Students who plan to do their student teaching next quarter and have had appointments, are being registered at the present time. All other students will go to the -Registrar's office next week, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, November 26, 27, and 28 and make appointments to see their advisors concerning their programs. If students wish to register before next quarter they must get appointments on those three days. Registration in December Those who graduate next quarter will be registered on December 3 and 4. Upper division students, the special students, and those who will be in the third, fourth, or fifth quarters in attendance, with the exception of those who expect to do their student teaching, will register, December 5, 6 , 7. Students who graduate next quarter will have their programs checked and should pay their fees in the afternoons of December 3 and 4. The others should pay their fees in the afternoons from the fifth to the tenth of December, inclusive. Those who are now teaching in rural schools will register Saturday, December 8. Students not ready to pay fees when programmed will not have their programs checked, into classes. That is, if the classes are closed, they will have to see their advisors to change their programs. If fees are not paid by December 10, they will be forced to wait until January 2, 1929, when the first quarter and incoming freshmen will be registered. That a questionnaire be circulated among the student body for the purpose of finding out whether or not students are satisfied with the present handling of funds, is a possible matter which may be brought before the Board of Control's next meeting, Monday, November 26, according to Don tSickney, president of the Students' Association. Other probable business will include a decision of the type of a sweater to be awarded to the first year letter men; slip-over, or sweater coat. If time warrants, Stickney said he would suggest that a* cash prize be offered for a school song, submitted from a school-wide contest which has been 'talked up' by interested students lately.

Twenty- five normal students have been canvassing the smaller communities in the county. One thousand dollars is to be raised and according to Mr. Williams the outlook for raising it is favorable. President C. H. Fisher gave a talk in behalf of the Red Cross roll call. over radio station KVOS on Wednesday evening of last week. He told of the good work of the Red Cross and asked for help in raising the quota. Kathleen Norris celebrated American novelist, also talked over the radio last week for the organization. o A debate commission composed of four students representing Debate interests of the school, presented facts and suggestions regarding past and future situations at the regular meeting of the Board of Control in the Students' Association office last Monday, November 19. The institutional value of debate, its consequence when supported morally and financially by Board, and the .clearing up of past misunderstandings due to a recent unauthorized letter received by the Board, were the main issue in the discussion. As a result, a clear understanding was reached by all the members on each side. Debate Budget. A motion carried to the effect that the debate commission should present at a near future time the tentative debate schedule for 1929, prospective team material, and an estimated budget for the Winter quarter. A motion was passed at a former meeting of the Board was corrected to read as the following: "Matters of official information are to be given the Viking and to the public by the secrteary of the Board only."' During business proceedure a motion was carried instructing Sam Ford, Co-op manager, to have 4,000 "Bellingham" stickers printed and sold at cost in the Students' Co-op. Thursday evening, December 6, at 8:15, the Normal Drama Club will present its quarterly play, "Sun-Up" by Lulu Vollmer. This play of North Carolina mountain folk though interestingly local in its setting, dialect and incidents, is universal in the best sense. Its characters are so human in their motives and sentiments that they will appeal to all audiences. The flavor and color that they derive from the provincial setting merely serve to enrich this universal quality. It is a character play preeminently, yet full of stirring incidents; it is a serious play, as ajwhole, yet full of a most spontaneous and genuine humor. Widow Cagle, whose own character makes the play, is the personification of humor, but the humor, the shrewdness, and the innate knowledge of human nature are not Widow Cagle's only traits. Beneath her inexpressive exterior and apparent' hardness, lies fine deep sentiment. At the close of the play, with Rufe dead in France, and as the sun rises, she converses with the dead boy and tells him that love of her own son has widened into love for all women's sons: "Hit wuz sundown when ye left me, son,—but hit's sun-up now." are the closing words of the dramatic play. Widow Cagle, played by Claire Wilson, is the dominating personality of the play. Upon the character portrayal of this part the play either stands or falls. "The play is presented," states Victor H. Hoppe, director, "not to so much to develop one individual as to give a psychology of the life of a backwoods community." Everyone contributes in adding color to the drama. hTe leading parts o fEmmy Todd and Rufe Cagle portrayed by Margaret Sheppard and Norman Bur-chette are well dramatized.

Dorothy Sasse Paul Howell Dolly Anderson ^ AMORAL Once upon a time a king reigned over his subjects very wisely. After many years his kingdom grew so large that he could no longer attend to the complaints of each subject and they began to be discontented. " I ' d o not like the kind of stories the masters give me to read." " W e need a holiday for a picnic." " I never have time to read the Saturday Evening Post since I must be asleep at 10:00 o'clock." These were some of the complaints that came from his beloved and loyal subjects. This troubled the king greatly. He walked to and fro in. front of his office desk and went to a movie to try to think the mo- Vmentous problem through to solution. But he could not invent a plan whereby he could restore peace and harmony once more. ,. After he had grown thin and wan, one of his counsellors, a very wise and good man, said: * ''Your Majesty, we must have a newspaper for our people to write their opinions and thoughts in." To this the king answered: "Good and noble sir, we will have a newspaper? Thy thoughts are intelligent thoughts and serve well thy king!" From that day to this the King has lived happily with his many sub jects. „, MORAL: W R I T E Y O U R O P I N I O N S F O R T H E NORTHW E S T VIKING. —M. B. To the Northwest Viking:- r During the last week or two there has been a rather unfortunate situation brought about by the fact that due to some misunderstandings, the policy and action of the Board of Control have been misinterpreted. It is to remedy some of these misunderstandings that this is being written. It would be highly desirable to bring up all these things in a student forum. Regarding the policy of secrecy of the Board of Control, I have been unable to find anything so far that would warrant a statement like that given in a contribution to the Viking to the effect that the Board is making an effort to exclude students from a knowledge of their own affairs. "It is a somewhat accepted principle in governmental circles that public knowledge of all affairs is only detrimental to the well-being of the same public." This statement made in the Viking, is the opinion of the Board of Control in general, and when asked by a member of the staff, one of the Board members remarked that no doubt a reporter would not be allowed to report ALL affairs. But it is wise and desirable that students keep in touch with the actions of their representatives. In connection with this I wish to state that I have never heard or discovered any action of the Board of Control barring students or reporters from all the meetings although it is generally accepted, as stated above, that there are times when the meetings must necessarily be private. The policy of the present racts were no known. I snail try to •state the facts of the cas to correct this impression! Investigation Made A committee was appointed; to make, an investigation among the faculty and students "getting as fairly representative a group as "possible., The debate coach was included in this group. There were opinions for and against debate both among faculty and students. It would take too much space to say more, than that the general opinion seems to indicate that debate interest isn't what it should be outside of the debate club and classes. Howeye"r the investigation of the committee is not taken as final. The refusal of an appropriation is beside the point because the debate club did not ask for an appropriation and also because the funds had ^already been apportioned for the quarter before this question arose. Board Wishes Co-operation The Board distinctly voiced its co-operation with the debate club and debating when.the matter was first brought up and wrote a letter to the debate coach-toHhat effect misundersttandirig was caused. Tnis November 7, before much of this should clear the Board from many of those things not now under r stood. The history of debate in this school has been as follows: Debate was carried on her in the form of normal school competition as well as with other minor colleges up until about three years ago. At that BOOK REVIEW "The Old and the; New" by Lingi Pirandello; E. P: Button Co., N. Y., 1928 CO-OP CIRCULATING LIBRARY. * gt; With the romantic setting of Sicily in the nineteenth century, Lingi Pirandello, the author of "The Outcast" 7 and a rather startling play "Six Characters in Search of an Author" has evolved a novel worthy of a great deal of- praise. ;\ '' In Sicily, as in most every other country, there is friction between the new and the old. In "The New and the Old" we find patriots and business men, royalists and commoners, wrestling with the same age old problem. ." Pirandello is not only an author but also somewhat of a playwright to play up the dramatic monents in the novel. '•• gt;''.' He handles scores of Sicilian patriots, citizens and people with the ease of a proficient stage director. There is a certain amount of the love element just enough to hold a person who reads for that sort of thing. We see a woman's influence in the government of a country, indirectly perhaps but there nevertheless. The narrative would interest anyone who cares for novels with a political trend. However the thing which attracted me most was the exquisite description and the rich color in the* story. I noticed that like most writings of the Mediter-aneah it is startling and holds one's !'• gt; gt; JUKES^Inc.

"Meet General Grant"9 Board is no different from that of j time there was a cup in competition any of the former Boards in this j and that cup is now down in the The statement of the board of control in regard to lack of interest in debate seems to be quite vigorously challenged. Judging 'from the dozens of student opinions received in the Viking office interest in debate does not appear to be entirely lacking. ~~' ' i '• -- o G A T E CRASHERS Those professional gate-crashers who were present at the recent In-forinah are to be congratulated upon their astuteness in being able to get by. Perhaps it is really in a spirit of fun that it is done; perhaps they do not realized that they aren't making a'hit with those who attend by legitimate means. ^ At any rate, it is only fair that to enjoy a good time, all interested should not be above contributing their share of the expense. The gale-crashers aren't giving their more conscientious friends a square deal—in fact they are merely parasites, clinging vines. Speaking of parasites—one might paraphrase, "Once a parasite, al- .ways a parasite." We wonder if those who are crashers at social affairs, are the same ones who try to crash life? We wonder? —C. M. R E C I P R O C I TY Business houses of Bellingham spend both time and money in advertising in The Northwest Viking. The Viking contains the advertisements gt;of the leading shops and department stores of the city. Student specials, contest, sales, are all worked out with the motive of catching the eye of the student. Caterers go out of their way in service. As an example: firms have lent equipment, help, and window space for benefits of nearly every Normal class or organization. They serve us only for the asking. Now in turn;—turn about is fair play. Reciprocity in other words is all they ask. And hundreds of Bel- Jingham Normal people do spend thousands upon thousands of dollars J n down-town Bellingham. Does this money go into the right channels? Does it go to the friends of the Bellingham Normal? ''; Merchants tell us that many students let them know they are from the Normal. But scores do not! Next time when buying say " I 'm a Normal student." respect. Secretary to Give Out News Now the question arises as to who should give out the official information of the Board of Control and as to what is official information. Official information, I take, it, is information gotten from a board member and misconstrued in any way it cannot be regarded as official information. The only logical person to give out official information Is the secretary and' a motion was passed that, "hereafter all official information to be given to the Viking and the public, be given by the secretary only." The date of this motion is November fifth (5). Board Is Misunderstood There is another gross misunderstanding regarding the attitude of the Board of Control towards debate in this school. This has been the cause these: "To me ---------- Northwest Viking - 1928 November 23 - Page 3 ---------- WASHINGTON^ STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM.

When the final whistle shrieked over the Normal-U. of W. frosh 'game on Waldo field last Saturday, it told not only of the close of- v t he game, but *also of the close of the Viking season of football. That final whistle brought to a finish one of the hardest and toughest schedules that any of the Viking teams have had to face for several years. VIKINGS TRAMPLED IN MUD BY FROSH U. of W. Frosh Smash Way Thru Viking Defense ot Score Early ....Vikings Determined, But in Vain. It all started when the West Seattle Athletic club invaded the Viking home and battered and bruised its way through the Viking squad for a thriteen to six;, victory over the Norsemen. That was a tough battle. The Normal gridders, beaten and crippled, traveled to Ellens-burg the following week, only to have the Wildcats trample on them to the tune of twelve to nothing, in one of the most fiercely contested battles of the season. The score of the game is no indication of how hard the game, really was. The battle with the Wildcats crippled the Vikings still more than the one with the W. S. A. C. the week before. Cheney Savages Following the Ellensburg battle the Vikings returned home to play the Cheney Savages in the second of the Tri-Normal series. This was also the home-coming game for the local team. The Norsemen entered the contest still suffering from injuries received in the Ellensburg tussle. When the smoke of battle had cleared from Waldo field on that home-coming day, it was, to see a defeated team of Vikings dejectedly straggling off the field. Cheney had won the game by a single touchdown. Bellingham had again failed to score, and another black mark was chalked up against the home boys. After suffering three defeats in a row things were beginning to look rather dark for the Normalites. The week following the Cheney battle, St. Martin's College was entertained by the Vikings. This time the outlook was somewhat brighter, and the locals beat their way through the Rangers' ranks to a seven to nothing victory. Super Varsity Still feling exultant over their first win of the season, the Vikings next journeyed to Seattle to mix with the powerful Super-Varsity eleven. The game was played on a sand covered field with a cold wind and driving rain blowing over them the while. Though inspired' by their win of a week before and working as they never worked before, the Vikings were doomed to defeat, and again, lost by a lone touchdown. The score was six to nothing. Frosh Game On their return home the Vikings made ready for the strong U. of W. Frosh eleven. By this time the Norsemen were pretty well , disheartened but still''/had a desire to win one more game. However at the close of the battle on Saturday, Nov. 17, it was" seen that the Vikings had suffered another defeat. This time it was the worst that they had been beaten during the entire season. The football season may riot have been a success, but we cannot say that the team was a failure. A team that gives as good an account of itself as did the Vikings during the season just*, finished, is far from being a failure. Much credit is* the team for the showing it made, even in defeat. The Northwestern National Bank Bellingham, Wash. "• WE SOLICIT THE NORMAL ACCOUNTS S.K.Scheldrup,Pk.C; 'i;..;. Palmer,Graduate ":.^.,, immm Fighting grimly, determinedly but vainly against a triumphant pack of Husky pups, the Bellingham Vikings went down to a muddy defeat on Waldo field Saturday, at the hands of the University of Washington Freshmen, 13-0. Lacking perhaps some of the brilliance, but displaying power and fight, the locals went down in their last game of the season before a superior team which combined two of the greatest assets of a successful football team: a heavy efficient line and a fast and brainy back-field. Frosh Good Good generalship characterized the winning Frosh team. In the first half use of the tantalizing delayed buck, with the heavy line opening wide holes in the opposition with seeming ease, the Pups were able to drive down the field with long gains of three to eight yards on each push. As the Vikings began to plug the line and get the ball carriers while they were starting, the Frosh took to the air, and for the remainder of the game, the ball was ,in the air almost as much as on the ground. The game saw some of the prettiest and most consistent punting which has = been displayed on the local field for some time. Erickson, kicking for the Normal, and Jenkins for the Frosh, both got off nice boots which added much to the conflict. Score in First Period The first score for the Frosh came in the first period, when after being held once a short distance from the goal, the Pups again drove down the field and put the ball over by means of a short pass, from Jenkins to Nelson. St. Luise kicked a perfect goal. After bringing the ball within scoring distance in the third quarter, the Frosh again switched from passing and put the ball over by a nine-yard run through line. This was a wonderful exhibition of twisting and shifting by Hufford, star Frosh back,, who was not expected to play. Erickson Stars Chuck Erickson was probably the outstanding back for Normal, his passing to Ray Odell, and his receiving of several of Odell's passes being a bright light in the performance of the squad. While Hufford was the stellar player for the Frosh during the second half, he shared his glory with Patrick, who in the second quarter intercepted a pass and got away for a seventy-yard run, and who later in the game was on the receiving end of many of Jenkins' nice passes.

The Frosh have undoubtedly disposed of the Viking bacon by this time. Perhaps they ' ate it for breakfast last Sunday morning. We hope it made them sick, though we do not wish anyone any ill luck. £ £ * •* / / seems that football for this season has been something of a failure in more ways than one. WE ARE WILLING TO ADMIT A FLOP. IN POINTS OF GAMES WON, BUT IT IS HARDER TO ADMIT A FLOP IN THE FINANCIAL DEPARTMENT Gate receipts this year fell far below what was expected at the outset of the season. No matter, how poor was the football season the team itself was not a failure.. As proof, we invite you to glance over the record of our team this year. Games won, 1 ; lost, 5. That last looks terrible, but look at these figures; the Viking opponents scored only 50 points. The Vikings scored a total of 1 3 points. The above figures go to show that the games were, closely contested. Consequently the Vikings could not have been a complete failure. ," ANY WAY YOU LOOK AT IT, THERE ARE SOME GOOD PROSPECTS FOR NEXT SEASON. From now on until the end of March the fans may look forward to a siege of basketball. The J-V's have a good record to uphold this season, since the last year's team won the B league championship. All the Supers need is a little more 'super' if they intend to win a title. -s Here at Last! What Happens in the Dressing Room and Showers B E N HAMILTON Here they come!

Enter the Visitors The down-trodden Huskies, of the University of Washington ^stubbed their toe for the fourth successive time when they dropped a tough mix with Stanford, 12 to 0, at Palo Alto before President-elect Herbert Hoover. Washington greatly outplayed the highly touted Cardinals on the ground but the supremacy was decided by an effective passing attack which netted the two touchdowns. ., W. S. C. and U.-.S. C. The inevitable consequence of the meeting -of two unbeaten determined elevens, the Washington State Cougars and the Southern California Trojans, resulted in a 27 to 13 victory and the leadership of the Pacific Coast conference for the Southern aggregation. A crowd of 50,000 witnessed the 18-year old field general lead his team on to victory "in the heavy scoring melee. Rohwer, of Washington State raced 90 yards from kick off for a touchdown. Two former Bellingham students, Lloyd Hein, linesman, and Ernest "Bud" Hansen, fullback, are holding down regular berths on the Cougar squad. Princeton-Yale In a classic game, watched with intense-interest by 60,000 hoarse spectators, the Princeton Tiger enticed the Yale Bulldog into its lair and completely annihilated him. The result of this fifty-five-year-J old contest gave Princeton a 12 to2 victory. Notre Dame-Carnegie The unwritten law of Notre Johnny Beaton, Sedro-Woolley halfback, spelled another Whatcom 'defeat 12 to 6, Saturday, November 17. Ripping through the line, tearing- around end for long gains, and his high spirals keeping the ball out of the danger zone, he porved to be a constant worry to the Red^ men. «-• . - Clint McBeath was the Whatcom hero. Late in the third quarter the fleet halfback, playing his first game as a regular, intercepted a Sedro-Woolley pass and raced 70 yards down the sidelines for the Redskins' only touchdown. This was the most spectacular play seen on the local gridiron this season. 4 *' Pass Intercepted' ' An intercepted pass, a Whatcom penalty that put the ball on the 8-yard line, and eBaton, faking an end run, slid through a hole in the right side of the line for the first score of the game. Whatcom retaliated by tying the score in the third period by McBeath's long run. Then early in the fourth quarter, Whatcom fumbled and the ball was finally downed by a Cub player on the 10-yard line: A line buck failed and Whatcom's defense sucking in for another line smash, Johnson skirted around end unmolested.

The most important sciences are •the least appreciated—biology and psychology, and their discoveries are matters of comparative unimportance in the stimation of t he laity. In reality, the future of 'civilization rests upon these dist .coveries. I n vain attempts to run this .. world, men have taken science and attempted to destroy civilization, men have gone through long periods of social and political meddling with Hell just around the corner, but men "have never used human intelligence for human problems," the speaker said. Politics must be taken out of politics and placed in t he hands of science, jt was declared. Enemies of Progress ~ y ; And then there are the four great enemies of progress—the optimist, the pessimist, the conservative, and .the radical—and the savior is the scientific liberal. One draws the .conclusion that, modestly, Wiggam considers himself the latter. An enviable position, obtainable as yet, only to those who wish to make •the effort to gain the scientific a t titude. ; ' In connection with this matter -;of life in the future, is the question J—Heredity or Environment. "He- : : redity," says Mr. Wiggam. "En-jvironment," says Clarence Darrow. I "We'll tell the people just the •: truth," Mr. Wiggam says. "I'll j speak." Heredity is really the more ..important factor in determining 'Iwhy one man is different from : Other men, Wiggam contends. Ed- ' ucation will not improve inborn 'qualities. For this latter fact the .: speaker was thankful. ; As a sample of his cloud-creating ^ability, the following was offered: • f " In the midst of our luxury, degene r a t i v e diseases are increasing and ^skilled men are decreasing." But ..v—"Intelligent, people live longer i t h an other people. Geniuses are among the strongest individuals of i t he age. Brilliant people average .better morally than, others." . College Graduates • ; Still—"The American college graduates are a dying race." But— "Supremely successful people are .more than reproducing themselves." /Any hint here that American coll e g e graduates are not supremely Successful people? "If civilization can be, kept go- ; ing," said Wiggam, "supreme •groups may. furnish the leaders, • otherwise civilization may prove to : be a brief biological joyride with the jungle at the end." ;,, Men must apply scientific con- ' ceptions to the lives, it was stated. ; The laws of life cannot be neglect-zed. Eugenics plans to educate human judgment. The ideal of the ; ,present civilization i s , a better race :; t h a n ourselves. And, finally: ''"Lib- ' • erty, beauty.and God are given men ; by science." - "i Probably few speakers have ^caught the spirit of their subject / s o "aptly as Wiggam has achieved ; his,!

Condolences are extended to our friend, Mr. Gwinn, over the recent death af his wife. We hope that in some measure, the friendly sympathy of the students may help to console him in this time of sorrow. o GEORGE ARLISS The performance of "The Merchant of Venice with George Arliss as Shylock was a fulfillment of the most extravagant hopes of those who attended. Shylock being in more voice expression and less in the bodily expression. The costumes were .unusually beautiful and very effective. Some of those who a t tended were Miss Osborn, Miss Erickson, Miss Treat, Miss Hopper and Mr. and Mrs. Philippi. o SOCIETY Mary Margaret Doyle, a former student of Bellingham Normal who is now attending the University of Washington, has been pledged to the Athena Debate Club. This is one of the two debating societies for women on t he campus. Eleanore Brown is visiting in Seatle this week-end and will attend the Phi Kappa Sigma fraternity's fall informal Saturday evening, November 24. Glen Matheson will be a guest at the Theta Chi fraternity's informal during her visit in Seattle this week. Fourteen Normal students set out on a hike which began at t h e frosty hour of dawn on November 18, and ended at noon with the winter sun doing full duty above the unsurpassed combination of natural beauties which this section of the state affords. Led by Roy Arnett, the hikers tramped four miles singing, laughing, and studying the country through which they passed. A cliff was scaled from whose rocky prominence the hikers gazed enchanted upon Mt. Baker clear and white on the one hand, and the Canadian Selkirks which lay rumpled and snowy above the distant salt water on the other. Whatcom couny stretched out in a . gigantic checker-board for miles below, and through the trees Lake Whatcom and Toad Lake shimmered in the sun. Varied Excitement' Geological specimens caused deep study and solemn argument. A black bovine elicited many exclamations and much speculation. Some of the more daring of the party took trips across Toad Lake upon a craft whose seaworthiness was very much to be questioned. An apple orchard proved delightfully fruitful an hour before breakfast was served in a natural shelter carved in a mammoth boulder on the shores of Toad Lake. ' Harold Rich and Roy Arnett proved indefatigable in preparing a delicious back-to-nature breakfast. The Derby . Hikers and their guests included: Harold Rich, Roy Arnett, Thad Ellis, Ed Command, Ernest Hilsenberg, Leslie Sanford, Marion Richardson, Velma Hilsenberg, Margaret Barnett, Louise Sommer, Edna Goulter, Lovenia Alexander, Florence Horsewell, Alice Sundquist. -—o Two Bowling Teams Start Tournament Homesick Students Soothed by Library There has been almost enough written about the new library to fill a book, what with iengthy dissertations on the beauty of its architecture, the grandeur of its spacious halls and the artistic beauty which prevails throughout the building. How many people can realize what such a building would mean to a new student away from home for perhaps the first time, homesick for the pleasures and comforts of home? The atmosphere of the. library i t self is rather a balm to such a tried spirit, with its air of comradship. of hospitality and the countless blessings that only books can yield to those who know the joy of searching for them. I n the reading room it seems that any shadows of trouble or shyness would be slowly diffused by the peaceful, quiet dignity and friendliness of the surroundings; or if one cannot yield to these influences, who could resist the appeal of the rare sunshine which sometimes floods the room with glory through the tall windows? BARTON HOME BITS Friday night the girls of Barton Home gave a surprise party in honor of the birthday of Jeanetfce Cullis. After an evening of music a delightful luncheon was served. The table decorations were in red and white. • Mrs. Abrams of Aberdeen spent Sunday and Monday visiting her daughter, Mildred. Mrs. Evans and Mr. and Mrs. Ronalds of Seattle spent Sunday with Ruth Evans. Miss Alice Langley spent Monday, November 12, t he Canadian Thanksgiving day with cousins in Vancouver, B. C.

EXTEMPORE CONTEST Continued from Page One) Last Friday evening marked the initiation of bowling as a recreational sport for Normal students, as well as faculty, when the Alley Rats headed by Coach' Carver, bowled their way to victory over their strong adversaries the Pin Pushers, by a narrow margin.
