CLOVER BLOCK ---------- Normal Messenger - 1908 April - Page [1] ---------- THE NORMAL MESSENGER APRIL, 1908 LITERARY DEPARTMENT. PIONEER LIFE IN THE LATE SIXTIES. (A True Story by Chelnesha M. Olsen.) The old stockade on the Sevier has long since gone to ruin. It is now a little less than a half a century since that fateful summer, when the Cheyenne lurked in every shadow and in the sage-brush surrounding the town, ready to spring upon the ambitious settler who ventured from the stockade to find some food for the half-starved settlers, or ventured out to his badly suffering crops long ago left to the mercy of the savages who swooped down upon the little town of Richland. And the settlers! Only a few are still living who remember when the men wore rough beards, hunting shirts, weather-beaten and often stained with blood; when the women often went barefooted and wore homespun gowns, for the nearest store was almost one hundred miles distant and could not be reached without great risk of life. Many were those who, driven to desperation, ventured forth, and whose tortured bodies were found later by the scouts. The children, too, seemed to comprehend the danger, and stood the sufferings of the settlement as staunchly as did the grown people, often showing marvelous bravery. There were not many horses in the town, especially those fit for Indian warfare. Several of the fastest were owned by Jacob Schmidt, who was considered one of the bravest and most useful men in the town. He devoted his time to carrying dispatches from Richland to the surrounding settlements, and rode through the Indian infested hills and valleys, lying close to his horse's back to escape the flying bullets of the Indians. He would grow white with hatred at the mention of the "red devils," as he termed them. Two years before, while Schmidt was absent from home, his wife and three small chil- ---------- Normal Messenger - 1908 April - Page 2 ---------- 2 The Normal Messenger dren had been murdered by the savages, and his oldest daughter, then a girl of thirteen years, had been taken into captivity. He later recaptured his daughter, at the same time killing ten of the Indians. Mary inherited her father's bravery; it was she who cared for the horses while her father was engaged in carrying the dispatches. One morning Schmidt learned from a renegade Indian that a neighboring settlement was. to be attacked by the Cheyennes that night, and leaping upon his already saddled steed he hastened with the warning. The day passed, it began to grow late; the sun began to lower, the shadows were lengthening, the sun dropped behind the trees, and still Schmidt had not returned. "What had happened?" the settlers asked one another, for Schmidt was long over due! "Had the Indians killed him?" "He is coming," shouted one of the men. All eyes turned to the direction in which he pointed. Dimly outlined in the distance they beheld a man on horseback coming toward them very swiftly. If it were Schmidt, why was he coming so fast? The rider was within a few yards and the horse was heaving as if it had run a great distance. The man was not Schmidt, but another who had been out scouting and had discovered that it was upon this settlement that the attack was to be made. Schmidt was still out and a dispatch had to be sent for help to Centreville, eighteen miles away, to summon the company of soldiers. Not a man in the town would venture, for the Indians were everywhere and it would be certain-death, they thought. Something had to be done, and that quickly. "Look!" cried a voice. Everyone was speechless as they gazed after a woman's form on a black horse, fast receding in the moonlight. " I t ' s Mary," they whispered, "on black Bess. She's taking the dispatch!" About two hours after the girl's disappearance Schmidt returned. Upon hearing of his-daughter's departure he became frantic and; ---------- Normal Messenger - 1908 April - Page 3 ---------- The Normal Messenger 3 was prevented from remounting his horse and following her by the men, who had all they could do to hold him. He had not slept for three nights and four days, having been carrying messages constantly, but his Mary needed his help. The news of the danger spread over the little town like magic. Men, women and children rushed to the fort. A shot told them that the red men had been sighted. The fields were still dotted with running figures when a volley, and still another, came. As those inside the stockade watched the stream of settlers dash inside the gate they grew cold at the sound which haunted them in their dreams at night—the warwhoop. The deep, hideous gutteral notes of the scalp hallaoing rose and fell with a terrible fierceness. Nearer and nearer came the savages, yelling like demons. Before the rushing savages were a few settlers who had not yet reached the gate. All in, the gate closed with a bang, and instantaneously a shower of bullets beat against it like hail. Inside the stockade there was no confusion, even the little children kept quiet and out of the way. Every man was at his loophole, and every man, too, was aware that every shot he fired must count, for the supply of powder was getting low. The women and older children busied themselves in making bullets and loading the guns for the men at the loopholes. Over all the moon and stars looked down in solemn dignity. Fiercer grew the fight, and lower grew the powder supply. Although this little band of pioneers were doing deadly work there were always plenty of redskins to take the place of the ones who dropped. But the supply of powder was fast giving out. Suddenly the impish yelling ceased. Those on watch could see in the moonlight the skulking black forms moving away in the distance. It was too much to hope that the Indians had given up. "Wonder what their little game is now?" ---------- Normal Messenger - 1908 April - Page 4 ---------- 4 The Normal Messenger said Schmidt. "You may depend upon it, they are up to some new deviltry.'' It was a period of intense stillness and fearful suspense; the settlers hardly dared to breathe freely. Nor did the strict vigilance lax; every man at his loophole strained his eyes, peering out into the dim moonlight to detect some sneaking savage. Where was Mary? Was one of those skulking redskins wearing her scalp ? or had she succeeded in reaching the soldiers at Centreville? If help would only arrive in time! was the muttered prayer. They waited an hour—maybe two. It seemed ages to the waiting townspeople. A white-faced woman ran out of her cabin, and in an awe-stricken whisper: "They're boring under the stockade." Which investigation proved to be true, for a stealthy, crunching sound fell upon their listening ears. So this was their scheme. Two silent, determined men took their places near where they thought the hole would be made. The noise kept on at intervals. Men. women and children took places at the walls to listen for that grinding sound. Several other-places were discovered, at each place two men knelt with axes raised to kill the first Indian to come from under the wall. Through the loopholes the watchers could see several black wriggling forms making their way through the grass to the wall. They were becoming bolder again and the silhouettes of several forms carrying something toward the stockade could be seen. They did not have to wait long for soon they smelt smoke. It was small pieces of wood the Indians had carried and they were starting fires all around the walls. Now they were carrying poles. What was to be done ? No powder to shoot with and the Indians about to burn up the fort, and climb over the walls by means of poles. In the cabin where the digging and boring was first heard, the ground was beginning to loosen. A small light was made, showing the guards what the Indians were doing. Finally ---------- Normal Messenger - 1908 April - Page 5 ---------- The Normal Messenger 5 the ground caved in. The earth was quickly taken out of the hole from the outside and two feathers poked through. Higher and higher they lifted; then a cruel face. The men made quick use of their weapons; then settled to watch once more. After some time had elapsed the dead body of the Indian disappeared and a hideous yell rent the air. Onee again the deep gutteral sound of the warwhoop seemed to come from every side. It was almost daylight. Several feathered heads were seen slowly rising over the stockade wall. The settlers waited breathlessly. They were helpless, and knew now that they would be massacred if help did not come immediately. Suddenly the fearful yelling stopped. A volley rang out some distance away. Soon another volley; this time very much nearer. A flash of hope brightened the solemn faces of the besieged pioneers. Could it really be help coming or was it another band of the Cheyennes ? The Indians seemd to be dissatisfied. They hesitated a moment, and then they could be seen running hither and thither in a confused way. There was a rush, not at the fort this time, but to the heavy woods, for there, riding across the fields, came a band of soldiers. A great cheer came from the townsmen in the stockade as they watched their rescuers rush triumphantly toward the gate, which was swung open to meet them, and the first to enter was Mary. At the sight of her three rousing cheers were given. She had insisted upon returning with the soldiers, knowing that her father would be uneasy until he had her with him again. SENIOR TROUBLES. The close of each school year finds many impatient Seniors daily visiting the various departments in quest of grades, credits, recommendations, assistance on this and other numerous requirements that so concern members of that class. Already have those elderly people versed in pedagogy begun to ply their magic ---------- Normal Messenger - 1908 April - Page 6 ---------- 6 The Normal Messenger quest to the end of securing that which fits a Normal student for "abnormal" life. At almost any period of the day one may see some members of the faculty, closely and secretly interviewed by a judicious Senior. It may be that the conference is with the teacher in mathematics, when such a question as '' Do you think I display marked ability in mathematics?" is asked. The question comes similarly to the depart ment of education when one asked, "Do yoj think I will make a psychological reasoner?" These and many other worries make the life of the average Senior as busy as a bee in June. Here is the rehearsing of the events that are dated for the near future, as we overheard them betwen two Seniors: "Oh, just think what we have before us; there are our finals, and our back work will all have to be made up soon. I'm conditioned in gym., also in agriculture because my grafts didn 't grow; then we have to have the outlines for our theses in by the fifteenth of April, and the girls think they won't give us longer than the tenth of May to have our graduating dresses finished. And besides this we'll have to get our pictures taken before school closes; then there's the Junior banquet; do hope I'll be able to eat. But just think of the applications we 11 have to send out. Oh! I'll be glad when it's over." ALUMNI. And Undergraduates. (By Clara Tarte.) Misses Nora Corbett and Helen Goldwaith are teaching at Buckley, Wash. Miss Jessie Jamison is now Mrs. G.

Nine years ago, when this school first came-into existence, Dr. Mathes was chosen the administrative head. Dr. Mathes was then occupying the chair of history in the Idaho Normal School at Lewiston. The choice has proven to be a wise one. Under his farseeing and conscientious management the school has prospered greatly. This Normal is the only one in the state that has had but one president. This fact speaks well of Dr. Mathes' ability as an organizer and executive. Dr. Mathes has had many tempting offers, by other institutions of learning, if he would sever his connection with the school. But he is a firm believer in the great future of this institution, and we find him today guiding and directing its manageemnt toward that end. Let us look at just a few of the great changes during the last eight years. In 1900 the campus consisted of frog ponds, rocks and stumps? ---------- Normal Messenger - 1908 April - Page 9 ---------- The Normal Messenger 9 today we have a beautiful plot of ground, and with the plans which are laid for the future there will be no more beautiful campus anywhere. There was no gymnasium, no dormitory, no greenhouse, no society or Y. W. C. A. halls. With the completion of the Science Annex we have the most beautiful building in the state. The faculty has increased from six to twenty-six members. Here a comment should be made upon the kind of faculty which he has chosen. We find all of the faculty strong, broad and intellectual, graduates of various eastern colleges and universities. In bringing about these changes in selecting the members of the faculty, Dr. Mathes has been the ever-present and active factor. It is by these that he is judged by the outside world, but we students, who meet him everyday, who sit in his classes, feel his influence in another way, more subtle and far-reaching. His kindly nature, his refinement and courteous manner has its effect upon the scholars. We leave the school and pass out into the world feeling that we have learned lessons from him never to be forgotten—lessons that we could not have gotten from a less noble character, a less deep nature. And so we find Dr. Mathes respected by the world without, loved and respected by the student body. It is with much pleasure that we publish the original story, found in Literary Department. The management of the paper would like to see it made a permanent feature. Let others follow Miss Olsen's example. One thing which we lack in this school is school spirit. It is not because there is lack of spirit in the schools. Class spirit runs high at times. But it is the prevailing opinion that class spirit is carried to an extreme, and to the extinction of school spirit. A school is a unit and there should be unity between the students We find class contests, class functions better patronized than those where the school as a whole is concerned. Not that we do not believe ---------- Normal Messenger - 1908 April - Page 10 ---------- 10 The Normal Messenger in class spirit, a great deal of good may be gotten from contests and friendly rivalry, but we should not forget that school matters are far more important than class matters. Let us salute with one accord the "Blue and White," our school colors. What do you think about a school pin? ATHLETICS. (By Noah Davenport.)

The most amusing and really pitiful game of the season we played some time ago with an "alleged" team from the burg of Everson. Guy Dunning, captain. It will be remembered that Mr. Dunning made a record here in times ---------- Normal Messenger - 1908 April - Page 11 ---------- The Normal Messenger 11 past. One of our professors was heard to apply the name of "Greek gods" to the athletes of the school, and it has occurred to us that this term was suggested by the athlete in a bathing suit who starred for Everson. To the "god" characteristic he added all the charm of a, Romeo and scarce could make a free throw (of which his referee gave him many) without casting languishing eyes at the Juliets in the gallery. We are justly proud of this Normal product the way he sustains his old name. Everson has since forgotten to give us our re-tur game or to return the nine good dollars we gave them. We notice that Mr. Dunning has headed a baseball team of rural teachers to combat city teachers. Probably it is due to this fact that he has overlooked us. Basket ball season has closed at the Normal and with the close of the season activities in the line of athletics cease. We have been unfortunate in getting outside teams to play here, there being no outside team in the gymnasium this year. We notice that Ellensburg Normal is claiming the state championship of all Normals and High School teams on the ground that they won from us and from the champion High School team of Seattle. We would like to call attention to the fact that Ellensburg has not played a single important game outside their own gym. this year. They arranged two dates with us, calling the games off in each case after we had done our advertising. It is all very well for a team to stay in their own so-called gymnasium and boast about beating all comers, but the team that deserves credit for their victories is the one that will move away from home and risk a game. We question this assertion of yours, Mr. McKinstry. and invite you to take a chance away from home. Our season was to close with a game with Snohomish, on March 28, but without notifying us they failed to appear. We made up a team from the school and the local Y. M. C. A., which put up as good a game as Snohomish would have furnished us. We thank the Y. M. C. A. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1908 April - Page 12 ---------- 12 The Normal Messenger boys for their kindness. If there is such a thing as honor in athletic sports we would like to suggest that one or two or three high schools on the coast might profit by practising it when they deal with other schools. The habit of breaking contracts is not a good one to form in the high school. The association has taken up the matter of building an asphalt tennis court in the near future. The Normal has put out a magnificent baseball team. With Mr. Leavy to secure the games and Mr. Bowman to lead the team to victory there will be things doing in baseball. LOCALS. (By Louise Walker and Helen Linden.) THINGS OF INTEREST. The faculty had an enjoyable evening on Wednesday, March 26. This was one of a series of parties of the year. The faculty was divided into three divisions for entertainment, each division to entertain twice during the year. One of these divisions presented a play, "The Shakespearean Conference,'' to the rest of the faculty, after which the east and audience adjourned to the faculty room, where a genuine college spread followed. The following is an extract from the W. W. H. S. Pedestal: First Girl—"Oh, kids, there are 300 girls at Bellingham and only five boys." Second Girl—"Well, five will do me." We would like to inform our Walla Walla friends that we have twenty-five boys, and that quality, not quantity, counts. Mrs. Nettleton entertained very delightfully the Seniors, Saturday evening, March 28. The Shakespearean Conference, which was given Thursday night, was repeated. The class and cast were then escorted to the faculty room, where dainty refreshments were served. Songs and stories concluded the evening's entertainment. ---------- Normal Messenger - 1908 April - Page 13 ---------- The Normal Messenger 13 Miss Maud Drake was called home Monday by the serious illness of her father.

Western's current science building.Haggard Hall, is in violation of at least 10 state and federal safety codes, according to a reportcommissioned by the university. The report, released in January by Earl Walls Associates of California,found that Haggard had outlived its usefulness as a science facility. According to the report, safetyproblems posed by Haggard include inadequate ventilation in the chemistry laboratories,inadequate space to store hazardous chemicals, a lack of separate plumbing systems for sewage andtoxic wastes and the use of asbestos to insulate the building's pipes and attic. The electrical, heating,air conditioning and ventilation systems all are being pushed beyond their operating capacity. In sciencelaboratories, fume hoods are used to dispose of hazardous chemical fumes. But according to the report,Haggard's fume hoods are operating well below current environmental safety requirements. In addition, the hoods release fumes near fresh air intakes causing "dangerous cross-contamination." Western cancontinue using Haggard as a science building because it is protected by a "grandfather clause" thatexempts buildings constructed prior to the adoption of a code, from that code. But Haggard's safetyproblems have prompted the university to include $46 million in its capital budget request to thelegislature for new science facilities, Don Cole, vice president for Business and Financial Affairs, saidGov. Booth Gardner's capital budget recommendations to the Legislature Dec. 20 will be the firstindication whether the request will be funded. "If there is no funding in the foreseeable future, we will have to take a hard look at the curriculum and see what we can do," Cole said. Funds for the new buildingcould be appropriated in one sum, or in phases. Cole said. If funds are appropriated, the facilities couldtake six years to construct. Meanwhile, Cole and Paul Ford, vice president for Academic Affairs, saidthey plan to appoint a special committee, possibly this week, to review the use of hazardouschemicals and other harmful agents on campus. "(The committee) will develop a policy on how weacquire, use, store and dispose of hazardous and toxic chemicals," Ford said. "We are actively involvedin examin- S^HHiiliSiSHIliiil^B Vandals 'trash' vehicles rized" this weekend when one or more vandalsinflicted almost $5,000 worth of damage on 20 vehicles. Campus Police Lt. Lee Brown said thatsometime between 2:30 and 4:20 a.m. Sunday the vehicles were vandalized and suffered "every kindof damage imaginable." Because 20P, which is behind the water tower south of Kappa Ridgeway, isisolated and surrounded by trees, it's more prone to acts of vandalism, Brown said. One broken mirroror a dented door is the most likely incident of vehicle vandalism on campus. He said he can rememberincidents when three, four or five cars were vandalized, or when considerable damage had been doneto one vehicle. But Brown said he has never seen an incident where 20 vehicles were "totally trashed." Radio antennas were bent, sunroofs were broken, mirrors were smashed or torn off, license plates were bent and torn off, doors were kicked and dented, convert i ble tops were ripped and interiors weredamaged. One vehicle for example, had its left rear window smashed, its left front door sprung out ofalignment, its left side body panel dented, its left side mirror and left side windshield wiper broken, itsglove box cover ripped off the dashboard, its turn signal and windshield wiperarms bent on the steeringcolumn and its dimmer light switch broken off the column. A convert ible top was torn off one carcausing $800 worth of damage and $65 worth of property was stolen from one vehicle, he said. Brown said he had no details of the investigation into the incident, which is being handled by an investigation team. Fine time Parking official suggests Â£iiatiÂ£U3Lbe ineiDeased :||iiy:(l^Cjiiiigi MIKE GWNKVietnamese student DatPhanpeiforms a classical guitar number ^tinteniia^iw By David Cuillier Parkingcitations on Western's campus could increase as much as $ 12 by next fall if a suggestion by a parkingauthority is accepted by university and state officials. Parking administrator Dorothy Telles suggested to the Parking Advisory Committee at its meeting last Friday that citations be increased to $15 forthose who park without a proper permit. Telles said she suggested the increase to $15 from $3 not tobring more money to the parking office, but to deter non-permit drivers from using permit-paid lots."People are paying no attention to the $3 fine," she said. "What happens is when they take thechance to park without a permit, someone who has one will be pushed out of the parking lot." If thecommittee were to draft a proposal by January, the increase could be in effect by fall quarter of nextyear, Telles said. The proposal would be presented to Western's administration, the Board ofTrustees, go through a public hearing and then be sent to code administrators in Olympia, Telles said. Telles told the committee that violations of parking without a permit were 26,105 last year. Shecompared this number to the 24,415 violators caught in 1983-84. Non-permit violations account for 54percent of all citations, while out-of-area violations account for 16 percent of all parking citations,Telles said. Non-permit holders are those who have no permits at all and park on campus. Out-of-areaviolaters are those who park outside of their designated permit lot. A survey on fines recently wascompleted by Telles, who talked with parking officials at other state universities. "When I told (otherparking officials) how many citations we gave out. and they went 'wow.' I ^SeeSiÂ»AR^Gv'p.;6 xÂ£k)^:SProposed AS agenda avoids controversy A preliminary legislative agenda that avoids controversy andfocuses on higher education issues will go before the Associated Students Board of Directorstomorrow for discussion. Unlike last year's agenda, which included positions on apartheid, abortionand gay rights, the six items approved so far by the AS Legislative and Community Affairs Committeeresemble Western's budget request to. the Legislature. The numberrone priority established by theLCAC for the board's consideration is equitable funding between the state's regional universities saidCommittee Chairman Dan Wood, AS vice president for external affairs. Western currently receives$513 less per full-time-equivalent (FTE) student from the state than Central and Eastern Washingtonuniversities, Wood said. Another item adopted by the LCAC supports Western's request to theLegislature to raise its enrollment lid by 150 FTE in each year of the 1987-89 biennium. The LCAC alsosupports W_estern's request to the Legislature for $ 1.8 million to partially fund a proposed remodel ofthe Viking Union. Wood said the LCAC supports a recommendation by the state's Higher Education Coordinating Board that asks the Legislature for more than $ 100 million in salary increases for thestate's higher education faculty during the next biennium. The increases would bring salary levels inWashington up to levels at similar, "peer" institutions in other states. The LCAC request, however, asksthat salaries of student teaching assistants and research assistants also be raised to the level of theirout-of-state peers. Other agenda items ask for an increase in reciprocity agreements with other statesand nations and request help in financ ing the construction and operation of day-care facilities toincrease educational access for students with children. The LCAC may approve additional items ---------- Western Front - 1986 November 18 - Page 2 ---------- 2 WESTERN FRONT TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1986 Clause exempts Haggard Hall from rules ing the issues." New science facilities are the number-two priority in Western's capital budget request, following the second phase of the "Arts/Tech" project. The $3.2 million requested for phase two would be used tobuild classrooms and laboratories for the new technology building and to construct a new campus artgallery. Haggard was designed in the 1950s and completed in 1960 when Western had only 3,200students. Now, more than 9,000 students attend Western. University Safety Officer Jose Harrison saidsafety codes are much more strict now than they were when Haggard was built. "There is a greatconcern with the present state (of Haggard)," Harrison said. "That's why we're asking for a newbuilding." Harrison said the chemical odors that can be smelled in the halls of Haggard demonstrate theextent of the ventilation problem. And Haggard doesn't have enough space to properly store chemicals,Harrison said. "It's frightening," he said. "Chemicals are stacked eight feet high. "Chemicals arestored alphabetically, not by their reactivity. If there were an earthquake or someone bumped into them, I don't know what would happen." A lack of separate plumbing for sewage arid toxic wastes createsproblems for Western, Harrison said. Ignitable chemicals can't be disposed of by washing them downthe drain, he said. They are solidified in plastic milk containers filled with sawdust and taken to beburned at the Thermal Reduction Company, Inc. in Bellingham. The use of asbestos piping andinsulation is widespread across campus, Harrison said. Instead of replacing the asbestos with asafer insulating material, the pipes are encapsulated or painted with magnesium oxide as a temporaryremedy. The encapsulation lasts about three years, he said. "It is safe to say that Haggard Hall isborderline safe," he said. But Western has taken some measures to guard against the potential safetyhazards, he added. In May of 1985, a "Right to Know" law was passed to ensure faculty, staff andstudents have knowledge of the chemicals with which they may be working, he said. Harrison said hedeveloped material data safety sheets to be checked out with each chemical. The safety sheets provideinformation about the inherent hazards of each chemical and what to do for first aid or in case of a spill."Students need to know what the hell is going on," he said. In case of a chemical spill, the universityhas five spill kits on campus, Harrison said. Haggard Hall has one, university police has two, HuxleyCollege has one and the physical plant has one. Harrison said each kit has a different cleaning agent tomop up after most of the chemicals used on campus. If money is appropriated for the new facilities, they would be constructed adjacent to the Environmental Studies Center and would house the biology,chemistry, science education and other science programs. Budget appropriations "for a new sciencebuilding would enable the university to use Haggard for other purposes. According to the Walls report,space shortages exist in Wilson Library, Bond Hall, the Humanities Building and High Street Hall.Although Haggard can't safely house science facilities, it could be remodeled for other uses.CROSSCOUNTRY SKI EQUIPMENT Sales Rental â€¢ Large Selection New Used Bikes â€¢ A Full Service Repair Facility â€¢ Skateboards â€¢ Snowboards FAIRHAVEN BICYCLE 1103 11th Street onBellingham's South Side Western Front Editor Winter Quarter '87 NEEDED: Western Front Editor,Winter Quarter 1987.

Magumi Kobayashi, president of the club, welcomedmore than 200 guests who filled the Viking Union Lounge. Members of the International Students' Club gather to promote understanding between people from different cultures and to get to know each other better, Kobayashi said. International songs, dances and karate demonstrations entertained guestswhile traditional foods were prepared. People sampled cuisine from various countries including Korea,China, Japan, Vietnam, Germany, Italy and Libya, Kobayashi said. Appreciative laughter filled the VULounge when Kobayashi said, "Trying to get 10 different countries to cooperate at the same time isdifficult." When the international buffet was ready to be served, she asked guests to "move quickly andsmoothly to the table of your choice and don't fight." Fighting did break out on stage when DuaneSammons, owner and chief instructor of the Bellingham Academy of Self Defense, and 20 karatestudents, demonstrated a variety of martial arts techniques. Sammons has earned a fourth degree black belt in Gojuryu and holds a black belt in laido and Kenda, all forms of Japanese karate. Gojuryu is thestyle of karate taught at MIKEGWYNN Guests at International Night sample delicacies Friday in theViking Union. the academy, Sammons said. Students demonstrated different "Katas" or practicetechniques for fighting an imaginary opponent. Some opponents were not imaginary, laido, techniquesfrom the sword art, demonstrated by Reg Bratz, Ken Field, Doug Lafferty and Russ Lyman, featuredkatas for offense and defense with the Japanese "Katana," a sword with a 27-inch to 30-inch curvedblade. The laido demonstration ended with each participant executing a formal bow to his sword. DaveLarson, black belt, attacked Carla Kelley, brown belt with a dagger. Kelley, with quick turns, kicks andpunches, not only disarmed Larson but downed him. She "carved her initials in the back of his neck"'with his own dagger, Sammons said. Because Kelley's moves were so quick, Sammons asked theopponents to repeat the demonstration in slow motion and described each move as it was made.Sammons dubbed AI Kelley, Carla's 11-year-old brother, their own "Karate Kid." AI Kelley is the rankingbrown belt in his age bracket, Sammons said. Bill Carter, black belt, attacked the "Karate Kid," but AIKelley defeated Carter with well-placed punches and kicks. Kelley downed his attacker by climbingCarter's six-foot, 200-pound frame. The festivities resembled a large family reunion with everyonetalking at once in a dozen different languages. Patient adults waited in line for the bountiful internationalbuffet while youngsters roamed the room. Entertainers from around the world performed while, guestssampled ethnic foods. Performances included folk dances from Iran and China, a Vietnamese martialarts demonstration, piano and guitar solos, and songs sung in English, Japanese, Spanish and Italian.Simeon Nixon, from the island of Fiji, described activities and teaching methods used at the University ofthe South Pacific. The university serves an area three times the size of Europe, but the combinedland mass of all the islands is about the size of Denmark, Nixon said. Unlike American universities,Nixon said, students gather at meeting places on their home islands to hear lectures broadcast by radiofrom Suva, the capitol of Fiji. PEACESAT, an earth-orbiting satellite, relays the broadcasts to the far-flung reaches of the campus, Nixon explained. A hush fell over the room when Tomo Sato played theviolin to accompany Magumi. Kobayashi, club president, who sang a Japanese song titled "The MoonOver the Old Castle." Ya.sunori Hasiiwa, from Japan, played the guitar and sang a medley of songs.Enthusiastic applause greeted Hasiiwa's English rendition of "Twist and Shout." Hasiiwa then sang theCuban Song "Guantanamara" in Spanish. Magumi Kobayashi and Tomo Sato joined Hasiiwa in singing"Ueo Muite Aruko," better known to American audiences as "Suki Yaki" in Japanese, to end thefestivities. Chinese administrators fccM service set tour Western's program I for graduate student ByKim Washburn Three administrators from a China cooperative language and study program touredWestern to get an overview of the China studies department. Arthur Kimmel, director of foreign studiesat Western, was host to the three visitors from Shanghai's Fudan University over the weekend. CaiChuan-lian, director of the overseas students department at Fudan University, Fan Yu Min, administratorof the overseas students department at Fudan and Chen A Bao, Chinese language instructor werehonored at a reception given at Western's Faculty Club Friday night. The China Cooperative Language and Study Program is a branch of the Council on International Educational Exchange, a consortium of institutions around the world striving to accomplish what one college working alone could never do,..According to a brochure from the CIEE, participants in cooperative programs in China represent thelargest number of U.S. students studying in that country. Western, as one of the cooperative centersfor study abroad, has participated in the China program for the past three years. Kimmel, who also is amember of the CIEE board of directors, said this particular type of exchange program has a sense ofpermanence about it. It operates year after year on a solid academic base, he said. Kimmel saidWestern doesn't send many students to China in comparison to the number it sends to other countries. The main obstacle is the fact programs with China are much more expensive, he added. Western hassent a few students to Mongolia in a program that "has been fairly successful," Kimmel said. VIenrySchwarz of Western has developed a program through Ho Hot University in Mongolia. "This is Western'sonly Asian exchange with a track record," Kimmel said. Fudan University features liberal arts andsciences programs. The summer session at Fudan specializes in improving Chinese language skills.The program also emphasizes practical vocabulary and conversation, special lectures and culturalactivities, according to the brochure put out by the ICEE. Students interested in applying for theprogram are required to complete one year of Mandarin Chinese and have one Chinese area studycourse before beginning the program. While in China, students are housed in university dormitories.Although the program is now a summer session, it was originally an academic year course andstudents who elect to do so may stay and work into an academic year, Kimmel said. A memorialservice for Callic Lynn Garcia, 34, a Western student from Sedro-Woolley, is scheduled for 4 p.m.Friday at Campus Christian Ministry. Garcia, and her husband Pat Neble, were found dead shortly after10 p.m. Nov. 11, at the family home in Sedro-Woolley. Mary Kermen, spokeswoman with the SkagitCounty Sheriff's office, said Neble apparently shot Garcia and then shot himself. Garcia was workingtoward a master's degree in education at Western. Neble was a fifth-grade teacher in Stanwood. "Lynnwas a talented teacher and was an excellent model for those preparing for the teachingprofession,"according to a memorial notice from Western's School of Education.

Wilcox examined the "why" of extreme beliefs during his lecture on the"Psychology of Extremism" at Western last Thursday. His conclusions were based on more than 20years of studying political organizations on the far left and far right. Wilcox said he spends half his time as a carpenter and half as a researcher. His research led him, in 1965, to establish the WilcoxCollection on Contemporary Political Movements, one of the largest of its kind, at the University ofKansas. The collection contains about 5,000 books and pamphlets covering about 7,000 extremistgroups. He also publishes "Guide to the American Right,"Guide to the American Left," "Guide to theAmerican Occult"and "The Wilcox Report," a newsletter on the American left and right. Wilcox hasinvestigated these groups from the inside, by attending their meetings and speaking with theirmembers. He has come to know, he said, about 400 members of extremist groups, having dinner withthem, and in some cases forming 20-year friendships with them. "They were all united â€” every one of them â€” in their desire, in their own way, to do the right thing as they saw it," he said. Extremists canbe identified more accurately by the way they behave than by what they believe, he said. "Extremismhas much more to do with a manner of relating, a kind of shrillness, an anger, a tendency to call names,a tendency to be unfair and arbitrary," he said. "I've met people who were Marxists, which one wouldthink of as being very extreme, who were very rational and even-handed; interested in what 1 had to say;were always glad when somebody contradicted them because it helped them think things out." Acharacteristic of a fanatic or extremist is an inability to see another point of view. "Their emotionalinvestment in their beliefs is so strong that it's almost painful for them to consider a counterview," hesaid. Extremist groups tend to have a strong desire to censor or silence their critics. "When they want to silence the opposition, this is a dead giveaway these people are up to no good," he said. "The desireto censor or silence comes from the fear of ideas." To avoid being iured into an extremist group,"Whenever you. find yourself inor-dinantly convinced by a particular argument, it's a good idea toexpose yourself to counter propaganda. "Examine your beliefs." Wilcox said. "Develop an appreciationfor clear, logical thinking." . "Any time someone says 'trust me,' or like the Rev. Moon says. 'You don't need a mind, I'11 do your thinking for you'â€” the minute you hear that, get out. "Don't ever lose yourcapacity for skepticism. It's the most valuable thing you've got." he said.

"In aromantic context when we become infatuated with another person we idealizethem. We tend toemphasize their good points and overlook their faults. We tend to rationalize their behaviors. We tendto interpret things positively." Fanatics, he said, usually are unable to understand their own motives injoining these groups. "People who become blind to their own motives are basically strangers tothemselves," he said. Their motives are often an attempt to satisfy a need not directly related to theideologies of the groups they join. Wilcox made a strong distinction between a "reason to believe" anda "need to believe," saying an extremist is characterized by a "need to believe." "With the need tobelieve, the belief is comforting, it fulfills some important psychological function. The emphasis is upon feelings and anxiety reduction." "Most people, and particularly political ideologues or members of various cults and related movements, believe what they believe simply because it makes them feel good," hesaid. Individual motives for adopting ideologies and joining ideological groups differ, but Wilcox outlined nine basic categories. The first, the need to feel morally superior, Wilcox said was nearly universal."Moral worth is acquired from beliefs and causes," he said. "One can acheive status in the eyes ofoneself and other people by believing and championing good causes, whether it's being kind to animalsor shooting black people, depending upon the culture you're a part of." A second motive, closelyrelated to the first, is low self-esteem. "Very few ideological fanatics are very satisfied with themselves.Inwardly they tend to be perfectionists. It's easier to imagine a perfect world than it is to imagine aperfect self. Their political activism is basically a perfuming operation." Wilcox cited envy andresentment as the primary motive for many leftists and social reformers, and for classical anti-semitism. "The implicit message is that anyone who is more successful than I am must have gotten there by some dishonest or exploitative means," he said. Propaganda addiction is another motive he said was fairlycommon among members of extremist groups. Certain personalities are especially vulnerable to a skillful emotional appeal, he said. "Some people really get caught up in this, it's hard to believe. Their wholebody just seems to respond to what's going on around them." Once, he said, he played a record ofGeorge Lincoln Rockwell, leader of the American Nazi Party, at a meeting of the Socialist Labor Party."He (Rockwell) gave a very stirring speech. His message was terrible but he delivered it about as well as I think anybody could. "One fellow in the room was just transfixed. This guy had been a member ofthe Socialist Labor Party for years, he was a confirmed Marxist, and he was transfixed. He listened."Later on I noticed him taking down the address of the American Nazi Party off the record jacket." Threeyears later, Wilcox said he found the man had moved to another part of the country and become amember of the American Nazi Party. A fourth reason Wilcox gave for joining an extremist group is toovercome feelings of helplessness. This, he said, is "fairly common among some of the more nuttypolitical extremists." Another reason he gave is the need to feel unique or special. Many fanatics, hesaid, are people who are outcasts for some reason. "Unusual belief systems tend to rationalize a feltsense of alienation from others because one is different," he said. "The political cause or the cult accepts them. It assigns special meaning to their several other people in the body shop belonged to the localKlavern, and he felt that he could get along better with his co-workers, and maybe get a raise andpromotion if he became like them. So he joined the Ku Klux Klan, for as trivial a reason as that." Somepeople develop belief systems through an extension of the parent-child conflict, he said, becomingrightists or leftists because their parents were or were not. "Ireally never met a hardcore radical â€”left or right â€” that I ever felt was completely grown up. They tended to be impa- VVhen they want tosilence the opposition, this is a dead giveaway these people are up to no good.9 â€” Laird Wilcoxstrangeness." People also join ideological movements as a diversion from personal problems, he said."Many hardcore fanatics and activists have lives that are full of turmoil," he said. Social pressure isanother reason people join extremist groups. Many people, Wilcox said, acquire their beliefs through a "kind of osmosis" from the people around them. Wilcox cited one young man who became a member of the Ku Klux Klan because "he worked in a body shop and tient, whining, complaining children," he said. A final reason Wilcox gave for joining an extremist group is suffering from paranoid delusions. Thesepeople, he said, are usually paranoid first and political second, and are too suspicious and fearful toaccomplish much. "Having extreme political feelings and opinions is very much a part of the humancondition," he said. "I learned a long time ago not to hate people or denigrate them because they hadunusual political ideas." r One Gf The Nation's LeadingEmployers Is Now Interviewing On Campus.

Smith lia mum Western's Alumni Association will launch its legislative lobbying effortswith "Legislative dinners" in December, Chris Goldsmith, Alumni Office director, said. Alumni willinvite legislators from several key districts to dinner. At the dinner, one couple, consisting of at leastone alumni, will be assigned to each legislator. At the dinner, alumni will tell legislators about Western's primary legislative goals for the upcoming session in January and why those goals should win support. None of this will surprise legislators. Goldsmith said. "They're invited to dinners like this all the time,"he said. "They know what to expect." Dinners are tentatively planned in Olympia, Everett, Bellevue andsomewhere between Mount Vernon and Marysville. Al Froderberg, Western's legislative liaison, andGoldsmith will attend the dinners. "This is just the first step in our efforts to get legislators to realizethey have numerous constituents who care about Western," Froderberg said. The Alumni Office now isarranging a telephone legislative lobbying network in which 400 to 500 alumni are expected toparticipate. Alumni advocates will call legislators in their districts and push the school's position whenissues important to Western arise in the Legislature. The network is expected to be in operation inJanuary.

She compared Western to Washington StateUniversity because of its similar parking program. WSU fines students $15 for the same violation. Finesat Western haven't been increased since 1980, when the fines increased $2, Telles said. Telles told thecommittee the suggested increase probably wouldn't affect parking revenue because she predicted thenumber of citations would decrease. Before 1980, when on-campus parking wasn't so scarce, the finefor not having a permit was $1, Telles said. Similarly, she said, Central Washington University charges$3 because they have "plenty of parking." According to Telles' survey. Eastern Washington Universityfines $9 for the non-permit violation, the University of Washington fines $5 and The Evergreen StateCollege fines $5. Telles said the fine would probably be reduced by one-third or one-half if paid within 24hours of the citation. Committee member Robert Stoops, of the liberal studies department, agreed withTelles. "The goal is enforcement, not making money," Stoops said. Students, however, probably will not support the increase, Telles said. "We've been called every name in the book, and a few that aren't inthe book," she said. Western has had the same parking enforcement of two daytime checkers andtwo part-time night workers for three years, Telles said. Twelve percent of all citations are non-permitviolations occurring in the parking lot behind Carver Gymnasium. Telles said 14 complaints from permit holders led to car towings this year. "You don't have to have three citations to be towed," Telles said.Committee member Fred Ondeck, of the student employment center, said some people may not seethe increase as solving the problem. "We as a committee want to show people what parking is doingabout the problems. The main problem is the scarcity of parking," he said. The committee discussed the problem of scarce parking and how it could be solved. Telles told the committee a plot of land on thecorner of 21 st Street and College Parkway will open 400 to 500 parking spots for students. The projectcost the parking department $21,000 and parking will be free of charge. The lot, now being prepared, willbe ready when the land is bulldozed and settled, she said. Telles could not give a time estimate of when it will be completed. Possibilities of building a parking lot east of the Ridgeway residences and buildinga parking garage also were discussed.

Wood said a conscious effort was made by committee members to includeonly higher education issues in the agenda. The disadvantage of taking controversial stands on non-educational issues, he said, is that limited lobbying resources are "spread thin" on potentially divisiveissues. Committee member DeAnn Pullar, AS Community Liaison,said last year's legislative agendaincluded several controversial issues, which should not have been included and which she, as amember of the LCAC last year, opposed. By attempting to be more representative of all students, thisyear's agenda could get broader support from students and legislators than an agenda that tookpositions on controversial issues, she said. Society wants smoke-free day The tenth annual GreatAmerican Smokeout, sponsored by the American Cancer Society, is scheduled for Thursday. The goalof this year's smokeout is to get at least one in every five smokers to give up cigarettes for 24 hours. The day is intended to be good-natured and upbeat,"according to the Cancer Society. Western's StudentHealth Center will participate in the event, said Jennifer Roy, director of the center. A bulletin board in the Health Center will carry pamphlets and facts about smoking. Weather permitting, the center'swellness . cart will be in Red Square distributing information and offering encouragement, Roysaid. The Associated Students Drug Information Office has no plans to participate in this year'sSmokeout Day. Gay Daugherty, coordinator of the Drug Information Center, said the office usually gets a packet of information from the American Cancer Society. "We haven't received anything from them."Daugherty said. "I didn't even know what day the Smokeout was." In the 10 years since the first nationalsmokeout, a decline in tobacco consumption has taken place, and fewer than 30 percent of Americanadults now smoke. In 1976, more than 40 percent of Americans smoked, according to a NationalHealth Interview Survey. More people are quitting smoking. From 1978 to 1985, the number of formersmokers rose to more than 37 million from 31.5 million. Eighteen percent of college women and 10percent of college men still smoke daily, a recent study for the National Institute on Drug Abuseindicated. CHRIS BAI inviN The American Cancer Society offers these tips for Smokeout Day: *Throwout all cigarettes and clean out all ashtrays in your home or car. *Exercise and change habitsassociated with smoking. *Keep your hands and mind busy to avoid the temptation of smoking. *Reward yourself for not smoking with oral substitutes such as gum. *Thinking about negative imagesconnected with smoking can help alleviate urges to smoke.

DANTYl.ER Pesticides are extracted from water samples. Iguarantee this apple does not have one hole in it. . . You know why that is? It was treated withpesticides.' ildlife is an important resource in the state of Washington â€” a resource being destroyed by agricultural chemicals, said the director of Western's Institute of Wildlife Toxicology. Pesticides used todeter insects also are killing animals and altering their behavior. Ron Kendall, director of the institute,said at a presentation in the Wilson Library Thursday. The toxins disturb their reproductive conduct andchange the quality of the environment, he said. Larry Brewer, an assistant professor at Western's Huxley College who collaborates with Kendall on wildlife research, warned that toxins found in pesticides also can be harmful to humans. "If it is affecting wildlife, the potential is there that it will affect human life."Brewer said in a telephone interview. Brewer assists Kendall in conducting tests to determine the effectsof toxic chemicals on birds and other mammals in hopes of protecting wildlife from harmful pesticides.Only three universities in the United States conduct such tests â€” Michigan State University, CornellUniversity and Western. In the institute's laboratory at Huxley, bobwhite quail are tested to determinethe consequences of pesticides on birds. The emphasis of the testing, however, has been on examiningwildlife in its natural environment, Kendall said. He measures the mortality of birds in specific areas anddetermines if the cause of death is chemically related, Birds, however, hide when they die, which makes the bodies hard to find, he said.

Brewersaid, "a major source of wildlife loss of productivity is the effect of agricultural chemicals." SkagitValley particularly is guilty of chemically damaging the wild life, Kendall said. The production of peasand other vegetable crops in the area has entailed the aerial application of pesticides. "In Skagit Valleya very unique situation exists . . . they've created a wonderful water fowl breeding area and at thesame time they are hitting it continuously with a multitude of chemicals," Kendall said at thepresentation. Kendall examines whether chemical residue in Skagit Valley is present in the vegetationand insects the birds feed on and what effects it has on the birds. Richard Mayer, a Huxley professor,aids Kendall in examining the effects of chemical toxins on birds. He determines pesticide levels in water and grass. Mayer also examines the gastrointestinal tract, and organ tissues of dead-birds for tracesof toxic chemicals, he said while sitting in his office in the Environmental Studies Building. Mayer saidgolf courses particularly are to blame for spreading toxic chemicals. Kendall agrees. "You see thesepretty courses . . . with nice green turfs . . .the reason they look so pretty is because they have to usecompounds (chemical toxins) to keep them that way; lots of herbicides and insecticides," Kendall said.Kendall is concerned because many birds use the golf course as a refuge.

"Look at it,"he challenged the onlookers." it's shiny, it's waxed. You know why that it is?" he asked, "it was treatedwith pesticides." "It is almost impossible now to produce an apple without some form of ' damagewithout (using) some kind of a pesticide." Kendall said. Kendall said he would rather buy a damaged fruit than.one treated with pesticides. "1 would buy the wormy apple, I swear I would," Kendall said with asmile. Pesticides, however, arc not always harmful, Kendall explained. In the spring of 1984 a chemicalwas sprayed in Florida. It killed insects, bringing them to the surface where birds ate them. ecausethe food was so readily available, the bird population increased by 300 percent. Kendall said. "It wasnever easier for them to get food," he said with a laugh. The tests Kendall performs are costly,| he said.Western, however, gives the institute very little funding, so the majority of the money Kendall receivesfor studies comes from grants. The Institute of Wildlife Toxicology recently received 5100,000 from theEnvironmental Protection Agency to study the effects of chemical toxins on songbirds, Kendall said. Inaddition. Shell Oil, Chevron Chemical, SMC Corp. .and other chemical industry corporations havedonated money for testing.

Western had no trouble putting its priorities in order. Thousands ofstudents take laboratory classes in Haggard Hall each year, many of them to fulfill General UniversityRequirements. By any modern standards, the building is unsafe and potentially dangerous. An adequateventilation system and ample storage space for hazardous chemicals are non-existent. But there's noshortage of asbestos. It's not certain exactly when university officials realized how serious Haggard'senvironmental problems were, although it's hard to believe a consultant's report was needed to informthem ventilation is so poor the halls reek- This August, finally acknowledging in its Facilities and CapitalPlan that Haggard "posed serious health and safety concerns," Western established the construction ofsafer science facilities as its number-two priority in its capital budget request to the Legislature.BecauscHaggard poses "serious concerns," why not establish safe science facilities as the number-onepriority? But the technology programs, which will train workers for the Boeing Company, John FlukeManufacturing, Inc. and other industrial firms, are Western's number-one priority. And Western's effort tofinish the new.technology building as soon as possible is concrete proof of that priority. Once thebuilding is constructed, then technology will be a permanent fixture at Western and the new buildingwill justify the further expansion of programs. Administration officials may say the arts and sciences arethe core of a university education, but one glance at this school's capital budget request shows exactlywhat kind of future is being built for Western. Reagan's speech digs him deeper The mendacity ofPresident Reagan's TV speech last Thursday is clear in several factual contradictions reported by topgovernment officials and the president himself concerning the Iranian arms deals. According to The NewYork Times, Secretary of State George Schuitz publicly assured foreign ministers we were blocking a\\arms sales to Iran, while the White House secretly was arranging for such arms shipments to Teheran.Reagan, in his speech, stated the 18-month long "secret, diplomatic initiative" between the White Houseand Iran attempted to safely return all the hostages. This "initiative," by Reagan's own admission,authorized the shipment of arms to Iran. The arms deal was accompanied by a message that Iran mustoppose all forms of terrorism, and suggested they could influence the pro-Iranian group to release thehostages held in Lebanon. It takes only a little more comprehension than Reagan seems to possess tosee that this is tradingarms to Iran in exchange for our hostages. Something he came on TV to deny.Reagan stated the"initiative"also was to bring an end to the Iran-Iraq war. Later in the speech, thepresident said these "modest deliveries . . . could rot affect the outcome of the 6-year war." Still later,Reagan said his secret overtures were to help "bring about a ceasefire . . . to prevent a widening of thewar." By shipping arms to Iran?! "We did notâ€”repeatâ€”did not trade weapons or anything else forhostages," Reagan said. "As President, I have always operated on the belief that, given the facts, theAmerican people will make the right decision." If only the American people had been given the facts in'84. !mmm^a^^^ Brian Malvey, editor-in chief* Niels Nokkentved, managing editor Juli Bergstrom, newseditor â€¢ Mary Barouh, David Cuillier, Sandra Treece, assistant news editors â€¢Mark Connolly, opinioneditor â€¢ Kristi Moen, sports editor â€¢ Brian Bean, assistant sports editor â€¢ Judy Averill, ACCENTeditor Julie McGalliard, Lori Robinson, assistant ACCENT editors Karin Stanton, assistant editor â€¢Monica White, design editor Jackie Soler, production manager â€¢ Dan Tyler, photo editor Mike Gwynn,photographer Mike Carroll, editorial cartoonist Laura Towey Chris Baldwin, graphic artists Lyle Harris,adviser The Front is the official newspaper of Western Washington University.

On this cold Monday morning I lookedforward, more than usual, to my hour-between-classes breakâ€”complete with hot coffee and anoversized chocolate chip cookie. As usual, I chose a table in the Viking Union coffee shop. But as Isettled into a cozy spot with thoughts of reading some intriguing term paper research, another piece of literature caught my eye. It was cleverly titled, "How well does your method of birth control work?"Well, to tell you the truth, it was the furthest thing from my mind! What was on my mind was the two 10-page term papers and the exam due in exactly one week. So, as I sat enjoying a hot cup of coffee, Iwas subjected to think about sex. Not just sex, mind you. but about my odds of getting pregnant. Tothose of vou at the Sex 1 nfo Renee Gionet MHI^WBB people in the coffee shop, of all places, are going to benefit from your "menu" of birth control devices? I don't mean to infer that this information is notuseful, but your method of- distribution could be a bit more appropriateâ€” say in the evening hoursnear the dorm area. People sitting near me were laughing and joking (perhaps from embarassment)about your flier. Tell me, who would feel comfortable sitting at a table with a member of the oppositesex. who may only be an acquain-tence from class, having to talk across a flier about birth controlCenter 1 ask: Do you really think methods? Guest Commentary Sure, it's a necessary piece ofinformation (for those who engage in the act), but couldn't you be a bit more discrete? Perhapsmention in a more sophisticated way that your office provides this information to anyone in need ofit. The couple across the room seemed to enjoy the information you so thoughtfully provided. Sheabruptly stood up and said. "I thought you told me that way was safe?" Bet he wished he'd brought hersomewhere else for coffee and a doughnut. I would find information such as this a bit easier to digestwith my coffee if it were in a different form. Perhaps something more entertaining or intellectuallystimulating, such as a question format with the answers printed upside down. By the way, a friend ofmine walked by. noticed your "menu." and with wide eyes said, "Is this something of yours'?" No. itcame with the table. 'Humanism' is religion too Secular philosophies and their supposed connectionwith the public school room have been a lively topic in the media lately. While I do not agree with theextremism of some anti-humanist groups. I do believe there are some definite instances where theseparation of church and state is breached by the teaching of secular religion. 777^ New WebsterDictionary defines naturalism as: "the doctrine that there is no interference of any super-natural powerin the universe."God is taken out of the picture. Secular humanism is a natural outgrowth from this view, making humankind the sole arbitrator of all truth, morality and value. Man becomes a god untohimself. In the Torcaso case of 1961, the Supreme Court held that secular humanism was as much areligion as Christianity or Judaism. Of course, if this is true, it has no right to be taught evensubliminally in the classroom. But is it taught? I feel the best example I can use is from my ownpersonal experience. In my high school humanities class I was handed a textbook entitled. The GreatReligions by Which Men Live. by Floyd H. Ross. In the chapter on Christianity, Ross explained "it isalmost impossible to get a true historical picture of the man who unintentionally became the founder of the Christian religion." He even says "scholars recognize that we can never know Jesus as he really ---------- Western Front - 1986 November 18 - Page 11 ---------- TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 1$, 1986 WESTERN FRONT 11 Students deserve their due swims WesternFront: This is not a letter expressing any political opinion, nor is it a rebuttal to anything printed in yourperiodical. It is merely a letter from a couple of college students who wish to take advantage ofour right of access to a free press in order that we may be heard, for we have a grievance. We are beingrobbed of exercise time at the Carver Gymnasium pool. We appreciate the thorough workout the bodyreceives through swimming and make it a point to swim every day during a designated lap swim time atthe Western pool. We chose the 8 a.m. time slot because it fit in well with our respective schedules.Ideally, we would like to get in a good half-hour's swim, from 8 to 8:30 a.m., before we get out in time tomake it to our 9 a.m. classes. And, according to the pool schedule, this should be no problem. However, the Western swim club/team and their instructor/coach apparently have not seen the schedule, or,more likely, have a casual disregard for it. Every morning we enter the pool area expecting to be ableto "jump right in," as it were, and begin our planned half-hour workout. But every morning we are forcedto wait for about five minutes or moreâ€”dripping wet, and coldâ€”while the swim club finishes up itshour-long routine with instructions on a more effective flip-turn, the crawl stroke or a "ten-lap warm-down," among other things. We did not mind at first, and if it only happened occasionally we would becontent to let it slide. But as a daily occurrence, we cannot help but feel that it is an inconsiderateintrusion into our exercise time, as well as a disregard for our schedules. Indeed, based on 30-weekschool year and at a rate of five minutes per day, by the end of the year we will have had about 12 and-a-half hours of exercise denied us. That's the equivalent of 25 half-hour sessions we will have neverbenefitted from. This all may sound a bit trivial to some people, but is a matter of principle with us, andthat makes it all the more important. It is also on a matter of principle that we chose to write to TheFront rather than go directly to the swim club instructor. The fact is, we shouldn't have to take thelatter avenue. We must add here that we mean no disrespect to the swim club, the instructor oranyone involved therein. They all seem to be good people, and we admire their dedication to andenjoyment of the sport of swimming. We gladly respect and do not interfere with their designatedpool time, and we are certain that upon reading this they will be reasonable enough to give us thesame consideration. Tony Kurtz, Bruce Sarjent Front editorials too anti-Reagan Western Front: Why is it that whenever President Reagan makes a move, you cry "four*? If Reagan ignores the hostagesituation, he's attacked. If Reagan moves militarily to prevent hostage taking, he's attacked. If Reaganopens diplomatic channels or attempts . to ease the situation with trade, he's attacked. While I do notagree with all of the President's policies, I at least respect the complexity of international politics. Yourself-righteous Reagan-bashing convinces no one. It is obvious what the editorials will say, even beforeone opens The Front: whatever Reagan did was wrong. It takes no intelligence to always criticize. Showsome of Andy Perdue's courage and approach the situations with fewer presuppositions and moreintelligent thought. Try proposing some solutions for once! Like Andy, you may get attacked, but atleast you'll show some of the quieter elements on this campus that some writers actually think beforethey write. Gary L. Thomas Consumers free to buy foreign goods Western Front: Many of us are aware of the recent moral conviction placed on consumers to "buy American." It seems we are traitors if we buy any foreign product instead of an American-made equivalent. I will agree that buying American-made products saves jobs and helps our economy. But, an equally important issue is competition. If aforeign producer can put out a quality product at a lower price than an American counterpart, should we be criticized for buying the better deal. Take, for example, cars: foreign cars have been shown tobe of better quality overall than most American-made cars. And, on top of that, they cost consumerssignificantly less than most of the U.S.-made cars. The "good 'ol American way" tells me to go for thebetter deal, not pay more for a lower quality product to support American manufacturers. Don't get mewrong, I'm not anti-American. There was a time when American-made cars were of good quality and thecosts were competitive. Times have changed, and 1 feel that as a consumer I have a right to buy theproducts that make the most sense. If I am expected to support American-made products, somechanges better be made. Until the U.S.-made cars, motorcycles, stereo equipment, etc. can becompetitively priced with equal or better quality than the foreigners, I and many others will continue tobuy the best deal offered, even if that means going against American morality and purchasing a foreign-made product. Bra J Barrie Hazardous waste is trickling down Western Front: Reagan's trickle downeffect is finally showing its colors. First with the nation's nuclear waste dump being trickled upon us,and now, locally, with Columbia Cement's bid to use hazardous . waste to fuel their kilns. The federalgovernment defines a hazardous waste as "one that may cause or significantly contribute to seriousillness or death, or that possess substantial threat to human health or the environment when improperlymanaged." Chemical Processors, Inc., a Seattle-based company that needs to get rid of these wasteproducts, and Columbia Cement, who needs cheap fuel to help avoid bankruptcy, describe hazardous wastes as used oils and solvents. New solvents and oils might be safe to burn if properly managed butthese are used products, contaminated by metals, paints, epoxys and a host of things that evenChemical Processors might not know about. Too little information, testing and safeguards makehazardous waste burning .a very dubious proposition. Moreover, if it is illegal to burn hazardous wastesin highly populated areas (500.000 or more), is Bellingham any safer? Mayor Douglas is a member ofthe N.W. Air Pollution Authority. Ask him.

Returning there one week after a 41-12shelling by the University of Puget Sound, the Vikings closed out the 1986 season Saturday, dropping a 49-0 contest to Pacific Lutheran University. The loss put Western's record at 2-7, 1-5 in theNorthern Division of the Columbia Football League. PLU, ranked fifth in the National Association ofIntercollegiate Athletics Division II, is champion of the CFL North at 6-0, 8-1 overall. After opening theseason with two straight wins, Western ended the year with seven straight losses. In the last threegames, the Vikings have been outscored, 131-26. Western never was in the game, fumbling the ball six times, losing three, and throwing three interceptions. The Vikings only managed eight first downs and 104 total yards, just 30 on the ground. After Western's first two possessions ended prematurely with afumble and an interception, PLU's Dwayne Smith blocked a Peter LaBarge punt that Keith Krassinpounced on in the end zone for the Lutes' first touchdown. Krassin recovered another Western fumbleon the Viking 19. After two sacks and a penalty, Jeff Yarnell threw a 31-yard touchdown pass to SteveWelch. Welch now has caught at least one touchdown pass in 14 straight games. Pat Dorsey ran for127 yards in just six carries and scored two touchdowns, one from 45 yards out. Erik Krebs also scored twice while carrying the ball nine times for 42 yards. Smith recovered yet another Western fumble atthe Viking 14. Two plays later, Yarnell hit Welch from seven yards out to push PLU to a 21-0 halftimelead. The second half was no different as Dorsey and Krebs scored twice each for the 49-0 final.Western's only offensive spark was provided by Scott Lohr, who picked up 87 yards in 29 carries. Thefreshman tailback finished the year as Western's leading rusher, with 458 yards in 128 carries. Anotherfreshman, quarterback John Barger, started in place of an injured Kirk Kris-kovich and completed sixof 17 passes for 74 yards and three interceptions.

The crews raced the 1000 meter Frostbite Regatta on Greenlake Saturday and the three-mile Head of the Lake Regatta Sunday. The crews racedthrough the Montlake Cut from Lake Union to Lake Washington. Saturday, the men's junior varsity eight-man boat finished first out of a field of seven while the heavyweight placed fourth and the varsity boatfinished fifth. The lightweight boat started strong but finished fourth because of equipment problems. Thefollowing day. Western entered three eight-man boats. Rather than racing head-to-head, the boats beganthe race in intervals and competed against the other boats time. The results of Western's three boatswere unavailable at press time, but coach of the mens crew team Filip Leanderson said his squad didreasonably well. Leanderson was surprised at the number of boats that competed in the regatta. "Itwas a spectacle to see," Leanderson said. "There were boats from all over the Northwest." Although theVikings compete to win each race, Leanderson maintains that the main purpose of the fall regattas is togain experience. "We're just getting ready for this spring," Leanderson said. "We just want to developindividual technique and give everybody a chance to compete. It's more of a fun race." Saturday. Western will raise money for the rowing program in the annual crew row-a-thon. The crews will row 30 miles onLake Samish. The women's junior varsity and lightweight eight person boats finished 2nd and 4th.respectively, while the novice boat also finished 4th. Sailors blow through UW Despite heavy rains,Vikes squeak past other contenders WMiiiiiiB^BBiilllii Despite rainy weather, Western's sailing teamtook first, second, third, and sixth place in various divisions in the "Fathead the Cat" regatta at LakeWhatcom over the weekend. Four Western teams competed against eleven other teams in theregatta. "The reason Western sent four teams was to give some new people some experience," teammember Erik Hauge said. In sailing competition, each school sends two teams, an "A" team and a"B"team. The A team and B team each have two members, a skipper and a crew member. Forexample, in a regatta if nine teams compete, 36 races sail. Each team would race twice. After the Aand B teams sail, points are added to give a final score. The team with thelowest total points wins theregatta. Western's team number three, skippered by Paul Dorst and ere wed by Kim Nash, took firstplace after sailing to a 62 point tie with Western's team number one. Dorst and Nash were awarded firstplace in the regatta because they ruij'tiore first-place finishes than team number one. Third place went to Western's team number two with 68 points. Following Western were the University of Washington infourth place, Oregon State University's team number one in fifth place, Western's team number four insixth place, Oregon State University's team number two in seventh place. University of Puget Sound ineighth place. University of Oregon in ninth place, Seattle University in tenth place and Royal RoadsMilitary College of Victoria, B.C. in eleventh place. Hauge said, even though the weather was not ideal,the wind kept the boats sailing at a good pace. Sixteen races were completed on Saturday."Saturday, the winds were different than usual," Hauge said. Even so, "everyone on the team had good moments and competition was good." Sunday, the winds were not as good and heavy rain hampered sailing conditions, Hauge said.

"It was importantbecause everyone got to play," player Rob Cuomo said. Now the Vikes will concentrate on preparingfor this season which begins next spring, Cuomo said.

There's nothing grandparents like better than a call from agrandchild in college. But if you do accidentally happen to interrupt Lawrence, vou ought to havesomething worth telling them For example, you could mention that you called using AT T Long DistanceService because you can depend on AT T's high quality service and exceptional value. And then you can tell them that AT T gives you immediate credit if you dial a wrong number. And that you can count onAT T for clear long distance connections.

'c 1986 AT T c AMERICAN GRC E TINGS (:ORP ---------- Western Front - 1986 November 18 - Page 15 ---------- TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1986 WESTERN FRONT 15 Hoopstcrs hope to improve from last year Brad Jackson looked at the half-eaten sandwich on his desk and peeled off a piece of crust. "Last year,"Western's men's basketball coach said as he popped the piece of crust into his mouth, "we needed toimprove the size of our front line. We've . done that. We felt we were a good team at the end of last year. We had a good recruiting year, and overall, we're much quicker than, we were last year." If better sizeand quickness translate into more wins, the Vikings may improve on last season's 11-15 record, ayear that was about as exciting as Jackson's sandwich. The second-year coach sees the team asmore comfortable with his coaching philosophy than last year. "It takes a while for players to adjust to a new situation," Jackson said. "By the end of the year, we started to play more like I wanted." Whichmeans a play-oriented, motion â€¢ offense, much like Louisville or UCLA. "The characteristic of thisteam is excellent quickness," Jackson said. "We want to maximize it. We'll use the fast break whenit's there, but we aren't UNLV. It will be a more controlled break." UNLV. the University of Nevada-LasVegas, is known for its fast-break offense. "On defense, we'll go primarily FRONT FILE PHOTO JuniorTim Dickerson maneuvers past a St. Martin player last season. with a switching, sagging man-to- manand press much of the time." Perhaps the key to Jackson's hopes is the addition of James Johnson, atransfer forward from Little Rock, Ark. "Purely from a physical standpoint, he's so gifted, he's easily ourbest player." Jackson said of the 6-foot-6 leaper. "James is a worker. He has tremendous desire toimprove. And he can be as good as he wants to be." Jackson sees few flaws in Johnson's game. "Hedoesn't have much experience at this level of competition," Jackson said. "He has to learn, somefundamentals, some subtleties of the game. He needs to learn that he doesn't have to do it all himself.Senior center Shane Nickel returns from a 1985-86 season that saw him lead the team in rebounding(8.1 a game), while shooting 59 percent from the floor. In the season finale against Lewis and Clark, hescored 22 points and grabbed 15 rebounds. "Shane is a hard-worker, a quality individual," Jackson saidof the 6-foot-7, 215-pound, three-year starter. "He's as close to an enforcer we have. Shane's real intense and a rugged rebounder." ' Jhe remaining starting spot on the front line is a question mark. SteveFeenstra, a 6-foot-6 forward who starred at Lynden High School, suffered a knee injury and probablywill miss the entire year. Dale Harris, at 6- foot-3, 195 pounds, will start beside Johnson and Nickel.He's a tough, hard-nosed kid who can put the ball in the hole," Jackson said of Harris. "He has powerand can hit the boards." The backcourt looks solid with Marcus Buren and Tim Dickerson holding downthe guard spots. Buren, at 5-foot-9, shows great quickness and an ability to penetrate inside andscore, or dish off to the open man. Dickerson became a starter midway through last year andimpressed Jackson with his maturity. An intriguing addition to the backcourt will be Manny Kim-mie, a6-foot-3 swingman who, Jackson said, "is as good an athlete as we've had here at Western.

Located atthe Bellingham International Airport He plays bigger than he actually is, so he'll play some smallforward for us as well. He has the potential to be one of the best guards I've ever coached. "We'll have as good a back-court as there is in the district, game in and game out." One reserve who will see much playing time is Scott Fincher, a 6-foot-1, sharpshooting guard who lost nearly 20 pounds during the off-season. "Scott has really made a commitment to this team," Jackson said. "He's gained somequickness since last season and has always been a great outside shooter." Also coming off thebench will be Garth Stroyan, a 6-foot-6 backup to Nickel. "Garth is much stronger and more confidentthis year." Jackson said. Scott Evans, a 6-foot-4 forward, "will make a real contribution. He canreally shoot the ball." Jackson said. Todd Smith, a 6-foot-2 freshman, also has proven he can shootplacing Nth on the all-time scoring list in the Greater Spokane League. Also slated to see action areMike Eisner and Mark Smith. One highlight on the Viking schedule is the inclusion of trips to Stanford(yes. that Stanford) and the University of Southern California (yes. that University of Southern California).Jackson sees both games as positive to Western basketball. "The goal of any coach is to improve thequality of the program. You do that by recruiting better athletes. A schedule like ours is going to beattractive to a lot of potential players. Ft creates interest. "It also can be an educational experience forour players through travel, and it tests ourselves against the best players around." The major changein the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics this year is the three-point line. Every shotmade from a line 19 feet, nine inches away from the basket will count three points. It will probably openup the middle, which could help us." Jackson said. "We're not super-physical underneath. Certainly allour guards can hit the shot." Western's opening contest is Thursday in Vancouver. B.C., against theUniversity of British Columbia. The Vikings' home opener is at 7:30 p.m., Saturday against TrinityWestern University. DOES T H I S MAN HAVE BETTE DAVIS EYES? YES!

XXIX—NO. 43 WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Friday, May 23, 1930 Tri-Normal Meet Tomorrow -*• Normalite TEACHER'S TASK BERTRAND RUSSELL CYNICAL YOUTH TRUTH —ARDEN BENTHIEN We are sorry to tell you that the illness of Bob Walters, the regular writer of this column,' makes it impossible for him to write it this week. We wish him a speedy recovery. For now, we have had the honor to be selected in his place. Consider yourselves introduced. W. S. N. S. Now that graduation time is approaching, we cannot help considering the serious nature of the profession of teaching. It is hard for us to conceive the fact that each of these boys and girls with whom we Tiave associated for the past nine months will soon have entirely in his hands the gigantic responsibility of guiding the education of from twenty to thirty young lives, For it is a gigantic responsibility. It would be gigantic if there were but a single life involved. When you consider, as we did, the potentialities that may lie in the mind of a child, and realize the extreme delicacy with which they must necessarily be directd if the child is to be a true man, or a true woman, we think that you will be struck, as we were, with the enormity of t h e task which a teacher undertakes. W. S. N. S. We have been reading- an article in a recent magazine on "Why is Modern Youth Cynical?" by Ber-trand Russell. His main discussion is grouped under five heads: Religion, Country, Progress, Beauty, and Truth. Do you notice that these five things are probably the ones most worth living for? Any one discrediting the value of any one of them is certainly worthy of the brand of cynic. Because we think they are worth while, we are going to pass on in brief Bertrand Russell's reasons for the loss of the prestige of these standards in the minds of modern youth. W. S. N. S. Religion has lost its importance l o r two reasons. First, the God of -the modern has lost his definiteness. He is thought of as something -vague, as a "Life Force," or a "Power not ourselves that makes for righteousness." Second, the churches of today have built up an oppressive system of ethics that condemns many apparently harmless pleasures, and has probably been the greatest of factors in keeping youth from the churches. Russell says, "I have known earnest young men who- accepted wholeheartedly the teachings of Christ; they found themselves in opposition to official Christianity." W. S. N. S. Love of country, or patriotism, is almost a lost ideal. The fact that the power of nationalism is so frequently misused in a free nation has made it apparent to youthful intelligence that patriotism is the 'chief curse of the age." W. S. N.-S. Our ideals of progress have too much of the character of Babbitt about them. Only measurable progress is recognized today, and it is Russell's belief (and ours) that the really important things are not measurable at all. Hence modern youth, vaguely sensing an insincerity in the basis nature of the present conception of "Progress," thinks but little of it as an ideal. -W. S. N. S. The word "Beauty" has lost its significance. There is somehow an old-fashioned touch to the very thought of beauty as an ideal. As Russell says, "A modern artist would be indignant if he were accused of seeking beauty." He seems to rather seek to startle. W. S. N. S. Truth, instead of being an ideal in present days, is something to be torn down. All sorts of enemies are at constant war with it: pragmatism, behaviorism, psychologism, relativity, physics. It is virtually impossible for an educated person to worship truth, knowing that there is no one truth that is better than another truth. W. S. N. S. We saw a group of little third or fourth grade training school children playing out on the mound, or the heap, or the hillock, or whatever you call it. Somehow they looked better there than they do swinging in iron swings. Drama Club Play Pleases Audience DRAMA CLUB PLAY IS WELL RECEIVED BY LARGE AUDIENCE First Showing of Phillip Barry's "The Youngest" Is Well Received by Appreciative Students. Last night a large and appreciate audience witnessed the first performance of the Drama Club's presentation of "The Youngest" an exceptionally entertaining comedy by Philip Barry. It is certain that if any among the audience were at odds with life and disgusted with conditions in general when they at-tered the auditorium, they left with a lightheartedness and spirit of "All's right with the world." The excellent cast and artistic planning of every scene put the play over in a notable manner. Victor H. Hoppe directed the production and is to be praised for his ability in the techincal direction as well as in training the cast to live and become one with their parts. His assistant was Virginia Howell, who did efficient work as business manager and acted the role of maid in the play. If you -know the trials and tribulations of being the youngest child in a family you are duly qualified to suffer with Tom Durham. Mr. Durham elicited sympathy and provided much amusement, as Richard Wins-low. He was a boy with ambitions, standing alone and being stormed at on every side by a practical family. His. boyish disgust, sincerity, and bravado were delightful. Charming is the one word fitting Lou Griffin in the feminine lead as Nancy. Her cleverness in handling the whole family make you doubt her sincerity, but she showed up "true blue" at (Continued on Page Four) o LEAGUE HAS SECOND MEETING OF QUARTER Install Jennie Berg, New President, by Retiring President, Jean Phil-ippi; Musical Program Enjoyed. The Womens League held their second assembly of the quarter last Fi'iday May 16. A discussion led by President Jean Philippi, was held concerning plans which would enable the League to raise more money for the activity program, and the advisability of assigning Big Sister for Freshmen girls next fall, was considered. Following these discussions a program was presented under the direction of Gladys Smith. Jennie Berg, newly elected president, announced the numbers. Margaret Morrison gave a piano solo, followed by a violin solo by Ethel Boynton, accompanied by Muriel Myhre. Evelyn Montgomery sang two songs, and was accompanied by Dorothy Montgomery at the piano. Piano Students to Appear Assembly Jean Philippi and Suzanne Ciss-na, students of Edith R. Strange, of the department of Music, will be presented in a musical recital by Miss Strange in the regular assembly next Tuesday, May 27. They will be assisted by Mary Miller, Irene Wilson, Muriel Myhre, Betty Bellman, Kathryn Berkeley, and Clara Vander Griend. This program promises to be exceptionally interesting in view of the fact that almost all of the young musicians are students of the Normal school, except Suzanne Ciss-na, who is a student in the training school. Miss Philippi has appeared before audiences here several times and always has been enthusiastically received. As the student body sems to appreciate programs presented by some of their own members, this is certain to prove stimulating. A varied and well-balanced program has been arranged which will include solos and two piano ensemble numbers. Have Important Roles In "The Youngest" LOU DU BOIS TOM DURHAM EDENS HALL GIRLS TO GIVE INFORMAL TOMORROW EVENING Dancing Will Start at 8:30, With the Five Bumble B's Playing; Lou Mohring General Chairman. Julius Raplee, who is a missionary in Venezuela, South America, at the Osanako mission, and who is now home on a furlough, gave a very interesting and instructive talk to-the Y. W. C. A. recently on the conditions in South America. He was very well received. A spring dance is to be given in the blue room of Edens Hall tomorrow night by the girls of the dormitory, in place of the customary informal. It was decided to make the affair as simple as possible on account of the lateness of the date. A spring decoration motif is to be carried out with flowers and greenery and music will be furnished by the Five Bumble B's. I t was decided not to invite patrons and patronesses, although Mrs. Alice Houston, Miss Fern Johnson, and Miss Adele M. Jones will attend the affair. "The girls have planned a very attractive dance", Lucille Mohring chairman of the social committee declared, "and have arranged for unusually clever programs. Mary Miller is chairman of the decoration committee. Jane Polachek is taking ctre of the programs and Betty Pederson is heading the clean-up committee." Will Award Cup to Tennis Victors No regular meeting of the Board of Control was held this week, although a special meeting was held Friday of last week to determine whether a cup would be given for the winner of the Tri-Normal tennis tournament tomorrow. It was decided that the Co-Op would donate a cup for the meet, which will become the permanent property of the winning team. It was also suggested that our Athletic department get in touch with those of the other two schools and arrange for a more elaborate cup to be given next year. The board will advise that the Trf- Normal cup become the permanent property of one school only after a series of winning meets. o WILL HOLD BANQUET On Friday, May 23, the Alkisiah Club will hold its Spring Quarter Banquet in the Montague-McHugh tearooms. o Poor Health Forces Associate Editor to Discontinue Studies Bob Walters, associate editor of the Viking, was the second Normal student to find it necessary to leave school this week on account of illness. Mr. Walters had been suffering for several weeks with attacks of the grip and flu, and upon an examination Wednesday it was learned that he has sinus trouble. He will remain under the care of Dr. E. F. Larkin for several days before returning to his home in Astoria, Oi'egon. During the absence of Mr. Walters, "Normalite", popular feature column of the Viking, will be handled by Arden Benthien. MR. BOND GIVES ADDRESSES E. A. Bond, of the Mathemathics department delivered the Commencement Day address at Maple Falls last Friday evening and at Puyallup on Monday. There were 125 graduates from Puyallup High this year, Mr. Bond said. o IVERSON ELECTED AS MEN'S CLUB PREXY Ingwald Iverson- was elected to the presidency of the Mens club at the meeting held last Friday, and Allen Ross was elected to the vice presidency, while Eddie Dyff was selected as secretary-treasurer, and Earl Hutchins was named to represent the organization in the Inter- Club council. A new amendment to the constitution was adopted, making the term of officer three quarters, rather than one quarter, as has been done in the past. Following the business meeting, Herbert Ruckmick gave an interesting talk on Photography, and explained the rapidly expanding importance of that interesting avocation. o SENIORS TO PICNIC AT LAKE SAMISH BUREAU APPOINTS MANY TO POSITIONS DURING BUSY WEEK Work Increases for Appointment Bureau as Time for Graduation Draws Nearer; Many ---------- Northwest Viking - 1930 May 23 - Page 2 ---------- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^w w? lt; Wm$^m8@m WA^NCH^NS^^ Formerly The Wee*iy Messenger—Founded 1899 Published evtery Friday except during the month of September, Students, Washington State Normal, Bellingham. ^ by the Associated € Entered in the Postoffice at Bellingham, Washington, as second class matter by Virtue of the act of March 3, 1879. . , Printed by the Miller _ Sutherlen Printing Company, Bellingham National Bank Bldg.

Macgill Clayton Unger Julia Bouck Hugh Lovegren BAYING THE MOON. Luring the present quarter, which will soon be the past quarter, many reform, have been agitated by students, though few with any effect. Nor has this quarter been an exceptional one. The fact of the matter is that students are constantly suggesting reforms, but seldom with any air ot conviction. We believe that the reason for this is that students have done much revolting over alleged injustices that they have gotten so calloused that they can't convince themselves any longer. We believe that the great-est drawback to student reforms is that we students yell too much and too We are agitated over everything. If the soup is cold some noon, we bellow about it. If the spinach displeases us, we point our faces to the sky and bawl. In fact, whenever we become displeased, we throw our B y lungs into action, and the whole pack of us go into full cry. Which would be all right if we used some discretion about it. But Ae truth is, we shout so loudly and so long that the faculty (who hold the whip hand in any dispute), become accustomed to it, and rather than lend us the serious ear, treat us with about the same respect that they would show me midnight tomcat on the back fence. We are either thrown out, or we are yelled down. And, consequently, a lot of mighty !'|p^"i«fbnns which would, perhaps, contribute to the efficiency of the school, go by the board. o MEN'S CLUB ' . \ .

Satire is nice, all right, but gee, it's tiresome to always be bitter about something. .* * * There's one thing yet that bothers us, though. We don't know what the idea is of having all these darned radiator pipes exposed. We are, at present, nursing a swell (ed) big blister on bur left elbow, a most inconvenient place. All we did was reach down after a pencil on the floor, but we let said elbow sway carelessly around as we reached, and sowie!—we got burned! Now, why should that be? * * * Also, we have observed that these blamed pipes are hot as—, well, very hot, even on the balmiest of spring days. Probably we'd better not pass any criticism on that fact, though. We may get ourselves involved in the dark and mysterious science of heating and show off our ignorance of said science. There may be a certain necessary amount of fuel to be consumed each day, or something. We really don't know. # * * Ahem! The "Sage Cynic" came forth in a student opinion last week to take exception to the term "male alarm clock", used in a recent Viking feature. We can't imagine who of the Viking staff could be guilty of such terrible indiscretion... But anyway, gracious us, gracious us, this ignorance is pitiful.. Almost everybody knows that alarm clocks are made in two sexes. Gee whiz, we learned thta when we were a mere child! And anyone writing of alarm clocks should distinguish, you know, so as to make his meaning clear. MR.X.: MR.Z.: not heard MR. X.: I beg your pardon, Mr. Z., but according to parliamentary procedure—and so on, ad infinitum. EXTEMPO CONTEST Glancing over the list of winners of the Fall and Winter elimination contests for the year's best extemporaneous speaker, Quick, Langworthy, Fitzwater, and Gerold, it appears that the final contest speeches on June 3 should be the best that Normal students have heard since the contests were started. Rumors have it that a number of other veterans will be eliminating each other in the preliminary, and this will doubtless put two more speakers of tried ability into the finals. But what with the competition this,year, the winner of the Extempo Cup will have something to write home about. This name, "Sage Cynic", though, has caused us considerable wonder. When we referred to the dictionary, we found that "Sage", means "wise; discerning;., well-judged;., discriminating; characterized by wisdom grave". Well, that left us still wondering. How could anyone be wise and discerning when he didn't even know that there were such things as male alarm clocks? Humph, say we! * ff * And this word "Cynic" bothered us, too. It means "a morose, surly or sarcastic person; or one of a sect of ancient Greek philosophers". Now that's not very blinking consistent. We ask you, could anyone "characterized by wisdom" be "morose" or "surly"? We think not. And as to the latter part of the definition, we could see how a person could be "Greek", all right, but "ancient"?.. —M—m—m—m— we think not, anyway. Names like that are just too deep for us, we guess. * * 0 Just to change the subject, we'll quote something a fellow named Coleman Cox, once said: "I am a great believer in luck. The harder I work, the more of it I seem, to have". Figure it out for yourself. * * • gt; GREAT SIMPLE FACTS 1. Though our relatives are wished upon us, our friends we can always pick for ourselves. 2. Though our faces are wished upon us, our noses we can always— Gracious!.. That was almost a break! Student Opinion Just a word to back up -Editor Craft's plea for an orientation course influencing the student's appreciation of music. Unless a student is naturally musical or comes from a rare school in which music has been regarded with the same importance as the necessary courses, he is going to enter Normal with a very meager knowledge of this art. It has been the lot of many of us to graduate from country schools where musical instruction occurred once a week and we were taught to carry a tune. From there to high school where we learned the definition of that high and mighty word, "opera," where interested ones sang in glee clubs, and where, if the school happened to have a fitting instructor, an orchestra was organized for a certain few who had been fortunate enough to take lessons. Now let an individual of that musical training enter Normal, plunge him into the musical artists' courses, make him listen to the gifted and trained musicians who bring us music in its highest form—will he understand and appreciate? Ten to one, No! He will sit restlessly in assembly, either read, disturb others, or look bored. But give him a working knowledge of what it is all about, instruct him while he has the chance to listen to artists, or just open the door for him a few inches. Soon you will find he has pushed it wide open and is exploring the beauty and wonders of a glorious new world inside. —W. L. o Hospital Notes Normalites Earn in Devious Ways DRAMA CLUB PLAY Those who did not see "The Youngest," last night, should date themselves up for the Drama Club Play tonight. The directors promised a good play, well acted, and it may be a long time before many of us will be able to see another. If you have been lulled to non-resistance during the past month by artificial dime-novel talkie-singie-dancies, it will amaze you how much you have been cheated out of when you see a group of human beings, under artistic direction, playing a play that was written by an artist for people who want their comedies and their tragedies to have tomething of beauty in them. Fisher Stresses Normal Loan Fund - « • »»ii Committee on Life Diplomas Receives Favorable Reports What qualities do a school board and district superintendent expect a teacher to have? The answer to this question may be found in the questionnaires re-turried to the Life Diploma Committee concerning persons who have made applications for life diplomas. These questionnaires are sent to school boards and district superintendents to find out the success that new teachers have had in | i i their first three or four years of Bleaching.- .'• fpli iTtoe ':kind of reports which the pf committee likes to receive are those which have nothing but praise for J that teacher. Some of these run as i follciws:••-This girl is an exceptionally efficient teacher". "She is a ppi thorough worker and has good co- operation with students, faculty, iSindparents". "He is a fme leader ^lindabasthe confidence of his pupils". "She is the most resourceful and original teacher in the system". "He is an exceptionally fine young man, refined, quiet manners, pleasant to work with, and willing to cooperate". "Each year she has shown improvement". "She is a fine classroom leader and a growing teacher". "She is doing splendid work and I would not hesitate to re-employ her". There are some reports on the other hand which the committee does not like to receive. These are of this type. "He was interested in his work but would not co-operate". "She was willing but not efficient", or "She has a good character but lacks general culture". The committee cannot conscientiously grant diplomas on reports of this kind so they usually recommend that the applicants teach their full five years. To date, 116 applicants have been approved and 31 turned down. At a recent assembly President C. H. Fisher, emphasized among other things, the fact that we have a Student Loan Fund. Commenting later on the fund, Miss Theresa Gunther, chairman of the Student Loan Fund committee, declared: "Any student may borrow from the Student Loan Fund on certain condtiions. Application to be made to the chairman of the Loan committee. This committee is composed of faculty members who are appointed by the president. Upon recommendation of the committee the student may be granted a loan from the fund under certain conditions. The total amount loaned to any student during his entire stay at Normal is $200.00. No loan can be made at any one time of more than fifty dollars to Freshmen or seventy-five dollars to Sophomores. The provisions are: 1. That the student must have been in attendance at the Normal school for a period not less than one quarter and ---------- Northwest Viking - 1930 May 23 - Page 3 ---------- $Mm? WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Wwm^lWWWWW'M^M TROPHY CUP GIVEN TO WINNING TEAM In Tri-Normal Tennis Meet to be Held on Courts Here Tomorrow; Kork, Emery, and Jewell Play. /'Wwrni^w^w^Mmi^m WHO WILL WIN TOMORROW? Tomorrow will be the climax of the intensive training of the Viking •track men. Up to this time they have been working hard in dual meets and in practice to get themselves toned up for this big final event. Although the track squad has been small throughout the whole season a real conscientious attitude has been taken by t h e fellows this giving them an even break with Cheney for the Tri-Normal championship by their dogged persistence to win, as has been shown in t he past two dual meets with the College of Puget Sound and Ellensburg. Both of these schools took defeat, at the hands of the Vikings by scores of 78 1-3 to 51 2-3 and 88 to 42 respectively. These scores might indicate that either we have an exceptionally strong team or else the teams we have met were very weak. Ellensburg will undoubtedly be out of the race for the title. Cheney will probably manage to garner a few more points than Bellingham. That is, if the past times of some of the .runs of the Cheney athletes prove to be true. The best race will probably be in the two-mile run between Brink-man and Pelly. Last year Brink-man barely nosed out Pelly and this year Pelly will give Brinkman a better race because of his past defeat. At least it will probably be the most interesting race of the meet. Some other good races will be in the 440 and 880, but the mile and sprints will probably not be so , interesting. If Cheney is very strong in t he field events the meet will go to Cheney without a doubt, but if we can equal Cheney in the field events it is going to be a real question as to whom the pennant is going to go to. As far as I have been able to figure the whole situation out, no one can afford to miss the meet. The least you can do is come and root for your Alma Mater. o WEATHER SLOWS BASEBALL PRACTICES The weather has been playing havoc with the baseball team in both the schedule of games and in practices. In the past two weeks very few practices have been possible because of the dampness of the soil. Last Saturday the annual clash with the U. of W. Prosh had to be postponed because of the rain. Only one intramural game has been played in the past, two weeks. Handicapped with such conditions the coach and team should consider themselves lucky if they can get by their next game with a win. If they lose we cannot blame the team. The old Weather Man is the one to attach the blame to. o TRI-NORMAL TENNIS MATCHES Our tennis teams have shown considerable progress in the past few weks. I n t h e first matches with the U. of W. Prosh, the Prosh took practically every game, but in t he last matches the Vikings took several games and the Prosh were nearly defeated in several of the sets. If this can be taken as a basis, the netmen may come out on top of the pile with the Tri-Normal championship belt attached to them. Of course the team from Cheney and Ellensburg have to be considered, but since there has not been ,any dope available on them it is hard to say how strong they really are. All that I can say is if you really wish to see some real tennis sets be at the courts Saturday morning. o RECORDS MAY BE LOWERED Some records will probably be lowered tomorrow by over-anxious Normal athletes as they will strive to set a record for themselves. In the pole vault if everything goes all right the record will falL The present record stands at 11 feet 6 inches, and Flowers can equal this if not beat it. In the two-mile run the record will fall. The present record is 10:26, and Brinkman and Pelly have both run the distance in less time this season. , The mile record will probably fall if Pelly runs the four laps in as ** fast a time as he has been doing. The present record stands at :4:40.2. o — DO NOT FORGET THESE EVENTS There are three things that you must not forget this week-end. The Drama Club Play, "The Youngest." The Tri-Normal Tennis and Track meet; and the coming of the Viking Vodvil. Have you been practicing on your acts. Remember, try-outs are to be held on May 27 and a cup is to be offered as first prize. Who is going to win t he cup this year? The Thespians walked off with it last year. There will also be other ' big surprises this year. Tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock, tennis stars from Bellingham, Cheney and Ellensburg will get under way for the annual tri-normal matches. Two singles and a doubles champion will be picked, and the school winning the majority of these matches will be given the championship trophy cup. Just how the matches ' will turn out is a problem. Although the Vikings dropped both of their matches to the Washington Prosh, they are figured a chance to cop the tourney. Little is known of the other two schools' strength. Cheney defeated Whitman College, which means something, but nothing has been heard from Ellensburg. The Viking team is yet partly undecided. Rork is slated to play the first singles and will pair up with Emory in the doubles. Jewell or Cdn-stantine will play second singles, Wednesday Jewell defeated the latter, 6-7, 3-6, 7-5, but another match is yet to be played. s Frosh Repeat The University of Washington Frosh again defeated the Vikings in six straight matches in a contest played here Friday, May 16. Every match was hard-fought, however, and the Frosh had to go a t top-speed all the way. Rork was defeated by Sletterdahl, 2-6, 6-2, 6-2, and Constantine lost to Reike, 6-2, 6-3. Emery dropped a hardfought contest to Pierson, 6-4, 9-7, while Jewell lost an equally hard one to Talbot, 7-5, 6-2. In doubles Rork and Emery came close, but were defeated by Reike and Sletterdahl, 6-3, 4-6, 6-4. Talbot and Ellerby completed the defeat, winning from Jewell and Constantine, 6-4, 6-3. o ATTEMPT TO MAKE HANDBALL REGULAR SPORT SUCCESSFUL Viking Nine Have Two Games Scheduled to Be Played Next Week Some were glad and some were sad, as the last of the technique practices closed Tuesday night for Women's baseball. Despite threatening clouds and high wind that raged, the valiant women stuck to the posts assigned them to raise their standard of the number of fair balls, hits, number caught and, above all, to keep down the number of missed balls. From raw, unseasoned material, Miss Mildred Jewell and the managers have worked up some very promising stuff for a good, peppy Freshman and Sophomore team. The Freshman have the odds on the Sophs with the hardest-hitting and surest-catching group of all. Sigrid Wiberg seems to have cinched the berth of pitcher for the Frosh, as no one else tried out. On t he Sophomore side the strong arm of Gay Smith would cause an even balance of power. The teams will be picked for sure, Thursday. Then some close games can be expected. When it comes time to pick the All-Star team the great question mark will be raised again, for even the coach will be hard hit to decide on the right ones. o PHiLO THESPIANS ON BIG WEEK-END TRIP VIKING CINDER MEN BURY ELLENSBURG Eleven Firsts Help Viking Boys Win a n Easy 88 to 42 Victory Over Foe, in Dual Track Meet; Blistered hands, tired and aching feet, and an earnest desire to at least get one good sock at the little rubber ball is the result of the first attempt at putting handball over as a part of the regular Spring sport's program for Women's Athletics. The turnouts showed a wealth of promising material for a hard-hitting team. Many hours have been spent in practice of serving and r e ceiving the ball. A round-robin tournament was put in play with the following women entered on the ladder: Evelyn Forest, Alena Bever, Marietta Bergeron, Thelma Hilburger, Olevene Bewely, Phyliss Gresnan. Each woman must win two games out of three in her matches. Twenty-one points constitutes a game. If a woman makes the first team 100 points are earned. Fifty points are earned for the intramurals. Miss Margeiy Horton urges support for this new sport, for only by support can the girls be spurred on to victory for t he Blue and White. o Archery Tournament Proves Interesting Sherwood Forest, transplanted to lower Sehome Hill, is the scene of the women's Robin Hood tournament of the Normal. When the challenging started, no one knew who would be the winners. It still looks doubtful, for the contestants creep up on one another every day that matches are played. The standing of the women entered to date is as follows: •Hunt, Towner, Koshi, May, Thompson, Bresnan, Pearson, Dahl. The outcome of the remaining matches to be played will decide high players of the tournament and pick the Freshman and Sophomore teams. These two classes will then shoot for the honors of the class. From these teams the all-star players are picked who will shoot for grand prize winner of the school on Field Day. o Frank Everenden will spend the week-end in Seattle on business. Fifty-three gallant Philo-Thes-pian sailors boarded the yacht Thetis at 4 o'clock last Saturday, planning to have the time of their lives on the week-end trip at Olga beach, on Orcas island. And they did! It was slow moving, going over, the trip taking about three and a half hours. Along' toward 7 o'clock people became decidedly hungry and so much fruit and several loaves of bread miraculously disappeared from the food supply. Having landed on shore with only a few sick sailors, working crews set forth to prepare lodging for the night and most of all, a meal for the starving crowd. Around 9 o'clock the whole family was eating heartily of the best meal they ever tasted. "5 Bumble Bees" Play A dance at which the '*5 Bumble The Normal Vikings had little trouble defeating the Ellensburg Wildcats in a dual track and field meet held here, Friday, May 16.

WASHINGTON EXTEMPO GUP MEANS OF INSPIRATION FOR POTENTIAL ORATORS Speech Contests Institution for Three Years; Women Monopolize Engraving Privileges. Training School Extempo loving cup! The name is heard after every contest and is the honored goal of the winner, but to how many does it appear any more than a name? The students are quite naturally and properly concerned only with the speaker, but, for once, let us reverse things and think only of the cup, its meaning; and what it may stand for in the life of a student. Proudly it stands, and engraved on its glossy sides are the names of individuals who burst, through the narrow bands of doubt and timidity, who faced the public fearlessly and gave to them thoughts original and significant. Probably t h a t public appearance awakened a latent ambition of the speaker, gave him a new and cosmopolitan view of life, while at the same itime there was a spirit of emulation created among the listeners. They awoke to the importance and value of such an activity and this led naturally to a stimulation, and from there to a higher standard in the public speaking and debate of the school. The current topics used as subjects by the speakers helped to give a new slant on problems of national interest. The cup came into the life of Normal in 1927 with the advent of the Extemporaneous Speech contests. For that year June Wetherell won the place of honor followed by Margaret Hill in 1928, and by Joy Efte-land in 1929. The cup is anticipating now, stai proudly, the individual whom it may honor for 1930. Incidentally, the names so far have been girls and our great orators have been men—perhaps our noble cup puzzles over that. — o WOMEN'S MUSIC CLUB PRESENTS CONCERT The Bellingham Women's Music Club Chorus was presented in its annual Spring concert in the assembly Tuesday, May 20. The club is under the direction of Harrison Raymond and Althea Horst Raymond played the accampaniment. Ethel Lever Hawes, soprano of Vancouver, B. C, assisted as soloist. The first part of the program consisted of numbers by the chorus and a group of solos. The remainder of the hour was given to the rendition of "The River of Stars," a cantata by Mr. Bawdin, with words by Alfred Noyes. PLAY DAY Wednesday, May 21, was Play Day in the Training School. A picnic lunch was enjoyed at 11:20 and rhythms and dances on the knoll by each grade, tumbling and mat demonstrations by the boys, with a final windup led by the pre-pri-mary were events of the morning. I n the afternoon there were games on the field: Baseball, service ball, ring tennis, relays, tags and so forth, in which every one took part. Play Day was originally intended as a joint activity participated in by the training school and students, from the country ^schools. This year, however, the outside children were unable to attend on account of epidemics. VIKING REPORTERS VISIT LOCAL PAPER Last Tuesday, at 2 o'clock, members of the News Writing classes and several other interested students went on a tour of inspection through The Herald press and composing rooms. Packed in and around Mr. Fowler's Ford sedan and Clayton Ungcr's "Chev" coupe, the thirteen members of the party let the school and sped down to the Kerald building, where they were met and escorted on their tour by Charles Sefrit, of the Herald staff. Many Interesting Features Several interesting features of the trip were the inspection of the morgue, the place in which all cuts and pictures are kept; the machine in which the mats for stereotyping were moulded; the machines which automatically receive news over the United Press and Associated Press wires, and the printing of the mailing edition of the Evening Herald. Following are the names of those students who made the trip: Harold Magelson, Florence Elliott, Clayton Unger, Wave Lampman, Myrna Thompson, Martin Jackson, Coressa Shull, E. Canfield, Charles Dewey, Mrs. Sarah Magill, Elinor Anderson, Marion Marchand, and Hugh Love-gren. o TRI-NORMAL MEET HERE TOMORROW (Continued from Page One) prospects have been looking brighter, but certainly no dope slinger can name with fair accurracy the winning team. In 1928 Ellensburg was the winner but last year the Vikings won at Cheney by one point, the score standing: Ellensburg 20; Cheney 55; and Bellingham 56. This year Cheney has a good man in Pelley, who is an exceptional miler and two miler. He is expected to break a tri-meet record. Flowers of Bellingham also has a chance to break a record in the pole vault. So who will win is a big question. MISS RICH RETURNS Miss Mary E. Rich, director of the Training school, returned Wednesday noon from an extended trip through the East, in time for the Play Day activities. o The training school children will hold their annual "Hour of Song" at the regular nine o'clock assembly hour next Thursday, May 29. The purpose of this hour of entertainment is to show some of the different types of musical activity carried on by the children. There will be interpretative work, chorus singing, a harmonica band, and rhythm orchestra. Parents and friends of the children are cordially invited to attend. _ o T. N. P. Weekly Service CHENEY Two hundred and twenty-one students are applicants for diplomas from the Cheney state normal at the end of the spring quarter May 29. Dr. E. O. Holland, president of Washington State College will deliver the commencement address. The Masquer Dramatic club presented three one-act plays in the Normal auditorium, Friday evening, May 16. On Saturday, May 9 and 10, the 20th annual May festival was held in Cheney. A park program of May dances, street parade, concert, vaudeville, baseball game and a three-act play were features. Normal students took an active part. Elaborate decorations featured the junior prom which was held in the gymnasium Saturday evening. Five women were presented "W" sweaters, symbolic of athletic prowess, Friday. Points toward sweaters are won by participation in baseball, jollyball, volleyball, basketball, and hiking. The Cheney tennis team defeated the tennis squad of Whitworth college, Spokane, five matches to one, in a meet at Cheney last week. o PICNIC IN CANADA A group of Normalites, including several of the faculty people, pic-ni6ked last Sunday at Hope, B.

XXXI—NO. 18 WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Friday, February 10, 1933 Normalite TO A DEGREE TWO EXERCISED MONEY TO SPEND -By Bob Walters *• FEB: 17 ASSEMBLY IS TO FEATURE DANCER Luisa Espinel to Present Pictures from Spain Little I t should be a week of rejoicing for faculty, students and graduates of the Normal schools of the State of Washington with the new Normal degree-granting authorization tucked away in the bag. I t received the signature of Governor Martin, who had assured President Fisher of his assent and has set the day that will complete the campaign that has been carried on by Washington educators for the past ten years, and that surely means business. To make .the bill more effective, it carried by a vote in both the House and the Senate, which was nearly a complete white-washing for the opposing group... That alone must have been quite a tonic to the minds of those who have fought and fought hard for years for this measure. They deserve the fruits that come with unquestionable victory. President Fisher was jubilant at the results and he should be. Here and now we congratulate him wholeheartedly. A mere congratulation is so minute compared to the hours of effort he has put in, that • it sounds like a pin dropping in a room of fifteen riveting hammers. , // 15 something to run an institution with a minimum of friction, but it is another thing to advance its standing constantly. President Fisher has done both. W. S. N. S. Our scholastic standing is excellent at the present time; with this new angle it will add prestige to our education and that is what we want. I think all agree to that. The time has past, or at least is in the dim, backward distance, when the Normal schools of the state represented a place to pick up a few canned facts to pass on to the coming generations as the pure stuff, or for the student to put in time when unfit for anything else, in other words, just a grist-mill turning out nonthinking, non-leading, personality-minus weak-sisters of the teaching profession. Maybe we haven't turned out world-beating athletes, BUT WE "Cuadros Castizos" or little pictures from Spain and other Hispanic countries, is the theme of a program to be presented in assembly on Friday, February 17, by Luisa Espinel, a dancer and interpreter of Spanish Folk music; In addition to the repertoire of folk songs and dances of former ages, she sings the songs of Spanish moderns such as de Falla, Granados Turina and Nin. She also has a large collection of folk songs from our Southwestern states and Mexico. Program Varied Her program is built around seven groups of songs. The groups represent northern Spain, the Levant of Spain, the south of Spain, the Spanish Moors, the north t gt;f Mexico and California. For each dance she has a different costume and colorful properties, many of which have histories of their own. Honored Highly Miss Espinel has received two of the highest artistic honors accorded a recitalist: in 1928 she was sent as a special envoy of the famous Institute de las Espanas on a tour of the United States; and was assisting ar-ist at the Anniversary Festival of Chambers of Music at Pittsfield, Massachusetts, sponsored by Mrs. Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge. o WAA to Sponsor Four-Star Movie Philip Barry's "Animal Kingdom" Coming Next Week QUARTETTE APPEARS BEASTS TO TANGLE Costumed Les Voyageurs Group Presents Varied Music An attractive program of music is expected when the mixed quartette of "Les Voyageurs" of Vancouver, B. C, appears in assemby Tuesday, February 14. The artists will wear full dress costumes and uniforms and will present a program ranging from TUT dor Madrigalis and Palestrina to early and late Victorian music. Modern impressionistic piano selections, Dvorak and Beethovan duos modern light classics, and a selection from "The Firefly" complete the program. The madrigals will be presented in the old English style, with the singers seated at a table. The personnel includes Mr. Bates, who announces the numbers; Bettie Cross, pianist; Marion Frieze Edwards, soprano; Jane Sugden, contralto; William Beadle, tenor; and J. McAllister Wallace, bass. SHORHSITSPEAK Adult Recreation Is Subject of Talk by P. E. Teacher E Powerful Partis and Battling Brewer Will Battle (Continued on Page Two) SILLY SAM GIVEN BY DRAMA CLASS Plot Portrays Factory Life Northern England A very fine performance of the, one-act play, "Silly Sam," was presented in assembly this morning by Victor H. Hoppe's play production group. •' The plot is of a very simple and delicate nature dealing with the life of Sarah, an old woman who has spent her entire life as a common . weaver in one of the factories of northern England. Harriet Ricker-son, in this difficult role did a fine bit. of character work. Roger Chapman, characterized as the young curate, played his part in a calm and natural manner. A touching, scene was created when Silly Sam, played by Nelson Brewer arrives at the critical mo- • ment as a reprieve and saves Sarah from the poor house. Katherine Bowden, playing the role of Emma, a young weaver, did well in portraying the true meaning of friendship and sympathy between the factory workers. Roger Chapman deserves considerable praise for his directing of this successful production. ''. The play is particularly appropriate at,:'this tune bemuse of the present existing conditions among the the need of the bill not being que* : f a f l ^ r wortfcr^^ "The Animal Kingdom," a four-star picture showing at the Mount Baker theatre, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday of next week, will be sponsored by the W. A. A. Until Tuesday, tickets for this motion picture can be procured for 25 cents each, at the landing in front of the main door. Twenty-five percent of each admission sold by organization members will be cleared by the W. A. A. This sum will go to pay off. some of the Sinclair Island lodge debt. "The Animal Kingdom" strangely enough, has not a single animal in it. It is a clever satire on modern society. The writer of the stage pro-production, Philip Barry, gave i t this title simply because his characters show so many elemental emotions that they are fit only to be ranked in the animal kingdom. Critic Praises Show Pare Lorentz a critic of much note writes in Vanity Fair: "You could not ask for a more skillful or careful or genuinely fine production than 'The Animal Kingdom' To begin with it is by far the best study of poor little rich people Barry has written. And as Leslie Howard, William Gorgan, Ann Harding, and Myrna Loy have been secured for the leading characters, it could hardly miss being a splendid production." _ o Barefoot Schoolboy Bill Successful in Senate at Olympia The "Barefoot Schoolboy'' act, introduced to the state senate by Senator Gable, father of John and Charles Gable, attending Bellingham- Normal school, was passed by an unanimous vote of those present yesterday. The bill provides that the state bear half the running expenses of the' public schools, an increase of 30% from the percentage formerly appropriated for this purpose. The bill as passed was only amended in one respect from the one originally proposed by the senator., The only debate, was that concerning the proposed amendments,' Several phases of adult recreation will be discussed next Wednesday, night by Miss Thelma Short, women's physical education teacher, for regular broadcast Miss Short will link up with adult pastimes the activities and forms of recreation in which the women. are instructed here, showing that the Normal program of sports for girls is such as will be of use to them after graduation. She will explain the value of recreation to the students and to older people emphasizing its continued need when school attendance is a thing of the past. o SPENCER RESIGNS Tonight the wild men of the institution will meet in the big gym to tear each other limb from limb, much to the amazement or amusement of the fair young damsels and wolves of the school. The brawl will commence at 7:30 and you will be admitted to the arena for the small fee of ten cents, American money. (Canadian dough taken at the usual discount.) ' Powerful Partis and Battling Brewer will tangle in the main event for the championship of the hilltop and the privilege of staying at the girls' dormitory for six weeks— as if Brewer didn't spend most of his time there anyhow. In addition there will be four other events including Gropy Goheen and Duckem De Lancy at 140 lbs. This will be a fast bout. Cauley Flowers and Ice Berg will tangle at "Two Hearts in Waltz Time" Auditorium at 7 and 9 (Continued on Page Two) o LEAVES CITY Music Instructor Goes South Recover Health to U. of W. Regents Defer Action on Withdrawal Acceptance President M. Lyle Spencer of the University of Washington has handed his resignation to the new .board of regents. Dr. Spencer feels the board should have freedom of action at this time and that his move is for the best interests of the university. •In his resignation Dr Spencer requested that he be transferred to the English department, a position he held for a long time before taking over control of the University. The regents have not accepted the resignation and are waiting until a careful study is made. Harold B. Smith, head of the music department left by boat from Seattle Wednesday night with his wife and daughter for Palm Springs California. He will remain there until his health is better. - Palm Springs is located in the desert part of California and Mr. Smith hopes that the climate will hasten his convalescence. In the fall quarter, Mr. Smith was taken ill with slow pneumonia. His condition has improved decently, but he is not able to come back to Normal for the spring quarter as he had hoped. —'- o — STUDY TRAGEDIES M. Belle. Sperry's Classes Are to Begin Tragedies Miss Keeler Speaks on Barefoot School Boy Act over KVOS Discussing the new Barefoot School Boy act, Miss Delia Keeler, spoke over KVOS last Wednesday evening on the weekly faculty broadcast. / Miss Keeler reviewed the history of education in the state of Washington and showed the development of more satisfactory legislation in its behalf. She explained that few districts in the state are rich enough to support schools with the levies which are now permissible. Explaining the provisions and the purpose of the 1933 Barefoot Schoolboy Act, Miss keeler summarized her speech by saying: "It is the fundamental purpose of the new Barefoot Schooboy Act to fix standards for the state's and the counties' shares of the support of the common schools, and thus to preserve that equalizing principle'which has played so important a part in our educational progress; and to pass on to the children of the state their heritage; toe f ^ Members of the Shakespeare class taught by Miss M. Belle Sperry, have finished the study of Shakespeare's comedies and have begun the tragedies.

Good News From Olympia And now we've the degree bill passed! It seems impossible that the goal of so much effort has been reached. A new spirit, an undoubtedly better spirit, is saying what's to be done in the executive chambers at Olympia. Governor Martin and our friends in the legislature are to be thanked sincerely for their contribution to the improvement of the educational system of the State of Washington. But what a paradox it would be if the bill closing the three schools were to be passed. Surely a gubernatorial veto would follow the passage of such a bill. The Normal schools keep large number of people in Washington at work who would otherwise be standing in breadlines. Both the faculty and the student body of all three schools would be counted among the unemployed if the institutions should close. Washington needs its payroll. W e need our education. W e can have both! — o Assemblies Again GRANDAD DESCRIBES SPORT OF OLD DAYS Scribe Told "Muddyin"' Season Old South's Big Event Is Literary This and That Selections from Milt Gross may be all well and good for tired business men, but to present vaudeville "gags" to future teachers is an insult to the profession and a slap in th face to those present. Townsfolk who attended must have taken home very complimentary stories to the rest of the people in Bellingham concerning the excellence of our assembly programs and the intellectual level of entertainment designed to amuse those who will teach their children. Money could be saved in the school by. giving assemblies entirely over to clubs and organizations such as Mr. Hoppe's speech and play-production classes, the Drama club, and others, presenting programs of their own talent. The experience to the participating students would be of great value to them, and certainly programs superior to that of last Tuesday would be seen. The students are to be compli-mnted on the civility they showed the contralto. Not an uncouth razz-berry shook the sickly stillness after her selections. No one laughed. No one even left. There was only silence, and the impoliteness shown Prsident Fisher's slip-of-the-lip in a late assembly was redeemed. Pitying adults heard Jeannette Gause sing in the assembly, not unsympathetic children. _ o -. Bad Driveways Grandad, a rather hard and lean old Texan, who still chews snoose, and plays dominoes and in many other ways harks back to the "good old days," likes to tell about all t he pleasures he used to enjoy years ago. I like to listen to him, especially as he talks about "muddyin' ". Everyone goes "muddyin" ", for the day set for that activity is just as much a holiday for the people of the community as is the Fourth' of July, Pioneer's day or June Teenth* All available draft animals are rounded up to accompany the picnickers and when the party reaches the hunting ground—a slow-moving, shallow stream—the day's fun begins. "Poor Whites" Appreciate Holiday The recreation is not the kind of pleasure enjoyed by people who consider play a regular part of every day's program. I t is t he long-looked-for fun-fest that only hard-working "poor white" cotton farmers can appreciate. The atmosphere of the occasion is one of relaxation and intense enjoyment—a getting away for a time from the routine and t he drudgery of the back-breaking and soul-killing toil of the farms. "There is a fish-fry on today! Though tomorrow we may be working like "niggers" there's a fish-fry on "today!" Fish Are Caught with Mules and Clubs While the women and old men watch the festivities from the river bank or make the necessary preparations for lunch the boys and younger men begin to "fish." A few of them mount mules and wade them into the deep pools where the yellow "cats" are to be found, while another group of fishermen wade barelegged out into the middle of the streams with clubs. The water soon gets considerable "muddied" and the "cats" begin coming up for air. When a fish appears on the surface a fisherman clubs him, throws him up on the bank and then looks around for more victims. Occasionally a disturbed water moccasin makes the fishing more interesting and exciting. Smell Those Catfish Fryin' While the fish are being caught the women clean them and make ready for the picnic. Small boys and girls play on a swing made by. nature: a trailing grapevine. Others climb slippery elms and ride them to the ground A baby plays on a blanket under its mother's Watchful eye. (Centipedes and stinging lizards are sometimes met with in the grass.) Everyone is happy and many are singing. Why shouldn't they sing and be gay! Isn't "muddyin' " the most fun imaginable, outside that described in novels, and isn't the smell of frying catfish wonderful? The fish-fry days are gone now, for "muddyin' "has been made unlawful because it threatened to seriously deplete the number of fish in southern- rivers and creeks, but the twinkle in grandad's eye says he will always remember those "good old days" with joy. *June 19, celebrated by the southern negroes as the anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation. The early watermelons are just getting ripe at this time of the year. o Last week John Galsworthy, the last of the Victorian writers, and winner of the 1931 Nobel prize, died at the age of sixty-six. Galsworthy was born in Surrey, England, and was educated at Harrow and Oxford. He was admitted to the bar in 1890, but he thoroughly hated law. •":',''. He was of independent means.and for several years after he gave up his law practice he~ traveled widely and read a great deal. On one of his voyages he met Joseph Conrad and formed a fast friendship with him. Conrad had-begun to write, and he showed Galsworthy a manuscript. The latter recognized the worth of the work and advised Conrad to devote himself to writing. Thus another great author was launched on his career. -Galsworthy himself had no idea of becoming a writer, but he was encouraged to try. He was twenty-eight when he began, and he said of his first tales, "They had every4 fault." i n 1903 he commenced "A Man of Property," the frst of the Forsyte series, which occupied twenty-six years of his life and followed the Forsyte family through three generations. . . .' .• He wrote his manuscripts rapidly in a bold .hand. He corrected them extensively, making them always untidy. Galsworthy never made scenarios for his plays or outlines for his novels, and never quite knew how they were going to work out. He did not write under pressure of necessity, but waited for inspiration. In 1930 Galsworthy announced the last of the Forsyte series. "One can't keep on with that sort of thing indefinitely, especially after one has killed one's principal character." The novels "Maid in Waiting" and "Flowering Wilderness" begin the story of another family. "It may continue on to be another saga. One never knows," was Mr. Galsworthy's comment.

Evidence that Miss Catlin's work is appreciated in her community is the fact that her school has steadily grown larger. She began by teach ing the three children of two families in their homes, but when more and more mothers began sending their children to her, Miss Catlin found it necessary to look about for a new home. In the basement of a public library she now meets daily with her nine primary-grade children while well-informed and well-educated mothers instruct the pupils of the intermediate and upper grades. In addition to the usual academic subjects music, dramatics, and French are also taught. Not long ago Elizabeth Hopper, Director of the Appointment Bureau, received a letter from Miss Catlin in regard to the experiment she is undertaking at Longview. If optimism is an augury of success, then much is to be expected of Miss Catlin in the future. o STUDENTS HAVE FLU This week's list of illnesses from the nurse's office show that flu is still the main cause of absence. Jerry Robinson, Victor Iverson, Sister Mary Michael, Ann Prendergast Mrs. Corrine Longwood and Homer Siler have been out of school because of various forms of influenza.

Bellingham retaliated however with Rork Moser, Nolte, and Clint Mc- Beath doing the work to make the score 10-7. Ellensburg looped a long one as did Malcolm McBeath for the local five. The easter^i team came back to sink two more beautiful shots which were immediately followed by a field goal by Moser. The Wildcats made two more baskets to run the score to 20-11 as the half ended. Wildcats Open Up Rork opened the second round by scoring for Bellingham. Ellensburg looped a field goal. Clint McBeath also scored. The Wildcat retaliated with another goal, followed by foul shots by M. McBeath, C. McBeath, Nolte, and a free throw by Ellensburg, to run the score to 25- 18. The eastern boys got hot and sank three field goals in rapid succession Rork counted for the Vikings, followed by three more long ones and a foul shot by Ellensburg. Score 38-20 Moser made good on a free throw and C. McBeath swished the cords for a long one. Nolte connected a foul shot to make the score board read 38-24. The Wildcats repeated, as did McNeill with a field goal, and Moser with a foul shot. The eastern hoopmen sank their last field goal. Rork closed the game with a goal for Bellingham. Score 42-29.

This season's Inter-school hoop league is about the most gore-thirsty regiment of fat rascals that the school has witnessed in years. It looks like the former Baron, Charles Gable and his Garden Terrace crooners have a strangle-hold on the championship cup (Mrs. Baughman says that any of the boys can down three in a row without cream or sugar). Oh, well, we can't all be presidents, so just take it with a grain of sugar and a drop of milk, it's better that way anyhow. The boys' play basketball under the title of Viking Manor but that's alright. Folks, you missed the biggest game of the season the other day when the Varsity and the JayVees held an afternoon turnout 'at the Sandison Studios. It looked like a little posing act for General Motors and Chevrolet radiator caps but they tell me it's the Klipsun fad. * * *__.* * Jimmy Phelan returns to U. of W. to lead the pigskin enthusiasts and has he high hopes for the Huskies in 1933. He says a championship. Pacific Coast team means more to him than a winner in any eastern conference, so here he is.

Miss Kangley spoke of the "psychological approach" to be used in writing applications pointing out that the job-seeker should give the impression that he is fitted for the position offered. "An easy conversational but business-like and direct Coach Sam Carver says that with the first track meet scheduled with Ellensburg on April 29, the cinder turnouts will get earnestly under way next month. The last game on the basketball schedule will be played next week, and with the advent of good weather, the more eager boys will be out on the track the following week going thru their limbering-up paces. It's no secret that right now, the prospects for a high class squad of cinder artists have never been any brighter. This quarter there is a wealth of veteran, material in the school, and most of the men plan to return in the Spring. Sprinters Hot In the sprints, Normal will have Schilaty the best century man in the minor colleges of the state, and Chuck Thomas, who can usually be" counted on to finish a race in the one of the point-winning places. Prospects are not too bright in the middle distance runs but Johnny Stiger, Bob Hall, Bob Becken and Johnny Christy will be on hand while Albee, the county high school half-mile champion from Whatcom, will give the veterans a little competition. Topped by Johnny Gable, trinomial champion the Vikings will have a quartet of nifty broad jumpers which will include Howard Was-ley, Lee Williams and Dutch McBeath, a newcomer who will also see action in high jumping. Pearl, a classy broad-jumper from Lynden, is also figured on in this event. Pole-Vaulters Good Davey Jones and Posey Flowers can be counted on to take two places in the pole-vault against almost any competition that we shall encounter. Normal will be short on hurdle artists but Sam has received word that Jim Davis one of the very best hurdle men Normal has had in recent years, is contemplating returning to school next quarter Lew Lovegren, Brink Brinkman and Jo Johanhsen, a letterman in the mile who has sent word that he will probably come back, will be on hand to give the Vikings some high-powered materials in the distance runs. Many Javelin Throwers In the throwing division of the field events such potent performers as Berg, in the weights and javelin. Kemphaus, a last year's spear-tos-ser, and Temple who formerly threw the javelin at C. P. S., will aid Normal in gathering in the points. All of these boys, added to new men who are in school but of unknown quality, should develop into the formation of a first-class track team. '.Ah3:Nikfi Non-Run Stockings Without the Mesh!
