X X X I I I — N O . 15 W A S H I N G T O N S T A T E N O R M A L SCHOOL, B E L L I N G H A M , W A S H I N G T ON Friday, January 2 5 , 1933 Nortnalite EXPENDITURES SALARIES LITTLE FLEA KLD7SUN By Pat Allan Tragic consequences of newspaper "cut school expenditure" jingo threaten the very existence of the public schools in the state. A people forgetting the welfare of its children has cut educational appropriation from 33% million dollars in 1930 to 21% million dollars in 1933. This reduction, more than 35 per cent, will have inevitably disastrous consequences. On the school cost basis of 1931, current appropriations will enable schools to remain open only until the second week in January. The reduced cost basis of last year will prolong the term only until the third week of February. The loss of potential power accrued to the state by the education of its children will be tremendous. The collapse of the school system will without a doubt mean the collapse of other democratic institutions. Winter Budget Completed By Control Board Candy And Ice Cream Are On Cash Basis At School Store Put Survey by Northwest Viking Shows Candidates Nominated by Students Have Varied Interests in Affairs When a survey of the successful nominees was made, it was discover-plays. At present she is managing editor of the Viking. Her other main Richardson and Millikan Win Prexy Primary Nominations; Hartley and Smith are Choice Co-op Gets Register Recreational Program Discussed At Board Meeting Further reduction of the already minute salaries of teachers is assured unless the legislature chooses to devise means of providing revenue. Last year twenty-two teachers received less than three hundred dollars for the year's servces. Fifteen of these received less than two hundred dollars. Eleven hundred and thirty-nine teachers received less than the extinct NRA minimum for 52 weeks under the President's agreement. 2,342 teachers receive less than the lowest paid vendor in a state liquor store. The training for state liquor vendors is aptly .described by H. L. Mencken, who once asked one of them the nature of a dry wine. That worthy replied, "One that isn't wettish." Winter quarter's budget of student fees was presented and accepted by the Board of Control at their regular meeting held last Wednesday afternoon. Men's athletics was given $3 per student ticket, while the social fund and Northwest Viking received $1, and women's athletics and the division of drama received $.25. The budget was figured on an enrollment of 630 full-credit students. Special students are not required to purchase activities tickets. Dr. A. C. Hicks presented to the board a report of the recreational program committee. The program was discussed by the board members, and the secretary was instructed to order equipment v/hich was suggested as necessary by the committee. Final action of the board will be taken at next week's meeting. Charges Limited To take effect immediately was the motion which permits no students to put candy or ice-cream purchases on their Co-op bill. The board also authorized the purchase of a suitable cash register to replace the inadequate register now in use. Rec hour tryouts of orchestras were postponed one week. Students will vote on February 1 which orchestra they wish to play for the remainder of the quarter. A union orchestra will play this afternoon. The board plans to make a few changes in the by-laws after the elections. o ed that many of the candidates orig- interest is golf, inally came from other countries, i Bob Hartley is in his eighth quar- Other facts about them have beenjter at Normal.

Since coming to Normal, Richardson has had prominent positions. Last year he was editor of the Klipsun, and is at present secretary of the Board of Control. He works part time at the Co-op. Gordon Millikan, the other successful nominee, is now in his fifth quarter at Normal. He comes from Pateros, Washington. Millikan has become prominently associated with clubs and he is now president of the Social Science club, and vice president of the Inter-club council. Vice-President A contribution of Fairhaven is Nancy Jane Smith, candidate for vice-president. This is Miss Smith's fifth quarter at school, and since coming, she has been in several and studying. He is employed at the Normal library. Four-Quarter Representative Although born in Norway, Oscar Svarlien was graduated from Fair-haven high school. This is his fifth quarter, and he is employed under the FERA. His main hobby is hiking. The WAA candidate, Agnes Martin, comes to us from Canada. She is reputed to be an excellent swimmer and tennis player. Four-Quarter Representative Blanche Pearce, who comes from Burlington, is another "foreigner", for she was born in England. She is a second-quarter sophomore, and is a candidate of the YWCA. Born in Red Deer, Alberta, Louise Schulz came to this country and was graduated from Whatcom high school. This is Miss Scl;ulz's eighth quarter.

In Governor Clarence D. Martin's budget, submitted to the legislature, he recommended a biennium appropriation of $428,000 and a building appropriation of $218,500, for Bellingham Normal. Shakespearean Drama Offered "Twelfth Night" To Be Presented As Quarterly Production Of Drama Club Council Will Discuss Luncheons, Conflicts; New Ruling Effective Demagogues may blat about "teachers' ideals of social service, not salary," but what self-respecting human is willing to train three years to enter a profession which pays less than twenty-five dollars a month? "Big fleas have little fleas and ministers have secretaries." Louis Shaffer, dynamic wart on the incumbent board's proboscis, wants to be little flea to the next Board of Control. Elect him, new board, but first stretch a piece of adhesive tape tightly from his nose to his chin. Luncheons for assembly speakers and conflicts in club calendars are the issues to be discussed at the Inter-Club council meeting January 30. Conflicts have resulted in club calendars because of the basketball schedule. These conflicts may necessitate minor changes in the calendars. It has been recently decided by the council that if the representative of a club misss two successive meetings that club will no longer remain approved. o — Moffett To Present Alkisiah Club History With all the political criticism of the expense for the annual and all the dirty slaps at the editor of that publication, no one has as yet suggested a means whereby its expense to the students might be reduced. May we, while gently hinting at the inanity of intending to do a thing without knowing how, suggest a remedy for the much criticised ills? Give the business manager something to do other than signing contracts and requisitions. Devote a section at the back of the annual to advertising. Bellingham merchants are wild to give themselves publicity there. By giving them what they want the cost to the students might be reduced to little over one dollar. On next Monday evening, the Alkisiah club will hold its regular meeting in the club room of Edens hall. The gathering will be in the nature of a review of the history of the club, which is the oldest organization of its kind in this school. The feature of Monday night's meeting will be an address by Miss Mildred Moffett, who will speak on the subject, "The History of the Traditions of Alkisiah". Frisby Fresk has an unusual way of requestng food at the dorm. Passing his plate, he says: "Will you potato me, please?" "Will you meat me, please?" "Will you carrot me, please?" ' B u t - . _ \ ; ' / . . : " ' '!,'.•;.'' ;'. V'':"' "Will you pour me a glass of milk, please?" Normal Carpenter Shop Is Completely Demolished Damages amounting to approximately $2,000 were counted at the Normal school late Monday night. The warming weather melted the snow, dislodging rocks which were sent crashing down Sehome onto the carpenter shop, which is located at the foot of the hill. The building which is comparatively new was completely destroyed. Work has been started towards clearing up the ruins, as there are a few things worth salvaging. gt;: Investigations have been made as to the possibilities of another slide so that measures may be taken to prevent another costly disaster. Building To Be Erected Of the $218,500, $200,000 will be used for the long-dreamed-of physical education building. The $18,- 500, if obtained, will be used for a new roof on the main building, and for work on the new athletic field. This recommendation was made with the proviso that state and federal building money is available. President C. H. Fisher expressed satisfaction over the governor's two-year appropriation recommendation. This amount is for salaries, wages, and operations. The recommendation was about $40,000 less than the board asked, but it is about $85,000 more than was allowed for the present biennium. o Mc Ilvain Prefers Pottery to Paintings Southwestern Indianfc have recently been called the real pioneers in art. In California, Arizona, and Nevada many cliffs and rocks are painted with surrealistic paintings done with special oils. The Indians believe these pictures to be done by "spirit painters", but scientists today accredit this super-natural work to the nightly visits of the medicine man. "Since these pictures have, little logic and no plan of construction, they have little value in real art," states Miss Dorothy Mcllvain. art instructor. "Personally, I admire Indian pottery and much of then-talent, but surrealistic painting has no meaning to me." o New Student Officials May Expect Initiation Following its usual custom, the Board of Control will give a banquet for its members sometime later in the quarter. Christine Albers will be in charge of the affair, which will be held at a down town hotel. Each quarter, in the past, the board has been in the habit of holding some sort of social function honoring the members of that body, and this quarter, it will honor not only the old members, but the new ones as well, and will probably take I the form of an initiation for them. By V. H. Hoppe There are four reasons why the department of Drama should produce "Twelveth Night", or any Shakespearean play. The first is because Hollywood doesn't. Practically all modern plays are being screened by the movies and amateurs cannot produce until the screen version is released. The second reason is that Shakespeare should be kept alive by the schools. The best method of appreciating Shakespeare is to enact his plays. Thirdly, "the play's the thing" after all. These old plays are still vital ---------- Northwest Viking - 1935 January 25 - Page 2 ---------- WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM.

Relaxation? Here's How Next week we will probably have our first chance to enter into and pass judgment on the new recreational program. The program, drawn up by the recreational committee, ofters an excellent chance for students to become interested in activities which may help them in their teaching field. The basic idea of the program, as explained by the backers when they introduced it before the Board of Control last quarter is simple. It is to round out the social life of those students in school who do not dance Previous to this time no recreational program has been offered non-dancers, although there have occasionally been a few bridge tables set up in one corner of the dance floor. However it was far more conspicuous for a few to play bridge all evening than to stay away entirely. The class parties are all dance affairs, while most of the school organizations sponsor dances once a quarter. All this made it impossible for many students to meet school associates away from me school setting, or outside of the decidedly limited club affairs. The W club steps from the beaten trail tonight when they sponsor a roller skating party. This type of affair as a school function comes seldom, but appears to be a bright idea to credit to the athletes. "Executioner Waits" Grampus' Weather "Glacial ice sheet halted by a cloudy south wind, but damage is heavy up north at Ferndale. Natives drink fire water to keep warm. Barton and Daniels go— " roars greasy weather Grampus. I had to ban the last of that on account of Prosh. This was to be a "Grampus's" article, but me-thinks I must add, "Damage to education irreparable when Normal is closed for twenty-four hours because of a wind from Siberia"—personally, I thought it was from the northeast but I'm scared of public opin- i ion. To return to Grampus, my frost bitten readers, there he sits toast-in' his shins by' the proverbial stove like ah oven bird. His whiskers quiver and he speaks, "Wall, squirt," that's what he always calls me— "these icycles are nigh on to as bad as the ones that we had in the winter of, Oh—le'me see, wall, the winter of eighty-five." "But it's raining now," Grampus. "So it is, squirt, many a winter I've spent on a raft just going up and down with the rain, this is the rainiest region." "Aw, now Grampus, if it was as cold as you said; it would always have been ice back in 1885." "Many a time I've had to chop holes in the ice to give the old Nooksack a chance to run," says. o As can be seen from the above, skates have been the cause of this three-point landing, and they will probably be the cause of many tonight, at the big skating party, being given by the W club. If you can's skate, come and learn. If you can, come anyway! *es Looking Thru Reasonless Rhymes By Who Knows Little Jack Horner Sat in a corner Eating his Christmas pie, He stuck in his thumb And pulled out a plum And said "How'm I doin'?" he Reaching For The Stars There was a crooked man, Who walked a crooked mile, He found a crooked sixpence Against a crooked stile.

By Wilson Waylett in this novel, telling of the disintegration of the Traxlers, because of petty internecine squabbles and growing poverty, many will find striking parallels to their own family history. The book begins with illness falling on Aaron Trexler, and placing him at the mercy of a wife, Sally, who hates him. It is to rescue some of his estate from her that his sister, Anne Wendel, comes to his bedside and cares for him. But after his death the settling of the estate drags interminably and Anne dies, having reaped scarcely any of the benefits she had hoped for herself and hers. In general the author does an exxcellent job of depicting the family as a group and arranging their various relationships, but many of the individual members do not leave a definite impression. However, Anne Wendel seems remarkably real, probably because Herbst's earthy metaphors relate so well to ; her character. Anne's daughters, particularly the two younger, receive more attention than any other members of the third generation. Each is a distinctly superior sort of person but neither's frantic struggle for happiness is very successful. Rosamund, defeated by poverty, goes to a suicidal death, while he husband seeks salvation in the working class movement. The other sister, Vicky, with her lover tries the ivory tower escape but finds it inadequate, and we are made aware : that her course will probably follow that of Rosamund's husband. Even David Trexler, most well-to-do of Anne's brothers, feels a dark foreboding as the depression begins. Warned by his ill health that he has little time left, he fears the impending crisis will wipe away the estate he has spent his life building. The last scene leaves one with the feeling that a change in conditions is brewing; the "masters of capital" have danced long enough, "the executioner waits at the door." By Smith and Simonds Substitute a transportation manager for Clark Gable and a script girl for Loretta Young, add a whiff of Oakie and what have you? The sum total is a psuedo-interview with these movie stars. We succeeded in worming our way through the throngs of fans, only to be met by an adamant desk clerk who, in a disinterested voice, and with words bearing a quality of repetition, informed us that the actors were not at the hotel. Under pressure he admitted that Oakie and Gable were in but both had retired Shortly afterwards, however, Oakie walked gaily in, garbed a la "Call of the Wild"; a benevolent smile for all, and autographs for a few About ten o'clock Gable dashed through the lobby on his way to a secluded restaurant. Reporters Desperate Desperate at failure to contact any other notables, we cornered the man in charge of transportation who, declining an interview, said that chauffeuring for Gable was no more of a thrill than doing the same for a couple of Viking reporters, which puts us on an equal with movie stars. Now for the script girl, BODS Hoaglund, a very blonde blonde, with a lovely speaking voice, who told us the reactions of the company to the trip and the climatic conditions here. This being the first real-life action picture many of them had ever witnessed, they were much agog about it all.- Gable Fishes Gable, an enthusiastic Isaac Wal-tonite, intends to hook some steel-heads while in this vicinity.

WASHINGTON a OE Remember the W Club Smoker 301 IOE Viki ing aoi Varsity Plays Cheney Tonight aoi IOE What's The Score By By Phil Campbell The question of having boating or crew as a sport in this school was brought into prominence this week with the reverting of Waldo field into a real lake. It was suggested that the track in front of the grandstand would make an ideal straight-a-way for a good boat race. Incidentally tke purchase of the tract at Lake Whatcom, known as Normalstad, was done with the idea that someday the WSNS could have a crew of its own. Possibly when the school gets back on its feet financially this question may be brought up, at least a course in boating would add variety to the sports program. * # * * When the Vikings face the El-lensburg Wildcats and the Cheney Savages this week they will be running up against two of the classiest basket squads in the state. Cheney has met just about everything in the eastern part of the state and has beaten all but WSC. The Savages knocked over the Idaho Vandals, the team that beat the U of W, and forced the WSC Cougars to rally in the last few minutes to win. Coach Leo Nicholson's Ellensburg Wildcats are as wild as ever this year and have an impressive early season record. Last year they caused the Vikings plenty of worry when they defeated them 42-21 over at the Rodeo city only to come back over here for their return game and narrowly missed getting scalped. Nicholson centers his attack around Sesby, Sill and Marks, three of his outstanding players. * * * * The Northwest Vikings continued to slip in the intramural race this week by taking their second straight trimming-, this time at the hands of Jim Ahern's Portsiders. The loss of Stone and Carver is beginning to be felt and coupled with the inability of Kean and Hager to take part in the games^ consistently the Vikings are liable to find themselves too close to the cellar before the race is over. Vikings Journey East in Face Of Storm and Floods; Battle Cheney Five Tomorrow Night The Tomahawks, a boy's service club at Cheney, is donating a basketball award that is to be known as the Tomahawk tri-Normal Basketball trophy. The school that wins it three years in succession will have permanent possession of it. The awarding of this trophy should serve to stimulate teams to greater heights. * * * * Did you know that it was not Connie Mack, but his son Earl Mack, who originated thje recent tour to Japan and that Earl did all the planning for the tour? At the last moment he was unable to make the trip and so Connie Mack got all the credit... The players did not forget him, however, and in appreciation they sent - him a wrist watch from Japan. * * * * * Prom now on this column promises not to mention the Northwest Viking intramural team but once during the remainder of the quarter. This note should relieve some of the few readers of this column. o Squad Left Wednesday; Tangled With Ellensburg In Season Opener Last Night Nine Players Make Trip Team Will Meet Cheney Outfit on Home Court, January 31 The Vikings were defeated last night, 33 to 22, by the Ellensburg Wildcats at Ellensburg. Bud Vander Griend was high man for the lcals with 8 points. Undaunted by Mother Nature's adversities now on display, Coach C. F. Lappesbusch headed each last Wednesday with his band of casaba tossers to meet the strong Ellensburg and Cheney fives. This is the first extended tour for the Vikings this season, and will mark the opening of the tri-normal race for them. The hopeful Norsemen expected to reach Ellensburg in time to tangle with the Wildcats Thursday night. Prom there they will entrain for Cheney and the Saturday night engagement with the Savages. Both Ellensburg and Cheney have reputedly strong teams this year and Coach Lappenbusch did not hesitate to voice his respect for them. However, he has been pleased by the showing of the Vikings to date and hopes for at least a fifty-fifty break on the trip. Harold Fitzer's return to school and to the squad has added considerably to the strength of the team, especially offensively. His deadly shooting eye is always a dangerous threat to the opposition. The work of Zambas at guard and Dick Car ver at center has also been a bright spot on the Viking's outlook. thers who made the jaunt were Vander Griend, Dombroski, Stutz, McKenzie, Taylor, Gagnon, and Manager Ace Winsor. Teams Compared Some conclusion as to the relative strengths of Ellensburg and Bellingham may be drawn from the fact that the Wildcats nosed out the University of British Columbia quintet several weeks ago. The Vikings were defeated by UBC last Friday, 33 ot 29. Sesby and Marks have been the two scoring aces of the Ellensburg five thus far this season, and will have to be bottled up if the Vikings expect to come away with a victory there. Cheney's team basts of three veterans, Peterson, Danekas, and Rebensdorf. Eustace, extremely tall center, and Kerns at guard complete this strong layout. But there will be no rest for the weary Vikings when they return home again, for they will have two heavy assignments for the coming week-end bearing down on them like a Femdale silver thaw. They are slated to tangle with the Cheney Savages again Thursday night, January 31, at home. This will be the first conference game at home, and should be a bangout tussle for the fans to witness. o Men's Club Win Over Scotchmen By Large Score I n a fast and interesting game played last Tuesday the Men's club won over the Scotchmen by a decisive score of 40-23. The Highlanders gave the Clubmen a battle for about ten minutes of the first half, but at this point the "big guns" of the club started to find the range, and the score took a one-sided effect. Starlund again was among the high scorers with 10 points, but his work was overshadowed by the basket tossing of his teammates, Oltman and Stockton, who garnered 11 markers each, and that of Stuur-man, of the Scotties, who was high man with 12.

The game was closer than the score indicates and was one of the best seen this year. Half time found the reporters leading by a one-point margin, 11 to 10. However, with Meyer and Goff scoring, the Southpaws jumped into a lead from which they were never headed. The newsmen managed to tie the count at 17 all, but that was their last threat.

Miss Wasterlain, who is a member of the Seattle Symphony orchestra, has appeared before the Normal assembly several times in the past. o Women's PE Class Schedule Is Changed Due to a conflict of space and classes, the women's physical educa tion schedule has been changed for the winter quarter. Miss Ruth Weythman's games class that was held on Tuesday and Thursday at 2 o'clock, has been discontinued. The rhythm class formerly taught at 2 o'clock on Tuesday and Thursday is now being held on Wednesday and Friday at 2. Miss Mildred Jewell has charge of this class. All women's physical education is taught in the large gym, leaving the small gym entirely for the men. Believing that the peace and dignity of the school can be greatly furthered by the acceptance of more responsibility and a greater co-operation among the students, I, President C. H. Fisher, do hereby create, at the request of the Student Committee on Traditions, a judiciary and advisory body to be known as the Senior Honor Court, the duties and privileges of which are set forth by the committee." This is the purpose of the preamble as stated by President Fisher. This Senior Honor Court is to be composed of five members, two of which will be selected by the faculty from the Junior-Senior class. Two will be elected by secret ballot, and one member shall be president of the class. This Honor Court will have jurisdiction over all members of the student body. It will accept any and all evidence or testimony presented to the court by any and all parties concerned and weigh it with consideration. Board Will Decide On New Program Next week the Board of Control will pass on the new Recreational Program. The program is in charge i of Christine Albers of the students, and Dr. Arthur C. Hicks, of the faculty. The west end of Edens hall will be the scene of this new program. Ping pong and card tables will be installed. Other necessary equipment will also be purchased. This plan will be in operation from, six forty-five to eight o'clock on Mondays to Thursdays, inclusive, and from seven to eleven o'clock on Friday evenings. No designated time,has been set for Saturdays and Sundays. Big Frolic Tonight At Auditorium Has W Men's Backing Party for Normal Skaters Will Be Sponsored by Athletes At Local Rink With the husky heroes of the W club as sponsors, the skating party to be held tonight at the State Street auditorium should be a success. And especially so' if the sponsors are on hand when the doors open at 8 o'clock. So all those maidens who haven't yet met certain blue - sweatered ideals are advised to get their tickets at the Co-op right away. They are 15 cents. When accosted by a, reporter on the subject the members of the committee were strangely noncommittal. They said they expected it to be '"lots of fun" and that they hoped students would "start buying tickets right away." The order and nature of events is a secret to be divulged tonight. o Viking Staff Planning A Week-end Party At Baker Cabin in Glacier February 1, 2, 3, are the dates set for the Viking week-end party to be held at the Mt.
