VOL. XXX—NO. 27 ^4SHINGTON STATE NORMAL SGH OOL, BELLINGHAM,
WASHINGTON Friday, April 24, 195T CONGRATULATIONS WANTED SIGNS WHAT vs.
WHO Roger Chapman. Several more people have joined the great army of the
unemployed. The election depression is over. Four walked out of office,
five walked in, and twelve walked away, and it's a funny thing, if you
get elected, they congratulate you, if not, they congratulate the school.
^ ——W.S.N.S.— PHILOSOPHIZING Nearly every person is a
natural reformer, but he always wants to start reforming the other
fellow.^ W.S.N.S.- Itis not the usual policy of this column to publish.,
want., ads., in competition with the business staff. An exception is made
in this instance. CLASSIFIED WANTED—A woman who will marry a very
eligible young man and teach school (or private fortune tune preferred)
to send him through the university. Qualifications given upon request.
Address Box 0012 B. S. N. S. Columnist's note: Take no chance on
address, girls. See me first and' all will be arranged. W.S.N.S. It must
have been discouraging to the picketers crusading against nonunion
theatres when one of the local show houses changed its name. They, had to
make new signs and now we wonder why the "sandwich men" don't do
something about conditions when all their signs claim that "Our" theater
is unfair to organized labor. W.S.N.S. SUB NORMAL SUSIE SAYS My
roomie's ma gave her a book called, "What a Young Woman Should Know" and
she immediately wrote to the author suggesting twenty corrections and the
addition of three chapters. —;—W;S.N.S. When some new theory
is advanced, such as those connected with our economic life, reactionary
individuals say, "O, yes. It sounds good, but—" Well that's
something in its favor. A lot of our present systems don't even sound
good. ——W.S.N.S. Do you come to school to get knowledge or
to make friends? Knowledge, you say. Yes, at least a diploma. All through
our education the WHA T side of our training is stressed. We are told
thai WHAT we know is the thing that makes for success, but after we get
out in-the World of competition well find that WHAT is not nearly as
important as WHO. (Continued on Page Two) SALARY REDUCTION, INCREASE IN
FEES P A S S M Y BOARD DROPPING OF FACULTY MEMBERS CONSIDERED UNWISE BY
PRESIDENT. Fisher Is Re-Elected POSITIONS} LEFT VACANT BY RESIGNATIONS
UNFILLED. The Normal Board of Trustees met Friday, April 17, for the
purpose od adopting a policy regarding the ad justements made necessary
by the recent budget cut. • Changes were necessary in both faculty
salary reduction and an increase in student fees. It was decided to make
a five percent reduction in the salaries paid at the Normal including the
president, faculty, office staff and employees. Student Fees Increased
Since the teachers share in this cut it was felt that it was only fair
that the students too should share in this emergency situation. In view
of this fact, there will be an increase amounting to five dollars per
quarter in the existing fees but no new fees will be added. In commenting
on this change, President C. H. Fisher said: "We had to either add on to
the present student fees or drop members of the faculty and we felt that
we could not do this without crippling the work of the school. At this
meeting the policy was adopted to preserve what has been built up during
the past years." Will Maintain Contracts In this school, contracts are
made with the present faculty running to (Continued on Page Four) _ o

Seeks Sight of the Sovereign Vancouver Visitor Vanishes From View Of
Siam; Instead She Sees Svasti (By HELEN FOSTER) April 17th, when Canada
and the United States had their first glimpse of Royalty with the arrival
of the King of Siam, I held an interested position as one of the many
spectators who thronged the street outside the Canadian Pacific Railway
station waiting for the royal party to disembark. Well, this is the
closest I haye ever been to Royalty, to say nothing of an Absolute
Monarch, and then I didn't see King Prajahipok, but I did see his father-
in-law, Prince Svasti. •'',1'.':-The.' Oriental Sovereign, coming

husband, leaving her father, Prince Svasti, to accept the welcome. With
his jovial manner and democratic ideas, the Prince was soon a favorite
with all who met him. He showed a great interest in the news reporters
and asked them more questions than they asked him. At home in Bangkok,
the prince is the owner and editor of the Bangkok Daily Mail, a newspaper
which has both British and American correspondence. Rather proudly did
Prince Svasti exhibit a blackened left eye to the reporters, with the
astonishing explanation that he had received it from her Ladyship, the

operation for appendicitis resulted Sunday in the death of Miss Evelyn
L. Thomas, Normal student for the past seven months, in a local hospital.
Miss Thomas' home was in Prosser, Washington. She graduated from Prosser
high school and then entered Bellingham Normal in September, 1930. Miss
Thomas withdrew from school April 7. She was taken to the hospital
April'8 and operated on that day. Two weeks later she died. o—
NATURALIST PLANS SPEECH HERE SOON F. W. SCHMOE, SCIENCE CHIEF, WILL
ILLUSTRATE LECTURE. In the assembly on Tuesday, April 28, Mr. F. W.
Schmoe, the well-known Western naturalist, will present an illustrated
lecture entitled "The Cruise of a Sea Gypsy in Alaska." Mr. Schmbe is
the executive secretary of the Puget Sound Academy of Science, which has
its headquarters at the University of Washington. He lectured in the
Normal assembly two years ago, having as his subject "My Wilderness
Neighbors," based on his observations around Mt. Rainier. He has been
cruising in Alaska in a forty-foot sailing boat, coyer-. tag, over..3;000
miles of- waterways, having many very interesting "experiences and
securing a splendid set of pictures. The pictures, which he himself
takes, include almost everything from glaciers to Indian mummies and
sailing to big game hunting (with a camera). These pictures are made into
colored slides, and used in illustrating lectures. __ o WOMEN'S GROUP
VOTE OFFICERS IN FOR THREE QUARTERS STARTING IN FALL While political
controversy in the feminine world has not raged as violently as in the
all-school affair, there is stili much doubt as to who will gain the
honors in the Women's League election. Today in the regular assembly the
votes were cast to decide which girls would lead the women's organization
for the Fall, Winter, and Spring quarters of 1931 and 1932. Offices
filled at this time were president, vice-president, s e c r e t a r y,
treasurer, and faculty adviser. Girls whose petitions received the
necessary twenty-five signers and who automatically became nominees were
Vera Esleby and Katherine Frost for president and Miss Ruth Piatt for
faculty adviser. Other names which received various numbers of signers
were: Clara Stokesberry and Cathleen Hill, vice-president; Edith Jenkins
and Bessie Taylor, secretary; Mary Tarbox and Elizabeth Squire,
treasurer; and Miss Hazel Breakey, faculty adviser. These names were
nominated from the floor, since the necessary quota of signers was not
obtained on the bulletin, board petitions. MISS,||ICH TO ATTEND MifellNG
IN SEATTLE Miss Mary E. Rich, president of the Washington State Branch of
Administrative Women in Education, will attend the meeting of that
organization tomorrow in Seattle. The meeting will consist of a luncheon
at the Wilsonian hotel and a ousiness meeting for the election of
officers. .-:: ,;} :• Other faculty members who will attend the

MAL 11 TO 16 BUSY ONE FOR NORMARLITES WITH VODVIL, PICNIC AND DANCE DATES
STARTS TOMORROW Swinging all cares to the winds the coming social season
is guaranteed to put springs under the heaviest-laden pair of sport's
oxfords and to make vivacious the most languid of over-worked and
spring-fevered Normalites. The season will start out with a bang in the
form of a big game with St. Martin's on the local field tomorrow
afternoon. On the heels of this first game of the season will come the
track meet with C. P. S. on Wednesday, April 29. To hail the coming;of
the wonderful month of May the WAA girls have decided to invite the whole
school to a "Jitney Dance." It is to be held on the old tennis courts.
The proverbial "three dances for five cents" with the ladies standing in
the lines that such a dance requires will lend the right amount of
atmosphere to an event that already shows promise of being one of the
ticket sellers of the year. Drama Club Picnic Pop will be sold for the
meager price of five cents and the girls have promised to have on hand
all the pop that the Normalites can consume. Those on the committee for
this dance are. Nina Johansen, Josephine Sabloskie, Marian Grieve, Marie
Wesseler, Dorothy Top, Frei-da Klinski, Hildur Johanson, and Winnie
DeWitt. ,. _ ,v, j ,»/ May 9 will hailthe^coming of the Drama club
picnic to be held at Shoreacres. "According to the reports that have been
received the picnic will be one of those that last all day. Plenty of
amusement is offered in the form of swimming, and games in the afternoon,
dinner at 6:30 and a dance in the evening. Normalites, of icourse, will
not want to miss the Men's club Vod-vil, which, after much discussion, is
to be given on May 11. Jokes, (Continued on Page Two) o :— C. A.

P. M. SSSBSEP •-.— •- -3036 The Viking wishes to express
its regret on hearing the news of the death of Evelyn Thomas, who had been
a student here since September, 1930, and to extend the sympathy of
Bellingham Normal as a whole to her family and friends. .-——'
;—o- : ; ADVERTISE! There are so few, if any, in the school that do
not take pride in the whole make-up of the institution, that they do not
even count when the final score is tallied. But for the large number that
enjoy the surroundings and the life offered to them, recognition is a
great thing. It has been called to the attention pf The Viking several
times that the people of Bellingham, in the main, know comparatively
little of what is going on up here beneath ^ehome^ ,i We have met up with
experiences where visitors claim that they have trouble in finding the
school, and in asking for information find that 'people of. the city know
little or nothing of the place. Some even are vague as to where it is
situated. In other cases it has been proven that sometimes no interest is
taken in the school whatsoever. It is a large problem as to who is to
blame for such a condition existing. But education is needed,in some sugar
pill form. It is no credit to the townspeople,and Jess than that to the
school. It is true that it is not a policy for the school to carry on a
wholesale campaign of advertising on the school that is perched on the
hill. It is quite valuable in many ways to have the place and its activity
well before the eyes of the Bellingham public. . F r o m their side of
it, they are to be criticised in general for not taking . more interest in
a group that brings many dollars into the town each week. .There.are
those, of course, that back the school to the limit. ,^"llie. Viking is
anxious to see that the school gets more recognition in ;trjei future, but
is at a loss to find a way of accomplishing this. It will welcome any idea
the students can submit and will take the responsibility ci. putting over
an "educational" campaign, if it can get hold of one at ^ail feasible. The
students that have any ideas are asked to confer with . the local office
at some convenient date. VIOLA WASTERLAIN PRESENTS GROUP OF VIOLIN
NUMBERS. PRESCRIPTION—DEATH! Apparently the clubs of the school are
dead—at least that is the thought that has been expressed by many
during the last several years. As this issue seems to be a strong one with
many, The Viking set out to find statistics and information that would
substantiate such a statement. Little success was met with. After all it
was found that only a few of the clubs are really dead. It appears that
several of those that make social activity hold the center of the stage,
are having a hard time to weather out the "depression." A great many,
however, are working regularly on some special topic, and are anything but
defunct. The clubs that we speak of as social should not be ranked as
institutions having irresponsible membership, poor leadership, or any
other charges that picture the personnel as more or less dead. It is not
the fault of the people that have joined these in the past few years, but
merely a matter of changes in the daily routine of the school. .There was
a time when Normalites depended on these groups for the major part of
their social life, a thing that is vital to the students, and consequently
good food for the lively club parasites that fed on it. Each year the
social calendar of the school has been made fuller and more rounded. Today
it supplies practically all that the students can absorb in their actual
school life, and the need for; these clubs has been less and less through
it all. There are so many types of these groups that it is impossible to
make all statements and views apply to them, and thus we point out none in
particular but apply everything in a general way. To those groups that
have international problems, the study of politics, history, foreign
relations, the religious and athletic sets, it is evident that they are
working in the enlightenment end and do not get a great deal of opposition
from school society. These are in many cases held together a great deal by
the classroom contact between teached and leader. Those will continue to
thrive. fAs to the clubs that are having a hard time to labor against the
school activities, we feel that they will be better off when they
gradually die a natural death. Then if they are missed and needed it will
be little trouble for them to again take on growth. At the present,
though, sev-jeral of them are at a standstill. THE RIGHT SPIRIT It isn't
so good when an organization starts on a project in the entertainment type
and then fails to give it. But when they immediately retaliate and get
ready to go through with it for sure on a later date, they are to be
complimented. The Men drew criticism when they called their show off, but
they were justified from their standpoint. They were unable to go through
with the, thing as planned, they didn't want to give a "half-baked"
production. They are working harder than ever now and in the end will show
something to the students that will be above the original. But more
important than anything is the fact that they will be keeping an indirect
promise made to the student body. if!!! In the elections recently held at
the University in Seattle two competing candidates were Bledsoe and Howe.

WASHINGTON In the Ellensburg Campus Crier a note that the track, squad
pic-tores were taken and that there were thirty-five men; out in suit.
•These, men think that they will really.have a good chance at
copping high honors at the Tri-Normal meet. ' Were all these men oat to
have their pictures taken or are they really on the team? Anyway it is
nice to hitch your dreams to a star. Last Tuesday in a practice game,
Thorson showed up with a little speed... Campbell was on third and
Thorson was on second. Thorson decided to steal a base so away he Went...
When he got to third, Campbell was still there and so he had to go back
to second, and, he made it. That looks like a little of the **ol pepper"
is in there pitchin*. * Q * - And now they have put the skids on boxing.
A few days ago the faculty committee at the University of Washington
ruled out inter-collegiate boxing. That is a tough hreak, Washington. The
boxing team in the last four years has been doing good work and Coach
Norm Kunde has been a good coach. Of course, it is the right of the
committee to role thusly. Maybe the idea is a good one and maybe not.
That, naturally, must be settled by future developments. Is it just
personal view points or is there really something the matter with boxing?
* Q * Percy Williams, sprint champion star of the 1928 Olympic games,
will come to Bellingham some time this summer and compete against any
sprinter in the 100-yard dash and in the 100-meter events. Williams wants
to limber up and gel in some competition before entering the 1932 Olympic
games where he meets Eddie Tolan of Michigan, who defeated him. lost
year. * Q • Well folks, tomorrow is the day of the first baseball
game of the season. The Vikings will meet the St. Martin's Bangers on
Waldo field at two o'clock. i The squad of boys' are pretty green yet,
but after tomorrow's battle they will be in much better shape. Dixon,
Thorson, McCIeary, Iverson, and H. McCIeary are the veterans and they
will have to help the boys along a bit. Well, let's get out and give the
boys a big hand. • Q « How does the typical track man measure
up with the typical gridiron performer? Statistics. comparisons of the
members of last fall's championship Cougar football team and the present
track and field squad reveal that the average cinder artist is shorter,
lighter and younger than his grid brother. The figures show the average
track man 5 feet 10% iches tall, 161 pounds in weight and 21 years old.
The football average of last fall was 5 feet 11 inches tall, 181 pounds in
weight and 21.7 years old. JIMMY DAVIS IS INDIVIDUAL WINNER BY CINCHING
20 OF THE 87 POINTS SCORED. SOPHOMORES 38 And last week in the
inter-class track meet the frosh beat the upper classmen by a score of 87

Garnering a total of 87 points in the interclass track meet last Saturday
the Prosh:soundly trounced the Sophomores who were able to chalk up but
38 markers. With a total of 11 first, 10 seconds an dthe remainder in
thirds, the yearlings far outplaced the up-perclassmen who had a total of
but 3 firsts, 5 seconds and a few thirds. This defeat dealt out by the
ambitious Frosh was even more staggering than the one of last year, and
points to some very good material for Coach Carver's cinder artists. Time
for the runs was considerably retardted by a stiff wind that slowed the
runners on the straight away. Frosh on Top From the opening event the
Frosh held the upper hand and at no time did the Sophs show themselves to
be outstanding opponents for their rivals. In the first event, the
100-yard dash, the . Frosh jumped immediately in the lea,d when Thomas,
Gable adn Campbell rolled in nine points for their team. Thomas won by a
hairs-breadth in 10 and 4-5 seconds. He also took the 220 in 24 and 1-5,
with Gable a half a stride behind. Probably the most outstanding
contender of the meet was Davis, Frosh, from last year's Burlington track
team. Winning four events— high hurdles, low hurdles, high jump and
broad jump, to make himself high point man of the dual meet with 20
points, proved that he will be a valuable addition to the Normal team.
Bright Fast Norm Bright, Soph, turned in very exceptional time in the 880
and 440. Although not running his favorite event, the mile, Bright made
the half mile in 2:05, and the one lap race in 54 seconds.L In the field
events, Sutton of the Frosh won the shot and discus with distances of 35
ft. 7 in. and 100 ft., respectively. The Tri-C club held its first
meeting of the spring quarter on Wednesday, April 15. Plans for the
spring quarter social activities were discussed and reports made upon the
Candy Party to be given at the Y. W. C. A. sdmetime in the near future.

Grieves, and Evelyn Elliott were the guests of party WrM October 1
and.since the fiscal year began on April 1, the question arose as to
whether the school would be able to maintain the contracts which ran six
months into the fiscal year. It was decided that the contracts must be
kept at all costs. Several members of the faculty have signified their
intention of resignation and their positions will not be replaced. Mr.
James A. Car-rell will return to Northwestern University to continue his
studies and, while his present position in the Speech department will not
be filled, a new adviser to the Northwest Viking will be employed. It
was decided that the new adviser who is not yet named, will carry no
other classes and devote all his time to journalism. Miss Winifred
Spieseke, who has been a substitute teacher in the Social Science
department during the past year will leave. Miss Ilah Hull, training
school teacher of the third grade has resigned her position, and Miss
Esther Stallman, reference librarian, has resigned to return to the
Middle West where her home is. Possibly other changes will be made in the
library staff later on for financial saving. Sundquist Will Return Miss
Hilda Rosene of the Science department was granted a leave of absence for
next year to continue her advanced study at the University of Texas. Miss
Leona Sundquist will return next fall to resume her teaching in the
Science department here. She has spent the past year teaching in Lincoln
School of Columbia University, New York. Mr. Herbert E. Fowler, who is on
leave now at New York University, was granted an extended leave for the
coming year' to continue his work there. Fisher Re-elected President
Fisher, whose term of office expired in September, 1931, was re-elected
for another term of three years, resident Fisher came here in July, 1923,
and will have completed eight years of service this summer. . In light
of his re-election, Fisher said, 'X think the feeling is, as always is
witii trie; president of the school, that my rerelectionia particular-
time,, gives stability to the faculty and to the work of the Final
rehearsals are how being held for the Dance Festival which will be
presented May 7 by Miss Jewell's natural dancing classes, and from all
indications it will be something well worth seeing. We may expect to see
rather remarkable talent shown, in this recital, since only those who
showed outstanding ability in the practices of last quarter make up the
cast. The cast altogether includes fifteen, and the four leads are taken
by Mary McDonald,, Pauline Larkin Edith Koski, and Wilma Neely. An
attempt has been made to include in this presentation each of the various
forms of the; dance, so the program is arranged in four groups: the
first, the tap dance; the second, folk dances; third, solo interpretive;
and fourth, a set of four group dances. The general program is as
follows: 1—juba, Carolinas, Strawfoot, Sweet as Sugah, by Jane
Polachek, Phyllis Roberts, and HeJenjMcTaggart. 2—Tarentella, by
