Part In .Conference At Madison, Wisconsin Hats off to various school offi-cials, both student and otherwise, who in the last year have considerably changed the debt situation. Several of the departments have "been taken "out of the fire and into the kettle", while other debts have been materially reduced. —W. S. N. S.——r And not to show any partiality, - but everyone likes to ..brag about that which is closest to "home", we compliment our present Business Manager. In a little longer than three quarters, he has changed the thousand and some odd dollar debt t o three hundred and forty-two dollars on the other side of the ledger. W. S. N. S. Quite often outsiders play on the local tennis courts. As long as there is room, no harm is done, but Normal students waiting to get on have a perfect right to ask any others to ..^vacate immediately. W. S. N. S. Dr. Harry V. Masters, of the Research Department, while doing graduate work at Iowa, worked with another person on a spelling project... They., found., approximately 450,000,000 ways of spelling the word "circumference." Each iof these words it can be pronounced phonetically correct. Hence, there is no reason for misspelling that -word .from now on. W. S. N. S. — We just finished browsing through .an interesting pamphlet entitled "What the Colleges Are Doing'... It i s published by Ginn and Company, and contains various articles on college, picked at random. Two were particularly interesting to us. W. S. N. S. The first told of the writer having •over a thousand acquaintances. Out of these a dozen were happy, and over half of the happy ones had Jiever gone as far as high school. In , other words, education to him does not bring happiness. —W. S. N. S. The other gave "Ten Marks of an Educated Man", as follows: He keeps his mind open on all questions until the evidence is in. He listens to the man he knows. He never laughs at new iedas. He cross-examines his day-dreams. He knows his strong point and plays it. He knows the value of good habits and how to form them. He knows when not to think and when to call in the expert to think for him. You can't sell him magic. He lives the forward, outward looking life. He cultivates a love of the beautiful. W. S. N. S . - . ' I n a letter published this week, an Easterner calls attention to the condition of our lawn and the absence of "Keep Off Grass" signs. We have heard from many sources that, although much is said regarding the negligence of Normalites, still the walking on the grass is comparatively minus. •— o- NEW CASH1 SYSTEM PROVES SUCCESSFUL The new ruling at the cafeteria which bans charge accounts has proven a success. Beginning Monday, the first day of the spring quarter, the system of "cash only" was established. This was found necessary because of the time expended in keeping books for the many small amounts charged. Miss Countryman reports that there has been no decrease in the number of students lunching at the cafeteria, and that .not one has asked for a charge since the ruling, went into effect. She considers this a commendable attitude of co-operation on the part of • the student ••.body..-. .,'"•."' -.:',';•-iThe. staff of the cafeteria workers 'will remain the same%as last quarter, with the addition of Virginia i^Black;: who is takmgCthe place of ^Eiose ;Baskett. Pres. C. H. Fisher left for the East this week to take part in a conference of the faculties of the Wisconsin State Teachers College. This conference will be held at Madison, Wisconsin, on April 21 and 22. Thisf conference is held once in two years and includes all the teachers of the ten teacher-training institutions in the state. President Fisher will meet with the presidents of the teachers' colleges for a discussion of administrative problems. He will also meet with librarians on the functions of a library in teacher training institutions. At the general session of all the members of the conference, President Fisher is on the program to discuss the subject: "The Reconstruction of Curricula in Teacher Training Institutions with a Generous Provision for a Liberal Education, Especially in the Early Years." o _ F, MEN'S ORGANIZATION IN OBTAINING ROOM Club Room Becomes a Reality By Faculty's Unanimous Vote At Tuesday's Special Meeting. FURNITURE INCLUDED Formal Dedication To Take Place Monday, at 13:30, Dean Marquis Acting As Master of Ceremonies. SEATTLE MUSICIANS TO PLAY TUESDAY DURING ASSEMBLY Alice Williams Sherman, Elizabeth Reeves, and Hazel Hammer Hill Members of Widely-Known Trio. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Tuesday morning, April 22, the regular assembly hour will be devoted to a musical program by the Musical Artist Trio of Seattle. This trio is composed of well known musicians who have received nationwide recognition for their ability as ensemble artists. Alice Williams Sherman, violinist, is a favorite with audiences wherever she appears. Elizabeth Reeves, .violoncellist, is an artist pupil of George Kirschner, Hazel Hammer Hill, pianist, is widely , known throughout the Northwest as a pianist and teacher. The trio comes highly recommended, and as their repertoire includes selections from the classics and the modern composers, as well as shorter compositions, the program should please the entire audience. No longer will the men of the school have to wander around like the man without a country, nor will they have to be bothered with women listening in on their conversations, nor will they have to lean against the walls or hit for one of the nearby lunch abodes for privacy, for they now have a room all their own. After seeking a room since early last quarter, the Men's Club sent a committeee to confer with President Fisher in regards to getting a room. At last Tuesday's Faculty meeting President Fisher brought up the question. It was decided that the Faculty room just across from the registrar's office, or otherwise designated as Room 112, should be given to the men. On Tuesday of next week at 12:30, there will be held in the main hall, the dedication ceremonies of the Club Room. Dean Marquis will be the speaker of the hour and music v/ill be furnished by the Pep Club band. All students are invited to attend. "As this is an event of the hour for the men," Charles Dewey, president of the Men's Club, says, "I wish to extend to those who made this possible, the gratitude and co-operation of the men's organization." LEAGUE ELECTION HELD THIS MORNING Interest in Election Slow to Develop, Gained Momentum As Time for Balloting Arrived. Thirty-Eight Students Feel Committee's Axe Thirty-eight students felt a pang of regret this week as the sharp' axe of the Attendance Committee cut deeply into their meagre store of credits. Thirty-one unfortunates were cut one credit; six were cut two credits, and one poor student lost three hours when his record came under the^committee's blade. These people were held victims of their own conduct and were punished by the law of the school which might to be said to state, "For fifteen absences from all classes the credit supply of a student will have sliced from it one- hour of credit, etc." According to committee mem-4 bers, the guillotine will be rolled out and set up again next quarter. -—:—•—o- —" MAD AUTO RUNS WILD; DENTS TEACHER'S CAR A little excitement was added to the atmosphere last Sunday evening when a restless Dodge car, belonging to a James Moody, and anchored i n f front o f Ragan Hall, slipped from its moorings and aimlessly drifted down the hill. It struck a reef in the form of Miss Karigley's Star car, which was at the time parked in front of Buss-ing's. Both cars were damaged, Miss Kangley's car getting the worse treatment. As both of the cars were unoccupied, no one was hurt. The accident called to mind the well-remembered one of several years back when Milton Field, a Normal student; was permanently injured by a runaway auto. Both of the accidents occurred in the same locality.;'..;' , \ V "';/;-; gt;;••;:? [• ;,!;': WOMEN'S LEAGUE ELECTION The Women's League election, which was to be held this morning has excited interest among the girls of the school, during the latter part of the week, although the nominations were slow in being made. Those whose names were certain of appearing on the ballots were Jenny Berg, nominated for president; Louise Smith and Lovia Wei-ger, for vice-president; Aileen Hurl-burt and Marion Marchand for secretary, and Esther Nordquist for treasurer. o_ ' DEBATE SCHEDULED Lyle Summers and Ray Craft will meet the University of Washington freshman debate team in an exhibition debate before Everett High school on April 25.

RARE SCARECROW FOR JAYWALKERS A scientific expedition composed presumably of Normal students, left the campus early Tuesday evening in search of a rare specimen of 'bird. They, with the aid of a little salt, were able to cage this strange animal. It falls under the owl classification, but is white in color.' The personnel of the.expedition realize the policing qualities of this strange winged object, and likewise realized the trouble the grounds committee is having with "jaywalkers." Consequently, they turned it loose on the lawn between Edens Hall and the Administration Building.

Once again the school has felt the hush just after the voting. W e hope that the best person received the most votes this morning. And jhat those who join the club of defeated candidates won't feel embarrassed for it is a compliment even to be placed on the ballot. It shows that the per-son is somewhat outstanding and that he has friends pulling for him Once again we willsee the election fade away, but the elected will remain before the eyes of the school for some time to com. , LYLE SUMMERS The student body will be fortunate if it succeeds this morning m elevating to the position of student body president a student who will serve as faithfully and as well as has Lyle Summers, during the past four quarters. .. Mr. Summers, during his tenure of office, has been unusually successful in interpreting the opinion of the student body, and m giving the people of the school the kind of an administration which they expected of The handling of student affairs and the working out of difficulties which arise during the school year requires more patience and ability than may be apparent, and Mr. Summers should be congratulated on the straightforward, efficient manner in which his office has been executed. ——o— — V I K I N G SCOOPED The • Northwest Viking was scooped this week by no less a newspaper than the Bellingham Herald. A Herald representative, right under the noses of our Viking reporters, learned the story of "Laddie Boy's Faithfulness," and made an excellent feature story out of it. The Herald was kind enough, however, to allow us to use their cut. We appreciate the courtesy of the Herald in allowing us^ to use material of this kind. We trust, however, that the next "scoop" that is made will be he other way around. o ^ C A F E T E R I A BREAKFASTS A student opinion under the signature of J. W. brought up an issue last week which should receive the consideration of all of the people who take their meals at Edens Hall. N A n investigation reveals that between one-third and one-half of the people who eat at the school dormitory pay four dollars a month for the privilege of checking "Breakfast, Edens Hall" on the registration slip, which is necessary, by the way, if one is to be enrolled as a student in good standing. Whereas from twenty-four to twenty-five tables are set for the noon and evening meals, only thirteen or fourteen are required to accommodate the breakfasting students. The inference, obviously, is that a large minority of the dormitory boarders either go without breakfast or buy their morning meal at one of the local lunch counters. As pointed out in J. W.'s article, the main objection to breakfast at the dormitory is this, that the hour of serving, 7:15, "is too early for many people who do not have 8 o'clock classes, and to whom the dormitory is not easily accessible. J. W. proposes that breakfast be served in cafeteria style from 7:15 to 8:30. The Viking believes that Normal students, to enjoy good health, Well, here y'are, studes. Oy, yoy! 'tis a miserable night; As we scribble this the wind hisses round the corner in careless, dismal sighs, and the rain drips from the eaves in dreamy monotony. A miserable night, and it matches our mood exactly, but then we should worry. It'd certainly be a tired old world if the sun shone all the time; and also, the thought of a life that is nothing but happiness from beginning to end is, to us, almost tragic in its suggestion of mental poverty. * » * GREAT MINDS RUN IN" THE SAME CHANNELS—AS DO SMALL ONES. *. * * POME (Unfinished) leaves are sprouting fast and thick Upon the trees.

QUOTATION '•Well, just from lookin' around and observing things, I've come to the conclusion that what I have often heard the women say is right. These men are the bunk! I have absolutely no use for 'em! My opinion of men is pretty darn low! If I was a woman, now, I would ignore me altogether, I would have nathin' or even less to do with 'em.

Incidentally; The Viking wishes to thank our unknown friend, Mrs. S B . , for her interest in Normal. Editor, Northwest*Viking, The Normal: . . I wonder if it would interest you to know how an Easterner admires your grounds? That you have had so' much life there all winter is amazing to us who have seen bare, bleak campuses in January. That your lawn is green and soft and smooth the year 'round without little signs saying "Keep Off the Grass," is another surprise. I've climbed that hill many a time just to see whether I might not surprise some such sign around somewhere. But no! Either you have a wonderful gardener that can repair damage as fast as it occurs, or else you have a still more wonderful student body that makes "please keep to the walks' signs unnecessary. I'd like to know the secret of your lawn's perfection. Many an' Eastern gardener tears his hair, by night, uses strong language by day, and still doesn't have a nice lawn the year round. I have talked with your head gardener— the one who wears Ms hat turned up in front.-Is not that he?— There is a white-flowered bush between the Normal building and the should eat a light breakfast every morning, and that an arrangement library that has blossomed out this should be made so that students would not have to buy one meal a day ' w e e k w i t h f i v e s m a U w n i t e baSs gt; off the campus with money needed for other things. It believes that a tied to the branches. This is the re-arrangement of the kitchen schedule could be made to take care of the service and the necessary cleaning up and dishwashing, and a change in the breakfast menu be made if it is necessary to adapt it to cafeteria service. This could no doubt be done without inconveniencing the kitchen crew, or throwing any of the waitresses out of employment. In fairness to the people who must pay for three meals a day whether they eat them or not, this change should be made, and it would no doubt react very favorably in terms of student economy, and in student efficiency in the 10 and I 1 o'clock classes. EL NIDO HOUSE Thelma Beard entertained with a luncheon last Wednesday, in honor of Mrs. Webster. Coressa Shull was the dinner guest of Martha Rumbaugh, Mildred Deekerand Evelyn Swalling, Sunday.

Boddington, a former graduate from here has been visiting Mrs. Collett for a few days. Her home is on Orcas island. v Margaret Smith, who' attended school, last quarter, visited Monday. Mrs. Collett entertained with a dinner at the Willows in honor of Mrs. J. Yoes. Her guests were Miss Adele Jones, Mrs. More, and Mrs. Yqes. ' y ';;, A group of the girls from Collett court spent Sunday out at the beginning of a scientific experiment which, according to Miss Piatt, will prove a valuable addition to the study of botany. The common name of the plant is flowering currant, and this' bush is the only one known to be white, others all having red flowers. The experiment is being conducted by Miss Piatt and the botany class to find whether the white plant is a new .variety or merely a freak. The bags are used to prevent the bees from cross-pollinating the flowers not already budded with the red flowering currant just around the corner. When the flower bags are budded, they will be self pollinated, tagged, and the seeds gathered in the fall. After a wait of several years for the seeds to be planted, to grow and blossom, t h e ' investigators expect to be rewarded in discovering by the color of the new blossom whether or not our white flowering currant bush is a freak.

There were many ;great offensive machines featuring a score of brilliant shooters.

The Viking hopes for a successful baseball season this year seems • t o depend a great deal on the ability of the men to hit the old apple rather than to check the offensive play of the team. The batting of some.of the players seems to be noteworthy even at this early date. Pitching is again the weakest position on the squad. Several men have been working out for the position. The coach is spending a lot of time with them and believes that it is possible to have a good battery by the time the season gets underway. _ _o For the first time in years the Frosh did it! The result of the in-terclass track meet was much to our disappointment in favor of t he Frosh, but I think it would have "been a much different story if only points had been given for the first three places instead of the first five. The Sophomores copped more first places than the Frosh, but the. Frosh had so many entrants that the third, fourth and fifth places soon totaled up to a huge score and offset the firsts and seconds garnered by the Sophomores. We admit our defeat though and congratulate the Frosh on their victory and hope they repeat it in the year 1931. PRES. FISHER PITCHES Intramural baseball was officially opened last Wednesday afternoon, when President Fisher and Sam Carver acting as the battery, struck the first batter out one, two, three, just like that. The batter was none other than our own Dean Bever. o U. OF W. DUPLICATES FEAT OF OLD Inter-collegiate crew racing commenced last week when the University of Washington and University of California crews met on the Seattle estuary. The Washington rowing fleet duplicated its feat of 1926 to nose out victory in the three-mile varsity race and easily win t he Junior varsity and Freshman events from the California Bears. It was t he first victory of the varsity for four years. Prom the- indications Washington will be well represented at the national meet this year. It seems like days of old for Washington to win crew races. ,-• o •The Vikings varsity horsehide maulers seem to be on their way to a successful season. With a fairly good infield, a group of hard hitting outfielders and about two more weeks of intensive training the Vikings will be in quest of a champion- *" ship title. — lt;*— Helen Purcell was confined to the Isolation Hospital last week with a bad case of sore throat. ' After training in the first day of the Interclass track meet, the Frosh came back Friday to grab most of the points and defeat the Sophomores 100 to 78VS. At t he end of Thursday's events the Sophs had a 7-point vlead, but in their favorite events, the following day, the Freshmen had little trouble in forging ahead. Only in the 100-yard dash and the high jump did the upper classmen have an advantage, while the Frosh took large numbers of points in the 440, the 880, the javelin, and t he hurdles. Times and distances for the events were comparatively slow, with past Normal records, and considerable improvement will have to be shown. Quick's time in the 88-yard run was fair, as was Falkner's in the 440. Cole, with 21 points, and Dixon with 19, were high-point men of the meet Tomorrow the Vikings will engage in a meet with'' Whatcom High school, and possibly with the Mount Vernon Junior college. The High, school boys have a .strong squad and will furnish the Vikings with plenty of opposition. Summary The summary for the meet was as follows: 100-yard dash—Dixon (S), Emory (F), Jackson (S); time, 11:1. - lOOryard dash—Cole (S), Falkner (F), Gunn (S); time, 11. 220-yard dash—Cole (S), Duyff (F), Stearns (F), Jackson (S); time 25 seconds. 44-yard dash—Falkner (F), Quick (F), Lovegren (F), Stearns (F), Hansen (S); time, 57.6. 880-yard run—Quick (F), Lovegren (F), Hanson (S), Abshire (S), Eacrett (F); time, 2:16.

Herrman, of the Department of Agriculture of the University of Washington, was a speaker before the student body Tuesday morning, April 15. His appearance here was sponsored by the Washington chapter of the American Society of Architects. The subject of Professor Herr-man's discussion concerned achitect-ural appreciation. He gave a brief resume of the history of architecture, stating that it started probably about 5,000 B. C. somewhere in Egypt. "Architecture is crystallized history," the speaker declared. He also stated that the climate of a country, its social conditions, and its militaristic attitude, were reflected in its architecture. _ o FILM IS SHOWN IN TRAINING ASSEMBLY Training School to Take Active Part In Tulip Festival Parade— To Be Four Classes of Floats. The Trainng School assembly Friday morning was devoted to a motion picture film of the life of the toad. The film gave the complete cycle of the ordinary garden variety of toad, and also the tree toad. Many interesting glimpses into the intimate life of the toad were given, and also some fascinating pictures of tadpoles. After seeing this film, showing the harmless existence of these small animals and the positive aid Book-Mending Exhibit and Picture Display LIBRARY The exhibit in the lower hail of the Library is intended to show how material may be accumulated and cared for in a library or one's personal collection. Books have a habit of becoming shabby. It is quite possible to mend them so that they may be used for a long time if one knows how to buy the proper material and how to use it. Students have been given the opportunity this year to learn how to do various kinds of mending and the results, have been most satisfactory. Miss George, head of the Cataloging department, has generously given many hours of instruction each week to students. In return for this instruction, the students have donated a great deal of work which is very valuable to the Library. Pamphlets are somewhat of a problem to everyone. Some of the most useful and up-to-date information is published in pamphlet form and much of it is well-worth pre* serving in a permanent collection. There are many inexpensive ways to bind pamphlet material and several such binders are shown in the exhibit. They are well worth studying. A picture collection is very useful to a teacher—also to the general public. A valuable collection may be built up by anyone who has foresight and imagination. Practically all of the pictures in the exhibit were cut from magazines and advertisements. The mounts are not expensive. Eventually the mounted pictures will be filed under subject and loaned for short periods of time. The pictures too small to be mounted .can be used in scrapbooks. Miss George suggests making a list of subjects that will be useful in your teaching or other, work. Then as you get pictures illustrating these subjects, put them into labeled envelopes. When you have a sufficient number on any subject mount them in the scrapbook. The books shown in the exhibit cost only ten cents each. which they render us in the destruction of insects, we cannot but have some degree of respect for them, and grant that they have a right to live. With the news that there is to be a Tulip Festival after all this year, the Training school received instructions concerning the Juvenile parade, in which they are expected to take an active part. Committees are to be formed and plans will soon be on foot to make a creditable exhibition of the floats made by members of the Training school. There are to be four classes of floats—the Small Float, the Bir cycle Division, the Comic Division, arid the Pet Division, and some most interesting and valuable prizes amounting to $300 are to be awarded the best entries.

A man is only happy in subordination to his work. A dog finds his only joy in subordination to a man. On any day one may see right on our Normal campus one of the happiest dogs in the world. Laddie Boy is his name, and for nearly four years he has played the part of faithful' servant to George Dack, Normal head gardener. On over 1,200 days he has carried a warm noonday lunch four blocks to find Dack and give it to him. That he may not be molested by other dogs, some member of the family usually accompanies Laddie Boy on his trip. On only one day has he failed his duty. Nothing definite is known about his reasons for this failure, George Dack and Laddie Boy but there are certain vague rumors of. "romance," "springtime," "love," etc., connected with- it. As Laddie Boy is faithful in the bringing of the lunch, so is he faithful in all things. When the Dack family goes to the beach, he is the self-appointed life-guard for the children. When Dack reaches home after his day's work, Laddie Boy brings his slippers and the evening papers at a mere word from him. Day and night, year in and year out, he is a faithful, worshiping servant. And he is happy! If you doubt it, look him over carefully at your next opportunity and try to pick out signs of gloom, despondency, or patient suffering in his attitude. Just try! . - Word has been received that Miss Clara Reynolds, who is now enrolled in an art course at the University of Washington, has had the honor of having a number of her art works placed on exhibition.
