We feel that there might be some delusion abroad to the effect that it is the feminine influence that has brought about this change to "ette" from the more virile "ite". Now we would like it understood that the feminine influence had nothing to do with it, but it was the diminished size of the paper that fostered it. You know we really don't mind, .because we feel much more unassuming as suits our character and policy so much, better. But don't forget the wisecrack Kipling made about the "female of the species". • * * * * We rejoice to note that the administration saw fit to insure the complete attendance of the Normal (very normal, in fact) male population to Tuesday's assembly by presenting the fourth appearance this year of Gemma Paglieri. We are assured that the hearty bursts of applause which receive Miss Paglieri's numbers cannot be due entirely to the great musical appreciation of the audience. * tf if « We are accorded a wealth of really fine musicians who give the best they are capable of and before they are through their program, they are entertaining only half their original audience and those are probably" only staging out of politeness or for the righteous feeling they sense for the whole day afterwards, Prom the result of the questionnaires circulated last quarter and the comment that has been current so far this quarter, we notice that there is an abnormal lot of complaint towards the Viking about the lack of women's sports featured. Now, we are not trying to be unreasonable or anything like that, but we would like to remark or at least suggest that the women get some sports first. Whereupon if our iritention' was to be facetious, we might remark that if the women could not get their own sports they really should hot regard the Viking as a matrimonial bureau—or something. • : . • , ' # ' * lt; • • * ' • ' .' Apropos of nothing, we were interested in the: philosophy evinced by Mr. Bell in the class of Interpreters of Contemporary Thought. As he was describing a movie in which '•'the Melting Pot" was featured, in which peoples of other countries with their graceful dances and charming ways: were sent through the mill and turned; out "Ameri-cans^- r-jazz-mad, efficient people like everyone else, I happened to think of the sir^arity 6l t^e Melting Pot, so-palled^ to the Normal itself^ Here -'a large number of individuals axe ^ with certain-; ideati'::a^v''met^pils,,; and turned jOut•;-l»ll-''i^t^^:-tea4ej-; ; markW V t e a ^ ^^ concealed as not, to interfere .with the "well-tried teaching methods"; CLIMB TOMORROW OFFERS HARDSHIPS Good Fishing, Beautiful Scenery to be Enjoyed by Students Making Trip; Stiff Climb Promised. LEAVE CAMPUS 7 A. M. Tomorrow morning, June 28th, the stage leaves the Normal campus headed for Shuksan, where the Twin Lakes Pass climb begins. Seven o'clock in the-morning' is rather early, but to individuals who have previously made the climb the necessity for the start is quite apparent. Approximately forty students are expected to make the climb. Stiff Climb A climb of one foot.is not difficult, but when you put some 3,000 of them in succession the result is extreme fatigue. Twin Lakes Pass is some 5,400 fete in elevation, 2,000 of which is made by stage, the rest being climbed in some seven miles of walking. . To the fisherman the climb is usually worth while, and to the lovers of the great outdoors and beautiful scenery, the climb can't be beaten. The two lakes nestle between two of which, the marvelous Canadian Cascades may be seen. There will be plenty of snow up in the pass, and mountain meadows with their lovely wild flowers will be encountered on the trip. The country is full of wild animal life: deer, bear, wild goats and other types may be seen. Descent Interesting Not only is the descent interesting, but it is also very comfortable to the tired hikers. After being up in the mountains all day, the hikers will be permitted to partake of the finer things of life at Glacier. Ice cream most certainly will be intensely interesting and other delicacies will be likewise appreciated. All in all, everybody must agree that the trip will be well worth while. ' ' Students Will Sail On Yacht Thetis Normal students, will have an opportunity to sail in Puget Sound on the yacht Thetis, when Dr. Carl Erh will take a party of students on a cruise among the Sucia Islands in the Gulf of Georgia. The outing is being arranged by Franklin Lock, for several years a student of the school. "The Sucia Islands are a beautiful group that are out of the regulard\ cruising routes," Franklin Lock declared, "and offer fine opportunities for exploring. Students who have been out on the .Thetis are very enthusiastic about sailing, and most of the trip will be made under canvas, although auxiliary power .is used. whenever the breeze drops down.'? The party will. leave the Pacific American dock at the end of the South Bellingham carline Sunday morning, shortly after nine o'clock. Students are requested, to their own lunches. , '—— -o-—"•'.' •..— Normalites Buy "Diamond Dick*r Considerable interest is evident in literature in this school, and makes itself noticeable in the attention of students in choice of reading matter. "Diamond Dick," "The Love Affairs of Emma," and similar touching captions to other 10-cent thrillers and heart soothers captivated the interest of many hikers when returning from the salmoh-bake. , I t is unkndwn to what extent the^se were purchased or whether the interest was cursory or not, but English department take notice. : gt; look up the grades of student teWhere and jet your; judgment ^be yourguide.^'^y^'^'v^;-'; -: i: lt;;:'" t'jf!;:: philosophical; but thuik nothing of lii MI"' '" "' House Mothers Hold ft Short Business Meeting i At Edehs^Dormitory The Normal Housemothers' Association held a short business meetr ing Thursday in the Clubroom at Edens Hall, with thirty-seven members present. An election of', officers was held, and Mrs. D. Cooper was elected President of the Association, and Mrs. Caroline Edwards was named to act as Secretary for the coming year. ^-Mrs. Mable Moore, retiring President, and Mrs. S. W. CoUett, retiring Secretary, expressed appreciation to the members for their cooperation during the past year. SCIENCE DEPT. TO PROBE HEREDITY Science Instructors to Experiment with Inherited Characteristics of Fruit Flies; Test Is Unusual. Experiments on the inheritance of characteristics in fruit flies are to be carried out in the laboratory of the- Science (department. This has never before been done in the Normal school. The flies are kept in bottles containing banana, at a temperature of 76°. The larvae are fed every 6 weeks. The crysalis are crossed before mature. Those with red eyes are placed in the feeding bottle with those having white eyes. The parents are removed in five days, after which the resulting crysalis are giv-an ether and then placed under the microscope to see how many have red eyes and how many have white. No new experiments, will be tried. To obtain the material for the experiments, Miss", Ruth Piatt- and Miss Ruth Shumway made a trip to the University of British Columbia. The U. has had the supply, which it received from Chicago, only since March. There was no trouble in crossing the line. The classes are making field trips which include peat bogs, natural dry dock, and the mountains. —^—;—o——~ CRAW ELECTED TO BOARD MEMBERSHIP Much interest was shown in the election as there were three other candidates seeking office; namely, William Kelley, Warren Boynton and John Rajala. The election of Evelyn Craw means that the women of the school now; have two representatives from their group, the other woman holding office being Mary MacDonald. James McCleary and Lyle Summers were-elected in last Friday'si assembly to act as student repre-j sentatives to the Board of Control for this quarter. They will fill; the bring positions l^ft vacant by Harold Rich and Art Graverock; who were granted a leave of absence. There were no other candidates for the offices. • •'•'• • - o-———— " FROSH AWARD SILVER SCHOLARSHIP TROPHY TO FUTURE FRESHMAN Class Hope to Establish Tradition to Encourage Entering Students Toward Better Efforts. YEARLY CHANGE OF CUP Next year, according to an an-' nouncement made this week, the Freshman student attaining the highest scholarship record for the year will receive the Scholarship Trophy cup,-which is to be presented by the Freshman bias of 1930, the graduating class of '31. This trophy will go as an award for individual scholarship, intended to encourage entering Freshmen to further intellectual effort. A silver trophy cup was decided upon by the Freshman executive board, instead of cash prizes, which was originally announced because of the permanency and traditional merit of the cup. The trophy will remain in the possession of the winner for one year, and will then be passed on to the winner of the award for the succeeding year. '.'The Freshmen hope to establish with the awarding of the cup a tradition for the school, and . an increased interest in scholastic success of the students," Pelagius Williams,' class advisor, declared. The cup bears the inscription: -Scholarship Trophy Presented by the Class of 1931 ... To a Student of Each .Incoming Freshman Class Who Attains the Highest Degree of Scholarship for the year. gt; lt;. The Freshman executive board for the year 1929-30 was: Joe Weth-erby, president; Mary .McDonald, vice president; Allene Armstrong, secretary-treasurer; Mr. Pelagium Williams, class advisor.

John Rajala Lyle Summers *gv . , T 1 Member) NOCTURNAL BULL FEST TKe other night this "bull-thrower" became involved in what turned out to be the sweetest little argument it has been our pleasure to indulge ja.in many months. It started at nine o'clock around one of the local .Well counters, and ended at one o'clock under the street lamp on the cocner of High and Oak. All in all, some ten Normal students and several townsmen smote their palms and expounded on the various sides of ifce question of whether American society has crystallized into definite caste lines, or not. It turned out to be a "natural" from the standpoint of a connoisseur of nocturnal bull fests. -*•-' Which all reminds us that, for some reason or another, the country is •rapidly becoming a land of shirt-sleeve philosophers. Assemble any group of business men on the street, and they will soon be waxing hot in debate on anything from the prohibition question to the changes taking place in our merchandising system. Gather any crowd of laboring people 'and you will find them reorganizing the government along communistic lines, or reforming the churches. Get pocketed in any get-together of ;htgh school youngsters, and you won't be able to leave until you have helped diem dissect the ailments of our democratic government. And if; you make the mistake of dropping into any local sandwich shop some evening where Normal students gather, you won't sleep until you have helped discover what has happened to Prosperity. Nor. will, you find the opposition unprepared for a rush of false testimony., If .you try to put over an economic argument by means of a bit of bluff, you will find them taking you down the line with Stewart Chase and Andre Siegfried, or some other modern who has written on American problems; They will not only quote the opinion of. these writers verbatim, btu will probably have memorized much of the statistical data avail- ..afole, and:.won't hesitate to spear you with it. ^ ' I f you want real entertainment, take up the great American pastime, and get in the..next debate you see starting, wherever you may find it. • But don't expect not to have to do a lot of reading afterward. T H E CAR-PARKING PROBLEM Againv it has been necessary to bring before the student body the prob- •lenr oflx^frVparking on the campus. More than average, parking precision is required because of the many cars that are being used on the campus i/tjbis summer, .• ...;.'. The grounds are large enough for more than one hundred machines if parked with a degree of care. There are white lines to assist in parking,, but these are too often overlooked; and cars are found parked in any ' ^ l t i o n that suits theJ gt;wner, with little or no consideration for anyone "*else. v\''''" '"'":-' ' " ' ' ' ''' Instead of making parking a grand sprawl, a sort of grab-bag to see '*wWch: car can get the best space and incidentally the most, lets consider a little, and park with the other fellow's point of view in mind. "\ V • '•".'• • " ' •/;•; : —c. D. $The Methodist Faun, by Anne Parrish. Published by Harpers and Brothers, New York; and London, 1929. f ^••/V-^r" ,* Following the trend of modern day, writers, Anne Parrish has kept her entire novel within the narrow range of the Methodist community of Pine Hills. "The ; Methodist Faun" has for a background the close relationship of a small town, a place where everybody is familiar with the most intimate affairs of everyone else; a place where the pettiness of envy, the sordid narrowness of outlook drive men of genius and imagination to distraction. \ In Clifford Hunter, Miss Parrish has deviated from her precedent of female principals, and created a most appealing and unusual hero. Clifford is a man of most delicate sensibilities — something altogether out of place in this atmosphere of smallness and avid desire for gossip and scandal due to lack of greater, higher occupation. Instead of the novel being a sort of analytical description of Clifford from the viewpoint of a surveyor, an outsider with all the facts, it is the minute transcription of himself from his own mind. Even is this carried out in regard to the other characters of the story, for they each one appear and are catalogued as they ,were in the mind of young Hunter. Granted Clifford Hunter is weak; but his very f utility/his thwarted desires plead for him. In reading of him gt; we are excited to pity; we feel he was a victim of an uhalterr able Fate who amused itself with the torturing of ;this squirming earthworm. It is another case of a misfit in society. Miss Parrish treats her other characters with the same skill that forced tine most skeptical to believe in Clifford, and one is able to recognize prototypes of one's own society. In Mrs. Johnson, one recognizes the lady-who-livesrup-the-street- a-ways who ' has an un-plumbed knowledge of everyone in town-and does not hesitate to use it regardless of the hate and misery she is causing. Martha is the awfully nice girl we all know who was raised in the church with such care that she is now in a state where she would accept the first __man who asked her to marry him. In all her characters, does Miss Parrish show the" same deep penetration and accurate knowledge of the actual persons. In appallingly sharp strokes she throws her little community on the screen of the brain, a community of narrow souls but one that typifies a layer of society. Unconsciously through Miss Parrish's workrwe find a criticism of this society that, taken more seriously, is an excellent example of the modern, desire to step forward beyond the humdrum conventionalities of existence, beyond littleness and narrow ideals, and unveil the infinite scope that lies behind the curtain. —C.

Many of us find it on the basketball court or on the football field, while others find it in their studies, although excellence is not always perfection... There is one field, in which we can all attain that infinite institution called perfection— on the tennis court.

An example of the above was the Church-Boynton match. Plenty hot! This isn't a column—dirt seems much better word. Sam Carver has the golf craze plenty. Who can blame him? Of all the names for basketball teams, the mtramural league has a downhill pull for $he honors. We pick Swamp Rabbits for the cake-toter this quarter. - As an offering we suggest Hen Hill Flapjacks in the big league class of puddle jumpers race. Why wouldn't a faculty golf tournament be a wow?

Church, Boynton, Prendergast, Rhodes and Bond seem to be the most dependable players, and it is claimed that one of the other of them will win first place. Warren Boynton, smashing and driving net star, closely pressed Hamilton Church in a three-set match last week. Boynton won the first set 6-4 and had Church 5-2 in games the second set before the latter could swing into his stride to win the second 7-5 and the third set 8-6. Les Rhodes, past Viking basketball letterman, showed up on the courts the other day and handed the spectators a surprise by his evident improvement in the game of tennis. According to Director S. E. Carver, some excellent tennis will be the order of the Summer quarter. The drawings for the ladder tournament are as follows: Church, Boynton, Lewis, Prendergast, Reff, Willard, Reeves, Duyff, Rhodes, Schaffer, Bond, Korsboen, Summers. Gemmi Paglieri In Italian Song Recital Gemma Paglieri, soprano, a favorite with the Normal School audience, was presented in a recital of Italiarf songs, in costume, in the regular assembly Tuesday morning, June 24. Miss Paglieri has appeared here a number of times before this and has always received a welcome, from the student body. Marjorie El-well accompanied her on the piano. Several of the numbers had been sung before and were repeated upon request. Among these were "Maria, Maria," by Di Capau; ever popular "Ciribiribin", a love-song, by Pesta-lozza. The girls of El Nido HaU haye or;r ganized a crack baseball team and would like to have some games with some of the other Organized houses. In fact, El Nido challenges each and every house to play. Any house interested should send a representative to Miss Weythman and arrange :a game. '..'•". .'• • , ";V' . ' ' • ' . • * • * •.. • * , - • /' Two daring young men have ven-turned into the advance Folk Dancing class and, according to all reports/ are.showing considerable skill in the terpsichorean art. Miss Weythman informs the women of the school that the class has been closed, in order to forestall any sudden interest in it. , Golf seems to be a Very popular sport for the more wideawake persons, as the classes are held at 8 o'clock on Tuesdays and Thursday, and 11 o!clock on Wednesdays and Thursdays. All students who would like to play golf at the Lakeway Course may get student tickets from either Miss Weythman or Mr. Carver, which will make a big reduction in the greens fees. Quite a number of girls have enrolled in the instruction classes in tennis.^They have been divided into groups: those who have never played the game before, and those who are learning new strokes and perfecting them. Handball and archery seem to be of interest in the group of summer sports from the number of girls turning out for them. Any one who would like to start some inter-house competition in any of these activities may see Miss Weythman and organize a playing schedule. « * * At the splash hour, which is held Thursday evening from seven to nine o'clock, at the Y. W. C. A., there will be a life guard to help in instructing those who are working for their life-saving badges. There will also be opportunity for instruction in life-saving in Miss Horton's advanced swimming classes held Monday and Wednesdays at three o'clock.

The finalresults totaled up with a 25 to 18 score, ,p. The. contest proved to be a thriller from start to finish from the spectator's viewpoint with the outcome not settled in anyone's mind until just before the final gong. Both teams -played good lively ball and carried the fast pace to the finish; Rough playing featured in places but no serious; casualties were recorded.' About the worst was" a little shedding of red corpuscles by Bud Johnson, who came too close to an elbow under the basket- As this was the first game for either team in the summer schedule both sides made frequent substitutions and shifts in the lineup as a weakness would show up J' Featuring the play of the winners was the guarding of Karl W^eb-er. His playing proved to be the breaking up of many plans', under the basket, and around mid-floor. At forward for the marshy animals, Perry showed plenty of speed and also walked away with high point honors by chalking up nine markers. His teammate, Lundberg, at the tip-off position, closely followed with seven points to his credit. H. McCleery of the Mac's Pets aggregation lead his team with a total of seven points. Summaries of the game: Swamp Rabbits, Perry and E. Bond, forwards; Lundberg, center; Weber and Geri, guards. Mac's Pets: Nyberg and McCleery; forwards; Rhodes, center; Hunni-cutt and Standen, guards. Substitutions: Swamp Rabbits, Nostrant and Reeves. Mac's Pets: Johnson and Standen. Sam Carver, referee.

In handball, ten men are vieing for top honors with the competition plenty keen. The ladder, .as it stands at present is, Reeves,. Rad-cliffe, Gunn, Brown, Hunnicutt, Ax-elson, Rule, Bright^ Carver,, and Omeg. The lately revived sport of pitching horseshoes also promises some very interesting matches. The ladder for this sport finds Korsborn sitting on top, trailed by Axelson, Prendergast, Bright, Johnson, Ham-mett, Brown;' and Pederson. The horseshoe games are played in one corner of Waldo tfield while the handball fracas has for a setting the back of the grandstand. CO-OP. TO HANDLE Among the many policies adopted by the Co-op to further the. inters ests of the students m is that made known recently when Mr. Sam Ford) manager of the student's book store, obtained the agency for Remington Portable typewriters, and through an arrangement with the typewriter company has made it possible for every teacher to obtain one of these handy little machines. "Why continue to write in slow, tedious long-hand," Mr. Ford asks, •"When with a Remington Portable you can turn out a beautifuly clear and legible printed page with far less time and effort? 7 "Is is the most'compact of all -portables.

They saw butter in the churns awaiting the final test, each churn holding twelve hundred pounds of butter. Then, in the ice cream department, each student received a large Jumbo bar. The journey then continued to the powdered milk, section, where this powder is made from skimmed milk. Mr. Eddy explained how a current of- hot air is sprayed hi the milk which evaporates the moisture. . He stated that out of one hundred pounds of skimmed milk there is only 9% powder.

Last Monday, the 23rd, the class was taken out to. the Rocks, at South Bellingham, in cars furnished By parents, and there they began collecting material for the aquarium. Their collection for the day was very varied and their first specimens have been put down in formaldehyde and soon will be laid out to dry. They will be kept in' the room in this state. The interest in gt; a salt water aquarium has been very keen. This summer, under the guidance of Miss Pearl Merriman, the fourth grade will take trips to industrial points of interest. The first of these trips was taken a week ago Thursday, June 19, to the Bloedel-Donovan box factory. This morning in the training school assembly, the children read stories, showed pictures, told' their experiences for the benefit of the other classes. While at the "factory they were especially overjoyed with the hum of the planers and handsaws. The complete procedure was reviewed from the log to loading the nailed- up finish box on the scow. • _ — . — o — — — • STUDENTS MAY FLY Students here have the opportunity of reduced airplane fares in short eight and ten minute trips oyer the city, the manager of the Graham air port announced last week.

Hall in Opening Address (By Calvin Nichols) Discussion of vital international problems with, a view to understanding of those problems which will result in a will for World Peace is the -work of the Institute of International Relations now in session on the campus of the University of Washington. The institute opened on Sunday evening, July 22nd in the University Temple, Avith preliminary services led by Dr. J. E. Crowther, pastor of the University Temple, and invocation pronounced by Rt. Rev. S. Arthur Huston, bishop of the Episcopal church, followed by the Address of Welcome by Dr. M. Lyle Spencer, President of the University of Washington. Dr. Rufus B. von KleinSmid, chancellor of the Institute, responded to the address of welcome. The main speakers of the program were Dr. Arnold Bennett Hall on "Social Control and World Peace" and Rt. Rev. Titus Lowe on "Religion and Peace". Representatives of Bellingham Normal in attendance at the Institute are President C. H. Fisher, Mr. Arnt-zen, Miss Cummins, Miss Moffatt, Ed Benedict, Guy Springsteel, and Calvin Nichols. Miss Crawford is also attending the institute. Many former students have bee nseen in attendance at various sessions. The real work of th Institute began Monday, July 23rd, with the lecture in Philosophy Hall by Hon. Howard Huston on the League of Nations. This lecture was followed by round table discussions in* Eagle-son Hall and Wesley House. The discussions are divided into two "groups the first of which includes the topics: China, Race Problems, American Foreign Policy and Administration, Latin American Affairs, Disarmament and the National Defense, and ^International Finance.

Biological Station Is Sundquist's Subject in Next Week's Assembly An illustrated lecture on the Puget Sound Biological Station at Friday Harbor will be given in assembly Friday, August 3, by Miss Leona Sundquist. Miss Sundquist is a member of the present Normal faculty and is well prepared to speak on the subject, having taught botany at the school for several years. The station is conducted jointly by the University of Washington and the Normal. Dr. T. C. Frye, director of the station, gave a similar lecture illustrated with slides, last quarter. The many snaps of students at work (and play) gave the assembly an insight into the work done at Friday Harbor that could not be read in the pamphlet. Miss Sundquist's informal talk will be much on the same line with additional scenes from this summer's session. Large Crfoup Of Normalites Will Make Annual Hannegan Outing Party of About Fifty Students and Faculty Members Is Expected to Take Week-end Trip to Seldom Visited Beauty Spot in Mount Baker Region. . ARE BEFORE BOARD Pins for Debaters will be Difficult to Earn, Women's Sweaters Easier, if Plans are Accepted. Awards to the members of the varsity debate squad will be changed and the requirements for such awards will be made higher than they now are, and the requirements for girl's athletic sweaters will be reduced so that these sweaters will be somewhat easier to earn, if the plans now under consideration by the Board of Control are put into effect. No definite action has been taken on the matter because of the lack of a quorum at the last meeting of the Board, which took place Wednesday. At that time the subject of awards first came up as the beginning of a movement to revise the Blue Book. Those members of the Board absent were: Stanley Thompson, who is not in school; Mr. E. J. Arntzen, faculty advisor, attending the International Relations conference in Seattle: Guy Springsteel, also attending the conference, and E. A. Bond, out of town on business. Plans have been completed for the annual Board of Control picnic which is slated to take place Wednesday^ August 1. The program calls for a supper at Summerland dance hall, Lake Samish, dancing-in the evening, and breakfast the next morning. Approximately thirty members of the Board, past and present, are expected to be present. o Teaching Contracts Are Recorded During Week by Appointment Bureau Look Out Folks, Scandal Mongers Out With Choice Morsels for All LEADS IN PLAY Things happen every day on and around this campus, involving the most prominent students of this school—things that are interesting to know about. But it takes an' enterprising reporter to get interviews with these exclusive notables. Once in a blue moon it is done, and here's the lowdown on some events Mtherto partly or wholly unre-vealed: (Some of these items were not gained from interviews but from gossip.) Virginia Bever broke her foot; she broke her leg; she broke her neck: all that, according to rumor. She really did hurt her foot, however. Elden .Bond has received some new compliments on his little column that runs on the sport page. He has had them printed this week. See page 3. Theo Norby looked through all the encyclopedias in the nice new library last week to learn about asbestos, its uses and costs. Jean Marquis Celebrates Jean Marquis had a birthday; she brought her birthday cake to the Pliilo picnic and blew out all the candles but one (whatever that means), and all the Philos wish her birthdays came more often. Jeannette Mackie lost the set out of her ring—that was the loud crash that was heard in assembly today. Vernon Vine has taken to studying for the tests that were given last week. He says he's about ready ,-to take them now. He also' says it is fashionable to go to church. Milton Field plans to buy a Forjd; a room-for-two Ford, with tires and axles- and fenders all complete, at one of the best bargains offered on the Pacific /coast; If he can beat Miss: Skalley's used; car bargain; he should gt;vin tlie J. V. sweater, '• V : Hamilton-Church ; wants W Me ^bhesome^ 5wahts: -to :beyblue^opVpo-^r-and so he is. Axelia Johnson is in favor of social ethics. Eldred Bechtel is taking reducing exercises to be in trim for football in October and for geography II tests in August. Doris Brown would support Hoover in the coming election if he would grow a mustache, but without one he doesn't look so hot. BANNER "ALL WET" Ernest Banner tipped his sailboat oyer and got his new hat all wet, and in fact, the whole situation was all wet. Dean Edmiindson didn't go to Mt. Baker because he hates cold cream on his face and smoked lens glasses are not becoming to him and he had a lot of other fish to fry. June Wetherell has graduated to the position of school flapper. . She is doing herself proud, in histrionic ways, as a leading character in the impending Shakespeare play. See play. Howard Beighle ate lots and lots of lunch on the Mount Baker trip and wished for more. See bulletin boards. Roy Ar.nett has been referred to as the "library pest," but nothing further was to be had on that subject. Bob Fisher still edits the. Viking but he'd rather not hear any more about it. Naomi Chase is * Interested in things in and around Alaska, but not particularly in the eskimos. Clifford Duncan is arranging a true-false test for tennis students. Carrie Ann Tucker has learned lines, of Shakespeare that, put end to. end-would reach from Marietta to a.half mile beyond Edison. Glenn .

Hannegan Pass, in the Mount Baker district, ten miles east of Shuk-san, will be the goal of what is expected to be a large party of experienced hikers when the Normal conducts its annual trip to the Pass Friday, Saturday and Sunday, August 3, 4 and 5. The trip is scheduled to start from the campus Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock. At that time busses will leave for Shuksan, fourteen miles beyond Glacier, carrying a party estimated at in the neighborhood of fifty and including several * faculty members, as. well as the usual quota of students. E. A. Bond, mathematics instructor, will have general supervision over the party; The Hannegan Pass country is noted for its rare beauty and state of preservation from the hand of man. Unlike other better parts of the Mount Baker country, which have been partly spoiled for the genuine nature lover by commercialism, the vicinity of the Pass is utterly untouched and is onl visited by a few parties of any size during the year. Wild game, abounds there and fishing is excellent. With such a place as a destination the Normal's annual trip to Hannegan never fails to attract a large number of students and has won a reputation as the best of the year's week-end outings, the Mount Baker climb not excepted. Camp at Shuksan The stage journey to Shuksan will be made in something less than two hours, allowing the party to have supper at their destination and to prepare for the night's rest at their camp on Swamp Creek, three- ---------- Northwest Viking - 1928 July 27 - Page 2 ---------- Published weekly by Students* Association of State Normal School, Bellingham, Wash.

Do we, as students of a teacher training institution and a teacher sense the importance of international relations? Delegates to the Institute are impressed with the interest manifested by students on the campus in open sessions. After having seen the actions of our students in assemblies and heard so much of criticism, we are especially impressed with the undivided attention rendered speakers here by both delegates and students as well as the respect and courtesy given them through hearty applause. Those who arrived early and attended church services in the mag-nicent new University Temple noted with great interest the large number of students .in attendance. This gives us something to think about. gt;-^C. J. N. L I B R A R Y P R I V I L E G E S FOR FACULTY Elsewhere in this issue of the VlKING is printed a student opinion mentioning the flagrant violation of library rules by faculty members, who already are allowed special privileges. The. author states that students are often hampered in their studying when materials which they need are illegally kept out of the library by faculty, members who seem to disregard regulations. ; The viewpoint expressed by this\ member of our student body is not his alone, we believe, and there is 'every evidence that his charges are true. Faculty members are evidently careless. And, when they mis-bjehave, and in doing so, hamper student work, what can be done? "Carelessness arid thoughtlessness' is the only answer to the question of why faculty members do as they dc in this respect, and it seem to us that the when and how to remedy the present faculty library evil lies with the faculty members themselves. If they stop and think of the effects of their thoughtlessness, we have no doubt that conditions will not be long in changing. " T H E M E R C H A N T O F V E N I C E" A leading feature of the summer quarter at Bellingham Normal for many years has been the production of some Shakespearean play by the Drama Club. Every quarter during the school year it has been the custom for the Drama Club to present some play, and almost without exception, these plays have been successful. But the summer quarter's Shakespearean productions have been most outstanding because of the greater talent available, the greater effort put forth by the cast, and the type of drama being played. Since 1921, with the exception of last year, there has been a Shakespearean drama presented by the club. " A Midsummer Night's Dream", "As You Like It", "Romeo and Juliet", and "The Merchant of Venice" all have been successful, but "The Merchant of Venice" last given in 1922, is probably the best remembered of these. With Mr. Hoppe again in the role of Shylock, which he played before, and with memories of his remarkable impersonation of Shakespeare's Jew still remaining the coming presentation of "The Merchant of Venice" promises to be an outstanding one. A strong supporting cast, headed by Carrianna Tucker as Portia, and Ralph Johnson an Antonio, should help to make the 1 9 2 8 Shakespearean play especially successful. And if members of the student body turn out on Wednesday and Thursday, August 8 and 9, to support a school enterprise as they by all odds should, nothing can prevent an exceptionally worthwhile performance from every standpoint. c • Draw thee Jason, and smite right well the gentleman who next doth yell: "Is it hot enough for you?" The Saint Peters of. our campus are still finding it necessary to "caution" some of us to keep to the sidewalks. Are we so slow to learn? o — We seem to be gradually improving our conduct in assemblies. Perhaps before the end of the quarter our assembly audiences will be really what they should be. I N T E R N A T I O N A L R E L A T I O N S MEET (Continued From Page One) International Law and Organization, International Commerce, International Education,' Public Opinion and International Relations. General conferences are. held each aftrnoon in the University Temple for members'and delegates only. Evening sessions which are open to the public are held also in the Temple. Institute luncheon and dinners are held daily in the dining room of the Wilsonian Hotel. . . Dr. Arnold Bennett Hall said in the opening address, "War is futile, barbarous, and blazes national ha-, treds and breaks down respect for law. People are beginning to realize the futility of war as a means for furthering 'trade." "The social scientist has great possibilities in helping to put an. end -to war," he declared. /-.•'•.. , '-•;:, "Religion has an enormous lot to do. with the creation of a will •to :Peace: •declared Bishop; Lowe, gt;invRe-ligipn and Peace,: Sunday^ Evening; •'It is ii]) to the churches of the world to create a will where righteousness shall be the dominant motive. There are certain things which need to be uprooted. Some of them are: spurious nationalism, hatred, and the. too ambitious commercialism. They should be replaced with respect, a square deal for every nation and a sense of the sanctity of life. • "War is non-intelligent, stupid and is sin. War is sin against the brotherhood of man; against Jesus, and against the holiness of God. If the Church of Jesus Christ is not creating a passion for Peace it is not ii]) to standard in the yar of : 1028," said the Bishop. Dr. Stephen B. L. Penrose, in an address on Ethics and Internationalism said: "Three obstacles in' our United States leadership in the brotherhood of men are, the public school system", the newspapers and bad manners." . Education in Mexico was explained by lion. Jose Vosconselos in a lecture in Meany Hall this morning. He said "The only institution in Mexico whicK /lias; fuiids or power to 'car-: ry out. a social task is the federal government." Cheerio, persons! Again', the Leaky Pen is at it.

The game was in doubt until the last of the sixth when Norby doubled and came across with the deciding run • when Johnson followed with a single. ^Jewell pitched good ball for the winners getting eight strikeouts to his credit. Inability to hit the ball contributed largely to the defeat of Okey's men. Thomas turned in a nice game at shortstop, handling everything that came his way. B OTTLED y BOND , „ — „ „ : — B „ _ i .

The Busters took an early lead when Isaacson, a newcomer in the ranks of summer baseball here, hit safely and scored on Franz's three-base hit to leftfield. The next inning saw both pitchers in trouble but they pulled out without any damage done. In the first of the third, trouble started when S t e w a rt muffed a hot grounder off Schneider's bat, Ruthmff's long fly to left field was misjudged and both scored on Captain Bieghle's single. The Oxen broke into the scoring when Okerlund lined out a three-bagger, and counted when Fisher hit to second base. The big bats were brought out. again in the Oxen's half of the fourth and before Firpo was again resting on the bench six hits had been tallied against him and six runs scored, giving the Oxen a four-run lead. Gallanger, pitching his first game, weakened in the next inning and gave Schneider a walk, contented Bond, the home run king, with a two base hit, then allowed both to score on Ruthruff's single. Bieghle singled and came home when Fretheim connected for his first hit of the season. With the score tied at seven-all Okerlund relieved Gallanger in the box and gave Isaacson a pass to first base. Franz lined out his second three-base hit of the day, scoring Isaacson. Bond, Bieghle and Fretheim Avere retired in order. Ruthruff, the wild bull, was back into form in the last half and scared the front end of the Oxen lineup into submission without anv trouble.

WALTER LEADS IN WOMEN'S ARCHERY The places on the ladder in the Horseshoe Tournament are being changed • because of the many matches that have been played. Elsie Holland challenged Bonnie Pickering and was defeated by a score of 25-15. With victory Pickering retains the coveted first place. Gladys Burton challenged Grace Hess and defeated her by a score of 25-24, •25-13. This victory gave Burton courage and she challenged Vinnie Moyer and defeated her by the tunc of 2G-7' and 25-3, giving Burton the fourth place on the ladder. Grace Hess determined to. gain back the place she lost in the match Avith Gladys Burton, so challenged' Carolyn Barron and defeated her by 25- 11, 25-20. This winning puts Hess one point below her last Avcek's standing.

Busters by a one-point margin. T* T* *X* V LITERATURE IS FROZEN SPEECH Oh! Mr. Good News, be good! We wonder if some of the eminent professors of this school agree that literature is cold, disdainful and frozen? We also wonder if the Witches' speeches in Act l, Scene 1, of Macbeth should be cremated, burned to prove the point. "When shall we three meet again in thunder, lightning or in rain. When the hurlyburly's done, When the battle's lost and won." Well tra-la-la, de, de, dum. So long folks. The Archery turnout on Monday, July 23, Avas very small because of the heat, but those AVIIO were out made exceptionally good scores. Pern Walter made a 32, with a total of 105, thus attaining first place after the withdrawal of Ada Wilson, Avho won the tournament for the first six weeks. Ethel Heath is IIOAV second with a score of oo, having made a 20 in this turnout. Mildred White was third with a 45, Helen Hellend made a 30, making a 42 total. Marjorie.

Fisher, Thai, and Broadbent have all advanced to the third round, Fisher by virtue of tAvo hard-fought Avins, Thai by a bye and one victory, and Broadbent by a bye and a default. Hannah, city champ in 1024, was seeded Avith the other three Vikings', but has not played any matches to date. Dope has it that either Fisher or Thai Avill Avalk away with the title, but as they Avilf probably meet in the semi-finals, It is impossible for them to rank one-two in city standings. Fisher has a win over Jimmy Eork, number one man at Whatcom High, to his credit, and is playing consistent tennis, so at present has partially proved his mettle.'

WASHINGTON EDENS HALL DANCE DATE IS CHANGED Informal Will Be Given Aug. 11, Because of Hannegan Pass Trip. Because of the hike to Hannegan Pass which has been scheduled for August 4, the date for the Edens Hall informal was changed to August 11 at a house meeting held Tuesday evening in the third floor lobby. The informal had been scheduled for AugSfet 4 but as many of the girls wish to take the hike and also attend the dance it was found necessary to change the date. ! The diningroom was chosen by the girls as a more suitable place to hold a summer dance than the draw-ingroom, in which the majority of hall dances have been held in the past. CLUB HOLDS MEETING AT HOLLAND'S HOME MISS LUCH'S FATHER DIES Miss Mary Luch was called to her home in Vancouver, Washington,, by the death of her father on Tuesday evening. -Q DORM PICNIC^ PLANNED Edens Hall girls voted to have another all-dorm picnic this six weeks. All plans concerning date, place and entertainment were left to the discretion of the social chairman, Miss Helen Sheckels.' The Oregon Club held a business and social meeting at the-home of the vice president Elsie Holland on Tuesday evening this week. Twenty-three people were present. A stunt: program" was a lively feature of the evening. Paul Rairdon and Berthaj Weber were presented in a gay Spanish tango; Leonard Kepp-ler led a "debate"; a song, "Three Blind Mice," was beautifully rendered by Pat Murphy, Orlena Fitcha and Dan Beighle. Bennett Howard held communion with the spirits and answered questions written by the group. He consistently advised against romantic entanglements and advocated programs of heavy work, generally. After a business meeting refreshments were served. Mr. Bond, the club sponsor, helped make plans for a salmon bake at the rocks for Wednesday, August 9.

Mrs. Losey , fell from the car before, she could regain her balance, breaking her wrist and receiving .numerous scratches about the knees. She was saved from further injuries by the fact that the car was going at 10 miles per hour and was easily stopped.

By this time new students have become well adjusted to the work and the life of Ihe school and have hecome well identified with Ihe traditions and ideals of the school. Old students find a real challenge in making Homecoming Day equal if not surpass that of former years. The Alumni are glad to return to the school on this day to show their interest, loyalty, and devotion to the school. The Alumni will be anxious to greet students whom they knew when they were students. H01:necoming provides an opportunity for Alumni to renew acquaintance and friendship with students who were contemporary with themselve5' The new feature of the Homecoming is an opportunity that we are giving Alumni to call on members of the faculty who will be in their offic.. on Saturday morning from 9 10 '2 o'clock- Some of Ihe Alumni will want to discuss problems in teaching with members of the faculty and some will simply want to m~ke social calls on their former instructors. This new feature of 9ur program has met with hearty approval from Alumni. Above all. I am anxious that as an institution. Homecoming will lead us to a finer appreciation of the· ideals and purposes of our school and the possibilities of service that lie ahead of us in the near future. From past experience J am sure that the inspira~ tion that will come from Ihis day will' be real and lasting to all who participate in the activities of the day. To those who are working hard on the program that makes this day possible in the life of the school we gladly acknowledge our sincere appreciation. C. H: FISHER, President . PRESIDEN'T' C.- 1-1.

His lecture is to be illustrated with suitable pic-tures. •••.'• We recall the story of how on May 9, 1926, an American expedition reached the North Pole for the second time. This time the goal that had'for hundreds of years lured men to their death, arid which had "once been reached by Admiral Peary, after a lifetime of struggle, was attained from the air. Lieut. Commander Richard E. Byrd looked down, on the North Pole from his powerful Fokker aeroplane, knowing that he, an American, heading an All-Ameri-can Expedition, was the first man to fly to the top of the world. The news of "his achievement am zed people because of the fine courage, the great skill shown and the triumph for American resource and: organization. Story Is Retold. The story of the flight, Commander Byrd now tells. The news dispatches have given but an inkling of what that flight was. They were more than fifteen hours in the air: fifteen hours of mere flying. This flight was the result of life-long training; a great and exact preparation ; an adventure of infinite courage; intense resourcefulness in navigation in a part of the world where navigation goes by no set rules, and where the compass, usually regarded as trustworthy can as easily point south or west as north. Byrd Has Thrilling Pictures. No expedition has ever * brought back such thrilling pictures as those of the Byrd Expedition. The Pathe Company is responsible for this magnificent record which is a masterpiece of motion picture photography. Even on the flight, when there was no professional photographer, Commander Byrd made enough pictures to complete the story. _ 0: TWO VACANCIES REMAIN There are two remaining vacancies in the Scribes Club. Applicants may see personally the President, between 12:30 and 1:00 p. m. any day. The following faculty_' members have been elected by the Scribes Club to act as judges in the literary contest- of the club: Herbert Fowler, chairman, Miss Belle Sperry, and Miss Olive Edens.

The action is laid in the bar of a strange ship which plies'between the ports of Life and the Beyond, with no port or starboard lights, no captain or ship's company, nothing but the dread booming of Drake's Brum, at melancholy intervals.

Kanall, chief engineer at the Normal school, is recovering rapidly from very painful burns about the! D e a tV .Vet retainin head and face, as a result of an explosion in the boiler room at the Normal, about two weeks ago. In attempting to open up a clogged sewer pipe, the contents-7 of a can of lye was emptied down the pipe, causing the explosion, which injured Mr. Tvanall. Pieces of. the material flew into his face, and about his shoulders, but, although the burns were painful, Mr. Kanall-paid little attention to them until several days later, when infection set in. It was feared for a time^tliat Mr. KanalPs eyesight would be injured, but Dr. Kirkpatrick, 'who is attend-in him, believes that no serious consequences will follow the accident.

They are Ann .and Henry, inseparable youiig lovers, who are dubbed '"half-ways" because they committed suicide; Mr. Prior, a moody young diysomaniac, who is the first one to suspect that -lit* and his companions are dead; Mrs. Cliveden-Banks, a matron whose first concern is social caste; lie v. William Duke, a young clergymen" who believes in being as human as a stock broker about his job; Mrs. Midet, a worn but miem-bittered charwoman who. is later revealed'as the mother of Prior; and Mr.'Lingley, of Lingley, Ltd., a self-made^ millionaire.

P L A N T W O CONTESTS Preliminary Contest to be Open to AH Students. Two Persons to be Chosen for Final Contest. •-."-,'• By Gladys'Burton " In order that more students may be led to see and appreciate the value of clear, interesting speech, the Speech department, working with the Student Association, is. inaugurating a new school activity, the Extempore Speech Contest. Purpose to Arouse,Interest. The purpose of this contest-is to arouse a more general interest in talking well before a group, yand it is hoped that many otherwise shy and diffident, students wjll derive benefit from the. preliminaries and., perhaps turn out to be winners in the elimination contest. Surely such a worth-while activity as this extempore contest deserves the support of the entire students body as well as that of the faculty^ It should be invested with the power of a school tradition, a tradition which will have as its aim the attainment of a higher speech level, not only in the public, but also the private speech of the individual. \ The general plan of the contest is as follows: "'"':'."''. " 1. Preliminary contest. Near the middle'of each quarter a preliminary contest will be held which is open to all students. (a) A list of subjects will be given out at eight o'clock the day of the contest. The student may choose his own subject from the list. (b) At seven that evening each student will give a five-minute talk before a committee of judges.

Try to find a tougher "job" than teaching: (While, again, on the other hand try to find.one that is more interesting)^ Whatever you do, or whatever you accomplish cannot be measured. You never know where you stand. It is the confidence that you have in yourself that carries you along. When everything seems to be going along nicely something pops up and there you are. Grief is plentiful and ever present. It has come to the place where schools are expected to tajce the child, rear him, cultivate him, and do everything but feed him. Parents are in many instances anxious to shift the burden of responsibility on to the teacher. The schools are always to do their share but there is no other institution in existence at present that can take the place of the home. After all, teaching is not easy. If you agree with this, wait until next week and get the optimistic viewpoint of teaching school. A LITTLE ADVICE (The following quotation is from Robert Louis Stevenson): "The true business of the literary artist is to plait or weave his meaning, involving it around itself; so that each sentence, by successive phrases, shall first come into a kind of knot, and then, after a moment of suspended meaning, solve and clear itself. In every properly constructed sentence there should be observed this knot or hitch; so that (however delicately) we are led to foresee, to expect, and then to welcome the successive phrases. .Each phrase is to be comely in itself; for nothing more often disappoints than a sentence solemnly and sonorously prepared, and hastily and weakly finished. Nor should the balance be striking and exact, for the one rule is to be indefinitely various; to interest, to:disappoint, to surprise, and still to gratify; to-be ever changing, as it were, the stitch, and yet still to give the effect of an ingenious neatness.** ; Let us take this bit of advice when writing for the literary contest sponsored by the Scribes Club. iiisi^iliiiii ;;; ^ IS THATSO? "• "One idea of; having ^intermission between classes; is to gt; give theynrina a change of sets between subjects^ said Dr. Miller': in- iris psjch^togy:class Another just as w^ll t r ^ and^mjK»r-tant reason fdi? ^ intermission is to give HER la chance; to: see HEM along the cbrridors. ? :V; f; _ Too much praise cannot be given __ to the instigators of the Freshman Winter Queen Carnival dance. The decorations were harmoniously arranged. There was enough variation from the ordinary to make it pleasant and devoid of monotony. Certainly the coronation ceremony could not have • been improved upon. The feature numbers were clever-conceptions and the entire dance Was organized with systematic precision. 'J Last "but not least, the immaculate "punch-servers" deserve considerable comment The assortment of entertainments that is being presented to the Normal students is nothing short of remarkable. Every student in school should attend as many of these programs as possible, because they have been selected by people who know what is best in music and literature-. Before you can make as good selections of lectures, musical concerts, and dramas, you need a few more" years of study, and hosts of experiences along those lines. The literary market is at present overcrowded with poetry and short stories, books of travel and historical dissertations. ^ There is, however, a decided lack of contemporary novels of the. first class. Suppose some of you think this proposition over. You may t}e able to help out. Nobody knows. Probably no one will ever know, either. On the recent basketball trip. Art Isaacson made a record that will stand for a long time. In three encounters. Art allowed his man to get only one basket. In the Cheney and Spokane' College tilts the men x»vered by the flashy Viking guard did not once get an opportunity to shoot. Hats off to Art. He is our hero. This timeT ! ;J:^TJ Players have the reputation of being the best ^r^pertbire company west o f the Rocky Mountains The types of plays ifecy: pretent are wr^some, modern^ and enjoyable. They afford a • tp*od; evem^g's entertainment. Get your tickets early and have a treat The rjeorJe who iwssed Ae Wen^^ lory have antrther guess comu^ THE CHALLENGE OF THE STATE There V a n unsounded challenge'of the State of Washington to the men and women annually turned out by the state institutions of learning as their graduates." The Bellngham State Normal School should heed this challenge and bear a^, part toward answering it. When /the Bellingham Normal turns out and sends her graduates into the field for which they have been particular ly trained, they will_ naturally be looked up to as the human artists into whose hands is entrusted with due trust and merited confidence the responsibility and the obligation to mould out of the plastic human clay the Columbuses, Edisons, Washing-tons, and other geniuses of history, But this i s not all that the teachers will find as they enter the field of their profession. In the commun i ty where they stay, be i t large or small, the people expect them to"-be ther leaers in their local civic enter prises, as well as in their national problems. Here, therefore, is sensed the challenge. The State expects the teachers, not only to exercise their influence within the four corners of the class rooms, but to invade the larger circle of society, and help meet and solve its problems, and if circumstances so dictate, take up the reins of leadership and rally to the need of the State. Before attempting t o bring up the future citizens, and leaders of tomorrow, the teachers must themselves show that they are worthy citizens and reliable leaders. In the light of these. anticipated circumstances, where, we may ask, does the Normal School attempt to equip i t s students With the necessary, preparations before they are launched into the wide field of service and leadership? How, we might want-to know, do the students endeavor to train themselves in order to be ready to answer that challenge? * * •* * The challenge of the tSate looms before the students and is ever-appearing to the discerning eye. The students cannot escape it. And during these Normal days the answer must be framed. The would-be teachers should know, or learn to, know, here and now', the duties and responsibilities of, the good citizen that they are supposed to be, the social leadership that would eventually revolve about them, tlie value of preparedness, the intricate functions of their government, and thus be ready in the,critical hour of need to answer satisfactorily, the challenge of the State. • . » ' * * BOARD OF CONTROL AWARDS Just the other day, the Board of Control distributed awards to the girls who participated in athletics during the fall quarter... This is a proper way of rewarding those girls who upheld athletic spirit in school. Everybody who does something contributing to the ideals of the school should be commended and rewarded. Another thing, however, that the Board of Control should appreciate and give awards for, i s that of leadership or social activities of a student or a group of students. There are some students in school whose leadership or activities contribute much to the social standard of the school. These- students should also be given awards... The Board of Control can establish what might be called "awards. for;. school., leader ship." Tin's will amply reward those who deserve commendation for their spirited activities which redound to the welfare of the student body and the giory of the school. These awards may be given quarterly, ..„ "Those' who dance must'.pay the fiddler." This is an old and proven adage.

Speakng of checking, Art Isaacson aiire put it over the forwards he played against in the three games; he held his three men, in. all three struggles to but three points, being an average of a point a. game. Earl Keplinger came to the front to find the hole'in the hoop while on the trip. Perhaps a few more trips for the little fellow will find him swishing more baskets on the local pine courts. Here's hopes that he will be able to, show the home folks this coming week. i Estill has surely come to the front in basketball circles. He started as a poor Javee, and then took a step up to Class A and from there to the Vafsityr He made the last step just in time to make the trip with the Vikings last week. It is said that Bolivar goes to bed thinking basketball. He ponders, as to how.he is going to' hold "a man to no points and at the same, time connect for some goals himself. T H E REFEREE \. Razz him if he does not see a play as you do. . 2.1 f he calls a foul on you, and you know that you committed it, but you simply do not want to give in to anyone above you, turn around and tell him, "I'll get you after the game." Don't be a .bit surprised if he kicks you out. 3. When the referee has his back toward you, look around and see if there is not a man that you can trip, or play dirt on. The referee won't see it, so what is the difference? 4. All the author asks is that you do not take advantage of the referee. He has tried it himself, and now says, "Never again." This is no Editorial Column, but the author does plead with you not to treat the poor referees discourteously or in time there will not be any. After engaging in three hard basketball games, with Ellensburg, Cheney and Spokane College—the Vikings returned from their first and longest road trip of the year last Sunday, having won two contests and lost one The Nornialites gained a 33-30 victory over Elensburg Normal in their first contest, dropped a 36-33 encounter to Cheney, then came back and smothered Spokane College 52- 10 in the third mix,. Ellensburg Game Exciting. The surprise of the trip was the unexpected opposition shown by the usually_not-so-wild Wildcats, at Ellensburg. The Vikings got off to an early lead, piling up 12 points before one was scored against them. They continued on their rampage, leading 23-14 at the half. Then came the complete reversal—the Wildcats started chalking up points, and completely outclassed the Vikings. In the first nineteen minutes of the second half, they- rang • up fifteen points to Bellingbam's four, and the score read 29-27 in their favor... Then the Vikings" again reversed, tied the score, and won out in the,, second extra time period by three points. Against Cheney, Normal showed unexpected strength* outplaying the Sav ages in all but the first and last minutes. The Vikings , gained an eight-point lead at the half, and held it until there were, four minutes to play. Then two Cheney field goals cut it in half, and five foul shots— all converted-^in the last three min-„ utes, shoved the Vikings under.- Spokane College Easy. » Regaining their form, Coach Carver's boys snowed under Spokane College in the last game, on Friday, and won 52-10, not allowing a point in the second half; . On the whole' trip, Normal 'scored 118 points to their opponents' 76. Keppy wjis high point 'man, with thirty-five; Odell made thirty-four; and Jensen, thirty-four.

Students Solve Problem-Claim M. of MEN OF THE FACULTY GIVEN BRIDGE PARTY The men of thex faculty and their wives were entertained at a party given .by Mrs. Phillippi, Mrs. Miller, lt;3nd Mrs. Rice: at the home of Mr. ajad Mrs. Phillippi last Friday evening.. 1 •-•••• - • '=••• [Bridge was the entertainment of the evening and refreshments were sjjrved;;. Is it just an accident that you are here? Or, are you staying here at Normal just by accident? These are some of the questions asked by Mr. Berg in his Science class. Just how would you answer them? The Mohammedans say if Allah says it is your time to die you will die then, in spite of anything you. do to prevent it. Now, to the Japanese,' to die on the battlefield will insure you a place in heaven. Has the universe any plan ? The'., atmosphere of the earth extends only 235 miles above the earth's surface, and i t takes air to suspend wings of any kind, even angels. We wonder if there will be any room in that small space for us when-we die. But-it is only the evil serpent that tempts us to think of such things and ask such questions. Still all do think of those things and. ask those questions. . Are you a Fatalist, or do you just believe in Fatalism? That is to say, it's no use working or trying to work because if you don't get results, you are not supposed to, anyway, and it wouldn't have made any difference in your life even if you had studied. If you believe in fatalism all ultimate conclusions are absolutely predetermined or fixed by fate. Every event is controlled by destiny, so all we have to do is sit back and take an easy chair and let the world go around. Yearling Mixer Pronounced Big Success. Impressive Ceremony Attend Coronation of Queen. Campus Bring Cheerfulness [embers of Warring Factions • Sign Peace Treaty in Edens Hall Without question the Frosh class put on a mixer last Saturday night that was a "howling success." The floor, the music, the program, and even the punch, known as the "FroBh Freeze" were unique and pleasing. The decorations reflected the careful planning and back-breaking work of the committees, who so skillfully designed the. gt; icicles, the snowmen^ and ..the blue streamers.- The coronation of the queen was a vvery-impressive ceremony, the attendants looked every inch, lords and ladies, and the queen was charm itself. Between dances a corsage was presented to Miss Keeler, class advisor; Irene Obermueller gave a Russian dance, and Harold Houlton a banjo solo. There were" several favor dances, and tempting little bags of confetti were passed around just before the last dance. Everybody seemed to have a wonderful time. Although it was called' a Winter Carnival, it would undoubtedly have deserved the title of "mixer." The Frosh are looking forward hopefully to the spring quarter when they will probably put on another affair of like merit. The members of the class wish to thank Miss Kellar for the help she gave, and all others who helped to make the affair a fine success. The committee included the following: Dorothy McCool, Harold Houlton, Jack Kellogg, Beth Coughlin, Barbara Allen, Bertha Burkland, Anna Lund, Evelyn Small, Elenor Boshardt, Madeline Boshardt, Anna Aagard, Thelma Benshoof, Jean Barristo, Freda Miller, Carrie Tucker, Bert Atkinson, Al Brown, Ray Seeley, ^Kenneth Smith, Ted Lumley. ''" Bird lovers had a pleasant surprise' when two new flocks of birds arrived on the campus recently. Last Thursday morning a flock of more than a hundred Cedar Waxwings literally filled one of the trees on the Normal grounds. We cannot boast of the Waxwing's song, but for beauty he is hard to beat. He is a timid bird, and the naturalist must approach quite cautiously if he is to get close enough to .study the -bird. Friday morning a large flock of Western Evening Grosbeaks made their first appearance. They did not stick to the trees, however, but were oh the ground under J;he trees breaking open the-buds and cones that had fallen* -These are beautiful birds and.they brought a great deal of cheerfulness with them. ^ TO NEW MEMBERS Pledges Tortured w t h Qustions in Poetry, Short Story and Essays; Eight New MemEws Taken in.

Bond who will attempt, to be the associate. editor. •;• Attempt—Eldbn— attempt! And Miss Catherine Morse also an assistant to the editor, will continue Normalette.

Mr. Charles Dewey, also a star, will also ... shine, •*upon our readers in his reflections gleaned from the rather important news situations which actually grace campus life. It may be his will to keep us in-touch with our school at the Biological Station at Friday Harbor, Washington. ——W. S. N. S. For your approval we also place in your hand today a four-page Northwest Viking Alumni Supplement... Read it carefully (every word). Believe it. Then either frame it or send it to your less enlightened friends who may live in Muddump, Nebraska. Seriously, however, we believe that you of this summer session may be able to establish in this school a means not only to continue to publish a worthwhile monthly magazine, but also establish an alumni secretary. Do you believe that, it is a worthwhile thing to have a much better organised •' alumni association,., a., strong monthly publication, and a central means whereby to administer an exchange of what is growing and developing both in the mother school here also in- the teaching field?

In addition to the art work, class and club pictures, interest probably centers around the athletic section which is unusually well illustrated with realistic 'and natural action pictures. One of the new additions in the annual is in the Training school section which was unusually well planned and thought out. The annual will be of especial interest to teachers because of the glimpses into the real work-a-day world of the training school children, which these pictures give. These show children from the pre-primary class through the eighth: grade, in activities characteristic of their school life. The pictures are accompanied by brief explanations regarding the activities and purposes of the training school. ~ The staff of the annual deserves credit for the organized help given to the editor.

Toured Europe When 'Miss Fredericksoh toured Europe with the Swedish Glee club of Chicago- in 19237 ' the press reports of Stockholm's papers were as follows: "The Glee Club is a male chorus, but it's 'Star' is,Ebba Fredericksbn, and she is a charming young lady. Miss Fredericksbn is a violinist of high attainments, and although this is her first European tour, we feel sure many more will follow. All_the comment on her playing have been very favorable, and she has received'-'high" "praise from all the critics throughout the tour." Other press reports speak just as favorably about her personal fascination and charm as about her artistry.

'.,..'..-.' CAMPUS TRADITIONS : Because traditions are so much more "potent than regulations, the Board of Control and the Students' Association should create a feW traditions in regard to the care of the campus, and see that the new traditions are advertised in the Blue Book and elsewhere until they are accepted wholeheartedly by the student body. Normal, through the efforts of a gardener who is also a landscape artist, is developing as beautiful a little campus as could be found in the whole United States. If the gardener -Would be supported with the consideration of all of the students, it could be made much finer. 'Yet, as a matter of fact, careless students and training school youngsters do everything to the campus that should not be done. They chase golf balls and tennis balls through the shrubs and over the grass, they cut across the Jawn at all of ••'the' corners, often when an effort is being made to seed or transplant flowers or grass, and otherwise mutilate in a •little while what it has taken the gardener and his staff some hours to prepare, and nature some days to grow. „.-, l r the students in general could once be made conscious of what the gardener is doing, and trying to do,' and could be induced to accept a traditional courtesy in their attitude toward the beautiful things of our campus garden, the gardener would be able to do much more in the fifteen or sixteen hours a. day he puts in in beautifying our Alma Mater. thirty pupils to each grade and are a homogenous group. There, was such a great demand for observation during the summer that two teachers were required for each grade. In! the. primary grades the classes/had to be divided into three groups. •- Children Disappointed Many of the city school children were disappoihetd as half of the training school pupils returned for the summer session. In the third, fourth and fifth grades there might have been two classes as there was such a large number that wanted to enroll. : : 5;(By His ^wqrst Friend) ;d5^'editor sat back in his chair and groaned luxuriously, is 3tt^.easiesV7jpb I ever had' said; as he stretched. » "There isn't anything to do," he continued.' f'The paper runs itself.

We are all pleasure seekers; some of us enjoy: our work, and others enjoy popular pastimes. We can all go to dances and we can all play games. By., severing.: connections., wtth.. a little currency, we can all attend these new laughing, talking, singing affairs... Undoubtedly the age old custom of "wine and song" is still with us... Why do we want entertainment, enjoyment, popular pastimes? Why do we desire amuse* ment? It causes the mind to forget time. Entertainment is not the thing. Time is everything.

We are all set to seek better methods of passing the fourth dimension. The. following material has been listed to better help us all to make the quarter seem like the smallest possible fraction of living. There is a limited amount of studying permitted this quarter. One may attend nineteen hours of classes, and one shqjuld study two hours for each hour of class work. Now, I always did think that was a large assignment, so to our .program we will add hut two hours of. studying a Week. If we add thirty-five hours a week of sleep7 thai will leave us with one hundred twelve hours. ~ It is advisable for all of us to get in at least four hours of tennis a day. A scientific study will disclose that the natural functions of the :body cannot continue unless a person plays twenty-eight hours of tennis a week. This leaves us with but eighty-four hours of time. A weekly event occurs on Friday from 4:00 till 5:00../ The poletariat has incorrectly termed it *'Rec" hour. We are left with eighty-three hours and grave doubts. One of the interesting features of co-educational life is dates. I refer to that type of activity wherein two people cause time to pass more rapidly. Time is constant, hut the interpretation is varied. A good average would he two hours a day, leaving but sixty-nine hours.

It is very unusual when goats, bears and deer are not seen from the summit of the pass.

National Music Week, Arthur JohnVon, a young tenor of 7marked-'versatility and talent will .appear during assembly hour,- on Tuesday, May 3.; hi common with many pi the younger artists, Mr. Johnson is a college graduate, and his versatility is shown by the fact that at his graduation he was elected to that most exclusive of scholarship organizations, Phi Beta Kappa, ' His program contains songs of •every description, from the classics of the lieder w r i t e r to the decidedly light and, jolly ^oteigh Song" by - Kountz. Que of Mr. Johnson's. songs, '"Night Magic" by Harry Van Dyke, the brother of Mr. Johnsons accompanist, "May Van Dyke, is a setting of a .poem written by the singer. His work has been printed in several jpoetry magazines,, and he was recently the. recipient. of, a "First Prize" offering by Poets' Scroll, for a group of short lyrics. Perhaps of outstanding interest on. Mr. Johnson's program is the Aria ifrom "A Witch of Salem" by Charles Wakefield Cadman. ^ Appearance Is" Unique. Mr. Johnson's appearance .here is unique in still another way. Both l ie and his accompanist, May Van Dyke, perform entirely from memory. After their program in Bellingham Mr. Johnson and Miss Van Dyke go to .Taeoma, t h en to Seattle and later -to Portland; . The Portland Oregonian referred to Mr. Johnson's singing as a "genuine sensation" and stated he was called to the platform persistently. r 'Music: and Musicians" of Seattle Teeently said, "Concerning Mi-. Johnson's work, too; high praise is impossible. His freedom from mannerisms, his straight forward 'technique and originality of interpretations are embellishments to a voice of great 4beauty His art is sincere and entirely legitimate, for he stoops to no tricks to gain the approval of his audience." Tonight The Oregon Trail Informal, to bo held by, the Oregon Club in 'the Big Gym this evening promises to be one of the most interesting and unusual affairs of the quarter. •The committee in charge lias planned each. detail with ".care. The programs are artistic, the decora-, tions well thought out, and the Me-lodians have been specially instruct: ed for the occasion. '."--" . Due to the small size of the big Gym, tickets for but seventy couples will be sold. Nearly that many are gone already, showing that the afr. fair is not lacking in popularity among the students. — • -o——:—_, • ' •'•"'.

Sarett Spelling Test Sticks Students The courses schools demand for correspondence is growing in the larger If the scores made on a simple spelling test of eight words is to be considered a criterion of the avv erage Normal student's spelling ability, then there is certainly vast room for improvement in this field. The test in question originally comprised ten words, but two of•. them -have l gt;een lost. Lew Sarett gave the words to "Mr. Fowler..who brought them to the Messenger office,.where the staff failed miserably in its attempts to spell them.". . The t e s t next made its '• appearance at the Normal Drug Storej. where Harry gave i t t o everyone who came in, keeping a check on the scores made. "A frequency table compiled /by a former Ed. 2r student, is given below: alL over the United States. People who have long since left school are using them as means of improving their education and keeping in touch with the times. Years ago, the work here at this school was started by Mr. Bever, who then taught.and worked in the lleg-istrar's Office. He offered a few of his own courses for correspondence work. Since that time there has been a steady growth to meet the increasing demand from those : who have been here and have gone' into the. field as teachers and from those who ip\\ some reason cannot come to school but wish to keep in touch with the school, .y The correspondence work is under the direction of the Extension Department of which Mrs. Lovegrcn is at the head. Regular members of the faculty offer the courses, Some do not feel that they have; the time to give to correspondence work. Eventually, if this work is continued, instructors may be employed with the imderstanding that their load -of' teaching is to be lightened so that they can devote part of their time to regular correspondence courses. • The study is stunted by the use of too few books. Students in iso-~ lated communities do not have access to libraries and reference ma- | terial. Their study field is narrowed; and they lack class incentive and the personal encouragement and help of the instructor. Students Enjoy Courses On t h e other hand, "many- students have written 4hat they feel, they had gained a great deal from the work because they had to dig it out by themselves.- Tlie advantages of. correspondence Courses in Nature Study and Field Geography Will Be Under Direction of Hilda Rosene and Robert Landon Courses in Nature Study and Field Geography in the Mt. Baker region will be. conducted by the Normal School beginning June 19 and continuing until July 31. All students registered for courses in: Field Geography or Nature Study in the Normal for the summer session will be required to attend the field school for one week as a part of their regular Work. Provision has been made for those who wish to enroll in the course, although not registered in the regular Nature Study classes. All students -attending the course will be excused from their classes for one week. Class work will be conducted in the Mi. Baker region, 45 miles east of Bellingham. The school is located at. snow line, on the western slope of Mt. Baker, at an elevation of 5 0 0 0 feet. Headquarters will be in Kulshan Cabin, a two-story log building with 24x40 feet of floor space, with a living room, kitchen, storeroom, sleeping rooms and porch. The living and dining room will serve as a library and laboratory. A trained dietician and cook will have charge of the dining room service.

John Kerr was successful in assuming the natural-acting temperament of the proverbial director. The heroine, pure, cool aiid white was gracefully played by Vera Gin-nette. The vampire, without which the play could not exist, was undoubtedly a "howling" success as played by Carrie Tucker. . The ambitious hero who was hired for his good looks rather than for his acting ability, was profoundly interpreted by Robert Fisher. Henry Durr, as the new. type o t villain, presented in his own characteristic style, the dramatic end .of the play. The part of the old gentleman was well done by Maurice Thompson. The success of tliis play is largely accredited to the willingness and to the untiring efforts of the chairman, Lenorc White.

It is true that the students of this school have not put up a candidate this year,, but this fact should not deter them from entering whole-heartedly into a campaign which is just as much theirs as it is the residents of the city. By remaining aloof from the pre-festiyal activities, the students have given credence to the remark that the students of this school consider themselves as living in " A little world of their own." This is a sorry attitude to take and steps should be taken at once to eliminate it. Students of this school should really mix more freely in the activities of the city. They shouW avail themselves of the opportunities of entering local homes, meeting local people, attending local entertainments and local churches. They should enter the social life of the city as much as possible, thus enhancing their social status and at the same time gaining such experience which will bear fruit when the teacher is called upon to take up social life in her new community. A student upon leaving the Bellingham Normal School should carry away with him not only memories of school days and school friendships but also memories of happy hours spent in Bellingham homes, in Bellingham churches and with B ellingham people. ANNOUNCING CANDIDATES FOR THE TULIP KING CONTEST The following well known fashion plates have announced their intentions of entering the popular contest for Bellihgham's Tulip King. 1. Mr. Phillip Aeschylus Siske1. In an .interview recently Mr. Siske boldly asserted that he would easily emerge victorious because of the popularity he had gained as a.white collar ad for the Corrugated Collar Co. 2. Mr. Si. Schopenhauer Slocum It is said that when the manager of the contest called on Mr. Slocum, this Apollo-like candidate, took hiiri for a Fleischman yeast •representative and approached him saying, "For three years PSvas unable to do my house work; but after taking—". Here the manager cut him short and informed him as to the purpose of his call. All. Mr. Slocum would say, was, "I love the 'college girls, and I expect their votes." B y A . S . S . 3. tad.

O F W A S H I N G T ON The Viking baseball nine engaged the Washington Huskies last Saturday at Seattle, in a double-header, and came home with the short end of the scores of both tilts. The results were 8 to 1, in the first game, and 6 to 4 in the second fracas. W O R D S What a vast world of value lies in words! Natural creation and human existence have manifested themselves in present experience only because some few have uniquely recorded and preserved History. Man, whether creative genius or imitator, through countless generations has caused actual accomplishment and abstract progress to be reincarnated in future generations. We are profiting today from spontaneous subtleties of thought or from deep seate dphilosophical treatises that our ancestors first created and engrossed because they possessed the art of expression. Words have caused the fragment of a thought to become an actual visual image.? They have lifted humble industry from the prosaic and transformed it into something singularly sublime and comprehensive. Words are the basic elements pertinent to all literary contribution; they are a means by which ideas ate made transferable. ^_ What tragic humiliation has been traceable to words. Just as they have ben an incitement toward his- .i torical, political, economic , literary and social progress, words have a retrogressive power. In accordance with this retardative factor, all of human experience has suffered from lack of exacting expression. Ignorance and carelessness have entered V into situations resulting in utter mis-understanding. viTTie profundity and depth; of solemnity and the superficial character of literature are relevant only to phraseology. Austere truths have been transformed into humor; simplicity and the comic into loftiness. •^wfa decide future destiny. Only »ucces»ful application of them will FACULTY AND STUDENTS In the past- few years, the relationship between the faculty and the student body in this school has subtly changed. Formerly, there was a feeling of antagonistic deference on the part of the students. There was no thoughtful criticism but an undercurrent of unfocused protests and complaints which accomplished little. Students avoided friendship with the faculty for fear of having their actions misjudged, or deliberately became friendly in order to make a good grade, by having a "stand-in." Working for a teacher's favor has been eliminated by the introduction of a new testing system, and strange to say, since then, students find the faculty more human and individual: istic, and more sympathetic in their attitude. Instead of the relation of a greatly superior pedagogue to an inferior and stupid class, there is the realization that soon the student will acquire all the teacher has to offer, and will probably forge ahead into fields which the teacher has had no opportunity to enter. The fact that many older students are returning to take graduate work, and that , the faculty go back into the classrooms as pupils, has helped bring about a more equal feeling. Teaching students what is being done for them, and directing^ them, in judging and choosing,, opens the way to evaluating material offered, and methods used. The faculty welcome* fair criticisms,; and suggestions as to improvements in' presentations, instead of repulsing suggestions, as formerly they seemed to. do. It is a wise arrangement, and those seeking knowledge will gain by it: so long as they are sincere in their spoken criticisms, :arid work' as a whole for the highest standards in acquiring knowledge. Arestad says, "There is no doubt as to the outcome ofthis sumptuous affair. - The faculty under the leadership of Mi\ Kibbe is with, me to the last gasp. This backing linked with the fact that I wear a pink shirt, makes me see certain victory ahead. Much to the regret of the populace Mr. Bryan Hippocrates Hanking was forcd to withdraw from the contest since it i« strictly a single men's affair. Last Sunday being Easter we went to church. Glancing over the congregation we saw row on row of bright Easter bonnets. THERE WERE ALSO SEVERAL PEOPLE PRESENT WHO CAME TO HEAR THE SERMON". What the world more sincerity. needs today is •:J it * if Today's Bedtime ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1927 April 22 - Page 3 ---------- ISN^SPORT •Mnn Low Brow Roy . Odell sure socked . the old pill hard at Seattle last .Saturday, getting four safe blows in eight times at bat. If such a pace could be kept up by all members of a team, a winning ball club could be assured, provided (of course!) the opposition didn't hit the ball with an equal vim! A classy little third baseman is Zeke McCIurfcen. He was one of the high lights in the Saturday fray. His pegs to first base are on an even line and are easy for the first saeker to handle. Zeke's hitting for Saturday was. 286. Taking all in all the Vikings put up a good fight against the Washington Varsity men... In hits, if they mean anything in a ball game, the Bellingham men outdid the Seattle squad in the second game, and had Normal been able to make their eight safe Wows count,., the., score might have been different... In the second contest, "Normal had eight safe hits to Washington's six. Washington has a^ smart team and the Vikings need the practice, which has been denied the northinen by rain, snow, thunder, lightning, and hail. AVashington outfielders highly praised the Viking team, saying that they were completely baffled by their hitting. They said that they preferred to mix with some of the other Coast Colleges rather than the Normal nine. UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON Seattle Men Trample on Normal in First Tilt, Defeating Them 8 to 1, but Find Sledding Harder During' Second Game When t h e y Are Forced to be Content with 6 to 4 Score. v Possibly one of the prettiest tennis duels staged on the Normal courts was that between.'' Robinson., and Fisher, last Tuesday. Both exhibited mid-season form in their drive's, which were the better on Robinson's side. Although Fisher put up a game and desperate fight, Robinson- remained invincible, conquering his rival 6-3, 6-4. Here's a question that must and will soon be decided, "If Fisher can't do it, perhaps Myer Thai can." SI SAYS 'If Normal, can't defeat higher institutions, they'll take on the High Schools, and attempt to hand them the short end of the score." "Mike" Meek took. a trial run against his former Whatcom team mates last Monday afternoon. The race was run in a cold south wind, and considering this, good time was made. He took first place, with Tommy Marsden coming in third. "Chuck" Cooper has been chosen by his teammates for captain of the baseball nine. Chuck has "diamond" sense and should prove successful in leading the Vikings against the other schools. He will lead the team from behind the bat. U OF W. follow 2 col First Game. Normal opened the fire works' to score the first run of the first game on a hit, an error by Gardner, Husky hurler, and a sacrifice fly by Kemp. Washington came back in the fourth to score o n a hit, a walk and an error by the Viking hurler. Washington Agauf;'Scores. Washington scored again in the fifth canto on a walk, having advanced on two infield outs and a fielder's choice. In the following inning, the Nor-may boys must have given the bases some pre-war stock, because they had them loaded with one out when Caseys in the form of two Viking boys, came to bat and struck out. Seventh Is Fatal. All Viking hopes were dashed to the rocks in the seventh, when the Huskies scored six runs1 on a walk, error, two fielders' choices and four hits. Second Game. Washington started the dust flying in the opening of the second game. The first Husky hitter, Mul-lane, was hit by a pitched ball, and a sacrifice and a hit put him across home plate. Two markers were chalked up in the third inninge by the Viking men; The scoring came as a result of an error and a sacrifice fly. These men then advanced, and were brought in on a two-bagger by Ray Odell. Washington came back and scored three runs in the third inning and two in the fifth. The fifth-was the fatal canto for the Bellingham team. In the fifth, the Vikings knocked Washington's elongated right hander out of the (box,'who was substituted by a crooked arm, who ceased hostilities. Normal made a desperate bid for honors in the final inning, when Odell and Kemp reached the bases, but didn't reach home. NORMAL^ MlXr^S WITH EVERETT TOMORROW Tomorrow, Everett High School comes hre to take on the Viking baseball nine. The game "is to be/ played on Waldo Field, and the call "play ball" will be sounded at 2:30 P. M. For a prep team, Everett has one of the strongest teams in the state. Their. hurler, .Eddie Novak, is largely responsible for the wonderful showing that team has made. A thrilling contest is anti cipated, for in a previous-game at Everett, which was called off on account of rain, the teams battled evenly for the few innings played.

Students will be able to show their stuff next week' when the "men's horseshoe tournament begins. The courts will be on the athletic field. Handball, another popular sport, will, begin aB soon as the courts are built. These courts will be back -of the grandstand, on which work will begin soon.- Both tournaments will be run on the elimination plan. W. A. A. INITIATION As many of the men are now' taking part in archery, why not adapt i t to the men's athletic program? And there is the barnyard pastime, why not adopt it, too. Pulling the bow, and flinging the horse's-shoes should prove fascinating. Weight reducer Earl Hemmi, sprinter of former. Viking fame, is out every night working hard for a twofold purpose. First; he wants to cut down weight; secondly, he. wants to make himself useful so that he might be able to run his races in time that will place in the Normal meets.

Stanford University defeated the Golden Bear of Califonia in their annual track meet last Saturday. The Cardinals stepped out and won twelve of the fifteen events and gained a ninety to forty victory. California's first places were in the 120-yard high hurdles, two-mile and the 880-yard run. , : O Well, any way, the time has arrived wjien no longer can a man hide behind a woman's petticoats. Blue Bird bin 217 East Holly St., Bellingham LIGHT LUNCHES Fancy Candied Fountain Service HOME MADE PASTRY The hare and hound chase which features the spring initiation of the W. A. A. was held Saturday at State Park. The initiates as hounds left on the ten o'clock interurban, to pursue the hares who had left an hour before. The trail was picked up at Wild Cat cove and led over the hill and away through the woods. The hounds rushed ahead in a vain effort to overtake the fleeing hare who arrived at the park before them. A fire had been constructed early in the morning and after burning two hours vwas raked away and salmon wrapped in sea-weed was buried in red hot stones. The fire was-then re-kindled and burned for two hours over the fish. Finally Chief Cook Bond and his assistant Rucmick gave word that the fish was done. It was raked from the fire and the hikers settled down for lunch. New Teachers Guests ; President and Mrs. Fisher and the Misses Ullin, Dilley, Dixon, Cum-mingg, McPherson, Erickson and George, were guests of the club at the salmon bake. After lunch games of skin the snake and ring tennis were played.* There were several relay races and finally a baseball game between the new members of the faculty and the old ones. President Fisher, pitching for the Heavy Hitters, played his usual brand of sterling ball. 'The best salmon bake ever held," was the verdict, of all who attended. Ring tennis, a new game at the Normal, has met with the hearty approval of students and faculty. This game is highly recommended by the National Amateur Athletic Association and has been adopted by most of the eastern universities. The game is much like deck tenuis, which is played on ship-board. The main diffeence between lawn tennis and ring tennis, is that instead of batting a ball with a racket back and forth over a low net the players toss a rubber ring with their hands back and forth over a high net". As in the game of lawn tennis the ball, so in the game .of ring tennis, the ring is sent back and forth over the net until one player fails to return it or puts it into the net or outside the court. Points are scored as in volleyball and the game is. played until one side makes u total of fifteen points. One of the advantages of-the game is that it can be played equally well in the gym, on the campus or any other fairly level piece of ground.- HOCKEYGOLF WILL BE PLAYED ON CAMPUS Early next week a flock of little blue flags is to make its appearance on the froiit lawn. This is not a golf tournament or a yacht race but another new game being started by the P. E. department. This game i» called hockey-golf and is very much like golf but is played with a hockey stick and ball. The ball is shot Medley Run^Consists of 220-yard Dash, 440, 880, and 1,100-yard Runs. With the approach of the U. of W. Relay Carnival, Coach Carver has started elimination for the medley relay team to be entered. The medley consists of a 220-yard dash, 440-yard run, 880-yard .and three-quarter mile runs. At present it looks as if 'the entries will be: Hemmi, 220-yard dash; Bimnellj 440-yard run; Gallinger, 880-yard run, and Meek the three-quarter mile run. The other entry is the 100-yard dash, for which Coach Carver is preparing Jlemmi. Hemmi stepped off the century, in 10.3, this week. Estill Looks Good. Estill' looks good and it may be that it will be between Hemmi and Estill for the 220-yard dash. In the elimination run for the 440, last Tuesday, Bud Bunnell took first with a time of 55.2, Gallinger coming second, and Baldry, a newcomer from the U. of W., frosh team, third. Brotnov is working hard in the half-mile. Meek in Good Form. NMcek represented Whateoni Hi last year at the State meet in the mile, taking third place. Meek is a nice, easy runner and' will make any of his competitors steap to keep up with him. The coming week will be devoted to getting into the best condition and finishing form to the best degree. Nothing very strenuous will be done by those entered in the Carnival. around the course and must hit all the flags in numerical order. The flags serve as do holes in golf. -The number of strokes to make the course is counted and this is the final score. The game was started last fall in the P. E. classes and war much enjoyed. Since then girls '* have been asking for some place to play it regularly. For those who expect to take up golf it gives good practice in aiming and driving balls. • RANCH WANTED WANTED—Hear* from owner good Ranch for sale. Cash price. Particulars. D. F.

Were not proud to be Ananias' kin, We follow his teaching to save our skin. When our themes are late, we frame an excuse, To prooe to dear teacher we are not obtuse; If We told the truth, her icy stare Would put to shame the cool Delaware!

The Klipsun snap-shot editor tells me that there are only two weeks left for which to torn in prints for the annual "shooting" contest. I t says on the bulletin boards to beg, borrow or steal such contributions. But there is still time for the conscientious snap-shooter to vie 'mongst venerable Vikings and secure . the imprints of their idiosyncrasies unawares, or if faculty members, beseech them to pose "characteristically." Six dollars in trade at the Co-op awaits the three victors. Five prints must be submitted by each contestant with name on back of each so that contributions can be returned to owners later. They most be in by Friday, March 8, 1939, a t the Student's association box in the main office, or handed in at the Student's Co-op. Any snap depicting student life or campus scenes which is of interest t o students as a whole will be the more acceptable contribution to judge. W. S. N. S. A word about our debate teams. Despite discouraging factors brought in last quarter, forensic interests have quietly and modestly organized four" debate teams which are today and tomorrow representing Bellmgham Normal in intercollegiate clashes in the central part of. the state. The questions for dispute are: "Resolved that the plea qf temporary insanity in defen.se qf crime be abolished," and "Resolved that the present jury system be supplanted by trial before a jury of judges." ' Today a debate in the auditorium will be staged to which all students and faculty are invited. On Tuesday, March 5, at the regular assembly, the mens team will mix toith the U. of W. frosh on the latter question. W. S. N. S.

Miss Dow, Who Has Studied with Madame Davenport-Engberg, Presented Varied Program. ARTISTIC INTERPRETATION The "Concerto in B Minor" and "The Song of India" Were Skillfully Interpreted by the Artist. Emily Bentley Dow, Seattle violinist and pupil of Madame Davenport- Engberg, presented a varied program of well selected compositions in last Friday's assembly. She was accompanied by her brother, James Dow, at the piano. Miss Dow's interpretation of Saint Saen's difficult composition "Concerto in B Minor" was received with much enthusiasm because of the perfect evenness with which she played the rapid technical passages which required a great deal of artistic shifting and fingering agility. Flute-Like Tones Perhaps a most startling and beautiful part of Miss Dow's playing was her ability to produce the singing, flute-like tones which characterize Saint-Saens' masterpiece. She played a favorite selection of Kreisler, "Caprice Viennoise." Her excellent rendering of this composition showed delicate and perfect intonation. Perhaps the most absorbing and spirited selection was the "Dance of the Goblins" by Bezzini, Radiates Gaiety The complicated bow movements and supple fingering which radiated such gaiety in this climaxing selection seemed conclusive proof of her being- a "finished" violinist. She played, as an encore, the well known "Song of India,' whose plaintive melody found a new expression in her rendition of it. She excelled in bringing out the full value of the long sustained notes which define the piece. Besides her own talent, her accompanist, James Dow, added much to the concert in forming a fine musical background for Miss Dow's playing. — o Miss Orpha McPherson, Supervisor of Rural Schools, Has Worked Out Unique Curriculum. The students of the rural curriculum, with Miss Orpha McPherson as their supervisor, receive interesting experience in the out-of-town schools. These schools are situated as far away as twelve miles from Bellingham, making it necessary for student teachers to spend all day with their charges. Industrial arts is a phase of school work somewhat neglected in many rural schools owing to lack of time and equipment. However, the children of our schools of the Meridian Consolidation are doing some interesting work hi textiles^ papermaking, leather and interior decoration. At present the children of the third gradesi are making a study of the 1|o^r f uhdamental kinds of clothing material, namely cotton, wool, silk and linen. Study Cotton In studying cotton some interesting charts have been made of samples of cloth, thread and the stages of its manufacture. Miss Theresa Gunther of the Industrial Arts department, has been contributing invaluable help in carrying out this project. To give the pupils an insight into this industry they have made cottin gin, and Mrs. Ne-gard, a neighbor who was born and reared in Norway, brings her spinning wheel to school for demonstration in the spinning of cotton and woolen thread. The children are very grateful for this generous contribution and consider it a great privilege to witness such a unique performance. ..... . . An interest in paper making grew out of the study of papyrus in The Viking Vodvil Big Event of Year Manager "Randy" Oberlatz, of this year's annual Viking Vodvil, urges all clubs and independents to start working on their acts for the Vodvil at once. The date has not been set as yet, but it may appear on Campus Day, May 1. The Viking Vodvil, it is announced for the benefit of new students, is the big event of the year. The auditorium is the scene for a riot of fun when seven or eight club and independent acts are given. It is also expected that a two reel comedy will be shown. "L »» L APPEAR ON FEB. 26 The London String Quartet, Fourth Number on the Musical Artist Course, Are World Famous. As the fourth number of the series of Musical Artists Course concerts, the London String Quartet makes its appearance next Tuesday evening, February 26, at 8:15 o'clock in the auditorium of the First Christian church. The quartet, which was founded in 1908, is remarkable not only for the instantaneous and lasting success it has enjoyed, but also because it is the only chamber music organization which has been self-sustaining since its inception, winning its way in competition with endowed quartets. Talented -Members Consisting of John Pennington, first violin, Thomas Petre, second violin, H.~ Walso-Warher, viola, and C. Warwick Evans, cello, the "Londoners," as they are frequently called, are known from one end of the globe to the other. They have made seven transcontinental tours of the United States and Canada, and visited Honolulu twice. They have over one hundred and fifty London appearances to their credit, and three tours of Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Spain. They have played in France and Holland seven times, and. made two extensive tours of South America. More than a hundred new works have been introduced and produced by this unique organization. There are few musicians who play as many concerts annually as the "Londoners," and no matter in what corner of the globe they may be booked, their success is assured. The quartet is the epitome of fine musicianship; each artist is a poet of the string music, and they have never faltered in their faith in their public's tasthe and discrimination in the finest music that can be played. Their success is a justification of that faith! World-Famous Ensemble The press has it that "the quartet is one of the world's most famous chamber music ensembles, and has been heard throughout Europe and South America with "great success. The members of the quartet showed themselves to be players of great feeling and precision, and every number is played with a beauty and finish that wins the audience from the very first movement. Letter Received From Professor E. A. Bond (Continued on Page Four) Word has been received from Professor E. A. Bond of the mathematics department, who is on leave of absence to attend Columbia University, that his son, Austin Bond, who graduated with a Master's Degree from Columbia about two years ago, has just accepted a position as ; head of the biology department of ! Albert University, in the state of (New York, and has left to take up this new duties at once. ! In his letter,'dated* February 11, ' Mr. Bond stated that the winter in | New York City had been very mild, j with-no snow and very little ice, in I fact the mildest winter Mr. Bond has ever experienced in New York City. Mr. Bond sent his greetings to; lallthe:faculty ; . • '.:;;•'••• \'J: Players Perform To Capacity House; Richards Is Success "King or beggar would not muzzle me if I had a wish to say my mind." So spoke Owen Keegan, in "Autumn Fire", a three-act play by T. C. Murray, presented by the Moroni Olsen Players, Tuesday evening, February 19, before a capacity audience. This play brings to mind the story of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde". In the first two acts we have the strong, cheerful character of Owen Keegan, farmer. He is an old man who has forgotten of dwindle with age. He is clear of eye and complexion, and strong as an ox; he is immense in stature, straight as a poplar, and exuberant in his youthful spirit. Is An Invalid Due to a fall sustained in breaking a wild horse, he is forced to remain in bed, and from then on he is a different man. He is no longer cheerful and kind, but sad and morose. Life had lost its color and beauty, for this strong minded farmer, and now he thinks only of death. Moroni Olsen, who played the part of Owen Keegan, showed this double character with remarkable exactness. In his youthful existence he was all that a young man should be yet with enough reserve for an older man. He gave a true picture of a wealthy farmer of the small agricultural districts near Cork, Ireland. Richards Does Well The part of Micnael, Keegah's son, was played by Addison Richards, who did a splendid piece of work. He was a "chip off the old block" when it came to making love and he handled this delicate part in remarkable fashion. Dorothy Adams as Nance, the young wife of Keegan, had a part which required a great deal of talent.

But just as the fad of being "collegiate" struck young America, so has the fad of being ironical struck them. It is usually accepted that the fellow u)ho stands aloof with a curled lip is the fellow who is doing some real "original thinking." "Original thinking" seems to us to be somewhat over-worked, too, of late. The person who does some so-called "original thinking" is the person admired. But, I wonder. Beth Caley REPORTERS Jack Gudmunson Sid Thai Lawrence Dufraine Frieda Arbuckle Claire Patterson Edna B. Finley Genevieve Warren Roy Sundstrom ARE Y O U W A N T E D ? According to an article in the February issue of the W . E. A . journal by Leo. B. Baisden, superintendent of schools at Longview, superintendents are looking for teachers who in addition to technical training have the subtle quality of inspiring effort, of lifting education out of the pages of books. They are looking for teachers who go beyond the mere teaching of class room subjects—teachers who have something to contribute to the school and to the community—teachers with culture, who interest and enhusiasm in fields of art, drama, music, literature, athletics, etc.. The vitality of a school system depends upon teachers with initiative and self reliance who are not bound by the limits of a course of study and who are willing to co-operate in joint enterprises, while at the same time they use their own individuality in the means of accomplishing their work. Do you belong to the ten thousand word club? If you don't, you should—ten thousand words read a week. Everybody is joining—let's make this a record year! What will we do if there are many more things published to read, with the Literary Guild and The Book of the Month club shoving the latest fiction at us, fairly forcing us to read to "keep up?" And besides there is "Judge." "Life" and _ , •• HERO WORSHIPERS George Washington—the cherry tree and the hatchet—we wonder how many times this story has been told in the American public schools during the week, without considering the number of trees and hatchets made in art classes. Modern biographers try to picture their men with all the baser characteristics that they possess and as Few complimentary things as possible. George Washington has not escaped the scathing pen of the modernist and the hatchet story and other folk tales have been the subject of many thrusts today. We realists, to whom disillusionment is a great catastrophe, poke fun at the idealist and the products of his too fruitful imagination. We feel pround of our scientific age in which we have a reason for everything and everything for a reason. And so tomorrow when we are enjoying our holiday most of us will be glad that there are a"few hero worshipers left in the world. It seems as if swinging doors are more convenient than others, so why not use them right and avoid a few "head-on collisions" and blackened lamps? Fully half of the students who enter library study rooms, particularly the Reference-Room, do not know which door.to use on entering, and which one to use on leaving. Some of us learn by hard knocks and trial-and-error methods. So, to prevent further calamities, this article is dedicated. In short, we must co-operate and "keep to the right". *" —R. L. "For how limited our joys Would be Whether on sea or land If only things that we could love Were the things we understand." This sweet, perfumed^thought is one from St. John Brock Smith, and what a lot it says. Thoughts like these are like a cool, dripping of a sparkling fountain in this world tormented by acid cynics. Trust people. Believe in people. Make a hobby of people. You'll be cheated—yes—-many times. But in the long run you'll win all that the cynics and pessimists lose. —Forbes. WET FEET? Colds being as prevalent as they are, have caused much discussion as ot their origin. The. Corvallis Gazette-Times has advanced the opinion that one cannot catch cold by being cold, because a cold starts from a germ,f and exposure to the elements does not create a germ. Therefore, we need not worry about wearing our zippers when its wet, let the rain patter on your uncovered head, pay no attention to the decrease in temperature for the simple reason, if there's no germ, there's no cold. A Chicago physician scoffed at the report that King George caught cold while standing in the rain bare headed. He is quoted as saying "You've got to'account for the germs before I will be interested in any theories, to the effect that the king caught cold in the rain." All well and good, but it is our theory that, a germ, be he ever so insignificant, has a preference for certain conditions and given those conditions, he thrives and develops. There are always all kinds of germs which we are subject to and they persistently hover around. When colds are prevalent, as they have been lately, it is almost impossible to dodge them. The coughing chorus in every crowd, the minus-a-handkerchief-sneezers on the streets and our close association with individuals, all contribute to the "cold cause." % r Wet feeti drafts, cold rooms, needless exposure, all contribute to the emciency of the cold germ and he wakes up to find that at last he has his victim. %§90*1 ^ ^ ^ l ^ i e l l p p i l a^ Dear Editor: Now that the library is under fire why not do the job up right? There seem to be a number of details of the management of the library that could be easily remedied and which would thus greatly improve the value of the library to the students. The closing of the library at 5:30 causes many students . who have rooms some distance from school, and who board at the dorm, to lose a half hour of time which might be profitably applied toward the much-coveted A's. The student who finishes a basketball game, or a conference or what-not at 5:20 or 5:40 has nothing at his disposal whereby he can improve his time till six o'clock. $260,000 is a lot of money to be standing idle when needed. Then it seems that some arrangement could be made whereby the library could open at ten or fifteen minutes before eight in the morning so that students who have reserve books out, and also have eight and nine o'clock classes, could return the books in time without imposing on their friends. The question of disturbing the quiet of-the. library'has been mentioned, and it seems that a quiet exchange of ideas would be possible in the reading room without danger of turning the place into a madhouse. The fact that whisperers often have to be seen rather than heard would indicate that the disturbance was not great. Should any common, unsancti-fied student be so sacrilegious as to even touch the sacred light switches (be it ever so dark in the reading room) he immediately brings upon his head the wrath of the Powers That Be. We have difficulty in determining why the pushing of a light button should be classed among the sacraments. ART CRAM. .—o Marquis K.

After the crew has visited Cairo they will go on to Palestine, returning home via Vienna. In order to give the crew training in landing methods, a mooring mast has been erected at a flying field at Loewenthal, near Friedrichschafen.

The second game was, played at Lacey against the St. Martin's Rangers. This was another victory for the home boys, making it two successive wins for the Vikings. * * * * There is only one more game left. for the Viking quintet in this season.

OdeU's shooting this season has been one of the mainstays of the Viking scoring attack. He has been one of the most consistent shots on the squad this year. * * * * HERE WE HAVE CURLIE COLE, VIKING ATHLETE, WHO REPRESENTS THE MEN'S CHOICE FOR THE KING OF DARTS, AS HE WILL APPEAR AT THE NEXT MEN'S CLUB INFORMAL.

With a number of old men back, and a host of new material, the coach expects to round out a well balanced cinder squad for the 1929 season. * * * * Likewise he is expecting to have a well balanced diamond squad to put into the tri-Normal competition this year.. With almost a complete infield intact from last year, and a couple of hard-hitting outfielders around which to build a team, the fielding should be pretty well handled. The coach has a line on a couple of pitchers and catchers that have no mean reputation. So, all in all, ten prospects are rather rosy. * * * * BIOGRAPHY One man we .have not yet talked about in this weekly biographical section is one of the Viking mainstays, Ray Odell. Ray is the only benedict on the Viking squad. Ray says his home town is away up in the Cascades, a place called Sno-qualmie. It is from there that the speedy Normal athlete first came to this school. After playing football, basketball and baseball here he went to the University of Washington for a quarter where he was connected with the Super-Varsity football squad. Then last spring he returned to the Normal, where he played football last fall and has been one of the chief reasons for the Viking victories this present basketball season. Ray is one of the few men of this school who manage to win their letters in three major sports in one year. His greatest achievement comes in baseball, where he has had considerable success in semi-pro ball and is reported to have had a trial with one of the Coast League Ball clubs. VIKINGS TAKE GAME DROP FROSH PARLEY Odell is High Point Man in Fast Game with U. of W. Yearlings. Rangers Taken in by 10 Points. The Normal Vikings were handed a 25 to 35 set-back at the hands of the U. of-W. Frosh last Friday in the U. of W. pavilion. It was one of the fastest games the yearlings have played this season, and at the half they were leading the Belling-ham squad 25 to 11. Odell, who was high point man of the contest with 11 points, broke loose and sank three field shots in the last half of the fray. McClurk-en, Dixon and Anderson also connected with the hoop in this canto to raise the Viking total. The Frosh' also broke through and, led by Hovies, star guard, they passed and dribbled their way to four field goals. Swygard was high point man for the Frosh with eight points. Tired Vikings Back From Road Trip The boys had a swell time on the road trip and broke' even on their games. Mr. Kolstad, the official scorer for the team, will also watch his pocket-book after what happened Friday evening. r r BROADCASTING This Week A Year Ago B. M. H.

A fast Viking quintet, which found itself in the final half of a hard fought game with the St. Martin's College five, turned the trick with a score of 33 to 23. The game was played before a large crowd on the Lacey floor. At the end of the first half the Vikings were leading by a small score, 14 to 13. They had trouble getting their plays off fast enough to score. With the beginning of the second half the Vikings showed an attack that completely overwhelmed the Rangers. They used a fast,, short pass attack, and worked the ball under the basket to score repeatedly. Odell and McClurken were the scoring ends of the Viking rally; they connected for three ringers each in the final half. The Line-ups Normal (33) St. Martins (23) Odell, 12..

Starting with the editorial department, the students were shown the telegraph machine, which brings the world news to the paper, and the morgue, a file of references consisting of past paprs, to which reporters may refer in getting information for stories. Then they were taken to the engraving department, where pictures are developd to, make "cuts" or pictures for the paper, and where pictures are "touched up" to show clearly in print. Then to the composing room, where the students were shown the linotype machines, the form in which the type from the linotypes are placed, and the molding machine, which molds a lead was poured into it, acting as if it would squirt all over the room. The finished product is in the form. Extension Office Gets Many Calls Mrs. May Lovegren, of the Extension Department, says that there has been an exceptionally large number of calls for the extension of, a lead plate which contains all bulletin lately, which would indicate that a large number of former students are interested in correspondence work. The extension department is also busy running out tests, outlines and material for the student teachers. o — VIKING JR.

This plate is handled with much care, since it has to be perfect in every particular. Web Breaks The pressroom was the object of many questions by the students. By coincidence, the long roll of paper, which runs through the press on its revolving cylinders, broke when the students were there, enabling'them to watch the straightening out of a tangled mass of paper and to see how paper is run through the machine. Besides that they saw how the plates are placed on the rollers, and the starting, stopping, adjusting and speed of the machine. The last place of interest the students were shown was the circulation department." From here the form of cardboard to the type in mail edition is started on its way, the forms. The classes then visited the stereotyping department where one of the molds from the composing de-par tmnt was placed in a plate machine (a machine which .the sjji-dents view with alarm) then hot and here also the newsies receive their papers. This last department is an item in itself, as the greatest of speed is needed here. The students were amazed when they saw the big piles of papers to be gotten out in such a short period of time.

S E Y M O U R IN C O N D I T I ON Coaches Carver and Keeney Have Made Several Shifts in Line. Backfield Positions Doubtful. Coach "Sain" Carver's Vikings are to meet the Cheney Savages tomorrow afternoon at 2:30, .on Walde Field, in the biggest home game of the 1926 football season and the leading event of the Annual Homecoming. The Savages lack the power shown in recent years, having wen but one game this season, and that by a 13- 12 score. Nevertheless they present a line-up calculated to give much opposition to the Bellingham men. They have conquei'ed the W. S. C. Freshmen, but have dropped games to Gonzaga, Whitman, College of Idaho, and the Idaho Freshman. The mix lost to the Idaho' team was by a 19-0 score, and as Ellensburg defeated that same aggregation 7-0, Cheney is not doped as the equal of either Ellensburg or Bellingham. Sometimes, however, early season defeats serve to put a football squad in a fighting mood, hard to down, for its big games. If this "has happened to the Savages, they are likely' to secure the scalps of the stalwart host. Coaches .Carver and Keeney have been driving the men this week for this: all-important Tri-Normal clash. Russ Seymour, brightest of stars, is in fine shape for the contest. His injured hand is rapidly healing. The former Ballard flash has proved by far the most consistent of the backfield men, and as a triple-threat man is expected to prove the biggest thorn in the side of the Savages. The remainder of the back positions are still in doubt, with Odell favored over.-; Estill at quarter and Stickney, Clarke, and Hawkings fighting for the two halfback positions. J The line" has undergone many shifts, and its composition when the opening whistle blows is still in doubt. Drake and Thorsen are doped to appear in the end positions, with Shelton and Chrisman at tackle. The guards will be selected from Beighle, Hinds, Baxter, and Blizzard; the cen-. ter position is doubtful, with Ed Hyde and Don Stickney. about even bets to get the call. The following men will be in reserve: Backs, Hansen, and,C. Hyde;:ehdSj Edmundson arid Brown; tackles, Wariamaker and Iversori. TACKLE FULLBACK - QUARTER GUARD END WM.

" O L D E N G L I S H " IS P L AY Leading Role Presents Wonderful i .Study in Character Acting. Play Ran Entire Season in N. Y. Of interest to many .Normal students will be the appearance of George Arliss in "Old English," at the American Theater, Tuesday evening, November 9. This play was written especially for Mr. Arliss by Viking John Galsworthy! Considered by London arid New York critics as the foremost actor of the English theater of today, Mr. Arliss has played on the legitimate stage for the past thirty years, with occasional motion picture acting during recent years. "Old English" is the portrayal of a "great old sinner' who had his grand fling in youth and still clutches at the straws of pleasure at eighty with spiteful arrogance. This type of the old English gentleman of some years ago is familiar to Mr. Arliss "as he himself grew up in the shadow of Westminster Abbey, where these proud and independent old men, would wander about, usually lingering in book shops. Fine Character Study, Theodore "Cederberg,-../who saw George Arliss in his present role when playing Broadway two seasons ago, states that - although the plot of "Old English" is not so engrossing as is the story of "Disraeli" or "The Green Goddess," the character • created T gt;y Mr. Arliss is strikingly more attractive;, The presentation is as fine a, study in character acting as can be afforded a student of dramatic- art.

Normal Debaters Have Established Excellent Record By GEORGE A L L EZ • The Bellingham State Normal has a debate record that it can well be proud of. In 1924 this school won tHe Allison Cup in the Tri- Normal debates with Ellensburg and Cheney. In 1925, Bellingham Normal defeated Cheney in a dual debate on the question of National Fraternities. The Colorado College, while on a tour debating the Child Labor question, met its first and only defeat at the hands of the Bellingham Normal team. The woman's team of the Normal lost to the woman's team of the Pacific College of California. Besides the two teams which are chosen every year to represent the school, club debate teams are chosen for the inter-club debates. These are a series of debates between the clubs of the school. An independent team is also chosen from students who do not belong to clubs but who are interested in these debates. Notices for .try-outs for club teams are already posted on the bulletin boards. Each club is urged to feel the responsibility of choosing the best1 team possible to represent it. •-.' ''"'• -'•' . ' • . ' - .

In the course of the last two weeks a number of students in this school have acquired the obnoxious habjit of leaving their books on a desk' in the Library and then disappearing to spend an hour or two somewhere else. Perhaps they "take the air." Perhaps they stand in the main hall. No one knows, because no one has time to watch them. Suffice it to say at this time that they deprive others of a privilege. According to the fundamental principles of human behavior, the actions are not committed by intelligent persons. The books are left on the desks by unintelligent or selfish persons who have absolutely no regard for the right of others. It would discredit the institution to reveal the fact that we have mentally afflicted students among us. Based upon actions of late, however, this conclusion may be safely drawn. In the future, when you want to go out take your books with you. Let other students \have an equal opportunity to use the Library facilities. Please remember, that when you deposit $2.00 with the registrar when you enroll, that you do not receive a deed to theLibrary. A good remedy for breaking the habit under discussion might be to throw a few books out of the Library window? o : Next week the Messenger will be dedicated to the Sourdough Club. Theodore Cederberg, acting associate editor of the Messenger, will have charge of next week's paper. In a recent editorial it was announced that the members of the advanced class should edit one issues of the paper as a final examination. Theo. Norby, a member of the Messenger force this quarter, and a former reporter for the Whatcom World, is acting assistant editor of the Homecoming issue of the Messenger. HOMECOMING! From all indications, tomorrow promises to be the biggest and best Homecoming day ever. The student and faculty committees have done everything possible to make it a gala affair. During the past week an unusual amount of pep has been stirred up among the student body. Henry Durr has managed very successfully to get an enormous pile of rubbish from downtown to heap on the flames for the big blaze scheduled for 7:30 this evening. The enthusiasm aroused by the serpentine at 6 : 3 0 tonight, followed by the bonfire, should have everyone keyed up for the big day tomorrow. , The lag game at 2 : 3 0 tomorrow is sure to be a thriller. The relative power of the Savages is unknown, as no comparative scores can be obtained. It is known, however, that the Cheney aggregation is a fast, shifty, eleven. If the teams are evenly matched we have the advantage, psychologically speaking. In the first place, we are meeting Cheney at home, before a thousand students, and a large number of returning grads. In the second place, our loss last week will have to be atoned for, and it may just as well-be with Cheney as the Super-Varsity. In the third place, this game determines whether or not the Vikings are to occupy the cellar this year. _ «, Through the Messenger, the faculty and students are extending a hearty invitation to all alumni who are returning to their Alma Mater 'tomorrow.

Miss Sundquist dismissed her eight o'clock class in Science, because the" room was terribly cold. The students lost an hour of an invaluable lecture, but they saved themselves from ja, probable catching cold; "Health first" seems to be the policy in that particular class. It should be the policy of every individual. What would it profit a man if he gains the whole world of knowledge and lose his life? But this is not the end of it. The school authorities should see to it that the comfort of the students in the school be attended., to... "An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure." The preliminary grades for the first five weeks of the quarter seem to be coming out of their hives. Students look at them as they would at a mirror. The grades reflect the image of the night life of the students. In most cases the silent ones have better showing than those who talk too much in the class. What is this grade-making business, anyway? ' In one way it is a duty, as the grades are needed in getting a diploma of any kind. And the diploma seems to be the label of the so-called 'educated man.".. But from a broader point of view, the grade should not be the ultimate aim of the student... Miss Wilson .has voiced the opinion of the writer when she said: "I long for the time when I can teach a class that does not work for a grade. * • * * * The literary competition conducted by the Messenger has been extended until November 15, because, up to the day the contest was supposed to close, very few had responded... We cannot expect any more than that. The students in the Nomral are inclined to the., art., and., science ..of teaching; that's why they are here. Literature, journalism,., do., not always blend with pedagogy in the average individual... I wish they would! « ' » • » Tomorrow the campus will ring with the voices of the Alumni in the annual Homecoming festivity. The day is not just an occasion for having old "friendships renewed, loyalty repledged, and so forth and so on. It is not just a time for knowing the young people who are following the footsteps of those who had been here once upon a time. It is not just a day for walking around the campus and taking joy and pride that those Normal days are gone, and gone forever. To the seriousrminded alumnus this day should sound the signal of a moral challenge. , The history of this institution has been, and is still being, and will always be, made by the alumni. Its progress reflects upon its graduates, and the achievement of the alumni crowns this institution. On this only day dedicated to the fellowship of the institution and its graduates, the alumni should look into their Alma Mater with a sense of their responsibility as graduates, and thier obligation to society. They shouTd look into the needs of the institution, its potential possibilities in the years to come, and they should have a vision of her future in the light of present circumstances. And when this is done they should, and they must, exert every effort to work for whatever would perpetuate the glory of their Alma Mater, place her in a better position to serve the state, and assure a future of promise for this Normal of the Ages. _ o—— A New Shop for the Hill District.

Why should we have to be numbered in;-rows and our instructors alternate the papers as if we were fourth graders? Why should our next door neighbor be put to the inconvenience of suffering from a cramped hand in order to coneeal her test paper from us? The present system used here makes one feel like a cheat whether he is or not. If you raise your eyes from your examination paper- you feel as if some one were going to shout, "Keep your eyes on that examination, and do not move them" One reason an honor system should be installed here is because the students of this Normal School go directly to the younger generation to instruct. them, and one could, ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1926 November 5 - Page 3 ---------- wmm* imt$n^ 111 ^fjvl^^RNOUT POfe SXSKETBALL Gaiiie (Jn ::^fipi^lSe^i:;Pay Store of Former "\ Cheney Contests Hitting the Line WITH SULLY Ray Christman, the big tackle, has been suffering from several reverses.

Cheney Normal met with unexpected opposition in the University of Idaho Frbsh team and succumbed to their attack, 19-0.

Cheney, unable to retaliate in like manner, attempted an aerial attack which al- - , most resulted in scores for the Sav- rs*ges. N. .

Last week a number of girls enjoyed an afternoon of horseback riding, and it is hoped that as many or more will continue to show an interest in this excellent form of recreation: A new stable has been opened up nearer the school' and is equipped with 15 good horses. The horses will be brought to the school at the usual hours on Friday. The games are progressing nicely, a great deal of improvement being shown in technique. Very soon, the athletic field will be dotted with vivid orange and green. Material has been purchased and blazers are being made for each team to distinguish them in the inter-class games. The orange blazers will be, worn by the Sophomores and' you can guess who will wear the green ones. These colors were chosen instead of blue and white, because it was thought that they would be more serviceable and that they would stand out more clearly on the field.

When the season gets under way two teams will be. in the field, one to represent the Normal in inter-scholastic basketball and another to represent the Vikings in the Bellingham City League. The latter will be known as the "Junior Vikings." They will play high school teams in addition to their regular city games. Eight or nine men will be carried on each team. Any club or organized house wishing to play basketball may organize a team and a schedule will be drawn up.

Everett, considered the strongest team on the Sound, has a tie game with Olympia against it, and is favored to defeat Whatcom. However, matters may be mussed up if Everett hands out a licking to Lewis and Clark in the meeting late in the season. Last Saturday witnessed several of the most startling upsets seen in recent years on college gridirons of the country. Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Southern California, considered the three strongest teams in the nation—all went down to defeat in an orgy of blood-spilling. Michigan was completely humbled by a none-too-strong Navy squad, by a 10-0 score. Pennsylvania succumbed 3-0 to a previously defeated Illinois team.

Ruble, "Cat", Guard, Runs Over Seventy Yard for Goal. Seymour is the Outstanding Star of the Contest. A stalwart Nordic fighting ship, manned by eleven sturdy Vikings, bound for the Tri-Normal championship, floundered, and was lost in, a heart-breaking struggle with an unleashed band of Wildcats, and the disfavor of the elements. The Ellensburg Normal Wildcats proved untamable, and after 60 minutes of terrific battle, the Wildcats had succeeded in clawing the Blue and White emblem to shreds and escaped with the booty, the Vikings' championship hopes. Vikings Caught Napping. As has been too often the case, Bellingham awoke to their danger too late. After an' even first quarter, Ellensburg took advantage of a break, recovering Odell's fumble on his own 22-yard line and on the next play sent Peterson skimming around" end for a touchdown. Wanamaker blocked the goal attempt. The Vikings, sensing their danger, brought forth an aerial attack which was advancing the ball deep in Wildcat territory, when Ruble, Ellensburg guard, snagged one of these passes on the 30-yard line and ran for a touchdown.

Miss Rich, director of Training school, spoke on "Teacher Placement" at the regional conference of the department of Classroom Teachers of -the N. E. A., and Washington Class Room Teachers' league. In her speech, Miss Rich stressed the fact that the highest ideal of professional training is that the practitioner shall have the ability and the will to be self-directed. "Why is Industrial Arts," was the subject of Mr. Ruckmick's address which he gave at the session of the Western Washington Association for Industrial Education, held on Thursday. The talk was directed toward establishing a hew method of teaching. Industrial Arts, showing that the course could be used more than it is at present. Mr. Ruckmick pointed out that more opportunity should be given the boy to work out his own ideas, rather than have others' ideas inflicted on him. Mrs. Hess to Sing. Mrs. Rex Hess, known as Catherine Myers when she attended Normal four. years ago, will sing at the Homecoming luncheon tomorrow.

Football is played on a field 300x- 160 feet, by two teams of 11 men each, with an oblong ball. The object of the game is to advance the ball'to the goal line, thus scoring points. Six points are given for a touchdown scored by a team through carrying the ball across the goal; one point by a goal, after a touchdown; three points by a field goal (a drop kick or place kick through the goal posts and across the bar) and 2 points by a safety (scored when a team is forced in back of its goal with the ball in its possession). A game is started from the 40-yard line, when one team kicks the ball and the other, with its men evenly distributed; oyer half the' field, receives it and attempts to advance it towards the ' opposite goal. The teams line up and play begins. Four plays are allowed for team to advance the ball ten yards.-. If successful, four more downs are allowed; if not, the opposing team gets the ball.,The game see-saws back and forth with each team advancing the ball through rushing, kicking, or passing. When the ball is advanced across the goal, points are scored by: the.. offensive team, and another kick-off is made. Thus the game progresses, divided into four 15-minute quarters and two halves, with one minute intermission between quarters and .1.5 minutes between halves. After-..' one hour of playing time, the game is ended, the winning team being that, one which has scored the greatest number of points.

Bellingham is the "town of the month" in the April "Washington-ian", av State magazine of progress, as it is self-termed. Beginning with a huge air illustration,' panoramic of the city, we are led on through pages of complimentary and factual substance which renders a powerful influence -when broadcast over the state. Location, climate, industry, and scenery are equally given prominence throughout the magazine. - —W. S. N. S. The old familiar "quad" derived from the English word "quadrangle" lias long been, the main building layouts of eastern schools. They liave been proved highly efficient, symmetrical, and beautiful. And they are increasing in popularity, for school after school in the east is ordering the quad. Good examples of such may be found at the University of Chicago. Yale University just the other day gave contracts for four of them. Midwestern colleges are pushing then-buildings together, bending in their terraces, and moving their out-of-the- way structures toward a common hub. But it has not i been until of late t h a t western institutions have really taken cognizance of this square. The College of Puget Sound is aiming at the quad idea in their evolutional building program which will run over a period of many years. Washington State college has had the quad for nearly thirty years. The University of Washington has half of a quad centering around her traditional "frosh pond" whereby stand the new library and Physics buildings as bulwarks. Canadian colleges have the foursquare too, especially is this so in eastern Canada. Several quads are in the building on the grounds of the University of British Columbia, "Vancouver. The Normal here has a good-sized quad in the making. Yet so gradual has its development come about that few of us realize that with-one more building to be located just west of "the Knoll" this school would suddenly find itself in possession of one of the finest quadrangles on the Pacific Coast. — W.

HALF HOLIDAY FRIDAY Normal Will Enter a Float in the Parade Representing a Maypole. Miss Skalley Committee Chairman No less than 1066 men competed in intramural sports at Harvard this winter which shows that while more attention may be paid to those men on the varsity teams, they really take a small part in the athletic affairs of the university, after all. A pageant of colorful beauty, Bellingham annual Tulip Festival will be held May 9, 10 and 11. It is an event that has a particular significance to the citizens of the Northwest. The contest for queen and king will close next Monday and the rulers for the festival will be crowned in all the pomp that should be accorded their royal position on Thursday and Friday nights, respectively, at the American Theater. Friday Big Day On Friday morning children from all of the grade schools in the city will stage a' program on Battersby Field, under the leadership of W. L. Cochran, physical director. In the afternoon, the parade, which is the climax of the entire festival, will pass in review before a throng of citizens. This school will have' a half holiday so that students may see this event. Thirteen floats have been entered, three of them from schools in the city. Normal Enters Float The Normal's entry in the parade is in charge of Miss Kathleen Skalley, assisted by Miss Theresa Gunther, Miss Hazel Breakey and Mr. Herbert Ruckmick. The float will be 14 feet wide and 22 feet long surmounted by a 12-foot May Pole. Edna Working, a teacher in the training school will be seated on a throne as queen of the* May. Twelve training school children will weave patterns with the streamers from the pole. The color scheme will be pastel shades of green, rose, yellow and blue. Much work has already been done on the float and committees of students will finish assembling it on Campus day. Besides being in the parade Friday it will be wired so^ as to be used in the electrical parade on Saturday night. o Board Dines at Mr. Sam Ford's New Home DREAM DANCE IS IDEA FEATURING SPRING INFORMAL i The Dance" of Dreams, the | I theme of the outside girls in- j } formal to be given tonight in j f the dining room of Edens Hall, j I is working up nicely under the j i supervision of Catherine | i Morse, chairman of the dance.

Funeral services for Chester Ran-drup, Normal student, who died Sunday as the result of a motorcycle accident at the Lynden fairgrounds, were held Wednesday afternoon at the Bingham Funeral Home. The Executive Board of the Freshman class attended in a body and nine students from the music classes sang in t h e services. The entire assembly stood a few moments in silence at the end of a brief eulogy delivered by President C. H. Fisher in Teusday morning's assembly, to show their respect for their late schoolmate, and the flag was kept at half-mast all day Wednesday. Chester was the son of Mr. and Mrs. J. G. Randrup of this city and had lived all his life in and around Bellingham. He was a member of the Normal School Orchestra and also of the Bellingham Little Symphony. He was eighteen years old and graduated from Fairhaven High School last spring. o Eleven Big Acts Are Scheduled for Viking Vodvil, Monday Night With eleven big acts lined up for the Viking Vodvil Monday night, with the stage settings worked but, and the stage hands all set to ring up the curtain, Randy Oberlatz, manager, declared yesterday that he was satisfied that the show will not only be received enthusiastically, but t h a t it will be pronounced one of the liveliest, most colorful entertainments ever presented in the auditorium. "Of the eleven acts making up the bill," Mr. Oberlatz declared, "there is a wide diversity of entertainment offered. From the more aesthetic musical and dancing numbers, the program runs the gamut of amusement to the most hilarious of light comedy. Close Contest "The judges are going to have a tough time picking out the winner, but you may rest assured that whichever organization gets its name engraved on the cup will have earned it by presenting a real masterpiece, of amateur vodvil artistry." The program includes a carnival act by the Thespians, a beautiful dancing act by the Freshman class, a melodrama from the members of the Drama club, a boys trio in a number of vocal selections, an interpretive pantomime act depicting the mythical background of the Va-nadis Bragi, a college idea including tap dancers and chorus numbers by the Edens Hall girls, a Windmill idea by girls of the McDowell club, a duet skit by Goddard and Keppler, a curtain act by the Philos, a pep band composed of members of the Men's club, and some guaranteed entertainment from faculty members. Souvenir Program As an added inducement to purchasers of reserved seat tickets, a clever souvenir program is being given with each ticket purchased. The -program includes, besides the line-up of the evening's entertainment, a list of the events of Campus day, Tuesday. Frank Locke, stage manager, is bringing his experience into play in working out novel lighting effects, and in assisting the clubs and organizations in completing their stage settings. The cup that is to be awarded the winning organization, was displayed in the assembly. Tuesday by Mr. Oberlatz, and may be seen on display in the Students Co-op.

V O D V I L V I B R A T I O NS T h e Viking Vodvil, with its eleven novel, fascinating, fun-provoking, alluring and altogether entertaining acts comes to us in all its holiday array next Monday. Certainly, it is one of the yearly school functions that best show the coveted "school spirit." The several different clubs, individual actors, classes and musicians constituting this program, have given the majority of their time to make this Vodvil one of the finest ever produced and in-cidently are in line to vie for first place honors as winners of the 1929 Viking Vodvil. "There is a place and time for everything", as the saying goes, and next Monday night, your place will be in the Normal auditorium, either on the stage or in the "ringside seats" viewing the wild men, carnival barkers, natural dancers, tap dancers, seething melodramas, comedians, and all the other types of performers and performances that go to make up the Thespian world. ffl ffl ffl CAMPUS DAY Busy hands, smiling eyes, seems like everyone's gay; On the lawn, we, like Spring, brush drab objects away- And there's never a stranger on our Campus Day— Dear tradition that calls from the past. Campus Days have not always been thus. In fact they are only in the state of infancy, next Friday will be the fourth Campus Day to be staged on this campus. Before the coming of Campus day various forms of Clean Up day and Sneak day relieved the spring hilarity of this season. These annual outbreaks were superseded by the more modern Campus day three years ago. The Klipsun of 1926 reveals the origin of Sneak day at Bellingham. It seems that in the spring of the year 1900 an assembly was placidly getting under way, when suddenly a senior stood up shouting "Come on gang", and left, followed by the rest of his class. From that date until 1928 the Sneak day tradition is lost in obscurity. Mr. Kibbe who is usually referred to in cases involving school history, places the first Sneak day of his recollection in the year 1918. A young man named Holbrook, now superintendent of schools in San Bernardino, California, engineered the 'sneaking' of the upper class in that year. At that time Sneak day was for the upper classmen only. But the envious Frosh soon obtained secret avenues of information, and Sneak day soon developed into a general exodus. If two can't keep a secret, it must have been something like one hundred and fifty times as hard for the graduating class to^ keep theirs. In the spring of 1926 the student body voted to replace the traditional Sneak day with Campus day. crook, robber Like a mystical theater, staging a play, Our stage is a hill in bright colors of May, Our footlights, the sunset that glows 'cross the And all of us—the cast. bay; COMING A T T R A C T I O NS .

What really happened to the hero of Troy was a very different sequence of events than those related by Homer. Erskine's style in "Penople's Man" is not as smooth and polished as that of "Galahad" but his style at its worst is good. It is always easy to read and if these queer books do nothing else they show us a little of their author's trend of thought. Erskine does not reproduce the old Greek heroes but he makes interesting new characters to play on a stage set in Greece. On the ..whole, the book is interesting; Miss Adele Jones, dean of women, has been confined to her home with a slight attack of "flu" since Thursday of last week.

Martin's Rangers Clash With Norsemen Nine This Afternoon VIKINGS OUT TO AVENGE THE TWO DEFEATS LAST YEAR BY RANGERS Cancelled on Account of Rain Two Weeks Ago, the Game Today Has Added Interest to Make It Hot. At last the big day is here! St. Martin's college representatives are here to tangle with the Vikings in a ball game this afternoon on Waldo field at 3, o'clock sharp, or soon after. , The Vikings have long waited for this chance to show the Rangers what the Normal ball squad can do. The meeting of these two teams was first scheduled for the thirteenth of April, but was postponed on account of bad weather. Then the Viking ball schedule was changed. St. Martin's was on the doubtful list of Viking home games. Then Coach Carver opened negotiations with the Collegians to try to get them here on the third of May. Not until Wednesday noon did the coach know for certain . whether they would be here or not. Centralia Cancels Game During the parleying jwith St. Martin's, there was a telegram from Centralia, cancelling the two games with the Junior College there. They were stricken by the loss of several of their men who had to drop school for lack of sufficient funds to carry on. At the time of the receipt of the telegram from Centralia, it looked as if there would be no game for the Norsemen this week. As one of the fellows suggested, the Vikings could not "buy a game", and so it did seem. Finally, Wednesday noon the matter was settled, for this week at least, the Normalites have a ball game for this afternoon. The Vikings have been looking forward to this game today for several weeks, and are all prime for a real battle. The boys have been working hard and are oh their toes and rearing to go. The results of the game last week with the Frosh, go a long way toward pepping up the Norsemen, and should have them in a good frame of mind for the undertaking of this afternoon's task. Vikings Practice Any afternoon between the hours of 3 and 5:30; one-may see the Viking athletes out on Waldo field smacking, the old apple on the-head, throwing it around the diamond and making all sorts of sport of the poor defenseless horsehide. They are found to be merciless in their punishment of the ball while they are at bat, and they are going to make it pretty tough for any opposing pitchers. Even some of the fellows will probably go to bat feeling sorry for the man on the mound. At least they will if they follow out the. precedent they set last week when they went against the southpaw chucker of the Frosh. ^However, the Vikings will not have an easy time, if the Rangers live up to their former reputation, for they are a hard lot to beat. They took the Vikings into camp last year in two games, and they are apt to. do it again. % Since the game is being played on a school day, it is expected that there will.be a good crowd to see the mix, and a real treat is promised the fans.

ALL THROUGH THE GAME LAST SATURDAY, HE WAS BOTHERED WITH A SORE THROAT. NOT UNTIL WEDNESDAY EVENING DID THE MIDGET THIRD SACK-ER COME OUT ON THE FIELD, AND THEN ONLY FOR A LITTLE HITTING PRACTICE. HOWEVER. HE IS EXPECTED TO BE RIGHT UP AND COMING IN THE GAME THIS AFTERNOON. Teddy Clark has been resting for a couple of days with a sore leg, but he claims it is all right by now. Teddy is the lad who pushed out the first Viking home run of ..the season last week. Why don't you hit 'em, Teddy? Rain on Wednesday evening caused the intramural game scheduled for that time to be called off to be played at some future dale. Rain nearly spoiled, the Vikings' chances to defeat the Frosh last Saturday. That would have been the third game that the rain would have spoiled.- WE HOPE THAT THERE IS NO RAIN THIS AFTERNOON. THAT WOULD BE TOO BAD. Thank you, B. H. o Eighteen Plan Trip to Sinclair Island Twelve girls and six members of the faculty have signed up to go on the trip to Sinclair Island next Saturday, May 4. The boat leaves Quackenbush dock at 7 o'clock Saturday morning. All people wishing to go and who have not signed up should do so at once. Those of the faculty who have signed up to go thus far include Arthur Kolstad, Mary E. Rich, Kathleen Skalley, Grace Sullivan, Helen Dozier, and Elsie Wendling. ;—o — Speedball Intra-murals will be played May 6, 8, 13 and 15. Inter-class competition will be held May 20, 22, and 27. The game is progressing remarkably well, and by the time the season is over Miss Dozier says "they will be playing as girls who have played the game for years." No tackling is allowed, as in football, but Dot Sollie persists in doing it. The first games played have ended in ties, most of the scores being made by touchdowns as that is a new scoring method, of the girls. ————o son who made some nice catches in the garden, and collected a two-bagger. The s game was featured by a number of spectacular bootings Crack! And the game was on. Odell's double over the right field fence was the signal for the Viking attack on the U. of W. Frosh hurling staff that resulted in a nine to four victory for the Norsemen, last Saturday afternoon on Waldo field. '"••. - Following Odell the next two men made outs, then Teddy Clarke walked up to the platter and very impolitely smacked one of Daw-lings' offerings for a homer, bringing in the first two runs of the game in the first inning. The game was the first one of this season for the Vikings, who have been prevented from playing because of inclement weather conditions. The two previous Saturdays were rain-drenched days and forced the Viking coaches to call off the games scheduled for those days. Again last Saturday it looked as if the Norsemen would have another wet day for their mix with the Yearlings, as it was raining in the morning. But it cleared up later in the day and by time for the game the weather was pretty good except for a cold wind that made it hard for anyone to stand or sit and watch the contest, and was a little hard on the hurlers. Clarke Hits Homer Following Clarke's homer that cleared the bags in the first inning, the rest of the Viking nine faced the Frosh twirler, before the side was retired. For the Frosh, the second inning went the same way as the first, as did the third inning, Thorlakson allowing only one hit, and no one getting past first base during those three frames. In the fourth frame the visitors garnered three hits and scored two runs. The Vikings retaliated in their half of the inning with three more tallies, which made the score stand at 6 to 2 in Normal's favor. The fifth inning saw the Yearlings score one more marker, when Thorlakson issued two free trips to first, then Thorsen muffed Waltz's ground ball to let the bases fill up. To climax the plays, Hamilton made a fizzle of Nelson's drive to left field and the run crossed the plate. The Vikings failed to score in their half. Frosh Fail to Score In the sixth frame the visitors failed to get to Thorlakson for more than one lone single, while in their half the Normalites garnered two more runs to set the score at 8 to 3. In the seventh the Frosh again failed to score, and the Norsemen chalked up their last run of .the conflict. The eighth frame saw the ---------- Northwest Viking - 1929 May 3 - Page 4 ---------- WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM,' WASHINGTON Campus Day Tuesday Is to be Eventful (Continued from Page One) Mrs. Lucia Ames Mead is from the National Counsel of the Prevention of War. TEACHERS RECEIVE HELP "The Prevention of War" was the topic of a lecture delivered in as-r sembly, Tuesday morning, April 30, by Mre. Lucia Ames Mead, of the National Counsel for the Prevention of War. MK. MeSid gave an enlightening discussion of t h e indirect causes of war between nations. She said war -betwen nations must end and that will be accomplished when the people develop the right attitude t o ward discussion and a friendly cooperation with national police. Teachers Urged Upon the prospective teachers, Mrs. Meade urged the responsibility to prepare the children of the public schools to think in terms of comparison of one nation with another. Arithmetic and geography are especially adaptable. Composition also can be taught in such a ; way as to develop power of discrimination and judgment. Students Helped .Blanks were distributed among - the students who wished help. They will receive literature and suggestions for teaching which will be useful hi carrying out the idea formost in their minds. . o MISS CUMMINS TELLS CLASS OF MEETING gram as "The Comedy of Errors." Faculty Baseball Arid the gentlemen faculty members will pit their reputation and pride. against that of a team of young men students. Mr. Herbert C. Ruckmick is said to be t h e dark horse on the faculty line-up, and "Generalissimo" Arthur Kolstad is the champion batheaver, having through his stick from home to third to put a man "out" (the third baseman was knocked "cold"). .Relay races and a tug-of-war will be the other high-lights of the afternoon's entertainment. A good orchestra and "oodles" of fun are promised by Joe Hermsen7 major in charge of the All-School Dance to be given at t h e Armory as a pleasant ending to the Bel-lingham State Normal School Campus Day celebration. o Social Science Club Plans Trip Saturday The Social Science Club boat trip to Olga is t he first trip of t h e kind taken by any club yet this season.

Cummins gave her '' classes a report of t he meeting held last Saturday, in Seattle, of t he state organization of American Association of University Women. The main address was given by Dr. Herbert E. Gowen, professor of Oriental History and Oriental Languages at the University of Washington, who has just returned, from a trip to t h e Orient. Dr. Gowen stressed the courtesy of Orientals ; in receiving Westerners and contrasted this with our recent treatment of Tagore, which he considered deplorable. He said that it is impossible to isolate ourselves in an economic or political way, and gave as an illustration the fact that Charlie Chaplin was the best known American in Aisa. He went on to say that in a democracy people must be educated in foreign affairs or there would be much bungling and misunderstanding on the part of the government. ••••••• i " Cummins Leader The afternoon was given over to round-table discussions, Miss Cummins being the leader for the International Relations group, in which it was brought out that there were a great many prejudices existing concerning international relations due to the fact that people are not informed and do not know how to obtain information. Those attending from the Norma] were: Miss Nora B. Cummins, Miss Ruth G. Strickland, Miss Emma Erickson, Miss Anna J. Beiswinger, and Mrs. Pelagius Williams, who is the president of the University Women's organization. . • o Winther Sees Ibsen s Play, "The Wild Duck" Efteland Wins First Honors in Extempo CALENDAR FRIDAY—May 3.

This company aims to put on a variety of plays each year, and the next will be of special interest because it was {written by a Seattle man, Garland Ethel, an instructor in English at : the University of Washington.

Joy Efteland upheld the side of woman with a great amount of zeal and is conceded to have proved her point by t he way in which the audience enhtusiastically applauded her. Women need not be educated like men in technical vocations, but the speaker claimed that a liberal education if worthwhile for a man is just as worthwhile for a woman. She used Biblical incidents to prove her point, that woman w,as created out of the side of man to be his companion and equal. Miss Efteland will have her name engraved on the silver loving cup and its possession for one year as a result of the winning of the contest.

Mr. Ed Johnson and Miss Ruth Sargent of Seattle were the dinner guests of Viola Betts, Sunday. Mr. Joseph Boschert of Snoqual-mie, was a guest of Carol Howe during the week-end. At nine o'clock last Friday morning the children of the fifth grade demonstrated their experiments in chemistry before the pupils assembled in t h e auditorium. One of t he first of the interesting things, were explanations in really scientific terms, the making of red, green, purple, and printers ink. Building Saved The fire extinguisher is no longer a mystery to these wide awake youngsters. They saved the "Sun-kist Building" from destruction by fire, to prove to their own satisfaction it's worth. With the aid of charts, a little girl explained the principle and method of operating this helpful .device. The whitewash of Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer, is a cheap material for beautifying and disinfecting, according to two boys who have been investigating it. If you are prepared to study chemistry, you should understand how glass can be bent, broken, and stretched. The flame used is a source of interesting conjecture until it is looked up in the chemistry book and found to be in three distinct divisions, each performing a special function. ** . The sparklers were very pretty and made a spectacular climax to the hour's entertainment. o EDENS HALL Katherine Reese", who was graduated from this school in 1928, and who is now teaching in Anacortes, and Blanche Hamilton of Auburn, who also is a graduate of this school, were guests of Buelah Burns at Edens Hall, Saturday.

Then the faculty! That fierce body so "terrorizing to a" newcomer, to be met informally and warmed up to, ere classes are really started. Arid there is the same chance for the facility to get a "look in" a t the new students and "size them up", infor-; mally betting as to which are "X's"; and which are "Y's". There is. something about a reception that gives one a comfortable feeling of being important. In spite of the formality the word may connote, the annual Y. W. C.

John Philip Sousa and his Band acknowledged as the supreme organization of its kind in America, will appear in Bellingham next Wednesday, October 5, in one of the outstanding musical events of the year. The Band's two concerts will be given in the Tulip Auditorium, Comercial and Lottie streets, in the afternoon at 2:30, and in the evening at 8:00. The admission for Normal students and the general public will be fifty cents for the afternoon concert, and seventy-five cents "for the. evening. This is the thirty-fifth annual tour of Sousa and his Band, and has been one of the seventy-two-year-old reader's greatest triumphs. Everywhere the band has l)een unusually well received by capacity crowds, eager to hear the world-famous leader and his band. In Chicago, Sousa . appeared before four audiences of five thousand people each^ and was encored repeatedly.

Football is in thejair at Belling- Hnfam.' The season opens next week. Why not a pep band for Bellingham Normal? In the past there has been the cry that we lack pep, enthusiasm for the school teams.

Holmes emphasizes the new. meaning of supervised instruction in her article, "The Supervision of Instruction," in the. May number of Education. „ She says, "Supervision has too long meant narrow-minded • dictation and strait-jacketed response. Supervision has been based upon domination rather than inspiring leadership; upon fearful compliance, rather than whole-heartedcgroup co-operation." In its broader meaning supervision is "improvement of instruction through training, inspiring ,and helping .teachers in service." Charles A. Wagner, superintendent of schools, Chester, Pennsylvania, said, - r- "Good supervision; inspires the best teacher—supervision helps the new teacher most quickly into harmony with the system—supervision helps the poorly trained teacher to become a better teacher, improving as rapidly as the teacher will exert herself." Do you like the Blue Books ? Why not give the ones who prepared, it a good hand? Bob Fisher was in charge and put in a lot of work on it. He did a fine job. Asa Sherwood helped him. Let's give credit,where credit is due. Step up and say "Congratulations, and thanks for giving us such a fine book.*' '-'• ;.

Perhaps,'*.. in the presence foflyeuth,; it Was a ruse to counteract ithe advances of Father Timei: Regional Supervision Best In this connection Miss Holmes declares it is necessary to consider the question: Who is to be the supervisor? Is it to be the school superintendent, the principal, the sup-ervisor. of special subjects, or the regional supervisor? She gives the opinion of noted educators concerning; all four of the above methods and then "sums it up by saying: "And so we find that the regional supervisor has proved the most successful. This type of 'helping teacher' who has all, of if this makes too large a unit, part of the schools or grades in a system in her charge, studies and understands all the conditions pertaining to those schools or grades, therefore can help the teachers to do better, more efficient work, and aid them in solving their numerous problems." Miss Holmes says further: "The supervisor is one who works with appreciation for, and in sympathy with, the efforts of the teacher; who brings new ideas, higher ideals, inspiration, and new life to the teaching profession; who criticizes constructively; who brings about co-operation in the system; who is authoritative; who has a regular schedule for visiting; and who is able in conference to offer advice and suggestions." It must be borne in mind that the most important work of the supervisor is to continue the education of the teaclu er beyond her normal school or col-- lege training and to bring to her attention improvements in Tnethods and technique of education." Cut Down Routine Another point that the writer thinks deserves special mention is the fact that the supervisor should not be hindered by too many details of office routine,^ nor by administrative duties, as it is only by .clear thinking and planning that she can do the most efficient work. ^"Supervision then, need not and -will not be" a failure^ if uniformity, * n d t h e insPectional and mechani-caKaspeets are given less attention and if, in their places, supervision that is characterized by unit^r, cooperation, and inspiration is ^substituted.'^' /" •~i-- ^"j^hderfulj^pp^rtuni^ wire' freshmen who'-arfeVeafnihg;their ;way::;tardugji;::s^ Here's a chance.to clean up big! : ; iThe coming football season will be a big one,; an^:COM buying up Jal^ Many energetic young men in -for-; n)er; years''.-,have been ablef to Veat; sometimes as often as twwe a :dayj and also. keep a 'generous' supply of Star '.-'Plug on hand by foiling "up the old bean shooter and going in search of the sloppy little animals. - Jv v .'••I'-" ' ' ' - # ' • » '•• •'*'.••-''* ; •'•'•- Waxmngl Pork hunters, regardless of the gauge or range ofr their bean shooters or hat pins, rriiist have a genuine Hog Hunting License in their possession at all times.

The schedule calls games opening m for four home on the home lot : gt; October 9 with the West Seattle :;Athletic club as opponents. This ^outfit is composed of former high :. school and college players. They are doped to give the Vikings all the opposition they can handle. The Se-aitleites are coached by Ralph "Pop" 'Reed, formerly assistant'under .Coach .Davis here in 1924. He has recently been line coach for Franklin High of Seattle. The game is to be in the ^nature of a practice game but according to indications will not be ! an easy contest. First Tri-Normal Game. ^ The following week the squad journeys to Cheney for the first of the , Tri-Normal titular series. This is 1 the hardest game,called for on Sam ' Carver's proteges because of its im- • .portance and coming so early in the season. The Savages always get an early, start on Bellingham, due to the ' -fact that the Fall term opens before ' t h e middle of September. . They are handicapped by the loss of lettermen. rA new coach also adds to their difficulties. Last week they were de-„ feated l gt;y Whitman 27 to nil. With : three games before the 15th of Oc- •}tpber they will be in better condi- ; tion than the locals with the added .advantage of playing at home. • Last year Bellingham defeated Cheney 9 to 3, here. - ~ : ; October 22 again sees Bellingham again on the road journeying, to Se- X attle to meet the University Frosh: YTwo years ago the Viks came out ^]ahead 13 to 6, and last year played /'a scoreless tie. The Frosh strength '?' is of course unknown but they are /.always counted on for a hard game. A triumph over the yearlings is cdn-vvsidered" a signal event in the Viking '[camp.

Three snapperbacks' have answered this year's call, and they are all centers of high calibre, and; since there is only one on a football team, the question is, "Who's going to have that job?" Don Stickney and Ed Hyde, both last year's lettermen, and Frank Geri, former Fairhaven High School, and U. of W. Frosh man, are out for the pivot position. Oscar Thorsen and "Swede" Anderson seem to be the best looking men in the wing positions, judging from the past experience of the two men. Both men have played on Viking football teams before, Anderson being a two-year letterman, and Thorsen a one stripe bearer. Dean Edmundson, last year's wing letterman, is also out, but, for a tackle position... In last Tuesday's signal practice, he received the call at guard. » . » • • * . • At the time of this writing, indications point toward' a Yankee-Pirate World Series.

This time Dempsey was not outclassed very much to speak of,, and because he is the greatest drawing card in the ring today, Tex Rickard may match these two men again. The last fight which was fought September 22, had a total of 150,000 people present who paid $2,800,000 to witness it... This is the largest crowd ever to assemble and^pay such a price to witness a sports spectacle of any kind. . Harold'_, Keeney, former assistant coach at tlie Bellingham Normal, arid now gi-id tutor at Ariacortes High School, led his- prodigees over the. first ganie against Oak Harbor successfully, defeating them 12 to 5. Mt. Vernon/High School is strorig this year, having defeated Oak Harbor 20 to 6, and snowing Fairhaven under 25 to 7. Mt. Vernon must yet face the acid test. Cheney Do wned in Initial Mix of 1927 Season . Cheney Normal failed to impress as a football team of high merit, last Saturday, when they fell before Whitman in their opening tilt, 27 to 0. As this is an early season game, much cannot be counted in figuring what their strength •• is, and their possibilities for the "Tri-Normal championship. Slow Offense. Cheney's main difficulty lay in their slow offense and weak ends on the defense. Whitman's touchdowns came as the result of, forward passes and end runs, Whitman being strong in these departments, while Cheney on.the other hand was weak against these two points of attack. Osborne, Cheney kicker, outpointed Whitman consistently, thereby saving the score from being larger. Last year Whitman defeated Cheney by the sanie score, and provided that Whitman and Cheney are of the same strength as last season^ and the Bellingham Normal is ,as good as last year, the Vikings should defeat Cheney again .this year. This was' only an early season contest;' and much may culminate from the Cheney squad before the Vikings meet thetri. gt; ' - - ' • - : / . • • - • • • • • '-• " o - - ^ - - .

Should previous games work put just right the Tri- Normal championship may hinge on this big battlev This game will be the climax of the season, and by that time the team will be in the best of shape, ready for anything the Wildcats may have in store. Roy Sandburg, El-lensbury Coach, always puts a scrappy team on the field, fighting to;the end.

"A sport for- every girl? is the slogan of the Women's Athletic Association and P. E. instructors for the fall quarter. Hockey, soccer, volleyball, hiking, swimming, tennis, ring tennis, horseshoes, and hockey golf are offered for the entire quarter with the woinen's physical education coaches, Miss : Bertha Keller, Miss Beth Bowen, and Miss Lillian (George, in charge. Turnouts for every sport will be scheduled for four b'clock, afternoons. On Monday and Wednesday comes hockey and volleyball. Volleyball turnout will be held in the big gym "under Miss Bowen and" Miss Keller. Hockey practice is on Waldo Field, coached by Miss Bowen, on Tuesday and ' Thursday soccer and volleyball are offered*. Miss Keller will coach this : sport. This fall marks the second season of: soccer at Bellingham Normal. A - large turnout of candidates for the teams is expected for this, since the game was learned by many of last year's freshmen in gym classes. On Monday tournaments in tennis, ring tennis, horseshoes and hockey golf will be run off. -These will be individual, with no class or intramural team organization.- For all other sports, however," teams will be formed, giving every girl an opportunity to participate. With the Alport schedule arranged as it is, each girl will be able to turn out for two separate sports and further her chances of winning a sweater. To win a "W" sweater now, a girl must . be a member of eight class teams. -Special recreational activities for -"small- groups will also' be given in the form of riding classes on Wednesday, with Miss Keller; hiking on Saturday, with Miss Lillian George /and Viola Searing in charge, and- a special evening recreational swimming class. Definite plans have not been completed for this as yet, but girls interested are asked to watch the official bulletin for further notice. .

Judging from press reports, he will have quite a task to develop a winning football squad as the Savages seem to be faced with a deficiency of lettermen. Woodward has held physical training- posts of various kinds throughout the country for the past twenty years. Before accepting the Cheney bid he was director of athletics and physical work in the Tacoma school system. He goes to the east siders well recommended and apparently well qualified to carry on the work there. 1927 GRID SEASON OPENED THROUGHOUT COUNTRY LAST WEEK College Teams of Note Begin Football Activities. Stanford and Washington State in Hard Game Saturday last saw the lid of ficially removed from the 1927 football season and game results from all parts of the country have set the championship bee buzzing again. Several'close games were played on the Pacific Coast but no one succeeded in upsetting the favorites. W. S. C. held to a 6-6 tie by Mt. St. Charles of Helena Montana, furnished the biggest surprise. The Staters showed the results of the short practice season before the contest. They are still doped as one of the strongest Coast teams. Stanford barely nosed out the Olympic club 7-6, being saved from defeat only by the final gun. The Olympic Club with an outfit consisting of ex-college stars, furnished as much opposition as the Cards cared to handle.

At the beginning of the Spring quarter, a- complete change will be made in giving..out.results of test grades in the different classes. The .Research Bureau has been working out a new system whereby student test grades will be more private. The present method of posting charts upon which are given the distributions of the aptitude rating and the scores on the classroom tests allows anyone knowing the assigned number of any student to readily discover the aptitude rating and the test grade of that student. It has been brought to the attention of the Research Bureau that certain students, do not wish to have their aptitude rating and test grades known by other students. The faculty believes that it is the right of any student to consider his aptitude rating and test scores as confidential information. To Begin in Spring In accord with this policy a new method of distributing grades will be tried out during the spring quarter. Each student will be given a card having on it his assigned number and classroom test score. A distribution of the scores and corresponding grades will be posted in order that students may discover the grade equivalent of the scores which they receive. A distribution of the aptitude ratings of the students in the class may also be posted. Will Allow Comparison This will allow the comparison of the number of "A" grades on the classroom test with the number of "A" aptitude ratings in the class, the number of "B" grades with the number of "B" aptitude ratings, etc. If this method of distributing grades proves satisfactory during the spring quarter, it will most likely be continued. / N o ANNOUNCEMENT MADE OF OLIVE GUNDERSON'S MARRIAGE THIS SPRING RIVAL CLUBS TO JOIN HAr)JDS IN PARTY THIS EVENING IN BIG GYM The announcement of the engagement of Miss Olive Gunderson to Mr. Alfred Halvorsen was made at a delightful party given Wednesday night at the home of Miss Margaret McKinnon, 2316 Broadway.

Bridge provided the diversion of the evening and five tables were in play. The room was artistically arranged, carrying out a spring motif with beautiful decorations -of pink rosebuds and pussy willows. Miss Gunderson is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. J. Gunderson, of East Stanwood, is a' graduate of Normal school, and has been recorder here for some time, but expects to resign her position before her marriage.

FIRST ON SCHEDULE Of FOREIGN PLAYS Drama Club to Begin Repertoire of International . Interest with Realistic Comedy of Modern Life. PLAY BY IRISH AUTHOR New Policy Will Relieve Sameness of Club Presentations Caused by Run on American Productions. President C. H. Fisher is leaving on Sunday for a trip East to attend national educational meetings which will be in session at Atlantic City. The first meeting he will attend is that of the American Association of Teachers Colleges and Normal Schools. Following this meeting will occur the National Superintendence and other affiliated educational meetings. All national educational organizations have their meetings at the same time. These meetings afford opportunity to keep in touch with the educational leaders and movements of the country. Goes to Washington Following the meeting at Atlantic City, he will attend a meeting at Washington, D. C, of the White House Conference on Child Health and Protection to which he was appointed by Ray Lyman Wilbur, United States Secretary of the Interior. Members of the Conference will probably be given an opportunity to meet President Hoover. _ o SPECIAL BROADCAST PLANNED TO CONTINUE Although recent attempts to get a good reception of the School of the Air broadchasts over the National Broadcasting System have been rather unsuccessful, the people in charge here are still trying to bring about a better one. They are trying out different machines and apparatus in the hopes of soon being able to present these programs to the children of the training school, as each of the programs is filled with interesting and educational things. With the production in March, of the play, "The Whiteheaded Boy", the Drama club will be carrying out their comparatively new policy of introducing plays of international character. Heretofore there had been a run on American drama, there was too much sameness, and the club felt the need of enlarging their scope of work and production. So last summer they broke away from the conventional by producing a play of the international group,' Capek's R. U. R., an industrial satire of mechanical aid introducing the robot. "The Whiteheaded Boy", a comedy of modern Irish home life, is a popular member of this international group and was written by Lennox Robinson—in fact the play was-written by an Irishman, of the Irish, and for the Irish. Nevertheless, it is interesting to Americans, English, French—any nationality, because it is full of human appeal. It is a play of the people and any individual can see in it the inner workings of his own life, the emotions depicted there, the love, selfishness, and want, all could happen to the most ordinary person. Olsen Plays Irish A short time ago the Moroni Olsen players presented "Autumn Fire", by T. C. Murray. This was of Irish life and the substantiated middle class of people, but it was a serious play, almost tragic. Now the "Whiteheaded Boy" comes along picturing the same class of Irish, but it gives the comic side^of life. It is written in a spirit of rollicking fun, there is not a harsh note, and it gives a delightful series of family quarrels over love, money, courtship, and marriage. It is intensely human. Another characteristic is its genuine realism. The play is not theatrical and the audience is conscious of beholding the interplay of life in the average family. Spanish Play Next The club is considering the presentation of a Spanish drama as their next production. The play is "The Women Have Their Way", by Sierra, and is one of the international group. Several seasons' ago the Drama club presented Lady Gregory's "Spreading the News" and Yeats' "Hour Glass", both of which came under the new policy of breaking away from American plays. Little Symphony Gives An Excellent * * * FINE INTERPRETATION SHOWS GOOD DIRECTION Performance in Concert on Tuesday The second concert presented by the Bellingham Little Symphony last Tuesday night was an excellent performance, well received, and prAof of the remarkable progress the Symphony has made since its organization. , A great deal of credit goes to Mr. Harold B. Smith, whose fine direction and judicious handling of the players enabled them to bring out such a volume of real, systematically developed music. Their interpretation of the old masters displayed their own marked ability .and the training which is developed alone through the patient leadership of the director. The music as a whole was finely wrought, sincere, and beautifully presented. The concert opened with the majestic and swelling tones of Weber's Overture "Der Frieschutz, followed by the Symphony in B Minor, by Schubert. In this number there was a characteristic melody, ever present which was caught up and played SEVENTH GRADE CLASS IN .ENGLISH PRESENTS v DRAMA IN FIVE ACTS "The Courtship of Miles Stand-ish", presented in play form by the seventh grade English class under Miss Audrey Packham, was given in the training school assembly this morning. The actors were in colonial costume, which added color to.the production. The class has studied the poem written by Longfellow, in the English class, and made it into the play themselves. Student groups of two or three, worked out the different acts and then the class as a,whole put the acts together to give a unified appearance. Having the play itself completed, the class chose the different students for the different parts, and began work under the coaching of Margaret Solum, student teacher. . Seven Students Act The play has been made up into five acts with two or three scenes under the different acts. Vincent Bochnak took the part of Miles Standish; Kathryn Norris played John Alden; Priscilla was taken by Mary Frazier; Madame Brewster, Carol Hughes; Indian, Eva Curl; Ship Captain, Gordon Downes, and Minister-was Alburna Stansell. The play was well finished in word pronunciation and acting was equally good. The cast deserves much credit for its successful production of the play.

Finley Arden Benthien Jack Greaves Joe Hermsen REPORTERS Myrna Thompson Marion Marchand Hazel Lehman Wave Lampman Martin Jackson Bob Walters Kermit Smith BETTER TEXT BOOKS, SAYS EDUCATOR The following comment on our present educational system is by Will Durant, noted teacher, author and philosopher, and is of especial interest to Normal School people. "Our educational system in general has made as much progress as any reasonable man could look for in less than a hundred years. "We have in most cases a material equipment unequaled anywhere. But we have spent too much of our money and lavished too many endowments on buildings, and allotted too little of our funds to raising the remuneration, and thereby the standards, of the teachers. "It is ridiculous to find departmental heads in great institutions who receive $60 a week, while every tradesman in the town makes twice as much. The first step to a better educational system, then, is better pay for the teaching staff, from substitutes to presidents. "I. think the second step would be better textbooks. I have looked at some that are being used in the high schools, and they are so dull, they present their material with such little skill and humanity, that no one would read them except under compulsion. "I suspect there is a goodly mixture of politics in the selection of these books. We should engage the finest scholars and best writers in the country to make new texts that will be alive with the pleasures of knowledge;. "Finally, I would like to see the complete abandonment of Latin and Greek in our high schools and colleges, except for those who wish to specialize in these languages; and I would transfer the time heretofore devoted to these useless requirements (relics of the time when there were few translations, and Latin was a necessary language for scientific intercourse) to teaching the student the civilization of Greece and Rome— the statesmanship, the philosophy, the poetry and the art of these peoples. "Nothing would so help the student to become mentally mature, to see his own civilization and problems in perspective. Perhaps by such means we could turn out not mere intellectual flappers, but educated men." By E. B. F. Since this week contains Lincoln's birthday anniversary, it seems only fitting to quote Lincoln's own statement of his ambition., in.. life... He made the statement at the age of twenty-three, when he announced his candidacy for the Illinois legislature: "Every man is said to have, his peculiar ambition... Whether it be true "or not, I can say, for one, that I have no other so great as that of being esteemed by my fellow- men, by rendering myself worthy of their esteem... How., far.. I shall succeed in gratifying this ambition is^yet to be developed". Whether or not he knew before he died how well he had succeeded no one will .ever know, but certainly he knew he had risen from an obscure backwoodsman to be chosen by the people as the supreme ruler of the land... But even superior to that is the honored place he has held in the hearts of the American people, and he certainly succeeded in what he set out to do, to be truly esteemed by his fellow-men". HEY—YOUSE! "All youse freshies better sort a amble down to de bowery tomorry if youse knows whats good for youse. We's havin' a plenty fiery time in de Limehouse distric' an' as a word o warnin', if youse guys or dames put on any fancy viggins, sa gonna be pretty unhappy for some one. I might . add that youse dames who knows any bozo in the upper classes woh might wanna come—ask 'em—but, as a 'nother word o warnin' youse better make' em wear duds such as we- wear—we ain't hankerin for any swells down here to spoil our hop." Signed—Limy Pete. We print this vulgar draft simply because we have a sense of justice and we should nof wish any of our Freshmen to be "unhappy". Probably our Freshmen can read between the lines and we hope for their own good, that they will be out Saturday in full gas-house attire at the bowery (which we suspicion is located in the big gym). We also surmise from the appelation, "Bozo", that any man in the school may attend this affair if he .wears the bowery district dress.

Down along Chuckanut Drive the pussywillows are out in the gardens and snowdrops are lifting their dainty white heads, sure signs that spring is on the way. "* * * * It has been said by one who ought to know that most people who go insane have no sense of humor. So, if you haven't one, cultivate it. * * * * Speaking of humor, a friend was recently in an auto accident. Pick ing herself up again she looked around to see Mr. Hollingsworth and Mr. Harlow, both funeral directors, standing beside her... But seeing the humor of the situation, she asked, "Where's Homer Mark"? And they replied, "I guess he hasn't arrived here yet". That ought to be positive proof of a sense of humor, if it can function in a situation like that. * S * * We also find this quotation in a recent paper: "Wholesale laughter is as great a purifier and disinfectant in the mental world as sunshine is in the physical". * * * * The failure of religion to adequately meet the neds of life is admitted by Thomas H. Whelpley, the taxi-driving pastor of New York, in the following words: "Men are not fools... Discouraged., and disgusted with religious bigotry, inter-denominational strife, and stupid sermonizing, they have gone their way. And have lost their way. They have gone so far afield that we who are supposed to be their shepherds can no longer hear their 'cries. It was not until I abandoned the quiet pulpit, the stained-glass windows and glittering brasses, to follow my people where they have gone that I learned the truth about them. It was difficult, disillusioning, and perhaps unorthodox, but it was worth it". That even one pastor this (and there are many" more) is a' hopeful sign. They are getting away from "other-worldiness", too. J. Sherman Wallace, editor Of Young People, says that the Christian of today is not trying to get to heaven; he is trying to bring heaven to earth. "This", he says, "will mean a world-wide civilization in which every person will wish for every other person every chance and every good thing and every virtue that he wishes for his brother. Then politics will be clean, government will be free from graft, and nations will live together in peace".

Despite the visitors' size ami ability, the Vikings made them fight 'hard in checking, and for every point that they scored. At mo time in either contest were t h e winners able to coast and take things easy, for the Carverites were ever threatening. Vikings Fought Hara According to previous • scores of "Tri-Normal games, the Vikings were not conceded to have even a chance of keeping the^ score down, but they fought hard, and played better ball t h a n they Tiave all season. I n t h e first game, the Wildcats jumped into a 3-point lead, but Thorsen, Rprk, and TDixon changed things with 5 points scored among them. Ellensburg then slowly raised t h e score in their advantage t o 11-6. -Just before the half ended, the losers •rallied and brought the score Within one point of that of the visitors. Used Other System lEllensTjurg started another system -of offense in the last half of the igame. They were able to get most of the center tip-offs, and would t h e n get into a stall resembling formation. The Blue-clad boys would Jrave to spread out to break it up, and then the Wildcats would start a fast, convincing offense. This was the start of some sure, slow scoring. The locals fought hard, and pressed the winners, but couldn't cope with that offense. The Vikings did manage to get within six points of their rivals, but soon fell farther behind. The winners checked the Vikings closer than any team has this season, forcing most shots to be taken while they were covered. Second Game : The second game started off poorly for the Sehome team. They resorted to foul shots for most of their points in the first half. The checking was still* closer than in the first game, and hardly a set shot was taken. The score at the • rest period stood 17-7 in favor of Ellens-burg. ;. Bellingham started the second half playing inspired ball. For the first time in the series they really had the Ellensburg hoopsters covering up, trying to stop a dangerous rally. Two foul shots, two field goals, and the score stood 18-13. Each team scored a basket, but the winners broke up the rally by several long shots. Prom then on they Were never headed. The Tri-Normal standings ai-e as follows: W. EHensburg 6 Bellinghaan 4 Cheney ..„ 0 I n Tuesday's preuminary, Jayvees defeated the Super-Varsity 22-21. Both teams were out for victory over their rivals. The evident rivalry delighted the fans, which brought out much rooting. The game was very close and went two over-time periods. At the end of the regular playing time it stood at 17-all. The Jayvees sunk two baskets, but their lead was shortlived as the Supers repeated those two baskets through their hoop. In the overtime period, Eacrett sunk a foul, and the game went to. the Jayvees. Only one game was scheduled, but owing to the keen rivalry and the doubts of the Supers that they are the inferior there will be another game in the near future. ./In. Wednesday's prelim, the Roland Wreckers lost to the Blaine town team, 45-32. .Helen Williams has succeeded Sue McMillan as basketball manager. Miss McMlllin had to give up the management of the sport because of conflict, but Miss Williams has taken over the job with a speedy reaction and has everything well lined up for the rest of the season. —.—__o .— INTRAMURAL LEAGUE DRAWING TO CLOSE Alley Cats and Hustlers on Top of League as Teams Fight Hard to Win Championship. Women's Has Been Challenged Pet. 1.000 .500 .000 the Competition is growing keener and games are becoming much more interesting as the end of the intramural basketball contest approaches. The two games last Tuesday afternoon left the Alley Cats and the Hustlers standing highest in the field. Both games were hard fought and ended with close scores. The first game, between the Men's club and the Hustlers, was won by the sinking of some extremely long (and maybe lucky shots by Bushby. Both teams were noticeably careless in checking, so the fact that the score was not particularly high must be laid to the peculiar difficulty that the opposing forwards had in locating the basket. Although "Pop" Gunn, pride of the Men's club team, merely devoted himself to liis usual steady brand of basketball, he seemed in some way to attract by far the greatest share of the cheering. The game between the Co-op and the Alley Cats was a trifle slow. Although the teams were evenly matched, there seemed to be a lot of snap lacking in their play. The Co-op team was in the lead until the last few minutes of play, when Kirk and Hermsen of the Alley Cats managed to slip in a few rounders to set their side of the score highest.

Alice Erickson spent the weekend at her home in Falls City. Mildred Anderson also spent the week-end at her home in Lynden. The International Relations club held an interesting meeting last Friday at the home of Phil Davis, upon the, invitation of his mother, who is a returned teacher from the Morton-Lane Girl's school in Moul-mein," Burma. During the early part of the evening Mrs. Davis entertained the club with her stories of Burma and her interesting collection of Burmese clothing, embroidery, lacquer work, and carving. On the wall, hung a tiger's skin, and over the back of a chair was draped a leopard's skin. Quite appropriately Miss t Mooney's letter which she read to the club contained a description of a tiger hunt as well as a description of a wedding in India. Club Studies Russia In line with the topic decided upon for study this quarter, most of the program was made up of re- Waffle i ports concerning Russia. David Cole talked on "Russia Marks Time" from the Saturday Evening Post, it being the impressions of a "journalist Americansky', as the Russians put it, while in the land of the Soviets. -Following this, Kenneth Bullard gave a report on the new book by Maurice Hindus, "Humanity Uprooted", as reviewed by The Nation in its February number. Some very interesting questions were raised by it, which we hope Mr. Hindus will answer in more detail when he lectures here. As a closing number, Alice Babcock brought the February number of "Asia" t6 the club and reviewed the first of a series of articles Mr. Hindus is writing for that magazine. "A Pilgrimage to the Old Home", which describes the changes which have taken place in Mr. Hindus' native village in Russia during five years. i Bellingham Bay Improvement Co.

BY CUTTING DOWN THE AMOUNT OP HOME WORK TO BE DONE BY PUPILS, THE NEW YORK PUBLIC SCHOOLS HAVE FURNISHED SOMEONE WITH THE PROBLEM OP FURNISHING SOMETHING FOR THESE PUPILS TO DO DURING THEIR EXTRA LEISURE HOURS. W. S. N. S. Fifty years hence a student at the University of North Carolina will open a hermetically sealed tin box in the University Library and take out a Montgomery Ward catalogue of 1915 and compare the prices of articles listed therein with those of the 1965 edition, if that company still exists. He will then write a thesis on the change represented by the comparisons, place it in the tin box with the two catalogues and seal it up again. Another student will .repeat the procedure in the year 2015. These are strange provisions, but they are the doings of a former president of the very institution. The late Dr. Kemp Plummer Battle, who was head of the U. of N. C. for over fifteen years, made this bequest to the North Carolina Historical Society; and his numerous grandchildren, have consented to see to it that the students writing the theses will be paid fifty dollars apiece for, their labor. Failure to obtain necessary funds to carry on their junior colleges, Mount Vernon and Centralia are at present foraging for adequate sums. And in spite of little or no state aid this phase of education will not be stinted if the people of those sections have anything to say about it. -W. S. N. S.

MUSICAL PROGRAM Jean Philippi and Other Pupils of Edith R. Strange Will Give Recital in Friday's Assembly. The Westminster Glee singers will present a varied and unique program of accompanied part-singing in next Tuesdays assembly. These world-famous vocalists, who are now visting the United States enjoy a unique reputation as finished and artistic exponents of part singing. They are drawn from the leading Cathedral choirs of Great Britain and include some of the finest boy's and men's voices from' Westminster Abbey, and since that time they have toured in every part of the English-speaking world. Their recent visit to Canada embraced over* 400 conclusive concerts given in 140 towns, while then* previous tour of Australia, New Zealand, India, and Ceylon extended over two years, in the course of which they gave 650 performances, including no less than 45 in the city of Sydney. Boy Sopranos One of the outstanding attractions of the Westminster Glee Singers is the fascinating charm and beauty of the boy sopranos, amongst whom are numbered some of the finest soloists which England has ever produced. In conjunction with the adult singers they form a combination which is ideal in its purity and musical tone, and it has been well said that these unique singers form the finest body of professional vocalists that have ever left England. Piano Recital In next Friday's assembly, Jean Philippi, piahiste and Normal student, will present a classical program with Mary Miller, Dorothy Swanson and Louise Dunn assisting her. Some of the numbers of the program will be "Nocturne and Waltz", by Chopin, the "Spinning Song", by Mendelssohn, and "Lotus Land", by Cyril Scott. The four artists will play a two piano number which should prove one of the main features on the program. They are under the direction of Miss Edith R. Strange of the Music Department. Student Board Picnic Planned for Tuesday Lake Samish will be the scene of the picnic of the Board of Control next Tuesday afternoon. Every quarter members of the board gather for merry-making to rest from the trials of handling the work of the student body, and although a banquet is usually given in the fall and winter quarters, the spring and summer seasons usually find the board members and their friends taking advantage of the weather by spending their holidays close to nature. PHILOS, SAIL IN "HELEN HINTON' Sunburn! Engine trouble! Dusty Roads; Singing! . Eats! Tells the story of the joyous yachting party and hike to Mountain Lake on. Or-cas Island last Saturday, May 11. Twenty exhuberant Philos. and Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Ruckmick embarked on the good boat "Helen Hinton,' (the boat that went on the rocks last week with the boy scouts) at 7:30. Ten minutes after we started, the engine got tired and decided to quit. Two hours of pulling the engine apart and wearing out two storage batteries, Frank Locke and Al Hanna, owner of the boat, performed a miracle and got the chugger to putting. We arrived at Olga at 12:45 and ate our luncheon on the sun baked beach. After lunch the entire, party enjoyed an exciting game of "take-a-way" t o help/'.the..digestive Student'Board Hears » Financial Report of Viking Vodvil Manager Hearing of the Viking Vodvil report given, by the manager, Randy Oberlatz, was the only business taken care of by the Board of Control at its regular meeting Monday afternoon. Mr. Oberlatz reported gross receipts of $310, out of which $190 was left* after all expenses, including the fee to the manager, had been taken care of. This sum was turned over the Student's Association. It was voted to turn this money into the picture fund. This fund is used to buy pictures to beautify the various halls of the school buildings. Hildreth Presents Pleasing Program Mrs. Daisy Wood Hildreth, composer- pianist of Seattle, played several of her original compositions and read from her poetry in last Friday's assembly. She was ably assisted by Miss Beatrice Nelson of Seattle, who sang Mrs. Hildreth's songs with much feeling and interpretation. Mrs. Hildreth's attitude toward her works is summed up in the lines from another poet which she read "The lark sings his own songs because the lark loves his own songs; is the lark more brave than I?" While her voice did not carry into the galleries and into the back of the room, we were charmed by her personality and as much of her poetry as we could hear, and her musical compositions were pleasing and artistic. HIGH RATING GIVEN NORTHWEST VIKING Receives Membership Certificate in Columbia Scholastic Press Association for General Merit. The Northwest Viking has just received its membership certificate in the Columbia Scholastic Press Association. According to general merit, the Association praised this journal on its editorial-matter, its sport news, and the quality of English used within these columns. Also a very high rating was given under the following categories: Breadth of News Field, News Writing (structure), Make-up, Literary Material and Humor. Under the heading of General •Consideration, commendation was given for work of affiliated students who are not working for credit in journalism. The publication represents the work of many, instead of a clique, shows initiative and originality. p It will be remembered that several weeks ago the Northwest Viking was honored by receiving fourth place in a list of over 400 Normal schools in the United States by the Columbia Scholastic Press Association. o process. Party Hikes to Lake The party hiked to Mountain Lake which is about three miles away and enjoyed swimming and sunburn there. On the way back from the lake one group hooked a ride on a flivver of ancient vintage and arrived at Olga an hour ahead of the rest of the bunch, just in time to start a fire and get supper started. At the table the group took inventory of the damages of the day and results were as follows: Jean Philippi and Helen He-land had acquired a gorgeous red effect around the head and neck, Joe Hermsen was the proud possessor of 150 new freckles or beauty spots, and Kate Morse; was the proud owner of a pair of sunburned knees. We left Olga at 8 p. in., and set our rudder towards Anacortes' and thence to Bellingham. The evening was spent, in singing, star gazing and looking at the phosphorus in the water. The party arrived in Bellingham close to midnight (don't tell anybody) where anxious parents were found waiting at the; dock. Moroni Olsen Players' Presentation of Barrie's Drama Concludes Season "What Every Woman Knows", a Barrie play, which is the last offer-: ing of the Moroni Olsen players' current season, was presented in the auditorium last Thursday evening. The play derived a great deal of its beauty from the settings and costumes which were in perfect keeping with the times. The Scotch dialect also added much to the charm of this popular play. Moroni Olsen directed the production and took the part of John Shand, a colossal man in his egotism, but who realized the tragedy of finding himself out. Janet Young was an outstanding character in the role of "Maggie Wylie", the Scotch girl "without charm", but who nevertheless was the making of her husband, John Shand. Wylie's Exact Bargain "John Shand" is convinced of his greatness, but is handicapped by the fact that he is not able to secure an education. The Wylies discover his stealing the use of the books in their library. Taking advantage of his situation they promise to educate him and he in return is. to marry their sister, "Maggie", whom they are anxious to see successfully married. , His rise from there on is rapid. He becomes a party leader of promise, due to the effectiveness of his speeches "which the adoring Maggie types for him. Then the inevitable thing occurs; he meets a certain woman, "Sybil" with gt; whom he falls in love and whom he believes to be the source of his inspirations. Maggie Unselfish He makes a clean breast of the affair to Maggie, who sends him off to his inspirer in order that he may Win more renown. Finally he comes to and is rescued by the capable "Maggie". It is then that he learns what every woman knows. Dorothy Adams as "Lady Sybil" and Leora Thatcher in the role of the French Comtesse "old in iniquity'^ made the best of the parts Barrie has provided for them. Joseph Williams, Byron Foulger and Addison Richard were just the kind of Scotchmen they were supposed to be. This is the second Barrie play these players have presented here. ---------- Northwest Viking - 1929 May 17 - Page 2 ---------- Formerly The WeeMy Messenger—Founded 1899 j j j fJEpjshed weekly, by Students' Association of State Normal School, Bellingham, Wash. | | | | | ^ E i t e r e d in the Postoffice at Bellingham, Washington, as second class matter.

Fowler Bert Cole REPORTERS , w Rose Brooks Glen Goddard John Fuinegan Ed Cox Ray Craft John Greaves ' Lloyd Becfces Robert Cox HOOVER A N D L AW OBSERVANCE v President Hoover, in his statement that law observance rather than law enforcement is the need of the hour, places the responsibility squarely where it belongs—on the shoulders of each and every individual in the whole nation. If we uphold L AW OBSERVANCE as an ideal, the enforcement problem will take care of itself. How does this concern us'as teachers? In two ways. First, because we ourselves are citizens, and second because to us is entrusted the character development of the rising generation, and we can foster the spirit of law observance and show that it is not smart to try to outwit enforcement officers and "get away" with things. Any eighth grader is capable of understanding the proposition, that our democracy will fall if people cease to obey the laws that have been made: I may not believe as the majority do, but to me the right guidance of children in the formative periods of their characters far transcends the mere teaching of facts. : . . " - • • —E. B. F. A Y E A R OF GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY The year 1929 is going to be a year of golden opportunity for 49 boys who are interested in chemistry and to one of them will be accorded ..the rare privilege of carrying on the work of "The World's Most Useful Citizen", Thomas A. Edison, after death causes him to lay that work down. And why not you as well as the next one? No one ever got anywhere without faith in himself. Judge yourself, improve yourself, but, oh, keep faith in yourself! Just in this connection it is interesting to note that the present world champion typist was told that he had special ability along that line and right then and there he decided to be the next world's champion. Without faith in himself he never would have. And there is plenty of potential ability going to waste. —E. B. F. LOCAL T A L E N T SCORES! Vera Ginnette played for our entertainment this morning, a group of piano numbers, in which she showed to us that much talent and skill are lurking here in our own student body. That talent, so anxious to spring into the limelight is often kept down by either a quenching modesty on the part of the artist, himself, or because of the lack of a place to appear. It'is known, that a great deal of fine talent exists in our midst, both among the faculty and students, and, Miss Ginnette at least, "broke the ice and paved the way", so to speak, for more Normal talent to present itself. MEN—YOU ARE INVITED— Normal boys, thine evening approacheth once more and the Freshmen scores again, decked this time in the sinister, romantic colors of the Arabs. Tonight, in the Edens Hall dining room, transformed with an unusual beauty, the Freshmen class present their quarterly party. (Now you understand why the men are hailed). The party is exclusively for Freshmen girls and all the men in the school; Sophomore girls, as a warning, Don't crash-the gates, or woe betide ye-victim caught! A TRIBUTE TO PAY Last quarter the Viking was entered in a contest for school publications sponsored by the Columbia Scholastic Press Association, Columbia University, and was awarded a fourth place and membership in the Association. v We received the certificate of membership. It is now placed on the bulletin board in the Viking office, and the score card gives the material contained in the Viking a definite rating. The quality of English used as to its clearness, readability and avoidance of cheap slang was given the score of A ; editorials in regard to their subject matter and appeal were likewise graded A ; the sport writing, concerning the absence of extreme partisanship,'absence of cheap, slang, proportion in accordance with other news and fact articles, received an A grade. r Certainly, Barney Chichester, editor^ at the time, the staff last quar-viiterVand this quarter's Viking, workers; as well as the school it represents feel the utmost pride in the^ honor won. 1^ ^ c are proud to b^ome a m the Columbia Scholastic Press AssociationofGdldumbja University^ We still refuse to admit that this column is pointless just-because it is aimless.

What are we to do about it? First Member: According to a tradition almost as old as the school itself we must extend it for six or eight months. Second Member: Exactly, and we must never let the word contest and music contest close at the same time, or something dreadful will happen. My old grandfather told me so when I was very, very young. Secretary: (Rummaging through files). The famous composer who wrote "Song- Without Words" had nothing on us; we've gone one better. Here are several examples of the words without the song. Chairman: Let's hear some of the first ones.^. Maple Barks You're sitting in a cool quiet tea room eating the dainty foods with a great deal of indifference. You are sipping water out of a tall, slender tinted glass, and listening to the music soft and in the distance. The breeze that comes in through., the., beautifully., draped windows rustles the., long., slender leaves of the palm tree just over your shoulder. But, once I stood in the hot kitchen door—smelled the strong odors of cooking, heard a querulous voice complaining about the clumsiness of a waitress, and saw the knotted, work-worn, work-weary hands preparing that salad and that cocktail that you mince at so daintily.

INELIGIBILITY RAISES HAVOC WITH TENNIS Ineligibility of Keplinger Added to Possible Loss of Erickson Spoils Viking Tennis Chances. THIRD GAME THRILLER I t was a tired, and worn out group of Viking baseball players that came straggling into their home port last Sunday. Tired and worn from a long trip and three hard ball games. Thursday, May 9, they left Bel-lingham for Ellensburg, where they were to meet the Wildcat nine, in a series of three ball games. The first of these games was played on Friday afternoon, the Vikings coming out in the lead by a score of 18 to 3. Granny Thorlakson twirled nice ball for the Norsemen, allowing but six hits, while the Wildcat coach had to use the arts of four pitchers in erder to keep the Vikings from -garnering more than fifteen hits, two of which were four base clouts, one by Clarke and the other by Thorsen. A whole flock of singles, spveral doubles and one or two of the triple variety were counted in the Viking hitting spree. All the boys from the top to the bottom of the batting list were hitting the ball all over the lot. It cannot be said that the Viking-victory was due to the superior work in the field, for there were plenty of errors, but the fellows came thru in their hitting in fine style. Second Game Lost The second game was almost the opposite from the first one. The Vikings started the scoring in the second frame when Thorsen drove one over the fence for the only Viking score of the game. The fellows played good and fast ball behind Stiger, who allowed the Wildcats but seven hits in the seven and a half innings that they pitched. He was relieved by Lei't,y Williams in the seventh frame. Ineligibility has hit the tennis squad.^and has spread havoc over the plans for a Viking tennis victory at the Tri-Normal meet next Saturday, at Cheney. "Ernie' Keplinger, No. 3 man, has been crossed off the list as those eligible for making the trip, due to the 12-hour ruling. Erickson, No. 2, will be lost to the racqueteers as he is participating in the track and field events, and this elimination cuts the squad down to Sid Thai No. 1, and Church, No. 4. Carver Undecided Coach Sam Carver is undecided as to who will make the trip. It is probable that he will take only two men along. If such be the case Sid Thai will make the trip in No. 1 position, with "Ham" Church holding the best chances for making the other place on the trip. Another possibility is that Erickson will play doubles with Thai and also participate in the track events. If this is possible the Viking stock wlil go up. Little is. known of the strength of the Ellensburg and Cheney racquet squad, but with the advantage Cheney holds by playing on her own courts, and the fact that her men took the meet last year seems to give them the dope for this year. Ellensburg has not been heard from in tennis circles this spring but chances are that she will have good squad who will give tough opposition to either school at their best. W HAMS HACKS and HEEZES by CHARLIE HORSE VIKINGS DROP MEET WITH U. FROSH TEAM Erickson's First in Javelin, and Axelson's Win in Quarter Only First Places Taken by Normal. Stiger was not up to form and was throwing a little wild, which was one of the main reasons for his relief. The Viking failure to connect witih the fast one of Sanders, Wildcat hurling ace, was mainly accountable for the loss-of the second contest. Several times the Norsemen got men on the bags, but the Ellensburg pitching ace tightened and the succeeding hitters were unable to advance their teammates. The final score of the game stood at nine to one in favor of the Wildcats. ~ Third Game Close. The third game was the closest, and the hardest of all three. The Vikings scored one run in the first inning, just by way of starting the game off right, when Odell, Viking leadof f man clouted the first pitched ball over the right field fence for a homer. Then in the second frame the Wildcats came back and took the leaed, which they "held until the first of the eighth, when the Norsemen tied the score at five all. Then in their half of the eighth, the E1-, lensburg team won the game when, with two away, Hamilton muffed an easy roller at second and let a man on the bags. He stole second and scored on the next hitter's single to left field. The ninth frame saw the Vikings unable to score, and the contest ended 6 to 5 in favor of the Wildcats. Sanders Weakens. Several times during the contest, .Sanders, Wildcat, hurler, showed signs of weakening, and Coach Sand-berg had several other chuckers wanning up during the game. Sanders started and finished both of the Saturday games, thus following in the footsteps of McMahon, who performed a similar feat for the Ellensburg nine last season against the Vikings here on Waldo field. . Not only did he finish both games but he also won them, a feat that is seldom performed. Errors behind Thorlakson's masterful twirling were responsible for , the Viking defeat in the third game. f r ^ m ; , 0 f ^ , t I i e m v - b y \ H ^ ^ i o n and one by McClurken caused, irrepar* I^We damage, and the Vikings were •U$to*P^;-*o- go down to defeat once The Viking track squad, as Coach Carver expected, came out on the short end of the 25 to 84 score in the indoor meet against the U. of "W. Frosh at Seattle, Wednesday, May 8. Erickson's win,in the javelin, and Axelson's splendid quarter were the only first places taken by the White and Blue. Erickson was high point man with nine markers. "Erick" took first place in the javelin with a heave of 181 feet; placed second in the broad jump, leaping 19'7", and gained a single point for third place in the shot. He missed taking a third place in the high hurdles by a small margin when he stumbled on the last barrier. Axelson ran a fine v440 on the Pavilion's small track to take a first in 54 seconds. Axelson finished with a good lead over his nearest Frosh competitor. His time would have been better if the race had been run on the outdoor track for the short turns were a handicap to the Viking trackmen. Hemmi, Viking flash, ran a good race in the 75-yard dash to lt; finish second to Dunn of the Frosh. He kept up the good work in the 220, but the handicap of the short turns kept him from finishing better than a close fourth. Bright Places. Bellingham's star miler, Bright, ran a beautiful race to place second to the Frosh star, Rhuddy. Bright had plenty of steam at the finish to pass the Freshman, but the short straight-away did not give him the opportunity. In the 880, Howell was nosed out at the tape .by two Freshmen after he had held the lead, for three laps. Arnett took a third for one point in the discus with a heave that was short of his usual performance. Bay, after considerable hard luck, placed^third in the pole vault. Davis, Bellingham's entry in the high jump, failed to place in his event. Due to Bellingham's being handicapped by having to run.indoors and on the small track, Coach Carver did not enter a team in the relay, forfeiting five points to the Frosh. Bellingham had' no entries in t h e low, hurdles, but the event was i. run^by;; ' t t o e^ Predunen. ' ';.;;": The Viking athletic teams had a hard time of it during last week. First 4he U. of W. Frosh downed the cinder artists in the^ pavillion at Seattle last Wednesday by an overwhelming score. * * * * Following the defeat of the track team, the baseball squad journeyed to Ellensburg, where they were trodden under the feet of ,the Wildcats in two games out of three. * * .* * Both these setbacks were especially hard to digest. Bright, Viking miler, stepped out after an illness of ten days, and ran the mile in a little over four minutes and thirty-one seconds, finishing second to the FrosJi runner, who was only a step ahead of the Viking star. * * * * Axelson and Erickson were the only Viking men to place first in their events. Axelson stepped the 440 in good time for the first position, while Chuck Erickson tossed the javelin a little over 180 feet, for another first. At Ellensburg the Viking pas-timers had a Utile hard luck. After taking the first game of the series from the Wildcats, they fell into a slump and dropped the next two. The first game was featured by the heavy stick work of the Viking batsmen... Clarke poled out a homer with men on., the., bags... Soon after, he was emulated by Occie Thorsen, who drove a low inside ball over the left -field wall for the second homer. LOREN BAILEY KEPT THE CENTER FIELDER BUSY CHASING THE OLD APPLE INTO,THE CORNER OF THE CENTERFIELD FOR TWO AND THREE BASE CLOUTS. * * * * Odells' nine hits out of fourteen trips to bat in this series was the biggest' feature of the trip... For four straight games he has made a hit the first time to bat. ..The last game he hit the first pitched ball for the circuit, putting it over the right field barrier., * * * * Occie Thorsen was the home run king of the Ellensburg trip. He put one over the fence in the first game, and then poled one out for the only Viking score in the second game. * * * * I t seems that the big first baseman really found hs batting eye on this trip. Now, other pitchers had better look out. * * * * BAILEY GOT A HOMER IN THE THORD GAME WHEN HE BOUNCED ONE OF SANDERS' OFFERINGS OFF THE CENTER-FIELD FENCE FOR THREE BAGS AND THEN WENT HOME ON AN OVERTHROW. * * * * All that the Vikings needed to make their eastern trip a huge success 4oas another ball game tucked under their belt. ---------- Northwest Viking - 1929 May 17 - Page 4 ---------- WHMffiM imiF | A i i i n ^ •*?•', Get 9^B^^:^S^:'Cknitest, to Help ^iMWkey'Ita Success^ ^ r ^ ^ v ^ t j i € ^ were sent out from ^:- the; Normal this week to members ; iof itae, alumni, urging the "old ^ ?S«ds^ito get behind the Song Con-yptisfc: ln. order to further assure the ^ta^ags^pt school song that will •:, ^ i ^ t t h e traditions that have ':• been biiflding up during the, past • t h i r ty years; r :i; gt;G^.--^pringsteel, chairman of the School Song committee, declared ;.2j^t; gt;.'in\ gt;i»e|iK,o|i.the. response that ifo^t f ^ i s f t s , . the members of the i student ..• ifoody^now in attendance, ai^i c w ) ^ e r i n g ; jthe. musical"jfcalent ^ ^ e ( ! # i ' gt; S a ^ e s n,ow ,in the field, that there is little doubt but that the contest will produce songs with .V words' and -melodies of lasting mer- PJ0^./'-M - '•'.- r;'CV;:'^\:'-Snffi«ient Time ;Lr \WP . •• i -, ^committee feels," Mr. Springsteel declared, "That having advanced the time for the compositions to lie submitted, that the people wno" a re working up themes for ' t h e i r songs will feel that we are in earnest about" bur willingness to cooperate in every way to insure a song worthy of the school.

Our children in the training school are considerate and resourceful members of society. This is exemplified in the discussions and investigations which have been taking place in the various rooms concerning the possibility of danger from the tetnus germ present in the caps used in toy capguns... One enterprising group Wrote to the United States Bureau of Health for information... A reply was received in which the children learned that tetnus (lockjaw) is'present in soil, .dust and very nearly everywhere in nature. It is not dangerous, however unless the germs are introduced deep into the flesh by forcing some object such as a rusty nail, or wire, or hard 'piece of wood into it... They will continue to enjoy their cap guns, they decided, as long as care was taken to prevent anyone's being injured by them. : 0 — THE CEDARS Frances Jordon and Marie Hol-zen spent the week-end at their homes in Blaine.

XXIX—NO. 55 WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL, BELLINGHAM. WASHINGTON Friday, August 15y 1930 Allegory plus Moral —By Catherine Morse ALLEGORY Once upon a time, there was a Certain Parly who attended a Perfectly Normal School for a Certain Period of Time. Being of Moderate Intelligence, , he proved to be pretty Well-liked by his Teachers and Friends during his stay at this Perfectly Normal School. Now like many of the more enterprising of his Friends and other Inmates of this Perfectly Normal School, this Certain Party, our Hero, held down a Responsible Position on the School Publication from which Heights, so-called, he frequently, although with questionable taste, would make Debunking Remarks upon the Established Customs and Institutions of the Perfectly Normal School... Now no one took particular exception to these Debunking Remarks because they all knew our Hero quite well, and while they made suggestions and sometimes even intimated that the Certain Party was stepping a bit too far for any Perfectly Normal School, they grinned to themselves and thought that his vagaries were Pretty Cute... Well, when the certain Period of Time was up, the Certain Party decided to go to a Well-Known Institution in order to Complete and Further Augment his Education. Our Hero enjoyed his Education there,-and even added much to his store of learning — a truly strange occurrence, knowing that Certain Party—and decided to spend his Vacation back at the old Perfectly Normal School. His Friends and the other Inmates told bur Hero that they Were glad to see him—all of which was pleasing— nay, ever flattering to the Certain Party. He Was offered a Responsible Position again on the School Publication which he needed no coaxing to accept because it Afforded him the Opportunity for Which he had been hoping. Now, he could pick up where he left—so he wrote as he had been used to before he went away to a Well- Known Institution. Well, after the first issue of the School Publication, people reacted as they had of yore, but after the Second Issue, they thought, "That Certain Party has been to a Well-Known Institution now and has no use any more for a Perfectly Normal School". Others thought, "He's high-hat now; we are not good enough for him". Others not being deep enough to pierce the real purpose of that Certain Party said, "The School Publication travels all over and just think what an impression it is going to give Outsiders!" • (-never thinking thft Outsiders Would never believe itij•;orily'good was said of the Institution, anyway) and Still Others said that that Certain Party was Disappointed in Love. But that Certain Parly managed to survive and the School Publication sustained a Wee Bit More of Reader Interest because of it. But that Was not the End, no, indeld. That Certain Party continued, to worry about it and Wonder why he should be demedor at least criticised so severely on making use of Freedom of the Press just because he had been attending a Well-Known Institution whereas before his Migration, his Debunking Remarks were only regarded as amusing. However, the Entire Workings of the Mind of that Certain Parly cannot be traced, but the end'^was reached without any .Conclusion, so that Certain Party wended his) Weary Way • hack to the' Well-Known Institution and Wondered.^}^ ^•'.'] h Fisher Declares 1033 Enrolled Summer Session President Fisher Tabulates Figures on Summer Enrollment; Whatcom County Sends Largest Number in Slate.

She writes: "I saw a pelota game last night (night is literal, as it lasted from 10:30 p. m. until 1:00 a. m.) The game is fast and interesting" Miss Ullin visited a cabaret where she saw an old Spanish dance which proved to be most delightful. She found the Alhambra "as lovely as expected". After.a visit in France for study she will return to her work at the Normal, in October. JackJBlack^of "You Cant Win" To Speak Tuesday Goats Disturb Pass Hikers 'x*The best trip of the year". "The most beautiful the pass has been in recent years''. With the above statements and many more like them, forty hikers from this school came out of Hannegan.Pass last Sunday, evening, having spent the week-end rambling about the hillsides and meadows in the lap of the pass. Noted Authority on Criminology to Address Student Body in ^Tuesday Assembly. An Unusual Character. Students in Art Appreciation to Exhibit Lantern Slides in Auditorium Monday. Pictures Well Reproduced Monday morning at 10 oclock the class in Art Appreciation, under the direction of Miss Marie C. Druse, will present a program of lantern slide reproductions of famous world paintings. The showing will be made in the auditorium. The collection includes the works of most of the famous foreign and American painters, and augmenting the showing of the slides will be a short discussion of the picture by members of the class. "The slides are excellent reproductions", Miss Druse declared, "and the class members have been working hard to work out good interpretation^' of them. All of the students are invited to attend the showing, and we think tliat they will welcome an oppotunity to see these good paintings and to hear them discussed" FORMER NORMALITE VISITS FROM MOSCOW Lorin Barker, former Normal student and prominent member of the i gt;rama Club, visited school last week. Mr. Barker will be superintendent of schools of Marysville this coming quarter. He comes to thjs coast from Moscow, Idaho, where he was superintendent of schools.

She expects to take part of the trip by boat, stopping at Prince Rupert and spending a few days at Jasper Park. Miss Reese intends to visit her pwents wha live hi Chicago and to According to the mountaineers, wild goats were very tame in the pass this summer, coming right into camp and disturbing the regular routine on several occasions. These timid animals are usually hard to approach, but because of the re striction on shooting them have become less afraid. Jack Black, famous author of 'You Can't Win",' and lecturer on criminal and sociological problems, will speak in assembly Tuesday, August 15.,'., ': " Mr. Black promises to bea most interesting speaker on the subject in which he is most informed, having been at one time on the 'inside' of the criminal world. Unfortunate accidents of environment, misdirected imagination and an intense love for adventure, led him into professional crime, into various prisons, into every sort of harrowing and illuminating experience. Finally, through books, right' thinking, the aid of Fremont Older, and Judge Frank H. Dunn, of San Francisco, Jack Black was somehow saved to tell the upper world about the under world. "Truly a man of fine character and marked mental abilities, Mr. Black has a dry humor, a certain subtle magnetism and_much flinty underworld philosophy which make him a new kind of speaker for the lecture platform". — o- Normal Students Find Fossils on Sucia On Recent Excursion Choral Club Will Present Cantata Friday Morning Students who visited Sucia Island recently report that slides have uncovered fossilized fish and shrimp. Arrow-heads are found in places showing that the island was once inhabited by Indians. The land sank beneath the surface where solid rock formed over these objects. The land was raised after a period of time. The freezing and thawing has caused the slides which reveal the fossils. A large tooth an inch square and three inches long was recently found.

Next fall, Mr. Zoet will at-they tend Stanford University where he ] has a fellowship. Victor IfcppeStat^ Dramatic Entertainment In Letter Editor, The Viking, Washington State Normal School, Bellingham, Washington. August 11, 1930 My dear Editor: Please accept my thanks for the fine publicity given us hi our production of "The Pigeon" and for your generous words about our performance. This splendid co-operation of our school press is very heartening. May I, my dear editor, make some comment on our Drama Club plays and our student audiences. As director, it has not been my wish to be unduly "high-brow" in the dramatic fare dffered our audiences. Our plays are not picked because they are difficult or bizarre. They are selected on the basis of an attempt to help interpret this complex business of living. This interpretation may be comic or serious, hilarious or sad— for life has such elements. Then, too, we want to do something a little different in entertainment from the commercial brand always available on Main Street. Our audience being young and full of the joy of life, we cannot conceive it as our obligation to merely while away the passing moment. Surely with jazz, the talkie, the "rec" hour and all the extracurricular "whoopee" that our students make for themselves so nicely, we should be freed from the ---------- Northwest Viking - 1930 August 15 - Page 2 ---------- WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCH POi^BJElLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Formerly The Weekly Messenger—Founded 1899 ' P u b l i s h e d evfcrjr'Friday except during the month of September, by the Associated Students, Washington State Normal, Bellingham. ; •• •• "; 'V--.-,_. .

T h e Victoria trip, (and. this is straight from the shoulders of some four hundred and fifty Normalites,) was; a bigger success than the most optimistic publicity writer, had anticipated. Tn e . .committees arrangements went off without any difficulties being encountered, and the conduct of the "student body was a credit to the institution. 1 Victoria affords unusual places of interest, and we believe that the holiday was the outstanding event of the years program. As an adjunct of the Educational curricula the excursion holds a unique position, because many, students found that the trip contributed more to them in certain positive ways than several days of. struggling through classes, (with due apologies). gt;•••; *We believe that by planning for the trip well in advance of the sailing date, and by doing a lot of wholesale buying of entertainment before the party arrives in Victoria, that the trip could be made sufficiently inexpensive- to allow for a complete, turnout of the student body. .By setting the date early in the quarter a conflict with coming examinations would not be felt, and the trip could easily become the outstanding recreational institution of the Normal. CAMPUS GADGET If you haven't examined the new water sprinkling gadget which has been performing on the lawn under the auspices of Gardener Dack this week you should certainly do so. It is really a marvelous creation, and one capable', of .watering the grass in the most graceful fashion. It reminds one of a very agile scarf dancer. But don't try to absorb the wonders of this mechanism all at once. Take time. Study it for thirty or forty minutes. Concentrate oh the exhaust pipes that throw: their alternate streams of water. You will be rewarded, because itis-easily the most significant gadget that has appeared in these parts, in .many, months.- • •'.'' \ '- We know what we are talking about. As a connoisseur of steam shovels, cigar lighters, and patented automobile' accessories," we. haven't been hypnotized by a creation lately'that showed half the ingenuity of this new device. •..''. ,\.,,-,• V PHOTOGRAPFTY EXHIBIT : ^ '-'People who haven't seen the photography classes* exhibits will undoubtedly be amazed at the beauty of the photographs which will be shown in the men's club room next week. It is riot commonly known that amateur photographers can in as short a' time as six or eight weeks learn to do as excellent Work in creating art as will be demonstrated in the exhibit. Much of the work, too, will have been done with simple little box cameras. - — . That people are becoming conscious of the pleasure' to be had in photography is evidenced by the increasingly large numbers of people who crowd the classes. SUMMER STUDY Studying in the summer time isn't what it is said to be in the catalogues. At least that is as we have found it. We begin our .day in a lethargy, take our lunch in a torpor, and struggle home in a stupor. If we drag ourself to class, it is to be overcome with a sort of sweet ennui.*To concentrate on any one point is to bathe our brain in oblivion. So, about all we do anymore is run through our schedule every day, and let the momentum pf Having registered carry us through. Although, of course, we dream once in a while bf acquiring ourself a little island, with a single palm tree, where we can betake ourself to lie all day, with a few cocoanuts to drop in our lap when we are hungry. The only thing that would spoil that would be to have to move now and then to follow the shade around in the sand. . . Occasionally, too, we have to wrestle out an editorial, but we've even gotten so that we just put our fingers on the typewriter and let them stumble around as best they can and get our column out for us. Which, when you study it, is just, about what we've been doing for the last half hour. .-,-•'. *~ GRIFFITH'S I Rainbow Beach Invites You to j Lake Samish Dance ELKaBAND ] Every Saturday and Sunday Nights i r ~* NORMAL HOSIERY SHOP V - ' Across from Nortnai Library ' • FULLF^HIONED BERKSHIRE HOSIERY; Lingerie ffhd'-Nptions MunsJtii Silk HoseMended MATRIMONIAL ADVENTURE UPHELD ;BY;N0RMALET^ TO the columnist who objected to having matrimony termed. an adventure; ' '•;.-. • '••-• Greetings :' ; is matrimony an adventure? My dear, you don't know the half of it! Adventure—hm-m-m—that comes primarily from uncertainty; doesn't it? You venture into new country; you know you will meet .the unusual and do—that's adventure. Well—you venture into matrimony, probably with someone you have known a long, long time. You know him (or her, as the case may be) thoroughly. No chance of adventure there, nb chance of. the unusual, you.know exactly.what he will do under every circumstance. Oh, you do, do you? If you are laboring under that delusion, don't get married. Your adventure won't be fun. It will be an. unpleasant surprise. But, if you marry knowing that the person you are going to live with is not, and cannot possiby.he, the person you have been going to shows with and taking long hikes with and^ all the rest that constitutes the thrill of an acquaintanceship and engagement, then, I say, you have the joy and thrill of real adventure coming to you. For it's true, absolutely. Ask any honest person who has ever sailed the broad seas of matrimony. You can get a "kick" out of it^all the fun. of exploring the unknown; or, you can hate like poison your step from secure certainty to a wobbly little. craft that- may splash you with bitter salt spray forty times a day; but it's adventure nevertheless. Oh, My, Yes! —M. X C. G. H. WORRIED OVER INEQUALITY OF SEXES? My Dear G. H.: It is quite evident that G. H. is worried. What difference who is the more important creature—man or woman? Doesn't G. H. realize that "mind" is not superior to "matter" when either is concerned with the other? Love is two foul things after each other. Who would be so educated as to use the Sunday funnies as authority to prove either superior ? Does G. H. think for a moment that she was made to "live" and take a place in life without the male Trie same applies to trie male.

Leaving thei Fenidale landing; field at 4:30 p. m., they circled over Bellingham following the shore north to Fern-dale, thence to Lynden and from there they followed the course of the Nooksack River as far as the Glacier district:. Continuing on, they passed over the Baker crater on the north side of the mountain and then circled the dome of Mt. Baker at an altitude of 10,500 feet. The trip to the top took about one hour and twenty minutes. Motion'Pictures Taken Mr.'Ruckmick took motion pictures of the takeoff, the crater, the dome, Kulshan Cabin, Mt. Baker trail and general views depicting the scenic grandeur of the country.-The pictures cover from a high point of view, the Baker hike trail, which many of our students and faculty members have treked over during past summers. Mr. Ruckmick reported seeing a large forest fire which is now raging in Eastern Washington. In climbing, they were unable to gain more than 75 to 80 miles per hour. Due to the circling for altitude, it took approximately one and one-half hours from the takeoff until they reached the top: Speedy Return The return was much speedier. Gaining a maximum speed of 110 m. p. m., they circled over Lake Whatcom, Lake Samish, south to the far end of Chuckanut Drive and then up the bay to the airport, completing the trip in about two hours. Miss Wilson, in comparing it to the. time she. flew over the English channel, said: "In crossing the channel we were 2000 feet high and I could easily feel a sense of speed. On this trip it was as if we were suspended in the air, passing nothing, going nowhere, just floating". In commenting on the trip, Mr. Ruckmick said: 'You can- plainly see the fertility "of the Lynden farming district which is in sharp contrast to the regions higher up. The weather was ideal for the trip". Mr. Rule stated: "It gave me the same exciting thrill that you get from riding in a smooth running automobile". • . o LOCKS LEAVE Clarence and Franklin Lock, former Normal students, left Friday, August 7, for Yakima, Washington.

At the present time their total assets are one cow and no place to put her. ilt is the wish of these three young gentlemen that their story be told from the very beginning. It happened in the following manner: . Time—Midnight. Place—Bellingham and suburbs.: The Characters— The aforementioned young men plus one Ford car and one cow, to whom the name of Betsy will be given. Main Object—Contemplating on entering dairy business. Fallowing is a list of difficulties encountered in the business enterprise: Catching cow, where to put said cow after being caught, inability of aforesaid male characters, plus help of Ford car, to catch animal. Where Animal First. Encountered —Near Normal school. Object—Looking for grass with no intention"'of arousing the ire of George Dack, local gardener. Action—Three men sneak up behind Betsy with malice towards none and with justice for all, and with the predetermined intention of catching said cow. Cow too smart (evidently received some course in technique which boys are not familiar with), starts off in gentle, easy swing, increasing as the time went by until speed limit set by local cops was attained. Cow then reverts back to ancestral stage and walks across the lawn, which throws boys completely off course. The gentlemen walk on the walk and refuse to cut corners or. cross lawn. As a result said bovine creature gains great deal on local cowboys. Ford car now in use. Mr. Westall driving Ford car down Sixteenth street, Mrs Rajala walking on one side.

W. S. N. S. The Moroni Olsen presentation of "The Twelve Thousand" was given last night. We will say t h a t it was a splendid performance, gripping the audience with the first line and sending them away to talk about it i o r days (the play, not the first line). The Moroni Olsen Players liave been here before. W. S. N. S.— A new slant on a n old subject (clipped from the P.-I.): "A brand of patriotism so keen t h a t it amounted to an obsession prompted the leasing of the Elk Hills Naval Oils Reserve back in 1921, Frank J. Hogan, chief defense attorney, told the jury today as he summed up his case in the Fall bribery trial. Hogan figuratively draped the Stars and Stripes over the shoulders of former Secretary of Interior Albert B. Fall and E. L. Doheney, the oil magnate,'as he exhorted the jurors to acquit Fall of the charge of having accepted a $100,000 bribe from Doheney. W. S. N. S. The committee in charge of the proposed inter-class tie-up is having hard sledding. More than, enough freshmen have volunteered, but the sophs are strangely lacking in enthusiasm.' It's too bad, too. We need more affairs of. this sort to make the new crop of ex-high school students feel at home here. W. S. N. S. — We asked the Coach for the newest news about football today. He tells us t h a t the Vikings won a game from St. Martin's last Saturday, and that they're going to Cheney this week—it makes things more interesting when one has the inside dope like this. W. S. N. S. Borrowed from Brisbane, to save Writing it up myself: " A thirty-two-year-old Montana cattle man, W . F. Diteman, Jr., was lost on his way across the ocean from Harborr Grace to London. He said nothing about his trip until he started yesterday, leaving a note for the airport officials, and taking 165 gallons of gasoline". W. S. N. S.

TWO CASH CONTESTS OFFERED SEVENTY DOLLARS Song Contest Starts Anew Under New Management,, According to Board of Control Appointment. SONG NEED IS URGENT Contest Is Open to All Students and Alumni of Normal. Several Songs Already Turned In. Edith Dyer was appointed by Lyle Summers this week to carry on the work of the school song contest begun last term, and to obtain words for a new Viking song to replace the songs now in use at assemblies and pep meetings. Because the need for such a song has become so urgent, the Board of Control voted a total of seventy dollars to be awarded to the student and alumni who compose, original words and melodies in keeping with the spirit and tradition of the school. That it is possible to obtain beautiful compositions from the student body effort has been proven by many other institution, and the board considered the award of forty dollars for first prize, only just compensation for a really good song. Miss Dyer, in conjunction with other members of the song committee, will begin work Monday in bringing the first section of the contest to a close, and to obtain, before the end of November, words from those people. wanting to submit verses that will be set to music by other students. Commenting on the work of the (Continued on Page Two) PLAY WELL RECEIVED "Twelve Thousand" Presented by Moroni Olsen Piayers; Is Based Upon Effects of Revolution. The American revolution and its effect upon two other great, emerging powers of the time, and the first faint challenge to the doctrine of divine right of kings in its greatest stronghold, a German grand duchy, are drawn with vigorous simplicity in the setting of a summer palace pavillion in an obscure German state, in "Twelve Thousand", which was presented last night in the Normal auditorium, by the'Moroni Olsen players. This play opened the seventh season of the First Circuit Repertory company of the Moroni Olsen Players here, under the auspices of the Normal. One Woman in Cast Seven men and one woman were included in the cast last night, Janet Young taking the sole feminine role of the Baroness Spangenburg, the latest fancy of the dissolate German prince. She played her part with unusual talent. Moroni Olsen, who took the part of Piderit, the prince's confidential secretary, despised by the Baroness at first, and honored when she finds how he has made use of her sealed letter to Prussia to save his countrymen from their king's betrayal, sincerely played the role with all the characteristic Olsen talent. The prince was played by Addison Richards, while Joseph Williams took the part of the Prussian colonel. All the players were superb, showing exceptional dramatic talent. Well Received The play was received by a large crowd of delighted play-goers who gave the players an enthusiastic r e ception. Two other plays will complete the 1929-30 season. They are "The Makropoulos Secret" and "White Wings" by Karel Capek and Philip Barry respectively: Karel Capek, it will be remembered, was t he author of the super-drama, "R. U. R.", givT eh by the Normal Drama club. last quarter. . • Meet Former Student Gets Position as Librarian Mr. Herbert E. Fowler, chairman of the English department, recently received a letter from George Al-lez, former president of the Associated Students here. After leaving Bellingham, Mr. Al-lez attended the library school at the University of Washington then at Columbia. He is now librarian at the State Normal School at Stevens Point, Wisconsin. Praises Viking To Mr. Fowler he wrote, "I am sending you a copy of our little school paper. It is not so ambitious as the Northwest Viking, but it has promise". o W, E. A.

Many Famous Musicians Booked for Artist Course; Schedule Announced Bookings for the annual fall Musical Artist's Course have been completed and are announced accordingly by the Bellingham Women's Music Club and the' Bellingham State Normal, the sponsors of the course. Ignatze Friedman, world-famous pianist and composer, will open this winter's series of concerts. Mr. Friedman enjoys an enviable reputation in well informed musical centers and is certain to prove a rare treat to all music lovers on December 11, the night of his performance. Zimbalist Booked The second artist scheduled is t he violin virtuoso, Efrem Zimbalist who will be here on January 27. Having played in nearly every city in the world and soloed with nearly every symphony orchestra of importance, Mr. Zimbalist is well prepared to give a truly outstanding performance in his eighteenth annual tour since his American debut. Owner of one of the finest collections of violins in existence, including the famous "Titian Stradivar-ius", he commands perhaps the most beautiful tone to be heard today. He is assured of a capacity* audience at his recital. Band to Play On January 29, two days later the famous Carleton Symphony Band from Carleton College, Northfield, Minnesota, conducted by- James Robert Gillette is scheduled. Judging from advance press notices Mr. Gillette has achieved something r e markably different in the music world by his combination of the full rich timbre of the symphony orchestra with the brilliancy of the band. He has given the ideals of liis organization as seeking to give, the band a refinement as delicate as the finest orchestra; to produce the program full of musical interest; and to completely change the popular idea regarding bands and band music. That he has succeeded, is well evidenced by the constantly increasing size of his annual tour. Copella Choir Coming The Smallman Copella choir will be here on February 20. The founder'and conductor of this choir John A. Smallman, of Los .Angeles has done a distinguished piece of (Continued on Page Four) Campus to be Gay For Home Comers Homecoming plans are developing rapidly, according to Dorothy Sasse, assistant to Joe Hermsen, manager of this year's Homecoming.

Someone said, "Repetition is good for the soul". Or, if no one said it, someone should have. Therefore, again we take the opportunity to say, "Why stand around at Rec Hour when The Jay Curtis Orchestra is playing for your special benefit?" When I go into the big gym between 4 and 5 o'clock on the Friday afternoon I am reminded of a stage performance, with the floor as a stage and the audience packed into the doorway. Someone else said, "All the world's a stage but most of us are only stage hands". Let's not be stage hands, let's get into the act. —L. D. YEA, V I K I N G S! Be as it may, it sems that Normal is destined to have a little pep whether they like it or not. For several years the noise made at Viking football games and so forth has been noticeably punk. However, last Saturday's performance by the Normal rooting section was "good for sore ears". Maybe the incoming frosh have brought a lot of pep from their former alma mater. Anyway, stock in Viking yells went up 100 % after last Saturday and is still going strong. Come on, Normal, let's get behind Jack and Lyle, and "We'll do or die for dear old Bellingham". —J. R. A G R E A T M O M E N T IN H I S T O RY The old saying that "one must die to become famous", was emphatically disproved last Monday, when the whole world paused to pay tribute to Thomas A. Edison on the fiftieth anniversary of his invention of the incandescent light. Other living scientists who were honored were Madame Marie Curie, discoverer of radium, and Professor Albert Einstein of Germany. T o those of us who "listened in", the event was most thrilling, inasmuch as we were invited to share the party: to hear the music of Henry Ford's old time orchestra as they played Edison's favorite tunes; to hear the voices of the distinguished guests and to feel the enjoyment of the great inventor himself, as he spoke to his world audience. To these great scientists we owe the opportunity we had of actually participating in one of the "great moments in history". Preparations have already started for Homecoming, the annual event in the fall quarter. According to recent investigation the affair promises to be the most gladsome celebration in years. N Some of the Frosh are worried ahjout that event. H ere is an autthhee n tic incident that happened last Tuesday. Picning up a VlKING, the Freshman noticed Jthe word "Homecoming" printed after the Ellensburg game scheduled here for November 16. "Why", he questioned, "should it be home coming—they play here, don't they?" It is amusing to most of us, but maybe the'word is a puzzle to the Freshmen. Homecoming? It is that time of the year reserved for our alumni to "come home"—back to Normal to renew acquainances and receive warm welcomes. It's a time we all make merry with the big football game, and the Homecoming dance at the Armory. The organized houses compete for the best decorative effects and there is a big banquet given for the alumni. It is one of our peppiest times at Normal, that holds simple sentiments .and welcomes for our grads when they "Come Home", y - ' ' I am still old-fashioned enough to believe that it is the professors Jtnat make a college great. And yet, how rare is a great teacher. I do not remember what any of my old teachers taught me. I only remember -their personalities.

R. o Song Contest Offers Several Cash Prizes IFFLE By BARNEY (Continued from Page One) committee, and in explanation of the contest rules, Miss Dyer brought out the following points: The school song contest is open to all students of the Normal school, and all alumni. The pui'pose of the contest is to obtain two, and if possible, three, desirable songs for the school. The need for such songs is becoming more and more urgent, as the school songs now in use are direct plagiarisms of those of Cornell and Wisconsin. These songs, incidentally, are cribbecd by many high schools. In order to stimulate composition of words and music, entirely original and in keeping with the dignity and traditions of the school, the Board of Control will award three prizes, totalling seventy dollars, to the writers and composers of the winning numbers. The songs may be of the "loyalty" or the "pep" type, and the judges will not discriminate between the two kinds of songs, but will award the first prize to whatever song of either type seems to be the best. Since the best possible song for the school is desired, the contest element is not to be stressed, and students participating may obtain as much help from other sources as they desire. Collaboration among students is encouraged, and faculty people have expressed a desire to be of any possible help. Since some people have expressed a wish to enter the contest with words, but have no training to fit them to compose the melody for their song, those people entering words only must have their material in by the last of November. These words will be published, without publishing the names of the writers, and those interested in writing music for them will be able to do so before the end of the contest in February. Names" of writers and composers will be withheld from the judges until after a decision is made. The prize money will be split equally between the word writers and melody writers. Composers wishing to write both words and music may turn in their songs any time before the final closing date in February. The songs may be of any length desired, and of any number' of verses desired. Until the return of Guy Spring-steel, chairman of the song contest committee words, or words and music should be addressed to Edith Dyer, in cafe of the Music department.

First on the bill is the tussle tomorrow between the Cheney Savages and the Vikings, at Cheney. Although the contest will not be of particular interest to Viking supporters, much excitement is probably stirred up by the Savages. They may have vision of repeating their victory of last year. Prom a, student's point of view the Carver-ites will give the Savages quite a surprise. Vikings Outclass St Martin's And Win VIKINGS TROUNCE ST. MARTIN'S TEAM Erickson, Cardwell, Stickney, Bu-rick, Sherman, Norman, and Tenoski Play an Outstanding Game. Washington Prepares For Oregon Contest by Secret Practices * * « John Cather, a tackle on the 1928 Viking team, is at the present time playing football for the Col lege of Paget Sound. "Bull", as he was called by his teammates, seems to have made a big hit with C. P, S. coaches and has one of the permanent births on the team. Did you notice that trick, play the St., Martin's team pulled Saturday? It looked somewhat bewildering, but herre is just whta happened. Tenos-ki tried a line buck, and then faked an injury, while his men line up on the ball. When they were ready, he got to his hands and knees as if he were trying to get up, and then snapped the ball back to Norman, half back, who tried an end run. It was lucky that some of the Vikings were wide-awake, or they might have made more than the nine yards they did make. The play had been good for twenty-five yards or more against other teams. * * * * The football classic "of the year will be played tomorrow when Stanford and U. S. C. mix in the Stanford Bowl at Palo Alto. These two teams are probably the strongest in the United States, and the exhibition they put on will be of interest to a great many more than the eighty-eight thousand who will see it. Neither team has been forced to "open up" yet, so just what they have up their sleeves is still in doubt. The people around here who saw U. S. C. play Washington, think the Trojans are unbeatable, but then "Pop" Warner has a flock of tricks that might easily win for the Stanford Cardinals. * * * * The football fans who have been using the "Scotch Bleachers" at Waldo Field must have received a shock last week when they found their view obstructed by a piece of burlap. A few of the "Scotchier" ones were even foolhardy enough to try to crash the gate in spite of the paddle squad. It is possible that a few might have gotten in, but it is positively known that most of them retired, when they found out that the paddle squad wielded their fists even more expertly than their paddles. In fact one of the "crashers" was carried out feet first, to attest the pugilistic ability of the squad. * * * *. The Vikings got off to a winning start in collegiate competition, last Saturday, when, they took the St. Martin Rangers into camp to the tune of 19 to 0... That is the right spirit, fellows, but -keep it up. * * * * WHO'S WHO! By He Who Knows . This week we will discuss Bill Osborn, a conscientious little fellow "who hails from Franklin High of Seattle. Last year, if you should have happened to walk into the dressing room you undoubtedly would have heard a half dozen men yell, "Hey, Bill! Get me a clean sweat shirt", or something to that effect. As assistant to Eddie Hunicut, Bill continued to act as servant to the different team members throughout the year. This year Bill worked up to being head manager of all the l^iktag teams. This isn't Bill's first ^ear of this kind of work. He acted manager for Franklin High for froSyears;;; v" Lead by "Chuck" Erickson, quarterback, the Bellingham Normal Vikings dashed up and down Waldo Field last Saturday to defeat the St. Martin Rangers 19 to 0, in a high class exhibition of football. The scoring started in the first quarter, when some nice gains by Cardwell and a pass from Erickson to Miller placed the ball on the four-yard line, from where successive line-bucks by Flowers and Erickson put the ball over. Shelton's kick on the try for point was wide. . Pass Scores The second score was made in the early part of the second quarter on a pass from Erickson to Mollan(/ a short pass over the goal line, Erickson had placed the ball in scoring territory when he ran back one of Norman's punts twenty yards to his opponents' ten-yard line. Shelton got off a beautiful place kick for the try for point. For the rest of the second quarter and the early part of the third, the teams battled evenly, but at about the middle of the third quarter the Vikings opened up an aerial attack' that the Rangers couldn't stop. Passes from Erickson to Sherman, Flowers, and Shelton placed the ball on St. Martin's two-yard line, from where Erickson bucked it over for the final score of the day. Shelton's kick failed. Quick Recovers The Vikings had another good chance to score when Quick, substitute center, pounced on a fumble by Bouldren on St. Martin's twenty-nine yard line. The chance was lost, however, when Norman intercepted Erickson's pass and raced forty-five yards to Bellingham's thirty-five yard line before he was brought down. It looked for a while as if he were away for a touchdown, but Erickson did some wonderful playing when he came up from behind and tackled him after eluding half a dozen St. Martin interference men. Critical Moments Even then it looked for a while as if the Rangers were going to score when a fifteen-yard penalty, and gains by Norman and' Mertis, gave them a first down on Bellingham's eight-yard line. At that critical moment Erickson again shone when he dropped on a St. Martin's fumble and then punted out of danger. . A few minutes later Bellingham got the ball on their own twenty-yard line when a Ranger pass over the goal line was incomplete, and a series of passes and end runs by Erickson placed the ball on St. Martin's ten-yard line. Then Bellingham lost the ball on another pass over the goal line and for the rest of the game neither side threatened to score. Erickson Stars Erickson was the Viking's big star while Cardwell also showed lots of class in the backfield. On the line, Stickney looked good at center, as did Miller, Mollan. arid Sherman at ends, and Brunstad at tackle. Tenoski and Norman were the big guns for St. Martin's, although neither one could get through the Vikings' line for big gains. Fraele, who played both in the back field and on the line, also looked good. The Rangers had a trick play in which the backfield man centered the ball on a fake injury from the proceeding play. The Vikings were too wide awake for them to make much yardage on it, however. The Line-ups Bellingham (19) St. Martin's (0) Secret practice is being held by the University of Oregon in preparation for the battle with the Washington Huskies at Seattle, tomorrow. * Eric Forsta is being groomed for the center position in the absence of George Stadleman, who had t he misfortune of breaking his ankle in the Idaho encounter. Baggy Drives Reserves Coach Bagshaw is driving his reserve backs hard and fast, desperately trying to find capable men to penetrate the Oregon defense. Baggy is also facing a grave situation of bolstering the line up at the wing berths. Walter Sahli, veteran end, was hurt very seriously in the fray at W. S. C, last week. He will abandon his moleskin for the season. Bill Snider, another letter-man and end,vwas hurt in the U. S. C. game. He has a 50-50 chance of seeing action. In the event that Bill cannot play an inexperienced end will be elected for the serious task of stopping Oregon's end runs. GREAT ENTHUSIASM FOR FALL SPORTS Intramural Ganies to Start soon; Coaches Will Pick Teams After Thanksgiving; Turnouts Large. It seems the dope is very much against the Huskies but they have been known to upset dope frequently. o . Vikings Meet Savages Tomorrow at Cheney The women s fall sports have record breaking turnouts this' year. The enthusiasm is noteworthy and all are faithful-in the practice turnouts. / Miss Mildred Jewell, who is coach for dancing and hockey, is pleased with the spirit and pep shown, and with the results the conscientous practicing has produced. 57 Girls Dance The 57 girls in the dance class have learned two athletic dances and are now striving to perfect the technique for clogging and t ap steps. After Thanksgiving an all-star team • will be picked by Miss Jewell. Few Hockey Champs There are compartively few experienced hockey players but the new girls are making splendid progress in learning the game. Alice Babcock, head of sport, and Ann Swanson, serve Miss Jewell as assistant coaches. W. A. A. Initiation to be Held in Big Gym; 25 New Members Join (Continued from Page One) men" carry no soft spots in their football hearts, and will strive hard to spoil, from Cheney's standpoint, the main cog in the celebration. As to the comparative strength of the two rival aggregations little can be said, and so far none of the usual dope gatherers have been willing J to risk their reputation by venturing forth with a prediction as to the outcome of the game. Both squads have made enviable records in their games so far this season and neith-. er will have their styles cramped by having players in the "old soldier squad" owing to no early season injuries. Another thing that keeps prophecies in the background is the oft-proven fact that in traditional games both teams play way oyer their heads. Thus early- games give no foundation for comparison before the "big" game. Volley-ball Peppy Volleyball has received the least attention of the sports, but the group interested are most enthusiastic and peppy. Miss Margery Horton feels that ' on the soccer field she has discovered -some' real players. The sophomores represent the majority of the large turnout. Intramural Games Intramural games will soon be under way in all t he sports and after Thanksgiving the coaches will pick their class teams.

WASHINGTON PHILOS SAIL SEAS TO BEGIN SEASON Event Was to be First Red Letter of Philomathean Calendar; Skiff Is Ably Commanded by Lock. "With a Yo Ho Ho and a bottle of White Rock," and other nautical expressions, forty and some odd Philo's put out to sea last Sunday morning from the Bellingham yacht Club dock, on the schooner Thetis, under full press of the canvas. The event inspired the first red letter on the Philomathe-on social calendar. The ship was navigated by Dr. Carl M. Erb, master, and Dr. Nelson Warren, Mate, while Frank Lock, maitre d'hotel, or whatever you call them on the rolling deep, took care of all arrangements. The boat, acording to one enthusiastic Philo sailoress, is equipped with a starboard, a port side, and all of the modern conveniences offered on the finest liners, and which left nothing undone for the roaring seamen. And as a matter of fact, the Thetis being one of the finest private yachts on the Pacific Coast, there was little that could have been addad to the enjoyment of the voyage. A stiff breeze maintained the boat at a fast clip all the way to Sinclair island, where 'the party disembarked and enjoyed a delightful dinner prepared and served at the cabin of the W. A. A. girls. First trip for many The trip was the first to the island cabin for many, and the fine accomodations of the girl athletes received the enthusiastic appreciation of the club members. The return was made in the calm of the evening under the power of the auxiliary motor. Most of the new members only recently admitted to the organization made the trip, as well as Mr. and Mrs. Phil-lippi, club patron and patroness. - o Musical Artists In Annual Appearance ouse Continued from Page One) work in his development of a choir in America equal to any of the historic choirs of Europe.

Mina Hagar Last The last and perhaps the greatest concert of the program will be given by Mina Hager, soloist with ' t h e Chicago Grand Opera Company. Miss Hager is an unusual artist.not-ed for the freshness and novelty of her programs as well as her faith- .ful and vivid interpretation of the composer. With her rich and expressive voice, her vibrant personality and her fine musicianship, she is marked for a still more brilliant career. In fact many critics believe -that there is in this woman far more than she herself expects—more voice, more fire, more passion. Y. W. The Y. W. C.

Dr. Will Durant, author of "The Story of Philosophy," and formerly of the Department of Philosophy, Columbia University, will give a lecture;'' Is! Democracy a Failure ?" Friday, January 27, in the State Normal School auditorium. A man who delivered twenty addresses 6ri psychology at.. Wadleigh High school which drew capacity audiences of 1300 to each lecture throughout the course; a man who lias attracted large audiences at the Brooklyn Y. M. C. A., the Jewish Centers in Brooklyn, N. Y., and Cleveland, O., Ford Hall and the Old South Church .in Boston, the Buffalo Historical spciety, the Milwaukee Open Forum, etc.; and a man who lias asked that the usual selection of laudatory '-'comments" concerning liis lectures be omitted,—such a man is Will Durant. Variety of Subjects Offered From the large variety of subjects which Dr. Durant offers ten have been chosen as the -most likely to interest. Of tli'ese ten, "Is Democracy ti Failure" has been chosen as his subject here. This which will be discussed by Dr. Durant, deals with the present unsatisfactory results of democracy. A suggestion for enabling democracy to iitilize a genius in politics as well as in industry will be discussed in Will Durant's talk. , A Reporter at One Time Will Durant has not always been a lecturer, as he worked as reporter on the Ne wYork Evening Journal at one time found the life top fast for a philosopher and "retired" to the slower pace of Professor of Latin, Greek, French, English and other languages at Seton Hall College, South Orange, IT.' J. He received his degree of PluD. after taking up graduate work in philosophy, biology and psychology at Columbia from 1913 to 1917. "The attractiveness of Dr. Durant's lectures may be judged from the fact that his book. "The Story of Philos-opty" which is composed of lectures given' a t Labor Temple, became the best: selling non-fiction book in America within three weeks of its publication, and still leads the list at the present writing." "Is Democracy a Failure?" • In the speed), "Is Democracy a •Failure?" Dr. Durant will probably idiscuss present _ day problems in terms of his philosophy. In terms •of his present day point of view as 'discussed in the conclusion of "The •StPry of = Philosophy" Dr. Durant believes^ in speaking- of democracy, {that, ..''No doubt we have grown .faster than nations usually have grown; and the disorder of our souls is due to the rapidity of our development. We are like youths disturbed and unbalanced, for} a time, by; the sudden growth and experiences of puberty: /But soon bur maturi t y ? will come; bur minds will catch up with our bodies, our culture with pur possessions. • Perhaps there are greater; souls than Shakespeare!s and greater: minds: than Plato's, waiting ;tp; be born.•-;'; When; we have learned ; to reverence liberty as well as l iweelth,•;.' we•;; 'too ;';shall have; our ^Renaissance!^ ' Iv -:v:; if QWLER SPEAKS BEFORE SWHATC^MIHIGH GROUP y$|;ifeS^vi'liirrh;school's animal were presented ^ ^^^'f^pM^-'^-M'M9lll^i rchairmair;of:. the; lllil|St$Ban^ en,s Dance Next ay Introducing a practically new idea, the Women's^Lea^e^s giving as m s quarter's party, a winter Tea-Dancey Tuesday, January 24, from. 4:00 to 5:30; in the Social Hall of Eden's Hall.

Since this is an afternoon affair, students are urged to come immediately after their 3:00 classes. 4:00 classes on that date are few and will be dismissed so all may attend. Those who come early have the best chances to get in on all the fun.

STUDENTS HURT BY DRIVERLESS AUTO Wesley Field, formal student and well known athlete, suffered serious injury and the loss of his left leg, and Earl Jewell, assistant coach, was badly bruised Tuesday evening when a Buick coupe belonging to Anna J. Petersen, Normal instructor, ran away on High street, in front of Edens hall, crossing the sidewalk, scooping up Field and crashing into Sunset Lodge, 619 High street, with him on the bumper. Field who was immediately rushed to St. Luke's hospital, is on the road to recovery, according to latest re~ ports. At first it was feared that shocks from the loss, of his leg loss of blood, a broken collar bone and bodily injuries, might prove fatal to him, but his excellent physical condition and "nerve" carried him through. Jewell, suffering from leg bruises, is already out of,bed, but will be on crutches for about ten days. From the stories of eye witnesses and others near the scene of the accident, it appears that Miss Petersen's car, which was parked on the upper side of High street in front of Edens Hall, was bumped from the rear and started down the hill when its brakes were loosened by the impact! It crossed the street, mounted the curb and was almost on Field, Jewell, and Bernard Sullivan and Al Brown, who were returning home from basketball practice, before it was seen by any of the group. Sullivan, Brown and Jewell jumped to the side, Jewell being struck by the car as he jumped, but Field, who was in the middle, was caught on the bumper and carried by the car until it jammed into the small porch of Sunset Lodge. In the impact his left leg was' practically severed midway between the foot and the knee. He was rapidly losing blood when pulled from under the'car by several Normal students, but was rushed to the. hospital, where his leg, was immediately amputated; His recovery seems assured. $qua^of N i^ St Martins O^ The Viking Varsity will undergo its first critical test of, the season when it travels to Seattle; and Lacey to play the fast University Frosri and St. Martin's quintets Friday and Saturday respectively.

Post Graduate of Normal Will Open Whistling Studio Ellsworth Luniley, who is- taking a post graduate course at the Bellingham Normal; from which' he graduated in 1924, has announced that he will give whistling lessons in Bellingham. Mr. Lumley will open a studio in. the Fine Arts building next Tuesday, employing four different well-tried methods. Mr. Lumley is a whistler and bird-caller and in the. Northwest has won an enviable reputation in that field. On Puget Sound he lias demonstrated before 12,000 school children. He has appeared in the schools of Bellingham, and Friday afternoon will fill aji engagement in Lynden's schools. February 8 he will appear at Fairhaven High school and about February 15 at .Whatcom High. Galoshes No Goof ier Than the ::;—'.;' . ,':,'•.''• :•':• .',';•;':';.,; gt; '.':';; •-.•~''-\ :.'•.'

Millard Sutherlen Elden Bond Bob Waters ;S -Basketball will this week come into its own as the major sport of the Avinter with the opening of the Viking conference schedule. When the EHensbiirg/Wildcats appear on the Fairhaven High floor^next Thursday evening in the first game of the Tri-Normal titular series, Bellingham will know indeed that the king of indoor sports is again reigning supreme upon his throne. N ^ B e h i n d the five flashing figures in blue who will appear on the court will be the support and hopes of an entire Bellingham Normal School student body whose uppermost desire will be the retaining of the Basketball championship so gloriously^ annexed for the first time by the Vikings last year. Last week we suggested that a budget system might aid in straightening put the deficit that exists in the funds of the Associated Student Body. We are informed that at present, we, the students, are somewhere in the neighborhood of two thousand dollars in arrears. The funds most deeply drawn from are those spent upon athletics and social affairs. The problem is not only to prevent further deficits but to make up that already in the red. Plainly we appear to be trying to do too much with what w.e have. "But we are in the position of the man who grabbed the bear's tail; we can't let go. We have set certain standards in the field of athletics and in the matter of entertainments which would seem suicidal to abandon. What the Messenger would plead for is a thorough survey of all student funds spent during the past three years and a comprehensive analys i s of the amounts spent on various activities. Following this, an evaluation of the various activities and an apportioning of funds in relation to their relative importance. From the report of how money was spent in the past a, detailed budget of all money to be spent during the year should" be made, adjusted by the" estimate of funds to be received from all sources. This latter estimate could be made from the report of receipts of previous years. After the budget was made it would be necessary to strictly adhere to it. v The present method of budgeting is loose. The student funds are Budgeted quarterly among four items. Each item receives a certain part of the five dollar student activity fee. For example, the Weekly Messenger will receive seventy-five cents out of very five-dollar fee this quarter. The three other items are designated as athletics, entertainment, and social life. Further than"that apportioning there is no attempt made to regulate the amounts spent on various functions. The result is the present deficit. At present it is too easy for various school organizations to dip then-fingers into the student treasury and there is not enough supervision of the way they spend the money after receiving it. The application of a few good business principles to the conduct of our student affairs is what we suggest. Birds (the Feathered Variety) Flock to Frost-Covered Campus By ,- Ellsworth Lumley • Nature lovers will find a great many interesting places to go to at this time'of the year that are near/ .Bellingham. The trail up Chuckanut is good, and the hill is worth climbing -for the beautiful view of all the surrounding country. The trail to Lost Lake is now a bit muddy, yet the hike is well worth taking. The lake is small and set-in a tract of 'timber that has never been cut. To anyone who enjoys hiking through dense forests this trip is especially appealing. • Some interesting birds may be seen, while on these hikes that are hot seen about the campus. On January 7 a flock of Oregon Jays or Camp Robbers were seen on the summit of Ghuckanut. These birds do hot have the timid nature of most birds and are quick to make friends with man. They received the name Camp Robbers; because they will go '••o camps and steal all food that -v in sight, often eating off the tables with the men. We do not need to leave our campus to study bird life however, for the following birds were recorded on the campus this last week: Robins, Flickers, Juncos, Song Sparrows, English Sparrows, Crows, Seattle Wrens, Winter Wrens, Varied Thrushes, Golden-crowned Kinglets, Towhees, and Blue Jays. It is interesting to note that the first Robins recorded here this year were seen last Sunday, January 15. A few plans are materializing that may make this campus a real bird sanctuary. It seems to be the accepted opinion that the greatest work can be done by the training school pupils under the* guidance of the Science Department. Bird houses aud bird baths must be put up this spring if,/.ye are to attract the birds this summer. .

"In Denver INstopped over for ^yo days with a college friend. We went up into the mountains and did a lot of tobogganing. It was very cold and there, was lots of snow but we did not notice the temperature because the sun shone so brightly. None of the was decorated .very much for Christmas. '. The capitol buildings at Denver were dressed in holiday decorations and in Boston on Beacon Hill the homes were lovely with Christmas wreaths and candles placed in the windows. The streets on Beacon Hill are quaint, narrow, cobblestoned ones. On Christmas Eve there were' carollers." Miss Johnson stayed at Wellesley College for a few days and went through the dormitories at both Wellesley and Columbia ' .University in New York. At Wellesley, all the frosh houses are off the campus," she continued^' and so it is the ambition of all the freshmen girls.to live on the campus.

BELUNGHAM; WASHINGTON Viking Sport CLOSE MIX IS WON BY Y.M.C.A. QUINTET OVER SUPER VARSITY Although Playing Ragged Ball, Normal Supers Manage to Get Within Two^Points of Y. M. Y. M. C. A. CHECKS WELL Supers Come Back in Second Half and Thereaten Opponents but Fall Short; McBeath Leads. CLASS A LEAGUE STANDING Team Won Lost Y. M. C. A 2 0 Normal Supers 1 1 Koeland Wreckers 1 1 Baker Lumberyard 0 2 Playing ragged basketball throughout the entire game the Normal Super Varsity fell before the smoother-working y . M. C. A. machine on the Y.M. floor last Wednesday evening by the score of 27 to 29. The Y.M.O.A. quintet jumped into an early lead. McBeth, sturdy forward for the. -winners sunk a pair of pretty long ones from the center of the floor followed by Harris, who sneaked one in from under the basket. The Normal's offense refused to function and due to the close checking of the Y. M. squad they were unable to locate the hoop very consistently. The first half ended with the Y.M.C.A. leading 10 to 11. Second Half The Supers came back with a little more pep in the last half and began closing the gap between the two scores and threatened seriously to take the lead on several occasions. A last minute rally fell short by two points when the time-keeper's gun ended the fray as the score stood 27 to 29 in favor of the Y. M. C. A. quintet. Scoring Honors McBeth held high scoring honors for the fray gaining 11 counters for the winners while Chuck Erickson was second for the .Supers with S points. Sweed Anderson goaled six markers for the Normalites while Harris and Bateman both made six points for the Y. M. C. A. quintet. The game was a poor exhibition of basketball with the Super's offense breaking slow and their defense weak and inconsistant. In an earlier game of the evening the Roland Wreckers defeated the Baker Lumberyard 48 to 33. The Lineups Normal— J. M. c. A. Erickson, 8 F 11, McBeth Benson, 4 F 6, Harris Hawkins, 3 C 2, Peterson Anderson, 6 G G, Bateman Geri 2 G 4, Hughes Subs: Clark, 2; Whalen, 1; Jewell, 2.

M. C. A. court, last Friday evening. •, The lowly Legionnaires came on the floor with a determined spirit, giving the Jayvees a serious scare when they threatened to take the lead on several occasions. Fisher and Lundberg were high point men of the fray with 13 markers apiece. Thorlackson was next with 11 points. The losers played a real smooth game with the scoring evenly divided. FOLLOW-UPS By Sully Harry. Benson and Art Isaacson promise to be as good a pair of guards as ever cavorted on a Blue and White team. Both are veterans and combine all the good points of a guard with the minimum of faults. When at a game notice who of the opposing team has the most disgusted look. No doubt he is Art's man and due for a scoreless evening. A forward hates a guard who is a scoring threat and "HEB" is just that, often converting more points than his opponent. * * * * Here is a New Year's Resolution, at least he says it was made at that time... Frank Gallenger, crack distance man of last year, resolved to run the half mile xinder 2:03 and lower the Tri-Normal record... He has backed this resolution with one si-moleon, so aspiring distance men need beware. * e * * "Glorious Apollo" Geri says, " I am tired of 'skidding slivers' and wish the much heralded Super and Junior Varsity mix would materialize.' " My playing would no doubt vindicate all thoughts of "inferior" J-V's usurping my place, on the bench of the Supers. * * » * Two varsity aspirants are making a great fight for the forward berth left vacant by Odell, veteran of two years. These two men are distinctly different types; one has worlds of speed, is clever and a good shot anywhere on the floor. The other is a fine passer, good on short shots and very aggressive. The former is "Zeke" McClurken and the latter is Jack Harper. It will be interesting to. note who finally pairs up with "Keppy".

Whatcom was at the short end of a 17 to 10 score at the end of the first half, but the North-siclers soon found themselves and began piling up the scores which finally ended in a victory. Fairhaven started with a bang, being led by their fast forward. Bob Chatterton. The Grizzlies swung into the .game as wras predicted and tearing through the Redskin defense, stacked up a nine to two lead when the first one-minute period was called. Both teams started out with tremendous energy in the final period, the score was changing hands almost constantly. The Redskins were leading 19 to 18 as the final quarter began and through undaunted determination and pluck were leading by the same margin as the final guu popped. The Lynden five slipped Mt. Baker a' 17 to 14 drubbing at Deming, Friday. The game came as an upset after the Mt. Baker showing against Fairhaven the preceding Tuesday evening. The game was fast and rough, Lynden holding a 10 to 8 lead at the first half and maintaining this lead throughout the contest. Blaine had an easy time of it running through Fern dale in their own gym and wiping up the latter 49 to 11. This leaves Blaine an undisputed lead in the county. Other county games were Nook-sack 24, Custer 11; Sumas -34, Harmony 14; Meridian 22, Maple Falls 21. VANADIS BRAGI GOP FIRST HALF BY GREAT PLAYING Score Tied at Half Time; Co-ops No Match for Smooth Functioning Team of the Winners. Intra-Mural Standing Won Lost Pet.

As it is necessary for one team to lead, a Co-Op vs. Vanadis Bragi contest took place Monday afternoon in the little gym, the winner of which was to play leading team of the second half of the leagiie when the time comes. Vanadis Bragi Cops One of the fastest, most gruelling-battles of intra-mural history occurred when the two league leaders, the Co-Ops and the Vanadis Bragi cagers met to decide who would carry off honors. The conflict as seen by the large crowd of spectators that overflowed the* gym, was close with neither team having a decided advantage until the final whistle blew leaving the Vanadis Bragi ahead by the score of 21 to 14. The Co-Ops started the game with a field goal, and managed to keep in the lead throughout most of fhe first half. When the time keeper eimed the first canto the score was 10 to 10.

Officers ' f o r Red Arrow Not Yet Named At the first meeting, of the quarter, held Monday night, the Scribes blub elected officers for the winter term. Vernon Vine was elected president, replacing Alice Endsley, who declined nomination for re-election. Rosa Ott was elected vice president, and was also appointed chairman of the program committee. Florence Maris is the new secretary of the club while Selma Myhr will represent the club at the Student Organization Council. The editor, business manager, and circulation manager of the Red Arrow, quarterly literary publication of the club, were not elected at the meeting, but will be chosen at the next assembly of the club, which has been announced for January 30. The club has sent out a call for new members, the tryout consisting of a poem, essay, or short story, submitted in manuscript form. The manuscripts will not be - accepted after January 30, the club has announced, the first notice of the try-out being given two weeks previous to the final date. These manuscripts are judged by H. E. Fowler, head of the English department, and advisor to the club. The final report of the Red Arrow was heard at the meeting, and shows a fair balance after all indebtedness is paid for the publication of issues for the last two quarters. The secretary of the club was instructed to write letters of thanks to both George Sherman, business manager, now at the University of Washington, and to Mary Hibner, former student, who aided materially in the publication of the last issue of the magazine. Plans are being made for the programs of meeting for the next quarter, and hope was expressed by the officers that the activities will be greater than ever before. Items which are planned include book reports on current works, criticism of student written works, study of various types of literature, and a study of magazine publication. o Georges Enesco Will Play Soon \V.

Several members of the football team as well as others who "forgot" the initiation'last spring were shown into the intricacies of the club. All those present reported a highly interesting evening; many of the older members expressing it as a "howling success." Cider and doughnuts were served to old and new men after which several impromptu speeches, expounding the principles of the "W" Club were given by old members and Coach Sam Carver.

One newspaper critic said of his Saint- Saens numbers. "They sparkled and dimpled and smirked." In the Call and Post of San Francisco, the following appeared: "Nardini's D major sonata, the opening' number here., is one of the classics of the "Golden Age,' giving Enesco an opportunity for the exhibition of a big tone in really difficult music. It was written by a violinist at the height of his powers for the satisfaction of masters of that instrument." Of his encore numbers, another critic states, "His extra numbers averaged as high musical quality as his printed list." o— SOCIAL NOTES The Y. M. C. A. held their monthly party Friday evening in the club room of Edens hall. Miss Beatrice Burton planned the evening's program, assisted by .Miss Constance Frieling. After everyone had been introduced to everyone else, seats were arranged in rows and the .- Sleepy Hollow school was called to order. Bringing to memory our early school days the members participated accordingly. Refreshments . were served as school lunches and the party, adjourned. A Pajama party was held Wednesday evening when the new girls in the dormitory were initiated. 1 Each of the 19 candidates was required to dress as an animal and make a short talk. The circus idea was the theme of the evening's entertainment.

They will particularly notice the planet Jupiter and the moon, although the moon will not be at its best for observation at this time. The classes will do their observing through the school telescope, which has a 3%-inch objective lense, with different magnifying powers. It is a portable telescope, which is usually taken out on the campus for the Science department. Mr. Philippi has requested that all members of the Science classes be present at the observations, as they are .of great importance in the term work. Mrs. F. M. Halbert of Tacoma was a week-end guest of Miss Dorothy Halbert. Miss Inez Ebert entertained two guests over the week-end, her sister, Mrs. Earl' Hungerford from La Grande, Oregon, and Miss Agnes Hunter, a 1926 graduate of Bellingham Normal who is now living in Kent.

S. B. to Take Percentage Activity Profits VICTOR H. HOPPE Large School Party Leaves At Two o'clock for HanneganPass Last of Year's Week-end Trips to Mt. Baker Region Scheduled Start Today; Bond in Charge of Group Expected Exceed Fifty in Number; Return Sunday Catherine Wade Smith to Appear Here Friday in Regular Assembly Substantial changes in Student's Association regulations regarding awards for athletics and debate were highlights of the regular weekly meeting of the Board of Control, held Wednesday morning. As a result of the changes, which will be incorporated in next year's Blue Book and the Students' Association constitution, requirements for athletic letters in men's athletics will be more closely checked upon and debate awards will be harder to earn. At a future meeting of the Board, women's athletic awards also will come in for revision. Probably the ,most outstanding changes in existing regulations were made in connection with men's athletics. Heretofore blue slip-over sweaters will be given to all men earning their-first letters in any given sport. Second-year men, that is, those winning' their second letters in one sport, will be given choice of the slip-over or the standard blue coat-sweater now awarded. The same rule applying to second-year men will be in effect for third and fourth-year letter winners.. To men competing in Supervarsity and Jayvee basketball who "have played in at least ten minutes in each of twelve halves in regularly scheduled games will go the light wool slip-overs minus stripes and carrying the team name, awarded this year. Twelve Hours Required To earn any of these awards, an athlete must make at least twelve 'hours credit in the quarter in which he participated. This regulation will be rigidly enforced. The question of women's athletic sweaters and the requirements for earning them is being worked over by the W. A. A., but''changes making it easier to win these sweaters are expected within the next few weeks. With varsity debaters this year receiving the official school ''Bar W" pin, and class credit in addition, there was a general feeling in the Board the importance of the activity no longer justified the award received. Therefore, it was voted that all first year debaters should receive a plain "Bar W" with "debate" written across the face, and second year participants should be awarded the pin now given—the "Bar W" with pearls inset and a chain and scroll attached. Probabilities are that no class credit .will in the futurfc' be given. Likewise, the loving cup now specified in the constitution for* all second year debaters will no longer be given. The debate question has long been' open for discussion since the winning of the Allison Cup, the discontinuance of Tri-Normal debating, and the. subsequent eclipse of debate activities. With .debate now evidently on an upward trend, it was felt that the re-defining of awards would finally settle the question. Therefore: vthe changes. A. S. B. Takes Percentage Since it has been the trend during the past two years for the Students' Association to let contracts to stu- HELEN SULLIVAN RALPH JOHNSON Hibner Is Winner Mary Hibner was awarded first prize, George Heath second, and Joy Eftland third, in the. poster contest sponsored by the business management of the "Merchant of Venice." Owing to the lack of time in Tuesday's assembly, the winners were not announced until this morning. According to one of the judges, Miss Hibner's poster was awarded first prize because she had used color more effectively than had the other contestants. The poster which won second prize is unusually forcefully drawn. It is entirely in black and white. The work of the third contestant shows exceptional ability in composition, but is weak in color and technique. Mary Hibner, winner of the first prize, is an old student here. She has attended part of the- time for several years and will graduate from the three vear course .this summer. At two o'clock this afternoon, instead of four o'clock, as previously announced, a Normal school party of about fifty persons, including fifteen faculty members and a like number of students from the Puget Sound Biological Station at Friday Harbor, will leave the campus by stage, bound for the town of Shuk-san in the Mount Baker district, and ultimately, Hannegan Pass. Probably the best of Bellingham Normal's week-end trips is this one, which is to consume the major portion of three days, to be spent in reaching Hannegan Pass, in one of the most beautiful scenic wonderlands to be found anywhere, exploring the region of the Pass and returning to Bellingham. Late Sunday evening is the date scheduled for the arrival here of the party. The Pass is located ten and • one-half miles northeast of the Mount Baker highway at Shuksan and is in a rarely-visited region noted for its beauty and state of preservation from the hand of man. There wild flowers and mountain life abound. Untouched timber, avalanche districts, glacial torrents, waterfaHs, mountain gorges, and innumerable mountain peaks many of them little known and unnamed, all help to make the vicinity of the Pass a true fairyland. » Plans Changed The trip will be made in a slightty different manner than in the past. With the party leaving here at two o'clock and arriving at Shuksan about' five, there will be ample time to hike four miles up the Hannegan Pass trail, to the eighteen-mile post (from Glacier), where camp for_the night will be made. Hitherto, Friday evening has been spent at Swamp Creek, less than a mile up the trail, but E. A. Bond, faculty member in charge of the trip, decided that it would be worthwhile, to break up the long hike to the Pass, thus allowing more time at the Pass itself. Therefore the division of the hike up into four mile and six and one-half mile portions. The Pass will be reached Saturday morning, permanent camp will be made there, then the party will break up, leaving students and faculty members alike to do as they please. Mr. Bond will lead a small group down into the Chilliwack valley on a fishing trip, and that is the only thing planned for the afternoon. There will undoubtedly be a climb to the top of Goat Mountain, just to the north of the pass, sometime during the day. Sunday morning, all those who wish will climb Ruth Mountain, a miniature Mount Baker, adjacent to the Pass, and noted for the splendid view from its summit and its famous half-mile snow slide. The return trip down the trail to Shuksan will be made Sunday afternoon, supper will be eaten there, and the whole party will embark for the return stage trip to Bellingham. Mr. Bond urges all those making the trip to take a minimum number of blankets rolled tightly and as small a pack as possible, in order to avoid making the pack train too large. On this trip it is necessary to transport all personal belongings and camp supplies by pack horse, and pack horses are rather costly, he wishes to keep down the number. At that, lie expects to take along eight or nine horses. Catherine Wade Smith already world famous violinist, will Appear before the regular assembly a week from today. Miss Smith is a local girl whose continued study and practice has gained for her a reputation as a remarkable violinist. She plays a fifteen-thousand-dollar Stradivar-ius violin of 1775 which was presented to her by Mr. E. B. Deming of this city last June. It is from Franz Ries's estate, which possessed three of these violins. Zimbalist has one, while the third is still owned by the estate. She began her successful career when six and one-half years old. In 1920 Leon Sametoni, famous Belgian master, sent her to Chicago to study. She was in Chicago five years and in that time won all her tuition in scholarships and two five-hundred dollar violins. These prizes gave her two appearances with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra at Orchestra Hall, and since then she has appeared five more times with them. In 1925 she won the National Federation of Music Clubs contest held at Portland, Oregon. This prize gave her a tour of the United .States and five hundred dollars. As a direct result of this the National Music League accepted her as an artist and handles her management.

Relations between China and Japan as well as relations between the Orient and the United States led in interest during the latter j gt;art of the week. Conferences throughout the week were aimed to result in a better understanding of the situations on the rim of the Pacific, in order to cultivate the pathway' to Peace. National Boycott In China Dr. C. C. Wu, of China, former Minister of Foreign Affairs said in an address on the Foreign Policies of the Chinese Government, "There is now a national boycott, in. China against Japan, hoping to make the Japanese realize. that good will is more important than a small slice of property."

Garland Okerlund Elsie Holland Carrie Crippen Calym Nichols Ernest Banner Christine Fredrickson Dorothy Sasse ROMANTIC OR MODERN DRESS? According to an explanation made this week by V. H. Hoppe, the real reason why the "Merchant of Venice", Drama Club quarterly play, to be presented here next Wednesday and Thursday, will be given in romantic rather than modern dress, is because of the "archaic revenge theme", in the words of the director. "This type of theme,' says Mr. Hoppe, "calls for a romantic aloofness-. We will accept it only when we believe that it happened long ago. We are trying to give the true spirit of the Elizabethan stage, modernized, of course, because we feel that the modern student is losing some of the beauty of the romantic drama." . "In traditional or romantic dress?" That question was put up to the student body in assembly a few weeks ago, and by an overwhelming majority the student body voted that it favored the traditional type of costume for the "Merchant of Venice.' And so it will be. Throughout the discussions of world problems in the Institute of International Relations reference was made to the extreme importance of the Church* and Religion in International Relations by non-rehgious workers. wMimmer Meditations Dr. Tasuku Harada, of the University of Hawaii, says that much can be done to cultivate understanding by conferences. ^i o- Bellingham Normal was complimented by officials of the Institute on having such a large delegation which,' according to officials, was exceedingly unusual for schools of this kind. o — The problem of educating public opinion through the newspaper becomes great when we are faced with the problem that the status of the news department of a paper is remaining intermediate and the entertainment features are increasing. Hortense Yule, Bellingham Soprano, Will Entertain at Assembly, Tuesday Miss Hortense Yule one of Bel-lingham's most talented young musicians, will be presented in recital in next Tuesday's assembly accompanied on the piano by Mrs. Hazel Hammer Hill. Her lyric soprano voice has been cultivated by many of the leading vocal teachers of the United States, her first two years being at home with Harrison Raymond. She then went to Chicago and studied in the College of Music, winning while there a scholarship for her excellent work. Her next teacher was W. J. Henderson of New York City, one of the greatest musical, critics in America. Two year's study with Madame Esperanza Garrigue has completed her work so far, but in August ]\iiss Yule has already mastered the soprano roles in several operas. Her program will be: Vedrai, Carino Mozart asciatemi Morire Monteverde La Girornetta Sibella Casta Diva (Norma) Bellini Songs My Mother Taught Me Dvorak The Last Rose of Summer (request) ; English Air Oh, Quand je dors '.

It wishes to determine whether or not our own house is made of glass before we are intrigued into throwing stones at the Sedro-Woolley institution which is now in process of being overhauled by the order of our Governor.

WASHINGTON VIKINGS W i l l CLASH WITH UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON BASEBALL TEAM WEDNESDAY Arrangements for a two-game baseball series between Bellingham Normal and the University of Washington has just been completed by Coach Sam Carver. According to terms agreed upon by coaches of tho two schools, the first game will be played here August 8 and the return game at the University August 15. Intramural ball has given Coaches Carver and Jewell an opportunity to look over the material and a fairly strong team should be placed in the field according to early indications. Several turnouts are planned for this week and next to put the team on edge for the first game next Wednesday. Patterson, star hurler for two years, should be able to hold down the pitching department in good shape with Ruthruff ready to step in if a relief hurler is needed. Coach Jewell states that the catching department is strong, witli Gudmunson and Bieghle who have been showing up well in intramural games, and Okerlund and Baxter who earned their stripes performing behind the bat for this institution in former years Infield material seems plentiful. Kure, one of Tealey's pets, will be on hand and will undoubtedly hold down short stop position. Frank's hitting and fielding ability will probably give him an inside track on the hot corner but such men as Anderson, Arnett, and Stewart will give him some stiff competition for this job. Second base should present no trouble with Bond, Thomas, and Schneider, all working for a free pass to Seattle via the second base route, which assures some lively competition here. All these have been showing up well in the games played this year. First base presents the most serious problem of the infield, but workouts this wek should help to remedy this. Norby has been showing a great deal of improvement in his fielding although Vanderford's hitting ability may give him an edge on the position. A heavy hitting combination should be selected to rove the gardens . from such names as Fisher, Bieghle, Church, Peterson, Gallenger, Gaither, and Moggatt. There are several others who have been playing good ball and may upset the dope and walk away with one of the prize positions. Last year Bellingham triumphed over Tubby Grave's nine in the annual summer school tussle but it is reported that this year will see a strong team representing the purple and the gold and a close game is expected when they clash in the first game next Wednesday. E. Jewell, Brock, Vert, Winners in Handball Games A renewed interest in handball seems to have sprung up and reports of tournament games have been coming in thick and fast. Brock failed in his attempt to dethrone Earl Jewell when the latter won the match 21-9 and 21-6. • Brock later defended third place successfully when he defeated Ruthruff in two close games 21-15 and 21-18. Vert, who has been hovering around the lower regions for some time moved up two places when he defeated Okerlund 11-9 and 11-8. Vert has been spending a great deal of time on the handball courts lately and his game is getting to the.point where he will be able to give the leaders some stiff competition. The names are now in the following order on the ladder: E. Jewell, R. Jewell, Brock, Vert,, Ruthruff, Okerlund, Baxter, Van Etten, and Franz o WOMEN'S TENNIS TOURNAMENT Standings on the ladder in the women's tennis tournament Wednesday afternoon were: Bever, Kreisher, Dalgity, Tubbs, Moore, Primley, Craw, . Anderson, H. Sullivan, Hel-land, Heath; and WJ, Sullivan. ..\ B OTTLED y BOND WASTED—TWO HOURS ; (AH for 25 cents and you get it for nothing. Lucky public, lucky!) "PATHE NEWS" Baxter's infants gained a victory from. Beighle's Busters, as adolescent psychology was proven to be all wrong. The Busters failed to crack out the apple pitched up by the mighty Patterson. They fanned the air, they tore their hair, and they maligned Sam's character, but to no avail. The language utilized reminded one of the top row of the typewriter. The Busters were busted and the babies are even now crying for joy. "TOPICS OF THE DAY" In many European countries— the Women—Work in the fields— when the harvest—has ben cut—it is tied—in bundles—the women carry—as many of these bundles —as possible—on the back of their necks1—when a man—starts looking for a wife—he picks her out— on the strength—of her neck. T'is said—this custom—isnl carried out—in this country—but iheyre all Wet—Ha! Joke? "COMEDY" This scene is laid in the library. It represents the trials and hardships suffered by the Library force in their effort to kep order. In order to achieve this. Roy enters with six (0) shot guns and one (1) falcon: Dean has thirty-one custard pies hid behind the desk: and Bob is getting the magazines in order for the coming battle. The battle occurs (happens). It continues. At 9:30 P. M. the simple closing and locking of a door ends this unhappy episode. This struggle for knowledge that results in the survival of the fittest. "FEATURE PICTURE" "INTERMISSION" (Wanted: A reporter to fill this space.) "A CEREAL by the name of 'Corn Flakes'." Synopsis of preceding chapters: Horatio Harkaway, Jr., a poor cheese breeder's son, starts out for the city to make his fortune. As he trudges along the dusty road, he encounters Colonel Corn, the jug and still magnate, parked beside the road with a flat tire. Horatio, whose middle name is Gallahad, leap's upon the running board, thinking to save the poor girl but at this moment a newsboy appears. The dam has broken and a fifty-foot wall of water is sweeping clown the valley! But the running . board never slackens its pace, plunging on and on until at last its oaken heart bursts, it staggers and Horatio hops off, ^thinking to land by the roadside but landing in Patagonia instead, due to engine trouble and a twisted tail skid. In the meantime, Rawstark has declared- war upon Psycho-Analysis and the land trembles with the tread of marching armies. The price of cheese is falling and a heavy fog is blowing in from the back yard. And into the ruck of these turbulent affairs walks innocent little Alice, home from Grand Mound for the Easter holidays.—To be continued next week.

Contestants in the men's intramural tennis tournament continued in their apathetic state duting the past week, and as a result only one match was played. In that, Bob Fisher, who has held the top rung of the ladder against all comers since the opening day of the tournament, easily downed Earle Jewell, who challenged him from third place, the scores were: 6-1, 6-2. Fisher had little trouble in winning his sets, although Jewell ran many of the games to deuce before succumbing Standings on the ladder remain the same, with Fisher in front, Norby in second and Jewell in third, followed in order by. Ray Jewell, Bond, and Boynton. Other contestants on the lower half of the ladder also continued in their lethargy. NORMALITES LEAD IN CITY NET PLAY Normal men and ex-stars continue to occupy prominent places in the City Tennis Tournament, now slowly progressing toward .the final rounds. Only one singles match was played during the week just past and a like number of doubles matches. Normal men figured in both of these.

TUESDAY ASSEMBLY Holding her hearers breathless from scene to scene, Sarali Truax Albert presented one of the most unusual ana fascinating of the summer assemblies, Tuesday forenoon, when she read O'Neil's masterpiece, "Emperor Jones". The play is one of intense dramatic interest and Mrs. Albert, "Sarali Truax", read it with such feeling that the audience was distinctty heard to draw a long breath at the close of each of the eight scenes. Th story deals with a negro, formerly a porter now an escaped convict who has made himself emperor of a small state opposite Martinique. It is on the eve of his downfall, he knows it, but believes that he .will outwit them and play on their superstition enough to get away to the coast with his "roll.' Alone in the darkness, making good his escape, his own superstitious nature overcomes him and he is driven by it, running madly, shooting until Ins last cartridge is gone, travelling in a circle which leaves him,at daylight no farther from his enemies than' he was the night before, and there he is killed. Sarah Truax appears before the student body here and before other student bodies, in behalf of the sj gt;oken drama, making an appeal in acting more eloquent than logic for an art that sterns doomed to oblivion. FORMER STUDENTS VISIT Betty Hutcliesfti and Catherine Watts, Bellingham graduates of 1925, were visitors at Edens Hall on Saturday. Both girls are attending the University of Washington this summer. - —-—-—o -...

Carolyn Barron challenged Grace Hess and was defeated by a score of 25-11 and 25-20. This victory for Hess did not change her place as she was one point above Barron anyway. The case was practically the same in regard to the Burton-Holland' match when Gladys Burton challenged Elsie Holland and was defeated to the tune of 23-25, 25-21 and 13-25.

The eleventh year will begin the day after tomorrow.. , I t is at this time fitting that a suggestion be made to visit the Peace Arch at Blaine, Washington. On the international boundary line, now twenty-two miles from Belling- - ham, is this monument depicting perpetual peace held for over one hundred years between the United States and Canada. Scores of students here from way points in other states know nothing of the Peach Arch. It was here that Marshal FoclFof France plead for the continuation of this example of Peace to the world. '•' Visit the Peace Portal this Sunday. It is only a half hour's drive to the international boundary line. s » * * WE MARVEL AT THE LONG-WINDEDNESS OF POLITICAL CANDIDATES IN THEIR CAMPAIGNS.

IS SENSATION "Salute Demeure" from Faust, by Gounod Displays the Power and Rich Tone Qualities of Voice. The renowned singer, Louis Graveure, gave proof of his master musicianship in -a recital given a t the First Christian church, Wednesday, November 7. He was presented by the Bellingham State Normal school and the Bellingham Women's Music Club. One of the most remarkable phenomena of the music world is found in the fact that Louis Graveure's well-established baritone voice has changed to tenor and he is opening this season's concert tour singing a, new repertoire in the tenor range. I n singing the aria: "Salute demeure" from Faust,.by Gounod, he expressed the power and rich tone qualities of his voice. The delicate, soft, dramatic tones were well brought out in "Songs My Mother Taught _ Me", by Dvorak and "Passing By" by Purcell. His program was well balanced and enlivened by several humorous »encore songs and by his interpretation of "The Lephrebaum," an Irish folk song. He was accompanied by Elli-zabeth Alexander at the Haddorff piano. Makes Tenor Debut Louis Graveure created a tremendous sensation in New York City when on Febrauary 5, 1928, a few days after his last recital as a baritone he made his debut as a tenor. Graveure will be re-engaged for a long season at t h e State Opera in Berlin next spring as leading tenor. He made his operatic debut in "Carmen' 'in Berlin last summer and the noted German critic, Professor Einstein, paid him a tribute by a comparison with Caruso. He stated that, "One takes no risks in asserting that since Caruso, no tenor has been here, with a voice of such nobility, roundness, concentration, and quality."

In the soft warm glow cast by the amber lights from above, and in an atmosphere typically Indian, the outside girls' informal took place last Saturday evening in the dining room of Edens Hall. The guests were received by beautifully costumed Indian maids who added greatly to the theme of the motif. These girls, Genevieve Warren, Mary Elizabeth Fowler, and Margaret Perry, afterward-served orange punch beside an Indian tepee. Indian Motif Gayly colored Indian Blankets adorned the walls while^ unique mo-, mentos of Indian life were exhibited about the room, all greatly adding to the glamour of the scene. About a hundred student couples attended the dance and fourteen invited faculty members. The latter were: Pres. and Mrs. C. H. Fisher, Mr. and. Mrs. H. E. Fowler, Mr. and Mrs. H. C.

JOSLYN Thursday night Say First of Five Talks on Mental Hygiene; Nation wide Movement Directed by Will Miss June J. Joslyn gave the first of a series of five talks on Mental Hygiene. last night in the Normal School auditorium. Miss Joslyn used "Mental Hygiene" as the subject, of her introductory lecture in which she discussed the meaning of mental hygiene and the great development of that movement in Washington. These movements are going on in every state of t he nation and are organized by the National Committee for Mental Hygiene in New York. Dr. Frakwood E. Williams, medical director of the National Committee, said, "Mental Hygiene is a movement which is concerned with the efficiency, the happiness, and the ability to get the best out of life." Miss Joslyn, who was selected by representatives of all the associations in Washington concerned with mental hygiene, will use "Understanding Ourselves" as the topic for her next talk, to be given next Thursday evening, November 15. The following committee was appointed to work out the details of these talks: Mrs.- J. J. Dolan, president of the P. T. A.; Miss Margaret Diaz, representative of the Whatcom County Federation' of Welfare Workers, and Miss Mary E. Rich, direotor of the Normal Training School. Mr. Pelagius Williams, who presides over the meetings, is vice president of the association.

There will be several more classes in Education 21 than have been usually given during the . winter quarter.

The schedule will be completed in about two weeks. Registration for next quarter will not begin until two weeks before the end of this term. lt; gt; — Carnegie Institute Sends Local Club Pamphlets . on Current News Items The International Relations Club received some pamphlets, Monday, November 5, from the Carnegie Institution, which sponsors these clubs.

Playing to a house packed to the very doors, the Moroni Olsen Players produced "Expressing Willie," by Rachel Crothers, last Monday evening. Being somewhat different from any other play they have ever handled, it was a pleasing surprise. Working with a rather shallow plot, they swept their audience into gales of laughter' by their superb acting. Byron Foulger, as Willie Smith, and Dorothy Adams as Minnie Whitcomb, were delightful in the roles of juvenile leads. Leora Thatcher as Mrs. Smith, Willie's mother, was the real comedy character in the play, and she did the part as only Leora Thatcher can. Nelson Is Artist , Too much cannot be said of Gordon Nelson as artist and Joe Williams, as the henpecked husband of Lois Hunt.

" v Both are good songs; one short, peppy, and rythmic; the other has the essence of a chant and yet reflects the life of the Normal-by-the-Sea. Both are also traditions: we could not get along without them—they are a part of Bellingham Normal. All Vikings get a vivid thrill when singing the words: "Nestled there among the grandeur stands the white and blue, , Colors of our Alma Mater, Hail, All Hail to you!" But there is a need for a new song: one that combines the rythm of "Alma Mater" and yet has the depth of "The White and Blue." This sort of song could.be used for every type of program.. As considerable time should be allowed to compose the words, select a tune, or compose a tune, ideas should be sent in by some means to any member of the Viking staff in the meantime. For a starter review the "Harvard and Yale Victory March", "On Wisconsin", "Bow Down to Washington", or any other popular college anthem. Compose your own words, fitting to Bellingham Normal, and then polish the result. The Northwest Viking staff is keenly interested in a new song! You should be! So, musicians, poets, students, get busy! Howdy, folks! Draw up your chairs and We'll all have a good prime. . * * * * . ' • ' ..

Well, they are lettermen, aren't they? * * * * BIG COLUMNS COPY Mr. Ruckmick (asking class for suggestions of titles for photographs): "What shall we'call this picture of the Sound?" Bill Mock: "Vitaphone." Mr. R.: "Why Vitaphone, Bill?" B.: "Well, that means sound picture, doesn't it?" » * * * * It wasn't many days later that the young gentleman asked of Dean Bever's secretary: "Are my grades all right, Miss Swanson?" To the Men of the School: It has been^ a practice, up until recent years, for the Men's. Club to give a dance. ' Why has. this, practice died? This is the reason: the girls with their Informals have-made, the men expect too much of them. The men expect the girls to carry on the social functions of the "School while they hold on as parasites to an inferior sex. . Both the men and the women have shown a laxity which has brought about this condition, but it is left to the men to remedy it. Think it over, men of the school, and .come to the Men's Club meeting Teusday fortified. JOE HERMSEN _J o— Pep? Where is it? How many times have we heard about this school lacking pep? Students who have come here from peppy schools or schools where they have student government in assemblies find it rather "dead"; but isn't it really up to us, who are the students, to promote the spirit in the school? We can't have real school loyalty unless there is co-operation and pep in the students! . —B. E. G o — Some of us freshmen, who come from little high schools with lots,, of pep, wondered at the feeble response the yell leaders got when they "tried out" in assembly the other day. When we look back on our high school days we remember how the "rafters rang" with our cheering the day before" a big game. Have we achieved so great a dignity that it is considered a disgrace to reveal our lung power in a few yells? Anyway, think how the poor yell leaders feel when they get a few feeble shouts from a body of students capable of lung capacity which should rock the building. —M. E. F. How About It? BOOKfciVIEW "Beggars Can Choose," by Mar-: garet Weymouth Jackson, is a human story of the life of a Chicago girl whose parents wanted her to marry for money. Of course like the everyday, cut and dried heroine, she, Ernestine Briceland by name, utterly refuses. ^ She falls in love with "a poor but honest" young man of,her own choosing. She marries him, Will Todd, and in a miraculous way they succeed. Will begins to make money at a-remarkable rate and he climbs to great heights overnight. The young folks live to scorn the parents who refused to sanction the marriage. . Although the story seems to hold one for a time one soon* grows tired of anticipating every action of the characters. There is a social problem in the story but the author has made her mistake in clothing it with such a thin plot and flimsy characters.

Such teachers: have proved themselves still human-contrary to the usual opinion—and deserve a high place among the angels when they die. There are other members of the faculty, however, who do not realize the hardships to which they are exposing their classes in extorting so much work from them in times when a little leniency would never be forgotten.—C. M. Dear Ma: Gosh, Ma, Bellingham has sure been all excited lately because of the big landslide. What I mean is that we've got a new president now. I was gonna go an' vote for Hoover Ma, but the girl with the busted beak told me that Hoover's name wasn't even on the ballot and neither was Smith's so I guess it wouldn't have done any good. Besides Ma I got a awful cold. I sure hope that Smith doesn't get down hearted-•and stop making cough drops. Hoover got over 400 votes. Smith got some votes too, Ma; I was up to Lynden on.election night and when I heard that Hoover had practically won I decided I would send a telegram and congratulate him. "Well Ma I went up to one of the natives of the town and says, "Say mister is there a Western Union station in this town.'

There is not much else that we would rather do than to read of Viking victories. This is a story of the first Viking victory this football season. The Norsemen invited the St. Martin's College football team to play in the Viking backyard, again this season. The Rangers" accepted the invitation as the fly did the spider's. The Rangers came all the way from Lacey to play a njce little game of football, and the Vikings didn't seem to care a bit. The Nor-malites tramped on, booted around and ran over the boys from Lacey so much that the visitors began to think that the home town boys did not play fair. The Vikings teased the visitors along for a whole quarter and a half before they thought it prudent to try to push over a touchdown. Then in the closing minutes of the second period of : play, Odell ran wild to make a 55- yard gain before he was forced out of bounds on St. Martin's four-yard line. Red Williams then took the ball for two plays and put it on the one-yard line, and Chuck Erickson took it over on a hard line smash. Odell then made the try for point on a drop kick. The half closed with the Vikings in possession of the ball, and the score seven to nothing in Normal's favor. Second Half Different ' The second half was a little different. It was much harder fought and there was considerable argument among the players on both teams. The third quarter was a v see-saw affair with neither side gaining any special advantage, 'though the visitors had pushed the locals deepjnto their own territory by the close of the period^ The Norsemen had possession of the ball and when the change was made in goals they kicked to safety. The Rangers opened up a passing attack in the last period that threatened to score against the Vikings, but Odell put a stop to that rally by intercepting one of the passes. Erickson was calling signals when the final gun sounded the end of the game. The Vikings gave a war whoop for the vanquished and trot- ' ted off the field a victorious and happy gang. Weber Out of Game I t is singular to note that the Vikings, though they entered the game minus one of their best men, Weber, and that though Chuck Erickson had a leg that bothered him all through the game, came out on top of the scoring ladder. Weber was unable to play due to an injury received in the game against the Cheney Savages last week. Erickson, though he played the whole game, was suffering from a bad leg injury. Much of the Viking victory winning punch was due to the rhythmic and timely work of the forward wall, which seems to have found itself. Where heretofore there have been a few linemen working consistently, Saturday the line worked like a well-oiled machine,. and had much to do with the - Viking win over the Rangers. HUSKIES AND W.S.K WIN GAMES NOV. 3 Cardinals Take Unexpected Fall. Oregon State Trounces University of Montana Last Week. While the University of Washington Huskies were trouncing the College of Puget Sound 40 to 0'on the latter.'s. field last ^Saturday, which saw the Washington backfield ace* Chuck" Carroll, add thirty-six points to his personal scoring collection in a one-sided game, nothing of a remarkable recovery was noted in the University's play. Probably the most- outstanding contest of the week-end for local fans was the Washington State College's 26 to 0 victory over the University of Idaho. Two of Washington State's touchdowns came as the result of intercepted passes, while the other two came as a' combination bucking and passing attack carried the ball down the field. Horan and Lainhart carried the brunt of the Cougars attack, .while Paul Hutchinson looked best for the losers. One of the big upsets of the week-end was the unexpected defeat of the Stanford eleven at the hands of Southern California to the tune of 10 to 0. A mighty crowd of 80,000 persons chilled and thrilled as these two bitter rivals struggled over the gras^-covered gridiron. The Trojans carved into football records the first triumph in three years of a Southern California team over a Cardinal array. The Whitman Missionaries, competing, in their first Northwest conference game of the season, ran roughshod over the Pacific University eleven to walk away with a 44 to'•' 0 triumph in the Walla Walla stadium Saturday. The University of Montana was badly beaten by the Oregon State College eleven at Corvallis by a score of 44 to 0 in a game which saw the Oregon State using every football tactic they knew — and making it effective. Montana found itself halted in every effort to make a first down against the Orangemen. In the biggest upset in the East or Middle West was the Michigan 3-to-0 victory over the mighty mini at Ann Arbor. This defeat virtually throttled the Illini hopes for a second consecutive football title. About 83,000 persons jammed the stadium to see the Wolverine win its first game of the season. Greetings, people! You all look natural so I reckon I am in the right place. * * * * We feel pretty good this wee%. We have something besides deieal to Write about; we Won a ball game last Saturday. Hurrah! BraOo! and other expressions symbolic of glee and happiness! • # * * * The "wiseacres" are saying that it is time we won. Granted—perhaps; but they never played football. Therefore what right have they to judge? " . * * * * A certain daily paper stated that a "revamped backfield" was responsible for most of the Vikings' successful offense. Readers, please note that Stickney, Gunn, Haeske, Bechtel^ Moe, Cather, Anderson, Cox and McLaughlin are all linemen, and it was due also to their great work that the Vikings can claim a victory for last Saturday. * * * * We of this school have a mighty good football team, and it is worthy of good support from every student in school. Saturday the support was good. Very good in fact.v ~ -Two more tough games are. on schedule for the Vikings, and_ then the season will be all over. * • # * • * Tomorrow the U. of W. Super- Varsity meet the Vikings in Seattle. The^n on November 17 the U. of W. Frosh come here for "the last game of the season. Let us back the Vikings t o the limit. Now to change the record. We soon will be in the midst of another season of basketball. •" * * * * gt;, Preseason dope is not very promising, but that is only characteristic of dope. It rarely promises much, and more often than not it is right. The coaches are silent on the Viking hoop prospects for the coming season. Viking Eleven to Play Last Game of Season Here Next Saturday : In the final game of the season for the Viking football team, the University of Washington Freshmen are coming to Bellingham a week from tomorrow, to engage in a grid combat with the Vikings. The freshman organization will present a "formidable lineup to the Viking warriors, and a tougli game is expected. The Husky babes got off to a poor start the first of the season, and as a result lost several "contests, one of which was to Ellensburg by a score of 19 to 0. However the Babes, under the tutelage of Coach. Tubby Graves, have been steadily picking up in their game until they have become a formidable football machine. It must also be remembered that the. Vikings have not been at a standstill in-their game either. Afr ter a poor start in their first three games, the Norsemen finally found their stride and. defeated St. Martin's, and this week are out after the Super-Varsity. Last year the Vikings lost to the Frosh by a single touchdown, and this season they will try to wind up their schedule with a win. A victory over the, Frosh would make the Viking season a success.

Music Mart Wants v Snappy Expression 1 i t is very probable that the grade school teacher's load will soon be ]•;'tightened by the use of films in teaching. The Eastman Kodak Company, acting with the National Educational Association, has just completed an experiment that seems to demonstrate conclusively the superiority of tht new method aver the old. In geography a 35 percent gain was registered by the pupils taught by means of, films, and a 15 percent gain in general science. Approximately 5,500 children were taught with films and 5,300 more were taught the same material without the aid of motion pictures, in public schools scattered over twelve cities. A 500-word report has just been completed by Dr. Ben. D. Wood, of Columbia, and Dr. Frank Freeman, of the University of Chicago, directors of the experiment. KIn this experiment," the report - said, "we have studied the films not as a panacea to be substituted for present instrumentalities of the schools, nor as a means to revolutionize the aims of education, but as an addition to the present pedagogical devices of the schools which may help in the attainment of current accepted goals." As one might expect, a majority of the teachers and school officials reported chat the use of classroom films had been "more effective in arousing and sustaining the children's interest, in improving the quantity and quality of their reading, and in aiding them to correlate features of the lessons with personal experiences and community conditions." —: O Moral! It's a Long Time Between Bites Katherine wondered why her ifogiish class didn't seem such a great success on Tuesday. She simply couldn't figure it out, so she began to ask herself questions. Am I sleepy? "No, I went' to bed at 10 o'clock last night." Am I tired? "No, I didn't get up until 8:30 this morning." After these questions she was still undecided as to the cause of the distraction of her mind from the topic under discussion in class. iiFinally a thought leapt into her head (or perhaps formulated there) and; she realized that she was hungry. Yes, of course that was the cjAuse of the queer feeling. •'•'After what seemed hours of dreaming of and longing for cream puffs, fruit salad, hot soup and numerous other articles of food, the class was dismissed. • In a great hurry, Katherine threw her books into her locker and was off to Baughman's. Upon arriving there she thought it queer that more people were not there, but on considering the rain, concluded that people were probably desiring dryness and did not venture out in the rain for lunch. v After consuming, quantities- ..of fpod she calmly gazed at the clock on the wall. It read 11:30. She thought that strange,' so looked at her own watch, 11:30 also. Light! She had completely forgotten her 11 o'clock in her mad dash for food. Miss Riley now takes sandwiches for refreshments to each 10 o'clock class to still the pangs of hunger. —: ° ' EDWARDS HALL ':• Miss Aletha Hubbard spent Friday night at her brother's home in Bellingham.

Pleading that "the burden of his school work and activities is too great to allow him to continue his duties as president of the Students' Association, Dean Edmundson, for two quarters^ head.of the student body, tendered his resignation in the semi-weekly assembly Tuesday. This resignation was presented to the board of control at its weekly session the day previous, but because of the depleted condition of the board, the resignation could not be accepted and was therefore presented to the student body. Many Vacancies School politics have been placed ifi rather a muddle by the accumulated vacancies on the board of control which culminated Tuesday in the resignation of President Edmundson. For one thing, the resignation of the president leaves the board of control with no leader, there being no vice-president to preside as .this position was left open when Edwin Benedict failed to return to school, and is one of the posts now to be filled by election. But, because there are now four vacancies on the board, it is impossible to assemble a quorum, and the board cannot meet for a business session until after the election. \ Stickney Nominated Ori Wednesday. Don Stickney was the only nominee for the presidency, though a petition had been put up for Eldred Bechtel. Eldred, however, is running unopposed for student representative and is therefore ineligible for the higher position. The other offices, those of vice president and faculty, representative, are unaffected by the other election activities. There are two nominees for both positions, and these will be voted upon Tuesday. Catherine Morse and Hamilton Church Jtiave been nominated for vice president, while Miss Kathleen Skally and Mr. Sam Carver have been placed in nomination for the post of faculty representative. The term of the vice president is for two quarters, to complete the unexpired term of Edwin Benedict, while the faculty representative will be chosen for one quarter, to take the place of Mr. Bond, who left school before the expiration of his term. •' • — o — —— Dean Edmundson, President of the Student Body, Presents His Resignation to the Board of Control. The point system by which "W" sweaters are awarded to members of/the track squad was defined at the regular weekly session of the board of control, which took place Monday afternoon. The change was- made when Kir-vin Smith, of the 1927 track team, requested a sweater, stating that under the interpretation of the ruining as made by Coach Sarri Carver during the recent season, . he (Smith) was entitled to a sweater for his activities on the team during the season before. Trie firial establishment of the ruling, under which Smith was av/arded the sweater, is that to be awarded a track sweater, the contestant must score ten points in competition during the season, or five points in tri-normal competition, but that points made in Normal games count double. ' " Board Does Not Act Dean Edmundson, president of trie Students' Association, presented his resignation to. the board at the session, but because of the fact that the board is depleted in membership by reason that three- terms have expired with no .election having been held, a sufficient number of members of the board were not present to act upon the resignation and it was referred to the student ---------- Northwest Viking - 1928 October 19 - Page 2 ---------- i i [MILLER ;STJTHE^EN:^ i'BellingKanr National Bank, Bid?., JBelhnglwm, Was^.:; Sibsiiiptiih rate by mail, flM pef year, in^adyaricejisinglicopus* S ; lt; * ^ ;;;.!0;::;-.- ;-;;:-:i,t:.,v?,.:.

Books dealing extensively with any subject into which a student might wish to delve adorned the shelves. Special care was taken to have the lighting correct—-the desks slanted at the most convenient angle. Complete in every detail it Was an ideal spot for study. At the particular school of which we speak this great storehouse of knowledge was not made use of as extensively as it really should have been. Students were seen studying in empty classrooms, in the halls and on the steps. Others stuck doggedly to their text books and never indulged in any library reading.

Probably the most important is that of student representative on the board of control. Jean is also president of the Scholarship club, which was reorganized last spring, and secretary of the Women's League, the latter probably one of the most responsible positions in school.

The plan presented looks toward the reorganization of the present fund, which is insecure ,and putting "it ,on. a sound basis. The faculty at present have ho retirement fund and at the meeting took action to be included in the reorganization. " Payment into the fund -is in proportion to the number of years of experience and amount of salary. The percentage of salary which will go to the fund would amount to from three to seven percent. Provisions of the fund are that, after thirty-five years of service, twenty of which are in the state of Washington, one may retire and receive annual payments in proportion to the amount invested to the fund. These payments in no case to exceed $1,000. Also, if one wishes to withdraw he shall receive the amount paid in with a nominal interest. -,.- gt;" Board of Control FROSH "Music; of ' America" ;was the theme of ah illustrated -lectuape-'priB-;. sented inN-';.last Tuesday's assembly bjrMiss Pearl McDonald,,of Sekttle. • After .ghingT a; brief history of American music,.Miss; McDonald mentioned the three sources of a typical American music.,/. The first source is the old English folk songs which were brought over to this country when it was first settled. The second is the negro melodies of the Southland and the last is the Indian music. Until 1790, there was very little, if any, creative work done in music in - this country. People were content with the Old World masters and felt no urge or necessity for personal expression. Although the establishment of musical appreciation in schools has done much to create more interest in true American music, there must still be a great deal more evinced in order to establish America in that field as firmly as the older countries. Probably one reason for lack of notice, is that American composers have not yet banded together and created a literature based on the typical American music. There exists quite a bone of contention as to which of the three aforementioned sources our music should be based on.. Tastes Are Different . Our tastes in music are very diversified and unusually international. However, American independence wills it that we have' a native music typically our own. As it has not been possible for America to accept any landed gift of music, for there wasn't any, so it has been necessary to create a national music. In speaking of an American literature, Miss McDonald said that it must be possessed of high standards, high ideals, and most of all a Committee Meieting; With a group, the Appointed 'at Class Party Coming Nov gt; 19. s m a l l representative thrilling games of the season.

INFORMAL WOODPECKERS WINTER —Roy Sundstrom L BE BY H N C E Y RR1FFITH Former Student Here and Pupil of Miss Edith R. Strange, will be Presented Here by Normal; Have you noticed the gardeners at work on the library grounds? The trees or shrubs or whatever they are, help to alleviate that barren look even now. But it will be some years before the building ceases to seem sort of naked. -W.'S. N. S.- Which reminds me that a day or so ago a fellow stopped me and asked why I didn't make a few pointed comments in this column about those people who have worn away all the lawn by cutting the corner between the main building and the library. It is a good idea. Such a practice is deplorable and deserves the whole-hearted condemnation of every right thinking student. There —now that I've done my duty, I think I'll stroll across the lawn to the library. WILL PLAY NEXT FRIDAY Mr. Griffith has received many Favorable Criticisms. Has Opened Studio in Fine Arts' Building. SIX YELLS IN VIKING'S HANDS FOR CONTEST - _ * 1811 -W. S. N. S, There will be another building on the campus in a year or so—either a dormitory for the men or a gymnasium. I don't know what the administration's plans are, but it seems to me that a dormitory is more essential than a gymnasium. As things are now, there is no unity of existence for the average man. He sleeps at a private house in a room designd as a bed-room, not as a study. He eats at Edens hall, goes to classes at the main building, studies at the library, takes his baths at the gym, and loafs at the Barbecue or at Baugh-man's. His life is spread out over rfive or six places and is necessarily spread pretty thin. I don't think it a very normal sort of existence. A ^dormitory for the men, as well equipped as Edens hall should certainly be a big factor in promoting the happiness, efficiency and general welfare of the male portion of t h e student body. W. S. N. S. In the 11 o'clock assembly next Friday, November 8, Chauncey Griffith, former Normal • student, will be presented in a piano recital. His programs are familiar to older members of the school, since he I has appeared here on numerous other occasions. Mr. Griffith was very prominent in musical activities in the three years he studied here. Since his graduation last spring he has opened a piano studio in the Fine Arts Building of this city in connection with the studio of Miss Edith R. Strange, and has been teaching in collaboration with her. He also holds the position of pipe-organist of the St. James Presbyterian Church. He has pleased various audiences in previous piano recitals in this' city, and has been credited with, "splendid technical understanding, beautiful depth of tone, delicacy and a strong sense of dramatic value." Work of Making New Programs Progresses I n one of the last issues of the ~Viking there appeared a Student Opinion censuring the present attendance regulation (which I suppose everyone understands by now). Far be it from me to applaud any dictum of the faculty, but in this case it appears that they have been about as reasonable as any faculty can be expected to be. You don't have to go to classes here as in other schools. They leave that to you. And if. there wasn't some penalty attached to non-attendance how long do you suppose it would he before there wasn't any attendance at all? We also have a competitive system of grading thai might very easily make it possible lor a student who knew nothing to get by with a C because the average knowledge of the other students enrolled in the course amounted to nothing, too. Personally, I think that for a two-year school, we have everything that we can reasonably expect in this line and we had bett e r let well enough alone. Of course there is Antioch college, at Antioch, Ohio. There there is no attendance requirement for upper classmen. But then very few of us are upper-classmen here. -W. S. N. S. I have been looking over the El-lensburg "Campus Crier". It looks strange and I have been wondering why. I think it is because it has only six columns, while the Viking has seven. The Viking does have seven, doesn't it? Or am I crazy? -W. S. N. S. The Outside . Girls' Informal comes off tomorrow night. And I'm not going. How's this for a record: I'm a 2nd quarter junior and I've never yet had a bid to an Outside Informal. Only one more chance. ——-W. S. N. S - ' Joe Hermsen walks by and asks me to mention the Men's Club Informal, Nov. 22, is less than a month away now and almost all the programs are filled. : Got your tier ket? ,, •; •••••'.;.',. ;:•.;"'•- ; • w. s.:N. s. . : •:/•/.: The editors of the new 1929 souvenir programs, Don Stickney and Jack Gudmundson, announce that the work on the booklets is progressing nicely.

BARNEY'S TO PLAY Captain Salisbury, globe trotter and lecturer, was presented in a special assembly Wednesday at 11, coming here direct from Whatcom high school. His appearance earlier in the week at the University of Washington had been enthusiastically received according to. a report from Miss Polly Dee Leanard, secretary to the president. Captain Salisbury's talk was very short but in his strong, clear voice he impressed upon the student body the fortunate status of affairs, under which we Americans are born and reared. In emphasizing his point he told of the treatment of Malanesian women in the South Pacific, of man eating tribes in the Fiji Islands, head hunters' of the Western Pacific and of life on the island of Tahiti of the French Society's in contrast with the high moral standards of German, British, and American colonies elsewhere. Fiji Islanders Fast The Fiji Islanders have,- made rapid progress in civilization, the Captain pointed out. Three generations ago they were living in a -very canabalistic manner but today there are not a few of the young men who are Oxford graduates. i All these savage colonies have been visited by Captain Salisbury in collecting primitive specimens of these civilizations for museums and in'.writing of them for the National Geographic Magazine. , Final arrangements were made last Monday for the Men's Club Informal; the first dance this year to be given by the men of the school. The date for the informal has been changed from November 23 to November 22 in order to engage Barneys Super Dance Orchestra from Seattle. Idea Undecided The idea of the dance has not yet been decided upon, according to Joe Hermsen, general chairman of the dance, but it is hinted that no decorations will be necessary as the crystal ballroom of the Hotel Leopold, is a thing of splendor in itself. Jack Gudmundson is hard at work on suitable programs to delight the eye and also to last as a souvenir. Ted Clarke is in charge of the refreshments with the help of Eddie Hunnicutt. Bert.Cole and John Dixon will handle the sale of tickets. Only the first 150 couples can be accomodated and the men are requested to buy their tickets now as many of the alumni have also applied. ALUMNI LETTERS SENT The office staff is making an attempt to locate all the alumni and sending out invitations to all those whom they can locate to come to Homecoming on Saturday, Novemr ber 16. • Mr. L. A. Kibbe, president of the alumni committee, who is now in Sacramento, California, . visiting Normals in that state, is coming back next week and will be here for the bonfire and big game. Those students who know Mr. Kibbe realize that Homecoming would be incomplete without him. , Each member of the faculty will be in his office the morning of November 16, to welcome the alumni and make them feel at home. -—o Beulah Goldsmith spent the weekend at her home in Yelm. •Hazel Jeffries and Virginia Howell were at home Sunday in Sedro- Woolley, and Rae Belanger was • a t home in Granite Falls. ~i" DR. WILFRED OSGOOD DR. WILFRED OSGOOD recently returned from a two thousand mile caravan journey through the heart of Abyssinia. Many parts of the country had not previously been traveled by white men. He was sent by the Field Museum and the Chicago Daily News. He Is a distinguished scientist and explorer with a remarkable story of strange and colorful adventure. Prior to his trip little was known of Abyssinia. He found it a land of strange people, rare animals and scenic grandeur second to none. He is to appear here soon to tell his absorbing story which is visualized by exclusive motion pictures and slides. FROSH BOYS, GET YE WOOD FOR BONFIRE!

It Is Here the Student's Study Training School T H E W O M E N ' S L E A G U E INFORMAL Tomorrow night, the Edens Hall dining Hall room will be transformed into a great golden ball room where soft, shaded lights will play on beautifully clad girls in shimmering satin, soft flowing georgettes, fragile old lace that will claim, their neatly dressed partners. This Informal is one of the many social projects carried out by the Women's League at Normal during a quarter. Those who are lucky enough to attend this affair will note the lovely decorative effects made possible through Dorothy Sasse and her committee of co-workers. Y E A R L I N G S COME T O M O R R OW Tomorrow afternoon at 2:15 the University Frosh will meet the Normal Vikings on Waldo Field. We have here at Normal, one of the hardest fighting teams in our history, led by Captain Stickney and our other veterans, Erickson and Moe. It was last Saturday that the Vikings met defeat at the hands of the Cheney Savages—the game ending with the score of 7 to 0. In view of he fact that the Vikings had all the disadvantages—playing-at Cheney during their Home Coming, we would say that although Cheney won the technical victory, the Vikings took the moral win. The Yearlings have been bjeaten before by the Viking aggregation and there is no reason why we shouldn't do it again. Nevertheless, fans must bear in mind that the Frosh squad is the backbone of the future varsity eleven. ; Tomorrow, in view of the preceding facts we can root for one of the finest teams in Normal football history—-so, Yearlings, watch out! Bring thief! back my wife—you horse Today s Trembling Thol Cheer up—Theres' no place like home. W I N T H E BIG P R I Z E! Hurry, hurry—the Yell Contest closes Novemher 12—only a week and a few days left to make your try for the big prize of two dollars and fifty cents in cash! The purpose of the contest is to get several original yells, that will not only yield volume, snap, spirit and pep, but will also become real Normal, individual yells. They will be used during the Home Coming game in which we know that the team will need all the backing and rooting the students can give them. Those yells which were published in this paper today, will be tried out at the game with the University Yearlings and the Normal Vikings tomorrow on Waldo Field in preparation for Home Coming. A BIT OF PHILOSOPHY Ed Cox We cuss and rave and tear around, But nothing do we gain, Except that soreheads we become, "Why worry? Let'er rain!!!" We ride too fast atop the wave, . - We're ebbing with the tide, And see io'o much of tragedy, But not the J'sunny side." So why not slacken down a bit To set a slower pace,' :; Keep our minds on what's around us And let the others race! lEDITOR^S NOTE: • £;J/tothOT former Viking reporter contributes this, poem from Zillah, THE DIARY OF OLE SCRAAG Vonce more here ay bane my sveet, sveet diary, But yumpin yiminy ay bane a sad Ole, • Dis skool is so funny mit some crazy rule, De heal dat ay got first ay tink ow bane cool.

School isn't all work—there's hal-lowe'en and that means parties for the training school grades. Each class had a party, from the morning affair of the primary grades with its simple games to the evening party of the eighth grade. There are ghosts and goblins coming and student teachers and—but the grades will speak for themselves. Kindergarten Has Party The kindergarten first and second grades are having their party together this morning. Each room has planned a game and as they come together today, the students will draw colored slips and thus divide up into three groups. These groups will rotate from room to room and each student will play all the games. Later they will meet-in the primary room for refreshments. There is popcorn which the second grade grew last spring and they have popped it for this occasion. All the boys and girls are wearing crepe paper hats which they made themselves and they are decorating their rooms with decorations they have, made and funny little pumpkin lanterns. Grade Makes Invitations The fifth grade has made definite plans having formed committees for the party and made invitations which were sent to their "student teachers and special writers. These invitations are of three kinds made up by the students, one being a poem—another picturing, goblins— and still another which has a variety of words scattered over a page and when put together make an in-vitatiton. ' Their party is being held this afternoon in the fifth grade room. Jean Philippi, coming as a guest will tell scary stories and a witch will read fortunes that the class has made up. ' And then lastly, there will be more refreshments—cider and ginger snaps. Sh-h-h-h— This is the Reading Room of the Normal Library. It is where the students do their studying. Be guiet, Oswald dear! You must not talk or make any noise here! ' v What three girls? Where? Oh-h-yes. They are not talking, they are comparing notes. What's that? That boy and girl sitting close together? No-no-no-, honey, they are just communicating. You see, they do it mostly by smiles. That boy that taps his pencil? Where? Ah yes, of course. You see, dear, he is, uh, he is mulling over something—some big problem. Yes. I didn't hear you, Oswald. Oh-uh- you want to know what that girl is looking up at with her mouth open? Uh. well— uh— Never mind those people, darling. Look over here, see? In the corner. See that slight boy with the glasses? That is a student. See how his fingers of both hands are tangled in his hair. See how intently he bores., into his open book. He is concentrating, honey. Why no, dear, his eyes are not closed. No-no-no-, they are just narrowed as he studies. Come, now come, Oswald, we must go. Be careful to open the door quietly, now. We must not disturb the students at their studying. Sh-. _ o Normal Teachers to Judge School Debate Miss Ruth Piatt, Dr. Irving Miller, and Dean W. J. Marquis, of the Normal Faculty will act as judges at the debate tonight at the Fair-haven high school. The Fairhaven team will meet the Sedro-Woolley high school there. The question for debate this season is: Resolved, That inter-scholastic and inter-collegiate athletics, as presently conducted, are detrimental; The term detrimental meaning more harmful than beneficial". • * KEMPHAUS St CO.

QiflTOML By BERT vmmmmmmmmmmwM EARLY TOUCHDOWN GiVES CHENEY WIN 7-0 Football Dictionary There is a football team at the BeUingham State Normal which does lots of work and doesn't get much more, than a lot of briuses and hard knocks for their work. This team is the Viking's reserves... The boys who play on this team furnish lots of practice for the varsity, and should receive their share of the credit, for turning out a team to represent the Viking school. Savages Put Over Touchdown In First Five Minutes of Play, and Then Stop Viking Offense Dead. BELLINGHAM PASS WORKS Whoopee! We are all going to the game Saturday. * * * a "Chuck" Erickson's passes worked fine at Cheney, but it seems the Savages complained, thinking they were "screen" passes, because of the dust kicked up before each pass. The dust was hard on the BeUingham team, and the Vikings had to stop every two or three plays to take the dirt out of their eyes. * * , * # The University of California performed a remarkable feat when they defeated the Olympic club for then-third straight victory over strong teams. The Bears had a hard six-day trip East, making the victory very unusual. They defeated the Washington State College team, went to Philadelphia and defeated the U. of Pennsylvania, and then came back to the" West to defeat the Olympic Club, all on three successive Saturdays. Even at that they are conceded practically no chance against the Trojans this week-end. WHO'S WHO— By He Who Knows This weeks ."Who's Who" deals with Eddie Hunnicut, unofficial trainer, athletic manager, and what have you? Eddie dropped in from Anacortes in 1927, and started right off as assistant athletic manager. The next year he made another step forward to become manager, and this year he has reached the peak, where he gets the glory and makes Osborn do the work. But even at that we must admit that he saved enough money for the school by keeping check on material to have earned his fare to all the games. In other words "Honey" is worth his keep. From rumors we hear from the East, the Vikings made all their yardage last week in the wrong direction. Thai 198-pound center, Gerald Stannard, threw our backs for so many losses that they had to get a map to find out which way fiiey were going. - .1 guess the U. of W. is going to win a game. They play the College of Puget Sound tonight, in their first after dark football game. If the Huskies don't win this game, the Vikings had belter challenge them, so we can win one more game this year. The usual group of spongers who sit in their cars next to the road and see the games for nothing, were disappointed last' Saturday, due to the work of John Dixon, Harold Rich, and their co-workers, who spent the entire forenoon putting up a burlap barrier through which even the most hawk-eyed spectators could hardly follow the game. The burlap had a noticeable affect since $150 was taken in at the gate. Some new woolen mackinaws with hoods attached arrived in the supply room this week. They are to be used for the reserve men. The bench is a cold place for the subs, and these shirts will add much to their comfort. !!Wun on Sunstrumb!!

A Cheney touchdown in the first five minutes of play started and finished the scoring for the afternoon, and so the Savages won their Homecoming game from the Vikings Saturday 7-0. BeUingham punted on the third down after the kick-off, and receiving the ball on their own 48- yard line, the savages marched across the goal line without losing possession of the ball. Simonton made the score, and Morgan place-kicked the try for point. Vikings Hold The Vikings held for a third down and-eight to go on the 25-yard line, but on the fourth down a Cheney back carried the ball to the one-yard line on an off tackle play. The entire half, and the early part of the third quarter, was all Cheney's, two more scores being narrowly averted. In the second quarter, with the ball in the Savages' possession on the Vikings' seven-yard line, Stickney broke through and downed a Cheney back for a 14- yard loss. Again in the third quarter the Savages were in scorinb territory, but Iverson recovered a fumble on his own 12-yard line to avert the threat. Try Passing After all running plays failed to gain any ground at all, the Vikings opened up with an aerial attack in the last quarter that nearly "brought home the bacon". In fact, Sherman once carried the ball over the goal line, after receiving a pass from Erickson, but he stepped' out of bounds with one foot on the 10- yard line, so the score didn't count, j BeUingham twice lost-the ball on passes over the goal line while within their opponents' 20-yard line. The quarter-back could hardly be blamed for calling for a pass, however, as the running plays had made practically no yardage. Stannard Outstanding Stannard, the big Cheney center, was the outstanding star of the game, stopping everything that came his way. Simonton was the Savage's biggest ground gainer. The entire Cheney line played high class ball. The Vikings had practically no offensive star, the passes from Erickson to Moe and Sherman being, the only ground gainers. Those who stood out on the defensive were: Moe and Sherman, ends; Brunstad, tackle; Stickney, center; and Flowers, halfback. The Lineups: Ball—An oval shaped thing, inflated with air and always being kicked or fallen opon. Cleats—Handy attachments on the sole of football shoes with which opposing players walk on each others faces. Defense—Eleven men trying to keep you from winning the fifty cents you bet on the home team. Eleven — Nickname for some football teams. Forward Pass—A play which causes spectators to whoop or groan.

Scrimmage — When opposing, players try to play football between arguments. Side Lines—A place from where an excited student dares the referee to come.

Cornelius Van Vliet, famous cellist now on a world concert tour, was presented in a classical program in the auditorium, Tuesday morn-tag, October 29. This is the artist's second engagement in Bellingham, having appeared here in concert five yars ago. Mr. Van Vliet rendered a charming and varied group of selections, with a series of short introductory .remarks before each number. Edith R. Strange accompanied him at the piano. Selections Charm : His first two numbers were, "Sonata in A Major", by Boccherini, and "Walser", by Weber. The brevity of the program made it possible to insert two additional selections by Bach, "Sarabande", and "Bou-ree". His "Spanish Serenade" and "Neapolitan Sketch" were particularly well received, as was "The Swan", a n encore number. The program was broadcast over radio station K-V-O-S. o QUARTET ENTERTAINS Quartet of Famous Musicians Revives Memories at Fuedal Day with Ancient Chamber Music. Music in its purest form,- rendered by players each of whom is an artist, was offered by t he Portland Chamber Music String Quar-jfcet to the students of the Normal in .'their regular assembly last Friday snorning. ; The quartet was composed of Su- !sie Pennel Piper, first violin, a pupil •of Joachim; Hubert Sorenson, sec- |ond violin, a former student of lOregon State College; Alexander jVdovin, viola, of the Portland Sym-iphony orchestra, and Ferdinand iKonrad, cello, of the Chicago Sym- 'phony orchestra. The quartet presented a quartet in D Major, by Mozart; an Irish melody from Bridge; Valse from :fine novelettes, by Glazounow, and ;the Lento Quartet (negro) by JDvork. Very Different ; The quartet was decidedly different from the usual run of orchestrations presented in the Nor-imal school, and was well received t gt;y the students. ': Chamber music is one of the old- ;est forms of orchestrations, originating in the early centuries when the king and his lords would be entertained in his chamber with music from the four favorite musicians in his kingdom. o — Several school institutes in the eastern part of this state will be •isited this month by Mr. W. J. Rice, the penmanship instrucotr here and the city schools. He had already been in Yakima early in September. In his absence his classes will be taken care of by Miss Georgia Gragg, the other Normal penmanship teacher. o Viking Cubs Become Full-fledged Scribes (Continued from Page One) r - * f4ous0 fiotes EDENS HALL.

T ^ feseiit Big Concert The Best Known Chamber Singers of the Highest and Finest Caliber. Archery Will Be Introduced Here . The Elschuco Trio, three~artists, in their line, will give a concert devoted wholly to chamber music, Monday evening, at 8:15 o'clock, at the First Christian Church. . The Elshucos make a very valuable addition to the music course, as they are the best known group of chamber singers in the country. The three members of the trio are artists of the very highest calibre. Chamber music is generally accepted as the finest and highest development of musical art. A long step toward making familiar this fine literature, Ayas taken when the Elshuco Trio was organized a few years ago. Mr. Willeke, the eminent Dutch 'cellist, who was brought from Holland to fill the place occupied for so many years by Ahvin Schroeder, has played a prominent part in instrumental music in this country. He lias been soloist with the leading orchestras of the country, and first 'cellist with the New York Symphony Orchestra. He was also assistant conductor of that organization. There hag never been a greater master of chamber music than Franz Kneisel. Violinist Is Genius. William Kroll, the violinist, was born in New York, where he gave recitals at a very youthful age, and was acclaimed as a wonder child. Subsequently, after a study of music in Berlin, he met with great success. Mr. iKroll's studies were continued with Franz • Kneisel and under his supervision he became a -valued member of the Trio. Individual genius shown by the compositions of Aurelio Giorni, promises to bring him into the foremost rank of the composers of our time. He is ah Italian pianist and a graduate with first honors from the very ancient and famous Academy of St. Cecelia in Rome. He has been in America for several years and has become one of the most prominent members of- the young Italian composers. - " Archery, a. very popular activity among prominent r colleges of today, is to be introduced as one of the spring sports for women. As an exr ample of the interest shown in archery, Oakland, California, plays archery as they do golf, going around nine targets instead of nine holes. "' Owing to the extent of our campus, it is very probable that archery will become an exceedingly popular activity. Teams to be Chosen. Teams will be chosen and a competition meet- will be held towards the latter part of the quarter. The schedule will be announced at the Sports Rally to be held Wednesday, March 30. Other sports which will be played this spring are: Volleyball, ring tennis, track, baseball and swimming. o Dress Review Is Novel Show George AHez Reelected Pres- Board Art Exhibit Is An Interesting Event The Japanese "print exhibit that was conducted in the Art department r Wednesday and Thursday, March 3 and 4, was an extremely successful •adventure. It was the first exhibit of its kind to be held in this part of the country.* The Japanese- prints are works of old masters reproduced by a most laborious process of woodcuts; they tire Japanese woodblock: prints. Their main feature is in the wonderful* lineal: harmony and exquisite color arrangement. The colors are extracted from vegetable juices and the choicest rice paper is used in the process. Seven Masters Represented. The Japanese masters included in this collection are: Hiroshige, Ho-kusai, Utomaro, Harunobu, Ko, Kwasson, and Gesso". The original of many of these prints are in the British museum in London. Most of the training school youngsters: viewed the exhibit. Different things of interest were explained to-them, which related t o . the art work they were doing. ^ The exhibit was attended by many Bellingham residents as well as students. Exclusive of those bought by the training school and Art department, there were over 200 pictures sold. \ .; The Women's League and Men's Club presented a remarkable fashion review sin three acts a few minuites ago. The scene represented a garden with beautiful overhanging flowers. The first review was limited to sports and business clothes. The idea was exceedingly well portrayed and the costumes were of especial charm. "The Three Graces," "Skip for Three," and "May Day Gallop," three dances, were interpreted bjr Irma Littler, Mary Margaret Doyle, Vesta Larsen, Dorothy Ervin, Verta Templeton and Edith Cox. Madeline Bosshard entertained with a group of violin solos. The third review, a formal dance, was enhanced by colored lights and soft music.

Robert Fisher, candidate for Vice President, won a close race from his nearest competitor,. Dan Beighle. . The re-election of George Allez was a distinct stamp of approval of his policies duriug the past four quarters and will give him the^ opportunity of completing the work of centralizing the various student activities in the Board of Control. Robert Fisher was something of a surprise candidate. He is a third quarter Freshman and has been prominent in club and sport circles, being Sports Editor of the Messenger. Don Patterson, student representative to the Board of Control, was the defeated candidate in the presidential race: TAVO other candidates, Dan Beighle and Robert Wagner, were nominated but withdrew their names at the assembly. The vote was light, scarcely half of the student body casting ballots. The final counts were as follows: President: Allez, 413; Patterson, 64. : .. • Vice President: Fisher, 173; Beighle, 161; McCool, 89; Durr, 25; Din-gerson, 29.

'THE RED ARROW has stormed the Normal campus the latter part of the week and has left the student-body as well as the faculty aghast with wonder and astonishment, as a sudden typhoon ravages a peaceful and unsuspecting city and leaves its people and works.of architecture in ruins and ashes. It was at first thought that this audacious magazine, the first of its kind in the history of the Normal ever put out by a group of students who are more enthusiastic and" ambitious than highly gifted with literary endowments, would find a calm and indifferent audience, which would, perhaps, only shrug its shoulders and give the unwelcome visitor "•'the air." Everything went on as usual, except for a few casual remarks of some who inquired of the magazine with a spirit of ridicule rather than of an enthusiastic attitude, and then, finally, the hour-=. the eventful hour of its history— came, and, with a sweeping and cyclonic blow, the RED ARROW swooped upon the peaceful atmosphere of the 'Normal, seized the students and faculty , in its unhurting talons, raised their heads lip. among the clouds in literary dom, and dropped them, drunk and dead with the wonders of its literature and the magnificance of its vistas.

In the afternoon the marionettes will appear as Uncle Wiggily, Nurse 'Jane, as well as many other well-known characters one finds in reading the tales of "Uncle Wiggily at the Circus", written by Howard Garis. This matinee performance will be of especial interest to the children. In the evening there will be an opportunity to see Huck Finn, Tom Sawyer, Injun Joe, and many of the other characters Mark Twain has portrayed in his "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn". The evening performance is primarily for the benefit of adults. There will be seven scenes. Has Marvelous Features. One of the marvelous features of the marionette company is the ability to make the actors do nearly all the things real actors can do merely by pulling strings and using their voices behind the scenes. The puppets are made to sing, talk, dance, smoke, laugh and many other things.

The apparent misunderstanding prevalent among those seeking justice is, that the activities of some clubsjire given front page space in preference to'others. It will necessarily have to be conceded in favor of the Messenger that the news of each club affects only a small percentage of the student body. In that case it is only just to the larger, percent of students, that only those articles dealing with club affairs that are exceedingly well written, and those that have a significant bearing upon student activities in general, receive front page recognition. The Men's Club smoker was an interesting affair. There was, however, one particularly peculiar feature about the event. No knockouts! Also, there were nearly as many spectators as ther were competitors. Miss ALMA MADDEN Tonight the Drama Club presents the play "Milestones". If there is-anybody responsible for the success or failure of the play, and to whom all due credit arc attributable, it is Miss Alma Madden, directress of the production. Miss Madden has more than shown herself an active leader and able directress. Blfi WIND But, alas! It is regrettable to state that only two more assemblies remain for this quarter.- Some of the most enjoyable programs in the history of the school have been presented in the assembly hour during the past term. Such remarkable entertainers as the Jubilee Quartet will forever remain fresh in our minds. The inspiring lecture of Mr. Witherspoon, concerning the tendency of modern American life, as regards music and aesthtical appreciation, cannot soon be forgotten. Then there is John J. Black-more, a Northwest authority on music, and an excellent player. These ^are only a few of the pleasing characters we have had occasion to meet in the past three months. Following are a few comments caught- at random in the corridors and dining halls: "The assemblies alone are worth our five dollar activities fee." "For a recital of that dignity one would be compelled to part with two dollars at the leading houses in Seattle." "Some of these assemblies are almost on a par with our musical concerts." " I would have missed my lunch for ten more minutes of that." " A great many of these artists appear in no other place in Bellingham than here." "Every assembly this quarter has been entertaining and educational." "That is the best assembly program yet. They are getting better all the time." The above opinions expressed by students, represents generally the attitude concerning our eleven o'clock programs. The students owe a great deal to the committee that selects the artists. It is also possible for everyone to co-operate with the committee in regard to many small matters. T H E T E A C H E R IN N T H E L I M E L I G HT A Tribute to the Unknown Teacher. And what of teaching? Ah, there you have the worst paid,, and the best rewarded, of all the vocations. Dare not to enter unless you love it. For the vast majority of men and women it has no promise of wealth or fame, but they, to whom it is dear for its own sake, are among the nobility of mankind. I sing the praise of the unknown teacher. Great generals win campaigns, but it is the unknown soldier who wins the war. famous educators plan new systems of pedagogy, but it is the unknown teacher who delivers and guides the young. He lives in obscurity and contends with hardship. For him no trumpets blare, no chariots wait, no golden decorations are decreed. He keeps the watch along the borders of dai'kness and makes the attack on the trenches of ignorance and folly. .Patient in his daily duty, he strives to conquer the evil powers which are the enemies of youth. He awakens sleeping spirits. He quickens the indolent, encourages the eager, and steadies the unstable. He communicates his own joy in learning and shares with boys and girls the best treasvrres of his mind. He lights many candles which, in later years, will shine back to cheer him. This is his reward. Knowledge may be gained from books; but the love of knowledge is transmitted only by personal contact. No one has deserved better of the republic than the unknown teacher. No one is more worthy to be enrolled in a democratic aristocracy, 'king of himself and servant of mankind."— Henry Van Dyke. One on the Cop. We saw a steam shovel tearing up the road today. Oxford Philosophy Course Experiment at U U. of W. Seattle, March 11.— Completion of a quarter's work in one Aveek is the recent accomplishment of an experimental section in Philosophy, at the University of Washington. With individual instruction as its keynote, the trial section is being employed as a direct example of the Oxford system of education. Because of the fact that an average introductory Philosophy course is not of equal value to all students, due to the natural divergence of personal abilities, it was decided that a small percentage of those of highest scholastic ability,, would be elected to a trial study group and taught in tlie Oxford manner. :': •;'•';'Mr.'-'' Norton, instructor in the Philosophy department and graduate «f Oxford, is in charge of the section. yFour upper-division .students, two men and two women, comprise the trial study group.. They were chosen from all students in the introductory courses in Philosophy for the winter quarter, selection being made on personality, .ability and previous high scholastic standing at the U. De Witt Williams, son of Pelagius Williams, of the Social Science department, was ne of the two men chosen. Study of philosophic principles, including much research, is the principal work being done by the group. While no tests are given, advancement is shown by weekly papers. Long sessions of several hours duration are held during the week, replacing the regular one-hour study. Because of the evident success of the plan it will probably be repeated next quarter. . "THE RED ARROW" has finally come out, to the suprise of the student body, who formerly seemed to be pessimistic about its fate; as well as to the astonishment of the Faculty, which have been silent during the initiative on the part of those who put out the magazine. (By Duke) ' t When I was a little boy, my mother usedto say to me: "NOWJ when I was a girl, if a young man were to walk down the street with a woman while he was smoking a cigarette, he would., be., socially., ostracized. Don't ever let me catch you around girls with a cigarette." . Mother was right. If I don't keep the package hid. the blamed women smoke 'em all up. # .» * * Headline in the University of Washington Daily: PADDLERS WANT CLUB It seems that the new sophomore vigilance committee at the University intends to take over its duties in a serious way.

Miss A D E L E JONES As Dean of Women, Miss Adele Jones is an excellent executive and advisor... As an amateur actress on the stage, the student body, which saw her in the play, "FOOD", could not help but wonder why the Dean found satisfaction in the unremun-erative position of a "school ma'am" rather than on the prospective pedestal of a "STAR".

TIE 16 ALL AT HALF The Philos Opened the Game with a Bang and Soon Gain 6 Point Lead. Tommy Marsdens highly touted Co-op quintet came through with the goods Tuesday evening in the little gym, by defeating the Philos" S2-3I, in the playoff game for the Intra- Mural League championship. The final mix saw the Co-ops outplay and outshoot their opponents to win decisively. The winners will gain possession of the Bond Cup, emblematic of the title, for one year. The cup has been Avon by the Philos for the last few years. The Philos opened the contest with a bang. They worked the ball down the floor well and made their shots count, running the score up to 12-G in a few minutes. Then, with the injection of Al Brawn into the lineup, the Co-ops gained new life and began a~ drive that continued until the final whistle blew and netted them the victory. At the end of the half, the points were even 10-all. But the Bookstore boys continued to ring the" hoop and ran their total up to 32 during the second half, at the same time, holding their opponents to two field goals and a lone foul. - The ejection of Dan Beighle early in the second period sapped the strength of the Philos, and for the remainder of the time never really threatened. Mel Howell led in scoring with ten, Maurice Blizard was second high with eight, and Bob Fisher counted siv.

BASKETBALL OUTLOOK FOR 1928 SEASON IS BRIGHTEST IN YEARS With the. 1927 basketball season brought successfully to a close by the Varsity, , Supervarsity,. and Junior Varsity, all indications seem to be that next year's teams will be the best ever to represent this institution. A large majority of the men on the three Viking championship squads will probably be back to make 192S a banner j'ear in the history of the court game at Bellingham. Of the members of the present Tri- "Normal championship aggregation, which won nine games and lost four, it looks as tho only one regular will be lost. Lyman Stickney, stellar guard,'is planning to teach, but the remainder—Odell, Keplinger, Jensen, Isaacson, and Benson—should all be in the fold when the initial call takes place next Avinter., Odell, one of the best men in a Viking uniform in recent years, is at present a Soph, as is Keplinger, while Jensen, Benson, and Isaacson are all Frosh. This combination, provided it remains intact, should give any hoop team in the Northwest a fight, and will have an excellent chance of going undefeated. Of the men on the Supervarsity, which gained the Bellingham City championship, McClurken, Burke, and Don Stickney will be back to make a fight for varsity honors. These three should develop into high caliber players. The Jayvees also have several men returning. From this season's Class B City title-holders, Blizard, high scoring and aggressive forward; Fished, center, and Norby, guard,' will remain. There are possibilities that several others also will be here. This layout of high class basketball players who .will again represent Bellingham Normal, seems sure to give local hoop fans thrills dur ino- the 192S season.

An-, ubuncer Earl Hemmi, and referee,. Edward Hyde, ' did much to make this event a success. No serious injuries were received or taken, although some of the men of the school are wearing shiners arid a few body bruises as a result of the mauling that prevailed. , . Sundstrom proved his versatility by holding Battling Slim to a draw. No slaughter took place but some terrific blows were given. Keithley and Harper, in the Semi-Finai fought to a draw also. Stuart and Estill fought a. fast three rounds to a draw. Although Grimlund was game and willing, David Totten proved himself a little too good for him, and took the referee's decision in the third round. . Blood prevailed in the Parko- Magellson mix in which they both-fought oil to a draw. The Keppler- Slocum affair also went to a draw. OTSTeall was too clever and too much of a" puncher .for Norby, and sent him sailing into the ropes in the second round after sailing into him with "a series of • body ^punches, that took the wind.out of him, thereby taking the 'decision of the referee.

The first game was played Monday evening with a score of 22 to 10 in favor of the Frosh, and Tuesday evening saw them again victorious, with a 22 to 18 point score. Both teams played with remarkable skill and the games were thrilling from start to finish. This is the first inter- class championship the Freshmen have won this year, and they should be commended on their splendid spirit. Those playing on the first teams were: Sophomores: Rundall, captain; Crabill and \Riekard, forwards; Ling-ley, Cummings and Cox, guards; Liter and Krell, jumping centers; Moore and Olson, side centers. Freshmen: Neeley, captain; Raem-hild and Christiansen, forwards; Useby, G. B. Green and Williams, guards; Nelson and Hicklin, jumping centers; Graham and James, side centers. ; The second team championship was also won by the Freshmen. Sophs Win at Volleyball. Volleyball laurels were carried off by the Sophomores, two games being played. The first was a comparatively easy victory for the Sophs, but the second game gt;. with a score of 24 to 22, was a thriller from start to finish. Elizabeth KrelJ, Clara Liter and Fomia Wakin did outstanding work in winning this game for the Sophs. The Freshmen afforded some keen competition in Florence Dunham, Grace Neeley and Gladys Green. One of the most successful events of the womens sports season was the swimming meet held Friday, March 4, at the Y. W. C. A. pool. The Sophomores emerged victorious, winning 42 points, the Freshmen close behind with 38 points. Those taking part in the events were: Sophomores: Blanche Hamilton, Gwendolyn Shakespeare, Elsie Cummings, Ruth Walters, Annie Nelson, and Edria Runden. Freshmen: Martha Gesdahl, Jean Woll, Madeline Bosshard, and Irene Harris. Events and entries were as follows : 50-yard dash, free style, Gwendo-lin Shakespeare, first, and Martha Gesdahl, second. 40-foot back stroke for form, Edna Runden, first, and Irene Harris, second. 25-yard side stroke for form and speed: Madeline Bosshard, form; Elsie Cummings, speed. Head carry was won by Irene Harr i s , first and Gwen Shakespeare, second. 25-yard dash: Martha Gesdahl,, first; Ruth Walters,.second. 100-yard relay was Avon by the Sophomores, with Hamilton, Shakespeare, Walters, and Cummings participating. The Frosh team consisted of Harris Bosshard, Woll and Gesdahl. Diving: Irene Harris won first place in the straight front dive, and Blanche Hamilton carried off the two optionals. The retrieving relay was won by the Sophomores. The meet was under the direction of-Miss Sheppard. Judges were Miss Skalley, Miss Keller, Mrs| Carver, and Miss Anderson. Edna Munson was announcer; Vesta Larson, clerk of the course; Miss Weythman, start-- Prospects Good for a Winning Racquet Squad Prospects for a winning tennis team this spring loom brightly with the presence of several men of known ability and many dark horses * in school. While but one letterman is returning from last year's Tri-Nor-mal championship court squad, there are enough coming stars here to assure a successful season. Coach Carver- is working on a schedule, and has already arranged several contests. The leading of these will be the battle for the Tri-Normal title, to be staged here early in May. Additional meets with the U. of W. Frosh, St. Martin's College, and College of Puget Sound will probably take place. A team oi$ three or.four men will be chosen by Coach Carver from the Varsity teannis class to be held at eleven o'clock. Robinson Has Reputation. Heading the list, of those who appear to be the best racquet wielders available, is probably Nelson Robinson, who comes from Seattle with a good reputation. He is a veteran with much experience, has played on the Washington Frosh team, and has been cleaning up some of the best players in school. Myer Thai, runner- up in last year's city tournament, and' second man on the 1926 Whatcom high team, is another player who should be in one of the top positions. Bob . Fisher, Whatcom doubles champion, city doubles, finalist and singles semi-finalist, is the third strong men counted on. Both 'Thai and Fisher are left-handers. Ernie Keplinger, the only returning letter-winner, has slowed, up considerably and will.have to hustle .to win his spurs. The leading court artists in school next quarter will include: Robinson, Thai, Fisher, Keplinger, Mock, Chat-field, Jvellam, Jack Smith, and Allen. It is from these that the Varsity will be selected.

Both humorous and serious articles concern the gentlemen in the roadsters who "pick up girls." Even this is not modern.
