XXXI—NO. 20 WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Friday, February 27, 1933 • • H OCCUPYING LIMELIGHT TEACH AND BE HAPPY BLUNDERING MESSAGES —-By Bob Walters Gorell, Lecturer to Give Program Literature and Modern Life to be Topic Discussed. A new one for THE PARTICULAR is the pronunciation of Jehol, that Chinese province and city that breaks the front page these days. The English tongue cannot correctly articulate it, but the closest is "Re-ho". W.S.N.S. Education in Washington is certainly occupying a lion's share of the limelight at Olympia. After they did us a favor by making "Collitch" men and women out of Normalites they came through with the Barefoot School Boy law that really reaches our hearts through the vital purse strings. This law makes the State pay 50 per cent of the 'common school costs, thus enabling the district taxes to come in more freely... But the district taxation has been checked by non-payment of property owners, particularly in districts depending on timber property. However, with a new benefactor it means more money for the hiring of: teachers throughout the state. First, though, the legislators must find a means of providing said 50 percent, and that is something'. :.U-:....'..;. gt;,__—,-W.S.N.S. - Right now the Normal graduate is vitally interested in the pay-off and it is ho more than right. There are those who profess to teach or argue that we should teach for the love of teaching. But we have to live. We can do far better work if we are ^ minus the worries of finances. It is'no disgrace for a teacher to consider the money part of the profession, for very few are shortsighted enough to expect to make a "small" million. In other words, the "Love of Teaching* argument is to be taken Cum Cranis Saltis, in the opinion of the writer. Bob Roberts is:tp Take Leadin Winter Term Drama Club Play Lord Ronald Gorell, international-' ly famous statesman and soldier, will appear before the Normal assembly, Wednesday, March 1, in completing an extensive lecture tour. The theme of his speech will be "Literature and Modern Life." - Lord Gorell arrived in America from England in January, 1933, to start a lecture tour which extends through March. Some of his lecture subjects include "Great Brit-ian's Problems in the Far East," "Education and Democracy," and "Literature and Modern Life." His fame as author, editor, and publisher is worldwide. Lord Gorell is chairman of the "Society of Authors" and partner in the publishing house of John Murray. He was an ardent advocate, and was largely responsible for the educational organization of war armies and is a leader in promoting a better understanding among English speaking people. He was educated at Winchester and Harrow schools and at Ballial college, Oxford, England, and was formerly a member of the editorial staff of the London Times. Lord Gorell is known in all the leading cities of tne world as an exceptional speaker and a keen debater. Since his arrival in the United States he has lectured in all the large cities in the East and Middle West. His appearances have been followed with keen interest arid enthusiasm. ''•' , o- CLUB TO BROADCAST "My name is Robert M. Roberts, but all the girls call me Bob," smiled our illustrious young (?) actor of note. You know the fellow^-the head man in our coming Drama club production, "Beggar on Horseback". Bob plays the part of Neil McRae, a young artist, and is playing it rather well, according to Victor Hoppe, director. It's just another case of a local boy making good in a big way, for Bob hails from good old "south side" He attended Pairhaven high school, graduating in 1930. While there he started his dramatic career with a part in the senior play, "Road to YesteUday". It is said he swept everything before him—anyway he was janitor there for two years. The boy has a lot of push. Bob is now enrolled in his seventh quarter here as a non-diploma student. His main interest is in dramatic work, for he,has taken parts in several of the Drama club productions, playing the Army Chaplain in "Devil's Disciple"; Lord Stanley in "Berkeley Square", and Linzman the Jew, in "Liliom". He also played in two one-act plays, "Dust of the Road" and the "Valiant", before student assemblies.

Smith. The rest were congratulating Roosevelt that he didn't get hit; those who were hit were left out of the picture. Smith congratulated Roosevelt in one line and followed it up with "My joy was tempered only by the plight of the, others".

When fjU^ Wiethe facti America doesn't The Social Science club is sponsoring the broadcast over K V O S tonight from 7:00 to 7:30. The program is to be in commemoration of George Washington. * Robert Becken will open the program with a vocal solo. Members of the club will then present different periods in the life of Washington. Fred Perry will tell about "Washington and Education." Lila Wieder will discuss "Washington's Rules of Conduct." "Washington, a Promoter of Civilization" is the subject of a talk by Stybil Richardson. "Washington and Religion" will be discussed by Eloise Rankin, and Justine Drake will conclude with "Washington, the Man." Daniel Bottswill play a violin solo. o Former Ambassador Speaks on Germany On Lecture Monday With "Germany of Today" for his subject, Baron Richard von Kuhl-mann, former German ambassador, addressed the assembly last Monday morning. Explaining that "you can't understand the tree unless you see its roots", Baron von Kuhlmann first outlined Germany's unification, before discussing that country as a modern empire. . In dealing with modern Germany, Baron von Kuhlman found only one fault in its organization. This "glaring.defect", as he termed it, is the Empire's new constitution, which provides for only one house of parliament. This provision, he believes, has tended to increase unduly the power of President Hindenburg, whom he proclaimed an active sol-- dier and a leader of his people. Baron yon Kuhlman concluded his lecture by defining the feeling now existing between the United abates and Germany as one of sympathetic friendship. He expressed t f t e b e ^ ^ if this feeling cdntlnues it will probably make for^a steady a ^ p e a c e^ of Europe aa y/ell «S "oWmtay By a vote of 91 to 6 the Barefoot Schoolboy bill passed the house of representatives at Olympia last Thursday and was later signed by Governor Clarence D. Martin. Since 1920 the schools have received $20 from the state and $10 from the county per census child, but the 40-mill limit bill recently passed made a change necessary. The new act provides that the state raise 25 cents per student per day's attendance for all elementary school pupils, including kindergarten, and counting one session of night school as a half day; also 30 cents per day for junior high students, and. 35 cents per^day for senior high students. The county has to raise 5 cents per student per day in all schools. The district must try to raise the balance of the money. This increases the state's expenses and decreases the counties' expenses. . o Fees May Be Paid Classes for Spring Quarter to Begin Monday, March 27 Made Concerning Trip Investigate Bookstore to Drama Club to Use New and Drops for Play Presentation Spot .

The Board suggested that the editor refuse unsigned opinions in the future. Permission was given Pat /Allan editor to edit a bunesque copy of the Northwest Viking for March 2 and 3. Floor Problem Discussed The question of the waxing of the gym floor for rec-hour was discussed by the Board but no definite action was taken. A temporary settlement was made with the Women's Physical Education department "as to the preparation of the floor for use of the training school. Extensive plans were made concerning the visit to be made to the Student's Co-op. on February 27.

Surprise Next Week Recently a criticism has been brought to us concerning the ultra-conservative tone we have been trying to achieve in the pages of the Northwest Viking. It has been said that the students do not care for that, style of journalism. ALL R I G H T , T H E N , W E ' L L G I VE ' EM W H A T T H E Y W A N T! Next week the Viking will strike a new tone in journalism for the school. If you want to read a paper that will knock your eyes out, read the Viking next week. Watch for it! Its coming! o Viking Rec Hour Tonight Tonight at rec hour a specfal edition of the Viking will be given out. We can't tell you more than that, but you are all invited to attend. Bob Walters (recalcitrant editor of Normalite) and his greater band will furnish the music, assuring us all a good time. That "something that is new and different" at the rec hour is a big secret until the dance starts. But everyone had better be there on time, or be left 'way behind the crowd. Spring Intramural The spirit aroused by the intramural tournament is shown very well by the challenging that is going on among the teams at the present time for post-season games. We hear of the Harlequin-Doormat game for the cellar championship of the league. The Mullin's hall challenge to "take 'em both on at once" shows the real spirit. And now Mullin's comes out with a challenge to Viking Manor, the season's champs, for a game to decide which house has the best team. Mullin's has the lowest rating in the league. The Manor has the highest. But the boys still want to play basketball. The men who took part in intramural basketball must be getting some fun out of the thing, and unquestionably those who would not be getting any other exercise are achieving it normally and healthily. But what sort of a program has -been arranged for spring sports? /Gould the men and women of the school bear with another intramural . program, / this: time in spring.sports^ as interesting as the one: ,-just com; :-:pIeted3';.'.'v .-3.V 0.'

Since she proved to be rather loquacious, I have recorded only the essence of our conversation. "Why uh—, how do you do, Miss—" "Annabel, • I want to find out whether the historic conflagration of the city of Chicago was accidentally or purposely started." Annabel Gladly Talks ".The Chicago fire was set purposely, Bob, but I had more than one reason for kicking over that lantern. In tht first place, I did not think the city architects far sighted enough; in fact, they did not seem to have any comprehensive building plan at all. It would have been sacrilegious to have stood by and watched fine new skyscrapers erected in the midst of ramshackle buildings. I pictured the chaos of the future city, so I kicked over the lantern. Deed Justified by History "There are no longer dirty little cow barns in Chicago. Modern dairies are maintained now, and only in the outlying districts.. Other lines of business have profited too, •although, of course, I am interested primarily in the dairy business. All of my race who live in Chicago have prospered because of what I did. Although I slept many nights out in the rain and cold until my partner, Mrs. O'Leary, built a new barn, I have no regrets. The glass in my hoof used to pain me terribly, but for the little pain I endured on earth, I. have won eternity here in heaven." Annabel Wins Eternal Happiness Annabel munched peacefully on a wisp of alfalfa. Then she continued, and related how she had overturned Mrs. O'Leary's lantern at a critical time. "That evening the lantern was full of oil and the stack of straw in the stall was dry- The wind was blowing toward the center of town." Annabel paused, blinked both eyes and dramatically uttered these words: "I realized that my moment had come, and I acted! This is my reward." I followed her gaze into the distance where all I could see was waving fields of hay and green grass, shade trees, blue sky, and sparkling water. o John Erskine has written another book guying the heroines and heroes of antiquity. This time it is Tristram and Isolde who. become modern, conforming closely^ to the Erskine pattern for bringing the Round Table up to date. Some day we hope Mr. Erskine will become tired of panning the characters on whom we pinned our childish faith for so many years. After Ernest Hemingway's immensely successful "Farewell to Arms" critics expected great things of him. In reviewing his new novel, "Death in The Afternoon", however, Alexander Woolcott remarks that Hemingway seems to delight in reiterating words that dirty-minded little boys write on whitewashed fences. A-Ha! A good old verbal scrap— the participants being Professor Kiang Kang-hu, of McGill University, and Pearl S. Buck. Says Mr. Kang-hu, in his polite Oriental way, "Mrs. Buck is saturated" to which Pearl S. retorts, "If anyone is all wet, it ain't me." In other words, Kang-hu asserts that "The Good Earth", in depicting the Chinese race in general, has chosen for examples abnormal or peculiar people, not truly representative. Mrs. Buck maintains that Kang-hu speaks from the viewpoint of a high-caste Chinese, who is comparatively unaware of the true serfdom which exists. I t seems that the "Buy America" cry has been taken up by the movies. Arthur Stringer's novel, "The Mud Lark", filmed under the title "The Purchase Price", is a howling example. The story in the original starts with the gentle but poverty stricken heroine in London. Thence she goes to an Alberta ranch, where a tense wheat-farming drama takes place. The girl's old flame, an Englishman, comes out to God's country after her, but she decides to stay with the homely and stolid Jamie. But the movie—ooh, boy! That's mellerdrama—the heroine is a gangster's moll, who becomes tired of New York night club life. She trades places with her maid, and for the price of a, hundred dollars receives a correspondence club husband. Then she migrates to—guess where? None other than North Dakota. Here she becomes the wife of the devastating George Raft, who sniffs incessantly with a summer cold. o EIGHTH GRADE GLASS DISCUSS LIVE TOPICS Weekly Current Event Meeting Is Conducted Informally tft _ua—~ou——un-~-tm^~Hii^— an—-mi— gt;III i n — p t i - * - * * ! * K On the AMPUS Side of the EYHOLE an inter-house spring sports schedule to take the place of winter basketball.

I Fresk's Frivolities America's steadily growing interest in all forms of outdoor sport is , developing a growing realization that i business clothes are not suitable for sports wear. Men who, even five years ago, bought one f6ur-piece suit and stopped there, are now.buying several pairs of odd trousers and a coat or two especially for country and outdoor wear. A canary yellow muffler is gaining popularity as an accessory to formal wear.

The scene of the dance was the lounge room of the Bellingham hotel, which was artistically decorated with black umbrellas. Jay Curtis and his nine-piece orchestra furnished the evening's rhythm. They were garbed in slickers. Delicious punch was served from a rainbar-rel over which was placed a "horse and buggy" umbrella tied with a cellophane bow. The lounge room was turned into a ballroom and the ballroom was transformed into a lounge room. Patrons and patronesses for the dance are: President and Mrs C. H. Fisher, Dr. and Mrs. H.

These were made from ordinary playing cards, with a blue and grey design on the outside card, and t he raised "letter "e" on the upper right hand corner. Each dance was designated by the name of some card game or symbolic card saying. On the back inside cover of the program was a red seal, to which was attached a' strip of gold paper, on the under side of which was written a number. During intermission a box of chocolates was presented to the owner of the program who had the third number drawn from a box by Miss Florence Johnson. Punch Served at Bar The punch stand was in the form of a bar with bottles both full and empty adding to the general effect, and was placed to the left of the entrance. The dancers were served a clear liquid green absinthe. The chandeliers were covered with shades of parchment decorated with modernistic" designs. Around the walls were placed palms which along with the colored lightning created a pleasing effect. Patrons and patronesses of the affair were: President and Mrs. C. H. Fisher, Dr. and Mrs. H. V.

All the girls wear them. But how many do they wear? You'll have to take the following figures for facts, because figures don't lie. 1.98 pairs per--month, and. don't go asking how she can wear 1:98 pairs per month, no matter what you were thinking. A Girl and Her Coat I t is possible that a young man dreaming of a bungalow, with vines and things around the door, and a' little girl inside, with a little crib, maybe, might be practical enough to wonder how much Miss Joe expends on those stockings. Ninety-six cents per pair! But better than the question of stockings is the dress problem. Seven dollars and twenty-two cents is spent for a school dress, and thirteen dollars and fifty-seven cents for a dance dress.. The question of how long they last? Well, Joe, you see 'em in school every day, and how often do you take 'em to a dance? Girls always seem to be fussing with their hair. Yet only 42.9 per cent of them have permanent waves. Only six per cent of them indulge in marcels, but 63.2 per cent of them indulge in finger waves, "because it's reasonable". 32.4 per cent like their shampoos. When Leisure Calls Recreation for the college girl has grappled with the cutting arm of economy. The moving picture, dancing, and eating down town, long the favorite outlets for leisure, look like this when reduced to figures: Although some go to dances as often as eight times a month, and some not at all, t he average is 1.8 per month Moving pictures are more popular, showing an attendance of 2.8 per month.

The victory was the Rangers' second seasonal win over the Bellingham fivev . . , Vikings Outclassed The Normal school was no match for the rangy St. Martin squad and were outscored by the Saints' dazzling offensive drives from the very beginning of the game. The Rangers, led by Hagerty ahd Taylor, both well over six feet tall, conducted a classy tip-off combination which the Blue and White could nqjb stop. The boys from Lacey displayed their superiority in the early part of the contest by running up a 23-3 score. At half-time the scoreboard read 29 to 11. Game Is Rough The game was extremely rough, twenty-seven personal fouls being committed during the 40 minutes of hostilities. The McBeath brothers, McNeill, and Sorensen were high scorers for the Vikings. Taylor of St. Martins won high-point honors by swishing the cord for 14 digits. It was a rather disappointing climax for Carver's pupils as the St. Martins game rung down the curtains for this season. The basketball suits will be laid away and track togs will be in vogue from now on. Summary: Normal 27 St. Martins 58 C. McBeath 5 ....F Hagerty 11 M.

Tn tyui in the ffiinnaal l Egaammee oof i the intra-1 Viking Manor, after w^ innin^g eight du_ mural league played in the ^ j j j £ S d \he]x f e a t m the last half gym last Monday night the R ° w d y | a n d consequently tucked the banner Take Revelers in Final Game by 36-29 Score Relics proved that they are entitled to the second place position by downing the Rollicking Revelers, an outfit that has shown considerable improvement during the last half of the season. The final score was 36 to 29. • The Relics played a nice floor game, displaying a well-oiled passing attack. The Revelers' scoring was evenly distributed, which was also indicative of nice floor work. But their guarding was not close enough to hold down the Relics' high- scoring aces. Jimmy Stoddard, who is evidently the most accurate shot in the league, was again high point man. Bob Walters played a bang-up checking and passing game and also looked good in the scoring. Math-eny was outstanding for the losers. The line-ups: Referees: Gunn and Carver.

Although after the first few games the championship was conceded to the Manor, the Relics, or the. Raiders, nearly every game played was a fight to the finish. Mullin's Angels showed up well in the first half of the race, but some of its players fell by the wayside and four of the Angels' last half games were forfeited. Teams Find Ability Two teams which seemed to find needed ability over the holiday season were the Harlequins and the Revellers. The Harlequins were a mediocre team until the second half opened, ttien they bowed in defeat to only "two teams, the Relics and the Manor. During the last half the Revellers had one of the best passing and checking teams. The Relics have the distinction of making the most points in one game, scoring 74 points against the Revelers. The highest scoring game saw the Co-op defeat the Bachelor's club 66 to 33. Those who refereed the games deserve everyone's sympathy. DOWNED BY NORMAL Hudson, Lutheran Ace^ and Moser, Normal Guard, Are Hot One week ago tonight, before a fair-sized crowd, the Viking varsity hoopsters conquered the Pacific Lutheran college quintet 32 to 31, in a fast game played at Parkland, a small town just south of Tacoma: Normal held the lead-all the way, having a 17- to 8 margin over the Lutherans at the half. Toward the close of the game, the opposition, led by Hudson, a sharp-shooting guard, unleashed a barrage of long shots that made things decidedly hoiT for the Bellingham boys. Bel-lingham's superior team-play, however enabled them to stay on top 'tilthe close of, the game. By Moser Good Clint McBeath played a fine floor game for the Vikings, while By Moser was outstanding in the scoring, ringing the gong for l l points. McNeill arid Million, subs, who went in for Nolte and Dutch McBeath played a good part of the time. Million played a nice passing game and McNeill did some close checking.

Baseball as a major sport is definitely out for this season because of lack of funds, but according to Coach Pop Gunn, intramural baseball will be played on a larger scale than ever before. "It has not been decided yet," Pop said, "whether the game will be played with a regular baseball or a soft playground ball. The latter form seems to be more popular, as more students will be able to participate." Definite plans have not yet been made but as soon as the spring quarter starts and the weather warms up a schedule will be drawn up and play will start. Prospective managers are warned to get their teams lined up before all the "stars" are signed. • _ c— — • Baron Interviewed (Continued from Page One) SPORT SLANTS well now that it's over and the smoke is beginning to clear away we canToot " o " ard for awhile, and wdnder how it's all going to come out m the nrmg T i t h no intercollegiate baseball.

October 31, Hallowe'en, is the big night. Margaret Osier, chairman of the dance, urges all those girls who signed the temporary list to be sure and sign up on the permanent list soothe committees will know how many to plan on and also so the program committee can begin work on the programs. A Hallowe'en motive will be carried throughout, with witches and cats for decorations. Mel McKee and his eight-piece orchestra will supply the music for the dance. Although the football team is going to Tacoma to play Pacific Lutheran college, Coach Lappenbusch says the boys will return in time for the dance, so, girls, here is your opportunity to ask your football hero. WEA Meet Has Popular Educators Here Nichols Appointed To WEA Position Of Representative Former Student Will Assist In Acquainting Public with Work Of Organization Calvin Nichols, of Tacoma, former Normal student, has been appointed field representative for the WEA. This new position has been created for public relation services. He will seek to assist educational fbrees to a^uamt'the public with school principles and programs, their accomplishments and needs. Mr. Nichols graduated from Bell-ingham Normal in 1926. He served on the staff of the school paper one quarter and was an assistant in the library. He was active and popular with both students and faculty. He has since received a bachelor's degree from the University of Washington, a master's degree from Harvard, and completed residence work for a doctor's degree. For a year and a half he served on the Nye Munitions Investigation committee. Hanna, Zirbes, Among Speakers; Technique Classes Excused For Speech Dr. Laura Zirbes, professor of education at Ohio State university, Dr. Paul R. Hanna, associate professor of education at Stanford, and Bruce R. Baxter, president of Willamette university were among the prominent educators brought here for the Washington Educational Association's convention, which met yesterday and today at the Mount Baker theatre. Students in technique classes were excused yesterday morning to hear Dr. Zirbes speak on "The Challenge of Today to Teachers." Arrangements to hear other parts of the program are made with the student's supervisor. Cora L. Oleson, president of the WEA and Dr. N. D. Showalter, state superintendent of public instruction were among this morning's speakers. Henry W. Turner is general chairman for the occasion. Thursday afternoon was taken up by section programs, held at Bel-lingham High School. Different sections included: visual aid, industrial arts, vocational education, music, and home economics. Programs today include general sessions at the Mount Baker theatre both morning and afternoon, and panel discussions held at Bellingham high this afternoon. o Fall Quarter Rally Committee Formed Formation of Group Urged by Coaches and Students Board Sanctions Increased Fees Class Dues Abolished; Money For Traditional Parties Out of Social Fund. To clear up any misunderstanding as to class dues the Board of Control wishes to announce that there are no such dues. The increase in the student body fee does not take the place of the class fees, which were abolished last spring by motion of the Board. Money for class parties will be appropriated from the social fund, the maximum amount allowed for one party being $35. At its last meeting, Friday, October 16, the group voted that guest tickets for rec hour or class parties should not be issued to high school students hereafter. Bill Taylor was appointed chairman of the quarterly Board banquet to be held tonight at the Leopold hotel. All the newly elected members are invited to be present. Due to the absence of President C. H. Fisher, the meeting on apportionment of student funds was postponed until next Wednesday. At this same meeting the Board will elect a vice president from among its numbers to take the place of Florence Lund, recently elected president. Another member will also be appointed to make up the quota. Club Holds Dinner At Bellinghaifl Hotel Valkyrie club held its fall initiation dinner Tuesday evening at the Bellingham hotel. After the dinner a short program was presented including song selections by Echo Oxford, a reading by Elsabelle Crut-tenden, and piano solos by Mary Johnston. ^ Following the program a short business meeting was held formally accepting the pledges into the club. Marion Hayden, president, stressed the importance of the members getting their sweaters and emblems immediately. Initaites taken into the association were Echo Oxford, Dorothy Thomas, Jean Le Valley, Ruth Pugh, Margaret Greer, Elsabelle Crutten-den, Phyllis Robinson, Florence Bernart, Betty Ann Russell, Pheobe Sherk, Mary Johnson, Maxine Mol-drem, Ida Williams, Betty Franklin^ Lilliam Pearson, Ruth Kulle, and Virgie Boal. f - ' Plans for a Rally committee, which will superintend all rallies, between-the-halves stunts, and all student assemblies, are being made by assistant yell-leader, Walt Skinner. The committee is being formed as an answer to the general opinion of Normal students concerning the so-called lack of school spirit. Skinner was quoted as saying, "If we have one group of people to whom we can look for leadership in these matters of school spirit and have the same outfit responsible for keeping things moving at all the games we can't lose. After all, pep is just a matter of keeping things going." Members of the committee chosen for the remainder of the football season are as follows: Martha Lou Pulver, Margaret Osier, Joan Hoppe, Marion Haydon, Bette Burnet, Lloyd Nelson, Don McNeill, Don Holder, Bud Vandergriend, Fred Weihe, Bob Canterbury, Ed Angel, and Walt Skinner. o Many Edeiis Hall Girls Week-End Out of Town Students Select Padden, Tomco New Representatives TV Assume Office Immediately; Replace Rolle, Nygreen Anna Padden and Ed Tomco are the newly elected Board of Control members. They defeated Margaret Kane and Katheryn Hatch in the final election, which was held Wednesday in the Men's club room. The new student representatives take office immediately. They fill the positions held by two former students, Mabel Rolle and Glen Nygreen, whose terms expired at the end of the summer quarter. Election clerks were: Beryl Wise, Madeline Thayer Betty Swisher, Lucille Lee, and Louise Lammers. The Board of Control is a council of ten members, presided over by the president of the student body. Three of the members are faculty representatives, one appointed by the president of the school, one elected by the faculty, and one elected by the student body. The remaining six members are students, who are also elected by the student body. It is the duty of the Board to represent the students in affairs concerning them. Neophyte Clubs Appeal to ICC For Unification Friedman, Burroughs Represent New Organizations; Council Gives Sanction Prexy Against Pressing Legislation To Do The Greatest Good For The Greatest Number Is Idea Of Entering President; Is Grateful for Support By Ed Johnston "As far as pressing legislation on any school matter, that is out of my mind entirely," stated Florence Lund, newly elected president of the associated student body, in a recent interview. The popular and efficient athlete went on to say that the person who presides at a meeting should have no authority or power to sway those who do the deciding and that during the time she was holding the gavel would be no exception. When asked how she felt about being the fifth woman in the history of the school to hold this position of honor she just blushed and said, "We've just started." Boys, maybe some one should look into this statement—the interviewer would have, but he felt rather out of place in the girls' PE office, where the prexy was busily engaged in some work. "I feel honored and not a little elated about the election," murmured the modest leader, "and am very grateful for the abundance of support," she added. She also made clear that in return she intended to support the majority. In concluding, Miss Lund said, "To do the greatest good for the greatest number is my idea-nstill— and always." With representatives of two newly formed clubs presenting petitions for charters, a fiery session was held at the meeting of the Interclub Council last Wednesday, according to Mildred Fackler, president of the I. C. C. The two groups seeking permission to organize temporarily were the Tuesday Evening Discussion club headed by Ralph Friedman, and the Men's club represented by Homer Burroughs. Wishing to present today's assembly with the backing of a club, Mr. Friedman asked for temporary sanction to organize his club in order that a constitution might be drawn up and a faculty sponsor chosen. Mr. Burroughs, in presenting the petition for the new Men's club, stated the plan of the new organization was to sponsor fellowship [ among the men and put them back into school socially. Both clubs were given temporary sanction by the council. In a discussion of further business the junior-senior class, which is not organized and has missed two meetings in succession, faces the possibility of being dropped from the ICC. o League To Sponsor Fall Tea and Show Robinson Appointed General Head; Girls Model Clothes Many of the Edens hall girls vis ited out of town the past week-end.

Board Members, Padden and Tomco, Active Participants in Most Athletics Anna Padden and Ed Tomco chosen in Wednesday's election as additions of the Board of Control, are very enthusiastic about the election and the activities of the year to come. Miss Padden is very well known throughout/the school and her many activities qualify her for the position. She is now doing her student teaching at Roosevelt grade school. Among the activities that Miss Padden has entered while attending the Normal school, athletics gets the most popular vote. "I have turned put for tennis, basketball, and badminton, but tennis Is my favorite sport/'said the new board member. :H^:^''^otocO-'see!OS:;.'t»- be interested Erickson Gives Talk At Longview Alumni Association^ Banquet To speak in President Fisher's place Miss Einma Erickson, junior high supervisor, went to Longview to attend a luncheon held there by the Southwest Bellingham alumni Tuesday.

Sometimes it seems doubtful whether we have yet reached this Utopian state of enlightenment—and when it becomes necessary for someone to go over the campus after evening rec hours picking up bottles of various sizes and shapes and sweeping broken glass off the tennis courts it becomes a certainty that there is a group of these mal-adjusted social misfits in our very '^ifrnee''-there is no coercive organization in school to handle such a situation it means that the innocent must suffer with the guilty. If the collection shows weekly increase the matter may be brought to the attention of the faculty committee or the student execuive board, perhaps resulting in the discontinuance of those evening affairs. Just in way of offering a helpful suggestion—it would doubtless be equally satisfying and amusing to the offenders and would be much more effective and worth their while if they would take themselves off in some quiet, out-of-the-way place and break their receptacles over each other's heads. o Campi Coast to Coast By Walt Skinner I t seems that one large university somewhat south of here has an engineering school. In that school are a group of fellows known as "cain-raisers." These perverts are set aside from the rabble in a very exclusive hall ..known ..as purgatory. One member of this group, for no apparent reason at all deemed it highly commendable that he go out of his way to gum up the routine smoothness of the avarage engineering student's life. * * * * * In accomplishing this feat he went to the pains of leading a somewhat bedraggled cow into his room-mates bedroom. This was pretty good humor until the cow died. Even that wasnt so bad, but with the help of everyone in the hall they couldnl budge the beef. To cut it short, the animal was slaughtered in full and. dragged out piecemeal. Aside from bloodstains on the carpel and a funny odor, everything is going pretty well. * * * * * I don't like to dwell on one subject too much, but Cornell came through with another prize this week. ,The Society for the Preservation of Mae West Quotations take heed—this appeared on the No. 1 bulletin hoard at that school. "Come up some time—anytime —to the Christian Endeavor Hobby room. Open until 7." * * * * * There was a very well attended debate at the University of Wisconsin last week. People who ought to know, claim that there was a crowd because of the subject, "Is corn mash as made by the individual superior to that used by the government" Everyone is allowed his own opinion on this subject.

Nip those Huskies! Highbrowitties By Robert J. McCohnell Students dislike school assembly programs and compulsory attendance! Through coercion, it is attempted to conform students to the programs, instead of modifying the programs for the students. The type of program under criticism is the "heavy classics" variety in music, literature, and drama. For those students who have not had orientation studies, compulsory attendance to programs consisting of a heavy indigestible mental food will cause them to suffer the agonies of boredom. Thus, the promoters of highly intellectual programs are defeating their own ends. I t is said that children digest only food they like; the same can be said of students' mental digestion. For the better assimilation of programs by those unappreciative toward the "heavy classics," may be recommended that popular compositions be extensively used. Let us have good musical, literary, and dramatical presentations that we can understand and actually enjoy. Modify the programs for our intellectual comprehension! Give us the beautiful orchestra, band, and organ music that we hunt for on the radio. The assembly hour would then become a thing of anticipation and glorious adventure that would abolish the policing of attendance. o—: Dear Mama Hall of Fame FAMOUS POME: There was a young wrm (So all stories enfrm) Whose brain was infrm.

SPORTS THE VIKINGS ABE GOING V TO TOWN! Looking It Over By Nelson DEFEAT Four minutes left to play, third down and two yards to go for a touchdown; he gives the signal, the ball is snapped and it's a fumble. St. Martins recovers and our initial defeat of the season is final. Excuses for losing this game are not necessary. The Vikings were playing as hard a game as their opponents. They were hitting the line every time the ball was snapped, with all the enthusiasm of veteran players. The only regret that our school has, is the injury of .so many players in a losing battle. EXCITEMENT!!!! Football fans of Bellingham were certainly given their money's worth at that same game. Personally, never before have I seen an audience as excited and tense as they were last Saturday night. CHEERS AND JEERS Because of the fact that our team is doing its utmost to win its games is no excuse for the lack of courtesy shown the visiting squad. Why not have a couple of yells for our opponents? I know they would appreciate it, and it wouldn't hurt the prestige of school a bit.. Snap out of it, you rooters, and give a yell for the Frosh tomorrow night. DANGEROUS A formidable group of Frosh will be Waiting for our team tomorrow night at Ballersby field. There are ninety players turning out for the University of Washington Frosh learn this year, and I am sure they will bring only their best to Bellingham to pit against the Vikings. Although our squad is seriously weakened, due to injured men, the frosh will have a lough time of tak-mg this game. Everybody turn out for the game tomorrow night and see the Vikings make amends for their first defeat of the season. Turnouts Begin As Intramural Season Starts Basketball Games To Be Played At 4 : 0 0 P . M. in New Gym; Teams Wanted Intramural basketball will get under way this year a little earlier than anticipated. Coach Sam Carver has set Nov. 9, which is the week following Homecoming, the official date for the start of the season. As has been the policy in the past, any club, class, or house such as Barton's Hall, Edwards' Hall and Daniels' Hall or any group of fellows are eligible to enter a team. Last year, eight teams were listed, but this year . Carver expects at least twelve teams to enter in order to give all men of the school a chance to participate. Intramural games last season were held in the small gym, but this year with the opening of the new PE building all games will be played there. Formerly, two games were held, three times a week; but this year Carver hopes to have enough teams in the league to have two games scheduled for each day. The first game will start at 4:00 o'clock each 'afternoon with the second game starting immediately upon completion of the first. Official regulation college ball is played and Coach Carver referees all games. A split season will be played this year, with the winner of the first half playing the winner of the second half for top honors. Barton s Makes Plans Ame Johnson, president of Barton's hall, called a house meeting Thursday evening. Plans were discussed for competing in the homecoming sign contest. Delbert Milholland was elected chairman and carpenter- in-chief of the project. He will be assisted by the freshmen in particular and by the entire house in general. Plans were made for a dinner Thursday evening, in Mr. L. A. Kibbe's honor. A talk was given by the house mother, Mrs. Barton, regarding house regulations and traditions. After discussing nebulous plans for future social functions, the meeting was adjourned by Mr. Johnson. University Pups Play Tomorrow Many Former High School Stars On Colorful Yearling Team From Seattle Vikings Accept Initial Defeat at Ranger Hands St. Lindsley, Jacobson, Kidder In Golf Tie Tournament Tie T o Be Played Off Next Spring; Lakeway Finishing up the present championship golf tournament of the school last Tuesday, Bob Lindsley, Pat Jacobson, and Phil Kidder came out on top~with a three-way tie of 152 on 36 holes. Lindsley's score card showed an 80 and a 72, while Pat Jacobson's card tallied a 79 and a 73. Kidder carded a pair of 76's. Virgil Heinberger followed these three into fourth place with an 86 and a 76 for 162 and Homer Morris was next with 84 and 88 for 172. Jerry Jacobson had as yet not turned in his card but it was understood that his scores were not lower than the top three. Coach Sam Carver, mentor of the golf team, states that this tie will not be played off until next spring when the weather is nice. The veterans of last year's campaign that Carver will work with are Lindsley, Pat and Jerry Jacob-son, Kidder, and Homer Morris. Heinberger, a former Whatcom High school letterman, is expected to be among the leaders next spring. Still smarting from the 13 to 9 trimming handed them by the St. Martin's college Rangers last week, a somewhat injured but revenge-seeking group of Vikings will attempt to put the brakes on the University of Washington frosh tomorrow night at Battersby field in the Normal's fourth straight home game. The yearlings, coached by "Tubby" Graves, are made up of former all-star high school players from all over the United States. Among them, Carl Hufford, a back, who is a brother to the famed Merle Hufford, a few years ago probably one of the University of Washington's greatest ball carriers; Don Yarr, a tackle, and a cousin to Ail-American Tommy Yarr, of Notre Dame in 1930, while Jack Horn, former Whatcom high school flash, is listed as a reserve tackle. First Clash for Frosh Reports are that last Monday night the frosh held the first string reserves to two touchdowns in 60 minutes of play. Little is known of their power otherwise, as the Viking clash will be their first this season. Meanwhile Coach Lappenbusch has been drilling his boys on punt formation and line blocking during the past week in an effort to rub out punting obstacles which with bad luck have hindered the Vikings during the season. Although Fred Krueger has not quite lived up to his last year's punting performances, he is working hard and seems to have shown a vast improvement in turnouts. He will handle the punting chore with Leo Lange, his successor, if necessary. Squad Crippled As the St. Martins tussle left a crippled Viking squad, Fox, Wahl and Kessel will be used in place of Peterson, Bengston and Maski. Smith, who was out of the St. Martins game with a bad knee, is back in the fold again and available for service. The Frosh have always been great drawing cards here in Bellingham, and should be this year, as local fans are interested in seeing what constituted the best of high school players in and outside of the state of Washington last year. A colorful combination of youngsters, they will be out after the Vikings in real fashion as each player has his mind set on a varsity position next fall.

WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL. BELLINGHAM. WASHINGTON Pre- Informalities Just a few timely hints for the coming informal. It's a Women's league dance, so the girls buy the tickets. And just in case you don't know, it's a program dance- You 11 get your programs when you pay your dollar. Exchange dances with girls as soon as you get your programs; dont. wait until the last minute-or you may not be able to complete it. If you do exchange dances, be sure to follow your program. It is very inconsiderate to keep a couple waiting to exchange a dance. Now,in answer to that time-worn expression, WHAT SHALL I WEAR? Don't take the word "Informal" TOO literally. It doesn't mean sport clothes, but long dresses, preferably with more than a suggestion of sleeve and back. Simplicity is the keynote, so don't come out in your most elaborate gown, that is, if yon have more than one. Don't feel bashful if yon haven't; remember you're not alone in the field. If there are any questions you would like to ask address them to ETTA KETT and drop them in the Contribution box in the hall. Corsages or no corsages is a question which causes controversy whenever a Women's informal comes over the social horizon. Let it hereby be known that corsages are in no way necessary on this occasion. Not that a, simple corsage would not be appreciated, but it must be made clear that it is not expected. o WEA Members Observe Classes Training School Open to Meet; Rich Attends Tea for Zirbes In Seattle Today Haydon Appoints Final Committees General chairman of Homecoming, Marion Haydon, has appointed the following committees: house display, Ruth Pugh, chairman, and: Clara Olsen, Cozy Cottage; Mae McCabe, Collett Court; Marian Magnachi, Downs hall; Marie Schmidt, Nichols Hall; Sophie An-drele, Ragan hall; Maryl Ferguson, Reynolds hall;.Enid Montieth, Yoes hall; Ruth Decker, Beverly hall Dorothy Hardle, Davis hall; Helen Ulling, Enger hall; Alice Arm-strang; McCormick hall; Margaret.

Training school classes, which have formerly been closed on Thursday of the WEA conventions, remained open yesterday for observation. Teachers here for the conclave were allowed to visit any class they desired to see. Dr. Paul R. Hanna, associate professor of education at Stanford university, and Dr. Laura Zirbes, professor of education at Ohio State university were among those visiting the elementary school yesterday. Work was conducted in the usual way by the room teachers. After the children were dismissed, a discussion group composed of three teachers, one each from Skagit and Whatcom counties, and one from Bellingham, took charge. In order not to disturb the children's regular schedules, observations of the lower grades began at at 2:00 o'clock. Observations on Program Under the main topic, "Integration of Social Science with Other School Subjects," special observations included: first grade, work period and discussion; second grade, work period emphasizing the arts; third grade, science in relation to social • science; fourth grade, work period showing integration with social science. Social science emphasizing history was demonstrated by the fifth grade; the sixth grade stressed geography in relation to social science; seventh grade the social uses of mathematics. In the eighth grade the integration of social science with English was shown. Miss Mary E. Rich, director of the training school, is attending a tea in honor of Dr. Laura Zirbes, professor of education at Ohio State university, in Seattle today.

In reality, the pennants were acquired via energetic young hands and several inter-collegiate athletic contests.

Moreover, if there is a steaming pan of something which emits a decidedly scorched odor, on the window sill, a sink-full of dirty EVERY YEAR Prexy gets a yen to play golf but after the third attempt he usually gives up. To compensate for this he is an ardent fan of pingr pong. The Fisher family has organized a tournament right within their household. Thus far Mr. Fisher has only succeeded in defeating Mrs. Fisher, Don't serve onions to President Fisher. Why? Because he doesnt like them. And what's more he doesn't like cucumbers.

Among other things, Mary says he doesn't wait up nights. What a break for Mary! HER NAME is Vaughn Howell, newly elected president of the Women's League and general manager of Edens Hall. Vaughn's difficulty with bicycles led to her riding AT EASiS on the bars with the gentleman doing the up—and down-hill work and worry.

Is Nationally Known Conductor and Violinist Just another star in the crown of John Roy Williams who will direct the Normal School Symphony Orchestra in its appearance at next Tuesday's assembly. Mr. Williams, nationally known violinist and orchestra conductor— second to none, not even Walter Damrosch. And is Bellingham proud of having such an illustrious artist right in its midst? Very much so. Although Mr. Williams is very reticent about any sort of publicity concerning himself, nevertheless he is deserving of the best that newspapers can afford in that time. His retiring personality prompts one to give others a true picture of his unostentatious manner which is quite rare in this day and age. Assisting the symphony orchestra will be Helen Blake Williams, contralto, who will sing "Trees" (Kilmer) and "Sylvia" (Speaks). Especially outstanding in the program of the orchestra are "Blue Danube Waltz" (Strauss) and "Piz-zacato Polka" (Delibes). The orchestra is composed of Normal students and some talent from the city. Whenever the orchestra has appeared here at school they have been favorably received. SPECIAL Sat. Morning. Bring this ad. Good for 5c in trade with every 25c purchase or more.

In much the same way, we drift along, accepting the opportunities offered us, hardly recognizing them until something we do not like arouses our indignant criticism. Then we rant. Perhaps we merely shrug and say, "It's about time something was done about it." It wouldn't hurt any of us to try to forget our tendency toward adverse criticism and look back upon the opportunities our schooling has offered us. Contrary to the old maxim "Opportunity knocks but once," opportunity comes to us, not once or twice, but many times. Summer school has afforded us numerous recreational activities we might not otherwise have had. The high-light of these activities was the Victoria trip. I do not need to mention that for all we know it certainly was. worth while. In ; fact; ''A good time was had by all." - i A great deal of credit is due our president, who has always encouraged a wide variety of activities. We. have the opportunity of hearing artiste we might otherwise merely read about. We have the use of a beautiful well-stocked library, which was not granted us without the dill-' gent efforts on the part of President C. H. Fisher and former President D. B. WaJUo.• '•'-;-..: ''?:'^-^. : •;;'/'.--r..- \-::/' y'O yy^y'.^'-'-y ' A ^ 4 « f activity program has been engaged in by tru^ Normal school 1 than by either of the. other ^twd teacher training institutions of this Estate. Vlh the past years an appropr^tion of $1,500 has been set aside for bringing musical artists to this city. This has; bejen dropped in the past yeea-faet to fir^ncial conditions, but the assembly programs will be continued, although the appropriation has been cut from $2,000 to $1,500.

To this institution of faint and fickle hearts their shines as can only the romance of the immortal Doug and Mary Fairbanks in Hollywood. In snow and in rain (mostly.rain) the hearts of the weary students are made glad by the sight of this modern Borneo and his Juliet tripping gaily on in their eager quest of knowledge^ Time may. come and time may go but these stay on forever. C SEEN FREQUENTLY about school is Quentin Quick, an alumnus who was one of the big shots about school several years ago. As president of the student body for four quarters during 1930-31, he succeeded in making his name a by-word among the students and faculty. "The Hardest Job in the United States," the title of his speech in winning the final extemporaneous contest in 1931, cannot be applied to his efforts in that afair. For in doing so he outwitted the fair sex, and for the first time in the history of the trophy awarded to the winner it went to a real man. . That brawn and brains do not mix cannot be applied to this man, for he just couldn't confine his activities to the latter, but for two seasons was a valuable linesman on the varsity football team.

Just as the tendency in architecture,is to eliminate all embellishments—4n sculpture, to let the stone remain practically unchanged—and in music to leave out melody— so, perhaps, we shall in time discard steps in the ballroom, and our dances will become a repetition of our early morning physical jerks.

The annual, which was edited by Helen Hostetter and managed by Joe Dolan, was declared excellent by the critics. The general plan of the book was rated with the highest possible score. The theme of the 1936 yearbook was a nautical one and the color scheme used was green, silver, and black. The art work, opening section, classes and organizations sections, cover selection . . . all were rated above average. Just average were the administration and athletic sections, page make-up, photography, engraving, and printing. Also satisfactory were the financial status, the purpose and personality of the book. The first class honor rating has now been received for two consecutive years. Previous to 1935, most of the annuals received second class rating. The staff of the 1936 Klipsun included: editor, Helen Hostetter; business manager, Joe Dolan; associate editor, Margaret Thon; art editor, Margie Lawrence; men's sports editor, Harry Kluge; women's sports editor, Josephine Grassmeyer; class editor, Maxine Mickle; organization editor, Aloha Genther; administra tion editor, Helen Boothe; photography editor, Roy Johnson; assistant photography editor, Wendell Dawson; special writer, Katheryn Hatch. Miss Anna Ullin was the faculty adviser. The commercial photography for the annual was done by J. W. San-dison. Engraving of the annual was done by the Western Engraving company of Seattle, and the printing was the work of the Union Printing company. Miss Hazel Plympton Enjoys -Teaching Work "New York has far exceeded my expectations," writes Miss Hazel Plympton, Normal art instructor whofis now attending Columbia university. Miss Plympton has sent several copies of "The Berkeley Blotter", from Berkeley Institute, where she is doing her student teaching. In answer to her request, the Viking staff will begin exchanging weekly issues with the Brooklyn publication immediately. o- Rec Hour Tonight Orchestra Composed Entirely Of Normal Students Bee hour has been planned for tonight to take the place of the junior-senior party which is scheduled on the school calendar. Helen Acklen, Board member in charge of rec hours, has appointed Martha Lou Pulver as chairman of the arrangement committee. Miss Pulver has secured the services of Mel McKee's orchestra, composed entirely of Normal students under the direction of Jack Rauch, also a student. Faculty guests will be Miss Georgia P. Gragg and Dr. E. A. Bond. Betty Franklin, May-nard Ponko, and Rex Rolle are the student sponsors. - Grads Honored With Dedication Five Thousand Invitations Issuedto Alumni; Elaborate Plans Near Completion Committee chairmen have been appointed, hundreds of. invitations issued, a tentative program arranged and final plans are now well under way for the annual Homecoming celebration which will be held November 6 and 7. Marion Haydon, general chairman of the affair, has already received enthusiastic response from her many committeemen who plan on making this a memorable Homecoming. Those who will aid Miss Haydon are: dance, Oscar Star-lund; booklet, Jerry Jacobson; banquet, Virginia Holm; house displays, Ruth Pugh; bonfire, Tony Hovik; radio program, Martha Lou Pulver; and rally, Kenneth Selander. This year Bellingham Normal will have an added attraction to the Homecoming exercises—the dedication of the new Physical Education building. Construction on this structure was begun last year and its completion has long been anticipated. Complete and definite plans have not as yet been made but the tentative program as now arranged for Saturday, Nov. 7, is as follows: football game with Cheney Normal at 2 p. m., banquet and dedication of new Physical Education building at 6:30 p. m., Edens hall, and a dance in trie new gymnasium at 9 p. m. -o 'Christopher Bean' Rehearsals Begin With the opening night only one month away, V. H. Hoppe and his cast have begun rehearsals and have carefully outlined then- program so as to reach production by November 19th. The play—Sidney Howard's "The Late Christopher Bean," chosen as the Division of Drama's fall production, is a "comedy with a moral." The play will be given in Edens hall Blue room on the evenings of November 19, 20 and 21, with a matinee on Saturday. Activity tickets will admit students and the prevailing price for outsiders will be 35 cents plus tax. "This play was approved by New York, Paris and Berlin audiences and it is fan- to assume that the play is worthy of our serious attention," says Mr. Hoppe. o Alkisiahs To Consider Foreign Music, Culture Alkisiahs held their regular meeting Monday night at the clubroom in Edens hall. There was .general discussion as to what countries the members were interested in studying. Suggestions were made concerning the arts, music and culture of these lands. Lack of sociability was mentioned, so the girls decided to stay after meetings and converse with one another, getting acquainted with the other members. They also decided to put a paper on the bulletin board for new members to sign. o Local Scout Executive Conducts New Course Psychologist To Raise Milk Goats Dr. David Seabury Stresses Importance of Teacher's Knowledge Of Psychology In Talks and Interview From portrait painting to raising goats on Orcas Island, is the unusual gamut run by the interests of Dr. David E. Seabury, eminent New York psychologist, who was the speaker in last Tuesday's assembly. Dr. Seabury intends to spend next summer raising milk goats for sale to sanitariums. "This is not a hobby with me, but an avocation," explained the psychologist, who believes that mere hobbies without a basis of learning, or a definte purpore, are not valuable. When a young man. Dr. Seabury intended to make art his career, and to this end studied portrait painting-in Paris. "I became so interested in solving the problems of other artists that I did not have time to paint," he says, "so I decided to come back to the United States to study psychology. After his education was completed, Dr. Seabury became a member of the staff of Culver Military academy, where he devised the unusual system of teaching spelling by tearing the words apart and analyzing them by means of "creative definitions". Dr. Seabury is very enthusiastic on the subject of teachers and their potentialities for improvement of psychological conditions. Sympathy and interest in the students, and an attempt to understand their motives and needs is the basis for good teaching, he thinks. "Habit kills interest," he says. "A teacher should teach with and not at the class. Dr. Seabury believes that his sympathy and understanding of other people's problems is due to his own misunderstood childhood. Scout leadership class, conducted by scout executive, R. E. Cromp-ton, in charge of scouting in Whatcom, Skagit, and San Juan counties, was opened by a talk by the instructor last Monday evening. Commenting on the class, Mr. Crompton said, "A knowledge of scouting makes a man boy-minded, thereby helping him to better fit in a community, whether he be teacher or business man." As in the two previous years that Mr. Crompton has taught this course, it will be followed by a more advanced training in principles of Scoutsmanship. Negro's Heaven is Shown in Movie Soroptimists Sponsor Production Special Price for Students "Green Pastures," the Marc Connelly stage play which showed on the stage for five years, and was then brought to the screen by Warner brothers, will be shown at the Mt. Baker theater, starting Thursday. Saturday night a special showing of the picture will be sponsored by the Soroptimist club of Bellingham. Miss Mary E. Rich and Miss Gertrude Longley will sell tickets to Normal students wishing to see the play. These tickets will cost 37 cents, instead of the usual 40 cents admission. The Soroptimist club is a group of women representing various professions. Miss Rich and Miss Long-ley are the only members from school. The enthusiasm of those who have seen the production and the fact ,hat it took the Pulitzer prize recommend the picture highly. o Optimists Sponsor Ward Stage Show In order to earn money for the Bellingham Orthopedic ward the Optomist club of Bellingham is sponsoring an amateur night. Another purpose of this is to discover local talent. Normal students are also asked to compete. For five consecutive Saturdays, starting October 17, the amateurs will be able to perform. Each night one act will be chosen and on the Wednesday following the last Saturday which will be November 18, the five winning acts will compete for the grand prizes. On the last night the Optimists will get 20 per cent of the money taken in during the evening. This will all go to the Bellingham Orthopedic ward. 'Minick' Launches New Guild Season Krietes, Bacon, Normal Students, Are Given Roles in Drama Bellingham Theater Guild opens its season with a novel play, "Minick." The thread of this light comedy story is of old man Minick, who comes to live with his son and daughter-in-law. This affords a setup of great interest. , The best talent of the guild is cast in this production. Louis Fra-zee takes the lead as the old man, and reminds one of George Arliss in "Old English." He also directs the play. The supporting cast includes Adolph Rank, Oliver Leiser, Milton Clarke, Bernice Johnson, Kay Hol-lingsworth, Kendrick Prazee, Rosa Stewart and two Normal students, Winifred Krieter and Marshall Bacon. The play will run until Saturday night at the playhouse on Prospect street. The performances start promtly at 8:15 p. m. Tickets may be purchased at the box office before each performance. o Biery New Prexy For Girls' Chorus Dance Informal Date Announced Marge Osier Selected Chairman; Four Committees Arranged By Students .

Hail President Lund The Viking staff takes this opportunity to salute the fifth woman ever elected to the presidency of the Associated Student organization in the school, Florence Lund, "first lady" of BeUingham Normal. In the 37 years since this school first opened its doors only five women have headed the student association. Perhaps it is because few women before this time have shown sufficient executive ability, clearheadedness, and sincerity of purpose to warrant their election to this position, or gained the confidence and the respect of their fellow students to the extent of being chosen by them to hold the most important student office in the school. Perhaps it is because the women have never before made a concerted effort to put their kind "on the map". Whatever the reason may be for this action, we may be assured that this organization shall follow a straight, sane course so long as President Lund is at its helm. gt; 'Ear Ye! Ezio Pinza's mellow, beautifully-controlled basso profundo fell pleasingly upon a large congregation of appreciative ears last night, a goodly number of which, gratifyingly enough, were attached to Normal students. It may not as yet be entirely clear to all that a certain amount is taken from the Associated Student fee, paid by every student in attendance at Normal, for these Civic Music concerts. That is to say, you pay whether you attend or whether you stay home and listen to Bing Crosby or do a little quiet reading in "True Confessions". But it seems that in spite of everything there are always those who say, "I wouldn't pay a wooden nickel to hear that" and then spend the evening playing a slot machine.

McConnell Do the profs like you? Are they more than dutifully polite to you? If they aren't, ask yourself this question, "Do I genuinely and sincerely like the profs, and do I show it normally? Most commentators blame the individual for his own unpopularity. That is well, because if it were within the profs, you couldn't do very much about it. However, if the trouble is within you, something less than a surgical operation will probably correct your maladjustment. Here is the magic formula: cultivate a pleasure within yourself for association with your teachers, and act normally. Pleasure comes from social intercourse by interesting one's self In the teachers and the subjects that they teach. Next, you must act natural. You do act, consciously or unconsciously. Through intent concentration, much of your unconscious behavior can become conscious behavior, and controllable. By reflecting upon every act and evaluating it in terms of good or bad behavior determinable by the reactions of the profs, you can gradually eliminate the undesirable behavior, leaving a charming personality. In general, profs are gentle and human. They are no longer the stern and violent tempered chastis-ers of yesteryear, for the old-time "leaky boilers" have disappeared from our schools. Yet, our respected profs of today do resent insincere friendliness on the part of students, otherwise known as "apple-polishing." Dear Mama Dear Mama: Let me to instructing you how most gentle art of terpsichory are progressing with me. I are in Big Gym on those Tuseday and Thursday nights, and lifting up by boot straps on tip of toes then marching same as feather. Then I having slight troubles.

According to word received from Port Townsend, LEO LANGE has quite a reputation as a heart-breaker. It seems that the local girls have organized a man haters' club since his departure. Don't worry, Leo, they don't have such- a club in this school. A request came over the radio the other night for "You Turned the Tables On Me," for BUD from BETTY. Well! Well!

BELLINGHAM. WASHINGTON THE RANGERS ARE COMING! THE VIKINGS ARE WAITING! •Looking It Over By Nelson A squad oi severely beaten Gon-saga Bulldogs went howlinf homeward after their encounter with the Vlldnf criddera last Saturday nifht. ' Th* ©onsaga Frosh team, reputed to mvre held their own varsity team at bay during a practice game, practically wilted before the vicious onslaught of the Norsemen tribe. BRAIN OVER BRAWN It was fust another case of brain over brawn, where an experience^, Well-drilled group of players outwit-teii their heavier opponents. Viking superiority was proved, by their accurate passing, hard blocking, and speedy running. Conzaga had Weight, but they were sadly inexperienced. Claypoole seems to have a marvelous ability for clinching the passes, judging from the last game, With Chorvat tossing and Claypoole receiving, a pass is automatically complete. GET ACQUAINTED If you havent noticed the "Know Your Players" column, on the opposite side of the page, take a look at it now. This column was instituted to an effort to acquaint the students with the Viking gridders. P.S. It has been rumored that girls of the school studied this column last year, in an effort to decide upon a football hero for themselves. Not a bad idea, it might help some as far as the players' former achievements are concerned OBITUARY NOTICE Somewhere on Ballersby field, near the 40-yard line, a lone Conzaga pigskinner met his end (probably a Viking end) (dumb pun.) It happened this way. Conzaga fumbled, one of their own men recovered and was immediately piled by members of both teams, at least that is what it looked, like to the announcer and the audience. However, when the Vikings and the Bulldogs had been pulled loose, and the smoke of battle had cleared away, a Viking was in possession of the ball I realize that possession is nine points of the law, but where m heck did that poor Bulldog get off? Thai's your problem. o Vikings in Mix Against Heavy Ranger Squad Both Elevens Evenly Matched In First Meeting of Schools In 1 wo Falls Chorvat Plays Flawless Game To Lead Vikings in Smashing Win Over Conzaga Freshmen • • • • Know Your Players Joe Paglia fiery Catholic mentor brings his St. Martins College gridders to town tomorrow night for their initial clash with Bellingham Normal Vikings at Battersby field, at 8 o'clock. Boasting a powerful aggregation of ball players, including a 200-lb. line, and a 175-lb. backfield, the Rangers will be out in an attempt to repeat their 1934 victory over the Vikings. Last year the'two teams did not meet. "Tiny" Schauman, 255 lb. giant, who was formerly all city center on a Chicago high school eleven, and Hansen, 205 lb., one of Sweden's contribution to the football world are the two mainstays of the heavy line. "A couple of babies that can really hit," declares Coach Lappenbusch of the Vikings, who has high praise for these boys. In two games this year the Rangers have defeated the Alt Heidleberg squad of the city league in Tacoma 14 to 0, and held the strong Pacific Lutheran college to a scoreless tie. The Lutherans, it is recalled, recently beat the Ellensburg Wildcats 6 to 0. The Vikings record on the other hand shows a couple of decisive victories: a win over the Itrlian Athletic club of Seattle by a score of 32 to 7, and one over the Gonzaga college frosh 19 to 7. This gives them a total of 51 points scored against their opponents 14. The Gonzaga clash left its toll, as Dzurich, quarterback, and Smith, end, received knee injuries, Setzer a sore jaw, and Krueger, an inflation on his profile. Krueger and Setzer have recovered, however, but Clifton will probably be used in Dzurich's place, and Claypoole, whose pass receiving was quite "sweet" in the Gonzaga game, will take Smith's place. Local fans clamoring for action should enjoy a treat tomorrow night when the Vikings match their speed against the weight of the invaders The probabe starting lineups: • • • Out on Waldo field, Coach Charles Lappenbusch has turning out every night probably the greatest team that ever trod on a Normal gridiron. For the purpose of getting better acquainted with these fellows who are bringing fame to the school, this column is dedicated. * * * * # \ CHET ULLIN, a. ^185-pound lad who hails from Centralia high, plays guard for the Vikings. Ullin is a three year letterman and is largely responsible for the Norsemen's impregnable defense. Ullin can usually be found working in the Co-op and flaunts number 14 on the gridiron. * * * * * GEORGE MILLS, a 185-pound halfback, hails from Marion high school in Indiana. This Hoosier lad was all-state halfback and a letter-winner at the Indiana university. He wears number 31 and can usually be located at Daniels hall. * * * * * CAPTAIN ED TOMCO needs no introduction to old Viking fans. Tomco weighs 185 pounds and is a graduate of Roosevelt high school in Seattle. The big fellow plays center and often gets in the opponents' hair by dragging down a pass intended for an opposing end or halfback. Tomco caters to number 44 ,and also to Miss Longley over in Edens hall. * * * * * FRITZ CHORVAT is a name that Krueger Makes Dazzling Run of Eighty-Three Yards for Third Score Bulldogs Register Tally Visitors Score Touchdown Late In Second Quarter To Frite Chorvat, the much-heralded Gonzaga Frosh were just another football team, as the lad from the Windy city led the Vikings to a riotous 19-7 victory over the Bulldogs last Saturday night at Battersby field. Shortly after the opening kickoff, the Vikings secured the ball on an exchange of punts. Inside of three plays with "Terror" Tarte doing the heavy work, the Vikings had secured a first down. Krueger, on a fake reverse, added eight more yards. Chorvat, breaking through the line, dashed through the entire Bulldog team on a fifty-yard scamper down the fields. Chorvat was flanked on both sides by Viking blockers who cut down their men in rapid succession. Dzurich failed to convert. Vikings—6; Gonzaga—0. Kreuger Runs 80 Yards On probably the longest run yet to be seen on Battersby field this season, Fred Krueger took the ball on his own 17-yard line, cut through tackle, was stopped momentarily by the secondary, shook loose and then slithered and sidestepped his way through clutching hands for an 83- yard gallop to pay dirt. Dzurich failed to convert. Vikings—12; Gonzaga—0. Gonzaga Scores In the second quarter, Nagrodski allowed Shimkus's punt to roll to the 1-yard line. Clifton punted to the Viking's 27. Jacobsen, Bulldog back, went around end for 10 yards. Zumwalt added two more. A penalty for unnecessary roughness added 15 yards to the Frosh march. Twice the Norse forward wall broke through to smear the Gonzagans for losses, then Jacobsen skirted end for a touchdown. Lange was hurt Vikings Rangers Kvinsland L.E Jundel Claypoole R.E Shaw Kinderman R.T Hanosn Bengston R.T Schauman Maski L.G Gillis Wahl R.G Carpenter Tomco C Busko Clifton Q.B Peterson Krueger L.H.B Sweeney Chorvat R.H.B Abbot Tarte F.B Mars ci Kidder Makes Low Score In Opening Play on the play and was carried from the field. Jacobsen's conversion was good. Vikings—12; Gonzaga—7. Chorvat Scores Alain In the third quarter, Bengstine blocked Sherwood's punt on the Gonzaga 21-yard line. In two plays the ball was advanced to the 14. Clifton fumbled and the Frosh recovered. On Gonzaga's first play, the slippery pigskin squirted out of Jacobsen's arms and rolled to the 2-yard^ marker, being recovered by Chorvat. A few seconds later Chorvat cut through the center of the line for his second touchdown of the game. Dzurich's kick was good. Vikings—19; Gonzaga—7. During the final quarter, the Norsemen kept hammering away at the Gonzaga's doorstep but were unable to score. Passes from Chorvat and Nagrodski to Claypoole began to click in rapid succession. The big end was on the receiving end of five passes. The Vikings made nine first downs to four for the Frosh and completed seven out of seventeen passes, while the Bulldogs completed one in five.

Also Tm not used to rain," was the reply Miss Evelyn Rupert, diminutive Physical Education instructor for women, made when asked what she thought of Bellingham and the country surrounding it. Miss Rupert was born and reared in the town of Vandergrift, Pennsylvania, until she went to Ohio State at Columbus, Ohio, where she received the degree of Bachelor of Science in Education.. After graduation Miss Rupert taught in Ohio State until she came here. She admits teaching here is a great deal different because of the difference between a registration of 15000 students and 750. Miss Rupert hadn't traveled until she journeyed westward, but now that she is this far it is her desire to continue further and visit the Hawaiian Islands and Alaska.

Different tools were named and their uses demonstrated. The proper handling and care of the tools Was especially stressed. The children showed things they had made from wood. Rhythm in the use of the various implements— the saw, the hammer, the brace and bit—was illustrated to the accompaniment of the victrola. The third grade works in many other mediums besides wood, but wood was chosen for the theme of this assembly because of the increased use of this material made possible by their new work room. The former typing room for student teachers, room 40, has been converted into a room for the children's lunch, work and rest periods. Last week's assembly was presented by the fourth grade children, under the direction of Miss Pearl Merriman, their teacher. Stories of the early history of Bellingham were told by members of the class who were chosen by the rest of the group. Pictures made by the children, illustrating the different stories, were shown. The fourth grade is making hooked mats, and plans to make a book, illustrating with linoleum prints, in connection with this project.

Hicks On my summer tour of books and recreation I pause at Victoria, the old English city of North America. Princess Louise stands there beckoning with her many flags to help complete the beautiful boat-flecked harbor of Victoria. Reaching down to the wharf the grandeur of Victoria greets you. The gang-plank carries one into full view of the harbor stadium. (Wouldn't I like to be there on evenings when the chorus and bands meet for their concerts over the water!!!) To the right are the parliament buildings •with their, flower-lined lawns, statutes arid fountain: The murals of Captain Cook and other early pioneers decorate the walls of the large corridor. It was after 11:00, so to get to"the senate room before noon meant that I must,go at once. On reaching the senate room which was completely carpeted with huge blue plush rugs, we, host of Arntzen followers, were reminded of the familiar phrase, "left and right wingers'. And did -you have a chance to see the relics of the good ship "Beaver", one of the first on the Pacific coast, and the many other things of interest in the archives of the parliament building? • * » c * I, too, would like a couple of days to see the museum' exhibits. First time I can catch a ferry I shall head directly for those Butchart gardens. "Heavenly" is the way most people have described them for me. Well, my partner and I covered miles in that last hour and then waved farewell with only half our plans realized. Thanks to the recreational committee and to our reliable weather prophet, we had a jolly fine time. • * • * * Two-hundred-eighty-three people of the U. S., motorists, gathered for "The Great Round-up of the Skies" last July Fourth. Do you realize that is an average of six people per state? Washington won a notable record in this regard as we motored safely through the day without a fatality. * » » » « One World War veteran should be given a big hand for the precedent established. I understand that he sent his bonus to the commission for International Peace. It is a proven fact that advertising pays. No doubt the peace commission can use'the price of a great number of bonuses to picture the values of world peace, and if this man's few dollars is.the instrument that will prevent an early break in family ties, I'm sure that he will feel well repaid. * • • * * * I would tell you how to do those tricks of magic of the recent assembly but you have those already figured out?

The play was written and the stage settings and costumes were designed by Miss Eaton. Nine puppets were used. She impersonated five voices and her brother, six. A glimpse into the strange fairyland of FoOzeleum, with the "Ali-gator Bird", really an enchanted Duchess, was the theme of the show. . In reviewing the past NEA convention, Dr. E, A. Bond, Belling-ham Normal's official delegate, considered the panel discussion on education and democracy the most noteworthy. This meeting was opened by Commissioner of Education Dr. Studebaker. Speaking on the necessity for academic freedom Dr. Studebaker stated: "Schools should be free to study any system of government and its working. To withhold facts is not education." Youth Unchanged On attitudes of students, President Bruce Baxter of Willamette university gave an address, mentioning in particular the desirable qualities in young people. With this in mind Mr. Baxter read a passage from an NEA report Of 1904 lamenting the lack of desirable traits of young people in that day. Smilingly, President Baxter said: "Prom this group you came and left tb.e impression that the youth were not superior to those of today." Perfection Bather Than Expansion Stressing the fact that American education is entering a phase of perfecting itself rather than of spending its energies Upon expansion, the convention drew comment from the . Portland Oregonian. "This conservative paper", Dr. Bond says, "disbelieves in the value of the loyalty oaths now on the statute books of 19 states, as they are an example of what legislation might do to the educational system". The main thought brought from the Portland meeting was departure from the present day movement toward gagging teachers and casting pupils into set molds. ^o— One Act Play Will Be Given By Dramatists 'The Valiant* to Be Presented By Former Outstanding .

Speeches Are Given By Normal Teachers •-.At NEA Conference Faculty delegates to the NEA 'convention held in Portland, Ore., last week were: Florence Johnson, dean of women; Leona Sundquist and Ruth Piatt of the Science department; Dr. E. A. Bond of the Mathematics department; Irene Elliott, and Elsie Wendling of the Training school; Lucy Kangley of the English department; Hazel Plympton, of the Art department; Ruth Weythman of the Physical Education department; Nora Cummins of the Social Science depart^ ment; and Herbert C. Ruckmick of the Industrial Arts department. Among the addresses given was one by Miss Kangley who spoke on June 29 in the First Christian church at the National Council of Teachers of English. She chose as her subject, "An Approach to Poetry Appreciation." Dr. Bond represented the Normal at the convention and spoke on the subject of "Present Trends in the Teaching of Arithemetic." "Arithmetic is a coherent, unified science rather than a multiplicity of details. The thread of unity that runs through the whole science should' be recognised at every- step. This is best done by relating facts to experiences," stated Dr. Bond. By Elmer Lindquist With greetings by many dignitaries, the Pacific Northwest Institute of International Relations opened their Id-day conference Monday morning at Reed college, Portland, Oregon. The greetings were rendered by Mr. Estes Snedecor, chairman of 'the institute; Pres.

Military Training or Not Probably the most significant occurence in today's news was an article issued by the American Institute of Public Opinion concerning the Civilian conservation Corps. This bureau conducted a nation-wide poll with the purpose of discerning the public's attitude toward the CCC, Franklin D. Roosevelt's pet New Deal project. The startling* factor in the compilation, directed by Dr. George Gallup of New York City, was not the fact that a majority of voters wished to continue the CCC but rather that an overwhelming part of the voters favored the addition of military training to the men's duties. The actual figures are shown below: Yes No Women -74% 26% Farmers 77 23 Reliefers 78 22 Young People 68 32 College Students 59 41 These results are a revelation to many people who have imagined that the pacifists were firmly entrenched in. our American governmentt It might be well for whose who favor military training in the CCC camps to think further than the • fact that 250,000 men would be added to the standing army. If such an addition of military instruction is carried out, no longer will we be able to scoff at Hitler's militaristic policy or look askance at Mussolini's antagonistic course. It would destroy any benefit derived from the consultations with diplomatic heads of other nations concerning disarmament plans. It would signify our intention of keeping pace with . Germany and Italy and setting the pace for Great Britain, France, and Japan. And most important, it would lower the whole standard upon which our democratic government is based. Can this be the opinion of the people at large? o OUR SOCIAL STUDY GROUP SOMETHING NEW? And friends were glad to call around You greeted with a smile, And friends were glad to call around To stay with me awhile. But lately life has taken on An aspect queer and strange And everybody wonders what Has brought about the change For, I mumble and I mutter As I stroll upon the street And erstwhile friends pass quickly by If we by chance should meet. My eyes are dull and vacant and My mind is in a fog. My voice resembles very much The croaking of a frog. I know you all are wondering Just how this came about, I'll tell you all the secret, But please don't let it out. For really I'm as happy As a baby with the croup, For I'm getting educated in Our Social Study Group. Track, football, and baseball teams have driven their respective ways to either glorious victory or inglorious defeat, many times depending upon the number of the much-needed supporters present in the time-worn stands pictured here— Only too often has that number been not numerous enough to mention. But not only for athletic events has this structure been made use of— Tis said that several times a certain Eveready about school has been focused upon those who chose its idyllic haunts in preference to Sehome or Sunset Heights. Those to his own choosing, so what? Point of View By Harlan Jones In which we attempt to coerce the perogatives of Dante's Inferno as brick-bats to thrust down the craw of the public mind to help masticate some of the illy digested figments of Utopia and Messiahs which ever return to haunt the folk that have too little sand in their Intellectual gizzards. You tell 'em. Being on the spot as you remember, this column is muttering in its heard trying desperately at the last moment to coin a slogan that will save the world for democracy. However, since "Point of View" is much too immersed in water much too deep to have time to aspire for political office this fall, we shall try to be terse. Having dwelt on the third dimen~- sion of human nature, the political idealism of the Football-cast and the PWA scrubs, and this man Ka-gawa, we should like to take a slant at Co-operation. The Bellingham Egg Co-op just makes it tough for the widow with the hen house on the shores of Lake Carnegie. Her Rhode Island Reds hardly have room to cluck on the open market. Good in Bellingham? Yes. Partly a good thing. In Denmark the country villages can paint their roof-trees with the money their producers' co-ops have paid them. Japan, with the help of Kakawa's hundred popular books on co-operatives, which attach themselves to the public mind much as did Tolstoy's, whom he studied. Such as "Grains of Wheat". They have consumer stores. Each member buying his food, or his $1.85 work suit having one vote. Not so in an American corporation for here, where the controlling money lies, so does the vote. Each member there, has a speaking part, but getting back at the end of the month a proportion of what amount he buys. Do you recognize the Grange gas and oil setup? of American democracy. Why not fill the gap of bankruptcy and lack of purchasing power with co-operative stores, and so give the "Civil Liberties League" a break politically? There are very strange bedfellows in this election. —Selected Musing You have probably heard about the consumer of tooth paste who thought the manufacturers put too much moisture in dentifrices. To prove his idea he went into manufacturing and really did produce a tooth paste without any excess moisture in it. But a pair of plyers was needed to get the paste out. We don't know if he is, as yet, convinced that manufacturers of dentifrices make tooth paste moist for a better reason than deception. But we of the teaching profession believe that we had better instill a little more humor into our intellectual students so that future generations can make use of them without getting a sledge hammer to uncover the prodigy's mind. Book Shelf POETRY OF TODAY, by Rosa M. R. Mikels and Grace Shoup; Charles Scribner's Sons. Reviewed by Glen O. Greseth. This is the ariswer to the desire of thousands of poetry lovers to have a pocket-sized anthology of contemporary verse. The selections in "Poetry of Today" are admirably chosen to bring out the adventuring spirit of modern poetry. There are poems'about "excavations, cabbages, tea, skyscrapers, automobiles, and Saturday-night crowds in large cities, blossoms; rivers, sunsets, mountains, and sea-themes that have always appealed to poets; and the age-old problem of love and life." There are poems for all the moods of a sentimentalist on a fishing trip. If he sits buried in retrospection, he will find expression in "Birches" by Robert Frost or the light-hearted reminiscences expressed in "Little Boy Blue" by Eugene Field. If he seeks expression for the beauty of nature let him read "May is Building her House" by Richard Le Gal-lienne or ---------- Northwest Viking - 1936 July 10 - Page 3 ---------- WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM. WASHINGTON Racqueteers To Play Off Games Bodminton and Archery Players Support Favorite Sports Enthusiastically "The tennis tournament schedule has been posted, stated to Miss Luell Weed of the Women's Physical Education department. "The second round matches to be played Monday are between Dohalda Grant and Inez Sjognen; Mary Morrow and May Dillon. One first round match has yet to be played off to determine the other players in the second round". Looking It Over Those eight lanky University of Washington oarsmen and their skipper, Bob Moch, deserve all the credit and publicity they are receiving. It is perhaps the finest crew Washington has ever produced; certainly their cox appears to be the best little admiral. And that's saying a lot, for Washington's crews are known wherever college oars sweep the water. We'll be wishing them all the breaks, and we'll be keeping our fingers crossed for them while they are in Berlin. Archery Popular The enthusiasm expressed by the large number signing up for Archery, Thursday, at 4:00 o'cock has pleased Miss Ruth Weythman of the Physical Education department. Badminton Added Of the Wednesday afternoon sports at 4:00, Miss Weed related, *There was a small but enthusiastic group out for volley ball. No one turned out for baseball. However", Miss Weed continued, "another sport, badminton, was played upon the demand of a group." All bad-} minton enthusiasts are welcome it they furnisft their own birds. They can be bought at the Co-op". According to Miss Weythman of the same department badminton as a sport has increased in popularity at a tremendous rate in the last eight years. Eight years ago there were no teams, at the Normal but now there is a class devoted to teaching the rules and techniques of the game. One of those voices that you heard over CBS last Sunday afternoon had more than a passing interest in the outcome of the crew race. It was none other than Royal Brougham, sports editor for the Seattle PI, making a national name for himself as a radio announcer for the Columbia system. After all, (what is more fitting than that a | sports writer from our own state should announce the victory of a Washington crew? They say that when Washington began to put on the power they gained the space of a man with each stroke of the oars. Your sports editor does not want anyone to fail in his studies, yet he cannot help noting an observed human phenomenon. The day is Wednesday, the time 4:30 in the afternoon, the sky is clear, the weather is not too hot. A much used room in the library is filled to overflowing with Normal school students reading books and taking down notes. Yet near that library are playing fields where softball, volleyball, tennis, and numerous other sports could be enjoyed by those people who are so studiously trying to remember what someone else has written. With such a fine recreational program why study so hard? Of course, everyone knows by now who won the Wimbledon in tennis. But.it is not too late to give Helen Jacobs another big hand for winning that championship. It's a tough, hard grind, all the way to the top. Lappenbusch Plans Invasion Of University Basketball Gym; Return Bout on Local Floor With the WAA Of her badminton class Miss Weed told, "Some fast playing may be seen any morning at 9:00 o'clock in the gym. The class is in the midst of an interesting round robin tournament". Badminton was introduced from India to England around 1873, thence to Canada and the United States. Howdy, WAAers—Art you still WAAing? Do you get your cold shower every morning? Do you Walk five miles every day? (Musi keep that figure down.)

Well, after all, it isnt every month that a great orchestra leader and composer like I sham Jones graces Bellingham with his presence. Isnt that a good reason to-look and feel right ? What.' You re not going? You say you cant go on all these hikes and trips and expect to have money or for your boy friends to have enough ('scuse me, 1 thought WAAers didn't have boy friends) for a dance as expensive as that. I dont blame you too much, as these hikes and trips are keeping me badly bent, too. But isnt a dance exercise? Well, fight it out for yourself. If you ever run out of anything to do, all you athletes, let me tell you of a sport that will fascinate you. Once you get yourself involved you won't be able to give up until 'you absolutely have to announce yourself as licked, and one of Ted Shane's cockeyed crossword puzzles in Liberty surely can do it. Or are you one of those master minds no puzzle can lick? Anyway who cares? When a person has to talk about crossword puzzles on a sport page he had better quit, so I am. School Golf Team Accepts Challenge It will be a first come first place, in the tryouts for the golf team to play the University of Washington team, according to a statement from Coach Chuck Lappenbusch this week. The team will consist of six men. All golfers are urged to report to the coach as soon as possible so that the tryouts can take place right away. The ladder system will be used to pick the six best men to represent the school. "The first man to report will have his name placed at the top of the ladder" said Coach Lappenbusch. "A man can challenge either of the two men directly above him". o Jon High Defeats Carnival Mat-Men Hammett's Hams, Tomco's Tomcats Lead Intramural Basketball First Series Keppler Leads Scoring All Members Kitten Team Score; Second Series Started Jon High, 190-pound junior of WSNS, matched his grappling skill with the carnival mat-men Wednesday night to win two and break even on the third of three consecutive matches. After answering the usual challenge and agreeing to pay his own doctor bill, High entered the *ing for seven minutes of catch as catch can with polished Billy Newman This match resulted in a draw. The two men drew another crowd and did it over again. High won this one with a series of body slams. Then he was pitted against George Kelly, a 200-pounder, but downed Kelley too in less than six ininutes of the scheduled eight minute handicap. o — Outstanding basketball players chosen from the four intramural teams will invade Husky territory, Tuesday, July 14, to play the University of Washington varsity team, according to an announce* ment by Coach Lappenbusch.

New Catalog Is Distributed Fisher Points Out New Features Of Interest in Pamphlet for 1936-37 Grade Children Reveal Interest Bushell Trio Offers Musical Selections A musical program featuring the Bushell trio was given in assembly this morning. The trio consists of Arthur Thai, well-known local violinist, and Edith R. Strange and Donald Bushell, members of the Normal school music faculty, who gave an arrangement of selections chosen for their pleasing melodies. Among the outstanding numbers were the last three movements of the Arensky melody, and sentimental sketches by Mason. Daniel Gregory Mason, according to Mr. Bushell, is famous for his writings on music as well as for his compositions. Barbara Kennedy of Beverly Hall has accepted a position as camp councillor for the Girl Scout Camp at Lost Lake, Elma. She left- Thursday to take up her new duties which will last throughout the summer camping season. Announcing the arrival of the new catalogue which has just come from the printers, President C. H. Fisher described some of the new features which will add to the interest and information of the book. Under the head of general education there is a paragraph on courses for nurses. "Beginning with the au-for nurses. "Beginning with the au-pursue a course in nursing will be required by the State Department of licenses to have one year of college work before they will be allowed in an accredited school for nurses. Courses in anatomy, physiology, bacteriology, hygiene, and nursing education totaling 23 quarter hour credits will be required. The State Normal school at Bell-ingham has been authorized to offer this work and will enroll students beginning in the autumn of 1936, according to the catalogue. "There is also a revision of courses for teacher librarians that brings these courses up to date, according to the standard set by the American Library association", Fisher commented. o Isham Jones to Play Under Curtis Auspices At State Armory Today Isham Jones and his orchestra, famous on the screen and known to all radio listeners, will be at the State Armory tonight. This appearance is sponsored by Jay Curtis, local orchestra leader, who has brought many famous dance bands to Bellingham the past few years. Jones and his boys have played in such leading hotels as the Ambassador in Atlantic City and the Ritz- Carlton in the famous New- Jersey shore resort. "I'll See You in My Dreams", "It Had to Be You", "Spain", "Indiana Moon", "If You Were Only Mine", "I Can't Believe It's True", and "Let's Try Again" are some of the popular tunes Isham Jones has composed. In addition, the recordings of this orchestra are extremely popular. InM agic Lore Audience Mystified by Oranges, Bunnies Drawn, Apparently, From the Air Older Students Skeptical Second Grader Believes Jones Member of Troupe "Are those oranges real?" "Was that a magic bunny?" were some of the questions of the primary training school children after they visited the Friday morning assembly at which Paul Fleming entertained with magic. The first grade child who received an orange from Mr. Fleming felt it, turned it over, and Wouldn't believe it was real until it was opened and the real juice came out. The children in the kindergarten were proud of their representative who was an assistant to Mr. Fleming, but they couldn't imagine how the rabbit was concealed in the little boy's sweater. After a discussion of magic in the second grade, the children put the following statement in their newspaper, "The magician's hands moved so much faster than we could see, so it seemed it was magic really". Another second grade child asked if Harlan Jones were one of the magician's troupe. Third, fourth, and fifth graders expressed curiosity about the magic, but one fifth grade girl said, "I don't believe a bit of it. It really isn't magic". The upper grades took balcony seats from which they could see much of the wiring and use of properties. o Local Normal Student Northwest Indian Queen Librarian Gets Testing Bulletin New Publication Aids Students; Plans for Examinations Are Given "Standard Testing and Remedial Work", a new bulletin compiled by Miss Jeannette Donaldson, supervisor, upper grades and junior high school of the State Department of Instruction, has been received by "Miss Mabel Zoe Wilson, librarian. It is Miss Wilson's opinion that this bulletin offers much worthwhile material for the teacher, and that Miss Donaldson should be praised for her organization. A standard testing plan, a remedial program, and information on the new plan for state examinations in the elementary schools are all considered in this bulletin. Some of the more specific items included are: "The General Principles and Points of View"; "The Necessity of Pupil Guidance"; '"The Favorable Outcomes of the Standard Testing Plan'; "Acceleration and Retardation"; "The Elementary Library and the Remedial Program"; and "Pro cedures Helpful in Reducing Pupil Failures". Miss Donaldson also gives reading references and aids for professional use.

Ewe's hoping it holds... We might get around that corner yet. v'Have yon heard about the brand new inflation?.. If not, you will find that the farmers can tell you. For once something concerns them. Isn't it about time?: Farm inflation involves devaluation of the gold content of th* dollar 50% and giving the president additional authority to fix the. gold-silver ratio at his own discretion; We hope it will be a fixed ratio and enthusiastically advocate; the unlimited coinage of silver...

Because of the fact that many of the students interested in tennis will not be here the entire season, a special fee of 50c is offered, allowing the normal students the privilege of associate membership in the club. The details can be learned by seeing Bill Fisher or by reading the announcement on the bulletin board. Training School Considered Harriet Rickerson was asked to confer with Miss Mary Rich about the training school's tennis court privileges. . Bert Gallanger, John Christy, Otto Finley and Dr. E. A. Bond who compose the picnic committee, announced that the picnic would be held at Loganita Lodge on Lurhmi island, Saturday, May 6, instead of May 13, as the Thespian club will be there at that time.

Imagine if you can, Lefty Lewis squirming around with a wild fire hose in the hands of Otto Finley—or will it be just the reverse? At any rate we are glad that the eminent gentlemen concerned in this battle with Poseidon's weapons "ain't us". Bert Sybrant, chief of the fire department, is taking a big chance when he lets a fire engine loose with two boys such as these, vand we are taking this opportunity of letting the fire department know that we disclaim any responsiblity for their 'five-ton toy'. After these boys have had their fun what will be left—or will there be. Hospital Is Available Hospital facilities are available, and arrangements have been made to take care of all those who are expected to collapse during the day and at the dance. Among those expected to be listed among the casualties are: Chet Partis, as the remains of the W club smoker, if he can be induced to fight at all. Ray Sulkosky, too much physical work for his chronological age (sweeping tennis courts). Lew Lovegren, emotional breakdown after singing "Please" in afternoon . assembly.- Prexy, breakdown caused by bending over too far while working on tennis courts. Will you be among those present (at the dance, not the hospital), or will you be a nervous wreck?

The boys have been practicing diligently and have their acts well prepared. If you are interested in finding out things about yourself that you never knew before, then don't miss attending the "College Bull Session", for students from the timidest frosh to his big shot brothers are having their pasts delved into. Sulkosky and Sinko, assisted by the entire chorus of W club troupers, will give a rendition of the follies a la Flo Ziegfield. This act consists of a Polish song and dance number that will elevate these hitherto unknown troupers to undreamed-of heights of fame.

HAS MEETING Many Foreign Affairs Discussed by Student Members Various foreign affairs were discussed at the regular ---------- Northwest Viking - 1933 May 5 - Page 3 ---------- WASffiNCTTTW S T V^ By BOB LINDSLEY "Us a time of rumors now, folks. Rumors and more rumors. I mean about the new football coach, who incidentally is not only to be football mentor but also will have charge of basketball, track, and baseball. In other words, he will have to know a lot about everything. While reading the Herald the other night I saw that our old friend Swede Anderson is being mentioned for the coaching job. It would seem like old times to have Swede around again and in view of his success with his teams at Whatcom, I believe t h a t he would probably be successful here. However, Swede is practically a one-sport man and it is a question whether he has had enough experience in other sports to qualify for the job here. ***** ! I haven't heard ; anyone congratulating Schlilaty, **)Stiger, D e l a n cy and the rest of the boys for the t"splendid .. f i g h t they, put up in the., recent., relay carnival at Taco-ma... Maybe they haven't heard how Schlilaty ran in just about all the relays down there besides the special century event, and how close he came to winning them against terrific odds. Also Stiger deserves a vote of praise for the race he ran in the 4-mile relay... It was the first time he ever ran the mile in competition, and what a race he ran. ***** And then there was Bob Delancey who ran the 440 with the blood trickling out of a couple of spike holes in his foot. That takes a lot of nerve. If you don't believe it, try it some time and we'll come out and pick you up in a stretcher. Let's congratulate these boys, and the others too, because they certainly deserve it. ***** Now that the first half of the intramural soft-ball league is over, the teams can all start off with a clean slate again and attempt to go through the five game schedule without a defeat. ***** I t kind-of looks like the men of Hammett might rule, but the Ten Pins, Kings, and the others don't seem to think as I do. Anyway it's bound to be a close race, and may the best team win. ***** VIKINGSJOTRAVEL Normal Track Team Will Meet Freshmen at Seattle G. P. S. TO MEET VIKING TRACK SQUAD SATURDAY AFTERNOON ON WALDO FIELD Dual Meet Will Start at 2:00 p. m. The College of Puget Sound track team will meet the Viking squad at 2 o'clock tomorrow on Waldo field. Recently the Loggers defeated the Bellingham and Ellensburg Normals in a relay carnival held at Tacoma. The dual affair Saturday will be the first opportunity for the Normal students to view their team in competition. According to the dope sheet, the college will defeat the Vikings by a fair,margin. A summary based on past efforts of the two track teams and marks made by individuals show that the Loggers are slated to win nine firsts. Schlilaty Slated to Win ... The 100- and 200-yard dashes are booked to be won by Walt Schlilaty of the Vikings with Bates and Doty of C. P. S. running close behind, with Thomas of Bellingham. Brink-man, Viking veteran, will probably win the two mile, while the mile run is doubtful. However, a C. P. S. man is favored to take the event. The high and low hurdles look like two firsts for the boys from Tacoma. The pole vault will be one of the most interesting and closely competed events of the day, as both Flowers of Normal and Severson of C. P. S., have vaulted over twelve feet, with Davey Jones and McCon-nell close behind. Carlson Is Star The field events are slated to be won by the Loggers with Carlson of C. P. a. copping the javelin, shot and discus. However, Normal will probably, pick up seconds in the javelin and shot, while the discus is doubtful. C. P. S. also looks best in the 440- and 880-yard runs with the Vikings running second. The broad jump is booked to be taken by Gable of Bellingham with the high jump going to Piety of C. P. S. o MEL DRANGA BRINGS TROUPE OF PLAYERS Classy Tennis Stars of, State Appear in Matches to VIKING TENNIS STARS PLAY FROSH MAY 13 Willy Houghton to Tangle With "Pal" Rosenberg A week from tomorrow, the U of W frosh will come to Bellingham to crack racquets with the j local tennis players in a duel that promises to. be productive of some classy matches. Rosenburg, a lanky Tacoma lad who recently won the all-university championship, will probably tangle *^with Willy Houghton in the feature match of the afternoon. This scrap -will most surely give the local fans a look a t one of the best tennis players ' t h a t will be seen in Bellingham this season. Houghton claims he will » give "Rosey" a better run than he ' d i d in Seattle where he managed to win only'four games. '.;.'.-* The frosh wiH bring five men, all K of whom will play singles.

', y:- ; gt; \ i ,L ,;„.^- Mel Dranga, the State of Washington's ranking number one tennis player, will come to the Normal school courts from Seattle this Sunday afternoon to lecture on tennis and put on a number of exhibition matches. Dranga will be accompanied by three other outstanding Seattle players whom he will use to demonstrate strokes and who will perform with him in the exhibition matches. Because these matches will take place on the school courts, Normal school students with student body tickets will be admitted for ten cents while the general public will be charged fifteen cents or more. An unusual amount of interest has been shown among Normal school students this year in tennis and these matches will help stimulate their progress in the game and will give them invaluable knowledge about the correct execution of strokes. Dranga is brought here under the auspices of the Bellingham Tennis club. Advance information indicates that he will be on the courts for over two hours. The minimum admission price of ten cents is being charged so that the club can -meet, financial obligations to Mr. Dranga, who is asking-only enough- to cover his traveling expenses from Seattle. The matches probably will get under way about three o'clock; TENNIS MEN WIN Next Thursday at. the University of Washington stadium, the Viking track squad will compete in a dual cinder tilt with the Washington freshmen. Last year, a highly touted freshman team was expected to swamp the Vikings as in previous years. However, the Bellingham boys gave expected competition and the freshmen won by a small margin. This year Carver's lads hope to do the same, although not much is known about the strength of the frosh. This will be the last competition Normal faces until the big annual tri-Normal meet May 20, at Bellingham. KINGSUPsiTBUGKET TO DEFEAT GLORIES Intramural Leaders Lose Game Denton's Sluggers to As the English walloped the Spanish Armada, so the Kings humbled the heretofore invincibles in baseball, the Morning Glories. The 14 to 2 victory for the Kings slightly boomed their stock as there is now a tie for the first half championship. Pitcher Denton allowed two runs in the first inning on walks but then he settled down. Hammett's boys could neither hit nor field, many errors being charged against them. The victorious Kings got four runs in the first inning, one in the second and fourth, and eight as a sixth inning climax. McMahon starred for the winners with a homer. o TEN PINS WIN GAME Errors and Poor Playing Cause Wolves to Lose, 14 to 4 Carver Urges Students to Play in Ladder Tournaments "Competition in the ladder tournaments has not been moving along very fast," said Coach Sam Carver, last Wednesday aftenoon. "I believe that especially in the horseshoe ladder and also the tennis and handball ladders, many more challenges coul4 be played. As for golf, that is a little different because of the fact that the players have to go so far to play. Injthe others though, I think that a little more interest could be shown." Champions Hold Places Up to the present time three of the four champions of a month ago have been able to hold their places, namely Houghton, in tennis, Wise in handball, and Jensen in the horseshoe ladder. The top of the golf ladder has changed hands many times, having been held by McBeath, Lahtonen, Lindsley, and Miles who is on the top now. I n the tennis competition, Rork has defeated Fisher for second place and Wahl has won from. Lahtonen for the fifth slot, in the only changes that have been made in the first five positions. Stearns and Finley have pushed their way up from below to take their place in the first ten, along with Sherwood and Sather. Anson Advances In handball Anson has made the most advancement during the last month, having jumped from twelfth position to fourth. In the horseshoe ladder, Hammett, Forstrom, and L. Jones have been advancing toward the top with Shenenberger advancing toward the bottom. o GOLFERS TAKE LOSS The Viking golf team was decisively beaten by the University of Washington varsity golf in a match held last Thursday at Seattle. The final score was 16% to 1%, Lahtonen being the only man to win any points for the normal. The normal golfers were no match for the university boys on their own course, but when the return match is played up here, May 12, the contest will be a little closer, as the normal team will be playing on its home course. — o NOTICE TO NORMAL STUDENTS You Save Money at Newberry's Pure Silk Full Fashion Chiffon and Service.Weight HOSIERY 49c Pr. 1317 Cornwall Ave. Dependable Merchandise Morse Hardware Company Established 1884 Distributors of Wright Ditson GOLF SUPPLIES 1025 State St. PHONE 24 Vikings Win 4 of 7 Matches College of Paget Sound with The Viking tennis aces defeated the College of Puget Ebund's court artists by winning four out of seven matches, at Tacoma last Tuesday.

In the next few issues of this paper the space in this column will be devoted to the explanation and proposal of a co-operative finance plan for students in state financed institutions not having endowments. The right to grant a degree recently given to our school with many like schools throughout the country possessing the same right, together with low registration fees introduces two problems. — F i r s t - Education has been termed the "middle class accumulation of value which is most easily transferred to succeding generations". In the past this has been true. But education is being made possible for the sons of the lower class. Tendencies are all in that direction. What can be done to aid this movement, in order that a greater accumulation of. knowledge may be transferred to the coming generation? —Second— If education is made attainable for every member of the community, the unintelligent poor as well as the unintelligent rich, a large number of people nominally—and only nominally educated will be turned into the world. These unintelligent but in their own eyes "educated" people can wreak havoc with existing systems. How can the difficulty of educating the ignorant, being such a waste of time and effort, and resources be overcome? How can those who are intelligent enough to most economically transfer accumulated knowledge to succeeding generations, but »too poor to afford an education be enabled to go to school? Perhaps there is a solution. =—o • Oracles, Wise and Dirty We are certainly glad to see the discussion of football has come to be a barrage and counter-barrage of dirty cracks and disparaging remarks. The participants in this bloodless battle are the intelligent-ia and the simple but honest football players. We can easily keep score on them by marking the number and the acidity of the wise-cracks, and totalling for each side when the fight is over. Battling Hogan-the Irish wonder who is to tussle with Jim Stoddard in the coming smoker, was bragging over his massive chest the other night. If he ever got it caught out in the ozone it would take three men a throw apiece to get it back to its normal position. Is it not so? Taffy Haney Was looking appropriately pained over a "charlie-horse" she grabbed up on the top of Sky-line Ridge last Saturday. We can understand after having seen people with as much poise and dignity as Agnes Butler twisted and. wound into, the shape of a pretzel while conquering Mother Nature and the snow.

From that time until 1933 he has been coach. He is now director of athletics. v Gordon Richardson, editor of the 1934 Klipsun, stated: "In selecting Mr. Carver, we wish to pay tribute to his many years of service to Bel-lingham Normal. We are proud of his record as a coach. He has been more than a coach—he has been a friend and advisor to every student in school." Graduated from Normal Mr. Carver was graduated from this school in 1933. During his last year as a student he coached bas ketball. While a student at Normal Mr. Carver was a most outstanding player in football, basketball and baseball, and an enthusiastic participant in all branches of athletics. In 1913, Carver and Kick Hanley, now a well known coach at Northwestern University, played opposite ends on the football team. Carver Appointed Coach In 1913, Mr. Carver became coach of all athletics in this school. He has been athletic coach at this school from that time until last year, with the exception of one year when he was away on a leave of absence. ' Among his many other duties, Mr. Carver also acted as Dean of Men, before Mr. Marquis became a member of the faculty. In late years he has coached football, basketball, baseball, tennis, and golf. He is now director of physical education for men. o •- Normal school trustees will not be freed from the possibility of removal from office without recourse to a tribunal composed of three supreme court judges as originally proposed in bill number 73, now before the legislature. Only the regents of the University of Washington and the State College of Washington will be protected by this measure as amended by the House of Representatives last Wednesday evening. The measure was designed to fur- j ther remove the higher institutions of learning in this state from politics. It provides that regents could be ousted only for malfeasance or misconduct while in office. The amendment eliminating the Normal school trustees was introduced by Representative Charles I. Roth of Whatcom county. The original proposed appropriation of $411,000 additional funds to operate the University and State College during the coming biennium was reduced to $275,000 and accepted by the house at its Wednesday session. The money appropriated will be put into the governor's emergency fund. o WTA Gives Report Of Christmas Seals Prexy Tells Trustees Of $6,000 Cut School's Cash Balance is $48,090 With State Treasurer at Olympia TAX COLLECTIONS GOOD 600 In This State Given Employment With Better Wages Eleven Teachers Given Work in Overcrowded Schools in Bellingham Board Pledges Its Co-operation in Proposed Investigation Six thousand dollars have been saved during the first eight months' operation of the current biennium by the Bellingham Normal school according to the report which President C.

This program of creating jobs for unemployed teachers has been worked out by the department of public instruction and approved by Charles F. Ernst, state civil works service supervisor.

'• ' o » ' • .. Club Officers Elected That the success of the Christmas seal sale is due in large part to the fine spirit shown during^.the campaign by the general public and to the untiring efforts of the county leagues and chairmen is the belief of Mrs. Charles G. Miller, of Seattle, president of the Washington Tuberculosis association, which annually sponsors the sale. "The sale of Christmas seals this year proves anew that people will spend according to their interests," said Mrs. Miller. "It is by no means too late for those who have not yet reported on their seals to have a part in the work by sending money for them. If a majority will respond in this way, funds for the statewide 1934 program will be assured," continued Mrs. Miller. "On behalf of the Washington Tu berculosis association, may I express to all our appreciation for the support given to our thirty-four affiliated county leagues and to the association by the public, the press, the schools and the many devoted workers who braved the elements for days that the fight against tuberculosis might-not lapse. May all enjoy a happy new year." able to permit the operation of the others will work in crowded schools school throughout the full biennium.. throughout the county. The trustees went on record as willing to co-operate in every way possible should the investigation of the local Normal school proposed in a resolution introduced by Senator Ryan of Whatcom county be acted on favorably by the legislature. Senator Ryan will be remembered as one of the few who -voted against the granting of degrees by Normal schools in the last regular session. At the present time this resolution is resting with the rules committee. A. similar resolution ordering an investigation of the Sfcate Welfare board, also introduced by Senator Ryan, was defeated. - o Chinese Melodies is Lecture Subject Folk, Classical, and Popular Music Is Discussed by John Levis The announcement of this county's quota, received from L.

H. Fish- Bellingham Normal had the op portunity of hearing John Hazeldel Levis, noted concert-lecturer, on "The Music of China", at'the assembly this morning, which included folk, classical, and popular music. Mr. Levis explained something of the system wherein the "classic" music of the Sung and Ming dynasties is as developed as the living and popular music of today, and illustrated both by song and instruments. Mr. Levis was born in China and has spent most of his life there. He has devoid himself to the highly developed music system of ancient China, which, he says, is virtually unknown today save among a few Chinese scholars/ He is a recognized authority in this field and has given recitals in China, and in America at the Harvard university, Columbia university, and on the western coast. —. o A study of scholastic averages at Temple university revealed that membership in a Greek letter organization was not a handicap to a student.

One o Wilson Honored By Roosevelt President Offers Plan By Calista Simonds In an address commemorating the f the most insidious movements which has 77th birthday anniversary of Wood- Public School System Is In Great Danger made consistent progress during the past few years is the political discrimination against the American public school system. This treachery has been going on under the guise of economy and tax relief. Putting i t in the vernacular, "the schools take it on the chin". . Chicago's teachers go without pay for months, starve, commit suicide, or become suitable subjects for canitoriums." Meanwhile other employees of the city, which was financially able to put on a Century of Progress exposition, manage to get their pay checks : quite regularly Under the original C W A set-up the professionally trained teacher would have received 40 cents an hour, changed to 70 cents after a storm of protest) while the common ditch digger manages to obtain 5 0 cents an hour. Our country is able to spend millions for dams, power houses, and other grandiose schemes for which there is no immediate need. According to economists, the Grand Coulee and Bonneville projects will not be needed for ten years at least. Yet millions of children are forced to attend dangerously overcrowded, poorly heated, improperly ventilated, inadequately lighted, unsanitary schools. Truly this is an age of paradoxes! The school children are too young to protest. When they do grow up those responsible for these cowardly monstrosities will seek refuge under the cloak of senility. But in the meantime, what are the teachers doing about this problem? Occasionally we hear a pious, semi-apologetic utterance from one of the more courageous souls connected with the profession. As we see it,' the only thing which will save public education in America is a militant campaign for better trained teachers, and a more equitable financial status for the schools, by friends of mass education. Certainly the teachers themselves will have to quit leading "cloistered lives" as Senator Bob La Follette said when he was here last fall, and fight for their chosen field of endeavor. If there ever was a time when the public schools were in danger it is now! MAGAZINES on Parade By Frank Jones We note (with regret?) the passing of H. L. Mencken from the annals of the American Mercury. Mencken is the greatest debunker and iconoclast since, shall we say, Thomas Paine? Whether we are rappart or in complete opposition to him we cannot fail to be awed by the man's . ff.m^Ting perspicacity. What the denouement of the American Mercury under Henry Haylett will be is interesting to surmise. Still deeply imbued with satire or just another good magazine, which,? !;*|| interested in making "millions''?

What with a president, a vice president, and a representative to elect the ©F roof should see the moss torn off in fast order—know more about it after the nominating convention. —o row Wilson, December 27, President Franklin D. Roosevelt chose for his topic the possibility of world peace without offensive armament. No more fitting subject could be dedicated to the memory of this great advocater of peace. In referring to the League of Nations, of which Woodrow Wilson was the author, President Roosevelt termed it a prop in the world peace structure, "encouraging as it does the extension of non-aggressive pacts". He inferred that its weakness lies in the fact that "this gallant appeal meant little to the hearts of a large number of the statesmen gathered in Paris for the peace pact of 1919!" He insinuated that greed in the form of political profit, personal prestige, and national aggrandizement, attended the birth of the League of Nations and handicapped it from its infancy. "We are not members oL the League and do not contemplate membership," he said. Offering his own program for universal peace, President Roosevelt outlined three basic points, briefly stated here as non-intervention, non-aggression, and elimination of offensive weapons. Doubt has been expressed by many as to the success of this plan, even though every nation agreed to it. It is the opinion of James E. Bev-er, dean of the school, that this type of agreement would be kept by some nations only as long as it would be to their advantage to do so. He cites Japan and her violation of the Bri-and- Kellogg pact to substantiate his viewpoint. With clear vision for the future, Miss Norah B. Cummins, social science instructor, places the blame for Too Young For Enmity Bellingham's Gold Rush Tent City Days Retold By Nancy Smith In hearts too young for enmity There lies the way to make man free; When children's friendships are world-wide, New Ages will be glorified. Let child love child, and strife will cease, Disarm the hearts, for that is peace. Ethel Blair Jordan, From The School Magazine, Sydney, Australia English Usage New Year's Resolutions By Simonds (Continued on Page Three) It is now exactly January 5, 1934, and time for New Year's resolutions. If you haven't decided what your resolution is to be, how is this for one? "Bigger and better" English for this year. Now let's justify the word bigger by having it exemplify a more extensive vocabulary. Aren't you rather surfeited; which in slang vernacular means fed up, with having awful' nice describe everything from cradles to caskets? Wouldn't it be worthwhile to develop a speaking acquaintance with such.descriptive adjectives as pleasant, enjoyable, delicious, pleasing, and beautiful. As one question leads to another, isn't it strange that while it is proper to say "They sat in front of us," we shouldn't say, although some do, "They sat in back of us"? Did they sit behind us? Yes. A city of tents sprang up over night where before had been but a tiny isolated settlement of less than a hundred people. The cause was the gold rush of 1858. The farmers and mill men of Bellingham Bay country were placidly going about their business, performing their daily chores, when they were rather rudely interrupted by a swarming influx of adventurers. One bright sunny day, they saw the unusual sight of a large steamer headed up the bay, her decks black with people. Soneone brought tents and by evening a canvas village had been erected on the beach. As the days passed the populaton grew in leaps and bounds, from hundreds to thousands. That first day there were five times as many people on the shores of Bellingham Bay as there had been the day before. In a little more than a week, the population of this section was greater than all the rest of Washington. There were two classes of people who came with this crowd; those who were out for gold, and those who catered to the wants of the miners. Some brought merchandise. Some brought liquors and gambling devices. There was even the usual number of "painted ladies". All the men were of the hearty, adventurous sort, willing to try anything new. When, instead of finding Bellingham Bay the easiest approach to the Frazer river gold 'fields', they found themselves blocked by an impenetrable forest, they left. Woebegone as the deserted village looked, the gold rush had really'left Bellingham Bay much richer than it had found her. By Mary-Jane Holden The reading public stands with bated breath awaiting Sinclair Lewis' new novel, "Work of Art." The advertisements divulge the information that it is about an idealist in business, who is the most ^likeable character since Martin Arrowsmith. The book will be on sale January 24. Edgar Rice Burroughs announces his thirty-ninth novel, "Tarzan and the City of Gold." His thirty-eight previous books, published over a period of twenty years, have never been out of print. If he continues at this rate, he may exceed the Heinz slogan! Imagine following the peregrinations of a superman through twenty years of phenomenal bravery and acumen! Louis Joseph Vance, writer of detective stories, died recently. His stories of "The Lone Wolf" ran in Cosmopolitan, and wereKpublished in book form. The following excerpt is from an autobiographical sketch Written not long before his death. "Vm a large, full-blooded body with a two hundred pound look and a retiring head of hair. I mean to keep on writing until some one or thing makes me quit it, and then I plan to exterminate one or two editors and several assorted critics and go peacefully with the kind policeman." "Peter Abelard," by Helen Waddell, author of "The Wandering Scholars," is rather an interesting book, if one cares to wade through pages of quotations scriptural, liturgical and "rubrical. Peter and Heloise are almost too good to be true—their rugged righteousness is too rugged. However, Gillis de Vannes, a wiry earthy canon of Notre Dame, adds the necessary realism and humor. If you have difficulty in selecting a book when you go to the library, look for the Literary Guild book, "An American Omnibus.,, Among the authors represented are Tarkington, Hemingway, Sinclair Lewis, Christopher Morley, Sherwood Anderson, and George Ade. Selections range from "Alice Adams", a full length novel, to "Archy and Mehitabel," by Don Marquis. The death of Sir Henry P. Dickens, son of Charles Dickens, on December 22, removes a real link with the Victorian era. Born in 1849, he lived on for more than sixty years after the death of his father. He made a success in ---------- Northwest Viking - 1934 January 5 - Page 3 ---------- ^M^INGTONST^NQ Intramural Games Start Next Monday SPORTS Here Next Saturday Sport Slants By Bob Lindsleyv Well, folks, here we are, back again after a short but sweet vacation to continue grinding out this little old column of ours. We hope you all enjoyed your vacation as much as we did. But, believe me, i t seemed plenty good to get back to school and catch'upon a little of the good old shut-eye. We needed it! This new year started out in a big way in the sports world, when the death-knell of 1934 footbaU was sounded in the. Rose Bowl game in which the Columbia Lions startled the gridiron world by defeating the favored Stanford eleven, 7 to 0. Those Lions from way out east showed the sport funs just what a team can do when it is determined to win. After listening to ridicule ever since they were selected to play Stanford,, and also being billed as the underdogs all over the country, they came over the mountains and just by sheer fight and gameness they defeated what Was supposed to be the fees* team on the coast. And boy, was this Writer glad to see them win. We re always with the underdogs. • • By the looks of the new faces around the school it looks as if Coach Lapenbusch had been pretty successful in rounding up a basketball team during the holidays. Eatonville produced two men in Fitzer and Dunigan, a center and forward respectively, who look like good varsity material, Zambas, a forward from Raymond, also has looked pretty good in turnouts to date. With the first game coining next Saturday night with C. P. S., Coach Lappenbusch will have to work his men hard to get t h em in shape. The .Loggers always have a tough team and this year is no exception. Jayvees Defeat Printing Five In Overtime Battle Bill Neilson and Frender Lead Normal Team in 33-30 Victory at Y. M. Another lad who has caught the coach's eye is Otto Johnson, rangy guard from Whatcom. While he is not as spectacular as some players, "Ot" has plenty of fight, is a good passer and has lots of height, something that everyone needs in college ball. The. first game probably will see the rangy Swede in one of the guard position for the Vikings. The time is drawing near for the -annual W club smokeless smoker, but not much has been heard as to who will do the fighting, up to now We, for one, would like to see that fighting Polack, Walt Sinko, take someone on for a few heats if Pro moter Milt Flint can find anyone to fight him. Ever since we saw Sinko trade punches with Hudson in an intra mural game we've been aching to see him in action in a ring. He threw punches so fast that time that he looked like a regular buzz saw If he fights, he will carry all our money. Next Week will see the opening of the second half of the intramural basketball schedule... Most of the teams with the exception of Daniels hall will be strengthened and will be out after the scalps of the Northwest Viking five, winners of the first half of the race.- Daniels, one of the teams that ended in a three-way tie for first place in the first half, have lost several good men in Fuller, Warden-er, Toby, and Blakely. These men will be hard to replace and so it looks as though the Daniels hall team's chances are about shot for the second half. The first-half champion reporters team has retained its entire outfit for the second half and. therefore will be the team to beat again. But just try and do it! Listen, folks, and we'll let you in on a little secret. The Sheik, TJllin, has a successor, or a t least a rival, in school. That rival is none other than our old friend Walt "Baby-face" Sorensen, a good-looking' lad from Mount Baker. ' Sorensen made his letter in basketball here last year and also got quite a reputation as a lady-killer. We'll have to watch him now to see if he has lost that—what should we call it-—technique.

Neilson, high scorer of the game, netted 13 tallies, closely followed by Bill Frender, who had 10 points to his credit. The final whistle blew with score even up 29 to 29. In the overtime period both teams failed to score the necessary point which called for a second overtime fray that ended with Junior Varsity three points to the better of the Printer boys. Scoring for the Union Print cagers was evenly divided. Leatha head ing the list with 11, Lord and Gar lick coming next with 5 and 6 scores respectively.

Those are the names of two intramural basketball squads that are out to have a good time and yet win the hoop crown for the second half. Thugs is the nomenclature that was decided upon by the managers of the Revelers and Men's club who merged their teams. Those who are to play for them who are new men are Benedict, Carr, and Clark. Barton's hall entered a team for the second half and decided upon their name after considgrine such titles as Supercreacrhaughts, Wee Gals and Bar Tender. Cal Davidson is managing the group, which includes Bagley, Richardson, Mitchell, Mulligan and Williams. Monday afternoon at 4 o'clock the second half will start with the N. W. Vikings taking on the Harlequins and t he Co-op later meeting the Thugs. The former team in each case is the favorite but t he dope bucket overturns quite easily. Daniels hall lost the most men over the quarter. Wardenaar, Toby, Blakely and Fuller did not r e turn to school. The Co-ops suffer- !ed also, losing Benedict, Clark,'and 'probably Vander Griend, who is slated for a" varsity post. The championship N. W. Vikings retained all their men. The managers decided to change the days of games to Mondays and Wednesdays in order not to interfere with Jayvee games. With the W. A. A. By Calista Simonds Rested and refreshed (maybe) by a two-week's vacation, the members of the Women's Athletic association are already planning an unusually full indoor sports program for this quarter. This program will include basketball, service ball and badminton. • # * * * Badminton, as it was explained previously in this column, is a comparatively new sport to this country, although it has ben played exten sively in England and Canada. It is similar to tennis in play, but with smaller courts and racquets being used and a "shuttle-cock" or "bird" supplanting the ball. Either singles or doubles may play. * * * * Miss Mildred Jewell, basketball coach, is very desirous of stimulating a n interest in basketball as an extensive intramural, tournament is being worked out... She hopes to be able to enter in this tournament organized house teams and to accomplish this she requests that each house elect a basketball manager. These managers are asked to meet with.. Miss..

The W. A. A. of Charleston Illinois State Teachers' college is inauguarating it into their sport program this year and just to arouse interest an exhibition match is to be held. Not a bad idea! * * * * This week there were no regular turnouts in any of the sports, although Tuesday afternoon saw a few enthusiastic basketball players enjoying a little pre-schedule play. No new turn-outs being in the group, no estimation of the prospective timber could be made. Regular turnouts will begin Monday, * * * * "Lest Ye Forget" Badminton and service ball turnouts will be held on Mondays and Wednesdays at 4 o'clock in the big gym and little gym respectively. Basketball turnouts are scheduled for Tuesdays and Thursdays at 4 o'clock in the big gym. "I am pleased with the showing of the new men a t the first turnout," was the way Coach Lappenbusch expressed himself after viewing in action the men with whom he ex pects to put a basketball varsity team that will do credit to both himself and t he school. Although he has much raggedness of teamwork to iron out before they meet their first competition, the coach was far from pessimistic Thursday morning. He feels that the team is not up to the calibre of other schools, but since he hopes mainly to build his team with men who entered Normal for the first time this quarter he cannot expect too much during the first few t u rn outs. Lappenbusch Pleased Fitzer, Dunigan, Zambas, and Johnson are the new men with whom Lappenbusch is especially pleased As only two last year's veterans are turning out so far, all four of these men may break into the first squad. Moser, last year's aggressive guard, is quite sure of holding down a guard position on the first string, while Sorenson, a last year varsity forward, will be extended to retain a similar position during the coming season. Dutche McBeath, the third of the trio of lettermen, whom Lappenbusch is counting heavily on, has as yet not reported for prac tice but will probably be out for a position next week.

Ethel Barber. This program is the outcome of classroom study of Greek life and physical education classes. Given in pantomime rhythms, various games and skills were demonstrated by both boys and girls. A short introduction opened the list of events which was headed by a procession offering gifts to the Gods. Such things as fruits, grains, cakes, live oxen, and perfume were given to the Gods by the Greeks before and after the games took place. Discus throwing was the -first activity to be demonstrated and described. A discus is a round flat piece of metal and is thrown for distance. Javelins, used by the Greeks, were long wooden shafts tipped with steel, and were also thrown for distance. Descriptions and demonstrations of the shot-put and sling shot were given followed by an explanation of the uses of archery. Chariot races of Greek, and Roman types were enacted, after which an explanation of boxing was considered, one of the most dangerous sports by the Greeks. Unlike the matches of to day, the bouts were held either be tween two or by two teams. No referee was used, the winner being determined by the one continuing the longest, that is the opponent was either killed or unconscious. Gifts to the Gods for "the winners were presented, bringing the affair to a close. Assisting Mrs. Barber were Miss Mildred Jewell, who was in charge of the rhythms, and Mrs. Grace Moore Krous, who helped wth the music for the activities. o Parties Top L,ist of Social Eriefds Teas, Dinners, and Trips Among Holiday Affairs for Winter Vacation Period Strange Entertains During the holidays, Miss Edith R. Strange, teacher of piano, enter tained with a tea in her studio in the Fine Arts building. The guests were advanced music students of Bellingham and Mount Vernon. There was the usual program and discussion of musical topics. A double sextette composed of sixth grade pupils from Mount Vernon by ££iss Osleia Iverson contributed to the 'program. Sever Visits Dean Bever spent some of his time during the holidays visiting in Los Angeles.

Campus Parties Are Scheduled For the Month W Club Sponsors Ahnual Smoker; Drama Club, Two Classes Give Affairs Fitzgerald Honored at Edens Hall Luncheon Honoring Miss Sadie E. Fitzgerald, who formerly taught the fourth grade in the Normal training school, a luncheon was held at Edens hall Wednesday, January 3. Following the luncheon those who wished brought their lunch trays into the club room, where they met Miss Fitzgerald informally. Miss Fitzgerald taught here a year ago when she relieved Miss Pearl Mer-riman, the regular instructor. A collection of 36 stones and other minerals mentioned in the Bible, and of the varieties used by the ancient Hebrews to adorn liturgical vestments has been added to the exhibit at Hunter college, New York.

This is the first year that the individual classes have had more than one party during the year. sAnother new idea introduced last quarter was that of inviting every one to every class party, with a slight admission charge to the mem bers of classes other than that which was sponsoring -the affair. The all-school mixer, tonight, will be followed by parties given by the Drama club, two classes, and the W club smokeless smoker. The kid party and banquet to be held on Friday, January 12, by the Drama club, will be under the direction of the program committee which consists of Annabelle Keller, chairman, Grace Finley, June Welch, and Or- ,vin Messegee. All members of the club are asked to come looking childish, to join in playing ring around the rosie and in the dancing which will take place after the banquet. The junior-senior class will hold forth with much merriment on January 20, and the freshmen, a week later. Plans for these two parties are not as yet complete, according to the class presidents, Bill Allan and Don Norlin, respectively. Smoker Planned Once a year the men's W club sponsors a smokeless smoker which is held in the little gym. The smoker this year will be given on January 26. Both boxing and wrestling matches will be put on. In contradiction to the idea that smokers are for men only, the women of the school are also invited to attend. College Football Rated by Wallace As a Good Racket Agricultural Secretary Speaks National Students' Conference By BILL PIERRON Secretary of Agriculture. H e n ry Wallace made some very vigorous pronouncements on December 31 in an address at Washington, D. C, before a national conference of students in politics. Among' other things Wallace said there was more to college life than talking about football scores and college dances. He termed organized college football a "racket" and he expressed doubt that there was "anything so extraordinarily worthwhile in extracurricular activities." He regretted that colleges haven't been as vital as they should be in furnishing leadership to e n a b le youth to grapple in an adventurous way with the realities of the coming day. He expressed hope that some American youth movement, worthy of the name, would arise as a result of the depression. He castigated present-day American youth as being altogether too "smug, complacent, and self-satisfied." The strong critical quality of Wallace's statements are certainly in marked contrast to the customary vapid and harmless idealism which has usually been preached to national conferences of students. It is refreshing to find someone dealing so realistically with educational problems. It is to be hoped that all college students will appreciate and carefully consider Secretary, Wallace's pertinent and timely comments. o—: Students in India comprise 3.5 per cent or tne population.

The Gibson Girl hat is perched on milady's curls and the Gibson Girl collar hides her throat. The Gibson Girl sleeve gives her that "up to the shoulder" appear* ance, and a Gibson Girl sweep to her skirt completes the 1934 version of "When Mother Went to College." Let us look at this Gibson Girl of 1934. The most noticeable quality in her attire is a look of bouyancy, not without primness and reserve. With her high-up shoulders and perky hat she seems capable of any sudden shrug of her shoulders or toss of her head. She is, in short, a rejuvenated "Gibson Girl," with the spirit and temperament of 1934. . . And it is all in her styles! Let us Jpok at the Gibson Girl blouse and skirt. We find the blouse, a shadowy dark silk—a soft subtle material which is flattering and quaint It may have a bint of a print In quiet colors or may be trimmed with a gay throat bow or buttons. The sleeve is a leg-o'-mut ton affair, wrist length, which falls in graceful folds on the upper arm and fits snugly at the wrist. The waistline is fitted in with pin tucks or darts and a coy sash ties in a large bow in the back. The skirt is also in a dark color,PPPPP

W.S.N.S. Spring plus athletics is most gratifying to the writer when associated with the local Normal. It is a time when the Blue and White makes a good showing in inter-school competition and yet carries out its fullest intra-school program of the year. There are no figures available for the writer, but we are willing to venture that without a doubt there are more students taking part in some kind of activity in.the spring than any other quarter. The Viking track teams always make a good showing and include a large number in its participation list. The tennis squad excels over the other Normals. The women carry out. a. many-fold program of archery, * speedball, golf,, tennis, and what have you. Both men and women devote many hours to wholesome recreation on the par-excellent courts, so that all in all, the spring athletics come the closest to reaching the goal of "preferred" athletics. " ~Tnere."wiii"be" no basebaH" teams sent out to other. schools this year. With this extra time for intramural athletics, the coaches should be able to foster a program that incorporates more students than in any past period. We hope this is the case, for a development of athletics that will reach the most students will be profitable. W.S.N.S. With the present rigid economy on personal exchequers., the., greetings tend as follows: "Let's have a game of tennis?" "Ok, got any pellets?" "No, have you?" -——W.SN.S. On the subject of newspapers the writer does not agree with many critics of American life, that the Comics are just so much degradation. In the better comics there is as much actual life portrayed as there is in the better novels. Naturally it is often sugar coated with silliness and a steady diet is not the best. .But it is just as well to get the silliness out of one's system that way, as to do it in conversation. W.S.N.S. A Seattle dentist has joined the "back to the farm" movement. The name of his "estate" is Molar Archers. W.S.N.S. ....We hope that none of you will have to drop out of school for lack of the necessary finances. W.S.N.S. ' This is the last Normalite for the writer. It has been a steadfast aim to interest as many as possible with items as worth while as a student can turn out. We have tried not to be too inane or too philosophical. I t has been a pleasure for me. If you have gleaned some one useful point or opinion, I shall feel satisfied. : — o • Library Course to be Offered This Spring Under the joint auspices of the Bellingham Woman's Music club j and the Bellingham State- Normal school, Joseph Szigeti, Hungarian violinist, will appear in concert at 8:15 p. m. on the evening of March 29 in the school auditorium. Mr. Szigeti is conceded by critics to be an artist of rare distinction, his technical attainments ranking him among the most accomplished contemporary instrumentalists. This is the seventh American tour made by this compartively young violinist, who has also appeared in concert in the Far East and Australia, where he has met with approval and acclaim by music lovers and critics alike. The following quotation is taken from an article in the New York Times: "Mr. Szigeti is, like Kreisler, one of the few violinists who can give the impress .of a'personal style on the music of Bach, without in any way departing from either the spirit or the letter of the written notes. His technique is at its zenith." Similar favorable criticisms follow in the wake of Mr. Szigeti's concert tours both in America and abroad. In the New York American, dated February 2, mention was made of how abundantly Mr. Szigeti gives of his "fruitful and lofty art"*, and of his reverential approach towards the best music, with its resultant reward- of applause from a large congregation of the elect. Among recent official honors, bestowed on Mr Szigeti, have been the Chevalier of the French "Legion d' Honeur" and the Officer's Cross of the Hungarian "Ordre pour le Merite." MMMTS H Reference Librarian Has Charge of All Continuations How many students know that our library has in its shelves nearly 12,- 000 pieces of reference material commonly known by the names of annual reports, bulletins, memoirs, etc. The technical name is "continuations" because these appear at irregular intervals. A type with which the majority of people are familiar is the U. S. Office of Education bulletin. Needless to say, such publications are of inestimable value because they are strictly up-to-date, and may be purchased for practically the cost of printing. In this library they are listed on cards filed in drawers in the back of the catalogue case. Bushell Is to Teach In Music Deparment During Next Quarter Although no one took advantage of the offer to learn to mount pictures and mend books this quarter, the opportunity will again be offered in the spring quarter. : This course carries no credit and requires two hours of work twice a jveek. . •.; ^Anyone who is interested should arrange • to see Miss George, cataloguer, as soon as possible, since on- Js^stoc people can take this course. Donald Bushell, a graduate of the University of Washington, will be added to the faculty for the spring quarter. He is to take the place of H. B. Smith in the Music department. Mr. Smith was taken ill soon after the beginning of the fall quarter and Mr. Bushell came to Bellingham to finish out that term. As Mr. Smith had to go to Southern California for his health and could not get back for the spring quarter, Mr. Busnell has been secured to take his place for the complete quarter. Last Friday Mr. Bushell was in Bellingham making arrangements FEW GLASSES NOT TO MEET MONDAY STAFF IS APPOINTED FOR SPRING QUARTER Entering Students Charged Late Editor Makes Several Changes in Fees After March 27 Selection of Assistants PALE MOON SHINE CAUSE OF AMNESIA School Ma'am Loses Her Memory as Luna Shines on Sehome By DICK HAMMETT When Luna, the moon, shines down on the face of, the sleeper there is very grave danger of his becoming lunatic. Luna has strange powers. Sometimes under the influence of the entrancing moonshine the book-weary Normal lad and. lassie become forgetful of everything save themselves. Such forgetfulness is excusable and harmless, but when a still young and pretty school ma'am is reminded by Luna's bright light of wonderful days gone by, extreme prostration or complete amnesia is often the result. According to May Mead, authority on perambulatory amnesia, moonshine should be taken a little at a time. An overdose of it on a balmy spring evening is as hard on the morale of the normal individual as an overdose of castor oil may prove to be. Hey, Ho! On a certain night last week a group of those whose thoughts are of heavenly phenomena, .rather than of the material things of this world, left their respective abodes and by common consent and mutual understanding gravitated toward that lofty pinnacle of romanticism, Mount Sehome (the peak about which that famed anthem "Far Above the Bay's Blue Waters" was written). There, in compliance with Freshmen entering next quarter will report directly to room 120 on Monday, March 27. The committee in charge there will give full instructions for registration to this group. Students entering from other institutions will report to the dean's office for evaluation of credits and making out a check list of requirements. Those transfer students who have had their credits evaluated at the dean's office and all old students will report to room 215 for assignments to advisers.

Absences are to be reported from the first day class meets. Students now in school_ who did not make out their schedules and file them in the business office will be charged late registration fees beginning ' with March 27. Students entering the spring quarter for the first time this school year will,pay late fees after March 27. Several changes in the staff of the Viking will be made for the spring quarter. The editor has appointed Francis Fisher as associate editor, to take the place of Julius Dorn-blut, who was elected business manager. Mary Jane Holden will hold the position of assistant editor, succeeding Ina Kirkman. The editor has also selected the new department editors for next quarter. Ralph Shenenberger and Bob Lindsley will be the new sports editors, and Calista Simonds will have charge of headlines. There are to be two newswriting classes next quarter. The beginning class will meet on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday at 10 o'clock. Any students who have not already registered who would like to be in this class are asked to get a permit slip from the editor in the Viking office before they register. , —o FAMOUS POPE WAS SCULPTOR'S PATRON Work of Michaelangelo as Great Artist is Discussed EIGHT TO RECEIVE "W" PIN AWARD IS DECIDED BY BOARD Conrad, Griff en, Allan, and Rockey Complete Requirement for Viking Pins SCHOOL BASEBALL DISCUSSED Bids Open for Publication of Tri- Normal Track Booklet (Continued on Page Four, o— Eighth Grade Girls in Training School Sewing on Dresses The girls in the eighth grade sewing class are making dresses for the Red Cross to give to the needy. This is not being done at the request of a teacher or of the Red Cross, but at the request of the girls themselves. Several weeks ago when the eighth grade girls visited the Red Cross headquarters, they were particularly impressed by that organization's sewing program. They discovered that there are many Red Cross sewing groups in Bellingham, making dresses for the poof. Why couldn't they form a group? they asked Miss Countryman. With Miss Countryman's consent, the class asked the Red Gross for a standard dress pattern and nineteen pieces of cloth. The girls are putting many individual; touches on tire collar, cuffs and belt of the dresses. • NEW SYSTEM BEGUN Student Deposit Fund Will Be Started Next Quarter ---------- Northwest Viking - 1933 March 17 - Page 2 ---------- I f l i l S ^ ^ WASHTNOTON S T A T E NOR:MAL SCHOOL- BEJL.LINGHAM.

Spring Sports Tournaments The current move to broaden the field of spring sports to include volleyball and indoor baseball is a wise one under the present circumstances. A program was needed that would give the most exercise for the money. These two sports plus ladder tournaments in several more are chosen on that standpoint. That baseball was discontinued was not the choice of the students. It was a necessity which could not be avoid-ed. The men's Physical Education department has chosen the best alternatives for intercollegiate baseball that they possibly could have selected. If baseball had not been discontinued no attention would have been given to the enlargement of intramural sports. More students will be participating in this program than could possibly have done in baseball alone. At the present' about twenty-five men have signed for volleyball. This will make four teams in all, with a larger enrollment for the sport probable in the spring quarter. The pep and sparkle of winter's intra-mural basketball will show in both volleyball and baseball next quarter, with the added benefaction of cool, clean outdoor air, enjoyed by both the player and the spectator. More power to you, men! You are making the best of a bad break, and it looks as if your best will be better than things Were before the fall came. o— Spring Silliness ALENt gt;AR of Happenings (JRRENT FRIDAY—March 17. 4:00 p. m., Rec Hour in the Big Gym Sponsored by-the Men's Club. 4:00 p. m., Winter Quarter Ends and Spring Recess Begins. 9:30 p. m., Normal Broadcast Over KVOS.

Literary Laugh-It-Offs If the student body of the school is ready to divide into two factions and spill blood over the respective merits of Sinclair Lewis's new novel "Ann Vickers" and his "Main Street" and "Babbitt", perhaps it would be well to remind ourselves that in Shakespeare's day it was Ben Jonson, not the immortal William, who was "destined to live among the English authors". And so to the battling literati—the only sure way of telling which of the books will live is to let them try to do it for awhile. Seriously though, student interest in literature powerful enough to stimulate a journalistic explosion is a good sign for this generation. No matter hoW we look at the literary-minded, the intellectual effort they extend will undoubtedly reap them better benefits than an equal amount of work put forth upon the popular interests such as jig-saw puzzles and the like.

It won't be long now until the shooting is all over for the quarter. The members of the staff of the Northwest Viking, their friends, and their friends' friends wish you gt; a happy holiday. The drowsy somnolence of these days; the distant, soft murmur of the frogs in Waldo marsh; the sun going down behind Lummi in a blaze of yellow-scarlet, • none of these are overly-conducive to the stern application and perseverance that is a necessity during test week.

Industrial Arts Is Ultra Modern As Sexology Tangles With Saws HYGIENE FILTERED THROUGH SAWDUST What to do when students are so work-laden that the heavens might fall and pass unnoticed is one of the problems of an industrial arts teacher. "Term papers for industrial arts should be concerned with industrial arts" is a maxim usually accepted. Teacher Wonders But Johnny Stiger got his wires crossed. And the problem of interpreting what happened is going to be left to the reader. When the industrial arts teacher looked over Johnny's paper he wondered—and wondering, looked around the building to see whether or not he was in the Medical department for human ailments or in the department where aliments of furniture were generally treated. "Johnny", he said, "I don't like this paper of yours". Johnny, poor work-laden Johnny, looked up from under a pile of work benches, saws, hammers, etc., and he was belligerent. "Wassa matter witta paper?" he growled. "Oh, the paper's all right", assented the instructor, "but I can't see how you contrived to write a theme on sex hygiene and plan to have it accepted for this course!" Having delivered that bomb, he settled back. What's It All About? Sex and its relation to industrial arts might become a favorite theme for a paper by some learned savant. But in this particular instance, when one remembers how terribly overburdened students are when the quarter is drawing to a close, especially in so practical a course as industrial arts, it is hard to envision a sturdy male peering from the maze of equipment, and still finding time "to feel a thrill from the nearness of one of the fairer flowers. But to write a paper on it! Of course Johnny's face got red and the class roared. "Just a lil' error", he mumbled—but do you suppose that dreamy, far-off expression in his eyes could be accounted for wholly by burdensome studies? Might not a little sex in industrial arts have its place? Literary This and That According to Don Marquis, a successful journalist is one who can stroke a platitude until it purrs like an epigram. There are different ways of measuring success—a man who comes to be hanged is, in a way, successful. He has the satisfaction of knowing that he is a personage of such importance that society must inflict its most severe punishment on him— its supreme penalty. This column then is successful. It look an intellectual to expose it in all its superficial smallness—'after the small minds of the school condescended to read its trivialities, it took one who really thinks to reveal its inanity. In looking over the field of contemporary writers one finds that many have changed their ways of looking at the masses. Some have come down out of their ivory towers to lead the workers in their struggles against thev oppression of capitalist Reception Given By Eighth Grade Last Wednesday Original Games are Played by Training School Guests The boys and girls of the eighth grade gave their annual reception last Wednesday afternoon, in the Blue Room of Edens hall. They had as their invited guests their parents, and all the teachers with whom they are directly or indirectly connected. The receiving hours were from two to four. The first half hour was spent in making introductions and in friendly conversation. Then, when the majority of the guests had arrived, two games were announced. They were original games and therefore did not have particular names. Half of the guests played one game, while the other half played the other. The girl-director of the south half of the room instructed the players to inspect cut-out and numbered illustrations tacked on the bulletin board. Each of them represented a street in Bellingham. What street it was, the player was to decide and write down opposite the correct number on his paper. The person who solved the greatest number, correctly won a key! A key to the city! Punch and cookies were served at 3:30. Both the boys and the girls had expended their culinary efforts on these cookies (a pleasant surprise for their parents). This reception of the eighth graders was not only a very enjoyable affair for everyone ---------- Northwest Viking - 1933 March 17 - Page 3 ---------- JJ?5Jii\a*55t^'a,y^ E,,w,slliliH WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM.

This was followed by toasts to members of the P. E. department, President Fisher, and Miss Lillian eGorge, hiking snopser. Two groups of tap dances were given by members of the tap team. -Dorothy Kelly led the singing, accompanied by Lois Reynolds at the piano.

"Buy British" neon signs pierce the London fog. Amidst this highly touted nationalism Norman .. Angell comes forth with a boolc so • full of logical arguments against the '_ would-be saviors of Britain and ;: America- that one becomes almost : incredulous at the simplicity of his i expositions. How Europe is eventually going to ,:pay a: war debt in gold, the total amount of which is more than twice t h e existing supply, apparently never enters the mind of the rabid nationalist. Sir Norman doubts the good a nation derives from a policy which consistently insists upon a favorable balance of trade. This is especially open to question when the offender is a creditor nation. Tariff Walls Dangerous Nations may have been self contained in the days when everything ; needed for the welfare of its inhab- • itants was produced at home, but in the complex world of today it is no longer possible to build economic ; barriers withous serious consequen- ' ces. Before the war no one, not even college professors, took seriously a ; book by the same author called "The Great Illusion". Today even the most confirmed imperialist begins to wonder if perhaps after all there is some truth in the statement—"to I annex a province and its inhabitants I is not to annex wealth, since the in- ; habitants own the wealth." This fact is driven home when one re- , members the French possession of the Ruhr. "'•• Going still farther we are re- "." minded that Britain with one-fourth of the world's population and one-fifth of the world's surface is far •from the ideal of the 19th century ^expansionists. V; Change Necessary Commenting on the present state ; of inactivity and want throughout ' t h e world in the midst of plenty, this lt;l eminent Britisher says, "Certain notions concerning private property will have to bechanged if the mass of men are to live in plenty." ; Cannibalism, human sacrifice, i polygamy, and torture were rejoiced in yesterday but they horrify us to- - day. Can conflict between nations, which is just as inane, be done away \ ^ Norman Jehan Warliker Will Return to Lecture Fri., March 31 The assembly schedule for the spring quarter has been drawn up by the lecture and entertainment committee. On Tuesday, March 28, Dr. Charles Upson Clark, Fellow of the Royal Historical society, and professor of languages in the City College, New York City, will review some of his vast experiences as a Research Associate of the Smithsonian institute.

An evening recital, commencing at 8:00 o'clock, will be given by Joseph Szigeti, world famous violinist, on Wednesday, March 29. The following Friday, March 31, Jehan Warliker, Prince Seesodia of India, will deliver an address on India. Mr. Warliker is widely known as an authority, on India, from which country he has recently returned. The Men's Chorus of Bellingham, under the direction of Harrison Raymond, will appear before the Normalites on Tuesday, April 4. On Tuesday, April 7, Dr. Christine Gal-itzie, of Scripps college, Claremont, California, will give a lecture on a social-political-international subject. Oselia Iverson, pianist, and alumna of Bellingham Normal, will be featured in the assembly of April 11. Dr. Ambrose L. Sfuhrie, professor of Education in the New York university, will deliver an address Friday, April 14. The Women's Music club of Bellingham will appear in a chorus at 8 o'clock on the evening of April 18.

On Friday, May 26, the Women's League and Men's club will again sponsor the assembly. o SICKNESS FALLS OFF Very few illnesses have been reported to the nurse's office lately. Among those who have been absent are Katherine Hollis, who has been ill at her home in Arlington for the past two weeks; Clarence Thue, Bertha Bremnes and Ardis Bra-vard. o - Misses Adele M. Jones, Linda Countryman and Gertrude Longley attended the sectional meeting of the Washington Home Economics Teachers at Mount Vernon, Saturday. : : 0 Collector Revels In Depression Coin Betty Pratt of Penny Pantry Is Collector If the depression keeps up much longer all he hoarded money will be back in circulation. The Penny Pantry, a restaurant in Detroit for those who are unable to pay regular prices for food, seems to be the clearing house fo rcoins that have been dug out of the old cracked coffee pot behind the chimney. Miss, Betty Pratt, the cashier, happens to be a collector of old coins, and is right in her element when the change is counted. Among the pieces that come over the counter are foreign and old U. S. coins, long since out of circulation and apparently unused for years. __L_ o Angell,- if we realize that the impulse to fight is a part of nature, which the author admits somewhat reluctantly: what we fight about is certainly a part of our nurture. In a world filled with fear and doubt, this book with its penetrating analysis is refreshing. One is inspired with new hope balanced by a feeling of tremendous responsibility. 'i^-:-\'Z'- VALKYRIE CLUB At a meeting of the Valkyrie club held last Tuesday the following officers were elected for the coming quarter: Harriet Rickerson, president; Gwen. Eder, vice president; Louise Schultz, secretary, and Louise Morrison, Inter-club Council representative. WOMEN'S LEAGUE At the Women's League council meeting held last Monday afternoon in the Women's League room, Saturday, May 6, was chosen as the date of the women's spring quarter informal. Chairmen for the dance were suggested, but will not be definitely decided upon until the quarter starts. Here we have a picture of any loyal Viking in the school on his way home to spend the week with his parents, whom he has not seen since he started here last January. He is illustrating all the best techniques of hitch-hiking. Notice the bag, all plastered with Normal stickers, bought in the Co-op. Look at the appealing upraised thumb and the wistful expression. He seems a long way from home, but we're sure he'll get there all right. Don't you? Fresk's Frivolities TTiefse auto radios are not as uncommon as one might think-there has been many a good hroad cast from a model T touring. When I removed my mask at a recent masquerade, the house detective jumped on me and was going to have me arrested for carrying a concealed weapon—thanks, Clancy. Maxim number 11,307—any girl can make a fool out of a man, but it takes a darn smart woman to make a man out of a fool. Due to the fact that Marlene Dietrich recently started wearing a mannish suit, Wheeler and Woolsey commenced to wear Women s skirts. They said, that anything that Was good enough for their. mothers Was good enough for them. (I dont know whether this is true or not). According to a clipping out of some newspaper somewhere, coeds at Boston university are twice as troublesome as the men students.

This meet between the three schools is a new thing, and plans have already been made to hold it at Bellingham next year, and El-lensburg the year after. Mostly Relay Events The events now listed on the program are mostly relays, including a mile relay, a two-mile relay, a four-mile relay, 440- and 880-yard relays, and a medley relay. The medley event is made up of four men, one running the 220-yard dash, one running the 440, one the half-mile, and one the mile. High schools also will be invited to compete in the five relay events and in a special dash event. Besides these relays there are special events listed: Pole vault, shot put, high jump, discus throw, 120- yard high hurdles, and the 100-yard dash. Large Squad to Travel Coach Sam Carver will take a large squad to Tacoma in hopes of getting a victory to put the boys in the right mood for the coming season. Because of the many relays four sprinters, four quarter-milers, and (if the four-mile relay is run) four milers will travel to the meet. Coach Carver is attempting to have the four-mile relay event eliminated, because it is so early in the season The girl athletes have been after us to give them a break in our 'column and we are de-light-ed to do it! Here goes: About fifty women have told us | that they are going to start playing ' tennis soon as the P. E. department j reports that lots of girl divot-diggers have signed up for golf next quarter. And, oh yes, the W. A. A. had a big blow-out and a luncheon last Saturday. We'll hand it to,the W. A. A.—they're the most active organization in the school and they are working in the interest of a good cause. The girls also report that ,the sophs made the frosh look pretty bad in their recent basketball series. Dot Kelly, Bemice Marsolaise and Lorraine Sheppard are some of the big-shot girl basketball players ....We had a graphic demonstration of women's athletics this week when some girl archer caught us with an arrow in the seat of the pants while we were on the athletic field watching the track turnout... We picked up a javelin and started after her but she disappeared into the wilds of Sehome hill .before we had a chance to throw it. We'll just bet a cookey that Fisher's Fairies are going to walk off with the intra-mural crown next quarter. Walt Schlilaty has a bunch of ruffians like Berg and Brinkman lined-up and he thinks they can play baseball. But the Fairies have some major league material in Glenn X. ("swat 'em") Rockey, Slhorty Million, Jim Beaver, and a lot more of equal calibre. Some of the rest of the teams like Gable's Pansies and the Dirty Dishwashers have been clamoring for a little publicity, so boys, here it is. We think you're rotten! Yessir, folks, it looks like the Fairies to us and we'll be modest and tell you that the Fairies have and the men haven't had a chance to get in proper condition. Turnouts are being held daily and the men are working hard to get in good shape. In the sprints, Schlilaty, Gable, and Thomas look like starters for the season. Pendleton also has a good chance. There is a wealth of material in the 440 event with Hall, Stiger, Becken, Barbo, Christy, Jones, and Delancey fighting it out for places on the squad. Competition is also close in the weight events with Van Over, Nolte, Partis, Berg, and Brewer competing. Meet Close C. P. S. and Ellensburg both have strong teams for the coming season and will likely give the Vikings plenty of competition at Tacoma. C. P. S. has most of last year's team back, and Ellensburg has some new freshmen prospects to add to their lettermen. RELICS MEET DOOM Richmond A. C. Defeats Disguised Normalites 31 to 34 Disguised in the Junior Varsity yellows, six "rejuvenated" Relics met their doom at the hands of Richmond A. C. in Vancouver; B. C, last Friday night, 31 to 34. Tonight the Relics meet the Vancouver club on the Whatcom court at 8 o'clock. No admission will be charged. There will be girls', and boys' games. The Richmond A. C.'' won the Greater Vancouver League cham pionship and lost out in the game deciding who should play in the Quebec finals for Canadian Class A champions. Their girls' team won the Lower.Vancouver championship. The first half of the game found the Relics holding a 16-5 lead over the Club with the locals playing great ball. In the final period the Bellingham boys were beginning to weaken and soon were overtaken by the Canadians. With one minute to go and the score 31-31 the opposition converted a free throw and a long field goal. ; The squad was composed of Jackie Hogan; Arvie :Griffen, Jimmie Stoddard, Hadie Zwaschka, Davie Jones and Jimmie Campbell, all of whom rode In.Davie's "Chev", making the t r ip up ^ e x a c t l y four hours. ^Tonight's game should be plenty fast with practically the same men not only got the brains, but they've got good looks and plenty of speed. Were we jubilant when we heard that Oregon State spanked Southern California in the play-off series for the coast championship? Ever since the time we saw lanky Ed Lewis, and his team mates in action, we've had a "case" on the Staters and have' been pulling for them. Now we're happy and especially so, because it brings the title up here in the north. The Trojans copped the conference in football and they've got no right to hog all the gravy. Rumors of a volleyball league have reached us and we think it's a good idea... The more sports, the better. * A few faculty members have been playing volleyball regularly of late and they plan to get up a team that will hack some of the cockey school kids. We're glad to see the faculty taking an interest in athletics, and we've noticed that this physical exercise keeps them healthy and in good! spirit—Yeah, they/ can still flunk us with a smile on their faces! The weather is getting rosy and our spirits are becoming buoyant. Hot darn! Now that tests are over, we're looking forward to a good time during vacation. If we had the cash, we'd buy a racket and some tennis balls and some golf balls, but as it is, we'll just have to take it on the chin like the rest of you suckers and sit home and shell peas for mother! But, anyhow, we (yes, and we include the girl friend) will burn up plenty of shoe leather on some of the pretty, out-of-the-way trails in this neck of the woods—and we hope you have a lot of fun, too! So, folks, eat lots and get out in the sunshine and fresh air so that when you come back to Normal next quarter, you'll look happy and act spunky.—Solong! TOiNAiENTS TO BE HELD IN FOUR SPORTS IN SPRING Tennis, Horseshoes, Handball, and Golf Are Chosen by the P. E. Department HANDBALL IS FAVORITE BRIGHT TAKES MILE Former Normalite Wins Event in Meet with Stanford Norman Bright, one of Normal's greatest milers running under the direction of Coach Sam Carver, is continuing to make himself known in track circles along the coast. Saturday at Palo Alto, he participated in a dual track meet between Stanford and the Olympic club and won his event in the good time of 4:25.8. Norman is now attending Stanford but because he was ineligible to run for his alma mater, he ran for the Olympic team and defeated his schoolmates. He attended the local institution for three years and in one meet covered the mile in 4:24.6. Last year he r a n for the West Virginia A. C, in a meet with the University of Washington to beat his best time for the distances, by running it in 4:19.5. RACE IS UNCOVERED Ancient City on Mississippi River Now Being Excavated Teaspoons and orange sticks were used to uncover the fact that Columbus appeared on the job several thousand years too late, and that a forgotten race, well on its way to civilization, thrived, changed, and died in that corner of Kentucky where the Ohio and Mississippi rivers unite. The site of this ancient city, which flourished at the time when Babylon ruled the known world is being excavated, almost grain by grain, by Fain W. King of Paducah. In addition to the bones of over 1,000 bodies, there is revealed an almost solid mass of watte work (a sort of brick) broken crockery, arrow heads, ornaments and wood ashes from the fires of centuries. j The Call of Spring Brings Many i Track Men Out of Moth Balls I n spring a young man's fancy turns to poetry, art, and sometimes even to track. These bright, sunny days have attracted many aspiring track stars to the out-of-doors and any day you can see an aggregation of cinder kickers burning up the track. Evidently Schlilaty thinks there are too many men out, or there is too much competition. The other day he tried to kill a half dozen by tossing a discus in their midst. Fellows who have been veterans of Indian warfare will probably get along the best, or survive best the barrage of arrows that fly around the track every day. Wide Training Provided A fellow, by turning out for track now, can get a taste of about every sport there is except ice hockey or water polo, and I don't know about the latter—some of the fellows were out wading around the track in the rain the other day. But basketball —every day it sprinkles the aspirants collect in the gym and toss a couple of baskets. and jump rope for awhile—the pansies! They; get a taste of-football, too, at least .they get to kick and pass it. More Hazards in Sight , Yeah, ispofce about arrows awhile ago, but that ain't all—these darn training school kids are out there with an honest-to-goodness baseball, and if a fellow doesn't get socked on the head more than twice he is lucky. ^* Sacrifices Made Then, of course .there are the disadvantages of getting sore muscles— a lot of fellows will have to give up davenport wrestling, now for track, or a lot will have to give up track for davenport wrestling. It all depends in which the fellow is most proficient. If he can get farther in track, he'll remain out for track. Under Fepair Chet Partis of the Everett ditch digger's union,, has been smoothing the track down for the boys so they won't stumble over the clumps of moss and the shyers that were put there to keep the grid iron men from fracturing their skulls—as if ivory could be damaged as easily as that. Polish underwear has been issued to all the men so they won't get their poor1, pink, little limbs all sunburned by the naughty sun. According to.Coach Sam Carver, there has been a satisfactory turnout and, of- course, there r is) t h e usual number of Spanish' a f l ^ t e s ; ; -~ Men students are now signing up for the various ladder tournaments which will start at the beginning of the spring quarter. Four tournaments have been decided upon, for tennis, golf, handball and horseshoes. The horseshoe tournament seems to hold the interest of most of the men. Twenty were signed up yesterday PPPPP

BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Friday, January 10, 1935 Outstanding Ten Chosen by Staff Of Annual Book Men and Women From Class of Junior-Seniors Selected for Honored Place Why are you here? I received a variety of answers to this question. Some of them follow. 1. "I really want to be a teacher." 2. "Because I haven't enough money to get out of town." 3. "I'm going here so that sooner or later I can earn my bread and butter." 4. "Oh, just for the h 1 of it." 5. "I want more than a high school education. This is my best chance to get it.' 6. "I had the impression I was going here for an education. I took college problems. Now I don't know." All of which should prove something or other. Figure the moral out for yourself—Good mental stimulant. Service Is Selection Basis Presidents and People Otherwise Honored Are Eliminated Byrd Here Wednesday "Sweets to the sweet", said he gallantly, handing her a sack of nuts, To attain the ranks of the fourth estate, it seems that one must have read "Winnie-the-Pooh." Stumbling into a group of the school's so-called intellectuals the other day, I discovered that they were discussing —not the Quantum Theory, but the human counterparts of A. A. Milne's immortal characters. It was interesting to note that Nancy Jane Smith was compared to that efficient organizer, "Rabbit," who always wanted to be sure that everyone knew exactly what he was to do. And all of you who remember Julius Dornblut Jr. (I ask you, how could one forget?— cannot help but see his resemblance to "Eeyore," The Original Wet Blan ket, the "Dont mind me—I'm just an accident". Chosen for their personality and the services they have rendered the school, five men and five women from the junior-senior class were selected as outstanding by the Klipsun staff at its meeting Thursday- afternoon. Following an annual custom the ten people whom the staff feels are giving enough to the school to deserve its thanks will be considered and that people who are Before balloting, the start decided that only juniors or seniors would be considered and that people woh are given important places in other parts of the book . . . such as presidents of the student body. Men's club, or Women's league . . . would not be voted upon. Combining a rather awesome intelligence with a. distinctive type of wit, Bob Hartley was a unanimous choice. Joe Hager, member of the Board of Control, was another first selection. The staff felt that Cliff Johnson, should receive recognition for his work in popularizing Normal football and so placed him on the "five". Oscar Svarlien's campaign speeches and work on the Board of Control gained his selection, while a majority of the staff felt that the work of Oscar Star-lund as president of the Mens club and the sophomore class, and as student dancing instructor should gain him the limelight. The clever assembly speeches and executive ability of Mabel Rolle and Nancy Jane Smith earned them a place of honor among the women. Helen Griffith's work as assembly pianist gained her the esteem of many staff members while all felt that Esther Gius, known to all through her work in the reserve Fisher Pleased With Progress On Gymnasium Recent Holidays Prove Beneficial In Work on P E Building States Prexy Sewer Unusually Long Dack, Men Construct New Street To Replace Old Drive Orchestra For Weekly Hops To Be Chosen Five Members of Control Board Retiring; Mllikan, Svarlien Receive Pins Admiral Byrd and William Bowlin, Naoy Pilot,, scan taking off on a flight of exploraiion •Sponsored by the Daughters of the American Revolution and the Daughters of the Pioneers, Admiral Richard E Byrd will lecture Wednesday January 15, at the American theater. • To illustrate his lecture, Admiral Byrd uses nine reels of motion pictures taken on his recent expedition at Little America.

E. building, according to President Fisher. The Hen-rickson- Alstrom Construction Co., general contractors from Seattle, have gone ahead with their work without delay. If the weather permits, there will be continuous progress on the construction of the building. "All of the necessary excavation has been done," President Fisher explained, "and it is now plain to see where the building is to be located. This gymnasium is to be L-shaped. the small end of the L being the swimming pool. On the long side of the swimming pool will be the necessary equipment for the filitration of the water and for the heating and ventilating of the entire structure. Running north and south of the swimming pool is I the large gmymasium. The contractors are now busy digging holes for the concrete piers that will support the building. It was necessary"to construct a new street to take the place of the old Normal drive. In order to secure a solid foundation the gym had to.be located in the place occupied by the drive. George Dack, head gardener, and his men lire to be congratulated on the excellent job they have performed in making this street. v Running out from the building a sewer is now being constructed to carry off the water from the new building. This sewer is longer than is usually the case in such constructions. Consequently, this involves an extensive piece of work. Another large piece of work in connection with the building will Election of student body officers for the coming year, and rec hours for winter quarter were the main topics of discussion at the first Board of Control meeting held Wednesday afternoon. Because the constitution states that student elections shall be held the third week of the winter quarter it was decided that the nominating convention should meet next Tuesday, January 14. President Gordon Millikan appointed a committee headed by Bob Hartley to supervise the election. Assisting Hartley will be Beverly Holiday and Cliff Johnson. There are five new members to be elected: president, vice-president, two student members and a faculty advisor. Millikan and Oscar Svarlien, as retiring four-quarler memDers of the board, will receive the regular board pins.

Monday morning in the auditorium about 225 freshmen students decided, by taking a test, whether they would take the first part of the Library 101 course, or whether they would be excused. Five lectures were given by Miss Mabel Wilson during the fall quarter on Library Techniques and Usage. She touched on enough to aid the Frosh in using the library during the quarter for study. Miss Wilson also gave out two outlines to study. One contained general information about the building itself along with a floor-plan for each floor. The other gave information about the tools of the library. The test was based on these pamphlets. — o— Mary ---------- Northwest Viking - 1936 January 10 - Page 2 ---------- WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM.

Snow Bound Elections in the Air The most important and controversial topic on the school horizon, now that registration and all the preliminary red tape of the opening of a new quarter is completed, is the forthcoming election. Out of the campaign ballyhoo, stickers, placards, speeches, and more speeches, like a moth from the cocoon, a president, the people's choice, will emerge. Now we are going through a perod of quiescence, calm before-the storm. Planks are being nailed into platforms and old, rusty hatchets are being unearthed, polished, and prepared for use. Ambitious young politicians are busy rehearsing their oratories on long-suffering friends. In spite of the honor, and distinction of being selected to head the student organization it is somewhat of a thankless job. The position carries with it a serious responsibility, for upon the president depends the success of the whole school year. There is no remuneration for this position. It's only reward is the appreciation and respect of the Associated Student body. , . The Book Shelf • Muck • For Morons We Do Out Part; YouDoYo s! You've probably never noticed, but if you make a great effort perhaps you might recall seeing, at some odd time or other a number of peculiar looking things inclosed in boxes at the bottom of the 3rd and 4th pages of the Northwest Viking. The common term for these is "ad", which is the abbreviation of the Word advertisement. The business manager of the Viking solicits the ads from the merchants of this city in whose merchandise the students are likely to be interested and whose prices fit the average student purse. In return for his advertisement the advertiser expects to see a certain amount of student patronage. Unless he gets it, the ad is usually, after a reasonable length of time, discontinued. Without advertising it would be impossible for the Associated Student organization to publish a six column, four page'weekly. All we ask is that you glance over the list of advertisers each week and attempt to give them the benefit of your patronage. No matter how small your purchase is, mention the fact that you saw the ad in the Northwest Viking. Even a package of pins may make the difference between a five- and a siv-column paper. For his fine managership of student affairs during the past school year, we wish to pay our respects to the retiring president, Gordon Millikan. PUGET SOUND FOG George Witter Sherman, former Normal student, has been gaining distinction for his poems. Sherman was graduated from this school in 1927. He also attended, the Campus elementary school, finishing in 1917. While here he was a prominent member of the school's literary circles. He wrote for the "Red Arrow", literary magazine published by the school. He was also a member of the Northwest Viking staff. He is a graduate of the University of Washington and now makes his home in Mount Vernon. The following is one of his recent poems. The city lies spun in the fog's cocoon, And our world shrinks now to a walled-in leaf With roof the colour of remembered grief, And cancelled from the skies are sun and moon. The worm, too old to travel, grows jejune, And having sensed his stay here will be brief, Sleeps* hearing not the bell-buoy on the reef Or the horn's.cry, lost in a near fog-dune. Sealed In by stillness, in the crypt-shaped 'room, He dreams of no existence after this— The wings come slowly on the 'chrysalis, And brushL'against the cerement's crumbling bands; Then;* the bright angel lifts his shining hands, And noiselessly the stone rolls from the tomb. —GEORGE WITTER SHERMAN By «N» By And a good, good evening, ladles and gents.

By Oscar Svarlien LIVING PHILOSOPHIES, a series of intimate credos, was copyrighted first in 1930 by the Forum Publishing Company, and in 1931 by Simon and Schuster, Inc. The reading of this book, which comprises interesting sketches from twenty-two outstanding world authorities in the fields of science, religion, ethics, and politics, provide pleasure and benefit to lay and learned alike. The language is not too involved and technical to be beyond the understanding of anyone. The topics under treatment are for the most part not only timely, but sufficiently profound to give enlightenment to the one who has had the good fortune to advance his or her education beyond the eighth grade. Space does not allow the introduction of all the authors separately. Suffice it to say that among them are Albert Einstein, Bertrand Russell, John Dewey, Robert Andrews Millikan, Fridtjof Nansen, Sir James Jeans, Sir Arthur Keith, J. B. S. Haldane, and Hu Shih. Those, and many others have helped by their contributions, to make LIVING PHILOSOPHIES the literary treasure it" is. The effect the reader experiences, as he is lifted from summit to summit in this range of intellectual peaks, it not only enlightening but extremely refreshing. Bertrand Russell traces briefly the high points of circumstances which contributed to his extraordinary development. Early in life this unusual intellect was liberated from the dogmas and orthodoxy associated with the narrow confines of conventions and institutionalized practices. Dr. Hu Shih, the brilliant student of John Dewey and the father of the Chinese Renaissance, is also extremely stimulating. In a fearless and frank manner he relates his dramatic breaking away from the old religion and superstitious rituals of his ancestors. His early education in America made him an ardent lover of western culture After having drunk of the fountain of realism to his heart's content he returned to China. His credo is ultramodern even in the Occident. • In this work the range of opinion stretches clear from Theodore Dreiser to the "gloomy' Dean Inge of St. Paul's, but in reading one is conscious of the sincerity and deep conviction of the writers. o Periodical Parade By Peterson Miss Ethel Church, secretary to President Fisher, was the guest of Miss Margery Brighouse at Fort Bellingham on New Years eve.

And not being content to take their initial beating from the J. C. Penney team on Tuesday evening, the Junior Vikings took their second loss Wednesday night from the Paper Mill five. Tbo much Christmas vacation spoiled the chances of the Jay-vees of taking the city league lead, when the J. C. Penney quintet scored a 33 to 26 win at the YMCA. Jim Moscrip, a Normal student, led the Penney outfit with 12 points. The Jay-vees scored quite evenly, Pat Jacobson scoring seven and Kluge six. * Play Two Overtimes The Pacific Coast Paper Mills turned in an upset by taking the Jay-vees in a thrilling game in which two overtimes were played before the mill men won, 41 to 40. The game ended with the score tied at 33. The mill men quickly scored three^ points in the first overtime, but a field goal by Kluve and a foul shot by Jerry Jacobson tied it up again at 36 all.

The Vikings have been practicing at 8:00 each evening in the Whatcom gym. Although the squad has been practicing regularly, the coach has not decided on any definite first team string for this quarter's games.

All he did for dear old Lappy was to take three of his star players away from him and send three back in exchange. Sorta even up, eh? Greggs, one of the stars Lappy lost, didn't appear to be as good a book star as he was a basketball star; hence we find him gone back to the home town where he will be free to fondle a basketball to his heart's content, with no books around to heckle and haunt him all the day long. Zambas, another of Lappy's pet bucket-tossers, was advised by the doctor to retire from school until his heart ^recuperated a little from excessive sports. Maybe sports wasn't the only thing that troubled his heart; who knows? White, the third lost player, seems to have entirely. dropped out of existence Getting back to the three hoop-sters Santa traded Lappy, we find a track and basketball giant from Lincoln high in Seattle, toddling around with the Varsity basketball string. Bob Phair is the newcomer's stage name (maybe it's his real name for all we know.) Bob bumps his head on the door sill at 6 feet 5 inches. Coach Carver gets a cut out of Lappy's present this time because Bob is a dual performer. As well as being a whiz on the basketball floor, Bob is capable of stretching his legs at a pretty fast rate on the track. The other two trade-ins are Jerry Pence, cousin of Bob Pence, and Ted Dziedzic, who tips the scales at 145 pounds. It remains to be seen now what kind of a team Lappy will mould out of his old players and new recruits. The weather man no more we'll bribe, For winter sports we have inside, So let it rain or shine or snow —and see if we care! (With apologies to Mother Goose.) Winter quarter's sports' program is off! This flying start took wing Monday when the WAA council met and chose coaches, managers, and sports to be offered; Tuesday was proclaimed the first basketball turnout, with all enthusiasts answering the call. Pact is, there were so many they were running around in circles—or was that an apperceptive drill, or what will you? None the less, with Miss Mildred Jewell as coach, Anne Decker as manager, and Tuesdays and Thursdays to play, we're in for a spell of thorough limbering, and a good grease job on those rusty joints.

Vernon by Score of 27-8; Carver, Stutz, Stars; Phair Is Squad Center Italian Athletes To Play Vikings Bob Galer, Jack Hanover, and Other Ex-Husky Players Here Monday' If the Vikings win the game to be played next Monday evening against the Italian Athletic club of Seattle, Coach Lappenbusch believes that his team will be a good match to any other team on the liill-top calendar. Bob Galer, who is a player on the Italian team, was a high scorer when he attended the University of Washington. Jack Hanover, Huntley Mc- Phee, Dick Cook, Jack Ancich, and Don Wyman, all former University players, Joe Murray, center from the University of Oregon frosh team, and Steve McNeil, from Washington State college at Pullman, all represent a few more flies in Lappen-buschs ointment. Lappenbusch will probably start his lineup with Phair, Vander- Griend, Carver, Stutz, and Dombroski. bzeidzic and Muck will undoubtedly get a chance in the game if the performances shown at the Mount Vernon Junior college game means anything. Both players are pretty heavy scorers. Phair, a 6 foot 5 inch youngster and a three-year letterman for both backetball and track, comes from Lincoln high in Seattle. He should prove a help to the Viking cause. A large crowd of local basketball fans is expected. The game will commence at 8:30 p.m. in the Whatcom gym. Bartons and Daniels halls will play in the preliminary game starting at 7:30 p. m. o Star Hoop Player Has Heart Attack Tony Zambas, Viking football and basketball star, was forced to give up his school work and sport activities temporarily, due to a weak heart. According to Coach Lappenbusch, Zambas' heart was normal under ordinary conditions, but very weak after a strenuous game of football or basketball. The doctor advised Zambas to give up sports for a few months to enable him to recuperate. Although he will miss one quarter of basketball, he plans on being back next fall to turn out for football. He has obtained a job for the winter, and spring quarters of 1936. The loss of this man will mean a serious loss to the Viking basketball squad as he was one of the team's best long shooters Students!

Many Freshmen Enter Because some old students have dropped out, the total enrollment for the school is expected to be about the same as for the fall quarter, which was 700. It is believed that there are more first quarter freshmen entering this winter quarter than there were last year. Last winter 40 freshmen entered. Official figures on registration will not be available until the end of next week when the final checking is done. Bever Is Absent In the absence of Dean Bever, registrar, Miss Nora B.

WASHINGTON Friday, December 4, 1936 We The People By Skinner and Gooding High Street Scene: Normal student jauntily whistling down the hill, tangling with high C's and E flats (Flat is right) indiscriminately, tagged by half-a-dozen dogs of all makes picked up along his route. A would-be dog-catcher with a Pied Piper complex. « # * * * Fifty years ago in an unheralded feat, an obscure Philadelphia doctor revolutionized medical theory and practice when he used an anesthesia while performing an operation. Since this, surgical science has: progressed much further along anesthetical lines, introducing many various opiates and their derivatives and non-nauseating ethers which facilitate John and Jane Doe's almost enjoying an operation. Now if science could only keep us awake in the ever-present 8:00 oclock's—. Another problem confronted slot-machine opponents last week when a Denver imbiber was caught leaning precariously against one of the new "drop-a-nickel-park-an-hour" parkomelers with a few paltry nickels left in his hand. The gentleman was loudly proclaiming to sympathetic onlookers that the machine was wronging him; that he had put in $5.75 and hadn't realized a ntckle in-return. Tacoma residents roared with laughter at the announcement that a prominent hamburger manufacturer was suing the city for damage incurred when local electricians erred while wiring his shop for city electricity. Previous to the announcement, the 200-pound butcher had turned the switch to his new hamburger machine and awaited results. Before he could act hamburger adorned walls, windows, and 200 pounds, of butcher. The infernal machine now runs in reverse, turning out hamburgers backwards— quite a novelty. Strike pickets have finally developed a sure-fire method for 'picketing non-conforming business concerns. When the time for arbitration has passed, unionists will lie supinely on the space around the building, or buildings, close together. Thus any attempt to enter Would be frustrated, on the theory that ordinary people are too squeamish to tramp upon human bodies, for fear of resultant bodily violence. Countless flaws may be detected in this development --of forces however, since numerous colds, backaches, and other aches will probably dampen enthusiasm greddy. And then loo, what will they do when cold winter comes and they're all out of crumbs? They'll be eating, but no one could ever catch them tweet-tweet-tweeiin. Teutonic tatooers are in the midst of a business boom due to Der Fuhrer's iron-clad political prejudices. Optimistic cohorts of pre- Hitler factions enthusiastically had had various party emblems superimposed upon their chests, arms, et cetera, much to their later dismay when the present dynasty was promulgated contrary to expectations. The removal operation, consisting of the application of a chemical to the skin, allowing it to harden, and then ripping the design off, epidermis and all, has liberated hundreds permitting them to once more visit gt; the beaches without fear of censorship. One sample symbol was the Russian insignia of the "Hand; Flail, and Scythe" which adorned some invert's torso in a too conspicuous spot. New Certificates Important Issue Life Diplomas May Be Abolished; Board" Takes Final Action Next Week Of interest to students are the issues that will, come before the State Board of Education when it meets at Olympia next Monday and Tuesday, December 7 and 8. The chief of these matters is the new plan for certification of teachers of elementary schools. Under this new plan, three things have been accomplished. First, it simplifies the number of certificates for the teachers; secondly, it makes necessary four years of preparation for all elementary and junior high school teachers within a reasonable period of time. A certificate will be granted for three years of preparation and after two years of successful teaching, an additional year of preparation necessary whereupon a standard certificate will be issued. About six years are allowed in which to get this fourth year of Normal school work. Thirdly the plan abolishes the life diploma. It offers in its place a renewable certificate which must be renewed every six "years. The State Board will determine when this plan will become effective. However, this part regarding the life diplomas is not retroactive and applies only to new teachers. o Edens Hall Dance Plans Under Way Edens hall informal plans are settled and work has begun on the decorations and . programs. The motif for tht dance is a winter wonderland and the Blue room will be decorted in a winter scene with a large snowball in the center of the room. The refreshments will be served in a log cabin which will be covered with snow and icicles. Stars of many sizes will be suspended from the ceiling, forming the starlit night with a large moon in the winter atmosphere. The programs will be made of white velvet in the shape of a snowball, lined . with silver paper. The faculty guests for the dance will be Miss Florence Johnson, Dean of Women Miss Nell Bryant, Miss Gertrude Longley, and Miss Marion Lea. ICC Proposes Exchanging of Club Speakers Plan to Acquaint Clubs with One Another Awaits Approval Of Members Discussionists Join ICC Men Granted Extension of Time For Reorganization A new resolution was made at the Inter-Club council meeting Wednesday afternoon and another was brought up for approval. The council, headed by Mildred Fackler, resolved to recognize the Discussion club as an organized club. Also they granted the Men's club commission an extension of time to organize their fellowmen The names of next quarter's assembly speakers were read, giving the clubs interested in the different topics a chance to invite them to lunch for further discussion. A move was made to arrange for exchanging speakers from the various clubs. This -would mean that a club having an open date on its calendar might have a member of some other club speak on what their club stands for, its views and purpose. In short, it would be a means of acquainting the varied interests in the school with each other. This move will be voted on in each of the clubs. A committee appointed to look after this is as follows: Georgia Harris, Mildred Bean, Marion Haydon, Ralph Friedman, and Ed Tomco. Football Team Selects Tarte As Inspiration Inspirational Award Given Star Viking Fullback For Second Consecutive Year Cup To Be Inscribed Soon Members of Squad Vote Upon Outstanding Teammate To fullback Morris Tarte goes the distinctive honor of having his name engraved for the second time on the inspirational cup as this year's most outstanding player in regard to both sportsmanship and playing ability. The choosing of Tarte was accompanied through the voting of every man on the squad as he turned in his equipment at the end of the season. Playing football as a star back-field man in Custer high school, plus a semester's work at Washington State college, and three years of first string Normal varsity gave the Viking fullback the experience necessary to place him among the most outstanding ground-gainers in the Northwest. Tarte played in every game this year and was absent only from the first half lineup of the St. Martins' game. Coach Lappenbusch in praise of Tarte says, "The Vikings would have won that game if Morris had played the first half." The inspirational award, now in its third year, is given a player on the basis of his attitude, personality, good sportsmanship, and geniality toward his teammates. State Theatre New Movement Valkyries Sponsor Luncheon for Flade Holding a short business meeting the Valkyrie club met last Tuesday evening at 4:00 o'clock. Marion Hayden, president, announced that the organization was to sponsor the Women's League tea, Thursday afternoon. The members were assigned definite duties by the social chairman, Lou Pulver. The Valkyries are also planning to sponsor a luncheon for Tina Flade, the dancer who is appearing in assembly on Tuesday. It will be given in Edens Hall clubroom and the tickets will be 25 cents. Girls living in Edens hall may obtain them for five cents. Blue Triangle Group Wrap Christmas Gifts; Toys to be Distributed As part of their Christmas project, members of the Blue' Triangle club wrapped Christmas gifts at the regular meeting held last Tuesday evening in the club house. The gifts are to be distributed among needy^ children in Bellingham. Members of the social service committee donated Christmas cards to be used with the presents. On December 13, the girls will sing Christmas carols at one of the local hospitals and will also present bulbs of different plants to the patients. _ '/•'.. Burton James, Director of Washington Project, Emphasizes That It Is Entirely Separate from W P A Plan By Sybil Hinchliffe "Washington State Theatre has nothing whatever to do with the national WPA theatre movement," emphasized Burton W. James, during an interview Monday evening immediately following the presentation of "The Comedy of Errors" at Lynden. Mr. James, who has been in the theatre business for over twenty-five years, is the director of the project, and manager of the Repertory Playhouse, civic theatre of Seattle. Mr. and Mrs. Burton James have both been directing work at the Repertory Playhouse for the last nine years. Previous to that time Mr. and Mrs. James taught at Cornish school and at the University of Washington. However, at the present time they are in no way affiliated with either school. Made Possible Through Rockefeller Grant "Washington State Theatre, first of its kind in. America, is a touring company founded by the State Department of Public Instruction. It has been made possible through a grant donated by tne Rockefeller Foundation of New York. It is under the supervision of the Repertory Playhouse of Seattle. "Our purpose is to present drama of the highest calibre to young people, especially high school students, to condition them to the best in dra- (Continued on Page Four) o Faculty Chat Put Off Until Next Wednesday; Attendance Is Urged X The first faculty chat having failed in its purpose, was postponed until next quarter., The purpose of these informal chats being to establish out-of-class relations between faculty and students, those interested were disappointed with the meagre turnout. The faculty feels that the only way these discussions can be successful is in attracting a fair number of students and not just faculty members. The discussion leader does not hope to attract students from his classes but thinks .that students should come and get acquainted with the teachers they do not have. Mr. V. H. Hoppe, to head the first discussion next quarter, said, "Out of a student body of 700 there must be 25 who would really enjoy such discussions. Twenty-five would be an ideal number."

Silver Lining While the European nations stand like a bunch of hungry beasts glaring at each other, all waiting but for a single suspicious move to spring at each other's throats the "American family of nations" are joining hands in an attempt to strengthen the bonds of friendship and cooperation, vowing, in face of foreign aggression, "to consult together for our mutual safety and our mutual good." At die recent Pan-American conference President Roosevelt and President Agustin Justo of the Argentine republic both stated, though in very different words, that they hoped the Americas might present an example of peace and brotherhood to the distressed nations of the world—an ideal which might help to guide them through the storm clouds which now hang so low over their heads. Even though economists say in accents lugubrious —it will be impossible for America to stay out of another major conflict—it is a bright spot on a black horizon to find that any group of nations is thinking, hoping, planning together for anything but war and destruction. "Wallie, Wallie" Everywhere Running true to form America has gone wild over "Wallie" Simpson, potential queen of England or Duchess of Cornwall. It won't be long till something like this will appear on every billboard— IS YOUR HAIR DULL AND LIFELESS? USE "WALLIE'S RAVEN RINSE" and get absolutely free an official copy of King Edward's proposal as heard through a keyhole by Walter Winchell. Campi Coast to Coast By Walt Skinner The blue of the eyes of newborn infants is due to the colloid state like the sky and skimmed milk—thus we are informed by Dr. William Foster, chemistry professor of Princeton. Undergraduates there have also made a study of baby blue eyes, but these have not helped science any^ it is feared. * * * * * When Yale sold the football rights to an oil company there was no serious complaint from the public. The merger was a natural—a couple of refiners getting together for mutual betterment. This week's prize goes to the lad from Pennsylvania who put effervescent and fiddlestick in one sentence He said, "Effervescent enough covers on the bed your fiddlesticks out." We think the women at BSNS outnumber the men! —Enrollment statistics at the University of Detroit show a total enrollment of 77 men and 5,543 women. Wonder if they have dance class. Whoa! Rodeo sports are almost replacing football at the Cheyenne school at Colorado Springs. Bucking broncs and wild steers are considered less of a social menace, we guess. University of Carolina co-eds are liable to a fine of $40 or a jail sentence of six days if they are caught wearing a fraternity pin. 1 thought they had chain gangs down South. At Marquette university, all students living in frat houses have their names, characteristics, and peculiarities on file at the police station. Looks like the tenders of the local Bastile are playin' it cagey. A frosh in the University of Illinois law school, failing to awaken in time for a final examination, Has sued his jeweler for $1,000 damages on account of the mental agony caused by the tinkerers tardiness in repairing his alarm clock. Popularity must be deserved, according to the women at Missouri university. Those who signed a pledge hot to eat more than 15 cents* worth of food when out on dates are being deluged with demands. Turkey Talk Out from the shambles, the remnant, the left-overs, through the gleanings of a memorable feast, there came a mighty wave of controversy concerning the relative joys and merits of a turkey dinner, and a steak-eating saturnalia. Months of fruitless arguing left much to be solved: the feasting on Thanksgiving day gave way to a break in hostilities, but the question remained throughout: Whether the golden, succulent ecstasy of that noble bird surrounded by the pungent tang of cerise-colored cranberries and the savor of steaming, spicy dressing graced by the crispness of autumn air indu-cive to the crexus for turkey, or the king of beef, a tender, transcendent steak, equally juicy, cooked to a medium brown, oozing deliciously with self-wrought gravy flowing with the aid of that queen of condiments, salt, and minutely caressed by pepper (are you getting hungry, folks), all accompanied through the person of butter-soaked fried potatoes, peas, and carrots. The battle of the ages continues: turkey or not turkey. Can you solve the mystery? To that person will come fame, connoisseurs and virtuosos and all companion ills. One's brain reels to think of the maze of possibilities. And so we leave you writhing in agony, gasping for air, grasping for fame, in pensive thought-wondering, wondering what it's all about. o Dear Mama I will not writing to you of the Informally at those Edens hall, because I not getting no Invite, and I are going to cultivating own intellect instead of socially side. Of late I spending much time at those library, improving own mind reading in many book of different color. I finding several large vol-umns by Mr. Brittannica, which very goodly, but change subject too frequent. One sadly experience causing Wata much embarassingly • feeling. I trying to looking for large, forbidding word in dictionary by those smart Mr.Webster. Dictionary awful huge. Wata cannot see good, as book up too high. I glancing to right and left. No one looking. Goodly I reaching up to iifting those book from shelf, when own foot slipping and Webster descending on poor defenseless boy like ton of brick. Your overwhelmed son WATA TOMATA o Heading Towards Eden's Blue Room Hello! What's this? Could it represent the Informal that the Edens Hall girls are giving tomorrow night? Bet a lot of men will be seeing the inside of Edens for the first time. Of course there have been othre Important events such as the faculty reception and the presentation of "The Late Christopher Bean," held in the Blue room; but don't you think that the Informal will bring around some faces heretofore not seen about the dorm? Have a good time for it is the last big school dance this quarter. Highbrowitties By Robert J. McConnell Our school is kept thoroughly clean; thanks to the janitor, N.Y.A. students and other assistants. In the clean school are—students. They bring in dirt, etc. for .the cleaning staff to remove. Or, does the cleaning staff remove dirt that the students may bring it in? I wonder-so do the janitors. Anyway, it's a jolly circle, with the janitors holding their own. The new PE building offers a wonderful chance to the athletically inclined to work off the lethargy pressing upon them this week from t h e phenomenal gluttony of Thanksgiving day. The student body returned to school about two tons heavier than when it left. Should you contract anything from a cold to a fever, treat yourself to the nurse's office. "A code in de nodes" can be fixed as efficiently as the concomitant absence from classes. The office is, however, primarily concerned ---------- Northwest Viking - 1936 December 4 - Page 3 ---------- •:£* •• {•• w gt; WASHINGTON S1WTC NORMAL SCHOOL BELLING^ VIKING FIVE SMOTHERS RICHFIELD OIL VIKING MANOR LEADS : "A" LEAGUE y Looking It Over By Nelson As the end of this quarter draws iiear, varsity basketball bows itself into the spotlight. It's about time for a schedule to appear on this sheet, but as yet, "Chuck" Lappenbusch has not been able to get a complete and satisfactory schedule arranged. The apologies are that the other schools will not cooperate and answer their letters. Look if or the schedule next week. | There will be only two varsity games .this quarter; tests prohibiting any more than that. For next week there is a possibility of a game with either a Seattle ball club or with a team from British Columbia. DON'T BUSH Students who are planning upon leaving for home right after their classes Friday, the day before school is dismissed, had better write home to their folks and inform them that they wont be home until Saturday. Why? Because there is going to be a big basketball game that Friday night that every student should attend. So don't rush home, you rooters, stay and see the game; Santa Claus will wait for you. FACULTY FROLICS Versatile—it aptly describes our WSNS faculty. On homecoming they play baseball, (alias kittenball), they conduct faculty chats, (a little more reserved than a student bull-fest) and now they have decided to take the opportunities offered by the new pool and are organizing a splash club for themselves. That's just fine "teaches," keep young with your "stoogents." It will be a help to students and teacher both. HONORS Congratulations, Tarte! You have earned an honor that will be un-equaled for a long time in this institution. I am sure the students, as well as the team, will be proud of seeing your name placed on the cup for the second- time. Aberdeen must take for granted that it is their obligation to supply oia* school with athletes. A sports writer sincerely believed Dombroski and Vandergriend when they told him they were scouting for the Vikings during Thanksgiving vacation; anyhow, they inserted an article in the city paper to that effect. The former Olympic mark of 6:03:2 established by the University of California eight in 1928 was bettered by the Husky winners this summer. c Oregon lost but 5 out of 19 conference games from 1929 to 1932. St. Mary's walloped the Ducks four times during this span of fine play. o Johns Hopkins university is sacking a fund of $600,000 to balance its budget.

The Cats lead 12 to 10 at the end of the first canto but the Vikings, with a whirlwind passing attack, came out on top in the dying minutes of the thrilling game. P. Jacobson, of the Vikings, scored 7 points while Bowe scooped up 8 for the loosers. Summary: Viking Manor (20) Alley Cats (18) Dwelley 2 Bowe 8 Brooks 5 Murphy 4 J.

The "W" club kept adding to then-score from the opening whistle at the same time kept the Southerners bottled up with their close defense. Summary "W" Club (23) South Side (11) Krueger 6 Smith 0 Turk 0 Evlch 4 Dzurick 5 Armstrong 4 Skinner 6 Johnson 3 Starlund 6 Beehan 0 In the first game after the holidays, the rising South Siders played heads up ball to subdue the Frosh five by a score of 25 to 18. The Southerner's airtight defense cracked in the last half but the Yearlings' rally was cut short by the final whistle. Albers of the Frosh was high man with 8 points. Tuesday evening's eyeopener turned out to be "one real" thriller when the Barton quintet hit the comeback trail with a 19 to 17 win over the Frosh. The lead exchanged hands throughout the battle with Barton grabbing the victory in a last minute drive Carlson was high man with 10 points. Washington Husky Rose Bowl Bound Trouncing the Washington State Cougars 40-0 in the Turkey Day battle, the University of Washington Huskies swept away the last barrier betwees them and the honor of being the Pacific Coast Conference representative in the Rose Bowl football classic in Pasadena New Year's day. The voting of the members of the coast conference was mere formality assuring the Husky entrance in the New Year's game. Under the rules of the P.C.C., which organisation does not recognize a champion in its true sense, every member of the body must cast a vote—before noon on the day following the final,game of the championship schedule—to complete the Rose Bowl nomination. The president of the conference notifies the institution so selected and two hours later the news is publicly announced. The nominee selects its own opponent for the annual event. Stoke Up!

Fast and Close Midgets Defeated by N W Vikings In Overtime Battle Played Last Tuesday Handing the Midgets their first defeat of the season, the N. W. Vikings pulled a hard-fought battle out of the fire last Thursday. The rejuvenated Vikings, bettered by the addition of the two "Eds," Tomco and Hudson, scored the upset victory in a fast, good-checking tilt. The game was nip-and-tuck all the way through, with the score standing all tide up at 13 apiece when the final whistle sounded. Jn the 3-minute overtime period, Tomco tossed in the winning tally. McAulay and Terpening gave the victors plenty of trouble as they chalked up 4 points each. The Vikings showed good form in winning their second in a row, their only other victory being marked up when they defeated Mareview hall, November 24* Summary: N. W. Vikings, 15—Midgets, 13. Referee: Sam Carver. Edwards hall took a close one from the hard-fighting Mareview hall quintet last Tuesday. Edwards, Willis, and Hay were the main scorers for the Edwards hall five. Weeks, of Mareview, gave a good account of himself in piling up a total of 7 markers. Funk, also of Mareview, tossed in 3 gift shots to help keep the game interesting. Mareview, trying desperately to win their first game, put up a hard fight, but had to bow to the Edwards team. Taylor was kept busy calling the many fouls made by both teams. ---------- Northwest Viking - 1936 December 4 - Page 4 ---------- WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL; BELLINGHAM. WASHINGTON is School Students Prefer Clubs to School Merriman Finds Students Always Present Wednesday, Club Meeting Day That pupils of the Campus Elementary school are nearly always present Wednesday, no matter how severe-a toohtache they may have on Tuesday/is the observation made by Miss Pearl Merriman, of the Training school. "Campus hobby clubs meet for an hour every Wednesday at 1:00 o'clock," Miss Merriman states, smiling, in explanation of her first remark., Miss Merriman has general charge of hobby clubs in the Campus school. Hobby Clubs' Purpose Hobby clubs have been organized to present to the student new experiences, not received in ordinary class room work. The primary purpose is to acquaint the pupil with students of other grades and ages, to teach him how to work with people of different ages, to develop good leadership and also good fellowship. It presents the individual with.an opportunity to follow some particular line of interest. Yet, a t the same time, it introduces him. to new interests, since he is encouraged to join a new club at the end of each quarter, unless he shows a particular aptitude for some specific work. » Club Membership \ Club membership is limited to twelve or fifteen persons; consequently the club advisor has a much greater chance to give each person individual attention. There are boys and girls in all the clubs, with the exception of t h e textile group, this quarter. This group, all girls, have elected to learn knitting during the present quarter. There are eight clubs in the Campus Elementary school this fall. The textile group has already been mentioned. The others are: art, bookbinding, clay, cooking, typewriting and woodwork. o Charles Lamb was giving a talk at a mixed gathering and someone hissed.

Seattle was a scene of a large display of fireworks Sunday evening, celebrating the settlement of the strike which closed the paper on August 12. Employes returned to work and publication began with the morning edition of the Post-Intelligencer. The usual features of the paper are continued—Arthur Brisbane's column, Today; Once Overs by O. O. Mclntyre; The Morning After, by Royal Brougham; Ripley's "Believe It or Not"; "Bugs" Baer's comments; and popular comic strips such as Popeye, Blondie, Skippy, Barney Google, and others. The general makeup is the same as the P.-I. of former times. o 'Comedy of Errors' Is Recently Well-Received (Continued from Page One) Former Basketball Star Weds Oregon Girl Thanksgiving Day; Dinner Party Given for Alumni Several Students Attend Football Game Beween State College University of Washington in Seattle; Few Students Stay in Bellingham and Lng differences and t he more serious moments of the play at the beginning and the ending were handled with the proper deliberateness of tempo to set off the bustling comedy that intervened.

He said that he felt' certain that the funds would be allowed in Olympia. "If carried out, this improvement would mean that the portion of Normal Drive which goes, between the library and Waldo field would be filled in and paved," Mr. Fisher said. "This includes about 300 feet of the street which is really on our campus. The road will have to be filled in first and allowed to settle for some time before it can be paved. This paving is something that has been needed for quite a long time, and will add a great deal to the appearance of the campus, besides making driving to the school much easier," Mr. Fisher added. —Patronize the Advertisers— an Acknowledged Authority on German Problems normal hoop champs from Ellens burg. The 42-to-21 defeat that the Bellingham squad suffered at the hands of the Wildcats on their recent road trip has strengthened the rivalry of the Vikings against them. On Thursday, February 15, the local quintet will be determined to take some of the cockiness out of Coach Nicholson's team. It isn't only that Ellensburg defeated the Vikings that the Varsity is set on winning this game, but because subs were sent in after the first-string men had run up a large enough score. Promise Competition The Wildcats have proved against W. S. C, whom they defeated once out of two games, and also against the Huskies, that they are capable of giving any team a hard tussle. Their system of play makes use of blocking on the offensive against man-to-man defense. W o r k i ng around the center playing near the foul line, the Wildcat forwards are fast enough to break from their [ guards and usually get a shot at the hoop. Nelson, at center, scored 18 points on push-shots against the Vikings in one half, and will, require some close checking by Fitzer in their next meeting. Sesby and Case, two clever forwards, with Sills and Hock at guard, probably will complete the Wildcats' lineup. Next week's engagements may include either a game against the University of British Columbia or Seattle Pacific college. —Patronize the Advertisers— School Authorities Seeking Injunction That action will soon be started to enjoin State Land Commissioner A.

Mr. Landeen is a distinguished economic analyst and is an acknowledged authority on present day Germany and her problems. He has spent five years of extensive travel in Europe since 1924. Mr. Landeen's intimate acquaintance with Germany and the German people goes back to the prewar days. His knowledge of the subject enables him to speak author - itively and understandingly of the spectacular developments of German Fascism as well as the numerous problems which confront the present dictatorship. —Patronize the Advertisers— Royal Bell Ringers Appear In Musical Concert Today ago. Virtually every branch of pub lie education was represented at the conference, representatives of school districts, normal school, university and State college being present. Showalter Summarizes Bill Dr. N. D. Showalter, superintendent of public instruction, summarized the situation in these words: "As originally passed, the law which we are opposing aimed to allow the state to acquire certain tracts of land along the highways for park purposes. Since that time applications have come in which would take 40,000 acres of the school land, valued at $4,000,000. This would be approximately one-eighteenth of all the timber in the state," he said. day's assembly. This program was played on more than one hundred bells. Selections played on a glass-ophone were also presented. The program was as follows: Among Comrades March (C. Faust), Reverie Russe (F.

A. hall. ments as a college student, she was elected to the honorary scholastic fraternity of Phi Beta Kappa. Following her graduation from college she was a teacher of mathematics and history at the Kidder institute in Missouri. After one year's experience in Missouri she returned to Oberlin, O., where for sixteen years she was connected with the public school system in various positions. At Oberlin she started as a sixth grade teacher. Miss Askew soon became principal of the school in which she taught. For five years she served as principal of a junior high school and then became assistant principal of a senior high school. She gave up her position at Oberlin to pursue special preparation in mathematics at Teachers' college, Columbia university. She came directly from Teachers' college to Bellingham in January, 1931, and has been a teacher of mathematics and social studies in the seventh and eighth grades of our Campus elementary school for the past three years. Miss Askew's instructors always considered her a very capable student. She showed considerable originality and -resourcefulness in organizing material for the teaching of mathematics. She was progressive in her educational outlook and was always alert for new ideas in her teaching. The superintendent of schools of Oberlin had this to say about her: "Of all the teachers that I have known, I would unhesitating ly place Miss Askew in the upper Jobs Not Secure Prexy Says C W A Workers May Lose Jobs Although it was not known at the time of the publication of the paper, President C. H. Fisher said that he thought the students working on CWA jobs would probably not have the privilege of working tomorrow. "We are working hard to try to let the students keep the jobs, but we don't know yet how it will come out," Mr. Fisher said. Four weeks ago thirty students were given jobs at Nor-malstad on Lake Whatcom, clearing the land and doing other necessary work. -Patronize the Advertisers— Vanadis Bragi Club Will Reorganize at Monday Eve Meet Organization Will Study Modern Literature and Current World Problems Race for Honor Is Close Between Albert and Finley HONORED BY '33 KLIPSUN Tuesday's Contest Sponsored by Staff of Klipsun Elizabeth Colbourne Entertained at Edens Luncheon Miss Hazel J.

Why This Fuss About Freedom of The Press In a recent Liberty editorial on freedom of the press, school teachers came in for their share of criticism. They are accused of being shutins with no concept of democracy in action. The editorial goes on to say that educators are unable to take criticism and crave power over the people. We have been saying for some time that the teachers should come out of their shells. We doubt seriously, however, whether the great mass of people have had any more experience with democracy than have the pedagogues. There is something radically wrong in a so-called democracy when its constituents allow to continue a period of unbridled political corruption such as we have had since the war. -Perhaps it is because the instructors have failed to tell their charges that it is not always wise to believe what their paper (or magazine) says. These journals are altogether too often political tools. If Liberty really means that "all teachers want the same power over the public they have had over their pupils" it may be well to ask this flag waving periodical on what grounds it makes such a wild assertion. If it is hitting at the college professors now occupying responsible positions in Washington—that may be a different story. None the less the charge has been mide and may be falsely interpreted by the readers of this weekly. We are rather bored by the vapid idealistic utterances of a pious press which never publishes anything derogatory to its advertisers. We fail to wax enthusiastic in the battle when we hear an-appalling approval of the profit system which allows wheat to be burned while many are without bread. We revolt at the nauseating propaganda which the "free press" of America fed us during the World war. Somehow we feel that this precious freedom guaranteed in the first constitutional amendment has not brought forth nearly enough fruit to compensate for the words wasted on its existence. To drag the schools of America into this windmill attack is extremely bad taste on the part of a very inferior (but widely circulated) magazine. I t may be fun to be fooled but don't fool yourself on this point, "You can't fool all the people all the time." Someone is . going to judge you by your English, so do be careful and not say, "I was raised in Ferndale" (or even Bellingham). Hogs can be raised in either of these scenic spots, but children are reared wherever they are. How are these for a couple of brain teasers? When a house is being demolished it is being razed and when a tree is cut down it is felled although it falls t o t he ground. Another little morsel for thought is the difference between walking into or in a room, the former meaning to enter and the latter merely designating action. Now for a little I. Q. test for your "pooch." Sternly command him to lay down and if he lies down be assured that it is the voice of authority and not your English that he has recognized. On The Barricade By Einar Larson The school has chosen, but never you mind. Remember if you can't afford a valentine you have only twelve days left to pick a fight with the pervading interest. Peace First, Says Hansa\er Books Such as "All Quiet on the Western Front' Bring Different Reactions By Syd Lines You Can Do Your Part When you buy a new hat, galoshes, or suspenders do you patronize a Viking advertiser? Do you tell the business man that you read his ad in your school paper? Viking advertisers are the best merchants in town. They need and deserve your support. It would not be possible to put out a paper without the assistance of downtown businessmen. Why not convince these people that a Viking ad is a mutually helpful transaction by mentioning the fact when you buy? 'We have no time for education, but must first disarm or take the consequences," is what Mr. J. J. Handsaker, of the National Council for the Prevention of War, firmly believes. "Education is necessary as a step to world peace but to prevent the grave international crisis the present mad race for armaments is creating, disarmament must come first." Mr. Handsaker, who is the Northwest secretary for that national organization, stated during an interview that the council has as its aims the education of the people, worldwide reduction of armaments, and finally, world peace. Among the groups participating in this organization are the American Association of University Women, the National Education association, A m e r i c an Federation of Teachers, the American School Citizenship league, national board of Y. W. C. A., and bodies of similar character. Has Varied Interests Besides being an excellent speaker, Mi-. Handsaker is an interesting personality to meet informally. He has traveled widely in the interests of peace movements and talks of them modestly but with the surety of an authority. Too, he is deeply interested in everything concerning YARNS Our Fathers Tell peace movements and is ever on the lookout for some new facts or ideas. "What effect do you think such books as 'All Quiet on the Western Front,' 'The Road Back' and popular books of a similar nature have on the public's attitude . toward war?" he was asked. To answer this he told of its effect on a friend of his: His friend and two sons went to see the motion picture of the former story. His friend left the theater thankful he had been spared the call to arms. His two sons heartily wished they had seen action. Newspapers Influential The Seattle P.-I. and newspapers of the Hearst chain are the most evil influences at work in this country, he believes. They are continually spreading war propaganda against Japan in their newspapers and even in radio programs they sponsor. The Hearst service is entirely responsible for the Spanish- American war, he says. Its campaign of late resembles that of the Cuban war ---------- Northwest Viking - 1934 February 2 - Page 3 ---------- WASHTNCTotfsTATE NORMAL-SC HQOU BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON r«i-. • Hoop Battle To Savages Visitors Make It Two Straights Over Bellingham by Taking Yesterday's Game 45-37 C H E N E Y ' S T E A M CLICKED Peterson High Scorer in Game; Many Fouls Are Called Last night, by a 45 to 37 score, the Cheney Savages defeated the Viking basketball squad for then-second straight victory over the Bellingham team. The winners were ahead 24 to 17 at the half, but only held a one-point advantage in scoring over the Vikings in the second half. Cheney waited for the breaks, made use of them when they occurred, and played well together both defensively and offensively. Peterson with 14 points, ten of which were made in the first half, led the scoring for the Savages. McBeath Starts Drive For a while in the second half it looked as if the local teachers would ,be put entirely to rout, as the Savages counted 8 points before McBeath finally found a chance to swish a long one. This started Bel- —, . « ««*• lingham on a ten point scoring spree Y T r i « l J l f f l C S W i l l led by Frender's three goals. Chen- ^ w »•• • w ey had to be satisfied with two foul shots and a field goal at this point. Many Fouls Called Referee Earl Jewel had his hands full watching fouls. Each team was allowed 19 free shots and by coincidence each squad scored on 11 of them. Vander Griend, one of the Viking's outstanding players of the game, scored on 6 out of 7 free tosses. Fitzer again showed the fans that his longs are not accidental. Three of his four scoring shots were sunk from well out on the floor. He was high scorer for the Vikings with 12 points.

Triangles succeeded in defeating the Normal Junior Varsity by a score of 36-19 in a game played last Wednesday night at the Y floor. This game, the final one in, the B division, gave the "Y" quintet first place in their department of the City league. Both teams started the game playing a cautious brand of ball, but because of their superior ability to pass and shoot, the "Y" casaba team held an 8-point lead at the half. The score at the rest period being 20 to 12. Kvan, center for the winners, played an inspiring brand of ball all evening and emerged with high point honors, scoring 19 points. With theW. A. A.

Now that the introductions are over, it looks like friendships are to be continued. Ping-pong is going to be our hobby, for a while at least. There will be plenty of opportunity for a tourney — providing Mary F i s h er gives the rest a break. Just as they threatened, the Hashers are sitting on top of the basketball list.

Daniels Hall Quintet And Frosh Players Win Monday Games Upsetting the dope bucket, the Daniels hall quintet defeated the Northwest Viking five by the score of 26 to 21 in the first intramural basketball game last Monday, January 29. Led by "Amos" Ames,, who played a flashy game at center, the Daniels hall boys opened fast to take an early lead, which they never relinquished. The Vikings, however, were never more than six points behind and the outcome^ was not settled until the final whistle. Ames, with 14 points, was high scorer of the game, followed by Shenenberger, of the Vikings, with 9, and Hoban, Viking guard, with 6 markers. In the second game the Frosh, playing a smooth and cautious brand of ball, defeated the Thugs, 28 to 14. The Nielson brothers and Joe Hager exhibited a well perfected passing attack for the Freshmen. Claypoole, Frosh guard, also stood out with his stalwart defensive play. Hager led the scoring in this fracas with 10 tallies. Stearns and Kuhns contributed 4 points each to the offensive threat of the Thugs. o Sorensen Leads Foul Shooters With Score 123 From 150 Trys Who will be the champion marksman in the foul shooting contest? Even Swede, the prophet, has nothing to say on the subject, and the contest approaches a doubtful finish. Shenenberger, high last week, has been pushed from his throne by Sorenson, who in turn is glancing fearfully over his shoulder at the growing menace approaching in the form of "Dutch" McBeath. To date Sorenson has a total of 123 shots made from 150 attempts and McBeath follows with a score of 118. The hoopsters have not competed yet this week and though the contest ends next Friday the possible victor is still a subject for arguments. Bellingham Five Lose to Savages Scrappy Viking Team Defeated by Cheney Normal Playing their last game on the trip, the Bellingham Normal team lost to the Cheney five, 20 to 28, in a hard playing, close checking game. In the first half the Savages were held to a single field goal, while Zambas, Fitzer and Sollie tossed in one apiece. The score at half time was 10 to 5 for the Vikings. In the first minutes of the second half the Savages rallied and gained the lead by Peterson's constant dropping of long shots. For the Vikings the entire squad played good ball, although their checking was a little loose in the last minutes of play. o Swede The Prophet Did you ever win a prophecy? Well we did! We've got the words, but will someone please find the tune for us? This is going to be our theme song from now on, so prepare yourself! AMOS AND TOMCO STAR A wrist lock that sent Mike* spinning through the air started the fireworks. No sooner had he recovered than Amos was seen stretched out on the canvas—from what, we don't know, because Mike hasn't labeled that one yet. Such were the actions of Friday night's W club smoker in the little gym. The next move saw Referee Miller tied in a knot and it began to look like Coach Lappenbusch was going to be. without a halfback next fall, but luckily for him, he squirmed loose from the grappling Gorilla and proceeded with his job as the crowd roared. Willie Toby showed too much resistance for Hudson with his left jabs and covering up tactics, so Hudson was unable to connect with many blows in the main event of the boxing. George Albee carried away the championship of Italy when he was given the verdict over Dominic Ifculjis after almost pinning him to the mat twice with his half- Nelson. "One-Punch" Ault was unable to find the combination to Arne Johnsen's left jab that was continually rapping his face and abdomen. With the grand prize still at large, Hammon and Gillies will have to settle out of the ring, as they twisted necks and tossed each other around until Referee Miller threw it out as a draw. Odell and Ullin furnished plenty of excitement with swinging haymakers that landed with resounding thuds that could be heard from all angles of the gym. The curtain raiser was a slashing affair between Davidson and Willis, who fought to a draw.

The ballroom will have the semblance of the studio of none other than the famous Walt Disney. The featured guests of the evening will be Minnie and Mickey, chaperoned by Pluto and the Three Little Pigs with Big Bad Wolf blowing along after them. The programs to be used are apparently a deep dark secret (except to a few). Bob Sherwood, program committee chairman, promises, however, that they will be very unusual —even to the extent of uniqueness. It is said that a well planned party is the best. If this is true, all the preparations that Bun Miles has been making on the dance certainly tend to a huge success. Tonight's the night—just grab your girl friend by the hand, join the crowd and dance in cartoon land. Board of Control to Hold Banquet Fri., February 9 Bellingham Hotel to be Scene of Quarterly Affair for Administration Friday, February 9, is the date set for the quarterly Board of Control banquet, to be held at the Bellingham hotel. Dick Albert, chairman of the affair, will act as master of ceremonies to introduce the speakers and new officers. Invitations Hand Made Hand made invitations and place cards are being made by Don Nor-lin. The invitations for the faculty have a block cut of a banquet scene on them. New officers are: Orvin Messegee, president; Dick Albert, vice president; Ralph Shenenberger, four, quarter representative; and Dr. A. E. Bond, re-elected as faculty adviser. Retiring officers are: John Christy, president; Julia Christensen, vice president; Bert Gallanger, four-quarter representative, and Mr. H. C. Ruckmick, faculty adviser. Freshman Party Carries Out Blue Eagle Tradition Quarterly Celebration Fails to Produce Promised Spring / Dance Staff Members Meet At Simonds Home NRA's blue eagle was in evidence Saturday night when the Frosh and most of the other students of the school met in the big gym and danced to Chuck Cissna's music. Streamers of red, white, and blue paper carried out the national idea of patriotism. Colored lights of blue and red completed the decorative scheme for the Frosh hop. Jim Jobe, chairman for the affair, failed to produce the promised spring dance by Nielson and Campbell, but any disappointments were eliminated at intermission when the punch and Lovgren-made cookies where served to the guests. "The party had a great socko" is still the belief of Jobe and members of his committee. Keeping a mystery of the idea had no effect on the decoration snatchers who were present. Souvenirs in the form of paper and light globes were seemingly the most favored by these persons. Class Studies Social Trends And Old Maps Early Types of Transportation Being Compared with Those of 1934 Initiation Held for New Members at Staff Meteing Tea Will Be Given The annual Valentine's Tea given by Edens hall will be held Sunday afternoon, February 11, in the blue room. Betty Jock, social chairman, will be in charge. The decorations of red.and white will bring out the Dan Cupid idea and the Valentine spirit will prevail during the afternoon. The program planned will be as follows: boys' double quartet con-sistng of Bob Hartley, Frank For-strum, Daniel Botts, Ted Abener, Boyd Swanson, Francis Fisher, and Roger Mullen; a violin solo by Daniel Botts; a piano selection by Miss Matthews, and a flute solo by Vaughan Bateman. o A meeting of the Viking staff was held last Monday evening at the home of Calista Simonds. Staff members from '99 to '34 were invited, and thirty-five attended. The new members finished their initiation. Those who failed in their assignments were requested to go slowly through a receiving line of all the old members who were well equipped with souvenirs from the wood pile. Those who read their interviews were Katherine Bowden, Margaret Chester, Harlan Jones, Arne Johnson, Philip Campbell and George Lovos. Those who went through the receiving line were Bill! Pierron, Tony Zambas, Ray Duni-1 gan and Nelson Ault. After the staff meeting, refresh- ; ments were served and the members finished the evening by playing games or dancing on the lawn. —Patronize the Advertisers— Campus Calendar FRIDAY—Feb. 2. 9:00 p. m., Men's club dance at the Hotel Leopold.

The undersigned students believe that football in this school is a detrimental influence and a waste of money. We believe that our exorbitant football fees could have been used for far better purposes. We have no desire to retain a farcical commercialized institution w h i c h has rapidly fallen into disfavor with thinking college students everywhere. And if anyone chooses to answer this, we should like to hear different lines of argument than the usual sentimental nonsense- or the violent rhetoric about "school-spirit." •'man-building sport," etc. WILLIAM PIERRON, RICHARD STEARNS, BILLIE MILLS, KATHERINE HAYNES, ALLEN WATERS, HERMAN TEGENFELDT. Maps, boats, puppets costumes, and the social trends of the early sixteenth century are being reproduced by the children in the fourth grade, under the supervision of Miss Merriman. The class has divided itself into groups, one group devoting itself entirely to the study and reproduction of old maps. Several of the children are super-imposing a map, which shows the concept people had of the world in Columbus' time, as compared with the present - d a y knowledge. Classroom work on these projects has led to discussion of the causes of seasons, locating various places on the globe, and the meaning of latitude and longitude. For explanation of these questions, projection globes and spotlights were used. Another group is working on a bulletin board which shows the advancement of transportation. This board is divided into two sections, one of them labeled "Travel in 1492" and the other "Travel in 1934." Illustrations of early types of transportation, such as pictures of men walking, camels and horses carrying burdens, rafts and the first boats are being compared with the twentieth century stream-lined locomotives, automobiles, planes and ocean liners. Along with this type of work, another group of children is tracing and developing the history of boats. Miss Chralotte Richardson, industrial arts instructor, is helping the boys design and build models of various types of boats. In order to have the children realize and understand that exploration and discovery have not stopped with the voyages of Magellan,"Vasco da Gama, and other early discoverers, Commander Byrd's second expedition to the South Pole is being closely followed. The children are listing the tools and instruments that Columbus and his contemporaries used, and they are comparing them with the modern conveniences aiding the Byrd expedition at Little America. All these projects although they are not fully completed, will be displayed at today's training school assembly.

XXXIV—NO. 21 WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHIr^TON Friday, March 6, 1936 Tears, Laughs Abound at Play By Bob White With the leads sharing honors, and character actors running almost on a par with them, the quarterly play "Green Grow the Lilacs" opened last night, playing to an appreciative audience. The play, a typical interpretation of ranch life in the Indian territory of the west during 1900, was exceedinly well-conceived, and was carrid out in character consistently under the di rection of V. H. Hoppe, assisted by Rose Altose. Helen Scott as "Laurey Williams" and Boyd Swanson as "Curley Mc- Lain" gave exceptionally good performances in the leading riles, supported by a well-cast group if players. Bob Hartley as "Jeeter Fry" the brooding, embittered farm hand driven to villainy by his unrequited love for "Laurey" gave a fine interpretation of a difficult part, portraying the unhappy and rather pathetic character of "Jeeter" with a great deal of understanding. Bandy Oberlatz practically stole the show with his side-splitting characterization of the odd, erratic foreign peddler, a tremendously funny interpretation, while Normajane Gorsline as "Ado Annie Carnes" took the comedy honors in her scenes. The most exciting and real scene in the play is the one in which "Curly" (Boyd Swanson) and "Jeeter" (Bob Hartley) meet jn a hand-to-hand struggle at the haystack. This is a very well staged fight, and was so, real at last night's performance that Bob Hartley suf f ered an actual nosebleed after the fight scene. Maurice Nelson as "Old Man Peck" and Virginia Holm as "Aunt Eller Murphy" gave good character per fdrmances, furnishing comedy relief as well as carrying through some of the more serious scenes. . The singing was ~veiy~gdbd7 both by the members of the cast and by the boys' and girls' choruses during the intermissions. Boyd Swanson took the vocal honors, however,; sing ing several cowboy ballads, as well as a more serious, love song. The play was well done from the standpoint of characterization and although the cast seemed a trifle uncertain as to lines during certain scenes, the show ran smoothly to the final curtain. "Green Grow the Lilacs" is a good show, well worth seeing. O-—r-r "The test was just awfuL N«t even Mr. Loop finished it!" This leech's chocolate-cooered pickle goes to the young lady who Was assigned to read a book on correlations. Her book report was a masterpiece, but unfortunately she forgot how to spell the word, and it appeared "Corelations" throughout the paper. This is no Utopia, but it is possible to have a swell evening's entertainment even when you are flat broke. Every Tuesday evening at 7:30 Normal students may swim at the YWCA for nothing. (Yes— $0.00!) About 30 persons turned out last Tuesday, and Charlie Chaplin had nothing on some of our amateur divers. It would be worth at least two-bits to see some of these piscatorial (not fishy) artists make themselves into human cannon-balls and come out intact. Then, of course, there are adolescents like Munson and Lade, who thinks it excrutiatingly funny to gang up on the girls and see how long they can hold them under water without completely asphixiating them. , (Bet they took a course in life-saving and just want to show off in case they ever fail to time it right.) Don't get me wrong—-I'm not going to say, "Lefs see you all out next Tuesday". They tell us thai American living conditions are too crowded as it is; let us not deteriorate into a slums. ICC Renovates Award System Accordoing to Work Done; Rules Changed Plans to revise the method used of awarding points to editors of the women's Self-Starter and the men's Openers booklets were discussed at the monthly meeting of the Inter- Club council Wednesday afternoon. The questions of club lockers and changes in the Blue Book calendar were also considered by the council members. The club decided that the publishers of the freshmen booklets will be given points each year according to the amount of work done on the publications. Bill Frender headed the student committee that reported on the revision. The resolution adopted by the club will be submitted to the faculty committee for final approval. NO LOCKERS AVAILABLE Paye Wenzell reported that no lockers are available at the present time for clubs who have expressed the desire to have aN permanent place to keep club records and materials. A permanent place will be decided upon in the April meeting of the club, i It was suggested the school should build a filing cabinet. ! Any changes in the Blue Book calendar, such as social dates, club names or organizations, are to be submitted to the council before its, next meeting. i (ConMnued on Page Four) IRC Sends Two Delegates To Meet Two delegates will be sent by the International Relations club to the IRC convention to be held March 20 -and,-21 at ~ .Pullman. President Blanche Pearce and John Jacobson have been selected by the members of the club as the representatives from the Normal. Representatives from all IRC clubs of the colleges of the state will be present. There will be conference speakers from the University and from Pullman and at the round table discussions student representatives will take over their responsibility. Such topics as the .Par Eastern . and Ethiopian situations will be discussed. The efforts of the league of nations in settling disputes and the health work of the league of nations were the problems discussed at the regular club meeting held Wednesday evening. Rolle Submits Renovation Plan Of Student Union Building to Control Board, Consider Cost "Sliding Scale" Plan Is Adopted By Club Representatives In Meeting Recreation Spot Argued Tennis-Court Construction, Loss of Pennants Brought Up Architect's suggestion for renovating a vacant house next to Edwards hall as a Student Union building were presented at the Board of Control meeting Wednesday. The Student Union project, Mae Rolle pointed out, involves extensive changes in the house which, together with furniture, upkeep, and lease, would necessitate a raise in student fees. Board members expressed their intention of investigation similar schemes in other schools until President C. H. Fisher can be consulted. Green Preferred In harmony with other buildings at Normalstad. the Board voted to paint the boathouse green. George Dack, head gardener, will be instructed to commence the painting with the help of NYA workers. Accepting the memorandum submitted by Donald Bushell, band director, the Board designated that the following students receive permanent sweaters: Bloom, Collins, Eck-ert, Punk, Goff, Goninan, Hewitt, Andrew Jackson, Hazel Jackson, Knittel, Koski,' Lisle, Nelson, Oppelt, Randrup, Smith, Stuart, Tilson, Toms, Yager, Zylstra. It was specified that the same grade of sweaters should be purchased in the future. Johnson Gets Pin Cliff Johnson, whose term runs out this quarter, was notified that he would receive a school pin. President Mon Orlof f stated that he had ordered the debris to be cleared from the tennis courts by workers on the Physical Education building and presented a plan for the construction of a bloc of three new courts. Glen Nygreen was commissioned to look into the loss of pennants loaned by the Co-op for the Homecoming assembly last fall. Fisher Serves On Commission At Convention NEA Appoints Prexy Consultant Ex-Officio of Educational Policies Body' Term of Office 5 Years Students Out With Measles; Influenza Nurses Urge All Illness Reported Immediately Be "Students should report to the Nurse's office as soon as they are ill and should take especially good care of themselves to keep up their resistence to influenza and measles," urge Miss May Mead and Miss Nell Bryant, school nurses. Measles are now in check and the following students returned to school during the past week: Ellis Austin, Arne Johnsen, Severn Koski, Alymer Bright, Joe Hager, Don Zylstra, Doris Tarte, Martha Lou Pulver, Deborah Vickery, Dorothy Wilson, Eugene Olmstead and Jack Hardan. 'Except in few cases, attacks of influenza have been light," reports Miss Mead.

PE Building Ready By December 1936 Architect Stanton Says Drainage Difficulty Overcome Work on the new physical education building is progressing on schedule in spite of bad weather and the recent thaw, according to F'. C. Stanton, supervising architect. Drainage difficulties do not present as much of a problem as had been feared and have been almost entirely overcome. All- blasting has been completed and concrete for the foundation is being poured this week. The foundation proper will extend 15 feet below the ground level in places. Various kinds of earth have been encountered in the course of the excavation. Sand, clay, rock, and even a small amount of coal have been uncovered. The.coal has been used to heat the field shack. The number of men employed on the project averages 18 a day. In order to complete the construction on schedule the building must be ready for occupancy on or before December 15, 1936. The road adjacent to the physical education building will not be paved until the building is completed, as the roadbed must be allowed to settle. O'Sullivan Says Football Boys Scarce In 1909; Team Lost When Coached "So many more men go to this school now than when I taught here," said James O'Sullivan, secretary of the Columbia Basin commission, who showed slides and lectured on "What the Grand Coulee project means to the Northwest and to the Nation" at a special assembly last Wednesday afternoon. "I guess there were about 350 students enrolled here then," he continued. "I was football coach and about 10 men turned out. I was always trying to find new men for the squad but there just didn?t seem to be any. We lost every game." "You can always use all the experience you have ever had," he said. "Right now I am teaching again—teaching the public about Coulee dam. It is a wonderful project which will be of great benefit to people of the Northwest." Mr. O'Sullivan said, that because of his former relations with the school, he was especially glad to talk to the students. Activities Stopped Until Next Quarter It seems that since some diseases have been flying a-round loose ready to be caught at anytime the only thing for Normal students to do is to study for the end-of-the- quarter exams.

Because of no alternative a large number of students have made the small lunch counters near the campus their ; habitual . hangouts. The Women s League and. Men's, club, rooms are. a .trifle close for comfortable relaxation, especially when there a only standing room left. Also.students seem to want to '.get away from the campus for a little while, but still be near: enough *o .retu.ni without expending much time or effort. Before this time' there has been no. active movement toward the: solution of this problem. At .last the possibility of acquiring just such a building is within vievy. The Board of; Control has located a large home directly across from the campus, which with some Renovation, will be perfectly adapted for an Associated Student building. • • j • In the basement there is room; for billiards and ping-pong and a suite of'Ybbms; kitchen, living room, and bath which cah.be used either for'the accombda-tion of the housemother or for club meetings. Oh the main floor will be a long room for dancing, off of which there are to be small rooms for card and dressing rooms.

That is a fine argument, ah admirable point-of-view, but someday they'll wake upiri ah ihstitutiop for the unsocial. r It is only through the enthusiastic support of the whole student body that this: new project can be carried through successfully.

That exceedingly'smart and light-footed ..team of Astaire and Rogers are with us again in their: .latest release "Follow the-Fleet," which opens Satur- . day at the,Mount Baker theater. Fred Astaire and •: Ginger Rogers have earned the place they now hold in = the world of entertainment not only through the •: medium of their faultless dance interpretations, but by their clever screen technique as well. A combination of this sort is not ordinary, and Astaire and Rogers are certainly worth seeing. '•• Closing tonight at the Mount Baker, Ann Harding ' and Herbert Marshall give very finished performances, in "The Lady Consents," another good picture. ' Opening tonight at the Grand theater, '.'Captain 'Blood," Sabatini's stirring adventure story, brings to the screen'a new star, Errol Flynn. Mr. Flynn is a very large Irishman, and besides having a romantic appeal for the ladies, he twirls a mean rapier. Flynn, as."Captain Blood," is ably supported by Olivia De Haviland and Ross Alexander. If you like a good old swashbuckling pirate story, by all means see "Captain Blood". Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of etc., pirate atmosphere. At the American theater, beginning Saturday, we find another film depicting the rough, tough life of an earlier day. Edward G. Rpbnson deserts hs beloved tommy-guns and G-men to gve us 'iBarbary Coast", a story of early San Francisco.

By Lloyd Nelson We lost! Well, what of it? Quit moaning about it. Let's be optimistic about the matter and look ahead to next basketball season, with plans of taking the trl-normal championship. Maybe it isnt ethical for losers to complain about receiving the tough breaks, so Tm going to be unethical and complain about them and remind everybody that happens to ask me, that bad breaks were responsible for our losing so many games, and not an inefficient basketball team or coach. Looking back to the first of this quarter, I see the jinx ushering in the basketball season. The first disappointment came when the varsity lost Jim Greggs and Tony Zambas. After this hole was made in the team it left it. in a rather weakened condition but good chance of picking up again. The next blow came when Ted Dziedzic was laid up just before the.team's eastern trip, dropping one more man from the string. This wasn't enough for old man jinx. I n the first game east of the mountains, Dick Carver was, disabled for the rest of the tour. When we played Cheney here, Carver and Dziedzic were still on the injured list. The absence of these two sparkplugs didnt help the morale of the team a bit. Before the game was over, all of the first string players, except Bud Vander- Griend, had been taken from the game, either by injuries or on personal fouls. • Well, I'm gbing to quit this moaning stuff and get back to the more humorous side of the basketball lite. Flash! George Moscrip has finally admitted that he is the worst player on the DeMolay basketball squad. Everybody that has seen him play realized that he was no good the first time they saw him but it took George a whole year to find out. Don't worry, Moscrip, if there were any players in the county worse than you they wouldn't allow them on the DeMolay team, so you needn't worry about losing the honor of being the rear bumper on the DeMolay basketball car.

Center—Eustace, Cheney: Forward—West, Cheney. Forward—VanderGriend, Belling- TRI-NORMAL RESULTS When the Tri-Normal basketball season came to a close last Thursday evening in the game between the Bellingham Vikings and the Ellensburg -Wildcats, the Normal championship was determined. Cheney automatically acquired first place by defeating Ellensburg twice and the Viking squad the same number of times. The second berth was left for the Wildcats and the Vikings to pick from. If the Vikings had defeated Ellensburg in the last game played they would have tied for second place. This would have led to a play-off game, but as Bellingham ' was defeated both times it left the Ellensburg Wildcats with the second place trophy in their hands. /.The Vikings suffered four defeats during the season, losing every conference game they played, while Ellensburg lost two and won two. Last ' year's games had the same result with Cheney on top and the other two Normal schools trailing behind. o SECOND TEAM Guard—Danakas, Cheney. Guard—Stutz, Bellingham. Center—Holl, Eilensburgr Forwards-Carver, Bellingham. Forward—Faust, Ellensburg. All-Star Team Results Coach Chuck Lappenbusch, with the aid of the Viking sports staff, has completed the mythical Trinomial basketball team. The selections were based on the merits of play during conference games; individual play in non-conference tilts was not judged when picking the mythical team. Coach Lappenbusch named *one Bellingham boy on the first squad and two on the second team. Cheney, tri-normal champions, placed three on the first squad,' while Ellensburg placed one. VanderGriend Most • Improved Player Rebensdorf, fourth year man for Cheney, was t h e best long shot artist in the league and easily deserved a first team spot; Bunstine, a forward oh the Ellensburg team, was placed in the guard slot because of his style of play in the back court. Eustace and Holl. were evenly rated, but the superior playing of Eustace in the Bellingham games gave him the call over the- elongated Holl. -•--' Individual Scores For Season PLAYER Total Scorees Carver ...-.-; -•- • -198 Phair ,.'..,.. ,v • - - 90 Stutz , '.....-,.. ,-• 87 VanderGriend - -••• 92 Dziedzic ,..;.,........ 56 Dombroski 56 B.

Four Baseball Games Scheduled With CPS Although his basketball worries are just over for one year, Coach Chuck Lappenbusch began to cultivate early grey hair by thinking about the 1936 baseball season.

Her talents are divided, but by no means dissipated, among many different activities, drama, administration, clubs, journalism and sports all claim her attention. Her special talent is in the field of managing, her most important position around school calling for ability in this line. Assemblies are another of her interests. She has been honored for the excellence of her speeches, and she was the power behind the curtain at a recent popular school assembly. Although the blondes have so far exclusively ruled the feminine part of this column, this week the brunettes come into their own.

Wednesday. She explained that the bureau keeps accurate and complete records of statistical information about graduates and places graduates in positions. The different factors entering into this placing are: supply and demand for teachers, education and training, experience, personality and character, intelligence coupled with common sense, ability and stability, health, prejudice and favoritism, and luck. "Requests for teachers come from principals, superintendents, and boards of directors", said Miss Hopper. "Generally, several people are sent to apply for each position. Points considered in recommending are: grades in student teaching, Local Industry Campus School Assembly Topic Lumbering Completes Series On Historical Background of eBUingham -. How trees are cut and turned into lumber was explained at the fourth grade assembly last Friday. The presentation of this informal Campus school, assembly brought to a close one of a series of units in the study of the history of BeJ-lingham. In art class, phases ana processes of the" lumbering industry were illustrated by students who explained them in the assembly. Short talks on the kind of timber that grow in this vicinity, what it looks like, and the kind of lumber it makes were given. This was contrasted with the timber that grows in different parts of the world, as China, Norway, Germany, and Mexico. Forests Differ Illustrations of the virgin forests of the country and the forests as they appear* now were shown and reasons for the difference explained. Lumbering activities in the hills were dramatized rhythmically showing the felling of trees and the mechanical action of donkey engines and the handling of logs. These activities were a result of work in gymnasium classes. Industry Helps City The importance of the lumbering industry to the development of Bellingham was related and compared to coal, sugar, fish, and canned goods, in importance as exports. This was. illustrated by a colored map that showed to what country, and how. much of each product was sent. The class will continue to study other major industries of the community, and will visit the paper mill and lumber mill in connection with this work. o— Albers, :Qiiffi^^»tar; and \%nde^ Recitaii Last Tuesday Night Beverly Hall Members Are Hostesses at Weekly Women's Tea in League Room Yesterday; Caddis General Chairman of Affair Several former students visited their homes in Bellingham over the past week-end, while many students spent the week-end out ow town.

Helen Neely poured at the Women's League tea sponsored by Beverly hall Thursday. _ _ o — • Mary McMahon, who is now attending the Forest Ridge college, was a guest at the home of her parents in Bellingham last week-end. Miss McMahan was a member of the special ability, recreational interests and ability, church affiliation, previous environment and experi-ience, knowledge of Appointment bureau of position, superintendents, etc. A student loan does not help to secure a position. Whether the student owes money to the school, is not taken into consideration. Credentials Checked "Credentials are obtained from the general information sheet, faculty reports, student teaching, and pictures. These are sent on request of superintendents and candidates for positions", she continued. Miss Hopper stressed personal a p pearance when applying, advocating special attention to dress, hair, skin, teeth, and nails. She also remarked that contracts were much abused last year, that girls shouldn't marry after contracts have been signed or before contract expires. Bureau Notifies of Positions The Appointment bureau notifies the schools of applications and contracts. Students should not apply where they wouldn't' accept a contract. That it is wiser to stay more than one year in the first position was also advocated by Miss Hopper. In addition, the relative importance of classroom and community activities of a teacher, and the recreational standards such as dancing or playing cards, should be investigated. "Attitude, adaptability, and cooperation are the most important factors for success in the classroom", added Miss Hopper, "and success also depends on how you meet the requirements of your school, your community, and yourself".

The newspapers and magazines are full of it, so evidently is the American stomachs-Beer. It may be a drink to the consuming public but it's news to the newspaper. The entire question of prohibition is a wonderful boon to the newspapers. Anything of such widespread difference of opinion as the liquor question is bound to result in controversy. And where there is controversy, there is news. And where there is news, there ' are newspapers who are glad there is news and want the news to continue, for "no news is good news" is not true of a newspaper. Yes! it would be a sad world for the newspapers if the liquor question was settled and as a newspaper man I hope they adopt and repeal a prohibition amendment to the Constitution every ten or fourteen years, ad infinitum. ——W.S.N.S.

The raising of grade qualifications and increasing the number in student activities is occupying the attention of the faculty. Both are commendable to a certain extent, but are these things taken into consideration? Many grade-average students get more life-applicable education out of activities than out of the scheduled program. Students who do hot want to be in activities can't b dragged in. The political policy of this state in regard to education is progressively toward less discrimination, toward lower fees, lower enrance requirements and lower grade standards in general. In other words the high school graduate should have the privilege of coming to one of the state" institutions- and enjoying its advantages without being tied to one curriculum or one activity. : W.S.N.S.

L LECTURE ON GERMAN GOVERNING ME University Professor Has Made Hitler Regime Object of Long Study SPEAKER WELL KNOWN The fruits of thirty years' experience as a journalist will be revealed by Vernon McKenzie, lecturer, in Tuesday's assembly. Mr. McKenzie is the dean of the school of journalism, University of Washington, and has been interested in journalism the greater part of his life. He is the author of "Behind the Headlines," a contributor to the Saturday Evening Post, New York Herald- Tribune Magazine, and other periodicals and newspapers. He was also European representative of Cosmopolitan, Harper's, and other International Magazine Company publications. Mr. McKenzie's topic for the lecture on Tuesday will be "Hitler— Miracle or Menace?" As a winner of an award to study events and conditions in Germany, Mr. McKenzie spent three and a half months studying the breakdown of constitutional government in Germany. He studied Hitler just as that person was approaching the zenith of his power. He open-mindedly saw and studied both sides. of the question, and those who have heard him lecture say 'that he presents entirely unbiased views of the question. o EDENS HALL FIRESIDE SCENE OF LUNCHEON Alaskans to Meet on Wednesdays for Members of Jaunt The following Alaskans met at the table near the fireplace in the Edens hall dining room Wednesday afternoon and had a "mug-up": Mildred Clark, Lillian Anderson, Donnie Taylor and Violet Bourgette, from Juneau; Viola Porter, Anchorage; Peggy Alderson, Flat; Lillian Lander, Anchorage; Florence Faw-cett, Metlakatla; Virginia Wenzel-berger, Haines; Impi Aalto, Douglas. Maria Richards, Bellingham, and Mr. and Mrs. Crimmins, who are the "chefs" at the dining hall, came over and paid their respects to the group. They formerly lived in Alaska. The Sourdoughs are planning to meet every Wednesday afternoon for a get-together luncheon. All Alaskans are cordially invited to be present. Impi Aalte and Florence Faw-cett are the only ones born in Alaska. The rest have established their residence by choice. /. o Pedagogues Lacking At Sing Sing Prison A pat on the back is deserved by all present and prospective teachers, according to Anthony N. Peterson, chaplain of Sing Sing prison. He says: "To the best of my knowledge we have not had any school teachers or college professors among our prisoners. Whether this is because such men do acquire a real education at college or because of something connected with the essential altruism of their profession, the truth remains that those who make teaching their life work do not come toi Sing Sing."

In the following report the averages of the Bellingham freshmen taking these tests are given. This program was primarily designed for students completing their sophomore year in college. "The freshmen in our institution were asked to co-operate in order that we may have available cumulative records which will be of considerable value in giving individual guidance. A preliminary report has been received on the achievement of our freshmen in comparison with sophomores in universities, colleges and teacher training institutions. The table should be read as follows: 'The provisional norms for the history and social science section of the cooperative tests are based upon the tests taken by 7,651 sophomores in SCBTIST TO TAIK ON "MOTHER E M " Mysteries Shrouding Actions of the Earth Revealed (Continued on Page Three) Fossils of Sucia Seen by Students Nature Study and Camera Hiker Mark Local Island Voyage Of interest to everyone was the boat trip to Sucia island, July 4, on the boats Thetis and Soya. The Sucias are four miles sailing from Bellingham in a northwesterly direction. Seen from the air they present an appearance of fingers, hence the'name. Led by Miss Piatt and Miss Flick, the party explored the islands, hunting for the sea-animal fossils for which they are noted. One of the earliest existing fossils, a trilobite, has been found on the Sucias.. Miss Sundquist's bird study class went on a side trip to Matea gt;and Puffin islands. Many gull eggs were found, several cormorants and a baby gull. .,'• Besides nature study, ring tennis, baseball and swimming; were participated in and Dr. Ruckmick conducted a camera r u ^ during which motion pictures of the^boats and party were taken; ; . , .

Harding, noted author, lecturer and teacher, on Friday, July 14, at the assembly hour. Mr. Harding is known for his scientific travelogues of trips to the sun, to the moon, and to the stars and the depths beyond the Milky Way. His lectures are illustrated by lantern slides which are said,to reveal to the eye many of the hidden facts of nature and impress them upon the eye so that they remain longer than word-pictures would: "Mother Earth" Topic Mr. Harding is to give a talk of the n o n - technical type entitled "Mother Earth." The questions he will answer in this talk are such as these: What is the earth? Why does it revolve around the sun and rotate on its axis? What causes the seasons? Where is the sun at midnight? Many other somewhat puzzling questions will be answered in the lecture.. Tells Useful Facts Dr. Willis A. Parker, of the Playground and Recreation Association of America, New York, says: "Dr. Harding's method of imparting the truths of science is a rare gift. No child could fail to be fascinated and soundly impressed and fascinated. The most learned people present were equally delighted. His lectures reach'people of average intelligence, impart useful knowledge, remove superstition and should be heard in every community." Dr. Harding has appeared before audiences in thirty-six states for twelve years. His "Celestial Travelogues" appeal to the eye and the ear at the same time, and tend to disrupt superstition and wrong belief. - Modern Romeo Woos Juliet on Wash Day Romeo no longer calls upon Juliet, climbing her balcony to woo the shy, swooning maiden with ardent words of everlasting love.

Not more than once a year does the opportunity for such an hilarious Saturday come to the students of the school. This privilege is reserved for summer students. We who drudge away the sunny days in sleepy classes, and in the library, when it is open, might well afford this trip away from books over the blue waters of Bellingham Bay, et al to Victoria, Merry England of the Pacific. Tandem bicycles and English architecture await us. Sunken gardens, and parks, and the "precious accent,' and "God Save the King" and hasty pudding and small amounts of English beverages (including tea) are ours-—for $1.50. Let's get behind this thing and support it. Buy your tickets this afternoon before it is too late. Let's be there 99 44-100ths per cent. Above all, children, be considerate of the faculty chaperones. Let them get away awhile for a bit of innocent fun. It won't hurt them. Remember, however, that Y O U have reputations to uphold, and that it is unseemly for pedagogues to act in a manner that might be taken to be unseemly for pedagogues. O :— TEST WEEK AT LIBRARY During test week the library is the busiest spot on the campus. Almost every student in the school is catching up on a whole quarter's assignments. Com- . plaints rend the air, as students are unable to get what they want. Some suggestions were brought rather forcefully to our attention at the end of last quarter. They might be applied to the last weefc of every quarter without loss: 1. Permitting no reserved books to remain out overnight. 2. Opening at 7:30. Remaining open until 10 o'clock in the evening, except from 5:30 until 6. 3. Rigid enforcement of "silence" and "no scuffling" rules. 4. Adoption of time limits for much-desired reserved books. TO YOU FROM ME By Dick Albert i | n n •« •• H I — i — « • •» m I* " • i ti •• •• — m The Fourth of July, coming, this week, has given me a streak of laziness unparalleled; in fact it has reduced my capabilities, or potentialities, so much that I feel as if I could become mediocre and conventional enough to pass a test, on English grammar the very first time it was given to me! But fear not, for I'll soon be back in my ,old erratic manner and maybe do something (maybe). Until then may the memories of the noises you heard over the Fourth serve as reminders that Albert lives. Last week—you 11 remember—I wrote you a poem telling you of heaven, your future home ( ? ) . This week may I quote another poem that I wrote? It tells you why, that when / die—I think that heaven I will just pass by. Do no more than just pass on; of hell and heaven I will have none! IDEALS Ideals are desirable things—they say— Sometimes I do not feel that way. When I think of those deeds malicious, Done in the name of things religious, It makes me Wonder—// / would Go to heaven if I could! It makes me feel as if life's game Leaves one walking a little lame. And crooked, too, within the marrow, From walking along the straight and narrow. o LITERARY THIS AND THAT The publishers have gone mad over it—the book sellers hail it with acclaim—Hervey Allen wrote it —" i t " is "Anthony Adverse," America's contribution to the tradition of the picturesque novel. Mr. Allen is known as a poet, critic, diarist and biographer, and all of these capacities find scope in this twelve hundred-page novel. Christopher Morley scored a triumph with his "Swiss Family Manhattan," in which the demigods were cast adrift on a skyscraper. The family seemed to adapt themselves well, and Morley was heartened. Now he has moved his Mandarin to Manhattan soil (or pavement) in "Mandarin in Manhattan." Christopher in verse is not Christopher at his best, but some parts are delightful. For instance: Instead of the Puritans landing on Plymouth Rock How much pleasanter this country would have been If Plymouth Rock Had landed on the Puritans. y Pearl S. Buck has just completed a book, "The First Wife and Other Stories," in which she pictures the conflict between old customs and new modes of thought. Students, educated abroad, who return to ancient Chinese mores, are her characters. In this book, as in her others, she is aware of the beauty of Chinese life, but this does not deter her from painting stark realism. Boston isn't the only place boasting an energetic Society for the Suppression of Vice—censors in the Eastern empire are active also. H. L. Mencken's "Selected Prejudices" has just been removed from the authorized textbook list by the Japanese ministry of education "because of the iconoclastic ideas it contains and because of the open expressions used with reference to sensuous matters."

A CHIC SUMMER SLEEVE The new sleeves suggest sophistication. Slashed effects suggest medieval notes on otherwise extremely simple afternoon gowns. One model is white crepe-de-chine sleeve on a dark dress. The sleeve is close-fitting from wrist to elbow and the slashed fullness above the elbow reveals the arm. Soft neck drapery is becoming and flattering with these sophisticated sleeves. Another favorite sleeve—this time of the Paris lady—is a festooned evening sleeve in black and white lace. It falls in graceful loops on the upper arm. There are sister sleeves in daytime ensembles which show delicately-cut effects, but are not so bewitching as the evening type. wear.. Perhaps a one-eyelet tie with simple ridge-trimmings at the toe and sides. This' is not too sportsie nor too formal for ordinary wear. It has a medium heel—the French-Cuban heel. Sports whites run to oxfords. Higher-cut ones, with three or four eyelets, trimmed with large or small perforations. There are Ghillies, too, and the newest have fine perforations and a tongue. ' Sandals are always new! Cool, low-cut ones with open-shank are smart and comfortable to wear with afternoon chiffons and organdies and prints. The newer sandals have the fashionable covered-toe effect and are cut put further up on the instep. A bell-shape sleeve .with wide flowing ruffles half covering the hand is another model which has found its way over from Paris. It is featured on the "cocktail" or "Sunday-night" dress.

T h e players are chosen by a newspaper ballot of the leading Eastern dailies. The rosters for both clubs are not yet complete, but we did notice Earl Averill's name among the list of pastimers who will perform for t he American league team. Averill is a Snohomish boy and learned his baseball from the popular little skipper of the Bellingham Tulips, Tealey Raymond. . Probably the most colorful part of this game will be the managers of the two clubs. John McGraw, the old strategist who managed the Giants for so many years and led them into many a world series battle, will again don a uniform and be on t he firing line pushing the stars' from the National league to their utmost. Connie Mack, "the Grand Old Man of Baseball," as he is called, will match wits with McGraw. Connie is only 71 years old and still -the active manager' of \he Philadelphia Athletics. . It is interesting to contrast the personalities of these two men. McGraw is a fiery, peppy, witty, driving type, while Mack is unassuming, quiet and more inspirational to his men. Wish we could be there to see the game. It certainly would be worth the price of admission. What team are you going to lay odds on?, Take a look at the percentage figures and see which team was in first place on July 4. Look again at the columns when the big league teams wind up their summer baseball. Will the same clubs be in first tplace? They should be. Sport scribes generally concede the championship to t he team that is in first place on Declaration day. Figures over a long period of years prove their predictions to be correct. Baseball is a sport in which the wise are unlikely to do too much predicting. Several years ago the Boston Braves ^were trailing in last place on the Fourth with only a mediocre team. They put on a spurt and wound up in first place. They haven't won a championship since.

Shows Student Earning Average $23 Per Month That the average earning of students working at the University of Missouri is $209.70 a year or $23.30 per month was one of the interesting findings of a faculty committee of that school. The investigation consisted of questionnaires sent to students, examination of university records and personal interviews. The fact that first-year students usually fall below the average is not to be wondered at, although some freshmen do earn as high as $60 a month while going to school. From the report of 794 questionnaires the committee found that 52 per cent of the men and 28 per cent of the women were learning all or part of their living expenses. But the impressive fact was that the women who were working made on an average more than the men working. .The monthly average for the women is $29.08. Work of these students varied from common labor to teaching school and included housework, outdoor care of grounds and gardens, auto service station helpers, store clerks, office clerks / ^ v stenographers, taxi driving, tfu^ ing, printing office work, and student assistants in laboratories and experiment a l fields.? ; ' lt; ., " :.-,?• ;v gt;::-: •• ^ ..-'•;;•' "T.;jb^•';.,..

The game was loosely played by both teams as the score indicates. Hits were plentiful and errors common. , Denton pitched for the Flowers and Gable chucked for the birds.

Labor is being donated by the Whatcom county welfare board. The school pays for the materials, trucks, tools and salary of Mr. Munn and Foreman Joe C. Warner. This will cost between three and four thousand dollars. I t is expected that the county's contribution in the form of labor will at least match this amount. The field consists of five acres south of Normal drive and west of Twenty-first street. It was bought in 1929 for approximately $15,000. I t is twice the size of Waldo field and will provide space for eight tennis courts, a baseball diamond and a football field. After grading and filling, the field will be seeded some time next fall. It is expected that the turf will be sufficiently established for basball next spring and for football the following fall. First Graders Entertained With Circus After Studying Animals "The cijfcus is coming!" Do you remember "way back when" you were a boy and sneaked out at dawn to se the big show unload? Nowadays thtings are different. So legitimate has become that pastime of watching the circus arrange itself —and so much less frequent—that on Thursday, June 29, a t 9 o'clock, the blue-and-white bus loaded up the entire first grade, delighted teachers and all, and set off for the show ground. Ever since summer school opened the fascinating core of first grade study and activity has been animals. Of these thirty tots, some have been in first grade a year, some in kindergarten a year and some are brand-new to school life. But almost every one knew something about Tusko, and so it began. * Everybody was eager to know more about elephants, lions, tigers, camels, monkeys, rhinoceroses and hippopotami.. Even such big names can be learned and spoken glibly when the heart is in the pursuit. Circus songs have been learned, circus stories have been read and told, cir.cus pictures have appeared in numbers to decorate the walls and bulletin board of the big classroom ,and there is a circus poem on a large chart to which everyone, old or young, under Normal's roof, would thrill. More serious discussions have brought out how and where the circus animals are captured. (Think of maps in a first grade!), The care and food of each species has been studied, and the older and more cruel training methods compared with modern "psychological" training. The children have decided it is reasonable that the wide smile of a hippo will surely be blighted by toothache or tummy ache or an a t tack of flu, or that a cold in the nose or a bad headache may temporarily warp the disposition of Mrs. Tiger or Jimmy Camel They have learned of the careful treatment of animal ailments by up-to-date vet-erinaries. Nearly all of the lucky thirty saw the afternoon performance. For a big per cent it was •tb'p. first circus. I t will; be strange if next week does hpt see a great increase in the clay menagerie, which now boasts a peaked-capped clown and two gray elephants. AVgroup of three tigers under a tree has been made by one small sculptress. The animal study will soon branch out from the circus lot and zoo to bring in the American bison, the Australian kangaroo and other species with' special interest. The summer school will be almost as good as a travel tour. TUESDAY HIKE IS 10 T Mt. Baker, Clear Lake, Islands to Be If Day Is Clear The Tuesday night hikes will be renewed next Tuesday when Mr. Kibbe will lead a hike to the top of Chuckanut mountain.

Preparatory to this trip have been the shorter hikes in which the students'' ability and endurance have been tested and conditioned. Requirements for taking this hike are a participation in at least two Saturday hikes and-three Tuesday jaunts. Leaving Bellingham at 7 o'clock Friday morning, the party will go as far as Glacier in cars. From this point they will proceed on foot to Kulshan cabin at 4 o'clock Saturday morning for the mountain peak. Lunch will be eaten at the "Saddle," whose altitude is 9,000 feet. The climb from the "Saddle" to the top is .the last lap hTthe ascent. . Should the weather permit, a play hour in the snow will be .allotted when the top has been reached. The party will return to the cabin about 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon. For those who are ineligible for - the climb a provision has been made for entertainment at the cabin. Others, who are unable to leave Friday, have the privilege of coming Saturday afternoon and enjoying the hike from Glacier to the cabin, returning with the week-end hikers Sunday afternoon. _— o Of PUNS SAW I P Eliza Island Goal of Picnickers on Annual Summer Trip Roof Over Sci i^ ^ Pro^desFysc^ VIEW OF BELLINGHAM SEEN FROM PORCH ON THIRD FLOOR / •*• * By Irene Marz v ^ Large steamships, moving slowly up to the docks, fast cruisers and motor boats dashing about—like an ever changing travelogue is the scene that can be viewted from the roof above the science department,^his porch can be reached by going through the doors at the end of the hall of the art department on the : third floor. .

More college graduates among the nudist colonies claim Harvard as their Alma Mater than all others combined. BR-R-R-R! Two former Illinois university coeds spent two months stranded on the bleak Chicikof island, off the coast of Alaska. They were rescued bya coast guard cutter and returned to Seattle. During their isolation, food was furnished by wild cattle shot, butchered and cooked by themselves. COMPENSATION? The male students at Dennison university who drove cars on" the campus last year, statistics show,- made an average grade of 26 per cent higher than those who walked. Beautiful in its floral setting was the wedding of Miss Agnes Sollie, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. August Sollie, of this city, and Mr. William A. Kendrick, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Kendrick, of Olympia. It was solemnized within the home of the "bride's parents at 8:30 o'clock Friday evening, June 30. The service was read by Rev. A. M. Mehus, of Seattle, formerly a pastor of the Norwegian- Belgian Baptist church of this city. The, bridal party advanced to an improvised altar within an arbor of pink and white garlands, against a background of syringa. Arranged in tall baskets were pink and white roses with an accent of blue in spires Of delphinium. White tapers in candelabra cast a radiance over the flowers and greenery. The bride, given in marriage by her father, wore a white satin silhouette model gown; having long Sleeves with shoulder puffs, and her tulle *veil was held in place with orange blossoms. Her bouquet was composed of pink rosebuds and ; white sweetpeas with fern and satin ribbons. Her only attendant was Miss Gwendolyn Jones. ^ iThfe best man was Mr. Chester Immediate^ ^ ceremony Sixteenfeliiiil gt;0rs Hikefo Week-end Trip Varied Entertainment Enjoyed by Mmbers of Jaunt Trudging through slushy snow in a heavy rainstorm, sixteen hikers led by Dr. Bond climbed ten miles from Glacier to Kulshan cabin last Sat- Leaving Bellingham early Saturday morning, the hikers motored to Glacier in several cars provided for the trip. Provisions for the week-end were carried by the members of the party. Upon reaching Kulshan cabin late Saturday afternoon, after the somewhat strenuous hike, the weary climbers were refreshed by the blazing fire in the huge fireplace and generous portions from the knapsack. The evening's entertainment consisted of impromptu numbers by the various members of the group. The singing of popular songs was especially enjoyed. Snow sports were a feature of Sunday's program. This was climaxed by a hike to the glacier. Those who viewed the glacier pronounce it a very awe-inspiring spectacle. Particularly beautiful are the crevasses in their deep blue coloring as a contrast to the vast white expanse of snow and ice. Combining both work and play, Dr. Bond, assisted by "Happy" Fisher, endeavored to make some repairs on the cabin. However, more time will have to be devoted to this for its completion. In descending the mountain^ the hikers diverged from the usual path, crossing what is known as "Hell's Half-Acre." This afforded them the added opportunity of frequent sliding on snow banks. Bellingham was reached at 6 o'clock Sunday evening. :—o Mountains Have Unusual Appeal Urge to Quote Poetry Inspired by •Large Mountains A Splendid Place to Shop if Your Pocket-Book Has Been Depression - Flattened . at WAHL'S Campus Cook PPPPP

XXXI—NO. 33 WASHINGTON S T A T E NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Friday, June 2, 1933 is DISIRBIITION TODAY First Two Hundred Students Who Present Themselves Will Receive 1933 Annual I t 's here! The 1933 personality Klipsun will be distributed this afternoon to the first two hundred students who present themselves for it. And personality is a good adjective. Eileen Morrison, editor, has suceed-ed in creating an annual that represents the very breath and spirit of our school. Here are its features: The phetographs have been described as being the "clearest, best- . looking that have been in an annual for many years." The engraving shows careful workmanship, and the photography is as artistic as could be desired. The cover a modern red and black design on a gray background, is excellent. The division pages are something new! Instead of art work these pages are photographs of personalities representing the section which they head. The personality pages cap—two pages of sketches of the people behind the scenes in school activities. This is the most interesting page in the book. The writeups, give the book its charm, and they are new and appealing, quite different from the ordinary writeups in annuals. The makeups show an attempt to get away from the established things. Notice the arrangement! These and many other features make this Klipsun one of the best which have appeared in all time. NORMALITE .SPECIALS CELOFANE A PLAN By PAUL M. JACKSON Last Saturday I was standing on Holly street watching a greengrocer paint prices on his window. "Green Peas, 6 pound for 25c; Special." "Tomatoes , so much; cucumbers, so much; Special." Then with a grand flourish, or perhaps it was a gesture of despair which he realized that he could not find room on his window to special all his wares, he painted; " E V E R Y T H I N G SPECIAL".

Everyone knows how instantaneously popular cellophane became for wrapping practically every commodity that is fit for display to the public. All wares from toothbrushes to candy is attractively covered in the new product derived from wood. But Liquid Celofane opened up a world of possibilities.

Sophs Are Giving Yearly Award for High Scholarship Mary Brock to Receive Silver Cup with Her Name Inscribed Each year one freshman receives a silver trophy from the sophomore class of the school for scholastic achievement in all subjects. Mary Elizabeth Brock, graduate of Whatcom high school, was awarded the trophy this year. The handsome silver cup will be inscribed with the winner's name, and the winner will keep the cup for a year. Mary Brock has many interests in life. Her greatest desire at present is to complete her teacher training in order that she may teach in a Junior high school. She is also very much interested in science, and hopes that later on she may qualify as an assistant in a chemical laboratory. She has already decided to continue her work in science in order to achieve that ambition. From information secured from her best friend it was discovered that Mary does "not care for sports. "Her health will not permit her to engage in strenuous activities," said the informant. "While most people never get close enough to Mary to know just what kind of a person she really is, I know that she is one of the wittiest and most clever persons I have ever known. She is pleasant to talk too, does not think her scholastic attainment should be taken too seriously, but she is, naturally, very proud of receiving the award." COMPETITION IS CLOSE Ladder Tournaments Are Drawing to a Climax This Week While rain has been holding up the play in the Tuesday and Thursday tennis class, the competition in the Wednesday and Friday class is nearing completion. Shaffer and Jensen emerged from their matches last Wednesday as winners and will play for the championship of that class. Shaffer defeated Erickson to go into the finals and Jensen defeated Jones. They played one set of their championship match last Wednesday, which Jensen won, and will complete the matches tftis Friday. The Tuesday and Thursday class has not met for the last couple of weeks because of bad weather and because the varsity tennis team was using the courts for matches. Because of this, the matches in this class have not reached the quarterfinal stage yet. It is doubtful whether the play will be completed in this tournament as there is not much time left. q— George Lilligard visited his brother in Tacoma last week-end. GIVEN NEXT WED. Dot Fiala Has Charge of Affair; Men's Chorus Presented, Also Scholarship Cup Wednesday, June T, has been set for the annual class day of the graduating class. Davy Jones and Dorothy Fiala have charge of the assembly program to be presented at 11 o'clock. Mr. Victor H. Hoppe is the class adviser for the occasion. There are many class formalities to be taken care of at that time, among them being the presentation of the freshman cup awarded to the member of the freshman class who has highest scholarship for the school year of three quarters. Pat Allan will present the cup as president of the sophomore class. Djoris McElmon has held the cup for the past year. Music Is Given A program of music has been arranged including many numbers by the Men's chorus who will be making their first official appearance this year. Ransford Wise will present a clarinet solo as an intermission number. George Barbo will sing several tenor solos. The program, although not definitely settled, will probably include some natural dancing numbers or a short dramatization of some kind. Prexy to Give Address President Fisher will, as usual, give the final address to the nineteen hundred and thirty-three graduates of the Bellifigham State Normal school. (Continued on Page Two) GAMPGRAFT GLASS VISITS SILVER LAKE Week-end Spent Far from City; Real Experience Gained Carrying out the methods learned in the Campcraft class, eighteen members of that class made a trip to Silver lake last week-end. The following students made the trip: James Barnhart, Marvin Al-lyn, Roger Chapman, Carl Barbo, Wesley Cole, Ralph Childs, Sidney Comfort, Abner Breakey, Fred Knapman, George McMeen, Don Matheny, Jim McNeely, Clifton Per-ryman, Harold Berenston, Ralph Shenenberger, James S t o d d a r d, Herman Tegenfeldt, Bill Moultray, Donnie Van Doren. After the five-mile hike from,Maple Falls to the lake, games were played that would be suitable for any camping trip; such as baseball and (?) fire-building. In the evening stories were told and games were played, also a huge bonfire was kept going until all turned in. The boys returned Sunday afternoon about 4 o'clock. Ruin of Ancient Greek Structure Described by an Art Enthusiast Have you noticed the picture which hangs across the hall from the auditorium? It is that of the Athenian Acropolis. The buildings are located on a percipitous and lofty flat-topped hill. The hill is about one thousand feet long by five hundred feet wide, and reachs its maximum elevation of five hundred and twelve feet on the northeast side. Prior to the fifth century B. C. an ancient Pelesgian wall surrounded the plateau; but this has fallen into ruin, except on the north side. Around the base to the hill, especially on the south are grouped numerous temples and theaters, the chief of these being the Temple of Aescul Apius, the Theater of Dionysus, and the Odeon or Herod Atticus. A series of edifices occupy the summit. Among these buildings are the Pro-pylaea, the Pinacotheca, the Temple of Nike and the Parthenon. Parthenon Is Famous Probably the most familiar of these buildings is the Parthenon. This building is two hundred twenty- eight feet by one hundred one feet. The Parthenon was constructed in 447 B. C. and by 438 A. D. it was ready for the reception of the great statue Athene Parthenos. The temple seems to have remained practically intact until its conversion into a church in the Byzantine times.

It can't be done, it was discovered, so a motion was made to use hands, which were made before forks anyway. This was all decided at the Klipsun picnic over at Loganita lodge last Monday evening, where the staff celebrated the finished annual. After a dinner of said fried chicken with all the trimmings the group adjourned to the reception hall where cards and pool were played. Soon four of the more courageous souls braved the icy waters of Pu-get Sound and when we say icy we Board of Control Decides Question Summer Viking Work to Count as Full Quarter Whether the five issues of the Northwest Viking which will be issued will be termed a full quarter's work or an extension of the spring quarter was the main topic of the Board of Control meeting Monday, May 29.

While, in those days of boating, swimming, picnicking, and mosquito-ing, we sing a song entitled "Yo Ho, Ho, and a Bottle of Lotion" to our sunburned hides, • we will also be thinking of things in this year of school that will bring back memories and make us smile. Perhaps it will be the pleasant memory of that famous "Cremo Program" when Thue and his Jazz Babies caused so many extra flut-terings under the fifth rib . . . the silver-voiced Adonis crooned that "Play Piddle, Play" to, the ladies . . '. Hie crooner of southern melodies sang the gents to sleep . . . and the "Singing Violins" charmed us all— (maybe it was charm.)

Campus Day with its plenty of work, paddle squad, and lots to eat . . . Campus day- with its aftereffects of sore muscles, droopy eyelids, and grouchy pals, and strong liniment for the bruises galore. Perhaps it will be Mr. Arntzen's eternal "time line" on which he builds the history of the universe . . Or Professor Williams' verification of the fact that a genius is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration . . . Or Miss Kangley's sweet "D'yuh see?" Or maybe it will be the fond memory of your "varsity drag shoes"— down at the heels and up at the toes —Or you might recall the innumerable times when you wandered into Baughman's to touch a habitue of the place for a sody.—Or maybe you could smile at the time you talked them out of giving you a "dock" in credits when you had quit counting your skips at the eighteenth one.— Aw, gee! And remember Vernie's million-dollar smile when he led those yells?—Jimmie's language when he made rec-hour announcements?— Prexy's talks on the Budget and In-itative 64 and the Income tax bill?— And the grand scram at noon on Fridays at the main door?—The little scram at the bulletin board?— the "fly bait house"?—And last, but not least, don't forget our obliging Co-op, and Sam Ford's smile when we bought peanuts. Fifth Grade Sees Colors in Nature Tapestries and Architecture Are Upper Grade Projects Athletes like Walt Sinko and men of business like Junior Dornblut have not had a monopoly this year on the study of analogous colors and rhythm in works of art. The same subject has formed the nucleus of fifth grade art study in the campus school. As a climax for the term's project and in correlation with a study of the nation's parks, the entire grade, with Miss Eleanor Osborn and Miss Hazel Plympton as chaperons, went for a blue-and-white bus journey last Tuesday afternoon to centers of interest in local parks and gardens. Trees Are Not All Green At Fairhaven Park rose garden the many shades of green were observed, and looking from this height at nearby slopes, the class discovered trees in brown, yellow, gray, red, and purple-brpwn.

Piano students of Miss Strange who played were: Christine Albers, Oselio Ivarson, Wayne Boys, Suzanne Cissna and Clara Vander Griend. Mr. Bushell and Miss Strange played a sonata by Grieg, which was composed for the 'cello and piano.. The outstanding number on the evening's program was a concerto played by a string ensemble. It was composed of Frank Forstrom and Irene Jackson, first violin; Dan Botts and Veryll Ryckman, second violin; John Monroe and Harry Leatha, viola; Donald Bushell, 'cello, and Betty Joch, bass. The ensemble was assisted by Miss Strange at the second piano and Lowe Bar-truff at the organ. o BANQUET POSTPONED Alumna Meting Is to be Held Wednesday, June 28 The Alumni association will not hold their meeting this year at the usual time, President C. H. Fisher has announced. In former years the meeting has been held the Saturday before the close of the spring quarter. "This year, we have decided to postpone the meeting until Wednesday, June 28," President Fisher said. "The reason for this is that many of the old students are teaching and cannot get here at the other date. Also many of them are back here to take summer work and they will not have to make a special trip. By making the time of the meeting later, we hope to have a larger attendance." The meeting will be held Wednesday, June 28, at the Hotel Leopold at 6:30. A special effort will be made to get the members of the five-year classes back. This includes those who were graduated in 1903, 1908, 1913, 1918, 1923 and 1928. o TEA HONORING JONES AND SHUMWAY GIVEN Many Students and Faculty Present; Helen Jacklin, Chairman Taking place in gt; the blue room of Edens hall, a tea was given from 3 to 5 o'clock Wednesday by the Women's League council in honor of Miss Adele Jones and Miss Ruth Shum-way, dean of women, and Women's League adviser, respectively, who are leaving at the close of spring quarter. During the affair both Miss Jones and Miss Shumway were presented with a gift by Helen Jecklin, chairman, for their work and interest with the girls. Ethel Page, Madalyn Snider and Pauline Chetwood tertained the large number of students and faculty present with musical selections. Sub-chairmen assisting Helen were Betty Jock, decorations; Deborah Altose, reception; Louise Lawrence, invitation; Elizabeth Schuele, refreshments; and Maddine Snider, program.

The quarter got off to a flying start with the concert by the famous Hungarian violinist, Joseph flzegetti, on March 29. This was the final one of a series of Musical Artists' course. On April 3, a lecture by Lincoln Steffens, noted lecturer and writer, was the feature of the assembly. Mr. Steffen's talk, which was on the subject of current problems, was one of the most stimulating ever presented here at Normal. With the advent of spring itself, attention was turned toward the lighter aspects of school life, such as picnics and parties. The first all-school affair was Campus day, May 9. Davy Jones, who was chairman, arranged a full program of events, from a snappy assembly program to an afternoon of field sports. A dance in the evening was the crowning feature of the day. The other all-school gathering was the picnic on May 26 at Birch Bay. Leaving school at 4:00 o'clock on that day, a huge truck took the students to the bay, where dinner was served, and a dance held. Davy Jones was also chairman of this event. Other outings included the Thespian week-end party at Loganita lodge and Lummi island. The Board of Control banquet and the Klipsun staff picnic were also held at the lodge. The Viking staff held its annual banquet at the Leopold Hotel on the evening of May 24. This was the final social gathering of the quarter. o Club Holds Picnic Social Science Members Meet at Whatcom Falls Park Twenty-two members of the Social Science club attended the annual picnic, held this year at Whatcom Falls park, last Monday. Orvin Mes-segee had charge of the. picnic; Louis Shaffer had charge of the amusements and Catherine. Stephor of the supper. Mr. and Mrs. Pe-lagius Williams sponsored the picnic. After the supper election of officers was held with the following Lillegard, Helen Neely, Louise Wil results: President, Orvin Messegee; vice president, Victor Dickinson; secretary, Vene Fisher; Inter-club council member, Lila Wieder.

WASHTNGTON STATE NORMAL SCHVOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON l " ( gt; • • By Bob Lindsley Now that the nice weather has put in an appearance, the end of the quarter has come and the spring sports schedule has been completed. However, in spite of the "winter" weather we've been having: we have been lucky in that not one event was postponed because of rain, (or snow). The quarter proved to be rather unfruitful for the golf, track, and tennis teams, but the intramural mushball league has taken the place of regular varsity baseball very well and has proved very popular among the men of the school. The tennis team had the best luck in their schedule, winning two out of five matches. "They defeated C. P. S. twice and lost twice to University frosh and once to Ellens-burg. The track team failed to win a. meet this year but they made a very good showing in the tri-normal in winning second, place. They were defeated by C. P. S., University frosh, and again by C. P. S. in a relay carnival at Tacoma. This year for the first time the golf team played through an extensive schedule and although they lost four matches and won one, they lost because of the extremely hard schedule. They played the University varsity team twice and lost both times. They also lost one match to C. P. S. and one to Cheney. The second half of the softball schedule, which has been a mixed up affair all season, seems to be finally clearing up... The Kings who defeated the Glories in a game last Wednesday night, will play the Ten Pins tonight for the second half championship. If Denton's Kings should lose to the Ten Pins, there will be another game played next week for the season's championship between the Morning Glories and the Ten Pins. The West showed the East a few things last week in the National Intercollegiate track meet held at Pittsburg, when California and Stanford fought it out between themselves for the championship and left all the eastern schools in the dust. This California sunshine surely does wonders for the athletes, doesn't it. As I pointed out last week in this column, the sport scribes of the country were slightly amiss in their \ statments as to the ability of Babe Ruth to last out the present year. I wasn't a bit surprised when I read in the Herald that the Babe blew up last Sunday and smacked out three lusty circuit -blows, to let the sporting world know that he hasn't forgotten the combination. As I said last week I knew he'd come through, and he did. And now folks, as I end this column for the final time this quarter, I want to tell you that it has been a pleasure to write this for your entertainment (or censorship). I'll leave you now and hope that well meet again next fall.

VIKING TENNIS MEN LOSE JO_JAYVEES Mount Vernon Net Team Defeats Normal by 4 to 2 Score Mount Vernon junior college tennis team won their second victory over Viking net men last Monday afternoon when they took four matches out of the four singles and two doubles that were played. They won their previous contest by the same match score; Dick Stearns saved the day for the Bellingham team by winning his singles match .and teamed with Finley to win a double match. In the singles Stearns was extended to his limit to win from Trulson of the college. In the doubles victory they won the third set after the score in sets was tied at one all. The same Viking double team won at Mount Vernon Saturday, while Finley was the lone victor in singles. Summary of Monday's matches: Finley (J. C.) defeated Sather (B) 6-1, 1-6, 6-3; Briton (J. C.) defeated Finley (B), 4-6, 6-4, 8-6; Stearns (B) defeated Trulson (J. C), 6-4, 5-10, 7-5; Gilmore (J. C.) defeated Sherwood (B), 7-5, 6-3. Finley and Stearns (B) defeated Trulson and Briton (J. C.),^6-4, 5-7, 6-0; Finley and Gilmore (J. C.) defeated Sherwood and Slather (B) 6-4, 9-7. o KINGS WIN CHANGE TO MEET TEN PINS The Kings won their chance to meet the Ten Pins for the second half championship by defeating the Morning Glories, first half champs, 3 to 2. This gives the Kings two victories to one defeat in games with the Glories. Although neither team played very fast baseball Wednesday the low score indicates that many boners were pulled by both teams when they had men on bases. The Glories started out fast and scored both their runs during their first ups. The winners came back to score one run. The score remained this way until the fourth inning when two fielding errors let two runs across the platter for the Kings. Hammett's Glories tried hard to score two needed runs in the seventh but fell short of their goal. o KINGS AND TEN PINS ARE TIED FOR FIRST MEN'S SINGLES TITLE TAKEN BY HOUGHTON Kratz Defeated in Three Out of Five Hard-Fought Sets The Kings and Ten Pins are tied for the. second half intramural title and will have to play-off to decide who will meet the Morning Glories for the school championship.

This strenuous exercise caused many couples to leave the hall for a little fresh air or something. This discouraged the members of the orchest r a so that at about ten o'clock they packed up their instruments and departed. About then the couples were coming back and wanted to dance but being too late they consoled themselves with more cards and pool.

Yesterday afternoon Bill and his brother, Charles, finished playing their postponed match with Rork and Houghton for the men's doubles championship.

DENTON'S KINGS WIN INTRAMURAL CONTEST Morning Glories Lose Important Game by Close Score Sport Xchanges By RALPH SHENENBERGER Because "intramural" had too many units to fit easily into a headline, the sport writers of the Puget Sound Trail offered a theater pass to the person suggesting the best synonym for it. Leave it to them to pick a girl as the prize winner. The word she handed in was "mural," which does not sound so bad even to the Viking writers. * * * Five men tied for first place in the pole vaulting event in the recent 17. S. inter-collegiate track meet. The five jumpers were not able to clear the bar above 13 feet 6 inches, so the points had to be divided. Those that were among the five that are world famous include: Bill Graber of U. S. C, who holds the world record at 14 feet 4% inches; Bill Miller of Stanford, who won the Olympic game title at over 14 feet, and Keith Brown, a Yale sophomore, who has cleared 14 feet indoors. The other two of the five were Jefferson of U. C. L.

The first inning began in a rally for both teams. The Kings, who were first at bat, garnered three runs on hits by Jackson, Williams, and Denton. The Morning Glories, undaunted by the King's vicious attack came back in their half of the inning and scored six runs. Glories Score High The Kings were held scoreless for the next five innings by the masterful chucking of Chet Partis and fair support by his team mates. The Morning Glories made scores in every inning except the third, and ran their total number of hits to the sensational figure of twenty-five. Harold Jones was the only player who was able to slam out a home run. Jones' four-base hit was a long hard drive over the King's center fielder and was one of the longest home runs made in the intramural circuit this spring.

REPORTERS Glen Willock, Rhoda LeCocq, Jean McMillan, Dick Albert, Louise Schulz, Beth Hankins Why Grades? Why have grades in college? They are meaningless and cause much hard feeling and create a spirit of competition that is not desirable. Why should we be graded in comparison to someone else; why not get what we deserve by our own merits? Students should go to college to get an education riot to get better grades than someone else. Most of them have lost the idea of studying to learn all they possibly can and just exert themselves enough to try and beat the other fellow. One of the greatest causes of this wrong attitude is the present system of grading. In this comparative system the student who receives an A does not necessarily do excellent work but he is just that much better than the poorest one. Then this idea of there being only a certain number of A's and B's and so on is wrong too. If a student does good work he is entitled to a grade for it no matter how many others there are that do just as good work. It is time, therefore, for the authorities to recognize the fact that this system of grading could be greatly improved upon, because it is not desirable as it fails to bring forth the student's best. efforts. J. M o Working Students Penalized Teachers continue to pile on assignments which have to be done in some part of the library building. Rushing is now the order of the day as the end of the spring quarter is so near. To most of us who have plenty of free hours this means a great deal of time to spend, but not all of us have this time free when the library is open. y Unfortunately there is a great problem facing those of our num-br who work after school in order to get enough money to attend. The question for them is not, "Are we willing to work?' but "When are we going to do it all?" In the preceding quarters it has been comparatively easy, for the library was open at eight in the morning and from twelve to one at noon as well. Thus by an hour's earlier rising and a hastily eaten lunch anyone who was sincere in his wish to study could gain two hours of concentrated work. Today everything is changed, because the library opens at , 8 : 3 0 in the morning and closes during the noon hour. It is also closed all day Saturday. For these reasons it is very hard for the working students to find time for library work. Are these people to be really blamed if their grades go down and subsequently lower the average of the whole.school? We ask those in authority if there is nothing that can be done "to change this situation— gt; at least for the remaining week of the quarter—so that we can all get in a little extra time and try to raise our grades. jw •—••—•• "« "—-"-"• •"• On this second day of June, nineteen hundred and thirty-three, we, the post-mentioned, declare ourselves of sound, mind, and do hereby make our last will and testament: I, Bert Gallanger, do will and bequeath the "light" I saw to Gus Lensrud. I, Nelson Brewer, do leave my most exquisite set of Tarzan books and Chuck Atlas exercisers to Lew Lovegren. I, Einar Larson, will my "New Russian Primer" to Bill Pierron. We, Vernie Leatha and Davy Jones, do leave our tremendous popularity with women folk and our political ring to any two freshmen that can make use of. them. We, Marion Todd and Jimmy Butler, bequeath a very popular corner underneath the dormitory steps to Jane O'Niel and Don Cole. I, Mildred Olsen, will leave Pete Peterson to any incoming woman that wants him. I, Red Van Over, will my broad (?) and winning smile to Ernest McDonnell. I, Clark Hubler, will the key to the bird cage on the second floor to Harry Goheen so he may become acquainted with a new bunch of owls that are going to be placed in there. I, Jimmy Stoddard, leave my silver tongue to some lucky frosh. We, Chuck Thomas and Brinky Brinkman, leave our combined track ability and several dozen footprints on the track to George Albee. I, Ken Elder, leave my heart rend-ind ability to Jimmy Campbell. We now do set our hands and seals to this last will and testament. o STUDENT HAS BAD DAY The Kallet-Schlink book about the innumerable guinea pigs leads one to stop and think. Great animal the guinea pig—a mere rodent, oppressed by scientists for years—and now it has "hogged" the limelight. Most of the filings Mr. Public eats with gusto are frowned upon by the consumers' league—one may be sure that his favorite menu reeks with bacteria and insidious toxins. A German officer killed himself by eating' a tube of well-known tooth paste. There are things worse than pink toothbrush. The wide distribution of this book gives club women something to talk about. Imagine being a member of the consumers' league when all the exposures were confidential! — t Rhythmic Rantings j • • — • m .-•»—•• u •«!» Dark Side of Life Meets Weary Seekers of Knowledge Up betimes, and was much awed by sight of sun. Recognized the yellow orb only because had read somewhere of its presence. As soon as the first shock subsided, hied myself to the breakfast table, where a plate of porridge greeted my angry eye. Scurried to catch street car, which I did only by the skin of my teeth. So tired was I from this endeavor, that I did not recover until time to alight, and climb the terrace. Took so long at this arduous task, that upon reaching the top, found it to be after the appointed hour for class. With a sigh of mingled joy and pain, strolled to tennis courts, where I marveled at the physique of a young male who wore no shirt of any kind. Later, took a terrific beating at the hands of a willowy wrench, %with a susprisingly strong right arm. To Baughman's, where I drewne'd my sorrows in a milk shake, and two "wing, dings," after which, found myself feeleing worse rather than better. Went« to class, and listened to a long and tedious dissertation on some vague subject, which I did not grasp. Fixed upon the teacher a gaze which indicated that he was surely an act of God, and proceeded to think of other things. But alas! He saw through my guise, and called upon me, whereupon I floundered about at his mercy. Finally, he glowered at me and admonished me to pay heed to his words of wisdom, which I resolved to do. Went to Viking office to pursue the more aesthetic side of life, but there became engaged in an argument on love. This subject not being within my range, I wended my weary way to my abode where I perused the evening periodical, PPPPP
