WILL ROGERS LATELY MADE THE SUGGESTION THAT FOOTBALL' WOULD BE A
GOOD ENTERPRISE FOR ANY GOVERNMENT TO ENGAGE IN. . ROGERS WAS USING THE
CHICAGO-NAVY GAME AS AN ILLUSTRATION, IN WHICH 125,- 000 PEOPLE WERE
SPECTATORS IN THE SOLDIER FIELD BOWL. "I PROPOSE," HE SAID, "THAT THEY
KEEP THE NAVY PLAYING EVERY SATURDAY THE YEAR 'ROUND AND BUY THEIR OWN
BATTLESHIPS. THAT SAME DAY 75,000 OTHERS IN CHICAGO WERE WATCHING D O Z
E N S OF HIGH SCHOOLS AND NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY SETTLE GRID DISPUTES.
Twenty-two per cent of Belling- ~ham Normal's enrollment for this quarter
are men. This figure, -which means approximately 200 male students, runs
along very '. close to figures compiled during t h e last five years.
Only a handful of men were on the campus during the years of the war. But
since the last decade a much larger increase is noticeable, and even a
greater .proportion than the annual enrolment could show. Why? More and
more men are looking into educational fields and simultaneously there is
also a large demand for this grouping in grammar schools, junior
colleges, and special work, such as coaching or manual training
instructing. A very large per cent are from state and county points,
while a similar number are resident in Bellingham. These of the latter
are primarily interested in a liberal education with the purpose of
continuing in higher schools of education, and to further continue in
some professional line. So much for that. This Week W. S. C. is beginning
construction of a $150,000 field house. This proposal which began a year
ago will soon be a reality and a valuable supplement to Rogers Field, the
renowned Cougar playground. University of Washington just got through
with a political rally. After a real rocket parade at night hundreds of
the school's Republican students heard speeches by Governor Hartley,

Repertory Company of the Moroni Olsen players, will open its sixth season
here next Monday evening, November 5, presenting Rachel Crothers'
brilliant contemporary American satire, "Expressing Willie" in the Normal
auditorium. "Expressing Willie" is a charmingly humorous and witty study
of a very common phenomenon in American social life today—the
successful and intelligent business man who has devoted his talents and
energies to aciheving success and, after the struggle begins to relax,
begins groping to reach out for a cultural life of a type that he has
passed by in the earlier stages of his career. Willie Smith Is Here
Willie Smith, the hero of this play, is surrounded by the typical group
of sycophants with their varied aims of his money or position or what his
influence can achieve for them and who convince him that they have the
magic understanding that will open for him the broader life that he fears
he has missed in his struggle for material success. In the end however,
the longheaded contriving of his mother— who incidentally was .
responsible for his business success—opens Willie's eyes to the
sham under which his new friends pursue their epr-sonal motives and
Willie begins expressing himself joyously and vigorously and according to
his own talents and impulses. Byron Kay Foulger, who directed the
company's presentation of "Anna Christie" last season, will direct the-
production of "Expressing Willie." o : KATHRYN MEISLE DELIGHTS AUDIENCE

Players, appearing here ; soon in Rachel Crothers' brilliant ; American
comedy, "Expressing Willie."; I INFORMAL Ti Nationally Known Artist Is
Well Received by Bellingham People. Miss Kathryn Meisle, leading
contralto of the Chicago, San Francisco and Los Angeles .Opera Companies,
pleased the Bellingham audience with a striking vocal program ot the
First Christian Church Auditorium last evening, November 1. Miss Meisle,
who was' presented by the Bellingham State Normal School and Bellingham
Woman's Music Club, sang several numbers by Schubert, Rachmaninoff and
other well known classical composers. Her interpretation of "Ah Mon Fils"
from "Le Prophete" by Meye-beer, was especially pleasing to her hearers.
She was accompanied at the Baldwin by Mr. Myron Jacob-son. Miss Meisle
made her first professional debut with the Minneapolis Orchestra, under
Emil Oberhof-fer in October, 1921. In November, 1923, she was engaged to
sing the leading role in the Chicago Civic Opera Company. ti Some of the
orchestras who have engaged the talented contralto are: The , New York
Symphony, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Detroit, Cleveland,
Chicago, Cincinnati and Boston. Miss Nora B. Cummins, Miss Delia Keeler
and Mrs.- Victor Hoppe entertained with;.a tea and reception in honor of
Mr. and iMrs." E. J. Klemme, Sunday afternoon at Miss . Cummins' home.
Intimate friends of the Klemme's were the guests: .'• ; :-'^'

Programs '-to be Given Today Upon Presentation of Dance Receipt; Indian
Summer Is Dance Motif. Edens Hall will be aglow and bustling with
activity tomorrow night when the outside girls enter the portals at
eight-thirty for their informal dance of the season. The scheme of the
dance is Indian summer and . t he programs, music and decorations all
carry out this motif. Miss Ouida Davidson, chairman of the decoration
committee, has made plans for a most charming and unusual setting, and
with the aid of her self-appointed committee is engaged in carrying out
the idea. The programs will be given out to the girls oday noon, from 12
until four o'clock on the presentation of the receipts given them upon
the payment of the -fee entitling them to go. This informal is under the
direction of Miss Catherine Morse, the social chairman of the Women's
League and will probably be one of the most interesting ones-yet sponsored
by that organization. Over a hundred girls have signed to go and there
are quite a number on the waiting list in case any of the other girls
drop out. o Thomas Manor Takes This Year's Pennant In the opinion of
the committee in charge of Home Coming consisting of both faculty and
students, Thomas Manor was judged as hav-' ing the prize winning house
decoration. Edward's Hall and Collett's Hall were close runner-ups for
first place, but lacked the tinge of originality of the Manor's idea. The
credit for the idea of the occupants of the Igloo was given ' to Joyce
Arnold, who thought up the idea and put it into action with/the able help
of Zeke McClurken The Campus as a whole looked extremely well, and the
committee expresses appreciation to all the students who helped to make
it so. o KREISLER IS HEARD Athletics will receive $2.50 from each $6
student activities ticket sold, according to the decision of the board of
control, in regular meeting which took place Monday afternoon: At - this
meeting the quarterly apportionment of funds took place, with . athletics
getting the largest single cut of money. Close on the heels of brawn
comes brain, with culture, represented by lectures and musical artist
courses being allotted $2.25. Social life of the school is provided for
by the 75 cent appropriation for the quarter, while the remaining 50
cents of the'$6 is placed in the Northwest Viking fund. Debate Squad
Appeals The request of members of the debate squad that 15 cents from
each student activities ticket be set aside for the expenses of this
activity was denied for this quarter, and a committee was appointed to
investigate conditions concerning debate to ascertain if the appropriation
of money for the activity is feasible. According to the statement made
to the board by the debaters, with the appropriation of enough money,
such as the request asked, several intercollegiate debates could be
arranged for both men and women teams, at home and away from home. With
the request for money the debaters also asked that a special^ manager be
appointed. In appointing the committee, which is composed of Eldred
Bech-tel and Jean Marquis, the board stated that there is no possibility
of debate receiving any financial aid this .quarter. A manager will be
appointed by the board if money is appropriated in the future. W. A. A.
Requests Change , The request of the W. A. A. that the sweater award rule
for girls be changed so that a girl may earn a sweater after serving on
seven first teams instead of eight first teams as is now required, was
referred to B, special committee headed by Jean Marquis. The. request
based its vajidity upon the assertion that because of the two-year length
of the school term, it is highly difficult for girls to play on eight
teams. Thespian Initiation to be Weird Affair Says Mock, Chairman
Twenty faculty members and several students motored to Vancouver to hear
Fritz Kreisler oh Monday. Kreisler is the leading violinist of the age
and tickets for the performance were sold out for three days before the
appearance. Ev.en standing room was not available and hundreds of people
were turned away. Kreisler was wonderfully gracious and responded to the
applause with three encores." Those who availed themselves of this rare
opportunity were: Pres. and Mrs. C. H. Fisher Mr. and Mrs. Herbert
Ruckmick, Mrs. Mae Lovegren, Misses Fannie Ragland, Emma Erickson, Grace
Moore, Mary E.

of the Board of Conrol, $2.50 from each $6.00 student activities ticket
was allotted to atheltics, $2.25 to the musical atrists course, 75 cents
to social activities and the remaining 50 cents to the Northwest Viking.
This apportionment was decided upon after due consideration of the needs
of each activity. We are sure the decision was a wise one. However it
might be interesting to know that at this same meeting a mere 15 cents was
refused the poor little unassuming debate squad, which is sorely in need
of funds as well as encouragement to carry on its unrecognized efforts.
That 15 cents would go far in making inter-collegiate debate possible, and
in giving a worth-while activity a strong foothold in our institution.
LET'S SHOW OUR APPRECIATION Next Wednesday evening Louis Graveure, world
famous tenor, will be at the First Christian Church for a concert which is
second of the series on the Musical ArtistsCourse. Do students ever stop
to consider what a peculiar privilege is theirs in having anopportunity
such as this? Not alone are the master musicians of the world engaged for
their pleasure, but in addition it is their privilege to listen to lectures
of moment on the most interesting subjects, by men best qualified to
deliver them. A feature of these concerts and lectures particularly
appreciated by most of us, is that they are free to students. At no other
school in the state do students have such a chance as this to enjoy the
art of the best musicians and lecturers on the public platform. . It is a
well-known fact that humanity generally cares but little for #what can be
easily obtained—accepts with indifference the goods that the gods
provide, but let us prove an exception to this rule and receive with
eagerness and appreciation the artistic treats offered to us* KEEP OFF T H
E GRASS. Even the U. S. Mail must pause and consider if it may enroach on
the precious greensward of our sacred campus. President or freshman, mail
carrier or visitors, all must obey the edict of our autocratic gardeners
and KEEP OFF THE. CAMPUS! The theory is that walks were made to walk on
and grass was not; therefore our hay must be allowed to grow unmolested.
Dear Ma "Is this 4452?" "Yeh." "I wanta speak to Peter Pebble." "This
is him speakin'." "Well, this is Beck." "Who?" "I say this is Beck,
Eldred Bech-tel, the fat boy." "Oh,'sure, I know, you're the campus lady
killer. What do ya want?" "Well say, Pete old boy, I'm in an awful fix.
One of my harem wants a date for the big Homecoming v dance tonight, and
I've already got a date. Will you take her?" . "Well I dunno. What's she
like?" »;: "Oh, gosh, Pete, you ought to -know that I wouldn't pick
out none but the best for you. Boy, she's a wow, and how." "What's her
name?" "Oh, Pete, what difference does that make? You just be by the
mailbox across from Baughman's at 8 o'clock and she'll be there to vmeet
you." * * * * Well Ma, maybe I shouldn't have accepted this blind date,
but really you can't blame me, now can ya? This here girl with the busted

MANY MINDS [: By Carl Van; Doren - This book of. criticism treats a
number of people who stand out hi the mind of its author], Carl. Van
Doren. We find included, Edna St. Vincent Millay, George Ade, Robert
Frost, H. L. Menken gt; Carl Sandburg and Vachel Lindsay. The criticisms
reflect the critic's personality and philosophy although he says of
himself that "he is neither creator or critic" but that "he is what he
ilves." Van Doren does not look at a piece of literary work with the
question "It it good?" Paramount" in *his mind but rather "It it alive?"
The qualities of being good, true or beautiful are subordinate to that
one quality of being alive according to this critic.. Carl Van Doren
gives us a measuring stick by which we can judge iterature. . He says
"The measure of the creator is the amount of life he puts into his work.
The measure of the critics is the amount of life he finds there."

WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHCK3L; BEIXINGHAM/WASHINGTON CHENEY
SAVAGES DEFEAT VIKINGS IN HOMECOMINGGAME Eastsiders Take Hard Fought
Battle by 6 to 0 Count. A Touchdown Made Early in First Quarter. GOOD
CjROWD ATTENDS Vikings Come Back in Last Quarter But Lack Scoring Punch
in the Critical Moments. Last week-end the Cheney Savages dropped in on
t he home of the Vikings to pay their annual grid respects. They stayed
over night and long enough the next day to carry home with them nearly
everything that the Vikings had, and in particular, the annual homecoming
football game. Yes, once again the Vikings came off Hhe field of honor
with a defeat chalked up against them. This time the score was not so
large as those of previous games this season, but large enough to bring
about a defeat for Bellingham. Cheney Scores The Savages scored in the
first period of play after the Viking attack- had forced the visitors
deep into defensive territory where they held their opponents to downs
and then came back with a vicious attack that swept the locals backward
beyond their own goal Cheney failed to convert the t ry for point and the
score stood Cheney 6-Bellingham 0. The" quarter ended without either team
making any material gains. The second quarter ran along quietly enough
until Weber, Viking back, took one of Odell's passes for a long gain, but
was' stopped before he could reach the Cheney goal. At the end. of the
half the score was unchanged, and two tired and worn teams left the field
for a few minutes rest before the ' second half started. Erickson Looks
Good On the opening kick-off of the second half the spectators were
given a real thrill when Erickson took Cheney's kick from his own
twenty-yard line down through the center of the field to the Cheney
fifteen-yard line before he was stopped by the Savage safety man. It
looked like a sure score for Bellingham for a few seconds. The fourth
period was a hard period of play in which the Vikings had the ball most
of the time. The locals had the visitors out-played all during the last
half and from all indications should have- pushed over a score but the
Cheney defense proved impregnable at the most critical periods of play
and stopped the Vikings three times inside their own three-yard line.
The Vikings played " a glorious game and deserve real credit for their
showing. Weber and Erickson played a bang-up game of football and
Williams' work in backing up the line during the second half was indeed
commendable. Anderson's work at end was outstanding for the Vikings.
First Turnout Held in Preparation tor Basketball Season Basketball
season at the Normal is now getting under way^ Monday night saw the
initial turnout of the prospective hoopsters for the 1928- 29 season. As
yet very little can be said in regard to the material, but it is hopped
that at the close of the present football season will add materially to
the squad; since none of the football men are turning out until after the
grid season closes. SEVEN CLOG DANCES MASTERED BY CLASS It seems that
the Folk Dancing and Clogging class is lacking in enthusiasm when but
three new girls have joined. The girls who are turning out now are very
persevering and they have learned seven clogs. These are: Dixie, Yankee
Doodle, Hay Foot, Straw Foot, Swanee, Kentucky Home and Listen to t he
Mocking Bird. Besides these clogs, several folk dances have been learned.
Miss Dozier wishes to announce that visitors are welcome to any turnout
of this group, which meets Mondays and Wednesdays at four o'clock.

Popular- Odell, Jewell and Carver are settled down to a quiet little game
of pinochle. Others busy themselves by looking out of the window or in
reading up on history or t h e like. Weber beats me to the window side of
the seat, so I sit and watch the pinochle game. Carver wins! What is
this! We are stopping. Woods to the right and woods to left of us. A long
sidetrack comes into view. Presently it is occupied by another train
bound back to where we are from. Just a stop in the wilds between
Blanchard and Burlington. Burlington next. Weber gets off to see if the
home town is still on the map. I appropriate his seat next the window.

to the outside of the car. Green fields flash by. A farmer speeding to
