XXXIII—NO. 20 WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Frday, March I, 1935 Board Appoints Emil Starlund Dance Teacher Joe Hager Compiles Administrative Calendar For ASB Organization McKee To Play March 8 Nancy Jane Smith Is Chairman of Awards Committee Besides appointing Emil Starlund instructor of the dancing class which is being formed in connection with the ASB's new recreation program, the Board of Control created three committees to work out suggestions offered by the committee on by-laws, and discussed orchestras, requisitions and business procedure at their last meeting, Wednesday, February 27. Starlund has had three years experience teaching dancing in Monroe, Sultan, and Snohomish. By his system, each student who signs up for the class will take at least four lessons. The time and place has not as yet been definitely announced. Upon Starlund's recommendation, the Board named Naomi Watson as his assistant. Committees Appointed President Gordon Milikan appointed three chairmen: Joe Hager, a committee to compile an administrative calendar showing the functions and powers of the Board; and Nancy Smith on an awards committee. It was decided to hire Mel Mc- Kee's orchestra for the rec hour on March 8. Jack Burns' music will be heard at this afternoon's dance. Final decision on requisitions was deferred until the next meeting. — o I Norjnalite POOL a * * * PENCILS * * * * POETRY By James Joyce Jones and Sherwood Anderson Allan Dame Rumor's husband has it that some notable students are about to petition a pool table into one end of Edens hall. They feel that it could both be used as a gathering place for the inmates (there would be no danger of fire that way) and a "49ers" boom for the recreational program. Well, there will come a day. WSNS A new course in Library has been suggested* much to the pleasure of the freshmen, who seem to get a certain gloomy satisfaction from their expeditions into the gloomy recesses of this monastic pile, which just reeks with knowledge—so I've heard—, the acumen of seventy civilized centuries about! My, my, think I'll lake a walk. WSNS Pencils, typewriters, typesetters, black ink, and a few more words are added to the billions of paragraphs published every Friday for the perusal of the critical but perhaps apathetic eyes of the great American public. In other words, Mr. Arntzen's national debt and Dr. Bond's millions of little white skeletons that go to make a small chalk line on the board have nothing over the number of words printed in the New York Times, The Northwest Viking, and other publications. The same verbs are used by Hearst's Brisbane and Will Rogers, but what a whale of a difference the context makes. The moral is always write clear, concise sentences. -WSNS It's about time to have some poetry about Milady's eyebrow, at least the orange blossoms perfume the air in Florida. Is it spring or isn't it? Well, where are our Longf ellows then? Just slide your contributions under the Viking office door at 7 next Tuesday morning.

H. Fisher left Bel-lingham Tuesday, February 26, for Olympia. The main purpose of his trip is to see about appropriations for salaries, running expenses, and the new Physical Education building. While he is in Olympia President Fisher will also consider the advisability of introducing a bill which is designed to change the official title of the Normal school. The proposed name is Western Washington College of Education. President Fisher will return to Bellingham at the end of the week. Heaney Exhibition Shown Next Week Black and white block prints by Charles Heaney, Portland artist, are being shown in room 305 of the Art department. All students are asked to see this exhibition only when the room is vacant. - ^ The exhibition will be continued next week. Tuesday evening, from 7 to 9 o'clock, the display will be open to the public. —o- Beiswenger Will Speak At Blue Triangle Club Miss Anna Beiswenger, supervisor of FERA work in Whatcom and Skagit counties, will speak to the Blue Triangle club on "Adult Education" at the March 6 meeting. The meeting lt;will be held at 7:30 in the clubhouse. Anyone interested is invited to be present. Miss Beiswenger is a former member of the Normal faculty. Compulsory Training Measure Is Defeated A bill to prohibit compulsory military training at the normal schools, University of Washington, Washington State college, and other public institutions was considered defeated last Wednesday when a motion to put it on the house calendar was killed. The measure would have prohibited compulsory training in any public school, but would have allowed optional training at the institutions of higher learning. Vikings To Clash With PLC Team At Eight Tonight Lutherans Have Impressive Record For This Season's Play; Use Zone Defense Facing a squad that has won sixteen out of twenty games this year, the Viking basketeers tangle with the Pacific Lutheran quintet tonight on the Whatcom high school maple court. Last Saturday the Norsemen tripped up this team by a score of 27-24, and the Lutherans are determined to reverse that score tonight. Coach Cliff Olson has moulded an experienced, fast-breaking aggregation that has marked up an impressive record this year. It will be remembered that the Ellensburg squad was forced to go an overtime period before they could defeat these stubborn Lutheranites. Lutherans Use Zone Defense Not only will the fans see a fast game offensively but they will also witness a new type of defensive play. Coach Olson's squad uses the zone defense style of play, a type of basketball seldom seen in these parts. (Continued on Page Three) Vancouver Audience Criticizes Favorably Following her appearance before the Women's Music club of Vancouver two weeks ago, Miss Christine Albers, Normal student and prominent local pianist, was favorably criticised by two Vancouver newspapers. Miss Albers is scheduled to present a program in the March 5 assembly. The write-up in the Vancouver Sun stated: "Miss Albers played in musicianly style, giving evidence of technical ability and a real flare for tone coloring. The pianist was extremely successful in her interpretation of the Debussy numbers in which she created a characteristic atmosphere, playing with pleasing touch and rhythmic feeling:" The article appearing in the Vancouver Daily Province stated: "Very acceptable contributions were presented by Miss Albers, a young pianist who delighted listeners in Mendelssohn and Debussy numbers." Miss Albers has appeared in many recitals in Bellingham. She is organist at the First Presbyterian church. New Board Members Quizzed Shulz Likes To Cook and Watch Portsiders Play Basketball; Svarlein Refuses To State Future Plans . By Ruth Carmichael "Just sit on a cushion and sew A fine seam, feast upon strawberries Sugar and—well better make it skim milk," was the snappy reply from Louise Shulz, Board of Control representative, when asked what,she enjoyed doing. On more definite inquiry as to whether she can sew she evades the question with, "Oh, sew and sew." As for cooking, Miss Shulz brags she early learned that the shortest route to a man's heart is through his stomach. Miss Shulz says a favorite pastime is listening to Guy Lombardo's orchestra and watching the Portsiders play basketball. Svarlien Prefers Solitude Oscar Svarlein, the other Board representative elected this quarter, insists that he doesn't prefer solitude because of any superciliousness on his part but because people seldom agree with,him, and it is easier to leave others alone than to spend precious time convincing them of their mistakes Svarlein continues with, "I would hesitate before stating definitely as to what I intend doing in '••he future, because if I even say I am going to do a thing I feel obliged to continue, though I have changed my plans. You see, I've a horror of beng accused of being incapable of completing my plans." Committee Meets For Discussion Faculty Suggestions for Revision Of Honor Court Charter Are Discussed To discuss the rewriting of the senior honor court charter, members of the charter committee met with faculty representatives last night. The suggestions which the faculty had previously presented were discussed, and the weaknesses in the charter analyzed. The original charter was drafted by the Men's club committee on traditions. Members of the committee appointed by Bill Frender, Men's club president, are: President C. H. Fisher, H. C. Ruckmick, V. H. Hoppe, W. J. Marquis, Harry Win-sor, and Clyde Kendall. The charter will be rewritten and submitted at a future meeting. Tournaments Start In Chess, Pinochle By Roberta Thygeson "I challenge anyone in this school to a game of chess", so stated Mr. Arntzen at the last Board of Control meeting, so come on you chess players and let's determine the winner. Tournaments of all sorts "will begin next week in conjunction with the Recreational program at Edens hall. "The schedule for the games was completed today", said Louis Shaffer, "and we hope to get some of them started tonight". Pinochle will take the longest to play, off, since more students have signed up for that than for any other game. By Wednesday noon the following had signed up for chess: Wilson Waylett, Harry Winsor, Leonard Carroll, Oscar Starlund, Jerry Ja-cobson, Pat Allan, and Ralph Shen-enberger. Auction bridge and checkers will also be played and it is hoped that much enthusiasm will be aroused. Talented Dramatist Wins Favor With Monologues Normal school students were again favored by Miss Dorothy Crawford, who appeared in a program of monologues in last Tuesday's assembly. Miss Crawford first sketched a lively-witted English charwoman in a burglary scene. Donning an apron, she gave a characterization which won instant applause. "The Fisherman's Wharf", combining pathos with humor, and "The Golfer", initial performance of a self-confident beginner, were repeated by request. Women s League To Secure Seattle Talent For March Program Authentic Japanese tea ceremony or a debate on munitions are two of the possibilities for entertainment to be provided at the next Women's League assembly program, March 8. Evelyn Larson, Women's League vice-president, has written to the Japanese consul in Seattle to secure the first feature.

Broadcasters Cast Out Education Broadcasts of educational material, or programs of an educational nature are not an innovation to radio. For many years the large broadcasting networks have co-operated with the school systems in a degree by releasing programs that were educationally beneficial to. the public. ,;Recently, however, there has been much agitation between the national committee on education by radio and the station owners. It is a fact that radio sponsors have not been so keen about contracting programs of an educational nature. Because of this such programs have been entirely at the mercy of the stations, for time for broadcasts. It has been pointed out that educational broadcasts appeal to the more substantial type of citizens. Why should the radio public allow stations to operate with nothing but "advertising. programs" ? Readers do not allow newspapers to thrive with nothing but advertising to hold their interest. Education really has something of a high caliber to offer broadcasters, but until the time comes when people revolt against continuous advertising stunts, worthwhile programs will continue going down the stream of hope waiting for their chance to be the river of the future. Chess and Checkers are Main Events America By Elmer Lade According to the song writers: A slowly meandering river, along whose banks dwell 120,000,000 melancholy, moonstruck Peter Pans who are all positively that way about each other. —to the advertisers: A mass of good natured morons who will buy and buy if only you succeed in making your product ridiculous enough. (Incidentally, let's fire a salute, and hope our aim isn't too bad, in honor of the manufacturers of Camel cigarettes for having invented the finest piece of advertising idiocy in many a day.) —to Mr. Hearst: A treasure house of truth and grand tradition, beset on all sides by dangerous madmen, but, happily, under the guardianship of good St. William. —to the modern novelists: Smoke muffled hum and the stabbing persistency of revolving wheels.

It's guaranteed to be tame, but there's always the chance that something might happen. And. why not stay for the Varsity game also? It should be a spirited evening's enjoyment without added cost. Predictions Come True Eleven years ago the Weekly Messenger (Northwest Viking) appeared as a leap year number, being published on February 29. At that time predictions were made on events that would transpire before the next February 2 9 issue will be printed, which will be in 1952. We still believe that this is an age of speed. The following predictions are the most timely: : Men will comprise one-eighth of the student-body population. ASB tickets will not be transferable. Freshmen class meetings will be business-like. There will be some new'tennis courts. The Sehome hill cable car will run every 15 minutes. ; There will be a place to sit down in the library. . There will, be some fresh air in assemblies. —to Gertrude Stein: Is blurt blurt Is blurt is blah Blah blurt blurt blah It must have been moonglow. Normalite (Continued from Page One) the bulletin with. It's a great way to get closely acquainted with the important people. Why doesn't the recreational program get Mr. Arnt-zen and — lt;?—to set up a chess table at the foot of the main stairs? It pays to advertise, and oh, you Kibitzers! WSNS Six nights away is the "Twelfth Night". Sounds like Aylmer Bright's formula representing his debt to society—a circle with a negative radius. "Or What You Will" comes just below the "Twelfth Night" business. It's all right to say we will, but suppose we' don't? WSNS It's silly. A herd of teachers in the East demand the right to openly discuss economic alternatives to capitalism. A herd ' of future teachers here in Bellingham demand the right to fritter away their gilded hours in the north end of the dining room at Edens hall. We look back with a bit of nostalgia at the Spartans, gleefully tossing misfits over cliffs and things. W S N S— But the touch heroic came when .

You're right—it's the all-college chess and checker tournament. The only requirements for entering these contests are the much-talked-of self-confidence, courage, and determination to succeed. Auction bridge players are also going to try their hands (a pun) in a tournament, but conspicuously absent is one in contract bridge. It would seem that recreational program devotees are a bit behind the times or else they are just reverting As one of tne faculty members, Edward J. (in person) Arntzen, is the main challenger in the chess contest, it promises to wage more hot and heavy than the others. Two of Mr. Arntzen's most threatening opponents will be Oscar Svarlien and Wilson Waylett, who are now secretly girding themselves for the fray. Pinochle, that game which is played minus a few cards in the deck, is going to have a tournament all of its own too, and the entries for that are certainly numerous (Yes, and aren't there a lot of them?). Of secondary importance is the kibitzing tournament, which is being held in connection with the others, for what is any game without a kibitzer? And after all this we loudly shout, "Where does poker come in?" o Proper Conduct By Emil Post The following hints on proper etiquette for varying occasions have been composed after a long and careful study. If you follow these little gems of wisdom carefully, you are sure to be popular wherever you may go. In conversing with sophisticated girls of short acquaintance, always avoid calling them "Miss", as this tends to make them believe that you are trying to be aloof. Always call the more reserved ones "Babe", or "Tutz", and chuck them playfully under the chin. This lowers their guard (especially if you lead with your left), and seldom fails to crack the ice. A few sparkling comments like, "Urn — humm — nice weather", or "Um—humm—terrible weather", or "Um — humm — fair weather", is sufficient to reduce the already cracked ice to*a mere lukewarm slush. v If you step on a girl's feet while dancing, let her apologize while you sneer faintly. If it happens too often, the best thing to do is to tell her that while you are perfectly willing that she may ride on your feet, would she please quit stepping on and off as it ruins your otherwise perfect balance. In helping her on with her coat, always hold the sleeves at the elbow, so that her arms will be unable to go through. This shows that you have a sense of humor and are a good sport. If, at a dinner • party, you spill soup on the host's' head, trip the waiter, or get caught kissing the maid, don't apologize as this indicates that you can't take it. Merely look nonchalant, light a Murad (paid adv.) and make a clever pun including remarks about soup to nuts, dumb waiters, or matching lipstick. If you try all these and are still not a social success, better take the next bus back to Bronx, as we fear that your case must be hopeless. Harvard authorities are checking up on that famous Harvard^ accent. They are making phonograph records of freshmen's voices, and then another when they graduate or leave. This may not be Harvard but still you must admit it's a good idea. ~ This note of encouragement for pauperized pursuers of knowledge appeared in the Southwest Standard: The seniors should worry—egad! It's only some nineteen more weeks until they can get on relief. Are seniors dumber than freshmen ? In an investigation made by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of ---------- Northwest Viking - 1935 March 1 - Page 3 ---------- WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Short Shots at SPORTS Bob Lindsley Led by Captain Joe Hager, the 1935 all-star intramural team presents a lineup that includes high scoring, good passing, and plenty of checking ability. Hager, unanimously picked as guard, was named to lead the stars because hq is the only one to crash this select group for the second consecutive year. Two men from the Northwest Viking, and one each from the Southpaws, Daniels, and the Men's club make up the personnel of the.first team. The second five includes one each from Daniel's, Scotchmen, Barton's, Co-op, and Men's club. The two teams as selected by the all-star board of Coach Sam Carver, Louis Shaffer, and your correspondent are as follows: First Team Second Team Singer, P .F..Alexander, Co-op DeVries, NWV....F.... Stuurmans, SC; Starlund, MC C Frender, D. Ames, D G. Oltman, MC Hager, NWV ,_...G J. Jacobsen, D. Vikings Will Play Final Game With Vancouver Team University of British Columbia Have Strong Team; Center Scores High The center position proved to be the easiest selection to make as Starlund stood out head and shoulders above the rest of ,the candidates. Although a natural forward, Starlund was forced to play center on his team and finished well up in the scoring lists of the season, outplaying practically every one of his opponents. He is plenty fast, aggressive, and possesses a deadly shooting eye. Frender played only the last half of the season and was one of the mainstays of the Daniels squad. He is big and rugged enough but lacks the scoring punch to rate first team selection. Vikim gs Trounce Yakima Basksteers Carver Stars in Viking Attack; Plays Bewilder Visitors Picking the forwards was the toughest job the board faced because of the over-abundance of outstanding players. The problem finally narrowed down to Singer, DeVries, Alexander, and, Stuurmans as the most outstanding. DeVries was selected on his all-around playing. He was generally conceded to be the best floor man in the league, and averaged seven points per game in the scoring department Singer, the sparkplug of the Portsiders, was given the call over Alexander and Stuurmans in view of his ball-hawking and general aggressiveness. He gave the greatest single exhibition of the season in the Bartons game. Under terrific bombardment by the heavy artillery of Carver, Van-der Griend.and Dombroski, the Yakima Junior college five was completely submerged in the short end of the 53-27 score on the Whatcom floor last Thursday night. Running away from a 13-13 tie in the early part of the contest, the Northmen settled down to a 27-18 lead at intermission, finally to end the battle on top of the 53-27 tally. Viking Plays Work Although the play was individually ragged, the tutors executed their plays to great advantage. The apple pickers lost much time in attempting to follow the intricate deception of the Normalites. Carver led the scorers with 17 points, while Vander Griend and Dombroski nailed up 12 and 9, respectively. "Silent" Dan Gagnon looked good in holding Fewell, lanky six-foot-six Yakima forward, to a half dozen markers. Summary: Yakima, 27 Normal, 53 Fewell, 6 F..Vandergriend, 12 Larrabee, 5 F Fitzer, 3 McGordon, 3 C Carver, 17 Nultey, 1 G Zambas, 3 Nelson, 3 G Stutz, 5 Substitutes — Yakima, Smith 5, Shearer 4, McCoy; Normal, Dombroski 9, Gagnon 5, Taylor, Edwards, Dorr. Intent on regaining the honors taken from them in an early season game in Vancouver, the Vikings will tangle with the University of British Columbia in a return game at the Whatcom high school gymnasium Tuesday, March 6. This is the last game for the Vikings. The game was originally scheduled for March 1, but the Canadians are playing in a city championship tournament in Vancouver That the Canadian quintet is a strong team is indicated by its game with Ellens-burg. The Wildcats were extended to an overtime period before they won. Portsiders Lose First Game 21-16; Come Back to Win Second 25-14,Sending Series For Championship Title Into Third Battle Southpaws Hit Their Stride And Even Score With Newsmen; Third Game Monday Center Is Dangerous The University of British Columbia features a good passing attack. The same players have been playing together for three years. Henderson, who scored 14 points in the last game with the Vikings is the most dangerous man in the Canadian line-up. The Canadians won their game from the Vikings by a 33-29 score, conserving a lead taken early in the game. At one time the quintet from Vancouver had a 12-4 lead. Coach Chuck Lappenbusch will start Dombroski and Fitzer at forwards, Carver at center, and Stutz and Zambas in the guard position. Gagnon the Viking speedster, will be held in reserve for this game until Coach Lappenbusch picks a player for Gagnon to check. Henderson Against Carver Willouthley and Barthley will be the starting forwards for the University of British Columbia. The guards will be Mansfield and Bringle. Mansfield is a veteran guard for the Canadians. Henderson, the high scoring center, will oppose Dick Carver. A great battle is expected between these two. The prelimnary will be played between Bartons hall and the Vikings. Winners Check Closely Singer, McCleery Hit the Basket From Long Range With The WAA Because of the dearth of outstanding guards and abundance of forwards, Ames was moved back to one guard slot.. Ames finished second in scoring the second half and is big and a good checker. He would be valuable to any team in the back court. Hager, while not an exceptionally high scorer, was in the board's opinion the most valuable man in the league because of his defensive ability. He takes in everything off the backboard and is especially adept at breaking up passes. He can also be used at center. Oltman and J. Jacobsen both are good passers and possess plenty of height and good shooting eyes. Di-vird, of the Men's club, gave these men a close race for positions. Vikings Victorious Pacific Lutheran College Losi Homecoming Game A fast-stepping Viking squad arrived at Tacoma last Saturday with high hopes of gaining their fifth straight victory. They were successful in their venture, downing a fighting Pacific Lutheran college team by a score of*27-24, before a large homecoming crowd. Incidentally it was the Lutherans' fourth defeat in sixteen starts. I t was the ability of the Viking guards to send long shots swishing through the nets after they had failed to break through the opponents' zone defense that gave the visitors their well-earned victory. Tony Zambas and Sheldon Stutz were those fancy-shooting guards. Zambas sunk four baskets while his running mate, Stutz, made two. Carver, not to be outdone, scored nine points, which made him high scorer for the fourth straight game.
