1935_1101 ---------- Northwest Viking - 1935 November 1 - Page 1 ---------- TOMORROW NIGHT WOMEN'S LEAGUE INFORMAL BUNDLE UP FOR PLC GAME VOL. XXXIV.—NO. 5 WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Friday, November 1, 1935 Campus Chatter Wandering into the vicinity of the assembly last Friday, we had eur ears deafened from the shouts which issued forth. Upon inquiries we found out that it wasn't the in-dians on the warpath at all, but a pep rally under the able leadership of Shangle and his dukes, Kosky and Wickstrom. The boys are doing great work towards re viving something of the old school spirit, and deserve this week's laurels for their efforts. * * * * Judging from all the wild yells that reverbrated around the halls from four to six on Wednesday, the Board of Control was having a private pep rally. That's pretty fine of President Millikan to show such an interest in school spirit. How about having a private Board of Control cheering section at the games? * * * * If this present state of weather, which tells of the definite arrival of Winter, is any criterion, the game tonight will more than likely be played in snow drifts. But don't let a little thing like the cold stop you. Raid the unused beds and closets for crazy quilts, drag out your buffalo robes, ear muffs, mittens, and mufflers, and come to the game. If Admiral Byrd could stand it for two years at the South Pole, sturdy Normalites should be able to sit through two hours of a football game. Rehearsal For Drama Division Comedy Begins "Three-Cornered Moon" Departs Radically from 'Usual Kind Of Production Spectators On All Sides Cast Of Characters, and Associate Director Selected Curtis To Play A tH omecoming Burdette Miller Is Named Head Of Radio Broadcast To Be Thursday Evening Fisher Tells Of Education Trend By Victor H. Hoppe "Three Cornored Moon," a modern comedy of youth and the family, is now in rehearsal. This play, to be presented in Eaens Hall Blue room the first week of December, marks a new departure in Division of Drama production. The problems raised by presentation in the center of the theater, on the ground floor, with the audience grouped about on all four sides, are proving very interesting to directors and actors. All old traditions centering in the removal of a fourth wall are being scrapped. The actors move freely With Jay Curtis and his orchestra furnishing the music, the annual Homecoming dance on November 16 at the State Armory will climax the week-end of Homecoming festivities. It is scheduled to begin at 9 p. m. Those in charge of plans for the three-days activities are: general chairman, Ladd Shangle, aided by Kenneth Wickstrom and Severn Kosky, rally; Cliff Johnson, game; Wes Randrup, advertising; Jerry Jacobsen, dance; Gordon Millikan, luncheon; radio broadcast, Burdette Miller; and Anabel Keller and Dorothy Kelly, assembly. Thursday evening will open the homecoming program with a broadcast at 8:30 over radio station KVOS. An interview with Coach Charles Lappenbusch conducted by Harry Kluge, Viking sports editor, a talk by Gordon Millikan, student Normal School Prexy Speaks At Whatcom High School To Local Institute Because of the ever-increasing popularity of the library, the staff has decided to open on Saturday afternoons, in addition to the present hours. Its a good idea, and probably will prove a boon to most students. * * * * And now the faint whispers of last week are beginning to become louder and louder, and finally the thing is out: Homecoming! A glance at the calendar reveals that in exactly two wveks this main event of the school year occurs. If the affair itself even half lives up to all the plans that are under way it would be "bigger and better than ever," to use that time-worn quotation of all chairmen in charge of any and all events. * * * * Rec hours seemed to show some improvement with regards to a smaller and more unobtrusive stag-line at the beginning of the quarter, but now the stags are falling right back into their old rut. It seems rather unfair that so many men should stand silently by, without even so much as a thought for those poor girls who are just longing to be out there dancing and yet are never asked. Maybe these big, strong men are merely bashful! about the room just as if they were p r e s i d e n t gt; m u s i c , a n d a mes_ indeed m a room. They must pay's a g e f r Q m C h a i r m a n L a d d s h a n g le no attention to the impertinent lookers-on who have paid for the priivilege of peeping through the walls. All furniture is selected and placed in such a way that it will not block the audience's vision. Imaginary windows looking into outer space are actually filled with spectators. If a fireplace be used, only a foot or two of brick backing, plus andirons and firescreen may be shown. Actors enter through aisles of the auditorium and all changes in the set are made in full view of he on-lookers. There are, of course, no curtain and no scene changes. The cast for "Three Cornored Moon" follows: Mrs. Rimplegar, Ruth Kulle; Jennie, Margaret Morse; Elizabeth, Rose Altose; Ed, Ed Porter; Kenneth, Warren Toms; Doug, Maynard Ponko; Dr. Stevens, Maurice Nelson; Donald, Boyd Swanson; Kitty, Norma jane Gors-line; Associate Director, Faith Scheyer. o Women's Officers Elected for Year Immediately following the Women's League musical assembly today the Women's League election was held. The candidates were introduced by Charlene Mautz during the assembly. Results of the voting will be known Monday. The candidates were Esther Gius, Helen McNeil and Margaret Foster for secretary of the League; Lois Hankamp Betty Howell, Jeene Borgstedt and Margaret Greely for freshman representatives. President of Scholarship Society Gives The Lowdown on Ascent To Success will all be included in the entertainment. An assembly at 11 a. m. on Friday, which will begin with a pep rally and finish with a program of skits and acts will start off the day's activities. A rally, a bonfire on Waldo field, and a rec hour will conclude the day's plans. Saturday at noon the faculty and alumni will be entertained at a luncheon in Edens hall. Alumni tickets for the dance will be given out at this time. The Ellensburg- Nomal football game will be the main feature of the afternoon, and as a conclusion to the entire program, the dance will be in the evening. o Patterson's Exhibition In Normal's Museum Celebrates Art Week With an exhibition of pictures by Ambrose Patterson, one of the Northwest's foremost artists, as the highlight, the Normal art department joined the in celebration of National Art Week.

H. Fisher told of the shift in the source of public school funds from the state to the federal government. President Fisher explained that this trend points toward the federal sponsorship of the first year of college work to be offered students in their home towns. He showed, that only 60 per cent of the total amount given for education is given by the state and warned that to avoid the danger of complete federal sponsorship of public education federal funds should be cleared through the state department of education. "The present method of apportionment of school funds is not equitable," President Fisher told the teachers. "It works an injustice on many of the poorer districts. Some of the richer districts are receiving more than they rightfully should from the state and have cut their levies accordingly. "Another trend is toward more adult education not just to meet the emergency, but as a permanent part of our public school system. Courses for adults in Americanization, citizenship, sociology, economics, and politics will be offered. "The ordinary high school is the weakest part of the school system," concluded President Fisher. "It is routinized. We talk about guidance but do very little about it. The high school is kept too busy teaching subject matter to teach boys and girls. A pupil's failure is the school's failure. Most high school teachers are too specialized—they need a breadth of education rather than a narrow specialization." o Jewell Is Chairman of Annual Faculty Party To Be Held Thursday The annual fall quarter faculty dinner will be held at 6:30 on Thursday evening, November 7, at the Bellingham hotel. The general chairman for this affair is Miss Mildred Jewell of the Womens' Board Appoints Dolan Manager Next Klipsun Tweit's Orchestra To Play Remaining Rec Hours of "Fall Quarter for Construction of Gym Now Open for Bids Work on P.

(Bob) Hartley, president of the Scholarship society and vice-president of the Associated Students in a personal interview obtained Wednesday evening, at the shcool library. Hartly also said that he is a great singer and actor. He was once told by Victor Hoppe to clown in a play, and he was such a success that he has been at it ever since. "I'm the only big shot that the Viking staff missed," he said. When asked about the inhabitants of the school this brilliant student gave as his own original opinions, "The girls are all right, most of the boys are pretty good, and the faculty is all right." Another one of his numerous accomplishments is his indisputable skill in playing the tuba, according to him. He says that he is never bothered by women and that it is quite an experience being interviewed, since this is the first time that it has happened to him. HarWey is a product of Lynden high school, but now he gives Seattle as the place of his home. Pep Song Contest Has Big Response Although it at first appeared that there were very few "students in the school aspiring to become composers, the last few days of the contest to select a pep song brought quite a host of replies. The contest, which closed yesterday, received many songs that might easily be judged winners. The winner will be announced next week by the committee consisting of Nancy Jane Smith, Joan Hoppe, and Gordon Millikan. It is hoped that the chosen song will spur the Vikings on to a bigger and better Homecoming than any ever experienced before, and that the score will find our team among the day's winners. "Pop is a Methodist minister/' said Hareley, "but in spite of early inhibitions, I have developed almost normally." He ended the interview, saying with a sigh, "My great am-brations.

Uphold the Rec Hours "Put on your " Well, we don't care what you put on, but put on something and we'll be seeing you at the Women's Informal tomorrow evening in the Crystal Ball room of the Leopold hotel. Don't forget, girls, that this affair only comes once a quarter and even if you haven't asked anyone yet, do so at once, even if you have to lure the milkman or kidnap the Chinese laundry-man. Until a few years ago rec hours were always held on Friday afternoons from four to five o'clock. Students came from classes to the Big gym, danced for an hour and went home. As time went on it became evident that it would be necessary to change the schedule because of conflict with various other activities. The Board of Control took action on this situation and designated that rec hours thereafter should be held on Friday evenings from eight to eleven o'clock. This schedule was to be continued only as long as student conduct remained irreproachable and the attendance warranted it. Student sponsors were made responsible for these informal affairs and each week the faculty sponsors were asked to make a report to the Board on the general attitude of the preceeding rec hour. The reports last year were practically all satisfactory and many times commended the fine spirit of the students. As yet this year there have been no faculty reports made but the Board is considering the desirability of again taking this opportunity to check on student conduct at rec hour. At a recent Board of Control meeting President Millikan stated that rec hours were not such a vital part of the school activity that they could not be entirely discontinued at any time. Complete control of these all-school dances lies in the hands of this student- faculty group and they will not hesitate for a moment in doing away with any activity which is not living up to the fine standards for which this school is known and respected. Rec hours are student responsibilities and it depends entirely upon you whether or not they shall be continued. Th Book Shelf THE WORLD AS I SEE IT. Albert Einstein, (tr. from German by Allan Harris.) Mr. Einstein's intellectual stature is enhanced in the mind of the general public to nigh immortal proportions. The closer acquaintance this book offers with the man will help supplant this ignorant worship of a great intellect with a more intelligent degree of respect. Every line contains the thought of a mind which looks upon the world objectively and completely without rancor. This volume is a compilation of articles, addresses, and letters organized into book form by an anonymous disciple of Einstein. It is divided into five distinct parts— Scientific, The World as I See It, Germany, 1933, Judaism, Politics and Pacifism. Keep Posted Weather and Wit Periodical Parade By Marion Peterson "Men Who Will Never Fight Again" is he title of an interesting article in the October 19 Literary Digest dealing with the opinions of maimed veterans on the new war in Ethiopia. The author describes in striking detail the horrors to be found in a veterans' hospital, where legs, arms, and nerves are gone because of one war. Strangely enough, the crippled vets aren't interested at all in Ethiopia but would rather talk about the World Series or the fights. * * * * * Starting with the assumption that a bride this fall would not have much to spend, the fairytale-like story in the October House Beautiful entitled "If I Were a Bride This Fall" builds the little woman a house and furnishes it with everything the richest society debutante could wish for. She even insists on tea every day at four before an open fire-place with pine cones burning in it. Gertrude Stein is simple compared to the problem of paying for the things this bride wants. • * • • * I n Forum for November there is an amusing article which tries hard to be serious concerning the comparative merits of Mickey Mouse and Popeye. The debate is titled "Mickey vs. Popeye" and is written by William DeMille. He discusses the characters of the [two comic strip favorites as if they were people and concludes with the statement that the Mickey-Mous-ians of today will be the New Dealers of tomorrow because of the altruism in Mickey's character To our surprise we learned that our beloved Popeye breeds a race of Fascists. Maybe it would be better to attach our affections permanently to Little Henry after all. Close~Ups DON HOLDER and PAT JACOBSON, those gents that visited the city jail rather recently because they liked the thought of a little excitement, via the shoe repair, are both from Aberdeen and are both prepared to tell everyone how a mule should be ridden. .Each one of them has a girl out of town, all of which ;goes".to prove the piece "Absence makes the heart ,grow fonder of somebody else". CLIFF JOHNSON was : forced to give up his job as business manager of the Klipsun because of too many other activities. Cliff as the football manager, "W" club publicity man and dance instructor.

The Vikings will be without the services of Max Mackenzie, quarterback, in tonight's game. MacKenzie cracked three ribs m a recent game and may be lost to the team for the season. The loss will be keenly felt by the football team as Mac Kenzie was the regular quarterback. PLC Ends Strong Tonight's game will feature a passing attack by both teams. Pacific Lutheran have two of the fastest ends in the history of the school in Ivar and Moe, and will keep the Viking backs busy on pass defense. Coach Chuck Lappenbusch has been drilling his squad on passes and laterals all week and promises to show the fans some new plays. Comparative scores show the two teams to be closely matched wth the Vikings established as slight favorites. PLC recently beat the College of British Columbia by a large score. They lost to Ellens-burg normal by one touhcdown, so the strength of Ellensburg and Cheney normals can be rated after tonight's game. Lineup Is Undecided The starting lineup has not been named as yet, but Lappenbusch plans to use most of his squad in an effort to get the best combination fo the future Cheney and Ellensburg games. Girls' PE Classes Start Playing Basketball Soon; Hockey Turnout Small Girls' P. E. I classes that have an exceptionally large attendance will play intramural basketball games. There are enough participators to form 14 teams and the games will start as soon as the girls have learned more concerning the rules and correct positions of the game. The badminton class which is small, gives the girls an opportunity to obtain practice and tutoring. Hockey turnout is also small. This sport is still open to any girl who has played hockey during high school in previous quarters, or who have never played before. "It is evident that there is a development of splendid material," stated Miss Mildred Jewell, hockey instructor, Turnouts are held whenever possible and many of the girls announce that the games are thoroughly enjoyable. Hazel Olie was elected as manager of volleyball turnout taking the place of Anna Berg. The WAA initiation tea will be held in the Blue room of Edens hall in about two weeks. All those wishing to belong to the WAA and who did not attend the first meeting may still hand in their names to Betty Ewing, president. The WAA Halloween party which was to have been held this Friday has been called off because of the football game.

Official Opening Of Intramural League Monday Eight Teams Signed for Play Under Last Year's Rules; Carver Officiates Normal Jayvees Will Play in City Hoop Tournament Men's Club Sponser Normal J.V. Basketball Team To Play In City League The Junior Varsity basketball team, sponsored by the Men's club, was entered in the Class A basketball league at the Y.M.C.A. last Monday night. The advisor of the team is Coach Carver, who will be with the players during the games, making substitutions and directing the team as needed. Bill Taylor will be the active manager, taking care of the equipment as well as playing on the team. An entering fee has been paid by the Men's club. The club has also planned to buy new suits for the team, although the colors have not yet been decided upon. Although no definite date has been set for the first game, it will probably be during the third week of November. The J. V. squad's opponents will be J. C. Penney, Furniture Factory, and Y.M.C.A. teams. Some of the pospects for the J. V. team are Singer, Taylor, Starlund, Munkers, Anges, Moscrip, and Kluge, all of whom will play on intramural teams. Cheney and Ellensburg Show Potential Power After scouting the Cheney-El lensburg game last week Coach Chuck Lappenbusch is of the opinion that both clubs are going to be stiff opposition for the Vikings. Although the game ended a scoreless tie, Cheney had a decided advantage both in offensive and defensive play. Anderson, a two-year veteran who is now playing fullback showed up well along with Moss and Barnes, two big halfbacks. Ellensburg had the edge in punting with Taylor booting the ball high and far. Hakala was outstanding on the line while Hall a 5-foot, 5 fullback, played a bang-up game. Sam Carver will blow the whistle Monday afternoon at 4:00, throw the ball up, and the intramural basketball season will be officially started for the 1935 season. Eight teams have entered the league and promise to give the fans some of the classiest ball ever seen in the little gymnasium. At the managers' meeting in Carver's office last Tuesday, it was decided to play two games a night, at 4:00 and 4:45, with Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday as the playing days. Last year's rules will be followed all this season. Carver and Bill Taylor, assistant, will referee the games. A new rule to be brought before the managers in a future meeting will concern the out-of-bounds play. It is considered having no out-of-bounds at all, playing the entire floor, and putting the spectators in the balcony. According to Carver, this rule, if adopted, would be liable to hurt some of the players if they were shoved against the wall. However, he is willing to have two teams try the plan. Monday's games will find the Coop playing the W club at 4:00 and the Men's club facing Edwards hall in the second battle at 4:45. Patronize The Advertisers Vikings Defeat Ft. Lewis By Score of 25-6 Dzurich, Boggess, Play Fast Game Against Fort Lewis Team In Last Game A hard-hitting Viking squad de-score of 25-6 at Saturday night's feated the Fort Lewis eleven by a football game. The Vikings played a bang-up game and showed wonderful team work and passing. They proved their ability to smash through a line of men who outweighed them practically 10 pounds to the man. The first touchdown was made by Albert Gall, with Guglomo and Dzurich running interference. For the second touchdown, Dzurich received the ball, faded back and made a swift pass to Guglomo who carried the ball over the line. The Normal team played spectacular aerial football at times.

Alumni Luncheon Held At Leopold W E A President Gives Addresses, Hoppe Speaks On Behalf Of Teachers Pillsbury Tells Cub of Achievement, Ambition, Opinions and Education (Continued From Page One) ent Mr. Pillsbury works for no certain company, but depends chiefly on his lecures as a means of financing his experiments. He said he had sold a number of his films to Paramount and Pathe moving picture corporations when times were better. Next summer, Pillsbury plans to return to the islands of the southi seas and continue his studying- of undersea plant life. He estimates the total film used in his experiments and explorations at over a million feet. o Phifer, Former Normal Student, at University The week-end visit of Dr. and Mrs. Lyman D. Phifer at the home of Miss Leona Sundquist brought to the attention of this college a success story in science. In former times, Dr. Phifer was a student at this school and an assistant in the Science department. Then he transferred to the University of Washington and earned his master's and his doctor's degree. Now he is Assistant Director of the Oceanographical Laboriatories of the University of Washington. In addition he is an eminent authority on Phytoplanktons, the minute organ-asm upon which fish feed. With Mrs. Beryl Bruff as toast-mistress and committee chairman, an alumni luncheon was held at the Hotel Leopold on Tuesday. About thirty of the Normal faculty and 23 alumni attended. E. W. Campbell, who is president of the Washington Education Association and superintendent of the Renton city schools gave the principal address on "Character Education". P. M. Brock, who is the Skagit county superintendent of schools, gave a speech on behalf of the Normal alumni. Victor Hoppe of the Speech department spoke as a representative of the Normal faculty. Campbell concluded his speech with a story about Mr. Wil-iis Sutton, superintendent of schools at Atlanta, Georgia. When Mr. Sutton first went to college, his father wrote him a 103-page letter. In this letter he outlined very fully eight different professions that his son might enter, among them being the doctor, lawyer, minister, architect, and undertaker. He concluded this miniature thesis by saying that he hoped his son would think them over very carefully and decide. After tearing his hair for about a week, he answered his father in a letter as follows: "Dear Dad.— I'm going to , become a teacher, cause then I can do them all". o— Drafting Class Popular, Techniques of Drafting, And Engineering Shown "The Industrial Arts drafting class is one of the largest the Normal school has ever had", says H. E. Ruckmick, instructor. The class consists of fourteen students. The purpose of the subjects is to train prospective engineers. At the present time the class is studying the various techniques of drafting plans for machine parts, and electrical layouts for wiring. In the latter part of the term, the class will be studying blue prints. Mr. Ruckmick explains a blue print as "the engineer's language" The students must learn to conceive ideas for a building and then be able to interpret their thoughts by the means of a blue print drawing. o If this continues, frost-bitten hands, ears, and feet will be the predominant feature of "day after the game" enthusiasm. The teacher might object if most of the class had lost its voice cheering that end run, but no one has ever denied that it was worth cheering for. But it was a swell game! And tomorrow night we'll be out there with ear muffs and mittens, cheering for the team. See you there! Girls of Davis Hall Entertain Friends at Halloween Party; .
