Dr. Hicks thinks Bellingham, and Sehome hill in particular, make an ideal setting for a school. He is more than laudatory about the library, which he regards as a model of efficiency and beauty. The building and organization are similar to that at Stanford, with which he is familiar. In Charge of Three Courses The courses which he teaches this quarter are freshman English, studies in English language and American literature. English I is an orientation course in literature, and the students are now engaged in reading Homer's Odyssey. Studies in English language is a comprehensive survey of the language, including historical background, derivation of words, principles of grammar and problems encountered in teaching it. One of the most interesting subjects the English department offers this year is American literature, a gen-ral vista of American literary achievement. Study of Jonathan Edwards, colonial sage, introduces the student to this great field, and survey pf the contemporary scene closes the course. Although he has had little op- .portunity to get acquainted yet, Dr. Hicks anticipates a pleasant year, having found the students to be willing, intelligent arid co-operative. The latter will find in him a keen thinker ready to advise them in English problems. Lecturing on the famous Scottish poet, Robert Burns, Mr. William Dunlop, P. R. G. S., eminent lecturer of Vancouver, B. C, will be the feature of Tuesday's assembly. Mr. Dunlop is a Scotsman by birth and has spent much of his life in traveling the globe. He has spent twenty years in South Africa and the same length of time in Canada, touring and lecturing. In addition to his experience in the Pacific northwest, Mr. Dunlop has lectured before the Scottish society in England, and to the Shakespeare society, the Burns fellowship, and various open audiences throughout the world. He is said to have an excellent, resonant speaking voice and is also a singer of ability, often illustrating his interesting lectures with songs and dramatic readings. The life and works of Robert Burns will be the subject of Mr. Dunlop's address at this assembly. The talk will be illustrated with various slides. Mr. Dunlop is considered an authority on the subject of the late Scottish poet. o Weythman Speaks About World Trip To IRC. Club ^ r n e t Is Elected President of the International Relations Organization Class Will Form With New Text "An Introduction to Western Civilization" Will Be New Material Students this quarter are facing a reorganization of the course in History of Civilization. A new text, "An introduction to Western Civilization," will be used as part of the material for the organized course. The book is edited by Professor George A. Hedger, who has been assisted by economists, political sci-ents, psychologists, and educators. "This is the best book ever used in this department," says Miss Nora Cummins, "anii emphasis is to be placed on History of Agriculture and Industry." *fr Bushell Issues Call To School Players Do you play an instrument? That is the big question. Mr. D. Bushell ' of the Music department, invites all Normal school students who play musical instruments, especially violin, to see him as soon as possible in the music office concerning the orchestra.

Knapman urged all members of the society to attend as this is to be one of the most important meetings this quarter. Officers for the club will be elect-and general plans for the coming year discussed. Arrangements for the quarterly banquet and initiation will be planned at the meeting. ——r—o — Registration at U Above Expectation Registration at the University of Washington in theMast week has far surpassed the expectations of enrollment. Hopes for reaching the 7400 mark were high as 6309 had been registered early in the week. A fee drop from $15 to $10 and relaxed entrance requirements were the outstanding reasons for the Increased enrollment.

Girls Make Plans Playhouse Is Meeting Place for Bine Triangle Girls; Work in View The Blue Triangle club met at the Y. W. C. A. Wednesday evening, October 4. Through the co-operation of Miss Rich and the Campus school, the club obtained the use of the playhouse in back of the school for a meeting place. The playhouse was originally built for the second grade by the junior high pupils of the Campus school, but was never finished in the interior. The club will finish painting the interior and furnish it. Mr. Ruck-mick and his classes will also assist. Officers for this year were elected at the last meeting and are as follows: President, Molly Pearl; vice president, Henny Lund; I. C. C. representative, Theona Flick; secretary-treasurer, Marie de Gollier. The theme for the programs for the quarter is, "Interracial Understanding and Appreciation". Informal discussion will be held on that subject, led by various members of the club. "Negroes" will be the subject for the next meeting. The discussion will be led by Marie de Gollier. o — Gallanger Is Elected President of W Club In Meeting Tuesday Officers Are Left Vacant by Many Students Who Leave Town Bert Gallanger was elected president of the W club at a special meeting held last Tuesday after school. Other officers elected were: Walter Sinko, vice president; and Alois Charlesworth, secretary-treasurer. " \ • The election was made necessary because officers who were elected last year are attending other schools. Those who were to have taken office this -fall were: Truman Berg, president; George Nolte, vice president; John Stiger, secretary-treasurer. 0 —- I. C. C. Holds First Meeting of Term At the first meeting of the Inter-club Council, held on Wednesday, September 27, under the leadership of its president, Victor Dickinson, They discussed club work and made several important decisions. Through the advice of the Board of control, the clubs will sponsor the Rec Hours, as was done last year* An officerss' training school will be held under the supervision of V. H. Hoppe of the Speech department. A committee was appointed consisting of Lila Welder, and Sara Jamieson to consider application of meeting dates and social affairs during the fall quarter. ! October 15 was set. as the deadline for the clubs to elect representatives to the cbuncU.' All representatives will serve for three quarters, instead of «ne quarter as was done in the past- -V: ^ lt;^rrf: New Policy Instituted New Library Policy Inaugurated to Minimize Students' Difficulties "The keynote of our policy is to minimize as much as possible the difficulties facing the student hi the use of this library," said Miss Mabel Wilson, head librarian, in an inter view for the benfit of new students. To the student just entering a university or college • the libraries with their vast resources are ex tremely bewildering. Out of so much material it is difficult to pick a particular volume or article and this school is fortunate in having a librarian who from her own exper ience in the complexities of large libraries has been able to quite a degree, to do away with them here. Miss, Wilson further stated that teachers college courses are highly specialized and in order to co-op erat to the fullest extent the library has gathered in the general reading room all material related to the curriculum. This material has been classified in the card index located in the main hall. A catalogue list ing all current articles is maintained and indicates which of these articles are obtainable in the library's maga zine section, where the best publications may be found. The library staff will gladly supply pamphlets to thos not familiar with the median ids of the index and catalogue. Four New Buildings On 'U'fcCampus Soon Half Million Dollar Program Begun by Board Launching a million and a half dollar building program for the University campus this year, the board of regents with the state relief commission are making available to the University $1,400,000 for the erection of four new buildings with construction scheduled to start in the immediate future. A new fire-proof infirmary and a new dormitory for the women along with a hew wing for the library and an addition to the power plant are the projects included. Fifteen Amateurs Report To Class Fifteen aspiring amateurs assembled after registration in the JViking hang-out to .gather tid-bits for the .weekly criterion. Fairhaven high brought forth five young hopefuls, while Whatcom added two more to the list. Others hailed from as far south as Southern Oregon, and as far north as Lyn-den, Washington.

The advisability of attempting to publish a Klipsun for the year 1933-34 was discussed at great length by the Board of Control last spring quarter. At that time the Board decided to forgoe further clucking over the matter, and to refer it to a popular vote this fall. Last year each student paid one dollar per quarter to the Associated Students, which sum was set aside as subscription fee for the annual. Each student, during the year, paid three dollars for his yearbook. Three dollars is a pre-depression price for an annual. Many find it difficult to meet even the small cost of registration here. One dollar reduction in fees would mean much. Yet most men and women in, this school would sacrifice something more immediately and more materially important in order to have some permanent record of the good times of the school year. The cost to the students of the publication can be greatly reduced by publishing advertisements in it, charging each student only his part of the total remainder over the receipts .from the sale of these advertisements. This would benefit the students by reducing the cost to him; the business manager, by enabling him to receive a percentage of the receipts; the printers, who will be publishing a larger book, the advertisers, who will receive the publicity due them in the book; and the administration, which will be publicized by the copy of the Klipsun lying on each advertiser's showcase. ; The plan would be beneficial to everyone concerned. There is no reason why it cannot be instated. o INCORPORATION POSSIBILITIES The following is a list of some of the things which the incorporation of the Associated Students will make possible: The administration of the funds of the Associated Students by its officers. Independent borrowing, lending and investment of funds by the Association. 3. Purchase, lease, or mortgage of real property by the Association. 4. Exclusive control of Normalstad by the Board of Control. 5. Exclusive management of the Northwest Viking by the Board. 6. The existence of a fund, the property of the Associated Students, which is in no way identified -with state funds. Whether the Board of Control can manage these affairs and responsibilities remains yet to be seen. Nevertheless, the willingness and courage to try are to student president, John Christy's, credit. 1 -.2. ....In September we look back.on the lazy warm summer months with somewhat of a smiler—prj sometimes actually a lusty chuckle—or, if sentimentally inclined, perhaps a sigh or two—or more.

Bookman suggests that with plot by Stevenson, characters by Dickens and Conrad, spiritual atmosphere courtesy of George Gissirig, the book is an insoluble mystery. I have wondered for some time how Priestly "got away with it". His plots are the hackneyed old stuff, rejuvenated and embellished with Thackeray and Dickenesque characters. In "Human Being," Christopher Morley erects a monument to the forgotten man, Richard Roe, who always gets the worst of it in deals with John Doe. The main happenings in thirty years of Richard's life are there, during which time he was travelling salesman for a publishing house; married his jealous and shallow wife, Lucille; met Minnie Hutz-ler; went into the stationery accessories business; and dropped dead at a most opportune moment. Morley shows how well he understands human nature when'he tracks Richard through his peregrinations, doing his trailing with finesse and real understanding.

Just finished "Street of Sandal-makers" by Nis Peterson. It left a very disagreeable taste in my mouth. Seemed that the author rather blunderingly copied the style of John Erskine, that gentleman who has the temerity to deburik classical heroes. Petersen's manner is not exactly that of the iconoclast, but he modernizes the language of Marcus and the other noble Romans, to render it recognizable to moronic readers. Anachronisms well done make good reading, but "Street of Sandalmak-ers" does not impress the reader with its quality. ^o • University of Minnesota co-eds are liable to a fine of $40 or a jail sentence of six days if they are captured wearing a fraternity pin.

Wednesday evening the drawing for golf positions was held. As only eight men had signed up by Monday night, Carver sent a call out for all men who had the ability to swing clubs and had three more men signed by Wednesday. Those signed up include Bob Lindsley, Bun Miles, Hugh Lovegren, Jack Clark, Bob Hartley, By Moser, Gordon Richardson, James Pendleton, Jim Mo-scrip, James Ahern, and Dan Van Doren. The tennis tournament got under way Tuesday with twelve men fighting i t out for the school championship. Bill Hussey, the tournament favorite, defeated his old high school rival, "Chuck" Livesey, in a match that extended three sets. Shenen-berger and Myers were also winners, eliminating Moscrip and Waters, respectively. A team that call themselves the Independents were victorious over the Northwest Vikings in the first volleyball game. Last evening the Frosh took on the Alley Cats. A split season- of six games each will be played in volleyball, with the first half ending October 16. Independents Win Volleyball Game From Viking Team News Reporters Lose First Game of Intramural Season by 2 to 1 Score The Independents got a ump on the other volleyball teams last Tuesday when they got into the win column by defeating the Vikings in two out of three games. The Independents took the first game in an uphill battle and after losing the second to the scrappy reporters took the third and final game by a wide margin. Zoet, Van-der Griend and Divird stood out for the winners, with Stone and Lindsley looking fair for the Vikings. Passing Attack Poor Neither team had a very polished passing attack. The courts weren't long enough for the newswriters and this helped to account for 'their downfall. Last evening the Alley Cats took on the Frosh. The remainder of the schedule is as follows: Oct. 9—Independents vs. Cats. Oct. 10—Vikings vs. Frosh. Oct. 12—Independent vs. Frosh. Oct. 16—Vikings vs. Cats. Oct. 17—Independent vs. Vikings. Oct. 18—Alley Cats vs. Frosh. Oct. 23—Independents vs. Cats. Oct. 24—Vikings Vs. Frosh. Oct. 28—Independents vs. Frosh. Oct. 30—Vikings vs. Cats. Viking Halfback Relates History Walt Sinko is to Play Last Year of College Football Here This Season Walt Sinko East born but West bred—that's Walt Sinko, Viking stellar halfback, who this season will represent Bel-lingham in his last year of college footbal. The Polish "Mercury" was born in Minnesota in 1910 but came West before he was a year old. His football career began when he turned out for freshman high school football at Raymond, Wash. He became a regular the next year and was voted a berth on the all-Sbuth-west conference first team in his senior year. St. Martin's had first chance to use him on a college team, but in 1930 after three semesters at Lacey he cam here. Walt thinks the tri-normal this year is practically a toss-up. He believes the Vikings might take the Frosh, but the other non-conference teams look plenty tough. Wo men s Sports W. A. A.

Though more girls signed up for those three sports than put in an appearance at the first practice, the advisers and sports managers expect more to report before next week. Last Monday afternoon in the big gym, Miss Jewell, volleyball adviser, looked over the prospects for the coming intramurals and above the din of jumping feet gave the girls a little preliminary drill. Note: Some of the freshmen turnouts appeared in quite fetching plaid gym suits in the autumnal shades! Much talent from previous years was displayed in the hockey turnout on Tuesday, with a group including five girls who played on the Sophomore hockey team last year. This group does not include, however, Lorraine Shepherd, who was an outstanding hockey center during her year's attendance at this school, but- who is now teaching in Walla Walla. An., exchange., paper., from., the Charleston, Illinois, Teachers college bears the interesting item of what would appear to be a deviation from the usual W. A.

Women's sports there sponsor not only hiking, tennis, and archery, but rifling, track, and social dancing as welL Soccer called put as many, if not more, enthusiastic turn-outs as did volleyball, but yet more are solicited by Miss Weythman, adviser, and Maude Campbell, manager.

Women's Athletic Association Holds Formal Initiation Taking Pledge and Social Tea Highlights of Ceremony Held at Hall Formal initiation, followed by a social tea, was held Thursday after noon by the Women's Athletic association in the blue room of the Edens hall for about twenty-five new members. In candlelight to the strains of the initiation song the candidates walked slowly into the circle of members. Each prospect was led forward by an .old member to take the pledge and sign the club scroll. This scroll was started last year when formal initiations first replaced the rough house ones formerly held. The club initiation song was sung, accompanied by Lillian Mar-salais at the piano. Lottie Stevenson, chairman of the .affair, assisted by her committee, served tea to the group. As a finale for the initiation the girls gathered around the fireplace and sang. Those initiated include: Hazel Swisher, Mary Thompson, Marye Louise Harrison, Leona Trager, Jo sephine Grassmeyer, Maxine Iddins, Mildred Stoecher, Phyllis Greely, Gwendolyn Simmons, Rose Jacob, Helen Ward, Donnie' Grant, Evelyn Neal, Elsie Jensen, Jane Miller, Mar-cella Hachett, Aloha Genther, and Sue Harlow. ;—. —o Sailboat Excursion To Lodge Arranged For all the women and instructors of the school, the Women's Athletic association is sponsoring a sailing excursion to Viqueen lodge tomorrow afternoon.

These are the questions that are being asked around school now, as they always are at this time of the year, and we are pleased to find a more optimistic spirit than we have seen for years. A new coach, a new system, many new players, and we hope a "new deal", have started this hopeful outlook and it shows that the students are all behind the team, in a big way. Let's hope we're not disappointed. "Blocking!" Just a small word but still the most important word in football, or at least in the Notre Dame system of attack which Coach Lappenbusch is ushering in at this school this year. Every night that word is drilled into the players until pretty soon they'll be blocking for Sinko and Toby through the halls, and if present indications mean anything, we will at least have one good blocking team this year. So, remember that when Sinko, or Imhoff, or any of the other boys plants the pigskin over that last chalk line, they only did it because the other ten players did their job well. We've heard rumors that Dill Pierron is going to be a sticker candidate for yell leader this year. More power to you, Bill. (Just a campaign picture above, folks). C. P.

Herbert Gallanger, newly elected president of the club, says that the committees working on plans for the affair have not had time to secure a satisfactory place for the dance, and a suitable orchestra. . Meeting Held Oct. 3 A meeting was held on Tuesday, October 3, and a committee with Jack Palkner, general chairman; Louis Shaeffer, tickets and nro-grams; and Al Charlsworth, refreshments, were appointed by the president. According to Gallanger, the other main reason for the postponement of the quarterly affair is that the date set was too near the beginning of the quarter and the boys aren't well enough acquainted. State Supreme Court To Decide Question To Affect Building Extent of P. E. Building to Depend on Action Today Whether or not Bellingham Normal will be granted enough money to erect at least a part of the Physical Education building, will depend to a great extent upon the action of the state supreme court today. They are to decide whether or not the state bond issue of $10,000,000 will be used for direct or indirect relief. If it is to be used directly, to buy food and clothing to give out, it is quite probable that Normal will get much less than asked. If it is to be used indirectly to put people to work at building worthwhile projects, probably about $150,- 000 will be appropriated by the state. When Governor Clarence D. Martin was here for commencement last summer, he looked the situation over, and said that he realized the need of such a building on the campus. He has recommended the appropriation of some money for this purpose. Of the $3,300,000,000 federal bond issue, which is intended to encourage state, county, and municipal projects/ probably about $50,000 will be given. The board of trustees asked for $300,000. If only $200,000 is appropriated, two-thirds of the building will be erected. This will probably include the men's gymnasium and the swimming pool, while the women's gymnasium will be built later.
