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. Of the former, the group read several of the-more famous, including "The ---------- Northwest Viking - 1933 February 10 - Page 2 ---------- WASHIN lt;^N^ —The-lorthwestViking POUNDED 1899 Published every Friday except during the month of September by the Associated Students, Washington State Normal School, : Bellingham.

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.

SILL IS HIGH POINT GETTER VikingTs in Final Showing Before Local Normal Fans I n their last home game of the season, the Viking basketball team ras no match for a swift-passing, sure-shooting Ellensburg quintet and were defeated 42 to 29. The contest was played last Wednesday on the Whatcom floor. Wildcat Defense Good The Wildcats presented a close-checking defense and a puzzling offense which worked with perfect smoothness. The eastern hoopmen featured the'game with sensational floor shots coupled with their center system of "feeding" to the scorers under the basket. Ellensburg Takes Lead Ellensburg jumped into a quick lead and ran the score up to 12-2. 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.

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.

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!

Benham, University of Washington, sanctions the use of slang- "when not allowed to become trite". Among' his list of "accepteds" are screwy, dope, hooey, oh yeah, nut, grouch, frail, nerts, holy smoke, bamboozle, and jumping jupiter. Slang, provided that it is used moderately enough, can often lend much force to one's statement and complete abstinence is not necessarily any great credit. However, we cannot say that this list is of the best. The cheapening quality of slang lies in those words that one hears so pitifully overdone and slaughtered every day in common talk, shows, radio, and so on. With the first scratch of the copy pencil the writer would eliminate screwy, hooey, oh yeah, frail, and nerts. -W.S.N.S.- Wlth Sam InsulUs passport voided, we have another "Man Without a Country". W.S.N.S. A truly commendable thing is the Training School pupils' donation to the Bellingham Milk fund. Co-operation like that is worthwhile; a worthy end of thta nature doubles its value. W.S.N.S. The advisibility of budget retrenchment at Olympia is necessary and to be expected. There is nothing else to do at the present time. To pare all departments alike is not so good and may not be done. It will help balance the budget, but hand in hand with thta we need more money to be budgeted. To get that we most certainly need new sources of revenue, which can only be derived by whole-hearted co-operation among the law makers. Land taxation is obsolete. We, as future school teachers, have seen that for some time, and so have past legislators, but they have all been unable to adjust themselves to seeing their section of the' state "pay-up" as well as the rest of the sections. "Oh, yes. A. new form of revenue is a fine thing and badly needed but YOU pay it because our people back home won't stand for our getting them into anything like t h a t/ I t is time to stop this play. Schools need money. At the present time Showalter tells us that over five hundred schools will not be able to operate more than five or six months next year. Our wager is that this will be even higher before January, 1934, rolls around. Cut the Normal schools, they say. With the grade schools under slow bell, we do not need all these teachers. Our reply is this: Who suffers? It is tough on those with diplomas laid away in moth balls, but think of those youngsters missing out. Let the legislators get us a "painless" tax by a willingness to let each section pay its share. There have been a number of good ways before previous legislatures that can be still used if new ones are not forthcoming. • Create this need for the teachers by doing justice to these younger people in giving them their entitled education and keep the Higher Institutions open to fill these places. -W.S.N.S. •— Babe Ruth is on his perennial salary strike. COLUMBIA PRESIDENT Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler States Conditions Caused by Lower School DEFENDS COLLEGES Development of Techniques of Production; Exchange Is Emphasized "Why is it that democracies are not more intelligent, more competent, more abundant in understanding, and more high-minded?" asks Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia university, in his annual report for 1932. The critics often blame the universities for failing to bring about a more desirable condition in world affairs. The chaotic conditions of the present reflect back, not on the university but on the elementary and secondary school, maintains Dr. Butler. To quote further from this report —"Ideas travel quickly enough in the upper and rarefied air of scholarship and highly trained minds, but they move with the sluggish slowness of a glacier over and among the great masses of population whose habits and whose prejudices are deeply ingrained and whose outlook on life -is limited by the walls of their own gardens." Elementary Schools Dabble Elementary and secondary schools will have to stop dabbling with "anti- philosophies and pseudo-psychologies" if the level of democracy's intelligence and capacity is to be raised. Left to the universities this process of advancement will take ages; if the primary and secondary schools function as they should a revolution may be attained in a generation. The report deals at.length with the present economic "blockade"—a new word for depression. A great deal of the present trouble may be explained by the semi-independent growth of two essential parts of our economic mechanism, the technique of production and the technique of exchange. This rampant uncorre-lated growth makes it impossible for these essentials to function harmoniously. This problem is not new, not a development of the last de- (Continued on Page Two) WIIK. SOPRANO.

"• "';' BUSINESS OFFICE CHANGES SYSTEM Grades to be Sent to Students of Twenty-one or Less Beginning this quarter the business office presents, a new system of issuing grades. Students under the age of 21 will have grades mailed to their homes as before while those 21 years of age and" over will apply at the Business Office the first week of each following quarter. Registration is simplified by keeping all grades earned previously to date on a grade card. Summer quar ter grades will be mailed to all students. Students returning in the fall must bring their grade cards with them for registration. A small charge will be made if a student loses his grade card or fails to return it at registration. o Principals Meet Dr. Upshall Discusses the Stanford Achievement Tests Yesterday evening in the Bellingham hotel, Dr. C. C. Upshall, of the Research bureau, addressed a group of Bellingham school principals on the results of certain achievement tests that have been given to first and third grade children in the city schools. Dr. Upshall discussed the Stanford achievement test, which the third grade pupils took in October of this year, and the Kuhlman-An-derson test, which was taken at the same time by the children in the first grade. He also, took up the results of a first grade reading test given last May. : 0 LECTURER HERE Chamberlain to Discuss Experiences in Soviet Russia Next Friday's assembly will feature a lecture by William Henry Chamberlain, author, lecturer, and traveler who has just returned from Russia by way of London, where he has been for the past ten years. Mr. Chamberlain was given a cordial reception by a large audience when he addressed the Royal Institute of International Relations in London recently. At the close of his address his hearers crowded about the platform and plied him with questions about Russia for a full hour. Mr. Chamberlain began work on the Philadelphia Ledger immediately after he was graduated from Haver-ford college in 1917, and has been actively interested in journalism ever since. He spent a number of years in Russia as correspondent for the Christian Science Monitor. o BAREFOOT SCHOOLBOY MEASURE IS DISCUSSED Artist to Appear "Musical Journeys" Presented by Maier in Concert. Provisions of the new "Barefoot School Boy" bill were presented at the faculty forum meeting by President C. H. Fisher, Tuesday afternoon, January 17. The purpose of this bill is to make for greater statewide equalization of common school support. It is designed to provide revenue lost by the passage of the 40-mill tax levy limit initiative. The bill was introduced in the senate yesterday. School Term Is 180 Days Under the provision of this act the maximum school term will be 180 days; The state will provide 25 cents per pupil per day's attendance in the elementary schools. Junior high schools will receive 35 cents per pupil. Each school district will be guaranteed a minimum support of $(325 per term from the state. County commissioners will be required to raise' 10 cents per day for each pupil in attendance during the preceding Normal students and interested townspeople will be taken on a "Musical Journey" Jan. 26, by Guy Maier, who appears in concert at this time in the Normal auditorium. The recital, which starts at 8:15, is sponsored by the Normal school and the Women's Music club. With the aid of slides, Mr. Maier takes his audience on journeys through countries connected with the lives of Schubert, Brahms, Jo-hann Strauss, Chopin, Grieg, and Bach. Maier himself motored, bicycled and walked through the native lands of these composers and, with the aid of a photographer, obtained these pictures. Is a New Yorker Born in Buffalo, New York, Mr. Maier first studied at the New England Conservatory of Music from which he went to Berlin to study. He has appeared in joint concerts with Lee Pattison as well as in individual programs. He began giving concerts for children and met with such great success that he is now increasing his work in this field although concentrating around the "Musical Journeys" idea. o "Beggar on Horseback" Is Satire of Dream Illusion "Beggar on Horseback", chosen by Victor H. Hoppe, to be presented by the Drama club on March 2 and 3, is something new and different in stage entertainment—it is a dream play and may be classed as a descendant of "Alice in Wonderland". The play, a hilarious farce, is a supreme contrast to the quiet and melancholy tone of 'Alison's House" which was presented both summer (Continued on Page Three) (Continued on Page Two) o THESPIANS GIVE RADIO PROGRAM The Cremo program which was presented in this morning's assembly, was given by the Thespian club.

Butler on Education The annual report of Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler is a document of special interest to those of us here who are equipping ourselves to enter the teaching profession, for it is to Teacher's college, Columbia university, that our administration looks for advance announcements of educational trends in the United States. The statements of the head of the institution to which we look for such guidance are to be taken into consideration in our study as being utterances of the man who is the diamond point of the wedge of educational advancement. Dr. Butler, says, "It is the elementary and the secondary schools which touch immediately the lives and minds of the great masses of the World's population. For the future of democracy itself it is of vital importance that those sources of power, of discipline and of direction be kept pure and undefiled by false doctrine, heresy or schism." The head of such an institution as Columbia university must indeed be too broad a man to mean by "false doctrines" the fundamental aims of education, or by "heresy" honest doubt, or by "schism" unity in progressive movement. The condemnation in the above statement is of the conservative in education who ignores and refuses to support 'the well-established principle of educational change and progress. But we who are being educated to teach along the lines of current trends need not concern ourselves with the Validity of the reasoning in the liberal policies currently being announced. As we are educated, so shall we teach. That which we must consider is the antagonism and opposition likely to be shown us by the ultra-conserv-tive boards of education throughout the country in which we are to teach. We must equip ourselves to defend those principles of education which are being taught us here and now. We must prepare ourselves to justify every change we make in the school system with which we come in contact; and above all we must have the courage and the determination to carry on in our newer broader methods despite the opposition which may be shown To the Candidates Junior's Guardian Angel Fails Him at Tense Moment Julius, Dis-clothed as Salome, is a Mirth Provoker (Editor's note: A sad story as told by Julius Dornblut Jr's.; guardian angel.) It is usually a terrible bore to be a guardian angel and tiring work being a good one, especially to Julius, because he moves around so fast and so often and does so many different and difficult things. I took a vacation last week on Thursday when Julius Junior and I were at Miller and Sutherlen's print shop where the weekly Viking is printed. This was how it all happened. The Viking staff had their initiation and after all that I felt full of fun as did Julius. Well, I knew Julius was intending to change his trousers and so I decided to have him change from his cords into a pair of tweeds which he had with him in an adjoining room. This he began to do. The rest of the boys on the staff knew this and waited until my charge had about removed the cords and at this time rushed in on him about ten strong, I knew they would, and took both pair of Julius' posterior coverings just as he said, "What do you guys want in here?" The gang then rushed out into the main room where many females were. I was ashamed then, because I had forgotten those ferns. Anyway, did" those people laugh? I ask you and you say yes. The funniest thing happened then. Dornblut Junior instead of rushing out with embarassed actions in the undies, put his legs into the armholes of his vest and walks nonchalantly into the room, picks up his trousers and marches back into the adjoining room. His face was sort of red and I was sorry. I guess I'm not such a good guardian angel, but then, poof. o As a solution to the world-important rec-hour question discussed so fluently by the candidates for student offices, may we suggest that the whole thing be forgotten entirely, for good and all. Let's hear something about what they intend to do about letting the student body as a whole have something to say as to whether it enjoys the Musical Artists course as a whole ' and the assembly programs enough to justify the ex-pehditure laid forth on these entertainments.*"^;^ 1 1, ..... .-. lt;:; Einiijr Dow; Ave grant, Ayas beyond reproach, as was the Hall Johnson negro choir, which entertained us last quarter; but as for such superb entertainers as the inimitable Laddie Boy Grey and his two violins, or Marie Montana, lyric soprano avoirdupoise whose golden voice cracked off some of its gilt when she bewitched us into a stupor last year, we say, "Let's give that money to poor Bellingham families that might, perchance, be going hungry." And do the candidates feel that Governor Martin should consider his predecessor's suggestion that tv/o of the state Normal schools be closed? Have they made any effort to find which two it will be, or whether the state could stand such a loss? Is there anything the student body president might do about the question? Has the next student body president made a careful survey of the budget to inform himself if and how student fees may be cut? Have any of the candidates published a definite plan to stimulate club activities? Will any candidate consider cooperating with the Northwest Viking in founding a Students Advisory board to study the curriculum, ascertaining and making public the actual value to the students of each course offered? Have the candidates any substitute to go into effect during the spring term to take the place of inter- collegiate baseball? Has Mr. Carver or Mr. Gunn been consulted by them on the matter? Are all concerned satisfied with arrangements at Edens Hall? What new effort could be made to collect the money due the student loan fund? If the candidates for student office will answer each of these questions, the Northwest Viking will publish verbatim the answers of the successful candidates in next week's issue. *«ii On the A M P US Side of the EYHOLE Little Bert Gallanger has been sort of out of the limelight for some time and "'that's because he has to keep ahead of his 8th graders in mathematics.

' DR. NITOBE HONORED AT EDENS LUNCHEON Faculty Members and Citizens Are Also Club Guests A luncheon in honor of Dr. Inazo Nitobe was held in the Edens Hall club room Wednesday, January-18. The International Relations club sponsored the affair. Members of the faculty who have traveled in the Orient were invited to attend. Miss M. Belie Sperry, Miss Ruth Piatt, Edward Arntzen, Mr. and Mrs. Pelagius Williams, Miss Mary E. Rich, T. P. Hunt, Miss :Nora Cummins, and President and Mrs. C. H. Fisher represented the faculty. Other guests included Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Donovan, Mrs. Ralph kooken, Mrs. C. X. Larrabee, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Larrabee, and the Japanese consul from Seattle, Ku-yoshi Uchiyama. Dr. Nitobe spoke on the interest of Japan in Manchuria. He answered questions on various topics of current interest in regard to the political situation in Japan. Dr. JNitobe said that he doubted any possibility of colonization of Manchuria on the part of, Japan. o- STUDENTS GUESS AT POPULATIONS "What is the population of the State of Washington?" That question was asked of his intelligent class by one of our prominent instructors. Well, anyway, I thought they were intelligent until that question was asked. A little bright-eyed hopeful girl sitting in the front row quickly replied, "One-hundred thousand." Is it any wonder that so many professors take leave of absence from their work and go into hiding in some remote country to see for themselves just what kind of an animal the human race came from? Another student hoping to make good uttered, with a prayer on his lips, "Three million." That's not so bad, taking into consideration that he could have said ten millions just ' as well. Incidentally the population is one and a half millions. The younger generation has tossed that old saying into the discard: "Fifty million Frenchmen can't be wrong." A member of the class under discussion attributed to France a population of twenty-five million. A freshman, direct from Whatcom high claims there are thirty-five souls in Russia. Not to be outdone another young man piped up with "two-hundred millions." According to this bright class the population in Germany isn't very steady. One minute it was ninety millions. The next, it dropped (like the stock market), down to thirty-five millions. That is just one of the things that go to prove a class should cooperate a little more. And other very radical population guesses were eight to sixty million for Italy. If II Duce could have heard that! Poland brought estimates from five to thirty-five millions. England didn't do so badly, having backers ready to swear there were from twenty-five to one-hundred millions. o RELIEF WORK STUDIED WASHINGTON STATE N Q ^ ^ News From The Clubs Despite discouragement from the weather man, W.

Their second hike of the quarter, last Saturday, was to Toad Lake^ Tomorrow a hike to the top of King mountain is planned. Although this is, indeed a steep and slippery mountain veterans say the fun will recompense. All women of the Normal school are invited to go on W. A. A. hikes whether or not they are members of the club. On next Friday evening, January 27, the W. A. A. will sponsor a skating party at the State street skating rink. The party, which will revolve around a "Boy and Girl" idea will be given by the W. A. A. for their girl friends who do not belong to the association. Association members will dress as boys, while their guests are to come as the "girl friends". It is estimated that about 100 girls will attend.

W. C. A. to appear before the chapter again during the school year. These two young Seattle women spoke at the Thursday, Friday and Sunday* meetings of the Institute. Mrs. Gloster, who has a master's degree from Columbia university, centered her discussions about the place of mind, will and the affections in human regeneration Miss Clark, of Vancouver, B.

' ^ ; j . ^ : WASHIr^TONS^ BLUE AND WHITE TROUNCE YAKIMA COLLEGE QUINTET Glint and "Dutch" McBeath Star When Vikings Defeat Rivals 29-51 YAKIMA STARS BISHOP Featuring a highly improved passing offensive the local varsity quintet downed a rangy squad of Junior College lads from Yakima on the Whatcom court last Wednesday evening on the long end of a 51-29 count. The McBeaths (of the Bellingham McBeaths) walked off with first and second honors in scoring with 17 markers to Clint's credit, and 13 for brother Malcolm. Take Early Lead Sparkling accurately in the first few minutes of play Coach Carver's prides ran up a 14 to 0 lead and the game was beginning to have all the ear-marks' of a set-up for the Sehome lads. A substitution for the eastern team placed three boys towering over the heads of the tallest Viking and the locals were forced to work slightly harder but the half time score stood at 23-8 and the Belling-ham boys still held their big lead. Increase Lead I n the final period Walt Sorensen and Clint McBeath shared scoring honors with 11 markers each, with Bishop of the visiting squad garnering 10 points to lead his teammates with a total of 12 counters when the final gun fired. Rork Oat Jim Rork, pivot man of the Viking forces, was marking time at the Armory floor at National Guard drill while Bob Zoet, lanky Jayvee center, was drafted into the reserves should Dutch McBeath be removed from the jumping position. Zoet, Miles, and Nolte entered the game in the last half of the final period. Twentv-nine fouls were committed by the two teams 15 of which were Viking penalties and the eastern boys receiving the remaining 14. The locals far outclassed the rival five when they converted 7 out of 14 trys while the opposition made but three of their 15 attempts. McNeill of Bellingham and Judy of Yakima left the game on fouls. Bellingham— Yakima— C. McBeath 17 ..P Bishop 12- Million 6 F. Jones M.

But, folks, don't get excited! Starting tomorrow when we match pennies with a nifty outfit from St. Martins, the going will get tough—and how! After that comes Ellensberg and a little later Cheney. These three teams are plenty fast and we'll have to play real ball to hurdle over any of them. But so far we've made a good showing and we wouldn't be surprised to see the Vikings shoot off a few firecrackers before the season's over. This week, the honorary tin loving- cup sponsored by this column, goes to Clint McBeath. No foolin', boys, for a fellow who's been in this basketball racket for years, and who stays consistently up in the top money, Clint just about wins the brass something or other. He was good in the eighth grade and he's still good..Clint's a marvelous shot, but he's always looking for a chance to shoot a pass to the other fellow. And when he really wants to, he can check. Clint's also a% fighter. It's gotten so that local basketball and Clint McBeath just about have to be considered synon-omously. These "frat" boys over at Viking Manor have a real basketbal quintet— one of the best in recent years in the way of intra-mural teams. A lot of their success is due to the very friendly feeling and good organization over at "the house." We just have a sneaking idea that the organization is due to Paul Grimes, non-student general secretary and manager. We've come to the conclusion that if the Co-Ops, Relics, or Rowdy Raiders don't get in there and spill the Manor boys a couple of times, they'll just have to sit by and watch them sail smoothly through to the championship. Basketball is striding into full swing in the colleges once again. In the East, Pennsylvania grabbed the spotlight by opening its participation in the high-class Eastern Intercollegiate league by taking a fall out of Princeton, last year's champions, who hadn't lost a game this season in eight starts. Then on the opposite side of the country, we find California the potential big-shots in the south half of the Pacific Coast Conference, and Southern California doped to give them a hot run. So far Washington State is looking good in the North, but the U of Washington Huskies look like the class of the whole league. Hec Edmundson always moulds a wonderful quintet. We Washing-tonians are proud of the fact that for years the University has been a good basketball school. NORMAL TO MEET ST. MARTIN TEAM Jayvees Play Deming Town Team In Preliminary ' VIKING HAS GOOD OFFENSIVE The past week the air has had a tinge of cold but we still harbor the secret thought—"The good weather is coming soon!" We longingly contrast the cold and the rain with sunshine, blue skies and warm air. We just about shout with exuberance as there pops into our mind scenes of Spring: Golf, tennis, track, strolls in the afternoon— love! Hot diggety dog—It won't be long now! Curtains Viking Hoopsters Beat Mt. Vernon By Large Margin Jayvees Downed by Union Printing When, dense clouds of profanity had cleared away on the Y. M. C. A. court last Tuesday and Referee Oc-cie Thorsen had the Jayvee boys in neutral corners the judges passed in their decisions. Fifty of the forty-nine judges ruled that the driving right of Slim Loomis outclassed the left jabs of Bob Zoet and the battle was given to the Union Printing lads with the score at 29-32. This game marked two in a row that the locals have lost, bowing to the Y. M. C. A. five last week by a 33-34 count. I n the contest last Tuesday the Jayvees were handicapped by illness of Zwaschka and Harris, known as the backbone of the squad.

Louise tiawrence is confined at the isolation hospital with quinsy. x .''. The Viking basketball squad invaded the Mount Vernon junior college arena last Saturday night and won their second straight victory by swamping the river boys under an avalanche of points 87-21. Normal displayed too much speed and cleverness in passing, coupled with a powerful zone defense, for the junior college. In Clint McBeath, Malcolm, McBeath, Million, Rork, Moser, and Sorenson, Normal had sharpshooters that hit the hoop with unerring regularity. Vikings Hold Lead The Viking outfit took a substantial lead in the first few minutes of hostilities, while the Mount Vernon offensive never developed a serious threat at any stage of the game. At the end of the first half the local team led by a comfortable margin, 43-12. The' opposition also proved woefully weak in the second round, allowing the Normal to score 44 points to Mount Vernon 9. Summary: Normal 87— Mt. Vernon 21— C.

Watson Sub Lipert o Night Raiders Lose To ReVamp Team If Brinkman had been there to spark the Nite Raiders with his two fouls and his enthusiasm, the outcome of their game last Monday, probably would have, been different. As it was, the accurate shooting of the re-vamped Revelers, featuring Don Matheny, proved too much for the highly-touted Raiders and, minus the services,of former big shots, they went down to a 26 to 22 defeat. Summary: MANOR CAPTURES FIRST HALF TITLE Taking the rest of the intramural teams like Grant took Richmond, Gable's mighty basketball team from Viking Manor walked off with the first half bunting with eight straight victories and no losses. Biting the heels of the Manor from the first of the season, the Night Raiders eased into second place with seven wins and one loss, followed by the Relics who managed to capture third with 6 wins and 2 losses. The complete standings of all teams in the league is as follows: Team— Won Lost Pet. Viking Manor 8 Raiders 7 Relics 6 Angels 4 Co-op 3 Harlequins 2 Revelers 2 Doormats 2 Bachelors Club 0 0 1.000 1 .875 2 .750 3 .571 4 .429 5 .285 5 .285 6 .250 8 .000 Sam Carver's varsity cagers encounter the most serious opposition they have taken on to date, when the roving St. • Martin's quintet clashes with them tomorrow night on the Whatcom high school court. The Jayvee-Mt. Baker game which precedes the major contest will start at 7:30. Rangers Are Powerful The St. Martins melee will furnish the Vikings with the strongest competition they have faced this season, and it will take all the finesse and ability of the Blue and White to turn the Rangers back. The Saints have gathered together a brilliant array of court talent and will present a powerful, driving offense that has shown one of the most effective scoring punches of any junior college in the northwest. Carver will be giving his pupils a large assignment when he sends them in to try and stop it. Million Looks Good Ferd Million, a newcomer this quarter, played his first game for Normal last Saturday and showed that he possesses a superb sense of timing, balance, shooting, and passing ability, all of which will help carry the burden against the highly-touted attack of the Saints. The Viking quintet, however, have a powerful offensive drive of their own, and with such sharp-shooters as Rork, the McBeaths, Sorensen. and Million shoveling in points as they have in past games, will give the Rangers all the opposition they can handle. o MEN ARE PICKED A STATEMENT Of the Financial Condition of THE NORTHWEST VIKING Deficit September 30.

XXXIII—NO. 6 WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON £rkJay, Nov. 0 9 3 4 Comedy Character Described In Glorified Stage Directions Of Fall Quarter Production Barrie Gives Excellent Description of All Actors As They Are Introduced; Grichton Called the Perfect Butler; Lord Loam Is Domineering. Ill Barrie's "The Admirable Crichton," the choice of the speech department for presentation this quarter, one gets a vivid picture of each of the more important characters as they are introduced in the stage directions. _ . „ . The Hon. Ernest Wooley, played by Boyd Swanson, is almost a celebrity in restaurants, where he dines frequently, returning to sup^and for the privilege of handing his hat*; to an attendant he has probably paid as much as the rent of a work-ingman's flat." Lord Loam, as portrayed by Ralph Hofman, is a fantastic aristocrat, "really the reformed House of Lords which will come some day." His two younger daughters, Catherine and Agatha, brought to life by Helen Scott and Lorene Smith, are very lazy, "Catherine being two years younger than Agatha." Of Crichton little is said in the first act because it would be poor taste to describe a servant. "If to the scandal of all good houses, he is to stand out as a figure in the play, he must do it on his own feet." The role of the perfect butler is enacted by Randy Oberlatz. Lady Mary, played by Anne Math-esdn, can, if she so choose, "make you seem so insignificant that you feel you might be swept away with a crumb-brush." As her fiance, Lord Brocklehurst, appears Herbert Wilkinson. "You could pick him up by the handful any day in Piccadilly or Holborn, buying socks—or selling them." Louise f Lawrence gurgles through the four acts as the "little kitchen maid. Others of the cast are Faith Scheyer, Helen McKenzie, Letha Kirk, Victor Dickinson, Nelson Ault, Nancy Smith, Ralph Shenenberger and Robert Hartley. Examinations Show Special Aptitudes "There is very little or no relation between musical ability and college aptitude rating as shown by the Seashore music tests given to music appreciation classes of the Normal," is the statement of Dr. C. C. Up-shall, director of the bureau of research. These music tests differentiate degrees of tonal memory, sense of pitch, and ability to write music from dictation. There is some indication that a person who did well in the dictation exercise also has a high college aptitude rating. The main purpose in giving these tests in this school is to group students according to ability so that those who have already a musical background will not be repeating work. Each student in the classes has been assigned to a varied number of required music courses and according to Mr. Donald Bushell,' of the Music department, these assignments must be adhered to. o New Books Hail Riders of Hobby "Hobby Horse Book Show" has been chosen the national theme for this year's book week. This collection of books will guide the hobby riders to knowledge and adventure via their book trails. Join the mounted hobbists and see the new and colorful books on display in the children's library. The exhibits will include informational books which supply the young avocationist with basic materials.' These books depict life in other countries and are elaborately illustrated. There is also a new group of books, dealing with the problems of social science in a de-. tailed fashion. Lists of these books . arei available' at the library. '"'" Kr v '"* .'•'"'• .•'•"'.- gt; Urge Autographs Pictures of Football Players Featured in Book "I would like to revive the old custom of autographing the Homecoming booklets," says Dick Newlean, editor, "because I feel that it adds a lot to the personal value of the book. There is plenty of space provided." These blue and white souvenir booklets are still available this afternoon to anyone who has not yet purchased a copy. Each member of tomorrow's line-up has been given one by the editor. The booklets are different this year in that they have been changed from the traditional football form to a more conventional book shape. There are eighteen individual pictures of the Viking players, one of President C. H. Fisher, one of Captain Art Bagley, and two from Cheney. One of these is of President Richard Hargreaves of the Cheney State Normal school, and the other is of the Cheney football captain, Dan Dech. Co-op Tests Show Superior Results Students Found Lower In English Than Other Subjects Violinist Scores Hit With Critic Kayla Mitzel Pleases Audience With Musical Treat Wednesday By Christine Albers Kayla Mitzel brought to Belling-ham an unusual musical treat Wednesday evening. Her gorgeous tone, delicate phrasing, brilliant technique and beautiful interpretations proved that she is an extremely gifted young artist. Her opening number, "La Folia," by Correlli, displayed her feelings for the old master and gave an example of her beautiful tone. In the Mendelssohn E minor Concerto her rare delicacy of phrasing, swift, clean technique and mellow tone made that composition live for its listeners. She played "Poem," by Chaus-sen exquisitely, bringing out the deeply emotional feeling which prevails in that composition. Her brilliant execution of "The Flight of the Bumble Bee" so took the audience by storm that she was forced to repeat it. As a fitting close to her program she played "Dance Espagnole", a fiery, rhythmic thing which she interpreted and played in a superb fashion. All who heard the concert felt that the critics were right in saying that she will someday be one of the greatest of women violinists. Alumni Luncheonj Will Be At Edens Tickets Should Be Procured Before Friday That Washington State Normal school students rank lower in English usage than in any other subject is shown in the results of the national co-operative tests, which were given last May to sophomores in colleges, universities, and normals throughout the United States. The scores of the students of the Normal were above average in every division of the examination, being only a little above average in spelling, art, and especially English usage. In others, as social science, general culture, and especially science, they were much above the average. The group who took the test last spring also took the same test the year before as third-quarter freshmen. In nearly every subject the percentiles of fee sophomores are higher than those they made as freshmen. The results of these tests will be available to the students in about-a month. —. o Edens Hall Women Plan Fall Informal Tickets for the annual Homecoming alumni luncheon are on sale on the main landing. The luncheon will be in the dining room of Edens hall tomorrow noon. Students are advised to get their tickets early. A committee consisting of Betty Jock, Miss Bertha Crawford, Miss Georgia Gragg, Mrs. Ruth Burnet, Mr. L. A. Kibbe, Frank Brown and Julius Dorhblut, met Monday afternoon to discuss plans for the luncheon. The lunch, which cosis 25 cents, will be enlivened by a program featuring student talent.

Kibbe Reminisces OUR FIRST FOOTBALL TEAM Bellingham Normal had its first football team in 1903. It was coached by R. W. Green, who came West as an attorney, having been star quarterback on the vtrsity of the University of Minnesota. There were thirty-seven boys in school that season. The following men were on the first squad: William Moultray, now working for Standard Oil in Seattle; John Swanberg; Pinckney White; Ben Phelps; Guy E.

Anarcho-Cynicism A Review by Wilson Waylett -Hurray! Music! Prefer Pearce To Politics By Syd Lines Ha-a-a-ah! It's good to relax! Election's over and the radio plays music once more. And that's the main thing; it plays and is ever ready to give us entertainment. Entertainment! The essence of the regular afternoon program of Al Pearce from KOMO every afternoon except Saturdays at 2 o'clock. Al, an exceedingly versatile master of ceremonies, presents an impromptu program featuring popular artists of no mean ability, such as the Three Cheers, Hazel Harner, Mabel Todd, and Monroe Upton. And he, himself, is several stars in one: he characterises Eb of Eb and Zeb. Hector Smith, and Elmer Burp with marvelous case. Eb and Zeb should the two old codgers interest you, are heard at 6:45 week days with the exception of Wednesday and Saturday, from KVOS. In contrast to .this light frivolity is the interesting series of programs NBC is putting on for the National Advisory Council on Education. We have been unable to determine the exact hour for these Thursday broadcasts but have a strong belief they may be heard in late afternoons. Next Thursday's program will be titled, "The Consumer in Modern Society." Edward A. Filene, president of the Filene Company will be the guest speaker. And then to cure fits of despondency, take a liberal dose of Phil Baker the comic dog artists sponsored by Armour on NBC tonight at 6:30. If not potent enough, get in a half hour earlier and try Phil Harris. You should have had your fill by then. (Oh, read it again). The outstanding dance offering the week might be Waring's Pennsylvania from CBS Thursday at 6:30. Perhaps you will prefer the more artistic arrangements of Paul Whiteman as NBC. presents him Thursday at 7. Tom Coakley offers a nice brand of rhythm from KGO and KJR Sunday evenings at 9:30. At 11 o'clock comes the old timer, Tom Gerum, from the Oakland station. And one thing to steer clear of— Little Orphan Annie, NBC, 5:45 Monday. The Gobble-uns'll getchew!

Lobby of Heaven and On Grim Irish Island Scene for Melodrama In heaven's lobby, Jane Wyatt meets her • future in the strange melodrama, "Lost Horizons.^ She has committed suicide because her lover deserted her. In the twenty scenes of the play, we find Jane reading the histories of the lives that would have, been bound up with hers had she stayed on earth. She would have helped a playwright by appearing in his play and saved the life of a convicted murderer. Finally, into heaven's halls walks the playwright who would have been her husband, but he fails to recognize her. Normal in the Days Of\Keplinger And Rankin Different By Mary Hibner The editor sent a note to the author of this article. It asked for. an article on the old days and specified only one thing—that it must have glamour. Now the author might be able to write an article— she might even be able to write about the old days—not too old—but glamour she has always lacked so the editor will have to take what he can get and like it. It is customary, in looking back into the past, to progress in decades. This is going one year better partly because the author was not here ten years ago and was eleven years ago and partly because it seems to have been the year when the most happened. Eleven Years Ago! School started that year, as this, on the first day of October. Edens hall was new. The debris of the old building was still in evidence where the cars now park. It was President Fisher's first year here. The athletic field was finished, named after the former president, W. B. Waldo, and somewhat roughed up with its first football game. The athletic teams, previously nameless, were christened the Vikings.. The name was. chosen by contest, and in awarding the prize Prexy expounded upon its appropriateness. That was in the days before "col-yums" made the paper. The Northwest Viking was the Weekly Messenger, commonly referred to as the Weakly Mess, and a very.sedate little paper it was, too, filled with news, student opinions (plenty) and occasional attempts at literature. Poetry Respectable Poetry was still considered respectable. It was even possible to win a bright gold coin if your poem was judged better than the rest. ---------- Northwest Viking - 1934 November 9 - Page 3 ---------- •f?0 ?•'•"' Tf^l^~ o gt;OSrOI ' WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, kEUJNGHAM. WASHINGTON Vikings Battle Savages For Top Position Tomorrow Scrappy Battle Expected When Savages and Vikings Tangle in Homecoming Classic Saturday Cheney Gridders Will Be Favorite Because of Many Victories Scored So Far; Bagley Will Lead Viking Gridmen in Tomorrow's Big Contest. By Phil Campbell When a snarling Savage meets a fighting Viking one can expect a pretty good battle. Just such a fight "will take place tomorrow afternoon during the annual football game between the Cheney Savages and the Bellingham Vikings. Cheney, fresh from her recent victory over Ellensburg, will be out. to make it two straight in conference victories and the tri-normal championship. The Vikings, on the other hand, have been pointing for this game all season and are all set to avenge the crushing defeat handed them by the Savages last year. A win for the Lappenbusch men will put them in a good position to take the conference title. Cheney Has Impressive Record If comparative records mean anything in a game like this, then Cheney will be rated the favorite on her record so far this year. Cheney has defeated such strong elevens as the Idaho Prosh and the Lewiston (Idaho) Normal team. Two weeks ago she took Ellensburg, last year's tri-normal champs, into camp and last Saturday the Savages knocked over the WSC Babes, 6-0. This record shows 'that Coach Red Reese has quite a formidable aggregation. Peterson Is Big- Threat A look at the starting lineup might give a better picture of what will happen out on Waldo field tomorrow afternoon. Cheney's big threat and a man that is liable to cause the Vikings plenty df worry is Peterson, the Savage fullback. He is rated as one of the outstanding backs among small college teams "in the Northwest. It was he who last year ran through the Viking line for many long gains. But it won't be Peterson alone for the Reesemen. Gall, McNew and Barnes round out a very versatile backfield. On the forward wall will be Danekas and Heineman at ends, Captain Dech and Blair at tackles, Gronrath and Bauman at guards, and Green at center. This gives Cheney a fast, hard, charging line that will make-tough going for the Viking backs. Bag-ley Is Captain . Captain Art Bagley will lead the Viking gridmen against the Savages. Bagley is having one of his best years of football in college competition. Along side of him in the backfield will be Fay Franklin, the boy with the ghostlike hoofs. Max McKensie will probably get the signal- calling job with Cal Davidson at the fullback position. On the line will be Alpaugh and Coffield at ends, Frender and Jim Miller at tackles, Tomco and Ullin at guards, and Waara at the pivot position. Savages Have Most Games Cheney Has Won Six Out of Ten Battles; /Vikings First Four; None Since Not since 1927 have the Bellingham Vikings been able to turn back the strong football teams of Cheney Normal school, after defeating them in the first four games of their annual engagements since 1923. The Vikings coached by Sam Carver in '23 won the first game between the two normal schools by a 27-13 score, going through Ellensburg for the tri-normal championship. The following year during Carver's absence, the team was coached by Elwood Davies, who again put out a tri-normal championship team by beating Cheney and Ellensburg. The last Viking victory over Cheney was back in '27, when the hill-toppers won 6-0 from the Inland Empire boys.

It was no use, for Thor and his fellows quenched the lightning with gallons and gallons of water. You know that when a Norseman goes to sea he is at his best; at least, that is what Otto Finley says. He's the one that is responsible for this paragraph. o o o Individual stars in the CPS game were hard to pick. Eleven men played bang-up football throughout the whole game. In the backfield, Tarte and Bagley made up the best defensive combination and Davidson and Boggess made long runs with the help of that stellar back, McKensie. Tomco, Ullin, Frender, Miller, and Coffield were the shining lights in the line. o o o WELCOME, GRADS! Reminiscing about last year's Homecoming game, we wonder what Sinko, Sulkosky, Smick, Claypole and the rest of the boys are doing? We hope that then-bright and shining faces will favor us on this, our Homecoming weekend. We've heard from Otto Finley and Hank Mitchell and they promise that they will be at the game to give their vocal assistance to the Vikings.

Vikings Shave After Victory Oyer Loggers Football Squad Defeats Tacoma Gridsters for First Time In Six Years Viking Line Strong Viking football players deserved their shaves after Saturday morning. CPS was defeated by the Bellingham team for the first time in six years last Friday night. It was after their first trip to Tacoma, when they were defeated by PLC, that the Viking players resolved not to shave until they won a game. The two following games, both on the local field, were ties. Coach Chuck, Lappenbusch's squad had their chance to win. Friday in the same city which has jinxed them for so long, and they made good use of their opportunity. Victory I s Sweet These facts alone give an idea of how sweet the 14 to 6 victory of the local eleven was over the Loggers. The Vikings have now played five games with only one defeat. Furthermore an opposing team has yet to score more than one touchdown against the powerful Viking forward wall. To get back to Friday's game, Coach Roy Sandberg's team scored first on a long pass from Brooks to Carlson. The kick was blocked. Shortly after this the Vikings began to click. After working the ball to CPS's 20-yard line, Mackensie threw a perfect pass to Davidson in the end zone for the score. Bagley Scores A Bellingham victory was assured after Bagley scored through the line late in the fourth quarter. Both of Frender's kicks for the point-after-touchdown were perfect. The entire line looked good for the Vikings, while Boggess was the outstanding offensive player in the backfield. Bagley and Tarte stood out in the secondary defense.

Early in life he resolved to prove that it is possible for any man to succeed in his chosen work, regardless of his color. Born in Georgia of poor parents, Roland Hayes had a long hard struggle against poverty, prejudice, ignorance, and misunderstanding. People of his own race as well as those of the white race discouraged him from ever trying to rise above that to which he was born. After early struggles in Georgia, he went to Louisville, Kentucky. There he had an engagement at a theater; he also had a position as a waiter in a wealthy club, where he frequently sang for parties. There he met several people from Boston who encouraged him to go North to pursue his studies so that he might have greater opportunities to contact musical life. In 1911 he went to Boston with the Fisk Jubilee singers and decided to stay there and make his way. He began to study with a good teacher and took all manner of jobs in order to get along. He gave several concerts at first in Boston and then from coast to coast, which he managed himself. Although he was increasingly successful, he was flatly told that he could never hope to break the color line. It was in England that he first received great public acclaim and was asked, subsequently, to sing at Buckingham Palace. From then on his career took care of itself, and the long hard years of work were richly rewarded. o- Positions Secured School Grads Viking Squad and Tacoma to Play Sat.

Vida Goheen is teaching at Roeq* (Continued on Page Four) | Thirty men students have gained employment at the r e c r e a t i on grounds at Lake Whatcom through the allotment for school work of Civil Works Service funds. This allotment was made for the school by authorities in Olympia. Mr. George Dack, head gardener for the school, is in charge of the work, clearing the recreational grounds at Lake Whatcom, often referred to as Normalstad. To date only thirty men are employed but it is hoped that CWS funds will be increased to provide for more. The present crew was selected from among eighty students who made application to Mr. Buchanan at the business office last week. Work is done on Saturdays, the students receiving 50 cents an hour. Last Saturday, the first day of work on the project, the workers met at the school powerhouse, from where they were transported to work in a bus. Each brought his own lunch, and hot coffee was served. Those receiving- employment at this time are: Bill Ames, Nelson Ault, Robert Barnhart, Wilbur Conn, Raymond Dunigan, Dwight Divird, Harold Fit-zer, Bill Frender, Stanley Gillies, Harry Goheen, Joe Hager, Glenn Hamman, Wilfred Hoban, Lawrence Jones, Arne Johnson, Earl Hohn ston, George Lovos, Walter Miller, Gordon Millikan, Byron Moser, Rog er Mullen, Lou Neilsen, John Odell, William Schirman, Gylfi Sollie, Ray Sulkosky, Oscar Svarlien, Mike Tomco, Chet Ullin, Anthony Zam bas. How strong is the Varsity squad for the 1934 basketball season? What kind of teamwork will the men display after such a short time of practice together? These are the two important questions that Coach Chuck Lappen-busch hopes to answer favorably next Saturday evening when the Bellingham Normal first team meets Coach Sandberg's experienced College of Puget Sound Loggers. The game will be played at the Whatcom high school gym, with a preliminary game between the Jayvee squad and Pay'n Takit, beginning at 7:30 p. m. Practice Is Short It is still doubtful which five men will begin the game for the Vikings, since Lappenbusch has had only a little over a week to mould together a team. The two guard spots seem to be the most settled in the mind of the coach. Moser, one of the three last year's veterans, is a sure choice for one of the back court positions. He is a very aggressive player as has been proved in former games. Johnson at Guard For the other guard, Otto Johnson, a valuable player from Whatcom high, will probably get the first call. He has plenty of height to aid him in working under the basket both in scoring and in taking the ball from the backboard. Frender has developed so fast lately at center that he will probably start at that position. For reserve, Lappenbusch will have Anderson, a newcomer fTdto'.-Eric nvilie, who is about 6 feet, 3 inches in height. At forward, six men have been showing up well. Sorenson and Dunigan seem to be the most logical men to start Saturday, but Lappen busch will have Zambas, Vander Griend, McBeath and maybe the small, speedy player, Benedict, to Ralph Shenenberger and Bob Lindsley submitted a report on the homecoming booklet at the Board of Control meeting which was held in the Associated Students office January 8. This booklet was put out November 17 and 18. The report was accepted. Shenenberger and Lindsley made no money on the proposition, but they were able to break even. Elizabeth Caulkins submitted a report on the winter mixer, which was held at Edens hall January 8. About 950 students attended this affair. A report was given by Otto Finley on yell leaders' sweaters, which were worn for the first time in this morning's pep assembly. The sweaters are navy blue with a white megaphone on the front and "Viking" written on the megaphone head. They were worn by the yell leaders, Vernon Leatha, Melvin Munsen and Bill Allan.- . Sam Ford presented the report on the inventory in the Co-op and submitted the report for 1933 to the board. Otto Finley was elected delegate to the nominating convention to represent the board. Members who attended the meeting were: John Christy, president; Otto Finley, Harriet Rickerson, Bert Gallanger, Dick Albert and Dr. Bond. Members absent were: Julia Christianson and Mr. H. E.

Vice President PRIMARIES TO BE HELD WEDNESDAY De Gallier, Richardson, and Wieder Will Run for Four Quarter Board of Control Representative Charles Morgan To Give Lecture (Continued on Page Three) Ericsson Returns from First Real Vacation Spent in Eighteen Years By Mary Ann Fisher Completing her first real vacation in eighteen years, Miss Emma Erick-son, technique teacher in the upper grades of the training school, returned to her position here last week. She left Bellingham last July 30, which was immediately after the first six weeks of summer school. Miss Erickson planned to spend her five months leave of absence visiting relatives and friends in dfferent parts of Minnesota. In accordance with this plan she drove to the middle west with a niece. During this 15-day trip the two occupants of the' car saw many scenic wonders and beauties, chief of. which was Glacier National park. This and many of the other western scenes were fa miliar to Miss Erickson. "But nevertheless," she said, "I thoroughly enjoyed myself as guide and infor mation giver". Miss Erickson considers Glacier Park and Logan Pass the two most delightful places in the west. Besides the business of getting acquainted with her various relatives Miss Erickson made it her business to do some work in the University of Minnesota's College of Education. Minnesota is knowns as one of the outstanding farm centers, of the United States, and therefore happening to be in that district at just the crucial time of the instituting of the NRA, CWA, and AAA, Miss Erickson was able to make close observations of the farmers' reactions. When pressed for some statements of these reactions, Miss Council Sets Forth Clubs Regulations For New Year '34 Erickson replied, "Naturally the attitude of the different farmers depend upon their individual circumstances. For instance, the man whose entire property, including land, home and implements, was mortgaged was eligible for federal help, but the man whose land only was mortgaged, was not eligible. These latter farmers were very disgruntled and protested that without help they were speedily heading to the point where their complete property would have to be mortgaged." Miss Erickson also noted that Minnesota has not completely swung over to the anti-milk production rebellion, as Wisconsin and Iowa have. Within areas of eighteen miles there are creameries operating at top speed, while others are completely closed. Directly after Christmas, Miss Erickson left Minnesota where it was 44 degrees below zero and arrived soon afterward in Everett where there was. "warm sunshine And rosebuds". A "Hereafter the clubs whose iepre-sentatives do not attend the Inter-club Council meets will be depviv. d of their social functions," says Victor Dickenson, president of the Tn-terclub Council at their meeting Wednesday afternoon. Another point emphasized again was the fact that all club election results must be turned in to the council, and the same representative will serve for three quarters. Starting this quarter, the banquets and luncheons for speakers and guests' at the school will be sponsored by the council rather than, as in the past, by individual clubs. A committee appointed for the purpose of working out ths scheme consists of Victor Dickenson, chairman, and Sarah Jamieson, and Christine Albers. Dickenson re-emphasized the fact thta daes set by clubs for social functions must be "Drought to the attention of the council or Miss Mildred Tremain for consideration and recording. A committee consisting of Lila Weider, Eilene Morrison, and Roger Mullen was appointed by the president to plan the 1934-35 Blue Book.

Facism Threatens America Black shirts for Italy, brown shirts for Germany, and now we have silver shirts for America! Let no one believe for a moment that Fascism in this country is not a growing, dangerous thing. It is not pleasant to contemplate a movement based on pernicious anti-semitic propaganda, intensely narrow nationalism, combined with fanatical, mob-appealing mysticism. The organ for this Mussolini-Hitler hybrid in the United States is "Liberation" published by William Dudley Pelley. Just as Hitler is poisoning the minds of the German school children with adulterated history books, so is this man doing incredible harm with his cleverly deceptive bit of putrid journalism. Fight it! Northwest History Early Bellingham Newspapers —By Nancy-Jane Smith The New Leisure Another Challenge For the Schools —By Calista Simonds Schools Belong To The People Last week we stressed the need of a more active campaign for the support of the public schools by those interested in the future of America. Outstanding for its simplicity and directness is the statement of California school superintendents published in the Sierra Educational News for December. This pronouncement applies just as well ot Washington. The Schools Belong to the People We are determined that the people of the State of California voho own and operate public schools shall also control them. We believe that a system of public education free to all children of all the people from the kindergarten ..through the university is necessary for the maintenance and preservation of our democratic, political and social institutions. We recognize that the state has resources sufficient to meet its social needs, and we believe that finances adequate for the support of its educational program should be provided by a just and charitable system of taxation based upon the ability of the citizens to pay. We need more such clear declarations, not only in educational journals, but in the magazines and newspapers read by the masses. Perhaps, then, we can hope to stop the idiotic idea of paralyzing state educational institutions while the government proceeds with another wild armament building spree. What's What By June Larson Are things getting complicated in England! Mr. Arntzen has us all dizzy with the perpetual maiden, cat, mice, bumble bee, clover, and prosperity cycles. It's a good thing we don't have to depend upon the number of cats there are to regulate our male population. Out of the past where work was the objective of youth and leisure was the goal made possible through its achievement, emerges a new era in which leisure becomes another phase of work, the art of which must be taught to the individuals. This new leisure as a challenge to the educators of America, is the theme of an article appearing in The Journal of the National Education Association for January, 1934. This article is an excerpt from the book, "The New Leisure Challenges the School", written by Eugene T. Lies, who has. made this study for the National Recreation association. Mr. Lies points out that teachers do not yet realize the extent of the present day leisure, due to the fact that training schools are not laying much emphasis upon the subject. One superintendent, whom Mr. Lies approached on the subject, declared: "The whole outlook upon life and* its composition must be modified, in the minds of educators. We have looked upon the preparation for the job as'being the big thing and as synonymous with the whole of life. In further quoting this educator, Mr. Lies offers an antidote for this through shifting our emphasis to the bigger portions of life, namely rich living. This constitutes an imperative call upon education to take a larger hand in the solution of the leisure time, in the judgment of the author. To achieve this he suggests a cooperative system between the schools and the communities. Although making it clear that an outlined program would be essential, Mr. Lies fails to supply .one. This, doubtless is due to his realization of the differences in communities. In recognition of leisure as a factor for good or evil, depending upon the use of it, Mr. Lies asserts, "Leisure can degrade or elevate, can blast careers or enhance them, can break down health or build it, can bring everlasting grief or minister to continuing happiness, as it is used or abused." Submitting an undeniable basis for the great concern on this imminent problem, Mr. Lies presents the fact that the objects of choice for leisure activity are tremendously more numerous at the present time than at any time in the history of civilization. ....It looks as if the prophecy of a good political battle for the coming election was no sham prediction. If you still think the situation is a bit too balmy—listen closely to the speeches coming up this next Tuesday... We predict that you will be surprised at the happenings. (Think that I will become a politician if this turns out right). o n,ngiisti Usage Synonyms and Things —By Calista Simonds I guess Frender gets the cake for gettin' his autographed eggs broken. When I last heard he had five of 'em and the latest was squished ickily all over the floor in front of the bulletin board. Hoban has the right idea! He just wraps his up in a set of winter flannels and doesn't have to worry. With Christmas only a memory, except for the bills, and the new year fast becoming old, the time has come to speak of other things, of nouns, and verbs, and adjectives, and synonyms, and things. How would you like to be limited to one suit for all occasions? Of course you wouldn't, and neither does your vocabulary. Give it a treat. Brush up on your synonyms. Here's an interesting group: New, novel, modern, recent. No one needs to tell you that they all mean something similar, but are you aware that each has a fineness of meaning that is different?

BELLTNGHAM. WASHINGTON First Game at 7:30 J. V's vs. Pay'n Takit Season Opens with Vikings vs. Loggers 3K8 lt; SPORTS By Lindsley and Shenenberger The Northwest Viking hoop squad is getting cocky! Although they have good reason to be, they are set to go down in humiliating defeat if they continue being so, overconfident. In their game against the Harlequins last Monday it took them an entire half to get going and then it was their offensive playing that clicked. They have lost only one game out of seven in the intramural league and are going to raise this percentage if they can. The team members are sure that they could give any high school team a trouncing and they probably would... In Hudson and Stone they have two accurate scorers, while Campbell, Stockton, and Kean are able to stick to their men and hold them down. Campbell looked good in the passing attack Monday. There is a game with the Jayvees in the offing for the reporters. Although it is a litle- late, we would like to add our bit of praise to Bobby Grayson, Stanford back-field ace. He ran wild in the second half against Columbia during the New Year's Rose Bowl game even though he had cracked two ribs'1 earlier in the game. Just watch his smoke next year. Bill Tilden has proved his mastery at tennis again. Wednesday evening he defeated the recently turned Pro., Ellsworth Vines, in straight sets. The scores were 8-6; 6-3; 6-2. Although Tilden is 41 years of age, he was able to dominate the match with the former world amateur champ from California. Rumors have been heard during the last week in the sport circles of the school about a proposed change in the awarding of sweaters for spring sports. It seems that after many years, golf at last is going to be put on an equal basis with tennis. Whether these sports will both be classed as major activities is not known as yet. However we have learned from an inside source that an attempt will be made to get major awards for the links and net men. Ellensburg will this year make golf a major sport and it is expected t h a t Cheney will likely follow suit. In our own opinion, we believe that this school should follow the others and make golf into a major. If t h a t were done then tennis would not have to be dropped to a minor sport. The Varsity second test of the 1934 basketball season will come next Thursday when they meet the Pacific Lutheran college five over on the Whatcom courts. This is one game that, in the past, the Vikings have usually won. However, this year, with the P. L. C. quintet rated stronger than ever and the Viking team consisting of untried men, anything might happen. The P. L. C. five is led by Jack, at center, Willard, at guard and Moe, a scrappy little forward. * * * * The swallowing of one live goldfish is the only requirement for membership into the "Goldfish club" organized among the upper-classmen at Roanoke college. Does anyone want to pledge? Minnesota co-eds are liable to a $10 fine or six days in jail if found wearing a fraternity pin, this being a'violation of a state law. Larson Discusses Current Problems (Continued from Page Two) never before has the United States spent so much for war preparations, never before has an economic crisis been so severe, never before has human want been so widespread. We are marching, marching on— 1914? 1917? . —Cultural Barbarism— Out of the 40,000 high school students graduating in Germany during the current year only 15,000 are going to be permitted to attend college. Ever since the Hitler regime has come into power Germany has headed toward cultural barbarism. The utterances of the silver shirts, reconstructed Ku Klux Klan,*, khaki shirts, etc., according to John Stra-chey, could be paralleled by German prototypes; He further states that their extreme illiteracy, the insanity of their program when inflamed by race prejudices, intense nationalism, class hatred is not so negligible as one may think. .... The rise of fascism in America is highly probable. We must fight it. I t is only through the militant, collective action of the intellectual and manual workers tfiat such a reversion to barbarism can be avoided. Big Smoker to Be Featured by Many K O Boys Tentative Line-up of Scrappers Is Fairly Well Arranged for " W " Event With the biggest W club event in many a moon only two weeks away, the only drawback seems to be finding opposition for the hefty battlers who are waiting the gong on Friday night, January 26. It was hoped that "Three-Punch" Sinko, the Raymond Assassin, would be in the ring. He will be unable to put his rat-tat-tat on exhibition as teaching activities prevent, but will be seen as third man in the ring for the boxing. W i t h "Two - Punch" Johnsen definitely out, having failed to break the concrete sidewalk when diving off the industrial arts porch last Friday night, and "Battling Clutch" Toby not in school, the linpup has been hit hard. But with a nucleus of grid stars awaiting action, such as "Big John" Odell, Mike (Stranglef) Tomco, "Big Bull" Frender, the Bremerton Shipbuilder, and "Wild Bill" Ames, from Buckley, the heavyweight division ought to be taken care of. In the light-heavy division, there are "Battling Beans" Gillies, "Sheik" Ullin, from Southwest Washington, "Her-miston" Hammon, from Oregon, "Crooning Cal" Davidson, Ed (What-a- Man) Hudson and George Willis, the Enumclaw Thunderbolt, for the middleweights. o Northwest Vikings Open Second Half With Hoop Victory Led by Shenenberger, scrappy Viking guard, the newspapermen ushered in the second half of the intramural schedule with a 36-to-16 victory over the fighting Harlequins. By scoring fourteen points Shenenberger took high point honors. Lindsley, Viking forward, and Jones, of the Harlequins, tied with eight points apiece. The first half was rather slow, with frequent fumbles occurring on both sides. At half time the score stood 12 to 6 in favor of the Vikings. The winners opened the second half with a much smoother passing attack and soon ran up the score. Jones and Hamman looked good for the losers. Stone, Viking forward, was not in the lineup because of illness. o Thugs Defeated by Co-ops in Ragged Intramural Game The Co-ops, strengthened by Mo-scrip, smothered the Thugs, a newly formed combination of the Men's club and the Revelers, 33 to 21, in a hoop frolic Monday night. Hall led the Thugs with six markers while Moscrip was high point man of the game, with ten points to his credit. The score at half time was 20 to 8 for the Co-ops. The game was loose with much wild shooting, both teams showing effect of the vacation and lack of practice. This was the first game for the teams in the second half of the intramural schedule, and the players are expected to bear down later in the season. o Beverly Hall elected officers for the winter quarter and Lois Weeks was re-elected to the presidency. Marie Clancy will again act as so cial secretary. Harlequin 5 Defeat Daniels Hall Squad In Intramural Tilt The Harlequins, broke the ice Wednesday night, by trouncing the Daniels Hall five, one of the league's leading teams of the first half season. Hammdns' 7 points in the first half kept the Harlequins out In front. The score at the half was 14 to 7." Mullins, flashy Harlequins guard, scored 8 points and put the game on ice for the Harlequin five, the final score being 25 to 10. Daniels Hall men did not show as well as they did the first half of the season, because they were without the services of several of their former players. The scoring honors go to Mullin of the Harlequins who made 11 points, and Ames of Daniels Hall who made 11 points.

The idea behind it is to prove that there are some sports writers in the country who are able to predict things correctly, whether you believe it or not. Now that the smoke of all of last year's upsets has cleared away, we will venture to make some prophesies of our own. We won't confine ourselves to the sport world, however, as we will predict' political and social events also. And now, before we make our predictions for the following week we would like to remark that if you have anything that you would like to know we will look into the future and give you the answer in the next week's edition of the Swede. Predictions for next week: 1. Washington will win two from Idaho. 2. The Vikings will lose to C.P.S. 3. The Northwest Viking intramural team will win from the Co-op. 4. The Frosh will win from Daniels Hall. 5. The Jayvees will win from Pay'n Takit. v We'll be seeing you next week! Frosh Team Takes Barton Hall Quintet By Score of 33-16 Intramural basketball opened strong this quarter with a rather wide margined victory for the Frosh over Barton Hall. The game was very fast and rough. Both teams looked good, but the superior offensive work of the Nielson brothers and Joe Hager, coupled with the stone wall defense furnished by Claypoole and Munson, proved too much for the Barton Hall boys. During the last period the Frosh were forced to play one man short, having no sub to fill Lou Nielson's place at forward when he went out on fouls. ' Despite this they succeeded in holding their lead, the game ending 33 to 16. Bill Nielson and Joe Hager ran a close race for scoring honors for the winners with E. Davidson ' leading the Barton team. Hager 9 F B. Millikan 4 L. Nielson 5 F E. Davidson 6 B. Nielson 10 C. G. Millikan 1 Munson 4 G Bagley2 Claypoole 2 G C. Davidson 1 Subs—Allan 2. With the W. A. A.

WASHINGTON Chairman Announces Drama Club Banquet To Be Held At Dorm Ice Cream, Leap Frog Feature: Part of Entertainment For Evening PROMISES EXCITEMENT Club Members Urged to Bring Guests From Outside Favorite actresses and actors of many Normal school plays will take a few hours off from their dignified scholastic lives and join the other children in an evening of ice cream, cookies, leap frog and dancing. The Drama club's annual banquet promises to be bigger and better than any yet given, according to Peggy McKay, president of the Drama club and chairman of the affair. Last year the so-called annual Drama club party became a biennial event' because of interfering activities and numerous postponements. Members are requested to forget their worries and studies for just one night, Friday, January 12, and join the fun as in days gone by. Rompers, hair ribbons and half socks will attire our young sophisticates and their guests. The Edens hall club room has been chosen for the scene of the festivities. Peggy McKay announced today, "Dinner will be served at 6:30 o'clock sharp and for only the small price of '35 cents a plate. If you can't make yourself young enough to feel that attending the party without a male escort would be beneath your dignity, ask your own escort. Bring an outsider. Bring anyone. . The more the merrier! We hope to drain the fountain of youth dry!" o % Astronomy Teacher Advises Star Study "Winter Sky Is Most Beautiful," States Instructor "One of these clear winter nights, if we should accidentally have a clear winter night, be certain to take at least a few minutes off from your work or play, and lift your eyes to one of the most beautiful sights in the world—the winter sky." This was the advice of Miss Leona Sund-quist, science instructor. The science classes are seeing the heavens in a new "light." Constella tions, unusually brilliant stars and planets are being studied, and oc casionally, between clouds, their places and positions in the skies have been located by the science 52 students. Twenty of the most important major constellations, including Ursa Major, Ursa Minor, Orion Perseus and fifteen of the larges stars, are being studied in their relation to the earth at various times during the day. Through such a course of study, the student is able to get some conception of the movement that goes on in the universe about him.

The committee promises that it will be a good dance and urges as many as possible to sign up. Tickets will be $1. o Arntzen on Board Intermediate Grade Clubs Are Varied Early Development of Initiative in , Child Is Achieved by Group Study T Y P I N G HOLDS INTEREST Model Aeroplane Building Group Added to List astronomical study. Interest and a curiosity for that phase of science is being stimulated throughout the grades. Miss Sundquist stated, "Children no longer need leave the grades with little or no understanding of the most common phenomena of the very universe in which they live." Edward J. Arntzen, chairman of the social science department of the Normal, has recently been appointed a member of the Bellingham library board. He will fill the unexpired term of Walter B. Whitcomb, who has just turned in his resignation. Monday evening the board of directors of the Y.W.C.A. elected Mrs. Herbert Ruckmick, wife of a faculty member, to membership on this governing body. Early development of the inclinations of the individual is a phase of child life which appears to be well begun in the organized club work of the intermediate grades of the Campus school. These clubs are arranged to meet the requirements of various types of children and consist of such arts as cooking, art, industrial arts, science, typing and rhythm. Each child is permitted to join the group of his own choosing; thus initiative is encouraged. The child is also allowed to change his choice each quarter; thereby a preference is developed. The cooking club at present comprises sixteen children, both boys and girls. This group, under the supervision of Miss Linda Countryman, has been having a little elementary cooking instruction and training in caring for materials. During the fall quarter the science group learned how to bend glass and make various colored inks. Similar work will be continued this quarter, under the supervision of Miss Eleanor Osborne. Typing, with Mrs. May Lovegren in charge, seems to hold the interest of these young children, some now taking it up for the second quarter, which makes it appear that their preference is well establshed. Very popular is the rhythm club, which is limited to boys and inclines more toward athletics, as it is practically tumbling to rhythm. The industrial arts club offers a PPPPP

XXXIV—NO. 34 WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Friday, June 19, 1936 Normalite By Joan Hoppe A cat may look at a king 'tis often said, and so, I view with humble and duly respectful eye those great souls who have dedicated their lives to the tender youth of America, and whom I am pleased and honored to call my fellow students. With awe and admiration I observe their nonchalance and poise, and dare to think that I may be like them when (or perhaps if) I grow up. In the classroom-while they speak with the firm conviction of the experienced, we, the inexperienced, sit open-mouthed, or only stutter hesitantly. They ask intelligent questions while we who really know so little find nothing that perplexes us whatsoever. They sit for endless hours in the peaceful twilight of the library, never glancing up when a door squeaks, a book drops into the shute, or someone whistles a careless tune under an open window. Lost in the perusal f a ponderous volume they pursue an elusive idea to its lair—they have acquired that priceless and vitally necessary attribute, concentration. In the halls—in assembly—in the campus there is a certain dignity, a certain purposefulness about their very bearing which distinguishes them from me and my often scatter- brained colleagues—just typical college students. • * * Ah—what a grand, what a glorious country we live in. It is flooded with great men, and good. There are so many public benefactors and friends of the people they can't even keep off each other's toes. They are filled to overflowing with human brotherhood and love of mankind. It maks them bitter to see their people so burdened with debt and taxation. They rise in indignation against the corrupt policies of petty politicians. They bade us fear not, for they have come to break the shackles—to make our city, our state, and our nation a better, yes and a safer place in which to live. Who are these great patriots that we have not heard of them before? They are what might be called quad-rennials— growing rank every four years. They are candidates, and their aspirations vary all the way from county commissionerships to presidency of the United States. This year's growth is now in the glory of full bloom. Too bad some of them weren't nipped in the bud. o Entrance Tests To Be June 23 and 24 June 23 and 24 are the dates for the entrance examinations. The college aptitude test will be given Tuesday, June 23, at 8:00 a. m., the achievement tests in arithmetic, English, and. spelling, Tuesday, June 23, at 4:00 p. m., and the achievement tests in history and penmanship Wednesday, June 24, at 4 p. m. Regardless of classification, all students who have not already done so are required to take the tests now given in this institution. Grades will be withheld unless these tests are taken. Students over'21 who are not applicants for diplomas from the school and transient students who expect to attend the summer quarter only may be exempted from all tests except the college altitude test and the physical and medical examination given under the direction of the Health department. v Assemblies For Summer Terms Now Scheduled Albert To Give Dramatic Recital Will Present Plays About English Queens Explorer Will Speak Harpsichord-Clavichord Recital of Special Interest Music, drama, and lectures will feature the summer quarter's assemblies, says Miss Ethel Church, secretary to President C. H. Fisher. Jean Ulrich, mezzo-soprano, is scheduled to appear June 23. Next Friday Sarah Truax Albert, interpreter of drama, will present scenes from four plays about English queens. She calls the recital, "Four of a Kind." Music lovers will be interested in the program scheduled for June 30, when Madge Quigley will give a recital on the clavichord and harpsichord. After a former appearance here, President Fisher said, "I doubt if we have ever offered a musical program that met with a finer response." Hollace Shaw, young California soprano, will give a concert Friday, July 3. A program of magic by Paul Fleming and his company is scheduled for July 6. One of the features of his program will be "Mango Tree," an illusion in which a small sprig develops in a few minutes into a full-grown mango tree. Carl Horthy, lyric tenor, will present a program July 14. A member of Admiral Richard E, Byrd's sec ond antarctic expedition, Lieut. Richard B. Black, will speak on his experiences for the July 21 assembly. This will be followed on July 28 by a lecture, when Royal Arch Gunnison will speak on the subject, "The Sore Spots of the World." Christina Tames, pianist from Toronto, Canada, will give a recital July 31. Two travelogues, "A Day in China," and "Alaska," and a recital by Hortense Yule and Chauncey Griffith will complete the summer's programs. Harry Kluge Heads Summer Publication Elected at the last spring quarter Board of Control meeting Harry Kluge, former managing and sports editor, this week assumed the duties of editor of the Northwest Viking for the summer quarter. Warren Toms was chosen business manager of the paper at the same meeting. Choosing from an experienced group, Kluge has selected as tentative staff the following: Mary Johnston, managing editor; Phyllis Robinson, news editor; Bob White, feature editor; Harlan Jones was chosen to edit the sports page, and Frances Pelegren has taken over the society column. Special staff writers include Joan Hoppe, former editor, Margaret Thon, former news editor and editor of the 1937 Klipsun, Helen Boothe, last quarter's co-feature editor and former exchange editor; Louise McBurney former society editor Dorothy Williams, Pat Wade, Marian Peterson, Rose Cassidy, and Oscar Svarlien. Kangley Reveals Year's Events Acknowledges Hours Spent Attending Father Divine; Congratulates Normal School Policies of Education "My most frivolous afternoon was spent in the presence of Father Divine and his band of ardent followers", said Miss Lucy Kangley of the English department, who recently returned from a year's study at Columbia university in New York. "These Harlem kings have gone the Americans one better and put rhythm in their religion", she added, "but their simple sincerity takes all the humor out of the occasion". Miss Kangley confessed spending five hours in this atmosphere and despite acute pangs of hunger refused the food served beween songs and testimonials. As the result of a competitive scholarship Miss Kangley spent the past year working on her doctor's degree at Columbia university. She enrolled in the institute of Arts and Sciences and thoroughly enjoyed the readings made by modern poets of their own works. A course in poetry under Robert Frost was a high spot in her year of study, as was one in the modern European novel directed by Joseph Wood Krutch. "Plays produced by the WPA federal theater project are breaking the reign of Broadway and making for a national theater", said Miss Kangley in talking of the season's current productions. She commented briefly on the slapstick presentation of Taming of the Shrew' and the performance made by Katherine Cornell in 'Romeo and Juliet'. "Despite the rain, I'm glad to be back and let me say that this western school is recognized throughout the nation," added Miss Kangley. "Orientation courses offered to our incoming freshmen are a worthwhile item not peculiar to all colleges", she stated, "and nowhere is a campus elementary school so well staffed". Miss Kangley concluded by rec-commending New York as an excellent vacation resort for teachers. "Travelers with a zest for travel but confined to the United States will find any part of Europe in New York". Prexy Attending Meet in Olympia Fisher Reports to State Board of Educatiin as Chairman Of Committee To attend a two-day session of the annual meeting of the State Board of Education, President C. H. Fisher will be in Olympia today and tomorrow. "I am especially interested in the report of the special committee on certification which will occupy considerable time at the meeting", reports President Fisher. He is chairman of this committee. Included in the program of business to be brought up are discussions on annual reports of elementary supervisors, high school supervisors, and vocational directors of agricultural, home economics, and trades and industries. Accreditation of high schools and junior high schools and accreditation of institutions for teacher training will also be discussed. In addition to the report of the special committee on certification, a report will be made of the special committee on certification for industrial arts teachers. Special cer tification cases and miscellaneous matters complete the agenda.

SOMETHING NEW? Well, Why Shouldn't We? Not many years ago, industrial conditions in the world made it imperative for labor to protect itself. The methods that commercial leaders used to enrich their particular, business showed no consideration for the "hired help". The firm owner worked his employees long hours, paid bare living wages, often worked his help in unhealthy, even dangerous conditions, hired and fired without regard to seniority rule, and always protected his own interests. ' And so labor organized. Unions were formed that entrenched every man in a staple, well-unified group. They were now able, with success, to cope with unfair conditions by using their only legal weapon— the strike. Teaching, however, belongs to a different category. We usually associate teaching as belonging to die professional vocation. Many of the professional groups, as medicine, dentistry, etc., have formed codes or standardized methods of conducting business. Still, teachers, who spend most of their time for the i»etterment of society, are totally unprotected. After years of extensive study in preparation to devote their lives to the good of humanity, they are paid a minimum living wage—their compensation often falling below that of a common laborer. Too often, education is at the mercy of machine politics. Too often, educators are classed as radicals because they strive for progress. And such being the case, it is only too logical that teachers should take time out and see what should be done. On®Stage and Screen There is a wide variety of pictures being shown at the local theaters this week-end. Irene Dunne is doing more than her share by appearing in two of the shows. She plays opposite Robert Taylor in "Magnificent Obession," a return engagement at the AVA-LON, starting Saturday, and is featured in "Show Boat," a first-run production at the GRAND. In "Magnificent Obession" Taylor portrays first, a worthless young scamp who gets saved from drowning at the expense of a doctor's life. He falls in love with the doctor's young widow, Irene Dunne, and learns his philosophy of life, which is "to make a good deed good, never accept payment". While resisting young Taylor's advances Miss Dunne is hit by a car and suffers permanent blindness. This causes Taylor to wake up. He continues his medical studies and becomes a brain and eye specialist, and wants to marry the girl but she leaves, thinking she might become a burden oh .him. Years later he finds her, down and practically out. He operates and restores her eyesight to make a .happy ending to this otherwise somewhat sad story. This has been acclaimed Miss Dunne's best performance by many critics while still others preferred her interpretation of Magnolia in Edna Ferber's longtime best-seller "Show Boat*'. Allan Jones plays the part of Ravenal, the Mississippi gambler, and does some singing on his own account as well as a couple of duets with Miss Dunne. The supporting cast includes Charles Winninger, Paul Robeson, and Helen Morgan. James Oliver Curwaods "Country Beyond" with iRochelle Hudson and Paul Kelly is being shown at .the AMERICAN on a double feature with "Remember %usb Night" starring Edward Arnold and Constance jcummings. Margaret Sullavan and Henry Fonda are •together again at the MT. BAKER in "The Moon's ^Their Home". On the same bill is an H. G. Wells 'thriller, "Things to Come". Here's a suggestion. Some nice afternoon leave your notebook in your locker, take out a single book, preferably a small one, and meander over to this library of ours. Go up three flights of stairs. You may take your time, and choose one of the 263 remaining seats in either a sunny or shady spot as you wish and settle into one of those arm chairs. As you sit there day-dreaming in the quiet, gaze at the row on row of books encircling the room. You might surprise yourself and find a book exactly suited to your taste, which you are invited to read lazily for an hour or so. Cookoo Twas a cold night-in-gale was whistling in the trees. Down in the meadow-lark, 'tis a poor little Irish pheasant lassie. She is moaning, "Alas, my last chick-a-dee." I quail when I think of my poor old father. What shall I give him for dinner? We ate the last of the mag pie yesterday and we have only one potato left. But I shall go parrot. She wren home rapidly because it looked li-crane. She told her poor jay-ded old father about the cbick-a- dee. "That's too bat," he said, and weak from hunger and cold he let out a strangled "hawk" (he was Cock-ney) and eagle-apsed on the floor. Panic-stricken, she towhee-m in by the fire and put an old sparrow mittens on his hand to make him warbler (she waz avligded with a bad gold). Not knowing finch way to turn she started down the street until she met someone and ostrich way to go to the king's palace. When she arrived she wren past the guard who tit-tered and said "What's thrush?" At last she stood before the throne. "What is robin your fair cheek of its roses, my child?" said the king. "Oh kingfisher'd come over and see what ails my poor old father. He is lying stork and cold on the floor—canary breath and I don't know vulture do for him. "Let's sea-gull," said the king, "owl see what I can do for you." So he called his son, the crown prince. "Son," he said, "dove into your For V-8 and macaw-1 haste to this child's home. And albatross that mud puddle oriole duck yoo in it. Fal-con I see you'll never be a gentleman, you little snipe." The prince looked down and without a flicker of an eyelash he was off. When they arrived the poor old man was raven and the hovel was about to burst into flamingo up in smoke. But they managed to save the old father, and the good king had a new home built for him and gave him a load of wook-pecker potatoes, and a cock-a-two. And the pheasant maid married the prince. Fin-ch World at a Glance By Harlan Jones —In which is discussed some messianic prospects other than the Townsend plan— Picture—a prototype of King Thor, large, strong, a member of the football-player's cast, square of jaw with level, blue eyes facing across a platform embossed with the map of the world a mild faced, little yellow man. The one representing rugged Republican individualism with the exchange dollar as the dominator of the universe, the other cooperation with our deity Christ, as the common denominator of all values. Speaking four to six times a day for one solid year in the United States to huge crowds, Kagawa stopped last week for a seminar in Seattle, one of the two places he touched on the coast. Bits from his life and then bits from his addresses. His father was a high official, his. mother, a Geisha girl, born illegitimately into a world of hate. Unhappy childhood. . . . Became a Christian and was disinherited. Goes to school, and nearly dies of tuberculosis. Goes to share the horrors of the slums. Is hounded by murderers and suspected by police.

The picnic at the Rocks on Field day held Thursday, June 4, was such a success that a plea has been made for another one. The picnic was held from 5:00 to 10:30 and was in the form of a salmon bake. The campcraft class pre pared the food and judging by the amount consumed did an excellent job. After the eats awards were made and songs sung. A "swell-er" time could not be had.

Carver is on a leave of absence while attending the summer session of the University of Iowa. As a start on the summer intramural schedule, Lappenbusch has called for basketball players to sign on the list in the coach's office or in the locker rooms. Six Teams Expected Prom these lists, captains will be chosen; then the leaders will choose their teams from the remaining players. Games will be played at 4:00 in the big gym and will continue through the first term. It is expected that at least six teams will take the floor the first of next week. During the second five weeks, a Softball league will be formed in the same manner. If enough students wish, a hard ball team may be organized. Although there would not be much of an opportunity for practise, games could be arranged with the University of Washington nine. A home and home series was arranged last summer with the teams splitting even. The Vikings also played a basketball series with the Huskies last summer and may arrange for present games if the hoop material looks promising. The Huskies walloped the Norsemen in both games last year but were given a scare in the return battle on the Pairhaven court. Other activities to be offered during the summer will be tennis, golf, badminton, and horseshoes. The tennis courts are open to the Normal students at all times, while golf enthusiasts are given reduced rates at the Lakeway course. Greetings, Summer Students!

Bellingham Club Tackles Tacoma Booster Baseball Team Resting Securely In Second Position By winning from the Tacoma Tigers, bottom team in the league, the Bellingham Boosters maintained its second-place position in the Northwest league. Last week-end the Boosters were nosed out of first place by the Yakima Indians, top-ranking league team. Last night the Boosters met all nations under the lights at Battersby field where the local games are played. Several former Normal students have played with the Boosters at various times. Last year "Boots" Wooten and "Si" Bolton were students at the Normal and were playing ball for the Boosters at the same time. Boyd Staggs, umpire, is a Normal graduate. Among other Boosters connected with schools is Art McLarney, shortstop and field manager, a teacher in Mount Vernon. Ralph Wilkie is owner of the Boosters. No games are played on Sundays because of Board of Education's refusal to grant the permission. Admission for the games is 40 cents.

We are glad to help them in their special interests and recreation," says Miss Ruth Weythman of the women's physical education department. "Miss Luella A. Weid, from the University of Washington and Columbia university, is here for the summer and shows much enthusiasm for athletics and the success of the summer sports." Although the WAA doesn't function officially during the summer months, many of the students who have been here through the year and students from other years are back. A table will be reserved in the Edens hall Dining room one day a week where those who are interested may exchange stories and discuss athletics. The day will be announced on the sports bulletin on the lower floor. Archery Starts An archery class has been planned for one afternoon a week, probably Thursday at 4 p. m., to which all women interested are invited.' Men who have their own equipment will be welcomed. "If enough interest is shown, an archery tournament will be held later in the summer," remarked Miss Weythman. It is more or less a tradition for the men and women to play baseball together on Wednesday afternoons. Arrangements can be made to procure horses for group riding if such a group is interested. "A golf tournament was held last quarter, through invitation of the men, which was a lot of fun, and the same could be done this summer," Miss Weythman commented.

"Although the number of speakers chosen to appear on the rostrum was necessarily limited, they were chosen as being representative of the different lines of thought on the campus, which up to now has found expression only among small groups." The speakers, Gordon Millikan, Ed Tomco, Bob Hartley, and Elmer Lindquis, spoke on topics related to campus and scholastic activities from the students' angle. "We believe that these topics should be discussed openly by both faculty members and students, and we hope to have more of these symposium discussions," Orloff stated. "I'm only sorry that faculty attendance at assemblies is not compulsory." Blue Triangle Plans Election and Pienic Appointment of a nominating committee for the Blue Triangle election to be held April 29 was the purpose of a special meeting in the Blue Triangle club house Monday. Members of the committee are Faye Wenzell, Anne Decker, Helen Klumb, and Florence Lund, president. A report of the social service committee was given by Margaret Win-terhalter. The report stated that 147 Easter cards were sent to people at the county home and the Cedars, tuberculosis sanitarium. The date for the Blue Triangle annual picnic to be held on Sunset hill was set for June 3. After making detailed plans for the play to be given April 22, the meeting was adjourned. Meredith's Novels Now- Offered to Sophisticates "The Amazing Marriage", "Harry Richman", and "Evan Harrington" are the George Meredith novels recently added to the library shelves. These novels should furnish an interesting appeal to the sophisticated students of the Normal school, according to Dr. A. C. Hicks, English instructor. "Meredith is a master of the art of sophistication and brings out a type of worldliness quite different from that of other authors," says Dr. Hicks. Acklen, Late Nominee, Leads Field In Number of Votes Cast In Election One-half Students Vote Tomco Comes Close in Race for Man or Woman Post Because of a last minute discus-sion of the election committee, this election will be considered a primary with the finals to include Taylor, Tomco, Acklen, and Padden, for the two posts. Bill Taylor and Helen Acklen were chosen four quarter representatives to the Board of Control in the election held ysterday. They will take office immediately in the places of Cliff Johnson and Arne Johnsen. Approximately one-half the students turned out to the polls. Acklen Surprises In spite of the fact that Miss Acklen was nominated by petition the last possible day, she received the largest number of votes cast for any candidate. Miss Acklen resides in Portland, Oregon, and is now in her sixth quarter of school. She has been prominent on social affairs and is at present the chairman of the Sophomore party. Anna Padden, the WAA candidate followed in second place, with Virginia Holm, Helen Hostetter, and Joyce Janson dividing the remaining votes. Tomco Makes It Close Taylor, a Fairhaven graduate, collected enough votes to lead Ed Tomco, of football fame, for the position of either man or woman representative. Taylor held a ten-vote margin over his W club brother. Anne Decker, Ed Angel, and Betty Swisher followed in the order named. Taylor is a home town boy and has attended Normal for five quarters. He's a miler on Sam Carver's track squad and managed the Junior Varsity basketball team. New Club Members Of Alkisiah Initiated Initiation of 11 new members took place at the regular meeting of the Alkisiah club held Monday evening at 7:30 p. m. in the club room.

Governor Martin Visits Bellingham BC Educators are Campus Guests; President Fisher Speaks In Vancouver Governor C. D. Martin made a short visit to this school Wednesday afternoon. Accompanied by the Board of Trustees and President C. H. Fisher, he inspected the P.E. building construction, stated that he was very well satisfied with the progress which is being made. Governor Martin has recently been to Washington, D. C, to confer about the Coulee dam project. He also visited the other Normals of the state during his trip. Other distinguished guests on the same day were President V. L. Denton, head of the Normal school at Victoria, B. C, and Mr. Campbell, Mr. Sullivan, and Mr. Reed of the Victoria Normal school faculty. -They spent the day visiting the school. President Fisher left for Vancouver, B. C, yesterday where he was a guest speaker at the annual convention of teachers from the province of British Columbia. He addressed the conference on "Significant Education Trends in the States." . o New Officers Elected By W Club; Boggess Discusses Vaudeville Ed Tomco was elected president of the W club at the meeting called Tuesday by President Bill Frender. Arne Johnson was chosen to serve as next year's vice-president, and Sheldon Stutz was elected secretary-treasurer. They will take office next year. Hurley Boggess, chairman of the W club vaudeville committee, reported that the vaudeville is scheduled for the evening of Monday, May 4. According to Boggess, plans for stunts and skits are rapidly taking shape. Coaches Sam Carver and Charles Lappenbusch also attended the meeting and each gave a short talk on the aims and ideals of the W club. Hall PlansDate Back to 1924 Student Union Building Possible With Added Student Fees Says Prexy "A Student Union building isn't anything new", says President C. H. Fisher. "In 1924 the school had a building plan for a Student Union building". The plan is in the hallway on the first floor outsde the president's office. "In this building would be concentrated all student activities and social life. The chief problem connected with any such project would be its financing. We must consider that there are other buildings far more pressing and any money we can get from the state must be used for the most urgent needs. Anyone would say that our need for a PE building comes before our need for a Student Union building. There are also one or two other buildings which will have to come before the proposed Student Union. School Needs Urgent "We are sorry it takes so much time to realize some of these things but we know of no other way that buildings can be erected at a state institution. Even the University of Washington hasn't been able to construct a Student Union building. There is no question as to the need for such a building and "there is nothing I'd like to see more than the provision for it. However, when we get money from the state for buildings we must convince the governor and the state legislature that what we're asking money for is the most urgent need the school has. "The only other possibility is some other plan of finance that would be worked out by the associated, students. Any plan of this sort would probably involve additional student fees. I do not believe that this is a good time to add to student fees for building purposes". . o Musical Tea Furnishes Funds For Scholarship To complete the $300 scholarship fund the ways and means committee of the Bellingham Women's Music club gave a Musical tea Monday afternoon in the lounge of the Bellingham hotel. A contest will be held on the third of May in which eleven contestants will compete for the scholarship. Several students from the Normal are to be entered, two pianists, Helen Griffith and Margaret Foster, and two violinists, Maxine Moldren and Margaret Collett. The judges will be from out of town.

It was mentioned in the symposium of last Friday that teacher-training schools are inclined to become so engrossed in the manufacture of teachers that individual problems and interests are almost entirely submerged. Courses are ground out in routine manner covering definite amounts of material in a scheduled time, allowing no freedom of discussion and questioning on particular points or topics of special interest to the student. Page after page of material is ploughed through just for the sake of being able to say, "I have had European history from 1500-1900 and literature from Shakespeare to Shelley." Frolicl^ir^ OPEN DISCUSSION FAVORED Proved absolutely in last week's assembly was another point, that students are overwhelmingly 'in favor of open discussion meetings. The panel type of discussion has worked out very satsfactorily in many groups and there is no reason why it should not be equally as successful here. With certain leaders ready to give points on opposing sides of a quetion there are possibilities for very interestng and lively discussions on many controversial and timely topics. Mon Orloff pointed briefly in his introductory address last Friday the distinctly opposing aims of football and student union. He stated that as long as football is considered of major importance in the program and to the standing of this school there will be neither sufficient funds nor interest for the maintenance of a student union. It is up to the students to choose which they will have, the more intellectual type of school activity, or the more popular, rah-rah, college type. RIPPLES MAY WIDEN If the ripples begun by the recent symposium on the previously untroubled sea of student opinion continue to widen it may prove that the pendulum is on its return swing, and that having reached one extreme of thought we are being carried toward a more intellectually curious and open-minded attitude. Whether the ideas put forth are acceptable or not, they have given us, for a time at least, a great deal more to think about than many of us have recently had and tend to prove that we are not entirely a group of intellectually dormant and short-sighted egotists. o The Forum EDITOR'S NOTE: Forum welcomes your suggestions and constructive criticisms. We hope students and faculty alike will use this column to express their ideas about the school and any school activity. Contributions should not exceed 200 words and must be signed.

In the democracy of ancient Greece the forum played a large part. I believe historically you will find the forum used only in democratic societies. In early American history, in New England, democracy was fostered through the town meeting, which was a public forum. At various periods in our American life we have made use of some type of public forum, and there never was greater need in our country than there is today for the gathering of people in public discussion of our common social and economic problems. Public discussion, properly directed, will develop the pros and cons of any question. Such discussion will separate the wheat from the chaff, or truth from propaganda, and will bring into the open the real issues. To make people aware of their real problems and that there are no penacets for all their ills is a task that the forum can perform* Such forums are needed in every community in our country and they are also needed in the community life of students. Students, Faculty to Participate Students have their own problems peculiar to student life and many of these problems are related to the larger community life. Students have two means at their disposal for public discussion: one through an assembly of the student body, and the other through student opinion as expressed through the school paper. Both means have their place and should be used. The forum is nothing new with us for at different times we have used this means of discussion. I am glad to see a renewed interest among our students to use the forum for expressing student opinion. I am not overlooking the fact that the members of the faculty are an essential part of our school community. The faculty shares with students in the problems affecting our school life. I hope that provision will be made for faculty participation in any forum discussion. C. H. FISHER, President. _o Still with fond memories of high school rip-snorting, hilarious heydays revolving in their tender minds, the omnipresent frosh will strut their stuff in a great big way tonight. Beauteous bright crepe paper hats, noisy blah-blah horns, punch (with a punch—on account of the frosh make it with their own 99.4% pure hands), a mysterious entertainment feature during intermission, topped off the scintillating presence of Doc Cederstrom and Miss Ullin—and the evening is complete. The freshies even plan to have an orchestra! It should be a red-letter night for the freshmen—and at least .pink for the upper-classmen.

This is your WAA reporter bringing you the latest news in the world of sports. The big dog races take the center of the stage this week. Way out there in a secluded corner of the world, in a little wild, western village nestling in the mountains this unusual contest is taking place. From all over the countryside have come specimens of the most aristocratic doghood with the most lengthy pedigrees to be found the country over. The are being brought here by their expert trainers to contend in the big annual meet. Fat pups, skinny pups, tall pups, short pups, long-haired pups and bald pups —' every imaginable type of caninity is represented here. Notice how well they get along together — an excellent sign of good-breeding. Now the races are underway. With the grandstand on its feet and everyone elses the last pup straggles over the line Just a minute here — there seems to a little difficulty — there's a question being raised as to whether the daschunde in the pink sweater with yellow polkadots should be counted third since his hind legs are still coming around the third lap. Ah — I see they're going to measure him and if he's more than half way over the line he's to be counted in. We Repair All Makes of T Y P E W R I T E R S Remington-Rand 122 N.

Here we found a Sealyham with a Norwegian elkhound on one side and a French poodle on the other— all three chatting cheerly about the races, the probability of rain or the lightness and unusual texture of the biscuits (By Spratt). A number of welcomes and toasts followed, with entertainment by the hostess dogs, after which they all go to another kennel where they discuss dog-manners, what the well-dressed pooch is wearing this season, and the costs of attending canine college. Finally after a deal of tail-wagging and pow-wowing they are segregated by their trainers, leashed and sent on their way for the respective kennels. Their day is over for another year, by which time it is hoped many of them will be among the ranks of the hostesses.

This kid Alpaugh sure turned out to be a home run king when he cracked one of Bishop's fast ones on the nose for what looked like a grounder to shortstop, but due to the recent rains and Al-paugh's terrific power, the ball burrowed right into the ground, causing a little bump that looks like a robin's grave directly between third and second and almost on a straight line with the base line, where it will stay until the legislature passes a bill to repair the ball diamond, which needs it very badly.

LEE—PE reporter Four students were drowned in the swimming pool of the new PE building last Saturday after the Junior- Senior party. The boys had evidently partaken too heavily of the refreshments served, were seized with cramps, and slithered off into the murky oblivion of the tile-lined swimming pool. Blub. Campus day plans, involving a water carnival at Normal staged on Lake Whatcom, individual activities and two assemblies, were outlined to the Board of Control at their meeting Wednesday by Ruth Kulle, Campus day chairman. She announced that Bill Hussey and Agnes Martin are in charge of the swim fete; Burdette Miller, assembly; Roberts Thygeson, lunch; Chet Orloff, tennis courts; Don Wilson, ticket sale; Ed Tomco, clean-up; Leonard Carroll, parking and loading; Louise Vistaunet, dance; Bill Frender, patrol; and Homer Bor-roughs, cars. A program of sports [and entertainment has been ordered from 8 a. m. to 4 p. m. for May 1. I t 's too bad we haven't a piece of work to do; there's nothing students enjoy more than stalling on the job," remarkd Edward Arntzen, faculty member of the Board, in consideration of the plans. Manager Undecided With Coach Chuck Lappenbusch present, the Board again debated the value, duties and rewards of the athletic manager position. Board members expressed opinions that it would be justifiable only in so far as the manager could effect economy by policing of grounds at football games, enlarging of gate receipts, etc. Further discussion was tabled until next week. Mon Orloff announced that the Freshmen party will take the place of tonight's rec hour. -o Viking Cubs Initiated After Exciting Ordeal; Party Tomorrow Night Another eight students have survived the terrifying experience of the Viking initiation. Continuing the old tradition of initiating the future newspaper writers who are taking their first journalism, the Viking staff passed the beginners through the "grueling ordeal" yesterday afternoon at the Miller and Sutherlen print shop where the Northwest Viking is printed. After tossing their self-respect to the winds they were led from the campus down High street, through the city to the print shop, each tightly clasping a piece of string, under the direction of the sports editor. At their destination they, proceeded to the dreaded trip through "Terror Gulch", the short walk to the "mossy log" where their nerves were gently soothed and had their experience with the yellow type lice. Refreshments were served both during and after the initiation. It's only half over, however, and will be continued at the home of Joan Hoppe, editor, tomorrow night. Those being initiated are: Margaret Osier, Margit Olsen, Katie Mustappa, Mildred Richardson, Owen Lade, Clarence Soukup, Warren Toms, and Glen Meek. Racket Men Are Victorious Over Mount Vernon Collegians Last Monday Kidder Tops Golf List Holder and Johnsen Head Teams During Time Trials Because of the postponement of the University of Washington baseball game scheduled for next Monday, Coach Chuck Lappenbusch has arranged a practice game with the Bellingham Boosters to be played next Tuesday, April 21, at Battersby field. Lappenbusch has hopes of getting his team straightened out during the game and will probably find a winning combination from those turning out. The probable lineup will likely include Clifton or Stutz, catching; Bishop, Oppelt and Smith doing the chucking: Chorvat, Van-derGriend, Kvinsland, and Dzurich at the other infield posts. Alphaugh, Cook, Clifton, Dzeidzic, and Iverson are likely prospects to take care of the outfield posts. McKenzie Out Max McKenzie, veteran catcher, is unable to give full justice to his studies, work, and ball playing, and will be little seen on the diamond this year. Clifton, besides playing in the outfield is counted on to catch at times to relieve Stutz who is also handicapped by student teaching. A former Whatcom high school athlete, Clifton is also turning out for track in his spare time and is expected to play football next fall. Students Welcome All students who wish to see the team in their first performance of the year are invited to stroll across town and see the game Tuesday. The Boosters boast a strong hard hitting lineup composed of older and more experienced players than the Vikings and are expected to give them some opportunity to chase a few balls in the outfield. day in the slow time of 21.5 seconds for 180 yards. Golf will make its official debut in the Viking sport scheduled at 1:30 this afternoon when the Normal golfers meet the Pacific Lutheran college squad on the Lakeway golf course. ^ Phil Kidder will hold down the number 1 position, Pat Jacpbson second, and Bob Lindsey third. Jerry Jacobson will control fourth position and Manford Chase, fifth. Jerry Jacobson was on the bottom rung of the ladder for one day this week after Homer Morris defeated him in a match played Tuesday, but Jacobson retaliated by regaining the position on Wednesday. Morris is now automatically n the last rung of the golf ladder and will not get a chance to play in the matches today. According to Coach Sam Carver, the men who are representing the school this afternoon are not necessarily the regular squad. There is still a chance for a change in positions by means of team members' challenging each other. Training School Assembly Uses Original Theme Animal Plays And Nature Poems Presented by Second Grade; Booth Assists Syracuse has the answer for cleaning up student elections. A self-styled "vigilante committee" entered the dean's office, carried away the ballot box and threw the votes into the furnace. What could we do to the voting machines? With Arne Johnsen and Don Holder selected as captains of the two teams, two crack squads are squaring it off on the oval circle field, yesterday and today between 3:00 and 4:00 o'clock. The two captains picked their men from the candidates for the 1936 track squad. The purpose of this melee, which might be termed a dual meet between the forces of Holder and John-sen, is to give Coach Sam Carver an idea of the strength of his cinder lads and the probable men to use in the forthcoming Mount Vernon Junior college meet. Meet Thursday The Vikings will clash with the Collegians next Thursday, April 23, on the home track. The Norsemen should take this one in stride. There is a possibility that all events will not be held due to the inexperience of the Junior college squad. Old man Bad Luck dealt Carver another bad hand, when Hube Finch, star quarter-miler, decided he would rather place slippers on the Madame's feet than pound the cinder path. This nemesis has grabbed off several of Carver's prizes and has somewhat dimmed brilliant PPPPP

An elementary school teacher couldn't have had worse "problem children'.-, and. a.veteran couldnt have squelched.them more successfully. ./ Rumor has it that our esteemed faculty' members are nothing but a groiip -of ^practical 'jokers at heart.

Syarlien s»ysi "No- wonder that the: English can't.see the point to American jokes, when 'there usually isnt'"anyw;: ;"'."'.' An mterestrng'suhlect for discussion is the question, "Is college a farce?" Does' the average student let the social aspect of -college life overshadow his academic work? There is rib Question but that some stttdehter are 'here for recreation only, and that others are only Interested in studying. We hear that there 'is'"a.happy medium ~ somewhere, where trie person can have a good tmte while getting the maximum of henefit out of his work. Many students are of the opinion that more opportunity should be given for group discussion of modern problems. If the Board of Control project :to secure a place where .students qan meet and hash out .the ^ world's affairs succeeds, we will be on our way toward reaching this' elusive balance between fun and scholasticism. Someone we once knew remarked, "A good place to stop your column is the piace where you begin to ask yourself, 'What else can I write' " w Women, Will Take Initiative At Leap Year Hop .

Two of the. speakers spoke for the 'affirmative' side and the other two spoke for the negative. After the discussions, Horace G. Rahkopf, professor in ' the division of speech in the English department, summed up; the arguments on both sides. . . The audience : Was permitted . to ask questions when the talks were completed^ i The "discussion !f allowed the .parliamentary- symposium method.rather than the traditional team debate. The aim of these discussions carried on by the. students is to give information necessary for clear un-present .fundamental issues, view-points and solutions. At an, asserhbly jlast year students from this^saihe department at the university ' . discussed, limiting of armaments. The group that spoke this morning visited.in Europe last year, conducting ^discussions there; Public Mihded Citizens To Aid Officers In Traffic Regulations; Students Warned To cooperate with police department in enforcing traffic reulations, a group of 30 citizens of Bellingham have pledged themselves to aid in any way possible. The names of the members of the group have not been revealed. The group feels that because of the terrfic toll of life and serious injuries taken by careless driving, the automobile driver must be made to feel his responsibility. It is reported that the group will lend their assistance in reporting traffic violations in both the city and in Whatcom county. The spokesman for this committee pointed out that improvement in driving offers the only hope for cutting down the enormous number of deaths and serous injuries sustained each year from .traffic accidents. Traffic authorities estimate that 90 per cent of the automobile drivers are normal, prudent, and careful. It is among the 10 per cent that the reckless and incompetent are found and this 10 per cent must be roused to their sense of responsibility before satisfactory progress can be made, reports the group of citizens.

"It is to be such an improvement over the last book/tftat Self-Starter, just doesn't sound right. We'll tell you more about the contest! later on." .At the meteing o f the Women's League-commission last Wednesday afternoon • many ; suggestions were made for this revised book.

Pleas, threats, appeals to decency, intelligence, and courtesy, in fact every possible method of persuasion but bribery has been used in a vain attempt to remedy the assembly situation. The faculty and the Board of Control at present are puzzled as to a new approach to this high-schoolish problem, although it has been suggested that a conduct test be included in the entrance examinations. Perhaps the Board should send for a few pamphlets on the discipline of the very young child. Maybe we are one of those nervous youngsters who doesn't eat his crickly, crackly, crumbly, crunchies every morning. After the situation last Tuesday there's bound to be a new attack made before very long. So be prepared. It might.be a good idea to bring tin pans to pound in assembly just to make sure that neither you nor anyone else hear a single note of the concert. o For Rent—One Wrecking Crew Too late, someone has thought of a use for the Men's club It could have ben hired out under the Better Housing program, to tear down old buildings.

Tips For Movie Fans By Bob White If you enjoy exhibitions of hilarious activity bordering almost on the insane, then you're a Marx brothers fan, and for you we have good news. The Marx brothers' latest vehicle "A Night At The Opera" opens tomorrow night at the American theater, and is one of the best demonstrations of Marxian madness ever released upon an unsuspecting public. Ever since the release of "Cocoanuts", their first big hit, the Marx brothers have been rated high in the entertainment world, but in this latest release play some scenes which are far ahead of their previous efforts. Why, that one scene in the stateroom of the boat where the stowaways—but you'd better see that for yourself. Incidentally, the song "Alone' which has been so popular for the past few months is the . theme song of this picture. ! On the same bill will be shown "Thunder Mountain," Zane Grey's recent western story, featuring George OBrien as the big, rough he-man who falls for the eastern girl who falls for—here, here, enough of this. One of the best books published within the past Jew years is the "Magnificent Obsession". If you've read the book, you'll be glad to hear that the movie version of this fine story J s opening tonight at the Grand theater, with Irene Dunn and Robert Taylor in the stellar roles. This film follows the book plot to a surprising degree, so if you've read the book and enjoyed it youll iike the film. If you don't know ; the story, you'll still like the film. Music lovers, attention! Lily Pons, nationally known soprano, makes her first screen appearance in "I Dream Too Much," showing at the Mount Baker theater until Sunday;. On the same bill Dickie Moore.and Tdm Keens are playing in •'Timothy's Quest". Sunday, that.prince of pantomime, Charlie Chap* •Un,:;wfll be seen in his latest play "Modern Times." also at the Mount Baker theater. In this picture, his •i first in five years, Chaplin has permitted his voice ; to be recorded for the first time in a scene in which he sings, which is ^coming out of the silence in a big, , ; _ - tj^-£ •--• •••«*»•"•'• " •••:/ ; - ' ; . .

Next should come the schot-tische. One, two three, hop; one, two, three hop; step hop, step hop, step hop, step hop, (turning) repeat. At our dances why not do some of these? You all know them. Let's get most sociable and do a Virginia reel, or a square dance to Round and Round the Vinegar Jug. How about a brownie? "Swing your partners!" Nobody cares who nor where nor when. It might be up in the Viking office, even. All we need is some one to start it. There couldn't be anything like individual interruptions of Brahms Waltz No. 1. Just do what the music tells you to: Leap run — and round and round. It's a dare. Happy Hollers A boxer's epitaph on a grave outside Normal gym: "He couldn't punch his way out of a wet paper sack".

Slightly pink ants, instead of the usual red variety, will haunt college picnics this year. Looks like colleges are getting rid. of the red element. Too bad we can't get basketball out of the same element. This started out to be symposium, but I never finished it. so I guess 111 call it "The Unfinished Symposium". More Leaps— Into What? Once upon a time there was a man named Caesar—give thanks to him, girls, he's beginning to go up in my estimation as a man of great discernment. It seems that he gave us our joyous Leap Year—or do you know the value of that particular time for the feminine gender? It has given us a new method of attack, thusly: First you. ask the man of the moment for his hand. If he refuses you; his hand he is supposed to present you with something else, say, a dress or a fur coat, or maybe even an automobile. Dont you think it's aa ideal method to acquire a winter wardrobe? Or should I say spring outfit—that's far better, for in the spring a young man's ideas run toward romance arid such. Oh, dear, I forgot myself. Why let love get in the way of a monetary arrangement? But, what if they should aecept in order to get v out of buying us a knick knack or two? Horrible thought!

Viking Sports SEE THE SMOKER NEXT MONDAY .. LOOKING IT OVER.. By Lloyd Nelson .. r. i i' Woe is me! .Here it Is time for Looking It Over again and not much that is worth looking over; it shoukLall be over-looked. Hrowever, to keep any real scandal monger from taking my job as sports editor I will try to give you some of the sports high-lights of the week. The first shower-room key-hole 1 chanced to look through, who should I see dressing for the Varsity basketball team but Bill Ames. It's rather late in the season to start turning out but the idea sounds good to me, as Coach Lappenbusch badly needed spare men in last night's game With Ted Dziedzic still laid up and Dick Carver joining the grand-stand sitters by ruining his Norman Bright, the far-famed ex-bright light of Sam Carver's track hopes, once again broke into the country's headlines when he burned in the fastest time ever set by an American in the 5,000 meter race. In an indoor race, Bright made the fast time of 15 seconds flat. The race was run in New York city. Bright, upon whom Carver once based all his track team's hopes, attended Bellingham Normal in 1928, 1929, and 1931. While a student here he managed to break all . , • I j tn-normal records in the mile run, leg on the varsity s eastern trip, last gt; t n e s a m e ^ n m w h i c h ne j u st night's game looked rather dark for smashed American records recently. Norman Bright Places Normal On Map Again Former Light of Bellingham Track Team Makes High Time in 5000 Meter Run Norsemen Handed Defeat By Speedy Teams With Help Of Old Man Tough Breaks Ellensburg, Cheney Trim Norse In Wild Struggle As Lappenbusch Hits Jinx; Carver Collapses us even before the starting whistle blew. If any more first-string men get laid up I guess I'll resign as sports editor and start training myself. At last the long-looked-for smoker is looming1 on the sporting horizon. Almost everyone read about, and heard about, the up-and-coming boxing class, but so far very few people have actually seen the would-be pugilistis in action. This next Monday night spectators will have an opportunity to see how mean a mitt some of our future school teachers can sling:. Trueman Kennedy seems to have high hopes for some of his foundlings. Here's hoping his expectations are not ill-founded. Coming back to the deficiencies in our varsity basketball team, Lappenbusch might find some good material in some of the players taking part in the district tournament next week at Lyndenl If there are any more players in this little town as good as one of the Viking hoop-sters acquired there, it would be worth the Normal's time to offer a bid on a couple of them to fill in some vacancies that have been created on our team. Skiing is becoming more popular all the time, judging from the en thusiasm shown on the campus the other day. Poor George Dack, head gardener, was running- around like a chicken with his head cut off, vainly trying to save the lawn. But the skiers had their way and a good time was had by everyone—except, perhaps, Dack. Enrollment in enginering and architectural courses in colleges of the United States during the past five years has dropped 35 per cent.

Playing before a large crowd, Sam Carver's Jayvees brought the curtain down on the 1936 basketball season by decisively trouncing the highly touted Mount Vernon Junior College five, last night in the preliminary, of the Bellingham-EUens-burg contest, in the Whatcom high school gymnasium. Led by a couple speedsters, and former high school mates at Pair-haven, Bill Taylor, and Dutch DeVries, the Normal squad took advantage of an early lead and held it until the blast of the final whistle. Taylor scored 12, DeVries eight, and Occie Starlund five. Ellinger, former Mount Vernon high school ace, offered the only resistance for the Junior College boys. He gathered 12 of his team's 19 points. The game was decidedly rough with both squads taking part in floor polishing. As was seen in the last half when Olson, rugged guard, shouted "hey" to Morns Tarte, Jay-vee sub, who had the ball. Tarte threw it to him, and then realizing his mistake, amid the ripple of heckles from the feminine group, dove at Olson and neatly planted him on the maple, with a sweet body block. Evidently Mr. Olson knew not of Tarte's football career. Bellingham 20 Ellensburg 23 Carver 7 .„ lt; ~.F Drovetto 2 V.Griend 2 JP......... Bunstine 10 Phair 4 C Hall 1 Dombroski 5 G Foust 4 B.

Wild Game Played In the wildest basketball game of the year the Ellensburg Cats took the Vikings to camp 23 to 20. The game was played with one referee who was unable to handle the assignment. Thursday, February 20, the WWCE team came to Ellensburg with the intention of repeating its homecoming football triumph. The slow start of the game coupled with the great number of fouls fljas enough to start the Normal ship on its road to defeat. Ellensburg Team Tall The tall quintet from Ellensburg had enough speed and scoring ability to outfoul the Vikings and give the home team a 3 point advantage at the end. Bunstine, Hull, and Bossma, all well over 6 feet 3, were able to get the tipoff and retrieve the ball under the basket, thus giving them a decided advantage. Carver played good ball until he was injured in an unfortunate fall. Carver, it was found, had suffered a broken cartelage in his left knee. Without the services of Carver the team lost ground and after two baskets by Foust and Holl the game ended. Vikings 23 Cheney 59 Carver ...JP Kerns 11 B.

The Cheney squad seemed unable to miss the hoop in its home gym; West and Rebensdorf being especially effective around the foul circles. Carver started the game for the Norsemen but collapsed on the floor soon after the opening of the game. Lappenbusch replaced him with J. Pence and the combination seemed to work. The inability of the Vikings to check the speedy Indian forwards was the undoing of the Western team. Lappy Unlucky Phair and B. Pence were the only men on the Viking squad to click. Phair out scored his opponent, Eustace, and Pence showed up the Cheney team when getting the ball from the backboard. Stutz played a very heady game and Dombroski also aided the Viking cause with 6 points. AIT members of the traveling squad saw action in the Cheney point gathering spree. Coach Charles Lappenbusch saw his third varsity player out for the last game when Carver crumbled to the floor. Tough luck has been on Lappenbusch's trail all quarter, first Zambas, then Dzeidzic, and finally his highest scorer. Carver. WClub Fights Are Scheduled To Be Monday Kennedy Expects Good Showing From Boys He Coached This Quarter "Monday, March 2, is the date finally set for the W club smoker," says Truman Kennedy, boxing instructor. "Also," he goes on to say, "I expect to have some good matches, as the boys have shown lots of fight in their workouts." The bouts will be in the little gym at 7:30 p. m. The smoker includes eight matches, each consisting of three two-minute rounds. The lnie-up is as follows: Alexander, 127, vs. Baby-face Til-son, 138 ;Valinta, 132, vs. Johnson, 138; Torpedo Young, 158, vs. Two-fisted Taylor, 156; Nelson, 170, vs. Stuart, 168; Richards, 162, vs. Do-lan, 158; One-round Willis, 156, vs. Wilson, 152; Reichman, 198, vs. Wildcat Alpaugh, 195; Nilsen, 135, vs. Willison, 140. . Bat Bettelli, southpaw slugger, is definitely out with a broken nose which he acquired a couple of weeks ago when he tried to stop Wilson's terrific left in a workout. As Bettelli did his duty working out earlier in the quarter, a place has been reserved for him as a second. Coon is the other second.

Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, and British Columbia sent delegates to this convention and attained a record with 252 persons in attendance. A demonstration of badminton, played differently from Normal school courts, held Miss Weyth-man's attention a part of Friday morning. She also took out time to watch two-court basketball under the leadership of Carrie Brown, from the Washington State college. In the early afternoon she heard Marshall N. Dana, associate editor of the Portland Journal, give a paper on "Recreation and Community Planning in the Pacific Northwest", Miss Weythman terms this "an excellent piece of work". Later, she stopped in to see films of women's sports, paying particular attention to archery. At the state breakfast • Saturday morning a Washington physical education association was organized, of which Miss Wtyehman is a member. Emery Asbury of Tacoma gave his paper on "Athletics in Education" at 11:00 a. m., Saturday morning. "This'.

XXXIV—NO. 43 WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGMAM, WASHINGTON Friday, August 21, 1936 Normalite By Mary Johnstone There comes a time in the lives of most people when they think . they have discovered the cause Of the world's ills. The next step, of course, is i » discover a remedy for the situation. And the third step is to attempt to put the remedy into practice. Most people get to the first stage, a few to the .second while the third group is comprised Ofjthe Pelleys and Townsends of the -world. Wtth iiothing to do for the past several 'flays, but mull and philoso-nhixe, I have -found myself trying :^ tiiiij/^^%Waae^::- leete, and why things happen as they do. And my •conclusion is that unless human nature changes, things won't get much better, and they are likely to get a heck of a lot worse. It seems to me that there is only one way out, and that is through Education. And it can't be done in just, one .generation. Until the ma joilty.of people learn to be discrimi-natihg "and !t» think for themselves there Willbe wars, strikes, and riots. And mobs will continue to blame depressions on Hoover, the sun spots or the Jews. Education has an enormous responsibility. We dorii want to turn out a lot of half-baked citizens who think they are intelligent because they know the name and M^t^;^~^'ery]jn^J!n^Ae Pres*" dan^i ^ fbiimna for soap. Rather, may (hey know that they cant believe everything they read and hear, and that'-to err is human, even among teachers and textbooks. And that if they want to know the answers, they will Wave to figure them out themselves. And while we're on the subject of reform1-why can't something be done about some of the courses in this school which are dished out like hash because the instructors are so burdened with official duties that they can't organize their material? I'm not yelling at the teacher—in fact, I wonder how some of them can take it. For example there is a five-hour course which should have a natural appeal for every student in school. The material is fascinating. (That sounds pretty biased, but a good inany jftrfente think the same way.)'

They will hold office for the Autumn quarter of 1936; With the conclusion of this term Miss Hoppe will have served four quarters as Editor of the Viking that the by-law^ of the school Constitution allows one student to hold this office. Severn will be serving his first term as Business Manager of the Viking during this quarter. He has been working in the ad department of Montgomery Ward which gives him outside experience in the advertising .line." The salaries of their positions are: editor, 8 dollars and business manager, 7 dollars. The subscription rate on the Viking has been reduced from three dollars a year to one dollar. By this reduction it will make it less expensive for the graduating student who will teach next year to have the paper sent to him. This rate includes the cost of mailing the paper to, any: point; gt;in United- States, Canada, or Alaska-the subscriber so wishes. All subscriptions will be taken in the office of the Northwest Viking or from the present or future editor or business manager. _—.—_o— — School Zoologists Study Sea Bottom Completing a survey of forms of life associated with sea bottoms, the Science class under Ruth E.

EDUCATION VS. INTIMIDATION Prof. Samuel Eliot Morrison, Harvard historian, once thought there were some schoolteachers at least whom the teachers* oath laws could not affect. Those in the physics department, for example, or in the other nonpolitical fields. But now he has revealed himself a somewhat wiser man. A friend, he informed the Massachusetts League of Women Voters, teaches physics in the Boston schools. Recently he devoted his period to a discussion of the eclipse that has since then occurred. At the end of the class a pupil raised his hand. "Where can we go to see the eclipse?" It was on the tip of the teacher's tongue to say: Russia. But-suppose a boy in the class Was the son of a member of certain patriotic societies? Or of a certain type of politician? It might get around that Mr. So-and-so was advising his students—yes, actually urging them—to visit the source of American sedition on the subtle pretext of looking at an eclipse! The climax of the story may seem preposterous to some. The teacher thought better of using the word "Russia," and dismissed the class. It might be said that so timorous a public servant deserves scorn rather than sympathy. But not by one who understands how intimidation works. This teacher was not so much a coward as a realist. Like other teachers, he no doubt has seen his words time and again misquoted by pupils. Visits from irate parents and complaints to the principal which can be traced to some twisted remark, are common occurrences. , Hence the extreme caution, which is less likely to be the exception than the rule, under a regime of open or disguised red-baiting. Teachers as a group recognize only too well that a distorted statement, however innocently inspired, can make all sorts of trouble for them. This is the working of intimidation. And in Massachusetts, at least, the testimony of the teachers' oath advocates leaves no doubt that their object is to suppress what they define as sedition, not merely to put an innocuous oath on the lawbooks. A teacher has no alternative to the most extreme caution. And if such discretion caused a teacher of physics to avoid all appearance of advising pupils to visit Russia, what warping of free education must there not be in the classes on government and sociology" CUT-OUTS "Those who think only of themselves have but little or nothing to think about." Creme De Lecture First take a lecture. Then boil it down and remove the froth and gas from it by constant stirring. Skim it, strain it thru a wet towel and serve hot or cold, according to the tastes of the examiner. Dumb Dora stood on the cliff watching the revolving beacon on a lighthouse. "How very patient those sailors are" she exclaimed, "the wind has blown out that light at least a dozen times, and they still keep lighting it again." THERE is equality left in the old world after all. Any little European boy has a chance to grow up and some day become an unknown soldier. APPARENTLY the only time the League of Nations can stop a war is when there isn't going to be one anyhow. LISTEN, William, conservative Democrats think a Hearst third party would be a hearse party. "Famed marksman has job shooting at film stars," The amazing thing is that he gets paid for it. Point of View —In which, kind and long suffer-f ering public, we make a quiet claim deed for this column. Eleven weeks of Summer school and the roar of Miller-Sutherlen's presses stop until the corn-husking Freshman go away to college to play football. We return to the familiar smells and noises of the classroom.— Being aware of my political destiny we must bruise along with our slogan, "Long Live Democracy," even in the face of that. Today we shall have to carry on. What with the P.-I. eating its own ink. Such a bother. Teaching which elaborately ignores Communism and Fascism, which shies away from a candid appraisal of the various competing forms of government, is especially perilous in this era of rapid change. Ignorance is the most fertile breeding ground for alarm. So it is that teacher's oath laws tend toward an uneasy, suspicious public, the more easily stampeded into panic by political opportunists. It is not the better part of patriotism to render its people so vulnerable to bogies. Editorial from Christian Science Monitor, daily newspaper published in Boston. Park Benches for the Pimby-Pamby Contemplating the exigencies found in the cloistered realm of American Magazine tradition. The Histro-eptics of the gilded age. I ponder deeply the way to continue these simple virtues of brain and brawn over the park-bench stage of the social crysolis. One of the finest traditions of our forefathers in jeopardy. And this is pur last issue. Time was when the thousand employees of a big packing house saw the country lad with the glow of health in his cheek come and ask the boss for a job and looked him straight in the eye every minute, they knew he would sweep his way to the presidency. But not any more. Democracy must rule the day— We Must Carry On Now way back in History about the time of the "Big Fish Fry" in Green Pastures the first Democratic quality that each and every human regardless of race, color, creed or previous condition of servitude, had a soul. The next step of democracy was the Revolution of 76 in the new world, when the Americans fought for the political rights of Englishmen, and got them. Now we face the only alternative to communism or the loss of our other two steps by fascist property control government. The next step is more parks like "Deception Pass," more post offices, more TVA's so that the free and equal people can afford to contribute more than a Tax Burden to his brother capitalists. Through economic leisure time he could probably become the individual necessary to possess these fast slipping American virtues. The Last Will There is a lot that hasn't been said. Either by Point of View or yourself. Education may be able to lead the mobs away from Dr. Town-send, Lemke, Father Coughlin, the Liberty League. After attending a school for a certain period of time, a student naturally develops opinions which, if of little value, nevertheless, may be constructive. In this last summer issue of the Northwest Viking I should like to air a few views. How About a Fraternity? The housing problem for girls in our college is well solved by the facilities of Edens Hall. The boys, however, have to find boarding places without organization or method. I say, "How about a fra ternity?" THANKS "This is the biggest reason 1 came back to school," he said when I gave him his Viking pin.

Squads Achieve Objectives; Jap Swim Team Beaten; Huskies Win Looking It Over Contributing a historic chapter to world sport from three standpoints —attendance, competitive achievement, and controversial by-products, the 11th Olympiad closed last Sunday. The most serious disruption in international relations was the abrupt departure of the Peruvian team in protest against a decision against their soccer team. It is conservatively estimated that | at least 4,000,000 spectators witnessed all or large parts of the spectacle during the 16 days that it lasted. The main Stadium, seating at least 100,000 people, was filled at least' once and sometimes three times each day, even the rainy raw weather did not seem to dampen the enthusiasm. Hitler did not miss a single day's performance and wherever he went there was sure to be a large crowd present, regardless of the attraction being offered. Last Tuesday, Joe Louis proved to any unbelievers that he was defl- Initely not through when he smashed worn-out Jack Sharkey to, the canvas in three rounds. Not that anyone expected he would lose, but he showed the same old killer instincts that crumpled so many opponents but failed to appear in his Schmel-ling match. And this writer would bet on Louis again. It MUST have been a mistake last time. How,the softball league blew up will be told in three installments starting next week.

Chet took the first two games by playing swell ball. Nobody could have taken him. Then Joe started hitting them where they counted and went on to win the match. Which is character- It looks like Alpaugh and the Reeves brothers let themselves go in the Husky-Viking baseball brawl last Tuesday. Alpaugh says he doesnt know what was wrong with him except that it might have been those shingles that Bill Ames shoved down on his head Tuesday noon.

Swim meets are now in order of the day. Looks like Roosevelt is doing some good with his New Deal, after all. The answer to the question, "Who won the Olympics?" as usual cannot be given satisfactorily to all concerned due largely to the way the various nations score the results, there being no official scoring system. Germany collected more oak trees for team and individual performances as well as more gold, silver and bronze medals than any other nation, for places won in events ranging from art exhibitions to the equestrian finale. Although the United States carried off team honors in only six competitions, compared to eight for Germany, they achieved their objectives in the main events of the meet. They registered the most spectacular men's track and field performances of any American team since 1912, besides retaining the eight-oared rowing, and beating the Japanese swim team.

Fishermen are reporting excellent catches of salmon at Point Lawrence and at various other places on the sound and also on the upper Skagit river. Prospects are considered favorable for excellent fishing the remainder of this and most of next month. Several displays of salmon have been shown at various sporting goods stores around the county. One display at Lynden recently consisted of two fish, one weighing 48 pounds and the other weighing 40 .pounds. Both were caught on the upper Skagit river. Dr. Moyle P. Cederstrom of the English department and a party of friends from the middle west went out to Point Lawrence last week and brought back five big salmon. Fishermen who have been fishing on the sound for years comment on the increase in popularity of the salt water sport. They say it is not at all unusual to find 40 or 50 small boats- around Point Lawrence now, whereas formerly you would find only one or two. Weythman Planning New York VacationI***£, Bob Pelletreau of Pasadena, California, took high honors when he defeated Joe Hartz in the Northwest Washington tennis tournament which took place on the Bellingham Normal School courts. The score being 3-6, 6-1, 6-4, 6-4. Pelletreau played a sounder game but the last two sets were very close and stubbornly contested affairs. By Page of Seattle gave a good exhibition of sharp shooting when he won a three-set victory over Pelletreau to get the junior championship, 6-3, 0-6, 6-4. Fisher, Shangle Lose Page teamed with Pelletreau and flashed a smooth working combination to win from Chuck Fisher and Ladd Shangle for the men's doubles title. Page arid Pettetreau piled up a 6-2, 6-0 lead before they were checked. The scores were 6-2, 6-0, Reeves .Brothers Spark Vikings With Heavy Hitting Attack; Alpaugh Stars McMartin Fans Many Thorlakson Shines for University With* Timely Homer Led by the heavy bats of Alpaugh and the Reeve brothers the Beling-ham Normal baseball team repeated their last week's victory over the University Huskies by a score of 8 to 6 Tuesday afternoon on Waldo field. McCartin pitched good ball during the whole game and struck out 12 men/ Jack and Bill Reeves started the fireworks in the first inning where Jack singled, stole second and scored on Bill's double. Alpaugh, clean-up man, smacked a home run into the nursery pit, bringing in Reeves and chalking up 3 good ones for the first inning. Miss Ruth Weythman of the Physical Education department is going to New York during September to visit relatives and friends. Among them will be Miss Winnie Spieke and Miss Rifa Dick former WSNS faculty members. In Chicago, Miss Weythman plans to see some manufacturers of women's PE costumes. She will select gym togs and swimming suits to be used when the new building opens this fall. Miss Weythman says that the PE department will then charge a fee of one dollar and a half and furnish suits, "towels, and laundry service, thus making it possible to have them all alike and, "above all," clean. The first college cheer is credited to Princeton students, who got the idea from an unknown private of he Seventh Regiment of New York. Seattle's No. 1 woman player, Miss Evelyn LaMotte, played a very steady and accurate game and won over Miss Helen Wright also of Seattle. She won in straight sets, 6-4, 6-4. Mrs. Wright paired with Rhoda LeCocq of this city for the women's doubles. They defeated their opponents, Suzanne Cissna and Kay Livesey, 6-2, 6-3. Miss LaMottee had her inning again when she paired with Ladd Shangle of Bellingham to defeat Miss Cissna and Chuck Fisher, who have held the Northwest mixed doubles title for four years. This was the greatest mixed doubles match in the tournament's history. They won with a score of 7-5, 15-13. Douglas LeFebvre of Seattle won permanent possession of The Herald's boys' challenge trophy when, he defeated Will Pedlar of Vancouver, B. C, 7-5, 6-2. He won the event for the second consecutive year. The University had three men on bases with one out. McCartin fanned Sutton and Frye for a scoreless inning. Both teams failed to score in the second. The Huskies rallied in the third inning when Thorlansort brought Jensen in with a home run and made the score three to two. The score changed in the fifth, when Bill ---------- Northwest Viking - 1936 August 21 - Page 4 ---------- •«u:i WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM.

The scaffolds are now being taken down and exterior surface coated. The interior has yet to be plastered and finished. The gymnasium will be unique in several respects. It will have a ceiling of ' twenty feet. According to Coach Lappenbusch, this will conform to basketball rules of the future as it will permit of placing the hoops higher.and eliminate the advantage of the tall player to some extent. The folding bleachers, according to Johnson, are quite unique. "Though I have supervised the construction of three buildings for the University of Washington. I have never seen this feature put in before." he said. mal Class Visits Factories Importance of Modern Machines Stressed in Studying Local Industrial Plants Miss Exean Woodard, former Dean of Women at WSNS and present teacher at Union college, Kentucky, is stopping at Edens hall while visiting old friends in Bell-ingham. Sunday afternoon from three to nine a tea was given in her honor at the home of Miss Delia Keeler, with Miss Gertrude Longley and Miss Alice Longley assisting. o For Sale: Bulldog, children. Very fond of The New Deal would have been a success if they'd just have let the school teachers borrow on their pensions. A Scotchman had to send an urgent telegram and wired as follows: "Bruises hurt.erased afford erected analysis hurt too infections deed." (ten words.) The Scotchman who received it immediately decided it was: "Bruce is hurt. He raced a Ford. He wrecked it, and Alice is hurt, too. In fact she's dead." (nineteen words.) The Roman architecture of the exterior matches the library and the main building. Below each window setting are cut-brick designs. Above the main entrances are canopies with shields, on which are engraved symbolics of athletes in deft, curved lines. Building Gives Sports Impetus "A varsity basketball turn-out twice as large as last year is expected this winter," stated Lappenbusch, "on account of the increased playing facilities provided by the new physical education building. Intermural basketball will play an important part in the physical education program also," he said. Football practice will begin September 21, with a large turn-out expected. The swimming courses to be conducted in the new pool will be taught by Sam Carver during the fall quarter. Miss Richardson's Industrial Arts classes 'have visited local industrial plants this week, to make first hand acquaintance with industrial processes and to get some understanding of the part that the machine plays in our lives today. In the fish cannery they saw the salmon go through all the processes from the time the iron chink cut off their heads, tails, and fins until they were sealed in cans and shoved into the huge pressure cookers. Upstairs, the cans were being made entirely by machinery. At the paper mill they saw the machine turn wood pulp into designed napkins, toilet tissue, and towels, all counted and folded or rolled, ready to be wrapped and labeled. Type was cast, set, and printed by machinery in the Herald plant. Machinery mixed, kneaded, weighed and shaped and dropped dough into the pans at the bakery. Speedy machinery made butter, ice cream, and milk powder at the Darigold plant. At the furniture plant, patterned lumber was turned into tables and chairs. o Clyde Campbell, who was graduated in 1921, has been made business manager of the city schools of Seattle with the title of Assistant Superintendent.

WASHINGTON Friday, June 23, 1933 ftORMALITE GREETINX! A BRICK TO YOU, SIR STAND BY FOR THE ARMY! YE PROF'S DIARY —By SAM. After the tripe we got away with last week, most anything ought to go over with a bang! -W.S.N.S.- Headline—"Wealthy Man's First Wife Throws Bricks." It's quite a pastime, you see. It seems the lady didn't think her husband's choice was as good as it might have been so she eased over to a. pile of debris and—cah-rash! went a couple or six windows! Moral—A brick in a window is worth two on the neck! But remem7 ber, my gude frien'—she can't miss every time! W.S.N.S. A new serum has been concocted from horses' blood to cure pneumonia. Fine for the people—but how about the poor horses? Our hearts bleed sorely for the mama horse who has to tell little Johnny Horse that papah's low blood '.'. pressure is on account of the spring serum, campaign! : W.S.N.S. Roosevelt is standing, so to speak, on an overloaded keg of T.N.T. with the cover pretty loose and wobbly. He's stirring up the world with real projects! He's a hero! People shout and stamp and whistle whenever his picture is flashed before them! He's ^..in.apposition to make or break the greatest presidential administration ever witnessed in the United States. Yet^-a couple of missteps and he'll be feeing nigh unto a million babbling people whose attitudes much resemble quiet little groups of Chinese executionists! As we said before—Roosevelt's a hero. But there's nothing more irritating to one, somehow, than finding a narsy little black bomb nestled in one's morning coffee! - • W.S.N.S. In the Pathe News the other night a shrinking little violet weighing approximately 450, and her dainty little spouse, trotted out in front of the'^screen with their sixteen (16) children and told the populace to. whajt, they accredited the success of their, army! "Gude hem un ecks un luts of egserstee iss wot done it!" said the victinv hanging his head in becom- ' ing modesty as he gathered his little brood about him. What a wonderful incentive for the ready consumption of ham and eggs! What a booh to the farmers! What a . Aw! dry up! . —W.S.N.S. m m AND BUSHELL TO APPEAR! Cello Selections and Readings Are Planned for Assembly A varied program for next Tuesday's assembly will be presented by Mr. Hoppe and Mr: Bushell. Two musical selections, Massenet's " Meditation From T h a i s " and "Apres Un Reve," by Faure, will be played on the 'cello by Mr. Bushell. The latter is a request number. Mr.' Hoppe, who had planned to read "Caponsachi," has changed his program as there will not be sufficient time for this reading." Instead; he will present readings from Lord Dunsany's "Gods of the Mountain." John W. Cunliffe, professor of English at Columbia university, says of Dunsany's work: "Dunsany inherited Celtic glamour and often adds to his plays of Oriental fantasy a touch of Western irony. This is apparent in his "Gods of the Mountain," a story of seven beggars who take it upon themselves to impersonate the seven gods of the mountain. — o Helen Porter spent the week-end with her parents at Rosario. Athletics to Receive Only 50 Cents of $5 Fee The regular meetings of the Board of Controlwere held Monday, June 19, and Thursday, June 22, the main purpose to prepare the budget of student funds for the summer quarter. President Fishef presented a tentative budget on tthe basis of an enrollment of 500 students. The following figures were decided upon: Viking, $1; social life, $1; athletic fund, 50 cents; lectures and entertainment, $2.50; total, $5. Francis Fisher, who during the past year has worked as associate editor of the Northwest Viking and as a department editor of the Klip-sun, was appointed editor of the 1934 Blue Book and given the privilege of selecting his co-editor. As he is not attending school this quarter, and lives in town, he offered his services for this purpose. s — o Loretta Balcpmb,. Normal school student, is vacationing at Neptune Beach with her parents. They plan to spend eight weeks of the summer Board of Trustees to Ask For $300,000 For New Weinzirl Alias Court Lady and Jap Maid Captivates Students Favorite Compositions Rendered by Young Coast Artist First with the poise of a lady of King Arthur's court, and later with the vivacity of a little Russian peasant girl, Gertrude Weinzirl, famous portrayer of moods, charmed the student body Tuesday with her program of varied numbers ranging from the stately court dance to the moody music interpretation dance. Exceptionally- clever lighting and costuming combined with her thorough knowledge of the dance made this recital one of the outstanding programs of the year. Her first numbers were well known "court dances" of the type used years ago for pastime and amusement. Her dignity and poise made these numbers very realistic and touching, taking the audience back to some novel or story they had read. Appropriate costuming and lights added much to the simple little numbers and won a hearty applause from the appreciative audience.

Milwaukee Glee club. One sunny August (1932) day Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Ruckmick climbed aboard their trusty Chevy and sped toward Detroit, Mich. Exactly six and one-half days later the Chevy roared into the city of Fords and deposited Mr. Ruckmick at a Y. M. C. A. convention. Four days later the travelers resumed their wanderings, l o a f i ng slowly along in the general direction of New York. .The' new University high school at Columbus, Ohio, claimed two days of their time. This school has the finest industrial aft equipment in the country., At Akron, Ohio, they visited the Goodyear air dock and were fortunate enough to see the giant Macon under construe* tibn. The bright lights of New York beckoned so via the Great Lakes and the Adirondapk country the Ruck-micks reached : their destination. They drove thrbugh the' famous Hoi? land tunnel, which stretches for two miles under the Hudson river. At the conclusion of his. year at Cttumoia university Mr. and Mrs!: Ruckmick returned home. This drive through t ^ '-jipB^Mw^^:j^:^^e pa^uiai^ blooming flowers. / Then she took the scene to Russia, where as a little Russian peasant girl she danced the spirited, gay dance of the Russian country-folk. Her numbers here interpreted the rollicking music of Sjwerkoff. A vivacious suite of numbers by Palgren proved finally and surely Miss Weinzirl's mastery of the dance. Her interpretations of "The Sea," "Berceuse" and "Furioso" were done in such a way as to mark her dancing as beautiful and different from the usual dance interpretation. Well aware of her charm in poise and body lines, she danced as if there were real joy in it rather than as- if it were just a job which had to be done. NEW BOOKS SHOWN IN READING ROOM Many Subjects of Interest to Teachers Are Included For the benefit of students and teachers the library has put on display a number of new books of interest to teachers. The display will be changed at intervals throughout the term, and the books may be borrowed as general library books. This display is found to the right of the door in the main reading room of the library and everyone is invited to look these new books over even if they have no time to read. The subjects included in the plans cover a wide range of subjects and varied material. , • _ _ — _ o — Exhibit of Drawing t by Children Shown Of special interest to teachers who must give instructions in art at their schools is the exhibit arranged by the art department in room 302.

He was accompanied by Edith R. Strange. Unusual is the fact that Mr. Mat-chan, a young singer, has received his training in the West, and has not studied abroad. Selections from many noted composers made up the pleasing program. These included "Midsummer," (Worth), "My Lovely Cecelia" (Old English), "Dichterliebe Cycle" (Schumann), "Le Portrait" (Parkyns), "The Crystal Gazer" (Kramer), Proposed Building BOND LEADS HIKERS TO TOP DESPITE SNOW Hikers Undaunted at Battling the Elements on Church Mountain The first long hike of the summer was started by a large group last Saturday morning at 7 a. m. The party, led by Dr. Bond, drove about five miles beyond Glacier., There they found lots of rain and little hope of an enjoyable hike, but the rain soon stopped. Two miles up the trail they found snow, and more snow. One peak of Church mountain was climbed. The day was warm but not clear to allow a view of the surrounding country so sliding was the only compensation received by those taking the climb. The party returned to the city about six o'clock, all happy and tired.

None of the students mind this, but when it gets to the point where the club invades the courts at all times, regardless of whether others *re waiting or not, it is only natural that students ^ should resent the intrusion of outsiders on their own courts. If the club desires to use the courts for tournaments, all right; but we should have first rights at all other times. OXFORD'S LEISURE TIME Oxford students spend their summer vacations read ing. They read extensively and intensively. They don't play tennis, golf and swim—then read, on the side; they read—then play tennis, golf and swim, on the side. In small groups of three or four the vacationing students get,, cottages on lakes, rivers and in the mountains. Or they get apartments near large and famous city libraries. Then day after day, in a quiet and undisturbed atmosphere, they steadily devour knowledge. Little or no reading is done by the Oxford students throughout the school year while they are enrolled for and actively attending classes. It is then they discuss. And i they have real background for their discussions. Wouldn't comparatively ignorant American college students benefit by at least experimenting with such a program? A f I TO YOU^FRd^ By Dick Albert I told you I'd tell,you, and so I shall say—-That leisure time is the thing °f the day. Especially in Everett, from where this is written, the pencil of leisure has profoundly smitten. Where once the population appeared much as bees, the appearance now is that of parasites and fleas.. To get on to my thesis—how to spend leisure time —suppose I must tell you the results of my mind. What I have found has been sodang little—-that, I feel that my mind is becoming "leisure" brittle. So may I suggest the following list—rpne of them, perhaps— will bring you some moments of bliss. Reading books of any type—except the kind that fail to gripe—for it's of this bunch your mind has lunch and makes you think (though once you've thunk, life seems like bunk). OR, you can exercise (from swatting flies to baking p i e s )— . Boating, tennis, golf and hiking for many people have formed a liking. TRANSOMl aoi If you're going steady—live on love (and if you aren't—thank the Gods above). If you're lazy physically—mentally, too; may we suggest—the radio? Next week I will tell you, in an advisory way, what games my adversity has dictated that I play. And so I say—in my leisurely Way—I'll see you again another day. Underlying thoughts, Which the writer wishes to impart To the eyes of the people— The ears of the world— But he hopes that his thoughts will convey Some joy, or some knowledge, Or some bit of cheer, To brighten a dreary day. „ gt;r Wmry LOOKING AHEAD When youth is faded and departed.

Happy days are here again! Ring-, side seats for the Sharkey-Carnera fight, June 29, at the new bowl belonging to Madison Square Garden, which sell forv$15 per look, are going like wildfire in large blocks of from fifteen to twenty-five seats a purchase. This recalls the olden, golden days of heavyweight boxing when championship go's were sellouts and everyone and his brother took all his pals to the fray at $30 a head, ringside. Those were the days when no one dared eat a peanut at a fight and "Come on, you fighters!" was the nastiest epithet heard at a fight. Ticket sales have reached far over the 5,000-mark and are still mounting, with $75,000 on the cash register. These battles must be nearly on a par with those "W"1 club "smokeless smokers" as far as money making goes! ; o FALCONS VICTORIOUS OVER PALE PANSIES Forstrom's Falcons Set Swift Pace for Wild Flowers Setting a scoring record for the intramural mushball league seemed to be the object of Forstrom's Falcons when the plucked Finley's Flowers, roots and all, to the tune of 37 to 4. Forstrom's men had little trouble connecting with the best efforts of J. McCleery, Kanarr and Leatha, Flowers pitchers, who lacked support from their" teammates. Gable pitched a nice game for the birdies, allowing only four runs, two of which were homers. He also led the scoring with five runs. Errors seemed to be in order for the pansies. No less than three runs were scored at one time on a series of errors. The lineup was as follows: Falcons Flowers Gable ..P J. McCleery Kepler.

There is a choice of baseball, badminton, archery, tennis and swimming, or they may take part in all of them. Baseball is played on the athletic field, badminton in the big gym and archery at the left side of the athletic field. The ladder tournament in tennis is held on the new tennis courts across the street, and the "splash hour" is held at the Y. W. C. A. on Forest street. Hours will be scheduled later.

WASHINGTON WMiimp^ Chuck Cissna's Orchestra to Entertain at Normal's "Yacht Club" At 9 o'clock tomorrow evening, the Women's league informal attendants will leave on their round-trip yachting cruise. Edens hall dining room is the appointed meeting place for the party, who will be entertained all evening on board by Chuck Cissna's jazz band. Wenona Peck, general chairman of the yacht dance, was able to announce the affair definitely only last Monday. Notwithstanding the fact that the outside and inside girls are joining forces, before that time the number of girls who had signed the bulletin board notice was not sufficient to insure its success. On Monday and every day thereafter, however, the list has grown to such an extent that accommodations are now being made for at least eighty couples. Assisting the general chairman as committee chairmen are: Vaughn Howell, g e n e r a l assistant; Mary Fisher, program; Harriet Rickerson, decoration, and Peggy McKay, refreshment. The girls who have been appointed to serve on these various committees are: Annette Austin, Ethel Page, Verna Thomas, Wilma Mautz, Virginia Carver, Jean Shaver, Mary Evich, Mayme Mcintosh, Donna Aisted, Marian Todd and Rosanne Young. The patrons and patronesses for the informal will be: President and Mrs. C. H. Fisher, Dr. and Mrs. H. V. Masters, Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Marquis, Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Ruckmick, Mr. and Mrs. Don Bushell, Misses Adele Jones, Florence Johnson, Gertrude Longley, Margery Horton and Kathleen O'Malley. The programs, which will carry out the yachting idea, can be procured for the usual one dollar. They will be on sale on the main landing on Friday afternoon from 3 to 5, and on Saturday morning from 10 to 12 o'clock. _—. o Story Telling Books In Children's Library A shelf of books that are very beneficial in helping one to acquire the fine art of story-telling, is on display in the children's library. The ability to tell stories in an interesting manner is an asset to a teacher whether she teaches in the primary grades or junior high school. Among the volumes that Mrs. Ewell has chosen are to be found Julia Darrow Cowles' "The Art of Story-Telling" and "Educating by Story-Telling," written by Cather. It is time well spent to examine these books. o State Board Holds Its Annual Meeting A resolution harmonizing certificates granted by the state department of education and higher state institutions was passed by the state board of education a its annual meeting; June 10 and 20 at Olympia. The' state board listened to reports of elementary, high school and vocational supervisors. Action was taken on the recommendations of these supervisors. Another major problem solved was the accrediting of high schools for the coming year1 and the accsediting of some higher, institutions whose graduates want to be recognized for teaching tai; the state. While in Olympia President C. H. Fisher called on Governor Clarence D. Martin. It if highly probable that the governor will, be able to confer the first dgrees at the summer commencement though the date has hot been definitely decided upon. ^ ^ a better c^U«)k on the finariCltl situation for the Normal scho^.

Normalstad Goal Of Viking Ramble On Next Tuesday "The Ole Swimmin' Hole" Import Attraction for Hikers Normalstad is the objective of the school-sponsored hike to be held on Tuesday, June 27. The hikers will meet in front of the main entrance at 4:30 p. m. From there they will be accompanied by Miss George. Those wishing may go directly to the Lake Whatcom car line and take the 5 o'clock car to Whatcom Falls park. When the park is reached everyone will hike to the tract of lake front owned by the Associated Students. College Woodland, as Normalstad is often called, contains eighty acres of land lying along the south side of Lake What6om. This beautiful playground has limitless possibilities for "the old swimmin' hole" has the most charm on these warm June days, Normalstad being admirably situated for a pleasant evening dip. The sparkling blue water of the lake is also ideal for romantic boat excursions. Each student is asked to bring his own lunch, a spoon and a cup. The latter implies that there will be plenty of aromatic coffee, steaming hot. This hike will not be accepted as one of the prerequisites to the climax of the summer recreation program, the climb up the glistening snow-covered sides of Mount Baker. HFTHffllittlES CLASS M S FOR FUTURE Study of Western Explorations Is Large Size Something new and different in "class books" has been provided for future fifth grades of the Campus school by the group which completed recently the study of Western explorations. The size of the two volumes compiled made it advisable for the class to call upon' Mr. Rindall to construct a special table on which these books might be displayed and used, and the order was most attractively filled. Prairie Dogs Seen in Action Bearing the titles "Following Pike and Fremont" and "On the Trail of Lewis and Clark," the volumes, each about twenty-four inches by twenty inches, contain full-page paintings in tempora of numerous scenes and experiences of the doughty pioneers. A spirit of life and adventure pervades the illustrations. Accompanying each picture is a "short short story," carefully autographed by its author. The subjects range from prairie dog villages to serious Indian pow-wows. Each book has covers of plywood, stained a dark green-to match the picture mounts. A unique fastening of two. leather straps with strong clasps holds the large pages firm when the book is closed. The covers have brightly colored lettering and illustration. Some of the stories were typed by members of the fifth grade typewriting club, an extra-curricular "hobby." In room 302 oh the third floor is another exhibit of Campus school art, open to Normalites with an unoccupied period and an interest in juvenile accomplishment. Every department from pre-primary to junior high has either a screen or wall space well filled. Story pictures and playtime scenes in crayon and water colors predominate in the younger divisions. An especially excellent group is that of architectural studies in pencil by seventh grade pupils. -O :— Miss Merle Duncan, Normal graduate who was elected county superintendent of schools hi Liberty county, Mont., is enjoying a vacation in Missouri.

Last year was the first year the banquet and dance had been held downtown and because it was considered by those present a success, the committee repeated the plan. The association is extending an invitation to every graduate of this school, including the June and August graduates of this year. L. A. Jones, of Ferndale, will represent the class of 1903; Sam Carver, of the Normal faculty, will- represent the class of 1913; Estella Rankin, of Bellingham, the class of 1918; L. M. Keplinger, prosecuting attorney of Whatcom county, the class of 1923; Earl Hammi, of Olympia, the class of 1928, and this year's graduating class will be. represented by Ethel Page, of Everett. Dr. and Mrs. E. T. Mathes, of Bellingham, will be honor guests'. Dr. Mathes was the first president of the Bellingham Normal school and will give an address on "Bellingham Normal School's First Year." "BE MINE T IS F n Jan Kiejsura, Polish Operatic Tenor, Is Lead in Play If Europe Is making many pictures of the artistic and entertainment value of "Be Mine Tonight," then it is time that Hollywood producers looked to their laurels. It is another of those simple little tales with an obvious turn, in events, but as each character is played cleverly, one enjoys it. It is a delightful musical excursion into the land of romance, laid against backgrounds of superb scenery. The cast includes Jan Kiepura, the Polish operatic tenor, in the leading role, and supporting him are Magda Schneider, Sonnie Hale, Edmund Wgen, Athene Seylet and others, whose names are comparatively unknown here, but are famous in England and on the Continent. The plot is amusing, with Ferraro, famous Italian tenor, escaping from his overbearing manager and fleeing to Switzerland. Of course the hero, incog., becomes confused with a rascal, and finds himself in jail, but he escapes, meets THE girl, and— the rest is history. gt;"Be Mine Tonight" was originally made in the UFA studios in Berlin. It has been such an astonishing hit on the Continent in the German language that the Gaumont studios in England offered to co-operate witht UFA and produce an English version.

MAJESTIES MUSIC —By Johnny None of us can deny that it is a thrill to watch the progress on the new Physical Education building. But few realize the years of work that President Fisher has spent to obtain the grant necessary for its construction. As an old-timer who attended the Campus school here, it is interesting to recall the history of the prospect. I can remember an assembly when President Fisher spoke to us on the plans. That was back in 1925—11 years ago. We were fascinated with the plans for the swimming pool. We could hardly believe that the school would have its own pool—"maybe-next year". The years went by. Our enthusiasm waned a little. We went to high schooL Graduated. And came back to the familiar campus. Still no physical education building? And now the actual work has be-gun. It is well to remember that much tune, energy, and patience were spent before the first shovel of dirt was lifted. "The King is dead. Long live the King!" From the time of his birth, Edward VIII has been a public figure. The world knows his status as a golfer, as a horseman, and as a chess player. If he chooses to dance twice with the same- lady, the press inquires, "Will be the next queen of England?" delves into her past, and publishes her family tree. His face flashes on the screen, and we hear him telling of labor conditions in his country, and the plight of unemployed British miners. Another glimpse—He is seen shaking hands with an important representative of a world power. He doesn't look very happy. Few people—the very foolish, or the very wise, would hesitate to change places with him. I wonder what his attitude would be? // was an interesting experience to come back to college here after attending the Campus elementary school. Things appeared in a new perspective. "Big Normal" began to make sense, and appear more than a mere appendage to the Training school. We had been aware, of course, that there were a good many "old people" around. (As far as We were concerned, student teachers were practically tottering on the brink of the grave.) Then, of course, there had been the nuisance of "being observed". We called them "spy classes." A lot of people came into our room and looked wise. Every once in a while they scribbled things in a notebook. It was really quite boring. The biggest nuisance was probably having these people clutter up the kails when We were on our Way to the cafeteria to eat our lunches. They frequently parked themselves in the middle of the hall to talk, and seemed oblivious of our presence. What was more, no one seemed to object when they made all the noise they wanted to. But just let us try it! This week we will conclude, our easy course in learning to play the piano without a piano. Lesson 4 This final lesson will be devoted to the subject, "How to Turn the Pages of Your Music". There are two principal methods, depending on the type of music you are playing. Method number one is for loud, fast music. Make an impressive gesture and frown as you finish the page, then grasp the corner of the page and turn it vigorously as if you would try to rip it loose. This is guaranteed to impress your audience and help to get them in the proper mental set. For soft, slow music the method of attack is very different. Crook the second, fourth, and. fifth fingers of your left hand. Bring this hand gracefully up to the music, and, taking the corner of the page" ten- Winners Selected In Klipsun Contest That Normal students prefer brownettes was established by the voting in the popularity contest held last Wednesday under the sponsorship of the school annual, the Klipsun. Joan Hoppe and Bud Vander-griend won out over their blond and brunette rivals to gain the titles of the most popular students on the campus. Miss Hoppe is a sophomore and editor of Hhe Northwest Vking. She served three quarters on the Board of Control and has taken an active part in activities of the school and the Women's league. Vander-griend, a second quarter junior, has distinguished himself in basketball and baseball. Nominations for the contest were made by ballot last Friday and other candidates selected to run at that time were Sheldon Stutz, Morris Tarte, Esther Gius, and Mabel Rolle. Fisher Comments That Appointment Report Favorable Superintendents Desire Teachers Of Music and Art Courses When Possible (Continued '• an Pafe Four) From the figures it can be seen that there were more requests for students to teach in the primary and intermediate grades than there were student prepared for the positions", says President C. H. Fisher in commenting on the 1934-1935 report of the Appointment Bureau. There were 98 requests for primary teachers and 87 graduates to fill the positions. Only 65 of the 75 requests for intermediate teachers were filled, while there were 75 requests for junior high teachers and 133 graduates available. "It is evident from the figures that we have too many students for the upper grades, with the result that the students who graduate from this course must take work in the primary and intermediate departments", says President Fisher. "If the students expect to get positions, fewer of them should do their work in the junior high curriculum". Some superintendents, in their requests for teachers, ask for people with experience but frequently take them without. Miss Elizabeth Hopper, Appointment secretary, also reports that superindendents like to have teachers in the first six grades who know something of music and art. They often request teachers who can teach these subjects in several grades other than their own. Miss Hopper considers that there remain only a few candidates from last year's class whom she would have been glad to recommend for teaching positions. All the college graduates who received diplomas were placed in positions. "Generally speaking", says President Fisher, "the value of the degree is recognized and the superintendents like its significance". Women's Big Informal Dance Date Announced After Committee Meets On February 8 the Women's league will hold its quarterly informal, it was decided at the meeting of the Executive commission held Wednesday noon. The dance will be held in the Crystal ballroom of the Leopold Hotel. A dance orchestra has not been decided upon yet. "Unless 75 girls have signed the notice which is placed on the bulletin board by Tuesday afternoon there will be no Women's informal", says Mary Moergeli, social chairman of the Women's league. The plans for the dance include a possibly midnight supper at the hotel. Transportation, flowers and other incidentals will be taken care of by the .girls. The price for the dance will be the same as in other yeans, even, with the supper included.

Since only a limited number can be on the staff the only way the paper can correctly represent the majority of the student is through student opinion. There is a standing invitation for every member of the student organization to be an honorary member of the staff by submitting a written opinion on some phase of school life. If you see something drastically wrong with the way certain things are done around school and have a constructive suggestion, write a student opinion so that your suggestion may be considered.

Jackets with a swing and a flare with full sleeves, closely fitted with slim sleeves, either double or single breasted, box-plaited or a dipping fishtail back are all very, very super. Which reminds me of a particular two-piece affair—the little tie longer than finger-tip jacket of a lovely large green and yellow plaid, with its fishtail back attached to a round yoke, worn over a plain green split skirt—all of which can be procured at a local concern for an amazingly low price. Combinations of striped jacket and plain skirt; plain jacket, plaid skirt, and a plain cape lined with the plaid are also in high favor. Speaking of suits, the growing demand for ski suits cannot be overlooked. A local store is featuring a jacket in three popular colors with a slide fastener that zips from the top of its turtle-neck way down the shoulder, a handy smart one-sided pocket and—of a waterproof wool! A popular trouser of that same wool comes with a smartly plaited front and invisible zipper closings on both sides that makes it fit like a second skin. (Hint: Read the ads for a ski trouser sale for next week.) Two pairs of ski shoes caught your reporter's eye—a grey suede and a white leather. Well, that's thirty for now, more tips next week—and I'll be skiing you! — O : Science Simplifies "Do be careful, i t might prove dis-asterous if we drove right into Mercury.

When the dear candidates lined up for inspection by t h e plebian hoily-poily little did they know what effect it would have on their lives. They were innocent folk trying to keep the school clean for democracy and save the budget—that is, most of them were—but you should see them now. The care-worn looks on their faces have grown overnight and many gray hairs are to be seen where there was never hair before. All spick and span with the traditional "shining morning face"— but no satchel—they leaped onto the stage gazelle-like and looked hopefully into the sea of eager upturned f a c e s . . .. About those faces, two-thirds of them were buried in books and the other third was talking out loud; knitting, writing poetry, or sleeping with less than usual on their microscopic minds. The reformers gulped, looked yearningly at their recently vacated seats and started the herculean task of arousing tne alert student body to the needs of aforementioned student body. As might have been anticipated, the charmed audience applauded wildly when they left the stage—happy, you see, because they could return to their books. As I have said, few of the candidates have retained their beautiful optimistic natures, through it all. o Copy Cuts JBy Lucy Who were the Tar Heels? Oh, I dunno. Descendants of the Tarbelli, mebby.

The Parkland team was unable to cope with Carver's speed and shooting ability. Ooach Charles Lappenbusch used his whole traveling squad in the game. His starting line-up of Carver, Vander Griend, Phair, Stutz, and Dombroski were leading by 18 points early in the 'game when Coach Leppenbusch sent his second into the fray. The subs, Moran, Pence, Moscrip, Dziedic, and B. Pence played almost the entire second half and weer very consistent in checking and shootiap. The zone defense of the Lutherans proved very ineffective against the quick passing and deadly shooting of Dombroski, Stutz, Carver, and Vander Griend. Phair also played good ball for the Normal, but he was injured early in the game and again taken out on fouls in the last half. Leask, Solie, and Nielson were high point men for the home team, each gathering 5 points. Nielson, rangy center, proved stable on the defense, but was poor in shooting ability. Votaw, forward and ex-grid star, also played well for PLC. Lappenbusch gave much praise to Stutz, and Carver for their heady play against the tall Lutheran forwards. . o- Vikings Tangle Tonight With Fast Edison Five Tonight at 7:30 the Viking basketball squad will , entertain the Edison town team in the Whatcom high school gym.

Carver's lads ran up a comfortable lead in the first half. The grocers however came back in the second canto in a business-like way and threatened the lead of the Jayvees, but Taylor and Devries started letting 'em go at the basket and the IGA rally stopped. Singer, flashy forward and usually high scorer, evidently left his eagle-eye at home as the end of the game found a brilliant goose egg after his name. He was checked by Lloyd Jackson, rugged Brown Cole guard. Devries, with 12 counters and Taylor with seven, were high for the Jayvees. Jackson, Beahan, and Wilkinson scored 4 each for the losers, while the passing of the two Karuza boys, Mike and Vince, was outstanding. Boxing Instructions Given By Kennedy Under the instruction of Truman Kennedy, student, the boys' boxing class got under way with a right to the jaw, Tuesday evening, January 21, in the "cheese box" gymnasium. Possibly because of the giving away of the Ashe Brothers' Oldsmobile only eight leather slingers attended the turnout. Hereafter classes will be held in the play room on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 4 o'clock, while a second group of fighters will attend the turnouts in the gymnasium, Monday and Wednesday evenings at 7:30. Sam Carver, instructor of the classes, says that as a physical requirement, each fighter to be picked for the smoker in February must attend one of these classes either in the afternoons or in the evenings.

Phone 882 •Located-in the Home Market- .'.; Looking It Over Coach Lappenbusch received a telegram from the University of British Columbia, stating that they would not be able to play their game with us Friday night, due to the death of their King. Don Holder happened to be nosing around Lappy's office the day the telegram arrived, spied the little yellow sheet and read it. After pondering over its contents for a moment, he. in all seriousness, asked: "Who is this King guy?" When the coach recovered from this exhibition of blaring ignorance, he explained to Don that the King's., complete., name., was King George V, and that he derived the Roman numeral on the end of his name from making five points in every game he played. If the Vikings continue to play as they have in the past few games, these Husky Pups they are scheduled to play/Monday will be forced to stick their tails between their legs and do plenty of howling be fore the Norsemen are through with them. It may be a good thing that the boxing class is being promoted at the present time, if any political squabbles should arise over student body offices, it might be arranged with Coach Carver to let dissatisfied individuals come to the boxing class on Tuesday, or Thursday nights and present a grudge battle. Speaking of boxing, Joe Dobm Was offered a chance to fight Joe Louis at one of our future smokers. The one and only reason Dolan gave for not wanting to fight the Black Bomber was that he wouldn't derive any satisfaction frojn ft. He said he wouldn't know if he gave the Negro a black eye or not, so what would be the use of fighting! Co-op Five Leads Intramural League Daniels Hall Forfeits To W Club; Vikings Trim Men In the intramural basketball league Daniels hall forfeited a game to the W club and the Co-op is still leading the rest of the intramural hoopsters. The Co-op team is still in the lead as it has won three games this quarter. Their latest coup was when they took the Hot Shots, Monday afternoon with a winning score of 34 to 18. The Co-op men showed their 'superiority throughout the whole game. During the first half of the game between the Men's club and the Vikings it looked as though the Men's club had the game in the bag. In the last half the Vikings rallied and carried off the victory with a final score of 22 to 19. The morale of Daniels hall seems to have been undermined. None of the boys showed up Tuesday afternoon for the game with the W club, so it was forfeited.

BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Friday, August 14, 1936 Normalite By Ralph Dever Flash! Two coeds turn native! Discard shoes during hike back from Bocks. It is reported on good authority "that two of the gentler sex among the students at Bellingham Normal were found wending their way homeward from a place called The Rocks in their bare feet. It seems that salt water has a damaging effect upon certain types of women's shoes and that in this case the shoes simply disintegrated leaving the girls without a taxi and with nothing but their bare dogs to get them home. No sirs Walter Raleigh provided a velvet cloak upon which their feet might trod, hence the bruised knees in addition to the swollen feet. What will their mothers say when they hear of fair daughter's ignominy? Speaking of fishing—the grapevine reports that Prexy and his son "Chuck" haul them in by the line-full when they go out to fish. In fact more than a line-full! 'Tis said that our headmaster considers an old snag as an excellent object upon which to ply the reel. Our photographer friend criti-i cized Tuesday's art exhibit, on China by saying that it wasn't art; that these were photographs such as any globe trotter might take to show the folks back home where he had been. 1 couldn't follow his explanation of what constituted art in photography;- so with , my unstrained artistic soul I simply enjoyed, the pictures, art or no art. I missed that ten o'clock lecture on China, too. It seems that in a school as keen to international problems as this one is students might be excused from classes provided they actually attended the lecture. For the psychology professor— more evidence that animals think. It is reported in the Aberdeen World that a man saw a bear which was afflicted, with fleas clmb a tree, paw off some dry moss, put it in his mouth and then walk very, very slowly into the river. With only the tip of his noise and the moss protruding' above the water he finally let go of the moss and walked back to the shore—a free bear once more. There's at least one deer in the world who undoubtedly thinks some people are crazy. A young doe came down near the Enchanted Valley inn on the Olympic peninsula and watched a baseball game for fifteen or twenty minutes, while the players, a mixed group of men and women, shouted in the usual manner. The doe finally ambled off into the woods—she'd had enough. Despite contempt for most of the flag waving and dictator saluting going on in the world today, I cannot help but feel that an occasional effort to salute our own flag and a public pledge of allegiance to that flag and the people it represents would do us all good. ..The desire to belong to something, the family, an organization or a country, is fundamental in human beings. Saluting our country s flag and pledging allegiance to it are forms for satisfying a need. Except for a few isolated cases where parental influence has warped the child's normal activities, children love to salute the flag and repeat the pledge. During my experience as a teacher I have found that while a few may bring up the question of the salute (an excellent opportunity for: guid-, ance, the other children will help you) aR children when left to .their own devices tpiiy prescribe the sq-lute'at tie opening of their own: meetings. 'yX N YA Workers Assured Jobs No Definite Quota Received Yet, But Indicated Number To Be Same "We have received word from John H. Binns, state director oi the National Youth Administration, regarding aid for next year," reports President C. H. Fisher. No definite word has yet been received from Washington, D. C, regarding the quota of students to be given aid next year. However, it is indicated that the quota will be the same as it was during the past year. "In order to be on the safe side we have authority at this time to notify not more than 75 per cent of last year's quota. We expect to receive further authority in the near future to. notify the remaining 25 per cent of the quota," Prexy comments. The. quota last year was 78, which was 12 per cent of the enrollment of full time students in October, 1934. .If the grant this year is based on the enrollment for October, 1935, more students may be given aid. The faculty committee on student aid has begun work in order that students to receive jobs may be notified by September 1. Science Students Remains Overnight The class in Field Zoology under Miss Ruth Piatt, science instructor, is going on the Friday Harbor excursion tomorrow. Instead of returning the same day, they are staying until Sunday; this is to enable them to make a study of deep water animal life. Arrangements have been made to charter a dredge for four hours Sunday morning, for the purpose of taking samples of life from the ocean bottom. They will study the life that exists at depths of from 10 to 50 fathoms. As each successive dredge is made the contents of the net are placed on a specially arranged platform at the rear of the boat for observation. Several members of former zoology classes are expected to make the trip, which according to Miss Piatt, will be on especial treat to anyone interested in science. Ruckmick Gives Speech At Industrial Arts Meet That Industrial Arts is a subject that can bring the practical aspects of daily life into the school was one of the points which H. C. Ruckmick of the Department of Industrial Arts, stressed when he spoke at the Industrial Arts conference held at Long Beach, Washington, from August 7 to 9. As Industrial Arts deals with tools and machines it should stimulate other subjects, particularly Social Studies which deal with the effects of tools on civilized life. Industrial Arts should not only describe but help evaluate our civilization and should be afactor in helping eliminate technicological unemployment. Dr. Waldo Elected President Emeritus Of State Teachers College, Kalamazoo After more than twenty-five years of active service in the Western State Teachers College of Kalamazoo, Michigan, Dr. Dwight B. Waldo, the first president of that school, has been elected president emeritus of that famous educational institution. More than twenty-five years ago he began to make of that college one of the most outstanding in the country. In this he signally succeeded and became known as an educator of marked ability. About thirteen years ago he was given a leave of absence to become temporary president of Bellingham Normal. He remained here one year and made many friends. Dr. Waldo is succeeded as president by Dr. Paul Sangren, who Dr. Waldo says is the greatest teachers' training educator in the country. The two men have been lifelong friends and each is happy over the advancement of the other. —Courtesy the Herald Dr. D. B. Waldo, third Normal president, in whose honor Waldo field was named. Woodwind Trio Due At Bellingham State Coming at the end of a series of fine programs, the Woodwind Trio of the Seattle Symphony Orchestra, composed of Frank Horsfall, flute; Ronald Phillips, clarinet; and Whitney Tustih, oboe, will give the final program of the summer session series at the Friday assembly, in the State Normal school of Bellingham at 11:00 o'clock, August 21. Among the numbers on the program to be heard at the Normal school are "The Music Box," a composition full of humor and subtle thrusts; Christian Kriens' "Dance of the Goblins," Handel's "Adante" and Mozart's "Adagio." An arrangement by Mr. Tustin of Beethoven's "Minuet in G" will also be heard. Miss Gladys Beseau Phillips will supplement the Trio in solo numbers. Terry Petters in the Tacoma Daily Ledger has this to say: "There was no musician in the audience who did not find much of keen interest in the effects achieved by the fute, clarinet, and oboe by the Woodwind Trio." Youthful Violinist Appearing Tuesday Henry Simonson, youthful violinist, will appear in recital at the Tuesday assembly of the Bellingham State Normal at 11:00 o'clock. Madge Talm«dge, in the Seattle Star, says, "The boy has romance and depth of feeling, qualities that will be the inspirational material for mature artistry. Thus to his solo refrain of the Schubert "Ave Maria" there was resonating warmth of tone and sincerity. At 17 years of age, he not only possesses the technical equipment of the artist, but a showmanship that will assure him appreciative audiences for the future." The program will consist of "Praeludium and Allegro" by Pug-nani; "Carmen Fantaisie" by Hu-bay; "Ave Maria" by Schubert-Wil-helmj; "Norwegian Bridal Procession" by Grieg-Sauret; "Romariza Andaluza" by Saracate; "La Gitana" by Kreisler, and "The Round of the Goblins" by Bazzini. Simonson will accompanied by Miss Margery Simonson at the piano.

Youths' appeal and Americanization of the immigrants was also discussed. That world peace wm come through succeeding generations of children was the consensus of opinion. Demanding satisfactory answers to questions of religion and moral issues America's youth is facing the future. Student government in schools, a spiritual set of values on character rather than the three R's, academic freedom in discussing these subjects were stressed. The group brought out the fact that it takes a period of years to convert ah immigrant into an American citizen, and it cannot be done by high powered pressure. That the immigrant brings a worthwhile contribution to us was pointed out. • Prominent citizens such as Willa Cather and Rolvaag were cited. That propaganda used by the opposing forces must be met by propaganda from the IRC was also discussed. Leaders must have a counter organization to fight for the control of the weapons used in scattering propaganda/Radios, newspapers, and magazines were listed as some of the weapons. * Dr. Neal Miller, son of Dr. I.

CUT-OUTS GIVE US A BREAK! We're loud-mouthed. We're aggressive. We dangle burning cigarettes from our mouths (men and women alike) and spout continually. We're publicity seekers. None of us are modest. We mind other people's business, never our own. In short, we're a smart, wise-cracking, thoughtless, group of pear-shaped morons. That's what they tell us. That's what people naturally expect when the word "reporter" is mentioned. Why? For the simple reason that the movies have created that illusion by stamping these definite characteristics on every newspaper man and woman who walks on the screen. They must have a standard type for reporters and this is the result. Isn't it about time for the movies to wake up and put out something real? A LOT OF TROUBLE today is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt. The strange thing about the new modern bathing suits is that they are called suits instead of harness. Give a politician a free hand and he will put it in your pocket. ONE THING A HOMELY GIRL has that a prettier girl hasnt . . . fewer enemies. DEATH RATES PER PERSON. IN U.

Senator Soper says: "All a publisher of geographies can do in these troubles times is to get out a five-star edition and hope for the best." —Atlanta Constitution. A football jersey is am interesting piece of gridiron equipment. As a rule the color combination is very individualistic. Teams vary in their selection of colors, from Princeton's conservative striped sleeve outfits to some semi-pro team's dazzling color combination that, according to Red Grange, was Sears-Roebuck's best bargain. Periodicals On Parade OH, well, all men are created free and equal, but grow up^into a graduated income-tax world. A Girl Can't Be Too Careful Nowadays To build up the modern girl for a successful vivid life and personality through proper school athletics in grade school, high school, and college should be the aim of every school principal,- superintendent, and instructor. Upon these persons rests the responsibility for the future habits and health of the young women of today' more than upon any other group. Therefore—Build lives and not destroy them—should be their aim. , Many examples of injurious results from overactivity in sports can be found among the young people of today. Over-developed hearts and tense nerves are common results which show up. Direct bodily injuries often result from sports. An over-ambitious coach, whose success depends on the games won by the school they represent are often the cause of such troubles. This is the exception rather than the rule, in these times, but a word for the future of young womenhood is always timely. Sports or activities that might lead an overtaxed body or other injury resulting from over-strenuous play should be avoided. Each girl or woman should be considered as an individual. Each has a physical development peculiar to herself and needs special supervision. The mental health of every individual should be considered before a heavy sports program is planned for him. gt; The years that must be faced after a girl has finished her schooling must be considered from the beginning of her education. Why not the healthy girl built on a proper diet, sensible exercise, proper rest, healthy amusement, and the understanding, of the background of each girl by the instructor? "The possible and actual effects of nursery-school and kindergarten attendance upon the\ mental health of the children enrolled may well challenge the thoughts of any person interested in the well-being of children," says Grace Langdon in her article in the June AMERICAN CHILDHOOD on "Nursery-School Kindergarten Education in Mental Health." In the "Review of Reviews," August, 1936, John A. Miller has written an article, "They're All Afraid to Mention It," dealing with the traffic situation. There is no deep mystery concerning the most effective way to relieve this congestion. The first important step to be taken is recognized by everyone who has studied the subject, but nothing is done about it, because they are all afraid to mention it. The merchant is against abolishing parking because it destroys his trade: A careful poll shows that 2 per cent of the persons entering stores come from automobiles. The great majority it appeared had either come by public transportation vehicles or had walked to the store. Anyway you look at it, the mathematical argument runs strongly against parking. The trouble is that questions of this kind are seldom settled on basis of mathematics, psychology enters into the situation and plays the larger part than figures. Virgil Barkers article AMERICANISM IN PAINTING in the summer YALE REVIEW, is in accordance with the opinion of many of "us Americans." She says that the art produced in America may not be the best internationally speaking but that if it is the best for America, that should be the real goal of our attainment. The Book Shelf THE MOVIES ON TRIAL, "The Views and Opinions of Outstanding Personalities Anent Screen Entertainment Past and Present" (sub-title); compiled and edited by William J. Perlman; The Macmillan Company, 1936. Reviewed by Glen O. Greseth. The "New York Times" and "Christian Science Monitor" are rather severe in their criticism of this book because they say it does not stay up to its title, is too controversial, and the articles are not backed by sufficient statistical data. However, these articles by Ben Lindsey, William Lyon Phelps, Upton Sinclair, and others are pertinent, thought-provoking, and constructive. Some deride the artlessness of the movies; others decry their sensuality; but still others praise the genius of producers who have boomeranged the industry into a terrific social force in less than two decades. The essay by Wolf W. Moss, "The Movies and the Social Revolution," is interesting, as it describes the trends of movies in Germany, the Soviet Union, and China. Apparently Nazism has dealt a death blow to Germany's creative splurge of the late twenties. Russia, on the other hand, is planning to build two hundred theaters on the collective farms of the Ukraine to show films, the production of plays and other spectacles, the performance of concerts, the conducting of all cultural and educational activities. Samarkand, Tokkara, Tashkent, and Askhabad, cities formerly under the Tzarist censorship, have begun creating new plays and music, showing the triumphs of socialism in a world of ancient ways. Mr. Moss writes, "The children's theaters are the psychological research departments for the future." He also commends the Russian prison theaters, built by the prisoners themselves, people who heretofore been regarded as human waste, under the guidance of the country's finest architects and builders. Mr. Moss sums up his article which, though idealistic, is constructive: "The movies should belong to the people and should mirror their lives. The movies -should be one of the greatest weapons utilized for cultural and social advance. They must become in-ternational in their scope, in their portrayals of people and races. Profits must vanish from them. The arts, the technical brilliance, the high courage and purpose must remain." " Point of View By Harlan Jones ---------- Northwest Viking - 1936 August 14 - Page 3 ---------- WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, fiEUilNGHAM, WASHINGTON .. L00KING*IT OVER.. Few people realize the hours of labor required to get an athletic contest organized so that it will run smoothly. A tennis tournament is especially laborious since every contestant must be contacted personally. Hal Reeves says that he wrote 73 personal letters to players entering the Northwest Washington Tennis Championship matches. He has a nice field lined up—have you been watching any of the matches? They will contine play on the Normal courts this afternoon, tomorrow and Sunday. It looks like some people, especially Seattle Indians, can't keep off other people's feet. But it is not al ways wise to tromp on an umpire's toes even when that umpire appears to be in a daze. Managers can be suspended as easily as players. Those Huskies from Seattle will be barking at our heels next Tuesday on Waldo field... To have a game in the bag as they did and then to lose it by one point is not conducive to mild manners. Les Leal, Bellingham's ace amateur golfer, repeated in Seattle, Saturday, when he won the state amateur title for the second year in succession. Campbell, his stiffest opponent, was defeated on his own home links. Ray Willis of the Boosters batted one out to the right spot in center field last Friday night when he tucked it under the scoreboard. He didnt lose any time getting around to home plate again either. They dont make home runs inside the field at Battersby often. * *s m * The local fans felt better Saturday night when the Boosters outplayed the Bremerton Cruisers in the second game of the week-end. The Friday night game had been a heart breaker too many times. By the way, are you going to see the show tomorrow night when the Olympia Senators play Bellingham's best under the floodlights. * * * * Barney Chichester, heading up the Normal school men's golf tournament, has kept the sport alive this summer. An earlier start might have produced a team that would give the University of Washington golf team something to try to forget Boosters Split Double Header Local Team Loses First Contest; Wins Second Game With Bremerton Nine Although winning two out of three games played since the last issue of the Viking, the Bellingham Boosters have been unable to reach their goal—first place in the Northwest league. Last Friday evening Bellingham lost a heartbreaking struggle to Bremerton; the score, 7 to 5. Eddie Percival, speedball artist, who was the ace of the Bellingham staff last year, turned on his own team. Percival began pitching for Bellingham at the beginning of the present season but early developed a sore arm which did not respond to treatment so he was given his release. Since that time he joined with the Bremerton club and has beaten the Boosters twice. Isekite, Bellingham pitcher, was having trouble with his control- Saturday night Bellingham evened the series by administering an 8 to 6 defeat upon the Cruisers. It was batter's night at the local ball park as 28 safe hits were pounded out during the game. Joe Dailey, Bellingham's big Righthander, breezed along easily throughout the game except for the sixth and eighth innings when Bremerton rallied for three runs in each frame. Pitcher Wins Own Game Wednesday evening of this week saw the Boosters hang up another victory. This time it was at the expense of the lowly Tacoma Tigers who have won but 5 games during the season. With a score of 2 to 2 in the last of the ninth inning Elmer Bray, Bellingham hurler, smacked out a scorching single on the first pitched ball to drive in the winning run. Tomorrow night the Boosters play Olympia at Battersby field, 8:30 p. m. Kluge, Boggess Leave For Baseball Tourney Harry Kluge and Hurley Boggess playing with the American Shoe company, are leaving for Seattle with their team, this afternoon, to play in the state soft ball tournament being sponsored by the Seattle P.-I. Kluge plays second base, while Boggess plays in centerfield. The Bellingham team won the right to go to the tournament by defeating Mt. Vernon for the Northwest district championship.

American athletes won the track and field championship of the 1936 Olympic games at Berlin last week. The American 400 meter relay team consisting of Jesse Owens, Ralph Metcalf, Poy Draper, and Frank Wyckoff set a new record of 39.8 seconds in that event. On the basis of unofficial scoring the United States made a total of 203 points while Finland was second with 80 points. The American wrestling team retained their Olympic championship, while the boxers are leading in their events. In the aquatic sports the United States are neck and neck with the Japanese by virtue of winS in the springboard diving events and a sensational upset of the Japanese in the 400 meter free style swimming event. The Americans led by Dick Dege-ner of Detroit, Michigan, took the first three places in the diving event. Jack Medica of Seattle, Wash., set a new record in the 400 meter swim by defeating the favored Japanese entrant, Shumpei Uto, of Japan. In the earlier qualifying rounds the Japanese swimmer had set a record of 4:45.5, beating the old record set by Clarence Crabbe. In the finals Medica beat this record by a full second to lead his nearest rival to the finish by a few yards. , c : Soft Ball League Has Close Games 119 W. Magnolia St. Winning one game each, Bod-land's Polar Bears and Keppler's Sockers broke even in their last two soft ball games. Last Thursday afternoon, August 6, the fur-bearers defeated the pugs by a 6 to 4 score in a hard fought game, in which Korsborn, the Bear pitcher, had them swinging in the wrong places. Batteries for this game were Korsborn, Chichester, Bodland, and Reeves for the Polar Bears, and Keppler and Stutz for the Sockers. Monday afternoon the Sockers won a close one from the Bears by a 5 to 4 score. This was the season's first win for the Sockers. In this game, Hammett of the Sockers did some fancy fly chasing to rob In an extra inning game with the University of Washington baseball team, Tuesday afternoon on Graves field in Seattle, Bellingham Normal added the extra point to win by a score of 12 to 11. Alpaugh, center fielder for Normal, ran in the needed score in the eighth on a wild pitch by Lindquist. McCartin's pitching for Normal froze out the University team after the second inning, leaving the Seattle team with only the 11 points made in th» first two innings. Reeves and McCartin scored for Bellingham in the first inning, with Jensen, McMachen, and Thorlakson raising the ante for the Seattle school to 3. Normal failed to score in the second, while University staged an eight-man track meet assisted by numerous errors among the Bellingham players. The Husky lead with a score of 11 to 2 stayed on the board until the 5th inning, when Jenkins, Viking shortstop, brought in Bellingham's lone score for that inning. With McCartin pitching and a rally among the Normal players in the third inning Washington was kept from scoring during the rest of the game. Bellingham ran riot in the 6th, putting seven players across home plate. A run by Reeves in the 7th evened the score. McCartin, taking the mound in the third inning, struck out nine men during his six innings.

White in the Art Department Tuesday was on the "Highlights of Chinese Art." ' Slides were shown of the different kinds of art. Some on Chinese architecture which included slides of the old towers and temples and other buildings made of porcelain, some of marble and other materials beautifully carved and designed. Porcelain art was also discussed. Vases that were made 500 to 700 years ago were shown. Mr. White said that it wasn't necessaiy to go to China to see them since a great number of their fine arts have been imported,and may be found in most of our museums. The Chinese copy nature in color and form and picture legends on their porcelain works. Symbols and emblems are also used to a large extent. The influence of Chinese pottery is world wide.

Power's New Book Is On Oregon Literature Chinook Jargon as a literary language is introduced in Alfred Power's "History of Oregon Literature" recently published by Metropolitan Press, Portland, Oregon. The first Oregon literary productions were not only motivated by the far western scene, but also self reliant. The various articles in this volume are very versatile due to the fact probably of the varied occupations of the contributors. Missionaries, trappers, scientists, poets, song-writers and historians each glorified in his own way the wonderland of the Oregon country. The earliest Oregon novel, "The Prairie Flower," was written in 1849 by Sidney Walter Moss and sent east to be published, later becoming the best seller, with 100,000 copies being sold.

Ellensburg's Quintet Headed Eighth Consecutive Tri- Normal Crown Winning Co-ed VISITORS FAVORITES Bellingham Preparing to Dope with Victory Upset With their eighth consecutive trinomial hoop title in their grasp, Ellensburg's Wildcats will attempt, next Thursday evening, to defeat the Viking quintet on the Whatcom high maple court. The Jayvees will meet the Northwest Vikings intramural, team at 7:30 in the pre liminary g a m e . The Bellingham p l a y e r s would like nothing bet-t e r t h a n to avenge the 42- t o - 2 1 d e f e at handed them by the Wildcats on VanderGriend their E a s t e rn road trip. However, the Vikings will need more than the will to win to help them defeat Leo Nicholson's powerful team. Lineup Indefinite Coach Lappenbusch's men have been improving fast and the opening lineup may be in doubt until game time. Both Prender and Anderson have looked good at turnouts during the last week and may get a chance to show their wares before the final whistle. Prender proved that he can score in the Cheney game by sinking three goals in succession. Anderson needs a little more experience but has valuable height for working under the basket. Vander Griend has looked good in the last few games and probably will j start at one forward berth, with Zambas the most logical choice for the other spot. Fitzer, at center, will have the evening cut out for him in guarding Nelson, who has been highly praised by Ellensburg's paper. Moser, the workhorse of the Vikings, will team with either Sollie or Johnson at the guard positions. The preliminary battle promises to be a scrappy opener for the main game.

Thirty-six singers make up this group, which is very popular and much in demand as a source of entertainment. The chorus does not specialize on any certain class of music, but sings a variety of types. Classical selections, folk songs, negro spirituals and cavalier songs, to mention a few, are all rendered with the same high quality and harmonious blending of voices. Notable among the numbers which will be given at the Tuesday assembly are: "Lamp in the West" (Parker), the words to which have been written by Ella Higginson, of this city; "The Tourney of King John," to be sung as a bass solo by Paul Breen; "Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes" "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," Home on the Range" and "Boot, Saddle,, to Horse and Away," one of three cavalier songs to be sung by Paul Breen and chorus. —Patronize the Advertisers— Ruckmick Speaks To Campfire Girls President C. H. Fisher was elected president of the Northwest Council of Y. M. C. A. at a meeting held last Saturday at Seattle. His term of office is for one year. Mr. Fisher attended the meeting as a representative of the Bellingham association. He is president of the board of directors of* the association.

A. organizations in the states of Washington, Idaho' and Oregon. —Patronize the Advertisers— New Course Given Rural Teaching to be 1 aught During Next Quarter Coach Speaks to Board of Control On Spring Sports Entire Group Votes Class Funds Transferred at Finish of Each Year A new fee to be known as the lecture and entertainment fee was created by the board of trustees at its last meeting. This change was made at the request of the board of control of the Associated Students because they felt that money spent for lecturers and entertainments is 'for educational purposes and as such should be strictly under the control of the administration of the school, and that there is as much reason for having such a fee as there is for having a library fee and a health fee. President C. H. Fisher states that under this new plan the lecture and entertainment fee is divorced from the student activity fee but that the total cost of fees will be exactly the same. For instance, during spring quarter the lecture and entertainment fee will be $1.50, while the cost of the student activity fee will be $5.50 instead of $7, as it is now. —Patronize the Advertisers— When the scribes and presidents of Camp Fire met last Saturday morning at 10 o'clock in the auditorium of the Puget Sound Power Light Company, Herbert C. Ruckmick, of the industrial arts department, gave a talk on the subject of hobbies. Mr. Ruckmick talked on the different hobbies which the Camp Fire Girls will be working on for their honors. He discussed his own hobby, which is photography j a subject on which he was able to give interesting information. —Patronize the Advertisers— Peace Discussion Held at Relations Club Meet During the spring quarter of this school year L. A. Kibbe of the department of education will teach a new elective course. on Rural School Problems, to be given at 8 a. m. daily. This course is intended primarily for students who expect to teach, for a while at least, in one, two, or three-room schools and who have had little or no experience or special training in that type of work. In this class, all sorts of problems confronting the rural teacher will be taken up including the organization of rural schools, making programs for various types of rural schools, securing satisfactory results v/ith limited equipment and a study of the rural community and its relation to the school. Several county superintendents will be asked to speak to the class on current rural problems, and an attempt will be made to have the class visit at least two or three rural schools during the quarter. —Patronize the Advertisers— Thespians Prepare For Dinner-Dance To Be Held Soon In a meting held Monday after noon, Coach Lappenbusch brought up the question of spring' football and baseball practice before the board of control. He stated that four baseball games could be gotten with teams from the University of Washington and the Pacific Lutheran college on a home and home basis. After some discussion it was voted that the question of football and baseball be laid on the table until the athletic budget could be checked. At the present time it is not certain how much money will be available on these sports. The question of class dues was brought up by Dick Albert.

The date of the dinner-dance may be changed on account of the sophomore party, but so far, the date for the party has been set for February 23. —Patronize the Advertisers - Prexy Accepts Place on City Commission . Under the direction of Kenneth Bernet, the play, "Feast of the Holy Innocence," by S. Marshall Illsley, will be presented by members of the play production class in the February 16 assembly. It is the story of two religious old maids, Electa and Cornelia, known as the Milk sisters. The play is written like the Russian plays of Cechof, in which the entire play depends upon the characters rather than upon the action. Woven into the plot of this one-act comedy is satire upon the puritanical way of living in the country. The five women comprising the cast are: Electa and Cornelia Milk, Mary Evich and Anne Matheson; Mrs. Oman, a former resident of the rural community in which trie play takes place, Naomi Watson; Mrs. Oberly, the blacksmith's wife, Louise Lawrence; and, Jenny, the bouncing twelve-year-old, June Welch. —Patronize the Advertisers — Blue Triangle Club Renovate Clubhouse; Plympton Adviser Elective Subjects Being Investigated Ten Faculty Members, Headed by Miller, Are on Committee Informal To Give Cupid Honor Seat Hotel Leopold Crystal Ballroom to be Scene of Dance Tomorrow B U R N O R C H E S T R A PLAYS Love Potion to be Served by the Refreshment Committee Because of the fact that Washington State Normal school at Bellingham has changed to a four-year course from a three-year coursej a change in the elective subjects of various educational departments is essential. As a result, the curriculum committee, headed by*Dr. Irving E. Miller and composed of ten faculty members, is investigating the elec-tives offered by the various departments of the school. Dr .Miller states, "Our plan is to give the students a larger variety and a greater sequence." The final result is that students will have a chance to choose elective subjects that may be of greater use to them, instead of taking ones that do not benefit them. —Patronize the Advertisers— The Women's league informal will be held tomorrow evening in the Crystal ballroom of the Leopold hotel. ;Be well supplied with heart balm when you come to the Worn- . en's league informal, "where arrows wound."

Resolution On Football Passed By Board Is Self Explanatory The following resolution was passed by the Board of Control at its meeting last Monday night: Because of the fact that student maintained football is considered to be effective for the biennium ending April, 1935, the Board of Control of the Associated. Students hereby resolves that any discussions and petitions bearing upon another ballot of the football question during the spring of 1934 shall be out of order. The editor feels that the motion as adopted is self explanatory. He wishes to point out, however, that both candidates for student body president brought forth the so-called "dead cat" football issue in the recent election and therefore feels his recent editorial asking for student opinions on the issue was entirely justified. Cannibalism Suspected in Bellingham Who's Who On the Campus Blond curls, a peaches and cream complexion, and a lot of clever puns are just some of the reasons why girls come to Normal to see God's gift to women. Whenever we have a honest-to-goodness pep assembly you can plan on seeing this fellow as a canny Scotchman, an escaped member of a Turkish harem, or most any other interesting personality. In fact, he is quite a noted dancer. He holds an office in the junior-senior class, has been here for eight quarters since his graduation from Everett high school. Though the world be full of ups and downs, a body just must eat, And wear some clothes upon his back, and boots upon .his feet. So don't forget the advertisers! Hearken to our cry! You may be an advertiser by and by! The suspicion of cannibalism in Bellingham has grown out of the remark coming from a telephone booth, "Sorry, kid, but I won't be able to come over this afternoon. We are going to have mother's rich aunt for dinner tonight and ma wants me to be home." Personally, we would rather have our aunt to dinner, as we prefer our meat tender! While on the subject of family relations, divorces may be desirable in some cases but never divorce the combinations of either — o r a nd neither—or. "Till death do us part" should be the axiom for these. Those famous last words just quoted produce a serious thought, "Will the answer be negative or affirmative?" Watch closely for the two negatives that make an affirmative, wherein lies hope. "No, no," means no, but "I ain't never going to get married," means she is although she may not know it. Wealth of Sports Material Available School Library Has Latest Reports Dealing with College Sports By George Lovos "Viking office! *hello-o-o-o! Yah Yah etc." That Speaking! . Oh?— little bit Oh, of in on Recent Happy Change In Club Is Healthy Sign One of the healthiest signs of intellectual interest we have seen on this campus for some time is the large turnout at the reorganization meeting of the Vanadis Bragi club. The need for an organization to discuss present day literature in its relation to current problems has long been felt. While a few may sincerely regret this club dropping its former object, the study of parliamentary law, we feel the change of purpose to be a very happy one. o Hallelujah! Seattle Teachers' Purses Inflated 10 Per Cent Another cause for rejoicing is the action recently taken by the Seattle board of education in raising the salaries of all teachers 10 per cent. With the coming of the 50 or 60-cent dollar this 10 per cent boost in pay will be a much needed addition to deflated pocketbooks. conversation should let you the identity of this gal, but seeing as you all don't hear all the talk in the Viking office, the person in mind is small, has long blonde hair, is prominent in WAA activities, and holds a position on the Viking staff. She is fond of dancing, and an ardent supporter of all school activities. Her questioning "Oh?" has a sinister ring. The answers will be found among the advertising. Did everyone read the editorials in week before last's Viking? If not, proceed to dig up your copy of that paper. Mayhap it will inspire someone to fulfill the desire of both the editor and the readers for more definite information" on the place of sports in the modern college or university. The point which is herein striving for expression is that any students wishing to submit their opinions concerning this particular question may find near at hand considerable information about it at their disposal. In the general reading room of the library, classed under "amusements" in the 790 division, are numerous books dealing with sports in colleges. By glancing through them What Former Athletes Are Doing Survey Shows Alumni Dominate In Educational Instruction By Tony Zambas Dial And Listen By Frank Jones Well, you lucky (?) people, this is the latest addition to your worthy paper. Our aim^ a radio review that will help to determine worthwhile entertainment combined with educational programs. Also data on celebrities, speakers, etc., will be given. The radio should not be valued for music only. Modern broadcasts range from Commander Byrd's present trip to Prudence Penny on "How to Make Biscuits." Radio listening is a personal matter. If your faculties do not permit "The March of Time" to interfere with jazz recordings, thatis your business. Stick to it. You would just be wasting your time with Roosevelt, Lawrence Tibbett, George Gershwin, etc., when you could be listening to Guy Lombardo playing "Whistling Cowboy." Just a few examples of what we mean by "worthwhile" programs. Marion Talley, Kaufman and Connelly (Of Thee I Sing and Green Pastures), Nino Martini, Arturo Toscanini, and the New York Philharmonic, are headliners every Sunday. Top this off with Fred Waring's highly-touted Pennsylvanians and it's a full day. Recommended programs: Sunday, usually at 7, NBC political talks by a prominent official. Sometimes this is Mr. Roosevelt. Monday, 5:30, CBSf Bing Crosby (the girls cry for him). Friday, 5:30, CBS, "The best radio broadcast in the United States today—March of Time." No mention of the Saturday broadcasts of the Metropolitan Opera Company is necessary. Those who are interested, listen now. Those who don't have their "whistling cowboy" anyway. Best "don't" of the month: The Signal Gasoline's electrically transcribed "Tarzan (boom, boom) of the Apes." That is, unless* you happen to be in an extremely jocular mood.

BELLINGHAM. WASHINGTON Vikings Play Mt. Vernon Five Tonight Skagit County Champs Have Team of Classy Ball Jugglers on Squad For a little limbering up, the men of Lappenbusch are taking on a synopsis of real basketball tonight in preparation for the terrible Wildcats of Ellensburg when they play the Parkers Independent team of Mount Vernon tonight on the Whatcom court. Furious over last week's trimming, the determined hill billies have been drilling hard on a fast-break that is to be tried out on the Air Star quintet tonight, which plays a classy brand of ball and will give, the Norsemen plenty to think about before the struggle comes to a close. Frender and Anderson have been showing plenty of improvement this week and may win a starting berth against the Nicholsonians next week, if they can show that scoring punch that Lappenbusch has been on the lookout for. Although the same team that .started against Cheney probably will start, the bench warmers will get their chance to show the folks, if they have that certain something that is needed to head off the terrible sandstorm from over the hump when they play Thursday. The Parker team is led by such stars as Minnehan, a mighty midget who flips 'em through the loop at all angles, being a former all-state forward, playing with Huntley Gordon the former W. S. C. star when they were at Mount Vernon high school together. Outside of winning the Skagit county championship, the team has played some of the best independent teams in the country including the star Gilmore team from Seattle. —Patronize the Advertisers— Frosh Downs Co-op In Fast Game, 45-28 Hot is the word which best describes the Frosh hoopsters as they were last Wednesday night, February 6. In defeating the Co-op five by the score of 45 to 28 they showed themselves to be the team to win in this last half of the intramural league race. Led by Bill Nielson, who . played center and rang up 19 points, the freshmen proceeded to exhibit 'some more of their co-operative features, their superb passing attack again standing out as the chief weapon of offense. The rest of the scoring by the Frosh team was about evenly divided, Joe Hager and Lou Nielson sharing second place honors with 8 tallies each. Jackson led in the scoring for the Co-op boys with 6 points, followed closely by Starland and Albee with 5 apiece. Odell, Co-op forward, sank two field goals, bjoth from difficult angles.

With Stone and Shenenberger leading the way, the newspaper five steadily increased their lead, the half time score being 20 to 9. Stone, smooth working forward, dished up enough points to win the game single. handed, scoring 18 markers. Shenenberger was also hot, accounting for 14 points. Hoban, Viking guard, chalked up 6 tallies for his team mates. The Barton hall boys played an open game, taking their shots whenever and wherever the opportunity availed itself. Gordon Millikan, lanky center, and E. Davidson, guard, scored 6 points each, with Bob Millikan dropping in the other 5 markers which the team registered. —Patronize the Advertisers— Sports Scribe Looks Into Other ^Pastures And what happens to our grid stars . . .

'Round him sat in a Fairy Ring The Fairies of Pottle, their Queen • and their King. And he told them a Story, out of his Head, And this is what the Story said ." And thusly the second grade children wafted their audience into a land of fairies, brownies and make-believe. The little play was presented by the children this morning at the training school assembly. The play had very little plot, but its central theme gave the children an opportunity to express rhythm in their dances. Mabel Ann Stiles and Keith Kep-linger, both of the second grade, . took the parts of two children, who, upon going into the forest to pick berries, b e c a m e hopelessly lost. Evening soon overtook them and after wandering aimlessly about, the pair sought a resting place under a sheltering tree, whereupon they immediately fell asleep from sheer exhaustion. A group of fairies appeared, and the sleeping children were the object of much awe and wonder. Not' until the Brownies arrived did they realize that the children were humans. With a little dance, the fairies sprinkled leaves over their perplexing find. Not~ knowing what to do with the "humans," the Royal Fairies danced for the children's dreams. Pingo, after drinking his fill of strawberry dew, wandered upon the scene and discovered the lost children, who awakened and took leave of their fairy hosts. "The play was composed almost entirely by the children," stated Miss Irene Elliott, second grade instructor^ "and the children who did not take part in the play were given a greater responsibility in the making of scenery." The costumes worn merely suggested the various characters such as a crown for the king and wands for the fairies. —Patronize the Advertisers— Gala Excursion To Deep Sea Planned Dorm Girls to Give Winter Dance Feb. 1 7 in Blue Room They say the Hesperus was a good ship with twenty-seven decks and a s t r aw bottom and the only reason she sank was that the sea-horses ate the straw bottom out.

We can't think of any scathing comments. Besides, we think politics are boring. So skip it this week. Learn to play the piano in six easy" lessons without a piano! We positively guarantee results for anyone with a lordosis curve. Lesson One For the first week practice having your neck loose so that when you are playing your head wobbles slightly. Pretend that your neck is a spring. Learn to be quick on the rebound, because after mastering the next lesson in flinging your hands around it will be necessary for self-protection. Lesson Two Sit down flat on the floor. This is to keep from being interrupted by having the furniture hit you. Relax completely until your head is between the knees.

A certificate of award, announcing the decision, was received by the editor of the 1936 annual last Tuesday. The judging of yearbooks is a part of the services rendered by the National Scholastic Press association at wie University of Minnesota. The rating, one of the . highest received by a Normal annual in years, is one step higher than that given the 1934 Klipsun. A handbook, with detailed criticism, has been mailed and when it arrives will show the points in tne book worthy of special praise. In colors of black and gold, the 1935 Klipsun featured night scenes. . . . "a new pictorial slant oh the beauties of the campus". Curved gilt lines and bold contrasts of black and white in the scenic photography were characteristics of the opening and section pages. Cliff Johnson managed the business end of the annual, while other members of the staff were:- Helen Hostetter, Roy Johnson, Ivar Larson, Hurley Boggess, Phil Campbell, Mel-vin Munson, Marie deGallier, Francis Fisher, Nancy Jane Smith, Harry Goheen, Frisby Fresk, Beth Han-kins and Chuck Wilson. Miss Anna Ullin and Herbert Ruckmick were advisors. o • Junior-Senior Hop Set For Saturday Orloff and Norris Co-Chairmen of Dance; Tweit to Play Byrd Reveals Sense of Humor Noted Explorer Says Biggest Thrill of Expedition Was Discovery of Mountains; Claims He Is 'Bum* Cook By Louane Pinckney and Margaret Thon "My biggest thrill on the last expedition was staying 120 miles out from Little America during the six month's polar night," revealed Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd in an interview granted two Viking reporters while the explorer was on his way from the Bellingham Hotel to the American Theater before his lecture Wednesday afternoon. "And the biggest kick I got was discovering new mountain ranges," he added. Displaying a delightful humor concerning his own cooking while isolated at the advance base, the noted explorer laughed, "Yes, and I'm a pretty bum cook. To complicate matters, I lost my cook book, so I had an awful time for about six weeks." When the reporters inquired if the modern athletically-minded young woman would ever have a chance to go along on his polar expedition, the explorer replied quickly. "Oh yes. I have had many applications from women in the past, and would like to take them along—like Beebe. I plan to take them on the expedition sometime." Backstage, while removing his coat in preparation for his lecture, Admiral Byrd said in concluding the interview, "By far the most important aspect of the whole expedition was the work done in the twenty-two divisions of science." As the Admiral had already given an hour's interview to Bellingham papers Wednesday morning, the Viking reporters wish to express appreciation for his consideration in granting them this opportunity. It was their biggest thrill.

The Inevitable initiatin took place at the print shop, Miller Sutherlen's. After hearing the gruesome "Mystery of the Chinamen" by Walt Sutherlen, the neophytes hiked through "Terror Gulch,' and were introduced to the "type lice." Tonight the aspiring young journalists will be formally welcomed into the Viking gang at a party to be held at the home of Editor Joan Hoppe. At this time they will each read ah interview they have written. They will conclude their initiation by washing the dishes. Initiates are: Don Zylstra, Bob White, Pat Stoddard. Aloha Gen-ther, Lois Boynton, Andrew Jackson, Mitchell Evich, and Dorothy Williams. Each one interviewed a prominent local citizen on some subject.

The newest development in giving an education to high school graduates who are on relief and can't afford to attend a college is the correspondence and extension courses to be offered students in any year of a 4-year college course. The Freshan College plan concerned only those who had had no college education. Last week President C. H. Fisher attended a meeting in Seattle called by Dr. Frederick M. Lash, director of education for the WPA on this subject. By the Freshman College plan the teachers were to be employed and the students taught in various communities throughout the state. Wherever 15 or 20 students could get together courses were to be offered them. This work was only for the freshman year of college. This new plan begins now and continues until June 30, 1936. The institutions of higher learning throughout the state are being asked to assist Dr. Lash supervise, these courses. o — W Club Initiates Men By Shocking Reception Plus Eggs and Quinine Meeting in the little gym and men's locker rooms, new members of the "W" club were initiated at 7:00 Tuesday evening, January 13. Maurice Tarte and Bill Ames had prepared an electrical reception for the martyrs. For dessert they were given quinine and mashed raw eggs. After they were half-drowned and soundly spanked the lights were turned off and their clothes were mixed up. Finding some apparel and donning it the culprits were marched around and through the iibrary singing "Aima Mater*'. They were then refreshed at the cafeteria. Coach Lappenbusch spoke on the success of the "W" club, and Mr. Sam Ford of the Coop, told the history of the club, as he was at the Normal when it originated. Monday and Tuesday of this week all new members wore a suit, red tie, garters, and a rose. o — Instructor Speaks On Worlds Danger Spots "Danger Spots in World Affairs", was the subject of the address given the student body of Mt.

Insult To Injury Reiteration, it is said, usually strengthens the impression made upon the human mind. Within these very doors we have the finest exception to this rule that could be found anywhere. Since time began, or I should say since the Viking began, at least once a quarter the edtor takes it upon himself to sternly rebuke the student body in a scathing but futile editorial on assembly conduct. Cuttingly he belabors the students, belittling their intelligence, calling them thick-skulled morons, uncultured boors, and all the insulting terms he can conjure up, to express his contempt. But then, as now, they only looked at him with a sweet, innocent smile and in the politest of tones said that most expressive of modern slang terms, "nuts!" I have nothing much to add to the tirade of condemnation which has fallen upon your deserving heads. I merely wish to humbly offer a few suggestions. It might remedy the situation if everyone could remain seated until the artist had a chance to finish the last note. Then President Fisher might dismiss the rows one at a time and we could mach out two-by- two to the tune of "Alma Mater" or perhaps "Buree Me Not on the Lone Prairee!" They say it works beautifully in the primary. Another alternative is that we all leave our shoes, particularly hobnail boots, outside the door, making it a little less obvious when we decide to go to lunch in the middle of a number. But after all, you say, these are our assemblies. We pay for them so we ought to have the privilege of walking or clumping out in the middle. What does it matter to us if we are spoiling the program for others. What difference does it make if townspeople do think we are a bunch of rude youngsters. We stand for individualism, first, last, and always. ^ A very fine attitude, a noble attitude indeed. And Snow simper and say "nuts!" \ Is this the Bartons-Daniels game of isn't it? Go-iMy gosh!

"Now what would you just love to do first," asked their Uncle Bill as they stood shyly caps in hand, just inside the door? "Let's play fairies," said little Miles, hopping up and down on one foot. So they did—it was such a pretty sight to see each of them get turned into jumping jacks with the tlectric (modern equivalent) wane. And the party progressed. After the wee ones had tired of riding these rocking (?) horses they all wanted to sing. But, of course, one must have fancy dress for that,— so, each traded one article of clothing with another, the generous little souls. (At least, somebody said they traded, it might have been forced upon them—but I can't believe the little darlings would do anything like that—). Plenty Expensive By Margaret Perkins Monday I went on an exploration trip around the new P. E. building site—or perhaps I should say sight. Today I got my cleaning bill and discovered that P. E. really means Plenty Expensive. Being of an adventurous spirit, I decided to locate the swimming pool. I asked a workman to point out the site of the great excavation. He gestured toward a lump of mud. I'm not sure yet where the pool is, but I'm sure I saw enough water for two. Many men were wading around in the shallow end, the water as yet being too thick to swim in. A workman in hip boots and a mustache was running around the girls' locker rooms, "and another was standing in the middle of the gym, tossing shovelfuls oi mud in the direction of the gallery, as indiscriminately as a small-town politician. All the workers wade around in hip boots.

But every good time must cease and it was time for beddy, so the weary but happy little men went home. o— Happy Hollers "Yes", said the little deer, "It's fawn to be fooled".

JSub Although the Viking squad put up a noble battle to the finish, the Italian Athletic club of Seattle finally defeated them by a score of 31-32. During the first half of the game the Italians took a lead on the Vikings and held it until the end of the half. In the last half, the Vikings were ahead 31-30 until the Italian team made a final spurt and changed the score to 31-32 in their favor just before the whistle blew for the end of the game. Murray, the tall Italian center, proved himself a match for Phair, of the Viking squad, but Phair used his length to good advantage in checking. Stutz, guard, was high scoring man for the Vikings with ten points to his credit. Although running up a high score for a guard, he was checking his man carefully. Dombroski, who entered the game near the end of the first half, was next to high scorer with eight points. 25-22 Defeat Handed UBC; Jinx Overcome Vikings Show Best Team Work Since First of Year; Spirit In Team High Looking It Over Viking Hoop Squad Trounces Triangles YMCA Team Downed Saturday With Score 51 to 36 Playing 30-minute halves, the Bellingham Normal Vikings trounced the YMCA Triangles of the city league by a score of 51 to 36, Saturday, January 11. Dick Carver, rangy Viking forward, continued his high scoring of past performances by tossing in 21 points. While his teammate, Bud Vandergriend, scored 11. Dick Smith, fancy* passing forward, and Earl Jewell, rugged guard, scored 11 and 10 points respectively for the Triangles. A mere handful of spectators attended the game, possibly due to the Women's League skating party at the State Street auditorium the same evening. Defeating the University of British Columbia Wednesday night by a close score of 22-25 broke the jinx between that school and the Vikings. Last year, the same team defeated the Vikings by four points in both the games that were played. In the first half, the Viking cause looked rather sad. They were checking their men closely and showing wonderful team work but the UBC team seemed very capable of shooting from back of the foul line and making their shots. The first half ended with the UBC squad in the lead by two points. When the Vikings came back on the floor for the second half, they immediately started forging ahead of their opponents. Combining team work with plenty of spirit they ran the score up to 22-25 to take the game away in their favor. The Vikings were checking better Wednesday night than any other time this year, as well as showing good team work on the offensive. Coach Lappenbuch figures he has a better chance of defeating Ellensburg and Cheney this year than in past years. Ellensburg won from UBC this season by one point. And they quit having We Ladies just when Mel Munson was going to write it! Think they'll cut the WAA if he decides to write that? From the sidelines is appears that Dick Carver has come keen compe tition for his pivot position. In fact, it seems that all Carver has is the competition and Phair has the berth. But the Carver fans aren't worried. Weren't the names of the teams misplaced in the Monday evening game? The Seattle men were awfully blond for Italians and the Norsemen—you know, I've had my doubts for some time as to their Scandinavian ancestry. As for the Bartons-Daniels game, perhaps Overlooking it would be better than Looking it Over. Comparing the size of the players, Bartons should have been allowed 8 players to the 5 of Daniels. Incidentally, how many players are permitted on the floor at one time? But it was a good basket-brawl game while it lasted. If Lappy were asked to give the weather forecast for the Vikings he would probably say, "Oh, Phair, just Phair". "Wanna buy a horse?" is the plea of the W club. Shock absorbers were what the initiates needed last Tuesday evening, when riding the bucking bronco. By the way, is the W club losing its morale? The idea of putting the pledges under the showers. Such sissies! Bellingham bay used to have the pleasure of dampening everything but the spirit of those initiated. Jerry Paolergio ought to be given an initiation himself. He didn't even forsake the locals when they played last Monday. Maybe some of his Italian relatives were on the Seattle team. That's loyalty for you. Three cheers for you, Jerry. But Coach Lappy should have seen some of his—oops. I almost forget I promised to overlook that, too.

A record of five wins and two losses look pretty good for a team that has, played together no longer than have, the Jayvees. Wednesday's game proved to be the regular rough game played by the Palm Garden football stars. Tarte was given an early shower for unnecessary roughness. Oscar Starlund, Jayvee center, played a swell game at center and scored nine points besides holding his man scoreless. Pat Jacobsen, regular forward, was out of the game with a sprained ankle.

At a meeting for all the prospective members, held yesterday morning, the following officers were elected: president, Kenny Wickstrom; vice-president, Newell Hawkinson; secretary- treasurer, Helen Turner; social secretary, Florence McBeath; and ski chairman, Chet Ullin.

Hoppe, Dr. E. A. Bond, and Sam Carver. Although there are about 70 students who have registered their enthusiasm by signing the petition of the club, there are only about 30 charter members. "There is still plenty of room for any additions to the club," is the invitation of the club officers. The committee in charge of the arrangements for transportation of the member to and from Mount Baker is trying to secure a bus. They hope that it will be possible to make the price for the trip only $1.00, the same as it is for the Mount Baker club. o Week-end At Glacier January 24, 25, 26 Plan of Viking Staff By Helen Hostetter Arctic wastes, played by the tranquil town of Glacier, will soon re-verbrate with the yowls of Normal morons, played by the reporters of the Northwest Viking.

Plans are being supervised by chairman Louane Pinckney of the entertainment committee, Lucille Lee, head of the transportation committee, Phyllis Robinson, chairman of the invitation group, and Margaret Thon, in charge of eats. Many students who formerly Worked on the Viking are being invited to the party. Faculty sponsers will be Miss Pauline Potter and Miss Anna Ullin. . o -.— Effect of Colors, Lines Studied by Art Classes Members of the art appreciation classes are studying types and colors of dress and millinery that are most flattering to themselves. Drap-ihgs of cloths of neutral color and cards of varied color held near the face show the effect of different colors upon the eyes, hair, and complexion. : As this is interesting only to the feminine members of the class, the nien students have been studying the effect of background colors. Little paper squares of ^the same shade are pasted on backgrounds of varied hues, each background caus-irig the square to appear a different shade. * Established 1889 Pacific Laundry Phones 126 and 127 Editor Chooses All Staff Heads On Wednesday Johnston To Be Managing Editor; Pinckney, Feature Editor; Lee, News With the appointment of department heads made Wednesday by Editor Joan Hoppe, the Viking staff-for winter quarter was completed.

The new associate editor has served five quarters on the school newspaper, three quarters of which were spent at the desk of the news editor. She was also girls' editor of the Fair-haven high school annual and worked on the latest edition of the Self- Starter. The art work on this year's Klipsun will be done by Eleanor Reasoner, who was art editor of the Pah-haven Aurora for two years and also served in the same capacity on the Junior Viking. Three people will be responsible for the photography of the annual. Janet Thorne served as snapshot and art editor of the Fairhaven Aurora. Donovan Reeves was at one time art editor of the Viking. Another Viking staff member who joins this group is Warren Toms, Who took time out from his photography courses to be business manager of the summer Viking. Clarence Soukup and Elsie Jensen will be in charge of the sport section.

Classes will be covered by Jeanne Borgstedt, a Viking reporter, who was feature editor of the Everett Students Exempt Eight Freshmen Not Required To Take Comp. After taking a test last Tuesday a select group of freshmen were exempted from all required English courses. The test was a theme test. Every paper was read and corrected by Miss Lucy Kangley, Dr. M. F. Cederstrom and Dr. A. C. Hicks. Their combined opinions and corrections were used to select students whom they thought had an adequate enough knowledge of English to be excused from the required English composition courses. Last year, which was the first time this test was given, there were fourteen students exempted. Although excused from these courses, the students may take them and receive credit as usual. Those who passed are: Bet-tie Adams, Helen Davis, Kathleen Dougan, David Jenkins, Alice Molenkamp, Madeline Thayer, Whitney Wear, and Jean Wellington.

Miss Bouck left on the same day that the telegram was received from Seattle asking for an emergency teacher. The boat on which she sailed was the last one leaving for Nome before spring. She will probably arrive the first of next week. Miss Allegra Jones, secretary to Miss Elizabeth Hopper of the Appointment bureau, is taking Miss Bouck's place in the dean's office during fall quarter.

New Instructor Enjoys Hiking, Tennis; Plans Tco Sail for London in January "This is the first time I've ever been considered important enough for an interview," was the statement Miss Virginia Bever, new social science instructor, made when approached by the reporter. After completing a three-year course at Normal, Miss Bever was graduated from the University of Washington and the University of California. She has her bachelor of arts and master of education degrees. Rec Hour Tonight Kangley, Bond Are Sponsors For First Dance Rec hour, the first of the fall quarter, will be held after the football pep rally tonight in the Big gym starting at 8:00 p. m., with Marion Haydon as student sponsor.

While a student at the Belling-ham Normal, she belonged to the International Relations club, the Women's Athletic association, Scholarship society, Social Science club and the Inter-Club council. When asked what she planned to do after this quarter she replied, "I am planning to go to London on a scholarship, providing there are not too many wars in the meantime." Hall Holds Election Officers of Enger hall for fall quarter are president, Luella Kersh; social chairman, Helen Ullevig; reporter, Eleanor Wicklund.

Oscar Starlund, student instructor in charge, was very pleased with the turnout. Although the first few classes will be devoted to exercises and marching in an effort to give the beginners the rhythm of the dance," Mr. Starlund hopes to have the class actually dancing by the end of next week. States instructor Starlund, "From then on,- their ability will increase in proportion to the amount of time they spend on the floor." Last Tuesday, after the exercises were over, the dancers who had been standing on the sidelines were invited to dance. For half an hour they enjoyed themselves, many of them dancing with the beginners. Working with Starlund are Martha Lou Pulver, assistant instructor and Eleanor Partridge, pianist. o Delegates to Convention Review Experiences For Opening Club Session Margaret Kane, Alice Seemons, and Robert Barnhart, delegates to the International Relations conference at Reed college, Portland, Ore., last summer, reported on their experiences at the first meeting of the International Relations club Thursday, October 7. After the reports a lengthy and lively discussion took place. The attention of those present was called to the fact that there is a wealth of pamphlets on topics dealing with international affairs in social science office. Same of the members have volunteered to discuss happenings in each of the several major countries after which the various talks will "be discussed in an attempt to integrate the information given. Meetings are open to all students without regard to membership according to Neill Power, vice-president.

Romp at Rec Hour Socratic Observations A contagion, spreading with greater rapidity than cholera—leaving effects more devastating than bubonic is sweeping this country today. Into field and newspaper office—into seaport and campus this epidemic has found its way. The strike, previously a lawful, peaceful means of employees gaining justice and a hearing from their employer, has now almost taken the notorious place held by bootlegging before prohibition, that of a universal racket. It has been the cause dirct and indirect of bloodshed and death— of bitterness, hatred, and poverty. It has even invaded the old, established institution, the school. For example, at Columbia university while President Nicholas Murray Butler gave his welcoming address, in another part of the campus the radical American Student union planned a mass meeting to arouse students to stage a general walk-out unless a previously expelled boxing champion be reinstated. This condition seems to be a reflection of the spirit of the times, the spirit of discontent, the desire for change. People everywhere are wondering where is the world going? Toward what are we headed? But who can say? In Lighter Vein But heigho and what's the difference. Let lettuce become overrun with weeds. Let great ships he halt-loaded with rotting cargo.

EARL ECKERT is gradually evolving a technique on his dormitory beat bequeathed to him by the late ALYMER BRIGHT. Being of a rather more shy and retiring disposition than Bright, Eckert is often seen in the early morning making mysterious trips across the campus. Because of the terrific speed of Eck-ert's vehicle, GEORGE DACK has termed it the "express." It is rumored that STAN WILLIS had the tip of his finger bitten off by some young lady (?). It isn't so much the loss of the finger, Stan, but it's the principle of the thing. BETTY FRANKLIN has made herself self-appointed manager of CATHERINE SMITH. Betty wants to be sure that Catherine goes with the right boys. STEWART HIBBS was one of the first to be recommended. Note to MR. HOPPE: This week FRANCES PELEGREN sent in a frantic plea for the job of Suzy in your coming play. Please tell all other applicants to discontinue rehearsals. Thank you! The name Ed and a big W sweater seem to have quite an attraction for NANCY F. HUTTON or vice versa. First it was ED MURPHY who was warming Nancy's heart strings, but ED TOMCO has also been seen in a huddle with the young lady. Come, Nancy, what's it to be, a touchdown or just a love game? Highbrowitters The other morning a humble and dejected creature was seen making its way from the library doors of a certain college to a seculded spot beneath the needle encrusted limbs of the pine trees a short distance away. A spectator followed to determine in what biological classification the figure might belong. The sorrowful being was in the act of pressing a large pistol to his temple, perhaps to counteract its mood indigo with a bright red inspiration. Sensing the approach of an intruder, the figure pocketed the weapon hastily, and then stood shamefacedly waiting. The spectator, unable to remember from Emily Post what to do in such an emergency, started to talk in a strained voice. He warned against the firing of the gun, because if for no other reason, it would disturb study conditions for the students in the library and in the classrooms. In a short while a state of near rationalization was reached, and the story in brief was that of a student, as it turned out to be, who had transferred from another educational institution. The hapless youth declared that life had changed and was not unbearable. He could not sign his name without placing his last name first, because of the chant sung to him from every paper and card during those first few days. His notebooks were crammed with great blocs of assignments to be worked upon in the reserve rooms between the hours of eight-thirty to five and from seven to nine-thirty in the evening. The great volumes of required reading that were his weekend assignments, could only be studied between the hours of two o'clock to six o'clock on Saturdays and Sundays. The entrance examinations had granted him the privilege of taking dumb-bell English and a constructive course in the Palmer method of better penmanship. His girl had to be away from the injurious night air and promptly tucked into bed at nine-forty-five. For this reason, he could be with ---------- Northwest Viking - 1936 October 9 - Page 3 ---------- WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELUNGHAM, WASHINGTON Help, Angel Earn His Salary Cheer the Vikings To Victory Looking It Ooer By Nftson What a peachy cleaning the Vikings gave the Italian Athletic club in the initial game of the season, last Saturday night. The Vikings' passing and blocking was really sensational, considering the sloppy gridiron and the fact that it was their first game of the year. Frizt Chorvat, one-year letter-man, and Cecil Clifton, a new recruit on the Norsemen's squad, appeared to be the nucleus of the strongest backfield that this school has ever had. If the Viking eleven clicks tomorrow night at it did last' week, the Gonzaga Frosh game is in the bag right now. A SERIOUS SERIES He gets the signal—he draws his arm back—THERE'S THE THROW—and it's a hit out into left field. Somebody picks it up and throws it to someone else on first and the mans out. One of the teams had to win and it might as well be the Yanks, even though the guys with their money on the Giants didnt think so. Volleyball Have you ever played volleyball? If you have there is a good opportunity to prove your skill at this sport by going down to the coach's office and putting your name on the list that Coach Sam-Carver has hanging on the bulletin board. Sam Is endeavoring to form an intramural volleyball league, so if you want to get in this league, regardless of whether you have played before or not, dash down to his office this afternoon and put your name on the dotted line. Speaking of volleyball, the coach at Lewiston, Idaho, has devised a new game that he calls 'Orientation.!" It is a combination of volleyball, basketball, and soccer* Your guess is as good as mine at to what the game would look like to a casual observer, but nevertheless it must take a versatile athlete to partake of the game. Credit for Guard Given Men in State Colleges Pull credit is now given for all National Guard training taken while attending the Bellingham Normal. Military training is required at the University of Washington and State colleges. This entails two years of training, drilling once a week without pay. The two local companies, I and K, offer this training. The privates receive $1.00 per drill with the scale graduating upward. There is no expense connected with this, as all equipment is issued to each enlisted man on the first night of drill. Drills are held on Wednesday evenings at eight o'clock in the Armory located on State and Pine streets.

Substation HIGHLAND CREAMERY 615 High Golf Added to Fall Intramural Sport Program Track Turnouts Well Under Way As Sol Plays Into Hands Of Contestants Song title "You Have to be a Football Hero," should diminish this fall, at least as far as Bellingham Normal intramural stars are concerned, as this year's program will probably break all records. Thanks to old Sol, track turnouts have progressed rapidly, with the boys majoring in long distance workouts. Volleyball, also on the program, has its chances of becoming a popular sport as about half a dozen players have signed up. A 36-hole golf tournament, to be held at the Lakeway course next week (18 holes a week for two weeks) finds an even dozen contestants on the list, among them Pat Jacobsen, former tri-Normal champ, his brother Jerry, Phil Kidder, ace of last year's squad, Lindsley, and Homer Morris, also lettermen. The basketball tournament will get under way about the first of November in the new gymnasium. Such rah! rah! boys as Moscrip, Dombroski, VanderGriend, letter-men, and Beahan, former Pairhaven high school guard, hold their own little civil war in the small gym after gym classes. Date of Completion Of Field Uncertain Soil Laid and Perfectly Leveled But Settling Lengthy Football enthusiasts are warned not to be disillusioned by what appears to be the near completion of the new PE building, as the latest report is that the field probably will not be ready for the 1937 football season. The statement, disappointing as it is, is almost final. However the direct amount of soil had been laid, and the field perfectly leveled, with the settling process requiring about six months' time. However, Coach Chuck Lappenbusch, who still has hopes of its use next fall, says that the waterpipes are now running water, and hopes that the final step is hastened before that time which is expected. On the other hand, however, the new gymnasium in the PE building will be ready for the first week of November, and all basketball games and turnouts will be held there. School's Quota of NYA Positions Reported Full With 78 students employed in NYA jobs, the quota allotted to Bellingham Normal is filled, according to Miss Ethel Church, secretary to the president. Only about one-quarter of the applicants have secured positions. Since nearly every student who applied for work was eligible according to the rules laid down by the Federal administration, the task of selecting persons impartially from such a large group proved very difficult. OPENING Saturday, October 10, 1936 Varna's Grocery 619 Garden Gonzaga Frosh Tackle Vikings Tomorrow Nite Bulldog Coach Has Strong Team; Expects To Win Victory • Over Locals Starting Lineups Named Lappenbusch Selects Fleet Backs In Opening Eleven In their first taste of real collegiate competition, the Viking grid-ders face the Gonzaga freshmen tomorrow night under the lights of Battersby field. It will be the first meeting of the two teams in the history of the schools. Gonzaga Has Strong Team With the strongest yearling team that ever romped on a Gonzaga gridiron, Coach Claude McGrath expects to give the Vikings a tough battle and has high hopes of a possible victory. McGrath and his two assistants have whipped the Pups into fighting shape and the game should be one of the best of the season. At the signal calling position McGrath has named John (Shimmy) Shimkus, a 190-pound lad from Indiana. Slated for the two halfback slots are Bert Jacobsen and Bill Meshishnek. Jacobsen is reported to be a good ball-toter and will share passing and kicking honors with Shimkus. Bud Zumwalt, a big fellow who has been ripping big holes in the Bulldog varsity line, will start at fullback. Working in front of this powerful backfield quartet, Coach McGrath has a strong forward line, averaging well over 190 pounds. Peterson Injured in Scrimmage The Vikings survived the Italian A. C. game without any injuries, but Verne Peterson, big tackle from the University of Washington, slipped his knee cap while driving through the line in scrimmage. Peterson will probably be lost for the Gonzaga game. Jack Claypole, aggressive end, will be changed to tackle to help bolster the center of the line. Lappenbusch Selects Starting Eleven Coach Charles Lappenbusch has named the following as possible bets for starting berths in tomorrow night's game: Stenir Kvinsland, due to his steady game with the Italians, will be at left end. Ermine Holtzheimer, a scrappy individual, will fill the other wing position.. Between the two ends will be such staunch personalities as Chet Ullin, Ed Tomco, Andy Maskie, Heinie Bengstine, and Eino Kallio. Kallio was injured during the first week of practice, but the big fellow is well again and will probably see lots of action in the Gonzaga game. Ernie Dzurich will be the field marshal for the Vikings. Morie Tarte's great work in the Italian game has definitely stamped him for the fullback slot. If Cecil Clifton can perfect his spin a bit better, he will be at one halfback post. Frizt Chorvat will complete the Bellingham backfield. It was Chorvat's long run that demoralized the visiting athletic club.

BELLING H us School as New Plan Noon Schedule Divided Into Three Periods for Luncheon, Rest, And Playing "To encourage better living conditions, avoid strain on the students, and to make for better poise, a new lunch system has been inaugurated in the training school," says Miss Mary E. Rich, director. The children now have aa half-hour each for lunch, rest, and play. Upper grades, from the fourth to the eighth eat"their lunches in the cafeteria, while the first and second grades lunch in their own room. Room 40, formerly the typing room for student-teachers, has been transformed into a lunch room and workshop for the third grade. Lunches for the lower grades are ordered in the morning from the cafeteria, the practice being tied in with their work in health and arithmetic. Rugs to Be Brought . Miss Pearl Merriman and Miss Katherine M. Casanova are working on a plan to have children in the lower grades bring rugs from home on which to lie down during rest period. If this does not meet with the approval of some parents, their children will be allowed to read quietly during this time. At the present time, pupils of the lower grades sit on the floor and those in the upper grades sit quietly in their seats while someone reads to them during rest period. "The rest period is being gradually worked out," says Miss Rich. "There is nothing definite about it. the object being complete relaxation and the removal of all strain." Playground work for the first two weeks has been carried on under the supervision of the eighth grade with the help of Miss Rich. Student teachers are now organizing the work they are to do for the quarter. The first week was spent in observing training school classes. £-0 Kewa Makes otwarii Second Tour of School Two Lectures To Be Delivered By Hindu Philosopher In Assemblies Barton's Beanery Has Fall Election Recalling the words of the famous liberator, Abraham Lincoln, "A house divided against itself cannot stand," Barton's hall, called "Beanery" by illiterate people, held a house meeting last Monday evening. The purpose of the meeting was to elect officers for the following year. It was also suggested that the new officers try to promote a more united interest of the boys in the affairs of the house. Officers elected at the meeting were as follows: Arne Johnson, president; Ed Porter, vice-president; Herbert Strain, secretary; Robert J. McConnell, reporter; Fred Kessell, sergearit-at-arms. o Dr. Kewal Motwani, Hindu philosopher and lecturer, making his second appearance on the program of the Washington College of Education, spoke in the assembly this morning discussing "India in the West". Dr. Motwani, who spoke last year to the students on various subjects of Hindu arts and culture of India, was received with much interest. Having been a professor of political science in two Indian national universities, presided over by India's two great leaders, Dr. Rabin-dranath Tagore and Mahatma Gandhi, and private secretary of the mayor of Karachi municipality (300,000 population) Dr. Motwani comes well equipped to talk on India. A high class Brahmin, who understands the people of India and having traveled in other countries he presents his people and their ideas to his listeners in a lucid style. This afternoon at a special assembly scheduled at 2 p. m. he will speak on "Indian Philosophy and a Study of Emerson. o Edens Hall Girls Take Up Football Science of Manipulating Pigskin Exhibited by Initiates Ldvegren Visits in Portlaricl; Edens Hall Select Officers; Countryman Attends Meeting Wendling and Erickson Spend Vacation in Alaska Girls Spend Week-End In Various Cities; Out-of-town guests, house elec- j Francis Elliott of St. Martins coitions, parties, trips, and jaunts [ lege was a visitor at Viking manor homeward concluded the march of society this week. Former Normal students who visited at Edens hall last week-end were: Kathleen Bush, who is now teaching at Kingston; Irene Lund-berg, who is teaching in Thatcher; and Gwen Shartom, who is teaching in Redmond. At their first business meeting of the year on Tuesday, September 29, the girls of Edens hall elected the following officers: president, Maureen McClellan; social chairman, Phyllis Plummer; vice president, Virginia Holm; secretary-treasurer, Margaret Kane; and house reporter, Jeanne Borgstedt. Martha Lou Pulver entertained Friday evening with a dinner party honoring Marion Haydon. Town guests included Marguerite Thompson, Jean LeValley, Carol Hughes, and Elizabeth Cozier. Luella Kersh of Enger hall has had as her guest for the past two weeks her sister Geneva Kersh. Helen TJllevig spent the week-end at her home in Seattle. Under New Management Housekeping Supplies Breakfasts Lunches Dinners SIP'n BITE By Dorothy Nagle Initiation in Edens hall was a huge success, thanks to the committees that prepared the beating for the poor defenseless girls. These various committees were headed by several of the older girls. The penalty committee was headed by Jeanne Borgstedt, the refreshment committee by Dorothy Peterson, the decoration committee by Helen Campbell, the paddle committee by Barbara Bixby, the invitation committee by Margaret Greely, the dinner committee by Martha Lou Pulver, and the songs by Doris Condo-george. The motive of the initiation was carried out in a football idea. Every new girl had to represent a college, and dress as the mascot of that particular school. Some of the outfits were very hilarious as well as cleyer. The main feature Tuesday was the skit put on by some of the older girls. Can you see Pat Stoddard as Chet Ullin or some other football hero or Jeanne Borgstedt as the diminuitve water boy? The penalty committee spent many sleepless nights thinking and planning things to do. One of the best stunts featured Elizabeth Card-well singing "Let Me Call You Sweetheart" to none other than Ed Tomco, president of the W club, who was as embarrassed as she. The paddle committee was pointedly persuasive with girls who couldn't sing like Mae West, and must have received attention themselves last year, the way they gave it to the new girls. o FAMOUS MURDER: The Egyptian hanging on the wall. Isn't it just killing? Phew, that one Sphinx!) Girls Week-end Out of Town Despite the fact that it was the first week-end at school, several girls from Edens hall spent last v/eek-end out of town. Katherine Kohervig went to Everett, Betty Tripp spent the week-end in Sumas, Virginia Weston in Seattle, Bonnie Jeanne Wilson in Blaine, June Ker-lee in Burlington, and Marion El-stad in Edison. as the guest of Jack Rauch. He attended the football game during his stay here. He is a member of St. Martin's football squad. Faith Scheyer visited at Edens hall last week-end. She is teaching at Avon this year. Faculty Members Travel Miss Ruth Piatt of the Science department visited in Montana for one month during the summer. She spent most of her time at Lake Flathead. Miss Linda Countryman of the Home Economics department took a trip to Hawaii this summer, visiting her brother and wife and children on the island of Maui, at Wailugu. She went over on the same boat as Miss Bertha Crawford of the training school and Miss Marian Snow of the library staff. On her return trip she went through Los Angeles and San Francisco, where she visited relatives. "One of my most exciting experiences," stated Miss Countryman, "was body surfing." Mary Jane Moergeli had as her guests at dinner Katherine Randells and Jerry Ringstad, both students of the University of Washington. In correction of a mistake made in this column last week, Corrine Young, not Louise McAbee, traveled through ten states this summer and attended the Texas Centennial exposition. Guests in Bellingham from the University of Washington who formerly attended the Normal were: Harlan Jones, Pat Wade, Ralph Shenenberger, all former members of the Viking staff. Other former Normalites who visited in Bellingham over the weekend include Julius Dornblut, former Viking editor, teacher at Alderwood Manor; Victor Dickinson, former Viking business manager, teacher at Lynden; and Francis Fisher, teacher at Riverfcon Height. Mrs. Bundt visited her daughter, Dorothy, last week-end at Edens hall. Miss Elsie Wendling of the training school and Miss Emma Erickson of the Education department spent almost a month of the summer in Alaska. They left from Vancouver on a Canadian boat and landed at Skagway, going from there to scenic Lake Atlan, where they saw all the aspects of gold mining. Next they went to Dawson and down the Yukon and up Tenana river, stopping at Fairbanks. They stayed a day at McKinley park and stopped next at Mantanuska valley. They took a boat from Seward back to the United States. "It is interesting to note the differences between the coastal area and the interior, PPPPP

LOW DOWN-VIKING GANG By Lines It was a painful blow to us to learn that we weren't the smartest boy on earth; our teachers had been kidding us all this time. Rather the papers claim that some little 7-year-old -back East has that distinction. His highest intelligent quotient—230 —they tell us, doesn't necessarily mean that he knows that much, but just wait—he ain't never been to college yet. A thought persistent from last Week's Campi column needs airing. It seems that the student body of Ashland college, in a most democratic fit, abolished editorials from their publication on the grounds thai the editor's ideas are no better than any one else's. Fine. But we'll bet it didn't stop the editor from thinking what he pleased. Nor did it help anyone else to form an idea. Enlarging still further (and we hope ye ed. doesn't mind this): how would you compare the opinions of the person who sits three seals to your right and one row behind in any class you wish with those expressed in the editorial column of the Viking? Tough Varsity Hoop Schedule Ready for '35 Veterans Are Lacking As Basket Artists Train For Heavy Scheduled Season Dunigan, Sollie Expected New Men Will Enroll Next Term To Strengthen Squad Lest ye forget, there are eight more shopping days until Christmas. Don't throw it, I won't say it again! Yes, it's easy to estimate how near the final exams are. According to the unofficial statistician who sits merrily in the Viking office window, pecking at a typewriter and warbling gaily at pretty maidens on the sidewalks below, the number of vacant seats in the reserve room for any given period decreases in an inverse ratio corresponding to the square of the number of days until the end of the quarter. This means that if you were able to bee line across the campus from the front entrance, thus completing the hypotenuse of a right triangle, you have theoretically doubled your chances to get the book you want. In other words—allee samee—the early worm gets the book. We see by the papers that WSC and the U of W column writers are having a verbal scrap over the theoretical ability of their respective schools to capture and maintain trophies. According to the Seattle gentleman, the schools are even up, each having a score of three. But the enthusiast from east of the mountains claims there is a glaring mistake in the computation. It seems that two years ago there Was a free-for-all in which a stuffed cougar, captured, from the Pullmaniles and held 16 years, was badly mangled and its remnants scattered hither and yon over the landscape. The easterners claim that they gathered up the greater portion of skin and tail while the University students kept only a small part of the stuffings in the battle. Therefore, WSC argues, they should be given a score greater than the Huskies. Apparently the Washington Staters care more for their precious skin than what's inside it. When Prexy Messegee comes to tabulate his private statistics in sociology, will that fatal 7.2 per cent of idiotic answers appear? Suggest we that he should have perused the questionnaire cards in the Viking office that were filled out during registration where the usual percentage of goofy answers took a sudden boom. Should he be at all gullible, he would find that several notables and notorieties including the long dead and near dead all have registered and attend dances nightly and spend $40 for dance dresses and eat their meals at home in Peoria, Kansas, and so forth. BUT, here's the rub: Most of those phoney cards were filled out by members of the Viking staff themselves. We wonder if Messegee's poll of the Vikinglets will reveal the same percentage of irresponsibles. Pacing one of the hardest schedules in years and with only two regulars back so far, Coach Lappen-busch will have no easy task building a winning Viking basketball team. While prospects at present aren't any too bright, the opening of next quarter will probably see two or three veterans back and also several new men. Ray Dunigan and Gylf Sollie, veterans of last year's squad, will likely answer roll at the beginning of the quarter and there is a possibility Harold Fitzer, who led the Vikings in scoring last year, will also return. New Men Expected Dumbroski, a guard from Aberdeen, is expected to report at school next term as is Kiester, a 6 foot, 6 inch center from Oak Harbor. These men, along with several other prospects who might decide to take up their studies here, should help considerably to bolster up the present squad. While the schedule at present is only tentative, it nevertheless gives warning that once the season gets underway there will be no letups. Lappenbusch is at present negotiating with Roy Sandberg of CPS for a game and the date on the schedule is somewhat indefinite. 1935 Varsity Schedule Ellensburg—January 24, t h e r e ; February 7, here. Cheney—January 26, there; January 31, here. Yakima J. C—February 21, here. PLC—February 23, there. Other games with CPS, the U Frosh, Seattle college, and the University of British Columbia are also scheduled, but no definite dates have been set. Gallant Will Appear Here Next Tuesday Dorothy Gallant, young Canadian soprano from Vancouver, is to sing in assembly Tuesday, December 18. Cyril Haworth, flutist, also of Vancouver, will assist Miss Gallant. Beverly Morris at the piano. Some of the numbers Miss Gallant will sing are: "Sunlight," Harriet Ware; "A Picture," Pearl Curran; "Answer," Terry; "Care Serve," Handel; "Sun's Roses," Hawley, and "Alleluia," Mozart. Cyril"Haworth will also play several pieces on the flute: "Concertino," Chaminade, and "La Petite Bergere," Debussy. Miss Gallant comes highly recommended by Leona Torgerson, who says, "She not only excels with a beautiful voice and personal appearance, but her production is flawless." o Bond Expresses Views On National Conditions Dr. E. A. Bond, in speaking to the Kiwanis club last Tuesday at then-weekly luncheon, voiced the opinion that the national budget could be balanced only by inflation or heavier taxes. Of the alternatives mentioned, taxation is preferable, said Dr. Bond. Referring to the federal reserve banking system, Dr. Bond said that it has brought good results. o Alkisiahs Hold Party Christmas Presents, Games, Prove Popular Christmas spirit prevailed at the Alkisiah party last Monday, at Edens hall. A Christmas tree decorated with candy - canes, games, and * rish pond provided amusement for the club members and their three guests: Miss Janet Matthews and Miss Florence Johnson, members of the faculty, and Miss Nell Bryant, assistant school nurse. Test Week Looms Students Park Over Work Till Late Hours With test week beginning December 17, the library has ceased to be merely a campus beauty spot and has become a students' workshop. Likewise the main halls, erstwhile rendezvous for friendly chats and platonic flirtations, seem strangely quiet and deserted. The members of the school social register seem to have hibernated. One may almost suppose that the local leading lights are cramming in as frenzied a haste as the most insignificant member of the student body. Now indeed is the fable of the three little pigs in evidence; and those few who have built their intellectual houses of bricks, can sit back with a smug, self-satisfied smile, watching the frantic scurrying of those who have good times but straw houses. H. G. Wells To be Topic Program Is Announced for Final Meeting of Vanadis Bragi December 1 7 Discussion of toe works of H. G. Wells will be the program for the final Vanadis Bragl meeting of the quarter. The meeting will be held in the Edens Hall club room Monday, December 17, at 7:30 p. m. The program as announced is as follows: Doris Condogeorge, "Men Like Gods"; Sterling McPhail, "Tono Bungay"; Genevieve Strain, "Undying Fire"; Clyde Kendall, "Mr. Bluppington of Blup"; Wilson Way-lett, "The World of William Clis-sold"; Harry Windsor, review of Wells' early works. Educators of State Discuss Credentials To decide upon the requirements for credentials for principals of a few high schools and colleges for teacher training was the purpose of the meeting of the State Board of Education held on December 10 and 11 in Olympia. President C. H. Fisher represented the Normal. The necessary credentials for principals of several high schools, the elementary schools, and superintendents of schools were discussed at a previous meeting. "Requiring credentials is a new plan beyond that which was formerly used," says President Fisher. "A teacher's certificate was all that was necessary before." President Fisher says that statistics show that more teachers, experienced and inexperienced, are employed than last year. If this present condition continues, about 1,000 teachers will be needed in the next few years, he says. Assemblies Vary Winter Quarter Speakers and Musicians Offer Very Interesting Program for Coming Year Widely varying assembly programs for winter quarter promise to be entertaining as well as educational. President C. H. Fisher will be the speaker for the first assembly after the holidays. The Friday following that, the Legion quartet will give a group of musical selections. The lecturers for the months of February and March are: Frederick M. Zimmerman, a German lieutenant, Dudley Crafts Watson, Dr. No-YOng Park, Miss Tony Sender, and Emil Lengyel. Musicians Featured The musicians to be featured are: Nan Dybdahl Wiik, soprano; Bitten and Teitsworth, soprano and pianist; Lorraine Foster, soprano; Las Taptias, featuring a quartet. A light opera is to be sponsored by Lois Holt Brown on the evening of March 19. Dramatic programs are also scheduled; Victor H. Hoppe will give a reading; Miss Dorothy Crawford, of Seattle, a monologist, will give a series of dramatic readings. The last assembly will be given by the play production class. New School Club Has First Meeting Philosophy-Psychology Group, Has Eight Charter Members Eight charter members were present at the first regular meting of the Philosophy-Psychology club held at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Irving E. Miller, Wednesday evening, December 12. In the course of the business meeting Walt Miller and Mrs. Mac^ beth were elected delegates to the nominating convention of the ASB. Keith Sanford is the club's first representative to the Inter-club council. Pearl Rhodes, Keith Sanford, and Glen Greseth presented short papers as openers for discussion, followed by comments as to the possibilities of the organization by .Dr. Miller. Following the program, an informal lunch was served by Mrs. Miller. Men and Women Meet In Separate Assemblies Separate assemblies were held Tuesday, December 11, by the Men's club and the Women's league. Don Richardson and Victor Dickinson were elected the Men's club delegates to the coming nominating convention.

Society Desk Jean Tiley Society Editor Elenor Syre — Assistant Editor Art Desk Don Norlin _ Staff Artist Donovan Reeve - Staff Artist Suggested Transportation Solution Transportation, seemingly the missing link of the set-up, was given life as a possible Normalstad ally at the Board of Control informal dinner party last Wednesday. Until the present time Normalstad has been a "delightful spot" situated on the shores of Lake Whatcom. Perhaps 50 per cent of the students now in attendance have heard the name, yes, but have not thought of it as a practical enough place for many student affairs and meetings. Inconvenience seems to have been the main reason why more of the students have not visited Normalstad in the past. It is extremely annoying to walk four miles from the streetcar line, when automobiles are not available. Now a faculty member of the board has suggested purchasing an old car which could be rebuilt as a twenty or twenty-five passenger bus. With such a bus at the disposal of the students, afternoon club meetings and picnics at the Normal lake property would be indeed plausible. Upkeep could be secured by charging a small sum for each passenger. Normalstad deserves to be used frequently. // has even been suggested that Campus Day be transplanted from our near perfect grounds surrounding this institution to the Lake Whatcom acreage. Schools Vs. Battleships Japan threatens to increase the size of her navy and the United States answers by saying it is quite ready to enter any race to spend more billions for destruction. No one voices disapproval. Yet, when educators mention their plight and venture a suggestion that a little more money spent for schools would do a great deal of good,, there is loud wail about high taxes. A drunken philosophy pervades a. drowsy world when men are eager to give their best to destroy but begrudge giving a pittance to build a more solid social structure. Never has there been a time when the ability to evaluate has been more necessary and seldom if ever has it been more lacking. Were You Ever Bit By Wiggling Bugs? Imagine a guttering candle bombarded by the squeaks of a rattling attic, a black, frayed figure hunched over a dusty pine table devouring with wild eyes three books at a time. Since we've started to imagine, I imagine our professors and little brothers image this is what we're about the last week of the quarter. It isn't though; that's a liberal German translation for the pain in the back of my head. It Gets Worse Now suppose you didn't have a paper in your hands, weren't reading this column which I didn't write, and if it wasn't printed if I did, what would the capital of New Guiana be, mark true or false. That's not only a typical exam question but it's how a certain person will feel about a test as he reads the bulletin next Thursday morning. Still Worse Next, before it is too late, our questions. I am glad to receive all questions as are Chase and Sand-born and Ed Wynn. The question: Have you caught up on your reading? The answer: No, all the funny papers were off the rack. The question: Why is the stage so level? The answer: Because so many assembly programs fell flat. Read the Viking adds, dear Victor. Paging Philip Morris to say as many farewell speeches for the freshmen as welcome ones given last fall. This Is the Finish Long after science, history, and English, and this year's football team have been condemned to albums and moth balls some of you freshman, and even you sophomores on looking back at when you were frosh, wil smooth back your wrinkled foreheads and remember the long halls and the quaint denizens that inhabited them, mixed with a feeling of vacancy and the smell of varnish. I've never been bit by that kind of bug either. o An old oak tree, which has been bought by the Budapest university, is thought to be 1,500 years old. This 20-ton purchase will be used for experiment purposes. Special extension courses are being offered by Princeton university to residents of the vicinity who are desirous of further education. Here's Calendar of Week's Radio Hits The coming new year reminds us to stop in at our favorite merchant's and get a calendar. Which in turn reminds us to make out a calendar for the week's favorite program presentation. Sunday means Wayne King from CBS at 7 and Jack Benny the jokes-ter, from KOMO at 8:30. Later in the evening. KJR offers the organ program for the sleepy listeners at 10:15. On Monday, the ayes have it for NBC's yeast foamers at 5. Tuesday at 6 is the time for Chiffon Jazz, a pseudo-highbrow program that is spoiled only Dy the advent of the Perfect Pool at 8:30. On Wednesday, try CBS at 7 for the broadcast from Byrd down south where it's cold. At 7 o'clock the next evening from NBC, Paul Whiteman's orchestra may be heard and at 8:15, the restful Standard Symphony hour. For Friday and Saturday, dance programs seem to predominate on the musical bill of fare. On Friday, Vincent Lopez, CBS at 5:30, and Fiorita, NBC a 9:30 and 11:00. On Saturday, beginning at 930 NBC's offering of Let's Dance means two and a half hours of solid toe-tapping if you plan to stick through with it. o "Flirtation Walk" Plus "Anything Goes" Equal Popular Music in Air "Anything Goes," a hilarious, roaring musical comedy which takes place on an ocean liner, gives Broadway a change from her diet of melodrama. One can imagine how crazy in speech, character, and plot the play must be by the title. Anything the authqrs wrote was produced, no matter how ridiculous. Some good song hits are featured, "Blow, Gabriel, Blow," "You're the Top," and "I Get a Kick Out of You." "Flirtation Walk," with Dick Powell as the impudent private who acts as chauffeur for Ruby Keeler, the general's daughter, adapts ,flag-waving to musicomedy.. Such West Point traditions as plebe hazing, commencement exercises, and the Kissing Rock are featured. The film has been described as an animated advertisement for West Point, Scho-field Barracks in Hawaii, and military discipline in general. BricI^ Building is Remains of Boom Dining Gold Rush There were 10,000 men camped on Whatcom creek in '58, searching for gold. So bright were the prospects for a town that Richards and Hyatt brought the first bricks for a building into the territory. When the men had to go to Victoria for mining licenses, they took their houses as well as the contents. Only the two-story brick building was left as a remnant of the Fraser river gold rush. Later when the town had grown, the building was secured as the court house and one corner of the basement was used for a jail. La Conner had a larger population and ---------- Northwest Viking - 1934 December 14 - Page 3 ---------- WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Casaba Chatters By Arne Johnson Prom the looks of the Viking basketball turnout so far, Coach Charles Lappenbusch isn't being greeted by any overwhelming wealth of material. In the first place, the team will be seriously lacking in height. In mentioning height in college basketball, a six-foot man is just an average-sized athlete. And so far, we can't see many who scale over a fathom in height. Good teams are built with average-sized players, but in order to get tip-offs in this tri-normal league, a tall center who can jump is almost indispensable. Last year, EUensburg's lineup was saturated with overgrown material, and the Wildcats had little trouble keeping the ball above the Vikings' heads. Cheney had a tall center with only average forwards, but managed to get enough tip-offs to tie Ellens-burg for the championship, after the Wildcats had taken everything in the Northwest, including the University of Washington. So, in writing to Santa Claus, Coach Lappenbusch can^beg an athlete somewhere in the neighborhood of 6 feet, 4 or 5 inches, able to handle himself like a cat, and capable of getting the tip-off against most opponents. If this wish be granted, Lappenbusch will have less trouble letting our opponents from east of the mountains know that Belling-ham has a team in the league. From Cheney comes the news of another good team, with only two lettermen missing, and a wealth of fresh material on hand. However, the Savages will feel the loss of Hal-loway and Carlson keenly. At El-lensburg, we find Coach Leo Nicholson greeted by four lettermen, and some new men with plenty of speed but lack of experience. Nick will miss five of last year's men. Coach Sandy Sandberg of CPS is taking his Loggers on a barnstorming trip through Eastern Washington, and is trying to schedule games with California schools for the holiday tour. o Buy Christmas Seals For Real Normal Atmosphere And Good Food DROP IN AT DOW'S SERVUWELL Across From the Library Sandison Portrait and Commercial PHOTOGRAPHERS Alexander on Top Foul Shooting Race Is Close; Starlund Second Alexander, with 84, pushed into the lead in the foul-shool-ing contest as the fifth week was started. Starlund is close behind with 83, and Tuttle is right after him with 78.

The winners were ahead at the end of the first half by a narrow margin of two points but were able to increase this lead somewhat. By defeating the Northwest Vikings it will be possible for Barton's to tie for championship. Scoring in the game was led by Pat Jacobson, with 7 points, who played guard for Barton's.

The entertainment was in the form of toasts. Helping the chairmen were several committees: menu, Mildred Stoeker, Geraldine Kennedy; program, Ruth Moller,.. Betty.. Ewing;.. decorations, Aloha Genther, Rose Puett, Maureen McClelland, Dorothy Peterson. Sports awards were given out by Marie deGallier, president. The hockey schedule was completed this week when the freshmen won over the upperclassmen. Rain and fog made the playing much harder for both sides. The season is over, and many complain of banged-up shins and stiff backs. Nevertheless, all claim they had a grand time while it lasted, and are sorry to see the quarter end. The sophomore volleyball team took the cake in their last game, was the best of the quarter. With the score almost the same, and both sides working hard to gain the lead; it was very exciting and unusually close. In the intramurals, the Arabs triumphed over the Etnas and the Crumbs. Stduents of Brown university chose medicine and engineering as the most popular courses in the curriculum. Buy Tuberculosis Seals mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Do Your Christmas Shopping NOW!

The clubs which are functioning this quarter are: Art, Airplane, Cooking, Industrial Arts, Science, and Stamp clubs. At the beginning of each quarter, all the pupils of the fourth, fifth, and sixth grades pool their interests, and clubs for the quarter are formed. Students from the Normal school who are interested in some one of these clubs, and who want the experience offered by working informally with the children, usually work with a faculty member in the organization and program of a group. The clubs meet each Wednesday afternoon from 2 until 3. The groups are mixed. Fourth, fifth, and sixth grade boys and girls are represented in all clubs but one. Up until now, no girl has chosen to be a member of the Airplane club. There is a great deal of give and take in the matter of skills and ideas. Miss Pearl Merriman, fourth grade teacher, who is greatly interested in this work and who has been a leader in the organization of these clubs in the Campus school, feels that the best learning of the day takes place in situations such as these clubs produce. At the end of the quarter, each club sometimes has a display or an •"'open house." so that the other children may see what they have accomplished. As the children change, so do the interests and the type of club. Last year, a Drama club and a Rhythm club were organized. Library Receives Journalism Books Pour new journalism books have recently been received by the library and are to be put in general circulation. They are written in a very interesting and practical style, according to Mrs. Ruth Burnet, news-writing teacher. They are as follows: "'Making' the School Newspaper," by Irving Crump; "Breaking Into Print," F. Fraser Bond; "American P r e ss Opinion," Allan Nevins; "Headlines and Deadlines," by Robert E. Garst and Theodore Menlihe Bernstein — o London Merchants Spar for Royalty Trade I n England, the highest ambition of any merchant is to have the king and queen for customers, and having' achieved this, he never fails to play it up in advertising. Recently a London butcher put up a sign announcing "Sausages, 1 shilling a pound." His comeptitor immediately advertised, "Sausages, 10 pence a pound." Next day the first butcher put up a sign reading, "Sausages under 1 shilling can not be guaranteed." This was met by his competitor with the announcement, "We furnish sausages for the king." The following • morning a new sign appeared over the first shop, "God Save the King," it read. o Bay Christmas Seals F R I E N D L Y S E R V I C E •If.

Kangley To Teach Following Quarter Miss Lucy Kangley, English in structor who has spent some time in the hospital recovering from injuries received in a fall, will be teaching again next quarter, according to friends. She plans to take residence at Edens hall or some nearby house that will be more convenient for her in going to and from school. Miss Kangley is now visiting with Miss Anna Ullin. o Educational Journal Author Gives Ideas "Recruitment of good teachers has always been a difficult task, and at present the economic and social conditions make it even more diffi cult," states Robert C. Woellner, of the University of Chicago, in a re cent issue of the Educational Journal. "The first of these circumstances," he continues, "is the large number of applications for teaching posi tions. A reported vacancy on the staff or even a mere rumor of one brings dozens of applications. The task of selecting from those apply ing, teachers who are best fitted for the positions opened, is indeed an onerous one. "Whether or not the methods of selecting teachers are adequate, in times of stress such as these, it should be the responsibility of school superintendents anal not that of political groups as is often the case." Art Department Holds New Christmas Display Christmas trees suitable for table decoration are on display in room 305. The room will be open until Friday, December 21. The sculpture work displayed in the cases is the outside work of the Orientation classes. The work is done in soap, wood, and plaster of paris. Miss Dorothy Mcllvain, art instructor, has arranged this exhibit to encourage students to express themselves in decorations and not feel dependent upon commercial work. Classes are held in room 305 on Wednesdays and Fridays from 1 to 2 o'clock, and in room 303 at 9 on Mondays, 8, 9, and 3 on Tuesdays, 8 and 3 on Wednesdays, 8, 9, and 3 Thursdays, 8, 9, and 3 on Fridays.

New Books Added To Oxford Series Poetry appreciation can be more fully realized when you stop to con sider that poetry is being more widely written by people of different classes, than by certain few aspiring poets, says Librarian Mabel Zoe Wilson. The Oxford series contains the rare gems of literature of foreign countries from 1300 to the present, Some of these books are: Oxford Book of English Verse, the Book of Russian Verse, and books of poetry from the Romance countries. The Book of Georgian Verse is the third book of a series of four volumes. This anthology includes those poets born under the four Georges, who seem to represent the rise and development of a distinct poetical epoch. —o "Don't dodge the sex issue," says Mrs. Grace A. G. Franks, teacher of home economics, Los Angeles high school, in a recent issue of a California periodical of education. "Sex education could well be taught in biology and hygiene classes, but the average teacher evades the issue of human sex and restricts teaching to a limited amount of instruction in personal habits." o Buy Christmas Seals WAHL Beauty Parlor j .

Varied Points of Interest Shown In Chicago to 4-H Club Members Who Represented Whatcon County "Delegates from 47 states and Canada were present at the annual national 4H Club Congress held in Chicago this year," says Francis Pugh, Normal student. Edith Lingbloom, also a Normal student, was another member who attended from Whatcom county. The Washington State Extension service and the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul, Pacific railroad sponsored the trip. Sears and Roebuck, Armour, Montgomery and Ward, Swift, Wilson, and International Harvester companies each gave a banquet for the members. Pen knives, pictures, and small autograph books were presented. The annual banquet was held in the Stevens Hotel ballroom which is said to be the most beautiful and richest in the world. A pageant called' "The History of America in Music" was presented at this banquet by an opera company. It was the best thing of its kind he had ever seen, said Pugh. The Field Museum, The Museum of Science and Industry, the Merchandise Mart, the Board of Trade, and the NBC studios were the places of interest visited by all the delegations. To Pugh the Museum of Science and Industry was the most interesting because of an artificial coal mine.

On May 7, they will compete with the winners from the other states comprising the Northwest district. This was the third biennial contest for student musicians sponsored by the National Federation of Music clubs. Miss Albers is a pupil of Edith R.

Pat Allan asked the Board in behalf of the Northwest Viking not to announce the outcome of the football plebiscite until the Friday issue fo the paper. This request was granted and he was also permitted to withhold the results of the representative man and co-ed contest until April 28. Bert Gallanger and Harriet Rickerson were .appointed by President John Christy to serve on the election board all day Wednesday. A letter from the eighth grade Service club of the training school was read requesting that the training school pupils be allowed to share equal rights with the older students as to the use of the old and new tennis courts. The board voted that they be confined to the old courts unless the others were not in use, as the demand for the use of the tennis courts now by the other students is too great. o ANNUAL NEARLY DONE Camera Crew to be Organized for . Campus Day Activities With the photography all done and the write-ups nearly all finished the 1933 Klipsun is well on its way to completion, keeping up the record made by previous annuals. The art work, including the cover design, is all done and the editor, Eilene Morrison, when visiting the Western Engraving Company in Seattle this week-end, was told that everything is all right. On campus day, according to the editor, there is to be a camera crew organized to take snap shots, because there have been practically none turned in so far and it is necessary to have a number of good snaps for the school-life section. o : • BOOKLET TO CONTAIN MANY NEW FEATURES PUSSYFOOT JOHNSON TALKS T01TUDENTS Dry Leader Speaks in Special Assembly Wednesday James E.

"Another Language", the play written by Rose Franken, opened in New York a year ago, and it is still running to enthusiastic audiences. Considered one of the outstanding hits of the year, the story tells about the bourgeoise American family, their regular habits—dinner every Tuesday night for the married sons and their wives at papa's home—and the youngest son and his wife, the two who speak "Another Language" —youth and its endless struggle against age and convention; its fearless bravery against the bulwarks of respectability.

All Normal Students and Faculty invited DR. E. A. BOND TO LEAD HIKERS Party to Leave School at 6 A. M., Cost 75 Cents All students and faculty members are invited to attend the Skyline ridge hike which is to be taken on April 29. Although sponsored by the W. A. A. hiking club the members of this organization want to make the hike an enjoyable school event so they wish all who are interested in hiking to join them. Hikers to Leave Early The hikers will leave the school campus at 6 a. m., Saturday, under the leadership of Dr. E. A. Bond, an experienced mountain hike leader. Autos will be used to take the party to a mile and a half above Glacier on the Mt. Baker highway at which place the students will strike the trail to the ridge. The hikers will travel through the forest for five miles to the summit, the altitude of which is 5,600 feet. At this place the members of the party will have a chance to view the surrounding ranges and mountains, which include Baker, Shuksan, Table, and Church mountains, and also to do snow sliding or skiing. Lunches will be eaten on the ridge before the hikers begin their return trip. Dr. Bond expects the party to arrive back at the school by 7:00 p. m. The cost per hiker has been set at 75 cents, which includes the cost of transportation. Those who wish to go will have to wear heavy shoes as much snow will be encountered. o TIME DANCE WELL PATRONIZED Decorations Represented Ball of the Old Bowery Days "I consider that the jitney dance last Saturday was a great success," said Donna Aisted, general chairman of t h e affair, "as enough money was collected (even though it was a penny-ante dance) to make up the deficit in the W. A. A. treasury. Everyone seemed to be having a good time, too.'*" Part of the gymnasium was roped off and ragged old clothes decorated the rope and the windows. The whole place represented an old rundown bowery dance hall. It was estimated that from twenty to thirty couples attended the dance from 8:00 to 10:30 and danced to the music of a four-piece orchestra. The members of the orchestra who attended Normal are: Inez Williams, Lota Lawrence, Nelson Brewer, and Helen Porter. Misses Kangley, Jewell, Horton, and Ullin were the faculty members who acted as patronesses. o Picture Described by Student CHILDREN HEAR TALKS Kindergarteners Take Train Ride and Inspect North King By INA KIRKMAN Their very first ride in the blue-and- white bus caused as much shrill excitement among kindergartners last Thursday morning as journeying in it to a dance at Chuckanut Shell does among Normal co-eds. The entire enrollment of thirty-three, with several extra teachers and mothers for safety's sake, completed the first stage of a complicated journey at the Whatcom County Poultry Association's packing room where baby chicks were being crated for shipment. The invitation of the lady in charge to "touch just enough to see how soft" the "live daffodils" might be, was eagerly accepted. Children Have First Train Ride The next ten minutes were spent "waiting for our train" at the Great Northern station. Nothing escaped attention and it is probable that as the morning's story gushed forth at three-thirty luncheon tables "a lady with one white shoe and one black shoe" came in for frequent mention. Boarding the southbound passenger was as speedily accomplished as short legs would permit. The party was now larger by the addition of a thoughtful G. N. agent looking out for comfort and safety during the run to South Bellingham. This was the first train ride in several of the short lifetimes. Comments at the end were all wishes for its prolongation. North King Is Inspected Kindly officials of the Pacific American Fisheries awaited the group and guided it to the North King, one of the large boats of the Alaska fleet. The ascent of the gangplank was a supreme adventure. By climbing flights of iron steps made thin and uneven by salt water action, all decks but the topmost were reached and toured. Prom the upper deck it was easy to watch the loading of freight on the nearby Mary D. The whereabouts of a ship's anchor was discovered when the dock was again reached. The return trip to the gates was made through one of the large warehouses where there were "lots of little boats and some great big tanks." A second ride in the school bus brought the delighted children and their equally delighted chaperons back to Normal just at lunch time. The expedition had been "well-taken" by the cameras of the P. A. P. officials, and apparently by the officials themselves. o (Continued from Page One) we see her extending her hand to her fiancee, the king of Prance, and at the same time turning to address her two sisters, Goneril and Regan, who have received not only their share of the kingdom but hers as well, in this fashion: "Ye jewels of our father, with wash'd eyes Cordelia leaves you; I know you what you are; ' And, like a sister, am most loath to call .

Abbey, through the poses and colors which he chose, has interpreted their character much the same way. At the right the aged and broken- hearted king is seen going out, supported by a few of his attendants. The bent head, the drooping shoulders, the long, loose, white robe, and the hound following him with his head down, all aid in presenting this pathetic character. The picture is very rich in color, and has a background which not only gives the idea of a castle hall, but also brings out the figures very well. Painter Is American The painter, Edwin A. Abbey, was an American. He was born in Philadelphia in 1852, and at nineteen became a printer. He studied art as much as he could at the Pennsylvania Academy of Pine Arts, and finally he became an assistant art teacher in the Academy. About this time he also began illustrating for Harper's Weekly. He was sent to England to gain a background for illustrating Robert Herrick's poems. For years he worked in pen and ink, then took up water coloring •for recreation. Later he began painting in pastels, and finally he did oil pairitihg,^ His. illustrations of Shakespeare's plays are very; good but his best paintings, are, mural: in the fipston public library and the capttbi at Haofisbujrg;, Pennsylvania.

IT IS RL' International Relations Program Consists of Speakers The International Relations club held a meeting on Monday evening instead of Wednesday evening as per schedule, because of conflicting arrangements made by the science classes. Kenneth Bernet, chairman of the program, committee for the club, announced a program consisting of informal talks by two of the members. Elliot Munger discussed the club on the Lytton report, concerning the Oriental countries. A resume of "Only Yesterday", by Frederick Lewis Allen, was given as an informal address by Julius Dornblut. o • - ARRANGEMENTS MADE Vodvil and Smoker to be Given W Club Stars Big Day INFORMAL IS PLANNED Affair to be Held in the Crystal Ballroom, May 6 f Promising to get the students in festival mood, the W club will present a combination vodvil and smoker in the auditorium, the night before campus day. Five diversified types of entertainment including boxing, wrestling, numbers by the new men's chorus, the new brass band and a skit that will sparkle with color and humor will complete the program. An admission charge of ten cents probably will be charged. Extensive plans for the spring informal which is to be held May 6 are being formulated by the general chairman, Lillian Bennerstrom and her committee. The affair will be held in the Crystal ball room and the price as usual will be $1.00 per couple. And the idea? Well, it isn't awfully definite but it is said it will be rather "doggy". The committees selected are: invitation, Doris McElmon, Jean Mc- Millin, and Janet Mulford; program, Hope Kincaid, Marion Cole and Ona Conner; decoration, Rhoda Le- Cocq, Harriet Rickerson, and Kathleen Hermsen; patrons and patronesses, Julia White, Naomi Watson, Celeste McAlpine, Eileen Finley, Mary Fisher, and Vivian Oakes. o President Addresses Conference Members At Seattle Meeting ---------- Northwest Viking - 1933 April 21 - Page 3 ---------- WASHINGTON ST ATE NORMAL SCH DOL; BELLlNiGHAM; WASHINGTON : # • By BOB LINDSLEY Hello, everybody! This is my first attempt at writing a column of this -type so I hope you'll read it and let me know what you think about it, food or bad. This spring weather we've had .this week has sure acted, as a tonic to all the athletically inclined •around the school and it's nice to jsee so many out on the tennis courts and baseball field. The weather has even been nice enough for golf as the golf team, got under way yesterday with a match with Whatcom, over the Lakeway course. * * * * * By the time this is in your hands the match will be over hut I'll predict right now that they will hand the Whacom boys a good drubbing. Just a good practice match to get them in shape for the tri-normal golf tournament to be held here this year. * * * * The frosh-soph track team sure won a close one from the upperclass-men last Friday. It wasn't so hard beating most of the junior-senior team but they sure had a whale of a time trying to beat "Iron-man" Brinkman. Brinkman just won two first places and tied for another one w^th Lovegren. He could have won that one too but you know, these boys just have to stick together. Thelscore at first showed the uppers to have won the meet but a recheck showed .that some senior or junior was trying to pull a fast one. You know those seniors, they'll win at any cost. \k-: • * * * * Now that the mush-ball league has gotten nicely under way the teams are beginning to show their real worth and take their places in the standing, whether in the cellar or on the top. And, after seeing the game ber tween Hammett's Morning Glories and the Ten Pins, it is this writer's opinion that when the end of the season rolls around these will be the two teams that will fight it out for the bunting. The Morning Glories took advantage of a lucky break last Monday night and rolled up ten runs in the first inning while the Ten Pins were still trying to get their team together. When all the Ten Pins did finally arrive. the game developed into a hard fought battle. But then, breaks come and go, and maybe it will be different next time, who knows? VIKING TRACKSTERS TRAVEL TO TAGOMA Take on Loggers and Ellensburg in Triangular Belay Carnival Tomorrow, April 22, the Viking tracksters will encounter their first inter-collegiate opposition when they travel to Tacoma to match pennies with C. P. S. and the Ellensburg teachers in a triangular meet. Tentative Team Picked On the basis of performance in last week's class meet, Coach Sam Carver has picked a tentative register of men from which the final list of boys who will make the trip will be chosen. This week, time trials have been conducted for the purpose of eliminating the doubtful places on the team. The meet at Tacoma is primarily in the nature of a relay carnival although there will be some special field events. The opening races will be run at 2:00 p. m., and it is expected that a number of the team's followers (particularly "wives" of track men) will accompany the team to the "Big City". The boys will go down in private cars. Following are the men from whom final selections will be made: Dashes, Schlilaty and Thomas; hurdles, Williams; two-mile relay, Lovegren, DeLancy, Stiger, Albee, Beck-en; 440-yard, relay, Thomas, Williams, DeLancy, Pendleton, Sfchlilaty; medley relay, 220-Schlilaty, Thomas; 440, DeLancy, Van Over, Pendleton; 880, Brinkman, Ecker; 880 relay, Thomas, McBeath, DeLancy, Pendleton, Schlilaty; four-mile relay: undecided; field events, Flowers, Jones, VanOver, McBeath, Williams, Schlilaty, and possibly Berg, Kemp-haus and Temple in the javelin although it is doubtful if that event will be held. o KITCHEN KREW LOSE TO MORNING GLORIES Hammett's Intramural Culb Wins Third Straight Game EN. THE TRACK RUNNER Singing Runner Got His Training Cthasing Fish Into Traps' on the Columbia LOWER CLASSMEN TAKE TRACK MEET Brinkman Wins High Point Honors by Copping Three Events By a 11 to 1 score the Morning Glories ad ed another scalp to their belt when they defeated the Kitchen Krew. This win keeps Dick Hammett's team in first place as it is their third straight victory. The winners started out slowly, going without a hit in the first inning and making only one run in the second. Three more markers were added in the third. The Kitchen Krew made their lone tally in the third inning on two hits and an error. The Glories were held scoreless from the third to the seventh inning but at this time their entire \ batting order was up and seven runs were scored. Tim Lowe pitched for the losers, while Partis was given credit for the win. Harold Jones helped do the chucking for a short time for the winners. And then there's the one about the proud mother whose son was a pitcher. "My boy certainly is a good pitcher. Look, he hits' the bat every time." , Just like some of our. intramural pitchers. « ***** -'Can you imagine my feelings the other day when a student came up to me and asked me if 3.2 was Schlilaty's new record for the 100- yard dash... My, Walt, but you're getting fast. ; Just a few predictions for the doming week: Ten Pins will defeat Fairies. .Kings will defeat kitchen Krew. { Morning^ Glories' will defeat Fair-fes- '.'''"';.'V"':"':'' "'.'• C; Ten Pins will defeat Wolves.

H e i better known to| t h e students, perhaps, for hi: singing; nonej the less, he took| up track wor last season an was a winne: of many poin in the various' brack meets. Bob Becken • Gives Reason for Running "Where did I first gain an interest in running?" he murmured. "Why, you see I come from down Columbia river way, and my daddy started me out chasing fish from the river into his trap. It was glorious training, glorious." Then he went on. "I never took much interest in running when I was in high school, although I did place third in a little six-mile cross country jaunt one day. When I graduated from the Ilwaco high school in 1930, I thought more about becoming a school teacher than a runner. That may account for my success as a runner." This last was coyly said. Has Notable Record Becken has. a, worthy record at at the Normal school. Trying especially for the 880 last year, he placed third in the tri-normal meet at Cheney, and took second place against Ellensburg when they met here. He made points in all the meets, coming out with a final score of seven. This season he is going to work on the half mile and the mile. The Fisherman, as he is known, stands six foot three in his boots. FAIRIES DEFEATED IN CLOSE CONTEST Denton's Kings Stage Big to Score 14-13 Win Rally WOLVESWIN GAME Flint Hits Homer for the Winners. Final Sc0re 11 to 7 Flint's home run hit with one man on in the fourth inning helped the high and mighty Timber Wolves to defeat Denton's Kings by a 11 to 7 score, Wednesday afternoon. With Anson pitching nice ball for the Wolves, they got enough runs in the first part of the contest to put the game on ice. Their infield was far from airtight but they settled down when they needed to retire the Kings. Moser played a marvelous game for the winners and got one good hit. The track men also got a chance to play during the last innings and they fought hard to steve. off a last inning King rally. Denton did the mound,.work for .the,losers and got into, trouble on a few occasions. His support was also weak a4 times..Pop Gunn called the balls and strikes. "Flprence'Dahigreh spent; thveweekend at her hbmemMoliroe. f ' Fisher's Fairies took a nose dive last Monday, when Denton's Kings managed to outslug the Fairies 14 to 13, in an intramural game played on Waldo field. It looked for a while that the Kings were going to have an easy time with their opponents, but Fisher's lads finally came to life to stage* a vicious rally and slammed Jim Denton's pitching with gusto. They evened the score, only to have the Kings come back to edge in the winning run. Both teams have now won one game and lost one. The game was marked by hard hitting and one of the most sensational error making contests this year. .—o Marion Fuller and Francis Jelli-son of Monroe were the week-end guests of Alberta Fuller. ,|*i—««—„ SEAFOODS j Are Easy to Prepare and s , Good to Eat s When They Come from the j BORNSTEIN Fish Oyster Co. A squad of hard working lower classmen defeated the upper classmen 60 to 57 in a closely competed track meet held on Waldo field last Friday. Brinkman won high scoring honors of the day by copping the mile, two-mile, and half-mile runs. Results Disappointing Outside of the remarkable sprinting of "cannon ball" Schlilaty, the results of the dual affair were disappointing and a great deal of improvement will be necessary before the Viking track team will be ready fo real college competition.. It was an off day for the weight men and Normal looked especially weak in this department. Berg; Temple, Nolte, and VanOver were badly off form and far under the best marks that they have made in turnouts previous to last Friday's meet.

Something has come up about the Klipsun. tl is costing each and every one of us three dollars per year for the annual. The Thespian club went on rcord this week as being in favor of a lower priced annual. Why, in depression times, must we pay the same price for our annual that was paid for annuals years ago, when money was more common. Why, for that matter, have annuals at all? One dollar saved each quarter makes quite a dent in that registration fee, and with having to pay for football and a l l . . . . * • * * * * :f#««ife%j;;0^sito Football Wins The fact that the students of this school, after listening to arguments on both sides of the question, voted to retain football, in spite of the two dollar increase in fees such a retention will entail, indicates two things: First, that in spite of contentions to the contrary, the force of Public Opinion upon the members of any organization is very strong. No one wants to go to a "Sissy; School". No one wants his Alma Mater to have been the "school that didn't have football". So we voted to have it. Second, that there is still enough red blood in the majority of the 'Veins here at school to retain a red-blooded sport. People want to see some FIGHT. They are willing to pay for it. They must think it is worth it. t Hiring a Coach Hiring a coach is another problem for the Board of Control to solve". Should we select someone who has ben here at school or someone from outside who has. had wide coaching experience? It will take more than two hours for the Board to put I his jig-saw puzzle together! •J* «jl rp •)(• Our Faculty The spirit of the faculty, enduring the present salary cuts; the spirit that takes the loss of a job with a grin and a "Well, I'll do the best I can as long as I'm here" is admirable. They haven't any more chances to get jobs than the last graduating class. They do not seem to be discouraged. We have a faculty to be proud of. There has been no discontent, no growling. There has only been the determination to "Make the last the best". Let's think about this—it's something to remember when W E start teaching.

An ear gymnasium is the latest thing out: A Michigan inventor is responsible for this and contends that exercising the nerve centers of the ear, by proper stimulation, will correct defective hearing. According to an authority the first musical instrument was the lyre, or I might say a natural lyre. The water of the Nile river had risen considerably and a few unsuspecting turtles were left high and dry. They dried out and only the shell and tendons remained. These tendons were stretched tight across the shell. Along came this fellow Hermes, the clumsy sap, and stumbled over one of these turtle shells in such a manner as to strike one of the tendons.

The enjoyment of any social function is tremendously enhanced by the assurance that your entire toilette is glorified by the beautifying effect of these new designs, hand embroidered with steel beads and spangles on your smart stockings. . . . Then there is a fellow in Oklahoma who is going to lose one of his eyes because someone put a .22 calibre shell in his pipe tobacco. iAnd, of course, it wouldn't displease us in the least if somebody put bamboo slivers in the stockings of those monotonic artists that painted our little "STOP, DOG GONE IT" signs. If they'd taken after the campus cats instead of the dogs, it would have been a lot better-at least, they wouldn't be in a position to suffer at the hands of the law. You know, there is a penitentiary offense for defacing school property. The new popular hand-made blouse of white Georgette crepe has a narrow shawl collar of sheer white organdy. The trimming consists of real Valenciennes lace and tiny tucks. . For more formal wear than is allotted to voile, there is a blouse of flesh colored Georgette crepe with becoming broad ruffles, picot-edged and embroidered in white silk. It buttons in front and on the cuffs with small pearl buttons. Speaking of musicians, musical instranente, and such, I understand that the ambition of the Greek musicians was to play so violently that they would suffer physical injury. It's darn lucky they didn't have jew's-harps in those days or some Greek would have banged a couple of his teeth down his throat for effect. Still on the subject of music—did you know that the names of three popular Chinese songs are "Love the People", "The Blackbird and "Don't But the Trees"? ., You all have heard that Nero fiddled while Rome burned, but 111 bet you never knew that at one time, he was payed 1,000,000 sesterces (equivalent to $37,500) for singing one performance. Also that an artist in that day often sang for two or three days in the same place, only pausing to take refreshments, and seldom was any song of his less than a day in length. And then we kick because we have to attend assemblies twice a week. To be a popular crooner in Africa you would have to express extreme contrasts in tones. For instance, a crooner Would give the highest squeaks of falsetto suddenly changing to the deepest bass grunts—and^ there art a lot of American crooners that would make us happy if that s all they did. Still Africans will be Africans. Then if you care to know, the styles in this column for this issue were taken from several 1916 issues of a popular style magarine-sounds like all the rest of them, don't it?

But the question is, how many of our "earnest young students" here derived anything but a superficial giggle from Tuesday's witty harangue? For wisecracks we can read Will Rogers or O. O. Maclntyre, quietly and in a comfortable chair, without annoyance of a trick voice, or we can go downtown to the People's Theatre and see the ample-mouthed Joe Brown for a nominal sum. "Balderdash", we growl. Vicki Baum did it in "Grand Hotel", George Kaufman and Edna Ferber, in "Dinner at Eight", and now -Ernest Hemingway joins the ranks with his "Homage to Switzerland," in Scribner's. He gathers his stupid Americans together in a cafe in the shadow of the Alps, where they proceed to act foolish about the waitress. Zane Grey is preferable—he gives his shepherds the whole Guadaloupe to expand in. Great guns, authors! give your heroes a chance, to breathe—respiration i s . a necessity, even for characters in books. Lincoln Steffens explains his success: "I never flayed 'follow the leader, never submitted to the ideals and. discipline of the campus, or for that matter, of the faculty, and so, ever since, I have been able to buy stocks during a panic, sell when the public Was buying; I could not always face, but I could turn my back on, public opinion."

H. Fisher journeyed to Seattle last Monday. "The $2400 which Governor Clarence D. Martin has allotted us for equipment of our PE building" says President Fisher "will pay for the 700 wire baskets which we have purchased, as well as a corresponding number of combination padlocks." "Every student who uses either the gymnasium or the swinuning pool will have one of these wire baskets. These baskets will be placed on steel racks which we must also purchase. Each basket will have a number on it with a corresponding number on the rack. "On working the combination the student will remove the basket from Rally Committee Plans Program Vikings Have Rally at Mt. Baker; Angel Urges Students To Sell Tickets (Continued on Page Four) o Alkisiah Initiates 26 New Members With Impressive Ceremony Mexico, Scandinavian Countries, Orient Next Discussion At the regular meeting of the Alkisiah Monday evening, twenty-six girls were initiated into the club by an impressive candle-light service. The following were initiated: Jean Lyons, Mary Luccolini, Ruth Houg-land, Betty Tripp, Margaret K?inge-mann, Helen Ullevig, Dorothy D. Evans, Sophie Andrle, Eleanor Tom-linson, Lydia Black, Dorothy Har-tle,. Phyllis Rose, Ruth Hallgren, Inez Sjogren, Barbara Copdwin, Marie Schmidt, Dorothy Oresko-vich, Ruth Linscott, Betsy Davies, Vera Anne Nilson, Gladys Axling, Evelyn Humphrey, Rosetha Newman, Mary Gardner, and Louise Johnson. Following the initiation the business meeting was held. A short discussion and vote was taken on the countries to be discussed in the future meetings. The music, art and drama of the first countries to be studied are the Orient, Scandinavian countries and Mexico. A half hour program to be given on the Mt. Baker stage next Wednesday night at 8:30 is being worked out by the Rally committee. The purpose of this program is to stimulate interest in the homecoming game and Normal athletics in general. The performance will be the first of its sort to be given by the Normal students. It is to consist of selections from the band, yells, a skit and a short talk, although the details are not yet complete. Five hundred seats are reserved in the front center section for the Viking rooters. Ed Angel is in charge of the ticket sale. They may be obtained from members of the committee or the Co-op. Regular admission will be charged. Angel addressed the committee as follows, "We must get the town behind our teams and to do this we first need the cooperation of the students." Turkey Subject of Ekrem Speech Well-known Lecturer Tells of Mustapha Kemal, Turkish Liberator; New Republic Decrees Adoption of Names "Mustapha Kemal, the Man of Vision" was the topic discussed by Miss Selma Ekrem, well-known lecturer on Turkey, when she spoke to Normal students last Tuesday morning. Miss Ekrem gave the life history of Mustapha, Turkish liberator, and told how he had succeeded in winning the campaign against the legal government at Istanbul and later made himself head of the Nationalist government. She believes that Turkey will continue to be , a republic and will never go back to the old Sultan form of government. She then related some of the changes in political affairs, as well as in social customs, since 1923. Known to.American audiences as Selma Ekrem, it should be explained that Miss Ekrem's full name is Selma Ekrem Bulayir. Thirteen years ago family names did not exist. The republic then decreed that old Turkish names be taken for family names. Her father adopted the name Bulayir because it was the burial place of his father. "Miss Ekrem was born in Istanbul, Turkey, in a house which later became the American Preparatory school. She has traveled in America on numerous lecture tours and in 1933 talked at the Century of Progress Exposition for the International Congress of the National Council of Women in behalf of Turkey. She has written a book entitled "Unveiled," about which an American newspaper makes the following statement, "One book like this creates better understanding and more enduring good will between nations than a dozen conferences of high-hatted dignitaries." Previous to coming to Bellingham, Miss Ekrem lectured in Seattle at the University of Washington. Barnhart Chosen Board Member Apportionment of Student Tickets Decided at Board Meeting Rec Hours Discussed Bond Attends Math Meeting at Pullman Three Normals, High Schools Well Represented Last week Dr. Bond attended an educational meet at the State college in the interest of the schools of Washington. The meet consisted of many institutions of the state, some of which are Spokane, Bellingham, Everett, and Seattle high schools. The three Normals and several other small colleges of the state were well represented. Discussions dealt with the mathematical trend. It was considered that in the near future there will be a rearrangement of high school mathematics as to the type and amount. It was a general voiced opinion that there was a need of more mathematics in the ninth year, which would consist of an algebraic goemetry. The University of Washington is at this time considering asking that all new students be required to have one more year of high school mathematics than at present. Group Holds Meet To Organize New Men's Club Soon All Men to Meet Soon to Draw Up New Set of By-Laws For New Club Discussionists Entertain With Political Speeches; Students Vote on Election By Don Gooding Amid alternate boos and cheers, the members of the newly formed Discussion club released a surplus of political steam sufficient to furnish five speakers with material for five rousing orations as the feature program of last Friday's assembly. After introductions by master of ceremonies, Ralph Friedman, the first speaker, Bob White, representing Republican Landon, led off with several derogatory statements and allusions concerning the other candidates, only to be slandered in turn by Politician Oscar Starlund, stumping for Lemke. Incidentally, there is some suspicion that the latter had preconceived the meeting and placed a large group of supporters in the front row to encourage him on. This is based on the number of cheers he received and the number that the others didn't. Ruth Kulle, Roosevelt partisan, succeeded Starlund at the pulpit in a mingling of applause and other noises which were partially silenced by the speaker's vehement disapproval of such rudeness. The audience was forced to seriously consider the purport of the next speech by Socialist proponent, Ed Angel, who was especially violent in his attack on Landon, whom he charged with disccontinued on Page Four) c URRENT ALENDAR of Happenings Friday, October 30— 4:00 p. m.—Rec hour, Big gym, under sponsorship of Valkyrie club.

Speaker Entertained At Tuesday Luncheon By Interclub Council Miss Selma Ekrem, of Turkey, honor guest at the Interclub Council luncheon held Tuesday noon in Edens hall club room, told the group that Turkey, unlike America, has only one political party, the Peoples' party. "Perhaps," she stated, "you would not consider that a republic, but we do." Candidates for office are nominated and elected by the people of their respective provinces as members to the House. The House, unlike that in the United States, is the only ruling body in Turkey. The president is hot elected directly by the people, but by members of the House. Mildred Fackler, president of the interclub Council, presided at the luncheon. President C. H. Fisher, after a conference with a men's committee Thursday morning, granted permission for a meeting on Friday, November 13, of all men interested in forming a new men's club. The committee, consisting of Homer Burroughs,'chairmah; Stan Willis, and Ed Johnston, asked Mr. Fisher for this date so that the men could get together to present their views and to elect a committee which will draw up the new by-laws. This new club will not have a president, but will elect a board to govern the body. No dues will be collected and a complete new set of by-laws will be used. The sole purpose of the new club will be to keep the men socially and politically on their feet. Russian Pianist To Be In Assembly Tuesday Jan Cherniavsky Russian pianist, styled as the poet of the piano, will be presented in recital in next Tuesday's assembly program. Born in Kiev, ancient city of European culture, Mr. Cherniavsky made his first appearance there at the age of seven years, after gaining much musical knowledge and power development from his father and Mme. Goldweiser, a pianist well known in Russia. Later while appearing in Vienna, Cherniavsky, then twelve, so greatly impressed Leschetizsky by his playing that the eminent master, famous throughout the world, accepted him as a pupil. Under the prominent teacher's supervision he was soon recognized as destined for a brilliant career. During the past two years Jan Cherniavsky has been appearing in recital and as guest artist with symphonies in the old world and in the new. Stage Properties Being Constructed For Drama Play Cruttenden Poses for a Portrait; Production To Be Given In Edens Hall Rehearsals are in full swing for the fall quarter division of Drama play, "Late Christopher Bean." Many interesting production problems arise in every amateur show that tax the -ingenuity of the technical director. Properties must be devised and used in a life-like way, just as if the show were to enter a long Broadway run. Amateurs the country over are doing more than ever to achieve effects comparable to the professional stage. "The Late Christopher Bean" has for its plot background the life and activity of a young American artist. His paintings are talked about at the beginning and later are actually produced for the audience to look upon. It is necessary, for example; that the leading lady sit for her portrait in oils; this portrait in the third act of the piece becomes the Iverson Appointed New Viking Manor President Art Iversen was elected president of Viking Manor Friday night, Oct. 23, at a meeting held in the dining hall by members of the house.

He has spent 40 or 45 years behind a desk, but always with the vision of a trip to Europe, a year at Columbia university, and later a quiet farm in a green hillside or a cottage on a wind- I "Girl's Dormitory," introducing Si-swept bluff. But somehow these visions seldom ma- m°»e S i m o n ' th,e s t a r J * * 8^?^ ?f . , . , _ , . , . , , . 1936, comes Sunday to the MT. BA-tenalized. - There was always something else—last month it was a salary cut—this month it's doctor bfils—next month a new roof. In the meantime there he is plugging along, past the age of greatest efficiency, 6with outmoded ideas and techniques. He's being left behind by the swiftly-moving stream of progressive education, depriving many students of the benefits of new, improved methods of education, and creating just another dead weight around the taxpayer's neck. Now?; at last, a group of educators in this state has proposed a teacher retirement system which should relieve this sorry situation. Providing for $40 a month after 30 years of service or 60 years of age, this system would allow teachers to spend freely on travel and further education during their years of service without the ever-present fear of old age. It would keep the school system alive with young, capable, enthusiastic teachers continually filling positions opened by retirements. It would give a certain dignity to the profession which it will lack so long as many of its members are found destitute in old age. And so, prospective teachers, look not forth with so dubious an eye upon the onstretching years of your chosen career. Just remember, if this plan is adopted that— "Life is real! Life is earnest! And the "POORFARM'S" not its goal! o Rally in Reserve Room Strangely enough the situation in the reserve book room at 3:30 p. m. seems to call forth more enthusiastic cheering and general undertone of suspense and excitement than is ever exhibited at a football game. All that is needed to complete the picture is the pep band and a few peanut venders. Incidentally die downtrodden minority vainly attempting to study at this time will find it more satisfactory to join in the fiin and finish the chapter at the next game where they will find much better opportunity lor quiet uninterrupted concentration. - o Campi Coast to Coast By Walt Skinner Some fool in California had some "goo" that he figured would grow hair on bald heads. To give himself prestige of some kind, he put the address, Box No. 1973, Stan-ford university, California, beneath his advertisements which appeared in practically all of all of the leading magazines in the country. This was fine until one of the head men at that institution read the note. He ignored it—momentarily. The next day a letter came addressed to the school—no box number. Assuming a stand whereby they wished to drop the official status of a Barber college, the campus bloodhounds ferreted out the culprit. He apologized in full and told them that it was just a mistake in address and that if they would just send all his letters to him he would always send all of Stanford!s maU that he received at his home in Oregon to them. * * * * * Freshmen gridders at the University of Southern California climaxed their annual picnic by throwing all their coaches in the lake.

He must : have been thinking of Bellingham ! when he wrote his "foggy1* epistle. gt; I never saw a more inopportune time , for foggy weather than last Saturday night. It was rather confus- • ing to hear the players raising , cain out on the field and not be able to see them. However, the murky atmosphere didn't hamper the Viking players a bit. They pulled passes out of the fog, knocked their opponents into it, and to top it off they pulled a 6-0 victory out of the fog. CONFIDENTIAL In regard to Cheneys and Ellens-burg's opinion of our team, we are just a little bit conceited. Cheney evidently has the opinion that we consider our game with them just a "breather^_ Decidedly not! Although we do think we have the best chance in years of upsetting Cheney and Ellensburg we are not going to spoil the opportunity by overconfidence. GOIN' AWAY The Vikings will play their first out of town game tomorrow afternoon at the Pacific Lutheran college, near Tacoma. This game is not in the bag by a long shot. They have a line that is just like hitting a stone wall; PLC has not been scored upon once this season. It's going to be a hard record for the Vikings to break. Ernie Dzurick deserves our apologies. For over a year his name has been published in the Viking as Dzurich. From now on it will be spelled correctly with a "ck" and not with a "ch." . Intramural basketball is now coming into full swing, so all of the boys in school who aspire to play on a team, go down to the PE department and talk it over with Coach Sam Carver. If there isn't a place for you on a team that is already organized you are privileged to start an independent team of your own. As yet, there are very few teams organized. -o Canadian University Golfers For Today Journeying to Vancouver, B. C, ^today, Coach Sam Carver will take his Viking golf team to the Univer-siiy of Brtiish Columbia to match the school's ace golfers. Coach Carver is quoted as saying "The University of British Columbia had a very good team last year and if this is much of an indication we should have quite a bit of Gladiators Await Norsemen Battle We Promise Not to Refuse Alumni and Student Business General Petroleum PRODUCTS High Holly Service 894-W Parker Pen and Pencil Sets $1.95 Bellingham Drug Co. 1331 Cornwall Viking Squad in Tip Top Shape For Undefeated Lutheran College Team Tomorrow morning when the rosy fingered dawn appears, Coach Charles "Chuck" Lappenbusch and his Normal Vikings will be well on their way to Parkland, where they will tackle the powerful Pacific Lutheran college eleven in the Vikings' fifth straight game. The Lutherans, coached by Cliff Olson, having what is probably the greatest team in the history of the school, are undefeated and have not yet been scored on, this season. In four contests they have rolled up 40 points while their goal line has not been crossed. - In their first game of the season they shellacked th El- Insburg NormalWildcats by a score of 6 to 0. In like manner Monmouth, Oregon, fell before the Gladiator onslaught 13 to 0. Then came a scoreless tie with the Viking conquerors, the St. Martins College Rangers. Then finally a smashing 20 to 0 triumph over the Port Lewis soldiers. With a record like this, plus a stonewall defense and a smooth-running offense, they should prove a tough nut to crack. Last year the Gladiators emerged victorious over the Vikings, 6 to 0, in the coldest game of the year. At the same time it should be remembered that the Vikings also have probably the greatest eleven ever assembled at the Normal school. Although having lost one game in four starts, the Norsemen claim a better offensive record, garnering 66 points as compared to the Lutherans' 40. With the exception of Holtzheimer, stellar end, who received an arm injury in the past week's scrimmage, and Carlson, reserve back, who injured his knee, the Vikings will be in tip-top shape for the first time this year. Carlson will be ready by game time, while Holtzheimer may not be ready but will nevertheless make the trip and appear in uniform. Smith, towering end, has fully recovered from his knee injury which hampered him for the past three games, and is back in fold again, while Morris Tarte, although admitting that his knee does "creak" a little, is all set to go, also. Coach Lappenbusch, in the role of an optimist doesn't predict anything concerning the game except that it will be a red hot battle, and he hopes for a Viking victory. He will start with: ends, Smith and Claypoole; tackles, Peterson and Bengston; guards, Ullin and Maski; center, Tomco; quarterback, Dzurick; halfbacks, Chorvat and Clifton; fullback, Tarte. o Dzurick and Clifton Triumph As Vikings Trim Huskies In Annual Feud Gridiron Battle Normal Stages Long Touchdown Drive To Win 6-0 After Scoreless Half Viking Forwards Hold Blanket of Fog Veils Players in First and Third Cantos trouble in beating them."

Holly Phone 353 By Ed Johnston Vikings, knocked from the undefeated ranks a week ago by St. Martins, staged a 6 to 0 comeback at the Husky Frosh's expense Saturday night before a crowd of 1500 under the Battersby field globes. It took a 58-yard touchdown march to subdue the stubborn Frosh, who had thrust back the Viking's scoring threats throughout the first half. With some brilliant ball packing by Clifton mixed with the accurate pass pitching of Dzurick, the Norsemen scored the game's lone touchdown behind a wall of some exceptionally fine^Pu-get Sound fog which rolled over the gridiron. Dzurick and Clifton Flash Faking a kick from the 42-yard stripe, Dzurick heaved a 20-yard pass to the waiting arms of Clifton, who slashed his way to the 37-yard mark. Again Dzurick, after he had flipped two incomplete passes, bul-leted a third to the finger tips of Holtzheimer for a first and ten. Mills then getting in step with the touchdown march, slithered down to Washington's 12-yard line for another first down. Again Mills paraded, counting four yards in two line smashes and then a dangerous lateral completed between Johnson end run by Johnson brought the oval to the 1-yard mark, where Chorvat bucked over for the winning tally. Nagrodski's try-for-point was blocked. Yearlings Held Because of the continual charging of the Viking forwards the visitors never once threatened beyond the Viking 30-yard mark. The Frosh line also held intact in the initial half when the Vikings banged their way to the 10-yard stripe three different times, only to be held or hit hard to fumble. Vern Peterson The hilltoppers outgained the Frosh fourteen to six in first downs and their passing attack clicked for six out of sixteen.

BKLLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Women's League By Hatch and Bowdish . Goblins and ghosts, spirits and sprites will dance tomorrow night, but so shall we—at the Hallowe'en informal Informal is is called but it has its formalities, too. Sometime during the evening, even though you do not have a dance programmed with the faculty guests, you must speak to them. Introduce your escort and pass a pleasant word. This is a courtesy which you would extend to a guest in your own home. And do you have a full program? Every one of those traded dances is an obligation. Unless you have a good reason, it is considered very bod form to miss a programmed dance. Make an effort to be in the hall when the dances start at the beginning of the evening and also after intermission. If you do happen to miss one be sure to make amends for your breach of etiquette immediately. Your escort may not know every girl with whom he is to dance. It will be your place to make introductions and break all of the ice. For one evening, at least, pretend that your partner is just a big bashful boy who needs a lot of solicitous attention. Perhaps next time you will have a chance to play the clinging vine. If you are keeping souvenirs save your dance program. Do not take a part of the decorations. At one of the last year's Informals the decorations which were lovely chrysanthemums, were promised to the facuty guests. Imagine the embarrassment of the committee when, after the dance, there wasn't a chrysanthemum in sight! That's all until tomorrow night in the Crystal ballroom of the Hotel Leopold. o Richardson Gets Cool Welcome at Wenatchee Conflagration WSNS Has Real Fireaters in Beahan and Morris (Special to the Viking) According to the cynics, the days of melodrama and heroism are far gone, but this fact was belied Tuesday noon when a group of Normalites residing at 714 Garden, aided by Leonard Beahan and others, were called upon to bolster the Fire Department's weakening morale as they were fighting a conflagration in the vacant lot next door. Reports will have it that Beahan, ably assisted by Homer Morris, was the ringleader in the rescue. The thirty-foot flames soon gave up and everything turned out well, in spite of interference, except for a little scorched paint and shaky nerves. Since it was lunch-time, the boys brought out some potatoes and marshmal-lows and had a real old-fashioned bonfire party.

I have an appointment to address the group. I have driven over from Bellingham." "I can call the head waitress." Head waitress appears. "Do you know anything about an Alumni breakfast?" And the alarming answer was, "Yes, it is to be given a week from this morning. Yes. Next Friday, the thirtieth." This all followed by a considerable falling away of the chin by the aforesaid Miss Richardson. However, she recovered sufficiently to find the county superintendent of schools, who made the appointment, only to find that through oversight in the correspondence, Miss Richardson had been given the wrong date. It hardly seemed possible that she had actually arrived a week before schedule. She managed to gather up her belongings and Miss Pinning, to whom it all seemed very ridiculous, and started on the 200-mile homeward trek. Yesterday she left again for Wenatchee. This time she has a new dress, Miss Pearl Vertreese for a companion, and some copies of the school song.

BELLINGHAM; WASHINGTON Friday, January 26, 1934 Cheney and Viking Five Play Thurs. Savages Strong Team is Favored to Win Tri-Normal Battle Against Bellingham VIKINGS RETURN Bellingham to have Three to Polish Defense Days Will the Bellingham Vikings do the unexpected and knock over the strong Cheney Savages in their game next Thursday evening at 7:30 o'clock on the Whatcom high floor? Tonight the two teams are tangling at Cheney in their first meeting of the present season and the outcome of this game will give the Bellingham fans more reliable dope on the probable winner of next week's game. The Normal Vikings will have the first of next week to rest up from their strenuous road trip to eastern Washington, and also to polish up the rough spots that showed up during their three games. Coach Lappenbusch probably will use all three days to strengthen the squad in the best type of defense to use against the Savages' offense. Five Veterans at Cheney Cheney boasts a squad of five veterans this season. They have a much perfected passing attack and have the scoring ability when pressed. Peterson and Helton, the eastern schools forwards, are each capable to give any two guards in the conference a bad evening. Hallo-way, another Cheney veteran, has plenty of height to secure the tip-off and also for scoring work under the basket. Davis, also a letterman, will be handy if needed for a reserve center post. At guard the visitors will have the last year's lettermen, Carlson and Denekas. Reserves will include Rebensdorf, Dickson and Clifford. Few Changes Made Lappenbusch has made a few changes in his first string lineup last week. Fitzer will be started at center with Frender as reserve. At forwards Dunigan, and either Van-der Griend or McBeath will be in the starting lineup. Moser, the old reliable, will be at one guard position, with a possible choice among Sollie, Frender and Johnson on the other spot. o • Educators Protest at Woodring's Statement AmericanArmyReady Representatives of thirty colleges and universities have demanded of President Roosevelt that Harry H. Woodring, assistant secretary of War, resign. They condemned a magazine article in which he sug7 gested organizing "economic storm troops" through federal relief administration. More than 200 educators signed this letter which was made public in New York. City on January 24. These educational leaders based their criticism of Woodring on a magazine article entitled "The American army stands ready," which was written by the War department. Statement Made The statement made by Woodring that the educators condemned was that "our army is our ace in the hole for peace as well as war." The protesting educators proclaimed the statement a "totally unwarranted threat to civil liberties of the American people" and a veiled advocacy of Nazi dictatorship.

Officers Assume • Duties at Board Meeting Monday Annual Banquet to be Held at Bellingham Hotel February 9 New members of the Board of Control were introduced and assumed their duties at the regular board meeting last Monday afternoon. The meeting was opened'by John Christy, retiring president, who, after the new members were introduced, turned the meeting over to Orvin Messegee, newly elected president. It was announced that the question of the incorporation of the student body would be brought before the Board of Control before it is presented to the board of trustees. It is to come before them on February 21. Dick Albert reported that the quarterly board banquet would be held at the Bellingham hotel, Friday, February 9. The following officers retired from office at this meeting: John Christy, president; Julia Christensen, vice-president, and Herbert Gallanger, four - quarter representative. The new officers are Orvin Messegee, president; Christine Albers, vice president, and Ralph Shenenberger, four-quarter representative. Herbert C. Ruckmick, faculty representative, was the only board member absent. After the meeting, ice cream and cake were served to both old and new board members. -o • Assembly Musical Royal Bell Ringers of Seattle to be Here February 2 One of the outstanding assemblies of the quarter will be that featuring the Royal Bell Ringers on Friday, February 2. This male quartette of Seattle is one of America's musical sensations, making Use of approximately 100 bells. These Bell Ringers also bring with them a glassophone, on which a number of selections will be played. The glassophone is an instrument formed of a number of glass goblets shaped like finger glasses, turned by filling them with more or less water and played with the fingers. e Their program is as follows: Bells—Among Comrades March (C. Faust), Reverie Russe (F. Herrmann) . Glassophone—Gypsy Love Song (Victor Herbert), Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes (Old English). Bells—Bells of St. Mary's (B. Adams), The Sunny South (J. Bode-walt- Lampe), Berceuse from Jocelyn (B. Godard), Songs of Sweden (O. E. Swanson). Glasses—Home, Sweet Home (Sir Bishop). Bells—Nordic March (Orion Kohl-strom). The Royal Bell Ringers will give a concert Friday evening in the M. W. A. hall.

Edens Hall Girls In Blue Room Card Playing and Refreshments are eFatures of Evening Drawings Made By Assembly Lecturer Inspire Art Studes Charles Morgan gave the art classes of Miss Plympton and Miss Breakey a treat with his chalk talk and exhibit at last week's assembly. Miss Plympton's drawing class, which has been making imaginative animal paintings, was especially interested in his display, in which imagination was the point stressed. Many of the aspiring artists stayed after the per formance to inspect it. Miss Breakey's orientation class has been making some value scales and color washes, and her charcoal and water color class is doing some sketches, stressing shading in light and dark values. Winter quarter firesides are once more in full swing at Edens hall, according to Elizabeth Schuehle, house president. The firesides are held every Tuesday evening from 9:30 to 10:30 in the Blue room, where all dormitory girls may come for an hour of leisure. Cards are usually the main features of the hour, with refreshments following. The dim light of the lamps and the huge fire in tth fireplace, with the girls grouped around in their pajamas, made a picturesque scene at the last Tuesday evening fireside. Second floor north was in charge, with Mildred Stoker as general chairman. Four /tables of bridge were in play which were the third of a series of games which will last until the end of the quarter. Those who didn't participate in cards enjoyed themselves sitting around the fireplace sewing and talking. Governor Vetoes Bill For Regents Governor C. D. Martin vetoed the bill requiring court action to remove regents of higher educational institutions on Wednesday, January 24, 1934. In his veto message on the regents bill, the governor said in part: "These institutions of higher learning are sustained by the public and their affairs should be administered by regents in sympathy with the aspirations of the people and the taxpayers who support them. "The people speak through their governor. I cannot bring myself to approve a law which completely removes the regents from responsibility to the governor, and through him, from their responsibility to the taxpayers". "Inasmuch as I have full confidence in the present board of regents, and realize that no emergency exists in the administration of either of these institutions to require action by the extraordinary session of the legislature, I feel that this act may well be vetoed." Many Ballots Cast In General Election Messegee, Albers, Shenenberger, Bond Elected Authority On Peace Speaks at Meeting Mr. J. J. Handsaker, who addressed the assembly today, is to be main speaker at the meeting of the International Relations dub to be held at 7:30 next Monday in the Edens hall club room. Mr. Handsaker, executive secretary of the National Council for Prevention of War, has made a special study of the political and social sides of disarmament and Joined in an informal discussion oh the present situation and its problems. - Plans Made by Club For Dessert Bridge At the regular meeting of the Al-kisiah club last Monday evening, plans were made for a dessert bridge to take place on Monday evening, February 11, in the Edens hall club room. The Valentine motif will be followed throughout in the decorations. Mayme Mcintosh tendered her resignation as vice-president of the club, and Catherine Hurby was elected to fill the office. A committee has been appointed by Margit Ottem, president of the club, to take charge of the affair. The members who have been appointed are Ethel Mae Swanson, general chairman; Catherine Ale* ander, Genevieve McKellar, and Evelyn Lihgg, program; Dessie Burr, Italka. Runge, Beatrice Hirons, Rose Jacobs, and Helen Verd, decoration and invitation; Florence Strorri, refreshments. CWA Men Get Pay Thirty students have received their first pay checks for the work they are doing on the Normal tract at Lake Whatcom. The total payroll so far amounts to $240. This amount includes their salary for the first two Saturdays of work. Work is progressing very well* considering the inclement weather the men have had to work in. George Dock is in charge of the work. An unusually large vote was cast last Friday when Orvin Messegee, prominent senior and member of the International Relations club, was elected president of the student body. According to statistics given by John Christy, last quarter's student prexy, 75 per cent of the student enrollment voted in the general election as compared to 41 per cent in the Wednesday primaries. The men again outvoted the women— 80 per cent of the men and 60 per cent of the women casting ballots. The quarter's officers elected in the generals last Friday are headed by the new president, Messegee, who was opposed in the race by Victor Dickinson. Vice-President Christine Albers defeated Peggy McKay, and Ralph Shenenberger took the election from Marie deGallier for four-quarter representative. Dr. E. A. Bond was elected faculty representative to the Board of Control. Mr. Edward Arntzen was the defeated candidate ---------- Northwest Viking - 1934 January 26 - Page 2 ---------- WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCH BELLINCHAM, WASHINGTON The Northwest Viking ESTABLISHED 1899 Published every Friday except during the month oi September by the Associated Students, Washington State Normal School, Bellingham.

A Bouquet For John Christy It is not often that one finds in collegiate politics such a capable person as John Christy. As president of the student body Christy has been an efficient, thorough-going, conscientious leader. While we may not always have agreed with him we could not help but admire him. He gave his time unstintingly to student affairs and leaves behind him a long string of real accomplishments. Football Again Comes To The Fore Shall we have football next fall under the same plan as we did last year, or is there some other way of financing this sport? If no other way can be found than the assessment of six dollars .over a period of three quarters, do the majority of the students wish to continue having the game? The margin in favor of football at the election last spring was none too large. Charges and counter charges concerning that election refuse to die down. We believe it would be wise to clarify the athletic atmosphere. Should the Board of Control decide whether or not we shall have football again next season or should the student body decide at an election for that purpose? The columns of the Viking are open to all interested persons for an expression of their opinions concerning these controversial questions. Literary This and That By Mary-Jane Holden "The Farm," by Louis Bromfield, is a truly remarkable novel. It is the story of four generations of one great family, wrought into a unified picture by the memories and researches of Johnny—presumably the author hmiself. The sturdy, idyllic, self-sufficient civilization of the farm is debased by a tribe of money-grabbing shopkeepers, politicians and industrialists, with no thought for anything save quick turnover and greater profits. Why should the Colonel's broad acres and plenty be exploited to preserve descendants of Silas Bentham, a Yankee peddler? In "The Farm," in addition to meeting a family as numerous and as lovable as the Forsytes or the Whiteoaks, the reader gets a real picture of the political moves, as well as economic trends, from 1815 until 1915. Some excellent thumbnail sketches of past political moguls are included, and the summary of Harding's career is most shrewdly written: "The 'agreeable' man from the next county had a great success within the Republican party, rising from office to office, without ever making trouble for anyone until at last Senators Lodge and Penrose and a Republican boss named Harry M. Dougherty arranged for him to be nominated and. elected President. In the end he died suddenly because there was nothing left for him to do" Frank Vizetelly, the great lexicographer of today, has .written a book especially to help Miss Simonds purify the language spoken at this school. The work is entitled, "How to Speak Effectively," and is based on the principle that "As a man speaks, so is he." Dr. Vize-telly says it is by vowels alone that we develop intensity, purity and sweetness of voice. They are the .musical sounds of speech, the soul elements that admit 'modulation. This book, moderately priced and simply 'written, is at the disposal of the general reader, who should learn that perfection of speech leads to an advance in his station of life. YARNS Our Fathers Tell "Spare the rod and—save the teacher" might have been a good revision of an old saying, two score and ten years ago. Such a thought would, perhaps,, have prevented much embarrassment to a certain schoolmaster. Johnny Jones was feeling pesky one day and persisted in pinching "pretty little Percy" sitting in front of him. At each pinch, the victim would let out a yell of anguish which caused Mr. Brown to pause in the midst of a lengthy dissertation on some boring subject. He admonished Johnny severely and shook his long pointed ruler at him but Johnny paid little heed to him. Finally Mr. Brown said, "Johnny, if you do that again, you will be punished." Although Johnny may not have said, "Oh, yeah?" he undoubtedly thought it, for Percy bounded from his seat like a scared rabbit. Mr. Brown took hold of the tip of his pointer and flipped at Johnny. The butt of it struck the poor fellow on the head and nearly knocked him out. Time came for recess and the teacher told Johnny that he could go out to play but that if he went home he would be whipped when he returned. Johnny went home and returned a little later with his mother, a tiny lady who was not more than five feet two and weighed about ninety pounds. When they entered Mr. Brown was standing with his back to the door, poking up the fire in the old wood stove. ."Did you hit my Johnny with your pointer?" "I guess I did." "Apologize to him!" "I never apologize to the children. It is against my principles." Mrs. Jones grabbed the handle of the red-hot poker and made after her victim. When he saw the weapon she wielded, he cowered. Backing him into a corner, she thrust the poker at him, forced him to his knees and ordered him to ask Johnny's pardon. This he did with much fervor and lost not only his dignity but his job as well. Albert, Chester, and Norlin "Push 'em up, Tony." (and the same to Ullin, Toby, Frender, Jobe, Hudson, Tomco, etc.) Pardon the Smoker talk, peoples, but it seems to be in the air.

WASHINGTON Battlers Set In Tonight's Big Smoker Willie Toby to Fight Ed Hudson in Main Event of Boxing This Evening S E V E N BOUTS ON CARD Lundberg, Allan and Becken to Furnish Entertainment Vikings Defeated With Score 42-21 Wildcat Veterans Ellensburg Hoopsters Too. Strong; Normal Loses First Tilt of Road Trip Whistling haymakers, flying scis- -sors, fire eating, and crooning will be the main feature of tonight's big dime's worth. The annual W club -smoker is to be held in the little gym here at 8 o'clock. The main event of the boxing will see "Battling" Toby, the Fairhaven wonder, swap punches with Ed Hudson in the middleweight division, and Bill Ames vs. Mike Tomco, executing the tactics of modern wrestling in the heavyweight class. In the light heavy class "Beans" Gillies and "Hermis-ton" Hammon will grapple in. a grudge match for the fair prize, whoever she may be. John Odell and Chet Ullin will show how heavyweights should fight, with Arne Johnsen and Nelson Ault holding down the welterweight department. George Albee is out to show Dominic Kuljis a few holds and how to go about getting them, with George Willis and Cal Davidson opening the show with a curtain raising ceremony. The boxing will be refereed by Walt Sinko, with Pop Miller handling the wrestling. The boxing bouts will be three two-minute rounds, and the wrestling two five-minute counters with entertainment between shows. i Intermission entertainment will be furnished by local talent such as Aubrey Lundberg the human pretzel, who will put on his double jointed exhibition and some fancy fire eating. Bill Allan, the raving baritone, will be heard and seen singing his latest on St. James Infirmary Blue; Bob Becken also will croon to keep the excitement flowing between shows and will join Allan in a duet which ought to be a knockout itself. Jayvees Win Over Pay'n Takit, 64-26 The Jayvee team won a decisive victory over the Pay'n Takit, at the "Y" game Tuesday night. The game was very one-sided throughout. The J. V. first team ran up a 20-point lead in the first few minutes of play, Nielson and Jackson acting as adding machines, and then turned the scrap over to the reserves. The subs proved entirely able to handle the situation, coming out on the long end of a 64 to 26 score. Bus Lindsley and Clark were the mainstays of the grocers' team. An experienced and powerful Ellensburg team proved too strong for Coach Charles Lappenbuschs Vikings in a fast game played Tuesday night at Ellensburg, as Belling-ham plays the first of its three scheduled encounters across the mountains. The final score was 42 to 21 and the score at the half was 27 to 8. Ellensburg, starting fast, took the invading Vikings off their feet and scored 10 points in the opening min utes of play. Ftizer then dropped in a basket for Normal, but Nelson, Ellensburg center, again started Ellensburg on its way when he went on an individal spree, scoring nine successive points for the bringing of the count up to 19 to 2. At the beginning of the second half, the invaders scored two baskets and a free throw, making the score 13 to 27. Then Ellensburg started clicking again and finished the game with numerous substitutions. Moser, a veteran of other road trips, was high point man for the local hoopsters, scoring seven points. Case, Ellensburg forward, was high scorer for the evening with ten points, leading Nelson, his teammate, who scored nine tallies. Both Prender, of Bellingham, who plays center, by the way, and Nelson, his opponent, were forced out of the game on personal fouls. That Ellensburg would probably defeat the Vikings was conceded by all but the most optimistic members of our local sports circles and so the bad news wasn't such a terrible shock. A basketball machine like Ellensburg has built up in the last few years can't be check-mated by anything else but a similar organization, which Lappenbusch hasn't yet had time to build up. o Foul Shooters Led by Sorenson With Race Nearing End With but two weeks remaining in which to shoot their fouls. Sorensen still leads the contestants in the race for first place honors, and the trophy thta goes with them. Although at the time of this writing he had not yet shot his 25 chances for this week, his score of 104 baskets out of a possible 125 gives him the inside track. Only three aspirants for first place honors in the contest, Mc- Beath, Shenenberger, and Jackson had, at this writing, done their shooting this week. McBeath, with a score of 118 out of a possible 150, leads this trio. Shenenberger, with 155, follows closely, and Jackson, with 112, also still remains in the thick of the battle. ' But four other contestants have shot their fouls for the first five weeks. Moscrip leads this quartet with 77 points out of the possible 125. Pressing closely on his heels are Roessel with 76, Albee with 74, and Jones with 71. SHORT , SHOTS oi f f l $ MORE TRUTH THAN POETRY? Shoulder pads, and helmets, And goal posts put away, For basketball, track and baseball, Each must have its day. Sinko, Sulkosky, Miller, They were the big shots then.

Between then and the P. L. C. game, which proved so pleasingly victorious for the Vikings, . Coach Lappenbusch had to entirely change the team's method of offensive strategy.

The Poughkeepsie regatta, abandoned before the start of last year's season, has again been returned to a place on the calendar of important coming events. Last year, you will probably remember, a Pacific coast regatta was inaugurated with a number of crews from the East as well as U. S. G, U. of G and U. of W. enterng.

Taking an early lead the Vikings held the long end of the score at the half 18 to 11. Close checking combined with accurate shooting under the hoop was responsible for the Normals edge in the first period. J. C. Lacks Punch Lacking the necessary punch in the tight places the boys from the Valley J. C. failed to match the Normalites in scoring or on the defense. The Normal five looked like a decidedly different aggregation than that which faced the Ellensburg quintet the night before. Scoring throughout the contest was evenly divided. C.

Do you know? Neither does anyone else but, according to James Jobe, the guiding spirit, a clue may be found in the advertising section of last week's and this week's Viking, that anyone with an F minus I. Q. can understand, (thats tellin' 'em). "The party," says James (Poker Face) Jobe, "has a real socko, but just what it is, will not be revealed] untli S a t u r d ay night."

As for the snappy intermission number promised in last week's paper, Jim Jobe says to forget it. But ya' can't fool us, Jimes! You've got something up that sleeve of yours besides your Humerus! (look it up). Only Epicureans Invited However, Jobe does promise that those who come will enjoy the dance immensely. Confirmed Stoics are asked to stay away, Epicureans only, are invited. It being aired around that the assistants, Nielson and Campbell, will do a spring dance— hairy legs an' all. Jobe will not verify this statement (just ask him). Nielson and Campbell have nothing to say. o Staff Meet Features Initiation of Members And Open Discussion Monday, January 29, the Viking staff will have their quarterly meeting at Calista Simonds' home on Fifteenth street. The meeting will take the form of a business meeting, followed by recreation and refreshments. Calista Simonds is general chairman, assisted by the entire staff as committee. As usual, the staff will discuss changes and improvements in the paper and plans for the future issues for the quarter. The editor welcomes constructive criticism for his paper from the staff members at this time. The main feature of the evening will be completion of the initiation of the new members. The interviews which the initiates secured from local and county celebrities will be read to the entire staff and the traditional Viking writers will duly criticise these attempts of first-quarter "cubs". Other phases of the usual Viking initiation, which was not completed at the print shop last Thursday, will be finished. The refreshments planned will consist of ice cream, cake and cookies. All old staff members are invited. Animated Cartoon Idea To Be Used At Men's Informal Crystal Ballroom at the Leopold Hotel Will Again be Scene of Informal The time is again drawing near for another Men's club informal. The big hop of the quarter will be held Friday, February 2, in the Crystal ballroom of the Leopold hotel. Couples will dance to the rhythm of Chuck Cissna's dance orchestra, amid the twinkle of shooting stars from the crystal ball. During the dances that aren't moonlight, the ballroom will take on the appearance of filmland. Cartoon Comedy Idea The walls will be gay with sketches of all your favorite animated cartoon stars. I have been told that Mickey, Minnie, the three little pige, and even the big bad wolf will be there to greet those attending. The program committee has not yet decided whether to have the programs resembling a cut of Mickey Mouse or to allow the fairer sex to intrude onto the programs. If they condescend to do the latter, the programs will be white squares with a picture of both Minnie and Mickey. Miles Is Chairman Richard Miles is general chairman of the dance; Roger Mullin, decorations; Bob Sherwood, programs; Al Charlesworth, refreshments; and Melvin Munson, tickets. President and Mrs. C. H. Fisher and Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Marquis will be patrons and patronesses. Others may be asked. The committee urgently requests that no corsages be worn. Dancing will be from 9:00 to 12:00 p. m.

Buying of tickets prior to luncheons given for special speakers, seems to be the remedy for another badly run student activity, according to sentiment expressed at a recent Inter-Club Council meeting. This suggestion for tickets, which came from the student group, was seconded by Miss Cummins and Miss Longley ,who have been conscious of this inefficiency for some time. Members of the Inter-Club Council feel that these luncheons are both a definite contribution to student life and a custom that helps give this school a personality other than just a sea of faces, to a visiting speaker, and should be continued. However, since it is a non-profit function and run solely for the benefit of the student body, each student should feel that this activity is his responsibility and co-operate to help eliminate this waste and confusion, according to the opinions expressed at the meting. Roland Hayes is Well Received by Bellingham Public Negro Spirituals and Foreign Num bers are Features of Concert By BETH HANKINS Singing to a packed house, Roland Hayes, negro tenor, on Saturday January 20, at the First Christian church thrilled the Bellingham pub lie with an unusual program of clas sical, foreign, and negro spiritual numbers. Hayes' interpretation of the spirituals was an exquisite and sympathetic portrayal of these pop ular Southern melodies, and gave a tone to the finale of his concert which will not be soon forgotten by any of his audience. Foreign numbers, consisting of several in French (LTnvitation au Voyage, Colloque Sentimental, Le The), and several in German (Gan ymede, Wohlin, Adelaide), were sung with a thorough knowledge of the language and understanding of the moods of the songs. A noble and distinct quality of voice enriched these numbers greatly. Spirituals Well Sung The negro spirituals were sung with such a wealth of interest and understanding that they took on new beauty of melody and form for the admiring audience.

These beads had been found by him, still wrapped up in the store paper and box. The name of the firm was stamped on the parcel. I asked him if he was not going to return them, and was answered in a glib, self-assured tone that took it for granted that I must be "troubled" with a heavy conscience to expect a thing like that. This boy was somewhat of the wandering type belonging to the Grand Army of Moochers. His schooling is of a. minor quality. My reaction tjoas one of slight pity concerning his non-cooperative attitude, but still more than that, 1 felt the superiority of outlook to such a thing that I. toas sure comes with higher education (or its attempts) . This week I began to .wonder. I slowly became aware of the vast amount of petty and more serious stealing that is going on in this school, evidently each day. Frankly, I don't know what to think of it all- ^"TnrealHrig attention to this-1 am, i ha way, placing emphasis on a thing that is of no credit to the school as a whole. The students are to blame. It isn't the place for the administration to police our very lockers and clothes hooks. But it is apparently getting to the point where it would be of great service to that vast majority of the students who "keep their noses clean", so to speak. There is little chance of any one student hearing of more than a small percentage of the articles lifted. Yet I can quickly recall knowing of the following in the past year: Three high-grade overcoats, pens and pencils, gloves, two Normal letter sweaters, books, money, purses containing the usual run of small articles, towels, jackets, scarfs, shoes, gym equipment, and so on. I t is a shame that in any school of this kind we cannot lay a thing down for a minute that it isn't taken, and by a "minute" I mean the usual sixty seconds, for we know .of three instances in the past week where small articles were taken (Continued on Page-Two) TRIPS TO LAUREL TAKEN BY GROUP Student Teachers Observe Rural School for Future Aid Conveying thirty former student teachers and several Training school instructors, the Normal's big blue and white bus headed for the Laurel rural school on Wednesday, February 8. As most of the thirty students would eventually teach in a rural school environment it was deemed profitable that they observe the procedure first hand.'

Colorful costumes were used in presenting her programme of songs and dances. The three groups were presented, those from northern Spain, eastern Spain and southern Spain. Miss Espinel was accompanied by Arville Belstad, organist and choir director of the Plymouth Church, Seattle. Mr. Belstad is the director of the Plymouth quartette which sang in assembly last summer quarter. The numbers in Miss Espinel's program from northern Spain included: "Muineira" (Gaalicia); "Los Pastores" (Castile); "Resala-da" (Santander); "El Entierro de un Burro" (Salamanca); "Cantode Pandero" (AUsturias). Those from eastern Spain were: "Jota" (Velen-cia); "Canto de la Trilla" (Murcia); "La Pastoreta" (Catalonia); "El Platero" (Murcia). Southern Spain was portrayed through: "Seguidilla Sevillana" (Garcia Lorca); "La Tana" (Cabello); and air from "Las Hijas de Zebedeo" (Chapi). Clubs Will Vote Proposal Provides for Rating of School Organizations Between now and March 3 clubs will vote on a proposal to rate active school organizations.

Monthly, 1857, CornhiU Magazine, 1860, Botanical Gazette, 1875, and from the Forum, 1886. These old editions have ponder ous article titles, and the style of writing in some cases is extremely flowery and stilted. The print tends to; be quite small making an unat tractive page. There is a decided difference between the brilliant orange cover of the Atlantic Month-: ly for January 1933 and thesomber (Continued on Page Four) Drama Club is to Present a Jazz Satire by Kaufman and Connelly "Beggars on Horseback," a jazz satire by Kaufman and Connelly, will be presented by the Drama club for their winter quarter production on Thursday and Friday, March 2 and 3, at 8 : 0 0 p. m,, in the Nor-mal school auditorium Although spicea with humor from beginning' to end, the play is not true to the usual style of American comedies which regard evening clothes and abrupt wealth as quite essential parts for a happy ending.

The bill states: "The degree of bachelor of arts in education may be granted to any student who has completed one of the advanced four-year courses of study in the state Normal schools in the £fcate of Washington: Provided, said course of study is authorized in accordance with the prescribed law and represents four years of advanced work in teacher training." It was first introduced into the legislature in 1925, was passed by both houses with a good margin, but was vetoed by Governor Hartley. I t was ag,ain introduced in 1929 and again passed both houses and received a second veto from Governor Hartley. In 1920 the normal schools were permitted to give four-year courses and since that time agitation on the degree bill has been persistent. The curriculum committee at Bell-ingham has already worked out requirements for granting the degree and hope to have these approved by the faculty and ready to announce within the next few weeks. All three normal schools are working for uniform requirements. o — "Silly Sam" to be Presented on KVOS Normal Programme Tonight at 9:30 the Normal broadcast from K V O S will feature the play "Silly. Sam," which was presented in last Friday's assembly. It will be put on by Victor H. Hop-pe's play production group. "This play, a melodrama," says Roger Chapman, director, "should make good radio fare since it contains clever dialogue and an amusing climax." The theme is an unusual one, since it deals with the "adoption" of a paralyzed old mill worker, Sarah Omerod by the 'village half-wit, Silly Sam. Characters in the play will be portrayed as follows: Sarah Omerod, Harriet Rickersoh; Silly Sam, Nelson Brewer; Emma, Katherine Bow-den; and the Curate, Roger Chapman. ; o 'Glacier Priest' 111; Removed to Hospital in Spokane, Saturday The Rev.

Born in Constantinople and a graduate of Heidelburg university, Baron von Kuhlmann is proclaimed by Winston Churchill as the foremost orator of Germany in the use of the English language. Baron von Kuhlmann's chief interest is fixed on political problems, particularly the relations between Germany and her neighbors England and France. The questions of reparations and war debts are also subjects to which he has given his attention.

Club News In the Viking The Dest way to judge club activities is by checking on them in the pages of the Northwest Viking. In order to simplify and condense the news from school organizations the column "News from the Clubs" is devoted solely to reports coming from them. Thus announcements to club members of all clubs are localized in that section. The responsibility of getting the news into this paper is left to the clubs. No club may expect representation in the pages of the Viking unless the news is placed on the editors desk by Monday at four o'clock. Such news should be typewritten or legibly handwritten and should be concise and accurate. If news from your club is not in "News from the Clubs" your club reporter should be encouraged to do his. part to see that it gets to the office of the school before the deadline. City Lends Political Aid That the Chamber of Commerce in Bellingham has voiced its disapproval of the bill closing the Normal schools is heartening news. The business men of the city evidently see more in our school than bi-weekly assemblies. The school is an economic asset in this locality. The community would feel its loss considerably. The business men are helping us both on this basis and the basis that a college is of intellectual value in any community. They are to be commended for their movement in this respect. The local Parent-Tacher association is also to be thanked for their action in sending to a certain representative from this district a letter reproving him for his attitude concerning both the degree bill and the one at the present time under consideration. His attitude toward progressive educational legislation is just one of which the people of Bellingham should not be proud. . o . Fool's Names And Fool's Faces Publicity fanatics who insist on writing their names on the bulletin board; would-be cartoonists, practicing their art on announcements; inveterate wise-crackers being smart in pencil should think twice of the childish simplicity shown in these destructive activities before continuing ^ e m . ^ e f c u W e ^ n boards are for publishing; bulletins. Wise-crackr .Sing and bad cartooning are for cheap magazines,:, The medium of advertising has made American "slogan" conscious. The consumption of a commodity in our modern world depends largely on how much appeal its accompanying slogan has for the consuming public. "The Skin You Love to Touch," "They Satisfy," "Nine Out of Every Ten Have It," are examples of connotations that symbolize some of the necessities of our present day life. Technocracy Not New Technocracy falls under the above definition. Technocracy is not new, for the ideas advanced by the technocrats are as old as the problems that accompanied the industrial revolution. But, for the idea to take hold and have meaning for the majority of Americans to make them seize upon the idea and do some thinking, a slogan-was needed, was almost imperative. And now we have it—Technocracy! The Technocrats! How smoothly the word rolls off the tongue. How neatly it fits an hitherto unfilled space in our lives! What Is Technocracy?' But what is this technocracy? Just what does it mean to you and to me, and to the rest of the consuming public? That the world is in a period of transition is usually overlooked by most people. Talk of the depression fills all conversation and thinking, and our high speed machine civilization is the goal for which humanity has been striving. I n order to place hfcmanity on a higher plane, our present facilities for production must be placed in the competent hands of the engineers, the chemists, and other branches of science. Under their guidance and program of distribution with newer, bigger, and better machines, it will be necessary for man to labor a maximum of two hours a day, four days a week to produce all the necessities of life. Money will be abolished and in its place will be substituted horsepower meney. This horsepower money will be figured in terms of work produced, and when you desire some commodity you will merely exchange so many of your earned horsepower for whatever you desire. $20,000 a year is the salary the technocrats offer you with unlimited leisure, unlimited creature comforts and crime abolished. These are the promises of the technocrats. These are the promises coming from the men who caused America to become the greatest producing nation on earth! Training School Sees Peer Gynt Fourth Grade Dramatizes Story in Scandinavran Stucrj Three scenes from the Norwegian story of Peer Gynt were enacted by the fourth grade this morning, in the Training school assembly. The fourth graders selected their presentation from a number of the Scandinavian plays which they had dramatized in connection with their study of the people of those countries. They had studied every phase of Scandinavian life. Pictures painted by Swedish artists were brought by different members of the grades. Greig's music was presented to them in record form and they sang some of his songs. They become familiar with the literature of those north- European countries, and wrote and talked about them in their composition and oral English. -The famous Norwegian, Amundsen, fascinated the children and they procured about Kim and other Norwegian explorers as much information as possible. One boy, volunteered to make a map, so that it might be plain to all where the explorers came from and where the action of the stories took place. Class Selects Characters The characters for Peer Gynt were selected by the class. The first scene showed Peer at home telling his adventure to his mother; in the second, he was at the wedding from which he soon ran away with the bride. (Peer's pranks amused and delighted the youngsters). As there is always dancing at Norwegian weddings, several couples of children danced folk dances they had learned in gym class from Miss Short. Finally the hero appeared in the Hall of the Mountain .King. .All through the week, the fourth grade room was strewn with painted scenery and bright colored costumes. Both girls and boys sawed, hammered and painted scenery, and both girls and boys sewed on costumes. o LAUREL TRIPS TAKEN (Continued from Page One) ceived mail.

The'-hew year brought a job to Donald Oates, who is now teaching the-lifth and sixth grades in Wood-enville, Washington. •'• Cards and dancing were the features of entertainment at the quarterly frosh party held last Saturday evening in the big gym. Hearts of all sizes and streamers of red and white were instrumental in transforming the room into a veritable cupid's abode. The orchestral strains came from within an immense old-fashioned valentine of red and white and from the center hung a huge heart to which ribbons extending to the corners of the room were attached. Entertainment Is Varied The program during intermission included: Steel guitar selections, Bob Hemphill; toe and tap dances, Genevieve Green, accompanied by Mary Clendenen; vocal solos, Johnny Lensrud; and a balcony act with Jean Shaver as soloist and Bob Hemphill accompanying her on the steel guitar. Numerous card tabies were placed at the end of the room and various card games proved very popular with the guests. Dainty heart-shaped pastries and fruit punch were served during the entire evening.

A fighting band of Vikings headed by Coach Sam Carver left this morning on their annual southern roadtrip with hopes of rounding out their season with a couple of victories. Tonight they play Pacific Lutheran College at Parkland and tomorrow night they will tangle with the fast St. Martins Rangers at La-pey. The locals should have little trouble in getting over the Pacific Lutheran squad tonight, considering the fact that they took them into camp in a lopsided game on the Whatcom court in the early part of the season. St. Martins Good The game with the Lacey quintet should be a nip-and-tuck session if the locals can succeed in holding Haggerty, flashy Ranger forward, down to a few points. It was Haggerty who blasted the Vikings' hopes of victory when the southerners invaded the local camp on their road-trip north. The Rangers just recently returned from a trip which took them to Albany, Oregon. Their record shows wins over several good outfits. In their game with Ellensburg they lost out in the dying seconds of play by a few points. Takes Large Squad A larger squad was taken on the trip this morning, ten men being taken instead of eight, the usual number. Those taking the trip included the six M's (McNeil, Moser, Million, Miles, Dutch McBeath, Clint McBeath) and Rork, Sorenson, Nol-t e and Zoet. While on the trip the squad will stay in Tacoma.

The first scheduled games foretold the good contests that were to follow. Both the Relics and the Doormats had to play overtime to chalk up a win apiece. Viking Manor, one of the dark horses, won the first half with only two close games, against the Relics and the Go-op, title defenders. At midseason the Night Raiders placed second with one defeat while the Relics held down third place. The respective standings of the other teams at midseason were: Angels, Co-ops Harlequins, Revelers, Doormats and the Bachelors. The second half will not be completed until Monday but the Manor is decidedly the favorite, with a game against the Co-ops yet to be played. ' If the Revelers, a classy second-half outfit can defeat the Relics on Monday, a three-way tie may develop for second place. The Harlequins is the third team involved.

The Junior Varsity is getting started now andj we only wish there were a few more pre-lims to give them a chance to redeem themselves for their early season performances. * ,*____* * Recently, we took in the basketball tilt at Seattle between Oregon State and the University of Washingon—and what a game! The U led all the way during the first half and near the close of the game with three minutes to go the score was 29-all. Oregon State finally won 33 to 29. But what impressed us was that in Ed Lewis, Oregon's lanky center, we were privileged to watch the best basketball player we have ever seen. Lewis is high scorer of the conference but what is more, he is a marvelous passer. He is the center of the team work, giving teh signals and diagnosing plays as he stands out by the center of the floor, eyes wide open, cleverly faking the ball this way and that. Hec Edmundson, Washington's coach, has called Lewis one of the best men ever to participate in Coast basketball, and for Ed's sake, we hope that the Staters cop the conference title. It's just too bad! We mean that unless Mt Baker erupts and an earthquake hits Bellingham, nobody's going to keep those Manorites from copping the intra-mural championship. We had hopes that the Relics would stop them and make the race interesting but the boys over a t the "shack" nave shown us that they knowl how to play basketball. FOR BASKETBALL MAY BE FORMED Plan Would Include Willamette, Whitman, C. P. S., and Three Normals FOOTBALL NOT INCLUDED "Plans are being made for a new basketball conference to include the three Normal schools of the state with Willamette, College of Puget Sound and Whitman, present members of the Northwest conference," said Coach Sam Carver a week ago, when interviewed on the subject. Because of lack of funds for long road trips, many of the schools of the Northwest conference are being forced to cancel their games. As a result of this the schools are looking toward a new conference where the expenses will not be so great. Ellensburg, Cheney, Willamette, Whitman and Bellingham are favorable to the new plan, while C. P. S. has not yet been sounded on the question. "In the event this conference is successful," said Mr. Carver, "it will probably mean two road trips during the season. One of them would take in St. Martins, C. P. S., and Willamette, in Oregon, and the other would include Cheney, Ellensburg and Whitman. The present budget for athletics would, of course have to be enlarged to take care of these trips. » This conference would not take care of football schedules because of the great expense involved. o Jayvees Defeated In Close Contest Completed Foul Shot Wins for Y Second Team Game atWAHDS Imagine Our Embarrassment! WeToldaLie In Our Advertisement Last Friday We advertised a non-run stocking without the usual mesh effect of non-run stockings and we discover now that this number runs just like any regularly woven stocking. We don't know how it happened because we bought these hose from a manufacturer whom we have dealt with for some years and whose stockings we sell in our hosiery department every day. The only explanation we have is that a wrong number Was sent us by mistake. Anyway! . . . we want every woman who has purchased this stocking from us with this feature in mind to return them for full credit. We realize that we will be unable to reach everyone who has bought them from us, but we will do the best we can, and we ask any customer to call our policy to the attention of anyone who took our advertisement at its face value and does not see this contradictory adve£r tisement Will you, please? And now, before we go put on the dunce cap and sit in the corner for the rest of the day, we want to remind you that we have never yet deliberately misrepresented merchandise in our advertising and we never will.
