S.- Last week in assembly Nathan •Stewart rendered a program of baritone solos. After several groups from the recognized literature of music, he sang "Old Man River", from "Showboat". Whereas his first numbers stimulated a serious and appreciative response, the applause following "Old Man River" was deafening, and the artist was held several minutes after the bell rang for dismissal, which is an extraordinary occurrence for the student body. We will grant that our assembly concerts are gradually raising the level of student appreciation for the values of pure, music, but since an artist should also move his audience by vibrating the most responsive chords in us, then "Old Man River" was the best concert number that has been heard in the auditorium in some little time. We wonder if there wouldn't be more of these semi-popular pieces on cur concert programs if there were fewer of the critical "intellectuals" in the audience. We would like to see this sort of thing recommended to our entertainers, with the request that they replace some of their Arias with some of our Songs. We would probably have more of "Old Man River" if it could be run on the program as "Ber Alte Herr Fluss Des Schauboot". - rW.'S. N. S. Only College Symphonic Band on Tour of America Will Appear at Mt. Baker Theater, Wednesday. STUDENT TICKETS ADMIT Concerts Are Under Direction of James Robert Gillette, Who Is a Nationally Known Organist. Monday night, Efram Zimbalist will play at the Christian Church. According to musicians with whom we have talked, he is one of the few outstanding violinists of the world. Little things like lesson plans or coming examinations., should., not prevent., a.. Normal., student from hearing a really great artist perform on the most eloquent., of., all musical instruments, yet there will be a great many who,., because., of various matters of seeming importance, will fail to attend. That students are to be admitted on their activities tickets, in our opinion, is one of the finest privileges of Normal life. W. S. N. S. The Carleton Symphony band from Carleton College, Northfield, Minnesota, the only college symphonic band on tour of America, \ has been engaged for a concert here under the auspices of the Belling-ham State Normal and the Women's Music club, at the Mount J3aker Theater next Wednesday, January 29, at 8:15. They will also present a concert there in the afternoon at 2:30. The concerts will be under the direction of James Robert Gillette, nationally known organist and pioneer in the symphony band movement.

Here is a little editorial we read last week. It is worthy of consideration. "Speaking at a college conference at New York, Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, Secretary of the Interior and former president of Leland Stan-for Junior university, declared that the four-year college., course., has served its time and is dropping out of the picture. He added that the A. B. degree is also going. "Dr. WilDur shows that he is cognizant of a fact that is still beyond the view of the great mass of myopic educators. They were brought up under the old freshman-sophomore-junior- senior system, and they feel —not think—that it expresses the last word cf wisdom just because it is old and venerable, not to say out of date. If the gropers for a system in the old days had hit upon a five-year college course that would be urged on us today by colleges for the same reason. Miss Anna Ullin is teaming a rather extraordinary advanced German class this quarter, consisting mainly of faculty members as pupils. Among these are: Misses Nora B. Cummins and Ruth Kangley, and Messrs. Edward Amtzen, H. E. Fowler, and Harold B. Smith. o President C. H. Fisher delivered an address in Mount Vernon last Tuesday morning before an assembly of the Junior College. The assembly was held in the high school auditorium. The outstanding dance of the year as to originality and novelty will be the women's informal to be given at the Crystal ballroom of the Leopold hotel, February 28. The dance will be a source of surprises from the programs to the decorations and entertainment. An unusual surprise stunt will be given during intermission which will climax the night's program. Tickets Sold Out Although 150 tickets were placed on sale, the entire group is practically gene, showing an unusual interest among the students in the dance. Programs have gone to print but will not be ready to be given out until late next month. The programs will carry out the Night Club idea, which will predominate in the decorations and entertainment, in brilliant colors. Girls will be able to get programs to match their dresses because of the variety of colors. Work on the dance, as. a whole, is progressing nicely, according to Dorothy Sasse, general chairman. Others en the different committees are: Ruth Shepherd, program and decorations; Margaret Morrison, Katherine Friese, Mary Elizabeth Fowler, " Louisette Bergeron, Lois Slater, Ruth Sammons, and Blanche Gordon, tickets. Erickson Speaks to Primary Teachers Miss Emma Erickson of the Normal faculty, was the main speaker at the regular meeting of the Bel1 lingham primary council, held Thursday, January 16. The council consists of all the primary teachers in the city grade schools. "The individual child and his animosities", was the subject of Miss Erickson's talk, in which she spoke on the causes of this misfit child's failure in school and the possible remedies. She showed the necessity of recognizing this individual and treating him accordingly. One of the most brilliant members of the violin world, Efrem Zimbalist. will appear at the First Christian Church in a concert next Monday at 8:15 p. m., under the auspices of the Bellingham .Normal school and the Bellingham Women's Music club. Although he was born in Russia he is now a citizen of the United States and has a winter home in New York and a summer home in Connecticut where he and his wife, the former Alma Gluck, renowned soprano, live happily with their two children. * Showed Talent Early Zimbalist showed his remarkable music gifts so young that at nine years of age he became the first violinist in a grand opera orchestra, i n the autumn of 1903, at the age of fourteen, his father sent him to the Imperial Conservatory in Petrograd, where he studied under Professor Leopold Auer. He was graduated with high honors having won the coveted gold medal and the Rubenstein scholarship of 12,000 rubles. He made his Boston debut with the Symphony orchestra there, giving his first concert in America of Glazounow's "A Minor Concert". Many Novelties He has introduced two American concertos, that of Schelling and Powell, and one by Frederick Stock. He 'enlisted the aid of Josef Hof-mann, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Gabri-lowitsch, Siloti, Achron and Stasse-witsh at a concert which he sponsored in honor of his former teacher, Leopold Auer, in 1925. The most striking moment of the evening came when Zimbalist and Jascha Heifetz played a triple concerto with Leopold Auer, who still plays with the art and fire cf his virtuoso days.

What's in a name? Usually one name is as good as another, but in some cases misleading names are either very tragic or, going to the other extreme, they result in jokes. Now, when is an "Informal" not ah "Informal"? Everytime some organization up here sponsors a quarterly dance and dubs it "INF O R M A L " . True, the dances given up here are not altogether formal, only half so in that the girls wear evening dress and the majority of the men do not. At a school of this size it is only fair that the men should not be required to wear dress suits, but girls are expected and want to wear their evening gowns. Well, there is no argument there—only in this name, "Informal". The dance need not go to the other extreme and acquire the title of "Formal", but just plain "dance" would be better or perhaps some clever, creative person might be able to think up an original title that would fit. The evening's entertainment certainly cannot properly be called an "Informal" nor will "Formal" be any better—-something just between the two. •' . Is it just a habit, a rut that we have fallen into that makes us hang to that out-of-date name, "Informal"? Maybe the.dances were at one time informal, but they certainly are not any more. Women's League, you've always been leaders in progress, snap out of your lethargy and coin a new name for your dance and keep, al\ove all, that incorrect title, "Informal" O U T of your programs. ' Think, the beaulfiul setting of the new crystal ballroom, girls in lovely, graceful dresses, programs, soft lights, the music—Good heaven's, and you call it "Informal"! W e ; (and I think I am safe in speaking for ihe majority of the members) want a new name for our quarterly dance. Can't some euggestions be made or some names be suggested at the meeting of the Women's League next Friday morning ? This coming dance distinguished by the "Night Club Idea", promises to make real history for the Womens League. All the members of the League are eagerly anticipating this social event and want nothing to mar the glamor of the evening and isn't it true that the name "Informal" detracts from the charm of the evening? o O U R MUSICAL W E EK Next week promises to be a banner week in the history of Normal's musical course since it includes two, concerts by world -renowned musicians. The first recital, next Monday evening at the First Christian Church, will be given by Efrem Zimbalist. He is one of the greatest violinists living today and plays on one of the four existing Stradivarian violins. It is. a concert that not one cf us should miss. The second concer":, which will come two days later, Wednesday, will be presented by the famous CarleLon Symphony Band at ihe Mount Baker Theater and is certainly an event in the musical world of the Norlhwest. Both of these entertainments are sponsored by the Normal and the local Women's Music club. These concerts will make musical history in the Northwest, and it is desired that every Normal member attend. Student tickets anmit, so there is little rearon for not going. We are sure our instructors will be lenient and forgiving if lessons are somewhat hastily prepared on the"-following days. For after all, we seldom get to hear musicians of this type and fame in our lifetime. . M O R E S T U D E N T S A R E T R I U M P H A NT This morning in assembly, you listened to a very fine recital by our own students. It is this kind of numbers that makes us feel bur student body is worth while and a great deal of praise is'due those who participated. We are anxious to have more of these "home talent" assemblies. D U R E N C E A U FOLIO IS A D D E D T O COLLECTION The Art department has added a valuable book to its already interesting collection of art objects. It is a folio of twenty-four colored pages of modern decorative art designs by Andre Durenceau, formerly of Paris, but now living in the United "States, having come here five years ago. Since his arrival he has been applying the American conception to his work, which is. exceptionally practical and beautiful, inpluding dcorative textiles and other decorations. Exhibit in Future This folio will be one of the main features in the exhibit of modernistic design which the Art department will sponsor in the near fut u r e . v;': Other forms of. modernistic a r t to be shown are textiles, pictures, and draperies. ' YOUNG VIOLINIST SHOWS ARTISTIC TEMPERAMENT Miss Ruth Wilson of Los Angeles, a prize winner in a contest sponsored by the National Federation of Women's Music Clubs, gave a violin concert in the last Tuesday's assembly. Miss Wilson's intensity and absorption in her music denoted the artistic temperament. She played equally well the vibrant, throbbing "Hungarian Dance" and the low, singing "Lotus Land." The young violinist shows promise of great possibilities in the musical world.

FINLEY At the Student Forum last Sunday the question discussed was "To what extent is a school responsible for the moral education of students?" In discussing whether or not a school should be responsible, it was brought out that morals in the broad sense cannot be separated from daily living; are moral choices exercised constantly. Also, the school in recommending students for teaching positions is asked to do so on a basis of character as well as scholarshhip, therefore it cannot escape the question. "And besides this there is the influence of these prospective teachers upon the children of the state to be considered. The school recognizes this by the statement that a student must give evidences of good moral character j to remain in school. But two other thoughts were brought out that are not so generally recognized. One is that the school has a responsibility to protect students from thieving and so forth, and that the students have an individual responsibility toward the group. One method that has been used with success in other schools is to employ private detectives to apprehend the thieves, who are usually found to be a very small percentage of the student body. It became necessary to do that at this school twelve years ago. It was thought to be more moral to report a person who is known to be thieving, as it is a case of protecting the interest of the group, as against shielding one person. It was also pointed out that very little is known about the principles of moral education. Such an education based on religion is by no means infallibly conducive to good conduct, even in an age of faith. In an age of reason, it often results in young people, who generally lose their faith at a critical period in their lives, supposing that there is no rational basis for right conduct. Applying this to Normal, it is declared that the Orientation courses in Science and History offer a distinct spiritual shock and are quite disrupting to many students. Having been forced to see the truth of the scientific explanation of the origin of the earth and the biochemical origin of life, they proceed with the rashness of youth to throw away the Bible in its entirety. They also believe, though quite falsely, that the moral code of behavior is founded upon the Bible, whereas in truth it has grown up through social agreement during many centuries and the Bible has been only one factor, though a very large one. It was suggested that the instructors have an eye to the building up process as well as the tearing down, and that the fact that religious instruction is barred in the schools is not a hindering factor, in that it can be approached from the scientific standpoint of effect upon the individual. Another good suggestion was that a shelf of books be provided, the very best books on young peoples problems, and put together in an easily accessible place. • o _ LIBRARY HAS EXHIBIT Headquarters For^, '•.'.'•• D.

Holly Alaska BIdg, ZIMBALIST WILL USE WORLD FAMOUS VIOLIN IN CONCERT AT THE FIRST CHRISTIAN CHURCH The beautiful instrument which the owner, Efrem Zimbalist, is shown holding in the above picture is the Titian, a Stradivarius violin valued at. $35,000. Zimbalist will use this instrument in his concert next Monday evening at the First Christian Church. He is quoted as saying that the marvelous instrument has retained its beautiful tone and is in a perfect state of preservation. According to Zimbalist, the best authorities in Europe claim the Titian- to be one of the four greatest existing instruments, the others being the Joachim, owned by a Berlin banker who is a descendant of Mendelssohn; the Alard, in possession of a wealthy Scotch family, and the Messiar, which ---------- Northwest Viking - 1930 January 24 - Page 3 ---------- M00- WASHINGTON ST^TT^NORP^ "W:mmmmmmmm^mmii IJVoVf A VI / W-'v«y!!VSV«W!!VS/!l\^! gt;Vtj/! gt;\f i/ lt;!' SPORT BRIEFS h n o i) i ~g6 Now that the tragedy of EUensburg' is over, we can turn our eyes to Cheney and hope. Of course those defeats at the hands of the Wildcats were tougi, but after all they have one of the best teams in the state, so what can you expect? But we have heard of no great victories by our Redskin foes, so, maybe tonight will be different. All loyal students are expected to be sitting on the front porch early tomorrow morning to get the morning paper and the glad news at the "earliest possible moment. * * *' * - If you want to see a line-up of tough looking hombres, just take a look at the U. of W. basketball squad as shown in Wednesday morning's Herald. If those big boys don't crack somebody's pate this year, , looks are certainly deceiving. * * * # We noticed in the press the other day that Arthur, The Great Shioes, was absolutely forbidden to fight by the big man of baseball, Commissioner Landis. Well, maybe a baseball player shouldn't box, but here's hoping the football coaches don't get any such ideas about pigskin warriors, for we might then lose the services of our great Lester for our "smoker". That is, if we don't lose the ' smoker" itself. It seems impossible of course, that anything like thai could happen, but if somebody doesn't do something, the thing will die a natural death. There's only eight more weeks in this quarter, so, if anybody wants the performance before next Fall they had better start talking it up. ** * * * * The town seems crowded with entertainment tonight, for the sport fans. Of course we have our usual allowance of High School games, when Whatcom and Lynden battle on the north front, and Fairhaven and Sumas-Nooksack play on the southside floor... But the most important, greatest, and most unusual event of the evening is the third and final block of three-cushion billiard match... So if you crave., more., excitement than the high school teams can offer, trot up to the Bellingham Recreational rooms. And the best part is that the affair is sueh that you can leave your much punished pocketbook at home. o — AIR SCHOOL MAKE VIKINGS LOSE TWO TRI-NORMALGAMES TO WILDCAT TEAM EUensburg Takes First Game on Monday by Score of 28 to 20, and Second, Tuesday, 58 to 17.

The crew of Vikings that left their ship at Bellingham and started a long journey over East of the mountains, were held at bay by a snappy pack of Wildcats as they tried twice to conquer the Ellens-burg stronghold. The Vikings lost Monday night by a 28-20 score, and were forced to make a long retreat Tuesday night, when they were smothered with a 59-17 score. However, despite the two setbacks the locals still have a chance to make good showings in other Tri-normal games. EUensburg has an unusually strong team this year, haying defeated Whitman and coming close to winning from the Conference leading W. S. C. team. Last night the Vikings played the Yakima Junior College, which ended .... to .... and tonight and tomorrow night they will play the Cheney Savages. In the first game the losers were far behind, 16-3, at half time. In the second half the Bellingham team showed their true Norsk spirit by out-scoring the victors by five points but the early odds had piled too high against them. Pederson led the attack in the last half and thus became the star of the game by scoring 13 markers. In the second game the Vikings gradually dropped behind and were never able to head the Wildcats. At half time the EUensburg quintet had the lead 32-13, and then scored 27 points to the "locals four in the last half. Erickson was the only loser to score heavily, making 8 points. The second contest proved slightly rough as far as the number' of fouls caUed. The two Bellingham guards, Thorsen and Pederson, both left the game with four personals. However, four of the winning combination were forced out via .this same route.

Every girl in school is invited to attend these hikes which are usually taken every Satxirday. The Fairhaveii Grizzlies swept the Whatcom Redskins. from their path last Tuesday, as they continued their march toward the goal of a season without a defeat. The" Whatcom gymnasium was filled to overflowing as a wild crowd saw the Southsiders give their host an 18 to 15 beating. . ' ' The game had the crowd in hysterics, with Fairhaven holding a slim lead up until within three minutes of the end of the contest, when Bliss scored a field goal to tie the score at 15 to 15. Haickel, Fairhaven forward, then stepped into the breach and scored a foul shot and field goal to put the game on ice for Fairhaven. Clen-denen, Whatcom forward, was high point man with ten markers. Haickel was next with nine. In the other class "A" games, Lynden defeated Mt. Baker 34 to 24 and Blaine beat Sumas-Nooksack 37 to 18. Both games were played on the winner's floors. —o P. E.

I The rural training schools are giving out 3 times a year, to the par- ;ents, a report - card emphasizing jhabits and application of students ;to the work in school. Miss Orpha iMcPhersoh, with the help of several teachers, worked out the plan for 'ithe cards at the beginning of the School year and has given the cards out this year for the first time.:;* "'• ' ' T h e cards report the habits in each of the subjects taken, and how the student rates in comparison with tus natural ability. For instance, under citizenship there are 8 points ^in which pupils are graded: 1. Defends on himself whenever possible; 2. Does his share in the group; 3. Consider the rights of others; 4. shows tolerance toward others; 5. Takes care of materials and school property; 6. Makes valuable use of his time; 7. Follows directions; 8. Furnishes his share of materials. Other subjects in which the student Is graded are: Reading, social science, language, music, industrial arts, fine arts,, spelling, arithmetic, writing, and health. Parents Co-operate The cards give the parents a fair basis on which tc* judge the children and in which lines they need the most careful watching. It helps the child too, to recognize in himself his worst faults and gives him a chance to overcome his difficulties, thus starting him in young to break bad habits and start good ones. Parents are co-operating with the teachers through these cards and are watching their children and helping them in all ways possible. The regular grade cards are issued every six weeks, as usual, and give information regarding the average of work performed by the student in his studies. — o SONG CONTEST DATE SET FOR FEBRUARY 28 'v.nfr.inued from Page One) school. 7.

MRPiiEYlLEGTED TO PROGRAM OFFICE Vera Porteous Gives Door-opener Discussion Concerning Citizenship " Utider'Riissia's Noble Experiment. For all its earnestness, the International Relations Club never can be dry; elements of the bizarre and romantic are always popping up in their serious discussions of far places and strange pefoples. The "Land of the Soviets", of which the I. R. C. is making a special study this quarter, is peculiarly productive of these elements* perhaps the more so because so little reliable information has. come out* of Russia in the past ten years that our generation may be said to have "grown up in ignorance" of the truly remarkable things that have been going on there. Russia Discussed The discussion Vera Porteous gave at the last meeting, concerning citizenship in the Soviet Republic, was a door-opener to an understanding of the novel manner in which affairs are conducted in Russia's noble experiment. Mrs. Goodenough gave the club a digest of a National Geographic article on Russia. Gertrude Ward spoke on the five-power naval conference. Phil Davis made a start on the tale of his trip to Louisiana, via Panama, Colombia, and Mexico and back by the Old Spanish Trail and the Pacific Highway. Mrs. Edna B. Finley was elected to perform the functions of chairman of the program committee. In spite of the international spirit this club has never bene very cosmopolitan, but from now on it is intended to make an effort to make it more so. o STUDENT TEACHER ILL Elsie Canfield, a special student teacher of this quarter, had to return to her home in Puyaliup, because of illness.
