LEVITY —By Harlan Jones Because of the absence of Literary
Societies on our beautiful campus, I must greet you with, "Old sol sucks
forth from the social ooze of circumstances again, those efflorescent
bubbles of educated indigents—" to cut myself literally in half, we
are back at school after bur vacation. -W.S.N.S.- And then after
sixty-hours of deliberation a jury which had eighteen assorted radicals
at its disposal, convicted six of them for plotting to overthrow the
government under the. new syndicalists laws of California. That ought to
be a warning for our twenty-one little reds. Comrade duck! -W.S.N.S.-
Some of the school kids in Palo Alto are getting a break. They get to get
out of school to go to the movies. The string attached is that they have
to report back to their rooms as to their educational efficacy of what
they saw. Seems to me they ought to suppress such things as Mickey Mouse
matinees on Saturdays, but we reckon we'll never catch up to Modern
Trends in Education. W.SN.S. The graduating class of '35 have sighed
away for the last time their personal liberty for several stiff backed
hours every spring day. Our professors in turn begin to hunt privately
for angle-worms of knowledge advertised in the catalogue, to dole out
like robins, to the tax payers' children, us. Gaping with astonishment,
the freshmen are easy marks, but by the set of certain people's jaws when
they finished student teaching it ain't no picnic in all cases.
-W.S.N.S.- Soon Wilson Waylett or one of his liberalists confreres will
herald the war scare in Europe as the last struggle of dying capitalism,
the death rattle of a decayed economic system. There are two rattles,
Waylett. One is the present European kind; the other comes in pink
celluloid. Which is yours? W.S.N.S. Guess we wont have any more rain
until Easier morning. W.S.N.S. When I went stumbling (not reeling) into
the science offices last Tuesday P. M. (to be brief.) I gleaned, in' a
general way, the following: Arcturus is in ascendency (it's a star), the
violet green'swallows are back, the polywogs in the acguariums have
hatched, classes with glasses to eye are out looking at birds, others are
searching green ponds for reptiles for acquariums, also (and this isn't
the fashion column) in a scientific sense white shoes have again
appeared. To the scientist this means spring but maybe you. never took
science. Control Board Discuss Plans Of Play Day Annual Spring Event

Women's league and the Men's club meetings. On Tuesday, April 16, the
chorus of the Women's Music club will sing, and Friday 19 is student
elections The third week we will have Theodore (Graham, lecturer, on
Tuesday and Ralph Hokanson, pianist, on Friday. A former student, Preston

things, the plans for Campus day, election procedure, a Women's league
fund of $30, and the formal installation of officers. All the members of'
the student body will be transported to Normalstad, Lake Whatcom,
immediately following the assembly at eight o'clock A. M. Campus day. Mon
Orloff, general chairman for the day's activities, reported after the
Board of Control meeting last Wednesday that suggestions made by Board
members led to adoption of the plan. Additional new features of Campus
day may include an open air dance on the tennis court in the evening and
a fifteen-cent lunch. Busses Will Be Hired Busses or trucks will be
hired by the school to carry students to the lakeside property. A work
program organized by George Dack, school gardener, will keep every
student busy until noon, when a lunch will be served from the cabin, a
scant fifty feet from the lake. After the luncheon the tired workers will
be returned to the school to be entertained in a general assembly which
is scheduled to begin at one o'clock. The rest of the afternoon will be
given over to games and sports. Lunch Plans Tentative The Board of
Control has not yet sanctioned the idea of the fifteen-cent luncheon, but
will discuss the project further in its next meeting. According to the
plan suggested in the meeting, the Activities fund would, provide ten
cents for every fifteen-cent luncheon ticket purchased. All-school splash
hour has been changed from Tuesday evening to Thursday evening at the
same hour in accordance with the wishes of many students as expressed in
the meeting of. the Board of Control. A report on election procedure was
read to the Board by Joe Hager. Interpretative Dances, Oriental And

the election of two three-quarter representatives to the Board of Control
only a little over a week away, politics is in the air again. The
nominating convention will meet April 10, petitions being posted that
day. The election will take place eight days later. While rumors are
many, only one person has been definitely established as a candidate. He
is Cliff Johnson, a blonde person from South Bend, Wash., who favors the
present expansion of student recreational activities. Various
politicians, when questioned, seem very reserved on the subject of the
coming election but admit that the factions will probably be divided much
the same as they were in the presidential campaign. The retiring members
of the Board are Louis Shaffer and Maxine Id-dins. o Stoddard Is

This Is Spring! Spring Is Here Board of Control Has Life Whatever your
reaction was to the school election last quarter, you will have to concede
the point that the present administration has been far reaching in its
activities. The topic of more than usual importance to us is the work
begun on Nornralstad. Work progressed quite rapidly last fall, with the
property being cleared and improved by student employees. But even with
these improvements the site was of little student value. It was so hard to
reach the property without cars that only a small majority of students
visited the place. Even when they did arrive at Normalstad they had
little more than two alternatives for amusement. They might either swim in
the spring and summer, or have an indoor party during the fall and winter
months. Transportaton, the weak spot in the set-up for many years, was
given the biggest boost four months ago when the idea of securing a truck
or bus was suggested. The new board of control has been considering this
idea seriously for the past month, and should be prepared before long to
report on the results. / However, the board decided that even with this
problem settled, the place would be made more attractive if a few more
activities were available. Boating offered the best possibility, and a
committee is now* planning for this recreation. It will be worthwhile if
the administration continues working toward the possibilities of
increasing the values of Normalstad. T* **• *r *Tr . Another
important matter that is being discussed by the board is the by-laws to
the constitution. These were made inadequate when the new constitution was
adopted last year, but no action was taken to have them revised until
this winter. Student elections have been subject to criticism for the past
few years, but the new by-laws have the possibility of guaranteeing
proper procedures. Still another valuable asset for the student
association will be the symposium group. This will of course depend
entirely upon whether students show enough interest to justify the idea.
Not since 1931 has an opportunity been offered those interested in public
speaking. The formation of a debate team has been rapidly losing favor in
colleges, while the symposium group is gaining ground. This type of
speaking came into much favor last quarter when a group of University of
Washington students spoke in assembly. The Board thought so highly of the
group that plans were formulated immediately to sponsor such an activity.
•*• v •»• *fr The plan for regulation of
requisitions appears to be the wisest plan-to conserve funds and keep
departments within their budgets that has been suggested for some time
Problems will perhaps come up which will take shrewd judgment on the part
of Board members. .If these can be solved satisfactorily the school has
something of much value as all departments may be regulated so strictly
that no deficits should be found at the end of any quarter. v * * *
Since the above items are only a few of the things accomplished or started
by the present Board of Control we realize that they have taken their
positions and responsibilities seriously. They have been working mainly
toward the furthering of intra-school spirit and activities. They deservtf
the support of the school in the activities which they are backing. By
Elmer Lade "For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone. The
flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come and
the voice of the turtle is heard in our land." * * * The state of a
young man's emotions during the tremulous months of spring has long
occasioned much speculation among the poets. Some would have him writing
sonnets to his lady while others, headed by the boisterous Kipling, would
have him fretting with homesickness for foreign ports. The desire to
travel is probably a natural result of sonnet writing. It is well known
that under certain circumstances young men are apt to utter statements so
far removed from their true convictions that extended journeys appear
not only pleasurable, but necessary. * * * Somewhere below the equator
lies Tahiti, beauty spot of the Pacific. There, so the travel book tells
me, the climate is perfect, the natives handsome, and food so low in
price that visiting white men can 'decay comfortably at a cost not
exceeding one dollar a week. Think it over! * * * It is practically an
unwritten law that all white men decay in the tropics. In fact, so many
novels have been written on the subject that no conscientious American or
Englishman would think of returning to his native land in good health
and of sound mind. * * * I know a college instructor who was for many
years distressed by the futility of trying to fire the souls of his
pupils with a love of knowledge: Finally he decided to regard himself as
being first of all a professional entertainer and, having thus justified
his position, became content. Now this is a rattling good idea, and well
worth developing. Most any classroom would be immeasure-ably brightened
if the instructor were to interrupt the regular routine long enough to
spring the latest radio gag, play the guitar and yodel, er even do a
trapeze act. Well, spring has sprung! Oh yes it has, all stinging winds
and ice-covered puddles to the contrary. And we are springing, too. Right
out of bed to eight o'clock classes. Right home to burn the midnight oil
over unsolvable problems and unreadable books. But thoughts of the
vacation behind us and that one in the dim future console and sustain.
Suits Are Popular New Nips in Spring Togs Favorite Notes Women are
saluting a "suit sprang" and are watching with wide-eyed interest the
array of' new nips and tucks which characterize the current outfits.
First of these new notes is the nipped-in belted waist and well-fitted
seamless shoulders with wide puckered collars, which stand high. Another
characteristic worth noting is the multitude of col-lors in these spring
suits. Plain dark or . bright jackets with skirts in tones of blue and
gold, brown and tan, green and rust, rose and beige, or black and white
plaids are popular. Tweeds, severely tailored and smartly finished, worn
with bright blouses are increasingly popular. Seen In a Day Francis The
First By Dorothy Goff Along with the coming of spring, robins, and new
clothes, comes the third day of the quarter and the pitiful struggles of
the faculty to decipher and pronounce the names of students in their
classes. Gius is taken for "Juice" to mentin one of the worst, Goff
becomes "Guff," and Donalda Grant is called Mr. When Dr. TJpshall
pronounced Roberta Thygeson's name correctly the first time she
practically fainted. / With so many new white shoes flitting up and down
the corridors the men will have to be more careful where they step. Big
feet that trample little white shoes are liable to get kicked in the
shins. . . Ber-nice Borgen looks spring-like in yellow organdy

WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL. A COLLEGE OF EDUCATION, BELLINGHAM,
WASHINGTON Many Prospects Respond To Spring Football Call Twenty-Five
Players Report To Coach Lappenbusch For Football; Fundamentals Drilled
Several New Men Answer Call For Spring Football; Show Possibilities
Develops Passing Attack Six Lettermen Will Not Return For Football Season
Twenty-five men reported for -, spring football when Coach Charles P.
Lappenbusch issued a call for gridiron prospects, April 1. The practice
will continue for another week. Teaching the new men how to block and
especially developing a passing attack has taken most of Lappenbusch's
time. He's also developing a punter to take the place of Captain Art
Bagley, who will graduate in June. Tony Zambas, part time punter of last
year's squad, will not be out because of track turnouts. Several
Lettermen Missing Lettermen who will not be back are Odell, Davidson,
Wheeler, Cof-field, Bagley, and Tomco. Several new men are out to fill
their places, with more expected next fall. Several prospects are working
this quarter but will report for the fall turnout. "There will be no
scrimmaging until late next week as several men have old injuries which
stiff scrimmages might hurt again," Lappenbusch ordered. Tarte,
fullback, has a weak shoulder and is working out carefully. Walt Miller,
halfback, is out with illness. Several new men are turning out and are
showing up well, according to Lappenbusch. Jim Frender, who earned his
freshman numerals at the University of Washington last season, is out for
end. Elmo Tool-ley, also a freshman letterman, is out for center. A
fullback possibility is Jim Davis who has played three years for Albany
college. Willard McKenzie entered this quarter and reported for line
duty. A Lynden man, Dick Kauffman, is expected out. Bud Vandergriend,
basketball player, is trying for a guard position. A tentative line-up of
the first string players includes Toolley at center; Johnson, TJllin, and
Vandergriend at guard; Miller and Bill Frender, tackles; and Alpaugh, Jim
Frender and Kvinsland, ends. Back-field players are McKenzie and Gagnon
at quarterback; Guglomo, Franklin, and Boggess at halfback; and Tarte at
fullback. Assembly Schedule For Spring Quarter Is Given (Continued from
Page One) Campus day and that Friday night will be given to a piano
recital, students of Edith R. Strange. Hoppe Reads Play Tuesday, May 14,
Professor Vernon McKenzie, journalist, will address the students. Friday,
Victor H. Hoppe will read the play, "Valley Forge" Gemma Paglieri,
soprano, will sing in assembly Tuesday, May 21, and that Friday will
again be Women's league and Men's club meetings. Quarter Closes
Memorial Day assembly will be held May 28; Friday is open. Then we have
the Ladies' Trio from Vancouver, B. C, on June 4, with that Friday
also^open. The quarter will close with graduation functions the last
week. District Tryouts Held at Baker Aspirants To Olympic Games In
Several Slalom Races Last Week-end Claimed by many to be the best ski
grounds in the Northwest, Heather Meadows in the Mt. Baker Forest
Reserve, was the scene on March 30 and 31, of the first of the Olympic
try-outs. Events of the two-day tourney included slalom races, exhibition
jumps, the welcome extended to the King county visitors by Belling-hams
ski queen, Miss Helen Turner, and the coronation of Miss Jeanette Sykes,
Seattle's fair ruler of winter sports. Numerous students from Normal
attended the meet, several in the capacity of employes of the lodge.
Further try-outs will be held at o Softball Tournament Needs More Teams
Plans for an intramural baseball tournament are now being formulated with
two teams already entered. A meeting held this week failed to bring forth
many prospective managers with teams. Sam Carver, intramural sports
director, is anxious to get the tournament started and for several other
teams to enter. To be a real competitive affair at least four or five
teams should take part. Last year five teams participated in this
softball tourney with the Bartons hall nine carrying off the honors.
Frequent postponements because of rain dampened the interest. With the
good weather now at hand a fast? tournament should result. Any person
who desires to form a team should do so immediately and report to a
manager's meeting to be held Tuesday afternoon at four o'clock in the PE
office. A schedule will be drawn up as soon as a sufficient number of
teams are entered. Three Lettermen Form Base For Cinder Material
Holder, Zambas, Johnson Form Nucleas of Track Squad; Kenoyer Out With
the first cinder contest but a month off, Coach Carver is facing the task
of building a combination that can at least give the Loggers of CPS a
reminder of last year's medicine, when the Norsemen fought to a one point
victory. Carver has Don Holder, former state high jump champion, who took
second in the high hurdles and broad jump at the tri-normal. Don also
clips the hundred in a trifle under ten flat. He will be the main stay in
the tally department of the Viking squad. Zambas Back Tony Zambas will
be on deck also when points are needed, as he runs the high hurdles in
low time. He should improve his distance on the discus enough to give the
Vikings a first in that event. For the tri-normal, however, Ellensburg
has two dark horses who should give the Tri-Normal record a tumble. Arne
Johnsen will be running the low barriers to give Walters of Cheney for
his money after last year's drubbing at the Tri-Normal. Walters is only a
sopnomore, but has run the lows in 24.6. New Material Promising I n the
unknown department are Donald Kenoyer, last year's inter-scholastic half
mile champion, who should give the state record a terrific scare. Bill
Taylor will run the mile and should go places if he gets in shape.
Willard McKenzie throws the javelin and should get points in the high
jump. Fred Guglomo throws the discuss and is a sprinter. Dan Gagnon has
nice coordination and should develop into a quarter miler, possibly a
pole vaulter. Clyde Radder throws the javelin, and should develop into a
good man in this event. Harvey Bilew runs the two miles and should make
a strong contender. Tinval Brinkman is back in school doing eaching and
may take to the track to regain previous fame won on the Viking path. The
balance of the new men are unknown as yet and it is hoped that some will
develop into point winners. With the WAA By Joan Hoppe California, here
we come! This J Doocks—au-ull abo-urd that's coming abo-urd. Leaving
at one o'clock post meridian, from the main building— hard boiled

in some spring sport. Get acquainted with our new PE building, it has all
the comforts of home and is equipped with all the latest attachments. is
the battle cry of freedom raised by the three WAA delegates to the
Western Sectional Conference of the Athletic Federation of American
College Women—inhale — Agnes Martin, Florence Lund, and Mary
Thompson. Just as the golden sun came peeping over Sehome and each little
morning-glory (and a pansy or two) raised its sleepy little head, heavy
with glistening dewdrops, toward the east—exhale—these three,
armed with bathing suits and tennis rackets boarded the train for the
land of sunshine and cocoanuts. And they call this the land of the free.

and Golf Situation Dark Very Few Lettermen Return For Either Team; New
Golfers Look Promising Wailings over the dim prospects for strong tennis
and golf teams this^spring have grown louder with the beginning of a new
quarter which has brought very little added strength to the squads. Many
promising candidates who were expected back have failed to return. A
survey of the golf prospects shows Bob Lindsley as the only veteran in
school. However Paul Vike, number four man on last year's squad, is
expected to enroll, and Coach Sam Carver sees Vike, Lindsley, and Pat
Jacobsen as the men to fight it out for the number one position. The
other men expected out are Jerry Jacobsen, Randy Oberlate, and George
Nolte, who alternated on the team two years ago. Despite the lack of
experienced men on the squad Sam Carver is hopeful of working up a fairly
strong team. Tennis Outlook Dark The tennis outlook is even darker,
according to Coach Carver. Roger Mullen and Jack Joly are the only
veterans b.ack. Bill Hussey, another letterman, was expected, but failed
to return. Other prospects are Ladd Shangle, Mon Orloff, and Ralph
Shenen-berger. Shangle's work has been impressive and he is expected to
bolster the team's chances considerably. Carver also hopes for a good
showing from Orloff. Golf and tennis matches are being arranged with the
U of W frosh, CPS, and Pacific Lutheran college aggregations. Racketeers
Signing Ladder for Tennis Coach Sam Carver has issued the call for
tennis enthusiasts to sign the Intramural tennis bulletin. When all who
are interested have signed, a tennis ladder will be drawn and matches
will follow. After all the games have been played the men who rest in the
first five rungs of the ladder will champion the Normal in all
inter-school meets. The ten men who have already signed the list are:
Roger Mullen, Jack Joly, Oscar Starlund, Don Richardson, Mon Orloff,
Gordon Richardson, Stuart Fresk, Chuck Wilson, Fred Rosenwjater, and Ladd
Shangle. Coach Carver expects this list to increase greatly within the
next few days. The nets have all been repaired and the courts are in
excellent condition for tennis. Matches will be played as long as the
weather remains clear. The men who finish up in the first five places
will have the honor of playing on the varsity tennis team. o Chaliapin
To Appear In Musical Program Chaliapin the Great, basso, will appear in
a program April 8 at 8:30 p. m. in Seattle. The concert will be held in
the Civic auditorium. Chaliapin was born in Karzan, Russia. Singing has
been his passion since childhood. He was engaged by the Russian Imperial
Opera at the age of 20 He is often spoken of as "a one-man theater—
he is everything". Miss Mildred Tremain attended the Ski tournament at

o Play Arntzen Must Be Finished Today Say Managers Ping Pong Tourney
Next Chess Champion To Play Arntzen In Challenge Meeting "Ladies and
gentlemen, the winners and champions . . . !" Cries of this sort may ring
through the halls at any time now. Finals in the recreational tournaments
held in the Edens hall cafeteria are now being played. In fact the chess
champion has already been found. Leonard Carroll has gained that title by
defeating Pat Allan. Bob Stuart and Don Richardson should tangle any day
how for the checkers honbrs. "The more numerous participants in the
bridge tourney are on the third round with two rounds yet to be played.
But interest is not going to be allowed to lag. The ping pong tour- -
nament is to start next week. Players will be divided into two divisions,
an A and a B. All players who consider themselves fairly expert are asked
to sign up for the A games, leaving the B group for those who have played
only since the installation of the tables at Edens hall. Each division
will be separated into men's singles, women's singles, and mixed doubles.
The signing is expected to be completed .this, week with playing
beginning Monday. The challenge issued at the beginning of the program
by Edward Arntzen, social science instructor, to the winner of the chess
tournament, will probably be accepted by Carroll and a play held next
week. Play on the ping pong tables has been made easier by the new dull
green tops which do not reflect the light as the shiny black ones did.
Enrollment Is Good Church List, Student Directory Being Prepared
"Registration records for the spring quarter show a good attendance,'
reports Miss Norma Bouck, secretary to Dean James E Bever. Although the
total enrollment will not be known until next week, since students are
still enrolling, only a slight variation in attendance between spring and
winter quarters is expected Church preference lists and the student
directory for spring quarter are now being compiled in the Dean of
Women's office. La order that the student directory be accurate Miss
Mildred Tremain urges all students who have changed their addresses since
