Allport Gordon W. Allport, the second lecturer in the series ofvisiting psychologists on campus, spoke to a noticeably older audience in the College AuditoriumMonday, July 17, at 8 :p.m. His topic was "The Psychologist's Image of Man." Dr. Allport capitalizedon the fact "A man who pulls habits out of a rat." that the ampliiier system was out of order bybeginning his talk with several jokes and comments on automation. He then proceeded toestablish the difference between psychologists and psychiatrists. According to Allport, "apsychologist is a man who pulls habits out of a rat. A psychiatrist is a man who goes to a strip-teaseand watches the audience.'' v ^â€¢According to Dr. Allport, a psychology professor at HarvardUniversity, there are two dominant ways of tackling psychology. One is the Aristotelian method to find, through classification and analysis, "What is man?" The other is the Augustinian approach, "Who amI?" Aristotle exalts reason; St. Augustine exalts awareness. There is little agreement amongpsychologists as to which of these methods should be employed. Dr. Allport then broke psychology into four main divisions: positivism, psychoanalysis, personalism, and existentialism. The mainstream ofWestern psychology since John Locke has been through the positivist approach. Positivists look atman as "A reactive being," according to Allport. His actions are determined by outer forces and innerdrives. Positivists study â€¢specifics and don't draw iinal conclusions. "The positivist rarely knows 'he isa prisoner of specific philosophical outlooks." Psychoanalysis like positivism regards man as amechanical reactor. It deals with the id and the superego. Allport said, "In the psychoanalytic view,the individual is kicked around in the parallel of forces.' Religion in this theory is regarded as an illusion,an escape from the consciousness. The personalistic theory looks at man as a patterned entity in whom it is impossible to account lor psychological processes. Dr. Alport, however, cut the consideration ofthis school short. He said, "We shouldn't go very far into this 'system, because the school doesn't reallyexist." Existentialism has no single answer to the nature of man. Some answers that existentialistsderive are in direct contradiction to each other. DR. FRED KNAPMAN Receives Fellowship Fred W.Knapman, Professor of Chemistry at Western Washington College, has been appointed an honorarymember of the faculty of the Chemistry Department of University College, London, for 1961-62. He hasreceived a fellowship from the National Science Foundation in support of this appointment . At theUniversity of London, Dr. Knapman will be engaged in independent 'study and research in organicchemistry. In addition, he plans to examine the undergraduate science program of several colleges anduniversities in England as well as those of a few secondary schools. Dr. and Mrs. Knapman will leavefrom New York on a German freighter on August 25 and will spend three weeks in Germany andFrance betore beginning work in London. After leaving London in Spring 1962, the Knapmans plan toreturn to the Continent to spend several months exploring cities, villages and beaches beforereturning to Western Washington State College for Fall 1962 classes. According to Allport, theexistentialist wants to "know the worst and Will study chemistry at London University make the bestof it." They are generally agreed that man's nature cannot be discovered through science alone, thatall knowledge must be faced, and that .man's restlessness is a starting point for consideration. All-portsaid that existentialists maintain that, the only thing keeping 'mankind from committing suicide is asense of responsibility. According to Allport, Hindu psychology seems to be bigger and better thanany one school of American psychology. Hindi psychology says that man is ruled by four basic drives:pleasure, success, duty, and iiberation from the other three. Allport called psychology the science ofthe 20th Century, and said that any science which is new cannot be wholly true. In closing All-portsaid, "We have a duty to study the traditional works on the nature of man, and we must considerpersonality a very open system. At the close of his lecture Dr. All-port responded to questions fromthe audience. DR. NEAL MILLER Last Visiting Psychologist Dr. Neal Elgar Miller, the last of the threedistinguished psychologists to be brought to Western's campus, will present lectures on thepsychology of learning. Dr. Miller, the son of Dr. Irving E. Miller, former chairman of the Departmentof Education at Western, is a professor of psychology at Yale University, where he received his Page 2WESTERN WASHINGTON COLLEGIAN July 21, 1961 ---------- Western Washington Collegian - 1961 July 21 - Page 3 ---------- Ph.D. degree in 1935. He was elected president of the American Psychological Association, and holds memberships in various professional organizations. He has served as advisory and consultant tothe Secretary of Defense, the Air Force, and the Army. The visiting lecturer has published many articles on experimental psychology in professional journals, monographs, and books. He has receivedvarious psychological and scientific awards. July 31, Dr. Miller will present a lecture entitled "Fear andCourage" at 8:15 p.m. in the College Auditorium. "Experimental Studies of Conflict, Behavior, andDrugs," will be featured Tuesday morning at 10:00 in the auditorium. In an afternoon session, Dr. Millerwill discuss "Experimental Studies of Hunger and Thirst." This discussion wlil be held in the VikingUnion at 4:00. LAKEWOOD Unknown to Many An ideal spot for enjoying these sun-filled days isLakewood. It is surprising that so many students are not aware of this college property which is available for their use. The Lakewood area is located only seven miles from the College on the south shore ofLake Whatcom. There is a direction sign on Lakeway Drive. Acquired in 1922 from the will of an insanegentleman, Lakewood covers eight acres of woods, except for approximately 1500 feet of clearing near the waterfront. This clearing has a cabin, which may be used for club meeting or private parties, a bathhouse, two rowboats, a canoe, several picnic tables and fireplaces. Another caibin is back in the treesnear the clearing. Many improvements have been and are being made this year on the facilities. Threenew fireplaces and five new picnic tables were built last spring, and there are tentative plans to rebuildthe bath and boat houses, as well as repaint the dock. A field has been cleared and a badminton court is available. Since Lakewood is owned by the College, persons utilizing these facilities must abide by College policy â€” meaning no iquor. Any Western student is free to use July 21, 1961 the Lakewoodarea at any time. Although it is preferred that you check with ASB Summer Chairman, Gordy Mill.Keys for the cabin may be obtained from Gordy in Room 205 of the V.U. Building. CHAMBER MUSICCONCERT Presented in V.U.

LEGISLATURE ASB Relations Considered Several organizational problemswere considered at the last meeting of the Summer Board of Control, July 17, at 4 p.m. The budget forsummer 1962 will 'be considered at the next meeting. It was recommended that Facilities be included inthe summer budget. The social committee reported that there was good attendance at the last mixer,and that they would try to have another one later this summer. The general consensus of opinion ofthe board is that there should be a closer connection between regular ASB and Summer ASB. Also, thegroup finds that the lag of two weeks between spring and summer quarters is not beneficial and are trying to work out a new scheme for selecting the chairman of summer legislature. Gordy Mill, present boardchairman, said, "I am looking forward to improving the relation of summer B.O.C. and regular yearstudent government. I have confidence in this summer's board to take the steps necessary for thisimprovement." Mill also stated that all students are invited to attend B.O.C. meetings, and participate indiscussions.

XXIX—NO. 10 WASHINGTON S T A T E NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON ROBOTS TO RULE AUGUST 14-15 Friday, August 9; 1929 COLUMNIST HAS SOMETHING ON TODAY'S JOURNALISM THEN, YE DIARY ByG. W. L. And while, the fair editor awaits a Ions: distance call from the Paget Sound biological station., her., best columnist once more fluently trips over the typewriter keys ('ere the curfew knells the toll of another class)—and so 'tis written that:— Going to class regularly,, preparing lessons conscientiously, turning in with the curfew and out with the cockcrow, parking in prescribed territory, is dull copy, because it is normal (Normal?). You have to be a nonconformist to get YOUR NAME in the general run of newspapers; maybe a student suicide or worse yet—a living one—claims a better space in your paper. I am not writing about recordings of Normal school or college publications, for they are innocent of the crime. /What is collegiate news for the representative press association cer- ] tainly is not news for the campus sheet. It is very different to make "good" school newspaper an interesting one. Why? Because the secret of the whole CONUNDRUM of what's what in the morals of college journals—is that "good" news, to be interesting enough to break into print must, in the bargain, be DRAMATIC, inspiring, or extraordinary. Good news is therefore scarce. The average student, as a matter . of fact, happens to be very COMMONPLACE. A professor whose name the writer remembers, settles our mind on that score when he writes: "There is not, and never-has been, room in the world for many EXTRAORDINARY personalities. The world must always be made up largely of average people who work under the di^ rection of the specially ENDOWED. If a thousand NAPOLEONS or a thousand Carrie Nations should appear in one generation, the WORLD might become a rather disagreeable place. The present attainments of civilization would not have been possible without co-operation, recognition* of SUPERIOR ability or fitness, and .delegation of authority." But there can be another view that the majority of studes are supers and it is only the super-super who draws a headline. Yes, it is true that the commercial newspaper is a pretty clear mirror of public activity; and conversely it can be said that the campus paper is not a very good REFLECTOR of instittuional life. It can't be and live. The masses of people always dictate the kind of stuff that is found in the average journal—but it is the best in the instittuion who say what is to go in . the college weekly. Fortunately, college journalists are trained morally as to what constitutes good news,;so they contribute a 'sense for good news' to their readers while on the campus. But when the college writer leaves for his new post out in the world very little of this 'sense' falls forward— due of course to his bending to a pattern of COMMERCIAL JUORNALISM, and other kinds of journalism. IS GOAt OF LAST TRIP Trip Takes Hikers Through Wild and Rocky Country and Promises . Variety in Scenery and Thrills. MAY SEE WILD ANIMALS Will Climb Ruth Mountain Sunday Morning, Where Fine View of Mt. Shuksan May Be Seen. Hannegan Pass is the goal that has been set by about thirty-one students who will leave the campus this afternoon about 4 o'clock. Their first camping place will be the forestry camp six miles from Mt. Shuksan, and on Saturday between 10 o'clock and noon they will reach the pass. Very little snow will be encountered on this trip but vast stretches of wild and rough mountainous country will be seen. Encounter Wild Animals Of unusual interest will be the wild animals. There are ,a great number of wild goats and the hikers may have the thrill of seeing their first wild bear. It is said that no one who goes to fish in the Chilli-wack river ever comes back without fish. There is also a possibility of seeing deer. The thousands of acres of wild flowers which are now in bloom will prove a fascinating and beautiful study. Ruth Mountain Next On Sunday morning they will climb Ruth Mountain, which is steep and rocky. Upon reaching the summit, a remarkable view may be had of the north side of Mt. Shuksan. There will also be an opportunity of sliding in the heather. One can obtain some remarkable photographs of this mountain because of its roughness. Home Sunday Evening After an unusual scenic trip through acres of wild flowers, in view of thousands of acres of untouched timber, through avalanche districts, through the haunts of bears and other wild animals, and by glacial torrents and .myriads of" water falls, the hikers will return to the forestry camp. They are expected to arrive at the campus late Sunday evening. This trip ends the hikes planned in the summer recreational program.

Miss Dow has won many, favorable comments in her former recitals here." Students feel a rather personal interest in her, due to the fact that she is a student of Madame Davenport Engberg, who was closely connected with the musical activities of this school when she resided in Bellingham. The gifted young violinist will be remembered by many as a very talented artist.. Chorus Will Sing The Normal School Chorus, directed by Miss Grace Moore, will present a program on Friday which is the culmination of the quarter's work. The fifty members who have worked faithfully and enthusiastic cally, have planned a well rounded concert. Katherin^ Myers Hess will be the soloist and in'addition will sing several obligato parts. Piano selections by Jean Philippi add variety to the program. The accompanist for the Chorus will be Miss Edith Strange, who is a piano instructor for the school. . Carrianna Tucker and Barney Chichester, who as Helen Glory and Domin, play the leads in the Drama club play "R. U. R.", to be given August 14 and 15, are appearing before a Normal audience in lead roles for the second time. Miss Tucker had the woman's lead in "The Poor Nut", a comedy of modern youth presented by the Drama club in February, 1928. During her attendance at Whatcom High school, Miss Tucker was also interested in dramatics and played parts in both the junior and senior plays, the lead in the latter. Mr. Chichester played the male lead in the spring quarter play. "Icebound" and had parts in "Sunup", and "Seven Keys to Baldpate", the two other plays of the past year. "Three Live Ghosts", "Craig's Wife", and "The Poor Nut", all Drama club plays, also have Mr. .Chichester's name on their cast. And two years ago he appeared in a production of the Bellingham Players Company, "Bill of Divorcement". In a criticism of the play, "R. U. R.", in which these two students have the leads, Heywood Broun writes in the New York World, "The play begins as an extraordinary searching study of the nature of human life and human society . . . Capek is potentially one of the great men in the modern drama. He has devised a scene at the end of the third act as awe-inspiring as anything we have ever seen in the theater". POLLY DEE LEARNARD AWAY ON VACATION Miss Polly Dee Learnard, Secretary to President C. H. Fisher, is away on a month's vacation. Miss Learnard, with her mother and sister who drove up from Gil-roy, California, left on a boat from Seattle on July 30, for a twelve-day trip to Alaska. They will probably go as far north as Skagway. Upon returning to Seattle, Miss Leanard will return to her home at Gilroy, with her mother and sister. After a two weeks' visit there and in San Francisco, Miss Learnard plans to fly back in an airplane from San Francisco to Seattle. She will probably resume her duties here the day after Labor Day. PLAY WILL FEATURE FUTURISTIC DESIGN Designs in Keeping with Unusual Theme and Odd Setting of Play. Original Design by D. Edmunson. As-a final step in completing the stage effects for "R. U. R." the Drama club play, the Play Production class has been painting the panels which are to be used.. The colorful modernistic design will be the one note, of color to be used in the scenic effects. " As the play is very unusual in theme, the background must be in keeping with" it. The class has succeded well in working out the original design submitted by Dean Edmundson, so that it will be the proper setting for the mysterious "Robots". Posters Made Posters for advertising the play were undertaken as individual problems by members of this class, each one carrying out his conception of what the poster should portray. Placing the posters 'in business houses, where they are most apt to catch the public eye, has been the work of a group headed by Bertha Altose. ...'••'• The Play Production class, by its painstaking and whole-hearted support, will contribute to the success of "R. U. R." .V.' Plans for Dance To Be Announced In Coming Viking Former Instructor Here Receives Appointment Word has been received here by friends of Mr. Otto G. McDonaugh, a former faculty member of the Bellingham Normal, that he received an appointment as high school teacher in the Los Angeles city schools immediately upon his arrival there on June 23. Mr. McDonaugh was mathematics instructor at the Normal the past three quarters, during the absence of Mr. E. A. Bond. He is now attending the summer session of the University of Southern California, and will begin his work . in Los Angeles in September. Mr. McDonaugh sends his greet ings to his friends among the fac ulty members and students of the Bellingham Normal. o FISHER TO REPRESENT Y. M. C. A.

Edison, the great Northwest and particularly the State of Washington has again been signally honored. And it is only natural that this recognition should be especially felt and appreciated by those nearest his age, the great army of school children, not only in this section bjut throughout the United States. When viewing the achievements of mature minds the great majority of us are apt to feel at times that our small efforts of young ideas are hopelessly crude and immaterial. To know that such great men as Edison, Ford, Lindbergh and many others are genuinely interested in every one of us, giving of their priceless time to one of our number, is or should be the highest type of inspiration. Incidentally, we applaud the modesty of Wilbur Huston who says his good sense tells him jhat he can never hope to be as great as Edison. No, there will never be another Edison. -, .—-—o- JUST IMAGINE! My gorsh, folks! Did you ever hear the beat! Imagine it! I know its' hard, but just IMAGINE being able to see one of the most popular modern plays at such prices. Or didn't you notice the prices— only a scant thirty-five cents for reserved seats—thirty-five cents. Even a greater shock was hearing that unreserved seats are only twenty-five cents. Of course reserved seats for outsiders are fifty cents, but even that's cheap. That means my whole family can go. I've heard about how excellent the cast is and everyone knows that the leads are true "professional amateur" players—and the whole cast is of our own Normal folks.

The University of Washington is sending several teams here, this afternoon for the main purpose of going home again—undefeated. We doubt the fact very much. Washington may go home with high honors in some of the various sports but not in all of them. Our baseball, handball, horseshoe and tennis teams are equally as strong as those of the U. of W., and it won't be a "walk-away" for the University by any means, and—when two teams are evenly matched, doesn't that mean a real, fighting, tight game?..

Those who hasten to join the band of sophisticated criticisers of college and college life, forget that most of the great men of today are college products. Anyway, what if we aren't all great! Let's give our colleges credit that they are trying to live up to their standards of education. If there is any good material in a manor woman, college will bring it out. They can't deny that college is producing men and women with a cultural background, wide civic interests and an ability to handle business. College rounds off the rough edges. Each individual has a competitor for bettering himself in every other individual. In this manner he develops initiative, self-confidence and poise. There is nothing wrong with the colleges; it's the people behind them who lack confidence. They are too ready to believe the worst, too ready to accept the 'lime light' stories of the minority. They stop seeking the proof before they learn the real facts of college life. They don't find the proof of the majority, who are making a serious and constructive effort to better themselves and meet the needs of the present generation. The colleges of today are still experimenting, but when did we ever produce anything worth-while without experimenting, and after it was produced, what thing hasn't needed further experimenting to continually better it. No one, denies that there is a class of students who go to college to "romp" through. Yet no matter where you go—even just in life you find the individual who is trying to get something for nothing. These poor fellows in college just haven't found the purpose of a college education, and the professors couldn't make them absorb education even with the help of a funnel. But—don't forget—that every year the college finds it is able to dispense with a certain number of students, and the greatest number of them am of this type. Don't worry about your taxes being wasted on unappreciative students; the colleges have a good eliminating system. Almost too good in fact. Sometimes a"worker" gets temporarily caught in the web with the "stragglers," but he'll fight and make a comeback. The. students, rather than the reform measures, will make the college. The college lives in the ideals of the student, and if the students are living up to their ideals, the college is'going ahead as far as can be expected. Let's learn the true facts about bur colleges and college life.' Let's give college a break!:;•'/ ',:•:.I--] -^r- : lt;:'^-;:\^^::;;:-.^^;-r;;,.-;:';":1v'^: .--.

Barks We are tired of trying to be cynical, tired of thinking, tired of trying to find something to say that no one else has ever said before. Thoughts are never new but its just our way of putting them that may be novel. We remember of saying once before "The truly priceless thing is the heart that remains changeless forever." (Will you pardon repetition?) But there never has been and never will be that "truly priceless thing." Do you ask the maple tree if it will stand a lusty green through sun and storm? , Do you ask-the lily if its petals of wax will withstand the winter's blast? Yet we expect the heart, the most illusive part of the whole anatomy to weather the storm of Life and remain unchanged through it all. It was an amethist set in silver wasn't it?..

We simply have to beat that University city slicker bunch. For them to defeat, or even to closely compete with us would just simply be terrible. Remember how much "big-talk" we have been spreading since several weeks ago, down there. And don't forget that a true Viking, being of the human element, is better than any canine living. r Down with the Huskies! * * * * Productions on Broadway, last year, were more or less of a sad flop. The famous old street, all lit up as per usual, was invaded with the "talking movies" and other types of entertainments that detract' ed from the box sale of the good old fashioned musical comedies, and plays... Then, also, a large percentage of the envied idle rich went to Florida, or other places of apt climatic conditions. The "Battle of the Bums" between young Stribling and Sharkey drew a lot of New York's theater-going crowd down to Florida for a month or so in. the heart of the season. Football games, ice-hockey matches, indoor tennis tournaments; all, had a lot to dp with the unsuccessful Broadway of last year. In all probability, this year, Broadway will be another flop. Producers are already beginning to migrate to Hollywood. In the course of a very few years Broadway will have a large black border around its shining, glittering name. The name that in the past has filled so many country girls with the spirit of unrest. The name that is associated with wild parties and bootleg liquor. Possibly the "black border" will be a crowning achievement in American Social life. Will it be? Is Broadway so Bad? What is your idea of the subject? Viking Teams Play Ul of W.

They would find a more fitting environment in the questionable Normalette"; the coi-umn that reposes" so hautily and disdainfully on the front page. Just turn this sheet over, and you will see it, if you have never noticed it before. No, it is not an advertisement! Speaking of columns of good and bad nature, "Bottled By Bond" has a REAL competitor. The "Daily Bulletin", written by our friend, Elwood C. Davis, is often times quite invigorating—especially when it makes a dirty crack about Miller. Its viewpoint on current news about the school, and its peculiar types of philosophy are usually intellectually beneficial. * * * . • * But back to sports, where this column should dwell, even though the writer is philosophically inclined. By the way, have you ever studied Greek Mythology? If you ever get the time, you will soon discover that they were great athletes, and great philosophers. Maybe there is a correlation, who knows? * * * * Suzanne Waters, slashing driving net star of last six weeks, drew nearly the cellar position on the Women s ladder tennis tourney. Really now, wouldn't it have been better if the winners of last six weeks had been allotted the upper positions? Suzanne now has to force her way to the top by playing mediocre tennis players. * * * * ....The drama club play, "R. U. R." drew a good many fellows out of intra-mural activities, much to the regret of the rest; however, they were taken out for a good cause. Let's support their efforts on Wednesday and Thursday of next week. The play is a dandy and it affords quite a good deal of excitement and enjoyment to the audience. * * * * Ask Davis what this New York does to a fellow. * .* * * When a fellow is drawn between the devil and the deep sea, what is he to do? Usually the fellow takes the path that affords the most resistance for fear of the other path. Now, the author of this column doesen't dare be in the vicinity of the institution on the day of the editing of this paper. .Draw, your own conclusions.- Waldo field will be the scene of a baseball game between a hard hitting University ' of Washington nine led by "Tubby" Graves and an equally responsible Viking nine this afternoon at 4 p. m. The Huskies have also brought up tennis, handball, and horseshoe squads to compete against the highest representatives of those sports in our intramural activities. "Tubby" Graves May Catch Last year, and the year before "Tubby" has caught for the University nine, and it looks as if he will do the same this year. The way he razzes the batters, and his opponents in general is a revelation to all spectators, and he seems to get away with it, too. *.,- J Who will represent this I school against the University? I As this paper was printed be-s fore Earle Jewell had. made a I selection of the players, such I material had to be left out. j Here's our idea of what the | line-up should be: G. Bond, | catcher; Moe, pitcher; E. C. f Davis or Gaither, first base; I Chandler, 2nd base; Perry, | short stop; Church, 3rd base; I E. Jewell, left field (sub. pitch- | er); Bob Fisher, center field; I and Miller, right field. - { In tennis, Gordon Broadbent, j first man; Elden Bond, second | man; Cliff Duncan, third man. f If the U. of W. brings up a ! strong tennis team, the second j two players should not be ' played, with Earle. Jewell and I Hamilton Church taking their I places. j Van Etten and McCartin are j the logical two to participate j in horseshoe, and Owen and j Radcliff should uphold the f school's honors in handball. New Tennis Courts Are Scene of Main Tennis Matches. Weather Is an Encouraging Factor. Awl for me, Tensity!--'./;';. and beat the Uni- H. M. Foster, Physical Education Head at the U, will in all probability, sit on the side lines and "chew the fat"* with Elwood C. Davis, Viking leader. They are good friends, and are interested in the same general type of work. Davis may, however, play first base on the Viking team. He has had plenty of practice as a first sacker, and he is a fair hitter. ' Line-Up Undecided Earle Jewell has not as yet made a final decision as to who shall play, but it will be a picked team from the three intra-mural teams. We are compartively weak in the chucking line, as none of the men pretend to know how to pitch. Moe, Jewell, Axelson, and Chandler all know how to throw some hooks on the ball, but their control is not too good, or else they haven't enough steam on the ball. As yet, nobody knows just exactly who the University will bring up. A good or a bad team may be expected. They may bring up some slicker tennis players, and they may not. It is all a question that has a good many of us guessing, and guessing plenty. Foster Experienced Foster, the coach down at Seattle, has had plenty of experience, in sports. He ran second only to Paddock, in the Pacific Conference for three years, being an Oregon man, and also played. Coast League ball with Portland. If he decides to lace up the old cleats, a Viking victory will just diminish ten points. H. M. Foster has also done three years graduate work at Columbia University in Physical Education. Due to rallies in the sixth and seventh innings, the Viking baseball squad lost last year, and they are therefore out for revenge.. Another such a victory for the Huskies would be detrimental to the morale of the" fellows. - o— EDENS HALL Edens Hall girls spending last week-end out of town included: Margaret LeMaster, Shelton; Eleanor Olson, Seattle; Charlotte Mc- Naughton, Tacoma; Leona Smith, Marys ville; Ruth Herman, Friday Harbor; Marion Dickey, Everett;* Melba DeWitt, Hazel Curry, and Ruth Braun, to Sedro-Woolley; Mabel Richardson and Edna Watkins, to Lyman; Florence Hopkins, Seattle; Lillian Spoon, Seattle; Edythe Taube, Seattle; Mina James and Lucille Bowers, Port Angeles; Gertrude Reese, Seattle; Marcelle Cormier, Olympia; Helen Bloomquist; Paulsbo; Jane Kenney, Bothel; Helen Helland and Gudrun Anderson, Everett; Ellen Chapman, Tacoma; Edna Munspn, jflEverett; Phyllis Williams, East Sound; Aillen .Wolfe,' Lynden, and Opal Marlemee, Seat • 1 " " ^ i t « — gt; « — a n — » » — m —m i n — « i — a n — - n*r Moe's Mongrels Lose Two Games To Miller's Nine Miller's hard hitting baseball nine last week slugged their way up from cellar position to first place in the Intra-Mural Baseball league, by defeating Moe's Mongrels in two contests, 7 to 3, on Thursday, and 8 to 6 on Tuesday of this week. Moe's team on both occasions was crippled by lack of players, and Miller had all of his men out. First Game Decisive At no time during the,first game was Miller's team pressed.. They gained an early lead which they seemed to be able to hold throughout the entire, contest, the game ending after' the first half of the fifth inning. Second Game Close Tuesday night's game was a good deal closer than the game just previous, with Miller's outfit being pressed all the time. At one time it looked like a sure victory for Moe when Church lined out a clean home run with two on base. The next inning saw Miller's nine again gain the lead however, and the danger was averted. The next time up at bats, Church lined out a clean three-bagger, but he 'died on the bag as Perry flied out to short Church also made some spectacular catches for the Mongrels. —. o FILLERS The big city weekly once offered a prize of $50 for the best argument in compact form that would solve the "better pay for teachers" problem. An editor of a country weekly submitted this bit of pathos: "What shape, madam, was the pocketbook you lost?" "Flat. I'm a teacher." — o—.. The Misses Ethel Boynton, Mildred Kent and Gladys Smith, spent an enjoyable week-end with friends in McCleary. o Miss Grace Moore, of the music department visited friends in Snohomish over the past week-end. With all the main matches in men's tennis now being played off at the new tennis courts, and with the "head man" again in top place on the ladder, things are beginning to liven up in the net world "on the courts above the sea". The weather is especially an encouraging factor before and after the mid-day heat. And Mr. Broad-bent has regained the throne, beating a Mr. Jewell badly, 6-2, 6-2, in fact. Scores for the week indicate a general renaissance, or to be more explicit, the good players have just found themselves (—as good players, of course). The Normal's eleven stand in the face of competition thus: Broadbent Jewell Church Bond Duncan Prendergast G. Bond Owen Thompson Ludwig Leen Out of the whole group come these scores: Gudmundson-Axelson, 6-2, 3-6, 7-5; Axelson-French, 6-2, 1-6, 6-3; Broadbent-Jewell, 6-2, 6-2; Gudmundson-Hale, 6-2, 7-5; Jackson- Ballard, 6-3, 2-6, 7-5; Bond- Duncan, 6-3, 6-4; Hale-Jackson, 6-1, 2-6, 6-3. Latest Challenges What'll happen during the coming week!? Some of the underdogs have stood enough, and seeing only about a week's time left are going to smash through the barriers of 'mere precedence' as wittingly established by their superiors during an earlier time in the game. Out of the list,' the latest .are: Jackson-Hale, Axelson-Leen, Leen- Thompson, and Church-Broadbent. A Beauty Spot on ---------- Northwest Viking - 1929 August 9 - Page 4 ---------- WASHiNCHXaNff LECTURE IS GIVEN ON VALUE OF BOOKS Dr. Emanuel Sternheim Discusses Educational Value of Literature and Philosophy of John Dewey. Story Stencils Are Available Now, Says Miss Cecile Evans DISTRIBUTES BOOK LISTS Dr. Emanuel Sternheim, who is a member of the faculty of the University of Minnesota, but primarily a lecturer, spoke in two assemblies last Tuesday. He is a highly educated man, having graduated from the three best known universities of western Europe. Dr. Sternheim spoke with a delightful British or Oxford accent. His first discussion on the Educational value of Literature, showed that books are of far more value than magazines. In a list of a hundred books, published elsewhere in today's Viking and also distributed at this morning's assembly, he pointed out the value of cognate books instead of trashy literature. He said that cognate books would not tend to create that false superior type of class society that we have in Boston, the South, or in this nation as a whole. In this afternoon discussion he spoke on John Dewey's Philosophy. He centered around the point of personal responsibility, declaring that responsibility thrust upon a child before adolescence was the only real way to prepare him for maturity. Scoffs at Edison Tests In this regard he said that the recent Edison tests determining the brightest boy in America, were as foolish as the previous tests, saying that these tests did not give any check on the responsibility of the person involved. He commended any • organization that developed the creative urge in a child. A well supervised vocational guidance group in the Junior High School program is a desirable goal, says Dr. Sternheim.. • __o POSITIONS RECEIVED THROUGH BUREAU According to Miss Cecile Evans, children's librarian, and instructor of Children's Literature, there are a few available copies left of the stencil on short stories for the primary grades. These stories were composed by the students in the English 18 class last winter quarter, and are characteristic of stories for different occasions. The stencil is divided into three parts, containing stories for all holidays, from Hallowe'en to Independence day. The stories are ones which are of interest to children, and are favorites. As there are but a few copies left, it would be advisable that anyone desiring a copy go to the Children's Library as soon as possible. o MISS KEELER CONFINED BY SEVERE ILLNESS DR. STERNHEIM SUGGESTS BOOK LIST FOR TEACHERS Miss Delia L. Keeler of the Education department was confined to her home with a severe cold and fever Tuesday afternoon and all day Wednesday. Her classes were carried on by chairmen elected from members of the classes. s o SPEAKER DISCUSSES EUROPEAN SITUATION Mr. C. W. Clark Stresses Value of Student Interest in World Problems. Addresses Classes. Although it is rather close to the beginning of a new school year, a relatively good number of positions are being filled, according to Miss Hopper. This is due to the fact that very often there are last minute vacancies in schools. Since July 18 the following have reported to the appointment bureau as having schools. Edith Nay, Toutle, first to fourth grades, music in the upper grades and high school; Elna Virta, Robe, rural; Marie Keppler, Kettle Falls, rural; Mae Blomberg, Laurel school, primary; Maxine Ebert, Toppenish, first grade; Erma Burgen, Golden-dale, fourth grade; Grayce Lytle, Brewster, rural. There is one position which as yet has not been filled, and which might be of interest to one who can fill the requirements, which are a little unusual. Any student, having four children, who would be interested, should go to the appointment bureau for further information. : o Johnson Writes of Interesting Places Miss Florence Johnson, biology teacher and social director of the girl's dormitory, who is touring France, England, Spain and Sweden, expects to return to school about September 25. When Miss Johnson, who is a favorite with the girls, left on her tour, the girls sent a Round Robin letter to meet her in England. Since receiving the letter Miss Johnson has sent various cards to those people who asked her questions in the letter. The cards have been witty snatches of foreign life and sights. When Miss Johnson returns she will act as housemother at Edens hall, which position Miss Ullin is filling now. o EDWARDS HALL Those who were away for the week-end of August 3 and 4, were: Florence Filion, Billie Howe, I na Otey, Marvel Hall, Frances Hoare, Margaret Sandilands, Jean Truman. Billie Howe entertained a guest on Saturday and Sunday, July 27 and 28. Mr. C. W. Clark lectured in Friday's assembly on the "Current European Situation", and gave the audience some interesting pictures of present-day European life. Mr. Clark has been an instructor at Yale University and is a member of the American Academy in Rome. At present, he is serving the Smithsonian Institution at Washington, D. C. In his address, he commended the freedom of discussion in American colleges, emphasizing the value of student interest in world problems. Mr. Clark has spent many years abroad and he realizes the great benefit in a trip to Europe for young men and women. He has formed many acquaintances in Italy and other countries, of which he is very proud. Observant in Travels During his travels, he has observed many differences between the old world and the new. Fear, he stated, is a vital factor in European education. Due to the crowd- The following is the list of one hundred books that Dr. Sternheim based his discussion on in Tuesday's assembly. The list is divided into specialized groups for topic convenience. The library contains many books by t h e same author that are on the list.
