A strnj^e took place for the election of officers. It was necessary to ballot twice for president of the elub, even though Joe Herm-sen attempted to concede the office to Frank GerL Feeling ran high; votes and members present were recounted. Unlike usual student body elections, candidates were plentiful. Even the margin for electing secretary- treasurer could be decided by a couple of votes. Luckily no vice president was chosen as Harry Appleton continues in this position for the quarter by virtue of his election-during Summer quarter. As for business—well, a Men's club dance is still hanging in the air... The "Smoker" was history, of the fabled variety. Hermsen, in putting across the suggestion of the hop, stated the facts of the case: Men give no dances in the school year, while the Women give six. But in Roy Arnett's way of seeing it, there will be no affair at all if co-operation becomes as stinted as in former "W" Club dances. However, it will not take place this quarter as no dates are open 'on the school calendar for the Fall quarter. Due to unfinished business and the trend of interest given, perhaps President Frank Geri will call another meeting sometime soon.

Guy Maier and Leo Pattison, the pianistic "twins", will give a recital at the First Christian Church auditorium, on November 23rd, devoting the major part of their program to an interesting and varied representation of modern composers. These remarkable American pianists have, during the past few seasons, advanced to a position at the very top of their particular field and have carried their programs to Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii and Europe. Separate Personalities as One Maier and Pattison are two very distinct personalities in private life, but subjugate their individualities in order to do justice to the great art of two-piano playing. At one time or another they have been described as the "pianistic Siamese twins," the "Damon-and-Pythias of the Piano" or "Thor and Odin." It is not enough to say that the listener can hardly tell where one leaves off at one keyboard and the other begins at the second, though that is true. Neither is it enough to say that they play everything from Bach down to Germaine Tail-leferre, who is the most.super-modern of all the moderns, though that is also true. They play a glorified form of jazz, thereby confounding the, lofty of brow and delighting all the rest. • .—— o •'.• An amendment to the constitution of the Klipsun staff was passed at the meeting held Thursday evening, November 8, at the home of Mr. H. E. Fowler, the faculty advisor. The Klipsun board, which formerly included only the editor, business manager and three representatives, was changed by amendment to include the whole Klipsun staff. The meeting was called to order by Glen Fairbanks, business manager of the Klipsun. After the constitution was read to the staff, the amendment was passed and the meeting placed in charge of the Klipsun Editor, Naomi Chase and plans for the annual were discussed. * o EMBER 6 PRESENTATION DATE Guy Maier and Leo Pattison, Pianists, who will give a recital at the First Christian Church next Friday Evening.

Joslyn of the Washington Society for Mental Hygiene gave her second talk in Mental Hygiene Institute, last night. She is conducting these talks in Belling-ham under the auspices of the local committee. Miss Joslyn spoke on "Understanding Ourselves;" because she believes we should know ourselves before we can make any attempt in shaping other people's lives. She described some of the fundamental human drives, some of the ways to meet situations, and pointed out why certain types of reactions are unhealthy. MISSIAIHDEN Play Will be Produced in High School at Lynden on Evening of December 5 for Rehearsal. BOARD MEETING IS POSTPONED TO MON. Gradually, but surely, the minds •of America are demobilizing. Ten years after the cessation of hostilities with Germany, President Nicholas Murray Butler is now announcing the re-establishment at Column Dia University of the Deutsches Haus, a center of German culture that was discontinued during the -war. Social science classes in American colleges and Normal Schools treat Germany with a greater liberality than ever before The majority of institutions have re-established the German language in their curricula. Bellingham Normal added German to its foreign language work this quarter. Because of the absence from the city of President C. H. Fisher, and the inability of Don Stickney and Eldred Bechtel, to attend the meeting, the weekly session of the board of control, postponed from Monday to Thursday, did not take place. Secretary Roy Arnett stated this morning that matters to be taken up by the board at its next meeting demand the attention of President Fisher, and that it was deemed advisable to wait until his return before meeting. The next session of the board will take place at the regular time, Monday at 4 p. m., it was announced.

Wisconsin just got through Under shaded lights and streamers of red, white and blue, the freshmen held their annual party, November 10, in the big gym. The beautifully decorated gym typified the spirit of Armistice Day in the theme of the "Dance of the Nations" which was successfully carried out by Virginia Kahlke, head of the Decoration committee. , A delightful program was put on during the intermission of the dance under the supervision of Margaret Perry, chairman of the program committee. Russian, English and French dances were given by members of Miss Kathleen Skalley's and Helen Stone Dozier's dancmg classes. Aileen Arland gave a Russian dance dressed in the costume of that country. Six girls from Miss Skalley's folk-dancing class gave an English folk dance in costume. Lenore Young and Lenore Handra-han did a French "Doll Dance." Refreshments were served by Mary Beth Parkhurst and her committee. The reception committee headed by Bertha Altose received the guests. Glenn Goddard was chairman of the' rooms and furniture committee and Norman Porter of the clean-up committee. 4 Miss Ruth Piatt; the class advisor, expriessedher^satisf^ticm w i ^ ^ J^^I^t':.W^ the short tune in which they had Thursday, December 6, at 8:15, is the date set for the presentation in the auditorium of the Drama club's quarterly play, "Sun-Up," by Lula Vollmer. At present the work on the play is coming along satisfactorily, according to Victor H. Hoppe, director. The three acts are being prepared and set-ups arranged for acting out the scenes of the mountaineer folk. The entire play is given in the backwoods dialect of the hill people of North Carolina. The cast is experiencing some difficulty in attaining the accent; but is gradually getting the. hiU-frilly manners of the rude country people. These untutored folk have" built lip tlieir own cd e and set of customs, and there is a bitter feud spirit existing among them. They are "agin" everything that is represented by the government, including law and order. Claire Wilson in playing the part of Widow Cagle gives an unusually strong exhibition of talent in the character portrayal of this old woman's perverted view of life. But she finally sees the light dawn in a new way as the drama of real life closes. Margaret Sheppard taking the leading part as the sweetheart wife of Rufe Cagle also becomes a Widow Cagle when Rufe, who goes away to war, is killed by the Germans. Innovation Planned Instead of haying the customary dress rehearsal the night before presentation, Mr. Hoppe plans to produce the play at Lynden high school, Wednesday, December 5. This has not been tried before by the Drama club but is expected to be a great success.

Dr. Hidemichi came to the United States in his youth, receiving both primary and secondary education in this country. He is a graduate of the U. of California, graduating with honors in history. He later attended Chicago U. and Harvard and received his Ph. D. from'the University of Pennsylvania.

Irene Schagel, Vernon V. Vine, Peggy Puller REPORTERS Ben Hamilton Mary Elizabeth Fowler Margaret Miller Joe Hermsen Gertrude Berg Catherine Morse Dorothy Sasse Paul Howell Dolly Anderson ^ v ^ BOARD OF CONTROL The recent showing of the circumstances surrounding the action of the board of control tn dealing with debate has placed before the student body the qeiistion of what is the board of control and why. This matter of secrecy concerning the action of the board of control is tbe culmination of an effort to exclude the student body from an un-standing of its own affairs. This effort has doubtless been unconscious, tne board of control believing that it has been working always for the brtternient of student conditions. Without doubt the members of the board of control are sincere in their effort to give the Bellingham Normal a safe and sound government, but the success which they have achieved is subject to some question. It is a somewhat accepted principle in governmental circles that public '••'•;' knowledge of all affairs is only detrimental to the well being of the same public. And still another accepted principle is that the wishes of the public should be consulted before any move involving this public should hie made. Since an election fiasco during the spring of the year, when board • of control candidates spouted meaninglessly concerning their so-called platforms, persons elected to this body have been pledged to stand for •o set measure, but merely to work, as they^see fit, for the good of the school and student body. 'Then, from the time of the election until the end of their term, the student body as a whole loses touch with the representatives which it cnose to transact its business. The board of control makes no special effort to place its actions before the public. Until last spring, not even the reports of the meetings were carried in the Viking. And when the v school paper announced its wishes to place before the student body the doings of the board, representatives of the board stated that it was not desired that a member of the paper staff attend meetings; but that reports would be given out later. These reports, given out by the secretary, or kdividual board member, have invariably contained only what these individuals have wished to give out, though on the whole the reports have been complete, and without bias. However, since the debate question has arisen, and the interest of a •umber of students has been aroused, the board has passed the ruling allowing the secretary only to issue any statement concerning the action ^ i f the board at one of its meetings. This action is probably to preclude the possibility of misapprehension of the motives of the board, but at the v: saime time smacks of secrecy and suppression of facts. '••''/:Why should the persons who elect the board members be prevented • v from knowing what these same members are doing? The city council of Bellingham uses a standard system which would accomodate the fcoard of control in its desire for privacy of discussion, and the student body in its desire for knowledge of the boards action. '-The council holds weekly meetings, any person interested in any measure before the council may come and be heard. If a matter demands the private consideration of the council, a committee of the whole session, from which the public is barred, takes place. At this time, however, no official action may be taken, but the council may determine its action, and vote in public at its next regular meeting. In the event that matters of general interest are to be considered at the council session, when the expenditure of money is involved, or the possible infringement on the rights of some for the benefit of many, a 'public hearing is set for a future date, and announcement is made, so that every person interested has a fair opportunity to present his case to the council. • If this method was adopted by the board of control, is is doubted that great interest would be taken in the board of control meetings. They would probably not attract large crowds of students desirous of having the board enact measures. Rather, the board could probably meet in almost the same privacy it now does, hut the way would be cleared for actual student government, with students enabled to place before the board their wishes. Certainly on matters of interest such as debate, the board would be -much, better informed on the students' views under such a system, than it is as the result of committee investigations, which, though they may be ^conscientious, cannot hope to-achieve the general opinion such as a public hearing would. The board of control system needs reorganization. The system which is now used in good faith is antiquated. The change is not radical. It would not upset the workings of the board, but would rather enable the -board to reflect more truly in its actions the will of the students, and would probably silence in a great measure any dissatisfaction which may result from such actions of the board as that recently concerning debate. • V This is not an argument on the debate question. The board of control having acted, the question is closed, as far as the writer is cons'cerned. But the principles which surround the actions of the board are erroneous, and future problems should be prevented by a change in the h/oard procedure. —V. V. V.

After being elected, President Geri became quite eloquent. Following is his speech of acceptance: "Dear friends and democrats, Mr. Hoover and myself wish to extend to you our most gracious appreciation for electing us as presidents. Although I am not very heartily in favor of staffing the ballot box I think it is only right that I should thank ..doubly ..those ..who voted doubly.

Harcburt, Brace Company, New York, 1928. In the sparkling, interesting style Louis' Untenneyer recounts the life of the Prophet of Isreal arid the great law giver of the Christian world. The author makes this well known and mighty biblical character live and breathe and struggle with the problems that men of all ages are forced to cope: We are taken from scene to,scene of this exciting novel and held spellbound at the thrill of it. In this rich- Egyptian atmosphere we find the gripping narrative of the lives of the Pharaohs. "*" '^ • ---------- Northwest Viking - 1928 November 16 - Page 3 ---------- iPERS HAND 6 - 0 - OEFEATTOYIKlNfiS Weber Flays Good Game; Holes Made W Viking Lineup when Brickson and Moe Are Injured. : On a sand-covered field in tihe rear of the University of.Washing-tan pavilion, the Viking went down to a six to nothing defeat, last Saturday, before the crushing- on klaught of the heavy SuperrVarsity team. •, '^Two big holes in the Viking lineup were made in the first few minutes of play, when Erickson had his leg hurt, and Moe, who had been ill for several days previous to the game, was unable to carry on due to a weakened condition. Thus weakened, the Vikings had a tough row to hoe, and were hard pressed to hold their opponents as well as "they did. Karl Weber, husky Viking back, who was out of the line-up the week before, was back in the game last Saturday, and played a game that was even better than before. Dickey and Cole, both second string backs who got into the game, showed to good advantage, though they lacked experience. Game Hard Fought ' The game was hard fought and scoreless until the' fourth quarter when the Supers, using the California formation, started,a march down toward the Viking goal that was never headed till after they Had. crossed over for a touchdown. The try for point went wild and the scare stood: Normal 0, and Super- Varsity 6. The score did not change before the end of the game, and the Vikings were forced co return home a defeated team. So far this season the Viking team has not been as successful as was hoped for at the start of 'he season. In fact ti:ey have lost four games and have won only one contest. A victory over the U. of W. Frosh this week would' make the Vikings feel a little better, and would wind up a rather hectic season with a feeling of a hard job well done. ; -r—o" ' JUNIOR VIKING TEAM PLAYS GOOD FOOTBALL The Viking eleven is not the only team that plays football in this institution. The Training school seventh and eighth grades boast a team that can play real football. They call themselves the Junior Vikings. These Junior Vikings, have played three games this year and have won one and lost two. Their first game was with the Roosevelt school of this city, which the training school team lost twenty to nothing. The second game was with the Franklin graders, and the . Junior" Vikings again went down to defeat. Then in an effort to redeem themselves they again played the Roosevelt team and won the game by a score of nineteen to nothing. These plucky training school lads have scored more points in one game than their big brothers, the Vikings, .have.scored in the whole season. There are several players on the Junior Viking squad. who show promise of ability that is worth de* veloping. The most promising of these is Sherwood Edwards, who handles himself like a veteran player. Tuesday night, Nov. 19, will see the start-of the basketball season for 1928-29, when the Normal Junior Varsity opens its schedule in the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium. Then oh the following night the Normal Super-Varsity opens the season in", a game With the Y. M. C. A. team. The J. V.'s will play twice a week, while the Supers will play only one game weekly. The coaches have not as yet. picked the teams that will start the games, but will have the teams ready by Tuesday night when the J-V's swing into action. A large number.of the prospects- are still turning out for football, and will not be available until after Saturday. However the coaches are counting on the services of Lea Cox, Weber, Odell, McLaughlin, and Anderson, to help round out a squad for the opening night. Later permanent teams will be picked. o^ TOMORROW'S GAME IS WINDUP BATTLE (Continued From Page One) ing football schedule for this year so every one should be out in the stands cheering the fellows to victory. They need more support than ever, after the disheartening defeat of last Saturday in the game with the Supervarsity, which was a tough game to lose. Last year the Frosh took a severely contested mixup by a 13 to 7 score .which indeed was a bitter dose of medicine to swallow. This week the men are out on the field working every night to avenge the memory of the sting of theJ'for-mer defeat. Moe Injured. Iver Moe who comes to us from last year's Frosh squad will be unable to take part ii\. the fracas tomorrow due to injury he received in the play last Satin-day. His services will be missed but Gunn with his experience will plug * his tackle position ably. . Weber, flashy half whose serveces were missed in the last game, will be back in his regular position. "Chuck" Erickson, star fullback and signal barker who has been having trouble with his leg in the last two games seems to be much improved. , The probable lineup for the kick-off will be as follows: McLaughlin and Anderson ends; Cather and Gunn tackles; Geri and Bechtel guards; Stickney center; Odell quarter; Erickson fullback; while Weber at half will be set off by either Williams or Cole for the remaining vacancy. Bert Cole, a newcomer who hails from Ferndale has been putting up a hard fight for the position all season and .shows much promise of developing into a good ball carrier next year. :—o The University of Wisconsin believes in a real tie-up. ,• George Little, director of the Badger's athletics^ has just finished negotiations with the University of Pennsylvania for the participation of the two schools. in five major sports: football,., basketball,., baseball, track, and rowing. — o NO DANCE The "Viking Five" dance, which was to be held tonight at the .Aftermath Club house, has been postponed.

Our last game of the season comes tomorrow with the U. of W. frosh.' If we win that we can be doubly thankful. If we lose we' can still thank the team from Lacey. * * * * . Any Way you look at it, the Vikings had a tough break last week. Erickson and Moe, two of the best men on the team, had to go out of the game in the first quarter, leaving two gaps that the reserves could not fill. * * * * If the Vikings cannot win, the Junior Vikings can.

This practice of going out into the small communities and presenting ! dramatic productions, programs and ; recitals is rather widespread and • well worked out by some college communities. At the University of . North Carolina a group of students have been organized for some time, -known as the "Playmakers." Professor Coch has been directing its activities so now it has a regular circuit which tours the whole state giving many varied programs. Many other colleges do this work.

HOMECOMING IS REAL CARNIVAL The carnival spirit was king last Saturday, November 10, at the University of Washington when hundreds of alumni attended Homecoming week-end. Revolving and moving signs, streamers and banners decked the campus and the entire surounding business district, as all entered into the spirit of the annual visitation. The old Denny bell that tolled class hours in the 60's downtown rang again in Denny Hall cupola for returning grads at noon Saturday. An 8x12 football swung between two goal posts as big as telegraph poles on 45th street bordering the campus. Every fraternity and sorority welcomed back its grads with signs and gala dress. For undergraduates the program' started Wednesday noon with a pep parade. Prizes and trophies were offered by both organized houses and business men of the district for the winners of sign and ticket-selling contests. There was an alumni banquet at the Commons Fridays night, the big game with California on Saturday, and alumni dances on Friday and Saturday nights to finish up the program.

One week, not so long ago, 524 books were drawn from this desk. Of the ten main categories, the heading of Literature is by far the most popular, as exactly 166 of these volumes were taken oat. 'Sociology comes second with 116 drawings. And the following diminish in sequence: Science, 72; History, 46; Fine Arts, 32; Biography, 20; Travel, 21; Useful Arts and Philosophy, each 17; Religion, 11; and 3 for Language. The figures are representative, for they were picked at random from the records of a former quarter during a time of average demand. The reserve room is filled to capacity hourly due to the nature of material which it contains. ANDERSON ELECTED TO FILL EBTDIIIAL O H m i s SPRING Board Selects Dolly Anderson From Many Candidates to Rule Northwest Viking in Spring. Whoopee" Red Arrow Scribes Publication, Goes on Sale Today CHICHESTER ELECTED MGR. Barney Chichester Retiring Editor of Paper Is Chosen Business Manager for Coming Quarter. -W. S. N. S.- The economic law governing supply and demand can be put to use profitably in education. If more entering students would study the ^supply and demand of teaching positions,, there would be fewer prospective teachers without positions after graduation. A survey made by the Appointment Bureau of the University of Washington shows some things of vital interest to teachers-to- be. History attracted 126 candidates, who on graduating found only. 36 jobs. The supply of English instructors also exceeded the demand. Things were reversed in the Business Administration world when only 20 teachers were available to fill the demand for 90. The same .is true of 18. Home Economics ma-. Jors who had 73 bids. Foreign Language teachers placed about evenly, while there, was a marked demand •for -mathematics and physical education instructors. ;' Prospective pedagogues should also iremember'that most of the requests ;for teachers ii^uke ;the. candidates :to direct extra-curricular activities, :such as athletics, dramatics, debate. ;Or chorus,'glee club and orchestra. So if you're'cdming to a teacher-training institution merely for a cultural background, let your tastes -:and talents guide your choice of subject. But if you're here to learn •to teach,' let the demand in the j teaching field also guide you, for it is the teacher most fn demand who :can get the best position. -W. S. N.

Dolly Anderson was unanimously elected editor of the Northwest Viking a tthe Board of Control's special meeting of last week, held Friday, March 8. Miss Anderson was given the honor and responsibility of this post in recognition of her tireless efforts and for her ability which she has shown in the two quarters' work on the staff of this journal. The post of business manager, vacated . by Harry M. Apple-ton, is to be filled by Barney Chichester, retiring editor of the Viking. Chichester is well qualified for the position, having been business manager for two previous quarters. Roy Arnett begins his seventh quarter as secretary of the Students' Association, due to his reappointment by the board at . that time. These positions are the only regular salaried jobs offered by the board, and incur much responsibility on the part of the students holding them. Second of Lectures on Foresty Heard Because the forest industry is the backbone, of Washington's ecohorriic standing, we must protect and preserve our forests.- Thjs was the general subject of the secretary of the (Washington Forest Association, C. S. Cowan's lecture, entitled, "Economic Importance of Our Forests," in last Tuesday's assembly. Today, in Washington, we have over 254,000,000,000 feet of standing timber, said Mr....Cowan.; This he divided into the two units of east and west of the -Cascades. West of the Cascades, red cedar, hemlock, Douglas fir, spruce and white pirie are predominent, while in the eastern part of Washington the yellow pine, white pine, spruce, jack pine, and hemlock are found. Reviews Early History . He reviewed the pioneer history (Continued on Page Four) . At last the "Whoopee" issue of The Red Arrow has come off the press and is on sale at. all entrances to the Campus today. • A great deal of interest has been displayed in this novel issue which differs widely from all former numbers. The name might lead one to believe that the articles were all of a light, humorous nature, but there are a number of substantial stories and poems which should furnish material for the more serious reader. Faculty Writes The faculty being thrilled with the "Whoopee" idea, has provided some humorous material. Mr. Hoppe has penned an article worthy of any national humor magazine. Kol-stead's contribution consists of a rhythmical i n t e r p r e ' t a tion of "Strange Days." Leonard Keppler's enunciation of the steps that led him to the altar is very diverting although its literary" quality might be questioned. "A Girl In Assembly" describes in verse some social difficulties. Modernistic Cover The modernistic trend of the cover is carried out in purple on a neutral background with the Arrow motif still in evidence. The staff of The Red Arrow, which consists of Jack Gudmund-son, editor; Barney Chichester, associate editor; Lloyd Beckes, business manager, and Mark Jarret, assistant business manager, and Kristine Thordarson, circulation manager, deserves a great deal of credit for putting out such an unique publication o ; Sophomores Promise Unique Party, April 5 [Bfe'Newf:in.

IN E Bill Has Passed Both Houses, Awaits the Governor's Signature He Is Thought to be Favorable SHOWALTER BILL FAILS Plans are now under way for the big Soph party to be given in the Big Gym, April 5. A very unique and clever idea is being carried out by all the committee, but the secret has not as yet been divulged. With Fern. B... Johnson as general chairman, the committees have been bubbling .over with new. ideas. The Sophs are making up for the party they-.,dMn't have this quarter. Committees are: Decoration: Ruth Steele, chairman; Genevieve Evatt, Geraldine Warren, Ed. Hunnicutt, Thad Ellis, Will Lamphere. Program: Alvin Anderson, chairman; Dorothy Swanson, Wallace Gregory. Advertising: Rosa Ott, chairman; Arlene Johanson, Beatrice Johnson. Music: Liz Gable. Refreshments: Grace Thompson, chairman; Mildred Stoll, Guy Springsteel. Cleanup: Chuck Erickson. Faculty Revels in Tea-ta-Teas; Some Slyly Say It's Spring Fever Maybe it's spring fever, but anyway we're pretty sure it isn't bone-, set tea that attracts various., members of the faculty to the science office about four o'clock in the afternoon. After all it's March, you know, and even Alice-in-Wonderland had a Mad Tea Party with a March Hare. We would just love to know what the main topics of discussion "over the teacups" includes at those frequent tea parties, which are given in-that conveniently secluded nook down the hall from The Viking office. Can't you, just picture Miss Ro-sene and Miss Sundquist engaged in a feverish argument over the Einstein Theory, while poor Miss Piatt makes the tea? And, most- likely, Miss Cummins and Mr. Winther, too, have lengthy discussions about the League of Nations and Hoover's inaugural address. Maybe the neighborly speculations of The Viking staff are all wet. Do you really suppose teachers are human and sometimes forget the classroom sde of life long enough to talk about commonplace things at such delightful little "tea-t-a-tea-ts"? The Nemalthelminthes Cause Freshmen Worry And if you ,see the poor little frosh struggling thru the halls with yards and yards of paper artistically glued together, billowing and fluttering about them, bearing such inscriptions 'as diagrams of family trees (all the "way from jellyfish and worms to clams and sea-squirts), and such headings as Ne-maithelminthes, Echinodermata and SONG CONTEST | Spring vacation! The ideal I time to write that school song ! for Alma Mater. With tests, I term papers and lessons as a 1 thing of the past, all young I aspirants might put forth I their leisure moments in po- I etry and music. * _ «. .„_,— Platyhelminthes; well, anyway, don't laugh. They're only freshmen studying evolution. . • Of particular interest to students of this institution is the fact that the bill granting Normal School students a degree for a four-year course has passed both houses of the legislature, and at the time of this writing, Wednesday afternoon, the bill had been placed in the hands of the governor for his signature. It is not yet known whether or not the governor will approve the bill, but it is the general belief that he is favorably inclined. This is one of the few bills as regards education and educational institutions that has: "made the grade" through both the House and Senate. Showalter Bill Tabled The Showalter bill, which .has been the subject of much discussion everywhere in the state, that was to have set up a county and state board of education, and to have made the state school, superintendent's office appointive instead of by popular vote, passed in the Senate, but was laid on the table in the House Tuesday afternoon, by a tie vote. About the most. significant item concerning the educational institutions is the defeat of the anti-millage bill. This is a complete victory for the five major, institutions in the state, as its defeat does.not now make them dependent upon requests for money, but leaves them sure of receiving a certain millage from the tax money of the state. :—o CAMPUS DAY DATED Sam Ford, Co-op Manager Here, Will Travel Southward to Attend Annual Convention of Bookstores.

She has earned her position by faithful and efficient service during the past two quarters. It has been several years since a feminine hand has guided the editorial pencil, but we believe that Miss Anderson will carry on the best traditions- of the VIKING. We are especially pleased with the fine spirit of loyalty and co-operation shown By all the VlKING writers. But this message is addressed also to Barney Chichester and his fine ^*F °*t n e Wn t e r 9«arter. To these individuals belongs the credit for T?"?*"S national recognition for our NORTHWEST VlKING. This achievement is one of which the whole school may well be proud. , To Barney, Harry, Ben, Dolly, Kate, "Bobbie", Myrtle, Sid, Gordon, Carlyle, and the rest of the VlKING gang, not forgetting the neophytes in the newswriting class and to our efficient and helpful printers, Art and Walt, we extend congratulations for their accomplishment. And next year, let's make it first place for the VlKING: —H. E. F. Why did you come to B. S. N. S? To be trained for teaching? Or to get an education? The two year curriculum atjBell-ingham Normal is not designed to give a'broqd liberal education; it is planned to fit the student to teach. There is a oast difference between an education and a training. And in the regular two'year course here only the three orientation courses in English, Science and History and perhaps Ed. 13 conr tribute anything to this broad and liberal knowledge and understanding of life that is supposedly education. No—here you get a training for a Vocation, and when you are graduated, don't go off with the delusion that you have acquired an education just by completing the prescribed course of study. You haven't! THE BLESSJNG OF PAN. By Lorsi Dunsany. Published py~ Q. P. Pujtnam's Sons: New York-London (_19?0). The K^pKerbopker Press. In this quaint, almost mystic story. Lord Dunsany has conceived a most charming fantasy. It is a jtale woven around a; |toy parish in England, which is situated in a region which in past centuries had been dedicated to Druid worship of pagan gods. Many books have been written oil the conflict between the pagan and the Christian, but always with the latter triumphing. Lord Dunsany has, however, in this work, reversed the situation and even transferred the sympathies of the reader to the pagan worship. The author beginsvhis story with the simple parish in which there are only country people. The spirit of Pan has bewitched one of the boys of the parish, who is the first to revert to the old religion. The struggles of the fine old Vicar of Wilding against this inevitable and unrecognized force are almost more than human. He is ,such a good, saintly m»n, ajjd fte strives so ^'ard against this pagan force.'". Ojra4uaJJy $he fn$jrje jW£feJ gt; pf Wolding is charmed away from the church by the pipes of Pap, and worship of a new, or rather more ancient kind, js .set mr hi the enchanted ground of the old Druid priests. At jtast as the Vicar prepares to make a final attempt to combat this pagan force, he, too, is conquered by ,the spell of pan and offers up the bull of sacrifice. Lord Dunsany has a very charming style in presenting his fancies, and his delicacy of expression adds greatly to the fragility of his tales. All his writings are delightful and they generally are of a lighter type. However, in his '*The Blessing of Pan," there is a deeper feeling underneath the pleasant fairy story that is so obvious, and there is that in it that marks Lord Dunsany for more than a philosopher. —C. E. M. AND A WELL-KNOWN MAN ABOUT THE SCHOOL RISES TO DIFFER WITH US. HAIL FRIEND, AND FAREWELL He was a retiring editor, tired of mind and defunct of ideas. He had expended all his new (or what he thought new) ideas over the long period of two quarters, which in reality was actually less than sue months time. •••:. ;And then he retired and left his job to another young hopeful who was, as he had been, brimming full of ideas, new things eager to get out and find expression. This egotistic ex-editor felt that with his resignation the paper would be- unable to exist; that the institution would close its doors and bar its windows. But such was hot the case. The paper took new life, the editorials displayed vim that had long been lacking. Then it was that the ex-editor came to realize that he had been going along blindly and conservatively in the same old rut with no sense of the necessary progress in mind. Resigning was the best thing he had ever done for his paper. Hail friend, arid farewell.—Blah. •——- _p-—:—.

But then—you have seen it by now, and doubtless know more about it than we do. INCENTIVE A great honor has pome to The Northwest Viking in that it has been awarcled fourth place in the national contest in competition with over 400 similar institutions. We, the staff have worked at our job conscientiously. Perhaps we have not always succeeded, but we have tried to cover all pertinent questions and news items which have presented themselves in our school life. But we are not satisfied. The fact that we have won the fourjh place has offered us more incentive anc] we are more determined than ever before to win a higher place among student publications next year. At last a nice long week of vacation. Some of us will go on just as we have been, doing ncjthing. Others of us will welcome it as a much needed rest. GET INTO STEP If we were to take one of the "best models produced"' of automobiles today, place it in a glass cage where no human hand could touch it, and go away and leave it for ten years; if we should return after this time had elapsed, what would we find? We would most assuredly find the same car, but ciphers alone could indicate its worth. During the period no one could possibly have touched it. There could be no lessened worth through handling. The paint would be just as good as new; the rear axle v just as good; and the motor just as good as ever.. :'•'•;. What, then, has happened to the car? People's minds have changed. Today it is hard to forsee what'the automotive industry, or any other industry will be like in the next 25 years. There will certainly be industries of great utility, which now exist only in their formative period, or ;ideas yet unborn. * "Where are those ideas coming from unless from the younger generation?" "Where are those great industries of the future coming from unless vout of the ideas of the younger generation?" .: The job of the older fellows is to help the younger chaps get .the right start,, educate them. Education, we are told, helps get them into a job, but it goes beyond that when they have intelligence. Older people can best Kelp by directing that intelligence into production of useful things. Older minds should not make the mistake of even trying to limit the field of Useful things. The younger generation—-that generation which v: is always coming up—-knows what it wants, and it will get what it Wants. This is wliat makes for change. It brings about improvement in old gt;i things^ and development in new^ things. ^-;;X lt; gt;u can't stop people from being born. Ypu can't stop progress, and ^y^-tan'jt stop change. But you can get in touch with it. I CAME FOR AN EDUCATION ' I came for, and am receiving an education, altho I'm not necessarily training for a teacher. We are presented upon entering this institution three courses in orientation, as above mentioned, but aren't all our courses orientation? Aren't all of our courses based oh Dewey's philosophy? In talks I've had with businessmen, small in the field and large in their judgment of men, and our study in child research we both use similar points to judge in the study of child psychology, in study of the child's' poind. The points we work from in studying the child's mind are the same in an adult study. A teacher must have personality to be a success. What do the courses here do but try to develop a personality? The profession of teaching and also business require these three points in a personality: Intelligence, expression and adaptability. These three points in all our courses are the chief goals. I say if a person is a success as a teacher and puts the same amount of effort into business, he will also be a success in his field of endeavor. ST. PATRICK'S PRATTLE Now, I'll tell you of St. Patrick, in the land where Shamrocks grow— Even though your name's not hanging to a "Mc" or an "O", It seems as he roamed the street, he heard a mournful bawl— Heard not "Kathleen MaVourneen" but "Sweet Adeline," that's all; Every Irishman was singing, except our "Mike and Pat," Whom after dinner speakers laud with, "Ahem! Now it seems that—" St. Patrick eyed the carolers, his voice was deep and gruff, "Begorra, ye've bin seein snakes, jist plenty long enough!1' Then he rounded up these serpents and drove them 'cross the line, Those neighbors didn't like that but the bugs all thought it fine. They ale the Irish gardens then, with little opposition And every colleen lost her looks and happy disposition; Soon potatoes, pigs and Shamrocks were all thai could be grown And St. Patrick's name was hissed, until, he spied the Blarney Stone; As he made the Irish kiss it, they forgot their ---------- Northwest Viking - 1929 March 15 - Page 3 ---------- agl ALL-AMERICAN TEAM FOR'29 SELECTED Snorts Editor «f Collet* Hopflt a*t »W Co»ckes Select Me«- .

" $ V * $ One might guess, from reading the' above, that the National pas-timers are under way. We will admit that such was our intention of conveying to the reader the fact that baseballers are now pastiming on Waldo Field. Baseball is not the only sport occupying the attention of sports fans and athletes.

BiQ^RAERjY This week we have with S? $ chunky lad from the neighboring village of Burlington. His name-but what matters, that? A name means little. This young man came here in the fall of 1927. He played football that fall and- won his sweater. Then in the spring he again won his spurs in baseball. Coming back in the fall of 1928, he acquired his two-stripe sweater in football, though he was hampered by many injuries during the past grid season. This lad may be a small town boy, but he has made his mark at this institution. He has been one of the most consistent-and dependable guards on the Jayvee basketball squad during the past season. The Burlington boy is going to be missed from the diamond squad this spring, not so much for his stellar playing, but for his consistent hitting and steady fielding, and jovial personality. And still you haven't guessed his name. We'll wager that he knows who we mean. He rooms with the writer so all, we can say is his name is Weber, and student teaching next quarter is going to keep him from baseball this. year.

Most campus social events are informal and vary from year to year and quarter to quarter, but there are a certain number of events which are fixed and appear on the social calendar every year. Among these is the all-school snow picnic, held every winter during the month of January in the Menashtash canyon, a few miles from the school. Another is the all-school picnic, held every spring quarter at Swauk canyon in the Wenatchee mountains. Another is, the Snow Ball, given annually during the fall quarter by the women students, as a formal dance. Another formal dance held annually is the Colonial Ball, given by the sophomore class during the winter quarter. The formal for the spring quarter is the Varsity Ball, given by the Crimson W club.

They have been working out all this week, taking advantage of early appearance of Old Sol, and "making hay while the sun shines." They are all out there. Those who run the distance and those who run the shorter runs. Weight men and jumpers are also strutting their stuff to the early season workouts. The need for sprinters is going to be a hard need to fill this year. With two ol^ men ^hat were being depended upon to help out in the short runs, leaving school at the end of this quarter, the material looks a little bit slim. One help toward rounding out a team is the return of one of last year's men, Ray Jewell, who it is expected to return to the Viking fold next quarter. Ray is a real asset to the success of any track squad. He runs the half-quarter, and does the shot-put, and does well in all three of these, events. He is also a valuable relay man. The season holds promise of a well balanced squadj if only Coach Carver can locate a first class sprinter or two to fill the vacancies left open by the loss of Hemmi and Prigg. — o TEACHERS ARE HUMAN "Say, talk about knowing how to be a good loser and realizing that teachers are human — I found all that out just by turning out for sports" We heard this exclamation as we came down the hall. Another quarter of giris' sports has come to an end and from the comments spontaneously given, we know it has been most profitable. During the entire quarter a large number of girls have turned out for basketball, badminton, volley and service ball. The enthusiasm and fine spirit that has prevailed thru-out the season is to be commented upon. One must do his Very best to be '. on the team and the social activities that are connected with the sports program makes this part of the school's program positively com- : plete in a training of good citizenship. .

Who is Mrs. Boots? She is the . pet rabbit who receives her just dues in attention and entertainment among the wee ones in the training school. Twenty-five mothers spent Thursday afternoon visiting in the first grade. Cocoon's frog's legs, and other things in nature to be observed at this time of year, are being studied by the children of the second grade. To see the natural processes actually take place is a privilege few people will avail themselves of, and one which contributes to a liberal Babcock, Naomi Chase, Phyllis Kane, j education for those who do. posa Ott, Rosa Van Ess, Arline One of the interesting activities of the third graders is the making of moving pictures. This industry has been promoted by six companies, some of which will undertake to produce "talkies" too. The mo-iion picture machine consists of Ariand; Madeline Brassfield, Winnifred Bowles, Edna Working and the honor guest, Helen Sheckles. r -; ^r— o—- Transplanting Maple I Ttee Is Accomplished ? Under - thesupervision of Mr. Pack, our gardener, one of the maple trees that border the walk was taken up and moved to a spot near Edens HalL In preparing to move this tree, which is about eight inches in diameter and probably ten feet high, the earth was cut away from around it "Charming!" "So different!" were some of the exclamations heard after the Japanese play. Monday evening in the auditorium. It was given in Japanese costumes and was distinctly Oriental in atmosphere, though most of the entertainment was given in English, which they could both speak beautifully. ., The stage was set with Japanese screens.and the Ongawas first appeared amid soft lights, bowing in typical Oriental fashion. Mr. On-gawa danced the Sword Dance, to which Mrs. Ongawa played the accompaniment on the samisen, a Japanese stringed instrument somewhat resembling a guitar. Stories and Songs Please The story of the Monkey and the Jellyfish brought many a laugh, as did also the monologue, "Upside Down," which described the opposite ways of doing things here and in Japan. As he said, perhaps, after all, we are the ones who do things backwards. The Ancient Love Song, sung in Japanese, did not appeal to Western ears as much as the next song, the Lady Picking Mulberries, which was sung in English and was quite like our own jazz in melody and rhythm;. The accompaniment to .this was played, on the gekkin,, or Japanese moon fiddle, which is played by plucking the strings. Give Group of Folk Dances In the Japanese folk dance, Gen-. rpka Hanni Mi Odori, Mrs. Ongawa was ..the very personification of grace and beauty and sang all her songs with a rich and beautiful voice. This dance is Korean, danced in honor of Spring. The movements of her hands in the Butterfly dance, to simulate the fluttering of butter-flys was a work of art. The comic dance, Okami and Hyotogo, presented to us an example of Oriental vamping. Quite interesting to the feminine part of the audience at least, was the exposition on Japanese fashions in dress which was illustrated by putting on the cloak, silken headdress, the zuki, and clogs, which she laughingly described as overshoes, saying they kept one's feet dry, and up out of the mud, "and your overshoes can do no more than that for you," and raising her wax-paper umbrella, which completed the street attire. She stated that. the keynote of feminine fashions in Japan is simplicity and lady's wardrobe consisted of kimonos and—more.. kimonos..' . Play, The, Fox Woman .'..•. The play, The Fox Woman, completed the rest of the. program. The Fox Woman corresponds to. the witch in Western legends, and about her enchantments on people was woven the story of the play, in which a Japanese farmer is bewitched because he has sought to learn ways to break her enchantments. Very humorous was the incident where Tak-e and Fusa, his wife', see a mirror for the first time, a new invention brought from the city. Finally, by the aid of books of books of ancient learning, Fusa succeeds in breaking the charm which binds her father-in-law and shows by means of the paper lantern and the fan, how to carry "fire in paper wrapped, and wind in paper held,'' and breaks the power of the witch.

Miss Steele will fill the position vacated by Helen Schekles who will- be graduated by-the end of this quarter.: Other house officers elected were Alice Sundquist, vice-president, Win-nifred Bowles, secretary and treasurer; Jane L'Eveque, social chairman, and Edna Working, reporter.

Stiidents: interested ;iu ; a male, chorusi met last Monday afternoon for -the purpose;^fVforming an or^ ganized club. V They will meet for practice twice a week, at ]three o'clock, on Mondays and Wednesdays. About forty students attended the meeting. ' ; ;: "In three or four /weeks the club will be ready to fill engagements/' says Miss Slawsori, director of the newly-formed glee, club; ' J COMMITTEE WILL J ! / SUBMIT FINDINGS! On January 20, the special committee appointed to investigate the advisability of continuing a men's club, * as such, in this school, will submit its report to the men of the school. The points brought out.at the discussion held last quarter, concerning the organization, were in the main, these: 1. The co-operation and interest of every man in school will be expected in the event that the club is reorganized. 2. That there are two hundred men in school, indicates that reorganization should not be difficult. 3. That the men in Normal have many things in common demonstrates the need of a club of the type suggested. The committee report, which' will be made in a men's assembly, will be followed by a general discussion, at which time arguments for and against organization will be brought forth. Napoleon : made ' a prophecy that time has proved correct. "When China moves, she will move the world," he said. Tien Lai Huang, "a noted representative of the modern China," will lecture at the Normal school on the evening of January 19, on a subject^ which has not yet been -announced. It is. planned, if possible, for .him to address a meeting of the Men's Club during assembly hour the next day. -^ Philosopher and Wit - Huang, who is called "a philosopher by virtue of Confucius and a wit by the" grace of God," was scheduled to appear at the school last summer, but was unable to fulfill his engagement. His appearance here is in addition to the regular lecture course sponsored by the school. China is undoubtedly one of the foremost subjects of the world today, and speculations as to the future of the great nation are rampant Avhere-ever the subject is discussed. However, the future of China is not the only subject which demands attention. Her relations to the West are the cause of much discussion and anxiety in many places. T Huang is especially fitted to discuss topics such as these. In the first place, his outlook; is not limited to his own nation. He has an American education, and has served •with many foreign movements. He was "prominent" in the Chinese youth movement, and the revolution of 1911. He has been an officer in the Chinese army, a director of the Chinese'Mass Education movement; was Chinese secretary of the Methodist Board of Foreign Missions, and has been an advisor of the Chinece Good Roads Movement. He was chairman and director of the movement for the promotion of public health, an organizer of Industrial Education in North China, and has been a delegate to the League of-Rations at Geneva." Descendant of Emperor The lecturer traces his ancestry to the first Emperor of China, Huang- Ti. His father and grandfather, who were both prominent Chinese Mandarins and scholars, taught him his nation's philosophy and literature. When a young man he came to America to continue his education, and is a \ graduate of Syracuse and Columbia Universities in the United States, as well as of the University of .Peking. He has a wonderful command of English, seldom equalled by one of his face^ and "in his personality represents the poise and charm of Chinese culture." Appeals Universally Comments of the press and the administrations of the many schools he has addressed reflected 'without exception, a universal appreciation for the quality of his thought and presentation. Said the Minneapolis Evening Tribune, "His address was remarkable and statesmanlike, and gave a huge, audience . . . .'• a new conception of the great question involved in the drama of human history liOw fast u n r o l l e d in the far East." •'•• ':?..'•• Kendric .C. Babcock Dean of the University of Illinois, writes to Mr. -Huang: "I have heard very appreciative comments upon the form and spirit of your address.- In these times of disseminated misinformation, a first hand word from an au^ thority oh Chinese matters, was very rWelcome:";; ••'•'.••\'1'.-.Jv';.-- -•'.-/-. • 'Vv'.:-.; ;V''/'."/"; - . : : ' ..• ..' .'. • J. . ..... , .

Eight numbers are to be rendered by the club as a whole, interspersed with several selections by the Kulshan Male Quartette and by Perdin Ivors-mo, tenor-soloist. The quartette is one which has appeared at the Normal before, and is compdsed of Messrs. Wells, Wheat-on, Harter and Raymond. These gentlemen will give three selections. As the soloist, the club has Mr. Perdin Korsmo, tenor, who is under the tutelage of Mr. Harrison Raymond. Radio fans will recognize Mr. Korsmo as he is on the KVOS staff.

' ••"••.•"' "/ gt;: ';;'-,^:' Seventy-five Grade Changes Upon a further investigation of statistics it was found that the thirty-eight members of the''faculty reporting were forced, because of the absences of students, to lower seventy-five students one grade point m one class enrollment. In interpreting this data it should,be remembered that they cover but a six weeks period. Data for a full quarter would probably be noted that over 96% of the enrollments have less than;three absences,recorded against them, and less than two percent suffered a reduction in grades because of absence. Less than one percent of the enrollments had six or more absences in a single class reported against them. These would be subject to operation of Regulation 2A, which provides for an addition of one credit required for graduation, by action of the attendance committee, for six or more absences. While no exact data is at hand, that of these statistics would seem to indicate that Regulation 2 B, providing for the addition of an hour credit for fifteen absences in all classes, would operate in but a very few cases. It will be remembered that provision is made for the committee to exercise good judgment in the operation of both parts bf Regulation 2. ''..';'• Improvement Shown Under the old system 3.3% of the students were absent, wHle under the new system only 2.6% did not appear in class. These figures are not absolutely authentic, but they are as nearly so as could be ngured out with the present returns. Seven-tenths percent improvement does not seem to be a great deal, but considering the fact that only six weeks were counted it may not indicate the true amount of betterment. The student," reahzmgv that he is being judged for .the quarter on but six weeks attendance, would naturally be a little slack in going to class.

Millard Sutherlen :v;'V.:;//^.:/ :^ -v, Myer Thai / ./•'•''• ,'• Sidney Thai ; CllByiihgKam Normal appears to be on the; threshold of a development -anti expansion program. The oft referred to Library building is the " first'proof of that. It is a contribution to the scholasic life of^the schoolrl Weknow that the next building unit to be constructed will be^a /gyinnasiuiri, arid that a new and permanent athletic field ^ l r s o o n be •built -With the completion of these two plants, the Normal will be in a i position to draw and handle crowds of spectators at athletic, congests. vBut the only drawback will be the problem of getting the people. It is ; a fact readily accepted by all that Normal School athletic contests have practically no drawing power. ; v Somewhere in the dim and distant past the Board of Control anticipated that the school would sometime expand to the extent that student acuities would become many, they made provision for the office of a secretary of the Board of Control with a small monthly salary. lhey further provided that this office should in the future be expanded into ^nat ofGraduate Manager. ^^It seems to the Messenger that the time whe nsuch a step should be taken is not far distant. It is readily admitted that he volume of business and is financial returns would not support or perhaps justify a Graduate Manager now. But the problem as the Messenger sees it, is to create a public that will support athletic activities of the school. 1 his can be done only through persistent and intensive advertising. By keeping before the people of Bellingham the fact that there are gooti athletic teams in the city and, by providing adequate plants in which to stage such events; The latteri we previously stated, is to he taken care of soon The former problem is one which should be faced by the Board^ or Control; with a view to arranging such a course of action as suggested in the near future. ' It is a task, this one of selling Normal School athletics to Bellingham, which is too great for the students alone to do. The past two years have proven that. Besides this, the guiding hand of a capable business .manager would at. present be a great boon to the Students' Association Tt is readily evident to any person who has been connected witn^tne administration of student affairs, that things run in a hit or miss fashion and that supervision and co-ordination between departments is very conspicuous by its absence. We have at present, a rather appalling deficit in the treasury. There is no buying agent for the students. 1 he athletic department buys its equipment, with student funds, in many cases without submitting the bills to the Board of Contro for approval. There ' i s no guiding and restraining head to keep in touch with the various student business managers who handle several thousand dollars a year. ; ' The deficit can be remedied by a strict adherence to a budget system but i t is our opinion that student affairs will never be efficiently handled until a paid capable worker devotes all or part of his time to the job. Student Opinion !;/.'! "There snail be a Student Organizations Council consisting of the secretaries of each separate organiza- .!//' tion in school." Thus, a plan for the retprganization of the Student Organization Council, long laboring under the burden of wrong organiza- V tion, mis-management and mis-guid-ed effort. ^ *a l 1 lt;luar-ter, the •council launched on a definite program of rebuilding, it was congratulated, and many helpful and ' wise suggestions were offered. to -_ those who had in their hands the /!! destinies of this really necessary part ' o f the school government. At that / ^im^ three plans were suggested, one of which was obviously cumbersome ' a n d inefficient, another which would •••:/ give the clubs but remote control ! gt; over their own affairs, in which they, if any, should have the greatest • voice; and a third, which provided ^.Vfor a direct representation by each K;/organization, arid an: administration of the council which gave promise of ^ o u n d construction and sensible, ef- );;;: :ficient: plans for realizing the orig- ::;; inal aims of the council. / r / / ; With^Ehe close of the session held ; -'/Monday evening, we find that the 4* 'ones plan' suggested which could have / / p l a c e d : t h e council on a firm, working /'ft/basis has been rendered useles by £! | //thei; addition of a phrase unthought S|v lt;; of ;^when the plans were introduced. •i'SAThisVphrase" is printed at the begin-lituning ••of ''this article.

Dashing off to an early lead, the Bellingham Normal's Viking eagers trbunced: the strong Heater Glove quintet of Seattle, 28-20, Saturday evening on the Whatcom High school floor. It was the first game of the season for the Norsemen and was featured by fast floor work and close checking on the part of both teams, but with an obvious element of poor ..; shooting also being displayed. Sam Carver's men looked good under fire, displaying great power /which gives big promises to be another successful year and also puts them in line as strong candidates for another; Tri-Normal championship. Checking Good Throughout the contest both teams checked closely, displaying a fine floor work and defensive play, but had hard luck at finding the basket. Neither team was able to locate the hoop very consistently, as a result there was little outstanding individual playing. The • ;Vikings opened with Harry Benson, guard, dropping in itwo beautiful long shots from the middle of the floor, closely followed by Earl "Keppy" Kepiinger, Viking's flashy forward, who scored two difficult overhand shots in rapid succession. The Seattle City League leaders started their scoring with a free throw from the foul line and a field goal., diet Duett was playing a good game at center and was the visitor's only man who was able to locate the hoop more than once throughout the contest. McClurken registered twice and Jewell once for the Normalites before the half which ended with the Vikings on the long end of a 15 to 8 score. - Heater Glove Rally Rallying in the last half, the Seattle quintet began to threaten seriously the early lead of the Vikings, cutting down the lead to three points before the hill toppers went on another scoring spree, led by Kepiinger, and" piled up. a suffiicent margin which was never again threatened by the Glovemen. When the final gun ended, the fray the score stood 28-20 giving the visitors their first defeat of the season. "Kep" High Point Man •.'•.-'•..Earl Kepiinger was high point man with 12 markers to his credit. McClurken and. Jewell were next for the winners with five each. Although down in the scoring department, Thorsen played a good defensive .game. ^ / ' : Chet Duett, former University of Washington player ran second in points;garnering 9 markers. •';, Although '.the Vikings looked good and displayed great possibilities, their passing and shooting needs to be polished up considerably before they can fstart their regular schedule in :proper form.. •l:\vThe line-ups— • -••• ^-'••;''..• !^ Ah1 undefeated Co-op quintet; leadersofVttie intra-Mural league, took possession" of^the league, gym last Wednesday afternoon to play in the last game of the first half; of the league. A sad, dejected, beaten Co-op quintet, now tied for first place, walked off thefloor that same afternoon after having lost, by the close scojetof 15: to 18, to a rising success-. ful Vanadis Bragi team. The Co-op's, breaking away to an early lead, started a scoring campaign that saw them in the lead when the time-keeper ended the first canto. The Vanadis' Bragi organization was not to be denied, so "their team, during the second period, rolled up 14 counts while the opposition made but 9. The spectators came, expecting to see another victory claimed by the league leaders. They^ went away happy as the unexpected had happened causing some excitement. • "Cal" Moser, playing center for the Vanadis Bragi, played a commendable game by ringing up six points and by holding Boy Arnett down to two scores. Duncan and Hamilton, scoring four and six points each respectively, accounted for a great deal of of the remarkable offensive and defensive playing employed by the club cagers. The Co-ops played well together, and they played hard, but they seemed to lack the scoring ability that was prevalent in some of their past conflicts. Kieth, forward for the losing five, was high, point man of the game with eight scores to his credit. Because of the tie for first place, it will be necessary 'for.-'these two teams to fight it out on some future date. The winner of that contest, then, will be eligible to play the winner of the second half of the Intramural league. Other Games This Week On Monday, the Scotchmen lost to the strong Vanadis Bragi team and the Frish lost to the Low Stars.. The Scotchmen-Vanadis Bragi conflict was one of the most remarkable exhibitions of poor playing ever presented in the little gym. Twenty-two personal fouls were called on the men playing for the losing five. Johnson Was the only man that played a good game in the entire contest. The Frosh-Low Star game was the better of the two contests played Monday. The Frosh lost because of their inability to shoot fouls, evidently because they made but six out of twenty-one possible foul shots. Burns played a nice game, but was forced out of the argument before the end of the first half. - O Lt formal 28 ..Harper';'„;;„.„ Kepiinger, 12 Thorsen ....;„ : Jew£lV;5j;....„.

Tennis Technique is Organized for Spring Quarter SHELL OILERS AND To learn the teaching technique of tennis so that women beginners in the spring may be cared for, a tennis class has been organized under the supervision of Miiss Bertha Keller; '•Tennis for Women", by Lou E. Anderson, of the University of Washington, is the text that will be used. This is a two quarter course for which one credit will be given at the end of the spring quarter. The class will' meet at 11:0'0 each Thursday this quarter when the girls will learn how to teach the subject. Next quarter the same group will register for the course 'and will meet three times a week, twice for actual teach-in** on the courts' and once with Miss Keller to check on their progress. ( The class met for the first time yesterday in the large gymnasium. Those who signed for the course are: Beatrice Johnson, Arlene Johansen, Vera Ginnette, Lucile Austin, Alice Sundquist, and Thelma Borgen.

At the half period the Redskins had a five point lead, but the Lynden boys came back in the third quarter, and, at the end of the canto, led the procession 11 to 10. The pace was too fast for the Buttermakers, and McBeath and Moen registered from the field to put Whatcom into a final lead. The Blaine high hoopsters swamped Mount Baker Union high 33 to 16. The border squad showed ability to connect with the basket, and a defense which puzzled the Deming forwards. Fairhayen walked over the Fern-dale quintet to the tune of 64 to 6, showing a good .scoring offense in Chatterton gt; Halbert and Hazen. Chatterton scored a total of,twenty markers for high point honors.

The first of these was the race problem and its bearing on missionary work, second, she named the World War and its influence on missionary work, and third, denominationalism in missions, and fourth, the new types of missions and missionaries. No effort was made to come to a definite conclusion with any topic, the aim being mainly to arouse a consciousness of its existence in the minds of the people but to let them come to then-own- conclusions and work out their own solutions. Filipino Viewpoint "While at the convention I met a great number of Philippine students and missionaries from the Philippine Islands," Grace said. "As the subject is of common interest around school at this time as a debate question I was curious to know how they felt towards the possibilities • of the "United; States granting them independence. They seemed to be of the opinion that the Philippines are ready for independence and that the Philippines are losing their respect for the United States because of our not granting it. It is on account of the big rubber plantations in the Philippines that the United States - is holding them today, they declared. This is the Filipino's view of the question. While ait the convention we had the honor of hearing some of the greatest lecturers, and speakers of the world. I liked best Professor ,Fancis Wei, one of the leading Christian men of China, and educator of the first rank. Miss Mildred Welch, an American missionary to China, was also a very interesting speaker. In connection with sending armed forces to China she said, "If you are going to send gunboats and missionaries to China, send them on different ships, as the Chinese might get them mixed." Other interesting speakers at the convention were: Henry T. Hodgkin, Norman Taylor, and Sherwood Eddy, and many other notable speayers. Miss Lyttle was very muck pleased with the way the convention was conducted and said she would like to attend again. The matter of picture for the Klip-sun was discussed and decided upon by the-members. • „ Oren^Tarbox and Margaret Hill tried out for membership in the club. •Edwin Benedict ..president; of the Gavel and Pulpit club, stated that he was much pleased with the work of the cliib and urged the members to be a little more active in club affairs. Cinderella Given Training School Third An informal party in the club room of Edens Hall is being given Friday evening February 13th, by the Y: W. C.

Interesting plans for the affair are ';going on daily. • \ This vmorriihg,f in the regularvas^ sembly. ^of ythe: training school,; the third A grade,. Miss;; Pearl':-Cosgrove, training'•; teacher^^presented three plays. They were, y "Cmderella"; ^'Baucisi anayPhilemon'^ and "Viking Tales." 'The;presentation was;" the culmination/of'variedEfforts wliich date to a month before Christmas. : - Reading the stories or plays in books left in classrooms for their enjoyment, the students attempted to. enact the tales during noon hours, and later, when a mothers' meeting was held, requested permission, which was granted, to present the plays before their parents. At this time they selected their own characters and parts. .-'" . ;-- y '••"".. Requested to Give Plays When requested by the "training school administration to prepare a program, for a regular assembly, the class decided to use these plays, and so wrote the, parts," and, with the aid of the art, department, created shields, gt;helmets, costumes, and scenery.- The work, which has brought in many diffenent subjects of school wark, has resulted in learning without and disagreeable drudgery. Miss Cosgrove cited oral and written language work, and industrial and fine arts as those subjects involved most in the work of the class. Efforts Beneficial. When asked concerning the benefits of such endeavors, Miss Cosgrave enumerated co-operation, initiative, organization, and the resulting joy of accomplishment as the greatest results, saying, "I.think co-operation is the biggest thing that has come out of the effort. At the beginning each child wanted his own way, but was glad later to compromise. Organization comes next, while the joy of the whole thing has certainly been worth while." — o • Thirty-Two Counties, Several States Have Students at Normal vS3 their ;rfirst^mteeting -^of ;^iu^!^yrpo^^ qiiartery W e d ^ following i;;; officers; ^' were^elected;: P^sideht Ld^(^:Silvola;^:sW man, ^Jenniey• Saboleski;?: reporter^ ^nez Saari. :yAiter^th^ adjourned: teayWas.;served ;"byv ; Mrs. 'Barrett., gt;. y gt;. y •; ^^v"-; ; i - -y y' •••' •:, • Johanna - Rockstad and Margaret Twiss visited at; their; y respective homes ..in Burlington 'and rLynden over the: week-end. .

The place this year is El-lensburg. The Vikings are a favorite to cop two of the three meets, namely, track and tennis, but baseball is • likely to T gt;e a Cheney story. The tennis men have never in history lost possession of the titular flag. Track has been a Viking success for the past three years: baseball has usually fallen to the Viking lot, although Cheney copped it in 3926. The tennis team composed of Thai, "Fisher and Bond, is doped to cop i t s matches but not without strong opposition. The events will be run off Saturday morning. Baseball Outlook Tough With the loss of Wingard on the mound, the Viking nine looked in a tough way, but when Smith, star back-stop quit school and left the receiving berth open, things looked tougher yet. Clarke will be taken from his usual outfield position and will be used behind the plate. Ron Johnson's ineligibility leaves another liole to plug up. The present outfield as figured on by coach Carver, will consist of Iverson, Hamilton, and Bailey. The infield will % remain as in the St. Martin game. Track Chances Good ' The chances for a Viking victory in the track and field events seem unusually good, especially after the good showing made against the University of Washington Frosh. Two meets are held every year before the Tri-Normal. . The College of Puget Sound furnished the first real test for the Vikings, nosing them out by a, close score. The Frosh won by a wide margin but were pressed close in every event. From these two meets a fairly good idea of the strength possessed by the Xormalites 5s had. Dope seems to point out that the Tri-Normal track will not be a walkaway, but a close victory seems likely. Ray Jewell, if going good, should walk off with high point honors, taking first places in ';the shot, 440 and 880-yard runs and a point -and a.fourth in the relay. Figuring it by places,- Bellingham should have six firsts; Cheney and 'Ellensburg each four. Five second places figure in the Viking's favor, with three going to Cheney, and six. to Ellensburg. The third places show Bel; lingham three, Cheney six, and Ellensburg five. This would make the final result be a five or ten-point victory—just about as close as it can comfortably be. The men. and the events they will enter, are: • • Hemmi and Cox, 100 and 220-yard dashes. Jewell, Gallenger, and Axelson, 440-yard dash. Jewell, Gallanger, 880-yard run. N. Bright and Brinkman, mile.

Years Of Service Make Duties Of Co-op to Students Manifold Strange Duties of a Bookstore Make Co-op Stringer of Tennis Racquets and Finisher of Kodak Films. Its Twenty-year-old Watchword, Tradition, Service (By VERNON V. VINE) Two men, having each led long and abundant lives and having reached the end of the trail, lay in miraculously white beds, side by side, in a city hospital. It was the ward where those about to die were placed. One was delirious when just before he passed over into that which is not of this, while the other, knowing his end was near, was thinking of his youth. . • , , 4,0 . ,, , i • The delirious one murmured in a tone of despair, bervice, and his tone, though weak, carried the pathos of an unanswered cry and the fervor of a dying request. ...... t , • i j i_ The man in the bed beside him, still thinking of his youth, and hearing the cry, but not knowing whence it came, replied reproachfully, ^o to the Co-op!" Equipment Inspected at Biological Station The equipment for the new science laboratory which is now under construction at-Friday Harborjya^ inspected by Miss Leona Suridquist, of the Normal science department, and Miss Pearl Merriman, teacher of the- third grade of the training school, last week-end. The new laboratory is being built on the same plans as those used by the University. It is thought that the building will be ready for use sometime next quarter. Miss Sundquist and Miss Merriman report that the surroundings of the Biological Station are particularly pleasant and interesting just now. •Spring has fully come and the development of plant and animal life is at its height. There are those who feel that it is unnecessary to die to discover that the Co-op is a place of service. When a person achieves the age of twenty, his prospectus is long years of service yet to come, with the peak to be reached when life has been good and experience rich. But when the Go-op is twenty, as it is^ now, it has a long past of service which have been good and experiences which have been rich. It also, however, looks to the future as does the person who is yet to reach his majority. ' ' "Service!" is the universal cry. Demands arc put for this, for that, with the admonition to "Step on it! flurry it up,! We want it right now!" "My students have purchased all of the textbooks you have on this subject?" the instructor cries. "But 1 have a larger class now than ever before! My pupils are in desperate need of those books!

Me! That things should come to this. (Editor's Note: The reporter responsible for this dances like an ox). * And intelligence, what of that? Hell! Heh! Banked .very low,in most lists, and in no small number omitted completely. Money and a car seem to be in universal demand and. about half of the girls specified that their, ideal husband must have a future, while the remainder expressed a desire for a man with a' past. The majority of those interviewed want their man to be interesting and tto be able to wear clothes, but there* were a few who seemed to think these things - undesirable, holding that. they, would make the man hard to keep. There was a small demand for the athletic type, .but little or none for the good-looking or downright handsome man. Almost all, however, declared themselves for tallness, and darkness (Naomi Smith specifying as an after-thought, . that the man must be white). That womankind is frivolous has by many been considered well nigh axiomatic. This belief is certainly not exploded by the facts unearthed in this series of interviews. Such trivialities as curliness or straight-ness of hair, color of eyes, and length of eyelashes, were given important places in most of the lists of qualifications for an ideal husband. Oddly enough, the biggest split in opinion among those interviewed was over the matter of morality. It must remain an open question- as to whether the Normal woman wishes good, bad, or indifferent morals in her spouse,': all varieties of preference, having been, indicated. "It" was not in very great favor thb several wonieii mentioned "it." Y TO BALLOT ON THREE L Students Asked to Give Opinions on Three Problems Which Are Being Discussed in Colleges. (Continued on Page Four) " QUESTIONS EXPLAINED Value of Scholastic and Athletic Activities Is Compared. Opinion of Student Body Is Requested. (By VERNON V. VINE) Because of the rapidly approaching end of the quarter and the pressing duties coincident thereto, it has been deemed\best by the Messenger staff to combine in one article the two questions which were to have been asked in two successive weeks, and to distribute the ballots asking for the replies to the last three questions at the same time. The results of the first question were quite gratifying to the Messenger editorial board, not only in the actual answers but in the number of replies whicli were submitted. Two Questions Two questions perhaps more than any others have been facing college bodies throughout the country. In schools where there are Phi Beta Kappa chapters one of these questions assumes serious proportions, for humorous campus and non-campus publications have seen in the scholastic honorary a legitimate butt for a great many of the so-called "collegiate jokes." The question was asked recently at Yale, and took this form: "Whicli is more valuable, a Phi Beta key or a Yale football Y?" Despite the disparagment which college humorists have cast upon the little gold medalion, it proved to be the choice of the majority of students, and Yale, in the parlance of today, is "Collegiate". Despite the result in this, one of the foremost schools of the land, there are those who still doubt the facts. Athletics or Scholarship? The question to be asked of the student body here, is somewhat different in form, due to the absence of any honorary scholastic body. Therefore, the question is stated. "Whicli is to be more prized, awards for athletics or for scholarshipV" The question, unlike some published earlier in the month, needs no explanation. It resolves itself into a simple case of weighing the comparative values in one's mind and the weight which each will carry with those outside of the school. The. second question, closely allied to the one just asked, is this: "Are athletics given a place, higher in the estimation of tins students than they deserve, or should non-athletic activities receive greater stress? Explained This inquiry does not deal with scholarship, but. rather with such things as debate, journalism and other similar activities. Should the football captain receive more praise than the captain of the .debate, squad, both of them devoting equal number of hours, to the respective work? is not the editor of the school paper entitled to as high a place in the minds of the students as the star basketball ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1928 May 18 - Page 2 ---------- x y ^ T N C T ^ -Pablished by Students' Association of State Normal School, Bellingham, Washington ' /Eatered; in the" Postoffice at Bellingham, Washington," as second class matter.

As was brought out in the all-school forum early in the quarter, when the attendance system was up for discussion, many students objected to it because of its ruling that all absences from class, for any cause whatsoever, would affect final grades. The fundamental assumption of the system, as Dr. Salisbury pointed out—that class attendance is necessary to the understanding of a course, and that nothing can be substituted for it^—was not touched. But the students almost unanimously thought it unfair that their fellows who could not attend classes because of illness, or because of athletic trips at the school's request certainly should not be penalized as usual. At Iast-the change has been made, and we see the first tangible result of an all-school forum. Faculty members and students discussed, a common problem openly, with the result that a better understanding of it was reached by both groups. And in this case, the student group, strange to say, proved to be in the right, and won its point—all because of the forum.discussion. In changing its stand—that the regulations should always be applicable, with no exceptions granted—to a more human one, the faculty undoubtedly saw the student viewpoint. The last straw, we understand, came when it was found that numerous students sick and really unfit to -attend school, were doing so simply that their grades might not suffer. Without questioning the wisdom of such acts, the fact remained that sick students were attending school, and would continue to do so. So the attendance regulations which went into effect last fall quarter, providing that all class absences should be "punished" by a reduction in student grade points, were modified. As the situation now stands, absences because of illness, when properly reported, and absences at the request of the school—on\athletic trips, debate trips, student conferences, and so on—shall not be counted when grades are being considered. Yet it is still true that those who are so absent will miss something vital; but the penalty is not iron-clad—work may be made up by additional effort. There may still remain some objections to certain points of the attendance system, such as the "double penalty" the- Messenger has spoken of before, but we believe that these are far from prevalent among students of this institution. The result is, that We have a fair, effective system. And partly because of a school forum. Now, will we hear additional criticism? We doubt it. For we are growing. HOW WOULD W E COMPARE W I T H YALE "Seniors in Yale College, according to preferences indicated in the annual class vote, prefer a Phi Beta Kappa key to the " Y " earned in major sports, like Harvard next best to Yale, consider Lindbrgh and -Mussolini the outstanding world figures of the day, and Lindbergh the man now living they most admire. They also believe that prohibition has harmed college life, that English is the most valuable subject, and psychology the least valuable, and they are opposed to splitting the college into smaller units. "Seniors in the Sheffield School voted Lindbergh their favorite world figure, a major "Y" more desirable than Sigma X , and Princeton their favorite college next to Yale. Their favorite in fiction is d'Artagnan; in history, Napoleon; among hovels, Tom Jones; among prose authors, Thomas Hardy; among poems, If; and among poets, Kipling. "These were only a few a very few, of the matters on which the .seniors declared themselves." The above, from the New Student Service, certainly seems to be a good indication that college students are perhaps after all just a little bit serious-minded, and are more than the cigarette-and-gin-type played up so sensationally by the press. It would be interesting to see how we at Bellingham Normal would compare with Yale students on similar subjects. By MIRE Representative from Bellingham Normal Will Attend Conference That Bellingham State Normal will have a representative at the Northwest session of The* Institute of International Relations is now virtually assured, according to unau-thenticated advices purporting to originated in the Social Science department. The Institute of International Relations is holding a meeting in the Northwest for the first , time in its history, and students of International Affairs living in this region will welcome the opportunity to attend. The 'University of Washington is said to be responsible for bringing the conference to the Northwest, and all meetings will be held on the college campus, during the week of July 22-27. The officers of the Institute of International Relations number many ; distinguished men, among them Ru-fus B. Von Kleinsmid, President of the University of Southern California; K. C. Leebrick, Professor of International Affairs at the University of Hawaii, and Charles E. Martin, Dean of Social Science Faculty/University .of Washington, while Dr. M. Lyle; Spencer, President of the University of Washington,; and ;other celebrities are among the members ifbfwits"- advisory board. ' I5* Lecturers-^ tice Taft, Mr. Charles Evans Hughes, George W. Wickersham, Henry M. Robinson, Arnold Bennett Hall, Nicholas Murray Butler, Herbert Hoover and a great many others, representing the world's foremost authority on international problems. Representatives f r o m organizations and educational^ institutions from all over the world are expected to attend, and Miss Nora B. Cummins is alleged to have remarked that it is not meant that Bellingham State Normal be unrepresented. ' A student will be„v chosen from among the leaders «of the school to attend, the conference in behalf of the Normal School, it is said, and all or part of the.envoy's expenses defrayed, either by the -Student's association or by popular subscription. That the near proximity of this distinguished convention is an event, the importance of' which no student of Bellingham State Normal can afford to overlook is a sentiment that has been attributed to Mr. Arntzen, of the History department, by hallway rumor. . Certain it is, that this Northwest Session of the Institute of International Relations cannot, but make itself felt in Normal school intellectual life. \ ^: v v .

Clark to Replace Smith. THORLAKSON TO PITCH First Game Friday Afternoon. Final Series will be Played Here the Folowing Week-end. l)ark shadows have been cast over the Viking's hopes of again capturing the Tri-Normal baseball title as a result of ineligibilities among several of the regulars, who were scheduled to make the trip to Ellensburg, where the Bellingham Noruialites will meet the Cheney horsehide chasers in a three game series, which will be one of the features of the two-day athletic meet, which is scheduled for Friday and Saturday of this week. Though not deciding the Tri-Normal title, this series will- be determining factor in who will capture this year's championship. The deciding series of'the year will be played here, between the .Vikings and Ellensburg, the following week-end, which will decide who will capture this year's baseball pennant. Johnson and Smith Ineligible Smith, the liilltopper's sturdy back-stop has left school. His loss will be difficult to overcome in so short a time. Smith played a nice back plate game and batted well over three hundred. It is probable that Clarke will be called in from his centerfield berth to replace him. Johnson, Viking left-fielder and a pitcher's dread, will also be unable to make the trip on account of his grades. His absence will also be ..seriously felt in the Blue and-White lineup. First Game, Friday The first game will be played Friday afternoon while the second comes Satin-day morning. In case the teams split the games one up, a third game will be played Saturday afternoon, but in. case one team takes both the previous games, the third will not be played. Altho Cheney has lost two games to Ellensburg already this, season, there has been no advance dope as to who will win the series. If Cheney captures the series then Ellensburg will have the inside edge to take this year's flag, but in case the Vikings are victorious the deciding series will be played here May 25 and 26. _ Therlakson To Pitch "Granny" Thorlakson will probably be called upon to pitch off the games against Cheney with skipper Zeke McClurken, ready to assume mound duties any time that he need be called upon. The men that are making the trip are: McClurken, Thorlakson, Clarke, Thorsen, Odell, Webber, Iverson, Parker, Bailey, and Coach Earl Jewell.

He likes these collegiate university women... According to a reliable report we learned that he more or less detained the boys while he enjoyed the campus scenery. The only thing that marred the trip for Roy was that he bumped his crazy-bone. That is why he has been forced to comb his hair so far down over his left ear lately.

The score would indicate. a complete drubbing for the Vikings but such was not the case, as all events were hotly contested and very close. The Normalites placed in every event except the high jump. The relay was Avon on default by the yearlings as Carver didn't want to overwork.his men with the Tri- Normal meet only four days away.

Hale and Gudmundson formed the battery for the Bragi, while Jewell and McCartin performed for their rival clubmen. The first inning went scoreless for either team, but the second found the Philos with a four run lead. The Vanadis Bragi came back in their half of the third and chalked up four runs to tie the score, but their opponents could not be outdone and tallied a run in their half of the third. In the last inning the Philos scored two more runs and had a 3-run lead. The V. B.'s came to bat with this handicap to overcome. Two runs were chalked up but the tying run was caught out a t the plate by inches. In one of the closest games played in the intra-mural league this season the Normal Drug downed the Thompson's Independents 5 to 4, Tuesday afternoon.- The game was featured by, spectacular hitting and good all-round baseball. "Bud" Johnson, Thompson's hurl-ino- ace hit a homerun in the second inning of the game with two on the bases. The hit was a pretty long drive going over the left fielder's head and rolling back to the grandstand. The batteries for the Normal Drug for Tuesday evening's game were Lundberg and Iverson, while Johnson and Turnball formed the battery for the losers. As a result of Thursday's game the Normal Drug and Vanadis Bragi are resting in second place in the league standing with three wins and one defeat.

It will give the students an opportunity to participate in a recital; it will allow outsiders what the classes are studying and the results of such study; and the proceeds will be added to the accumulating funds for the purchasing of Viqueen Lodge on Sinclair island.

XXDC-^NO. 38 WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Friday, April 18, \930j - * SCHOOL DEBTS CIRCUMFERENCE EDUCATION and HAPPINESS | AND YE DIARY J I —Bob Walters President Will Take . Part In .Conference At Madison, Wisconsin Hats off to various school offi-cials, both student and otherwise, who in the last year have considerably changed the debt situation. Several of the departments have "been taken "out of the fire and into the kettle", while other debts have been materially reduced. —W. S. N. S.——r And not to show any partiality, - but everyone likes to ..brag about that which is closest to "home", we compliment our present Business Manager. In a little longer than three quarters, he has changed the thousand and some odd dollar debt t o three hundred and forty-two dollars on the other side of the ledger. W. S. N. S. Quite often outsiders play on the local tennis courts. As long as there is room, no harm is done, but Normal students waiting to get on have a perfect right to ask any others to ..^vacate immediately. W. S. N. S. Dr. Harry V. Masters, of the Research Department, while doing graduate work at Iowa, worked with another person on a spelling project... They., found., approximately 450,000,000 ways of spelling the word "circumference." Each iof these words it can be pronounced phonetically correct. Hence, there is no reason for misspelling that -word .from now on. W. S. N. S. — We just finished browsing through .an interesting pamphlet entitled "What the Colleges Are Doing'... It i s published by Ginn and Company, and contains various articles on college, picked at random. Two were particularly interesting to us. W. S. N. S. The first told of the writer having •over a thousand acquaintances. Out of these a dozen were happy, and over half of the happy ones had Jiever gone as far as high school. In , other words, education to him does not bring happiness. —W. S. N. S. The other gave "Ten Marks of an Educated Man", as follows: He keeps his mind open on all questions until the evidence is in. He listens to the man he knows. He never laughs at new iedas. He cross-examines his day-dreams. He knows his strong point and plays it. He knows the value of good habits and how to form them. He knows when not to think and when to call in the expert to think for him. You can't sell him magic. He lives the forward, outward looking life. He cultivates a love of the beautiful. W. S. N. S . - . ' I n a letter published this week, an Easterner calls attention to the condition of our lawn and the absence of "Keep Off Grass" signs. We have heard from many sources that, although much is said regarding the negligence of Normalites, still the walking on the grass is comparatively minus. •— o- NEW CASH1 SYSTEM PROVES SUCCESSFUL The new ruling at the cafeteria which bans charge accounts has proven a success. Beginning Monday, the first day of the spring quarter, the system of "cash only" was established. This was found necessary because of the time expended in keeping books for the many small amounts charged. Miss Countryman reports that there has been no decrease in the number of students lunching at the cafeteria, and that .not one has asked for a charge since the ruling, went into effect. She considers this a commendable attitude of co-operation on the part of • the student ••.body..-. .,'"•."' -.:',';•-iThe. staff of the cafeteria workers 'will remain the same%as last quarter, with the addition of Virginia i^Black;: who is takmgCthe place of ^Eiose ;Baskett. Pres. C. H. Fisher left for the East this week to take part in a conference of the faculties of the Wisconsin State Teachers College. This conference will be held at Madison, Wisconsin, on April 21 and 22. Thisf conference is held once in two years and includes all the teachers of the ten teacher-training institutions in the state. President Fisher will meet with the presidents of the teachers' colleges for a discussion of administrative problems. He will also meet with librarians on the functions of a library in teacher training institutions. At the general session of all the members of the conference, President Fisher is on the program to discuss the subject: "The Reconstruction of Curricula in Teacher Training Institutions with a Generous Provision for a Liberal Education, Especially in the Early Years." o _ F, MEN'S ORGANIZATION IN OBTAINING ROOM Club Room Becomes a Reality By Faculty's Unanimous Vote At Tuesday's Special Meeting. FURNITURE INCLUDED Formal Dedication To Take Place Monday, at 13:30, Dean Marquis Acting As Master of Ceremonies. SEATTLE MUSICIANS TO PLAY TUESDAY DURING ASSEMBLY Alice Williams Sherman, Elizabeth Reeves, and Hazel Hammer Hill Members of Widely-Known Trio. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Tuesday morning, April 22, the regular assembly hour will be devoted to a musical program by the Musical Artist Trio of Seattle. This trio is composed of well known musicians who have received nationwide recognition for their ability as ensemble artists. Alice Williams Sherman, violinist, is a favorite with audiences wherever she appears. Elizabeth Reeves, .violoncellist, is an artist pupil of George Kirschner, Hazel Hammer Hill, pianist, is widely , known throughout the Northwest as a pianist and teacher. The trio comes highly recommended, and as their repertoire includes selections from the classics and the modern composers, as well as shorter compositions, the program should please the entire audience. No longer will the men of the school have to wander around like the man without a country, nor will they have to be bothered with women listening in on their conversations, nor will they have to lean against the walls or hit for one of the nearby lunch abodes for privacy, for they now have a room all their own. After seeking a room since early last quarter, the Men's Club sent a committeee to confer with President Fisher in regards to getting a room. At last Tuesday's Faculty meeting President Fisher brought up the question. It was decided that the Faculty room just across from the registrar's office, or otherwise designated as Room 112, should be given to the men. On Tuesday of next week at 12:30, there will be held in the main hall, the dedication ceremonies of the Club Room. Dean Marquis will be the speaker of the hour and music v/ill be furnished by the Pep Club band. All students are invited to attend. "As this is an event of the hour for the men," Charles Dewey, president of the Men's Club, says, "I wish to extend to those who made this possible, the gratitude and co-operation of the men's organization." LEAGUE ELECTION HELD THIS MORNING Interest in Election Slow to Develop, Gained Momentum As Time for Balloting Arrived. Thirty-Eight Students Feel Committee's Axe Thirty-eight students felt a pang of regret this week as the sharp' axe of the Attendance Committee cut deeply into their meagre store of credits. Thirty-one unfortunates were cut one credit; six were cut two credits, and one poor student lost three hours when his record came under the^committee's blade. These people were held victims of their own conduct and were punished by the law of the school which might to be said to state, "For fifteen absences from all classes the credit supply of a student will have sliced from it one- hour of credit, etc." According to committee mem-4 bers, the guillotine will be rolled out and set up again next quarter. -—:—•—o- —" MAD AUTO RUNS WILD; DENTS TEACHER'S CAR A little excitement was added to the atmosphere last Sunday evening when a restless Dodge car, belonging to a James Moody, and anchored i n f front o f Ragan Hall, slipped from its moorings and aimlessly drifted down the hill. It struck a reef in the form of Miss Karigley's Star car, which was at the time parked in front of Buss-ing's. Both cars were damaged, Miss Kangley's car getting the worse treatment. As both of the cars were unoccupied, no one was hurt. The accident called to mind the well-remembered one of several years back when Milton Field, a Normal student; was permanently injured by a runaway auto. Both of the accidents occurred in the same locality.;'..;' , \ V "';/;-; gt;;••;:? [• ;,!;': WOMEN'S LEAGUE ELECTION The Women's League election, which was to be held this morning has excited interest among the girls of the school, during the latter part of the week, although the nominations were slow in being made. Those whose names were certain of appearing on the ballots were Jenny Berg, nominated for president; Louise Smith and Lovia Wei-ger, for vice-president; Aileen Hurl-burt and Marion Marchand for secretary, and Esther Nordquist for treasurer. o_ ' DEBATE SCHEDULED Lyle Summers and Ray Craft will meet the University of Washington freshman debate team in an exhibition debate before Everett High school on April 25. They will uphold the affirmative and use the cross-question type, in which a speaker from each side cross-examines a speaker of the other side. o CALENDAR TODAY— 4 p. m., Rec Hour.

RARE SCARECROW FOR JAYWALKERS A scientific expedition composed presumably of Normal students, left the campus early Tuesday evening in search of a rare specimen of 'bird. They, with the aid of a little salt, were able to cage this strange animal. It falls under the owl classification, but is white in color.' The personnel of the.expedition realize the policing qualities of this strange winged object, and likewise realized the trouble the grounds committee is having with "jaywalkers." Consequently, they turned it loose on the lawn between Edens Hall and the Administration Building.

Once again the school has felt the hush just after the voting. W e hope that the best person received the most votes this morning. And jhat those who join the club of defeated candidates won't feel embarrassed for it is a compliment even to be placed on the ballot. It shows that the per-son is somewhat outstanding and that he has friends pulling for him Once again we willsee the election fade away, but the elected will remain before the eyes of the school for some time to com. , LYLE SUMMERS The student body will be fortunate if it succeeds this morning m elevating to the position of student body president a student who will serve as faithfully and as well as has Lyle Summers, during the past four quarters. .. Mr. Summers, during his tenure of office, has been unusually successful in interpreting the opinion of the student body, and m giving the people of the school the kind of an administration which they expected of The handling of student affairs and the working out of difficulties which arise during the school year requires more patience and ability than may be apparent, and Mr. Summers should be congratulated on the straightforward, efficient manner in which his office has been executed. ——o— — V I K I N G SCOOPED The • Northwest Viking was scooped this week by no less a newspaper than the Bellingham Herald. A Herald representative, right under the noses of our Viking reporters, learned the story of "Laddie Boy's Faithfulness," and made an excellent feature story out of it. The Herald was kind enough, however, to allow us to use their cut. We appreciate the courtesy of the Herald in allowing us^ to use material of this kind. We trust, however, that the next "scoop" that is made will be he other way around. o ^ C A F E T E R I A BREAKFASTS A student opinion under the signature of J. W. brought up an issue last week which should receive the consideration of all of the people who take their meals at Edens Hall. N A n investigation reveals that between one-third and one-half of the people who eat at the school dormitory pay four dollars a month for the privilege of checking "Breakfast, Edens Hall" on the registration slip, which is necessary, by the way, if one is to be enrolled as a student in good standing. Whereas from twenty-four to twenty-five tables are set for the noon and evening meals, only thirteen or fourteen are required to accommodate the breakfasting students. The inference, obviously, is that a large minority of the dormitory boarders either go without breakfast or buy their morning meal at one of the local lunch counters. As pointed out in J. W.'s article, the main objection to breakfast at the dormitory is this, that the hour of serving, 7:15, "is too early for many people who do not have 8 o'clock classes, and to whom the dormitory is not easily accessible. J. W. proposes that breakfast be served in cafeteria style from 7:15 to 8:30. The Viking believes that Normal students, to enjoy good health, Well, here y'are, studes. Oy, yoy! 'tis a miserable night; As we scribble this the wind hisses round the corner in careless, dismal sighs, and the rain drips from the eaves in dreamy monotony. A miserable night, and it matches our mood exactly, but then we should worry. It'd certainly be a tired old world if the sun shone all the time; and also, the thought of a life that is nothing but happiness from beginning to end is, to us, almost tragic in its suggestion of mental poverty. * » * GREAT MINDS RUN IN" THE SAME CHANNELS—AS DO SMALL ONES. *. * * POME (Unfinished) leaves are sprouting fast and thick Upon the trees.

QUOTATION '•Well, just from lookin' around and observing things, I've come to the conclusion that what I have often heard the women say is right. These men are the bunk! I have absolutely no use for 'em! My opinion of men is pretty darn low! If I was a woman, now, I would ignore me altogether, I would have nathin' or even less to do with 'em. " I wouldn't even walk on the same side of the street as a man. AND, WHAT'S MORE, I'd bring up all of my children to be the same way! Interesting Deathbed Statement Well, now, 'at's funny.

N —Tennyson. : o Unusual Plant Is the Object Of Experiment §G^en lt;e^t^ B y E ^ The following letter was received and he confesses that he uses strong this week by the Northwest" Viking, and as it pleases us tremendously, we are passing it on. Incidentally; The Viking wishes to thank our unknown friend, Mrs. S B . , for her interest in Normal. Editor, Northwest*Viking, The Normal: . . I wonder if it would interest you to know how an Easterner admires your grounds? That you have had so' much life there all winter is amazing to us who have seen bare, bleak campuses in January. That your lawn is green and soft and smooth the year 'round without little signs saying "Keep Off the Grass," is another surprise. I've climbed that hill many a time just to see whether I might not surprise some such sign around somewhere. But no! Either you have a wonderful gardener that can repair damage as fast as it occurs, or else you have a still more wonderful student body that makes "please keep to the walks' signs unnecessary. I'd like to know the secret of your lawn's perfection. Many an' Eastern gardener tears his hair, by night, uses strong language by day, and still doesn't have a nice lawn the year round. I have talked with your head gardener— the one who wears Ms hat turned up in front.-Is not that he?— There is a white-flowered bush between the Normal building and the should eat a light breakfast every morning, and that an arrangement library that has blossomed out this should be made so that students would not have to buy one meal a day ' w e e k w i t h f i v e s m a U w n i t e baSs gt; off the campus with money needed for other things. It believes that a tied to the branches. This is the re-arrangement of the kitchen schedule could be made to take care of the service and the necessary cleaning up and dishwashing, and a change in the breakfast menu be made if it is necessary to adapt it to cafeteria service. This could no doubt be done without inconveniencing the kitchen crew, or throwing any of the waitresses out of employment. In fairness to the people who must pay for three meals a day whether they eat them or not, this change should be made, and it would no doubt react very favorably in terms of student economy, and in student efficiency in the 10 and I 1 o'clock classes. EL NIDO HOUSE Thelma Beard entertained with a luncheon last Wednesday, in honor of Mrs. Webster. Coressa Shull was the dinner guest of Martha Rumbaugh, Mildred Deekerand Evelyn Swalling, Sunday. Bertha Herald and Mildred Gib-erson visited El Nido, Sunday. Mrs. Evensen visited her daughter, Thelma, during the week. Florence Elliott motored to Lyn-den with friends, Sunday afternoon. Thelma Beard spent the week-end with her grandmother, Mrs. Web-vster;';.;- Estfaer Dow was a guest of the Vales: in Sumas. ^Claire Kieffer had as her weekend ; guest, Clara F. Godwin, of Mr. ami Mrs. W^lsworth and son, Clyde, were visitors of Vera Wals-worth over the week-end. Marie Day motored to White Rock Sunday, with friends. COLLETT COURT Ruby Summers spent the weekend at her home in Mount Vernon. Jean Neilson, from Seattle, is the guest of Alva, Brankenstein this week. Mrs. R. Boddington, a former graduate from here has been visiting Mrs. Collett for a few days. Her home is on Orcas island. v Margaret Smith, who' attended school, last quarter, visited Monday. Mrs. Collett entertained with a dinner at the Willows in honor of Mrs. J. Yoes. Her guests were Miss Adele Jones, Mrs. More, and Mrs. Yqes. ' y ';;, A group of the girls from Collett court spent Sunday out at the beginning of a scientific experiment which, according to Miss Piatt, will prove a valuable addition to the study of botany. The common name of the plant is flowering currant, and this' bush is the only one known to be white, others all having red flowers. The experiment is being conducted by Miss Piatt and the botany class to find whether the white plant is a new .variety or merely a freak. The bags are used to prevent the bees from cross-pollinating the flowers not already budded with the red flowering currant just around the corner. When the flower bags are budded, they will be self pollinated, tagged, and the seeds gathered in the fall. After a wait of several years for the seeds to be planted, to grow and blossom, t h e ' investigators expect to be rewarded in discovering by the color of the new blossom whether or not our white flowering currant bush is a freak.

The Viking hopes for a successful baseball season this year seems • t o depend a great deal on the ability of the men to hit the old apple rather than to check the offensive play of the team. The batting of some.of the players seems to be noteworthy even at this early date. Pitching is again the weakest position on the squad. Several men have been working out for the position. The coach is spending a lot of time with them and believes that it is possible to have a good battery by the time the season gets underway. _ _o For the first time in years the Frosh did it! The result of the in-terclass track meet was much to our disappointment in favor of t he Frosh, but I think it would have "been a much different story if only points had been given for the first three places instead of the first five. The Sophomores copped more first places than the Frosh, but the. Frosh had so many entrants that the third, fourth and fifth places soon totaled up to a huge score and offset the firsts and seconds garnered by the Sophomores. We admit our defeat though and congratulate the Frosh on their victory and hope they repeat it in the year 1931. PRES. FISHER PITCHES Intramural baseball was officially opened last Wednesday afternoon, when President Fisher and Sam Carver acting as the battery, struck the first batter out one, two, three, just like that. The batter was none other than our own Dean Bever. o U. OF W. DUPLICATES FEAT OF OLD Inter-collegiate crew racing commenced last week when the University of Washington and University of California crews met on the Seattle estuary. The Washington rowing fleet duplicated its feat of 1926 to nose out victory in the three-mile varsity race and easily win t he Junior varsity and Freshman events from the California Bears. It was t he first victory of the varsity for four years. Prom the- indications Washington will be well represented at the national meet this year. It seems like days of old for Washington to win crew races. ,-• o •The Vikings varsity horsehide maulers seem to be on their way to a successful season. With a fairly good infield, a group of hard hitting outfielders and about two more weeks of intensive training the Vikings will be in quest of a champion- *" ship title. — lt;*— Helen Purcell was confined to the Isolation Hospital last week with a bad case of sore throat. ' After training in the first day of the Interclass track meet, the Frosh came back Friday to grab most of the points and defeat the Sophomores 100 to 78VS. At t he end of Thursday's events the Sophs had a 7-point vlead, but in their favorite events, the following day, the Freshmen had little trouble in forging ahead. Only in the 100-yard dash and the high jump did the upper classmen have an advantage, while the Frosh took large numbers of points in the 440, the 880, the javelin, and t he hurdles. Times and distances for the events were comparatively slow, with past Normal records, and considerable improvement will have to be shown. Quick's time in the 88-yard run was fair, as was Falkner's in the 440. Cole, with 21 points, and Dixon with 19, were high-point men of the meet Tomorrow the Vikings will engage in a meet with'' Whatcom High school, and possibly with the Mount Vernon Junior college. The High, school boys have a .strong squad and will furnish the Vikings with plenty of opposition. Summary The summary for the meet was as follows: 100-yard dash—Dixon (S), Emory (F), Jackson (S); time, 11:1. - lOOryard dash—Cole (S), Falkner (F), Gunn (S); time, 11. 220-yard dash—Cole (S), Duyff (F), Stearns (F), Jackson (S); time 25 seconds. 44-yard dash—Falkner (F), Quick (F), Lovegren (F), Stearns (F), Hansen (S); time, 57.6. 880-yard run—Quick (F), Lovegren (F), Hanson (S), Abshire (S), Eacrett (F); time, 2:16. High hurdles—Flowers (F), Dixon (S), Eacrett (F), Davis (S), Stearns (F). Low hurdles—Cole (S), Duyff (F), Flowers (F), Lovegren (F), Davis (S). Javelin—Shelton (F), Initiation for t he twenty-five new members of the Women's Athletic Association will be held next Tuesday in the form of a hare and hounds chase. Ann Swanson will lead several of the old members as the hare to the destination, Whatcom Falls park. After sports, Irene Marz, in charge of the initiation, will lead forth the initiates to. capture the hares, and all of them will finally make appearance at the park for food. , Girls are asked to bring their own food, especially weiners and buns, which will be roasted around a camp fire. ———o— :—.

Quentin Quick portrayed Sheriff Bane, and gave an unusually good delineation of character. Hugh Lovegren was very good as Cpntoole, the wily prosecuting attorney. Murder Involved The plot of the play concerned the efforts of Sheriff Bane to force either Mrs. Weatherburn ^or Til to confess to the murder of Mr. Weatherburn, who has disappeared. Several telephone calls come, stating that the supposed dead man has been seen heading in the direction of his home. Finally, the hysterical .Til declares that she sees him approaching. A knock is heard upon the door. Bane, thinking it to be Weatherburnys ghost, confesses to the killing, a t which point the pros- •ecuting attorney enters and arrests him.

There will be meetings in the auditorium according to the above. schedule at which attendance of all candidates for graduation from the two-year course will be required. Save the dale! ARCHITECTURE TOPIC OF ASSEMBLY TALK Prof. Herman Pleases Assembly . With Illustrated Lecture On the History of Architecture. Professor A. P. Herrman, of the Department of Agriculture of the University of Washington, was a speaker before the student body Tuesday morning, April 15. His appearance here was sponsored by the Washington chapter of the American Society of Architects. The subject of Professor Herr-man's discussion concerned achitect-ural appreciation. He gave a brief resume of the history of architecture, stating that it started probably about 5,000 B. C. somewhere in Egypt. "Architecture is crystallized history," the speaker declared. He also stated that the climate of a country, its social conditions, and its militaristic attitude, were reflected in its architecture. _ o FILM IS SHOWN IN TRAINING ASSEMBLY Training School to Take Active Part In Tulip Festival Parade— To Be Four Classes of Floats. The Trainng School assembly Friday morning was devoted to a motion picture film of the life of the toad. The film gave the complete cycle of the ordinary garden variety of toad, and also the tree toad. Many interesting glimpses into the intimate life of the toad were given, and also some fascinating pictures of tadpoles. After seeing this film, showing the harmless existence of these small animals and the positive aid Book-Mending Exhibit and Picture Display LIBRARY The exhibit in the lower hail of the Library is intended to show how material may be accumulated and cared for in a library or one's personal collection. Books have a habit of becoming shabby. It is quite possible to mend them so that they may be used for a long time if one knows how to buy the proper material and how to use it. Students have been given the opportunity this year to learn how to do various kinds of mending and the results, have been most satisfactory. Miss George, head of the Cataloging department, has generously given many hours of instruction each week to students. In return for this instruction, the students have donated a great deal of work which is very valuable to the Library. Pamphlets are somewhat of a problem to everyone. Some of the most useful and up-to-date information is published in pamphlet form and much of it is well-worth pre* serving in a permanent collection. There are many inexpensive ways to bind pamphlet material and several such binders are shown in the exhibit. They are well worth studying. A picture collection is very useful to a teacher—also to the general public. A valuable collection may be built up by anyone who has foresight and imagination. Practically all of the pictures in the exhibit were cut from magazines and advertisements. The mounts are not expensive. Eventually the mounted pictures will be filed under subject and loaned for short periods of time. The pictures too small to be mounted .can be used in scrapbooks. Miss George suggests making a list of subjects that will be useful in your teaching or other, work. Then as you get pictures illustrating these subjects, put them into labeled envelopes. When you have a sufficient number on any subject mount them in the scrapbook. The books shown in the exhibit cost only ten cents each. which they render us in the destruction of insects, we cannot but have some degree of respect for them, and grant that they have a right to live. With the news that there is to be a Tulip Festival after all this year, the Training school received instructions concerning the Juvenile parade, in which they are expected to take an active part. Committees are to be formed and plans will soon be on foot to make a creditable exhibition of the floats made by members of the Training school. There are to be four classes of floats—the Small Float, the Bir cycle Division, the Comic Division, arid the Pet Division, and some most interesting and valuable prizes amounting to $300 are to be awarded the best entries.

A man is only happy in subordination to his work. A dog finds his only joy in subordination to a man. On any day one may see right on our Normal campus one of the happiest dogs in the world. Laddie Boy is his name, and for nearly four years he has played the part of faithful' servant to George Dack, Normal head gardener. On over 1,200 days he has carried a warm noonday lunch four blocks to find Dack and give it to him. That he may not be molested by other dogs, some member of the family usually accompanies Laddie Boy on his trip. On only one day has he failed his duty. Nothing definite is known about his reasons for this failure, George Dack and Laddie Boy but there are certain vague rumors of. "romance," "springtime," "love," etc., connected with- it. As Laddie Boy is faithful in the bringing of the lunch, so is he faithful in all things. When the Dack family goes to the beach, he is the self-appointed life-guard for the children. When Dack reaches home after his day's work, Laddie Boy brings his slippers and the evening papers at a mere word from him. Day and night, year in and year out, he is a faithful, worshiping servant. And he is happy! If you doubt it, look him over carefully at your next opportunity and try to pick out signs of gloom, despondency, or patient suffering in his attitude. Just try! . - Word has been received that Miss Clara Reynolds, who is now enrolled in an art course at the University of Washington, has had the honor of having a number of her art works placed on exhibition. One of them is to be presented at an exhibit in California and five others are to be shown in the art exhibition which is to take place at the University. Miss Reynolds is a graduate of this school and has taught in the Seattle schools.

'". ; Williams Trio Appears The Extempore Speech Contest Preliminaries will be held Tuesday evening, May 17, in room 119. This contest is open to every student in the school and .is a challenge to anyone who loves to take a dare. I t is a chance for the student who is interested in this sort of work to sliow his initiative and his ability to rise to the occasion. In this aspect, it is far above the prepared speech idea, and a much truer test of the student's ability to speak. Six people will be chosen in this tryout and will speak in assembly Friday, May 20. The subjects for these talks will be given out Friday morning at eight o'clock. The three chosen "from these six will compete with the winners of last quarter's contest, George Allez, Sverre Arestad and Edna Smith, on May 27, for the cup. ~- The final winner will have his or her name engraved on the cup, a great honor for any student of the Normal to attain. Students : and instructors should come to school Tuesday prepared to donate heartily and generously to the relief fund for the people of the flooded areas along ; the Mississippi. Sympathy expressed in a material way will* be a. Godsend to the unfortunate flood victims. "Do unto others as you Hvould have them do unto you." An organized effort to aid the flood regions relief fund will be made by both the faculty and student body next week. Tags will be gt;given for any contribution regardless- of the amount. .., The campaign will be under the direction of the Women's -League. / Devastation which has risen to unprecedented heights in the lower Mississippi Valley regions has united the country in providing relief for the 7 sufferers. Appeals from the Red^Cross and President Coolidge are bringing much needed assistance. Both the students and faculty of this school have asked for some way in Avhich the school might, aid. The present organization is the result of a joint meeting of a Faculty Committee and the Board of .Control held Wednesday noon. The drive will be made in Tuesday's assembly and a definite quota .will be asked of the school. " " ' . ; . .• Gunner H.

It has been charged with working a t cross-purposes with the .".Board of Control, messing up club dates and being generally inefficient. No 'doubt the Council has warranted some of the comment. ,: Yet the Inter-Club Council has a definite; function. It was created by the Faculty Committee on; student organizations. I t s purpose is to set club social dates, regulate'.'-club activities,, audit club books, and see that the club officers adhere to the point .'system. The Council lias a 1 gt;ig job. It is moreover a new organization, still largely in the experimental stage. Last Spring was the time-^of its organizing. Strong criticism is hardly fair for so young an organization. Admittedly however,' the Council lias not;lived up to all ••expectations'. J t is "large..and cumbersome. . There lias been little • co-operation, between it..and the'Board'ofrControl.

They exhibited much skill and originality. A Tnumber of articles were made and some stenciling was applied to each. - The girls made lamp shades, pencil trays, and table screens. One girl made a pillow. The lamp shades were especially attractive. Most of the girls made them for their -own rooms. They used. different shades of paper to blend with the color scheme of the rooms. Some girls used a number of different shades of tissue paper for-the background and applied graceful silhouette figures. 'When, the-'lamp '. is lit the shade with its different tints gives a pleasing appearance. Some of the girls made heavier ..shades by ironing wax into them and .still others painted silhouette figures oif' colored paper and later went, over the whole shade with oil and turpentine, these making the shade more durable as well as adding a_ lustre to its appearance. •-. . - : _o ___ • Peculiar Initiation of Vanadis Bragi Qub Is Noticed Several members of the student body have been seen bowing three times and.-.politely carrying books of-the members of the Vanadis Bragi club'.".

"The best that the class room can afford is a statement of the problem and a discussion of the facts and forces that interact in the world of reality." "Most schools," continued Mr. Williams, "offer courses in Labor problems but few students realize the stress and struggle, the perplexities and difficulties that beset the worker unless they have had to depend upon their own resources" and have known the perils of unemployment, low wages, and the uncertainty of a job. "If the proper study of mankind is man, so also the proper study of the labor problem is employment in labor." Mr., Williams pointed out that the "Nation" magazine " is offering three prizes of $100, $50, and $25 respectively, for the best accounts of a college student's summer experience in some industrial or agricultural occupation and on interpretation, of the industry involved. The purpose of the magazine is to encourage among college students a more- direct understanding, of capi: tal and labor from actual experience rather -than from text bopks. Manuscripts must not be over 4000 words in length and must be received by the publishers by November first, 1927. , .. _ '•••- '- - __ ' The prize winning essay in the 1926 contest was entitled "Taxi; Mister?", published in the March 9th issue of the .Nation. It was awarded to Sol Auerback of the University of Pennsylvania. Miss Alfheld Johnson - of OberUn University won the second prize for her experience in a hardwood factory. The third prize was awarded William. C. Putman of Stanford University for ••his.'essay, "Serfs of the Sea." -' The best philosophy of life comes thru real experience with life, concluded \Mr. Williams, and he suggests that some Normal student1 inay enrich themselves in three ways: -by gaining valuable; experience for themselves; by securing remunerative employment for the summer and by winning the Nation's essay prizes. , — ; .

Dance Given In Big Gym Tonight X; It is timely at this period of the new year to cite a few statistics regarding education. By taking ac-coant of oar milestones of progress in education we can gauge and plan .for continued greater development in the future for this field. v The latest reports coining from the Federal Bureau of Education 'state the high school enrollment in the nation has doubled since 1920. The figures of attendance pre- " sented in the report show that 21,000,000 children are enrolled in the public elementary schools, with an additional 2,143,000 in the private schools, or, in the aggregate, one-fifth i of the total population. More than 3,750,000 were in attendance in public secondary schools, with nearly 350,000 additional in private schools of the high school division. The most amazing fact is that nearly 800,000 are registered as resident students at colleges and the universities, an increase during the preceding five years of 25%. And this number does not include the nearly 300,000 enrolled in the "teachers' colleges and the normal schools. While there is a noticable gain in college enrollment- of 2 per cent for 1928 over the previous year, the . smallness of this increase is quite in contrast to the average gain in recent years. This condition is due, probably, to the increase of junior colleges and necessary limitation of enrollment by schools unable to take care of larger numbers. Columbia University tops the list with 32,000 students. California comes a close second with 28,281 Four others have an enrollment of more than 10,000 each. -W. S. N. S. TBI§ WEEK STUDENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OP WASHINGTON: AWOKE FROM THEIR LONG LETHARGOUS HOLIDAY VACATION AND WENT BACK TO SCHOOL. NEARLY 7,000 HAD REGISTERED BY THE END OF THIS WEEK. THERE WERE 101 LESS ON THE "FLUNK LIST" THIS YEAR; ONLY 351 WERE DROPPED FROM THE ENROLLMENT. JANUARY 7 WAS ALSO THE BEGINNING DAY FOR W. 8. C, ELLENSBURG, AND CHENEY. THE LATTER SCHOOL HAS ALSO DISPLAYED INTEREST IN OBTAINING A NEW SCHOOL SONG. W. S. N. S.-—- : In national education, the state • f Washington ranks first! ——W. S. N. S. Intercourse with the Hawaiians in sports has been in the news for the last two months. Several teams on each side of the "big pond" have mixed. Even a high school in Hawaii sent its grid men to the continent. New Year's day the' U. of Oregon managed to win from the U. of Hawaii at Honolulu. The territorial Nonnal of Hawaii is a good sized school with a wide reputation in its area. Why not make basketball or grid negotiations with this school of the territory for 1929. -—W. S. N. S. Exchange reports have it that eastern colleges are harder hit by influenza. Very few western institutions, if any, are forced to close doors because of it. Big schools like Missouri, Wisconsin, and Kansas have however shut their doors to students. W. S. N. S . -— CALENDAR The W. A. A. dance will be held tonight in the Big: Gym at 7:30 o'clock. The proceeds of the dance are to go towards payments on the cottage on Sinclair Island. Prizes will be awarded for the most artistic, the most clever, and for the funniest costumes. The program will begin promptly at 7:30 and will consist of three acts of vaudeville after which dancing will follow. The best orchestra that the Normal school affords will play for it. Candy and punch will be served in the evening. The admission is fifteen cents or two for twenty-five cents and every one is cordially invited to come. o Arthur Johnson, Who Appears Next Tuesday, Remembered for Delightful Program Last Spring. IS WELL-KNOWN TENOR IS WELL RECEIVED Delightful Personality of Beatrice Nelson Pleases Audience, with Miss Elwell as Her Accompanist. SATURDAY-^Jan. 121 Vikings vs. St. Martin's col- - lege- at Fairhaven. Gymnasium. TUESDAY—Jan. 15. Arthur Johnson, tenor, in assembly. FRIDAYr-Jan. 18.

Miss Nelson is a young Seattle girl with a great deal of natural ability and a charming personality. Her appearance afforded a noticeable stir in the audience and her artistry was of a most finished and unusual style. Wonderful Voice Her wonderful voice was, perhaps, • the most surprising thing about Miss Nelson, for from her rather childish lips, it vibrated throughout the auditorium, full, round, beautiful, and unusually sympathetic and caressiHg. From the most operatic arias to crooning slumber songs, she sang with equal facility and sensitive translation. Siding's "Sylvelin", although a rather difficult number, was the most popular selection in the first group. It brought out her delicacy of interpretation and captivated her listeners. "Shanewis" Pleases Miss Nelson presented two arias from the opera of Charles Wakefield Cadman, "Her Shadow", which is an original Indian melody, and "Spring Song of the Robin Women". Both were well received and beautifully sung, but the latter was the more effective with its bird-like trills and graceful runs. Her third group composed of Russian music was perhaps the most interesting. Miss Nelson's representation of the "Oriental Romance" of Rimsky-Korsakow was very bewitching, indeed it developed at an atmosphere fitting of a scene from the "Arabian Nights." She was most charming in her rendition of this melody, "Slumber Song" by Gretchaninoff and Cyril Scott's "Lullaby." "Who Knows" Is Favored Perhaps the best number on Miss Nelson's program was "Who Knows" by William Stickles, which appeared in her fourth and last group. Two quatrains from the "Rubiayat" of Omar Khayyam have been set to very appropriate music in this number, and sung by the enchanting voice of Miss Nelson the selection was pronounced very lovely. Undoubtedly, Beatrice Nelson is one of the finest musicians appearing in recital at Normal this school year. In her unique choice of program, her sympathetic interpretation of the program, her stage presence and personality, her dramatic ability and in many other points, she proved her right to the homage accorded her. : • . ' — :—O- '-— ; Appointment Bureau Announces Positions Jacobsons to Give Unusual Double Piano Recital Similar to Recent Mair-Pattison Event. Arthur Johnson, tenor, will sing-in assembly next Tuesday, January 15. Mr. Jonnson appeared here last Spring and was well received by the student body. He possesses a clear and beautiful ' voice, nice diction, and a very pleasing personality. His program is sufficient proof of his versatility. In common with many of the other young artists, Arthur Johnson is a' college graduate. More, he is a member of the exclusive scholarship society, the Phi Beta Kappa. One of the most interesting points regarding Arthur Johnson's performance is that both he and his accompanist play entirely by memory and carry no music upon their tours, having a repertoire of over 150 pieces learned by memory. In Friday's assembly, January 18, Myron Jacobson and Bertha Poncy Jacobson will give a double piano recital, similar to the one given by Maier and Pattison during the Fall quarter. Myron Jacobson may be remembered as the accompanist of Kath-ryn Meisle, soprano, who appeared in concert at the Christian Church. o Inter-Club Council Passes on Calendar At a meeting of the Inter-Club Council last Monday evening at 7:30, the dates which have been submitted for the Winter quarter were discussed and finally, passed upon. There is some difficulty yet to be overcome in the dates allotted for the Men's Club informal, the W. A. A. banquet, and the freshman party. The following dates were passed upon, however, and the irregularities of these groups will be settled outside of the council. Jan.' 7—Social Science party. Jan 9—Oregon club. Jan. 10—All school tea.

She has had experience in St. Louis, resigning her position there to come west. Miss Reese is to serve in a secretarial capacity for the library and will also be in charge of the reserved book room. .

This orchestra's first concert was given on December 18,1928, and was very highly praised and enthusiastically received. Their second program has promises of being even better and is mos tcomplete. Appreciation Is Aim The primary gt; aim of the Little Symphony Orchestra is. to. open the door to musical education and to circulate a finer music knowledge and appreciation throughout this territory. ., - . .. The concert Tuesday, February 12, begins at. three o'clock in the afternoon and is expressly for school children at fifteen cents single admission or forty cents by the season ticket. The doors open in the evening at eight o'clock, admission being twenty-five and fifty cents for students and adultts, single admission or season tickets seventy-five cents and a dollar fifty cents. E The Final Debate of the Series of Inter-club Debates Is Won by Independents by a Close Decision The final debate of the series of intra-mural contests, held in the auditorium Wednesday evening, resulted in a two to one decision for the Independent team, ^comprising Ray Craft, Stanley Cooper, and Wi A. Cram. The Vanadis Bragi team, Messrs. Lyle Summers, Wallace Gruwell, and Curtis Bell, ably defended the negative size of the question which was: Resolved, that a constiution-al amendment be adopted giving Congress exclusive power to regulate marriage and divorce in the United States." The judges were Miss Helen Do-zier, Miss Florence Johnson, and Mr. Pelagius Williams. Mr. H. E. Fowler presided. •Dr Miller Returns From Extended Trip Dr. Irving E.

Finley Beth Caley William Thompson Roy Sundstrom | | 0 : ' AN AMENDMENT While the iron is hot it would be an excellent time to suggest a much % needed improvement in the constitution of the Associated Students of ; Bellingham Normal. *••.;We elect nearly every quarter some new representative to fill out the ^term of some "four quarter" student who was graduated. This lap-over ; is confusing. This four quarter term is seldom, if ever, carried out by the one who takes it over at first.. » In a four-year school, these four quarters would be equal to holding a . job.on die Board for a period of over two years. In terms.of proportions, -it is a four quarter job in a six quarter school; and, in a larger school it would be an eight quarter job in a twelve quarter curriculum. If this amendment should go through it would be stated something •like this: That all candidates for student representative on the Board of Control shall be elected for a term of two quarters only. With this order the candidates need not hesitate in making the announcement of his intention of remaining in the school the same length of time he is elected for this office. : ..It is only honest to say that prevarication has been made or ignorance v^of the future has been expressed by past holders of this four-quarter term. The only seemingly sound argument for the opposition to this proposed amendment can be blasted from its traditional foundation. Opposition J would say that a candidate should be elected for four quarters so as to - h a v e a tried, and experienced member on the Board. This is looking askance at a two-quarter member who is not given the IQ rating as to • Have enough intelligence to acquiesce with the predominating elements .-.••••", which at present exist on said Board. In short, this four-quarter job; " d o e s not merit the present qualifications. '••'•.-. So why have the longer term; if shortened it will allow a few more to • .gain some executive experience. The value of this experience should ', be left up to the reader. This proposition bears-much consideration in student affairs. T H E "QUESTION MARK" A ship, with a heart of steel, that soared Out of the morning into the dark, And then in the haven of Fame was moored— That was the "Question Mark." A mute inspiration to us, who need A little help in steering Life's bark. Was her dauntless faith,-a wondrous creed Which flew with the "Question Mark." DISCIPLINE Soon, when we become teachers, one of the important and difficult problems with which we will be faced will be that of maintaining discipline in our class rooms at all times. However, even with this perhaps in mind many of us may refuse others the courtesy which we ourselves expect to receive. Such was the state of affairs in last Tuesday's assembly and in many assemblies of the past. Without regard for the feelings of others, students who are supposedly here with the intention of securing an education and who are supposedly ladies and gentlemen,, seem to show no compunction about creating annoying disturbances. A teachers training institution is no place for such conduct. tfKeys to Baldpate" Open Parts For Many Aspiring Young Actors pg-j,V''"Now. Kellie, you come in and ji;|| Uliow: Bow!

AS A COLUMNIST WE ARE A MERE TYRO AND ARE FINDING IT HARD SLEDDING. Not as hard as Porter found the pavement Wednesday night, the... We can't help but wonder if he isn't going to come down with the housemaid's knee. / / he's confined to the infirmary we'll visit him daily—and bring him tid-bits from time to time. He's certain to miss his lighted cigarettes and his soap, and a live goldfish now and then should cheer him up immensely. What, with all of this talk about higher education making for standardization, we expect many fond parents will be withdrawing their young hopefuls from this institution when news of "Porter's exploit gets around. And absent-minded judges are likely to be committing eccentric individuals to Bellingham Normal quite as often as to Sedro- Woolley or Steilacom. We expect Pres. Fisher will be seeing Mr. Kolstad today about working up a mental balance test to add to the entrance requirements. Porter emphatically denies the rumor that if the fellows who failed to put up their money don't pay up, he will start up at Baughman's and crawl back down. BETS LIKE PORTER'S ARE USUALLY MADE AROUND ELECTION TIME. So, hearing of the bet, we looked for the election and sure enough, there it was.. We hope that you voted for Johnny Byrnes... But when Johnny announced that he was running on a depot platform we had to deny him oar seven votes. And we hope you voted for the right candidate for the four quarter berth on the Board of Control, too. lt;e * * * For the first time since the departure of Clarence..

He'was a member at his death of Division No. 249 of the Order of Railway Conductors at aTcoma. Mr. Crawford also held membership in the Order of the Royal Arcanum Np. 1307, of Tacoma, joining the order forty-nine years ago. o ;— Philos Hold Meeting With Varied Program Phrase of Teaching Is Becoming More and More Important Upon Success and Proficiency of Pupil. Nineteen students are enrolled in advanced remedial teaching this quarter with Miss Erickson as their supervisor. Instead of regular classroom teaching these students are engaged in individual work with the children who are retarded for various reasons, such as sickness, physical defects, promotions involving the skipping of a grade and so on. Most of the help needed by these pupils is in arithmetic, spelling and reading and their difficulties are located by the use of diagnostic tests which reveal them in the most minute detail. This phase of teaching is becoming more and more important since success in all studies depends upon proficiency in these fundamental skills. Monday evening;1 January 7, the Social Science club held its first meeting of the semester in the Blue Room of Edens Hall. After a short business meeting a program was presented. Jean Philippi played the Waltz in A by Chopin, and Ethel Boynton presented two violin solos, the Desert Song and A bream. The club president, Naomi Chase read a humorous sketch by John Riddell, a satire written on the book, Mother India. An advertising game and refreshments concluded the evening's entertainment.

XXVI—NO. 20 Drama Club Will Present "Milestones" WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Friday, February 2 5 , 1927 Many Interesting Facts Have Been Unearthed to Make Play Jovial. March IMP Dates Set Philomatheans Will Eat at Leopold Hotel Tomorrow Change of Time in Play Denoted by Costumes Conversation. Is "I bet" was almost "equal to swearing when Grandma was a girl; just as when a modern young girl exclaims, ——well, it isn't necessary to state just what she exclaims. Many such interesting details of life in the "60's" and "80's" have been unearthed by the cast of "Milestones," the Drama Club Play which will be presented Friday and Saturday nights, March 11 and 12. The struggle between youth and old age of which we hear so much today was quite in evidence back in the 'good old days.' However, as it • is true of most people, when these young people grew older they became more conservative until their children's actions were quite shocking and their grand children's ideas were very radical. Several Things Make Change The change of time is denoted, to a marked degree, by the costumes, the furniture, and the jtopics of conversation. The production committee and the. actons are working together in trying to make the atmosphere as characteristic of the time as possible. The lover of costume, plays will find lovely old hoop skirts, and the bustles, and modernists will enjojr the third act, which is quite up-to-date in its costume and setting. The whole play is full of comedy, quick action, and interest. Rehearsals Excellent. Rehearsals are coming along very rapidly and all the members of the cast are falling into 'their parts remarkably well, according to the coach, Miss Madden. /"The cast follows: John Rhead Bill Mock "Gertrude Rhead Olive Hardan Mrs Rhead Margaret Moore Samuel Sibley v..„ Ed Dingerson Rose Sibley Rella Ebeling jtfed Pym Jack Schneider Emily Rhead Nita Johnson -Arthur Preece Donald Stickney Nancy Sibley Elsa Pearl Lord Monkhurst Ralph Huff The Honorable Muriel Pym -June Wetherell Richard' Sibley Warren Boynton Webster Foster Kirk The scene throughout, is laid in the drawing room of a house in.Kensington Gore. . The first act is in the 60's. The second act is in the 80's. . The third act is in the. present time. , The annual banquet of the Philo Club,will be held in Tulip Room of the Leopold Hotel, February 26. This homecoming event will be one of the most impressive social affairs of the season. Former members and present members will attend the banquet. George Allez has consented to act as-toastmaster for the occasion. Committees in charge of the banquet are: Decoration, Emmeline Moss, chairman Byron DeBolt, Clara Liter, Kirvin Smith j Program, Robert Fisher, chairman, Irene Kendler, Clara Jacobsen, June Wetherell; Invitations, Arthur Adamson, chairman, Anna M#rie Cronin, -Harold Keeney; Menu and Banquet program, Thelma Butler, chairman, Rella Ebeling, Ruth Quaife; Tickets, Mary Ness, chairman, Jean Knowlton, Carrie Tucker. Following the banquet, dancing will be enjoyed. Zoning Problems Explained By Expert Local Zoning Commission Will Begin by Mapping and Dimensioning. Alice Endsley Is Circulation Manager Zoning is very Progressive System Insures A Beautiful and Progressive City and Increases Value. In order to stage a very successful sales drive for the "RED ARROW," the Members of the Scribes Club met Wednesday noon, and elected a circulation manager, Miss Alice Endsley. Present plans, according to her, are to the effect of making a campaign for advance selling of the magazine. With this in view, several associates have been delegated to look after different channels of the selling. The Alumni will be taken charge of by Nelson Robinson, the faculty by Myrtle Arnold, and the girls in Edens Hall by Alice Endsley. Nelson Robinson was elected business manager of the magazine at Wednesday's meeting. The publication, according to the editor, will be out about the 1 Oth of March. W. A. A. PLAY Get Ready For the Viking Vodvil Tryouts Clubs are asked to be ready for "Vodvil try-outs, which will be held Thursday and Friday, March 28th =and- 29th. In order to insure a variety of acts, it has been suggested that clubs report the type of act, .whether comic, dance or dramatic, which they are planning to present, to Andy McCall, manager of the Vodvil. This will eliminate 'useless delay at the tryout. The Vodvil will be held during the latter part of April. This is neces- :sary so that time may be given to prepare for the Tulip Festival, which will take place during the "first, part of May.' ; A;' " "Only six or seven acts will be chosen for the Vikipg Vodvil. This means work for the" clubs that want their act on the bill," says Andy Mc- •Call, Vodvil. manager. The committee of judges for the tryout will be. ^announced later. Under the auspices of the W. A. A., the faculty will present two one-act plays, "Food," and "A Bunch of Roses." At the same program the W . A. A. girls will entertain with an act of burlesque, satire, humor, or "what have you." The program will take place on the second (2nd) day of March, in the Auditorium. "Don't miss this! It's a scream!" "Our first problem in zoning is to find out what zoning means, what it takes in," said President Fisher, in speaking of the latest step toward establishing a zoning system in Bel-lingham. Mr. E. L. Gaines, former engineer and executive secretary of the Seattle zoning commission, and now engineer and executive secretary of the Seattle planning commission, addressed tlie Bellingham. zoning committee in their meeting, Thursday, February 17. Mr. Gaines' talk was on zoning and its problems. Mr. Gaines is considered the best informed man in this part of the country along this particular line. Mapping First Problem. The first thing to be done now is to get maps made. Several types of maps are necessary. There are "Area Maps,' showing the dimensions of lots occuiped by buildings; the •"'Height Map," showing the height of buildings; "Existing Conditions Map," showing buildings UOAV standing and the lots now vacant. This mapping must be done for the whole cjty and is one of the biggest problems confronting the commission. Estimates are now being made as to the cost of this mapping. Lack of funds to have the mapping done makes it considerably harder for the commission to get ••under way with its work. Funds must be provided before mapping can be started.

Committees are at work to make this dance, which will be a "Convict the most successful season. Decorations, Tri-Normal Debate Abandoned, Due to Lack of Interest by Other Schools. "Zoning insures the people security in their property. They know that no building or business house will go up, in any zone, that will lessen the value of property in that zone: The most progressive cities in the United States .are using the zoning plan. Bellingham is growing rapidly and zoning is a timely step that insures the. people a beautiful, well planned city for the future." If present plans materialize, the Bellingham State Normal School will have a program of debates with the College of Puget Sound, the Junior College at Mount Vernon, and the Badger Club, a debating club of the University of Washington. This proposed schedule of debates is found necessary, since the debates between the three state Normal schools have been abandoned. Miss Madden, coach of the Bellingham Normal debating team, explains that the discontinuance of the inter-Normal debates lias been due to the lagging of interest on the part of the Ellensburg Normal School, which, she believes, is due to their repeated defeat in the debate. The debate between the Bellingham- Normal and the Junior College at Mt. Vernon will be on the'theme of the "Modification of the Volstead Act. The date for this debate has not been set definitely as yet. The Badger Club of the University of Washington will take the same theme in the debates with the Normal arguers. Another proposal for a debate encounter has come from' the Women's .debate team at the College of Puget Sound, but the subject has not been selected. Miss Madden expresses optimistic view with regard to the success of the Bellingham Normal Debating team. This is due to her experience in previous debates where the Bellingham Normal has emerged victorious on most occassions. o Sophomore Party Tonight In Big Gym No, the gayly attired Italian gentlemen and ladies who have decorated the halls for the past few days are not going to a masquerade. They are the members of the cast of "The Gondoliers," the comic opera, presented in the auditorium tonight and tomorrow night by the Bellingham Civic Opera Company. Familiar faces are among the crowd, some of our own Normal students. John Kerr, for instance, whose part of the Duke of Plaza- Toro is, to put it quite mildly, the funniest character to gallivant across the Normal stage for many moons. A real gondola will sail across the stage, too, among the Italian scenery and the gay Italian singers. "The Gondoliers" promises to be a most interesting and pleasing program. A special students' rate of fifty cents has been made. EXTEMPOREIONTEST INITIAL EFFORT SUCCESSFUL Judging from the response of the students at the first tryout, the extempore S2)eech contest held at the Normal auditorium last week, was a decided success. Edna Smith, George Allez, and Sverre Arestad were voted winners by the judges. Six contestants, chosen from seventeen that participated in the first preliminary, took part at the competition held in the auditorium. Another preliminary will be held in the early part of the Spring quarter, accordingto Miss ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1927 February 25 - Page 2 ---------- few Published by StiKtehts' Association of.

Vernon Zachrison EDITORIAL COUNCIL Jessie Whitten Robert Fisher Ruth Sturman THRIFT A N D PLANNING There is an exceedingly noticeable improvement in the written matter that is to be printed in the Klipsun for the year '27. In addition to the betterment along the lines of composition the general make-up of the book shows an evident stride upward in taste and feeling of the aesthetic. This year the annual will endeavor to display an oriental atmosphere. That part of the Orient will be depicted which is known to the civilized world as China. Due to the fact that an early start was attained this year it is probable that the book will possess a better binding than last year's annual did. In all probability the printing will also be of better quality because the printers have the advantage of beginning work early. Last Thursday the first batch of material was sent to the Union Printing Company. Saturday a shipment of twenty-eight panels of Sophomore photographs were mailed to the Western Engraving Company in Seattle. It is estimated that at the end of the present quarter very little work will remain for the editor or her force. The early start is an achievement in itself. Due to the fact that the cost of producing, the annual increased considerably this year, we were grateful to get the extra fifty cents from the students. Under a system of careful planning—retarded occasionally by profound deliberation—the KJipsun board has successfully accomplished an almost impossible feat, namely, the adding of a few new features to the annual. By using but one color throughout the entire book, it has been possible to have an introductory page which is a great deal more elaborate than it has ever been before. The sports section will be more attractive and more extensive. . The cover design for this year's book has been designed by Margaret Burke. It is indeed a piece of art. The art work, depicting the atmosphere of the Orient has also been done by Miss Burke. A great deal of credit is due to the editor and the faculty advisor in selecting a jtaff as efficient and capable as the present one. Every member of the staff has put forth a conscientious effort to produce the annual. "The Private Life of Helen of Troy" has been the rage about the corridors of the Normal for some time. It has been said (how authentically we know not) that professors have mentioned it in their classes, decorated with a bit of favorable comment. In reading the book with a critical attitude it will be noticed that there are a great many good things concealed within its pages. The tragedy lies in the fact that there is too much dabbling in sloppishness and modernistic or Elinor Glynnish sentimentality- To the uncasual reader, it is suggested that it be read with a critical attitude, because it has been recommended to you on the good points it possesses within its labyrinthian verbiages. The book uses freely the characters (as far as names are concerned) from Homer's Odyssey. The author depicts them from the modern standpoint of view. Among some of the principles that are elucidated in this dissertation are: marriage as a social institution; reconciliation among members of the immediate family; pride; sfubborness; sacrifice; conceit; retribution; friendship; love; and hundreds of dependent intricacies of life. In addition to developing the above the author has attempted to lay down a few hard and fast rules by which we are enabled to govern some of our actions. - He is (as Mr. .Witherspoon would say) stepping on as many toes, by so doing, as he is freeing. The book is easily read and the gist can be procured from its contents within two hours. A critical time in the affairs ,of the Associated Students of this school is approaching. The event of the election of a new Student Body President brings a time of considering and reckoning. Facts and problems of student government become conscious in the students' mind for ^ die first time perhaps, during the school year. The retiring officer's actions are subject to some thought and perhaps, appreciation. But, the vastly larger problem is the selection of another president. An important problem-—but how much worthwhile, intelligent consideration gt;wll the students give it? Will a Iukewann interest culminate in a popular student being nominated, make the usual pledge to support In the February fifteenth issue of the Student Opinion (Ellensburg Normal official publication) there appeared an editorial denouncing the Cheney Journal for mistaking the fact, accidentally, that in 1922, A N N O DOMINI, the Ellensburg WILDCATS had overwhelmed the Savages in a measly basketball encounter. We are wondering whether'the game in itself was important enough at the time to write home about, let alone bringing the facts to light, a matter of five years later. Probably Cheney had forgotten about the game, due to its very insignificance. Seemingly impossible, squabbles often times lead into great arguments, so let us desist.

After playing on fairly even terms with the Rotchschild quintet in the first half, the Vikings came back in the . final period to fall before the driving assaultv of the former University men in a game played last Saturday night on the Whatcom floor, by a score of 36 to 23. Rothschild had a well balanced - team, all . of their men towering way above the Vikings, and, coupled with this, they had experience. Logan broke the ice for the Rothschilds, by annexing a field goal shortly after the game opened. Keplinger followed immediately by annexing two free throws, making the score two up. The Seattle men followed soon after with two field goals and a free throw. The Rothschilds went on a basket shooting rampage, and before the Normal men knew about it, held *a 13 to 6 lead. Thus, far, Keplinger had been the only man who was able to break open for shots at the basket. . Jensen Opens Fire. Jensen, Viking center, who has been on the sick list during the last week, thought it was about his turn, so he began shooting long ones, garnering three of them in successive order. Lyman Stickney followed with a free throw, and for the first time during the game the Vikings were on even terms with Rothschilds. Hes-keth put a pretty shot through the hoop, giving his teammates the better of a 15 to 13 score when the half ended. Vikings Again Lead. The Vikings took advantage of an opening i n ' t h e Rothschild defense, and Jensen annexed a pretty goal and free throw, to give the Vikings a one-point lead. With but ten minutes to go, the Normal men were trailing a 30 to 19 score. Hale and Hesketh garnered a basket each; Nicholson tossed in a foul throw; Harper renewed Viking hopes by taking a goal from underneath the basket; Nicholson again scored, this time a field goal; Jensen who had been making Kroop, Rothschild center, step pretty lively, sank another basket; Keplinger was taken out on personals ;•. the final score stood; Rothschilds, 36; Bellingham, 23. Hesketh and Jensen, High. Hesketh, Rothschild forward, tied Jensen, Viking center, for high point honors, with thirteen markers. Hale, Seattle guard, garnered nine points. (Keplinger made six.

SUPERS SMOTHER BROWN COLE TO CLINCH TITLE Super Vikings Grab an Early Lead and Are Not Headed, the Final Score Gives Them a 50-43 Win Sweeping onward toAvard the City Class A hoop title, the Viking Super-varsity conquered the Brown Cole five 50-43 in the first mix of their threergame titular series, Tuesday evening at Whatcom. The Supers had, last week, won one game of the play-off, but this was thrown out because of the playing of an ineligible man. Supers Lead All the Way. The Vikings got off to a flying start that netted them, a ten-point lead in the first few minutes—a lead which they held continuously through the remainder of the game. They had the Grocers completely bewildered, passing around them easily, and shooting almost at will. At half time, they led, 30-20. As the second half opened, the Brown Cole men really got into action, cutting the lead down to but six points. Both teams were ring'-: ing up baskets, the Supers on short shots, and the Groeers on their characteristic underhand long shots. The Normal 10-point margin^ held for the remainder of the game, and the Supers emerged on top. Brick Harris was the whole shoAV for the Grocers, accounting for over half his. teams total with twenty-three points. For the Normalites the team as a whole worked well together no one man being outstanding. Summary: ~ - Normal 50 B. C. 43 McClurkan 10 ....F.... McCollum 10 Harper 4 .F.

VERNON COLLEGE Mount Vernon Junior College fell before the" onrushing Viking Super-varsity last Friday evening in the Skagit city, 24-11. The Supers got off to a good start and continued to^play a good brand of ball. They, looked much .better than they did in their previous engagement with the Collegians, which was won 29-24. All the men contributed to the scoring, the points ranging from six to two. McClurken, with his "usual flashy game, was outstanding for the Supers. WHY? Go out of the bunding for LUNCH Oar Serves Delicious Hot Lunches From 11 to lVelock Ice Cream Cones, Fruit, Sandwiches, Milk, Candy The Low Down B Y NORBY Forgot to say a few words about the Ali-Tri-Normal prospects for the guard posts. Can you find any one that would fill these positions better than Stickney and Isaacson? I should Say, no! Isaacson proved his worth in holding- his man in the various Tri- Normal games to practically no points, a feat which is difficult for the best of guards to do. Lyman Stickney played a different type of a game entirely, being especially adept at sneaking in for a few baskets, while holding his opponent to a low score. Thanks to the ardent group, of rooters that jeered the Jayvees on to victory against the Midway "Cigar Men. This particular way of displaying one's humor does not go over very big. Viking basketball followers had their chance to see a group of former University of Washington stars in action, when they came up here to try their stuff on the Normal quintet. They won, but those who saw the game, learned that the Rothschild men did not put very much over them. Had Ray Odell been in the lineup, the final score might have different. Co-ordination semed lacking; Keplinger passed under the basket several times, and—Odell was not there. Jack Harper was given a chance in last Saturday's game. He played careful basketball, and had he had the experience he possibly would have shown the rest of the boys up. His basketball career started only last year, when he played in the forward position for the Super-Varsity. His good work on this team last season gave him a place on the Varsity squad this year. - Brilliant teamwork* featured both the Super-Varsity-Brown and Cole, and the Junior Varsity-Modern Woodmen games last Monday. Fast breaking predominated. The better condition of the Normal men on the big Whatcom floor, contributed to their victories. VARSITY ENCOUNTER WCEYITKTONIGHT New Frosh Machine Will Oppose Coach Carver's Proteges Tomorrow at U. of W. Gymnasium. On the Y floor tonight, the Jayvees will play the first of a three game series to determine the Gity Class B Championship. The Jayvees should thank the Midway Cigar Men, who not only took the Normalites out of the running in the. earlier part of the second half of the split schedule, but also put them back in the running by defeating the Wreckers in the last scheduled game of the season. The Varsity squad left yesterday for the south to engage the St. Martins and University of Washington Freshmen squads, Friday and Saturday evenings.

Campus Beauty and Barber Shop 939-W Baughman Bldg. Cedar High The Normal varsity basketball team left Bellingham yesterday for Lacey, and Seattle, where the last games of the 1927 season will be played against St. Martins College "quintet tonight and the University of Washington Freshmen five at Seattle tomorrow. .. These two games are expected to be two of the year's hardest contests, both of the ..opposing teams having lost to Normal by only a few points. The Vikings have had a highly successful season thus far; they have won nine games and lost but two, holding the state Tri-Normal title. One of the losses was to the fast Rothschild's five of Seattle, while the other was to Cheney. Normal, which was easily defeated here twice. St. Martins College will be engaged at Lacey tonight. The Catholics have one of their strongest teams, holding victories over many high class hoop aggregations, including Ellensburg Normal and College of Puget Sound. In Cardinal, center, and Wrubble, forward, they have two of the best men seen here against the Vikings. In their appearance here several weeks ago, the Laceyites forced the Vikings to the utmost before succumbing 51 to 40. They succeeded in scoring more points against the Vikings in that one game than any opposing team has this year. Different Frosh Team. The Frosh outfit which is to meet I the Vikings this time is an entirely different one from that which lost a 31 to 25 decision here early in the season in the. Seattle City League, the other which met outside teams. The two teams have been shifted, and it is the stronger one which will encounteir the Vikings tomorrow. Included in the Frosh lineup are "Jiggs" Jaloff, former all-state Oregon high school forward; Clary Berlin, who holds the single game scoring record in the Seattle City League; and Paul Jessup, of Whatcom High School.

MACDOWELL CLUB TO GIVE P R O G R AM The MacDowell Club will appear in recital at the regular assembly, Tuesday, March 1, imder the direction of Miss Slawson of the Music department. JThe club will be as-issted by the girls' sextette, the members of which are Irene Kend-ler, Esther Cooper, Grace Richardson, Phyllis Johnson, Elma Butler, Martha Gesdahl, and Louise Kaufman. ' Vera Laznicka will give violin solos ,and an instrumental trio, com posed of Marion Walters and Walter Fisher, clarionetists, and Rella Ebe-ling, piano, will also add to the pro^ gram. o — Read this excerpt from the University of Washington Daily: That coeds should go 50-50 on dates if the boy friend's financial condition is poor, was the consensus of the women as well as men at a -joint discussion of the Athena and Stevens Debate clubs in Commerce hall last night. Coeds should not expect a good night kiss after a heavy date, said one of the stronger sex. "After, he has called a taxi and taken her to the Olympic, fed her, and taken her home, he has done entirely enough for her." Personal experiences of the men revealed that if the coeds did go 50-50 they, would learn to appreciate a date, instead of emitting an indifferent "uh huh" when asked for one. There would be less men staying home nights, too, if, the girls agreed to finance half of the •expedition."- '.'••.,. There are six or seven women at this school for every man, and the practice of 50-50 dates should, work out very well. 'Why',not'try it? Get your bids in early!

The Sourdough Club held its semi-annual.' banquet at the Chuekanut Manor, last Friday evening. About thirty Sourdoughs and prospective Alaskans were present to partake of the "feed," which was served in true Northern style. Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Fisher were'the guests of honor. The ordeal opened with the song "Alaska, My Alaska." This was immediately followed by the first course, known to the Northerners as, "Glacier worms a-la-cocktail." Ptarmigan was served in true Eskimo style, in the nest. Sourdough, the drink of all hale and hearty Eskimos, brought conclusion to the satisfying meal. During the course of the meal, reminiscences of the Northland were enumerated, in turn, by all who were present. Those who had not been in Alaska, solemnly declared their intention of going. Miss Jones favored the group with two vocal solos. Mr. Diamond, a member of the school board at Ketchikan, Alaska, pleased the audience with a humorous song. Speeches % were rife and toasts were called for frequently. Humorous and burlesque tales were told unwarrantedly, almost without exertion. After the banquet, everyone departed- for the Spanish room, where dancing was indulged in, until a modestly late hour. EDENS HALL GIRLS STAGE PAJAMA PARTY Washington's birthday anniversary was the inspiration for a pleasant pajama party in the drawing room at Edens Hall last Monday evening. Unique favors were distributed and an interesting program was presented, after which the girls entertained themselves by dancing the Virginia Reel and Square' dance. As a fitting close for the evening, refreshments were served, after which the party soon broke up. Those in charge of the party were: General chairman, Clara Liter; Favors, Louise Wall, chairman, Esther King, Lucile Bowers, and Anna Marie Cronin; Refreshments, Rosaline Wakin, chairman, Gladys B. Green and Florence Dunham; Program, Edith Westling, chairman, Clara Morgan, Ellen Peterson, Elizabeth Camp, Debitha Thatcher, Ethel Antonsen, and Irene Mc- Kenna. PROFESSOR WILLIAMS SPEAKS TO LADIES' CLUB Last Saturday afternoon, Mr. Williams addressed a woman's club, the P. L. F., on the subject, "'The Place of Women in American History". Monday evening lie spoke before the Lawrence P. T. A. During the past few weeks Mr. Williams has addressed various groups throughout the city. He recently read a paper before the Twentieth Century Club, on the League of Nations and the World Court. It included some observations and information received at the headquarters of the League^it Geneva. Mr. Arntzen visited his home in Tacoma, Tuesday. Last Wednesday, Miss Cummins spoke at the Lowell grade school on Washington, his home in Mount Vernon, and 'Why He Was a Revolutionist." SMOKELESS SMOKER. .

A New Recipe for Debaters A teacher's college in Ohio' takes a hand at turning bur better forensic artists; rendering former "before the mirror" methods' obsolete. The school has found that mass production methods succeed in not only turning. out quality debaters, but first-rate winners as well. As a pre-requisite, the candidates must be well grounded in logic, facts, etc. Then the wholesale lot of speakers are placed in a room with orders to talk their heads off. Each has his little , speech and so proceeds to make himself heard. As the pandemonium increases, each speaker attempts to drown out his babbling competitors. Survivors of the melee. are then given, a few more distracting elements to contend with. Chairs, several of them, are thrown into the air; hecklers, and antagonistic persons are introduced from time to time. Such a seasoning almost completely eliminates embarrassed and hesitant reactions. So. the word-beaten candidate goes out into the public forum. —W. S. N. S. Program Will be Presented on Wednesday, February Sixth on Receipt of Purchased Ticket. FIFTEEN DANCES Friday, February 1, Is Date Set as the Time Limit for' the Purchase of Tickets and Singing. Cheney,'Wash., (Ex).—The sports editors of the Cheney Normal Journal, with the help of Coach Woodward, have picked a tri-Normal mythical football eleven. Four players of Eliensburg, four of Cheney and three of Bellingham compose the tri-Normal allotment. The men and positions are as follows: Tim-mons,; Eliensburg, fullback; Williams, Bellingham, left half; Morgan, Cheney, right half; Robinson, Eliensburg, quarterback; Volkman, Cheney, left guard; Stickney, Bell-ingham, center; Kadlec, Cheney, right guard; Gugenbickler, Eliensburg, right tackle; Thorsen, Bellingham, right end. Williams of Bellingham did not play regularly at fullback, but as he deserved mention on the team he was shifted to left half, leaving fullback position to Timmons. - ' — W. S. N. S.— ...Seattle, Wash., Jan. 24.—All •the fur coats prevalent on the campus this winter were not paid for by papa. The modern coed earns her own money and gives the family pockeibook a rest, says May Dunn Ward, assistant dean of Women at the University of Washington. Miss Ward's task is finding jobs for inexperienced or experienced girls who have more ambition than ready cash, and her office serves as a clearing house for women who must work, and for employers, seeking help. — W. S. N. S . —— Discussion of the.Men's Club Informal occupied the major part of the Men's meeting last Tuesday. The plans were given by Joe Herm-sen, chairman of committee, who presented the committee heads to the club and they in turn told how their committees were functioning. The order of the dances caused quite a discussion among some of the members of the club. Advocates of more waltzes presented their case, and likewise the members who were addicted to "drags" and trots gave arguments. The chairman presented a tentative program which was accepted by the club. Norman Bright, working in co-operation with the "W" club, has charge of the sale of tickets. He will be in the Dean of Women's office every day from 12:30 to 1 o'clock to 'register the men who wish to attend the dance. Time Limit Set • Friday, the first of February, has been set as the time limit for signing up and paying for the dance. Many men who have attended this school formerly have asked for reservations for the dance. If a hundred boys are not signed up and their tickets paid for by February 1, the rest of the quota will be made up of these outside men. Programs will be given out for the dance on the Wednesday preceding the Friday of the dance. The programs will be presented upon receipt of the ticket given at the time of signing up and paying. The program is as follows: 1: Trot. 2: Trot. 3: Waltz. 4: Trot. * 5: Trot. 6.: Waltz Moonlight. 7: Trot. 8: Trot. 8: Trot. 9: Waltz. 10: Trot. 11: Trot. 12: Waltz Moonlight. 13: Trot. 14: Trot. . Waltz. o - • 15 About 12 per cent of the women on the campus are entirely self-supporting, according to her latest figures, and one-third help to pay their own expenses. Qualified stenographers make up the largest 'group for whom Miss Ward seeks employment, with clerical workers next. Baby-tenders, cooks and mothers helpers are also much in demand. ——w. s. isr. s.—j—r-' BOARD FORMULATES PLAN FOR SYMPHONY Second Program of Bellingham Little Symphony Orchestra Will Be Presented February 12.

The orchestra, conducted by Harold B. Smith of the Music Department, is giving an afternoon concert for the school children^ and ah evening concert for students and adults. Because of the low rates of adr mission, twenty-five cents for students, fifteen cents for children and fifty cents for adults, it will be necessary to have the auditorium of the church filled to capacity in both the afternoon and evening in order to meet expenses.

Mrs. Frances Gladwin, Advanced Student, to Take Charge of Class . and Teach Algelira ana English. ULLIN TO TEACH FRENCH By Catherine Morse Sara Truax Albert, reader of Shakesperian plays and other dramatic works, and John Langdon- Davies, popular English writer and lecturer of social, political and economic problems, are scheduled to appear in assemblies of January 29 and February 1, respectively. John Langdon-Davies has for many years lectured extensively in England and the United States, and in 1923 was a candidate for Parliament in the Epsom division of Surrey. He was educated at Tonbridge school and at St. John's College, Oxford, where he held the Sir Thomas White scholarship in modern history, as well as three other scholarships and exhibitions. Keen Sense of Humor Mr. Langdon-Davies is tall, has an infectious good humor, and is unquestionably one of the soundest, most brilliant and likeable of the younger Englishmen to ever visit America. There is intelligence written on his finely chiseled face, from the crowning peak of his bushy, tousled hair, to the square tilt of his chin. He is just thirty years of age. Mr. Langdon-Davies has been the subject of much discussion since the appearance of his two books in this country, "A New Age of Faith," and "A Short History of Women." Reader Here Before Sara Truax Albert is making her third appearance at the Bellingham Normal next Tuesday morning. Her former recitals have been received with much enthusiasm by her audiences and she has heretofore chosen her numbers from the more medern dramas. This time, her selections are from the plays of William Shakespeare. — —o New Ruling Is Made for Melody Contest Crowded Condition of City High School Is Responsible for Change in the Training School. Oscar O. Whither Selected from lt; Group of Five Representatives of Normal Faculty. CHURCH, STICKER CANDD3ATE Catherine Morse Is Only Remaining Woman on Board; Men Candidates Are Favored. Last week • the all school song contest committee met to discuss the rules of the contest. With the increasing interest shown in the contest, new problems have presented themselves. The committee decided to make an addition to rule four. According to the new ruling, two types of songs may be submitted; a loyalty and Alma Mater type, or a pep and activity type.. • Many songs have come in already from alumni about the state. One song submitted, by Curtis Foster Brown, of Acme,, is especially beau-tif uly. The title of the song is, "A Song to Sehome," much, like our present song, while " the music, though lively, is stately and of -the hymn type.. Clarence Thue has the music to a song already written, which is of a most beautiful "militaristic style. Rumors are about that Miss Hilda Rqsene", of the faculty,, is composing the words for a: song, while Vera. Ginette, -a^ student, may compose the music.

MaiipC^^ 's-Iiincoln Brown Lawrence Dufraine '• : Genevieve Warren REPORTERS George Benson Claire Patterson Edna B. Finley Beth Caley William Thompson Roy Sundstrom T O A N I R A T E SUBSCRIBER ' /•/,:vln last week's issue of the VlKING in the column devoted to Student Opinion, Will be found a letter signed by "An Irate Subscriber" object- . ing to an editorial commenting on the bad behavior of certain students in assembly. In this extremely wordy and rudundant epistle, the writer objects to being reminded of this exhibition of bad manners; he objects strenuously and at great length, so strenuously and at such great length, that he appears to be intoxicated with the exuberance of his own verbosity: Methinks the gentleman doth protest too much, and his very protestation forces one to the belief that he must be one of those unfortunates to whom good manners must be taught. The writer of the editorial in question has no apology to make, but repeats his appeal for '.•.••!• better behavior in assembly. Please try to behave, irate subscriber. Several weeks ago an editorial and a student opinion appeared in this paper reprimanding those certain members of the student body who insist on causing annoying disturbances in our assemblies. In reply to : these articles we published last issue, a student opinion which criticized our criticim. Allow us to quote a certain passage from that opinion. It follows: "Why then clutter up the V I K I N G with criticism of some deficiency of which we are very well aware and in no way concerned. That same criticism might be applied to other subjects upon which student opinions have been written." . Perhaps,-dear readers, you are already asking "who is this insipid nincompoop who.has the extreme audacity to say that we are in no way ' concerned with whether we have order in our assemblies or not? Who is • t h i s , to use his own 'expression, would-be journalist whose criticism is t -anything: but constructive and who cautiously signs his berating article "An Irate Subcriber"? In answer we say that, although we have a suspicion as to who this irate gentleman of the scathng remarks may be, we shall be somewhat more considerate than he and withhold his name from - t h e clutches of the angry mob. ; ; ; ; : W e have, however, one apology to make to our readers. This aspiring young critic is correct when he says that the VlKING staff should v refrain from printing uncalled for criticism. So we humbly beg your pardon for publishing the "Irate Subscriber's" opinion. — E D I T O R Have you ever considered the often disastrous-effects of our present system of awarding grades as a reward for alleged achievement? An instructor is supposed to guide and stimulate his students, to open to them new fields of thought, to suggest additional, and supplementary reading material, and to bestow upon them the benefits of his richer experience. All very well—this is-: frequently done by the instructor, but how does the practical student who has an eye to the grade he is going to receive at the end of the quarter react to all this? With a competitive grading system such as we have here, such a student is assuredly not going to expend his rather valuable time upon supplementary material suggested by the instructor when he knows the value of a comparatively few facts—the essential facts—thoroughly learned. He is going to attempt to discover what these essentials are— what things are going to be covered in the examinations. And on these facts and these only, is he going" to work. His study will be a process of classification; he will reject the material offered by the instructor more often than he will attempt to supplement it and every fact, theory or idea will be measured by this yardstick: "Will it be in the test?" It seems to us that the custom of awarding grades is at the bottom of this abuse that allows a parrot with a critical eye to make better grades than an earnest student of equal intelligence—but, we admit that we can think of nothing better to offer— perhaps you can..

A more sympathetic or understanding treatment could hardly be given this subject. Mr. Vandercook has caught the mystery of this jungle tribe, the majesty of then-race, the beauty and stillness of the jungle in which only they who know, survive.- He has woven a great tribute to the black men of Suriname. What might have been only another account of exploration, throbs with the rhythmic, magic Yesterday morning we were seated in an arm chair in the men's room at the dorm, feet on the radiator and a blank look on our face when a passing student who should have known better, kicked our chair and asked, "Working hard?" "Why, yet!" we replied, "Studying Econ." The passer-by laughed and walked on. Now, we were serious about it. The student who sits down at his desk to work out an assignment, arranges all the necessary paraphernalia, and then spends an hour chewing on his pencil and hoping for an inspiration, has our sympa-. thy. We are lazy and so learned at a tender age that it made things easier if we did not attempt to shut each phase of our activities away from all the others. We learned, too, that a little time spent in meditation now and then—anywhere, at Harry's, at Baughman's or at the movies—helps to fix and" arrange things in our rather sluggish mind and that it is well to know just what one is going to do before one attempts to do anything. We offer this to the freshman class in particular. Now, laugh if you want to. ^ / I read ?Irate!

But, it is somewhat difficult to understand a recent article wrU gt; ten by a„ "subscriber", self styled "irate", protesting against the publication of ' such letters on the ridiculous ground that they are not news.

Teddy, or as he is better known to his teammates as Hoz-arfah, is a local lad that received Ms early athletic training in the Franklin grade school of this city. From there he, along with his fellow, classmate, Oscar Thorsen, went to the Whatcom high school. There Teddy worked under the tutelage of Coach John Keeran f or a period of four years. The young man in question was a letterman in three major sports at his high school. Football, basketball his specialties. I n 1925 Teddy was chosen as ah All-Star guard in the Northwest District basketball tournament. After his graduation from Whatcom high, he came to Normal, where he has made his mark in all three of the sports bf football, basketball and baseball. Teddy^ has earned a sweater in all three of these sports. And this year it looks as if he will earn his second year sweater in basketball. Great things are expected from this lad this season. * * * * Earl Jewells three o'clock class in the theory of P. E. has a most interesting tournament in progress.

We are in his class and like to play basketball. • • , * * * * At least there is a large amount of interest in the class and its work. And after all that is the main thing. MAYBE! WHOOPS! CHOW TIME! SEE YOU ALL LATER! MAYBE NOT IF YOU CAN HELP IT! Baggage to Basketball and Then Back To Baggage Again - Viking's Itinerary Once again a Viking team takes the road. This time is is the fighting five that defeated the Rothschild quintet last Friday night in the Whatcom gym. Undoubtedly there are x many of us that think it would.be glorious fun to make such a trip, while, the school is standing the expenses. And, beyond a doubt, it would be a wonderful experience. But before anyone thinks too seriously on this subject, he (or she) should stop and consider the following things. Rushing to meet a train in the freezing wind. Standing on the cold platform, while the steel giant of the rails rolls to a purring halt. Riding a half a day in a stuffy coach. Getting out at Seattle and rushing up town and grabbing a snack to eat. Then rushing back to the train for the other side of the mountains. Chasing your baggage around. Getting settled for the ride of several hours over the hump. The coach is hot and uncomfortable. You look out of the windows and see people hurrying around to keep out of the cold, or trying to keep warm. And you would welcome a nice fresh breath of cold air. Then it begins to get dark. And your train is hitting the high spots trying to get you over the hump in time for you to be in Ellensburg for a little workout before retiring. Then you arrive at the station. Alight. Boy! A dash for your overcoat, and furs. It is cold at home but this burg is as cold again as home. Now to find a hotel to get out of the cold so you can get some sleep. Then to spend a day in this cold deserted-looking town in the backyard of creation. Then follows a game with the Wild Cats. This is tougher than it was in football season. Then out into the cold night air; Dash to the station .and hop -a rattler for Yakima/ Another night in this Inland Empire will put us In our graves. The • weather is so .cold that brie must | t e k e a knife td cut his jway through ' ; the frozen atmosphereii A short stop •|Ui Yakima.: Long;; enough j; to play * ^ e G e r i e r ^^ f T a t t ^ another night ride on the sleeper^ Besides, this sleeping in stuffy, old pullman cars is not what it is cracked up to be. You play at Cheney, and then board a bus for Spokane and meet the Spokanev College quintet. After that there is nothing left to do but grab the first rattler back to God's country and' the coast. Now if there is anyone who thinks he would like to make such a trip let me review the past story. First, out in the cold. Then a hot, stuffy coach. Out in Seattle. Grab" a bite to eat. Catch the next train for the other side of the hills. Riding in hot cars is no fun. It is .in the heat, out in the cold. Packing and unpacking. Changing and unchanging ones clothes. Running for rattlers. Sleeping in the most impossible places to sleep. Tired from one night to the other, and one can't get any real rest. It is just play and run. Then run and play. Don't envy the teams that are traveling. Just thank your lucky stars that you have a nice warm bed and a comfortable place to park for the evening when it comes. Harry "Heb" Benson ELLENSBURG TAKES 'FIRST NORMAL TILT Vikings Drop Hard Fought Bas-ketball Game to Wildcats Wed-, nesday Night. A fighting Viking quinlet dropped the 'first game in the tri-Normal conference, Wednesday night on the Ellensburg floor, 37-15. Coach Carver's men fought valiantly to overcome a big lead in the half, but the close checking Ellensburg team held its ground and con^ sistently broke up the Viking offense. Odell, Bellingham forward and captain, led his team with six points, and showed up to good advantage on the floor. It was just too much "Sutphin" for the Vikings. The classy Ellensburg forward broke through the local defense to ring the hoop with clean-cut shots. His evening's work cost the Viking team 14 points, which made him. high point man for the contest. McClurken and Dixon, flashy Bellingham stars, were closely checked and unable to break loose in their usual impressive fashion. They had difficulty in finding the basket and in making good their "sure" shots. Clark and Thorsen played a good brand of basketball, but the Wildcats consistently broke through and dropped difficult shots from all parts of the floor. •The Line-up: Bellingham P F ..... C G G Bellingham: McLaughlin 2, for McClurken, Benson for Dixon. Ellensburg: Lewellen for Gagnon, Thomas 1 for Rogers. The Vikings play the Cheney Savages this evening, and complete their trip of the Inland Empire with a game with Spokane College Saturday evening. Coach Sam Carver left Bellingham Teusday evening with eight men: Odell, McClurken, and MacLaughlin, forwards; Dixon, center; Thorsen, Clark, Ben-sen, and Lundberg, guards, o———— Six Teams Organized in Girl's Basketball Odell, 6 McClurken 3 ..

Under the direction of Bill Osborne, plans are being made for the banquet February 14. Alice Mather and Howard Beazley were elected to the club, and will be initiated at that time. After the business meeting, Miss Delia Keeler gave a very interesting, talk. In behalf of the members of the former Rural Lifedub, Vanadis Bragi was presented with a deposit book crediting the club with $110. \ Due to the large number of girls turning out for basketball, Miss Helen Dozier, coach, has found it possible to organize six complete teams. Miss Dozier is teaching the girls, some real basketball skill and the teams are made up of good material. They are to play their intramural games soon. ' Thursday afternoon the,following names were chosen for the teams: Bumble Bees, Hot Harlerites, Indian Givers, Hall Hoopsters, Turu-las and the Basketeers. Many inexperienced players developing into good material. -.-' . —o— — ' Progress to Suit Ourselves Two fast and rugged, games were played off this week in the_ beginning of the second half of the intramural basketball schedule. I n the tussle Monday evening the Kitchen Krew nosedLout the highly improved Thespian Club" quintet by the narrow margin of 27-22. Good teamwork and fast passing featured this game and .--the final outcome was in doubt until the final whistle blew. The; boys from the dorm led at the half mark 15-7, but the clubmen came back in the second half and tied the score-twice at 19 and 21 all. The Thespian men were smaller in stature and time arid again this proved their undoing when under the basket. The starting line-up was Kitchen Krew: Johnson and Biegle, forwards; Stickney, center; Lamphier and Moe, guards. Thespian, Moen and Reeves, forwards; Rodland, center; Turnbull and Omeg, guards. Wednesday evening's game proved the thriller of'the^-week when 'the fast gt; moving Co-op walloped the .Men's club 28-15. These two teams were tied for first place with the Kitchen Krew for high honors in the first half of the season's schedule. The downfall of the clubmen was their inability to pass the ball, with too much shooting from all places of the floor by all the players. The first half ended with the Co-op on top 11-6. At the beginning of the second frame the Co-op men came back and increased then.' lead by a flock of baskets arid held their lead from then on. Roy Arnet, flashy guard of the storemen, was the outstanding player of the game with his consistent passing and shooting when in range. He carried off high point honors with a total of 12 tallies. The guarding the Bill Wanamaker was also a bright light in the Co-op defense. Bill continually broke up the opponent's plays and accounted for six scores himself. The football tactics of Cather was a laugh provoker for the spectators as he thundered down the floor to catch a pass from a teammate. His receiving methods in football were still used and a riot of laughter would go up as he intercepted these passes. The opening line-up of Wednesday's game was: Co-op: Parker and Cram, forwards; Greene, center; Wanamaker and Arnett, guards. Men's Club: Gravrock and Axelson, forwards; Gaither, center; Kaas and Cather, guards; Substitutions- Van Over for Cram, Bickford for Arnett, Gisberg for Axelson who was ruled out on fouls. — ; o —- j[acobsons Received with Great Acclaim Harry Darby, well known man about school, has withdrawn from attendance this quarter and is selling insurance.

DWIGHT SMITH Faculty Advisors Are Introduced to Freshmen Girls in Women's League Assembly, Tuesday. '-•'. "It.is not necessary for a teacher to attempt to do social servfce while teaching because she has. enough to do without it, but it is her duty to report all social problems to the proper social organizations,'' said Mrs. Dwight Smith, when she ad-sembly on Tuesday, January 22k sembly on Tuesday, aJnuary 22. Mrs. Smith was for two years an instructor in the School of Nurses at Yale College, most of her work being done in connection with the schools. There are several phases of social work and each group of workers is interested in some special- part of it. Those who are solving the family problem deal with the questions of divorce, education and clothing; widow's pensions, budgets and financial independence come under the economic; and there are also those who see that the feeble minded and tardy children are properly cared for. . The Clinic at New Haven is maintained for .the school* and the entire staff of teachers in each cooperates with the Clinic. It is necessary, for some students to go every week for treatments, and a record is kept so that the children have constant care. Mrs. Smith ended her talk by giving a quotation from Mark Twain. This advice was given to a young speaker, "Stand where they can see you, talk so they can hear you, and make it short so they will like you-" Mary Elizabeth Fowler and Edna Working, nominees _/f or secretary of the Women's League, were introduced by Viola Poyhonen and the voting immediately followed.

In the Eastern; cities much interest is being shown in the; work of -the iBellihgham Normal, described as "the most ho'rtherly Normal school up m the north-western cor/, her of far away Washington.'' Much': is expected of this growing west, ;and according to an article by a noted geographer in a popular magazine, this coast will in a short time become the home of four to eight million more people than it now harbors. Opinions are expressed that great achievements in science, in literature and in art will be prominent among.

WASHINGTON Thursday/July 3, 1930 DIRTY DISHES SQUATTER SOVEREIGNITY S. O. S. FOR SPORTS CLOCK-WATCHERS By Catherine Morse A friend of ours was Spanning the food and service,over at the dorm the other day, but we managed to impress upon the said friend.that a more philosophical attitude would help him enjoy his meals. However, we trotted over to eat there once ourselves just to prove that we were right about- our philosophical attitude. Well, here and now, we would like to beg our friend's pardon for treating his complaint so trivially. You know we really don't object to duly dishes if we can see the dirt, but when itTgets so bad that when we pick up a glass it gets our hand all greasy, we begin to have slight qualms of mal-de-mer. On second thought, we find that there might be some method in having the dishes so foul You see, when the food is all left on the plates, it can be salvaged for hash the next day. * * . • * That wasn't a very nice remark, though, was it? J But, you see, we were most incensed over the fact that when no one could eat the chicken a la king Monday, we were served chicken soup oh Tuesday. It would be a little more tactful if at least one day were allowed to elapse before such a complete denouement. It is somewhat of an insult to meet an old friend in such a variety of disguises. * - lt; • - * - * Then, too, we can't help wondering if "too many cooks don't sort of spoil the broth" (you've noticed it, I hope). Many jfoiks are'nt very good sports and after they have waited a half-hour in. line and sagaciously avoided the soup and the creamed potatoes, they get rather annoyed . when they end up with suspicious coffee and a wilted salad that speedily disgorges -a placid angleworm. 'Sfunny that little things like that sort of peeve people. * * * • Cafeterias aside, haven t you noticed how nice and green the lawns are now? So green and cool and inviting that from our,vantage point in The Viking Window we have noticed severad\ couple have exercised the right-of squatter^sovereignty. That's okey, folks; there is nothing like getting right back to nature during the long, Hot ( ? ) sumr mer days. ' Maybe we shouldn't mention it, but we think it so considerate of the business manager to come to the rescue of the sporting page and furnish those nice half-page ads. and sort of cover up the deficiencies. That's all right, boys; maybe there will be a nice wrestling match or a pingpong tournament to cover one of these days. The sports editor just found out what we have said about his little brain child, and he wishes to remark that a whole story was left out last time, so you see they are not so hard up after all -—and at that point, he and the editor went out to buy bathing caps for the big Watermelon bust down at Pop's. ' * ' - * - • * " '• Have you even been in an interesting class, and been subjected to a neighbor who is one of these pro-verbiaj clockwatchers? "What time is^it how?"Do youthink he wUl call on me?" "I don't think that he will have time to get this Aar, do you?" "Oh; I don't agree with him there.? "I realiy don't think what he is talking about,"—all gurgled in a loud and piercing stage whisper. ?Fpr this k j i n d ^ r^ always an exitra-pencil, a portable a l am clock/^o "i§om^0isaau0i'''''""" HANNEGAN FEATURES WEEKS' HIKING PROGRAM Twin Lakes Pass Visited by Hikers, Last Saturday; Rain Encountered In Pass; Snow, Work Enjoyed. COMMUNITY PROJECTS;" BEING CARRIED OUT '.:': IN INDUSTRIAL ARTS LAKE PADDEN TRIP Last Saturday, Twin Lakes Pass was visited by forty hikers from this school; last Tuesday approximately thirty students hiked to Lake Padden, and tomorrow some fifty mountaineers plan to leave on on the" three-day Hannegan Pass trip. Undoubtedly the hiking program is receiving plenty of co-operation as the summer quarter slowly passes on to the memory; Snow and Rain Due to the snow in Twin Lakes Pass and due to rain, Twin Lakes Pass hikers got wet, but they soon dried off in the afternoon when the sun broke through the clouds to make the trip highly successful. It was hoped that wild animal life, of the big game variety, would be encountered, but due to perhaps noises made, such creatures remained out of sight. At any event, their apparent shyness was the only disappointing factor of the trip. Lake Padden The hike to Lake Padden on Tuesday turned out to be easy and no especially exciting events took, place. The hike permitted the directors to realize that the participants were all getting in good condition for the Mount Baker trip. Hannegan Pass Tomorrow Tomorrow morning, at six o'clock, a large group of enthusiastic hikers will leave the campus, motor to Shuksan,'58 miles, and hike 11 miles to the top of Hannegan Pass. They will remain up there till Sunday afternoon when they will come out to reach Bellingham about six. We all desire to reach the top of Mount Baker and we all feel a superiority when we have achieved said accomplishment, but for an all around interesting .trip, it is felt by the- students, that the Hannegan Pass trip is the best summer offering. A little lake, covering about half an acre, sits right in the lap of the Pass, and from one side, water flows down the Fraser river and from the other it goes down the North Fork of the Nooksack river. On one side of the pass is Ruth Mountain and on the other side is Coat Mountain. Both of these, mountains will be climbed by the party. Splendid fishing may be had on either side of the pass. Bedding and food will be packed into the pass by packhorses from Shuksan, thus providing for a lighter load for the hikers. It is enough to carry one's self into the pass without also having to carry provisions for the trip. To hikers who have already been into the Pass, the desirability of carrying along a package of raisins is quite apparent. -o— Librarians Offer '- Reading Helps Farms, houses and other projects on community life comprise the main work being done in Primary Industrial Arts, under Miss Zeal ,Z^ Wilson, successor to Miss Theresa Gunther. Actual construction of homes and gardens, having fences and -Walks, and domestic animals modeled from clay, is being carried out on a miniature scale. This work follows the completion of clay work in hand modeled,, turned and cast vases -of Indian design. All projects are being carried throughout with the practical idea of classroom presentation predbm^mting. •-••^••', ••" V •' o v " - '•''•:" '::. CANADIAN SINGER IS WELL RECEIVED Conrad Bates Endorses Plea of Mr. H. B. Smith for More Male Voices for Choral Society Cantata. - * :V i "One of the outstanding features of the Bellingham Normal library Work this quarter will be,appearance of a group of professional books which will be placed on the charging desk for the purpose of acquainting students, and teachers with the best available literature pertaining to the various professions", according to Miss Esther Stalman, reference librarian. This- week there has been on display a group of books relating to the subject of Psychology. Next week there will be on the charging desk another group of books pertaining to a different subject which has not yet been announced.

Bates, tenor, gave an entrancing program of old English folksongs in the regular Tuesday morning assembly. Mr. Bates introduced each song with an appropriate anecdote, as well as a brief history of the song. The tenor held his audience under the spell of old memories and times with his charming rendition of the old songs. He was accompanied by Miss Bettie Cross, solo pianiste. After the first group of songs, Miss Cross played several piano solos by modern composers. Miss Cross gave her own charming interpreta-, tion ,of each. \Among the numbers sang by Conrad Bates were: "My Lovely Cecilia," and one on "How Not to Propose." These were exceptionally well received by his hearers. Smith Issues Call Preceding the recital, H. B. Smith, chairman of the Music department, made a plea for more male voices for the choral society. His efforts were ably endorsed by Mr. Bates in the introduction to his program. Mr. Bates is himself an ardent choral fan. The Choral Cluh is to present the cantata, "The Seven Last Words of Christ," in the final assembly of the year.

The exhibit, which will include such Japanese art as silks; textiles, costumes, pottery, and wood block prints, will be ready, for visitors by Wednesday. "More than four hundred. prints have arrived from a Japanese importing ^company", Miss Marie C. Druse, of the Art department, declared, "And will feature the dis-pay.

STUDENT REG BAND NAMED BY BOARD Student Directories to be Pubished in School Printshop by Sam Ford; y to Be Distributed Free to Students The Board of Control, at its regular meeting last Monday evening, concerned itself chiefly with a discussion of the rec hour try-outs and the issuing of a contract to publish the Student and Faculty Directory next fall quarter. Quentin Quick reported that the committee; which judged the rec hour tryouts last Friday decided that the students' orchestra should be selected because of the faithful service they had rendered during the past three quarters.

A-. Bond's beach-baked salmon, and pronounced it "gotfd.; So good, in fact, that "the people" are crying for another one.- There seemed to be something about the combination of hike-in-the-open-air-followed-by-a-plate-of-fish, as delicious as any connoisseur of goodJiving could wish for, that caught the Normal imagination- (or, to be: more accurate, affected the Normal curve of gastronomy). Conscious of the gravity of our mission, we propose that a bigger and better salmon bake be scheduled for later on in the season, in order that those people who were unable to attend the. first one. be able to indulge in what we consider a vesy, very rare treat. For most Nprmalites, after they leave Bellingham, will probably be where there is neither fresh lal-mon obtainable, nor good beaches to bake them on... And for the benefit of those who would like to sponsor private salmon bakes, this is how to bake them, after the manner of Chef Bond. Get a good rock foundation for your fire on the beach, and after the bed rocks are very hot, withdraw the fire. Lay your . fish on a sheet of chickenwire, first wrapping them in oiled paper, surrounded by damp newspaper, and encasing them in. damp seaweed. The seaweed imparts flavor to the fish. Putthe wire on the hot rocks (this will enable you to remove the.fish easily), cover the" whole with earth and sand, and rebuild the fire. Let the fish cook for two hours, uncover carefully, and serve. Six large salmon will serve approximately one hundred and fifty people. - - •.'••••..•_. . / ....•• And, since the barbecuing of salmon sis something of an art, it might not be a bad idea to practice with herring. : .Q ;—r « PROBLEM SOLVED Whether because of the editorial in The Northwest Viking last week, the address in assembly by President Fisher, or-the presence of the strong arm of the law [Monday, the'parking problem seemed to have solved itself this week. The cars were parked in orderly rows,' and no one spotted, his vegetable truck in the middle of the driveway. No one will deny that it could have been done before, But it takes a. long time for lots of people to outgrow their high school driving. Booh SALT WATER TAFFY., by Corey Ford, published by G. P. Putnam Sons, the Knickerbocker Press, New York and London, 192$. ~ As a perfectly obvious satire, but one that is overflowing with the most irrepressible humor and sarcasm, "Salt Water Taffy" is. one of the funniest yarns that has come off' the press for a long time. It made its appearance after that, inimitable "true" story by Miss Joan Lowell, "The Cradle b'f the Deep,'; as a deep insinuation as to the veracity of the tale. - . It can be best appreciated after one has seriously read the latter volume,'but it has sufficient merit in its own right to be awfully amus-v ing to anyone who is unsophisticated enough to enjoy that type of book. Of course some of the jokes that appear within the pages of "Salt Water Taffy" are fearfully.raw, but most of them so fit gt; the general hoidehish atmosphere of the book, they are accepted with a grain of salt for an excuse and digested with a grin. .- • ' To anyone who is easily shocked, this bbok would never be recommended; but, to those who appreciate a good yarn arid a rollicking fable, the reviewer's advice is: Read "Salt Water'Taffy."

Babe Ruth hit His thirtieth "home-run. Strange as it may seem, there is more copper in a nickel than in a copper penny. Clara Bow, jazz girl of the inovies, enjoyed a late sleep yesterday. A Nice Girl Comes to Town, and Bedtime Stories. Perhaps if the elephant would only learn to brush his teeth and manicure his. nails he could do a better job of acting civilized than we are doing. STILL RATIONALIZATION Leading economists of this country all agree that advertising is ninety-nine per cent waste. "Take up this correspondence course and you will gain talent over-night." "Your best friends Wont know you —neither will they tell-you." There is a strong appeal in advertising and many helpful suggestions are gained through that practice. Take the Navy, for example, with their advertising campaign — "Join the Navy and See the World." tThe only troubh with the Navy is that they dont follow up—they let their boat sink in the Poughkeepsie regatta. v SOCIALISM PLUS Playing the Stock Exchange, or the Curb, is a great game, but a highly dangerous one from an economic point of view. If you are on the inside of the dope, playing with stocks is still dangerous. The trouble with most of us is that we rush in and try to clear up a fortune over-night, and the next morning we are forced to take the first good freight train that offers a free ride to the old home' town. We usually take it. However, there are times when good tips get past the Bears and the Bulls. I happen to know of .one now that perhaps someday will materialize. ...-•'" In Russia they shoot all discovered pirooked politicians.

He has done it again. Not being satisfied with, the mere eleven world records he already held, Nurmi stepped out the other day at Stanford Bridge, London, and ran six miles in 29 minutes 36 and 3-5 seconds. Most of us could not walk gls miles without sitting' down to rest, and the rest of us would be satisfied with being able to run one mile as fast as any one of Nurmi's six miles. Last year at the Chicago Intra-Collegiate Track Meet, Wilber Getz, Alfred University miler, had to run the one mile in 4 minutes 19 seconds to win the race. He was plenty tired, and the thought of five more such miles would have been exceedingly out of place. There's no stopping Nurmi. ---------- Northwest Viking - 1930 July 3 - Page 3 ---------- j.;.\f '-VI gt;'M A\1 Mf gt;V!.'«Vl '"V«;..VJ H v 'M liHii ;/They call It a three-day vacation, i gt;ut well bet the boys listed on the golf ladder Will put in plenty of practice on the links. ^ BUI Kelly changed his eating place place from the Dorm to Bussing's.

OR DO THE MARRIED MEN HAVE SUCH A MINORITY IN SCHOOL THEY HAVE TO BORROW TO MAKE' UP A TEAM? Honesty is the first rule in learning golf. That is, when it comes to keeping score. Isn't it queer how some of these Scotch game slickers start talking about shooting sixties when it comes to figuring up a ladder handicap. A bucket of dishwater on these night strollers who insist on getting right under the window of respectable folks and singing, some mournful rhapsody. BOYS AT THE CHORAL.SOCIETY ARE ABOUT AS SCARCE AS FUZZ ON DYNAMITE. It's about as easy to keep your eye on the ball as it is to watch a mosquito do a highland fling on the back of your rieck. 23-17 victory the iVanadis We wonder if it is or "school daze"? By virtue of their last Thursday- over Bragi the Swamp Rabbits now hold forth at the top of the percentage; coumn in the intramural basketball Church, Omeg, f league. Each team has played two games. So far the slate of the crooked hind-ieg aggregation is clean, but stiff competition is; on their calendar in the next two weeks and the other three quintets are promising the closing to be much contested. The basketball schedule calls for games up to the end of the first half of the quarter. At that time an all-star team will be chosen which will probably have, a twoTgame series with the summer students of the University of Washington. The second half of the quarter will be devoted to baseball. The prospect of a series with the University at the close of that season seems to favor a get-together. Swamp Rabbits-Vanadis Bragi The Swamp Rabbits-Vanadis Bragi game last week proved to be a thriller with fast passing and good, teamwork featuring..the play. At th§ half-mark the furry five led by a' narrow margin and in the last half were able to hold it only after being hard pressed. . . . . On Tuesday of this week the Mac's Pets aggregation walked away' with their affair with the Benedicts representing the married men. The homelovers were far in the rear at the half mark, bringing up the tail-end of a 11-2 score. In the second half they seemed to show more zip and garnered four more points but the Pets netted seven more tallies. The final count was 18-6. This game was featured by rough play throughout. Many fouls were called in the first half, but apparently the referee thought it useless to let them go in the second half and football tactics ruled from then "school days" The her^shoes are flyjhg^ick^r how that we' are getting accustomed tor routine work in pur-studies. Bright Challenged a^ elson V and Prehdergast, but took it on the hoof each time. Bud ..Johnson lost a challenge to Prendergast, then/accepted a challenge from Haminett. 'r lt; Kelly came put on top with scores*being 17^-21, 21-15, 21-18:- The important matches of nbxt week will be between Korsboen, Ax/ elson and Prendergast, who are the first three men on the ladder.,The rest of the lineup is Bright, Ham- ^mitt, Brown, Pederson. The Axelson-Bright match in handball was the only event in that sport played this week. Axelspn won, 21rl5, 21-19. Willy Reeves moved up to first place when "Pop" Guhri failed to appear for his match: The ladder at present is: Reeves, Rad-; cliff, Gunn, Brown, Hanimett, AxV elson, Rule Bright, Carver, Omeg. ^§^$^1^^^ Ham Church moved dovm; from, the top pf the ladder when ha lost: tsvpiardfought sete to Prendergast, 6-(4i 6-2. Lewisi slid from tiaird to fifth /place when '/he lost two matches, one to Prendergast, 6^3, 6-0, andjthe other to Reff, 6-0, 6-0, Wilterd beat. Duyff, fl-7, 6-1. After winning a long drawn-Put deuce set, 9/7, it was a mere matter of a few minutes for Willard to come forward and take the next set from his weakened opponent. Rhodes, the big tennis-threat man from down- South, beat Reeves two straight sets to move up two notches. The top men should look him over and then worry over the prospect of his coming to the front, which he wlli undoubtedly do. The ladder now stands with•PrendergasJ; first, followed by Boynton, Church, Reff, Lewis, Willardi Reeves, Schaffer, and Summers. Rhodes, Duyff, Bond, Korsboen Golf Given Break For First Time In Summer School Session History For the first time during a summer school session the old, old sport of golf is going to get a break. The ladder has been drawn and about all that remains is for each man fig-, ure out his handicap. It was not definitely decided just how the play on. Many substitutions were made by both sides. The mated ones, by changing the. two forward positions evidently were trying to find a smooth; working machine, but to no avail. Mac's, men couldn't be' stopped, Line-Ups Thursday's game — Swamp Rabbits:- Geri and Perry, forwards; Lundberg, center; Weber and Blank-ship,, guards. Vanadis Bragi, Swanson and Korsboen,- forwards gt; Brown, center; Smith and Kelly, guards. Tuesday's game—Mac's Pets, Hun-nicutt and, .Johnson, forwards; Rhodes, center; McCleary and Johnston, guards. Benedicts, Franz and Hatley, forwards; Radcliffe, center; Bell and Bright, guards. . ,* would be held, but, as there is a range of ability in scores all the way^ fOr.forties up to seventies,/it was decided best to figure out each player's average, score, and use this~ as a basis for match-play. It is not. probable that many games will be played this week but with the return from a three-day rest the playoff gt; of challenges will be started in earnest. Several of the men signed up have' been caddies in their more youthful ,days and have been bringing the score down toward the coveted par for some time.' It is more than likely that-most of the matches will be, played off at the Riverside. Public Golf course, located on the Ferndale highway.

During the winter he is at school most of the day under the supervision of the teacher, and the parents are concerned with him only for the morning and evening. In the summer time he is at home all day. Emerson says the child learns more from the book under the desk than from the book over the desk, which is another way of saying^ that a child learns more by play than in any other way. / In some schools there are teachers oh the playgrounds to direct and to co-operate with the child's play. Nowadays parents send their children to summer camps. In these camps play predominates, but there is careful supervision. But many families cannot afford to send their children to these camps. Something should be done for the city children who must play in the street. The Child Study Association of America has been working on this problem and the results are worth noting. Nineteen Summer Play Schools were opened in New, York last year under its direction. There is a direct program that the children follow. •••.•• lt; While the kind of work that a child does in summer must differ radically from the kind of work he does in winter, more stress being laid oh play, at the same time he should always be subjected to discipline. Handwork, music and home-making projects are more suited for the summer time. This^ category may fall in line with Industrial Arts. There is also play, which is subject to certain rules in order to get the most fun out of it and to do the most good. . This, then, is another problem that the teacher may face and one which requires special training, both in playground supervision and professional skill —CD. —: -° :—- EBBA FREDERIGKSON PLAYS IN ASSEMBLY Ebba Frederickson, violinist, accompanied by Miss Hattie.

McFetridge, all local physicians, assisted by Mrs. May Mead, Mrs. Patrinia Smalley, and the secretary, Miss Iona Barbo. ; Miss Mead expressed the opinion that the general health during this summer quarter seems to be above the average. Only one student dropped out on account of ill health. She was not asked to leave, but it was advised that a discontinuance of studies during the summer would improve her condition. Miss Mead enthusiastically commented on the splendid physical condition of some of the older students, whose vim and vitality would surpass that of many of the younger students. One older . student has missed only two days from the schoolroom in twelve years. Another teacher has taught eight years, without losing a single day. When You Are Hungry and Want .

YE DIARY by G. W. L. ~* The Week at the State Capitol: Dr. Showalter's bill providing for a more proportional levying of school taxes, and for centralizing administration, was carried through the state house with little opposition Tuesday, of this week. Other provisions of the bill require the state to pay half of the cost of standard work and call for a minimum of eight months of school. A county board of education is to supersede the present office of the county superintendent of schools. Lawmakers are deciding right now whether compulsory military drill, R. O. T. C, shall continue to exist at the state college and university. W. S. N. S. Government statistics, also elaborated elsewhere in the Viking, show some interesting things about state normal schools. A half dozen normals in the east, particularly in Connecticut, have no men in their enrollments. One school has only one man attending classes. Other institutions have nearly 40% of men in them. There are more than two normals per state on the average; one state, Pennesylvania, has fourteen normals; several states have none at alL And of the 102 state normals, 17 are negro schools supplying the south with instructors. -—W. S. N. S. A student opinion in an Idaho college paper wants to know what is wrong with its freshman class. Rambling on, like most opinions, it claims that the yearlings have no cooperation from upper classes— sophs, juniors and seniors. Perhaps the trouble is with the upperclassmen; or better still, with the writer of the opinion. W. S. N. S. The University of Wisconsin, leading the "Big Ten" for basketball conference honors, is putting a final cinch on the title this week. W. S. N. S. An amendment raising the student activities fee of the Cheney Normal student from $2.50 to $3.50 is facing that student body today W. S. N. S.

NEW AM ENDMENT LAUNCHED BY OF Roy Arnett, Hamilton Church, and Johnny Byrnes are Working on Plans for Proposed Changes. APPLICANTS DESIRED The Position of Business Manager and Editor of Viking for Next Quarter to be Filled Soon. Competition Keen in Song Contest c*i.x n .rush Three student members of t he Board of Control, Roy Arnett, Hamilton Church and Johnny Byrnes, were authorized by t h a t body at its regular meeting Tuesday, February 26, to write up a new amendment at once to t he constitution of the Associated Students of Bellingham Normal. The amendment would limit term, lengths of members on the board, and would better apportion and regulate business coming before this group for all quarters. Thursday Meeting The board was scheduled to meet the second time this week, Thursday, February 28, to give "finishing touches" to t he new amendment before launching it into the' world of student politics. At this time Mr. Oscar Winther and Catherine Morse will give a short outline of what is to take place at the next quarterly banquet dated to come off near the end of this term. It was definitely announced in the Tuesday meeting that the board would not sell a certain six acres of the Normalstad acreage which is wanted by a buyer near the property. Guy Springsteel, all-school song contest manager, made an optimistic report concerning the school-wide contest, announcing that seven contributions had been received by him to date. He was given authority to extend a greater publicity program. Post Applications Notices for the applications of business manager and editor of the Northwest Viking were posted yesterday on t he main bulletin boards by the secretary, Roy Arnett. Those applying for these positions must have at least two quarters' work on the Viking, a good journalistic record, and the approval of the faculty advisor, Mr. H. E. Fowler. Applications must be turned in to the secretary of the Students' Association by Tuesday, March 5. Applicants are requested to appear in person before the board at the above mentioned time. Two-Hour "Rec" Hour ^ Because of the holiday February 22, two hours' time will be extended to the "rec" hour of Thursday, March 14, it was decided. Due to conflicts of the meeting times of t he Faculty Forum and the board, the latter body will probably change its first monthly meeting to Monday instead of Tuesday. The alumni are taking a great deal of interest in t he song contest and a number of contributions have been received .which show there will be some "keen" /competition from this source. To obtain an original all-school song of either loyalty or activity type, the board of control, through the contest committee, is offering the sum of $70 in awards. First, second and third prizes will be given according as the judges merit the contributions, which may consist of words or music, but preferably both. The contest rules are posted on the bulletin board on the main landing. Guy Springsteel, chairman of the contest, said that no contributions had been received from the faculty, but that they were eagerly looking forward to Mr. Kibbe's officially signed document. LONDONER'S PLEASE A LARGE AUDIENCE Tschaikowski's Andante Cantabile, From the Quartet in D, Especially Well Received. Under the auspices of the Bellingham State Normal School and the Bellingham Woman's Music club, the London String Quartet presented a most beautiful and unusual program in t he First Christian church last Tuesday evening at 8:15 o'clock. The quartet is made up of musicians, each of whom is 'an artist in his own right; John Pennington, 1st violin, Thomas Petre, second violin, H. Waldo Warner, viola,-and C. Warwick Evans, cello. Russian Quartet Exquisite The first number on their program was Tschaikowsky's exquisite "Quartet in D" in four movements. It is especially adapted to stringed instruments, and the Londoners were able to derive the most subtle meaning from the score. The second movement, Andante Cantabile, is one of the masterpieces of composition in musical history, and its almost incomprehensible beauty was drawn before the audience by the supple fingers of t he musicians. The Andante Cantabile almost recalls the works of t h e old German masters, but it savors more of the unique and verges on the modern. H. Waldo Warner's "The Pixy Ring" was probably the most popular number with the audience. Mr. Warner, who plays his viola in the quartet, is a composer of wide recognition. His fairy suite was evi- (Continued on Page Four) LIKE CO-OP, BELLINGHAM RATES FIRST IN U. S. SCHOOL" BLUEBOOK" By G. W. L. Latest statistics available from the government printing office at Washington, D. C , rate bellingham Normal first in enrollment of t he nation's one hundred and two state nornlal schools. Likewise, this school ranks first in library facilities, there being no school in any part of the United States able to contest honors for reading-room equipment. Standards are Highest. As for either entrance or graduation requirements, Bellingham again is placed at the top in the annual government report. Although a few schools in California, in the middle west and in t he far eastern states rank equally' high in these requisites with this institution, yet none has higher standards than those set up and fixed here. The state of Washington has only three state normals compared with the average four per state. Pensyl-vania leads with fourteen state schools, Wisconsin comes second with nine, and New York third with seven state normals. But that Bellingham Normal has a larger enrollment .than any school in the country does not mean that she has t he greatest property value of grounds and buildings. Figures show otherwise, for six state schools value their holdings at over a million dollars. Two normals in Pennsylvania have over two millions invested in grounds and buildings, and these schools have only about one thousand regular students. Although figures in the government account are not the very latest, over 2,200 resident students are accorded this school. This figure is based on a four-quarter term, excluding all duplicate students or courses. National Statistics Of the 402 teacher-training institutions, 101 are classified as teachers colleges, 102 as state normal schools, 27 as city normal schools, 108 as county normal schools, and 64 as private normal schools. One striking change in the teacher-training situation is in the growth ,WHERE ARE THE SEVEN KEYS TO BALDPATE? YOU HUNT FOR THEM (Continued on Page Four) A unique and interesting plan is to be carried out in the form of a hunt through the Normal school for the seven keys to Baldpate. From today until next Thursday afternoon all students are invited to carefully observe the nooks and corners of every hall in the main building. There are to be seven numbered keys laid in plain sight from some angle in the halls; thus no pictures will have to be torn down in the effort to find them. A special prize will be given for both the first key to be turned in and for the key which is the mysterious seventh one. For each one of the other keys found, two reserved seats will be given. Any one of the prizes will make the search very worth while for the finders. For those who are unsuccessful in the search for the keys, reserved seat tickets will be on sale on the main landing all next week. "Seven Keys to Baldpate," a melodramatic farce by George M. Cohan, is the play which the drama club has chosen for presentation in the winter quarter, on Thursday and Friday evenings, March 7 and 8 An abundance or tnrnis, mystery and adventures is promised. Under Mr. Hoppe's direction, the play will be one of the most outstanding melodramas presented here in r e cent years. The scene around which the action centers is a deserted, desolate spot, in fact, an inn, a summer resort closed for the winter. Magee, Franklin Locke William Hallowell Magee, a young novelist residing in New York City, has made a $25,000 bet with a friend that he could write a complete novel in twenty-four hours. His friend was: to choose a forsaken spot in which he could peacefully work. Being the owner of Baldpate Inn, he sent Magee there to work. Here, on a lonely mountain side, are laid some thrilling scenes. Screams, gun shots, ghosts and crooks maintain high tension from start to finish. The part of Magee is well portrayed by Franklin Locke. Joy Ef-teland is Mary Norton, a young newspaper reporter who comes to the inn to write up Magee's bet for her paper. Florence Kern plays t he part of Myra Thornhill, a "pure and simple" blackmailer. The other members of the cast appear as ghosts, hermits, crooks and murderers.

The amateur butcher who was macerating our features paused: "Well", he remarked, " I guess Spring is here." The old man looked more like the personification of Winter or Father Time to us, but questioning elicited the fact that each Spring he dropped into the barber ship for his annual haircut, and the barbers had gradually fallen into the habit of reckoning the season from his arrival. We had noticed the twittering of the birds, the somewhat warmer rains and the gentler breezes and had suspected that Spring might be with us, but now we know. It's official.—R. S.

BOOK REVIEW PIRATE TREASUR Philadelphia has started the year right by setting out to be. the world's first ungassed city since motor vehicles came into general use—at least so far as its six hundred in-terurban buses and more than three thousand taxicabs are concerned. Important to the general public and health authorities everywhere as is this fact, that all carbon monoxide given off by motors, though virtually eliminated, it is in the domain of mechanics merely incidental to the revelation that a way has been found to use fuel oil in any automotive -.engine that will have the same effectiveness as gasoline. If the United States used fuel oil for all their buses $50,000,000 would be saved. DEATH COMES FOR THE ARCHBISHOP. By Willa Cather. Published by Alfred A. Knopf: New York (1927). I n this unusual volume, Willa Cather has created an illusion of enchantment, almost of mystery, which grips the attention of the reader and causes him to believe that it is a great work. I n a way it is great; but only in its illusion. "Death Comes to the Archbishop" is a tale of the works done by the Jesuit Fathers during the middle of the nineteenth century. It is a soothing book, easy to read, and great in its beauty of word-pictures. Willa Cather has a power of description that is exceptional. She is able to create a visual picture of the deserts, the mountains, the mesas, the tin£ pueblos that all go to form the background of her story. Her plot is the story of Fathers Latour * and VaiUant, two heroic priests, whose deeds for the betterment of the arid country in which their mission is. Their story is fascinating, but sometimes one almost loses the thread of it in silent rapture over the tapestry-like background which is almost too beautiful. .The strain of the book is very similar to that caused by "The Bridge of San Luis Rey" in the setting and general feeling of mute beauty. Both the works are similarly impressive and the sensation they cause is. identical to the effect of a glorious sunset—the appreciation of perfect silence. .... IT'S A L L O V E R N OW With the final whistie of last week's Spokane College game the Viking basketball season for 1928-29 came to a close with a win for the local warriors. Although, during the past season, several games were dropped to Ellensburg and to the University of Washington Frosh, it was not without good hard, sportsmanlike fighting that the normal quintet, dauntless of spirit, reluctantly succumbed to the phenomenal skill and speed of its adversaries. Our opponents were*forced to recognize us as a slippery stepping stone and although we did not cop the coveted tri-nqrmal honors, we have at least one consolation—WE S U R E L Y G A V E E L L E N S B U R G A SCARE. Playful Pedagogs Find Suppressed Desires in Huge Treasure Receptacle; Prexy Draws a Spade. " S E V E N K E Y S" One of the most thrilling plays of modern times, by the ingenious and resourceful George M. Cohan, "Seven Keys to Baldpate" will be produced before gasping, spell-bound audiences next Thursday and Friday evenings. A medley of mystery, farce and intrigue, this play is an especially fine example of the American mystery play and has proved one of the outstanding dramatic successes of recent times. T h e cast, under the direction of Victor H. Hoppe, has spent many weeks of time and effort to put into "Seven Keys" all the action and expression necessary to give the normal audiences a play of high quality. Two capacity houses are expected next Thursday and Friday nights. We owe it to the Drama club, but especially to ourselves to see "Seven Keys to Baldpate." "Now is the accepted time," we are told and all would-be teachers should try to develop another necessary art, that of making written and personal applications. This type of letter writing, so different from-other forms used by teachers, requires skill which develops with experience. Uncle Sam notices the mail which he p i c b up around school is different than it used to be, as the subtle perfumed epistles have given way to the serious formal looking letters—even if it is spring. • The most casual observer among us notes the attempts—be they ever so futile—to assume that much desired professional air.

Come climb up on my knee and I'll sing it over for you before your mother comes to put you to With skull and crossbones, treasure chests, and liqueur at the pirate's den, the faculty members enjoyed an evening of thrills, Wednesday, February 27. The den is located on Chuckanut drive, and is better known as the Chuckanut Shell. The leaders of the gang were, Miss Theresa Gun-ther, Miss Lucy Kangley and Mr. Oscar Whither, who planned the entertainment for the evening in true pirate style. Programs printed on black paper cut to represent bottles were unique and the favors in tiny treasure chests were also in keeping with the plan of decoration. Following the dinner were such events as "Mar-chesa," a song by Miss Grace Moore, who made a charming French singer, M. Pegnoir and Mile. Appas-sionata (Mr. Ruckmick and Mr. Winther) in an Apache dance. "High Treason," the Kangaroo court with Miss Orpha MacPherson as judge. It is a great truth that "murder will out." At least Miss Beiswenger has been discovered in her attempts at inveigling school marms to leave home and sail with her on the high seas. President Fisher was reprimanded for spending too much' time on the "Mud-slinging Flat" at Olympia, and Miss Nora Cummins received her just dues for always talking about the "Leg of Nations". Kolstad Surprised. - The "Torreodor Song", sung by Mr. Kolstad, was brave and romantic. It was amusing however, that the bull seemed such a surprise to him. Captain Kidd's Kids were clever dancers, among which were Misses Kathleen Skalley, Helen Dozier and Grace Sullivan. Their first number was the "Sailor's Hornpipe" and the second the "Pirate's Dance". Treasure Trove was a chest which contained suppressed desires of teachers. Dr. Miller has consistently suppressed the idea that psychology is all bologne but at last it has passed the barriers of his subconscious mind. The spade and bucxe;; for gold-digging may have been a happy find for President Fisher, and the fruit of the family tree in the form of a Jonathan apple was a revelation to Mr. Philippi. The rest of the evening was spent in social dancing. Most of the members of the faculty were present and all reported an unusually pleasant evening. . 9 I t has recently been proved that fish build nests. These are more or less analogous to those of birds. These nests can be divided into seven classes: Nests selected by chance, prepared nests, woven nests, nests of foam, nests of "beads" and living nests. ' " This is a late photo—taken today, in fact.

We just take it for granted thai the Vikings were at better team. At any rate the Viking only lost four out of twelve games played. That is a record to be unashamed of. Now that basketball is over, the coaches figure to take a little rest before the track and baseball seasons get started. We see them resting from then- toils by checking over the equipment for the spring sports by the light of the midnight candles. * * * * The Super Varsity finished up the Class A championship race with a win over the nearest contender for the pennant.

With a burst of speed in the second half, the fast moving Kitchen Krew was able to down the Men's club five 32-24 in the first game to decide the winner of the first half in the intramural basketball league. With this victory to their credit the Krew boys face the Co-op quintet next Monday. The three teams were tied for first place at the end of the first. frame. The Kitchen Krew won the second half with four wins and no defeats. The game played Monday was a fast floor game with good passing favoring the dorm boys. Score 13-13 at Half At the end of the first half the score stood 8 to 13. With the opening of the second half the-Kitchen Krew boys scored two field goals and were never headed from then on. Stickney and Gaither were tied for high point honors with 12 tallies each. Both men played a good brand of ball and were dangerous whenever within scoring range. The Line-up for Monday's game was: Kitchen Krew: Johnson and came out ahead in the win column for the half mark. By their 47 to 38 win over the Roland Wrecker five Monday evening the Normalites cinched the second half title and the cup offered by Weisfield and Goldberg. • The Supers grabbed the lead after the first few minutes of play and from then on were never headed. Both teams played good close basketball and had the outcome of the game in doubt until the final minutes of play. The Vikings demonstrated their superiority in pass-from Oregon State 35 to 28. The Huskies have yet to suffer their first defeat this year. The Washington hoopsters won the game with their traditional spurt in the. last minutes of the game. With but seven minutes to play the score stood 28 all, then Washington sank 3 baskets and a free throw.

I n the other events, Coach Carver has unearthed several men who he thinks should come through in a winning form. All in all, spring sports are taking on a championship air, even this early. 0 : Washington's birthday falling on Friday gave an extra long week end to vacationists, and among those taking trips over the past week end were Miss Margaret Mc- Kinnon and Miss Olive Gunderson of the registrar's office, who went to Seattle; Miss Grace Sullivan, of the physical education department, who visited in Spokane, and Miss Helen Dozier, also of the same department, who made a trip to Vancouver, B.

A committee will go early to build fires and make coffee. Each girl is asked to bring her own lunch and not forget some kind of meat to cook over the camp fire. Members of the hiking party are reminded to bring books which will be read around the camp fire in the afternoon, weather permitting.

Fowler of the English department, gave a talk before i5e student body of the Lynden High School last Thursday on Gcwge Washington, with especial mention of the efforts of recent bi-ojptphers to "de-bunk" Washington. His point was that students should read biographies fairly and clearly, neither taking for granted the super-human perfection depicted by Weems nor the muckraking of Hughes, but to judge Washington by his contribution to the progress of t h e world. - o HOBBIES DISCUSSED "Vicarious Enjoyment Among Most People", Bookmick. Prevalent Says Mr. "It is a fact that most people are satisfied with 'second-hand' recreations," said Herbert R. Ruckmick in his talk on "Hobbies" in the Women's League assembly, today at eleven o'clock. Mr* Ruckmick further enlarged upon his subject in the statement to the effect that the majority of persons were content with automobiles, movies and other types of monrecreative recreation. He suggested many hobbies that are of a really creative type, and these he divided into two groups; indoor and outdoor: Among his suggestions • were ajl types of collections, nature study, photographic work, camp craft, hiking and many others. _ Fashion Show Announced Naomi Chase, president of the .: Women's League, announced the annual Sprng Fashion Show which . will be presented in the Spring ; quarter with the co-operation of the Men's Club. Elizabeth Brodt is writing the skit for the play. Two vocal solos, "Indian Love Call', by Friml, and "Since We , parted" by Allitsen were sung by . Catherine Morse with Sidney Thai as accompanist. RENOWNED SOPRANO IS WELL RECEIVED Humorous Selection of English- American Origin Gets Response from Audience. Committee Announces Competitive Exams FIRM CLEAR VOICE Miss Cecile Evans Speaks to Teachers "Children's Literature" was the subject of a talk given by Miss Cecile Evans, children's librarian, at a meeting of the city grade teachers held in the faculty reading room of the library on February 26. Miss Evans discussed the various types of literature and their place in the classroom. She also passed out reading lists of books best suited to the curriculum. ; o GIRLS PLAN USE OF MODERNISTIC IDEA Elaborate Program is Prepared to Carry Out t he Novel Plan. Ethelynde Smith, renowned soprano, was presented in an entertaining recital in last Tuesday's assembly. She was accompanied by Edith R. Strange of the normal faculty. The French Aria, "Je Dis Que Rien Ne M' Epouvante," from the opera "Carmen," by the master-composer, Bizet, was perhaps her most important number, but, t h r o u g h her interpretation it seemed to lack spirit and life. Tn Espera Fine Perhaps the number which displayed her technique and clarity of voice was "Tu Espera," from Habanera by Sanchez Tuentes. She sang it with that certain vivacity that characterizes the fiery Spanish dance. She sang several foreign selections from the French, German and Spanish songs in which her enunciation was plainer than the songs which she sang in English. * Humorous Selections The humorous numbers of both American and English origin were exceptionally well • received. "The Long Tail Blue," arranged by G. Grant Schaefer, and "Oh No, John," an English air, arranged by Cecil Sharpe, showed this talent of rendering humorous selections. Her program concluded with four songs of Youth of which "The Icicle," by Basset,, and "There Are Fairies at the Bottom of Our Garden" captured the hearts of her audience. As an encore, Miss Smith sang the "False Prophet," by Scott, which seemed to sum up her technique, her ability to sustain her notes and the splendors of her naturally firm, clear voice. The Educational committee of the League of Nations association announces two national competitive examinations on t he League of Nations for 1929, one for normal school students and one for high school students. For the normal school examination, Dr. Bruce R. Payne, of the George Peabody College for Teachers, is chairman of the National Advisory committee, and Dr. Thomas Alexander of Teachers' College in New York, is chairman of the committee on awards. The rules regarding the examination and date will 'be announced later. The first prize offered is a trip to Europe. o The Philos Present Interesting Program NORMAL STATISTICS (Continued from Page One) "Modernistic" will be the theme of the Outside Girls' Informal to • be held in the dining room of Edens Hall, March 9, at 8:30 p. m. The several committees who have been working with Catherine Morse, chairman, have created plans to express the most modern tendencies in lighting effects, programs and decorations. The lighting effect will be carried out so that weird rays coming from the lights will lend color to the art and modernistic paintings which will be hanging from the walls. Girls, under the direction of Ouida Davidson, have been working at t he lights and decorations for some weeks. Programs Follow Theme Programs for t h e dance are being designed by Katherine Rood and will follow the trend of the idea. Katherine Friese is head of the committee for arranging programs for the faculty. She is being assisted by Jean Philippi, Mary Elizabeth Fowler and Margaret Morrison. Music for the quarterly event of the outside girls will be furnished by Jay. Curtis and his Melody Makers, well known local musicians often said to be the best in the city. The program for the dance consists of fifteen dances, with one extra, these being divided into six waltzes and nine fox trots and drags. Out of the one hundred and thirty girls who have signed for reservations for the winter informal, only one. hundred and t en can be allowed to attend as the hall will "hot hold over that amount; ^^^^^^^MiM^X^ MM^MM of teachers colleges. In 1920, 4 teachers colleges taken from the college and" university list, 4 private normal schools, Brigham Young University, and 37 former state normal schools were included in the teachers college list, making a total of 46 in 1920. In 1922, the teachers college list was increased to include 80 schools. In 1924, 88 institutions, and the latest addition shows 101 institutions to be on the list of teachers colleges. Many states have small city and county normal schools. Men Waver Percentage Contrary to popular belief, the number of men enrolled in normal schools have not increased as fast in proportion as the number of women. In round numbers about 110,- 000 men are attending teacher training institutions, contrasted to the 400,000 women. Ratios of women and men in the nation give 3% women to 1 man, which is exactly the same as that existing at present in Bellingham Normal during regular sessions. Another astounding fact is that of the 102 state normal schools, 17 are schools with enrollments entirely of colored students and faculty. These, of course, are in the south. But there is a small school of colored students as far north as Chey-ney, Pennsylvania. CHILDREN WITNESS EIGHTH GRADE PLAY Children Choose Play for Which They Make Colorful Costumes. Student Teachers Assist. "A Good Time Had by All" in French Club At the Philo meeting which was held Thursday evening in the club room of Edens Hall, the program featured a book report on "Blessed Pan" given by Ruth Sammons.

A new athletic field that - w i l l rank with the best m the Northwest, -will-be the property of Bellingham State Normal in the near future it present plans materialize and the necessary funds can be provided. How soon the field will be ready, however, is mere guesswork at present, as the president's office will not give out even ^ tentative date for its completion; it seems highly probable however, that the fall of 1 9 2 9 will see it finished and in use. A s a part in the building program of the school the new field will ife located across Sehome Drive from W a l d o Field, on t h e i a n d that i\f n ow being cleared away and leveled. It is to cover about four acres • J separate football and baseball fields adjacent to each other, with the baseball diamond farther away from the road. Waldo Field will be reserved for track and women's sports. .$._- — - — With present plans calling for tlie completion of the new tennis courts some time this year and the erection of a gymnasium, two or three years should see Bellingham Normal in the possession of an exceptional athletic plant. When the proposed units are added, there will be ample space for t h e carrying-on of a comprehensive physical education and athletic program for t h e benefit of a d students. . " George A. Dack, head gardener, is in charge of a crew of four men now at work clearing the site of the new field, in preparation for its grading. The crew will be occupied for some time in blasting stumps and slashing away brush, but Mr. Dack anticipates t h a t the clearing and grading will be finished this summer, if t h e work is pushed, steadily.

Next Tuesday morning, John Van Druten. popular British playwright and lecturer, will appear in assembly to address the students on "Mak-ing- a-play Technique and Construction", a subject which has scored with every audience to whom it has been presented. Mr. Van Druten is a young man of twenty-four and a very billiant lecturer. He has a very striking and engaging personality which immedia t e l y wins and holds the audience throughout his lecture. He became an international figure in the theatrical season of 1925-26 through the success of t h e New York stage of his f i r s t play "Young Wood-ley" and a few months later he had established on the American lecture p l a t f o rm a fame that has matched - h i s unique place in the theatrical annals. / Facing what is probably one of the stiff est games of the season the Bellingham Normal Vikings will do b a t t l e with the Columbia University five of Portland, Oregon, tomorrow night on the Whatcom High school floor at *S:00 o'clock, in the last appearance of Coach Sam Carver's basketeers this season. This game will also mark the final appearance for their Alma Mater of some of the Blue and White men.

The son-inHaws of Ezra Meeker are rated on a par with the College of Puget "Sound and other strong quintets of the south, having defeated Conzaga and the St. Martin lads. Last Game of Year With many of the Vikings playing their last game for the Blue and White, it will probably be their best, and t h e ' t u s s l e • h a s all indications of being a real battle. The probable starting line-up for the Vikings will be Keplinger and McClurken, forward: Isaacson and Benson guards; and Thorscn, s t a r t i ng center. "The game s t a r t s promptly at S:00 o'clock. There will be no preliminary contest. CARRIE TUCKER With headquarters in the Auditorium, "The Poor Nut" arrives for a two-night stay, tonight and Saturday. The Drama Club is presenting as its quarterly dramatic offering this comedy of modern youth and of college life in what is probably its initial appearance on the amateur stage. When t h e - c u r t a i n rises at 8:15 p. m. this evening, those who will see the opening performance, will be greeted by a play about people 'with whom they arc familiar, for it is"* a story of college life, with a college seting, and about college people. It is a farce to all intent and purposes, i t s aim is to produce laughter, and such must be accomplished ere the play can be termed successful. Authors Have Scored J. C. Nugent and Elliott Nugent, co-authors, have scored heavily with the vehicle on the professional stage. The part of the '-Poor Nut" was played by Elliott Nugent thus having given the original production the advantage of having the part designed for a specific character. The play combines many elements of pure farcical nature with some, clever takeoffs on Freudian psychology and psychoanalysis and succeeds on. the whole in having a great deal of fun with the subject. In direct contrast is "The Poor Nut," with "The Children .of the Moon" offered last quarter, and of the general type of play'' so often encountered nowadays. Don Marquis, New York critic says of i t : '"The Baughman to Build Large Addition on Present Store Cleo C. Baughman, proprietor of Baughman's, Incorporated, just across from the new library, received a building permit last Saturday to build a $12,000 addition to his present building, corner of Garden Terrace and High street. . When the new annex is completed t h e Baughman building will have a frontage of 116 feet on High street. The plans will include somewhat the same features which the present building contains except that there will be a much larger booth room and an additional 4,000 square feet of floor space, for a confectionery and drugs. Mr. Baughman is a former student of the Normal" a n d was for a time manager of the student's bookstore here. "ABRAHAM LINCOLN" TO APPEAR MARCH 5 President C. H . Fisher Secures the Famous Work of the English Playwright, John Drinkwater. Cabinet Meeting Held Miss Frieda Aasey, Y. W. C. A. president and cabinet members of t h e Y. W. C. A., of the S t a t e Normal school held a business meeting Mond a y evening. y ' N ew members were voted to help with the work of the various departments. Reports by the chairman .of''•' the various departments were r e a d and approved. ''''•'-' President C. IT. Fisher, of the Bellingham Normal school, announces that he has booked for present a t i o n at the American theater on Monday, March 5, one performance of John Drinkwater's "Abraham Lincoln." The cast will comprise a group of New York a r t i s t s appearing under . t h e management of the Associated Artist's Bureau, of Denver, Colorado. The play will be given under the auspices of the Normal school. There are six scenes, covering the period between !S(i() and 1865. Management of the company is in the hands of A. M. Oberf elder,' who as head of the Associated Artists' Bureau at Denver during the past few years has brought that city to the front as ;one of the leading cent e r s in the Middle West for patronage of better class music and drama. BOB WAGNER contribution of this play is t h a t it shows several millions of young men and women, from Maine to Oregon, a t a glance, living joyously and youthfully in the midst of this fort u n a t e environment and breathing and floating in this atmosphere and shows them truly, and with an understanding that is both penetrating and genial. It is not uncritical to their obvious faults, but it does not falsify their essential spirit. The particular problems of the hero are in themselves a criticism of the life in which he finds himself: it would have been possible to predicate the same set of facts and t u r n the story i n to a soul's tragedy—but it would have been no truer to things that are. Personally I like it better for not ending with a vista of wreck and ruin, or having anywhere in it the suggestion of the corpse of an illegitimate baby carried out in an ash-can." The story itself concerns one John .Miller, an awkward, bashful, serious-minded chap, who aspires to do great things and be a big man in college, but who is only referred to by associates as "the Poor Nut." With this s t a r t add a track meet, the arrival of the opposing team's captain and his fiancee, who is a beauty contest winner, and things begin to happen. This play is different from the usual Drama club play, also, in t h a t it utilizes the entire membership of the club. Further attraction is furnished by the appearance of a part of the Viking track team.

What is needed in the student body is an attitude of mind, a sense of values through which they can judge things in the light not only of present but future expediency, not only of personal but of group desirability. Students and youth at large are too prone to rebel at the thing which seems hard' to them at the moment. We were urged in the last assembly to adopt a wide perspective in thinking of nations and peoples. In like respect we need such an attitude toward this school. We should remember that what we say and what we do will be judged and evaluated by the outside world. Our actions as individuals will be interpreted as typical actions of the entire group. One of the surest marks of an educated person is that he respects and learns from the greater experience of any person. . In this issue there appears a student opinion on the attendance regulations and numerous and sundry other rules imposed by the faculty. The viewpoint expressed, that perhaps the faculty are taking the wrong method to accomplish the education of their students, deserves real consideration. Are students who graduate from this school going to be properly equipped for the task of teaching the children? Will they have learned to take responsibility and to stand on their own? We doubt very much whether habits formed in two years will carry over, particularly when they have been acquired at the swords point, figuratively speaking, of various regulations. Buggy Bud's famous book on Etiquette. Do you know the correct manner of treating your fiance, or would you as the young man in the above pictuie commit a terrible faux pas by offering her an ice cream cone with the left instead of the right hand. If you were suddenly crowned president of the U. S. (everyone has a chance, you know) what would be the proper way to thank the populace? Should you apologize when you miss your guest's cuspidor or just pretend not to notice? When your partner cheats in a poker game, should you say "naughty, naughty" or shoot him on the spot (any spot will do)? What is the most effective thing to say when your collar button slips and falls under the dresser? These and many more baffling questions on etiquette are answered in Bud's new book entitled, "WHAT TO SAY, AND WHY NOT." Did you ever try to judge people by looking at their feet or the way they walk? Perhaps you have been sitting where all that you could see of a person is his feet. To conjecture about the manner of person possessing them is interesting and entertaining, but not authentic. Yet it is as practicable as the judgment we often pass on people. To state an opinion or place an estimate on a person from first meeting, or to judge a public man's ability from one action is unfair. ,The fact that a person's shoes are unshined may indicate that he is shiftless or slovenly but does not justify an assertion to that effect. In the same way we cannot say that a person is this or that on the basis of single impressions. WE HEARD THAT (With apologies to K. C. B.)

Many students like myself, have been watching the trend of school politics with a great deal of interest and a little dissatisfaction. We have been watching one regulation follow another in quick succession; first the attendance regulations, then the new assembly laws and lastly this business of cheating with its results. All these rules have grown up to meet a definite situation. We heartily agree that there were and are conditions around the school which need remedying. We concede that many students were artists at "getting by" with absences. We noticed and blushed for some conduct in assembly and we know, as all students do, that there are many students not playing the game when it comes to achievement tests. This far almost any of us will agree. We concede that for the good of our future pupils, bur profession and ourselves, that teachers should not "get by" with such conduct. But what some of us wonder is where ai-e some of our regulations taking us? GRAND The Grand Theater is starting a new. .policy-making, four complete changes every week. The first, three will be screened at their popular price of fifteen cents, the fourth, however, will be a de luxe show of first quality and will be shown on Saturday and Sunday for twenty-five cents. The Grand hopes by this policy to create public confidence in its attractions and will offer some,of the real big pictures of the year, since heretofore the producers of the big plays have not allowed such shows to be screened for a lower admission price. The Grand has secured under contract with its new policy such pro-, ductions as "Wild Geese", "Gateway of the Moon" "Legionnaires in Paris", "Chicago at Midnight", "Beau Geste", "The Wizard" and many other that have not as yet been released. 'and Skeeter Hartwell, a clever eccentric dancers; and also to cap the .climax the revue will ;offer Tommy Atkins'" famous Sextet, six specialists in dancing arid singing. "Folliettes" will be one of the best revues of the season the management of the Mount' Baker promises. SCANDAL Last Friday evening the big gym was the scene of a scandalous frolic. The faculty is up in arms about it and can you blame them? Look at the picture above of one of the dancing girls who appeared upon that night of nights. "Terrible", you say, and we agree. It is indeed a shame that such an affair as the upper classmen minuet should be the occasion for such base immorality. As you can readily see, this young lady has shamefully allowed at least an inch of her petticoat to show and one of her ankles is quite vulgarly exposed. Things are getting beyond the control of the better element... Immorality, with its tenacious tallons dripping, is creeping into our midst. We must see the dean of women about this. E. C. C. Junior High School is Recent Development As a result of a study conducted under the auspices of the State Board of Education by W. M. Kern of Walla Walla it was learned that the junior high school movement in the State of Washington must be regarded as the outstanding change in the educational program during the present century. • Due to the dissatisfaction with the waste and inefficiency of the old grammar grade system, and due to the fact that older European nations have met and solved these educational problems this change owes its existence., Any reform, and reorganization must justify itself by its aims and accomplishments. The new Junior high school system aims, among other things, to'promote departmental instruction with regard to the varied intelligences of the students. Ungraded rooms for the retarded, vocational and educational guidance, promotion by subject^ and acceleration of the more capable pupils are on the program.. In fact, the junior high school at its best will exhibit certain other noteworthy features. 59 in Washington Replies from letters sent out to the various county superintendents show that there ' a r e 59 junior high Amazing New Invention BICYCLE.... BUILT.. FOR. TWO PASSES INTO THE BACKGROUND WITH THIS STARTLING NEW INVENTION ON THE MARKET. Scientists make it possible, by this new attachable device, to take the entire family for Sunday excursions. Just stick Willie on the front and Rosie on behind and pedal away. This 1850 model is a great improvement over the old fashioned 1849 double action duplex—WAIT FOR THE NEW MODEL. It is not possible that such things are results of some deeper cause? Is it not possible that inflicting punishment or making regulations is like applying ointment to the rash when you get measles? You may coArer up the rash, but will it cure the disease? A student who tries to get away with things has missed the point of his training. He is not working for self improvement but for something else. His disease is a mistaken viewpoint. What he needs is not punishment but help. If he lias arrived as far as Normal school without formulating ideals of his | own, lie deserves sympathy. In our work in the training school, we are constantly reminded: "Remember, you are not teaching arithmetic or reading or spelling, but children." The same principle, I believe, should apply here. Only insofar as we are made to feel a problem and are permitted to work out our own -solution will we be benefitted, [f the students are made to feel the problem and are given an opportunity to work it out for themselves, L believe there will be less cheating. We have a right to the same consideration as the children.' We want to be led, not driven. Even if regulations come from above, should they not at least be with the consent of the governed? There are in this school many teachers who can and do have a tremendous influence with the students. If some of this leadership were, directed toward helping students in formulating ideals, T believe the regulations would be unnecessary. I have seen one teacher, in two minutes talk with a class, do more toward correcting an evil than any regulation can do. I have had teachers who, in grade school, left the room during an examination with this remark, "Every boy and girl in this room is being left on his or ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1928 February 24 - Page 3 ---------- mfis W^HfNGTOh^StAl^NQRMAk SCHOOL: BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON TWO NORMAL MEN WIN POSITIONS ON MYTHICAL QUINTET McClurken and Clark Chosen on First Five.

On the second team, two each from the Roland Wreckers and Normal ranks, and one Association player gain positions. Baker Lumber collar champs in both halfs, fails to place a man on either team. McClurken and Herb are given the forward posts on the first quintet; McBeath and Thorsen being second choices. Herb was probably the outstanding forward in the Class A loop, while McBeath and McClurken were close behind. Thorsen, although playing center the greater part of the season, has on occasions performed in a forward berth and would work well with the combination chosen. Earl Jewell was the unanimous choice for center, with Leach, sparkplug of the Roland Wrecker squad getting the call for the second team. . Clark and Harris easily outshone other guards of the circuit, Clark with his splendid floor play and close checking, while Harris guarded closely and was always a scoring threat, outpointing his man in many games. The men for the other two defense positions were hardest to select, Anderson and Simonson finally being given the positions. First Team Forward, Herb (Y. M. C. A.) Forward, McClurken (Normal).

A. quintet mets the highly touted Oregon Mohawks in a game that will be the turning point of the Webfooter's invasion. With several all coast men in their lineups the Oregonians will not lack for height or experience, as their whole crew averages about six feet with their lanky center standing six feet seven. They are just completing a tour of Western Washington, having defeated some strong opposition this season. The Y. M. C. A. winners of the City Class A league will throw their strongest line-up in the fray, possibly using Earl Jewell, star center, who has been laid up with injuries since mid-season. Brinkman, Ferndale flashes, no men of proven ability, are as yet available. With six lettermen in school and and Wingard, chucker of last year's team, expected to return, a nucleus for andther championship baseball team will be on hand for the first turnout. A dependable receiver and another pitcher are needed badly, and if they can be found or developed, the Viking diamond artists will enjoy another successful season. Keplinger, McClurken, and Wiley will be out for infield jobs; Thorlak-son, Isaacson and Stickney for outfield posts. Wingard is the only pitcher. Hopes for a winning tennis team are considerably brighter than in other spring sports. Fisher and Thai, net aces of last year are back and with such reserves as Norby, Herniseri, Bond and several others practicing daily, a good net season is assured. Something new in the way of foul shooting is being conducted among the men of this school with - three big prizes offered to the winners who can shoot the most fouls in twenty-five tries. Fifty-two men have signed up for the inter-school affair with the lists rapidly increasing. Three Prizes To the winners of the contest goes three prizes. The first prize is the choice between a baseball, a pair of track shoes, or a baseball glove. Second prize is a ticket and transportation to the High School basketball tournament to be held in Seattle on March 8, 9, and 10. Third prize is two tennis balls, donated by the Co-op. Plan on Contest The contest is under the tutelage of Sam Carver and will be open to any man who wishes to enter. The contestants will be given twenty-five tries and any one who makes fifteen of his free throws, qualifies for the finals. In the finals the three highest men win. In case of a tie twenty- five additional shots will be used to decide the deadlock and the high man wins.

Trackmen are begining to awaken their legs from the long winter sleep that is fast passing. They are out every afternoon trying to get in good early spring condition. The Vikings face a strenuous track season this year as they hope to win the trinomial track meet. Tennis and baseball aspirants are limbering up their arms in order that they may do justice to the coming competition. The Viking tennis teams of the past have never dropped a .match to either of the other two Normal schools in this state. However, past history doe's not affect present possibilities.

' "Lots of fun and a big time" were the expressions used by the .mem- Ibera of the Gaveland Pulpit club to describe their combination, initiation and club social affair held last Saturday evening in the social rooms of Edens Hall. i The rooms were beautifully decorated in red, white and blue, with a soft light effect to create an informal attitude. A new style of initiation was given to the eight new members, in the form of speeches given by officers and old members of the club. The new members, then signed the constitution and duly became members of the club. Edwin Benedict, president, spoke upon the needs and the purpose of the club. Miss Lytle spoke on the relationship of the term gavel to the club, while Miss Poyhonen spoke on the part that the pulpit has played in the history of debating. The term originated in early times when men gathered ground ~to speak or argue in open forums or debating societies at which there was always the pulpit where the judge or chairman always sat. • After the speeches, the remainder of the evening was spent in playing games, after which refreshments were served. Mr. H. E. .Fowler, newly chosen club advisor, was present at the club social. SUMAS HIGH DISTRICT DEBATING CHAMPIONS New Officers for laming Semester Paul P. Wells, Jr., was elected president of • the School Service club of the eighth grade, in the semester election held last Friday. Other officers elected were: Gerald Brown, vice president; and Annabelle Fairbanks, secretary-treasurer. The editorial staff for the Junior Messenger was chosen at the same time. Muriel Townley will edit the paper for the coming semester, while Everett Cliston will be business manager. The reporters have been selected, and have made their first rounds of their "beats" introducing themselves to the individual sources of news. ' A formal constitution of the Service club has been drawn up, an unwritten set of ^-rules having previously been the guide of action. The constitution specifies as the purpose .of the club, "To help solve several school problems." * Questions arising either in the class, in other rooms, or in the training school as a whole are the problems which this club will seek to solve. The constituiton, according to Miss Bertha Crawford, training teacher of the eghth grade, will make the children "feel more respect for their club." Committees for the coming term were also selected. These committees are: Library, bulletin board, service, program, room, and fire drill. Attention is called to the fact that the fire drill committee is composed of the Boy Scouts in the class. o NORMAL Y. W. C. A.

Yet I find myself fostering the brainchild of as aggressive a pair of columnists as ever, ramped over the front page of a Normal school publication. So, not knowing what else to do with it, I shall take the little roughneck and make a gentleman out of Nonnalite. W. S. N. S.- Last week in assembly Nathan •Stewart rendered a program of baritone solos. After several groups from the recognized literature of music, he sang "Old Man River", from "Showboat". Whereas his first numbers stimulated a serious and appreciative response, the applause following "Old Man River" was deafening, and the artist was held several minutes after the bell rang for dismissal, which is an extraordinary occurrence for the student body. We will grant that our assembly concerts are gradually raising the level of student appreciation for the values of pure, music, but since an artist should also move his audience by vibrating the most responsive chords in us, then "Old Man River" was the best concert number that has been heard in the auditorium in some little time. We wonder if there wouldn't be more of these semi-popular pieces on cur concert programs if there were fewer of the critical "intellectuals" in the audience. We would like to see this sort of thing recommended to our entertainers, with the request that they replace some of their Arias with some of our Songs. We would probably have more of "Old Man River" if it could be run on the program as "Ber Alte Herr Fluss Des Schauboot". - rW.'S. N. S.

Here is a little editorial we read last week. It is worthy of consideration. "Speaking at a college conference at New York, Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, Secretary of the Interior and former president of Leland Stan-for Junior university, declared that the four-year college., course., has served its time and is dropping out of the picture. He added that the A. B. degree is also going. "Dr. WilDur shows that he is cognizant of a fact that is still beyond the view of the great mass of myopic educators. They were brought up under the old freshman-sophomore-junior- senior system, and they feel —not think—that it expresses the last word cf wisdom just because it is old and venerable, not to say out of date. If the gropers for a system in the old days had hit upon a five-year college course that would be urged on us today by colleges for the same reason. Miss Anna Ullin is teaming a rather extraordinary advanced German class this quarter, consisting mainly of faculty members as pupils. Among these are: Misses Nora B. Cummins and Ruth Kangley, and Messrs. Edward Amtzen, H. E. Fowler, and Harold B. Smith. o President C. H. Fisher delivered an address in Mount Vernon last Tuesday morning before an assembly of the Junior College. The assembly was held in the high school auditorium. The outstanding dance of the year as to originality and novelty will be the women's informal to be given at the Crystal ballroom of the Leopold hotel, February 28. The dance will be a source of surprises from the programs to the decorations and entertainment. An unusual surprise stunt will be given during intermission which will climax the night's program. Tickets Sold Out Although 150 tickets were placed on sale, the entire group is practically gene, showing an unusual interest among the students in the dance. Programs have gone to print but will not be ready to be given out until late next month. The programs will carry out the Night Club idea, which will predominate in the decorations and entertainment, in brilliant colors. Girls will be able to get programs to match their dresses because of the variety of colors. Work on the dance, as. a whole, is progressing nicely, according to Dorothy Sasse, general chairman. Others en the different committees are: Ruth Shepherd, program and decorations; Margaret Morrison, Katherine Friese, Mary Elizabeth Fowler, " Louisette Bergeron, Lois Slater, Ruth Sammons, and Blanche Gordon, tickets. Erickson Speaks to Primary Teachers Miss Emma Erickson of the Normal faculty, was the main speaker at the regular meeting of the Bel1 lingham primary council, held Thursday, January 16. The council consists of all the primary teachers in the city grade schools. "The individual child and his animosities", was the subject of Miss Erickson's talk, in which she spoke on the causes of this misfit child's failure in school and the possible remedies. She showed the necessity of recognizing this individual and treating him accordingly. One of the most brilliant members of the violin world, Efrem Zimbalist. will appear at the First Christian Church in a concert next Monday at 8:15 p. m., under the auspices of the Bellingham .Normal school and the Bellingham Women's Music club. Although he was born in Russia he is now a citizen of the United States and has a winter home in New York and a summer home in Connecticut where he and his wife, the former Alma Gluck, renowned soprano, live happily with their two children. * Showed Talent Early Zimbalist showed his remarkable music gifts so young that at nine years of age he became the first violinist in a grand opera orchestra, i n the autumn of 1903, at the age of fourteen, his father sent him to the Imperial Conservatory in Petrograd, where he studied under Professor Leopold Auer. He was graduated with high honors having won the coveted gold medal and the Rubenstein scholarship of 12,000 rubles. He made his Boston debut with the Symphony orchestra there, giving his first concert in America of Glazounow's "A Minor Concert". Many Novelties He has introduced two American concertos, that of Schelling and Powell, and one by Frederick Stock. He 'enlisted the aid of Josef Hof-mann, Sergei Rachmaninoff, Gabri-lowitsch, Siloti, Achron and Stasse-witsh at a concert which he sponsored in honor of his former teacher, Leopold Auer, in 1925. The most striking moment of the evening came when Zimbalist and Jascha Heifetz played a triple concerto with Leopold Auer, who still plays with the art and fire cf his virtuoso days.

What's in a name? Usually one name is as good as another, but in some cases misleading names are either very tragic or, going to the other extreme, they result in jokes. Now, when is an "Informal" not ah "Informal"? Everytime some organization up here sponsors a quarterly dance and dubs it "INF O R M A L " . True, the dances given up here are not altogether formal, only half so in that the girls wear evening dress and the majority of the men do not. At a school of this size it is only fair that the men should not be required to wear dress suits, but girls are expected and want to wear their evening gowns. Well, there is no argument there—only in this name, "Informal". The dance need not go to the other extreme and acquire the title of "Formal", but just plain "dance" would be better or perhaps some clever, creative person might be able to think up an original title that would fit. The evening's entertainment certainly cannot properly be called an "Informal" nor will "Formal" be any better—-something just between the two. •' . Is it just a habit, a rut that we have fallen into that makes us hang to that out-of-date name, "Informal"? Maybe the.dances were at one time informal, but they certainly are not any more. Women's League, you've always been leaders in progress, snap out of your lethargy and coin a new name for your dance and keep, al\ove all, that incorrect title, "Informal" O U T of your programs. ' Think, the beaulfiul setting of the new crystal ballroom, girls in lovely, graceful dresses, programs, soft lights, the music—Good heaven's, and you call it "Informal"! W e ; (and I think I am safe in speaking for ihe majority of the members) want a new name for our quarterly dance. Can't some euggestions be made or some names be suggested at the meeting of the Women's League next Friday morning ? This coming dance distinguished by the "Night Club Idea", promises to make real history for the Womens League. All the members of the League are eagerly anticipating this social event and want nothing to mar the glamor of the evening and isn't it true that the name "Informal" detracts from the charm of the evening? o O U R MUSICAL W E EK Next week promises to be a banner week in the history of Normal's musical course since it includes two, concerts by world -renowned musicians. The first recital, next Monday evening at the First Christian Church, will be given by Efrem Zimbalist. He is one of the greatest violinists living today and plays on one of the four existing Stradivarian violins. It is. a concert that not one cf us should miss. The second concer":, which will come two days later, Wednesday, will be presented by the famous CarleLon Symphony Band at ihe Mount Baker Theater and is certainly an event in the musical world of the Norlhwest. Both of these entertainments are sponsored by the Normal and the local Women's Music club. These concerts will make musical history in the Northwest, and it is desired that every Normal member attend. Student tickets anmit, so there is little rearon for not going. We are sure our instructors will be lenient and forgiving if lessons are somewhat hastily prepared on the"-following days. For after all, we seldom get to hear musicians of this type and fame in our lifetime. . M O R E S T U D E N T S A R E T R I U M P H A NT This morning in assembly, you listened to a very fine recital by our own students. It is this kind of numbers that makes us feel bur student body is worth while and a great deal of praise is'due those who participated. We are anxious to have more of these "home talent" assemblies. D U R E N C E A U FOLIO IS A D D E D T O COLLECTION The Art department has added a valuable book to its already interesting collection of art objects. It is a folio of twenty-four colored pages of modern decorative art designs by Andre Durenceau, formerly of Paris, but now living in the United "States, having come here five years ago. Since his arrival he has been applying the American conception to his work, which is. exceptionally practical and beautiful, inpluding dcorative textiles and other decorations. Exhibit in Future This folio will be one of the main features in the exhibit of modernistic design which the Art department will sponsor in the near fut u r e . v;': Other forms of. modernistic a r t to be shown are textiles, pictures, and draperies. ' YOUNG VIOLINIST SHOWS ARTISTIC TEMPERAMENT Miss Ruth Wilson of Los Angeles, a prize winner in a contest sponsored by the National Federation of Women's Music Clubs, gave a violin concert in the last Tuesday's assembly. Miss Wilson's intensity and absorption in her music denoted the artistic temperament. She played equally well the vibrant, throbbing "Hungarian Dance" and the low, singing "Lotus Land." The young violinist shows promise of great possibilities in the musical world.

FINLEY At the Student Forum last Sunday the question discussed was "To what extent is a school responsible for the moral education of students?" In discussing whether or not a school should be responsible, it was brought out that morals in the broad sense cannot be separated from daily living; are moral choices exercised constantly. Also, the school in recommending students for teaching positions is asked to do so on a basis of character as well as scholarshhip, therefore it cannot escape the question. "And besides this there is the influence of these prospective teachers upon the children of the state to be considered. The school recognizes this by the statement that a student must give evidences of good moral character j to remain in school. But two other thoughts were brought out that are not so generally recognized. One is that the school has a responsibility to protect students from thieving and so forth, and that the students have an individual responsibility toward the group. One method that has been used with success in other schools is to employ private detectives to apprehend the thieves, who are usually found to be a very small percentage of the student body. It became necessary to do that at this school twelve years ago. It was thought to be more moral to report a person who is known to be thieving, as it is a case of protecting the interest of the group, as against shielding one person. It was also pointed out that very little is known about the principles of moral education. Such an education based on religion is by no means infallibly conducive to good conduct, even in an age of faith. In an age of reason, it often results in young people, who generally lose their faith at a critical period in their lives, supposing that there is no rational basis for right conduct. Applying this to Normal, it is declared that the Orientation courses in Science and History offer a distinct spiritual shock and are quite disrupting to many students. Having been forced to see the truth of the scientific explanation of the origin of the earth and the biochemical origin of life, they proceed with the rashness of youth to throw away the Bible in its entirety. They also believe, though quite falsely, that the moral code of behavior is founded upon the Bible, whereas in truth it has grown up through social agreement during many centuries and the Bible has been only one factor, though a very large one. It was suggested that the instructors have an eye to the building up process as well as the tearing down, and that the fact that religious instruction is barred in the schools is not a hindering factor, in that it can be approached from the scientific standpoint of effect upon the individual. Another good suggestion was that a shelf of books be provided, the very best books on young peoples problems, and put together in an easily accessible place. • o _ LIBRARY HAS EXHIBIT Headquarters For^, '•.'.'•• D.

Zimbalist will use this instrument in his concert next Monday evening at the First Christian Church. He is quoted as saying that the marvelous instrument has retained its beautiful tone and is in a perfect state of preservation. According to Zimbalist, the best authorities in Europe claim the Titian- to be one of the four greatest existing instruments, the others being the Joachim, owned by a Berlin banker who is a descendant of Mendelssohn; the Alard, in possession of a wealthy Scotch family, and the Messiar, which ---------- Northwest Viking - 1930 January 24 - Page 3 ---------- M00- WASHINGTON ST^TT^NORP^ "W:mmmmmmmm^mmii IJVoVf A VI / W-'v«y!!VSV«W!!VS/!l\^! gt;Vtj/! gt;\f i/ lt;!' SPORT BRIEFS h n o i) i ~g6 Now that the tragedy of EUensburg' is over, we can turn our eyes to Cheney and hope. Of course those defeats at the hands of the Wildcats were tougi, but after all they have one of the best teams in the state, so what can you expect? But we have heard of no great victories by our Redskin foes, so, maybe tonight will be different. All loyal students are expected to be sitting on the front porch early tomorrow morning to get the morning paper and the glad news at the "earliest possible moment. * * *' * - If you want to see a line-up of tough looking hombres, just take a look at the U. of W. basketball squad as shown in Wednesday morning's Herald. If those big boys don't crack somebody's pate this year, , looks are certainly deceiving. * * * # We noticed in the press the other day that Arthur, The Great Shioes, was absolutely forbidden to fight by the big man of baseball, Commissioner Landis. Well, maybe a baseball player shouldn't box, but here's hoping the football coaches don't get any such ideas about pigskin warriors, for we might then lose the services of our great Lester for our "smoker". That is, if we don't lose the ' smoker" itself. It seems impossible of course, that anything like thai could happen, but if somebody doesn't do something, the thing will die a natural death. There's only eight more weeks in this quarter, so, if anybody wants the performance before next Fall they had better start talking it up. ** * * * * The town seems crowded with entertainment tonight, for the sport fans. Of course we have our usual allowance of High School games, when Whatcom and Lynden battle on the north front, and Fairhaven and Sumas-Nooksack play on the southside floor... But the most important, greatest, and most unusual event of the evening is the third and final block of three-cushion billiard match... So if you crave., more., excitement than the high school teams can offer, trot up to the Bellingham Recreational rooms. And the best part is that the affair is sueh that you can leave your much punished pocketbook at home. o — AIR SCHOOL MAKE VIKINGS LOSE TWO TRI-NORMALGAMES TO WILDCAT TEAM EUensburg Takes First Game on Monday by Score of 28 to 20, and Second, Tuesday, 58 to 17.

The crew of Vikings that left their ship at Bellingham and started a long journey over East of the mountains, were held at bay by a snappy pack of Wildcats as they tried twice to conquer the Ellens-burg stronghold. The Vikings lost Monday night by a 28-20 score, and were forced to make a long retreat Tuesday night, when they were smothered with a 59-17 score. However, despite the two setbacks the locals still have a chance to make good showings in other Tri-normal games. EUensburg has an unusually strong team this year, haying defeated Whitman and coming close to winning from the Conference leading W. S. C. team. Last night the Vikings played the Yakima Junior College, which ended .... to .... and tonight and tomorrow night they will play the Cheney Savages. In the first game the losers were far behind, 16-3, at half time. In the second half the Bellingham team showed their true Norsk spirit by out-scoring the victors by five points but the early odds had piled too high against them. Pederson led the attack in the last half and thus became the star of the game by scoring 13 markers. In the second game the Vikings gradually dropped behind and were never able to head the Wildcats. At half time the EUensburg quintet had the lead 32-13, and then scored 27 points to the "locals four in the last half. Erickson was the only loser to score heavily, making 8 points. The second contest proved slightly rough as far as the number' of fouls caUed. The two Bellingham guards, Thorsen and Pederson, both left the game with four personals.

Every girl in school is invited to attend these hikes which are usually taken every Satxirday. The Fairhaveii Grizzlies swept the Whatcom Redskins. from their path last Tuesday, as they continued their march toward the goal of a season without a defeat. The" Whatcom gymnasium was filled to overflowing as a wild crowd saw the Southsiders give their host an 18 to 15 beating. . ' ' The game had the crowd in hysterics, with Fairhaven holding a slim lead up until within three minutes of the end of the contest, when Bliss scored a field goal to tie the score at 15 to 15. Haickel, Fairhaven forward, then stepped into the breach and scored a foul shot and field goal to put the game on ice for Fairhaven. Clen-denen, Whatcom forward, was high point man with ten markers. Haickel was next with nine. In the other class "A" games, Lynden defeated Mt. Baker 34 to 24 and Blaine beat Sumas-Nooksack 37 to 18. Both games were played on the winner's floors. —o P. E.

I The rural training schools are giving out 3 times a year, to the par- ;ents, a report - card emphasizing jhabits and application of students ;to the work in school. Miss Orpha iMcPhersoh, with the help of several teachers, worked out the plan for 'ithe cards at the beginning of the School year and has given the cards out this year for the first time.:;* "'• ' ' T h e cards report the habits in each of the subjects taken, and how the student rates in comparison with tus natural ability. For instance, under citizenship there are 8 points ^in which pupils are graded: 1. Defends on himself whenever possible; 2. Does his share in the group; 3. Consider the rights of others; 4. shows tolerance toward others; 5. Takes care of materials and school property; 6. Makes valuable use of his time; 7. Follows directions; 8. Furnishes his share of materials. Other subjects in which the student Is graded are: Reading, social science, language, music, industrial arts, fine arts,, spelling, arithmetic, writing, and health. Parents Co-operate The cards give the parents a fair basis on which tc* judge the children and in which lines they need the most careful watching. It helps the child too, to recognize in himself his worst faults and gives him a chance to overcome his difficulties, thus starting him in young to break bad habits and start good ones. Parents are co-operating with the teachers through these cards and are watching their children and helping them in all ways possible. The regular grade cards are issued every six weeks, as usual, and give information regarding the average of work performed by the student in his studies. — o SONG CONTEST DATE SET FOR FEBRUARY 28 'v.nfr.inued from Page One) school. 7.

Cecile Rambo is assisting Miss Farlowe at the charging desk in the library. MRPiiEYlLEGTED TO PROGRAM OFFICE Vera Porteous Gives Door-opener Discussion Concerning Citizenship " Utider'Riissia's Noble Experiment. For all its earnestness, the International Relations Club never can be dry; elements of the bizarre and romantic are always popping up in their serious discussions of far places and strange pefoples. The "Land of the Soviets", of which the I. R. C. is making a special study this quarter, is peculiarly productive of these elements* perhaps the more so because so little reliable information has. come out* of Russia in the past ten years that our generation may be said to have "grown up in ignorance" of the truly remarkable things that have been going on there. Russia Discussed The discussion Vera Porteous gave at the last meeting, concerning citizenship in the Soviet Republic, was a door-opener to an understanding of the novel manner in which affairs are conducted in Russia's noble experiment. Mrs. Goodenough gave the club a digest of a National Geographic article on Russia. Gertrude Ward spoke on the five-power naval conference. Phil Davis made a start on the tale of his trip to Louisiana, via Panama, Colombia, and Mexico and back by the Old Spanish Trail and the Pacific Highway. Mrs. Edna B. Finley was elected to perform the functions of chairman of the program committee. In spite of the international spirit this club has never bene very cosmopolitan, but from now on it is intended to make an effort to make it more so. o STUDENT TEACHER ILL Elsie Canfield, a special student teacher of this quarter, had to return to her home in Puyaliup, because of illness. She will be back next quarter. •—o Ruth Wilson, violinist, and Dorothy Robinson, pianist, who provided the program for Tuesday's assembly were entertained at luncheon Tuesday by the MacDowell club members in their club rooms at Edens Hall.

DORM GIRLS DANCE STYLES yOR MEN PICTURE EXHIBIT —By Catherine Morse We picked up a pencil the other day—it was red. It was such a nice, long, shiny pencil that we were sorry when we happened to drop it. Where the paint chipped off, there were yellow flecks on the red pencil r—it had at one time been yellow. Then we happened to wonder how many of us show yellow flecks when we get a little-hard wear. . . . • ' • • • * • * • * • ^ • There is one professor up here who always advises us to try to learn a n e w word every day. In fact he advocated the same to all of his classes; as it seemed to us to be a good idea, we" sort of took him up oh it.' "Quihtessentializd" is our lat-fest acquisition. It is a great word, isn't it? Its meaning is to stir the [emotions to white heat, in case you don't happen to know. Amy Lowell says that to quint- . essentidlize is the purpose of every modern poet. We think that it is also ^applicable to the purpose of every budding journalist. The only trouble is, though, that a poet can get away with almost anything in the line of quintessenlialization and he 4s excused—"poetic license," while the poor columnist—well, there has to ,be some subject for gt; student opinions. "V . : . - • ' . . • - • ' - . . *. • * * Since we made the remark about clockwatchers in our last column, we have been accosted in every class by irate, neighbors who demanded "if they, had been the butt of our chance slander. In uncouth American, we coiild have replied, "The pig that's poked is the pig that squealed." But really, we didnt have anybody in particular in mind. * * * We think it's an excellent idea -T-thisimidrSummer dance that the Dorm girls are staging tomorrow night. It shows that even in the summer, time they have fine organi- -zation. We hope that the outside girls will crash through with their quarterly dance also this summer. .Past summers have seen very successful Women s League dances, J * • . ' . * ' . • * " • Every day that certain members of The Viking staff are together in the office a heated discussion takes place on the subject of dress and other things, in general. The most rapid remarks flow from the lips of Lyle "Handsome" Summers, our estimable business" manager who favors comfort first in | h e styles of .men's dress on the dance floor. It is his view that if a man "gets hot" at one of the, Women's League dances,, or at any. other dance, formal or otherwise; it* should be his privilege.^ or rather RIGHT, to remove his coat and vest and hop to it. (Some men are so masterful.) Now We Would like to put-ourselves right on the side of Mri Summers. We are highly in favor of our great big men-folks being just as ^comfortable as possible and are hoping and praying that it will-im'- probe their dancing. We feel it looks mighty nice to keep our boys sweet and informal,at all the dances, and it lends a homey atrhpsphere, just'like mother used to make. Awl you have to admit that it looks plenty pretty to see all the girls in satin evening dresses dancing with these domineering man-things in rolled: shirt-sleeves and open collars. gt; • : • ' • ' • • * * • ' • * . ' • • ' • gt;••• We would like to tell Herbert and Jamesr Heniy gt; ; ^ i t e that we have studied and enjo^d theh* ptetures.

Interest Itt tHinese Culture ! ^ Declaring that the enrollment this summer, quarter is particularly significant in that a great number, of upper division students are enrolled, President C. H. Fisher this week released the following registration statistics:' - '••-J- ,';- ;; The present enrollment of the summer session is 1033 students. Of this number there are 90 Freshmen, 195 Sophomores and 748 are upper division students doing third and fourth year work, mostly third year work. There are 53 students enrolled, at Friday * Harbor.' The significant thing about the enrollment is the large number of upper division students'which constitutes almost three-fourths of the. total enrollment. This is a complete reversal of the enrollment that occurred only 5 years ago when most of the students were lower division students and there were not mpre than 150 upper division students. Of the 39 counties in the state there are students here from 36 counties. Besides the State of Washington, there are 18 other states represented in the enrollment including 20 from Montana, 47 from Oregon and 6 from Alaska. ' ' • ' • • ' • -o —— NORMAL GRADS IN CITY TENNIS MEET Last Tuesday, in assembly, the students were,,- treated with an illustrated lecture on China by Herbert Clarence White, A. B. ' This, was the first of two lectures, the second given in this morning's assembly by James Henry White, A. B. The White brothers have just returned from eight years of residence in China. Chinese Art and Architecture, was the topic of the lecture Tuesday by Herbert Clarence White., Mr. White told the story of romantic Peking. His talk was illustrated by lantern slides of remarkable composition. The balance, form, and artistry of the slides combined to give an effect that was beautiful in the blending of color and cleverness of the ro-, mantic scenes. Headed Educational Interest This title of the lecture this morning was, "China, Old and New", given by James Henry White. MTi White spent eight years in the interior of XJhina; heading the edr ucational interests of the Seventh Day Adventist Mission Board in North China. In the lecture, Mr. White depicted conditions during the days of conflict in China, when the Nationalist armies were forcing their way northward toward Peking. The city of Tsinan. was described during its capture and occupation by the Japanese forces/ Eye Witness of Battles Mr White was an eye-witness to the capture of both Peking and Tsinan by the Southern Nationalist forces; he also told of the results of the great political struggle, and its relation to foreign countries,, commerce, religion, and the life of the people. The White brothers, have beeririri China for eight years; during this" time they have traveled extensively through South Chekiangy China's romantic "Garden of the Gods", and other beauty.spots famous in .Oriental literature and history. Many of these trips were taken at the peril of their lives from roving bands' of brigands. To describe the beauty of some of the scenes they saw it is necessary to resort to the adjective of, the old time circus barker. gt; Many students were interested to know that the photographs exhibited in the hall were colored by Chinese artists, following the original models exactly. Many of the photographs were taken under unusually difficult conditions, but excellent compositions were obtained by the use of special lenses. - TRIP TO HANNEGAN IS CALLED OFF.

Miss Smith is a Bellingham girl, and has been studying in New York for several years, where she was favorably received. Miss Smith has appeared in several recitals at the Normal school. She is always enthusiastically received by students. . • '. '.; . o • ;•. Mr. and Mrs. Hughes and daughter, Lyn, were at Crescent Beach, British Columbia, the past few days.

Consider Of fer of Science Dept. . The exhibit of Japanese Cold Prints, which has been held this week in the Art department on the third floor, will end this 'afternoon.' The number ofy prints has decreased rapidly, since the exhibit opened Wednesday morning, because stur dents and townspeople have been purchasing the prints and removing them from the display-room. "The students have shown an unusual interest in this exhibit", Miss Marie C. Druse, of the Art department declared, "And have bought a great number of-.the prints". . Many people who have formed a liking for Japanese prints are unaware, of the,skill which is needed to produce them. Most of the prints on display have been reproduced.' from the old masters, but in exactly the same manner as was employed three or four centuries ago when the woodcut print was proving its right to be known as a medium of Japanese artistic expression: The prints are made by the use of. wood cuts, and the various shades and colors which appear in each print demand separate blocks for the impression. Consequently, in an ordinary print, from ten to fifteen wood blocks are used, all of which must be carved by hand and made to align with the other impressions.

Perhaps when people have Jearned of the remarkable development of Oriental thought and art, there will be a new missionary coming back from Asia* Men like Herbert Clarence and James Henry White may be the vanguard. i . , o— —••—^ UNSUCCESSFUL COLLEGE STUDENTS One of the most unpleasant by-products of our colleges, as we see it, is that unhappy individual who may well be described by the term, Unsuccessful College Graduate. You meet him nearly everywhere you go, a little run down at the heels, obviously hard-pressed for money, but still presenting the appearance of a well-dressed man, and putting up a bold front to the world to which he has been unable to adjust himself. H e may have a "philisophy of life", but it is one which alienates him from, rather than .leads him into harmony with the society into which he was born. Because he possesses the rudiments of culture he refuses to lower himself to do common labor, and because he has not acquired proficiency in a profession or a trade, he can find nothing else. Because Henry Ford and one of the local millionaires can write big checks which are always honored at the bank, he feels that no college man, and particularly •one who is infinitely superior in intellect to these opulent individuals, should begin his economic apprenticeship for less than, let us say, five or six thousand dollars a year (and what can a' man do on that, with all of the avenues to success blocked by these bigger and better highway- . men?). And because he can't start in the front office of the first corporation to which he offers himself for employment, and because they want to put him in the basement piling packing boxes, he becomes profoundly dissatisfied with life in general. He becomes, to his friends, an iconoclast of the higher order, a rebel against the sordid materialism of this industrial age, and rather a sour fellow to argue with in a friendly debate, while to his intimate friends, and more probably his family, he becomes a rather feeble form of remittance man. It seems to us that if our colleges turned out fewer corporation attorneys, corporation executives, and bond salesmen, and fitted more men with a state of mind that would allow them to enjoy themselves and be happy on fifteen dollars a week while they learned, immediately after their graduation, what a hard old world this is, there would be fewer Unsuccessful College Graduates out in the field trying to tip over our existing institutions »by talking about thein. And then there might be more who were really "in there" working and doing something about making them over. .'.-'' -.-. ;—:—o— — S T U D E N T REC B A N D We were glad to learn that the Board of Control elected to use student'made music at the weekly Rec hours, despite the fact that the student band had only enjoyed a short rehearsal before the tryouts in competition with a professional town orchestra. The action of the Board should be a good precedent to future school representatives, and an encouragement to the student musicians in the future'who wish to play to help themselves through school. All of the student organizations should hang together to see that student funds are distributed back to the students themselves whenever possible. Personals From Here and There Mrs/ May Lovegren drove down to Seattle Tuesday. With her were Bernice Persohn, Evelyn Elliott, and Margery Allen.

Definite rules are posted on the main gate of the ten-nis courts. Please, let us all try io enforce and obey them. Two years ago the entire Normal school, students and faculty, rented a boat for a day and visited that quaint old city of Victoria. It was a pleasant journey and all remember it as one of the most interesting phases of their lives. Last year such a trip was impossible due to international law...

The game Tuesday night proved to be the/best thriller of the season. sary to decide the winner and it was not until the closing seconds of the third one that Swanson dropped in one for the winning tallies. Starting from the start, it was apparent that rough play would feature every minute. Twelve fouls were called by Referee Pop Gunn. At the end of the regular time the score stood 20 all. A three minute overtime period was had and it was found that each side had caged one field goal, making the score 22 up. In the second extra time neither side was able'to do much as the whole team swarmed all over anyone with the ball within scoring distance. The third period opened with cautious checking, each team waiting for a break. The Pets caged a field goal and it looked as though the spectators could go home but in a few seconds Vanadis came back and tied the score. In the last few seconds a pass from Omeg to Swanson put the ball in scoring distance. The whistle blew shortly after the ball passed through the rim.. The final count was 26-24 for the Mac's Pets. High point,honors were taken by Brown, who tallied 13. Johnson, of Mac's Pets, led his teammates with 10 markers, closely followed by Rhodes, with 8.

The majority of the sixty chose to learn tapdancing, even though Miss Hor-ton assured them that it was hard and would take a great deal of prac • tice. The class promises to be a very talented one by the looks of some of the ones signed up. So within the next month, should some clubs desire to have a new and different form of entertainment perhaps some of the erstwhile dartseusfes and the one danseur of the class will comply on invitation.

It also serves the double purpose of providing experience in club work/ along with some sense of responsibility, independence and ^ initiative. Everyone in the class is an active member of one, of the four committees, with the end in view of potential leadership being developed. The Room committee maintains an attractive apeparance in the class room. It is the duty of the Library committee to take care, of the magazines on the library table, to keep books on it and to see that these books are of a stimulating nature The bulletin board is kept up-to-date by a Bulletin,Board committee, and the Service committee takes up problernV in connection with school civics and works them out, with conferences with Miss Rich.

Of Jttusical Artists' Course Promises A "' Treat For Music Lovers. *»- LITERARY CONTEST WERRENRATH TO FOLLOW IS ANNOUNCED! _ Of course we could make a crass remark about how some of our teachers served as glorified traffic cops during registration, but we won't. STUDENTS FORCE DOWN DOOR JN ENTHUSIASTIC EFFORT TO ET TO MEET NEW CLASS TEACHERS.—News Item, Although some of our Profs lead a fast life, we can't help wondering if they'll pass all of us in the grand 'finish. Other Artists Are Elly Ney, Pianist, Elschuco Trio; And Ponselle, A Great Soprano. : The above is a striking likeness, as you must have already guessed, of little Matilda Quackenbush, at the age of 7, or it might have been 17, years of age. The picture was taken just after she had been clandestinely learning to.say, "goo:goo" and ~da-da." V A study of her case is being made i gt;y bur Mr. Kolstad and our own Dr. Salisbury. It is probable, too, : that Art Brisbane will give her a paragraph or two some day. Who knows? Do you? Do we? - •'.'•; Just behind'little Matilda Quack-jsrilog you will see a brazen group of three or four of her pals—just good, clean, wholesome girls. Fine, ruddy home-girls, you know. The gay, innocent throng consists largely of Olive Hardan, the dreamer; also Rin- Tin-Tin's sister (you remember her, ibld-timers; Miss Jones, there playfully poking Mr. Smith's umbrella in Olive's eye—she must have her little joke; Elsie Smith; Corona Underwood, her sister; and two other girls t o the left. In an interview, little Matilda Quackenstump, no longer a little girl with long curls and • dresses, - mind you, sat on the Cedar Chips re- ; porter's,: knee and poured forth her story.-; This is to be shamelessly exposed to the clamoring public next week. Can you wait for It? Though Normal days Save their delights ^They can't compare With J f ormal nighti.

He Plans for the Musical Artists' Course, to ^be presented by the Bel-lingham Women's Music Club and the Bellingham State Normal School have been completed and five great musical treats are in store for the city during the season 1926-1927. With the Russian Symphonic Choir scheduled to appear late in November; Reinald Werrenrath, baritone, and Elly Ney, pianist, due in January; The Elschuco trio and Rosa Pon-selle, dramatic soprano, who will be presented in March, the music lovers of Bellingham are assured an unsurpassable program. The Russian Symphonic Choir is a body of solo singers, joined together under the able leadership of a master musician, Basile Kibalchich, director. The choir consists of twenty-two voices, eleven of whom are men and eleven women. The Choir represents a new form of vocal ensemble. The director has taken the symphony orchestra as a model and has given each voice, of the choir . the same value as each instrument has in the modern orchestra. - ' - • • - / Rienald Werrenrath who will sing in January, is the foremost American baritone of today and one of the most popular singersr this country has ever had. Elly Ney is regarded by many critics as Europe's greatest woman pianist. •"/She possesses a magnetic personality and has a unique reputation of winning an audience with her playing. The Elschuco Trio, from New York City, Js composed of William Kroll, violinist; William Willeke, 'cellist'; and Aurelio Giorni, pianist. Each member of the trio is an artist in his own right, and their combined performance; is given with unusual skill and beauty. They will give a concert of supreme merit. Rosa Ponselle, dramatic soprano, is a singer at the Metropolitan Opera House, New York City. " She is of American birth and Italian blood, a combination" which has resulted, in producing a remarkable singer. She possesses one of the greatest soprano voices to be heard today. A season ticket for this artist series of five concerts sells for six dollars. Admission to single concerts will be $1.50, except in the case of the Russian Symphonic Choir and Rosa Ponselle, which will be $2.00. Since the seating capacity of the auditorium is limited, there will be only a few seats available for single concerts Those desiring to attend are urged to reserve their tickets-at once. Students' Activities Tickets will admit Normal students. As in former years, the Weekly Mesesnger isannouncing" a stupendous: literary contest.

New Instructors In; Music, Physical Ed. And Social Science. New Blue Books Show Improvements After Revisions by Committee During the summer quarter a complete revision of the old blue book was made. Under the direction of Lloyd Mabon. the old book has resulted in a finished product known as the "New Blue Book." These little books are to be used by all students, when .they are in doubt as to what they should do concerning a certain subject. Difficulties with; any other situation about school life will be cleared up if the Blue Book is consulted. The new books are absolutely up-to- date in all- their material. The amended by-laws to the constitution- have been recorded, the complete school calendar is at the hand of all students. The school curriculum, and names of all teachers in the employ of the Normal school given with their respective subjects are found in the Blue Book. ' As an added feature to the New Blue Book, this year, blank pages have been left to be used for the enrollment schedule. This enables a student to carry his program right along, with him. If every student has not acquired a Blue, Book he should do so for his welfare. They can be obtained in the Students' Association room;on the second floor at any time.

Theodore Cederberg, Avho has had considerable experience in; journalistic work, will act as Associate Editor of the Weekly Messenger this quarter. Theodore was a star reporter last quarter. During the last half of the summer session Cederberg invented and published a column known as "Merry-Go-Round." He will continue to write the column on the first page this quarter. With his previous experience, Cederberg should come well qualified for his new position and should find very little difficulty in executing the duties of his office. Olive Hardan, who has been connected with our weekly publication for some time, has been appointed to act as society editor. With her intimate acquaintance with all. club officers, Olive should be able to handle her work efficiently. She_is also president of the Inter-Club Council. Robert Wagner and Robert Fisher will again take the positions of sports associates. The two "Bobs" worked well last summer as sport editors. With added experience, the students will undoubtedly edit a better and more popular sport section than ever before. Herbert E. Fowler will act as Faculty Advisor of the Weekly Messenger for the year. Mr. Fowler has had a wide and varied range of experience in journalistic work. His well seasoned newspaper tactics should prove to be a material help in publishing a better and more up-to-date college newspaper. The staff extends to Mr. Fowler a hearty welcome. TRAINING SCHOOL IN Worthwhileness of an Early Acquaintance with Pupils Thought Very Important FRESHMEN, WE GREET YOU ! ! You are now embarking upon the most eventful adventure of your life. We hope that you will find this intellectual sanctuary an ideal and wholesome habitat where you will be able to further your intellectual and aesthetic appreciations and interests. If you do not become the football hero on October 9, the day of our,first gridiron encounter, don't become sullen and discouraged. If you do not become a candidate for Women's League president within the next'month, ladies, don't become discouraged. Ladies and gentlemen of the beginning class, you will have opportunity to display your school spirit next Saturday. Yea, verily! You may smear it all over the place. To those of you who have decided to make a name for yourself in extra-curricular activities, remember that others are opposing you. You may tell us how you can perform. We want you for what you are, not how you are. It is only with hard persistent effort that you can reach your goal. . If it incidentally occurs to you that it would be profitable affiliate yourself with a club or two, don't become paralyzed. Remember that you can become a part of this institution only when you enter whole heartedly into the activities of the institution. Come on half way and display your mettle. Be sure to attend the first football game October 9th. We extend to you a most whole-hearted welcome to our institution and everything that is connected with it. —— o STUDY REGULARLY. " H o n e s t l y , you know, if I studied one-fourth as much around the first of the quarter as I did these last two weeks, I'd have had all A's and B's." Unofficial statistics would reveal that 847 of the summer students uttered words to that effect. And when a refrain like that is flung to every corner, of the corridors and the vigor of utterance bends every leaf of dandelion on the campus, it makes one wonder if it really could be true. - : . ' - ^ , • • ••• . . . . •••. • But three chances a year are tendered the most of us to actually try this out. The effort, not made through long nocturnal cramming but rather through regular periods of programming one's work and play, like the measured training of a grid player, is almost worth the trial. It's worth the trial if only to prove or disprove a statement made by thousands for many college generations. ^ ^If, in these halcyon days of the aftermath of a glamorous ; sumaner, there is still a pint or two of sporting blood racing ^ddeningj^r through you, try to see if by dissipating qne- |fbur^hy or was it one^hird, of, the last of the quarter's work, it § mikes anydifference when you bpen^ a eertam letter? addres fd The Training School has been in session for three weeks, it ; beinj thought worth while for the super visors to get acquainted with their pupils before the opening of the fall quarter Special teachers will begin their work Wednesday, while student teachers will not take up their work iintil later, thus giving them an opportunity to become acquainted with their supervisors and the children before beginning actual work. The Training school is organized on the basis of not only teaching the children, but trying .to understand what the children are learning. Up to this time the grade teachers have been too busy, their work has been too varied and so as to make possible more perfect work and the realization of the aim of Education, Growth, a number of Technique teachers have been added to handle this part of the work. This leaves the grade teachers free to carry on their work of teaching, adn also enables tlie student to get both points of view, that of growth and that of personal contact with the children themselves. The new teachers who are taking charge of this work are Miss Erick-son, Miss Beiswenger and Miss Pragst, each an artist along her own line. Owing to the death of Miss Wallace, seventh grade supervisor, Miss Speiseke has taken charge of this department instead of the Intermediate group. Miss Brown will take her place in the Intermediate department: The training school Messenger staf^ has been organized and as student teachers go into the training school they will find the children well started in their work. Miss McPherson has had ten cadets in rural schools for two weeks and already they have organized and put into practice a fine Health program. In the city schools the number of cadets has been reduced to four, and Miss Dawson, Miss Ragland, and Miss Peterson have been here since the opening of the city schools, clearing the field for student teachers and the years' work. Altogether, we anticipate a very successful and interesting year in our training school and we are very proud of the progress that is being made. : o BOUQUETS (By Madge Boyer) I love to make bouquets.

" '%, November 6 has been set as the date for the annual Viking Homecoming, or Alumni Day. Then hundreds of old grads will return to renew acquaintances, and make new ones. AH students now in school will have ari opportunity to fully enjoy themselves, when a football game with Cheney Normal, a reception, a banquet, and'a dance will take place. These events should help to make November 6 the greatest day of the Fall quarter. The great event of the day will be the game with the Cheney Savages. The Savages have long been keen rivals and strong opponents of the Vikings trample the Savages under foot. From the looks of the Viking baekfield this year, sledding will be more difficult for the Savages on November 6, 1926, than it was in 1925. A reception to the Alumni is scheduled immediately after the game in Edens Hall. A banquet will be given in the evening in the dining room at Edens Hall. , Capping the events of the day will be a dance in the evening for faculty, students, and alumni in the State Armory. o- PLANS MADE FOR 3 NEW TENNIS COURTS VIKINGS PREPARING FOR STATE JUNIOR CONFERENCE PLACE Oppose St. Martin's College in Season's Opening Conetst on Waldo Field, October 9. U. W. FROSH, OCTOBER 23 Both Cheney and Ellensburg Reported as Being Strong. Cheney Here Homecoming. Plans for three new tennis courts to be located on High street, above Cedar, were drawn up by A. R. (Campbell, civil engineer, last month. Ralph C. Sisson was engaged to do vthe preliminary work and grading. ^According-to' schedule, the courts will be ready next spring. T The new courts are to be of concrete, and will be the most up-to-date ones in Northwest Washington wjien completed. Facing northeast and southwest, they will have more fchan the regulation distance at the £ndB, with ten feet between them. Excavating and grading will be accomplished during the next few /weeks, then the earth will be allowed / to settle. Next spring the concrete / will be poured and the courts will then be finished. These new courts will give the Bellingham Normal first class, tennis facilities, relieving the congestion on the three old courts, which have proved insuffi cient for the needs of the school. FOOTBALL SCHEDULE FOR COMING SEASON Ray Odell, crack halfback of Carver's gridiron eleven, has the Normal training school gridders under his tutelage. A fifteen-game football schedule has been drawn up for the Lowell, Normal, Boeder, Franklin, Eureka and Silver Beach grade schools. The season opens October 6 and ends-November 24.. The Normal schedule is as follows: Normal vs. Eureka, Oct. 13. Normal vs.- Franklin, Oct. 22. Normal vs. Lowell, Oct. 27. Normal vs. Boeder, Nov. 12. Normal vs. Silver Beach, Nov. 24. Ray Odell has anonunced his first istring men as follows: Carr and Abbot, ends; Brown and Gwinnett, tackles; Crimmins and Kienast, guards; Gilfilen, center; White, quarter; Smith, full, and Wells and Clifton, halfbacks. •''.-: - o—:—;— VDHNGS HAVE HARD SCHEDULE FOR FALL Oct. 9—St. Martins college, here.

With four letter-men and a block of former high school stars working out daily, the machine which Coach Sam Carver will build from them should bring back the Tri-Normal championship. The dope sheet indicates a season of highly interesting contests. The six teams on the schedule are all old foes, and the least of them, is capable of giving a real battle. The first mix is due October 9, when St. Martins College furnishes half the entertainment on Waldo Field. The Irishmen always are at their best against the Vikings, and fight to the finish. Last year the Carverites came out on the long end of a 9-0 score. On the following Saturday, Seattle College, another Catholic school, opposes Bellingham ( the game being played here also.) The Collegians ar coached by a- former Notre Dame star and use the famous Notre Dame shift. They always provide an interesting afternoon. With the University of Washington Frosh game, October 23, comes the first major game of the season. This game is played at Seattle. To beat the Frosh is the crowning feat of glory for the Vikings. Last year the team won a thriller 13-6. This year's Frosh team, according to indications, will be the strongest in years, but they have nothing on the locals, Avho intend to turn the trick again this year. The Vikings then journey to Ellensburg for the first game of the Tri-Normal championship series. The Wildcats will be found a much harder nut to crack than in the past few seasons. They have strengthened their coaching staff by the addition of Roy. Sandberg, former We-natchee and Sedro-Woolley high ,school coach. Ellensburg has attracted a number of ex-prep stars who will no doubt present as formidable a team as that school has ever produced. November 6 is Homecoming, occasioned by the invasion of Cheney Normal. The Savages scalped the blond wigs of the Vikings to a fare-you-well last year at Cheney, and are reported as having a team of practically "the" same calibre. Cheney had a turnout of over fifty men this season, and if numbers are any indication, they portend a championship team. The east-siders suffered a severe trouncing at the hands of Gonzaga University last Saturday, however, being outclassed to the tune of 66-0. ; The final game is against the University Super-Varsity on Armistice Day, November 11. This game will be a part of the celebration planned by the American Legion. There is a possibility of a game being arranged for November 20. The Super Varsity has usually proved a little too strong for the Vikings, although last year they outplayed them, losing the game by a tough break. With a powerful team such as present indications point to, this may be the year the University boys bow before the Vikings. Jack Dempsey, world's heavyweight champion, the nonpareil of the boxing world, lost his crown to Gene Tunney, the fighting ex-Marine, last Friday in the Sesqui-Centennial Stadium at Philadelphia. 132,000 people paid $2,000,000 to see this greatest of all modern boxing matches, in which Tunney pounded and pounded Dempsey, a mere shell of his former self.' :: Always Something New, in Records, and Sheet Music.

With the 1926 football season coming into full swing, with thousands of teams preparing for games, and with thousands of games scheduled for the next three months, this year promises to be the greatest in the 'history of the game. Several professional leagues, many , collegiate contests, and innumerable interscho-lastic mixes will help to make the pigskin game more. popular than ever, and will continue to furnish recreation and excitement to millions ofenthusiastic fans. College football still remains supreme, despite the inroads made by numerous "pro" teams. Nowhere do these professionals display the "class" and wonderful spirit and determination evidenced by the college teams. There are in the neighborhood of 50 colleges and universities out after the inter-collegiate crown held by Dartmouth in 1925, while numerous athletes are making determined efforts to "make" the mythical All-American team, the highest honor available to a football man. At this present, early-season stage, the University of Michigan is doped as the strongest team in the country. With two All-American men and its 1925 baekfield, it is sure to be a real threat. Dartmouth and Southern California are ranked next in ability—Dartmouth, because of last year's showing; Southern California, because of its numerous returning lettermen. Alabama, the strong team, of the south in 1925, is not looked upon as a real threat this season. Washington, Pacific Coast champions of last year, has lost its "strong-men." " Last week saw the near defeat of several leading coast teams. California just managed to come through against Santa Clara, winning 13-6. The "Golden Bear" appears to have lost its former brilliance under Andy Smith; Washington failed to walk over its opponent, the U. S. S. New Mexico very impressively; Stanford, conqueror of California and Southern California a year ago, managed to squeeze through with a 13-6 victory over California Tech.. As the. only real upset of last week, Georgia Tech, counted upon as a leading team of the South, was defeated by Oglethorpe University, 7-6. The two professional leagues, the National and American, are attempting to "put over" their type of game, but as in other years, do not have the popular appeal that the college boys do, and have not as yet gained a secure hold on the sporting public.

Bowmer. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs; Cartland Muzzall of Oak Harbor. She was in attendance at the Bellingham Normal this summer and is a graduate of this institution. Angus Bowmer is. well known to vaudeville fans of this school. The four to five "Wreck" hour gang will also remember Angus for his "sax" music in the "Collegians' orchestra. Thelma Muzzall sister to the bride, attended her. Thelma is also a former student of the Bellingham Normal. Mr. and Mrs. Bowmer left for a short wedding trip, after which they will be at home in Oak Harbor, where Mr. Bowmer teaches in the Oak Harbor school. "A tribute by President Fisher on behalf of Teachers and Student Body. Miss Wallace served in the Training School of the Seventh Grade for eight years. She received her A. B. degree in Whitman College, and her A. M. degree from the University of Washington. She had been a teacher ^since a young girl and constantly carried on preparation for her work. She was always a thorough student of educational " problems in connection with her work. She was a devoted teacher and 'put her work above everything -else' She was sympathetic with the efforts of young people and took great satisfaction in seeing them develop in the skill and the art of teaching; In addition to being a. competent and successful teacher she was a woman of character and fine qualities of personality. She radiated with human kindness and sympathy. She was tolerant in her attitude toward others who held different opinions. She maintained an open mind and was receptive to new ideas. She spent her life in service to others I and at the end of a summer's vacation, which jthe thoroughly enjoyed in her cottage on Orcas Island, she quietly and gloriously passed away to the life beyond." .•:%;-7::••^i^:'iitaM^gl^• gt;iM^•;x:; gt;••v•;:•• •:-::#PHdHES:; mairtiar •;' i i^ •He Profit! k b i t Whe SerTe* Bfrt» Quality Work and Service Slickers $4.50 and $6.25 Hales OUTDOOR STORE 1223 State St. COURTESY OUB MOTTO • ; . ^ . t - : : viiivE;' Holly- ; V Open from 6; a.jih.'to 2 a. m.

I remember, this summer, while visiting a girl friend at Olga that one morning when I got up I felt blue. I wanted to go for a walk, but there-was no place to go. Suddenly I remembered Miss Wallace was staying at Olga. So I ate breakfast and went out in search of her. After wandering around I found her cottage. I rapped on the door and she came out and asked me to come in and sit by the fire place. Her little cottage was the coziest little house I ever saw. Everything seemed to welcome me. She pulled up a chair beside the fire place and as I sat down she began to tell me her advenfures at Olga. I could sit and listen to her for hours. She showed me through the house and invited me to dinner. I hated the clock when it became time to go. I will always remember Miss Wallace for the kind deeds she did for me. Training School Student.

By the way, we hope that you will notice the increased maturity of this- column'. We feel that from today on we can offer our readers some thing really beneficial and pertinent. Our responsibility has been enlarged, another milestone of bur life has been attained, we are , in the act of taking our place in the great ranks of adult citizens, we have reached our legal majority. In other and more simple words, today we are twenty-one, and are fishing" for cohgrats. Honestly, though we feel terribly grown-up. We never actually thought that we could do it, so I guess we have a right to sort of feel plenty puffed up. Gee, 'just wait till you are twenty-one, and then you will be able to see for ' yourself how purely adult you will feel * * * ; Did you see- the play the other night? It really was an ambitious production for amateur actors, but there was certainly nothing amateurish about the. actors nor the directing. The tough spots that are to be expected in most school pro- • ductions were either unnoticeable or simply non-existent. The Bellingham State Normal school is fortunate in having a real artist in Victor H. Hoppe as its dramatic director. We were reading an article on reporters in a current magazine a short time ago which was written by a reporter. For the benefit of the faculty, we will tell you a little bit of what is'said—and quote a little bit more'. He said that people who were apt to be interviewed should • remember two things. First of all, they should carefully consider whether they want to be interviewed or not. If not, or even if in doubt, "don't let him get near you. Send out word that you are in Brazil, or have smallpox, or something equally conclusive"... ---.•• * Then the .second.point was, if you want to see the reporter—and this is particularly for the faculty —to see immediately that he has your name spelled .correctly... The author., of. the., article., suggests, '•Write it out for him, preferably on his shirt front.^ Tnere are; * gt;? course, a few reporters in the business who do not depend on their own remarkable gift for transcrib- ' ing phonetics on paper correctly, but request the owner to spell his . name; such lads,. however, are all too few". Maybe I shouldn't have given out • ail thai information; because of all the be ingthe "cubs'^ up; in the; office do about interviewing the faculty. You know, to hear them talk, one would really think that the dear teachers'weren't a bit 'flattered to be interviewed and get their names in the paper. '~ii is a tragedy to a reporter on his first important interview to be told all . about the'cute sayings of the little .grandson of the interviewee, but gt; consider the anguish of Normal teachers who must weekly rack their brains in order t opump news, so-called, into the embarrassed youth on whose beat he is and who in-eWtebly asks the , most suggestive £ndi leading: fcuestiim /; of "Ya got ihy news for the Viking this week? v and confining tiie rest of his germinating' conversation to "Thank 'ya; I'llbei arwnd next week fit this time", /ai lt; the «na of the intenftew. %l: Have you begun to really believe 0js'propaganda 0 ' * ' • ' ' ' ' J ;VJ)^5^U: ' ' - ' • -« •'-'^ ?! gt;- gt;'••»*••••! , !.'-...':..-..•-•..-. f.-M ,: Good Crowds See "The Pigeon" This Week Galsworthy's Play Proves Most Successful Given Here in f Many Quarters—Hoppe and McDonald Effective. Of interest to Normal students this week was the Galsworthy play, "The Pigeon", which was presented in the auditorium by the Drama club Wednesday and Thursday evenings. With a cast composed mainiy of experienced players, the drama, which was directed by Victor H. Hoppe, was declared to be one of the finest that has been presented here in several years. Appearing for the first time in several quarters, Mr. Hoppe returned to the stage himself to carry; the role of Weliwyn, around whom the play centers. Mr. Hoppe's interpretation of the sympathetic and generous, if not too kind-hearted artist was outstanding, while Miss Mary MacDonald, as Guiners Megan, one of the world's vagabonds who found a home under Weliwyn's roof portrayed the flower seller of the streets in a manner which warrants her appearance in future productions. The other lead of Fer-rand, an alien, was ably taken by Charles Gerrold, who made it quite effective with his French gestures and enunciation. Louis Griffin appeared again in a Normal play, this time as Anne, the rather spoiled and selfish daughter of Weliwyn. Charles Dewey, as Timpson, the drunken but likeable cab man, gave zest to the play. John Rajola, as Edward Bertley; Lyle Summers, as Alfred Calway, and Ray Bright; as Sir Thomas Hoxton, furnished plenty of controversy regarding what should be done with the three vagabonds, Guinevere Megan, Ferrand, and Timpson. Frank Franz, as a police constable; Warren Boynton, as the First- Humble-Man, and Haddox, as the Second-Humble-Man; Alexander Kuzmoski as a boy, and Joe Harris, as Rory Megan, while minor characters, gave convincing performances. Mr. Joe Harris was stage manager for the play. A very good turnout of Normal students, faculty and townspople enjoyed the two evenings'performances. : _ o : Augusta Pragst Leaving For Visit in Russia :: A recent letter from Miss Augusta Pragst; received by Miss Delia L. Victoria Rick Dome of Parliament Buildin; While being one of the most western settlements on the North American continent, Victoria, the rather famous Capital City of British Columbia, is not in any sense a child of the West. Its existence was not due to the westward tide of civilization as was the. case with Winnipeg, Calgary, or Vancouver City. Victoria had its birth in a Hudson's Bay Company's fort which was built in 1843, the city's subsequent growth being due to the choice of Esquimalt Harbour as the naval base of the Pacific Squadron of the British fleet, and later fa 185S to the fact that Victoria was the port at which miners from California, Australia, and many other countries landed on their way to the gold fields of the Cariboo. The visitor to Victoria is immediately charmed with his first glimpse of the island capital. Beyond the graceful sweep of bay and esplanade stretch lawns and terraces up to the stately Parliament buildings; within a stone's throw lies Beacon Hill Park, 154 acres in extent, its south side washed by the Straits of Juan de Fuca. Wonderful seascapes and views of the eternally snow-clad Olympics may be obtained from the cliffs and beaches. In the heart of the city is the all-glass Crystal Garden, housing a warm sea-water swimming tank 150 feet in length, peacock promenades, concert auditorium, gymnasiums, palm gardens, and picture galleries. On the outskirts of Victoria at Esquimalt are the old Naval station and the new Dominion government drydock, the second largest on the continent. This giant basin, hewn out of the living rock, cost approximately $6,000,- 000, and is 1,150 feet long. The dock will take any ship afloat. M. Butchart's sunken gardens are today world-famous. The site of these gardens, is a large cement quary. To this yawning chasm were brought countless loads of rich black loam, an artificial lake was made, trees planted, lawns laid out, shrubs of all kinds distributed, and clambering vines and rock plants set in place. Besides the sunken gardens with their blossom-covered walls a hundred feet high and the lake into which many waterfalls fling their silver spray, there are 16 acres of gardens with their heavily hung pergolas; strtches of velvet lawn bordered with flowers of every description. The gadens, while private property, are, through the kindness of Mr. and Mrs. Buchart, open to the public every day of the week. . r The Dominion government Astrophysical Observatory, six miles from the city,' contains the second largest telescope in the world.

Ninenty-nine per cent of the people enrolled this summer have been crying for the trip, and through the good nature of the faculty and committee, all of the boys and girls ' attending the institution will be turned out from their studies to bask about the decks of the big boat, and to spend their time roaming the streets of the quaint English city of Victoria. We don't mind quoting ourselves in this, that "this trip will be something of a classic in summer sport, the nth degree in good clean fun, and anyone who is not aboard the boat will be missing an important chapter in his, or her^young life". We've been cruising, these Islands all summer, in row boats, motor boats, and steam boats, and we enjoy it, even if the quarters are narrow and the decks small. And the prospect of spending a day on a trip to . Vancouver Island, on the spacious decks of the Indianapolis, and in the company of six or seven hundred of our friends, is particularly pleading. Well see you in Victoria! T H E DE^UNKERS MEET One.Act Play 1 Dramatis Personate: First, Second, Third, and Fourth Debunker. Time: This week.

The trip was made in a boat owned and operated by Clarence Locke, former Normal school student. The party left from the P. A.

As soon as camp was made the members set put exploring the island and the various beaches.--The party reported that the water was not cold and that swimming was ; The high, light of the trip^was the /heroic work of Bill Kelly v^and Aubrey Luridborg. it is "a* fish story and goes something like this.

As soon as the masculine heroes were well drilled 'in trie technique of defensive fighting it was decided to give the aforesaid shark the fight of its life. Mr. Lundborg was chosen head of the army and after giving explicit directions as to what to. do and what not to do he at once picked up a stone, and with the strength of a Goliath hurled, it at the shark, killing it at oiice, much to the! em-: barassment of . t he other members] who did not have a chance to show theirs bravery/; andmilitary skill The shark was taken from the water and tied to the erjid of the boat.: When- the party; broke up and;;be^ gan their homeward journey it was discovered- that the weight' of the shark retarded the process of the boat tb/such an extent that it was cast/ashore.

"I wouldn't miss the trip for, the world," is the sentiment of most of .us; but we are dependent upon the few misdirected students to .fill out the required number. Two years ago the entire student body made the trip. Two girls decided not to go, but they journeyed down to the dock to see the boat off, and as it pulled out into the bay tnese girls were filled with dejection— they realized their -mistake. These two same young ladies went, home and studied all day and prepared wonderful lessons—but—at school the nevt few days: Victorian culture, Victorian habits, Victorian institutions and Victorian scenery were discussed.

Blankenship, on the mound for the locals, made quick work of the first; three men facing him in the opening1 stanza. Auerenheimer fanned, Johnson was put out. at first on an infield bobble, and Anderson flied out to Church. In their half of the inning the Vikings accounted for one hit but Putnam, doing the hurling for the University boys, tightened up and fanned the last two men to face him. . _- - Things moved along until the first of the third inning, when the Seattle team found the feeling .of crossing home'plate. Dishnow and Cole were put out at first, but here, Putnam, feeling the urge- to win his own game singled. Auerenheimer following^ doubled to left field fence, scoring Putnam. On the next play- Swanson^ retired to a side with a put out on throw from right edges. The fourth" went scoreless but again, in the fifth, the "big school" boys were able to''push across runs. After three runs had been piled up Pop Gimn thought it about time'to do some changing. The change sent Lundberg to the mound, Blankenship to left field for Church, and Franz to second for Lundberg. Before the battle dust had settled in this inning, three more tallies were accounted for. One marker was scored in the sixth on several errors, one in the seventh on a hit and some more errors and the fatal eighth registered four more on three" hits and a flock of bungles. At the start of the ninth the Normal subs were given a chance to limber up ..their arms when nearly a new team took the field. Lund-, berg retired the side and then the home boys came to bat for the last time. Avengance was the only sign on faces. Korsborn, the gt; first up, fouled out to third base. On the next play. Blankenship" hit a high foul just outside, of the third base line. . Both the catcher and third baseman: made for' it. As both were watching only the . ball a crash seemed inevitable—it came. Norman, the third sacker, banged his head against Dobson, the catcher^ and down went the infielder. It took a few seconds to revive him, but when he arose he knew something had struck him. After resuming the play Blankenship was put out at first, Johnston made a long hit to" centerfield. Lundberg poked out an infield bouncer and Johnston was forced at second fending the game. Prom the score one might get the idea of a severe drubbing but, according to hits, the Normal team was hot so badly outplayed^ The Seattle bunch, was able, to collect ten safe hits while' the locals accounted for seven in their favor. _ Several faces on the University team were familiar to the spectators as being former students of the Normal. Jack Schneider, Earl Jewell, and Gussy Okerlund were all running around the diamond for blue and white at one time or another in the past. • .

To be eliminated entirely from the tournament is, to lose two matches. In the first round that was to be played by August 8, Schmidt won from Hess by a forr felt and defeated Kreshler in the second round of match play with a score of 86 to 79. i Koski won from Kreugel and Royston won from Clay. This manner of playing off the matches is a very fair, one as the wihrTers iri each round play winners and the losers play the losers. There is a movement started to settle for once and for all the supremacy of one girl above all the rest in the good sport of tennis by a process of the survival of the fitest. In the first round of this struggle to show superiority, Mc- Kelvey plays Davis, Johnson plays Hess, Lang plays McNeill, Gable plays Taylor, and Jolianson drew a bye. So far the only match that have bene played. Elizabeth Gable won from Betty Taylor 6-0, 6-3. By next week this cohtrovesy about the best player in school should be settled. This is a fair method because each person has to lose two matches before being eliminated entirely. —— -o " Annie Hicklin from the U. of W., a former student of this institution, was the guest of Edythe Matson and Elvera Abrahamson this week-end.

At first his parents were ashamed of him, and they still are. Scientists cannot solve the problem of his wonderful psychic mind. He was kept under close observation by eminent physicians and scientists for six months,, but it was no use; they could do nothing for him. Owing to numerous engaments with the crowned heads of Europe, no private readings can be given, but Poor Duke will answer a few of the most urgent questions that are sent to him, care of this paper. Write and ask him about your difficulties; if you have no troubles, write anyway and he will find you some. :-" OoO Normal Professor Just Home from Four-months, Tour British Isles and Europe, Tells Condition.

He .has completed a four-month's tour of the British Isles and Continental Europe. He traveled a total of 18,- 000 miles and visited ten different Countries. He tried to combine a study of political, social, economic and educational conditions with sight-seeing. He found the educational system in general to be inferior to that of America. Outside of Scotland,- their teacher training institutions are behind our own. Europe Has Advanced. Economically, continental Europe is ahead of her position before the war. Modern machinery and methods have been introduced in industry, to the extent that each country is producing far more efficiently and several times the quantity of goods produced in pre-war days. Economic conditions in England were found to be much behind those of the Continent, due to the ill effects of the coal strike. The unemployment situation is very critical, with more than a million and one-half people j9n the dole. Conference Good Measure. Mr. Williams, believes that the imperial conference recently held in London is destined to have a marked influence on both political and economic life in the Empire. Germany has .recovered to a wonderful degree. Prof. Williams states that Hamburg looks as prosperous as any American city. ' 3 Mr. Williams made a particular study of the co-operative associations of Denmark, where it has been carried out to a greater extent than any other place in the world. Czechoslavokia Interesting. Czechoslovakia was the mosfTinter-esting country visited. At present, the Agrarian political party are in control, but the real contest is between the Czech and the German groups. The University of Prague has over 12,000 students who are organized in a great student union. The State has By popular vote Elsa Pearl has been elected to succeed Grace Jacob-son on the Board of Control for four quarters. Miss Pearl comes to us highly recommended from the high school from which she graduated having been active there in numerous student activities. She declares that her policy as a representative will -be strictly nonpartisan regarding her sex; Miss Jacobson who has just completed the four quarter term, has done faithful service and will be awarded the coveted "Bar W" pin. KODAK ENTHUSIASTS ORGANIZENEWCLUB Aim to Develop Enthusiasm and Interest in Art of Amateur Photography Among Students. (Continued on Page Four). "This is a picture of Queen Marie— Where? Why that's her hat down in the corner." Do you know how .to get the most for your money when you put your Kodak in your pocket. and start on that hike ? Are you sure,- to have six good pictures on that roll—or doeB it all depend on your luck? Increased ability in the art.ofama-teur photography is one of the principal purposes of our new Camera club. . Students who are interested met for organization with Mr. Ruekmick arid Mr. 'Philippi in Room 105 last night and plans for the quarter were discussed. In addition to the practical aims, a deeper appreciation of the work of the camera will be gained. The formation of such a club is the result of the interest and enthusiasm of a number of students who are interested in this work. '-.

Fat Fellow in Fluttering Flivver Flees From Frightful Phenomena A fat man in a rattling Ford car suddenly jammed on his brakes and stared past the flapping window curtain. The place was the corner of High and Cedar at the southwest corner of the Normal campus. The time'was one of these_foggy evettr ings. "JerusalemI" he ejaculated, fervently, "But it's a wonderful age.-Only" t'other night I drove past ; here and7 there weren't no: tree. Now it's grow:; ing. there,' nice as ..you please."' His eyes were turned in the direction of the tall, leafless "locust tree which. was recently.••_ moved to that part of the campus from the row of locusts along the sidewalk in front of therbuilding. '.^. - ; v i '.''• He shookhis;head.

Perhaps the age of miracles has not passed. Perhaps the fat man was right in wondering how a itree could have sprung - up almost; overnight. The Normal students are wiser than the fat man. They have watched 'with interest the travels of several trees across the street from the new library site, and the meariderings of others across the campus. They have heard the squeaks of the metal, the groans of-" the branches, and the cries of the ^workmen.

WAS FORMERLY A HOBO Has Had Varied Life, Working in Chicago Stockyards, Later a Journalist, Now a Famous Poet. Townspeople as well as students and faculty are looking forward to the appearance of Carl Sandburg, American poet, who will be here January 15, in the second number on the lecture course. Mr. Sandburg has led an unusual and interesting life which has naturally affected his poetry. He was born in Galesburg, Illinois, and there received his education. After leaving collegs, he became a hobo and wandered all over the United States, learning much of various classes of people. Later he found employment in the stockyards of Chicago, spending his spare time in the writing of poetry. His start as a writer was made in hack journalism, and until recently he has served as motion picture critic on the Chicago News. Contrary to many poets, his crea-. tions have not been written for the purpose of earning—a living and is free from the influence of readers ,and publishers. His poetry is a queer exotic combination of beautiful expressions, deeply mystic in quality and resembling the old Norse sagas. He has the ability to create the most vivid of mind pictures. There is a vigor and strength in his lines, expressing a brutal realism, most prominent in his poems about Chicago. He is rated by critics as one of America's best contemporary poets. CITY ESTABLISHES ZONING COMMISSION President Fisher Is Member of Zoning Commission Established to Regulate Construction. The six appointive members of the city zoning commission who were named by Mayor John A. Kellogg Monday, December- 20, met in the mayor's city hall ofifce today and determined by lot their terms of office. The terms were allotted as follows: One year, W. G. Willox and Dr. T. M. Barlow; two years, H. H. Ells and F. M. Blomquist; three years, Dr. C. H. Fisher and F. E. Headrick. Before adjourning, the appointive members announced that they would meet with Mayor John A. Kellogg, and the three non-appointive commissioners— City Engineer J. C. Hills, Fire Chief Frank E. Stearns and Arthur Blythe, representing the park board—in the city council chambers at 8 p. m. Thursday, January 20. At that meeting, the first to be held _by the commission, a chairman will be selected. The zoning commission .was estab-; lished "by the city ordinance, passed by the "city council October 11, and published two days later. The ordinance provides that the zoning commission shall hold its first meeting kwithin«thirty days after January 1, when~the ordinance becomes effective and the board is capable of function-: ing. gt;'"-;'•;'..V:/;v;:-:'; -;';'.., ^'; : ^.['x' The object of the commission is to regulate the', type and material of building ^construction, to permit the segregation''.of^certain districts;.^ s lt;? ;fittedi t?nd devotion of suchidisy tricts to Aises^whiich .will make lot the development; ;pt i^lie ;^ity^ from ithe standpoint of sanitation, safety and Prospects for a successful debate season are looking better as each ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1927 January 7 - Page 2 ---------- ^ b H 8 h e d gt; b ^ ^ J R n t ^ a - i n tftePostoffice at Bellingham, Washington, as second-class: matter..

Velasco Gladys Burton Erling Thorsen Mark Jarrett _^ Ruth Sturman Phyllis Westover Edna Wise BACK TO SCHOOL We are once more on the threshold of another scholastic quarter. Just what the twelve weeks following mean to us, depends upon individual differences in attitude and view. To some, it means a constant grinding so to speak, a diligent devotion of all the minutes there are to the printed matters we carry back and forth to school. Rightly, it should be this way. It is the only justification there can be offered to our coming back, and to the sacrifices of those who have sent us here. To some, however, and we hope they are very few, coming back to school means merely escaping the obligation of doing some work at home or somewhere, and whiling time until Fate causes a significant turn in the course of their destiny. Coming back to school thus offers some food for thought and only in an early contemplation of it can its outcome be determined. Let us get down to work and burn the midnight oil to advantage and profit, that in the end we can pause and look back and exclaim: "My efforts were not spent in vain." BRING 'EM A BED Those "Kids'! in the front row of the auditorium are probably in the wrong pew. Judging from actions they should either be in bed or in the nursery department of the pre-primary grades. It is very annoying and disconcerting to a speaker to be continually swept off Ms feet by incessant volumes of noise from the pit immediately below him. This noise is caused primarily by too much "foot work" and general restlessness. Be considerate and try to act your age although you feel much younger. —o- EXACTLY WHAT WE H A y E BEEN WAITING FOR As forward looking students of this institution we are awaiting with anxiety the adoption of the Washington State Normal School Athletic constitution, by the Cheney and Ellensburg Normals. Under trie present system, (which is no system at all), a student may compete in a sport as many seasons as he is of Worth to the team. The proposed constitution for the three Normal schools places some restrictions upon the players. It demands of them certain standards of excellence in scholarship along with their athletic ability. (As examples of students who have combined scholarship with strenuous athletics, and have made a success of both, we need only look eastward to Notre Dame and bow to the famous four horsemen. In fact we have only to loojc within our own sanctuary behind some old bookcase and we discover Dan Beighle, an excellent scholar and a marvelous athlete). y There is probably not a positive correlation between scholarship and athletic prowess, but there, is enough correlation between the two to place some restrictions upon the athlete who "just gets by." The new plan if adopted will do away with the students who get the habit to "drift" from one school to another for football or basketball, announcing of school regulations, and such. The system now pending will also provide for a more reason-able distribution of awards, which will give the student who receives a "W" sweater a keener satisfaction in knowing that he has really earnc something and not just "had it given him." T A (By MARY WILLIAMS) The orchestra celestial of the music of the spheres Which goes ever throbbing, pulsing through the epic of the years Now has reached diminuendo in the interlude of dusk With the censers of the evening spreading sleep like dewy musk. And the sun with golden sandals now has trod across the waves And withdrawn the golden ladder which his regal footstep paves And the sea is wrapped in silence, and in mantles of the mist And a lonely ship goes outward, from the harbor bar, a mist. With a pilot all unmindful, all unchanted and alone °Whilethe little winds are fretting in a dreamy undertone • And the waves are softly lapping, and the under tow is keen And the evening starts gleaming where the boundless wastes are seen. •Oh! where flees the ship unguided, so our dreams have fled before! fWhile bereaved, bereft and lonely, we are standing on the shore!

S. N. S. have had what we call in every day parlance, a swell, grand and ' glorious vacation. The late nights, happy parties, crowded dates, and many other essentials of a real vacation, haunt my memory. So that in trying to revive, %o resume rather, the task imposed upon me by this column, I inevitably come to think that I am going to write on the past two weeks. But pause, gentle reader, can you expect from me experiences more thrilling, more unusual, or more entertaining, than those which you and the rest of us have had during the short time we were blessedly granted? The fact that membership in this club is based upon ability to write, shows that it will not just be a provisional organization... By its'nature, it is destined to be one that is enduring, endearing, and permanent in the galaxy of Normal student activities... This is also due to the fact that those who are in this club are undoubtedly serious and interested in the aims which the club has in view. At last the proposed and well-considered SCRIBES CLUB has been organized. At it has been predicted in this column the turnout for membership has been very encouraging. There are more applicants, than can be possibly accommodated. The school should be happy to'know that in an undertaking like this, where the ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1927 January 7 - Page 3 ---------- iSSfsSs l l l l ^ j t e ^ The Low Down BY NORBY ANNOUNCEMENT "Bolivar" Estill has left the Junior Varsity squad to join- the Soupers.

Fomia Wakin, vice president of the Wv A. A., had charge of the rally and briefly outlined the purpose of the recreation program for girl's, namely—to get every girl in school interested in some form of recreation and to establish a feeling of general good fellowship throughout the school. She also stressed the fact that co-opeation was very necessary in sports as well as in any other phase of school life. Instructions Given Miss Keller, who will have .charge of one section of basketball and one of volleyball, talked to the girls of the types of games to be played, the. kind of suit to be worn, and the manner in which attendance is to be marked. Swimming to Be Held Miss Weythman, who will have charge of one section each of basketball and volley ball and who will also coach the swimming ••' teams, told briefly of the plans for a swimming meet. This meet or demonstration will be held the latter part of the quarter and advanced swimmers are urged to I try out for the teams. Grace Phelps has charge of the horseback riding program. Each group was given two minutes in which to prepare a stunt typical of their sport and as a result, those interested in basketball proved that a ball was not necessary to make a good game. A very exciting contest was played in which a high score was piled up without the aid of a ball. Riders Give Demonstration The horseback riders demonstrated -the art of mounting a nervous steed, (the faithful hockey clubs acting the part) and proved that any one can learn to fall off a horse. A thrilling relay race was staged by the swimmers, in which all styles of strokes were used. The meeting closed with the.election of the following managers: Basketball Adrianne Vandegriend; volley bally Carrie Tucker; swimming, Gwendolyn Shakespeare.

Coach Carver's Varsity basketball squad opens its 1927 season tomorrow evening at 7:30 in the Whatcom High School gym against the Lynden Zebras. The Vikings have shown class in their pre-season workouts and are doped to havfe the best team in years, and are favored to emerge victorious; However, the creamery boys Jiold a 42-41 practice game decision over the Normal outfit, and as a result a close and exciting contest is looked for. There will be no preliminary. The Zebras are an independent semi-pro aggregation composed of former Lynden High School stars. They have on their roster many of the best ex-high school stars in the state. Among these are Roland Shagren, last year's all-district guard; Cliff Axling, all-state guard; Barney Eine, and Henry Meurer, former high school men. Vikings are Strong Acordingg to all available evidence, the Vikings will have a winning aggregation on the floor. With Ray Odell and Earl Keplinger, star forwards of 1926, and Lyman Stickney, guard on the same team, as a-nucleus, a complete squad of brilliant players has been built. Odell and Keppy, who led last year's men through the season with but three defeats, are even better this year. Stickney, probably the best guard in a Viking uniform for a long time, is continuingg his steady and dependable play. Jensen, the hew man from Chehalis, is favored over Ockie Thorson of Whatcom, for the tip-off post. He has the makings of a wonderful offensive man and basket-shooter, but appears a little weak on the defense. At the other guard position, Art Isaacson looks to be the best man. Playing in the City League, he has been the outstanding defensive man, and also has a good eye for long shots. Harry Benson is the chief rival for Isaacson's position, and may be in the opening line-up Saturday. Several new candidates for varsity honors have appeared this week, and may prove to be real stars. Standing out among these is Teddy Burke of Issaquah, a forward who has been highly recommended by Morrie Thomas, a Viking hoopster of several years ago. McCIurken of Richmond Beach, also has shown promise. jay Vees Conquer Shell Oil Team in a Practice Titi ,The Jayvees continued on their five game winning streak by defeating the fast Shell Oil hoop squad 37-22 in the Normmal gym Tuesday evenGetting off to^a flying start, the Vikings were , never headed.

These vacations were enjoyed by all the students of the school in many places not only in the State of Washington, but all over the United States. It is no longer the policy of this department to make a weekly list of those people going or coming* for week-ends or vacations but to put in stories, social happenings, such as dances, fudge parties, birthdays, etc. Please tell your house reporter to hand an account of it to the Messenger office.

Eight o'clock in the evening. In the social hall of the magnificent Edens Hall, joyous faces of co-eds gleamed in the splendor of the lights. RoBy lips murmured tender greetings ?and the company- was vivacious as~ a mountain rill in summer." -'-;.' •'..-.' • I quietly took a seat in a neglected corner, but fortunately as if guided by the invisible hands of Fate,* I found myself in the front line near a blushing member of the fair sex, who nodded to me a warm welcome. As I returned-the compliment with a graceful bow, I felt ar I. never felt before. I doubted my presence in that circle of co-eds. I heard the autumn wind whistling: among the trees in the campus, and I thot I was just in a dreamy mood. But I knew that in the exquisite brilliance of the room, I saw tangible human forms, and the next moment,1 as if wafted by the evening breeze, the following revived my senses: , fCoino^ rsweet'V^TO ;w^ Of av maiden:r^t in •; her^teens.. ^Frpfn •a; p dwtihce;v ^ •' lt;*• • f°* I whispered my humble name with all that solemnity and humility characteristic of oriental culture. Smiles met smiles. Conversation progressed, interspersed now and' then by sweet, hearty laughter, just-as the country summer breeze spreads now arid then the fresh and balmy odor of new-mown hay. The rooiri was like a-mountain rivulet murmuring as it glides along; :, y ,. ; "Cual es la gracia de Usted, Sen-iorita ?" It was my turn to ask her. ' ' • ' . * ' • * • " ' • ' - . " ' - i" In my B book there is now a name, dear and inspiring to my heart, and a rosary to my. lips. The sweet blessing of that rare and memorable night may be effaced from the tablets of iny. memory as Time corrodes my mental faculties, but can I forget the lovely maiden who owns thatr name, now often lisped by. my lips? Can I? The pendulum of Time swings unceasingly. But I can yet trace back the days to that blessed night of October 8, 1926. The End. Auditory Organs Severely Censured by Harsh Anatomy Critic of Today While this is not to be an erudite dissertation upon any grave subject, it is intended to call attention to one of the greatest hindrances in the path of human progress. This hindrance is ears—that is, external, physical ears; not that gifts, so highly prized, of receiving audible sounds by the sensitive inner mechanism. While ears are perhaps a necessity, there are many, or at least several, reasons why we, individually and collectively, would bo better off and happier without them. It is an undisputed fact that bric-a-brac is excessively liable to catch dust and other objectionable effluvia. Now ears, by reason of their shape and their many corrugations, hollows and ridges, prove themselves excellent in this class. It seems as though the small particles of dust hide from one another behind the bolder ridges, and in the deeper recesses, they have gatherings, resembling in color, an African Sunday School picnic. Everyone is aware of the necessity of- ablutions, frequently indulged in for the good of the human inhabitants of our sphere. Ears have, I think, proved themselves a great hindrance to the performance of this necessary rite. If a small boy, exhorted by material persuasion, is impelled to attempt the cleaning of his person, say above his shoulders— there would be little hesitation or difficulty in carrying out this procedure if it were not for those ever-present ears. It is humanly possible —while not perhap/s probable—for a small male child, under twelve years of age, to wash his face, hands and neck, but when two large and ample ears are added to this collection, juvenile endurance is . put to a strain to sustain this added burden. For a young child to gaze raptly into a mirror, only to be confronted by his visage flanked by a pair of ears, ranging in color from pink at the circumference to chocolate brown in the deep interior, and varying in shape from a shell to a scoop, is disheartening. He broods upon it and upon the impossibility of ever effecting a lasting change. At last, continued worry and mental strain bring about their, usual result,^and the child, a martyr to an unfeeling Nature, is incarcerated, in the bloom of his youthful existence in some home for the feeble minded, if Death itself does not claim the innocent one as a victim. . Truly, this is a direful picture but instances approaching the above, are all too numerous. I hope that the points brought out in this short dissertation have touched your heart, and that you, O fair reader, feel a measure (however small it maybe) PPPPP

The curtains will be draAvn on the JNormal baseball season Saturday afternoon "on Waldo field when Coach Earl Jewell's diamondeers clash with the TJniveristy of Washington Frosh . nine. . Although the Vikings defeated the Yearlings 6 to 3 at Seattle early in the season, it is not likely that they will vanquish them as easily Saturday. With* their lineup shattered by the loss of three star players, Eddie Win- «ard, hurler; Smith, catcher, and Johnson, outfielder, the Blue and White ball tossers have only an outside chance of winning. Coach Jewell's mound choice will be either Thorlakson or.Turner. Turner has been bothered with a sore arm and it is likely that Thorlakson will take over the pitching responsibilities. Other members of the Viking lineup will include Oscar Thorsen, Ted Clarke, Winnie Iverson, Zeke McClur-ken, Ray Odell, Ted Bailey, Karl Weber and Ben Hamilton. Although the Frosh cannot boast ah exceptional^ strong aggregation they have been winning ball games of late and will come to Bellingham at full strength. Elwood Davis, former Normal coach, is in charge of the freshmen nine. . : o Contracts Signed for Next Year Contracts for teaching positions are still coming in with great regularity according to reports from the Appointment Bureau.

LI OUTSTANDING EVENT New Era in History of School to be Inaugurated When Building is Formally Opened Tuesday. Tuesday, June 5 win ue one of the biggest days in the history of this Normal school, when the new $260,000 library building will be dedicated. Nationally famous as a librarian, Dr. James I. Wyer, former director of the New York State Library School, and present director of the New York State Library, will deliver an address at 2 p. m., in the auditorium. An inspection of the new building by the students, faculty and guests followed by a reception will be held following the dedication program. At 8 p. m. the building will be thrown open to a public inspection followed by a reception. All the books and furniture will be in place in the new library at the time of dedication. . o- Finals Approached in Intra-Mural Tennis NEXT YEAR With first and second round matches almost completed in the men's intramural tennis tourney, play is rapidly advancing to the finals, which will be held early next week. Warren Boyhtoh, erratic southpaw, pulled one of the biggest surprises in local net circles this year when he downed Main Church, Tuesday, 0-3, 8-0, to enter the final round. Theo. Norby, intramural 'champ last year, seems certain to be Boynton's opponent, and is favored to retain his title. To tlie winner of the match will go a minor sport "'W," emblematic of the title. The men winning their first matches and qualifying for the second round of play, are: Norby, who defeated Miller,. Parker, who downed Duncan, Korsboen, victor, over Sund-strom, Stickney, Boynton and Church. The men winning these matches will-play other winners, according to the elimination chart and then winners of the second round will meet in the third round to decide the championship. • ' . In the doubles only two teams are entered. They are: Church and Norby, ancl Hermseu and Erickson. These two teams will meet soon to decide the doubles title. Henry Turner, President of Inter- Club Council, with Committees, Formulates New Plan for Year. Interclub officers for the ensuing year were elected at its last meeting on Monday, May 21. Henry Turner was chosen president; Frieda Massey, vice-president; Naomi" Chase, secretary; Lyn Hughes, representative; Kristine Thordarson, representative. These officers will constitute an executive committee that will meet with the faculty committee, and they together, will discuss and solve interclub problems. Heretofore, Miss Hilda Rosene has been the faculty advisor and medium between her group and the students. This has been a difficult position, but the system has been improved upon for next year. The purpose of the council is a worthy one: "to promote the interests and the activities of all the students' organizations." The difficulty lay in the relative weakness of its laws and organizations. All points of the council's jconstitu-tion will be rigidly enforced next year, and any club failing to qualify in all respects to its standards, will be penalized or dropped. AUDIENCE PLEASED BY "NOVEL PIANO RECITAL An unusual recital of piano music was presented in last Tuesday's as,- sembly, when Vera Ginnette, Chaun-eey Griffith,,-M'clba Coffnian, and Le-uore Whithe, students of Aliss Edith Strange, gave a program of solos, two-piano, and four-piano numbers. Chauncey Griffith opened the program with three solos by Chopin, Mendelssohn-Liszt, and Liszt. "Suite Gothique," by'Bollmann, was a. selection of four variations played by the four pianists, two at each piano. The combined tones produced an effect from the softest play on the keys to a dynamic and melodious, ending. The third number on the program was a group'of solos by Vera Ginnette. Her second number, "Tango", by Albeniz-Godowsky, was especially well-applauded by the students. The final number was a two-piece selection, '"Espana," by Ohabrier, played by Vera Ginnette and Chauncey Griffith. Klipsun Hailed With Much Eagerness And Commendation by Student Body Yesterday's arrival of the Normal 1928 annual, the "Klipsun," was eagerly hailed by the entire student body. Although some did say the cover resembled hamburger and calico, it and what is enclosed, received much praise. The motive is strictly Normal life. No artificial theme was, worked out, such as last year's Chinese design. Even the division pages are sidelights on students' proceedings, . an interesting diversion from the usual insertions. '••'•• Fronu-tiie first peep under the Icov-er to the finishing page, one finds aii abundance of photographs, both of the-campus and of students. With this additional number of pictures is a corresponding cut of reading -material, arriving closer to the students' conception of an ideal annual. The humor . section is startling. Roy Arnett, the Feature/editor, has conjured some unusual /combinations of students as well asj caught some obviously natural ones. ••' - j : ' : - ; - -.

EXPERIENCE REQUIRED Certificates Are Only Awarded to Normal Graduates Who Have Had-24 Months' Experience. According to Miss Delia L. Keeler, chairman of the Life Diploma committee, 16S life diplomas have been granted this year to graduates of this institution by members of the faculty and Board of Trustees. The diplomas are now at the State Superintendent's office awaiting his signature. Many of them will be awarded at the Alumni Banquet at Edens Hall, Saturday evening, June 2nd. j Must Complete Quarter of Advaneed Work At present a graduate of the Normal is eligible to apply for a life diploma when he has taught twenty-four months and has satisfactorily completed one quarter of advanced work in this institution or in an institution training for elementary teachers approved by this institution. This additional quarter of work may be done after one year of teaching experience, subsequent to graduation. Persons holding the Special formal School diploma, (three year course) at present are not required to do the additional quarter of work. The law requires proof of twenty-four months of successful teaching experience.

For most of us these two years have been years of happiness. We have worked and we have played, but we have enjoyed ourselvs in Both. Most of us, here with a definite purpose, have profited vastly from our contacts, our increase in knowledge, our growth. We are glad to have been here, and we are also glad to pass on, for we go on to bigger and better things. A few years hence and we of the class of 1928 shall be but a memory. Among many classes we shall have been only one—one of many which have come and gone and become but memories. Some of us will go on, continuing to grow, and will make names for ourselves; others will be less fortunate. Yet we all go with opportunity for success, whatever that may be, of some kind or other, looking toward the fu-iure, still not forgetting the past. To many of us, Bellingham has meant a great awakening. Here we have discovered what we never knew existed, and have found ourselves. We have enjoyed our short sfey here. Why should we not have regrets at leaving? We are leaving two of the best years of our lives behind. And ahead, what? With less than one short week left for many of us, do you blame us altogether for waxing melancholic, somewhat sad? Less than a week, and we shall be gone, but we shall take with us memories of what we have seen, and heard, and done, with joy in our hearts, a new understanding of things, a greater outlook on life, and the kindest of thoughts for Bellingham Normal. o ATTENDANCE REGULATIONS CHANGED No longer are our grades to suffer when we are absent from classes because of illness or athletic trips, for the attendance regulations have been changed in part. The faculty, in regular meeting Wednesday afternoon, after much discussion as to the merit of the act, decided that the present regulations regarding illness and athletic trips should be abolished. With respect to illness, it was felt that many really S1ck students were attending classes, to prevent their grades from suffering, therefore the change. All illness properly reported to the school nurse will automatically be excused. Members of athletic and debate teams, school representatives to conferences, or any students absent at the request of the school, will likewise be exempt from the attendance rule The changes announced are retroactive, going into effect at the start of the present quarter. LIFE DIPLOMAS TO BE PRESENTED Student Opinion "Heaven help the poor boy. He has to stand for the modern girl." This seems to be the common opinion of the men students of this institution. No wonder lie can't find his ideal girl. There are so many he can't pick out one. Perhaps if he'd take time out and look around he would Tealize' his good fortune. At any rate, we hope he will find his ideal. "The more one gets, the more one •wants," is very true in this case. No, girls aren't what they used to be. They used to set standards, you say? I'oor boy, he can't set his own. Since the girl has fallen : so low, the boy has fallen with her. My, my, what is the world coining to? If a boy can't find his ideal why isn't it just us logical to say the- . girl is raising her- standards. The boy finds each girl so different from the rest, he doesn't know what he likes best. However, I. still maintain that a boy Jhas a certain amount of respect for a girl no matter how "low" he may think she has fallen. No boy with any respect for a person on this earth, male or female, could say such crude things about his "ideal 2irl." Each quarter that a student is enrolled in this institution, he is asked to pay a certain small fee for class dues. The freshman class at their last class meeting, voted to have a higher class dues. The continual cry of a class is, '"'We need more money to throw bigger and better parties." . Who takes care of all this money ? What is.-done with any that is left over? Is it used for anything else besides the parties that the class has each quarter? Is it budgeted? "v- How many can answer these questions?. We all pay class dues. We all have a right to know all that is done with it. Just; how! is-it taken care of ? (Continued from Page One) son (Bellingham Tulip Queen' 1923), Etta Davis LaThorp, Violet Burmas-ter- McDugle.

Spikes .'.Cleats Rackets Well, folks I'm home sick with chicken pox, small pox, or whatever kind of pox you can think of, so you may expect the worst. Anyhow, I'm not writing this column this time, so don't blame,me. Most of you will bo gone in another week, and I'll still be here, so naturally I'm going to say what I please—unless I offend someone a little larger -than' I. We can't say that this quarter's record in mens athletics has been anything to brag about, still the fellows have done pretty well. And don't forget the good form our women athletes have shown. After the excellent showing our baseball team has been making, in view of t h e handicaps it is laboring under, it certainly deserves a good t u r n o u t tomorrow afternoon when t he Washington Frosh are encountered. If the fellows are clicking the agate like- they did a week ago, we need not worry about a victory. Norm Bright's performance of 4:39 in his t i m e t r i a l Tuesday afternoon proves beyond a doubt t h a t our s t a r young miler h a s better things ahead of him. Any runner who can make such time in his first year of competition is bound to improve greatly his second, if he keeps in condition and doesn't burn himself up. And don't forget Ray Jewell's performances this spring. In garnering thirty-seven points in three meets, all of which were lost by his team', he must have established some kind or another of a scoring record. * » # -» This year's southpaw tennis team, of Myer Thai, Bob Fisher, and Nick Bond, wliile not an unusually successful one, made a creditable showing, especially in its last match against the Frosh. And by t he way. Bellingham Normal seems to have a monopoly on port siders. In addition to the v a r s i ty trio, both Theo. Norby and Warren Boyton, intramural finalists, sw(ing their racquets from the wrong side. -"- V * £• In the past loo, Viking cowl teams have always been represented by members of the wilder brotherhood. Both Thai and Fisher helped out in 1927; Bernard Sul-lioan was second man in ' 2 6 , and Ed Hannah, probably the best of them all, performed for two or three years beforehand. DEDICATION -, In view of our great accomplishments in t h e field of scholarship, literature, et cerera, we believe t h a t it^ is only f i t t i ng to dedicate this column to ourselves. T h e r e fore—here's to Elden Bond. May he ever be as he i s now, as wise, as j u s t , a nd as intelligent. INTRA-MTJRAL BASEBALL VIKING NET SQUAD ' DOWNED BY FROSH Makes Good Showing Despite Fact That All Six Matches are Lost. Clash Concludes 1928 Season Although defeated in every one of i t s six matches with the University of Washington Frosh net aggregation, t h e Viking varsity tennis squad, which brought i t s season's competition to a ciose Saturday when it met t h e Yearlings on t h e Normal courts, put up nn excellent brand of tennis and made what might be considered an excellent showing. While failing to walk off with even-one victory, the Vikings extended their highly-rated opponents in every match, putting up an excellent batt l e and only succumbing because of the easily evident higher calibre of the Frosh. ,; Frosh Are Good The young Huskies came here with a reputation of being the best first year squad the University has ever had, this in s p i te of l a s t year's team, which played in Bellingham, and boasted Billy Ncwkirk, number one v a r s i t y man t h i s year. The Frosh also lield an easy early-season vict o r y over the Vikings at Seattle, when they literally smothered the Blue and White warriors. Their four-man team, composed of George Hoyt, Svere Rostgaard. Dick Sharp and Bill llurrell, rated almost as highly as t he U. of VY. varsity, found unexpected opposition in the Viking quartet of stars, several of the matches being bard-fought until the last point was played. Matches Close Myer Thai, Bob Fisher. "Nick" Bond, and ••Chuck" Erickson opposed the Yearlings, playing in t h e order named. Match results: Hoyt, Freshman, defeated Thai, Bellingham, 0-4, G-2: Rostgaard, Freshman, defeated Fisher. Bellingham, 10-S. (5-2: Sharp, Freshman, defeated Bond, Bellingham. (i-1. 0-2; HurrelL Freshman, defeated Erickson, Normal, 8-0, 5-7, 0-2. Hoyt and Sharp, Frosh, defeated Fisher and Thai, Bellingham. 0-1, 0-4: Hun-ell and Rostgaard, 'Frosh, defeated Bond and Erickson, Bellingham, 4-0, 6-1. 0-4. As the scores indicate, the .Frosh were given a battle by the Viking team. The match between Hoyt and Thai proved to be t he outstanding one of t he day's activities. Both men were at top form and played sparkling tennis, but Hoyt, demon-s t a t i n g almost faultless net play and uncorking a well-balanced reserve of shots, lived' up to his reputation to t a k e the decision. At t h a t . Thai played some of t he nicest points ever to be seen in t h i s vicinity. The Fislier-'Rostgaard encounter was another corker, with Rostgaard exhibiting a drivt ! than was never-failing in i ts accuracy. Point after point was brilliantly played, and the lankv Normal southpaw only succumbed after once having his opponent a t point set. '•'Chuck" Erickson -showed unexpected ability in h is match with llurrell, and forced him to t h e limit to lose in a three set match in which the result was in doubt, until the final game. Sharp, Frosh third man, completely outclassed Bond in their VIKINGS DROP STATE TRI-NORMAL TITLE TO ELLENSBURG IN THREE-GAME SERIES After threatening to send Ellens-burg down to defeat in t h e i r three game series here last week the Viking ball tossers Aveakened and dropped the l a s t two contests of the series to allow the W i l d c a t s ' t o ret u r n home with the tri-Normal title in their possession. Coach Earl Jewells athletes spilled the dope bucket ail over the pastures of Waldo field Friday afternoon when they slammed their way t o a 20 to 10 victory over Coach Roy Sandberg's charges in the series opener. Working well behind the consistent hurling of Henry Turner, t he Blue and White team batted the ball to all corners of the lot to t a k e a conipartively victory. Home runs by Thorlakson and McClurken featured the contest. The Eastern Washington team however, retaliated for i t s defeat Saturday morning when it came back and- took the Norsemen into camp S to 0 behind the masterful pitching of McMahon. McMahon was practically invincible allowing only six scratch hits, while his mates found the offerings of Thorlakson, Viking twirler, to their liking and pounded out nine hits. With a four-run rally in t h e n i n th inning lt;»•" t n c deciding game of the series. Ellensburg defeated the local school S to 4 to co]) t he tri-Normal Vsi.Il title. The score was tied 4 to 4 u n t i l the final stanza, when Sandberg's proteges started a procession around the bases that netted them four tallies. Turner started in the box for the Vikings but gave way "in t he fourth inning for Thorlakson, on account of a sore arm.

HOLLIS VICK SPEAKS TO LEADERHIP CLASS "Graduation was the theme of the unusual decoration scheme used by the sophomores to give color to the last party they will offer at Normal, the "Exodus,' held Tuesday evening, May 29, in the big gym- Diplomas tied in blue ribbon, hung from every ceiling light. A center piece was a huge diploma strung with small lights. Jerry Curtis' orchestra, dressed in the traditional cap and gown of the graduate, and behind a rostrum, forgot the dignity of. the senior and played snappy music to which a good sized crowd. responded with lively dancing and frequent calls for more. Punch was served under a diploma-hung arch on the landing. UNIVERSITY WOMEN PICNIC Semiahmoo Spit, between Blaine and Ferndale, proved to be the ideal spot for the American association University women to have their business meeting and party, last Saturday, May 26th. Leaving Bellingham at ten forty-five, thirty-five members left in cars, provided' for them, for one of the biggest and best parties. On arriving at their destination, dinner was served them. The lovely day and the sandy beach lured them into clam digging and swimming. Along with pleasure, busines was mixed but in such a way it was fun. The installation of the new officers took place and committees were elected. The ex-president, Miss Anna J. Peterson, of the Training school, turned the meteing over to the new president, Miss Inez Douglas, of Bellingham. Miss Augusta Pragst of Normal Training school, was elected chairman of the Ways and Means committee; Mrs. Foster, of Bellingham, chairman of the Public Committee; Miss Nora B. Cummins, Bellingham, chairman of the Inter-Relations committee. Some of the members were taken on on an interesting tour through the Alaskan cannery on Semiahmoo Spit and saw how the cans for salmon packing were made. The party returned to Bellingham late Saturday evening. OFFICE NOTES Dinner For Office Help Last Monday night a dinner was given by all the girls working in school offices in honor of Miss Madge McKinnon and Miss Bertha Sundeen. who are leaving at the end of this quarter.

Climaxing the success of the Leadership Class for the Spring quarter Miss Hollis Vick's Girls' Reserve Leader-'of Bellingham lectured to Miss Rosene's class last Monday evening. Her lecture on "The Girls' Reserve" explained the organizations their ideals and honors obtained through the girls' intensive concentration and work on the fundamentals of life and philosophy of education. The Girl Reserve organization brings out many educational qualities to the foreground of a girl's'activity while being a member. An important point brought out was the fact that a girl to be able to be a wearer of the Girl Reserve's ring, must be able to explain the significance of wearing the ring and tell the secretary why she deserves the honor and what the Girl Reserves really mean to her. A girl's character, personality, and physical strength can be well-developed through the sincere effort of the achievements, of the girls as a whole are recognized. Miss Vicks gave the girls small booklets about the Girl Reserve Ring Plan, as this has been a recent change in the Organization. o BARRETT HALL GIRLS VISIT The Misses Inez Saari, Elma Saari nen and Evaline Cowan/were weekend guests of Miss Ruth Butler at her home in Burlington.

MEN'S CLUB WEST SEATTLE OTHER SCHOOLS By ROY SUNDSTROM NORMAL STUDENT (S Mr. Ruckmick Forms Training School Glub Today the "Normalite" opens under new management—bigger and better than ever (we hope). And to •you, our patient readers, greetings, in the words of "Texas" Guinan: "Hello, Suckers!" W. S. N. S. ' . The Men's Club has been stirring uneasily in its shallow grave throughout the past week and presently its corpse will rise and walk among us again. The Men's Club is funny that way. Each fall it gets under way with a burst of enthusiasm— enthusiasm which gradually -dies away until meetings of the Club could be held in one of the telephone booths. What the Club does is done well, however, especially when it puts on an informal, and that's what is in the wind just now. The Men's Club Informal, under the able management of Joe Hermsen, Jr., Normal's' -premier terpsichorean impresario and entrepreneur, will undoubtedly be t h e best and biggest dance of the year. Get your dates now and your tickets as soon as possible—you won't want to be turned away. — W. S. N. S. The game with West Seattle A. C, Saturday, Oct. 12, will be a splendid opportunity to get a line on the strength of -the Viking foot-ball'squad. The West Seattle A. C. "teams are nobody's set-ups, and if t h e Vikings get over Saturday's game, we may look forward to a very successful season. W. S. N. S. Seventy-seven members have been added to the Washington State College faculty this fall. Indicating that business is picking up" over there. — W. S. N. S. Whittled out of "Collegiana", a column in the U. W.

"Students will be furnished with ropes, but they must supply their own gum, according to the new instructor. W. S. N. S. Lynden, Bellingham and Normal Are Represented in Atwater- Kent Radio Singer's Contest. YOUNG, FIRST WINNER Frances Young Won in the Normal Elimination Contest Over Radio Station K-V-O-S, Last Friday Excerpt from Pres. Spencer's ad- . dress of welcome and advice to U. of W. students: "At the University of Washington we are not interested greatly in how much you learn, but in whether or not you acquire the habit and practice of thinking independently. It is not our care whether you store your minds with book knowledge, with facts and theories, but whether or not you build in those minds a • guiding sense of the changeless, ageless values of life." The more we think about this, the less we like it. Read it carefully, and then perhaps you will wish to compete for the handsome second-hand cigar butt, which we are offering as a prize to the student who submits the best criticism. W. S. N. S. Three hundred thirty-two ballots were, cast in the student body election at Cheney Normal School, herd Sept. 20. The new line-up is: Phil Jones, president; Sarah Wilson, vice president, and Dorothy Littlemore, secretary. 332 out of an enrollment of about 700— much the same ratio as our own. —: W. S. N. S.

Winning from Barbara Bourne in a close contest, Dorothy Walker, Normal student, was named to represent Whatcom county in the state finals of the Atwater-Kent National Audition, to be held at Seattle, October 17. Harry Bajema, of Lynden, was the boy chosen from this county. The county finals were held last Monday, October 7, over radio station K-V-O-S. The aim of the contest is to discover the best young non-professional voices in the United States, and to give to the singers an opportunity for training. Scholarships and awards totaling $25,000 are being offered by the Atwater-Kent people. Dorothy Walker Wins "Miss Walker and Miss Bourne were asked to sing three songs after the regular trial before the judges decided upon Miss Walker as the winner. In the Normal elimination contest held last Friday, October 4, at the radio station, Wayne Priem, Francis Young, Dorothy Walker, Barbara Bourne, Donald Stickney, Kermit Smith, and Grace Hess, all Normal students, entered. In the elimination contest Frances Young was given the decision, but she failed to carry the final. Frances Young was the winner over Barbara Bourne, and Dorothy Walker, however, Miss Bourne and Miss Walker were both allowed to sing in the county finals, in which Mis Walker was selected as the best. Judges were: Mrs. C. X. Larrabee, Harold Smith, Mrs. C. H. Barlow, Mrs. Sidney Stark, Mrs. Bernice Wahl, Mr. Paul Wells, and Mrs. Albert Raymond. There is some interesting work being started in conection with the training school at the Industrial Arts' building under the direction of Mr. Herbert C. Ruckmick. In response to an announcement that a Hobby Club was to be formed and activities carried on with student teachers in charge of small groups, over forty-five interested Training school pupils turned out to the first meeting, Wednesday afternoon, October 9. Because of the limited amount of working space, however, Mr. Ruckmick expects to be able to handle only about twenty, with a waiting list • open in case of members dropping out. A suggestive list of hobbies from which the groups may make selections was advanced at the meeting, including boat building, photography, woodwork, metal work, and block-printing, small furniture making and radio construction. The student teachers in charge of the groups will have ample time and opportunity to follow their own inclinations as to the manner in which the work is to be carried on, and Mr. Ruckmick will act as supervisor over all proceedings.

Freshman Election Held Monday Noon Griffin, Swanson, Kent, Rich, and Fowler Are Students Elected in Sophomore Assembly Wednesday. PLATT IS CLASS ADVISOR CdEDY IS GIVEN Buttedahl's Personal Appearance With Songs and Readings Before Film Is Enjoyed by Audience. • gt; / • Norway's most famous and successful feature comedy film, "A Mountain Romance", was presented by Saebjorn Buttedahl to an appreciative audience at the Normal Auditorium, last Tuesday evening. October 8,.^ under the auspices of the Scandinavian Fraternity. The picture was one of eight reels, and was adopted from the old Norwegian Comic Opera, "Fjeldeventyret", written by Hendrik Bjorregaard, I Norway's first great poet. Buttedahl in Person Mr. Buttedahl's personal appearance, in which he presented songs and readings in Danish, Swedish. Norwegian, and English, was received with appreciation. He is distinguished as an actor and sculptor both in Norway, his native country, and in the United States. His ability as an actor was well demonstrated as he interpreted different characters in his readings. Most of. his offerings were of a humorous nature, but he also struck a responsive note when he gave as a reading Robert W. Service's "The Parson's Son". Film Unusual The film itself was refreshingly different from the ordinary run of moving pictures we see. The plot was laid in the magnificent scenery that abounds in the mountainous regions of Norway, and although it contained a great many humorous characters and situations, it was unified and made interesting by its theme, the "Mountain Romance". The bare plan of the story, that, of a beautiful girl who wished to marry a man .not pf her father's choice, while it was not new, was presented in such an With the election of officers held Wednesdey noon, October 9, the sophomore class organized for the year's school work. Those who will be in charge of the affairs, of the second year students are: Bert Cole, president; Louise Griffin, vice-president; Ann Swanson, secretary; Mildred Kent, treasurer; Harold Rich, inter-club council representative; Mary Elizabeth Fowler, sophomore editor of the Klipsun;' and Miss Ruth Piatt faculty advisor. Miss Piatt also acted as advisor for the members of this class when they were freshman. Both the president and class advisor were elected by the unanimous vote of the class. Candidates for the various offices were: President, Bert Cole; vice president, Louise Griffin, Gladys Smith, secretary, Ann Swanson, Helen Fiti gt; water, Katherine Friese; treasurers Mildred Kent, Martin Jackson,,Al-ice Goodfellow, Margaret Hubbler; council representative, Harold Rich, Art Graverock; sophomore editor of the Klipsun,' Mary ElizaLeth Fowler, Ruth Sammons, Mildred Kent; faculty advisor, Miss Piatt. o As a concert pianist he is well known all along the Pacific Coast-while his compositions have been presented by Levitsky and other pianists of renown in their programs. The criticisms his compositions have received on that account predicate that he will in time become famous as an American composer. According to William Gepperty, well known music critic, "This musician is one of the young Americans who will in time become famous, and who is giving to the good people of the Pacific Coast t t he results of his genius and his ambitions. He has given concerts recently in the states of California, Oregon, and Washington. Let it be observed that here are the centers that are not reached by the great artists that we hear so often in the more fully developed Eastern sections, and it is here that the plans of Mr. Hopkins are being carried on". Mr. Hopkins will, present a well arranged program of his own compositions. Friday, October 18, will be devoted to a regular assembly, for which a good deal of important business has been planned.

S. A. C\ team has on its squad some members that were stars in football with some college or university. But, worra, worra, all the Vikings need to swamp the Seattleites is the present stamina and fight along with a whole-hearted Normal rooting section.

So far, there are forty-six musicians in the orchestra, eight of them Normal students. Of this fact we are justly proud—and because Mr. Harold B. Smith, our Music department chairman, is the director, we are not only proud but feel that we have the main claim on the Little Symphony. The first concert that the orchestra will give will be on November 26, a date all of us will save as well as all the other evenings when the Bellingham Little Symphony entertains. So here's to the Symphony's second and most successful season. o MEN—BE T A C T F U L! The Women's League Informal is one of the most delightful social events of the season. It is difficult, in that girls (shy, shrinking'violets) become horribly self-conscious and terror striken at the mere thought of sidling up to the boy she likest best to ask him to accompany her to the Informal. But, after he is asked and he accepts, what fun it is to plan and program for the coming event. To the men in the school, we wish to say—make it easy for the girls —remember how you felt in quest of your first date! How terrible you felt when she refused you because of a conflicting engagement—now you're hardened—used to being rebuffed and accepted—but, remember and have pity on the poor girls who have debated weeks on how best to ask you—be tactful! o— O U R L I B R A RY A full time schedule began at the library last Monday, handicapped bjy a short staff who wish the students to know they are ready to help in any way they can. We are invited to co-operate with them in making our library the most efficient and useful for the entire student body and in maintaining the high standards formerly practised. We are to use it, study in it and help others by being as quiet as possible. This is the second year under the new roof and it is hoped the new members of the school cherish it and care for it as the faculty and old students do. —H. R. "As You Like It" By J. G.

TODAY'S TREMBLING THOT "Young students—catch that flaming' torch". College Aptitude Test "Can you count up to 12 without removing your galoshes?" Student Opinion THE SELECTED GROUP That you are meeting the entrance requirements of Normal is 'proof that you are one of a selected group. At the end of this quarter, students who do not come up to the scholastic standard are dropped and the school acquires a still more select group-—Please don't be one of those weeds—who have to be dismissed at the quarter's end. It is another application of the old law of the "survival of the fittest". This institution wants you, but it expects the best that you can give. Put forth every effort—because we like to have you here. —V. C. A COMPARISON Two new items printed almost simultaneously, one from the British Press and the other from the American, furnished food for very serious thought. The one from the London Daily Mail brands a couple of Washington girls who were visiting England, as two American "hussies". The ' other item from an American paper, in speaking of Miss Ishbel Mac- Donald, a British girl, and a guest in America, says, "Miss MacDonald has been so busy all her life learning how to be agreeable and wholesome that she hasn't had time to worry about how she looks and, as a consequence, looks lovely". We all feel that Miss MacDonald must tjje charming as well as all the English girls, whom in a way she represents. It is not the fact that she is the British Premier's daughter that makes us like her—it is because her every move bespeaks good breeding. " To be well bred is the universal way to the hearts of every people; it does not depend on manners or wealth; on iamily or on ancestry; good breeding is kindness and thoughtfulness for the feelings of every day being. , Lindberg possessed it to a superlative degree, together with the dash of fine independence which is as typical of American as is their pleasing f reserve, a part of the English people. We hope .that England will con- , tiniie to regard him as typical of American youth and that we can live •,up to the proud reputation he made for.us. ; v ; ; f A f t e r aH; it is m i^uct; of jieach; an^ The men of the school, yes—there are about—-well they are about to throw a big dance.

Heretofore there has been a system that has worked well but evidently the system has gone on the rocks. Perhaps this can be blamed to lack of knowledge on the part of the freshmen but it should seem Jogical to anyone that there is only room for five rows of parked cars, and this only when they are parked ' ven and with the plan. Anvone with a piece of an eye and half a brain lobe should be able to see the reason for not blocking the alleys between the rows by parking facing the school or closing them by narrowing them down at the fire hydrant. Also parking so close to the tennis courts that it is hard to make the turn is poor sportsmanship. A toast to the better parking movement. —A F O R DOWNER The first meeting of. the Men's club held at Edens Hall last Saturday night, succeeded in its purpose in getting the Men and the Faculty of the school acquainted.

Bellingham Backfield Runs Wild to Pile up Large Score Against Green Port Townsend Eleven. gt;id*c*di«6 lt;fc This is "Chuck" Erickson catching a pass thai is going to be the defeat of the West Seattle squad. The game last Saturday seemed to be nothing but one touchdown after another for the Vikings, but for the Navy a different story. It kepti the Navy's reserve men busy carrying their team mates off the field. / wonder how many people are • going to be hurl Saturday during the rush to gel a good seat in the grandstand ? If the Vikings treat the West Seattle team in the same manner as they did the Navy, what a game it will be! (Heh, Heh!) Rumor has it that there is going to be some school spirit aroused around the institution. I think that would be "plenty good".

Before Roy Sundstrom, there was the Plague of Pharoahs—then Roy came along, registered and began attending B. S. N. S., and for the last 4 or 5 decades has been in attendance occasionally... Roy is probably the only student here who had already pitched his tent and was waiting for the school to be built. —J. G.

Coach Lee Rankin's Fairhaven eleven played a hard-fought battle with Stanwood, Friday. The final score was 6 to 6. Stanwood displayed good football under their new .cbach^^'c^arles^^tlen^^former-. Iy coaph at Toledo Wgh school, in tewfc rounty. V; •.;•.".;;'.:'v;: A frisky Viking backfield showed altogether too much speed for the inexperienced Coast Guard boys from Port Townsend and turned what was supposed to be a football game into a very one-sided track-meet, with the final result a 76 to 0 victory. Coach Sam Carver gave every man on the squad a chance to show his stuff (which was plenty, at least for the rumehasers). The subs did not show as much teamwork as the first string, but had plenty of speed and fight. Scores Early The scoring started early in the first quarter. Bellingham kicked-off to the Coast guards' 40-yard line, and then held them to no gain for two downs, and threw them for a loss on the third. The Vikings took the ball on their own 38-yard line on a punt, and marched to a touchdown, Erickson carrying the ball across the line. • They repeated the performance twice, with Flowers doing the scoring. Shelton did some nice drop-kicking, making two out of three tries count for points. In the second quarter the second team backfield carried on the good work. Burich made two touchdowns, running 45 yards after intercepting a pass to score one of them. Iverson scored the other touchdown of the quarter after a pretty 35-yard run by Car el ton had placed the ball in scoring territory. Starts Fast The second half started off with a bang. The Coast Guard punted after receiving the kickoff. and on the next play Flowers slipped through the line and galloped 60 yards to score. A few minutes later Ellis ambled 45 yards to another touchdown, and Erickson heaved a pass to Cardwell for an extra point. Then just to keep things going, Moe intercepted a pass on the second play. after the kickoff and dashed 35 yards to score. In the last quarter a new team put in by Coach Carver continued to run wild through the Coast Guard, defense, scoring three more touchdowns. Eacreet made one, and Stone quickly repeated the performance. Cole Scores Last In the last few minutes of play Stone crossed the goal line after a 55-yard run, only to have the ball brought back to the 35-yard line. Whereupon another young fellow named Cole seemed to get the idea, and went that 35 yards on the next play to finish the days scoring. As a whole, the team looked pretty good, showing a fast, shifty, offense and a good defense. The only way the Coast Guard could make yardage was on passes, and the Viking backfield busted up most of the attempts. Just how the team will look against experienced competition is still a matter for conjecture, however. The Coast Guard team was made up mostly of inexperienced men who had not played together much.

U. of W. Linemen Star in Fray, However, Washington Was Outplayed. Coaches Carver and Gunn are to Guide Vikings Soccer and Swimming Turn-outs Are First in Girl's Sport Program The University of Washington's football team went in to action last Saturday against "Montana in a game that had been regarded beforehand as a practice session. When the final whistle blew leaving the score tied at 6-6 the Huskies realized that a "trail horse" may still have an unusual kick. In the final ten minutes of play, Montana, taking advantage of Washington's sloppy defensive play, passed and drove the ball from near the middle of the field to Washington's goal. Failure to convert gave them a-tie rather than a victory, but the fact that they tied with a team usually considered above their class, upset the pre-game dope and made things look dark for the Bagshaw machine. Game Slow The game was slow from the start, j Washington's linemen, as individuals, stood out, but lack of team play was evident. The backs, especially Hufford, turned in good individual performances- but they lacked smoothness and co-ordinated action that rolls up the score. Hufford, Husky back, starred in making the only Washington touchdown, but he was soon removed to the sidelines. Hufford Gone With Hufford gone Washington seemed to lose the old spark, and, though they were always dangerous, they failed to score—Guhan at quarter, which he played a good game, did not show up well in generalship. Montana's line men not only outplayed Washington's herd of giants, but her backfield showed speed and power. They "checked" at the right time, too, for passes to their.speedy back, Morrow, worked many times for long gains and were responsible for the tying score. Washington Outplayed Altogether, Washington was outplayed and out-fought. A smoother running aggregation must be produced before the Huskies can stand a chance against the other conference teams. o NEW LINOLEUM Part of .the delayed shipment of linoleum for the floors of the various new offices of the building has arrived and a speedy job of laying was completed last Tuesday. Of course the work necessitated the moving of all office furniture, but it was carried through with-very little disturbance of school routine. The remaining part, which was ordered from the East, is expected to arrive within three or four weeks. COACH SAM CARVER The success of a football team depends largely on the coaches. One thing we have is two good coaches. Sam Carver has been head coach of athletics for the past fifteen years. He has attended University of Oregon and University of California, specializing in coaching. During the summer Carver made a special study in coaching at the Leland Stanford University. There is plenty of material out this season for eveiy position. The spirit is good with every fellow fighting hard. I believe with the loyal support of the student body that we can turn out a creditable team. The first soccer turnout of the quarter was held Wednesday afternoon, October 9. A large group signed up „for the sport, which will be coached by Miss Margery Hor-ton. Marion Norwood is head of the sport. Splash Hour The first splash hour of the quarter was Thursday evening, at the Y. W. C. A. tank, from 7 to 8 o'clock for beginners and from 8 to 9 for the more advanced swimmers. The Y. W. splash hour has for some time been a popular institution among the girls who are interested in water sports and it is expected that a large group will attend each week.

Joe Baruch, sub quarter, will fill the shoes of Erickson perfectly if anything should happen. • Neither coach has any statement to make about the outcome of the game but they do believe if more students would turn out to see the game the team would fight all the harder.
