rules for offensive basketball applies. Note: defensive will not go into offensive territory • to get the ball. Ball out of bounds to opponents— side nearest to where violation occurs. • N ' ' ' . • • /. Violation— 1. Ball passed back to offensive man standing on "Action Line". " 2 . Ball passed back to player over the "Action Line". ••.:.. 3.L Fumbled ball over "Action Line" by offensive team. / .4. Hold the. ball over 3 seconds (Counting to 15). , . - • '• - 5 . Passing ball back more than once. 6. Passing, ball directly sideward more than orice. VIKINGS TO S t ; MARTIN^ NINE HERE TOMORROW Viking Baseball Team to Play St. Martin's College on Waldo Field; -Should Be a Fast Game.' Saturday at 2:30 on Waldo Field the Viking ball chasers will line up against a tough nine from St. Martin's College. The St. Martin boys have a strong team boasting victories over Gentralia Jr. College, and a p. s. : :. The Vikings have a team with lots of prospects and are given a good chance to win provided they do not throw, the game away with wild throws, as they did in their last practice game. Stiff workouts have been held all week to work off the rough spots and the Vikings are out to hand the St. Martin nina the small end of the score. Following, is a list of the probable line-up which, will start the game: Eacrett, ss; J. McCleary, rf; H. McCleary c; Thorsen lb; Iverson, p; Unger, If; Peterson, 2b; Emery, cf; Miller, 3b. '' Johnston, Gravrock, Dixon, Blan-" kenship, and a few others will probably be sent in in an effort to find the most successful combination. _ _ — o ; HUNT LEADS ARCHERY TOURNAMENT; GIRLS CONTEST FOR PLACES Miss e s Make Trip to Cabin from Whatcom Falls A tournament is in full sway now amongst the archers of the gx-oup which turns out for 4 o'clock sports. Bertha Hunt leads the contest having won two of her matches and losing none. There are yet about five matches to be played off before championship is decided. In the first round of play, Inez Krehsler defeated Josephine Welke; Marie Holzer won from Gladys Steele; Phyllis Bresnan lost to Lois Thompson; Bertha Hunt conquered Edythe Koski; and Maxine Towner won from Virginia May. In the second round which is not yet finished, Bertha Hunt has defeated Maxine Towner to hold the top of the list, and Edythe Koski won from Virginia May to come back into the conquering line. , o Barnyard Golfers Fight for Places Leaders to date in the race for "Barnyard Golf" honors are: Al Brazas, "Posey' Flowers, and Bob Carboneau. The1 rest of the boys are hot on their trails and the leaders are warned to look out. Among the handball smashers we find Kenneth Owen sitting on the top rung of the ladder with a close victory over "Sandy" Sanders. The other participants are not far behind and are prepared to give Owens a stiff battle for the top position. FOUR BALL SQUADS IN WOMEN'S LEAGUE MORSE HARDWARE ftCOlffiAip Established 1884 DISTRIBUTORS OF REAGI FOdTElALL SUPPLIES "Stafo'^Skv^, Baseball season broke loose for the women with the beginning of the intramural games. Four big teams have joined the league and some heavy competition is expected before the championship. team is announced to the public. The first-series of games have been, played off and the results show that team 1 was defeated by team 2, and team 3 gave the 4's a thrill but took the score 12 to 11. The first game's score was 11 to 6. -Members of-the team 1 are: Marie Dahl, Suzanne Waters, Esther Daw, Ruth Sammons, Helen Williams, Sadie Herriford, Vina Smith, Dorothy Rees, and Effie Nocula. • Team 2 has Iola Grue, Sigrid Wi-berg, Florence Goodman, Kitty Ze-ran, Irene Sherman, Vera Peterson, Bernice Strohm, Winnifred Closs, Ruth Lockhart, and Evelyn Crowel. Emma Van Hee, Hope Whitnock, Irene Marz, Bernice Gnagey, Gay Smith, Janet Dodson, Edna Sinnes, Rose Marie Harden, Bertha'Schrib-ner are the nine that make up team 3. Team 4 has Vera Waham, Patsy Carlton, Ann Swanson, Alice Bab-cock, Edna Greenwalt, Eleanor Anderson, Lois Thompson, Margaret Spencer, and Sally Sharpes fighting for the team's honor. Last' Saturday Miss Lillian M. George and a group of girls met at Whatcom Falls Park at 4 o'clock. They hiked to a Scout cabin not far from Lake Whatcom. Here they spent some time getting acquainted with the cabin and its surroundings. Meal time soon came around. Miss George brought a reflector to bake biscuits in. The dough was mixed and placed in the reflector and nice downy biscuits were the result. Weinies and marshmallows were roasted over the fire. . The girls spent the rest of the time playing games and'singing. They left the cabin at 9:30, after a very eventful afternoon and evening. 19 GIRLS WILL PLAY AT U. Tomorrow, 19 girls leave for the University of Washington, accompanied by Miss Margery Horton, Miss Ruth Weythman, and Miss Mildred- Jewell to attend the annual play day. Last year, the sports day was held here on the field, and a separate swimming meet at another date at the U. of Washington. This year will be a combination of the two, swimming for all members from 10 to 12 and outdoor sports will be played from 1 to 3 in the afternoon. There will be a luncheon at the Commons and girls will be officially registered in the morning at 9 o'clock. Sports in the afternoon will be tennis, baseball and volleyball. Girls attending the meet are asked to bring swimming caps only, since towels and bathing suits will be given out there. Four cars will leave Bellingham at 6:45 in the morning and will return that night by 7, so *•.*.«*. girls will be home to get ready for t h e informal. The nineteen girls going are Ruth Sammons, Lois Thompson, Irene Marz, Clara Zaddock, Sigrid Wiberg, Marjorie Coventon, Mariette Bergeron, Louisette Bergeron, Olovene Bewley, Katherin Zeran, Marion Marchand. Phyllis Bresnan, Vera Waham, Kathryn Graham, Virginia Carleton, Joyce Arnold, Margaret Sater, Alice Babcock, and Thelma Hilburger. Lois Thompson has been in charge of arrangements for the Sports day.

FIFTH GRADE GIVES ASSEMBLY Friday morning, April 25, the fifth grade, under the direction of Miss Eleanor Osborn, gave a program in rhyme and song, before the students and teachers of the Training School. The assembly came as the culmination of the winter's Vork in health and cleanliness, and the spring idea was carried out in every detail. The stage was decorated in greens and spring flowers, arid the dainty printed programs were in yellow and green. The program consisted of poetry and songs of nature, interspersed with a group of rhyming riddles illustrated by t he students themselves. Exhibitions of: outdoor play," including tumbling acts and pyramids by the boys of the class, added to-the variety of the program, which was greatly eh joyed by t h e audience and received much praise. •••"'•-• ' •'.' 6-— .'

We've gained approximately fifty pounds in chicken and cake and we nearly lost an eye shooting off firecrackers. We may be ^sophisticated students and all, but underneath it—we're still little boys arid girls—and do we have our childish moments? Dearie me! Speaking of children—the childish, childish public takes the cake. . They|re having more fun now with their, little election. They hoot and yell 'and. joke and talk about every man up while the candidates rush madly up and down the platform promising weird things to every man voting. It reminds us somewhat of the good old days when we used to jump up and down and yell, "I won't play unless I can be captain!" It's the same principal, isn't it? A new plan of organization, which is in force at the University of Chicago, is discussed in the May 25 issue of the Daily Maroon, the daily paper of the institution. It contains very interesting and worthwhile articles on the plans and observations, thus far, by President Hutchins and deans of the various divisions. The chief feature of the new plan is a division of the university course into two parts. The freshmen enter the part known as the college and are given survey courses in biological sciences, humanities, physical sciences and social sciences. These are followed in the second year by sequence courses, which are more specialized and help the student to decide upon the profession for which he wishes to prepar in the school, the last two years of his university career. The plan is best outlined by Dean William Spencer of the School of Commerce. "The students complete their general education in the college and, when they enter th school, they are ready for genuine professional work. They may proceed on the broad general principle that graduation from the school is based on attainments tested by comprehensive examinations and not on course requirements and course examinations. The attainments that each candidate for graduation shall possess are clearly set forth." Guiding Freshmen Important The guiding of the freshman in his selection of courses for the first two years seems to be a very important p'art gt; blithe plan. Dean C. S. Boucher'of the. college says: "Wide open elective systems came into vogue in the last decade. Educators have come to the conclusion that an unguided browsing into any number of courses, no matter how good, is not the best way to secure a general education." ? Among the deans of the schools there seems to be a genral agreement that the new plan has brought about a change in student attitude which is decidedly for the better. They are given opportunity to dp voluntary work and they do it. They are working to acquire knowledge instead of to secure credits. This has largely been brought about by the fact that they are tested on" J: PRESENTS PROGRAM OF NOTED VIOLINIST Miss Dudley Began Study When Five Years Old and Won First in Contest STUDIED UNDER GETCH .Jane Dudley, a leading violinist of the country, will present a program in assembly Friday, July 15. Miss Dudley began her study of the violin at the early age of 5 years. At the age of 13 she was winner of first place in a statewide contest and has since been studying and playing before audiences. She had her first violin training with Waldo Getch, and later she studied with Cecil Burleigh, the most eminent American composer for the violin; she then studied for five years in New York City with Leopold Auer, the world's greatest vioiin master. W^ien only sixteen, she, in competition with more than twenty violinists, won a free scholarship for study with Auer. He has predicted for her a brilliant career. The violin which Miss Dudley is now playing is one of the three of this particular model made by that great master, J. B. Guadagnini. One was acquired by the famous Joachim, one is unaccounted for, and the third—a matchless instrument of marvelous beauty and power bearing the date 1774, is now in Miss Dudley's possession. _ o —- NORMAL HOOP STARS DROP 60-20 TUSSLE NORMAUTES WILL SAIL ON VICTORIA EXCURSION Superintendents and Educators Approve of the Married Teacher •Many students got the wanderlust over the Fourth and eased over into B. :• to take a httle—ride on the giant dipper! The town looked so Much like the halls of Alma Mater •that we felt like a long lost prodigal retunung; to the fold. (Continued on Page Three) Stepping from their two-by-four intramural gym to the wide open spaces of the University of Washington basketball court proved much too great a task for the local summer session hot-shots and as a result exhaustedly toted home the small end of a 60-20 score in their traditional encounter with the University All-Stars yesterday afternoon. Ex-Normalites Take Revenge Two former Normal artists Occy Thorsen and Earl Jewell, had a grand time at the walk-away, scoring the majority of the winners' markers. ; Sid Comfort played outstanding ball for the Normalites, seeming to be the only local player with physical endurance enough to stick in the marathon. The center of the floor seemed to be the farthest extremity that the weary and totally lost Normal players were able to reach. Bellingham will play host to their rather stingy point-giving friends "next Wednesday at 4 o'clock in the Whatcom gym. Do you think women teachers should be allowed to marry and con tihue teaching, considering the best interests of the teacher, the pupil, and society? Since this is a social problem affecting home life as well as an edu-. cational problem, the parents of school children should be active in serious discussions. What Parents Think A survey conducted among Parent- Teacher Associations and other civic groups of Washington, D. C, is. described in Research Bulletin, Vol. X No. 1, of "the National Education Association. The vote from seventy organizations was as follows: Favoring married women as public school teachers and as normal school students, 57; opposed to the above policy, 7; non-committal ("let the board decide," etc.), 6. Most of those who were favorable to married women teaching gave as their reason that efficiency and ability and not the marital status of a teacher should be the guide. Opinions of Superintendents Superintendents of schools should be very well qualified to judge the. desirability of having married women teaching sehool. In answer to the question, "Are married women with equal training and experience as efficient as unmarried?" 954 superintendents gave their opinions as follows:,. Married women equally efficient, 597 or 63 per cent; married women less efficient 174 or 18 per cent; married women more efficient, 42 or 4 per cent; conditional, 141 or 15 l per cent; total 954 or 100 per cent. I This survey was conducted by the American Educational D i g e s t in 1926. Opinions of Educators A study by W. C. McGinnis showed that of 146 professors of education, only 12 per cent considered the exclusion of married women teachers a sound educational policy, 86 per cent believe that it is not a sound policy, and 2 per cent did not commit themselves. Excerpts from letters written by well known educators are published in the Research Bulletin. Most of their opinions are favorable to married women teachers. Here are a few typical quotations: "It is not the question as to whether the teacher is married or unmarried, but more a question of her general attitude and her real worth to the school system." "I am convinced that other things being equal, the married woman teacher is the better teacher. The argument that the married teacher has more outside interests does not agree with the facts. The young, unmarried teacher's principal interest is marriage expectancy, and it is a constant, active and time-consuming interest, as it should be." "As superintendent of schools I know that the married woman teacher is a source.of friction. As a rule they are not among my best teachers. The present rule against them has increased the efficiency of this system." Relative Efficiency E. E.

'Gerda Jensen, Glenn Rockey vosmm WITH ELLlNiHAM SUCCESSFUL TUE)ENT LOANS THE CONDITION of the Student Loan Fund of Bellingham Normal is a real honor to the school and a splendid tribute to the committee in charge of the fund. IN THIS school we have one of the best loan fund organizations of any school in the country. We have a large amount of capital but more than that the turnover has been rapid and losses few, with the result that the minimum of money has served the maximum number of ' students. THE FACT that there are approximately 100 students who secure loans from the fund each year, who would not be able to continue in school were it not for this help, is proof of the splendid service the loan fund performs. THE LATEST reports indicate that sixty-six persons who hold notes from the fund are in school this quarter. This means that sixty-six persons have been helped, or are being helped and possibly the continuation of their education has been made possible with the aid of the fund. These persons are in a position to appreciate the service it renders and will no doubt make every effort to return the money to the fund that others may profit from its use. OTHER PERSONS, students and public spirited outsiders, could offer no donation for furthering edu-ation that would be of more practical value than making contributions to this Student Loan Fund. Public spirited citizens of Bellingham who pride themselves on their philanthropic activities for cultural purposes may appreciate having this excellent and efficient student loan organization called to their attention. A C A M P - O N to put Bellingham Normal: on the map and sell the school to the city of Bellingham, has been inaugurated by the Northwest Viking and will continue throughout the summer. THE LAST ISSUE of the Viking contained a display, page of advertising tying up with the city-wide campaign to stimulate business. We are co-operating with the merchants of Bellingham and at the same time endeavoring to make the city realize what.the Normal means to the city and make them college conscious." ,. FEW PERSONS realize that Bellingham is a college town; that Bellingham has in her midst a million-dollar state institution; that Bellingham is three-quarters of a million dollars ahead each year for having the Normal school located here. Bellingham doesn't know this and of course doesn't appreciate us. Still it isn't the fault of Bellingham. We have been negligent. So how, "Though words cannot express adequately, or sufficient praise be expressed in human terms, we take great pleasure in introducing our-selves* THAT WE HAVE been slow in singing our own praises is no sign we should continue to be so. The Viking is going to do its part and asks students and members of the faculty to aid in the crusade. IA letter has been sent out to the merchants of the city by the business manager of the Viking in which the Normal school is shown as a real asset to the city, and one of the largest * 'industries" in the county. ONCE BELLINGHAM is fully aware of the proximity of the Normal school, she will undoubtedly become appreciative and willing to support our activities. Our first job then is to sell ourselves to the city. Then we must prove ourselves worthy of support arid patronage. As we've said innumerable times before, and has been repeated by multitudes, we reiterate, "Patronize Our Advertisers" and "Tell them you read their ads in the Viking." MARRIED TEAC!HERS__ : ARE APPROVED •£ (Continued from Page One) - i * " "Fine assembly programs" appears the consensus of opinion following the appearance of the last two musical assemblies. Lest we be lacking in giving praise where praise is due, we extend the thanks of the students for these two excellent programs. Detroit, by Moehlman, of the relative teaching efficiency of married and unmarried women. Conclusions drawn were that married women teachers as a group rated a bit higher than the general average of all women teachers; that teaching by married women did not. decrease the number of children in the families below the general average; and that the ratings of women teachers in service both before and after marriage were generally somewhat higher after marriage. Present Practice Present practice in city school systems in regard to the employment of married women as new teachers and the retention of single women teachers who marry is shown in the Research Bulletin. Of all the city school systems examined, about 77 per cent do not employ married women asi new: teachers, and only 37 per cent permit single women teachers to continue teaching after marriage, and many of these permit it only in case of teachers'who have been elected for permanent service. In many cities, Womh teachers are required to resign at once if they marry, while in many other cities, their resignation is required at the end of the school year. In a very few cities, the rules make it optional with the school board in each case as to whether the teacher may continue or is required to resign. What the future holds in store for the married woman teacheij depends upon worthwhile discussions now, and a thorough ,understahding of the problem in the minds of the public.

Student Opinion Children Present Play From China The offices of dean of women and dean of men at the University of Washington were abolished yesterday by the Board of Regents, who also demanded a complete reorganization of curricula to be effective "in no event later than the beginning of the autumn quarter of 1933." President Lyle Spencer said that this action was taken in the interests of economy. The sum of $7,500 was fixed to defray expenses of the office of a student counsellor as a substitute for the deans of men and women. The resolution for curricula, change affects thirteen schools and colleges, and stated that "college and departments be regrouped and reorganized promptly."

Soon this person becomes actual. Finally in the third act we are taken into Alison's room—left as it was for eighteen years—just as she went out of it. Her chair by the fife, her bed, her work desk with faded foolscap and dusty ink well, ail speak of her quiet presence. Into this room her family steal at the close of the century, there to talk about what she meant—what she embodied of her age and to comment on what her influence may be on the years beyond the dawn of the morrow. A literary play about a literary personage, 'Alison's House' has the feel of fine living and writing, tfce reverence for creative art, the atmosphere of true culture." Fine Choice The reasons~for selecting "Alison's House" for the summer quarter production are, according to Mr. Hoppe: With Houghton,, Fisher, Lahtonen, Berenstain, Thai, the Johnson twins and Virginia Bever—all formal Normal r a c k e t wielders—sharing a prominent, part in the burden of attack, the Bellingham Tennis Club last Sunday defeated the Point Gray Club of Vancouver, Canada, 8 matches to 7. All the matches produced keen' competition with the number one men's singles fracas proving the bright spot in the day's play, when Willy Houghton lost a tough three-set engagement to Sonny Grieg, a ranking player in the Canadian city. Will Meet Seattle Sunday This' Sunday the local outfit will tangle wiih the Seward Club of Seattle on the Normal school courts. The association is now undertaking a membership campaign with the ultimate purpose of erecting three courts and a club house on a site situated at the corner of Forest and Cedar streets, directly below the Schermerhorn apartments. Paul Grimes, prominent member of the Board of Trustees, is rapidly forwarding plans for a dance to be given at' the Chuckanut Shell the night of July 16. He also announced that the final matches in the city tournament that were forcibly postponed because of rain, will be completed tomorrow. their general attainments rather than the subject matter of each separate course. President Robert M. Hutchins of the university has this to say about the results of the plan so far: Administration Side Successful "On the side of administration it has been^very successful. The deans have, in effect, become vice presidents in their schools. Freshman courses are, as a group, the best in the United States. They reflect honor on the men and women who devoted themselves, to their preparation. The second-year courses are intelligently conceived. The advisory service can be improved but is better than it, has been. The cooperation between. the examining and teaching staffs has been beautiful and so effective that, I venture to say, the tests given in the general courses' at the end of the last quarter were the most carefully prepared examinations ever given in this university and perhaps in any other." •" '-.—o—— Announces \ '•S:':..X:/.^ii- A picot top, full^fehionedi Service bt Chife fon Hose at 69c thte pair.

First, it was deemed significant enough to be awarded the Pulitzer prize for 1930-31, as the play best representing the educational value of the stage. If this be so, then an educational institution is interested in such a play. Second, the play is a thoughtful, creative study in temperaments, especially the temperament of greatness. It makes significant the backgrounds of American literary culture; it smacks of Emerson, Tho-^ reau, Longfellow. It should prove helpful and enriching to' all teachers of American literature to get this artistic and illuminating recreation. o — The Y. W. C. A.

The hoop championship might still be called a. toss-uPi,but right now it looks like Chandler's Cheating Chis-elers are at least going to finish in the money. All the teams are doing fairly well, but the outfit that is surprising us is Stoddard's Snooty Stinkers. In a couple of games, Jimmy's boys just looked at the ball and it fell out of the other guys' hands and into their own basket. And speaking of baseball. . . . We ought to have a pretty fast loop next term. If we play hard ball, well have at. least a few nice chuckers in Red Van Over, "Nels" Brewer and "Boit. Lundboig," and if "mush" ball cops the limelight, Johnny Ga ble, Myron Chandler and Scotty will be three of the boys who will probably be ont there curling them around your ears. And then there are a host of likely looking hitters and fielders. And, oh yes . . . when speaking of pitchers, there's one boy we forgot'to mention and t h a t ' s Mr. Bond. Some of yon guys may think he's a little old to be chuckin' but I've seen that bird throw a baseball with a corkscrew wabble on it that'd drive you wall-eyed tryinJ to follow it.

There will be a variety of events all the way from fencing and lacrosse (there will also be crocheting contests . . . for the ladies only) up through wrestling, boxing, crew, equestrian sports, cycling, hockey, yachting, swimming and track. Wait a minute there, check up! . . . we forgot to mention that they are having weight-lifting contests to give some of us heftier boys a chance. Sparked by the sensational basket shooting of Jimmie Stoddard and playing their best brand of ball of the season, the Stinker clan ran their string of victories to three straight in a 38-33 win over Skot-heim's middle-division Skunks. The Stinker victory was a rather rude jolt to the dopesters, as the Skunks, were expected to hit their stride in this battle. It was a crucial battle for both, with the Stoddard mob battling for championship heights and Skotheim's team fighting for first division honors. Skunks Lead at Half Backed by fine shooting from Comfort, Matheney and Skotheim, the losers held the upper hand at half time with the score 24-22. Don Matheney, Skunk forward, hit his stride in this period and rolled in five field goals to help the Skunk cause. - Stoddard Scores High Stoddard, Stinker manager, equaled this mark with ten points in the first half and ran his string to nineteen for high scoring honors for the game. This is a new record for the summer quarter's basketball. Matheney was the sparkplug of the losers with twelve points, followed closely by Comfort, with eleven, and Skotheim, with six. Davey Jones tallied seven for the winners and Van Over clicked for six. The lineups: Stinkers Skunks Van Over, 6 F Matheney, 12 Stoddard, 19 F Comfort, li ] s h o t e Jones, 7 C Cox, 41 Thompson, 3 G Skotheim, .61 Zylstra, 3 G Peterson o With the Fourth of July vacation taking its toll, there was practically ;ho changing of positions in either the golf/handball or horseshoe ladder.- tournaments. =• Coach Carver still heads the procession in the golf lineup with Nostrant. Blix, McBeath, Rhodes and Kirk following in the order named. With a number of challenges hanging fire, the ladder will in all probability take on a different aspect-within the next few days; - Gunn Signs Up Coach Gunn, craving a little action, threw a little TNT into the handball tournament when he added his name to the list of Pellet Pushers. Gunn is a mean handball slasher and together with Rowland, another slicker, will give the boys plenty of excitement. Leatha is holding down the top slot with Skotheim, Osborne and Rowland next- in order. Osborne and Gunn have challenged Leatha and Rowland, respectively, for a couple of duels. .

The score stood, 26 to 24, with the Chiselers in front after the hectic overtime battle. It looked like the Moochers' night at half time, with the McClurken-ites leading by a 17-to-9 score. Fisher and McClurken each gathered in three field baskets each while the best the Chiselers could do was a solo act by Rhodes, Boulton, Sybrant and Adkinson, together with a converted foul shot by Chandler.

We were plentee surprised to hear the other day that this McHowsa-witz (or something) boy from Milwaukee who r an all over the keyboard is just about, totally blind. This lad wrote his own arrangement for "The Arkansas Traveler" and is continually composing or improvising tough arrangements. Howsey can distinguish colors and close objects but he has to have somebody with him wherever he goes. There is a poem that goes: "We will think at twilight of the campfire low Where the smouldering flashes gently dart and glow, We will sing of comrades, of valley, peak and glen. And the moon at Harmegan will shine again." And those. lines express our exact feelings when we sometimes reflect on an experience that we've had during the past "back in the hills." We've been with many a mountain party and we say to each one of you (and we mean it), that you are passing up a real opportunity if you fail to take in a t least one of those mountain trips that is on the hiking program. o A "please sign below" notice appeared on the bulletin board this week to urge those interested in reorganizing the Sagebrush Club for the summer to sign immediately. Chicken dinner, swimming and dancing were enjoyed by Vanadis Bragi members and their friends at Loganita Lodge on Lummi Island last Wednesday, July 6.

The Mongrels and Stinkers put on a thriller for the fans in the nightcap Thursday with McCleery's crew finally coming out on top of the heap with a 17-to-16 victory over the Stoddardites. With Hugh McCleery and Denton hitting the net at a wicked clip for the Mongrels and Stoddard using his good left arm to good advantage for the Stinkers the end.of the first half ended with the Mongrels the possessor of a ll-to-9 lead. The game was a close checking affair with Denton, McCleery and Gable, for the Mongrels, playing a good checking game, besides swishing the net for 13 points among them. Stoddard Clicks Stoddard was the whole show for the Stinkers with 8 points, with "Red" Van Over running him a close second with 6 points to his credit. Deadeye Davey Jones was in for a bad night, not hitting the basket as. consistently as he usually does, but played a whale of a game in the back court for the Stinkers. The second half was a close checking melee with the Stinkers out-pointing the Mongrels by one point, but this was not enough to defeat as the Mongrel forward, Williams, dumped one off tjie back board for two points with about one minute to go. The game ended with the Mongrels in possession of the ball and content to play with it in their own court. Lineups: Mongrels Williams, 4.. F: Leatha...:... .OF1.. Gables 4.:' C Van Over, 6 H.

And here I have (always heard that there was honor even among crooks. -W.S.N.S. - The wisest words that - Charles Chaplin could speak were reported from, frim by a newshound in Prance, last week. Said Chaplin: .."Patriotism is the greatest insanity the world has ever suffered. I've been all over Europe in the past few months. Patriotism is rampant everywhere and what is going to be the result? Another war." Patriotism is certainly a curse, whether in an autocracy or in a democracy. If when the United States had talked war, enough sensible persons had stopped to exercise their native common sense we would have avoided the calamity of the World War. And still certain societies urge "compulsory military training" and "national preparedness" all in the cause of "patriotism" or "wholesale murder." W.S.N.S. Solicitious individual asked a young man the other day if he held any student office, and she got the reply, "No, but I run with the best of people.'' W.S.N.S.- The death of David Belasco, last week, remind me of a list of predictions I had clipped from a paper near the first of the year. They Were made by a minister in the spiritualist church and Belasco was among such prominent persons as John D. Rockefeller, Marie Dressier, Von Hindenberg, and Premier Mussolini, all of whom were to die during the year. Some of the minor predictions such as communistic disturbances in China, and an abundance of rain, have qso been fulfilled. The forecaster says a United States senator will lose his mental balance, but adds, "There will be little publicity connected with it." Perhaps it wont even be noticed. ——W.S.N.S.

Mrs.. Sarojini Naidu, Indian political leader and perhaps the most gifted literary woman in the Orient, is of a very religious nature and does not confine herself to any one belief, but has faith in them all. When praying she addresses Brahma, Buddah, God of the Parsees, Allah, Mary, and Christ, believing, perhaps that if one is good, six should be better. "Berkeley Square", a play that departs froni the obvious realities of life, was presented by the Normal Drama club last, night. A second performance will be given tonight at 8:15, in the auditorium. The play, from the pen of John Balderston, is a fantasy which takes the audience through two generations of time. It centers around the idea held by Peter Standish, played by John James, that he is projected backward in time. Quaint Costumes Used Action takes place in the home of the Pettigrew family in Berkeley Square, London. The setting worked out in dignified black and gold conveys the impression of richness in its simplicity. With colorful costumes of flowered taffeta, rich satins, and musty velvets, the atmosphere of the powdered-wig period of Colonial times is quaintly released. The lighting and sound effects are excellently well-managed, especially in the storm scenes. Unusual Acting Portrayed In his own person, Peter Stan-dish, the hero, goes back to the Berkeley Square house in 1784. In the role of his frandfather he comes to London as a young man to court Kate Pettigrew, played by Mrs. Dorothy Allen. Peter's unusual ability to read the future makes every one fear him with the exception of Helen, Kate's younger sister, with whom he falls in love. Marion Bodiker very charmingly takes this part. On his return to modern life Peter takes Helen's love back with him as an eternal memory— the Helen who did not marry the Peter Standish in whose shape his descendant is masquerading. In the role of Mr. Thostle, an. artist, Marshall Bacon is especially well-cast and plays his. part in a very admirable manner. Well Cast Tom Pettigrew, the harsh gt; and dissipated brother of Kate, is played by Conrad Bentzen. Others Miss Hazel Breakey, Miss Marie Druse, and Miss Hazel Plympton of the Normal Art department were the judges last Monday, afternoon at the American Legion auxiliary poppy poster contest held in the American Legion hall. ;, All Eligible Pupils in any high school in the State of Washington were eligible to compete in the contest, and the two best posters from each represented school were entered. The two prizes offered, ten dollars as first prize and five dollars as second prize, were won by Bellingham high school students. The object of the poster making was to create interest in the poppy sale, which is to be held Friday of this week. o NEW TEACHERS ARE CHOSEN FOR SUMMER LABORATORY ORGANIZED FOR OCEANOGRAPHICAL STUDY. LITTLE SYMPHONY TO PRESENT FINAL CONCERT TUESDAY UNIQUE PROGRAM TO FEATURE MODERN SELECTIONS, WITH LARGER SIZED ORCHESTRA. SMITH TO DIRECT PLACEMENTS BECOME FEWER AS STUDENTS GET TEACHING JOBS (Continued on Pag* Two) KIZER WILL ADDRESS Summer school instructors have been chosen for the summer quarter at Bellingham Normal. ' The summer quarter will begin Saturday/June 13, and end' Friday, August 21. Registration of students will occur on Saturday, June 13. Classes begin Monday, June 15, 8 a. m. First term ends Friday, July 17, 4 prni"." Second term begins Monday, Jury{ 20, .8 a. m. The summer session is considered the fourth quarter of the school year. Courses offered are practically identical with those given during the other quarters. However, special courses are given to meet the needs of advanced students. Many of the courses continue throughput the quarter, but some are offered for the first half of the quarter and others for the second half to? accommodate students who wish to enroll for shorter terms. New Instructors The terms of admission are the same for summer quarter as for any other quarter. Graduates of approved high schools are admitted to Freshman standing. All candidates for graduation must furnish evidence of graduation from accredited high schools. Mature students without these qualifications may be admitted but cannot become candidates for a diploma. Special appointments have been made for the following instructors: Myrtle M. Carnes, second grade, training school, B. S., A. M, Teachers' College, Columbia University; taught at State Teachers' College, San Jose, California, and Chico, Bellingham's Little Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Harold B. Smith, will offer its last concert this season at the American Theater, May 26. The program will begin at 8:20 p. m. It will be one of the most unique ever presented, according to Mr. Smith. It contains several modern selections which call for such typical instruments as the harp, xylophone, and "celesta". The "celesta" is a )3Jano-like instrument but gives bell-like tones when played. Mother Goose Suiteg One of the most outstanding selections will be the "Mother Goose" suite by Barel. It is. in five movements, each portray some phase of the Mother Goose stories. The last movement is particularly effective, as the instruments imitate the roar of a lion. The light and airy movements are especially interesting as they feature the zylophone and "celesta". Artists From Seattle A number of artists from the Seattle Symphony will appear with the orchestra. It probably will be the largest orchestra that has ever made its appearance here. Student body tickets will admit. SPOKANE ATTORNEY FOR GRADUATION CHOSEN SPEECH. I do be reading: through one of last week's Sou'east Norsemen and do come across a scribbling on Campus Daye.

There are cases of that type occurring every day in which conditions have affected men so that they are unable to earn a livelihood in the method that they have prepared themselves for, and yet in this instance we notice particularly owing to its uniqueness. When we see musicians on the stage of our assembly hall we think of them as technicians, at least well paid, and with little worry as to their sustenance. When we see old men, cripples, blind men, and so forth, playing on the streets we never associate them with the caliber of musicians that appears before us here. Yet in this unusual case we have that happening. We admire this aged man. It takes much conquering of pride to drop from the role of playing before large audiences in huge auditoriums, where seats often sell at a premium, to entertaining the pedestrian that may drop a coin in the cup if he feels charitable. Yet, as this man says, "he must live." It seems a shame that our country cannot take care of the person who brings it art and music, for we would be handicapped without these, and yet the workingman does not warrant his set-backs and poverty anymore than the musician. We are attempting, today, to control such situations, but the task seems huge, and in the meantime we admire the man who sets out to make the best of his misfortune. We, here in Normal school, may find ourselves in similar predicaments during the course of a lifetime. -o We do not doubt that many are expecting us, now that the end of the quarter hoves in sight, to urge everyone to get in and study • hard and make it a banner quarter for good grades Just try it with all the sunshine and activities Staging all of its action behind a huge silver spider-web with a background of velvety blackness, the Drama club will present its Vodvil in assembly, June 5. With grotesque acts bordering on the more whimsical side of life, thrills and suspense will be featured in the one-act play entitled "The Haunted House". Murder, phantoms, vampires, and the awe inspiring Dracula are involved in a dramatic and fear creating search into the mystic realms. The ghosts of the departed ancestors of Helen Wahl, Aileen Hurlbert, Theresa Hill, Elsie O'Donnell, and Ethel Little come forth to shame and shock the foolish and pleasure-made modern students — Marion Bodiker, Esther Sundquist, Eilene Morrison, Art Pearson, and Conrad Bentzen. Wayne Priem, with original musical scores, and Cornell Weise, as a phantom lady, are special features. Theresa Hill, Virginia Howell, and Mary McDonald are directing the Vodvil. The lighting effects will be taken care of by Stanley Smith, and the production staff consists of Elizabeth Kaurtheur, Kathleen Hill, and Bob Roberts. o -!§Jip^:::|l^ Featuring the ';• Viking motif "\ in silver, black and blue, the 1931 Klipsun will be issued oh June 4.

A clever effect is given the book by the use of the new Vogue typeface. - —~—° STEWART SINGS "OLD MAN RIVER" TUESDAY I willpleaseum SEND HER ONE FOR THE WOMEN'S LEAGUET INFORMAL (Continued from Page One) Blood and Brains Makes a Gorey Story Plans are being laid for another Board of Control "celebration" and simultaneously complaints flock into the channels headed for the paper office. Once before we argued with would-be assailants of the idea of the Board voting themselves a picnic or banquet, and finally put forth our ideas on it in these columns. We pointed out that other sections of the student government make-up receive their awards, trips, and socials, and that we felt that the Board was justified in giving this to themselves. The question could be argued for days, and neither side get anywhere, and, after all, we wonder how much jealousy enters into the com-plainers* viewpoints. o • We have been asked so many times why the quarterly dances given by the men's and women's groups are called "informals" that we are beginning to get curious ourselves. . o — : We are in favor of taking up a collection of money and placing it where it would be safe for the next hundred years, and leave instructions for it to be given to the first Board of Control that doesn't raise the question of "outsiders" at Rec hours and other school dances. Or maybe we should employ a Pied Piper to make them walk toward ihe bay. Although we were in favor of the Men's club Vodvil and feel that this c]ub was entitled to a means of raising money for furnishings; we wonder if some of the clubs now on the decline would not have been held together by working for the Viking Vodvil cup. They need something to combat the series of heavy activities staged during the spring quarter. : : -O • The wife of a widely known radio announcer is attempting to get a divorce.

Dancers foudn themselves in a veritable^ butch garden, with tulips growing in most unexpected places, a windmill in one corner of the ropm» with its arms revolving under the colorful play of light from a huge flood lamp, and an unusual picture of Dutch boys and girls making a most appropriate setting for the fireplace. Neat Decorations The decorations designed by Marion greaves were in a fair way to make success of the dance, but aided by the music furnished by Sam Rathman's orchestra the informal was one of the biggest events of the social season. To refresh the thirsty, participants of the dance, punch was served by two petite misses dressed in the costumes of the Dutch people. Dalthrop in Charge Ruth Dalthrop, general chairman for the dance, did much to make it a success while Effie Deighton, chairman of the program committee, showed much ingenuity when she designed Clever programs in the shape of brightly colored tulips. Patrons and patronesses for the dance were: President and Mrs. C. H. Fisher, Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Marquis, Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Ruckmick, Miss Gertrude Longley and Miss Florence Johnson.

Although adverse weather conditions prevented record breaking on a large scale, the marks turned in by the entrants were very good. Whatcom high school took the meet with 28 points, Blaine followed with 13%, and Anacortes with 11%. Whatcom county amassed a total of 64 points. The only mark bettered in the entire fracas was in the javelin throw. Rhooscheib of Snohomish, heaved the spear 180 feet V inches to smash the mark of 173 feet set in 1927, by Chuck Erickson, former Marysville and Bellingham Normal star. The Snhomish star's effort also exceeded the present state record by nearly 7 feet. All eyes, ears and questions will be directed in the general direction of Ellensburg this Week-end with the Tri-Normal track and field meet and tennis and golf tournments taking place. Coach Career is taking over a very small balanced squad and has a very good chance to bring back the three championships. Very little in the way of competition in the track meet is expected from Ellensburg, except in the1 high hurdles and weights. But it is a horse of a different color as far as Cheney is concerned and it looks like a very dark horse. Our own little prediction is that not more than five points will be between the Vikings and the Savages when the meet is over. Hits galore featured a 10-5 victory which the University of Washington pounded out over the Vikings last Friday. The Frosh started the game out with a bang, chasing across eight runs in the first three innings. Blanton looked fairly good on the mound for the Vikings the six innings he pitched. It looks as though the Frosh have just got a wee bit more class and punch than our own Vikings. The Ellensburg track team have taken two decisive defeats on the chin, or wherever track teams take their defeats, in the past two weeks. The C. P. S. tracksters dropped the Wildcats 93-40, and the U. of W. Frosh trounced the Eastern team 99-29. Going back to Tri-Normal, we're willing to make a wager that Ellensburg will not run up more than 1.8 points in the meet. HOLD DISTRICT MEET WHATCOM HIGH LEADS FIELD; BLAINE IN SECOND PLACE.' Lyle A. Haskell, Cougar end, whose educated toe place kicked the Hollingbery team to victory over Washington last year, will coach football, basketball and baseball at Sedro-WooIIey high school next term. We're hoping you'll like it west o* the hump, Lyle. Strange as it seems, but believe it or not, Robert E. Ripley, of very-unusual- facts fame is one of the outstanding handball players of the country. Something we never expected to hear of—a dual track meet ending in a tie. This well-night impossible feat happened last week in a meet between the Washington State Frosh and Idaho Frosh. The meet ended" in a deadlock with each team having 65Vi points.* With but two more games to play in the intramural baseball league, the hard playing Kitchen JKrew Is leading the field in an attempt to cop the season champion ship. It seems as though the Krew can dish up good ball as well as good grub. Marking the end of the road trips for the spring quarter, Coach Sam Carver and his track, golf, and tennis teams left Bellingham yesterday for Ellensburg. . The golf and tennis teams will leave Thursday morning, while the track squad will not go until Friday, morning. Coach Carver thinks that the Viking-squads have a good chance to come home with the long end of the scores, but expects some stiff competition in track. While Ellensburg hasn't a. team that would give Viking fans a great deal of cause to worry, the Cheney Wildcats have about as strong an aggregation as they have had for some time. Tyllia, Wildcat dash man, tied the Tri-Normal record for the 100-yard dash last year, but this year was nosed out in a meet with Washington ^ State College by his teammate, Bannon. These two men will give Gable and Thomas, Viking sprinters, plenty of trouble. Bright in Mile In the field events, Fred Roundy Wildcat discus man, made a throw of 126 feet, 5 inches which is 4 niches over the Tri-Uormal record. He also put the shot 43 feet, 6 inches, which also tops the Tri-Normal record by 3 feet. One event in which the Vikings are almost sure to win points is the mile. Norman Bright will be on duty for the Vikings and if he can continue the form and speed that he has shown all season, first place in the mile will be a certainty. Noel Flowers and Davy Jones should annex a few points in the pole vault, while the local relay team of Carboneau, Eagan, Stewert, and Woitulewicb, asks no favors. Strong in Tennis Hedger and Bernstain will represent the Normal on the tennis courts. Both of these men play a good game and with a few of the breaks sholud be able to walk off with the honors. Coach Carver will miss Jimmy Rork this year. Rork won Tri-Normal championship last year. Golf Team Untried Prospects for a victory in golf are rather questionable, not that the Viking squad is not as good as the other teams, but this is the first year that the Vikings have entered a golf team and the strength of the other teams is not known. Thorsen, Gross, and Irby make up the golf team. Men making the trip are: Track—Bright, Duyff, Carboneau, Woitulewicz, Davis, Eagen, Thomas, Gable, Jones, Dixon, Shelton, Sutton, Gravrock, and Osborne. Tennis—Bernstain, Hedger. Golf—Irby, Thorsen, and Gross. o INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS A regular meeting of the Inter- FROSH WIN Whatcom high school won first place in the district track meet on Waldo field last Saturday after^ noon, gathering 28 points. Blaine had 13% for second, and Anacortes 11% for third. Whatcom took five firsts, all in dash events and one second and one third on the track. Blaine cleaned up in the field. Poor Conditions Weather conditions were poor, preventing record-breaking on a large scale. The weather did not appear to bother Rhorscheib, Snohomish star. He heaved the spear 180 feet 1% inches to smash the mark of 173 feet, set in 1927 by Charles Erickson, former Marysville and Bellingham Normal star. , Barnhart was the leading scorer of the meet with 11% points. Beside winning the 220, he finished several feet ahead of the pack in the hundred, and ran anchor for the winning relay team. Johnson, Sedro-Woolley, was no far behind Barnhart. He won 10% points of his team's 11 markers. Counties Divided Whatcom county entries cleaned up the meet, winning more than half the points, 64% in all. Snohomish was second, Skagit third, and Island last. Whatcom's relay performance was 8-10th of a second slower than a record and beat the two opposing teams by wide margins. Marion Keys, Blaine vaulter, turned in his best performance of the season in winning this event at 11 feet, but failed to beat a record he tried for. VanOver, Mt. Baker, won first place in the shot and took second in the discus. Wasley, Whatcom, turned in one of the best broad jumps of his career to win that event with a leap of 20 feet 3% inches. Malcomb Mc- Beath, Fairhaven's single entry, was in second place. The meet was in charge of .W. A. Fisher, Lynden, as head starter, with a group of Northwest coaches for timers and judges. Medals were presented winners at a ceremony in the Normal gymnasium after the meet. •—°" BETTER TECHNIQUE IS AIM OF CO-ED ARCHERS VIKINGS, LOSE kiFEEQUENTED 10-5 IN GAME B Y ' S H O W E R S . . •-••-vUjr^", gt;«v^'d**8*T:% "B'"•• •-'.-".v •• • • -••• •*• •'-• -:f-^••"i M.'r•**-. •;••. ::.:', •• The University^of Washington Frosh pounded out another victory over the Bellingham Normal team last Friday, 10-5. .

La FoUette, Jr., Will Deliver Address •at Church _'• • • IS A PROGRESSIVE LEADER Is Son of a Former Presidential Candidate Senator Robert M. LaFolIette Jr., Wisconsin's famous and America's youngest senator, will speak next Monday evening, November 6, at 8:15 p. m., in the First Christian church, on Dupont street, on the subject, "What the Progressives Are Fighting For." While not only one of the youngest members of the Senate, Mr. LaFolIette, publicly referred to as "Young Bob," is also one of the most popular leaders. He is 35 years of age and a son of the late Bob LaFolIette, outstanding United States senator and presidential candidate on the progressive ticket in 1924. Of the progressive leaders there is none more prominent than this young man from Wisconsin. At the last national Republican convention, the greatest speech of the meeting was made by "Young Bob," causing such a stir that even the press stands applauded. Excerpts from the Washington Merry-Go-Round, Washington, D. C, publication, say, "Today he is one of not more than half a dozen men in the United States Senate who are first rank in public speakers:" An article by Clinton Gilbert, observer of affairs in Washington, written in a weekly publication, says of LaFolIette, "He always sees things exactly as they are, is moderate and extremely likeable, and has the lev-elest head in the Senate." Mr. LaFolIette, formerly scheduled to appear at the Normal school auditorium, will speak at the First Christian church instead, so that there will be ample room to accommodate the crowds that are anxious to see him. General admission will be 25 cents, with reserved seats selling at 50 cents. Bellingham State Normal students will be admitted on their student activity tickets.

Students Vote Against War Ninety/-nine per cent of the University students quizzed in a poll conducted by the University Daily, voted against the United States joining England and France in a war against Germany. One hundred and seventy-six out of one hundred and seventy-seven students believed that the' United States should not fight again for European nations. '-'• One of the most common reasons given for their attitude was that we should stay away from European conflicts as much as possible because of the great expense and loss of "Both Your Houses," by Maxwell Anderson, will be reviewed by Mr. V. H. Hoppe of the Speech department in the November 10 assembly. Maxwell Anderson has written the outstanding plays "What Price Glory", "First Flight", and "The Buccaneer". He is also author of a volume of poetry, "You Who Have Dreams". "Both Your Houses" won the Pulitzer prize for the leading play of the year. Walter Winchell says of it. "The most stinging indictment the United States lawmakers have ever had thrust down their throater-Maxwell Anderson's best play since "What Price Glory?" —o Photos Are New Freshman and Sophomore Group Pictures New Feature Group pictures of the freshman and sophomore classes is a new feature to be ordained this year in the 1934 Klipsun, according to Gordon Richardson, editor. In past years only pictures of underclass officers have been taken. New members appointed to the staff are as follows: Jane Kindall, associate editor; Beth Hankins and Louise Schulz, assistant school editors; Ralph Shenenberger and The-ona Flick, assistant sports editors; Nancy Jane Smith, assistant activity editor; Margaret Chester and Don Norlin, assistant art editors. Contracts have been let to Western Art Engraving Company, Seattle; Sandison's, Bellingham, photography, and Union Printing Company, Bellingham. Other features of the 1934 annual are a hard cloth cover and wood block prints to be used for end sheets and division pages. All football pictures have been taken and at present junior-senior class and faculty pictures are being taken. o Normal Boards And Presidents Meet Together Our Prexy Attends Seattle Meeting Where Change of Name Is Considered At a meeting in Seattle, Friday, attended by President C. H. Fisher, presidents and trustees fronveach of the three state Normals discussed questions of important bearing on the administration of the schools. The proposed changes in naming the Normal schools of the state were taken up and the various names considered. It was proposed that' the Bellingham Normal should be known as the Western Washington College of Education and the others as the Central Washington and the Eastern Washington Colleges of Education, respectively. Among the topics discussed was the question of abolishing the life diploma. It was decided that it should' be necessary for holders of life diplomas to attend school at least one quarter in every five years. A motion was made that the board go on record as being unfavorable to admitting sororities and fraternities to Normal colleges. The financial outlook was also discussed. o Artistic Students Change Classroom To Forest Aspect Class Members Go' Back Once More To Childhood Days Vikings to Battle St. Martins Team In Crucial Game Vikings Are Set to Get Victory at Olympia Field Tomorrow Afternoon The Vikings are out gunning for a score! That's the team's by-words, and that's the students* chant at the football team this week prepared for its next game,, which will be played tomorrow at 2 p. m. against the St. Martin's Rangers at Olympia. The team fell six inches short of touchdown last Saturday against C. P. S. They are going south to get at least one score and also to bring home the bacon in order that this school may celebrate its first victory, in many, many games. Team to Show Staff Even games like last Saturday's tangle do not count in the win column for the Bellingham team. Tomorrow they will be out to defeat the Rangers and show both the school here and the Lacey boys that they have the stuff in them. St. Martin's itself has not fared so well this season. Last Saturday they met the U. of W. Frosh and were defeated, 15 to 6. If comparative scores mean anything the Rangers' score looks a lot better than Bel-lingham's. 22-to-0 loss. Previous to this they lost to Monmouth Normal, West Seattle A. C. and C. P. S., 6 to'0. Their lone win was over Pacific Lutheran. Rangers Strong at Center The ends of the line will have to be run consistently by Bellingham backs if the center of the Rangers' line lives up to advance dope. The center and the two starting guards, Haggardy, Oldham and Hurney, respectively, all are big experienced men and ^should make the going plenty tough. The Rangers, have a very good passing attack for their own of- University Washington To Be Headquarters For Club Conference Students' Relation Conference Will • ^ Be.

Singer Presented Norwegian Singer Is to be Heard Tuesday's Assembly Faculty and students of the Normal school will have the opportunity of hearing Mrs. Nan Dybdahl Wiik, soprano, who will be featured in the Tuesday assembly, November Mrs. Wiik is a young Norwegian singer who made her debut in Milan in 1924. She was first heard in this country in 1925 as soloist with the University of Oslo chorus, and since then has appeared in many leading concerts. She came to the West to reside in 1928, resuming her concert work here, and wherever she has sung she has won a secure place in the hearts of her audience. The fact that Mrs. Wiik has been re-engaged six times at the Normal school shows the appreciation of her fine art. She will be accompanied Tuesday morning by Mrs. Anton Beudall, flutist. Student Assembly And Mixed Chorus Student Chorus of Forty Voices Sing in Assembly A special feature of the assembly today was the initial appearance of the mixed chorus. The chorus of forty voices was led by Mr. Donald Bushell, director of the music department. The chorus sang "Sweet and Low" and "The Viennese Lullaby," and also assisted the student body in the singing of three of the school songs, "Alma Mater," "White and Blue" and "We Will Sing ,a Song to You.". The yell leaders, Bill Allan, Melvin Munson and Vernon Leatha, con ducted a short pep rally.

That means you—arid you—and. me, too. You don't have to be a blue eagle to do your part. Give till it hurts, and give it to the Community Fund! The drive is from November 7.-20, Now for Some REAL Action .'.'7 At least two of the semi-dormant campus organizations come forth with a real excuse for their existence. The W club and the Men's club have organized a paddle squad. There has long been a need for just •-.such an all-yeaV group to take charge.of "chiselers" at Viking athletic contests.. Will You Vote Tuesday} One of the distinguishing characteristics of a well educated citizen is the intelligent exercise of his franchise. Next Tuesday the student body will go to the polls to determine the candidates for the general election. Primary elections have never brought forth an overwhelming response in this institution. It is to be hoped that at least enough students will take time to cast their ballots to justify the cost of such an affair. Certainly in a teacher training institution one would expect tofind a greater sense of civic responsibility than we have had in the past. : o Despite the Depression Despite the depression, the school buildings and grounds are being kept in good repair. Recently the plumbing in the nurse's office and other parts of the building has been repaired. Just this week a modern fountain for the main hall has been installed. Hereafter when students lead themselves to drink they will be able to get plenty of good drinking water. '—:—: o = Another Step Forward After many months, of hard work by the committees in charge, the point system for extra curricular activities is beginning to function. It is designed to limit the number of outside activities in which a student may participate. We have long needed a system to check the over-ambitious who often work to the point of permanently endangering-their health. Under this new plan faculty sponsors will rate the work done by students which should gradually eliminate those who accept positions for honor and let others do the real work. Perhaps the greatest permanent benefit is that hereafter the Appointment bureau will have something definite to give superintendents besides records of scholastic achievement. Investigations by prominent educators show that students interested in worthwhile" outside activities while in school tend to make better teachers. ' This scheme deserves your whole hearted support. It has all the earmarks of a splendid piece of planning. It is a decided step forward. There was once a young man who ^was; trying, to make a train. Every time he met a lady friend of his he would have to stop, set his suitcases down and tip his hat. After meeting several acquaintances he began to be a little bit annoyed. The result was.a bright idea which is now patented and in the files in Washington, D; C- The young man decided to attach a little spring to his hat. All that was then necessary was to nod: the head and the hat would bob up and down, making a very satisfactory substitute for hat tipping. No fooling, that gal carries her own shovel. If you- don't receive invitations to these so-called "elite" gatherings, it is not because you don't use a- certain brand of soap or widely advertised mouth wash. It's for a much more obvious reason, according to the dirt going about the campus. The column I turned out last week was about as wild as a glass of milk. Unless I make dirrrty cracks about people my weekly effort is a failure. That is what I get for starting out with a semi-Winchell column. Well, dear readers, I'm leaving the- dirt digging to Sammy Winchell Carver.

Not only did the Vikings make up for their previous bad showing but came very near carrying away the honors, when Sinko, the man with the snake hips, wormed his way through a hole made by Finley, Smick and Ullin, and- ran eighty yards only to be downed by Carlson on the two-yard line. On the next play, a spinner through the line, they gained a yard but were penalized five yards for off-sides on the following play. C. P. S. started clicking and held them for downs, then kicked to safety. Later, in the second quarter, Normal received a fifteen-yard penalty on their twenty-five-yard line. This put the ball on Normal's ten-yard line, forcing a kick. The kick was fumbled and a C. P. S. man got through and covered the ball, making a safety for C. P. S. In the last quarter, C. P. S., by its strong kicking, forced Normal back to its own ten-yard line. Bagley dropped back for a pass only to have it blocked by Slatter, C. P. S. right tackle, making another safety.

Jack Clark and Hugh Lovegren, respectively, in semi-final matches played last weekend. The tournament so far has come along as expected, as both of these men were favorites to enter the finals. . Miles shot a neat 79' ' over the Country club course last Saturday when he defeated Clark, while Lindsley scored a 77 against Lovegren over the Lakeway course. These scores indicate a close battle when these two men meet some time next week oyer the Lakeway course. — o Championship Match In Volley Ball Tussle Is Close and Exciting Game with I*. W.

At 4:50 o'clock George Al-bee's Co-op team played the Men's Legislation (Continued from Page Two) P.L. Game Nov. 11 if the money is .there. In order to make the Education bill of financial aid to the state schools new taxes will.have to be levied, since the bill does not allow the use of any money already coming to the state from established revenue legislation. In the face of these facts the Education bill seems a dismal failure since it does not provide the money so necessary to the support of schools at the present time. This is not true however since the bill provides a standard of state support which will someday be realized. Secondly, it gives legislative approval of equalized support on the part of the state government up to the extent of fifty per cent of current costs. The only revenue act of importance passed by the 1933 legislature is the so-called sales tax from which the bulk of the state support specified in the Education bill will be drawn. This tax will not however, even when added to the amount de-1 rived from other sources, provide the contest. This championship battle was the best exhibition of volleyball ever played at the hill top institution, according to Director Sam Carver. "'• •' •"'; Playing a thrilling uphill battle, the" Vikings overcame the independents' lead and won the first game by a close score of 16-14. ' This game was featured by extended play and the outstanding work of Stone, Mo-scrip, and Shenenberger of the' Viking's squad. The second game the Vikings played a good brand of ball, but the consistent playing and teamwork of the Independents brought them victory by a harrow margin, the score being 15-13.; gt;There were many close' decisions in this game and both teams did their share of moaning. In the third and deciding game the Independents developed a, smooth working combination, the main sparks being Zoet, Shaffer and Divird. The Independents were then able to build up a big lead over Bob Lindsley's newspapermen, but the brilliant and spectacular playing of Byron Moser made it possible for the Vikings to tie the score. The Independents finally won by four points, the score being 15-11. The players ,on the 1933 school volleyball championship team are playing Manager George Albee, Dick Stearns, Harlan Jones, Dwight. Divird,' Melvin Munson, Bob Zoet, and Louis Shaffer. o allowed by the Education bill. The greatest aid to schools for the present time must come from the act appropriating $20,000,000 current school fund for the period. 1933-35. This appropriation by the state makes the state responsible for $10,- 000,000 per year and the districts can be certain of this amount. The fight now must center on maintain-club, led by Dick Stearns. The Northwest Vikings are captained by Bob Lindsley, while the. Harlequins are managed by Bob Hartley. At a meeting held at 4 o'clock Wednesday in Coach Carver's office, managers of the various. teams passed on the rules made last year and drew up a schedule for the first half. Twenty-one games' are scheduled, covering a period of six weeks. Air games are to be played Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, with the exception of Monday, December 4, when two night games are listed. Next week's games are: Tuesday, November 7, Revelers vs. Frosh. and Harlequins vs. Daniels Hall. Thursday, November 9, the Co-op is slated to' meet the Northwest Vikings and the Men's club will play the Revelers. Seven teams have entered intramural competition this year, including the Northwest Vikings, Men's club, Revelers, Co-op, Harlequins, Frosh and Daniels hall. The managers are, respectively: Bob Lindsley, Dick Stearns, Louis Schaeffer, George Albee, Bob Hartley, Melvin Munson and Milton Flint. The beginning of the winter quarter will open the second half of the tournament. _o .Well, they're off! After five weeks of turnouts and strenuous practice, actual play has. begun in women's athletics, the season's first contest, which was in volleyball, having been staged Monday afternoon in the big gym. This contest, between teams designated as the Blues and Reds for distinguishing purposes, was ref-ereed by Miss Jewell, coach! The two teams were captained by Margaret Starlund and J o h n ny Bromley, respectively, both players of upper-class standing and inspira-| tion to their teams. Despite the fact that Bromley's team went down to defeat; it served only to add impetus to its final playing, which bodes well for' future victories. Although the game score of 2-0 might'appear to be an easy victory for the Blues, the point" scores of 21-10 arid 21-16 show the comparative strength'of both teams. and faculty members desiring to use the school tennis courts, outside of class periods, must arrange for time appointments. This arrangement has been made in order to reserve the courts for the college students and to eliminate unnecessary Waiting. How about it? We note by the University of Washington Daily that the women's volleyball intramurals also have begun this week at that institution. An added glory to the victory of these games is the possession of the Garhart trophy, the women's athletic award. Competition for this award is extended to all organized groups which. follow a sports program, A including volleyball,. swimming, basketball, baseball and tennis. At our sister institution, the Ellensburg Normal, the women's sophomore- junior hockey team finished its first game of the inter-class tournament with a victory oyer the freshman team by a 2-1 score, mention being made, however, of * the fine playing of both teams.

Hussey especially was more erratic than he was when he and Starlund staged what should have been the finals way back in the quarter-finals. This tournament gave the school a chance to see their prospective team members for next spring. Many last year's veterans have left openings for new squad members.

Thirty-eight new Thespians were taken into the club this fall. This is an exceptionally large group, but as much talent was shown, a fair selection of candidates could not be hoped for v unless a large number were to be admitted to the club. The regular Thespian ritual was followed in initiating the new members. Wet stocking feet and self-conscious speech makers were very much in evidence. Marian Cole and Billie Mills had charge of the initiation and banquet, respectively. The banquet was held in the Campus school cafeteria, the meal being served from the Edens hall kitchen. o Award For Juvenile Book Is Presented To Elizabeth Lewis A discussion on "Extra Curricu-lar Activities in the Elementary .Schools", was led by Miss.Mary E. Rich, director of the training school, at the Tuesday morning meeting of the Southwest Washington Regional institute and convention, held in Vancouver, Wash., on October 23 and 24. The meetings were held at the Shumway junior high school. The first meeting of the day was called to order promptly at 9:00 a. m. for a general assembly. All persons attending the convention were together until 10:30 a. m., when the sectional meetings were begun. These were continued until the noon recess. The afternoon sessions were organized in the same way—first the general meetings followed by the smaller groups discussing more specific topics. Miss Rich spoke to the sectional group concerned with the problem of extra-curricular activities. She opened the discussion with the value and theory behind the extra-activities in the school. Others were delegated to present examples of. these activities, such as club activities, cooperative student government, playground activities, and elementary school newspapers. It was pointed out that in beginning these projects, it is much better to begin in a small way, and build them up into a more complex structure. One point set before all the teachers was that they were to try to educate the child, not merely to answer certain questions; and that one needs to keep in mind that the point of this education is pupil development. Because of the short time Miss Rich spent in Vancouver, she was not able to spend as much time discussing problems and work with former Normal students as she would have liked. Many of the people who were active in the convention work were people who had been in school here. Miss Dorothy Christensen, Miss Marie Kepler, Mr. Prescott Kanarr, and Mrs. Hazel Vidani were among those present. Miss Rich was especially surprised to meet two men who were here last year. Charles Morgan who had five children in the training school was there as was Pop Gunn, whose son Jimmie was a pupil in the sixth grade. Mr. Earle D. Bennett, who was the chairman of the group Miss Rich met, is the superintendent of the Kessler Boulevard school in Long-view, and was once a student here. Miss Genevieve Metcalf secretary to Mr. Wilson the county superintendent in Vancouver, was also a Normal student. . After attending the institute, Miss Rich felt that Bellingham Normal teachers who are teaching in that district are doing splendid work, and are meeting their problems with ' careful thought. Five counties were included injthe section of the Washington Education association. They are: Wahkiakum, Klickitat, Skamania, Cowlitz, and Clark counties. Blue Room is Arrangements were made at the Social Science club last Monday to entertain Senator Robert LaFollette Jr. John Rule and Mabel Rolle, who were appointed to make arrangements for entertaining Senator LaFollette, reported that a luncheon will be given at Edens hall Monday noon, November 6. About eighty-five people have signed up for the luncheon. Boyd Swanson, accompanied by Susanne Cissna sang several songs. A discussion oh the present state of affairs' in Germany was led by Frank Jones. The president reports that the club, which has a* membership list of approximately thirty-five students, is very active this year. o— School Problems Are Subjects of Convention Talk Whatcom, Skagit, and San Juan Teachers Hold Two-day Meet in City Tea, Oct. 31 Faculty Entertained by Girls Who Act as Hostesses for Affair HALLOWE'EN PARTY TUESDAY Special Dinner Held Tuesday Night to Celebrate Novel With Chinese Setting Chosen By Judges The John Newbery award for 1932 has been presented to Elizabeth Foreman Lewis for her book, "Young Fu of the Upper Yangtze." - The John Newbery award is given each year for the most distinguished book for children written by an American author and published in the United States. This award does not consist of money. Instead, a bronze medal is presented to the winner. The first of these awards was given in 1921. Strange as it may seem, John Newbery was not an American, nor did he give the money for the medal. He was an English book publisher and seller of the middle eighteenth century. He was the first to recognize children's books as a separate literature and to publish and sell them as suchi He put out one of the first editions i of "Mother Goose." By RALPH HOFMAN Washington Education association members from Whatcom, Skagit and San Juan counties returned to their posts after a two-day convention at Bellingham. October 26 and 27 saw 800 instructors gathered for a discussion of school problems and for a general revival of faith in the advancement of education. The fact that the acquiring of this faith cost each member two days' salary was cheerfully accepted on the whole, as a result of hard times. Heading an excellent program and a distinguished group of speakers was Miss Bess Goodykoontz, assistant United States commissioner of education. Miss Goodykoontz in her address "Analyzing Progress" proved that in spite of economic pressure educators are doing a fine piece of work. While it would be impossible to say that the W. E. A. convention has brought any radical change to educational methods, it has, however, resulted in an improved spirit among the teachers. There is a new feeling of hope for the,future and a general lifting of gloom that always results from a comparison of troubles. —o "Kennel Kapers" League Informal Held October 28 Crystal Ball Room at Leopold Hotel Scene of Women's Club Fall Dance Sunday night was the first tea that the girls of Edens Hall have given this year, and the faculty were the honor guests. The Blue room of the dormitory was attractively decorated with autumn leaves and pumpkins and dimly, lighted with candles. Peggy McKay, general chairman of the tea, was assisted by Marie deGollier, refreshment chairman, and Alyce Weber, decoration chairman. Lois Wilson presided over the program in which Frank Forstrum played a group of violin solos, accompanied by Joe McFar-land. Helen Scott gave two readings, Boo BecKen sang a group of songs, and Christine Albers played a piano solo. About fifty guests attended the affair with the girls in the hall as hostesses. Tuesday night a special dinner was given," followed by singing of songs. Later in the evening all the girls were invited to a Hallowe'en tparty, which was held in the "attic". Jack-o'-lanterns, candles, and black silhouettes furnished a suitable background for the frolic. During the , evening refreshments were served and games were played.

Roger Chapman. One day, such as last Saturday, can do more harm to the peace movement of the world than days of conservation and constructive peace education. Flags waving, trumpets blaring, soldiers marching, and bands playing can so arouse the animal, war-loving emotions of man that the anti-militarism movement must begin almost anew after each such display. Memorial day is to honor the dead, but the dead do not need honoring. Death adds glory to an institution that needs no glorification. Robust life, as seen in marching soldiers, adds only vigor to the picture of war. It is a memorial to the glorious patriotism of war, to the virility of life and to the courageousness of death. If on Memorial day inmates of veteran's hospitals could be paraded in review, we would have a different picture of war. Men without, arms, men without legs, men with parts of bodies and faces, men coughing out their lungs, men in rages of insanity, men in living death, they are the real memorials to war. _- W.S.N.S. State officials of Nevada certainly have an eye for money. No better business move couTd have been made than the legalizing of gambling and simplifying of divorces. While other states are frantically advertising for tourist trade, Nevada is reaping her profits. She needs no advertisement. —!—W.S.N.S. Since all these movie actresses are confessing their ages for Lux, probably no one will be sensitive about his, or more likely, her, age. From now on all our interviews will begin perhaps with, "I don't mind .you knowing it. I am ''. _ WS.N.S. A California judge has recently ruled that a trespassing dog may be shot on sight be he mongrel or pedigreed. That treatment might be a little severe on trespassing children, but some means of protection is certainly necessary. —W.S.N.S.— There has been a fear among some of the faculty that people would think the name Viking was associated with Bellingham Normal, because of the number of Scandinavian students. We assure you that is not the reason. W. N.S. The Vikings toere a stutdy_ race Of Erics, Liefs, and such. And so, for them toe named our teams ' To add a vigorous touch. But now from "Minnesoty" come Their progeny by scores. To meet the spirit of their race They storm the Normals doors.

The contents of the Klipsun include: Administration, Classes, Activities, Organization, Training School, Athletics, and School Life. Worthy of special notice is the group of scenes in the first of the book. These pictures are of a new type and mounted in the modern manner. Although the theme of the Klipsun is typically Norse-Scandinavian, the color work, arrangement, and content is worked out in a modernistic style. Beginning with campus scenes displaying the administrative unit, the library, the main steps, Edens Hall columns, and a Puget Sound sunset the content blends into the interdispersed portraits of students and faculty exceptionally well with a message from President C. H. Fisher, and commentaries on the various a(iministrative staffs. The Student Activities, following The Classes, give a complete and fine representation of -both student officers, students involved, and respective achievements—particularly well: to"' publications, ^dramatic productions, and debate. Under the organization section the, major social, organization, and athletic clubs are given large group 'illustrations together with a few lines of explanation below each page. The Training school, coming next, is illustrated by ten pictures of laboratory work conducted in the training' school, with a brief summary of the entire program of training school activity. "Athletics" are - given even more prominence than in the 1930 Klipsun, by larger illustrations and a Dedication of the placque honor- . ing Normal students who lost their iives in the World War took place at the l l o'clock assembly hour last Friday..; Singing of the school song, "White and Blue", by the student body opened the program. This was followed by a stirring address given by President C. H. Fisher. Following this address, James Butler read the poem, "In Flanders' Field". America was then sung by the entire body. Miss Mary McDonald read the poem "Spires of Oxford". This poem closed the program 4 P.M.

Hikes wil predominate, with intramural sports running strong. It has always been the policy of the school to offer an athletic and.outdoor program that will allow everyone an opening for participation. This summer is no exception. Whether the school goes in strongly or inter-school sport work or not, it is vital that they have an all-round program at home. An Illinois court rules that the husband who took the family bathtub with him when the family was separated must return it by Saturday night. That's our idea of a "dirty" trick. Tree for "Trees" Author A living memorial to Joyce Kilmer, author of the immortal poem, "Trees," was planted in the form of an elm in a plot of ground in Central Park, New York, the other day as Father John B. Kelly, spiritual adviser of the Catholic Writers' Guild, blessed the ground in which the tree found root. The above picture shows the ceremony attending the tree planting. Adviser and Business Manager of The Mr. Carrell Leaving for Northwestern Viking Are Caught After Long Chase tempore contest and the oratorical contest in the state of Nebraska one year. He also won the Province of the Platte oratorical contest in a competition between all colleges in the states of Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, and South Dakota. During three years of his college career he worked for the Lincoln, Nebraska Star, a newspaper of that city. For two years he covered sports and during his senior year did general reporting. Mr. Carrell will work for his Doctor's degree next. year. "If I could have my choice of things I'd like to be a girl—" o begins Jack Greaves in his poem entitled "Sophomores" in the 1931 Klipsun. Have you read it? Do you like it? Well, Jack is no amateur poet. During the Fall quarter of this year, before he became business manager of The Northwest Viking, he had a regular column of verse under the r heading of "Greayings." Jack is one of the few fourth year students in school, and has worked on The Viking for eight quarters. Last year he was editor of the Spring track book. He has served two quarters as b u s i n g The Viking and has just been elected for the Sum-in^ vqlip^r; He plans continuing • in educational work and remarked: "I am going to spend the first half of my life in school." When questioned as to a probable occupation, he said he would be a "professor of something or other." Mr. James Carrell is leaving the Bellingham Normal this quarter to accept a position in the fall at Northwestern University, near Chicago. He has been a member of the faculty for a year and a half and has been' one of the most sought after instructor for organizations adviser of any of the faculty. This last year he acted as adviser of the Northwest Viking, of the Klipsun, the Freshman ciass, and managed debate. Mr. Carrell graduated from Wes-leyan University in Nebraska, and has done two years graduate work at Northwestern, where he received his master's degree. Next year he will teach Speech Pathology, in the Speech clinic of the University. His other duties are to manage the National Oretor-ical, and Verse -Speaking contest and to organize a national debate tournament open to all colleges in the United States. During the four years'he attended Wesleyan university, he was a member of the debate team, and during his last two years his team won'all of the fifty scheduled[debates. Mr. Carrell won both the ex- Mr. J. J. Handsaker, the associate secretary of the National Council for the Prevention of War, gave an interesting talk in Tuesday's assembly. Hate War .Mr. Handsaker said "Europeans hate and fear war and are trying everything they know to prevent it." He said 6500 boys were killed every day during the war. Ten million were slain during the whole period of struggle. Is cost the world 337 billion dollars or $300 every minute from the birth of Jesus until the present time, he declared. Mr. Handsaker also said that if there should be another war it would mean the ruin of civilization. . o Recent Publication i Reviewed by Fowler "Ways to Teach English," by Thomas C. Blaidsell, one of the most recent textbooks on the teaching of English, was reviewed in the current number of the English Journal by Herbert C. Fowler, formerly chairman of the Bellingham Normal English department, who now is studying at New York university. Mr. Fowler, who was granted a leave of absence for this year, will continue his work in New York next year also, it was announced recently. He is completing his requirements for a doctor's degree, in addition to his teaching duties in the school of education at New York ^university. The book, "Ways to Teach English," is praised by Mr. Fowler in his review. "It will cheer the teacher who has been in 'the system' for many years, but who now feels the stirring need for reinforcement. "All this is to say that Dr. Blaid-sell's book provides the most complete coverage (to borrow a business term) of the subject that has yet appeared. It is obviously the product of long years of experience, and is a sincere exposition of what the author believes to be the soundest principles and practices in the teaching of English," the review continues. "Although freedom and fluency of self-expression are included among the objectives, the author's emphasis throughout the book is upon formal correctness. Drills are of primary importance. "In many ways the most satisfying section of the book is the last, Teaching Appreciation. Although Dr. Blaidsell believes that there should be a course in the history of literature, he does give it less emphasis than formerly obtained in high school English courses. His concern is for the understanding and enjoyment of literature itself. "Perhaps the outstanding defects of Ways to Teach English (though not all teachers might consider them defects), are the authoritative tone of the book, as evidenced by the multitude of 'musts' and 'don'ts' and the tendency toward formalism. Granting these shortcomings, the volume still remains a notable contribution. In the hands of an inspiring, creative teacher with a sense of values, it will provide countless excellent suggestions for the improvement of English teaching." Alumnus Expresses Pleasure At News President C. H. Fisher received a letter about two months ago from M. L. Howell, a former graduate who was graduated in 1927. He started his letter by telling what a great surprise he had when he was given two copies of the Northwest Viking last X-mas day by a former graduate of this school. Mr. Howell also states that he was very much surprised and as well pleased to read that President Fisher traveled by airplane when he was on his Eastern business trip. Mr. Howell is very much interested in aviation therefore joined the navy in order to. get a complete course. Mr. Howell was scheduled to leave San Diego training station two or three weeks after Christmas. He was chosen one of the three of 109 candidates who was to go to the Navy aviation school in the East. Three Bellingham Normal -graduates will be at this school this summer, according to Mr. HowelL As a compliment to the Northwest Viking, he states that of the niany coUege papers he has seen it ranks high in th^ list: v,'.-,' ^ ^ , gt;/§ v DISTRIBUTION OF YEAR JBOOrCBEINQ FINISHED (Continued from Page One) more compact recording of events.

CO^OP BREAKS T i l HALF BALL PENNANT KREW CHAMPS OF FIRST HALF WILL BE NEXT FOES IN TITULAR BALL SERIES. TONG WINS BftlCHf FAILS TO ATTAIN RECORD TOP EXCELENT TIME MADE, BUT RECORD NOT SHATTERED. Even though Norm Bright did not break his field record in an exhibition run last week, we still think, on the basis of his season's marks, that he is still one of the outstanding milers in this country. His mark of 4:25 is much faster than a great many of the larger college athletes liave been able to attain this season. Talk as you may about the big league ball clubs producing snappy, fast ball, we still maintain that the intramural game last Monday between Reynolds Hall and the Kitchen Krew would make any leaguer envious. The Tong finally emerged victorious, 7-6, after a two-run rally in the last of the seventh. Splitting four games with Idaho and Washington State, the U. of ~W. baseballers won their sixth Northwest championship in the last eight years. The Huskies had a tough battle to win the coveted flag, but finally pulled through with twelve wins and four setbacks. Nerve J We say that Boone of Washington State has plenty of it. In the Northwest Conference track meet last Saturday, Boone twice reached up into the ozone only to feel his bamboo break under him, but each time he came up smiling and on his third attempt cleared, thirteen feet. Although they had not played a game for several weeks, the Co-op intramural baseballers came through with a surprise 18-4 win over Reynolds Hall to cop the second half championship. They will now meet the Krew in a three game series for the season flag. Bill Frisby, U. of W. Frosh sprinter, took an exhibition century dash from Percy Williams, 1928 sprint champ, in a very decided upset last Saturday. With only twp or three weeks of training behind him since his very severe knee injury, Williams found himself unable to get going in the old stride that has carried him to victories over the world's greatest. The first charge down the field of an energy-filled, peppy squad of football players had nothing on the . rush for the new Klipsuns yesterday. Wednesday morning the Varsity and Frosh crews from the University at Seattle left for the anwifal regatta on the Hudson. Coach UI-brickson is very confident that his crews are much faster than last year, and although not promising victories in each race, he prophecies that they will not finish last Interest in the Summer quarter's athletics in the form of intramural contests has already been stimulated. Two or three basketball squads are in the making and with baseball and a continuation of the ladder tournaments the next three months should be very active for all men caring to participate. Earl Fralick, a former high school track star of this city, has signified his intention of entering the annual ten-mile marathon held July 4 at Seattle. Fralick stands an excellent chance of, placing high in the contest and has entered strenuous training for it. Last week he took forty laps around the Normal track and made the ten miles in sixty-eight minutes. There is one dentist for every, 1,700 persons in the United States.

Shades of thrilling extra inning baseball games, last season's basketball league, and decided upsets! Nothing more could be asked as far as tight playing and thrilling games as have been played in this season's intramural baseball league. The terminating of this season's race ended exactly as did the intramural basketball season of the past Winter quarter. As you will remember, in the basketball league, the Philos copped the first half flag and tied with the Thespians and Men's Club for the second half pennant. In the play-off the Thespians trounced the Philos and then in turn lost to the Men's Club. The Philos won the play-off with the Club. Now let us view the baseball race. The Kitchen Krew packed away the first half flag and tied with Reynolds Hall and the Co-ops in the second half. In the play-off this week the Hall Tong dropped the Kitchen Krew, 7-6, in one of the finest games of the season. The Tong pushed over two runs in the first inning and held their lead until the first of the sixth, when the Krew poled out several hits and pushed two men across to put them in the lead, 6-5. In a last inning drive the Reynolds squad connected for several hits and, coupled with two bad errors by the Krew, came across with the necessary two runs and the game. Then Tuesday evening the confident Tong crossed bats with a scrapping gang from the Co-op and came off second best with a stunning 18-4 defeat plastered against them. The winners poled hits to all corners of the lot and with several boners pulled by the seemingly over-confident Reynolds team, came away with the victory and the right to season's championship. The first game of this series will be played Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock on Waldo field. o Seeming to have reached his peak, Norman Bright was unable to crack his field record of 4:25 in a feature race lia§t Friday. His tune for the exhibition was 4:26.4, which was very good considering the condition of the track and the Unfavorable warm weather conditions.^ He was paced for the first half mile by Eddie Duyff, and Mel Eagan set the going for the final 880. ..^ Bright started the race at a fast pace, going the first 220 yards in the neighborhood of 26 seconds. His time for the first quarter mile was 61 seconds. At the half mile marker Duyff was relieved by Eagan, who set the pace for the remainder aoi IOI MWmW^U 301 IOI HUGH MIRACLE , . r Guest Conductor FORMAL DECLARATION: Last week my worthy contemporary cally ed me the "chiseler elite," and since reading, the column I think the general consensus of opinion is that I should give up columning entirely and go in for chiseling.

At the start of the last lap it was very obvious that the Viking, star was a very tired young man. But calling on his last ounce of reserve he finished the last 200 yards with a terrific drive for the tape. It is notto be said that the run was a failure because any runner who can step the mile in less than four and a half minutes can certainly be crowned a success. Bright has made a very fine mark for himself this season and has run some remarkable races. He has received recognition from several of the larger newspaper sports writers on the Coast. A certain writer from Seattle saw Bright make his present field record a week or so ago and stated that in another season Bright would be running under 4:20.

It used to be extremely bad taste to have holes in your clothes, but this year the more you have, the smarter. Fact is, it's the only thing to do. You've probably noticed that in the formal gowns, it's the eyelets with lace and net that carry off the honors right and left. Then we wait out on a tour to count the many places where eyelets may he seen and used. Wv found every shop carrying blouses of this entrancing material—or blouses with trimmings of it. Handkerchiefs had borders or comers of eyelets; gloves had cuffs of eyelets; shoes had black eyelets over white, or brown over white, or some other clever combination. And, most amazing of all, even purses had eyelets for trimming. If it's Nautical it's Nifty! PPPPP

June 10 gt; 1931 AU REVOIR LINCOLN'S DEPRAVITY MORALITY PLAY STARVATION WAGES Roger Chapman. Ho-hum. Ye Normalite quffl gt;s getting dull. 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 . . . Trying to sign three annuals at a time and signing your own in the confusion . . Looking for lost books .,. . Trying to turn in books not wanted . ... In conference with Sam Ford over a Co-op bill. . . Getting two-bits for that locker key . . . Exchanging addresses with friends. • °—~ " Library Staff Feted At Wilson Breakfast The graduating class of Belling-ham State Normal will hold its thirty- second annual commencement exercises tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock in the auditorium. 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.

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.

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.

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. But to only relive— "The many happy hours spent at Art's and Walt's. ;• --;:!;-.

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. At the assembly which is to be held June 30, the Men's Glee Club of Miss Elizabeth Hopper of the Ap- the Milwaukee State Teachers' Col-pointment Bureau advises that six lege will give an entire concert.

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.

Address all communications, other than news items, to the Business Manager of the Northwest Viking, Bellingham, Washington BOB WALTERS.. 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.

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!

The exhibit also includes the various publications of the Rice Publishing Company of this city, of which Mr. Rice is the author. "I am here with the display for JbW»' days," said Mr. Rice, "and will speak to the graduating class near the end of the summer term. Meanwhile I expect to travel to all the universities and practically all Normal schools in Washington, Idaho, Montana, and Oregon. There I shall ^do demonstration and lecture work." 1 Mr. Rice stated further that he is doing no regular class teaching at the present time because of the fact that his field work takes almost his entire time.

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.

When he was only four years old, Laddie was presented before a Pacific Musical society audience at the Fairmont hotel in San Francisco. He played Bach, Hadyn, Beethoven and Mozart. At six he made his Eastern debut and was hailed by critics and public alike'for the individuality and charm of his interpretations. The New York Musical Courier wrote "Laddie plays Mozart with the poetic soul of genius". Monday, Laddie will play Mozart and be dressed as the genius was dressed at his age. ' Musical America, of New York,' devoted an editorial to the lad's accomplishments, laying stress upon his. individuality. Yet."at the age of ten, he is still a child, singularly unspoiled by plaudits." His distinguished mother only allows. Laddie to travel a few weeks ;eaeji.year, for his development.

For the past three years Laddie has been a piano pupil of Lev Shorr, who is a graduate of Petrograd conservatory- and the teacher of Laura' Dubman.

She will take her listeners on an imaginary tour to a bookshop to select suitable Christr mas books for boys* and girls. Among the many books to be discussed by Miss Doty is the "Modern Machine Age", a book for boys that should captivate their attention and interest. For the little tots,. "Today's A B C Book" is colorful and different from the usual book of that type. "Swift River" by Cornelia Meigs, was written for children, but grown-ups will enjoy the subtle - undercurrents that run through the lines. "Waterless Mountain" is the John Newbery award for 1933. The "Christ Child" is a colorful attempt to give the actuality of the holy land. .Final Broadcast Next Friday night, Dec. 16, will mark the final presentation of Normal broadcasts .for the year. A Christmas play, "Thirty Pieces of Silver", will be offered by Louise Lawrence, Sterling McPhail, and Paul Jackson. The winter quarter will see the resumption of the regular twice-a-week broadcasts, and all students are urged to come forward and offer their talent. Dr. Herbert E. Fowler head of the English department here, addressed the Kiwanis club at its luncheon in the Bellingham hotel last Tuesday, Dec. 6. He was introduced by Dr. Irving E.

Being a short, short story of four chapters. Time: Tomorrow. I picked a purple lilac arid pinned it to your breast, and jokingly I told you it was my heart I laid at rest. And then—and then—I kissed you! And in the raptured hush I saw my moon-touched lilac, between us had been crushed. Crushed and bent, yet so content —splashed above your heart; and then I knew my jest was true—that lilac was my heart. Time: Day after Tomorrow. Dead? Dead? It cannot be. Why, yesterday she was life, itself, laughing and singing and clicking her heels at worry and care. So soft were her arms and body warm—yet I saw her rigid and cold; dancing eyes that mocked me^-closed forever, to tease me no more; lips, once rd, and full of caresses, r saw them—flat and pale. And her hair—ah, that was her glory! They had it brushed back smooth from her brow, but -I put the wave again on her forehead like a careless, happy strand, hiding the little scar she has carried so long. Somehow she wasn't SO'dead that'way, nor seemed so far away from me. Time: The Same Night. . , Just leave me alone in the firelight with my dreams and briar pipe—living again the gladness,, thrilling again at the madness, feeling again the sadness now part of oblivion's night. . .' r Time: Later the Same Night. The deadening gloom of this lonely room stifles my very breath, and a cruel, heartless moon is mocking my doom, and watches for my death. .A creeping cold is taking hold—I only want to rest—the sand has run, my hour's done, Life's sun is in the West. . o ..•-•'• — • « •• Oh the " AMFUS Side of the E Y H Q L E Collins Museum Givenflo ScM||| By 1M R^den^^^^^^ N EXT QUARTER WILL ET CHANGES T H E BEGINNING OF N E X T quarter will find a large turnover in the student working forces in the Normal school. The grade system adopted by the faculty last summer will be the direct cause. Students who have but one or two quarters left to obtain their diplomas will find themselves without the jobs they have been holding for the past three and four quarters, which represented their largest financial reason for staying in school. IT W O U L D A P P E A R that the standard of 2 .4 set by the faculty is too high as only 2.0 is required at our state college and university. And the rule which will go into effect next quarter should concern only students entering at that time, not those who have been working on the' beats. IT IS R U M O R E D that students may enter their cases for exception before a faculty committee. If this is true it would be greatly appreciated if the sudents were so informed. ' Agitation is growing 'among the students, and something definite will have to be announced immediately. The quarter is drawing to a close and students must know what to decide for the future. THE EDUCATION O F T H E 2.4 student is just as valuable to him as the 3.5 student. Probably one of the reasons his, grades are at 2.3 or 2.4 is because he has to work and fight his way for an education. But in all fairness, he must b given a chance. CASE FOR TROPHIES OULDBEUSED MAY W E SUGGEST that some political aspirant stress' the need of a trophy case for Normal prizes in his campaign speeches next quarter. Money placed in a project of this sort would indeed be well spent. Coach Carver states that the school possesses many athletic trophies that have been put. a way in the vault and in the attic because there is no place where they may be displayed before the students. SEVERAL OF T H E cups were stolen from the attic when they were moved there a considerable time ago. We should be proud of our school's winnings, and place them on display for the students—not in some corner to be stolen. W H E N OUR TEAMS visit other schools on their athletic trips they return home with stories of seeing trophies on display in a prominent place. There is no reason at all why the board of control can't authorize the order of a cabinet, and the collection of the cups and pennants. Beeg triangle in the DAHL-." QTJIST HOGAN affair.

Will Be Broadcast Tonight The climax of this dramatic Christmas play will be unfolded to the students both in the Friday morning assembly and over the air in the evening from 9:30 to 10:00. o'clock. Since this play marks the close of both air presentation and assembly programs for the quarter, listeners and auditors may look for a finished piece of work. Special attention has been given to the preparation of the play to be presented in assembly next Friday, Dec. 16. The literary interpretation class, under tne guidance of Victor H. Hoppe has been consistently turning out work of superior quality. One-act plays and other forms of the dramatist's art have been offered to the students, both in the as- ; sembly and over the air. This final play, under the title "Thirty Pieces of Silver", has a moral, and the hearts of many should be touched by the manner in which that moral is developed and "put over". The Play Louise Lawrence, who did such ah outstanding piece of work as Aunt Agatha in "Alison's House", carries the part of Prudence . Prudence is a hard woman; even on Christinas eve she finds the power in her heart to turn from her door a broken, bleeding wanderer.

By FLORENCE It's snowing, and the wintry wind dost blow—How'd.. you., like., some warm and woolly ideas? This should bring joy to your heart—a turtle neck scarf. It is like a wristlet gone ineckwise. In reality just a straight tubular piece of alternate rows of knitting and purling which flares into a little collar cape—just as if you started to knit a turtle neck sweater and got tired before you came to the sleeves. The undeniable fifteenth century flavor is not the least of its charms. Another clever idea (not mine, I assure you). Take a long narrow piece of knitted, fabric fringed on the end; this is folded in half and stitched up one side from the fringed ends almost to the fold, where an opening?is left an inch and a half long. You wind it about the neck, slip the fringed end through the slit and, Voila! You.have the smartest and newest thing in Schiaparelli scarfs. Skipping into the evening mode-woolen gowns are not absolutely a novelty—|I've been wearing outing flannel for a week)..But, to get back to the subject. I'm serious about thin wool evening"gowns. They are ultra-ultra-ultra-simple in line. Dark colors predominate, tete-de-negre, bottle green, and. wine shades, though some white. Their chic is in lack of adornment, which is rather remarkable during the present era of abundant chromium plate, from earrings to automobiles. Quite irrelevant to wooly clothes, but I can't resist mentioning them, are the new evening hats. Just a halo of twisted velvet, set saucily on top of a mere wisp of crispy mesh veil. Quite a booh on the evenings your waves are cutting up^ Christmas is coming and it's the clever child who knows the power of suggestion. Speaking of Christmas-—have you seen the latest compact, or should I say flapjack? It not only has loose powder and a swansdown puff, but you can view everything but your tonsils in its beveled mirror. It will give you a great kick. So will the price tag.

He also spoke of some of his experiences while studying and teaching at New York university. New York life, according to him, is not comparable to that on the coast.

With the score 27-26, Sorenson missed a foul shot that would have knotted the score. Sorenson and Harris, fiery forwards, and Nolte, guard, were outstanding for the Hilltoppers. Nolte led. in the scoring for the Normal with 10 markers, while Sorenson followed with 6. Albee,'aggressive guard for the Y. M. C.

Four out of the nine teams in the league are very much in the running, and with the start of the: winter quarter the first of the year it looks as though the weak sisters will have plenty of opportunity to sign up enough good;ma-put their teams in the running during the second half of the So be on your toes, managers. m u-M^y^'y- # Hi And, on the other hand, if enough good material doesn't show up by the start of the second half, it wouldn't be a bad ijdea to consolidate a number of the weaker teams, and make the league a six-team affair during the last half. Possibly the only disadvantage as the league now stands is that the games take up too much time, especially with three games scheduled for one night; and the first encounter starting at 7:15. By cutting the teams down to six entries this would eliminate the night struggles. Pete Baffare, a Renton product, was announced as the winner of the Rotary Medal, presented to the most outstanding football player during the season just past at the Ellensburg Normal school. Over at Whitman college, Les Voris, a former Viking football star, was voted the Niles trophy for being the greatest inspiration to his team mates during the past season. It wouldn't be a bad idea for the local sport followers to get together and acquire some sort of an honorary award to be presented to Bellingham's most outstanding athlete of the year. We had in this institution one of the best milers to run in college competition in! the person of Norman Bright and we have with us now one of the best football stars in these parts, but not even as much as a tin cup to remember these men.by. In a couple of years entering freshmen and upperclassmen will know nothing of the men who made history in this school of ours. And when someone mentions Bright or Sulkosky, they will probably ask, when were they president of the institution? Anyway something should be done about the matter. TEAMS MOLD LEAD With the iritra-mural ;gan»es,jwell under way only three teams of the nine in the league- are undefeated; they are the Relics. Raiders, and Manor. There are some strong teams hi the conference this year and no team has a cinch for the championship as each team has 18 games to play.. High Scores The Night Raiders lead the scoring with an average of 40 points a game, but the Revelers are close with 38 points. Flowers leads the individual scoring with 39 points, Stoddard is second with 35. Some teams have played three games while others have played onyl two. This is the present standing: . Team— Won Lost Av. Relics 3 0 1000 Night Raiders .3 0 1000 Viking Manor 2 0 1000 Co-op 2 1 667 Revelers 1 1 500 Doormats..... 1 3 250 Bachelors club 0 2 000 Mullins Angels 0 2 000 Harlequins 0 3 000 CO-OPS CLEAN UP DOORMATS / .While on the subject, it Wouldn't be a bad idea for some of the political candidates who have aspirations in the coming election to stress the need of a trophy case for the Ideal school... There are cups and trophies enough in school to fill th main hall. But as long as they are locked up in the vault and; in the attic, ilts a cinch they won't be en. Now back to Hfe. It looks like Ernie Nevers at Stanford. When Pop Warner threw up the reins at Stanford Monday, to take up the duties of head coach at Temple University of Philadelphia, he threw the job right in Nevers' lap. Nevers knows plenty of football and has proven bis worth to Stanford in the role of assistant coach under Warner. It was Pop's last wish that Nevers be appointed to fill his shoes. . • For the purposes of voting on a proposed amendment to the constitution, members of the W. A. A. will meet this noon hour at 12:35 in room 119. The proposed amendment reads as follows: In order to receive an award for a class team a woman must be a member of the W. A.

WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Friday, December 16, 1932 -* Normalite # * # * • TEACHERS EASY EDUCATION HARD EDUCATION By Pat Allan. "As long as artists, thinkers, di- , rectors live in isolation, absorbed in special ties and indifferent to the main stream, they fall short of the university that gives full stature to genius." So says Walter Pater. I wonder if that may not be applied to education. Of course teachers are not generally conceded to be blessed with the best wishes of the gods along the lines of genius, but is a teacher, even a good one who is "absorbed in specialties," living in a world of his own creation? Can we, as teachers, expect to teach others to take the goodness from the badness in life without being acquainted with that goodness —and that badness—ourselves? Perhaps teachers forget in their absorption in the small cross-section of life in their classrooms that life is four dimensional, and has many little protuberances here and there which must be explored to fully understand it. W.S.N.S. W E A AS FAVORING SALES TAX AT C H I N Educational Association Passes a (Resolution in Favor of a Law Granting Normal Degree. HOPPER REPORTS CONFERENCE Another striking criticism of the American educational system is that it is too easy. "Almost anyone can g©.to._colIege a -certain -number of years and get a degree," say the critics. ....The degree, consequently, means nothing. Outstanding ability gets no better a grade of sheepskin than mediocrity. We see an impressive degree registered behind a teacher's name. Does it mean that he has been capable enough to see things in a newer, truer way, that he is able to offer us something enabling us to get a new slant on things, to bring to us new experiences, to lift us somewhere beyond where we now are, or does it mean that he has succeeded in "getting by" at some college, coached by his fraternity brothers? We have no way of finding out but to sign up for a course from him... And in so doing,.we take a chance of wasting three months' work in merely trying to "get by" ourselves while we might have been spending that time in getting new ideas, new visions and new inspirations from men who are capable of giving them to us. W.S.N.S. In defense of the present system, some ask, "But should the great pari of the people, the common people, be sacrificed to the advancement of the few? Should a man start college full of hopes and ambitions only to find after a year's work that he is incapable of going further? W.S.N.S. It seems that either mediocrity, the average, must be sacrificed to genius, or genius must be sacrificed to mediocrity. Should the fittest survive in the Great Quest or should they be allowed to go ahead so far as they desire with no material advancement to themselves, so that college degrees may be conferred upon men and women who should be working in factories and on farms? -W.S.N.S.- The question as to whether all these years of movement toward universal education in America have been Worth while, is being brought before our attention gradually, but steadily. As indispensable members of this system, we will some day, perhaps, be called upon to decide it. Perhaps it would be jjpdl to start thinkingaboittiVhow^ The Washington Education association has gone on record in favor of a general state sales tax at the meeting held in Tacoma, November 25 and 26. This information was conveyed to the Faculty Forum on Tuesday afternoon, December 6, by Miss Elizabeth M. Hopper, delegate from the local unit of the W. E. A. Degree Bill Favored Resolutions favoring legislation giving state Normal schools the right to grant a degree of Bachelor of Arts in Education and to abolish the life diploma after September, 1933, were passed. President C. H. Fisher said Miss Hopper's report was "one of the finest and most comprehensive I have ever listened to." Hargreaves Elected R. T. Hargreaves, president of the Cheney Normal, has been elected to fill President Fisher's place on. the board of directors of the association representing higher institutions of learning. President Fisher has served two 2-year terms which is the constitutional limit for a member. One hundred and thirty members elected by local units all over the state form the W. E. A. The Faculty "Forum is the Normal school unit. Viking Policies Explained Following the forum the regular faculty meeting was held. Hollis J. Stoddard, editor, Roger Chapman, business manager, and Melvin Allan, editor-elect of the Northwest Viking, explained editorial and financial policies of the Viking. They asked for faculty co-operation. According to President Fisher the Viking leaders "were well received and made a very favorable impression." STUDENTSUFFERS LOSS OF DIAMOND A diamond ring belonging to Catherine Moss, Normal student, mysteriously disappeared on Saturday from the washroom of the Normal school. Miss Moss removed it while washing her hands and it was taken while her attention was distracted for a few minutes. The ring is valued at $100 and was a graduation gift from her sister. The authorities are endeavoring to solve the mystery but to date there have been no developments. o Laddie Boy Gray Plays As Mozart Uniqueness and finish characterizing their program, Laddie/ Gray, young boy pianist, and Estelle Gray- Lhevinne, violinist, played in assembly, Monday, Dec. 12. After Mrs. Gray-Lhevinne had played one group of classical numbers she stated, "Laddie will give his first group of numbers costumed as the boy Mozart. We are not introducing any prodigy, merely showing you a picture of Mozart on his first appearance in court." The costumed Laddie then played one of that composer's minuets. He played with a confident touch which produced a very good tone. Laddie Plays Bach His next numbers which he played "as himself'' were compositions by Bach, Hadyn and Beethoven. These were all cordially received. Then after several more,classics, proceeded by a story about each, the mother played four pieces of her own composition, reciting the original words before playing them. STODDARD RESIGNS; ALLAN IS CHOSEN PUBLICATION EDITOR Attention, Student Workers! Faculty Grade Ruling Discussed In Article Clubs to Sponsor Weekly Program Affording an interesting outlet for club activities, adding importance to clubs, and furnishing information for the community as a whole will be the advantages of the new radio broadcast schedule in which the various school organza-tions will present a series of programs. This will go into effect after January 1. The International Relations club will sponsor the first of these -and thereafter each Friday evening the broadcast will be handled by one of the school clubs. Kenneth Bernet, acting as chairman, and Joseph Atkinson, assisting, are making arrangements for the International Relations program, which will probably consist of music, a talk on the purpose of the club, and a discussion of some current international subject. gt; o EDGAR AT U. OF W. Some discussion has arisen over the faculty ruling that makes it necessary for job-holding students to attain a grade average of 2.4. To clarify the problem the Viking prints the following: Twelve Hours Work Required Employees must be registered for 12 hours and must have a grade average for all preceding work of 2.4. (Old students are given the advantage of using either this quarter's grades or their past averages). New students, to be eligible job holders, must have a B- aptitude and be registered for twelve hours. Fourth year students must have an even three-point score. Limit Set on Earnings The maximum amount a student is allowed to earn during three quarters' employment in school service is $200, unless he is holding a specialized position. All dissatisfied students who feel their cases deserve additional consideration may appeal to the Faculty Scholarship committee. Helen Edgar, who attended the Bellingham Normal last year is now enrolled as a student at the University of Washington. While here she was house president of Eden's Hall and was an outstanding student. ORCHESTRA COURSE GIVEN FOR CREDIT A course in orchestra practise will be available to all students during the winter quarter. It will meet two periods a week from 7 to 8:30 o'clock on Monday and Wednesday evenings. Credit for the course will be. on the usual ratio of three hours work for one hour, credit. John Roy Williams, well-known instructor of music, who is leading the orchestra of. Fairhaven and Whatcom high schools, has been chosen as the instructor. President C. H. Fisher says, "If the orchestra makes good it will take part on the Normal school program broadcast over station KVOS." This course is an experiment. It has never been offered to the students on a regular plan before. If made a success there is no doubt but what it will be listed in the regularly in the catalogue. RADIO OFFERS FULL VACATION PROGRAM Victor H. Hoppe announces that the radio broadcast will continue during the holidays. The following schedule for the period between quarters is.offered: Wednesday, Dec. 21, Miss Nora B. Cummins, "Looking at a Troubled World"; Friday, Dec. 23, Mr. Hoppe, Christmas Carol", by Dickens; Wednesday, Dec. 28, Mr. H. C.

Mr.' James is a graduate of Bellingham Normal and has been with a California stock company for a year. Elizabeth Squire, soloist, will sing on the last program. I. R. C. Will Broadcast The International Relations club will present the first club broadcast immediately after Christmas. This will mark the beginning of a series of such efforts by various clubs of the school. o Miss May Mead, the school nurse, has been in Seattle during the past week attending the state registration of nurses. Marian Beckley, Ben Lundberg and Art Pearson have been in the school hospital during the. past week on account of flu.

MR. ALLAN HAS efficiently, handled his department of the paper and is well qualified to handle his new duties. WITH AN EXPERIENCED and capable staff working with him, he should and will prepare for the students and administration a newspaper worthy oi their support. , As one of its New Year's resolutions, the Viking will "go on record" as positively against false press reports. The Viking office has been unfortunate enough to believe that some of these false reports were bona fide press notices only to find later they were merely personal satisfiers of a high-powered ego. Our faculty committee, as well as the Viking, no doubt has been misled at timesbypaddedpressreports. E DENS HALL CAROLS NJOYED BY MANY AN EXPRESSION OF congratulations and thanks is extended the girls of Edens Hall for their fine display of Christmas spirit during the past week. They are probably the only group on the campus who have spread the good cheer of the Yuletide season through the medium of carols. Their singing early last Sunday morning will not soon be forgotten by those who were fortunate enough to hear their songs. f HEIR PROGRAM SUNDAY evening was also very commendable. —o STUDENTS URGED TO EE HOOP GAMES INTENSE INTEREST IS being shown in the intra-mural basketball league this year. A very interesting schedule has been arranged and nine teams are waging their battles in the little gym. STUDENTS ARE BEGINNING to realize that these games have just as much zip and fire as the regular varsity games and ar coming out for them in a big way. EVERYONE IS URGED to attend these games as they are "do or die' affairs and the spectator is sure of getting an eye-full of rip-snorting, high-powered ball during the course of the games. Games are played Monday night, and Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. ART OSGOOD ATTENDS 4H CONVENTION, HELD IN CHICAGO, NOVEMBER 24 Arthur Osgood was one of the Washington boys chosen by the4H clubs to represent them at the national convention at Chicago, November 24 to 30. The chief purpose of the trip was to attend the livestock show. There were about fifteen hundred 4H club members at the convention. Washington sent thirty-five delegates, chosen because of the merit of their past work in the clubs. Arthur was a member of the winning live-stock judging team at Portland last spring. He hails from Lynden and is a sophomore at Normal. Good Time had by all He reports that a "good time was had by all" the delegates at the convention. They were entertained by some of the meat packing companies who proved to be good hosts, as they gave many banquets and offered some wonderful lectures . Art says he enjoyed the trip thru the world fair buildings, which are being erected at the present time. The delegates visited most of the well known museums, and places of interest in the city. He returned to school on December 5. Joseph Normalite Explores College * * * * **** DOESN'T CONSUME THE BITA PIE * * * * * ***** Hovels Known as Fraternity Houses • I have never gone to college, but it was my pleasure to visit some friends who were attending one. • My friends lived in the Eata Bita •Pie Fraternity. I was met at the train and escorted to the Frat House. When we entered, a group of young maniacs was sprawled out all over the parlor, and they were chanting something that went like this: .It wasn't the rum that killed old Joe Nor Gin that took his breath It was just a fly that flew down his •throat And tickled him to death. After the din subsided, I was introduced around. I met all the boys except one, he was seated alone in a corner holding his head and looking very sad. "That man is the most unlucky guy on the campus," whispered my host. "How come?" I asked. "Because," said my- host, "he gargled Listerine for three months and then found out he was unpopular anyway." Then I was shown the lovely rugs in the club room. They were hooked rugs; My host said they hooked them from the Kappa House. . Being then a student in Normal school, I felt I might begin an intellectual conversation by speaking of • something in literature, so I asked ;bne of the; fellows: ; , • ; ' •v "Have you read Carjyle's "Essay on;Biirns?^ and- he replied "No, you • / • : - ' • see I'm not a medical student." Then I asked him if he liked poetry and he said he did. So I asked him what kind he liked, and he answered, "Rhode Island Reds." I could easily see that I was getting nowhere fast, so asked him if he smoked. He turned upon me with the most injured air and asked, "Do I look like a fireplace?" Allen Waters and Lester Wolfely have been confined to their homes by the prevailing flu epidemic. John Beaton, Wilburn Whipple and Leora Graham have returned after absences due to illness. wwwwwwwwwwww Birthdays One of the fellows was singing "Sweetheart of Sigma Chi'. Feeling that I should say something, I addressed my droll friend again. I said, "My, he certainly sings beautifully." No answer so I tried again, "Do you know," I said "one of my life's greatest ambitions is to sing in public." Looking off into space he rejoined, "Why don't you join the Salvation Army?" One can hear conversation of this nature almost everywhere on a college campus. I overheard a couple of girls on the library steps -r- the conversation ran something like this: "Hello Chris! Why my dear, one of your cheeks is brighter than the other—whatsa matter, did you put your rouge on in the dark?" "No, you see it's this way, I sleep on the dull side; the other1 side is exposed to the night air, that's why it is brighter." I certainly was disappointed with the much raved about college life, so that is why I returned to our dear old Normai School' CAMPUS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL * * * * * INA KIRKMAN News stories of the varied program of juvenile assemblies during fall quarter have been written for the Junior Viking by the 7th grade. These stories—very worthy "press stuff"—might be called composites, as few are the work of any one pupil. The best-worded and most interesting sentences from individual accounts have been selected and well woven together by class committees. "The unusual taken at once" is good newspaper psychology. Timely topics, from October weather to Christmas window shopping, have( been recent subjects for'other stories of the 7th graders. The writers have aimed for wider vocabulary and clear word pictures. Two examples prove the marksmanship has been good: Our October Storm Storm warnings had been flashing along the coast for days and now the storm had come. A great sombre cloud was creeping slowly and surely out of the west. The storm came with breath-taking suddenness which startled everyone.

Dormitory Sophs Carol Merrily at Homes of Faculty Many Absences Caused By Flu Holiday Party Is Given at Enger's On Thursday evening Dec. 15, the members of Enger Hall held a Christmas . party. An exchange of gifts was made after which games and refreshments were enjoyed. The evening of holiday merriment was closed by the singing of Christmas carols. Those in attendance were: Mrs. Enger, May and Mabel Enger, Esther Enger, Lois Reynolds, Ruth Buckingham, Thelma and Alice Thompson, and Thelma Finely. o Editorial Council to Put Out Viking Edens Hall Gives Christmas Dinner Roast turkey with all the trimmings, a musical program, Christmas decorations, and candlelight, were features of the annual Edens Hall Christmas dinner held last Wednesday at six o'clock in the dining room. Doris Jurgenson was chairman of decorations, assisted by Margaret Jorgenson, Gretchen Minnear, and Grace Parsons, Vaughn Howell, Florence Haney, Florence Ford and Gwen Eder. Betty Jock was general program chairman. o Nelson Resigns as Council President , Coffee and doughnuts were served bright and early last Sunday morning to a drowsy bunch of Edens hall sophomores who were about to start out on their annual carolling trek to the homes of the faculty. At 5:30 a. m. after the food was gone and the candles had given out the girls carrolled down the halls and out into the cold moonlit morning. The girls carrolled down High and up Garden and still further up Forest stopping to sing at homes where a candle stood in the window. Dean W. J. Marquis supplied the singers with two large trays of cookies for which they were very grateful. A little girl sat high in one window and listened delightedly to the old familiar strains of "Silent Night." At the home of Miss Irene M. Elliot and Miss Leona Sundquist the singers were invited in out of the cold to a tempting treat. When the girls returned to the dormitory the freshmen had breakfast waiting for them. The Christmas theme for decorations was expressed in candles and holly. A jolly Santa Claus gave out presents to all the sophomores and warned them to be better next year or he wouldn't be so lenient.

S. N. S. when Head Coach Red Reese of Cheney Normal placed them on his well selected trinomial all-star aggregation for 1932. His-second squad included, Boxey Flint, stellar end; "Papa" Beaton, defensive half, and "Swede" Smith, dependable kicker in the other halfback post. Coach Reese quotes Sinko as being, "the best running back in the league, and could be used at the safety job. He was always a threat and proved dangerous any time he got by the line of scrimmage." Playing his second year for the Viking forces Sinko deserves plenty of credit for his aggressive spirit on the field and about school. Incidentally, he scored the only touchdown made by the locals this season, when he scored against the Cheney Savages in the Homecoming melee, here. Sulkosky Rated High Junior Sulkosky the spark plug of the forward wall was chosen along with Buffaro of Ellensburg as the two hardest hitting, most accurate linesmen in the conference, to fill the guard positions. Sulkosky, coming from C. P. S., where he played in 1931, stands out among the leaders developed by Coaches Carver and Gunn especially in his defensive play. Besides being a plenty tough guard, Ray always gave the boys a good word before each play and was outstanding in keeping up the morale of the squad. Flint, Beaton, Smith Flint played his second year for Bellingham this season and furnished, plenty of punishment for the opposition. Boxey is fast in going down under punts and stopping the receiver and delights in being on the receiving end of a bullet pass from punt formation. Smith and Beaton two careful kickers and reliable ball packers, "were given the halfback positions on the Cheney mentor's second squad, Smith for his punting and Beaton for his effective blocking and kicking. The tri-normal team: Ends—Tilson C; Valdason, E. Tackles—Roundy, C; Crosby, E. Guards—Buffaro, E; Sulkosky, B. Center—Stevens, C. Quarterback—Fuller, E. Halfback—Sinko, B; McNew, C.

Reese, picking the first all-star team of the past season, puts Ray Sulkosky and Walt Sinko on the all-star aggregation with Beaton, Smith and Flint being among the ones given honorable mention. His selection of Sulkosky and Sinko was no surprise, but in the minds of the fans who follow the Vikings through the past season, there is a little doubt in their minds as to the passing up of Comfort, one of the most outstanding football players to perform for Bel-j lingham in many a moon. True, Comfort was not the flashy type of performer but in all fairness it must be said that when Reese passed him up, he passed up one of the best all-around football players to perform in tri-normal play in the last two years. But then again, it must be said, in all fairness to Reese that picking a tri-normal team is no easy job and from one who saw all three teams in action he did a very creditable job, not only from my standpoint but from also that of Head Coach Carver and Assistant Coach Gunn. It looks like Viking Manor in the first half race of the intra-mural league. Johnny Gable has banded together a very fair aggregation this quarter, one which will be hard to beat. In their game with the Night Raiders they showed a brand of teamwork that will be hard to cope with. Nelson Brewer flanked with Lewis in the guard positions check plenty, and any team that can run up points on this pair will have to be plenty good. And don't for a minute pass up this man Denton. He's big and tough, and showed by holding Posy Flowers to four points, that Denton is going to have plenty to say before the end of the race.- Gable is without a doubt the outstanding player on the team if not in the league. Gable is not only an uncanny shot when it comes to swishing the net but can check with the best of them when checking is needed. —i—o o Beginning the first of the year there's going ta be some hot tussles in the old Intra-mural league. First, there is the Relic-Night Raider battle and then the battle of the Century—the Viking Manor- Relic game. This last mix will be one worth seeing as the first half championship will hinge on the outcome. That's if the Night Raiders dont tip over the Relics. Anyway, if you want to see plenty of good basketball just drop out to the little gym the nights these games are played. Down at the University of Washington, it looks like a change in the football coaching situation again. With a shortage of funds necessitating another slash in the athletic budget and with Phelan's attitude toward certain factions of the Alumni, it looks like next fall will find the fiery Irishman in new stamping grounds. With the start of the new quarter, Coach Carver will embark bis Varsity charges on another basketball campaign... The local fans will get the opportunity to see plenty of good basketball as the local schedule calls for games with Cheney, Ellensburg, C. P. S., Yakima Junior College, and with (Pacific Lutheran college of Tacoma... Add to this the schedule of the Junior Varsity in the City league and you have a basketball menu that is hard to beat. o o With a new quarter only two weeks away, the Northwest Viking goes under a new guiding hand in the person of Pat Allan, new editor. In all probability there will be new heads of all departments including sports. I n the past it has been my policy to work in the best interests of the school as a whole. There is a certain faction or group of students in this institution who have made it their policy to pan everyone who has had anything to do with the athletic program of the school including the coaches and yours truly. As a parting shot, I wish to say that if this certain group of Drugstore Coaches would get behind this school and pull for the Vikings, one and all, everyone would get along in a much better fashion. Goodby and Good-luck. The Revellers sparked to take the Doormats for a ride. The game" ended with a score of 31-18. Matheny and Hammett looked good for the winners and Glopin scored high for the losers. With the fast breaking offense the Revelers took the lead early in the game and continued to hold it throughout.

FORMER NORMALITES TRIM JAYVEE TEAM Gable and Sorensen Are High Point Men for Hilltoppers The Normal Jayvees were defeated Tuesday evening at the Y. M. C. A. when they, fell before the strong Union Printing team 32-27, in a hard fought contest which was rough and closer than the score indicates. Game Close The teams checked closely for three quarters; the Printers leading by a couple of points. In the fourth quarter the Printers hit their stride, led by Duncan, forward, who sank many uncanny shots. The Jayvees fought desperately to score but were unsuccessful in their attack. The game was very rough, many fouls being called. Nolte, flashy Jayvee guard, was the first victim to leave the game.

WASHINGTON Friday, August 22, 1930 *~ -* POOR LITTLE "J.S.'A MID-VICTORIAN BATTLE WOMAN'S MAIN INTEREST GOOD-BYE! , —By Catherine Morse - We hate to start this column, for it is our last for this quarter—in fact, it is 'our very last appearance as "Normalette." We have greatly enjoyed our quarter as a feature column, and we want all our readers to know that we appreciate greatly their support and are sorry this is bur last contact. We realize that there are a large number of people who are of- the opinion that we have contributed nothing to the school with our column, and know that if they had been given the chance, they could have written a "Normalette" that was really worth while." "J. S.," who asserted himself in the last isr sue was one of these people. His discussion was interesting enough as far as it went, but instead of generalizing, his remarks were all directed to one little item. And it was so little of him to be so annoyed about the "battle" of "Bottled*' and "Normalette." If the two columns had carried it out to the entire extent of their columns, the point would be well-taken, but as it was, the occasional remark about the rival column only created mutual reader interest. Poor, little "J. S.," don't be jealous of "Bottled" and "Normalette"; maybe sometime you will be able to get something printed outside of a Student Opinion column. Who had to drag up the Victorian question of the "battle of the.sexes"? And did you see all the men who had to get their little say in? So silly: -Why, that .question has been settled long ago, and it really needs no discussion. Both sexes are equally important, for with either, the race would have died out long ago—only mentality, character and adaptability mark superiority, and these characteristics are distributed regardless of sex. Bob Walters To Fill Editorial Chair In Fall Gordon Leen Elected to Viking Business Manager's Position at Board of Control Meeting Monday. Bob Walters was elected to be editor,, of The Northwest Viking, by the Board of Control, at its regular meeting, last Monday night.

O — : '• Registration Plans For Fall Quarter Complete Schools to Open September 29, Program of Registration Completed. Mixer at Armory to be Held Wednesday, October 1. You know, so often in reading current magazines you are able to pick up little thoughts that rather take your eye: and are most adaptable to your own life. Somewhere, we . ran across a little article the other day on people who are always asking for criticism. You know the type. They come up to you and ask you to read an article they wrote or a picture they drew or something similar and give them your ''honest criticism." Usually, you tell them its awfully nice; or something' similar, and send them away beaming; but if you should take them at their word, nine times out of ten. they will have plenty to say in defense of their work and they will be care* ful not to come to you again for "criticism." And that is exactly 'what this article said. "When a man asks :for criticism, he is usually lookr wg^/pn praise." . | . . : :;• We were' playingwith the radio again and just managed to pick up something that we think was plenty : good.

Monday, September 29, the new Freshmen will enroll from 8 until 8:30 o'clock. Sophomore registration, second, and third; quarter freshmen, and upper division students will register between 8.30 and 5 o'clock. From 11 until 11:50 o'clock, a special assembly for all new Freshmen and other new students, will be held. Greetings and announcements will be made by the President of the Normal School- The Dean of Men, the Dean of Women, and the President "of the Students' Association. Blue- Books will be presented to the new students. Directed tours to points, of interest on the campus will-be held from 8 until 10:30 o'clock.^Matriculation and enrolhnent of- new Freshmen will continirerbe^reen the hours of 1 and 2- o'clock. Another special assembly; for all new stu- Completing two quarters of pains takingly accurate work, Carl Dun-has placed his glider on Tulip Field: He intends to fly it at the first opportunity. Starting last April on a problem of aviation and the construction of gliders. Mr. Durr gradually worked out and decided to experiment in making a glider. Rudimentary plans were secured from the Modern Mechanics magazine. These were insufficient when it came to the' fine work on the ship and necessitated research and extensive study to perfect it as it now is. It has a wing spread of 37 feet. The total weight of the ship is 200 pounds. Each wing weighs about 54 pounds, has 36 supporting ribs made of spruce, a maximum depth of seven inches and is five feet wide. The framework of the wings is covered with a light cotton cloth, treated with airplane dope to lessen friction, shrink the cloth, and make it airtight. This gives it an aluminum appearance. •:!--;^.,J.v-,;v-:;_v-;--v-- -;• ;".-.-• All visible metal fittings are handmade. Airplane spruce has been used throughout the ship. This gives a maximum amount of strength with, a minimum amount of weight. Six-other different kinds of wood have been used where, spruce was inadequate- Mr. Durr, commenting on the construction of the ship said: "Every effort has been made to conserve weight and give strength. Throughout, I have used on the very best grade of airplane materials." The hold that gliding has taken upon the students is evidenced by the formation of a "club at Lynden. They secured for their use a glider similar to that of Mr. Durr's, at a cost of $450.00. There is a glider under construction at Cheney Normal, the University of Washington, and also at Everett High School. Mr. Ruckmick, in commenting on the job said: "The work has necessitated the working out of problems in aviation which were not explained in the plans. It is accurate enough for airplane work." Mr. Rule said: "It is a masterpiece of exactness." All who have observed the work are unanimous in the opinion that it is a remarkable piece of work." The gliding ratio for this type of ship is 15-L That is for every hundred feet of height attained it "can glide 1,500 feet under normally calm atmospheric conditions. An elastic cord is. .used to; snapthe:glider into the air. The cord is attached to the glider from an automobile which speeds across the field. As soon as the ship gets into the air the cord relaxes, dropping from the glider and a gliding altitude is assumed. Mr. Durr wishes to express his appreciation ;of the help and co-operation tltot he has received from Mr. Ruckmick, Mr. Rule, and. Mr.;Rin-dell, of this school; Herb Buroker and Gus Klundt, of the Sound. Air Transport; and Ray Liridberg, of the Whatcom High School.

The Viking staff members regret that Mr. Herbert Fowler, faculty advisor of the Northwest Viking, will not be with us next year. Mr. Fowler has been the good friend of every member of the staff. He has "been good enough to laugh with the dullest of us in our crude attempts at column humor, and wise enough to guide our debunking feet when we threatened to debunk "not wisely but too well." Through knowing him we have learned that a journalist may be both a gentleman and a scholar, and because of that we have become imbued with a high faith in the profession. He has let us mix work and play so well that our short year | or two on the Viking will remain the most fruitful, as well as the happiest years in our lives. He has fostered such a spirit of comradship that to be a Viking cub reporter is to be a high mogul in a very.proud society. The best wishes of the Viking staff go with you', Mr. Fowler, and we know that when you come back "from New York that you "will be the same good fellow that you have been with us while you have been teaching us the tenets of the journalistic creed. • DOUBLE REC HOUR ' Speaking as the organ of the people, it was pretty decent of the Board of Control to give us an extra dance last night. It was a good dance. As the voice of the people— We Thank You! GOOD FOOTBALL According to Pop Gunn and Sam Carver, interest in fall football is getting warmed up early. We have some fast men coming back, and with some good football material among the unknown, this year should be a winning year. But win, lose or draw, with Pop and Sam doing the coaching, we'll have a dead game, fighting football aggregation that will play clean football all season. ' And to get back to our main point again—this looks like a Viking year. . He had a little twisted face and spoke with a foreign accent. "The right arm was off abdve the elbow. "I haven't seen a bed for six weeks". An old man selling pencils, for a livelihood but he was "so jolly, somehow". He was so human and we enjoyed hearing his strange philosophy. . . . . * • * * . * .

But we sat again among the audience at a "distinguished production" and. saw that audience yawn. * * * # These" two types of drama are like two people we know. One talks of culture, social problems, music, literature and art while the other always has a mcriminting bit of scandal to relate—a risque story to recount or something to talk about that nedes a whisper. i * * * * We are cultured individuals and should be interested in, the cultured person and yet how many-of us indulge in people such as the latter. * * * * \ . We are cultured, yet how many of us who yawned at the "Pigeon" the evening before sat rapt in interest while "Strictly Dishonorable" was being reviewed? mion SCHOLARSHIP SOCIETY We congratulate Victor Bidwell on his election to the presidency of the Scholarship Society. To be a member of the society ,is to have attained a very high standerd of scholarship during several quarters. We would like to see Mr. Bidwell and the other members of the organization make the society the finest club in the school. It has been largely though the good students.who have gone out from the institution that the Normal has come to be known as one of the leading teacher training institutions in the United States. A real interest in scholastic achievement, such as the Scholarship Society stimulates will do much to force the Normal further up the Institutional ladder. GOOD B Y E NORMAL. Next quarter Bob Walters will be the editor of the Northwest Viking. We hope that the staff with which he will work will be as •good as the one which has assisted us during the past two quarters. It lhas been fun, Working with the boys and girls who turn out the school paper. We are sorry that we won't be back to help next year. We wish Mr. James Carrell the best of all possible good luck, and we happen to know that the staff is going to like him. And with that we sign our "thirty." Good Bye Normal!

S. was disgruntled and throught to throw off steam by passing the buck (fight) to two of our best-known columnists. Not having much to say about (shall we say) himself, he proceeded to rewrite both "Bottled by Bond" and "Normalette" in one column. His first paragraph admits both columns have done very little good.

Does it appear junkey to you? Perhaps! My, my, am I talking of the unavoidable! How terrible — how preposterous. This dear, jolly, old publication of scandal, thwarted ink and wasted paper. To think that it subjected to the innocent public! It's amazing, that's all; it's amazing! And we get away with it. How unjust! And such columns—such rubbish! They should be discontinued! It is fortunate that old Voltaire made his statement to. Helvetius. Absolutely! What was his statement? Oh, yes; I remember—"I wholly disapprove of what you say and will defend to the death your right to say it." Thanks, Voltaire, you saved at least two of the columns of this paper. OPPORTUNITY Knocking again, claims Normal-ette in the "Allegory," printed in last week's Viking. The fact that Normqlelte got her gender mixed up does not concern us, but toe do wish to correct the column on -its supposed? "freedom of the press." We sure wish to state at this time that Voltaire had the right idea, but history refused to substantiate his argument. We know a lot of good jokes that we cant print for obvious reasons, according to the editor. We heard, recently, one in particular about a Dutchman that Was pretty good. If anybody Wants to hear it, see the author of this column or S. C. ' This fall, the Bellingham Normal School's football team will, play two night football games, one at Portland, October 10, against Oregon Normal and the other with C. P. S., at Tacoma. Statistics prove that more than one-half the College students marry other College students, and we wonder just how much these statistics will be furthered by the advent of night-football.

According to the dope there is, go-- ing to be a lively bunch of individuals up here at school this fall.

The crack baseball team of Edens Hall won the mid-summer championship from such fast teams as El Nido and the Rinkeydinks.

They also won gt; but not Quite so decisively, from the Rinkeydinks,' 5 to 3, and 10 to 5. The Rinkeydinks are the second team by virtue of two wins from Ei Nido.

From there":ttiey: 'will Although there seems no great interest, in finding out who is the best loser in the elimination tennis tournament, there has been a great struggle to avoid being eliminated. The first big elimination of the tournament was the match between Jeanette Lang and Elizabeth Gable, in which Lang made a decisive win of 7-5, 6-1. In the next round of matches Jeanette Lang defeated Ar-lene Johanson, 6-4, 6-3, which put her in the semi-finals. The, two who' enjoy playing so much with each other, Edna McKelvey and Bernice Johnson,: again spent two or three afternoons finishing up a match which McKelvey filially won with the sets 6-2, 2-6, 6-1, This match between these two rivals may or may not decide which is the better player. It still is a* disputed question, and depends, ori the individual which side you uphold. Tuesdays McKelvey and Lang took the afternoon off and played the match to finish up the eliminating. After warming up and starting in immediately to play, the reporter on the scene was rather confused and was unable to discern the technical difference between the match play and ordinary • pingpong. Although there were a few close shots on the: back and sidelines, on the whole ;it was not an: i outstanding match.

At present, efforts are being concentrated upon the western part of the field, the tentative' site of the new tennis courts. The power shovel and three dump trucks of Chasteen and' Dorsey, local ~ contractors, are operating at full capacity in' the work of leveling. Continuation of the work upon the major -portion of the field, the eastern part which is •the site for the new football field, is impeded by an extremely"; intricate problem ,61 drainage.' This, among other complications, makes the setting of a definite date for the completion of the entire field impossible. The field is planned to be one of the most attractive in the Northwest. It is to be set hi a site which is almost ideally suited-by nature for its future purpose. It will have separate fields, with ho overlapping; for football and baseball, and-also a group of new tennis courts. The decision upon the site of the new field was made with thought given to the future position of the anticipated physical education building, and also to an idea of harmony in the lay-out of the campus as a whole. Since the afore-mentioned physical education building will occupy part. of the present athletic field, heed for "the new field, will come as soon'as work is started on the building. Accordingly, work has been started early in anticipation of this need. Since only $10,000 have been appropriated for the work thus far, it has been carried on rather slowly. Providing that sufficient funds are left from that amount next spring, it is expected that the tennis courts will be constructed then. o——— Miss AuGrey Zellers, Calss of '27. visited school this week. Miss Zellers attended the University of Southtern California, returning about the first of the year to resume her teaching- at the Normal. the very first round seems to be between Ruth Davis and Betty Taylor, with Davis favored to win.

Jack Black Bares Causes of Crime Former Criminal and Author of "You Cant Win," Relates His Experiences to Attentive Audience In Assembly. That crime is unprofitable, was the theme of the address by Jack Black, to the students in assembly, last Tuesday morning. Mr. Black's knowledge is founded on personal experience in and out of prison. He is the author of "You Can't Win," which has been in the best-seller class. •• :.. Black placed some of the blame for crime. on ^society,, and declared that environment has much to do with criminal tendencies and youthful activities. Hhe criticized the drastic Baume Law, of New York state, holding- that it is too harsh. Th speaker recalled his own criminal days and said that he redemption was due to the efforts of a San Francisco .editor and to the consideration of a judge in that city. It is believed that he referred to Fremont Older, veteran journalist, and Judge Prank H. Dunn. , Black reported that during the San Francisco fire of 1906, evidence connected with one of his escapades was destroyed and that he was held in prison six and one-half years while the authorities tried to re-collect the evidence or enough of it to convict him. He finally escaped, but he was arrested again. It was at this stag ethat the editor pleaded for a light sentence. The court sentenced him to one year in San Quentin. He served ten months, and after his release tie reformed, partly to show his appreciation of the consideration shown him by the editor and the judge.

': More Than 130 Pictures Displayed in Men's Club Room This Week; Many Types of Photographs Entered. Bond Says Summer Rec Program Good "The summer recreation provided for the students, was more than usual this past summer quarter," declared Mr. E. A. Bond. "Intramural basketball was the main sport during the first six weeks, while baseball was the outstanding sport during the last six weeks. A school hike was sponsored each week-end of the quarter. •v gt;;f The recreation committee, headed by E. A. Bond, feel that the students have participated in the rec-reation program in a wonderful way this summer. V: Fifty-six students and faculty took the Mount Baker trip; forty went gt;to Hannegan Pass, forty-eight saw Sky Line, thirty-two were at; Twin .Lakes," and"thirty-six placed their feet on Lookout mountain. The largest and what was declared to be the finest photography exhibit to be shown in the Normal school was held this" week by the photography class in the Men's Club room. More than 130 pictures were shown, which is twenty-five more than have appeared in previous exhibits. "I was particularly pleased with the work of the class this quarter," Mr. Herbert Ruckmick, instructor, declared, "because of the enthusiasm with which the class members attacked the problems of photography, and because of the ingenuity and quality of the-work turned out." Various types of photographs were exhibited, most of which were made with small folding and box cameras, and then enlarged. Still life work, landscapes, industrial studies, seascapes, portraits and architectural studies, and other types of photography were shown in the exhibit, which was handled by a committee consisting of Mrs. Martha Ford, Sam Buchanan and Margaret Solum. Among the most outstanding work exhibited were several studies by Mrs. Ford, including an unusually attractive view of the indoor stairs in the Library building, and several portraits taken by Harold Rush by means of a small box camera and a portrait attachment. "The students have shown a very good grasp of composition values," Mr. Ruckmick declared, "And I believe have'gotten a good deal from the course in the appreciation of the beauty around them. Nearly all of the pictures taken were obtained in local settings." "We are going to try to make the Scholarship Society a real goal for students interested in maintaining a high scholastic standing," Victor Bidwell, newly elected president of the Scholarship Society declared after his election last week. "Edith Dyer, who was president of the organization during me past year, has done a great deal to strengthen the club, and we are going to try and continue her work." Mr. Bidwell was J named to head the club at a meeting held at Rainbow Beach recently.

' . * * * Perhaps the public that G. W. L. has built up for Normalite during the many "quarters he has conducted it will be sufficiently observant to notice that those mysterious initials no longer adorn the title space. Contrary to popular belief, the -., initials G. W. L. do not stand for that noted Pullman porter, George Washington Lee, sun, but rather for Gordon W. (Will-Raise-You-Ten) Leen, business manager of The Viking. In his execution of this column in the past, we saw an insidious attempt, on the part of the busi ness managership, to trample upon the thought and public policy of the editorial department of this pub lication. Such financial tyranny has at last, ended! friends!. Much could be written about it, but none will be. •But, seriously, G. W. L.'s successor extends, to the former writer, his congratulations upon the successful compilation of such a column* in such a worthy, manner, for such a long-time. Such, such, such! Shake! s * * * A r . . . . . . The present writer prefers to remain anonymous. That means that -it won't-he quite:-so- easy for—the persons who take offense at the impertinent remarks which may creep in here (oh, so unconsciously) to find him and run him out of town. Loss of personal fame and shame, then, is the, price which he must pay for the right to write this column, and praise the virtues and expose the vices—or vice virtue—of this noble Normal. * * * Last week the Lord High Editor, from whom all blessings seldom flow, published a statement of his policy; in the editorial columns. •I'll have you know, Mr. Walters, that this column will not be subservient to the dictates of an editorial conscience, which undoubtedly is swayed by $10 a week, bribes from the dormitory dining room, or the power trust. We shall keep our red badge of courage constantly in the public eye—like grapefruit— and we shall not retract our statements until—well, our rates will be quoted on request. * * * Frankly, friends, the purpose of this column is to slay dragons and rescue maidens. What we need right now is one good dragon, house broken, who can be stabbed in vital organs every week, as long as the box office receipts hold up. Also beautiful maidens needing to be rescued may obtain our services reasonably. (Private interviews required.) Which all means that—and this is serious—this column, if it is worth its salt, will do good by healing any sores which may exist to sap the strength »f the students and, the school.

They called for an evening dance to take the place of the usual Friday afternoon period. Besides this, they want the one hour rule doubled, so that two hours of dancing can be enjoyed. The reasons for this change were that a number of the students must spend Friday afternoons participating in some athletic, or working so that they might earn money to go to school. There has been much discussion regarding the subject, and the. issw is getting livlier each day. The petition signers constituted a fair sized group, and as far as can be. judged, there are many that didn't sign who expressed their opinions in favor of some kind of change. The money for these Rec hours is taken from the student fees, paid at registration time, and is allotted by the budget system. This budget is made up by the Board of Control, in conjunction with President Fishers figures^ .'_^,.._ ..„_..„_j.,„1?r^.._..'.„.^.. The budget'made up May 26 of this year allows the social activities of the school $1,800.' The major part of this will go to orchestras for the. Rec Hour , to be staged during the next four quarters. Last spring and summer quarters, several of the Friday dances were held in the evenings, and for two hours. They proved. quite popular and drew good sized crowds. One of the main arguments that has been brought ^forth, as various informal groups get together and discuss the change, is that when no other school entertainment is being fostered, the students, as a rule, go to dances and shows off the campus, and as long as the students paying' for the dances.want them at night, they should be entitled to their wishes. At a late hour President Fisher was approached in regard to the subject. He stated that he hadn't FOWLE^AIR-MINDED; TAKE^ WEEKLY gt;TRIP TO? TEACH" GLASS Mr. Herbert? E. Fowler has been elected: •Jo.^wprk; in the university's pioneer extension movement by the New York .University, at Washington Square, where he is associated with the school of education. Each Monday he leaves Newark airport and travels by plane to' Jamestown, New York, a three and one-half hour air journey. After teaching an evening class, he returns to New York City on Tuesday to resume his regular university classes. On the first of the airplane's weekly departures for Jamestown, the ship was formally christened by Mrs. Withers, wife of the dean of the school. Ginger ale, Mr. Fowler says, was used. — O - ; • MEN'S CLUB MIXER IS WELL ATTENDED (Continued on Page Two) o CUMMINS ATTENDS PORTLAND MEETING | | | | | | p i p 8 j ^ ^ estab- ^™^§$^ crafts-; (Continued on page Four) On October 3 and 4, Miss Nora B. Cummins, faculty member, attended the biennial conference of the American Association of the University of Women for the North Pacific section, held in Portland. Miss Cummins is chairman of the Northwest section of international relations. She addressed the conference on "The Furthering of International Relations." Rhinehart Speaks Among the outstanding speakers was Dr. Aurela Rhinehart, president of Mills College, who delivered a speech on "Going Through College." Dr. Rhinehart emphasized the fact that the test of a real education is the accumulation of ideas and hot the' prospect of getting a degree, and; /that inofrtal training and training of affections should enter into the education of the college student. Dr. Coleman of Greggs College chose as his subject "The Round Table in International Relations." Dr. Coleman offered as a solution of so many of the club's problems a "round table" discussion with all the members.

This number, although less than fifty per cent of the meni.'represents a good turn out. The men aren't organized at such an early date, and in the past the response has been far smaller. The program that was offered was decidedly. varied. The meeting was opened by Ingwald Iverson, president. James Carrell, of, the speech department, gave a' humorous reading, and Dr." Harry"; Masters made a short talk. A new feature was introduced into the gathering, by Herbert Ruckmick. Mr. Ruckmick, who heads the industrial arts staff, is an ardent photography fan. Besides teaching several classes in that subject, he follows the hobby personally. At the stag meeting he showed motion pictures of Hannegan pass and a Mt. Baker climb. There were many new- and old students, as well as faculty members present. President Iverson expressed hope that a large turnout could be secured at all the Men's club meetings in the future. In all probability the men will be forced to attend, as the work is carried on during the assembly hour, and it is customary to usher the members into an adjacent room. .• — O— : Nominations Held For Vanadis Bragi ' The first meeting of Vanadis Bragi 'for the fall quarter was held Thursday evening, October 2.

This brings praise from two different angles; President Fisher comes into the light, by having practically all the cash that was stolen covered with insurance. Out of the $2,099 taken, $2,000 was protected. The key to keeping the school loss down was the perfect co-operation • that existed between the officials and students in stopping check payments. Out of the $4,000 in checks taken, as far as can be ascertained, there will be no loss on them. If the faculty and students can harmonize their work in such a short interval; they should jointly conquer many large scholastic and pleasure • projects. TO THE BOARD Drawing our conclusions from a stack of ancient weeklies and varied stories from the old timers of the school, the cry set up over lack of school spirit is annual material for the fall quarter "Moaners, Incorporated." This quarter being no exception, the "corporation" has been functioning for several weeks. Though the pep displayed at Saturday's game gives the "company" ample reason for disgust, it is far from being correct in its definition lt; of the subject. The pep is not lacking among the personnel of the school, it is merely missing in the make-up as a whole. Thus this definition brings us right to the point—organization, and plenty of it, is needed to bring the group out of the doldrums. Before three-quarters of the last school year had been completed, it was acclaimed, by those in the know, one of the peppiest in history. It started out in the usual slump, but, with the aid of student leaders, the pep fever increased degree by degree, and didn't stop until the last class session had been completed. One student organized a pep band. Another worked out an intensive homecoming program. The yell kings drilled and drilled the mass, and finally turned out a strong grandstand team. Last of all, a pep club was formed, and though to say it carried out its purpose is incorrect, it nevertheless brought about organization. And now to reach a conclusion. It is not too late to develop the "rah, rah" stuff this quarter, although action should have been taken before now. As a student governing body the task should fall to the Board of Control. We grant that they have been holding up business, pending the election, but the opportunity now is ripe. :The Northwest Viking requests that they take strong steps toward this organization we speak of. Possibly they have formed plans; if so, more power to them. If not, we want action. The Viking means nothing malicious with its demands for pep work, and is willing to co-operate with the Board to the full extent of its strength. A CONTRAST . Last year the backers of dining room reform, among other things, produced statistics showing that a large percentage of the Edens Hall diners didn't attend breakfast. This year, to date, most of the tables have been filled each morning. Could it be that the alarm clocks are being constructed with larger bells? WUXTRY! WUXTRY! gt; RAIN FORECAST Painstaking, exhaustive, tedious, conclusive, and, in short, altogether indubiiable experiments conducted by Messrs. Dumkopfen, Dumkopfen, Dumkopfen Son, Son, and Son, in their lavora-—oh, oh—lab~ oratories on south Normal Drive, have given to the public the start' ling news that rain is expected with' in the next thirty days!! The color, texture, density, etc., of said rain cannot with any great certainty be foretold, but it is. expected that it will be of the usual general appearance, and will do more or less good and more or less harm, as is the custom. Which brings us around to the question, ever-present and never settled, of the doubtful composition of Canadian cigarettes. * * * We noticed with great interest that they have removed that clump of thick, heavy bushes from the front of the campus. Several most interesting articles were nakedly exposed to the public gaze when the process was finished. Wonder why the darned bushes were moved? And say (we mean this in all seriousness), we did hear a faint rumor of a big plan, conceived by some architect, to move our knoll clear off the map, all trees, etc., included, the idea being to furnish a more balanced campus and a better city and marine view. Now then, so help us Josephine, we intend to get to the bottom of all this and attend to it right away. If we weren't writing vthis just in time for the deadline, we'd get busy right now. Any idea like this cannot be tolerated for an instant, and the "Sap o' Sehome" will always do its full and fair duty to its generous and bountiful public, etc., etc. * * * Boy, we mean to tell you, we certainly get a big and large and juicy boot out of the odd strutting antics of some of these rosy-cheeked frosh. Even when we realize that Normal is but a small and unimportant auxiliary to a certain large preparatory school of the near vicinity, we continue to chuckle. And, y'know, a good laugh once in-a while makes life just a little more interesting. We s'pose We'll have to divulge the news that the Sap took a couple of days to go dea—deer hunting, just recently, and was about as successful as most deer hunters are; which is to say, he got plenty wet, and pretty near tired out, and from his general appearance upon return, it was predicted that he wouldn't last more than a few. hours, at the most. However, fate was kind, and he survived to supply the needs of his anxious public. One of the most interesting spectacles we have seen in the last few weeks was that of a singer who is nationally famous, and thus certainly worth while, standing on a stage giving his final bows to the backs of an audience of pushing, jabbering, lunch-bound students. No matter how often, during the year, we view that kind of sights, they always seem new and vastly absorbing, although not particularly pleasant. The editor asked that we supply our best Sunday-go-to-meeting opinion of the idea of evening rec hours. Well, we're all for 'em. They'd give the. poor struggling musicians a chance to change from a steady diet of coffee and doughnuts once in a while. Aside from that we think they'd be more interesting all around. —r-O SECRETARY SUPPLIED IN RESEARCH BUREAU TODAYfS POETRY ; There's a locar epidemic, Oh, it's really quite the rage. Why in circles academic And among professors i sage There are sayings' which deserve detest, . But none which I have cursed With half so great a fiendish zest As "Last name first". t When you want to buy a locker key, Or you meekly ask to pay The ransom for the paper fee On Registration day. They look on you with baleful eye; You contemplate the worst. It comes: a sheaf of cards, a sigh, And "Last name first". Now years ago a clever friend Of intellect quite logical Pursued with rather nervous trend His calling pedagogical. They bullied him from place to place. They got him all reversed; Until he couldn't bear to face His last name first. Oh, when I die, may I be free From such distinctions fine, And when St. Peter says to me "Sign on the dotted line", I'll straightway wake from slumber, Leave that place and seek the worst, Where I'll swap: my name for number, If it's "Last name first". That reminds me, though. This column must not be construed to be guided by the formal editorial policy of The Northwest Viking. The writer admits obedience to no one except— and if I told you her—I mean their—names, why, well—oh, of course, it's mamma and papa. But least the reader be not clear— this column is a law unto itself, until the law is repealed. Algernon (and by the way,. Algernon and his twin brother, Mar-maduke, are the official column heroes) continues: "I'm finishing my second year at the Normal. I've gone to other schools of higher education. Among my friends are men and women who have gone to school in all parts of the country. My conversation with them has brought me to these conclusions: 1. That education is not so much a matter of learning what day of the week it was that Napoleon gave Josephine the boot, or what the seventh amendment to the constitution of the Arabian Knights was, but what the motives and phyosophies of men and Women have been. 2. That education is not a matter of learning a lot of concrete facts which fit only one situation, but of learning how to learn things, so we may meet the unexpected, instead of only the expected situations. 3. That education is really a map of the road of life, like sign posts on a road are pointers to a destination. Many of us have confused the means with the end. Continued From Page 1 . NIGHT FOOTBALL The local football squad will venture into a new atmosphere of play-, ing conditions when they meet the Oregon State Normal, of Monmouth, on the Multnomah field in Portland. ,.

The players are to lie guests at the Washington Stadium to see the Washington-Idaho game. Another thing for you football fans to worry about is that Ellens-burg Normal played a scoreless tie with the strong Gonzaga team last Friday, in a night game, at Spokane. You will probably remember that Gonzaga is on par with some of the Coast Conference teams and the Vikings play their last .game of the season against Ellensburg. * * * Our team should win in Portland Saturday night.

Good for them! it's a fine spirit and goes to show that competition will be keen for all positions on the team. * $ « $ BAGSHAW PASSES Enoch Bagshaw, the "Little Giant," has passed away. One of the foremost figures in the football world, he will long be remembered for his achievements on the gridiron. Last Saturday, in the University of Washington Stadium, the .scene of his greatest triumphs, thousands paused for a silent moment to pay homage to the man they respected and admired. Bagshaw was lost to the Purple ' and Cold long before his death. , Through a long period of strife and turmoil within the school, Bagshaw stuck it through with one of his '•: greatest assets—loyalty; loyalty to ••••• his teams and school. Loyal to his ; •£ teams even though they were losing and loyal to his school which divided against him. Perhaps some in the Stadium had been against him, but the greater ,. part of them felt deep respect and }^^admiration for the little Welshman, who didn't know the word quit. {The Washington that understood Enoch Bagshaw will long remember andipay sincere tribute to the "Little.

'• Pulling-, the ancient blanket play to...: score | t h e first touchdown, the Coast Guardsmen from Port Town lt; send had -the lead on.-the Vikings-last Saturday, only, to weaken and allow the Normalites to score two; touchdowns. Rated as the underdogs, the Coast Guards held the Vikings in the*first quarter and scored on them in the second. Catching the Vikings nap-: ping, Allerdice tossed a pass to Frodle, who crossed the line. The try for point failed. Vikings Hold in First During the first half the Vikings held the ball most of the time, but the breaks were against them, fumbling in the shadow- of the goal posts. In the second quarter, the Guardsmen, through a series of passes and good runs, brought the ball deep into Viking territory. Frodle, left end for the Guardsmen, followed the head linesman over to the side of the field, while the Vikings were napping and Allerdice, quarterback, threw a beautiful pass that he completed, making the score 6 to 0 at the end of the half, in favor of the Coast Guards. Vikings Score in Second The second half found a different I story, the Vikings doing the -scoring. The third quarter was full of spectacular plays. One being when H. Shelton, Viking halfback, intercepted a pass on his 30-yard line, running it deep into the opponents' territory. The Vikings lost the ball but regained it after intercepting another pass. Then followed a march up the field that didn't stop until the goal was crossed. Burich made the touchdown and converted, putting the Hilltoppers ahead by . a one-point margin. The third quarter ended 7 to 6 in favor of the Vikings. The fourth quarter found the Vikings getting the better of the'battle, but unable to score again uri-- til the end of the game. The Vikings had the ball within scoring distance early in the canto, but a pass over the goal line gave the Guards the ball on their own 20- yard line, where they kicked out of danger. Near the end of the game the Vikings began another rush, headed by Flower's, Viking star. The goal was crossed just as t he gun went off. Flowers taking it over and, Shelton making the try for point. The game ended 14 to 6, in favor of the Vikings. iiine Works Slow The line worked well although slow in charging at times. The. passing attack was a bit wild in the latter part of the game, but somewhat effective. Flowers was the most consistent groundgainer for the Vikings, making, gains every time he was called upon. Other members of- the team showed up nicely, giving promise for an exceptional team. Frodle and Allerdice were the outstanding players for the invaders. 'Although the score wasn't decisive, the team as a whole looked better, than the team that beat the Guardsmen 76 to 0 last year. .

The appointments of. reporters are only'"temporary but they are very promising. Also there are some sec-: ond.quarter students back helping . on.the sta^f!*'.'..1' .'.'..• The following students are the new temporary reporters: Katherine Mointer,' Roger Chapman, Roy Griffin, Doris Philippi, Lew Love-grer^ Aiieen Hurlbert, Bruce Kibbe, Evelyn Altmah, Irene Dickson, Vera Bond, Evelyn Elliot, Iver Moe, Edith Jenkins, and Elinor Anderson. gt;The special staff writers are: Hermit Smith, Dolly Anderson, ... Iva Guernsey, Bob Cox, Vernon Vine, and Arden Benthien, the Benny of Sehome. James Carrell is the hew faculty advisor. • The business staff is also quite active, having added two new officers. Stanley Hovland, formerly of the U. of W. Daily, is the new advertising manager, with Jack Greaves in the office of circulation manager. , The Viking has just recently bought over the McNitts Collegiate feature and advertising service. This recent purchase gives exclusive publishing rights to copyrighted service of editorial and cartoons and also the supply of mats for the cuts. The circulation department has also extended two hundred more copies to be circulated in the seventh and-"eighth grades of the training school. This increases the circulation of the paper to over twelve hundred copies weekly. The Tri- Normal Press Association, of which the Viking is founder and originator, will start publishing news from Cheney; and Ellensburg Normals next week. _ o Free A divity Hour Method Is Adopted Miss Strickland, of the training school, is carrying out a plan of having a free work period for her first grade children in order that they may learn how to manipulate materials, to have initiative in settling their own problems and to have ability, in thinking and carrying them out. . At present the children are working on a harbor and an airport in Which each pupil is responsible for some part. Some are constructing planes, and some boats and bridges. The children work on their projects until about 9:30 a. m., after which each one takes his project to class for discussion and criticism. According to Miss Strickland this teaches the children to be open-minded in their criticisms and also to think and use judgment in what they are doing. o HEALTH EXAMS "To date, the students examined for the condition of their health are physically better than those examined last fall,". Miss May Mead, school nurse, said Thursday. Nearly 300 students have so far been examined by Doctors John McGregor, Charles Teel and S. Mc- Petridge and the Misses Kathleen O'Malley, assistant in the nurses' office, Mildred Jewell,' Ruth Weyth-man and Margery Horton. o FroshSoccerSquad : Works on Technique Soccer material for the Women's Athletics, according to "the coach, Miss Marjorie Horton, looks promising on one side although the Frosh have by far the most out this year. The Frosh have a job on their hands to work themselves up to the place where. the Sophs now stand in the matter of experience. Most of the month will be spent in working on technique of the game, as the Frosh seem to be especially weak on the subject. Those girls who reported are: Sophomores — Vera Pterson, Clara Zaddock, Vera Waham, Lorena Burke, Hope Witneck, Gladys Swick, Florence Goodman, Anne Swanson, Sigred Wiberg, Eva Forest, Thelma Hilburger, Marion Bodiker. Frosh— Lucille Huntington, Mary Tarbox, Vera Esteby, Winnifred De Witt, Katherine Rose, Lucille Hall, Pauline Ritter, Elva Pilquist, Dorothy Price, Betty Pearson, Esther Ahern, Emma Fladebo, Frieda Klinski, Helen Meredith, Frances Mears, Lois Magnueson, Norma Wirsing, Oliva Sleasman, Helen Harlow. -" o-. Breakfast Popular Among Early Risers It has become the custom this year for Normal school students to take breakfast at 7:15 a. m. in the Edens Hall dining room. This is contrary to the practice of last year, when the majority of students arose unfailingly at 6 a. m., but at once proceeded to study straight through until class time, becoming so absorbed in their studies that breakfast was almost always forgotten. Of course, this new idea has its advantages, and also it has its disadvantages. It cannot be condemned, and it can scarcely be praised. One can readily see that this year's students are not nearly as studious, on the average, as were last year's. Do you see any of these new frosh sacrificing their bodily wants to the demands of their hunger for knowledge? Do you? Do you? Nope, you do not. You see them crowding to the festive boards like a crowd of ravenous young wolves! They, even cut short their blessed slumbers to glut their appetites. Where these wondrous appetites owe their origin is a question. (The editor suggests that they may all spend their energy throwing paint at Ruckmick's—uh, uh—automobile. We ourselves noticed that it has appeared in two marvelous and totally different shades. Almost a riot of color.) Another tentative hypothesis is that the alarm clock salesmen have been unusually active around the campus this fall, and—well, one can see what the result of that kind of business would be. In conclusion, we wish to add this startling bit of news: The students of this year are attending dormitory breakfasts! Reservesr Meeif V; To Elect Officers] ; The student group of Girl Reserves met last Wednesday afternoon to organize and elect officers. The group is made up of former Girl Reserves and their friends. The girls plan to adopt a program to fit the needs of college women. Mrs. Mills and Marion' Burtnam were present at the meeting. Miss Burtnam presided. . Jenrie Berg and Marian German represented the group at the student conference at Seabeck last summer. — o Girls' Dancing Class Practices Bi-Weekly Class Deposits Coins For Every Mistake Normalite Continued From Page 1 man.' Personally, I would like to call it Flask-Lights, or Shots From the Hip, but that seems rather inappropriate, and I have resigned my rights to that title to Benny Benthien. gt; There is one other tradition that G.

And so to sleepe. "Mistakes are costly," once wrote one of our great, jotters, and The Viking newswriting class firmly agrees with his statement. It seems that it is up to these cub reporters to correct the copy after it is set up. Heretofore mistakes meant nothing. Now they cost money. A toy bank, in the form of the Graf Zeppelin, has been purchased. Each time the cub overlooks anything' to be corrected, pennies are dropped into the "flyer," to atone for his "sin." After huge sums of money |have been deposited', the "Graf II" will lake a high dive into the grocers, and a feed will be held at the print shop. o ULLIN RETURNS While returning from her recent European tour Miss Anna Ullin visited in New York with several former instructors of this school, Misses.

Normal Trustees, Presidents, Meet In Seattle Today 4" Well, it looks as if Herbie didn't win, after all. The race was close, however, with prexy-elect Roosevelt carrying 42 out of the 48 states. Another thing was the contrast in the . Normal straw vote and in the general election. The Bellingham Normal went for Hoover; the people went., for.. Frankie... The.. Normal went against the tax limit of ..40 mills. The people don't want to be taxed at' all. The Normal went for water and orange juice. The people went for: a. Light Wines b. Dark Wines. c. Beer. d. More Beer. e. Still More Beer. W.S.N.S.- Which all means just that we, as future teachers, will have problems and situations with which to cope that the' teachers of today do not have. It will mean that our tools for working with these problems will be partly taken away. We probably will be paid less for harder effort. But, to carry out the primary principle of education, to make GOOD CITIZENS of the children of the state, is worth the effort no matter what the reward. ' —W.SJST.S. And now that the election is over, we can get down to business. Politics is to the public what football is to the student—something to get hoarse yelling over. W.S.N.S. I'll bet Herbie's face was red when he made that crack about there being forces in Washington to "handle" mobs. What do you suppose the ex-A. E. F. thought about it? We know, but we can't tell you. There's a law against the too-free use of profanity in college journals. W.S.N.S. Most of the western college straw votes went overwhelmingly to Hoover, as did the one here at Normal. A vote at Washington State college tallied about 54 per cent for Mr. Hoover. The University of California, Stanford, and Oregon State also "went Hoover". W.S.N.S. I still don't see why President Fisher had to be disappointed in the result of the straw vote on Initiative No. 61, as he said he was last Tuesday. You know, it strikes me that there is almost enough evidence to warrant the repeal of the bone dry laws. But it's all over but the asphyxiation. .- -W.S.N.S.- — Another battle of the century is due next Saturday. Homecoming will be in full swing, and Cheney will be over here with blood in its eyes. The fighting Vikings are due for a tough game, but this year they Stand more chance of winning. And it isn't only the team that will win. The student body is beginning to play football with the team. We are getting behind them and we can't stop now! Homecoming is but a week away. In the coming week, let us build pep and spirit.

Jimmie tSoddard, editor, was present at the meeting. Discussion centered about the fact that the Viking budget had suffered a slash due to the drop in enrollment and therefore the editor should take a cut. Reasons Discussed The reduction was consiedred justified because of the budget cut and that the salary and the appropriation probably would not balance if it remained at ten dollars per issue The question of allowing the Viking the use of Klipsun football cuts in the Homecoming issue of the paper was discussed and laid on the table. Editors and business managers of the two publications will appear at the next meeting to settle the problem.

Intense interest is being shown throughout the school concerning the freshman bonfire which wlil herald the opening of Homecoming at Bellingham Normal this year. Mickey Clark, frosh prexy, states: "This year's Homecoming bonfire is going to be the biggest and hottest this school has ever had the opportunity to warm its feet at." Excitement is at fever pitch with Clark echoing the opinion of the freshmen class "that a Cheney Savage will be roasted at 7:30 o'clock on the evening of November 18." Fire Will Be Big The pyre is growing in proportions daily with the frosh scouring the city for boxes, boards, cases and papers. Clark', Nolte, Campbell, Jones, Chandler, and Moser have been doing most of the work and are ready to offer battle to any and all invading sophs who attempt to touch off the' big heap before scheduled time. Sulkosky Will Preside The honor of lighting the big torch is going to the captain of the Viking football squad, Ray Sulkosky. The serpentine preceding the fire will start approximately at 6:30 on High street and will wind its way down to city center where the merry collegians will raise their big rumpus. According to * the program the merry-makers will return to the fire at about 8:30, hear speeches from numerous celebrities and then retire to the big gym for an hour of dancing. Viking Special The Blue and White edition of the Northwest Viking will be delivered to students and alumni next Saturday morning between 9 and 10 o'clock.

I n a lonely, un-loved old age they may find themselves regretting: Mocking, haunting shadows . . . . All that's left in life for me . . . . .

" R E L I G I O N , POLITICS, and commerce may divide, but love of childhood expressed in education is a mighty force for unity. What greater contribution could America make to the world than the ideal, a fair start in life for every boy and girl?

The theme of this year's national week is "Young America Book Parade" and the aim is to "stress books with authentic American flavor," although it does not confine itself to American books. The children's book week started in 1918 with the idea of making good books known, so that they could be had for Christmas. The movement was taken up by libraries and schools throughout the country and is now "sponsored largely by them. In this school children's book week will be celebrated by a program on Friday, Nov. 18, by^ the 5th grade; This program will be presented three times so that all students will, have an opportunity to attend. Hours for the programs will be 'posted-^at ;,a. later date: INA H. KIRKMAN "—and Columbus sailed the ocean blue In fourteen ninety-two!" Not by the aid of rhyme—rather by reason—is the fourth grade of the Training school satisfying its curiosity as to why the New World had to wait so long to be discovered. Why were not Columbus, Magellan, and Balboa as much afraid to sail unknown seas as their ancestors? This question arose after some stories and talks of fabled sea-monsters and "dropping off places" at the edge of a flat -world. New Helps to Sailors Found A member of the class recalled an article which spoke of the invention of printing. A committee followed this hint and reported on the spread of learning through means of books. . The advantages of the compass over sun, moon, and stars, as a guide to the mariner, were studied. The class set itself to construct crude compasses to test the principle of the instrument. * Corks and Needles Make Compasses Needles were magnetized and fastened in corks which were then set in water. They worked! On different days the young scientists moved these floating compasses about, removed from the room the magnet used on the needles, and otherwise tested them. The only source of disappointment lay in the quick loss of magnetism due to the crude mediums. In the effort to construct a more lasting instrument the class is now turning to suspended bar magnets, and observing the accuracy of their "points".

A discussion was held on the subject of ushers for the play. It was ^decided that town girls who could get uniforms would act as ushers. Dorothy Piala, program chairman introduced Mr. V. H. Hoppe, who made several suggestions for the club's activities for the year. Among them was the idea of having a committee to post notices of meetings. The members on this committee •are: Harriet Rickerson, main bulletin; June Welch, Viking; vand Rho-da LeCocq, Drama club board. Mary Elizabeth Fowler, who has spent the last two years in New York, gave reviews of the recent Broadway successes. James Butler spoke extemporaneously on the latest outstanding plays. Ethel Page favored the club with a group of piano numbers. o — Tri-C Club Holds Elbonita Meeting Mrs. Leatha's boy, Vernon, is a graduate of Whatcom high school. Bellingham's own little boy is certainly carving his niche in B. S. N. S..'s Hall of———psst, put up your knife' Leatha, here comes Pop Gunn. Leatha may never have peeled' the sun-burned skin off an aligator but he has done his bit for Almie Mamma. He has never shinned up the Milky Way and punched the Big Bear* in the nose, but he is a member of the Board of Control, a four quarter representative. He may not be a Clark Gable . . . you see, Leatha's curls are blonde . . . but he is active in drama, as was shown in last night's performance in Alison's House. He will soon help the groom find the collar button, acting as best man in "The Wedding." Leatha was vice president of the freshman class of 1931. Last year, in defiance of Lucifer himself, he guided the sophomores through Hades. He is also an active member of the Thespian club, arid assistant yell king. Does Leatha like the girls? Yes. In particular?—No. He keeps them all in suspense, the ol' meany. Something else about Leatha, he eats flattery like soup, just slurps it down; so girls, try your line. He'll probably fall for it. Mr. Leatha is an,ambitious hoy: a very ambitious young man for one so young and small. Yes, we have our own Napoleon. When asked what he wants to do when he grows up, he promptly replies, "Take Sam-mie Carver to a dance." Eat lots of grape-nuts, Leatha. Pearson Just Out Tuffy Pearson must be that way Valkyrie Present Homecoming Skit Thursday Evening The Tri C club held a reception at the Elbonita school, Tuesday night, Nov. 8, for the following new members: Ella Brienland; Everett Bunte, Gertrude Christenson, Wesley Cole, Florence Dahlgren, Peggy Eckert, Esther Hill, Helen Johnson, Mildred Leake, Aubrey Lundberg, Wilma Mautz, Grace Moller, Eloise Rankin, Mary Sue Smith, Herman Tegenfeldt, Adeline Van Hee, Louise Willock, and Gwen Wilson. 'Mrs. Barber, Mrs. Carr, Mrs. •Crowe, Mrs. McLaughlin, Mrs. Pat-tison, Miss Stroud and Miss Van der Meer were the room teachers present. At/the last meeting the following officers were elected: Louise Willockt president; Helen Johnson, vice president; .- Wilma Mautz, secretary-treasurer; Grace Moller, Inter-Club Council representative. After a short business, meeting, games and refreshments were enjoyed. Transportation was provided by Aubrey Lundberg. ; -z o—: — WEEKS IS BRIDESMAID That the Valkyne girls will help Curly Gross advertise Homecoming by presenting a skit at the Mt. Baker theatre, Thursday evening, Nov. 17, was decided upon at a meeting of that club held last Tuesday afternoon. This stunt calls for thirty girls in Valkyrie uniform,- and will be given on the stage at 8:45 p. m. The initiation breakfast will be held on Friday morning, November 18, at 6:30 a. m. It was also decided that the girls should wear white chrysanthemums with blue W's on them to the Homecoming game.

S. a treat. You see, early in life Harpo learned that those cylinders that were big at one end and little at the other, -were swell to yell through as well as to wear. So now we, B. S. N. S. students, have a yell king. The interviewer had to interrupt a soda at Baughman's to get these few facts. Here they are: he claps for Roosevelt in the newsreel, dunks his do-nuts, to the first knuckle, loves beef-stew, but has no use for anyone who eats crackers in bed. He likes his pickles dill, his , girls sweet—beg pardon, Tuffy doesn't like the girls. Don't give up, ladies, remember where there's a will there's . . . . always the inheritance tax to pay. What did he do with that olive seed? Tuffy thought it -was a jelly bean, so he ate it. As a diversion, Pearson pumps gas and works in an undertaking parlor. He is a member of the Drama club, and on the Homecoming committee. Harpo has his pillows made of horsefeathers. Yes, he has two of them, fastened together with a safety pin. You see, Tuffy talks in his sleep and one night when the moon was peeping over the mountain, Tuffy was telling the mattress, bedspread and crazy quilt to do "Yo, Normal". In his enthusiasm he swallowed the pillow. Two pillows are too big a bite, so our Tuffy won't have to have the feathers blown from his tonsils again. Anyway, he's a great fellow. .

' Reserves Strong cThe reserve strength of the Loggers was made quite evident by the added strength" of their squad in the last. half .._Every. ..touchdown was scored on a drive down the field featuring the strong interference of the C. P. S. team. The downpour of rain made a passing attack impossible. Viking Backs Injured The three teams-sent in by the Loggers finally: wore, the Vikings s down to a minimum of strength and the final scores came in quick succession. This was partly due to the fact that the Vikings were without the services of a kicker, as all of the regular booters had been taken out of the game because of injuries. Bagley was the first victim of the game, going out, in the first quarter with a badly-injured-leg caused by clipping. In the last half both Beaton and Smith were injured and removed. Beaton, substituting for Bag-ley, played a very good game both defensively and offensively. He threwthe" pass'"toFlowers in the last half for a gain of thirty yards and the Normal's only first down in that half.;;-~-:i"•. gt; :i : Smith's Punting Good ~\ The first half ended with the score 12 to 0 in favor of the Loggers. The score was held down by the superior kicking of Smith, Viking half, over the C. P. S. punter. A number of his kicks went Out of bounds inside the fen yard line. The line-play was inspired by Captain Sulkosky Who seemed to have a way with the boys when it came to pepping up their spirits in the bad places. Sinko played a good game, although he couldn't get away for any running while returning punts •because of the fast charging Logger ends. His defensive play was outstanding.

Coming to Bellingham with four years of football experience, Flint is proving to be one of the mainstays of Carver's line and will give the Ellensburg team plenty of excitement this afternoon. o VIKINGS TO CLASH WITH ELLENSBURG GRID-SQUAD TODAY When the Vikings clash with Ellensburg today at the Windy City (lEliensburg) it will be a rejuvenated line that will appear ta stop the rush. With Partis and Tinner out of the game definitely* Coach Sam Carver is faced with the task of pulling a Houdini. Who will fill their shoes is a problem. As reserve material is about as scarce as ten spots, Flint and Christy will have to fill the end posts until they fall in their tracks. A possibility is the shifting of Berg from center to one of the ends and filling his shoes with Finley, second string center. At any rate Ellensburg will furnish one tough afternoon for the B. S. N. S. line. rvlAilE MGUL^ The backfield will be without the services of Bagley, veteran fullback, today. Down at C. P. S. the other nite, Bagley was the recipient of a well placed shoe and will be out with a dislocated ankle until the Cheney struggle.

With a water soaked ball, and what I mean to say it was soaked, he averaged 50 yards or better against the Loggers. One of his kicks traveled for some 70 yards before it was stopped. Smith has not only the knack of kicking them far but is also the fastest man on the squad when it comes to getting them away. . The biggest laugh of the season came Friday night on the way to Tacoma. Arvid Griffin and yours truly making the trip in one of Henry's specials, stopped for some gas and oil at a service station on the? Tacoma highway. Lo, and behold, who came but but a punch drunk service man swinging for all he was worth, and down the road about 200 feet was Griffin running like a scared rabbit.

De-ficious and appropriate Hallowe'en refreshments were served after which Receiving their first taste of tri-normal competition today, the Vikings will clash with the powerful Ellensburg Wildcats at Ellensburg. Reserve Power Weak With two regulars on the injured list and two more ineligible for trinomial games, the reserve power which is sadly lacking in the Viking machine, will be further weakened by the loss of four valuable players: Bagley, Partis, Turner and Williams. Bagley, one of Carver's outstanding first, string men, sustained a dislocated ankle in the C. P. S. game last week, and will not be in shape for-today's contest. Bagley, a fullback, was a tower of strength on both offense and defense. Partis, Normal's regular starting end, will not see action because of a badly injured leg. Turner and Williams, end and halfback respectively, are definitely out for the remainder of the season, both being ineligible for tri-normal competition. Wildcats Given Edge With the two first string ends out of the game today, the tline is weakened to a great extent. The backfield suffers from the loss of Bag-ley. With inadequate reserve power the outlook for a Viking victory appears to be slim. Nevertheless the Ellensburg team will have to use all the strategy and power it can muster to defeat the local squad. Although a prediction of the outcome of today's clash can hardly be based upon comparative scores, the Wildcats are conceded the edge by virtue of their 14-6 win over Pacific Lutheran. It must be remembered that P. L. C. defeated the Vikings 7-0. Ellensburg is Jinx Smarting under the 30-0 walloping handed to them by the Puget Sound Loggers, the local school has been drilling intensively with the idea of taking their revenge out on Ellensburg. However, the Wildcats have always been a jinx to the Car-verites. The Vikings have been unable to score against the eastern team in. the last four successive years: Moreover, Ellensburg has won every game since 1925. McMinds, Cloughs, Buffaro and Sutphin are the powerhouses of the Wildcat aggregation, but according to Sulkosky, Viking guard, there will be a few fuses blown out. o-^ — MULLEN'S MAKE PLANS FOR BASKETBALL TEAM Was just down taking a peek at some of the intramural hoi shots. By the signs it looks as though there are going to be plenty of good teams this year in the all-school league. Jim Stoddard, Jim Campbell, Bob Thompson, together with Dead-eye Jones, and Coupeoille s other leading citizen, Mickey Clark, make up one swell aggregation and Will be hard to stop in any mans league. By the Way, Coupevilles leading man is none other than THE EDITOR. And how Stoddard -can boot that pigskin... Night after night going out and kicking for an average of 45 yards or more is nothing for Hollis J. When asked why he doesn't turn out for football, he merely says, Im afraid of getting buck fever out there before all those people," TOOK in the tri-Normal track meet at Cheney last year and it rained; took in the C. P. S. game, and did it rain! Well, today at Ellensburg, Til be ready for anything—snow or what have you? MADDENED SAVAGES TO INVADE NORMAL Cheney Molds Team's Nucleus From Many Veterans Residents of Mulliti's Hall held their regular meeting last week, and plans were; made for a basketball team to represent the house in tha intramural games for the winter. Dale , lt;0verffeld was elected team manager, and Jim McNeely, assistant manager. Ideas for Homecoming were discussed. Paul Jackson and Clarence Locke were appointed to see that the n^\tb»t week;: --^J;; ,v%: One week from tomorrow the heralded Cheney Savages invade the Viking's camp in an attempt to to smooth their feelings, which are greatly riled as a result of their forced acceptance of a scpreless tie in their homecoming struggle with Ellensburg. Coach Reese has molded his outfit around a nucleus of fourteen veterans from last year and although their showing has not been notable, it is generally accepted that Reese is fielding a very commendable team. To date Cheney has victories over Lewiston, Idaho, Normal and the U of Idaho frosh, while they have lost to Oregon Normal at Monmouth and to the Washington State freshmen. The Vikings will be somewhat crippled without the services of Sulkosky, stellar guard, ineligible for conference competition, and Bagley, another stocky C. P. S. transfer, who received a mutilated ankle in the fracas with his former teammates at Tacoma last Friday night. Day Big Shot Day and McNew, flashy halves, are considered the big shots in. the Cheney backfield while a couple of ends, Tilson and another McNew brother are supposedly the. meanest boys on the forward wall. The game will be the feature of Bellingham's Homecoming and will probably get started at 2:15.

By Pat Allan. HET.T.O, GRADS! We see that the University of Washington enjoyed (?) their homecoming last week. It was sure "the ducks" for the Husky Alumni at that football game. And in addition to taking the Cougar out in a driving rain, the yaps had to tear him to pieces right there in front of everybody. / can just see Eddie Arntzen scrambling around in the muddy field with a Cougar s tail between his teeth. WELCOME, GRADS! Speaking of rain, let's hope Waldo lake will dry up before the game this afternoon. Some time some football player will fall down out there and get lost in the mud, and we'll never be able to find him. WELCOME, GRADS! It Would be just our luck to lose a guy like Sulkosky. WELCOME, GRADS I Maybe some of the older grads will remember one of the high spots of their school days, Mr. Kibbe speeding gallantly across the muddy campus (it was mud'then) to school on his "bicycle. We will wager that Mr. Kibbe is, if not the oldest, grad—the one who has the most years behind his graduation. Mr. Kibbe's spirit and enthusiasm for the school have been growing. all the time. He has done much to create a unique, interesting and more pleasant atmosphere throughout the school. WELCOME, GRADS! Perhaps some day we struggling students will talk over old times, and meetings, slap each other on the shoulders, yell into each other's ears, " 'Member the year Roosevelt Was elected?" "Yeah—:that was the time Arvie Griff en and Glen Rockey went to Ellensburg. They were just a year too early for repeal, 'member?" WELCOME, GRADS! Always it has been a policy of the school to welcome the old grads. And it isn't the kind of glad-handing that kicks you in the back when you aren't looking. It's a sincere, well-wishing kind of welcome, and many of the Alumni, realizing just what they are missing, leave the old school with lumps in their throats. Next year and the year after next, and the year after that, let the theme of Homecoming be a straight-from- the-heart, "welcome, grads!" WELCOME, GRADS! Which reminds me of one they all talk about. It is a tale of how a yell leader, all enthused, ran across the track to give a yell, and slipped, fell, and bounced in a slimy, black puddle of gooey mud. f CALENDAR J SATURDAY, NOV. 19 f 12 m.—Alumni banquet at the | dorm.

TICKETS FROM ELDON BOND ' Put on your glad rags and pretty frills and get ready for the dance of dances, the Homecoming Hop at the Armory, tomorrow evening from 8:30 to 11:30. Jack Burns and his greater 8 will provide music in all tempos and aim to satisfy all those attending. Lensrud Chairman Johnny Lensrud, general chairman of the dance, has worked for several days on the decorations and pi-o-gram aided by Jim Campbell and Ken Elder. They announce that tickets may be secured from Eldon Bond. Lensrud has selected several students to entertain during intermission. Tenor solos by Lew Lovegren, a piano duet with Virge Griffen and Harry Cramer tickling the keys, and possibly a trio will constitute the main part of the program. Refreshments will be served throughout the dance. Students and graduates alike are urged to attend. Luncheon at Edens Hall All alumni, students and faculty members are invited to the alumni luncheon which will be held Saturday noon at Edens Hall. The price of the lunch is 25 cents. Lew Lovegren and Doris McElmon have arranged the following program: a tap dance by Niles Navarre, a violin selection by Prank Forstrom, a piano solo by Florence Ford, and some vocal numbers by Robert Bee-ken. Several members of the faculty will give short talks. Mr.. Rad-cliffe, president of the Alumni asos-ciation, will preside over the luncheon. 932 VIKING GRID SQUAD Vikings-Savages Are Ready BEST DRESSED HOUSES TO BE PICKED SUNDAY Organized houses have been donning their Sunday frocks for Homecoming. Crepe paper and posies have been called out to do their bit to frill up the parlors. So many novel decorative ideas are used this year, that it will be hard for the committee to judge the winning house. The committee that awards the two prizes was chosen from non-partial faculty members and students. It consists of the following: Dr. E. A. Bond, L. A. Kibbe, Dorothy Fiala, Kenneth Elder and Jim Stoddard. o REG HOUR WILL BE CELEBRATED TONITE Rec hour is to be held after the bonfire this evening. It will be a single one-hour affair due to the fact that the Homecoming dance comes tomorrow evening^ This was decided at the regular meeting of ;the Board of Control last Monday. The Klipsun officers agreed to the use of one of the football cuts in this issue of the Viking as the means of settling a previous discussion of the matter. The matter of reducing the salary of the business manager of the Viking was discussed but no action was taken. A suggestion as to charging faculty members for subscription t* the Viking was made. :;:•; lt;:..-.•'.• ^,';:' Crawford Is To Appear Tuesday As a Monologist Next Tuesday in assembly Miss Dorothy Crawford, nationally known monologist, will give a series of character sketches. She is an artist of recognized ability and has scored repeated triumphs on Tier several national tours. She has a very interesting and select repertoire which is made doubly effective by her use of appropriate costumes. This is not Miss Crawford's initial appearance at the Normal. She gave a very attractive assembly program in the latter part of last winter quarter. Taken from the writeup in the Viking of Miss Crawford's performance is the following paragraph: "Proving to be one of the most entertaining assemblies this year, Miss Dorothy Crawford, of San Francisco, scored a decided hit with her program of varied monologues." NORMAL TO BATTLE CHENEY TOMORROW 2:15 Is the Time Set for Kick-off; Savages Are Favorites Clashing with the high powered, rugged Cheney Savages tomorrow at 2:15 on Waldo field, a n under-rated, scrappy Viking squad will attempt to stem the greatly vaunted Savage attack, in the big annual Homecoming game. Vikings No Setup No matter how the Vikings have fared in previous games, when the traditional Homecoming contest appears, Coach Sam Carver presents a fighting team that always plays inspired football. This was concretely proved last year, in this manner: Cheney' defeated Bellingham, 40-0; Ellensburg won from Cheney and in (Continued on Page Six) Clinton Gross Man Handles Annual CURLY CONFIDES THAT HE'S A GAMBLER Disease Called Homecoming Splurge Clinton W. lt; Gross, commonly hailed as "Curly" because of a number of becoming ringlets about his manly brow, was born in Salem, Oregon, a great many years ago. Curly has charge of the Homecoming splurge, which is. a college disease coming back annually and causing great disturbances in any local college. Prom all rumors, Curly is making this year's attack a big one. Getting far ahead of any possible questions, Curly said confidentially, "I'm a great gam-to l.e r, too —" H e r u b b e d a delic-iously bewhiskered chin and p a c ed b a c k a n d forth like a caged lion. A f t e r /stealthily l o o k i n g to t h e right and to the left, he went on: "I won 30 cents on the election." I thought sadly of the little tin elephants which had netted 50-cent losses to their owners and applauded his excellent foresight. '-~ 'y.--i. '},••/•:. " t a m interested in all types of sports," he said, regaining the dignity which was his, originally. : " i enjoy indoor sports the most, however." .(Recalling the way Curly pounded an innocent onlooker who reposed in front of him at a recent football game—students are advised to keep their distance at all indoor games!) "And when" you get big—" ((interviewer privileged to pop first question.) , "I shall be a lawyer!" he said with finality. "I expect to teach a few years and save enough to finish a law course. I am very interested, in law." There seemed to be no plausible comeback so we asked the one about "What type of work has victim done?" (Page 6—"How to Interview in Six Easy Lessons.") "For the past" four summers I have worked for the government in Alaska." And although prodded mercilessly— that remained his only statement about his work. gt; In concluding, he confided that he especially disliked -liver (that is, all save his own), and that women with a nonchalant gesture) were just O. K., nothing more! ; At this cruciaV moment, Curly noticed three or four letters and fully t h a t many stripes at the other end of the hall--and with a couple of jrells^-4foe interview was oveiv v Radio Pep Rally Over KVOS Will Welcome Grads A plea for Homecoming attendance will be sent out over the air tonight at 9:30 o'clock. Ten minutes of the usual time allotted for broadcasting will be devoted to short talks by Jimmy Stoddard, Glen Rockey and Curly Gross. It is hoped that these pep talks will reach many of the old "grads," as well as the townspeople, and bring them trooping to the game tomorrow. Listen in Tonight The regular broadcast, planned by Mr.' V. H. Hoppe, consists of several short scenes from Shakespeare's immortal drama, "The Merchant of Venice." The first act to be presented is the courtroom scene, and parts will be taken as follows: Shy-lock, Mr. Hoppe; Portia, Louise Lawrence; Antonio, Preston Wright; the Duke, Paul Jackson; Bassanio, James Butler; Nerissa, Edith Swarth. Minor parts will be carried by Ray Wimer, Sterling McPhail and Clarence Locke. SMITH SERIOUSLY ILL Harold B. Smith, head of the department of Music, who has been ill for three weeks, is reported to be in a very serious condition at St. Joseph hospital. He has been stricken with slow pneumonia. Mr. Smith will not be back in the Music department this quarter. His work is being taken over by John Bushell from the University of Washington. CAPTAIN RAY SULKOSKY, former C; P.

Y O U C A N T G E T W E T at the football game tomorrow or the dance that evening; there's plenty of r -*—i. id'Td^Eii) By BOB THOMPSON A | i •• i Mi '•• •• M •• •• WIT" • • "I TIT n" "Of all sad words of tongue or pen The saddest are these: I t might have been." Those three short lines under a two-cent stamp, brought tears to a grown man's eyes. Had they been less true they would have been less cruel. Before his eyes passed visions of what might,have been had he been less the short-sighted, self ishly righteous fool. Lost-Trail lost—except the sudden realization of two lives made barren of happiness through his masculine stupidity, for love makes a mockery of vanity and pride. He knew that now—too late. He would not see, as her clearer vision saw, that those saddest of words need not have been—yet now they were, for the hand that wrote them also stilled the heart that knew the truth of them. Afraid to live by the heart—the one, incomplete, dependent heart— he lives on alone. And she—well—how can one feel a thrill in a poem that has lost its meaning? Remembering what was lost to her she found insufferable what remained. To know the promise of life but to be cheated of its fulfillment, to blossom but not to bear fruit, to reach the glorious Spring but never to know the richness of Autumn harvest—that is futility. It might have been t h a t these two-lives, so abundant in promise, could be living paean to' the God of love and mercy. Yes, it might have been—but they were over-civilized. The natural open beauty of life they smothered in a straight-jacket of creeds and artificiality. And so she wrote simply, "It might have been." roof to cover you'. And cheering never hurt anyone. But the lack of it has hurt many a fine football team. A N D IN CLOSING: we welcome you, grads, and don't forget that the 1932 students at Bellingham Normal are just the same as you were in your class of ' 2 5 , or ' 2 0 , or ' 1 5 , so don't be bashful. E D I T O R I A L S H A V E N O place in a paper during such times as Homecoming. BONFIRE TONIGHT (Continued from Page One) After this little demonstration the ranks will be dismissed and left to find their way back up the hill as best they may. Most of the old grads will probably get lost on t he return trip and not locate themselves till they're half way up the Dorm fire escape. And, folks, be- .ware of the wolves. Wolves never did get very close to bonfires, and that's the big attraction here at 9:00 p. m., or thereabouts. Dope Spilled - There promises to be enough football dope spilled at the fire to fill several of the well known buckets. Coaches Carver and Reese will, in turn, view their teams' prospects from their individual, pessimistic outlooks. The Viking and Savage captains, in behalf of their squads probably will talk about the -weather. President C. H. Fisher will speak shortly. The yell kings will infuse pep into the crowd. But t ry to be open-minded as to the result of tomorrow's contest until you've listened to the mathematically and psychologically scientific reasoning of Professor Kibbe and Dr. Bond. They and they alone, are authorized, here at Bellingham Normal, to prophesy the results of anything. .And when the tired flames begin t o lose their vigor, the W club promises to have the big gyni ready t o r a real Rec Hour hop, with all alumni'admitted. Yes! You bet you! It'll be a hot time at the old school tonight! VIKING-SAVAGE GAME TOMORROW (Continued from Page One) the Homecoming game, the Vikings held the powerful Wildcats to a lone touchdown. Thus, when the stouthearted local squad tangles with Cheney today, they will endeavor to keep the highly touted, superior Savages from carrying the Viking scalp back Home. Cheney Powerful The Cheney outfit was definitely proved superior to the Ellensburg Wildcats a few weeks ago when they battled Ellensburg to a scoreless tie. However, the final score was no indication of the Savages' power. Although Ellensburg did gain as much yardage from scrimmage as did Cheney in the first two periods, t he second half found the Savage attack functioning perfectly and rolling up four times as much yardage as their opponents. This is quite indicative of the Cheney power, when one takes into consideration t h e 26-0 walloping that Ellensburg handed to Bellingham last- week. The only threat of injuries in t he Viking camp are those of Partis, end; Bagley, fullback, and Berg, center. However, all three will probably see action tomorrow. Cheney Stars Numerous I n the Cheney lineup, there are a galaxy of stars. Day, shifty right halfback who is a punter, blocker and ball-toter de luxe, will start. E. McNew, hard driving left half, is the passer, while Peterson, a dashing, . elusive individual, rounds out an added punch that makes the Savage backfield a dangerous combination. In the line .nearly all t h e Cheney men are outstanding, with reserve power almost as capable as the first string. If the powerful Savage forwards can hold and allow interference to shake Peterson and Day loose, the Viking secondaries will be in line for a lot of trouble. Attack Varied Air activity, deception and speed, passes into every zone of play, wide end sweeps, smashing line drives and darts off tackle are a few of the things that the Eastern team is capable of doing. A double-barreled passing attack has been functioning with considerable meaning in the games Cheney has played this year. E. McNew is the passer "who has been ripping the ozone with his fancy overhead game, all of which bodes ill for the Vikings.

First on the program arranged by Vernon Leatha was the clarinet and piano act of Clarence Thue and Wayne'Priem. Johnnie Lensrud sang several popular numbers, accompanied on the piano by Virgil Griffen. Jim Campbell tap-danced and Ted Cramer played the xylophone. A quartette made up or Davy Jones, Johnnie Lensrud, Bill Fisher and Pat Allen, sang "Mandy Lee," "In the Evening by the Moonlight" and "Goodbye Blues." Dick Albert executed a sword dance, while Bill and Pat Allen played their bagpipes. The football team was then introduced by Coach Carver and the yell leaders led some rousing cheers in their behalf. Finally the newly-organized pep band played the loyalty songs under the 'direction of Ransford Wise. o— Girls Club Initiates Members at Edens Hall on Wednesday The initiation of new members into the Alkisiah club was held on Wednesday evening, November 9, in the club room of Edens Hall. Miss Short, of the physical education department adn the new adviser, was initiated with the following girls: Florence Hany, Helen Klumb, Emma B u e h l e r , Moana Monkman, Wenonah Pack, Lottie Stevenson, Evelyn Lingg, Dorothy Kelly, Evelyn Clark, Janet Mulford, Mabelle Jeffcott, Hazel Mayo, Dolly Hinman, Louise Johnson, Margit Ot-tem, Helen Neely, Grace Emmans, Beth Jones, Louise Contento, Kath-erine Peterson and Nona Peterson. Short Meeting Held Following the initiation J u l ia Christenson, president, w e l c o m ed new members to the club. . Miss Moffat, past adviser of Alkisiah, gave the history of the club, and Miss Short expressed her appreciation at being able to work with the girls. It was decided that meetings should be held on the second and fourth Wednesdays of the month. They are to alternate between social and business meetings. Election was held to fill vacancies in the offices of vice president and reporter. Helen Klumb and Dorothy Kelly were chosen for the respective offices. Graduates of Washington State Normal, Bellingham, make their mark in the educational world—evidence that its instructors create a permanent spirit for the teaching profession. A search of the records of various ones of the largest colleges reveals numerous doctor's degrees awarded to Normal alumni in 1931 and 1932, and many others now working for these degrees. Colleges Give Degrees At Columbia University last year Doctor of Philosophy degrees were awarded to Henry Patey and to Mar ius Hansome, '14. Mr. Hansome is now a lecturer in sociology at Columbia, and in 1931 published his book "World Workers' Educational Movements." Don Marquis, son of Dean Marquis, received a similar degree at Yale in June, and he now holds the International Fellowship there. Jean Marquis,-his sister, after taking her bachelor and master degrees at Stanford, is studying for a doctor's ranking at the University of Minnesota. Austin Bond, on leave of absence from Alfred university, New York, where he is associate professor in biology, is completing work for his master's degree at Columbia this year. Neil'Miller, son of Dr. Irving Miller of Normal's education department, was recently asked to become research assistant in the Human Relations department at Yale. Robert Fisher, '28,' son of President Fisher, is recommended by the Stanford University for the 1932 Smoke Away Continued from Page four) Rhodes scholarship. At the same school, Carol Haeske, '22, and Herbert Heath, '12, are earning degrees of Master of English and Mathematics respectively. Prof. Heath is associate in Mathematics at San Jose State Teachers college, and associate professor of education at Stanford. .' • Other Fields Invaded Men students who have departed slightly from the teaching field are Dick Hanley, head coach at Northwestern University, once a member of Normal's football team along with Coach Sam Carver; and George Allez, '27, awarded a scholarship and master's degree by Columbia, and now head librarion at Stephens Point State Normal, Wisconsin. Employed at Ashland Normal, Oregon, are Myrtle Funkhouser, '18, head librarian, and Angus Bowmer, '26, head of the Department of Speech. Records of Women Women graduates who have traveled far from Bellingham are: Alice Kibbe, '05, M. A., M. S., Ph. D., head of the Department of Biology, Carthage college, HI.; Ruth McMeen,- '20, professor of psychology at Wil-lamantic State Normal, Conn.; Beatrice Thomas, '25, instructor in physical education for women, University of Virginia; Regina Frank, '20, professor of physical education at Muncie, Ind.; and Mrs. Daisy Howard, '25, county commissioner of schools, Flint, Michigan. were played over. That was when Liz Gable played the piano at every affair, and Jerry McKee read "Bath Night". And the Viking eleven took Cheney in 6 to 0. Such men as Stickney, Wher, Edmundson, Anderson, Armstrong, Wanamaker, Thorsen, and. others helped to chalk 'up this score. The baseball team found "Zeke" McClurken, Granny Thorlakson and "Bush" Smith holding important positions. HOMES ARE VISITED Those from Edens Hall who spent the week-end away from school were: Doris Griffith, Anne Smith, Catherine Hurby, Helen Northen Margaret David, Dolly Anderson, Viola Riendeau, Margaret Healy, Betty Jock, and Bernice McElhaney; Seattle; Helen Jecklin, Everett; Louise Contento, Arlington; Connie Ingerson, Anacortes; Helen Porter, Rosario; Lucy Van Vechten, Taco-ma; Jane O'Neil, Mount Vernon; Bernice Osgood, Lynden.

The recreational program consisted of piano solos by Mrs. Melvin Mollan, a reading by Audrey Gwinnett, and violin numbers by oJhn Monroe, all of whom were former Normalites. The Scribes club actually made some money on their publication "The Red Arrow" and gave a nice party for the club and friends in the Viking room at Baughmans. Dorothy Strong was one of the hostesses.

BERG, SINKO PLAY STAR GAME ' • • • " " " T\M JF |rj SING forty grid-ders a n d f o ur breaks to good a d v a n t a g e , the Ellensburg Wildcats drubbed Bel-lingham Normal to the tune of 26-0 in the Armistice d a y t i lt played at Ellensburg. Going into the fray on the short end of the odds, the Vikings battled the highly touted Wildcats, to a standstill for the major part of the first quarter; but with about four minutes to go Ellensburg recovered Beaton's fumble, only to lose the ball on downs deep in Viking territory. Smith's kick from behind his own goal line was taken by Ellensburg and a succession of two first downs pushed over for their • initial touchdown. The try for point failed. Punting Duel After the rest Bellingham stiffened and, through a succession of punts, held the Wildcats at bay during the second quarter. At half time the score stood 6-0 in Ellensburg's favor. During the interval someone slipped Nickolson a four-leaf clover in the form of three very decided breaks; coupling two fumbles with a completed pass good for twenty-five yards, Ellensburg went over for a touchdown; completed the place-kick for a thirteen-point lead, and went right to work and scored another touchdown to make the score 19-0 at the end of the third quarter. Vikings Threaten Starting the final quarter with the ball in Ellensburg's possession on the Vikings' twelve-yard line, the Wildcats, through a succession of line plunges, pushed the pigskin oyer Vor the final touchdown and try for .ipoint, making the score 26-0. It was here that Bellingham came to life and, with Walt Sinko sparking the aggregation, pushed steadily down the field to within four yards of a touchdown, only to be stopped by the final gun. Reserves Too Plentiful Without a doubt the breaks in Ellensburg's favor gave the East Siders a decided advantage; this, together with their wealth of reserve material, was just too much for the Vikings to hurdle. As for individual performances, every man on the Ellensburg squad played good ball; while Berg, Pinley, Comfort and Sulkosky, on the line for the Vikings, were a tower of strength. In the backfield, Smith's kicking, while not impressive, was steady, and kept the Wildcats at bay. Sinko, Beaton and Flowers did a capable job of stopping Ellensburg's thrusts. o— RECORDS SHOW CHENEY LEADS vwvwwvvwyvwvuvwwwwwwwwvwvvvw^^ Our Athletic World ^frWWWlMA^^^W^WWWWAW^AM^WWWV^W By BILL FISHER WELCOME GRADS! We're glad to see you. We like it here and we hope you do. And we say especially "Greetings" to all former athletes, from this column. What does the old school and the young faculty look like after your sojourn? Plenty has been planned to make it lively around this joint over the week-end and we want you to join us in the fun. Be seein' you at the game! Last Monday night the Normal's basketball "hot shots" Were put through their opening paces. The material isn't bad but no coach could say that Sandy Claus came early. However, with consistent practice and the likely addition of some new men, the Vikings should put a nice squad on the maple court this year. And come to think of it, our basketball season, what with our three school teams and an intra-mural league, AS usually pretty successful. I suppose you all read of the misfortune that befell a former student of ours, Carl Durr, when he Was killed when his glider crashed^ at a Seattle airport last week. We knew Carl and we liked him. In his way, he was a real sportsman and he was devoted to his own hobby—gliding. He built his glider right here and he learned to fly it in Bellingham. Carl was one of those boys who was not particularly distinctive in appearance but as we learned to know him and got a n insight into his fine character and great ability, we said toourselves, "There's a fellow who will go places."—and then it happened! . . . We are saddened by a question that will never be answered: "Why do these gifted boys of rare talent, have to be taken away from us in the prime of youth before we can reap the harvest of their efforts in behalf of human progress?" We are consoled by the thought that just by knowing Durr our lives have been made better and as. Professor Kibbe, he who is interested in every student, put it, "It should inspire us all with a new vigor and make each one feel—'I do matter in this world!'" CHENEY MENTOR "RED" REESE -o — TEAMS REVIEWED Continued from Page four) And it looks like the Trojan Horde from Southern Cal again! Pittsburgh, regardless of its recent tie at the hands of the Nebraska Cornhuskers, is figured by critics as the big shot in the East. Michigan has re-climbed the heights and looks like a sure winner in the Western Conference. Down in the old South, Auburn is the only major eleven to survive in the win column. In the Southwest, Texas Christian is doped to cop the conference title and Nebraska holds the sweet spot in the Big Six. But we'll just bet our last cookie that those same nasty ol' Southern Californians wiU make 'em aU look funny before the season is over.. Mmm! Mmm! If some Northern team up here could only take those cocky Southerners for a ride—would my heart accelerate! As a matter of fact, folks, it's getting kinda tiresome with the Trojans hogging the gravy year after year. Looking back into the records of the past Cheney-Viking games we find the Savages holding a decisive edge in games won by taking home the bacon five times, while the lordly Vikings tamed the Savages twice. The Savages also hold an edge on points scored'chalking up i35 points to 39 for the Vikings. Since 1928 the Vikings have failed to cross the white stripe that is heaven to all ball toters; but they have kept up a strong defense in protecting their goal line. Word comes to us from across the state that they intend to whitewash the Vikings -again tomorrow but apparently the only things we can be sure of this year are death, taxes, and rain. The Vikings' two victories came in 1923, when they were Tri-Normal champs, 27 to 13; and in 1926, 9 to 3. They were on the short end of it in 1925, 3 to 47; 1928, 0 to 6; 1929, 0 to 7; 1930, 0 to 9; 1931, 0 to 40. • • . ' .———o—: '• Y. W. C. A. GIVES TEA Tea was served to members of the Y, W. C. A. at Miss Belle Sperry's home, 607 Garden street, Friday afternoon from 3 o'clock to 5 o'clock. The gathering was a "get-together" courtesy tendered to new members. Just one more act and the curtain will fall at the close of the "Viking Football Drama' for 1932. From the victory point of view, the season could not be called a success. In our opening game, we lost a tough one to Pacific Lutheran College, 7-0. Then the Catholic boys came up the line from St. Martin's and when the smoke of that terrific battle had cleared away, neither team could claim a point. That fracas was productive of the most dramatic scene of the season: The boys from Lacey had the pill on the one-yard line with four downs to go and a touch- Following these years of prosperity the Viking stock hit its depression. Although in the past five years this school has seen many such stars as "Posey" Flowers, Ing Iverson, Roy Abbot and last but not least, Pop Gunn, now assistant coach, these men, while superior to some of the former, have been unable to steer the- Vikings into the pennant winning lanes of 1923-4-5-6. Thorsen's Reign In the years of the Abbots, Gunns and Iversons, one of Bellingham's most prominent athletes came into view, and in" none other than the role of waterboy. "Occie" Thorsen, a few years ago carrying water at the home football games, became overnight one of the best all-around athletes the local school has turned out. Thorsen was not only a superb basketball player but was a star of the first magnitude in baseball, football and golf. Well, grads, the space is getting shor.t and out there today fighting their hearts out will be none other than eleven Vikings headed by the best guard to grace the Blue and White in many a season.

OLD MAN SEHOME must have smiled with satisfaction as he looked down upon the well-managed, good-time-every-minute affair presented to us by the various committees. From the well-executed serpentine and bonfire through the alumni banquet to the'much-praised dance the next evening, there Was .not a single hitch, with the entire student body, grads, and favorable weather lending to the success of the annual affair. • MICKEY CLARK and his frosh dass committee did their big bit in the Homecoming bonfire and wish to extend their thanks and appreciation to all the merchants downtown and the Standard Oil Company for their complete co-operation in furnishing boxes, papers, and oil ;;for the Savage funeral pyre. KENNETH ELDER probably contributed more to the success of the celebration than anyone else on the various committees, but his efforts were more taken for granted than any other job. Thank you, Ken, for many jobs well done. Lensrud's work on the dance was par excellence. Q T H E ^ committees to0 numerous to mention also did their work to the peak of perfection. But the big bouquet goes to Curly Gross* the general chairman, for his splendid work-in directing and aiding his co-workers. • ' • " • ' _ ! _ . o—: — :—-—- A RTHILE ? / SSISTS NORMALITES ' A VOTE OF THANKS goes out from the Normal school to Mr. Art Hile, Mount Baker theatre manager, for his splendid co-operation in presenting jthe Homecoming rally on his, stage last Thursday evening. Everything in his power was done to allow the student entertainment to progress smoothly and with ease to the participants. i j l l m H M JTT nil ."' " — - • " - " •— •- - Not an inconceivable number of hours ago the grapevine telegraph brought to my ear whisperings that the writer has beert designated The Cigar Store Indian, or Old Wooden-Face, or the Mutt With the Immovable Mug, or the: Man in the. Iron Mask, or some other absurdly descriptive misnomer. Lend me your auditory appendages, fellow gladiators, while I predict great wailing and gnashing of teeth when I ,catch up with the unprincipled panhandler that started those malicious, base, unwarranted— albeit flattering—rumors. I plead the opportunity of self-defense, and must necessarily make some limited use of the perpendicular pronoun. Your pardon. My face brings" to me great pain when I stick pins in it—therefore it is not of iron. It has not rusted from occasional applications of water; it has never-r-well, hardly ever—been attracted to a lodestone; it can be penetrated by a vigorous axe—therefore it is not of iron. It is not of wood because no one has ever complained of slivers. ((Perhaps no one has ever had the opportunity, but the fact remains that no one has complained.) Were it of wood I could put in some hinges ,and swinging joints to simulate a grin. But it is of such stuff that it hurts when I smile, stretches the lips, and cracks the skin. I know, because I did laugh once. Was it last week? or a week ago some Tuesday? . Anyway my friends were terribly shocked, and I. haven't yet recovered from the strain and the pain of looking happy. So to preserve the unseamed face of youth I dare not outwardly express my hilarity. And am I jubilant! My goo'ness—my goo'ness, I should say so—positively maniacal. If, in truth, "to cherish enthusiasms is to delude the mind," I guess I'm just one of God's little hallucinated idiots, but I keep the scars in a little cedar chest.at home because, for better or for worse, through sickness and through health, this is the pan I'm wedded to (without benefit of divorce) and must treat it gently. It serves the prime purposes any. face does—keeps my ears apart, forms the initial receptacle for turkey with cranberry sauce, and keeps my backbone from unravelling. What more can man ask? As Atkinson said to the monkey, "You're funny and you're homely as sin—but you're mine and I love you!" But after all—it takes a pretty big dog to weigh a ton and I am not the guy in the iron mask. Kiss me, my fool, for it's all a sham. Ina Kirkman Grecian in spirit and setting is the Festival of Thanksgiving which is given yearly by the training school at its pre-Thanksgiving assembly. This symbolic presentation of the harvest time and the spirit of doing for others is as much a well-loved tradition to the children as the annual Homecoming is to the Normal students, and suggestions to substitute other observances .•meet with little favor. The pageant was staged at 11 o'clock this morning in the auditorium with teachers and parents as invited guests. SCREEN i£ Preston A. Wright (Credit for the form of the festival is givert to the Francis Parker school, University of Chicago. In past years the speeches have been rewritten by the pupils of the training school, but this season a verbatim reproduction was given. So effective is the pageant that graduates of Normal who have witnessed it here are starting it in other schools of the state. Actual gifts of money and food were brought to school by the children and. at the close of the festival were given to the Red Cross milk fund and to the Bellingham Family Welfare Association. Committees from the various grades met with Miss Rich earlier in the month to arrange details, and the rehearsals were sectional, no full performance with •• the Normal orchestra being necessary. ROOSEVELT TUMBLERS ALLY FOR VIKINGS T H E FOUR 5 T U D E N T S from Roosevelt high school in Seattle who performed between halves at the Homecoming game last week-end deserve a great big hand and a vote of thanks."* Their antics kept the crowd interested, amused, and entertained, and provided a great deal toward the success of the game, from the spectators' standpoint. Their efforts were highly appreciated. o : An oboe is an ill wind that nobody blows good. This harvest festival is the only formal program given by the training school during the school year. Due to its serious spirit, and to the fact that even those children not on the stage are a part of the celebration, printed programs contained the request that the guests should not applaud. The stage was hung with black, and gold panels were a background for the throne of the goddess of the festival. A Grecian bench was seen at one side, balanced by clumps of green. At either corner of the stage were large terra cotta urns made by the sixth grade. Much Credit Due Committee Heads forTheir Labor In,regard to the Homecoming program and the committees in charge of various phases of the event, Curly Gross, general chairman, wishes to take this opportunity to "express his appreciation for the fine work done by his several committees." "Johnny Lensrud, Ken Elder, Jim Campbell and Eldon Bond deserve a world of credit for their work in the arrangement of the bonfire, luncheon, dance, decorations and programs.

The latest victim is our'new substitute music teacher, Mr. Don Bushell, of the class of 1931 of the University of Washington. Now we discovered that Mr. Bushell is indeed a very versatile person. Of course music, comes first in his long line of interests and in this he is extremely well-versed. Besides being able to play the piano and sing "passably" he is an accomplished cello player, as he will demonstrate in an assembly of the very near future. Although on graduation he received a degree from the school of education, Mr. Bushell has been doing graduate work in the music department since that time. He is a member of national honorary mus- Students Will Go To I. R. C.

Johnson Relates Vacation Sojourn "We left Bellingham, Saturday, Aug. 20, on our cross-country tour," said Miss Florence Johnson, Normal Hygiene .teacher, when we asked her about her vacation. . "By 'we', I mean Miss Sadie Fitzgerald/ training school teacher, and I. This was my first auto tour and I enjoyed it very .much. "The first, part of pur trip extended into Utah, Wyoming and the Inland Empire.. We visited Yellowstone National Park and the Tieton mountains, and it was in these mountains that we saw the most majestic scenery of our trip. "The usual route from these states to the Atlantic coast is through comparatively familiar country, so we diverged from the prescribed highway and went into the Southern states. Kentucky is like one vast park, with its beautiful estates. Virginia was the most beautiful state that we visited. Its charming atmosphere of the real old South-is irresistible. In Lexington we visited Washington and Lee University, which is famous for its traditional 'Colonial Ball. "A peculiar thing that we noticed in the South Was that all universities and colleges are for men, while teachers' colleges are for women. Another strange thing was that girls are not allowed to go down town without a hat, since that would mark them as definitely lower class. "From Virginia, we went northward to Atlantic City, where we did all the usual things. Miss Fitzgerald's home is near Camden, New Jersey, so she left me there, and I returned home by train."

Cheney Savages most of the way, only to lose the game because.^ of a blocked, place kick. In the opening minute of play, the boys in red caught the blue and white-clad gridsters with a series of unsuspected plays, culminating in a beautiful and perfectly-executed pass thrown by Peterson to Tilson who had scampered down to the •five-yard line, completely clear of Bellingham's secondary defense. After this shocking score and a nice place kick for the try-for-point, the large Homecoming crowd in the grandstand became suddenly depressed- by the thought—"It's going to be a bad day." . . . But,it wasn't! Vikings Aronsed The Vikings got sore and, spurred oh by the shouts of encouragement from the stands and the never- failing fight and enthusiasm of Captain Sulkosky, they were fired with real spirit and played dashing, heads-up football the rest of the game. The second quarter saw a poor quick-kick by Cheney's Peterson, which put theball in Bellingham's possession oh the 30-yard stripe. On the next play, and the prettiest of the game, Sinko caught the pass from center and made a bee-line for the right end. Two maroon-shirt-ed warriors came into the line of interference but Beaton smacked into the first one and Bagley put forth one supreme effort and by a beautiful block, paved the pathway to the goal line which was finally reached after Sinko had zig-zagged through a broken field. Play immediately after the touchdown moved into Cheney territory, and remained there during a large - part of the first two periods. Bel-viingham tried a long pass toward the closing minutes of the first half and, although it was incomplete, the umpire ruled that Day, right half, had interfered with the receiver, giving the Vikings the pigskin on the ten-yard stripe. Just as the crowd began yelling "We want a touchdown!" the gun ended the Blue's chance to win the ball game:' - Second Half Panting Duel The second half was fought on When Walt Sinko raced twenty-five yards for the Vikings' only score Saturday the Pollack from Raymond made history. In four battles,-1928 to 1931 inclusive; the Vikings have been unable to cross the Cheney goal line so'" this homecoming battle will be long remembered in tthe Sinko household Today, Sinko has one ambition, just to be here next year when the Ellensburg Wildcats come to town, and give the newspapers something to write about. In the last six starts against the Wildcats ttieWikings havecome out on the short end of the score, but Siiiko, is determined to puta blemish on EUensburg's record. Saturday's game only goes to prove that the Vikings are not so crummy as a football team after all.

Taking a team that had lost its first four starts, Saturday's exhibition was one that will be remembered for quite a spell, and here's a personal tribute to the squad: "There's been plenty of good teams that have worn the Blue and White, but you will have to go back a long tgime to find a team with as much fight and courage as the Vikings showed us Saturday, and that's saying plenty." With the final curtain rung down on the football schedule, all hands are turning to the hoop sport. In another section of todays paper you will find the intramural hoop schedule. Jt wouldn't be a bad idea Jo save this schedule for future reference. In my two years at Normal! m positive that no other branch of the .intramural program has kept the interest of the students, both boys and girls, as Well as the basketball program. The prospects for a successful season are nil. With only two veterans back from last year's squad, Coach Carver lies awake nights trying to devise ways and means of keeping the Vikings in the running. So far' the new material hasn't as yet come up to J. V. standards but with the starting of winter quarter early in January the Viking mentors are hoping for a change of luck. The report is going around that Clint McBeath, a star performer from the '31 squad, will hop into harness the first of the year. McBeath, together with Rork and McNeil, will lighten the weight considerably and if only someone could induce the curriculum.committee to offer a few more courses it Wouldn't be any trick at all to convince Occie Thorsen that school is a pretty good place after all. ._3t»jauvj ROCKETS #EAWC TWENTY CANDIDATES SEEK TEAM BERTHS Two Veterans, Rork and McNeil, to be Team Nucleus. If looks aren't deceiving you fans should have stepped out on the football field Saturday. It. looked nice, but OH my, the muck and mud was only four inches deep underneath the sawdust. A Homecoming game billed, advertised and all that goes with it without a Cheney team. That was the possibility up until about 12:30 Saturday. At thai hour Coach Carver hadnt heard hide nor hair of the Savages. No wonder the worried look on his countenance. wmMim even terms and was largely productive of a punting duel between Peterson, Cheney's full, and Smith and Beaton who were doing some nice booting for Bellingham. The boys ;in the flaming shirts made two attempts to score in the last period but both fell materially short of their goal. Their first onslaught was stopped when Peterson was forced to kick into the end zone, and then Beaton ended "their second effort by intercepting a long pass. Toward the end of the game, after a punting exchange, Sinko, playing safety, scooped up.a quick kick and dashed about thirty yards through 'a scattered defense. Followed a nice pass. Smith to Sinko, that carried the ball well into enemy territory; but Cheney Wok the pill on downs as the game ended. Vikings Show Up Well ' Finley, playing a whole game for the first time in his football career, threw every pass from center With accuracy and played a bang-up game on defense; along with the never-tiring Sulkosky and the hard-c h a r g ^ (PUnt,, lie looked outstanding in the line. Bagley did some nifty blocking and his share of gaining •^0p0''^aiar, before h lt;^re-hurt his anklel Smko Went great guns, With his hips shifting as smoothly life/ever. But -.'-tlite'-'tti!^the short i t w o r k o n r ^ d e f e n « , andhard The work of Pinley, Sulkosky and Flint on the line was outstanding, while Beaton, Bagley and Sinko played a whale of a game in the backfield, one that will remain a long time in the minds of the homecoming grads. - Football season ending today, attention will be turned to the coming basketball squad. The first' official turnout was held on Monday night, with twenty enthused performers answering the call. Two Vets Back Coach Sam Carver will build his team around two veterans, Jim Rork who was center and guard for three years and A! McNeil, who' played guard last year. Clint McBeath, spark plug of last year's team, may come back to school for the winter quarter. His services will'add' great strength to the 1933 quintet. The Vikings will enter . but one team in the City .league this year. In the past two teams have been entered, but the class A league being dropped this year causes the super varsity to discontinue; Pop Gunn's Junior varsity will enter the city league again. Pop's team won the city championship in the class B league last.season and hopes to keep his team on the top again. - " * • • • . • ' .• Many Positions Open Many positions are open due to graduation and men dropping out of school.
