FROSH*  AIMS AND HINTS  EDUCATION ON AIR  INFANT INTELLIGENCE  By D. C. A. 
4 -  Have you noticed how many fresh  there are frosh from high school? 
(Shucks, after beginning this new  '•". quarter we're sort of
topsyturvy.)  But there are quite a number of  youthful frosh here,
venturing for  .the first time to a higher institution  "•"' of
learning. ' The local high  schools yielded a nice crop of green  ones, who
are sprouting diligently  under the influence of Normal behavior. 
:.-•—•.•:  Do you remember, old-timers,  when you
first entered this Normal-by-  the-sea-arid-mountaihs, how insignificant 
you felt? After coming  immediately from a "high" where  you were a high
and mighty senior,  you entered as a mere freshman,  unknown,
unheralded—-just one in a  lot of freshmen. This quarter, however, 
the freshmen are going to get  a break. We won't treat you as  green,
unlearned outsiders, but  rather we welcome you. as one of us  and expect
you ^to pack up some of  your secondary school- ways and  relics and join
us in doing things  in the 1931 bigger college way!  Y._':'-
-'."V-'-_-w.s,N^s^-;  One of our main dims in this institution  is not only
to gain an education,  not' only to study for our  own sake, but to make it
easier for  others to gain knowledge through  study. X^entle hint to frosh:
There  is an old tradition of courtesy obeyed  by all students of this
school, to  make it easier for your fellow worker  to study in our fine new
library.  In other Words, the dignity and  studious atmosphere lent by the 
building itself, carries through to  the students, and it is a sacrilege to
 use it for a place to play around")  —W.S.N.S.—  It is
predicted that a few years  hence, radio will play a great part  in the
educational systems throughout  the states. Eeven today, intense  interest
is being shown in education  by broadcast. Pamphlets sent out  to teachers
proved that, in general,  educational broadcasts are finding  favor with
the schools. Teachers  confirmed emphatically the general  theory, that to
be a significant educational  factor, radio broadcasts  must stimulate-the
pupils to related  activities. It is indicative of . tlie  contemporary
interest in the creative  work of school children in that  more than l.-OOO
original poems were  sent in as a result of a program conducted  by Edwin
Markham, who  read' selections from his own writings.  The dramatizations
of historic  episodes -stimulated several groups  of pupils to dramatize
other events.  Teachers stated that through the  radio, interest was
promoted in debating,,  folk lore and; music, and in  geographical studies
and activities;  Isolated rural schools especially  welcome  gt; these :
educational broadcasts.  .The Columbia• Broadcasting  System, Inc.,
will broadcast a new  i'93i: program of five programs ft  week
Insfcead^ofvtwoV and,the; : pre-grams  will; be differentiated for the 
grade groups, such as primary, intermediate,  junior and Mnibr high 
school.  WILLMEETi  GAME lON: WHATCOM; FLOOR;  TIGHT DEFENSE EXPECTED  OF
VISITING QUINTET.  LINE-UP IS NOT DECIDED  The Varsity basketball team goes
 on the floor Saturday night for their  first regular game of the '31
season  against Centralia Junior college; The  game is- to be played on%he
Whatcom  floor.  Coach Carver has not announced  his starting line-up and
probably  will follow his custom of naming  the team just before game time.
As  one guess is as good as another, the  line-up may include -Thorsen and 
Dixon at forwards; Abbot, center,  and Rork and Skotheim in the back 
court. This line-up has been used  in preliminary work-outs before but 
Carver may try another combination.  • John Dixon may not be ready
for  a full game, as he is just recovering  from the flu, however, the rest
 of the squad are in fine physical  condition.  Vikings Look Good  The
Vikings look just as good and  maybe a little better than they did  last
year. There is a better scoring  threat for .one thing. The game with  the
Bellingham Athletic Club showed  that the boys-have scoring power,  with
the guards tossing in their  share of the baskets. Jim Rork  scored twenty
points in this game,  while Thorsen and Skotheim are  showing ability
toward hitting the  loop from the guard positions.  Sherman may start at
one of the  forward posts. He is a good shot  and has had a lot, of
experience,  having played on three of the best  Anacortes teams when in
high school  and in two state tournaments.  The Viking defense is another 
thing. Most of the time they check  well but now and then in their  anxiety
to score, they play a little  too lose and let their opponents in  for easy
shots. Coach Carver is  stressing this phase of the game  and hopes to have
a tight defense  for the Centralians.  Nothing is known as to the, 
strength of the visitors. Mr. Ed  Rairdon, a former Viking athlete,  is
coach of the J. C.'s. His team  put up a great fighting battle on  the grid
last fall, so we may expect  plenty of action on the floor. It  will be a
case of the old ;teachef  meeting his pupil, as Rairdbh played  for the
Normal under Carver several  years/ ago.. Nothing "would please 
NEW:iKLIPSyN COVER  INSPECTED BY STAFF  AT* BUSINESS MEETING  Last
Wednesday the staff of this,  year's Klipsun held a meeting to  talk with
Mr. Fred Miller, representing  the Blake-Moffitt   Towne Paper  Company,
and to make assignments.  The cover that has been, selected  for this
year's annual was shown to  the group at this time. It is something  new in
the history of the  school, for it is of a cloth binding  instead of the
usual imitation leather  covering that has been, used in  the past years.
The design of .the  cover is being kept secret, but ,it  is to be finished
in a blue and silver,  the air brushing system being  used in the coloring.
 The other work is progressing at  a rapid rate, reports Suzanne Waters, 
editor of the annual, and the  members of the staff are keeping  up with
their schedules, which will  make it possible to have this year's  annual
ready for distribution by, the  latter part of May.  o ___  LEUNING TO

artist who  started heir career M this section of  the continent and who
has since  achieved widespread fame, the students  at the coming Tuesday
assembly  will be entertained by Ethel  Codd Luening, lyric soprano from 
the Canadian, Northwest.  She started singing and attaining  attention in
the Canadian cities of  Winnipeg, Victoria, and Vancouver.  This was some
fifteen years ago. At  the age of 19 she joined a light opera  company and
in six weeks was prima  donna.  Several Scholarships  She has secured
several scholarships  in music schools and has taken  leading' roles in
some of the large  operas that have been presented in  the East. She has
been complimented  particularly on the wonderful  way that she is able to
handle  the exacting features of Mozart's  music. . lt;  After listening to
one of the New  York operas, Pitts Sanborn, of the  New*York.Telegram,
stated that "the  best voice heard last night was the  soprano of Miss
Ethel Codd Luening."  She has also appeared in. Wagnerian  presentations
with the Rochester  Philharmonic Orchestra.  Geraldine Roth, of the local
music  department, will accompany the  artist in the program that is listed
 as follows: I  ." I. ' •'. ', '  Second Aria "Queen of the Night"

Incorporated, holder of. the  contract for photographic work on  the
Klipsun, was..present at tthe  Board of Control .meeting last Tuesday 
afternoon, and replied to the  complaints made by Quentin, Quick,  student
body president.  Quentin Quick explained the position  of the students who
had  found cause to complain of the photographic  work. "Some students 
when desiring a resitting were not  granted it, as Jukes considered their 
work satisfactory." The answer of  the studio was that the resittings  were
desired because the students  wanted a change in clothing or arrangement 
of their hair. This was  considered a new picture and not a  resitting. 
Mr. Vincent explained from his  viewpoint the difficulty that some 
students have had and offered to  cancel his contract if the explanation 
was not accepted as satisfactory  by the Board. The members  decided to
accept his report and the  contract will remain with Jukes.  The Board
charged the following  one-dollar-apiece lor" their resettlngs,"  as it
considered the photographers  not at fault for the necessity of a 
resetting. They are: Betty Schmidt,  Fay Davis, Janet Ferguson, Irene 
Wilson, Nellie Parker, Jane Eyre,  Sadie Margolis, Jean Fergusen, and  R.
L. Heaton.  John Rajala and Howard Wilder,  the committee for choosing the
Rec  hour orchestra, reported that the orchestra  tryouts will be held this
 evening in the gym at the regular  Friday Rec hour.  Air of the Board of
Control members  were present, but the report- of  Sam Ford on the Student
Co-op was  postponed again. It was decided to  have the report next week.

 ^ 500,000 Square Miles Visibfe ;!  Byrd is 'unique among explorers  in
that his use of the' airplane made  it possible for him to amass scientific
 data of inestimable value: in several  fields. Where previous polar
explorers  had been able to survey perhaps  eight' miles bri either side of
their  path, Byrd, through • the use of the  airplane, was able to
look" down on  a visible area of! 500,000 square miles.  Experts in each of
several fields  of scientific study were selected to  make the trip with
Byrd. Each man  made a study of the scope of his  work and the instruments
which  would be nefeded. An interesting  phase of t h e scientific
investigations  is found in the fact that many of  the most valuable
instruments were  designed and built from available  material after the
party had reached  the Antarctic.  One of the most sensational results  of
t he expedition was t h e number  of photographs which were taken.  A large
number of the motion  pictures were arranged and released  by a prominent
producer, but many  of the most unusual pictures were  reserved for Byrd to
use in connection  with his lectures.  Camera Shutters Freeze  Photographs
were made under almost  impossible conditions. In describing  the
photography, Byrd told  of how the motion picture cameras  were' carried
