XXXIV—NO. 25 WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Friday, April 10, 1936 Kulk, Hager Named To Make Plans for Annual Campus Day Ruth Kulle was appointed Campus day chairman and Joe Hager, all-school dance chairman at the Board of Control meeting Wednesday. The All-school dance, which will take place of the former Men's informal, is scheduled for April 25, but an attempt will be made to move the date to May 2 so that the Worn Campus Chatter COFFEE CAMPAIGNS CONVERSATIONS —By Pinky What I've got to say this week is poetic, and I don't think people in this school 'have appreciated my previous attempts at poetry. So there isn't much to say. However, I shall try to say it in 500 words. o In spite of the fad that they were met by unshaved faces and growls to "GtDan home" the dorm initiates bravely made the rounds of mens houses the other morning, singing their merry little songs. I'd hate to get wakened, so early by the strains of "Go get 'em, Vikings," or such, and I'm not a strong male, either. A notice in the UW Daily reveals the fact that a fellow named Nat Washington is a dark horse in the race for ASUW president for the coming year. In the Viking office, one of the regular exchanges received is addressed to "The Northwest Viking, Robert Viking, Editor;? We have no Mr. Normal on our campus, but how about running Bob Viking for Board of Control? o Bashful men in school? Wonder just how many. After all that hectic planning and bustling about by Women's league committees, serving coffee instead of tea (tea's much better), only about ten males appeared. Orchids to the ten, but you'd think curiosity as to what our room looked like would have brought more out. Oil up those soap boxes and drag out the political machines. Maybe that's a bit muddled, but whatever happens, election time is nigh. There's nothing quite so stimulating as a student election. Yes, very, Too bad this campus doesn't shelter a few frat and sorority houses so that somone could dig into all the dirt. We've tried too long to instigate a quarrel around here over something vital, and maybe that would start it. Nothing else will. But the nearest thing to a sorority is the Greek stuff the campus Rainbows have hitched onto themselves, and I don't know what that means. Besides, there's nothming controversial about a rainbow. They just follow storms. o en's informal will precede it. Girls will sell the tickets and the men will pay. for them. Campus Day is May .1. Discussion of football expenses and of the expediency of creating the student athletic manager position led to the suggestion that Coach Charles Lappenbusch be invited to the next meeting to give his opinion. The program for this morning's student assembly was outlined to the Board. Mon Orloff explained that . the symposium delivered by Gordon Millikan, Bob Hartley, El-tffer Lindquist and Ed Tomco was suggested by a letter he received from the state teachers' college at Mayville, N. D., which is conducting a survey of college student government. Filling. of the ' enclosed questionnaire showed, according to Oroff, that Normal activities are strong'in athletic and social functions. He announced at the same time that the delegates to the International Relations club conference would report in assembly. o WL Tea Is New; Committee Reports Coffee Served to Men Students; Self Starter Discussed Something new in teas was attempted this week when the Women's League served coffee, Ritz crackers, and Cheezits to the men on Tuesday afternoon in the League room. Members of the WL say this practice may be repeated in the future. Phyllis Robinson was general chairman. Miss Florence Johnson, dean of women, and Doris Condo-george poured. Those assisting were: Jean Macaulay, Joan Hoppe, Helen Boothe* and Katherine Sullivan. The press committee of the Women's league, in a report to Dolly Anderson, president, released information regarding ; several changes to be made in the Self Starter. Th^ entire text is being rewritten; new type will be used throughout; and cuts and illustrations will be utilized. Rapid progress is being made on the book revisions and it will soon be ready for the .printers. Up to the present time no new name has been selected to take the place of Self Starter. o Control Board Selects Athletic Manager For Football and Basketball Four Teachers Attend Meeting For Instructors Annual Session of Inland Empire Education Association Meets In Spokane Four faculty members are in attendance at the thirty-eighth annual session of the .Inland Empire Education association at Spokane, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of this week. Misses Marjorie E. Dawson, of the campus school* Elizabeth M. Hopper, of the appointment bureau, and Charlotte B. Richardson, industrial arts instructor, and Dr. C. C. Up-shall, head of the research department, represent the Normal faculty. Miss Dawson is a member of the state committee on revision of courses of study. During the convention an appointment bureau is being maintained at the Davenport hotel by Miss Hopper. She will meet former Normal students who are attending the conference. Dr. Upshall will take part in the research section of the meeting which will consist largely of discussion. He also has a part in planning the banquet for the research workers in attendance. o Three New Officers Elected to Valkyrie Election of Janet Johnson as vice-president; Joan Hoppe, secretary, Elizabeth Cozier, program chairman, and Jeanne Borgstedt, social chairman, of the Valkyrie club, took place at a business meeting held last Tuesday afternoon. An evening social friendship meeting, to introduce the newly elected members, will take place next Tuesday at 7:30. The speaker and the place of meeting have not yet been decided upon, so all Valkyrie members are to keep an eye open for club announcements of further details of this meeting. New rules of excused absences and compulsory club attendences were read and the purchasing of new club uniform sweaters were discussed by the group. o Normal Assembly of May 8 Will Feature MacDowell Concerto Representatives To Be Chosen Next Thursday Nominating Convention Picks Six To Compete for Vacancies On Board Classroom conversation. Discussion is bulletin boards in elementary schools. Pat Jacobsons "Thumb lacks have a certain /ee/." Miss Erickson's ' 7 prefer pins." Now there is something vital to get het up about. At the next Board of Control meeting an athletic manager for football and basketball will be chosen from the several applicants. The manager's salary will be $100 a year with a bonus in proportion to the success of the year. The athletic manager must be regularly enrolled in the school with not fewer than 12 credit hours and must maintain a grade point average of 2.5. At __ the same time an assistant mana The place has been deluged by ger will be chosen who will step into April Fool's day editions of ordinari ly sober, practical, conservative college papers. Our editor does not get original ideas like that. Maybe the school is lucky, though, because none of the suffering readers would have to stop and figure out all the trivialities. The growth of this student organization, "Veterans of Future Wars," has been rapid, and has been taken rather serously, although it was begun as a sort of mild joke on the Princeton campus a short time ago. The affair now has a division on nearly every significant campus in the country, with auxiliaries and everything. Can it be that students .are being "taken in" in the same way the whole population was during the Great War? Trot out your new spring outfits, oh fair ones—strong ones, too. Easter time is here again, and if it dpesni rain Til be seeing you in the, rotogravure. the manager's job the next year. A freshman or sophomore will be preferred for the assistant manager Wiik Presents Recital Of Songs in Assembly s Several groups of songs were pre-sened by Nan Dybdal Wiik, soprano, at the regular Tuesday morning assembly this week. She was accompanied by Edith R. Strange. Mrs. Wiik made her debut in Milan in 1924. She was born in Norway and received her musical education in Italy. In 1925 she was first heard in this country. She appeared as a soloist with the University of Oslo chorus in 30 of the leading cities of the United States. Her first appearance at the Normal was in 1929. She has entertained at many local functions. Mrs. Wiik is the wife of Dr. J. C. Wiik of this city. They were married in Oslo, .Norway, in 1928: May 8 is the new date set for the assembly program featuring Dr. A. C. Hicks, member of the Normal English department, and the Normal school orchestra. Dr. Hicks will play a MacDowell concerto. The assembly was scheduled for May 1 but the date was changed because more time was needed to arrange the program. Eight names will be placed in the voting booths for the student's choice of four quarter board of control representatives next Thursday. Two members are to be voted upon, one to be a woman member and one either a man or woman. Nominees for the woman's position on the control board include Anna Padden, Virginia Holm, and Joyce Jansen. who were picked by the nominating convention, and Helen Hostetter, for whom the students petitioned. Taylor Nominated For the position of either man or woman member of the board, Bill Taylor, Betty Swisher, and Ann Decker were named by the nominating convention while Ed Angel was chosen by student petition. The nominating convention, which met Wednesday evening, chose six of the eight nominees. Representatives of clubs and school organizations attended the convention. Candiates to Be Introduced Candiates for the positions will be introduced by Florence Lund, vice-president of the student body in assembly next Tuesday. Miss Lund will also have charge of the voting on Thursday. Arne Johnsen and Cliff Johnson are the two retiring board members. . o Vaudeville To Be Given By W Club With a committee headed by Hurley Boggess, chairman; Bill Taylor and Ed Tomco, associates, plans for the "W" club vaudeville, to be held May 4, are under way. The vaudeville is to be held in the auditorium the night before campus day under the supervision of Victor H. Hoppe. President Bill Frender declares the acts to be way above par in their extreme absurdity. It is rumored that Popovic will provide one of them and that an attempt is being made to have the faculty take part in the entertainment- Other business brought up in the meeting consisted of changing the club's constitution so that officers will be elected the first day of April instead of in June. This will enable the Inter-club council delegates from the "W" club to participate in the Inter-club council election. . o Nancy Hutton, Edens hall, spent the week-end in Ferndale. o Edens hall girls who visited out of town Friday are Thelma Cowan, in Blaine; Marie Hickman, at Burlington, and Marjorie ---------- Northwest Viking - 1936 April 10 - Page 2 ---------- WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL.

Perhaps the sparsity of the crowd was due to a lack of interest in good music, lack of time (a feeble excuse) or due to the fact that the date and exceptional quality of the concert was not specifically brought to the attention of the students. But whatever the reason was, it is hoped that the occasion will not again arise when it will be necessary to offer any of these excuses. Ohx U^W Keyhol( In Answer In answer to the student opinion which appears in this issue I will say it is too bad if the masculine population of the school cannot bring enough pressure to bear on certain infamous characters within their ranks to persuade them from their career of crime. Perhaps I was a little hard on the righteously in-dignants of the group, for I'm sure the majority was bitterly scornful oi the whole proceedings, but I am still convinced that it would be satisfactory if the room were opened to both men and women. Stifled chortles at some rare witticism, especially when it doesn't rise above the level of paper airplanes, seem a trifle out of place during a lovely concert. Campi Coast to Coast ' By Rose Cassidy They laughed when I sat down to write this column. Well, all we (who write this column) know is what we read in the exchange papers. JOY OF BEING AN EDITOR Getting out this little paper is no picnic. If we print jokes people say "That's high school stuff". If we don't, they say we are too serious. If we clip things from other papers, we are too lazy to write them ourselves. If we don't, we are too fond of our own stuff. If we don't print contributions, we don't appreciate real genius. If we do print them the paper is filled with junk. If we write a "Keyhole" or a "Muck for Morons'C people say we are catty. If we don't have a scandal column, they say they don't like the paper. Now, like as not, someone will say we swiped this from some other paper. WE DID. "The girl with the silvery laugh is a gold digger' * * * * * Insult or injury? An exchange paper was addressed: Northwest Viking, Burlington State Normal, Bellingham, Washington. Wire tapping on personal calls in girl's schools and junior colleges is a wide-spread practice. Now you will all think that that is where the Viking news hounds get all of their gossip. According to University of Chicago psychologists, excessive bathing may mean a guilty conscience. I wonder if that goes for the summer months too. * * * * * Rolling college, Florida, is the latest to give Presi- : dent Franklin D. Roosevelt an honorary degree. Do you suppose that he would be interested in a teacher's degree from the Bellingham State Normal school?

Nice going, DON — Say,, CLYDE, since when do you rate having mail addressed to "PROFESSOR" CLYDE KENDALL? — BARBARA GOFF seems to have chosen golf as her next field of conquest since GORDY RICHARDSON left for Alaska. At least, I think that PHTL KIDDER is a golfer. — By the way, what happened to AL? — Another newcomer to Normal, ED MURPHY, is still anybody's game. I'll bet I could have gotten a lot of dirt for here if I could have read some of the letters v the girls of Col-lett Court were so frantic to retrieve when someone set fire to one of the mail boxes. — I wonder if KIETH WETJJEMAN knows what the "W" stands for in WAA when he signed up to go on their hike. You would do well to read the blue book, too, Kieth. Alkisiah is also feministic. Do you follow? — It's too bad ED REISCHMAN didn't return to school this quarter so MARTHINE HANSON could continue to pursue her studies in that interesting course called love. — It is interesting, too. I know. With all these signs of spring in the air I've got it, too. — I enjoy watching KATHRYN HATCH and BOB WHITE stroll around the campus.— Another couple, victims of the season, are BDLL BYL and LOUISE LAMMERS but they've had spring all winter. — Just a tip to some of the lads who haven't seen her yet, take my advice and date ELSA-BELLE CRUTTENDEN. You won't be disappointed. — Just ask MISS BRYANT what she thinks of some stubborn Swedes. — When Alaska calls, some girls are left weeping or at least without boy friends — Like JOSEPHINE SLANINKA. — In fact, we all miss those who went north this trip. — Favorite pastime of mine is heckling those who are struggling with Ed Measurements. — Does anyone want to know vvho Ed measurements is? — There are lots of people who never expect to make this column but give me time .— I'll get you all eventually — So long! — Happy Easter! o Oh, a-hunting we will go. But this time we won't heggle and haunt the ducks. This time the Easter eggs take a beating (not into egg-nog). We're seeking all kinds of Easter eggs—big ones, little ones, speckled ones, plain ones, colored ones, white ones, but all Easter eggs nevertheless. In this picture we see the bunny. Cute little innocent rascal. Little does he suspect that we're not looking for him—just the Easter eggs he's sitting on. o Etikette So Why Easter?. Magazines Breaking away from the old tradition of government by trustees, Black Mountain college in North Carolina has set an educational ideal for itself in its attempt to develop "individuals, not individualists". Its story is told by Louis Adamic in the April HARPERS, under the title of "Education on a Mountain". This institution was founded a few years ago by a group of professors and students who broke away from Rollins college in Florida. "Life without sound is like a deep silent river—all is serene, beautiful, natuarlly conducive to peace." This very unusual reaction.to deafness is the statement of Arthur G. Leisman in his equally unusually titled "I Am Glad I Am Deaf" to be found in April AMERICAN MERCURY. The author insists he would reject ah offer to have his hearing restored—if it were possible. This list of etiquette questions and answers was found in an old, discarded notebook. 1. Should one telephone another during the dinner hours? The way some girls tear around that is the only time one can be sure of catching them in. 2. Is it good taste to discuss personal affairs with acquaintances? Not only bad taste but dangerous. They might be writing the dirt column. 3. Is it all right for one to correct another who has mispronounced his name? After all, when you are being introduced to that beautiful blonde you do want her to get your name right. 4. May salad ever be cut with a knife? Some salads require it. 5.

One of our star milers, John Stiger, failed to appear for track turnout this quarter. Losing a star isn't the only trouble that is getting in the track mentor's hair. We get a couple of days of sunshine and then old sol retreats to let the April showers hold sway for a week or more. In the meantime, men turning out for track grow musty with sitting in-side. Finally a local university made a name for itself in the eastern basketball circle. The U. of W. can now take its bow for its wonderful showing in the Olympic basketball games there. ' What's the reason that our school cant support a women's golf team? I'm sure there are plenty of girls in school that would be only too glad, to represenf this alma mater.

Ned Moran and Tommy Whalen will be in training at Coulee dam throughout the summer months. What I mean by training is working. Both of them received jobs on this project. They will return td school next fall quarter to support the Viking football team. Beliingham bay must have something salubrious in its atmosphere for athletes.

All the suits have been issued and about 30 men are now angling for regular positions. Chuckers Good The pitching division shows great promise with six men in line for the staff. Bill Bishop is showing improvement and is expected to pitch some air-tight games for the Vikings. Bishop has had past experience on Sumas-Nooksack high school teams, the championship Hopewell grange team, Sumas and Beliingham town teams and a Vancouver team. Oppelt also is coming right along and shows promise of enlarging his reputation obtained while playing on the Centralia team. Other men turning out are George Smith, Clyde Reis, Cliet Dombroski and George Moscrip, who also has his eye on the first base position. Lettermen Back Shangle Cops Top Position On Ladder; Team To Meet Mount Vernon Today With ten aspirants signed up, the annual tennis ladder is once more in use in the Men's physical education office. Coach Lappenbusch plans a a successful season with six matches on schedule. At he present time Ladd Shangle holds the coveted number one position after defeating Mon Orloff in the first official challenge, 6-4, 7-5. Two other matches have also been played. Ed Murphy, who held number three position on the University of Washington Frosh team last year, defeated Starlund in a short match, 6-4, 7-5. Hussey, playing his second year for the Vikings, defeated C. Orloff 6-2, 6-3. The ladder at present shows Shangle on top. Hussey in second position, with M. Orloff, Murphy, Starlund, C. Orloff, Popovic, Dzu-rich, Jensen, and Weeks in the remaining brackets. This order, however, will probably be changed as additional matches are played.

Phil Kidder is heading the list after shooting a sparkling 73 on the Lakeway golf course. This is a remarkable score despite the condition of the greens and the relative strangeness of the course to Kidder. Pat Jacobson is next with 75 which is also a fairly good score being four over par. Lindsley and Jerry Jacobson follow wth 79 and 84 respectively. Chase and Morris are tied at the bottom with 89. After the challenge games have been played, the first five will be chosen for the golf team. The first game this season will be with Pacific Lutheran college to be played here. Lessons Start Under the able direction of Wal-lie Lindsley, Lakeway Golf pro, a class of 16 students has begun an extensive course in an effort to gain a working knowledge of the complexities involved in the game of golf. Lakeway golf course is the scene of operations. Starting with the relatively simple putt, the class gradually works into the elements of the long drive. The goal of the class is to eventually gain a good general knowledge of the rudiments of the game during the 22 lessons which they will get by the end of the quarter. Special emphasis is placed on the principles of the swing and stroke. o Two holes-in-one were scored recently in one 18-hole match, by 60- year-old James G.

And speaking of buildups, our big-shot today needs none at all. He's quite a matinee idol—well maybe not quite—anyway he does villians very effectively, and if the audience didn't know him so well, we might forget ourselves so far as to hiss in the good old-fashioned way which used to prove the success of a Gay '90's Legree. He's one of these fellows who seems to have time for everything. I n fact, about the only thing he doesn't indulge in is football (or perhaps it would be more timely to mention that he isn't among those who tagger around Waldo field in gay red warmups.) Anyway, it doesn't seem to rush him in the least to take part in enough activities to be one of the best-known men in school, to keep his grades around that enviable 3.75, or whatever it is, to work. — and still have time to do his own cooking! He has a famous sense of humor, and we'd be sure to come pretty • close to the truth if we said he was the best-known jokester around school. Yours sincerely, PERKINS and GENTHER. Of interest to former Fairhaven students is the farewell dance which was given last week-end by Whatcom and Fairhaven students at the South Side hall. The farewell was for the school which burned reentry. Louise Lammers of Davis hall entertained Travis Wirt of Mount Vernon, Lucille Green of Sedro-Woolley, and Mrs. Sherman Prather, of Bellingham. Best Composition of the Winter Appear in Quarterly Book; Allez Edits Junior Journal, quarterly publication of the Campus school seventh and eighth grades, was completed and published before spring vacation by a staff of seventh grade students. It was bound in green and was illustrated by the students. The magazine is composed of seventh and eighth grade compositions dealing wih experiences and activities in which children have participated. Some are illustrated. The Journal is divided into two sections. Instead of the usual collecting of material by a reporter, an editor was put in charge of each section. Seventh Grade Staff Members The special editorial staff was: Mary Main, classroom activities; Russell Denton, stories; Bob Van de Wetering, books; Fred Wairauch, poems; BUI Bamett, sports; Darrell Magg, putside activities; and Walter .de Burgh, anecdotes. The staff wasT*r Fred Allez, editor-in-chief; Shelia Mueller, business manager; Keith Abbott and Pat Ellsperman, art editors; and Miss Bertha Crawford, advisor. The staff was assisted by Miss Dorothy Mcllvain, of the Art department; Mrs. May Love-gren, mimeographing; and Dorothy Goff, student teacher. Block Design on Cover Art editors, with the help of volunteers, designed unit headings for each section of the book, and made the block print for the cover decoration. This publication promotes a keener student interest in written expression, in that only the best is published. It develops close observation and leadership in planning its organization and the experience of publication. It gives the children with the desire or ability to draw or to write an opportunity to express themselves. EDITOR'S NOTE: This story is to take the place of the one appearing in last weeks issue's issue in which some misinformation inadvertly appeared. Newspapers Taken By Beginning Newswriters Outstanding newspapers are on the Viking's subscription list for the spring quarter, all from the United States with the exception of the Vancouver Daily Province. Although the papers studied by the staff usually represent conservative journalism, the Denver Post this quarter is an exception to the rule. Additional papers are the New York Times, the Denver Post, the Emporia Gazette (Emporia, Kansas), and the New Orleans Times-Picayune. About 20 students are making use of the papers to study make-up, policy, advertising and to compare various types of writing as developed by the different editors.

PAF Ship Departs on Northward Trip; Six Former Normal Students on Board Six former Normal school students were on board the steamship North King, of the Pacific American Fisheries fleet, when it sailed for Alaska, Tuesday, April 7, at 3 o'clock. Dick Carver, Gordon Richardson, Doug Hansen, Art Herrold, Lon Varnadore, and Sherwood Edwards are the students who are sailing to the northland, where they will be employed in the fish canneries. The boys were granted extra time to visit friends, when the fishermen scheduled to sail on the North King affiliated themselves with the Alaska Fishermen's union and caused a 34-hour delay in sailing in order to work out details of an agreement between the union and the PAF. None of the cannery workers were involved in the conflict, as they have already receive lt;Tan increase in wages from the company for this season. The carftiery tender carried a passenger list of more than 220 employes to the Alaska canneries. They are the first crews to sail from here this season and will man the company plants at Petersburg, Alitak, Squaw Harbor, and King Cove.
