Past-^-: Six years' struggle against odds in.grade school, coping with inefficient teaching; three years of boisterous hilarity in a Junior high school, learning nothing academic, maturing rapidly: three years of hyper-boredom in a high school, den .' ing enough school work to keep from flunking, disliking the teachers, being a "beeg-shot." - Present—: A metamorphosis trying to absorb a bombardment of ideas; a few moments relaxation, the realization that perhaps we may have been wrong about things; interesting new ideas—interesting new people. v Future—: Routine of teaching and pleasant week-ends, summers of drudgery at school, annoyance at the childishness of the "school kids"; siuffing work, dreaming about promotion, kicking about low salaries. Or—: Achievement—the uphill grade to the sunshine, new ideas, hew thoughts, work made happy work, creation of citizens, fostering of genius, pleasant contacts, growth, expansion.

REFUSES TO CUT EDUCATION '?: Flat refusal to comply with demands to cut costs of education in the Province of British Columbia was expressed by Mr. Joshua Hinch-liffe, minister of education. Refusal followed the demands of a business men's committee to economize in education at any cost. Mr. Hinchliffe stated that the government would noteridanger the child's; future by any economy program in education. He declared that educa-tio should not be considered 'on a business basis since the government is not endeavoring to make a prof it out of it. The profits of education, he declared further, are reaped in an educated citizenry and'to curtail efforts to this end would be an abandonment of one of the vital functions of government. He also siated; that the proposal to have; parents.: of school children pay half or iiiy part of the cost of education is absolutely unfair as it wotild themselves.

Normal Presents One-Act Play for KVOSPrograiti Preston Wright will be the master of ceremonies when the Normal school goes on the air tonight with its first program, "The Valiant", a one-act play, is the first offering and Mr. John Churchill, program manager of the station has announced that he hopes to have faculty members give short talks on selected subjects during the coming year, in addition to presentations of student effort. Tentative plans have been made with Robert Becken to offer an all singing program in the near future. ."V''.. r O • — LENGTH ON FRIDAY Student Tickets Apportioned Board Meeting Monday at Athletics are to have two dollars and seventy-five cents, lectures and entertainments, one dollar and seventy- five cents, Viking sixty cents, and Social life, ninety cents, of the Student activity ticket for the Fall budget. This apportionment was made at the regular meeting of the Board of Control held last Monday October 24. Arrangements were also made, at a special meeting oh Wednesday to hold rec hour in the evening from 8 to 11 p. m.j due to the fact that the St. Martins football game will be on Friday afternoon. It was decided that no guest tickets are to be given. Refreshments will be ser-? ved during the course of the evening. Harriet Rickerson was appointed chairman of the Fall Board of Control banquet, which is to be held November 30. •- ^ o-^ Drama Club Will Present Pulitzer Play in November How long may the dead live? Alison Stanhope's influence on her family, 18 years after her death, forms the theme of Susan Glaspell's Pulitzer prize play, "Alison's House", to be presented by the Drama club, Nov. 10 and 11. It is an absorbing study of moods, this play. Miss Glaspell has created just the right touch in dealing with a delicate situation. With character delineation as her tool she makes us constantly aware of Alison's presence; The characters actually appearing are principally Alison's family.- They are engaged in dismantling the home, where she lived arid loved. The time is the last day of her century. •'. Mr. Victor H. Hoppe, head of the Speech department; will carry the leading role in the Dfama club production, while in his supporting cast appear such artists as: Dorothy Fiala,. Preston Wright, Vernon Lea-tha, Christine Alters, Ethel Page, Louise Lawrence;' Mary Evich, Roger Chapman, Helen Jecklin, and James Butler. •;•'--. \v gt;y"-.''; V ^ •'" "'":. o . ' • • - / .

One of the midst popular groups of colored singers in the world today, the tJtica Jubilee Singers, from the TJtica Institute in Mississippi, will entertain-"in Tuesday's assembly. According to advance reports, these singers are unique in the world of musical art. They shun attempts to be "arty", retaining all native freshness, the striking rhythm, abandon, and deep feeling so characteristic of negro songs when sung in their native haunts. The blending of the singers' voices and their closeness and beauty of harmony is rare. Unheard of in 1926 Up to six years ago these now famous negroes were "only another group of jubilee singers", in 1926, following the custom of their school, they went out to sing and by singing to advertise the institute. In the qourse of their travels they came to New York City and broadcast from studio WEAF of what is now the National Broadcasting company! So unusual was the fan mail response that they were invited to return again and were eventually offered an exclusive contract by the N. B. C. Popularity is Great They have gone far since then. For three consecutive years they sang, weekly over N. B. C. They have participated in two international broadcasts and have performed from fifteen European studios. Victor records them exclusively and they have made a "talkie short" for Vitaphone and Columbia. The New York Telegram both times selected them for its Ail-American broadcast as the country's foremost negro singers. __ o— Soph Committee Makes Big Plans For Quarter Hop Deep, dark mystery! "We shall not tell" seems to be the slogan adopted by the committee of the Sophomore party concerning the plans for the class hop which will be held in the big gym, November 5. June Welch, general chairman, announced that the work is in full swing and that the committees are loboring to make it the best party of the year. Bill Fisher, Dorothy Fiala, and the various.members of their committee are deep in the very secret business of decorating the big, gym. Harriet Rickerson promises something different hi the way of refreshments and Naomi Watson is expected to have something good for the intermission: numbers.

After dropping a heart-breaker to P. L. C. two weeks ago the Normal mentors have worked hard and long with their proteges and are pointing for the" game this afternoon with St. Martins College. If the Vikings take this tussle it will make their season for them. Anyone will grant us that. But if they are defeated today it will be a tough old battle to break into the win column the remainder of the season. v It is therefore doubly imperative that you turn out for this gamy*.- Classes are to be excused after 2 o'clock.

Considerable talk was made concerning this sub-last spring quarter but plans did not materialize. At the present time Mr. Hoppe, of the Speech department, has volunteered to back the project and the first program will be presented this evening from 9:30 to 10:00 o'clock. : ''The Valiant", featuring several Normal dramatic artists, will occupy the air at that time. IT IS JUST THIS SORT of advertising that the Normal school needs to present to make Bellingham "Normal conscious". We do not have to advertise in terms of the common phrase, but we do have to make the towns people realize that we have a live-wire, progrssive teacher training college here in Bellingham. . THESE BROADCASTS WILL provide an excellent opportunity for the various departments and clubs of the school to exhibit their abilities to the country at large. Rec Hour will convene at 8 and close at 11 this evening, but do attempt to hear this initial all-Normal broadcast from 8 to 8:45, over K-V-O-S.

He wanted toknpw tiie thrill of feeling his heart pumping new young life through a restless body. ~ ; r. He wanted to live—but the war, ah, yes/the war. He was a poet—a musician—a painter—above all, a lover. But the war, nothing but the war. Beauty crucified on the cross of death—love spread-eagled on the mast of hate—tender hearts scourged by merciless ambition—brother-love drowned in selfish muck. That is war; that is more than war—it is this business of living. Money was not the little tin god/he looked to for salvation, nor was business success the mother who gave him comfort and consolation. Rather, he found life fuller and more meaningful living for beauty and not for food. People called him a dream-ex1, branded him a failure because he saw beyond the horizon. But he found himself in the midst of war and suddenly realized that despite the blood rising in his body it was no time to rejoice. He had no choice but to fight as others fought, though the attempt was pathetically unnatural because the fire of his soul was stifled almost before it was kindled. H ALLELUJAH! OMECOMING ONCE AGAIN THAT GALA day of days for Normal students is approaching. Homecoming —the word itself breathing of spirit, fun, excitement, old friends and a grand get-together. . "CURLY" GROSS HAS BEEN selected to handle the annual affair for us this season. His plans have been formulated, committees selected and all is on by the present students is its definition. Starting Fri- Homecoming. A BIG DAY FOR" THE GRADS sponsored by the present students is its definition. Starting Friday evening with a serpentine march;^ giant bonfire built by the frosh, speeches,, and a dance in the gym and carrying over Saturday to the alumni banquet, the game with Cheney, and the Homecoming dance that evening, it produces the biggestrpund of events packed into thirty-six hours that the students experience all year. "COMING EVENTS CAST their shadow before," is an old maxim. This story represents our shadow for the day when the alumni come back. Make no dates for November 18 and 19,. for "Curly" Gross, Homecoming chairman, has a big treat for you. Read on page one of the valiant stand British Columbia has taken on the cutting of education costs. The government declaration that "economy must not be practiced at the expense of the child's future,'" is indeed a forceful one and a well worth Our attention. Our neighbor British Columbia is making a great stand for education. May Washington profit by her example. ...

The extemporaneous entertainment provided by Jim Campbell's tapping and Tom McMahon's music prevented a hunger riot since thejish did riot choose to;cook in a hurry. While the coffee was being enjoyed, each initiate told his name and gave his reason. for joining "the club. After stumbling down miles of stairs, walking through cold shower rooms and over gritty sand, the fledgeling Thespians were permitted to remove their blindfolds so they could put on their shoes.

PLAY NOVEMBER 23 Plains Made for Six Team League Using Last Year's Rules -Take. St. Martins- This afternoon, when.the Vikings and St. Martins clash in their annual battle, history will be made. In the last nine games, the local grid-ders have token four and tied' one for an even break with the Catho- . lie school; But when Coach Carver trots his warriors out this afternoon, it will be a strengthened Viking machine that will face the opening whistle. With a week's rest, all the cripples with the exception of Hogan are in fair condition and smarting after the defeat at the hands of P. L. college are in the mood to give St. Martins the battle of their lives. Anyway I, for one, give Bellingham a good chance to take the visitors into camp for the local's first victory of the season. -—Take St. Martins—— Pop Gunn and Sam Carver report that Monday, November 28, has been tentatively set as the opening date for the intra-mural basketball loop. The coaches', office has put in an earnest request for erstwhile managers to get busy in the organs ization of their teams so that by the time the day rolls around, they can have at least six squads rounded up. : Thugs Back The ^Co-op Thugs, featuring Al McNeil, Fritz Harris, and some more tdughies, walked off with the custard pie last year and are confident enough to encourage "some more good teams" to enter the race this year so that they can have a little competition.' Sam says that "he isn't playing this year because of a sore finger" and Coach Gunn has agreed "to stay out to encourage some of the weaker boys who would otherwise be leery of entering." These two gents will handle the whistle wires. Two Halves As usual, there will be six games a week and the season will consist of two halves with the first-half winners playing the last-half pacesetters for the all-school championship. Only one month left and most of the good men have already assented to give this or that outfit a break. So managers—get busy! ' 0 =—— ST. MARTIN'S SQUAD INVADE VIKING LAIR ••' W:'$7$ A (Continued from Page One) In an effort to get a line on some of the new material Coaches Carver and Gunn will usher the Intramural Basketball league into reality ths last part, of November. The league has in the past been one of the most popular intramural sports and with a host of good basketball material in school is sure to give the fans something to talk about. The Co-ops led by "Curly" Gross won the championship last fall but are due for some tough competition when Viking Manor, The Garden Street Terriors, and the Y. M. C. A. get'into high gear. —Take St. Martins—— Lives of football men remind us They can make their Hoes sublime And departing leade behind us . Half their faces in the slime. i C.R. ivBill Malmquist, Chuck' Halbert, and Al McNeil spent a large share of theu- surttmer, attending the tenth Olympiad in Los Angeles. They engaged in heavy competition battling the crowds for a sight of the ath-letes. The boys also visited Mexico adn Reno, rTev., for a glimpse of ^ti$e "wide open? spaces.- the team from Lacey. The passing attack and pass defense have received similar attention and the Saints should encounter difficulty if they should take to the air in an effort to' score by that method, whereas if the Vikings start an aerial attack the situation will prove a dangerous one for the college. Although St. Martins have dropped games this year to the College of Puget Sound and the West Seattle Athletic club, it by no means indicates that the Rangers are not powerful, as the two clubs who defeated them are of known championship caliber. . Past Scores Reviewed Glancing through past records it is found that in 1923 the college brought a defensive team to Bellingham that matched Normal's powerful line and the game ended in a 3-3 tie.' Both teams 'scored with field goals/something the fans rarely see these days. The Vikings had a fast outfti in 1924 and downed the Saints 21-6. They repeated again the following year with a closer score and won 9-0. But two straight wins were all the Vikings could muster and the fighting Rangers took a thrilling game, 14-13 in 1926. The college evened up the wins and losses by defeating Normal again in 1927, by a close score. This brought the total to two wins for each, and one tie. After losing two straight years, the Normalites staged a vicious comeback and pushed over a strong squad of Laceyites in 1928, 7-0 and then added another victory to their credit in 1929, 19-0, to head the win and loss column by two games. Not to be outdone, St. Martins won 13-2 from Normal in 1930. In 1931 the Rangers brought their powerful undefeated team to Bellingham and downed the Vikings 26-0. Consequently the Rangers and the Vikings are all tied up in a knot with four wins apiece and one tie, but today's battle probably will settle the qeustion for at least one year., / —.—.—o————- ' Miss Helen Anderson gave a buffet supper Sunday evening and guests included Edna Ford and Esther Pearson, of St. Joseph's hospi-j Name: Sidney Comfort. | Born 1908; Montesano, Wash. j Age, 25; height, 5 ft. 8 in.

Cafeteria Starts New Plan Monday Edens hall cafeteria will start on a new basis Monday, October 31. A program featuring Hallowe'en will Open the new plan: This plan involves a set dinner in the evening and cafeteria style for lunch and breakfast. A limit of 30c is the price for dinner, 20c for lunch and 15c for breakfast. However, the limit may be exceeded by paying extra. ' The change was caused by students living too cheaply and buying the wrong kind of food. The new idea will ..enable students to obtain the correct diet. An invitation is extended to town students, housekeepers, and outsiders to eat in the cafeteria. Boys eating in the men's locker rooms are also invited. o Miss Gertrude Hankamp and Miss Helen Perrynian were guests of Miss Bertha MacFadyen during the W.E. A. convention. A six week's trip to Chicago and a glimpse of the Republican convention were enjoyed by Bertha Brem-nes, Bellingham, during summer vacation.
