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

arranged to date are as follows:  Next Tuesday we will have the

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

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

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

the same as  they were in the presidential campaign.  The retiring members

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

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

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

WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, A COLLEGE OF EDUCATION, BELLINGHAM,
WASHINGTON  Carroll School  Chess Wizard;  Ping Pong Due  Chess, Champion T
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
registration to  report to t h Dean of Women's  office as soon as possible.
