.Heigh, ho, everybody; heigh, ho!  The top of the mornin' an' all that 
sort of jolly rot, don'cha know! Boys  and girls, I'm feelin' fit as a
fiddle  this mornin'! It all goes to prove  that love is a wonderful
thing—even  if there is no good in men.  FUTURISTIC TREND WDLL BE  IN
EVIDENCE AS STUDENTS  GATHER AT CLEVER DANCE.  DEL SMITH CHAIRMAN  What
would college be if there  werer rib boys who could play banjos?  One of my
happiest college  memories will be of sitting around  a room; parked on a
pillow, with the  air so full of smoke that it could  be sent home parcel
post, and some  body playing a banjo and the rest  of us harmonizing.  The
capacity for good fellowship  which is engendered by such sessions  in
rooms on the third floor  back, is one of the things which  lasts long
after the knowledge of the  glory which once was Greece has  faded into the
dim recesses of an  unused memory.  College is a happy period of life,  if
one will make it so. I'd rather  be able to be happy than to have  a long
face and understand three  consecutive words of eight syllables  each. So
I'll probably never amount  to anything, but who cares?  Is that dragon
showing any signs  of becoming deceased, Ing? Last  week I gave the Mens
Club special  investigating committee a lot of  questions to answer. I
wonder what  it did with them.  If the committee is still engaged  in its
investigations of the nefarious  or laudible (take your choice)
administration  of the $2 quarterly  health fee, it might also be referred 
to the last copy of the governor's  budget, which, under the detail of 
Normal school expenditures, shows  the president's estimate of receipts 
from this' fund, and the requests  made to the stale for health department 
funds and for what purposes.  This may shed a bit of authentic  light on
the question which,  may it ever be remembered, was  raised for a point of
information  only.  Let me suggest thai a copy of  the report of the
committee be given  upon completion to The Viking for  publication. Despite
the rapidity  with which the discussion concerning  it became extinct, it
is not a  dead issue yet.  CENSORED.  If this colyum ever had a, policy, 
one plank in the platform would be  that no poetry was to be printed,  but
if I write it (I mean the poetry),  why of course that a girl in a
different—  er, ah, fur coat. Also, to  win the support of the
Women's  Christian Temperance (why don't  they call it Abstinence) Union, a
 temperance lecture would go good  here. This shows the baleful effects  of
one glass of beer. (Sorry  to steal your thunder, Mr. Greaves)  Unlimited
pleasure is promised for  all the freshmen and the sophomore  boys who come
to the Freshman  Futuristic Frolic at 8:30 tomorrow  night in the big
gymnasium.  Color Emphasized  For the special benefit of the sophomore 
girls and as the "next best  thing" for those who are unable to  attend the
party, the committee has  arranged for trie darice music of  Kibble's
Viking Pirate orchestra to  go on the air over Bellingham KVOS  from 10 to
11 p. m.  Del Smith reports that all the  plans have materialized as
expected  and that the frosh party will be  everything it has been "cracked
up"  to be in the publicity it has already  been given. ^  Color has been
blended in the  most ultra-modern manner in the  decorations as planned and
designed  by Edith Jenkins. There will be  literally miles of serpentine to
get  tangled up in, and soft colored lights  will be focused on the wall
and ceiling  decorations. Punch and all colored  cookies will be served for
refreshments.  All students must have tickets to  attend the dance. These
will be on  sale on the main landing during the  noon hour today. All who
have not  paid their dues must do so before  getting a ticket.  Everyone is
urged to wear and display  as much color in their clothes  as they can.
Informal clothes are  in order and fancy colored sweaters  and dresses are
what the committee  approves. Even loud neckties  are not taboo.  The
futuristic posters that have  been on display in the main hall  this week
were designed and drawn  by Wynn Haws.  The Board of Control held its 
weekly meetifig Tuesday at 11 o'clock  instead of Monday during the noon 
period.  The Boiird, discussed trie sending  of a delegate to the Pacific
Northwestern  Student Conference, to be  held November 28 and 29 at Reed 
College hi Portland. It was decided  to refer the matter to the  student
body.  By a vote of the Boardj the regular  weekly Monday meeting was 
changed to Tuesday at 4 o'clock.  Mary McDonald was chosen  chairman or a
committee to plan  the quarterly Board party.  —'

'•[••h^C^. -'.V:'.;  Miss Amy Hemingway Jones was  the
guest of the International Relations  club on Monday afternoon.  The club
met at an informal tea in  the Women's League club room.  Miss Jones, who
is division assistant  of the Carnegie Endowment for  International Peace
was here in the  interest of the International Mind  Alcoves, which have
been estab  lished by the Endowment in the  public library of this city. 
The Carnegie Endowment have  equipped one hundred and fifty-six  libraries
in cities and towns in the  United States with these International  Mind
Alcoves. Their purpose  is to aid readers in gaining a wider  knowledge of
the peoples of the  world and to "stimulate an international  mind". The
books placed  in these alcoves are chosen from  the most recent
publications . that  bear upon art, customs, the culture  and the
government of foreign nations  and peoples.  Miss Jones is also executive
secretary  of the international Relations  clubs. At present she is
particularly  interested in establishing  International Relation clubs in
col  leges and universities throughout  the United States.  The purpose of
these clubs is to  unite thestudents of the world in  "closer understanding
arid friendship.  '.;;•,  Members of our club who heard  Miss Jones

s h^  Members of our ciub whp heard  Miss Jones speak agreed that she 
possessed a charming personality.  Th^y; were greatly impressed with 
her^aifc;^;^^^  Miss Mable Zoe Wilson, Miss Lillian  George and Miss
Beatrice Doty  are attending the meeting of the  Northwestern District
Library Association,  held at Renton, Washington,  today.  . The
certification of the school librarians,  teachers taking care of  school
libraries, and the county library  law'will;-be discussed at this  meeting.
 Four Districts in Association  The state of Washington is divided  into
four districts, Northwest,  Northeast, Southwest, and Southeast, 
Bellingham is located in the  Northwest district, which also includes  the
following counties: King,  Kitsap, San Juan, Skagit, Snohomish,  and
Whatcom.  Each district has a special library  association, composed of
librarians  who give their time to the study of  school and public
libraries.  County Library Law  Miss Wilson States: "If the county  library
law goes into effect it  will be most beneficial to teachers.  At present
there are no centralized  book resources in the state and  teachers run
into many difficulties  in obtaining books for their schools.  "There is
not one student in the  Bellingham Normal school that will  not be
confronted with the library  problem during the first week spent  at
school.  "There are many things focusing  right now, through this
association,  in order to insure work facilities for  future teachers." 
Committee to Report  During the past year, a committee  was appointed to
make a survey  of the library situations over the  state. This committee is
to give  its report at the meeting today  and Miss Wilson says: "The re 
suits of this investigation may be  very illuminating.!' They will be 
printed in next week's issue of The  Viking.  -o—' • .  Second
of Concerts  To Be Given Monday  (Editorial) -  Nearly three weeks ago from
gathering mists emerged a dreami train  that had a tendency to travel
despite the ties, rails, wheels, and engine  that were cast from weak
PROBABILITY metal.  The track started from The Northwest Viking office arid
continued  as far as the eye could ascertain in the direction of the Normal
of tomorrow.  There was a dinky engine, an empty fuel car, a freight car, 
and two day coaches. One of these criaches held the vision of a blue  and
white clad 35 piece Normal pep band; the other was empty.  The editor
jumped into the day coach, arid amid his lonely surroundings  proceeded to
type eut an article calling for a band, and when  he had finished he had
the fuel that barely started the train for soriie  way off destination. 
The whole trend of thought was to gradually build up a student  band, under
the guidance of the music departriierit arid school officials.  This
editorial appeared in the October 31 issue.  The train was just coming to a
halt when Harold B. Srnith, of the  music department arid leader of the
Bellingham Little Symphony, hopped  aboard, donned an engineer's outfit,
arid brought the train up to the first  station to wait for passengers. 
Last year considerable interest was manifested in a pep band that  was
initiated by students and carried through entirely by them. There  was a
noted co-operation, individual dependability, and a desire to serve  the
school with the best Peppers obtainable under the handicapped
circumstances,  that afforded material for the present band hopes.  There
are a number of facts to be found out before the plan can  (Continued on

President-C.H.. Fisher, who has  been absent from school for several 
weeks, will be horrie Thanksgiving  Day, according to word received by 
Miss Roseanria McQuesten, his secretary.  President Fisher will spend this 
week-end at Washington, D. C,  where he will attend the Child  Health
Conference at the White  House.  This meeting was called by President 
Herbert Hoover, who appointed  a committee to investigate the  problems of
child health.

furthered, and those under their. jurisdiction are asked to sign the  paper
posted in The Viking office, immediately.  It is necessary to find out:  1.
How many students are interested in founding the  organization. (Men and
women.)  2. How many have had musical experience.  "~~~~ 3. How many wish
to take up such work under faculty  supervision. (  4. How many instruments
are available.  There are a number of phases and tangents, many of which
conflict,  affiliated with the freight being carried by the dream train. 
It is hoped that some plan ;can be devised to collect the necessary 
instruments that will be lacking to start with. There may be some who  are
interested that will purchase instruments, while far fetched hopes list 
the possibility of a certain amount owned by the school.  However,, when it
comes to the problem of financing, regardless of  the purchasing of
instruments, the band may strike an insurmountable  obstacle.  ' Paul J.
Lusterman, faculty teacher of band music, is being figured  in as an.aide
to Smith. There is some question, though, as to how this  will fit into the
faculty requirements and work.  Mr. Smith stated this week: "I hope that
some means will be devised  to find out if there is enough interest
concerned to put the proposition  to President Fisher when he returns. I
will give all the help I can,  and am hoping that an organization can be
started this winter quarter."  It is planned to start the band now and
gradually build it up, within  a few years, to being the pride of Normal
school activities. There is  one point with the band, that being that the
three year requirements will  give the instructor time to train the
inexperienced.  . In all probability a class credit will be given, and the
practices will  be held during a regular required period.  It is up to the
students to turn the PROBABLE into the REAL.  It is being fostered by The
Viking and Smith, solely because it is a  worthy item that will ultimately
be necessary when the school has reached  the peak of its endeavors to make
this one of the leading educational institutions  of the country.  This is
one of the most constructive measures that have been put  before the
students in some time. It is for their benefit, as well as their 
posterity. It is something for them to work out and call their own, yet 
they will receive strong support from the necessary faculty if they show 
the proper attitude and spirit.  The whole issue now depends on its start
from the students. If  nothing is done immediately, the whole dream train
will be taken off the  run and the tracks torn up without further
publicity.  NO BRIBES  . Once again the Sophomore class at the University
of Washington  lias started a contest to determine the man with the
championship beard.  In fact, there will be several champs, as there are
various divisions within  the race for the different beards raised. The
contest will last a month  and will end November 25.'  On the final day the
contestants will line up before a committee  of co-eds who will pick the
winners. This will be one contest where pergonal  favoritism won't affect
the judges' decisions, as it is a known fact  that the pretty co-eds will
be unable to recognize the relief map that lies  beneath the bearded
forests. And, what's more, we assure any girls  dancing with the men
competing that tweezers are the best remedy.  Exactly at 6:55:10 o'clock
the receiver  was taken; from the hoo^ on  the telephone in the offices of
The  Northwest Viking office Monday  evening, and the new night service 
was inaugurated.  Heretofore The Viking room has  not been plugged into any
of the  four trunk lines used after five in  the evening. After several
attempts  to have these connections made, a.  lineman arrived on the scene
Monday  morning and the work was soon  completed on the most used night 
phone in the main building.  The crowds milled about the press  rooms on
the second floor, inside  of which were the paper officials.  Eddie Serwalt
placed the first call  at exactly 6:55 and ten seconds later  he was
talking to Kate Cerrocki The  Viking co-ed. chosen to be on the  other end
of the dedication. The  sound was picked tip by'a "mike"  and relayed to
the crowds outside.  The conversation, which was started  from The Viking
office", was Carried  on as follows:  "Hello, can you hear me?"  "Yes,
quite plain." . • __  "Well, I can hear you, too."  "The Viking is
certainly to be  complimented on its new service,  and the workmen should
be commended  for their great accomplishment  in making this achievement 
possible."  "Goodbye."  "Goodbye."  Student Conference  At Portland College
 It has not as yet been decided  whether or not our school will send  a
delegation to the Students' International  Conference at Reed's College, 
Portland. Quentin Quick, student  body president, stated that the  question
would probably be decided  in today's assembly.  If a delegation is sent,
it will be  chosen 'either by a^ faculty committee  or by the International
 Relations Club. Probably two students  will make up the delegation.  Miss
Amy Hemingway Jones, who  was a guest of the International  Relations Club
on Monday after  noon, is to be one of the speakers  at the conference. 
The purpose of the conference is  to increase interest in the study of 
international questions. Problems  arising out of conditions in the 
countries in the Pacific area will  especially interest the conference. 
Last Tuesday in assembly we;  /Were celebrating P^eafe.  We looked
expectantly toward  The day when wa^rs will cease,rf  Then we swallowed up
"The Cop-  -:, ,perhead"  Like a flock of hungry geese.  The Dean pro tern
enjoined us to  Intelligent consideration.  She hinted that we held the key
 To international salvation;  That we must think and not emote,  And
advocated toleration.  Our Normal audience, we're told,  • I s t
quite sophisticated.  Our minds. have made us hooey-proof,  Our feelings
armor-plated.  We are the upper five per cent,  We are the EDUCATED.  There
rose before this great array  Of gems, of mental rubies,  An actor skilled
in swaying crowds  With wild dramatic hooeys;  We acted like the foremost
row  At ten-cent, Western movies.  I grieve to see the students as  They
fall before the glamour  Of some appeal emotional;  I hate to see them
clamor  For stuff which won't provoke a  thought,  And gooey
"mellerdrammer^"  The Training School assembly was  Also on Tuesday's
bills.  They gave a war-prevention skit  Which hadn't any frills. '  The
kids got food for thought, but  we.  Got nationalistic thrills.  Oh, why do
we, the 'fore ordained,  The Mental Aristocracy,  The Intellectual
Uppercrust,  Of this here now Democracy, y  Embrace with such moronic zest 
This super-sold hypocrisy.  This spirit is the same one which  Has kept the
trenches f ulL  It makes it simple thus to keep  Their eyes beneath the
wool.  Oh, heaven help us with our schools  In hands so gullible.  Such
actions you might well expect  From brainless, dumb carousers;  But watch
our A and B—I. Q.'s,  Be they in skirts or trousers,  They'll sway
like aspen trees before  These skillful "rabble-rousers."  I sigh to see
such genius gripped  By patriotic thermo-tension.  "In education lies our
hope,"  But- this is my sincere contention  That such reactions look .to me
 Decidedly like Peace-Prevention.  U.OFW. SPONSORS  The~ University of
Washington is  sponsoring an essay contest in order  to arouse widespread
interest in  Simon Bolivar, the great South  American statesman and
patriot. It  is believed that more should be  known about this great
liberator of  half a continent. On rfecember 17,  'the hundredth
anniversary of the  death of Simon Bolivar will be commemorated. 
••'.;. s'rHO'iq.^  The subject of the'essay must  have some
bearing l%ijpn the life,  character, or achievements of Simon  Bolivar as
statesman, soldier, orator,  and patriot, or the significance of  his many
activities ih: the history  of the New World. ' 'Vl :  -All essays
submitted mustvbe typewritten  and in/the hands of the  committee b y
December 1.  The papersvmay either be written  in Spanish or English. The
length  of the essay should be from 2000 to  2500 words. All Normal
students are  eligible to the contest.  Medals and other prizes have been 
solieited from various Spanish-  American governments and historical 
societies. •  The Spanish essays will be read  by three distinguished
Spanish-  Americans; those in English will be  judged by committees of
instructors  of history and, languages. .• gt;  LIBRARY RECREATION 
Two bookcases in the library have  been set aside in the general reading 
room, near the door, for recreational  reading. This is a new policy  and
will be permanent from now  on.  Miss Mable Zoe Wilson wishes the  students
to watch these bookcases  and notify the reference librarian  of any books
they would like to  read.  These books are placed here for  recreational
reading only, because  the librarian considers'^ that "All  work and no
play" is a bad policy.  . 0" "••'•'• -'.-  IOC  WHY

championship.  wsragimm  We should be proud of the show-ihg  our team made
a week ago in  the Tacoma stadium, when they tied  the College of Puget
Sound 0-0.  Most of the so-called football critics  from the base of Sehome
predicted  a 20-0 score, but they figured without  reckoning with the new
fight  the boys seem to have acquired lately.  G. P. S. was beaten by the
university  team 60-0. That makes us  only sixty points lower than Jimmie 
Phelan's first Washington team.  Now, wasn't that a startling con  elusion?
 BY VIKING SQUAD  OPPONENTS A R E SURPRISED  BY NORMALITE STRENGTH.^  LINE
HOLDS WELL  After the game Saturday, football  will be put on the shelf in
this  school for another season, and a lot  of boys will have to think up
another  excuse for not getting their  lessons. Oh, well, basket ball is 
right in the wind now, but, after all,  is there any sport as grand as dear
 old football? -  I wonder if Dutch Wilder will be  back for his eighth
year of student  coaching next year?  The first cut in basket ball left 
only seventeen men out of the thirty-  eight that answered the first call. 
Sam, is still looking for material  though, and invites every man in 
school to take a try at it. Looking  over the list that survived the cut, 
I saw names of high school stars and  a few veterans from last year's 
squad. The men now out and the  football men that will turn out next  week
are having friendly quarrels  concerning "How the strong football  men will
strengthen up the squad."  Well, we shall see.  "Every man in school on
some  team of basket ball," is the motto  adopted by  gt;\~ the Athletic
Council,  and an intramural schedule is to be  drawn up to find the
champions of  the school. Several teams have already  shown their intention
of joining  the league. Among them are  teams from the Kitchen Krew, Men's 
Club, Thespians', Vanadis Bragi, Alley  Cats; Co-ops, Philos, and several 
of the boys' halls. That is a good  start, but more are wanted. If you  are
not on one, organize one yourself  and let Carver know about it,  and he
will tell you when you can  use. the gym' to practice.  Isn't that— 
a swell black eye Bill Thompson is  sporting—a. beaner of a shoe
brush  on Les Vdris' Up—too bad that  Fairhaven lost the Armistice
game  --too bad that they are still hollering  about the right of the
score-too  bad that so many of the Normal  students lost money on the
game—  terrible that the editor of this column,  can't find news
enough to fill  the line.  Lastf ^Saturday a fighting Blue  and -White team
tied the powerful  C/P. S. gridders 0-0.  It was a hard fought game with 
the Vikings given no chance with  the big Red and White team. The  Vikings,
however, gave C. P. S. the  scare of the season.  The game started with the
locals  kicking off. Shelton made a beautiful  kick deep into the
opponents'  territory. Baker, star Sound fullback,  received the ball back
of his  own goal and was just nicely under  way when Moultray, a Blue and 
White tackle, nailed him, putting  the ball on Tacoma's ten yard line. 
Weicking, College quarter, confident  his team could advance, called three 
plays before he kicked. The Vikings  were playing hard football from  the
opening gun. On the fourth  down they kicked to Brinkman, Vik  ing safety,
who received the ball on  the 40 yard line, returning it to  the 30.  Then
the first Viking invasion got  under way. Pldwers and Iverson  crashed over
tackle for several gains,  advancing the bail to the 10 yard  line. Here
the Red and White de  fense stiffened and they fought  bravely and stopped
a Normal score  by inches. The ball then changed  hands.  C. P. S. kicked
out of danger, but  Brinkman couldn't handle the punt,  which was finally
grounded on the  Normal's 30 yard line. The Blue  and White again started f
or. a  touchdown, but without success. The  first quarter ended with the
ball in  the Red and White team's territory,  where it had been most of the
 time.  The second quarter was characterized  by a brilliant Puget Sound 
offensive and stubborn Viking de  fense. The Normal forward wall,  with its
back to the goal, fought  like mad and succeeded in holding  for three
downs, putting the ball a  few inches from a touchdown. The  C. P. S.
quarter called his powerful  fullback, Baker, to drive over the  locals^
line. He was stopped in  mid-air by the stubborn Viking line  and C. P. S.
failed to score. Normal  kicked out of danger and the rest  of the first
half was a see-saw affair.  The second half started with the  Vikings
receiving. Early in this  period the Normal again threatened  to score,
only to have its hopes  shattered by the stubborn defense  of their
opponents.  At the beginning of the fourth  quarter both teams began to
open  up. C. P. S. sent a barrage of passes  into the Viking defense. Two
ten  yard passes were completed before  Hopkins, Normal center, intercepted
 one to stop the rally;  The Normal's last drive promptly  started, with
Iverson, Flowers and  Wilder advancing the ball to the  seven yard line.
Here the Vikings  were again stopped.  It was late in the game when

—  ARMISTICE SOCCER  Playing the game that decided  the superiority
of the. sexes in soccer,  the women's team defeated  the*, boys of the
(training school  by a, score of 6-0, Tuesday noon.  With the addition of
the best  players that it could muster, the  women's team was considerably 
stronger in this game. Coaches Dixon  and Carboneau used up all reserves 
in an attempt to stem the tide of  Blue and White that swept down  the
field for goals. But, with Flo  Goodman, Bernice Gnagey, and Sig-red 
Wiberg in the forward line, the  boys were powerless to aid in any  way.  0

cheering message  from Ray Craft of the Aberdeen  World, a former editor of
The  Viking, received Monday.  Mr. Craft says his job is "sweet."  He has
lots of work, but no boss.  His beat covers two towns, South  Bend and
Raymond, taking in the  court house, city hall and other  news sources.  C.
