Last Sunday, at the Municipal Airport in Seattle, the Boeing Airplane Manufacturing Company had on display one of the largest, fastest, and best equipped commercial airplanes in the world—Constructed so strongly that five seven-ton elephant could be placed on one wing, all metal, two-motored, this magnificent equipage has a top speed of 185 miles per hour. A fleet of these wonderful planes will soon be placed in transcontinental and coastwise service. The plane was open to the public for inspection. W.SJT.S. President Fisher should excuse from assembly all those seekers of knowledge who utilize that hour for gathering additional information. In last Tuesday's assembly one young man referred to three books, aided his seat partner in some difficulty, and found time to applaud the singers. When one considers the distraction that the singing presented, the restlessness and the applauding of the remainder of the student body, it really seems that these earnest people should not be forced to endure any outside "influences". Why not excuse them and let them go far, far away? W.S.N.S. *The effects of the economic wave in this institution is being really felt at last.

Last year the total cost of football was nearly $1800, about $150 of which was taken care of by ticket sales from the home game. The budget last year gave the fall sport $1663.75. The cost of the sweaters was covered by the money taken in at the games. As the state appropriation this year was way under the amount asked, some drastic cuts had to be made. Football usually takes up nearly half of the men's athletic budget and gives little monetary returns. It was decided upon unanimously by the trustees. Friday that football was the sport that should be dropped until at least 1935. It is not known yet whether El- Iensburg or Cheney will take such actions or not. o • DE: Students Have Famous Picture Painted by Sargent By MARY WEST A good-sized copy of "The Oyster Gatherers" by John Singer Sargent hangs on the main stairway. This picture was painted at Concale, a fishing town on the coast of Brittany not far from St. Malo. It represents a sunny day on the beach. A group of oyster gatherers, women and children, are moving toward the water. The formation of the group is natural; the figures are natural. Light silvery clouds only partly obscure the blue sky, which is reflected here and there in the pools left by the receding tide. The air seems clear, the sunshine brilliant; the color is pure and pleasing. Criticisms: "This is as brilliant a work in some respects as this great painter has ever produced and as charming a picture as one may find in any (Continued on Page Two) o FORMER INSTRUCTOR TO PERFORM, DUTIES Mrs. Barbara Dixon Elwell, who was formerly in charge of the Children's Library and taught classes in Children's Literature, will carry on the work of Miss Beatrice Etoty, who has, due to an illness, been taken to Seattle. o — Viking Proteges Will Meet Tuesday Night An evening Viking staff meeting will be held Tuesday evening, at the Fisher residence, on the corner of High and Oak streets.

H. Fisher presented a tentative budget for the year 1933-34. Due to the elimination of football, the budget for the various activities, excluding men's athletics, would remain practically unchanged. Pres. John Christy suggested that an emergency fund be created to assist some department of student activities that had a deficit or to meet some unforseen activity. This was put in the form of a motion and passed upon and $500.00 was designated to this fund. The budget for this year and for the coming year of 1933-1934 is as follows: 1932-33 1933-34 Social Life $1800.00 $1600.00 Northwest Viking .. 1500.00 1500.00 Men's Athletics 3875.00 2500.00 Womens' Athletics.. 450.00 400.00 Drama Club 375.00 300.00 Musical Art. Course 1000.00 Assembly Programs 2700.00 2200.00 $11,700.00 $9000.00 Applications for editor of the Tri- Normal Track booklet were voted upon and Ken Elder was elected as editor and instructed to have 350 copies ready for distribution the day before the meet, May 19. ALUMNI TO PRESENT Oselio Ivarson, a pupil of Edith R. Strange, will give a piano recital in assembly next Tuesday, April 11. The first group Miss Ivarson will play is from the very early period of music. The group includes "The King's Hunting Jig" (Bull); Minuet (Purcell); Pavane: Earl of Salisbury (Byrd); and Pastoral and Ca-priccio by Scarlatti. These numbers were originally written for the harpischord and clavichord. For her second, group Miss Ivarson will play Beethoven's Sonata Opus No. 3. This composition is from the later classic period, and includes the allegro, minuetto, and scherzo movements. Three numbers from Chopin will compose the third group. It includes Etude Opus 25 No. 1; Nocturne in F minor; and Valse Bril-liante. In*her final group Miss Ivarson will play numbers from the modern English and French. La Plus Que Lente, and The Little Shepherd (Debussy); Sea Idyl (Bridge); and Passacaglia by Scott, will compose the group. Miss Ivarson was a student at Normal in 1926-27. Sftie then went to the University and graduated with a music major. She returned to Normal in 1930-31 for additional work. Since the fall of 1931 she has been teaching English and music in the Mount Vernon city schools. Dormitory Inmate Has Crucial Experience With Weekly Wash This story was handed to the Northwest vikingr by I*w Lovegren. The author of it is unknown, but knowing Lew, and all—! ! —Editor. The story of an after dinner escapade— A scene of quiet and peace reigned outside the dining hall. The evening sun was sinking into the golden west, zephyrs were gently blowing and a full week's wash, serenely sleeping and drying, hung in room 120. A damp stocking opened a sleepy eye, yawned and while enjoying a vigorous stretch accidentally kicked its nearest neighbor, one of the several unmentionables that go with every girl's wardrobe. The stocking ; ap-olbgized arid having thus started convei^tion rbltog suggested that they ;»^£|fii^^ panions arid go for a stroll. This.

The silk shorts blushed a faint pink and some of the unmentionables got a bad case of the jitters. The stockings turned and started to run but it was top late; their owner had burst into the room. .':, • gt;. .

SPECIAL STAFF WRITERS Virginia Carver, Bill Fisher, Harriet Rickerson, Jack Kemphaus, Stuart Fresk, June Welch, Mary Fisher ~~ REPORTERS Glen Willock, Rhoda LeCocq, Jean McMillan, Dick Albert, Louise Schulz, Beth Hankins Football and Ellensburg One' week ago the board of trustees of this school met to discuss policies that would have to be enacted to permit the school to operate on the drastically cut budget apportioned it by the last state legislature. At this meeting it was decided that at least one member of the faculty would have to be cut from each department of the school, in several departments two members, and four members of the office staff and employees. At the same time the fees were cut to $10 from the $17 that we have been paying. Five dollars of this amount formerly went to the payment of teachers' salaries, to make up the deficit left in our budget by the removal of the land grant money that rightfully belongs to it, but was taken away several years ago to relieve the financial situation at Ellensburg Normal school. Money which rightfully should come from the state legislature via the land grants has been coming from the pockets of the students. Our registration fees each quarter would have been $ 12 instead of $ 1 7 as it has been in the past. If this misappropriation had not occurred it is probable that we would be having football here next fall, as it does not seem possible that the board of trustees would further reduce student fees from $12. However, since the students of the school have been paying inordinately high fees from the time of the legislative robbery to the present, the trustees undoubtedly rightly saw fit to reduce fees to the lowest amount possible. OUR FOOTBALL, THEN, IS SACRIFICED TO KEEP U P THE BUDGET OF A SCHOOL IN T H E EASTERN P A R T OF T H E STATE. IS THIS FAIR? '• — o :—:— Student Vandalism The stop signs on our campus were a friendly warning to students and faculty to "keep off the grass". The amusing "STOP, Doggone It" hurt no one's feelings. It was a pleasant bit of advice, laughingly given, cheerfully received. Still someone felt that the clever, the original, the "smart" thing to do was to cover them with black paint. They were not ugly signs. They were attractive. We have the same vandalism, the same disrespect for restrictions for the common good in the savages. It is too bad that there must always be some throw-backs to the age when man wore skins in any organized community. Here is an opportunity for some club to show itself of value to the school. It is a good project for some club to raise money to pay for having the lettering, and the cartoon '•.put back on every, one,of the defaced: signs.

Then* there's the co-ed who doesn't know how to play the game, but because shels heard that it's a good reducoid she's willing to learn. Following are the adventures of such a co-ed: Why didn't somebody tell me? Why don't they have it in the curri-cu— currica—in that thing they have at college? Here I go and take up tennis in a serious way and yearn out my young heart thinking I'm being made love to for two hours—and what happens. The big hero I was falling for gives me a knuckle-cruncher and says, "You might make a player— in about a year. See you again— maybe." And for two hours he'd been calling me 'love'. The fickle thing! Here I go and buy a racquet and some lovely balls, .all covered with fuzz like peaches and get up at 5 a. m. and paddle out to the links, or the course, or whatever you call it, and stick around, sort o' wistful like. I Play Again By and by this young Adonis comes sauntering over and says, "Let's play a set or two." So I said, "All right, only I'm off my game—the bridge party didn't break up till 3 a. m." Then he murmured "Heavens! What Is tnib younger generation coming to?" Well, we got out there on the links, he on one side of the net and I on the other and batted the balls around with our racquets. Then he started in. "Fifteen, Love!" he calls. "Sassafras!" thinks I, "I must be knocking him dead with my fatal beauty." And I missed another peach. "Thirty, Love," he says, out loud. "Okeh, Sweetheart," I responded, "but tone down on the chest notes. This ain't Hollywood." Then I managed to wang a couple of balls back at him, but all he said was, "Forty, Love". Good natured, no end! Well, after some more of this sort of thing we changed ends and pulled an encore. He let me count, 'cause I didn't think it was fair that all the affection should come my way. I Do My Bit So I did some 'Forty Love' stuff, but that seemed sort of tame, so I stepped it up to 'Sixty, Honey' and wound up with 'Ninety-nine, Old Darling'. Boy! You should have seen how pepped up he got. He said he never knew what a thrill tennis could really be, before he met me. And when it was time to quit, I just stuck out my hand, sort o' shyly, "Good-bye er Love," I whispered. But all he did was put my hand through a daily.dozen and beat it. And some bird around here says that 'Love' in tennis doesn't mean a thing more than 'Fore' in golf. Oh, is that so? Well maybe it doesn't as a rule, but it certainly did the way that young fellow said it to me out on the tennis - links or course or whatever you call it this a. m. Literary This and That "Why should I go to America? All America comes.to me." —-o o—• And the latest outrage G. B. S. committed was 'his rudeness to Helen Keller. Miss Keller had for years looked forward to meeting Shaw—had read his books eagerly and had admired his mind. At last, through Lady Astor, an interview was arranged. _Miss Keller extended her hand, with which to "see" the great playwright. Shaw took it limply and perfunctorily. —o—- a 2 - She was surprised because his hand "bristled with egotism." "I am very happy to meet you" she murmured. "All Americans say the same thing" snorted Shaw. Lady Astor remonstrated with the insolent old man—"Don't you realize this is Helen Keller? She is deaf and blind?" "Of course," he replied, "All Americans are deaf and blind— and dumb!" —o o— This may be just another wisecrack, but it makes some of us bristle. The Boston Globe resents eloquently: "The average American can take a rap like that when directed at himself and laugh. But, like any decent human being, he boils at the idea of using one of the most heroic and pathetic figures of modern times for a joke." —o o— As a playwright, ShaW ranks, but as a wisecracker, he rankles. He is becoming irksome—let us have Wheeler and. Woolsey, who are funny without being odious. —o o— It is forunate that there are no Sftiaw heirs prevalent. Imagine being overrun by a handful of rude, egotistical vegetarians, who might, as their father would, define a 100 per cent American as "99 per cent an idiot". * —o——o— When clever critics are born, it is hoped that America will produce them, and that they will all pan George Bernard. It's time someone grabbed the old reprobate's beard and pulled until he bawls "uncle".

One) By MARY FISHER If some of us "big students" had had the library training which the training school "little students" are now getting, we would have sailed very smoothly through library instruction. The children's library (walk in sometime and notice these following features) is distinctly more juvenile in decorations and furnishings than the other rooms in the library. There is more light; there are pots and bowls of bright flowers in several nooks and corners; colorful' posters about; and two illustrated and very enticing maps. Chairs and tables range in four sizes, from little "foot from the floor" chairs to grown-up sizes. This whole arrangement creates the inviting affect which is needed to help interest the training school children in their organized library work.

The lobby will be the scene of dancing to the Victrola, for which the girls have borrowed many records. ~ A decorative scheme harmonizing with the type of party will be carried out.

The girls who attended the party were cleverly arrayed in such a manner as to carry out the advertising idea. The stunts performed by the different floors also contributed to the plan of "it pays to advertise". Paddle Squad Hefty The paddle squad was hefty on the job and under the capable leadership of Janet Schecterle, fulfilled their duties of compelling the initiates and guests to follow the plans made by the initiation committee. Those duly initiated into the hall were Coral Jeffres and Marie von Scheele. True to the decoration plans of "advertising", emphasis was placed on the fact that the punch was made strictly of Sunkist lemons, and the wafers were the exclusive product of Uneeda! The girls acting as waitresses wore an alluring costume featuring "sandwich signs". Committees Successful The success of the party was largely due to the work of the chairmen of the various committees: Decoration, Connie Ingerson; refreshment, Lottie Stevenson; initiation, Grace Parsons; and paddle squad, Janet Schecterle. The guests of honor, after the first shock of surprise, accustomed themselves to the hilarious scheme of advertising, and enjoyed themselves as much as the initiates. They were: Miss Linda Countryman, Miss Florence C. Johnson, Miss Mildred Ewell, Miss Beatrice Doty, and Miss Ruth Shumway. By MARY FISHER Assuming that you are more than a little interested in the romantic Indian ex-prince who spoke so en-lighteningly in assembly last week, we'll let you in on some of the high lights of a luncheon date we had with him. After all, he really is rather ple-bian because it isn't a Dusenburg or a Packard limousine that he travels around in, but a chaufferless 1929 Ford sedan.- But you should smell those India-imported cigarettes of his!. They've got Oriental potency plus. We'll wager a package of them is worth almost the price of his lecture here. He is very fond of American cooking (he politely said) but seems to be a very light eater. Discusses Female Disciple Naturally, we were still turning over in our mind some of the questions and thoughts Mr. Warliker's lecture had aroused in our mind. "Tell us something about this English woman, Alice Slade, who is such a great Ghandi disciple?" we asked. "Miss Slade is the daughter of a former high English official in India. She had great wealth, an enviable social position and a fine intellect, yet she felt that life for her was empty and hollow. She became interested in Ghandi's ideas, studied them and finally offered her fortune and personal service to Ghandi. Of course her absolute sincerity was rather doubted at first by the Indian Congress Workers and therefore Ghandi had her only as a trial associate for quite a long period of time. During this time and since then she has proven her utmost sincerely. She has given up all her former life and all personal ambitions she might have had, to serve Ghandi." Prime Minister Sympathetic Soon the conversation got around to Ramsay MacDonald's connection with India's welfare. "I consider Mr. MacDonald a very honest, just, and able man," stated Mr. Warliker, "and I do not think any less of him for having switched parties. If he had not he Would not now be in a position of power and that is where he. is needed, because he is so capable. Ramsay MacDonald is in sympathy with many of Ghandi's plans, but with the existing order of things his hands are tied. When and if the labor party once more gains a majority, India's independence will come closer by leaps and bounds." Long before we'd asked half the questions we wanted to, the ex-prince jumped sprightly up from the table announcing he would have to make a sudden departure because he had to make a Los Angeles engagement by Sunday evening. Reluctantly we bade him good-bye fervently seconding his hope that we would would meet soon again.

Flint played great ball for the losers behind the bat and also slugged out a home run and a two-base hit to take the hitting honors. Schlilaty showed plenty of steam in the pitcher's box, but lacked the support of his teammates. Lineups: Ten Pins—Gallenger, Bagley, Martin, Siler, Temple, Forstrom, Gaas-land, Leatha, Nolte, Jones. Timber Wolves—Flint, Schlilaty, Brinkman, Berg, Flowers, Jensen, Anson, Finley, Shaffer. o MORNINGGLORIESWIN Spring has brought all the outdoor spirits back- to the athletic co-ed arid she's responding with plenty of vigor and vim. Baseball, archery, tennis and speedball, the spring sports, have gotten well under way.

INTRAMURAL PROGRAM TO BE TRIED HERE INSTEAD OF INTER-SCHOOL FOOTBALL GOACH Bs^iiilii Gridiron Sport Is Eliminated Board of Trustees Last Friday Night by BASKETBALL MAY BE TRIED S. E. CARVER Who Substitutes a Plan for Football Pre-schedule Game With Kings Ends* With Close Score In a hotly contested baseball game between the Kings and the Morning Glories last Monday, the latter outfit managed to have the winning punch and won 10 to 9. The game was a pre-schedule affair and showed the potentialities of the two teams for the coming intramural race. Stearns Good The Morning Glories looked plenty hot with Dick Stearns pitching airtight ball for the first five innings while his teammates pasted the ball all over Waldo field to run up a nice lead. At the beginning of the sixth inning the score stood 7 to 0 in favor of the Morning Glories, and Denton's boys looked like they were in for a bad beating. -However, Manager Dick Hammett jerked his master pitcher Stearns and ran in a new chucker in the form of Meyers. But the Kings commenced to wallop Mr. Meyers in no uncertain fashion and made the score stand 9-10 before the Morning Glories were lucky enough to stop the rally. Lineups: King—Gaasland, Denton, Zoet, Jackson, Lewis, Williams, Temple, Siler, Shaffer, Cole. Morning Glories—Wahl, DeLancy, Stearns, Robinson, Hammett, Anson, Durr, Waters, Kemphaus, Shenen-berger. o Work of Reforestation Described by Forester DO THE STUDENTS WANT FOOTBALL? On June 2, 1932, the student body of this school voted as to whether intercollegiate football, as an activity, should be maintained in the school. The results of the voting were as follows: Students voting to maintain football 221 Students voting to drop football 110 For every student in the school who wanted to do away with intercollegiate football, there were two who wanted it kept. A majority of the students clearly wanted football whether it was successful from the standpoint of winning games or not. Now a power greater than the students has enacted the decree that there shall be no football at the school. Has the board of trustees been informed as to the students' willingness at that time to pay for their football? ARE THE STUDENTS WILLING NOW TO PAY THE EXTRA $2.50 FOR FOOTBALL THAT THEY PAID IN T H E PAST? That is the question the Viking wishes to open. Do the students of this school want their football continued enough to pay the extra money they will have to if it is not dropped? Opinions on the matter will be welcomed by the Viking, and published in its pages. SPORT SLANTS The word "reforestation" is much before the public nowadays. It is a headline word. President Roosevelt has done much to popularize it within the past few months in his speeches and messages, and it is now dealt with in a congressional act. There is apparently much popular confusion in the use of the word. Just what is "reforestation"? To the forester it is a word with a definite and specific meaning. As a technical word, it means the restoring of an area to forest, either by artificial or natural means. That is, either the growing and setting out of young forest trees or seedlings on land which once had forests! or the slow or gradual restocking with forest by nature of land once forested. That is the correct or technical meaning. Likewise, afforestation means the planting of a forest on land which has not previously borne forest. Deforestation means the destruction or removal of forest from land with no conscious effort to restock the land. Of late, however, the word "reforestation'! has come to be popularly used 'fecf cover a much wider field In this loose or popular sense, it has come to mean almost any method, iaeans, or system whereby forest land is M^ pro-t e c t ^ whether the iand Is cut over or is now bearing mature timber. By BILL FISHER Concerning the track sitteeation: Sam says that while some men are showing up to advantage, general conditions are far from what was expected and the boys will have to bear down if they want to make a good showing against the strong competition that is in store for them. Here is a little dope on the boys: Brinkman is one man who is really coming into form. Schlilaty is still the outstanding man in the sprints. Temple is doing some neat javelin throwing, but Berg and Kemphaus are close behind him and look like point-winners. The discus is sorely in need of a man who can throw it. Red Van Over is doing the best shot-putting. Dutch McBeath is working-out during the noon hour and is a potential point-winner in the high jump. Both Posey Flowers and Davey Jones are leaping up into the ozone in good style in the pole vault. Unless Johnny Gable can find the time (and we'll let you on a little secret: Johnny, although he is teaching in the country, will make every effort to be on hand when the Blue and White goes into action), it looks like it's going to be just too bad in the broad jump. Barbo, Becken, Hall, Stiger, and DeLancy are working hard in the middle distance runs. Les Williams and Posey are putting forth efforts to develop into hurdlers.— Folks, that's the way she stands now.—What do you think of it? Gaily Gallanger, who first took the initiative in the movement to get a local nine into the city ball league, has decided, after weighing- various factors in the situation, that it would be inadvisable for Normal to enter a team. We've talked to Sam and he seems to agree and feel that it would be better to concentrate on the intra-mural league. - The tennis; horseshoe, and golf ladders have swung into action . . . Practice games in intramural ball are being played . . . The archery girls are out with their bows and arrows . . . The tennis courts are always full . . . Spring weather is here at lasjt . . . That's what we want, folks, athletics and more athletics! Today is the day! Yeh—we mean that today's the day that beer will be drunk (as usual), but from now on, it will be legal. College laboratory experiments on athletes have proven that alcohol, taken in any form, is not beneficial to the human body. Bead the latest book, "Alcohol and Man", a symposium by numerous authorities, and you will find that research students who have attacked the problem from a purely scientific point of view, have discovered that in every instance, alcohol, in the long run, has been demonstrated to be detrimental. This beer bill may help to balance the budget for the democrats, but it will help at the expense of something that is of infinitely more importance; namely, the health and character-habits of youth—and don't; let anybody kid you into thinking that the virtual elimination of prohibition won't encourage drinking among college people. It's done now and all we can say is that we think It is a distinct blow to! American ^progress and heWere me, we're going to be pfemtoe disappointed If any Normal school students, and particularly ber athletes, take to this *ew: or *• any ^OmJhiai^;^ "In place of the regular football schedule, a large program of intramural sports will have to be arranged for the next two years". This is the statement made by Coach Sam Carver when interviewed on the action taken by the board of trustees of Normal last week. The newly elected board met at the school last Friday night and among other changes toward economizing, they decreed that football should be eliminated for the next two years. Competition For All "The dropping of football," said Mr. Carver, "may cause a slight falling off in registration among the men, but the reduced fees probably will attract more of the students from the city high schools to come to the Normal. I think that we will be able to arrange an attractive schedule of intramural sports in which everyone will be able to participate." "It is hardly probable that a program of intramural football will be arranged because of the fact that it would be too expensive as everyone would PPPPP
