WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Friday, July 29, 1932. MINS DATA FOR STUDY OF ACTIVITIES Two Hundred and Fifty-two Give Answers to Survey in Assembly Women's League Tea Next Thursday to Be Scene of Much Gaiety INFORMATION IS USEFUL Only two hundred and fifty-two students responded to the questionnaire on club activities that was prepared by the Inter-Club Council and distributed in assembly, Tuesday, July 19. Helpful information was obtained from this survey. Of the 252 who answered the questions, 148 are or have been members of a club and 84 have never belonged to a club. The number belonging to each club follows: W. A. A., 25; Dramatic, 25; Vanadis Bragi, 23; Alkisiah, 16; Philos, 13; International Relations, 19; Scholarship, 10; Pep, 12; W. Club, 10; Y. W. C. A., 9; Social Science, 9; Tri-C, 17; Parliamentary Law, Z-, and Choral, 4. The statistics show that W. A. A., Tri-C, Vanadis Bragi and International Relations have proved most beneficial in teaching. Other answers and questions from ' the survey follow: Which type of club do you consider of most: value? Answer—Literary, 155; Dramatic, 137; Social, 126; Musical, 68; Religious, 40; Economic, 43; Industrial, 39; Political, 52; Debate, 36; Pep, 28; Athletic, 82, and Parliamentary Law, 59. Question—Has your club participation in any way benefited you in community activities? Answer-^-Yes, 105; no, 43. Question—Have you had any need for parliamentary law? The Blue Room at Edens Hall will be the scene of much gaiety next Thursday afternoon when the Women's League entertains the women of the school at tea. Music and drama will be the high lights of the program. Each week tea and wafers are served in the Women's League Room. The girls have worked to make the teas enjoyable weekly gatherings and a means by which students could get better acquainted, and have succeeded well. For quite a while, however, they have planned to find and feature school talent and at last the ambition is about to be realized. Christine Albers, talented young pianist in school, has consented to give several numbers during the tea. At 3 o'clock a group of girls from the Drama Club, under Mr. Hoppe's direction, will present a short, clever skit entitled "The First White Woman." All the girls in the school are invited to attend the tea, which.prom-ises to be one of the most enjoyable Women's League affairs of the quarter. The hours are from 2 o'clock until 3:30.

CHIMP CHAMP CONGRATS YE PROF'S DIARY By Sanunie. We feel pretty low—about as droopy, in fact, as the skeleton in room 202—perhaps not quite as bony —but fully as droopy. Greater love—and all that sort of rot! You can call it love—I'll call it darned foolishness. A lady's husband told her she was too beautiful —and being too beautiful—too many of ye stronger sex glanced askance at her. The lady took a strong caustic and smeared it upon her too beautiful countenance! Result? The stronger sex will glance the other way for awhile! Hey! Iss there no yustice?

By coming to the Normal—and obtaining a seat in the rear of any of our classes on the day the grades are returned; they'll see numerous jars, any of which are gladly gotten rid of. August 8, 9, 10 and 11 have been selected for a series of lectures which Dr. Henry Neumann, author and lecturer, will give in the Normal school auditorium. Dr. Neumann will speak primarily concerning "Four Outstanding Recent Books." Willa S. Cather's "Shadows on the Rock," James Truslow Adams' "The Epic of America," Ole Rolvaag's "Their Father's God" and Van Wyck Brooks' "The Life of Emerson" will be reviewed in consecutive order at 8 p. m. beginning August 8. Two assemblies, one Monday at 11 o'clock and the other at the regular time on Tuesday, will be presented with Dr. Neumann as speaker. The lectures are to be free to the public. Has Written Books Dr. Neumann is the author of "Education for M o r a l Growth," "Drums of Morning," " M o d e rn Youth and Marriage," and his brochures consist of "Moral Values in Secondary Education" and "Teaching American Ideals Through Literature." "Moral Education in College Teaching" and "The Child—His Nature and His Needs" comprise chapters written by the famous author. Having graduated in 1900 from the Business Administration College in I New York City with a Phi 'Beta Kappa honor, the lecturer attended both Cornell and Columbia, where he obtained his doctor's degree. He then returned to the Business Administration College and taught education and English. Later he acted as instructor in moral education at the University of Wisconsin, after which he taught in Ohio State University and the University of California. The Brooklyn Society for Ethical Culture claimed him for a leader since 1911. Again, he acted as vice-president of the Lincoln Settlement for Colored People. Neumann's home is in Brooklyn, N. Y. -o :— It is something of a mental journey from "Camille in Roaring Camp'* to "Alison's House," especially with "Liliom" and "Cradle Song" as way stations. Yet this is the route which the audiences have taken this year with the Normal Drama Club under Mr. Hoppe's able direction, which always lifts the dramatic productions on this campus well out of the class of the amateur. Pulitzer Prize Winner "Alison's House," the 1931 Pulitzer prize play, is a unique and interesting play by Susan Glaspell. It is not obvious just how far the author intends to mirror the life of Emily Dickinson, .poet of the nineteenth century, who for a time was almost forgotten, when suddenly our postwar decade again became aware of her poetry and pronounced it great. At any rate, the play changes Emily Dickinson's environment from the cloistered New England college town of Amherst to an unnamed Iowa village on the banks of the Mississippi river. We are made to feel Chicago's cultural needs, not Boston's intellectual assurance. Main Character Dead If the meaning, or meanings, of "Alison's House" are somewhat obscure, that did not prevent the cast from portraying characters in whom we were very much interested. The real heroine of the play, Alison, never appears; she has been dead eighteen years.. Yet we feel her influence— even her presence—as did Elsa Stanhope, Eben and Father Stanhope. This in itself was an accomplishment and much praise is due Dorothy Fiala, Preston Wright and Mr. Hoppe, who played those parts. They made Alison as real to us as she was to them. Miss Fiala had the most difficult role, yet she interpreted it with feeling and understanding. fully made vivid. Leatha Is Humorous Vernon Leatha's callow college youth (Ted Stanhope) brought some very welcome humor into the play. College boys were not very numerous at the "turn of the century" .and probably there were no typical ones. Mr. and Mrs. Hodges (James Butler and Evelyn Swalling) also gave us an opportunity to laugh. They carried, their parts with such ease that we welcomed their reappearance even though the Stanhopes did not. The Yankee tang in James Butler's voice tickled our ears. The nice young reporter and aspiring poet, Richard Knowles (Roger Chapman) was so engaging that Recital and Lecture Will Be Presented In Next Assemblies (Continued on Page Three) o Louise Van Ogle Gives Review of Popular Opera Characters Well Portrayed Mr. Wright, as Eben, showed much intelligence in his acting, and especially in the way he spoke his lines. If he never lost himself completely in the part, still we sincerely sympathized with Eben's quandary and -well realized there was no humor in his remark, "If I didn't have to do anything for awhile, I could do something." Mr. Hoppe, as Father Stanhope, clearly made us feel the values that the nineteenth century held dear; family unity and family pride, dutiful performance of disagreeable duties, and a code of honor rigidly adhered to. His fear of the ruth-lessness of youth and the destructive forces of a coming age were skill- Mr. Ruckmick to Attend Columbia Industrial Classes Will Visit Foundry Congrats are in order!

The exact date has not been set definitely yet. Students will be given the opportunity, then, to see the metal poured into the molds on a larger scale than it is done here. One of the projects in junior high school industrial arts is to make a pattern and cast it in metal. Lead has been used in the past quarters, being cast in the form of paper weights, book ends and in some cases paper knives. Acting as a delegate to the International Y. M. C. A. organization in Detroit, Mr. Herbert Ruckmick, of the industrial arts department, will fly eastward in his "Chewie" during the latter part of August. He represents the local Y's Men's Club of Bellingham. Although the first part of the trip will be made as quickly as possible, Mr.' Ruckmick is deeply interested in making this into an industrial excursion. In Detroit, besides attending the convention, he plans to visit the Ford plant at River Rouge, and then go on to Akron where the Goodyear rubber plant and the airships will claim his attention. Chugging along, he will pass up the Great Lakes and travel to Buffalo. Some of his time will be spent visiting the boys' camp in the Adirondacks, where he taught; for eight years. During his year's leave of absence, he will attend Columbia University, where he will elect philosophy and psychology; By ETHEL PAGE The student body was entertained in Friday's assembly by Mrs. Van Ogle, of the music department of th Ueniversity of Washington. She gave in the form of a reading with musical illustrations a review of the popular opera, Schwaiida, the Bag-pipe Player by Weinberger. She presented the old folk story of the temptations and the adventures of Schwanda, the virtuoso bag-pipe player, with a subtle wit that was very entertaining, holding the interest of her audience. She played several of the song themes of the opera and several of Schwanda's dance tunes. She presented several of the clever musical ideas which Weinberger works out so aptly in his opera but we feel a certain regret in that she did not give us more of ---------- Northwest Viking - 1932 July 29 - Page 2 ---------- ^5^l!P#l ^ WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM.

Under a large painting of a scene on Chuckanut drive is the wording: Recreation—Industry— Normal School. On the side of the sign board a description of the Normal is briefly outlined. Standing as it does to the north of the city where visitors from Canada, and visitors from the south returning from Vancouver, may see it, the Normal school will undoubtedly profit from this sign board publicity. MORE P U B L I C I T Y for the Normal school will unquestionably be a good thing. With our decision to retain football as an intercollegiate sport we will have need of plenty of advertisment to bring players to our school and an audience to our games. If we are going to make football a semi-professional activity and a paying proposition it will take much publicity, and much effort on the part of the Associated Students and the Administration. This sign board advertising is a step in the right direction. B U T P U B L I C I T Y for the Normal school should have and does have a larger significance. The City of Bellingham has one of Washington's five large educational institutions. More than that this school is one of the outstanding schools of education in the United States, recognized nationally as a superior institution. Bellingham has never taken the initiative in pointing us out to her visitors nor even in giving us ample recognition in the community itself. If we take the lead, perhaps Bellingham will follow and support us and our activities as they deserve to be supported. Between Classes By P A T ALLAN A gentleman was committing suicide. Nearby stood a policeman, armed and capable. The gentleman was about to jump off a bridge. , But the policeman, nearby, armed, and capable, rose to the occasion and a bit of quick thinking. "Here!" he snarled, "what's the big idea?" "I," said the gentleman "was once a stock broker." The policeman stopped to reflect. Should he let him jump, or should he shoot him and make sure? He drew his gun. "Stop, or I'll shoot!" And the man stopped, but they were both killed in a wreck on the way to jail! Moral: If you are a stock broker and start to commit suicide, nothing can stop you. A Day $ | ; ^ ^ ^ By ROMA HENDERSON ,, Better than that is the story about the man who went to sleep in front of a mirror. He dreamed he lived his whole life, and at last, old, bearded and penniless, decided to kill himself. He had turned on the gas and was growing faint when he woke up and stared in the mirror. The shock killed him! But the queerest death of all is the death of the henpecking Mohammedan lady, just widowed, who stabbed herself so she could see that her husband didn't have too good a time with the houris in heaven. -y—•» u lltl According to the dean of men at a large Eastern school, between 30 and 50 per cent of the male students at American colleges are doing part time work outside school hours to help themselves through.

H O P P E again scores with an excellent performance. The Drama Club is one organization the school can be proud of. Each quarter of the school year the Drama Club under the direction of Mr. Hoppe presents a play of outstanding merit and each time the play is presented in a creditable manner. The work of the Drama Club might well serve as a model for the founding of other organizations. o The big recreation event of the summer quarter has been completed. Mount Baker has been scaled. To the recreation committee, all hail, for planning such enterprising and successful trips. o ,- WE WISH to thank the administration for responding to a recent editorial in the Viking and checking upon the lighting of the library.

Many excellent suggestions for the stimulation of club life in this school were received. Some suggestions were free Klipsun pictures for clubs; more and better publicity, both in assemblies and paper; credit for outstanding achievement in clubs; more inter-club co-operation; better qualified leaders in clubs; elimination of club tryouts; dropping of inactive members; activities for summer students as well as regular students, and making it necessary to join at least two clubs and attend them regularly. Many students thought that more co-operation could be fostered by better attendance of club members at the meetings. Compulsory attendance of club members was favored. "ALISON'S HOUSE" IS REVIEWED BY CRITIC (Continued from Page One) To stimulate an Interest in the forthcoming national election a group of Normal students have formed a Roosevelt - for - President Club. At the organization meeting held last Tuesday, Tom Durham was elected president. Other officers elected were Irene Mars and Wilbur Farmer, vice-presidents; Leslie Ab-shire, secretary, and Charles Gerold, treasurer. It was decided that the club would not charge dues or other fees, but would endeavor to raise the finances through club dances or similar activity. Mr. Edward J. Arntzen spoke to the club on the future and promise such an organization holds. His talk was very enlightening. He very ably discussed the economic barrier of the present tariff. All men and women of this school between the ages of 21 and 30 are invited to attend. "It makes no difference what party or political convictions you may now have," says Tom Durham, "you are welcome to study our organization." The club has not taken a definite platform for local politics and agreed that it would not until after the primaries. The next meeting will be held in the Mount Baker Tea Room, next to the theater, on Tuesday, August 2, at 7:30 o'clock. o The girls of El Nido Lodge, accompanied by their house mother, Mrs. Downs, spent Sunday cruising among the islands of Puget Sound. Captain Garland's boat was used for the trip. even though one stood ready to condemn the publicity he represented, one was glad when he "wooed and won"—to use a phrase of the mauve decade—Ann Leslie (Christine Albers), who was regarded as more than just a stenographer. In fact, she was thought -of as one of the family by all save Louise Stanhope, Eben's wife. Louise voices vehemently all the platitudes of respectability. Ethel Page was natural and convincing as Louise. Gertrude Hancamp, as Miss Agatha Stanhope, and Margaret Owen, as Jennie, were, in very fact, old guardians of old things and old ways. Meaning of Alison's House What was fashionable because quaint or ugly; what was much to be condemned, finally is condoned, or forgiven and forgotten; what was held guarded and held sacred, is seized and carelessly thrown to the mercy of the four winds. Is this the meaning of "Alison's House"? Or shall we accept the caricature of Eben and Richard Knowles that there is a debt to art, and hunger for art of Chicago's populace must be satisfied at the cost of Father Stanhope's (and Louise's) sense of family obligations and the fitness of things? Or do we agree with Elsa that Alison's understanding of love's imperious demands on a woman must be reiterated to a censorious world? Maybe one should say with a recent newspaper critic, "Why all this pother about a few old love letters?" To which a witty woman replied, "There has to be a pother about something."

Some of the cash customers will believe nothing else than an eclipse has happened when these two dusky runners come. dashing down the home stretch. Anyway, some of the boys will begin to think that day has turned to night. See where Connie Mack, the elongated manager of the Philadelphia Athletics, has threatened to disband his collection of pennant winning ball tossers at the end of this current season if they don't come through with another pennant. Well, fourteen' years was quite a spell to wait for a winner after he disbanded his 1914 championship outfit, and if Mr. McGillicuddy (Connie Mack) decides to do that little thing again, it's a 10-to-l bet that he will be past the century mark before Philadelphia sees another world series. It seems as though the only players he is inclined to keep are Jimmy Foxx, the league-leading home run swatter, and Mickey Cochrane, the American League's best catcher, until Pepper Martin stole everything but his socks in the last world series. Scoring Wilson from second with a smart single through pitcher's box, Glenn Rockey, Gobbler leaguer, proved himself the hero of the day when his team dropped Rhodes' Rummies, 9-8, last week. Rockey's timely hit capped a three-run last-inning rally by the Gobblers of Gable. Rummies Lead Up until the last of the seventh, the Rummies held the game well in hand and almost had a victory cinched at that point with a two-run lead. However, homers by Gaasland and Siler in quick succession, a double by Wilson and Rockey's single spelled defeat for the downtrodden Rummies. Homers Plentiful The game was marked with three home runs. Adkinson, loaned to the Rummies, boomed out a four-bagger with two aboard.

Bert's Even though the Seattle Indians are riding in the second division of Coast League standings, it isn't Freddie Muller's fault. The young second sacker smashed out his twenty- eighth home run Wednesday night to further his lead in the home run department. Nothing less, than an earthquake can keep Muller out of tthe majors next year if he keeps up the sensational hitting the rest of the season, although he is a little weak in the fielding department. But what the majors want is players that can hit 'em a mile even though they have to keep straw in their hats to protect their heads from fly balls. i / 2WITTS N O W L E A D I NG I N T R A M U R A L BASEBALL "Pop" Gunn's lung tester is the center of interest at the P.

Suffering a setback in their second, league, following a successful season, Gallanger's Rats played the stepping-stone role for Leatha's Lilacs last week to the merry tune of 8-3.

Saw where Eddie Macomber, the handy Andy of "Pop" Gunn's baseball team last spring, did a fairly good job of chucking the Weyerhauser ball club to a victory" over another city league team. Macomber would be a welcome addition to any ball team—he was one utility man that could catch, play infield and outfield all in one afternoon and do a fairly good job of each. / / any of you soft ball fans want to see some powerful swatting just travel out to any of the local mush ball games. Cable, the Cobbler manager, has collected as fine a bunch of hitters as anyone would wish to see. Led by Wilson and flanked by Jim McCleery, the outfield possesses as much power as any outfield, in the league. With Siler, Roul and the 205 -pound [first baseman, Gaasland, and possibly Hugh McCleery holding down : positions in the infield, it's going to be tough on any pitcher who takes it unto himself to try and tame this gang of stick wielders. Hugh Mc- : Cleery is only a possibility as he has just finished a sojourn in the pest house and may not elect to play any soft ball this year. But at any rate it wouldn't be a bad idea for the opposing teams in the league to supply their outfielders with bicycles. O. K, KALAMAf l'M'- In Wednesday night's play hour game, Stoddard's Clan outslugged Jim McCleery's Muckers in a 12-to-8 slugfest. Cy Boulton, Stoddard's starting chucker, had too much on the ball and had the Muckers eating out of his hand-all afternoon, save for a blow now and then. McMackin Homes Going into the fourth inning with a 4-to-l lead and two men on the sacks, McMackin crashed out a homer for the Clan, putting them into a lead that was never overcome by the Muckers. Gable, throwing for the Muckers, was in trouble most every inning PPPPP
